Trades' Union of this city), and strong resolutions
were entered into against any of the surrounding
farmers and gentry who should continue to pay
tithes against the common voice of the people.
Next day a horn was sounded through the adjoining
parishes of Rathcoole, Siggard, Tdllaght, Newcas-
tle, Kill, and Celbridge, and at the signal, every
labourer on the grounds of obnoxious individuals
shouldered their spades, sithes, &c., and returned
home. Amongst the number thus treated are Lord
Cloncurry, at Lyons; Matthew Read, Esq., of
Farm-hill ; and Graydon, Esq ,of Newcastle,
adjoining; Colonel Conolly, at Castletown; and
Frederick Bourne, Esq., of 'Ferenure, all of whom
have lately paid tithes to their respective rectors.
The latter gentleman is the mail-coach proprietor
between Dublin and Limerick, bears an excellent
character for liberality, and through all the relations
of public life has hitherto been a deserved favourite
with the people. When he is included by them in
their measures of retaliation, no other upholder of
the tithe system may expect to escape. No labourer
can be prevailed on to work for him until he shall
join in the opposition to tithes, and subscribe to the
fund for remunerating the sufferers. This he has
promised to do, but the people still hold out, and
declare, that he must first come into an assem-
bly of the peasantry, and there avow his altered
opinions and intentions. Meantime his horses are
almost starving, his hay uncut, and his supplies in
the neighbourhood cut off, or unavailable. On
Wednesday morning the coach from Limerick,
through Rathcoole, was obliged to wait till the
coachman, guard, and agent, harnessed and changed
the horses. No ostler or helper could be found—
all had thrown up their situations at the sound of
the horn.

Lord Cloncurry is fully as much perplexed. His
fine meadows on the hill of Lyons lie uncut, and all
his crops and cattle unattended, save by his livery
servants. He obtained the aid of Alderman
Dailey, the chief magistrate of police,7 with a
military escort from Dublin, to proceed to Lyons,
and investigate the circumstances of what he repre-
sents as " the conspiracy of the labourers against the
landholders." But this will have little effect. His
Lordship has already a strong police station in his
gate-house, and has nothing to dread from violence
on the part of the country-people. He has since
been constantly (and conspicuously) in communica-
tion with Lord Anglesey at the Castle, but nothing
satisfactory to the tithe interest, or to his Lordship
has resulted from the interference of the chief ma-
gistrate.

The Society of Friends have just presented
the Anti-Slavery Society with a donation of one thousand
pounds, from a subscription raised to aid in promoting
the total abolition of the Slave Trade and Slavery.

On Monday a meeting was held, pursuant to
public notic, on Kennington Common, which was nume-
rously attended, for the purpose of petitioning both Houses
of Parliament to abolish both military and naval flogging,
at which Mr. HENRY HUNT presided. The speakers re-
probated the brutal custom, and resolutions were pas,,ed
accordingly, and after petitions were passed to he presented
to the Lords and Commons the meeting separated.
EXTRAORDINARY REVENUE.—We learn
that the amount of duties secured to be paid at the Cus-

The Rev. E. IRVING is the only out-of-
door orator whose railings against the Reform measure are
tolerated by the out-of-door public. The Rev. Gentleman
employs his Sunday mornings in denouncing from his
pulpit, in his usual place, under the wall of the House of
Correction, the Reform Act, Reformers, Political Unions,
Sze. He contends, in a style worthy of the Charles-street
Conservatives, that the " new privileges which have been
so much vaunted will only tend to produce strife and dis-
sension—that they will set man against man--and that they
will end in blood."

It having been very generally (and errone-
ous!y, but of course not designedly) circulated throughout
the county of Bucks, that Mr, JOHN S➢LITH, one of that
county's representatives, di,l not intend offering himself
at the approaching general election for Buckinghamshire,
a .correspondent in Saturday's Bucks Gazette (dating his
communication Chesham, July 4), says—" I have this
morning seen a letter from Mr. JOHN SMITH, to a free-
holder residing in the town, in which he states he wishes
it to be publicly made known that it is his intentio❑ again
to come forward ; and being conscious of not having for-
feited any of the pledges which he gave at the last election,
be fears not to meet his constituents, and never had the
least idea of retiring."

