IRISH EDUCATION,

The Bishop of EXETER said that he had given notice
of his intention to present a petition against certain mem-
bers of the Commission issued with respect to education in
Ireland. As that petition contained charges against certain
Officers of the Crown, he should not present it until a re-
cognized Government was in existence. He would there-
fore postpone the presentation of the petition till after
the recess.
'The Duke of WELLINGTON moved that the
House should adjourn until to-morrow at 10 o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM—No, no, I have some judgments
to give.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—NobIe Lords need
not wait ; I shall remain here.
Lord BROUGHAM—The Noble Duke need not re-
main, unless he chooses.—(Laughter.)
His Lordship then read his judgment.
After which, on the motion of the Duke of WELLING-
TON, the House adjourned till to-morrow.

WORCESTER ELECTION.
Mr. E. DENNISON brought up the report of the
Committee upon the Worcester election, finding that the
present Member, Joseph Bailey, had been duly elected ;
and that neither the petition nor the opposition to it were
frivolous or vexatious.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition in favour
of the Manchester and Bolton Railway, from Bolton.

LEITH HARBOUR.

Sir JOHN CAMPBELL presented two petitions
from Edinburgh against the Leith Harbour Bill, and moved
that they be referred to the Committee.
After some discussion, the House divided, when the
numbers were—
Noes 72
Ayes 2B
Majority 44
Mr. PALMER, Mr. TOOKE, Mr. CLAY, and several other
Hon. Members, brought up private bills, the names of which
did not reach us.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and said—Mr. Speaker, I
have received an intimation from his Majesty that ar-
rangements for the formation of a new Gevernment are
in progress, but are not yet finally completed ; under these
circumstances I cannot doubt but that the same mo-
tive which induced the House on a former day to con-
sent to an adjournment will still influence them, and
that this House will consent to the motion I am about to
make—it is that the House at its rising do adjourn until
Thursday next.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion was accordingly agreed to.
Sir JOHN CAMPBELL gave notice that he should,
on Thursday next present a petition signed by upwards of
13,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh, approving of the Resolu-
tion of the House respecting the Church of Ireland Appro-
priation Bill, and praying that some measures might be
passed to carry it into effect.
On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, a new writ was moved
for the North Division of the County of Essex, in the room
of Mr. A. Baring, now Lord Ashburton.
The House then adjourned until Thursday next.

ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. The House of
Commons' Committee on this Bill, after sitting ten days, and
examining a great number of witnesses pro and con., brought
their labours to a conclusion on Friday, and agreed to a report
in favour of the Bill—the number on a divison being in favour
of the proof of the preamble 23 to 12.
THUNDER-STORMS AND LOSS OF LIVES.—On
Thursday and Friday, the parishes of Nleifod and Llansaint-
ffraid, in Montgomeryshire, and Llanyblodwell and Oswestry,
in Shropshire, were partially visited with one of the most
dreadful thunder-storms probably ever witnessed by any of the
oldest inhabitants. The flashes of lightning coming in quick
succession were extraordinarily vivid, the thunder extremely
loud, and the rain so unusually heavy, pouring down the banks
in such mighty torrents, that fields, roads, and even houses,
were so inundated that the inhabitants were greatly disturbed
and alarmed. The floods became so violent, driving gravel,
stones, &c., down the rivulets, as to obstruct the roads with
rubbish, forcibly and suddenly driven before the torrents. In
the town of Oswestry the lightning excited extreme alarm,
and became an object of terrible sublimity. A chimney be-
longing to the Boys' National School was scattered, and the
children ran away in terror ; in a house adjoining, a female
was struck down and a wall damaged ; and we regret to say
that a labourer, named Richard Bagley, of Morda, was struck
dead by lightning, when a short distance from the town, laden
with sticks ; the lightning flashed upon his breast, passed
down his leg, and split one of the wooden clogs which he
wore. The funeral on Sunday was numerously attended, and
the ceremony made a deep impression on the multitude.
