PARLIAMENTARY SUMAIA.RY.

In the LORDS' last night, the following Bills were read a
third time and passed—the Illegal Securities Bill, the Clerk
of the Crown Bill, the Special Constables Bill, the Duties on
Wood Collection Bill, the Insolvent Courts (Ireland) Bill,
I and the Savings' Banks (Scotland) Bill. On the motion of
the Duke of RICM!OND, the Tithe on Turnips Bill and the
Tithe I e_e-erery Bill were severally read a second time, and
ordered to be cointi,tted this day. To the former measure
Lord ASHBURTON offered some opposition. There was some
conversation as to the course the House would adopt respect-
ing the progress of the Municipal Corporations Bill, from
which it would appear that the further discussion on the muti-
lated measure will be taken upon the bringing up of tic Re-
port to-night, and that no debate will take place on the thiLTI
reading to-morrow. On the withdrawal of the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY'S motion relative to the affairs of Spain, there
was a highly-interesting debate. The sanguinary decree of
Don CnnLos turns out to be authentic : it was execrated
by all parties—even the Duke of WELLINGTON did not
withhold the expression of his disapproval of the exter-
minating spirit of the Pretender's proclamation. Lord
MELBOURNE., in the strongest terms, denounced the almost
incredible barbarity of the monster who issued it, adding
• that it was without a parallel, save in the annals of the na-
tional convention during the period of the French Revolution.
Some jealousy of France, with respect to Spanish afEtirs was
manifested pretty generally by their Lordships. Lord
BROUGHAM spoke on this subject with a plainness and in a
spirit that found in their Lordships a congeniality of senti-
ment. He was long and loudly cheered. On the Constabu-
lary Force (Ireland) Bill, the Lords in opposition had their
will—throwing it out on the second reading by a majority of
12 votes. The vesting of the nomination of constables iii the
Crown instead of in the Magistrates, was the first and prin.
cipal, but not the only objection to the measure.
In the COMMONS', at four o'clock, there were only 38 Mem-
bers present ; consequently there was no House.

IMPERIAL PARLI AMENT.

THIS DAY, THURSDAY, Auo. 27.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
There were about fifty members present at the sitting of the
House—but not one on the Opposition side.
OATHS ABOLITION BILL.

The Order of the Day for the second reading of this Bill
being read,
Mr. TH 0 RNE L E Y made tome observations, as we under-
stood the Hon. Member, in opposition to a clause in the Bill.
Sir GEORGE GREY observed that the clause to which
the Hon. Member alluded had been brought under the consi-
deration of Government.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the clause. It
frequently happened that in foreign countries affidavits taken
before the constituted authorities of this country were required,
and the clause had been introduced for that purpose.
~The Bill was then read a second time.
HIGHWAYS BILL.

On the motion of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE the Lords'
amendments to this Bill were agreed to. •
DUBLIN POLICE BILL.

The Order of the Day for the third reading of this Bil
having been read, . .

Mr:- JACKSON begged to enter his protest against the
Bill. It conferred an additional power upon the Government,
which, in his opinion, was impolitic and unconstitutional.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
CIVIL BILL COURTS (IRELAND).
. . _ _

Mr. LYNCH moied the further consideration ofthe Repor
on this Bill.

Mr. JACKSON trusted the Hon. Member for Galway would
not press his motion. It appeared by the votes of Friday last
that the further consideration of the Report of this Bill had been
postponed, and many Hon. Members had left town under the
impression that the -Bill would not be proceeded with further.
The Bill gave very extensive jurisdiction to the Civil Bill
Courts, and it was important that the public in Ireland, and
especially the profession, should be made acquainted with the
details of the measure, before it passed into law. He had
another objection to the Bill, which was that an entirely new
clause had been introduced since the Bill li id last been before
the House, giving a jurisdiction to these Courts to raise lega-
cies charged upon real estates, and which it was important for
the House to consider. He thought it a very valuable Bill,
but he thought, at the same time, that the House should take
time to gain information upon this clause.
Mr. LYNCH said the Bill was brought in on the 4th of
June last, and was referred to a Select Committee, which sat
twenty days, and never was any question so thoroughly dis-
cussed as this. If his Hon. Friend thought the Bill im-
portant and valuable why not press it now ?
Mr. JACKSON intimated that he should oppose the clause
before referred to.

Lord J. RUSSELL suggested to the Hon. Member
whether it would be of any avail to pursue his opposition to,
the Bill ?

Mr. RUT HVE N spoke against the Bill.
Lord MORPETH said that the idea of an intention to
postpone the Bill originated in a mistake in one of the printed
orders, which, however, was corrected the foilowinm day.
Mr. JACKSON replied, that many Members had left town
under the impression that this Bill would not be .brought
forward again this Session. He had reccived letters from
many gentleman in Ireland, complaining of this jurisdiction
clause.

After a few words from Mr. RONA YNE, the Gallery was
cleared for a division, but no division took place.
On our return we found the House in Committee on the
Bill. Mr. PRYME in the Chair. _ _

Some verbal amendments were agreed to, and the Report
brought up.
STAMPS AND ASSESSED TAXES BILL.

Mr. BARING moved that the House go into Committee on
this Bill.

Mr. WILES hoped some provision might be made in this
Bill for remunerating the collectors of these taxes, especially
in the Metropolis, for the great reduction made in their incomes
from the reduction made in the taxes.
Mr. BARING said the matter was under the consideration
of the Treasury, who had the power of granting compensations.
M. POTTER did not see why the Metropolitan Col-
lectors .cilio,Ael have a preference over the County ones.
The SrP:gna..Ea then left the Chair, the Bill went through
Committee, inn was reported by Mr. BERNAL.
The Glass Untie, Bill was read a third time, and passed.
On the motion cS ltir. HUME, the Orange Lodge Com-
mittee got leave to sit, no,:withstanding the sitting of the House.
The ATTORNEY-:.4g NE R. AL gave notice that t0;,..-4elect
;,..-4elect Committee to search the
morrow he would move for a.
become of two Bills—the
Lords' Journals, to sae what fizas%.
Execution of Wills Bill, and one fos Regulating the Laws of
Administrators, which were sent up soa x. months ago.—( Loud
cheers.)

PROTESTANT DISSENTIs.'"-
Mr. WILK S was called upon to move " tb• consideration
of the practical grievances of Protestant Dissento.:':" He said
he would not now bring forward that motion, as 1:1 did not
wish to distract the attention of the House from Om-, great
questions which required their undivided attention. ,Early
next Session he would bring forward the whole subject-, Od
attempt to get redress for his Dissenting fellow-brethren.
NAVAL COURTS-MARTIAL.

Sir E. CODRINGTON moved for a return of all Naval
Officers who had lost their half-pay, without their consent, on
the investigation of a Court Martial since 1790. The Gal-
lant Admiral presented three petitions from persons who
claimed that any charges made against them might be sent
for investigation before the legal tribunal of that service—
a Court-Martial. He called upon the Attorney-General to
assist him. . _

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was quite unprepared for
the discussion—if the Gallant Admiral would postpone the
motion till to-morrow, he would be prepared, and then some
gentleman connected with the Admiralty would be present.
After a few words from Mr. LABOUCHERE, the motion
was postponed.
SHANNON NAVIGATION.

On the motion of Mr. BARING, the Bill for the improve-
ment of the navigation of the river Shannon was read a first
time, and ordered- to be read a second time.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the adjournment
of the House.