THE HIGHLAND SMUGGLERS.—ThiS work
has the merit of being strictly applicable to its title—its
chief object being to depict the unrivalled scenery of the
Highlands, and the manner and habits of that singular
race, who are still almo,t as numerous in the Highlands
of Scotland as they used to be, and whom all the rigour
of the laws, and all the ingenuity which has been employed
to carry them into effect, have not been able to extirpate,
nor will, while freedom of motion, of thoughts, and of
act, is sweet to the heart of roan. Appearing as the
work does at this se son of the year, we hope the High-
land Lairds are prepared for an unusual extent of hospita-
lity ; descriptions like those in the novel being enough to
turn the thoughts of three parts of our southern tourists to
the land of the heather.

visited by a large shoal of porpoises, many of which were
left in that part of the bay called Poulton Ring, after the
,I thing of the tide. Upwards of twenty boats were imme-
diately manned by the principal part of the male villagers,
who armed themselves with every kind of offensive wea-
po they could become possessed of, viz. sithes, spades,
I"rks, &c., and after a combat of several hours, they suc-
ceeded in securing three, of which the following are the
tErnensions :—first 10 feet long by 6 feet 2 inches in
girth; second 11 f. et by 6 feet 5 inches; and the third
I 1 feet 3 inches. The remaining part of the shoal made
their escape, on the flowing of the following tide, but not

the instruments made use of in the taking of those above
named,

The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice, that he will

mitted on Friday next.
The Marquess of WESTMEATH inquired whether
the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack had any ob-
jection to the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill being brought on
at this period of the day ? He considered himself en-
titled to ask this question, because the Noble and Learned
Lord had brought on the subject of this Bill (upon the re-
port) at a late hour Let night, and, indeed, so late and so
snugly was it done, that he believed it had not been notieed
by any one of the newspapers. He moved that the Bill
be' now brought up on the third reading.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Noble
Marquess bad began what he had to say by asking a ques-
tion, and ended by making a motion—(Loud laughter)
—rather a comical sort of statement. He (the
Lord Chancellor) bad intended to move that the
House should proceed further upon the Scotch Reform
Bill immediately, but if it were a matter of consequence
to the Noble Marquess, he would not object to the bring-
ing in of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill just now. He
begged, however, to say respecting that Bill, that the sub-
ject had been brought on in its regular course last night,
and after he had distinctly informed the Noble Marquess
that he intended to bring it on.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said it was very true
that at ten o'clock last night he asked the Noble and
Learned Lord if it was his intention to bring on the Bill,
and he said it was. He (the Noble Marquess) had, how •
ever, remained in the House till twelve o'clock—nothing
had been said about it up to that time, but after be
had left the House he understood it had been brought on.
It was to be hoped this was not the way in which the
third reading was intended to be smuggled through, be-
cause it certainly was not a very desirable mode of dis-
posing of public business.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said why any Noble
Lord should believe a Bill was not to come on because be
had been told that it would come on, he could not ima-
gine. He had told the Noble Magness last night, in as
distinct terms as he could express himself, that the Bill
would come on, and it did come in its regular course.
He begged to inform the Noble Marquis now that it
was his intention to bring in the Bill again
to-night, but that unless he were asked to let it
be brought on out of its regular course, he certainly would
not move the third reading until the busines which stood
before it had been got through.
The Marquess of WESTMEATH—I ask for no such
accommodation.
The Lord CHANCELLOR then said he saw no
reason why the accommodation ..should be granted,
and that unless advised by their Lordships to the
contrary, he should proceed regularly with the busi-
ness as it stood before the House. The whole House then
resolved itself, upon the motion of the Duke of Rion-
MOND, into a Committee upon the
SCOTCH REFORM BILL.

The 101. householders clause, and several others, were
agreed to without opposition.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought it would be better

that the election for the county of Edinburgh should take
Place at Dalkeith rather than Edinburgh, but did not move
any amendment.
The Earl of HADDINGTON observed that the
_ _

Islands of Orkney and Shetland were at such a distance
from each other that the Sheriff or Under-Sheriff would
require to have a Government steam-boat at his command
during the whole time of the elections.
Several verbal amendmends were then made in various
clauses of the Bill, at the suggestion of the LORD
CHANCELLOR.

The Earl of HADDINGTON regretted that the Bill
should have come from the Commons without enacting a
qualification for the Member to be elected, and he would
consider whether he would not move an amendment in this
respect on the report.
. _

The whole of the clauses and schedules were then agreed
!o, and the report ordered to be brought up on Thursday.

ECCLESIASTICAL CONTEMPTS BILL.

The report of the Committee was brought up, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the third reading
of this Bill.

The Marquess of %VESTMEATH considered this Bill a
most foul attempt to pass an ex post facto law. He spoke
with feelings of great pain--with as painful feelings, per-
haps, as any Noble Lord had ever spoken under. The
Noble and Learned Lord attempted to throw dust in their
eyes. He complained that the Bill had a retrospective
view, and he felt convinced that the Bill was designed
against him, and him alone. The Noble Marquess fur-
ther stated, that it was of consequence to know who was
the author of the Bill. The parent of the Bill was Dr.
Lushington. The Noble and Learned Lord put the Bill
into the hands of those who had preyed on him, with a
view of enabling them to obtain that from him what the
law of the land did not enable them to get. That %vas the
origin of this retrospective Bill. [The Noble Marquess
spoke at much greater length against the Bill, but the
House not being lighted up—the Noble Marquess called
for a light to read some document. It was quite impos•
Bible to take any notes. For upwards of half an hour their
Lordships continued to talk in that state of comparative
darkness; their voices were heard, and they were dimly
seen, but what they said could not be written.]—The Noble
Marquess condemned in strong terms a Learned Individual,
whom he called a Judge, a Commissioner, a retrospective
Bill- drawer, and said that he hail brought forward
the measure after be had refused all the terms of ar-

rangetnent which had been offered. That Learned
Person declared he would have the Bill, the whole Bill,
and nothing but the Bill. The Noble Marquess subse-
quently alluded to a prosecution he had instituted ag I inst
some witnesses for a conspiracy—when some of them
were sentenced to be imprisoned, but the principal con-
spirator escaped, owing to his humanity and forbearance.
The Noble and Learned Lord had glossed over all this
transaction. It was the tyrannous conduct which had
raised his indignation, and made him resolve to bring the
whole matter before their Lordships.
The LORD CHANCELLOR doubted whether he
ought to take any notice whatever of the observations of
the Noble Marquess. The Noble Marquess seemed to
wish to entice him to enter into an investigation of the
Noble Marquess's domestic concerns, and all the law-suits
in which he had been engaged; but he should do no such
thing. He knew little or nothing of those transactions,
but what had come to his knowledge as having been once
employed as Counsel far the Noble Marquess ; and be
knew that the final judgment had been given against the
Marquess. Against the sentence of the Ecclesiastical
Court the Noble Marquess had appealed to a Court a
Review, and there he believed the final judgment was
against the Noble Marquess. The Noble Marquess had
charged him with a wilful suppression of the particulars
of his case—

The Marquess of 'WESTMEATH (interrupting the
Lord Chancellor) had stated that the Noble and Learned
Lord had undertaken to mention his case to the House,
and the Noble and Learned Lord should not have dune
that, unless he bad stated the whole case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not undertake to state
the Noble Marquess's case, hut the Noble Marquess had in
tiis speech made one of the most furious attacks upon him,
and in the most unmeasured language of any of the attacks
that he had ever witnessed or heard in any public assembly.
One part of the Noble Marquess's attack was bemuse he
bad alluded to his case in the House, and had referred to
some of the disputes in which the Noble Mai quest; had
been involved with his wife—[The Marquess of Westmeath
again interrupted the Lord Chancellor, and repeated some
of his former observations.]—.He had already mentioned
