CAPTAIN WARRINGTON.

We have already published at length the sentence of the
general Court-martial on Captain Warrington ; and at the
same time was stated, in substance, the confirmation of that
sentence by his Majesty. The following are the terms
in which his Majesty's confirmation of the sentence is
couched :

" His Majesty has been pleased to approve and confirm
the finding and sentence of the Court.
" In consideration, however, of the unanimous and most
earnest recommendation of the Court, as conveyed in a
letter from the President to the Judge-Advocate General,
which accompanied the proceedings, his Majesty has been
further pleased to eztend hia most gracious clemency to the
prisoner, so far as to restore him to the service, for the
purpose of retiring from it by the sale of a troop."
The General Commanding-in-Chief directs, that the
fnregegoing charges preferred against Captain William
Henry Warrington, of the 3d regiment of Dragoon Guards,
together with the finding and sentence of the Court, and his
Majesty's commands thereon, be entered in the general
order book, and read at the head of every regiment in his
Majesty's service.
,By command of the Right Hon. the General
Commanding-in- Chief,
JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General.

IMPERIAL PA RLIAMENT

OF THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. CLIVE reported that the Committee on the Dor-
setshire election petition had met on Saturday, and ad-
journed and met agai❑ to-day, and were again obliged to
adjourn, in consequence of the absence of the Lord Advo-
cate and the Hon. IL Smith (two of the Committee) from
illness.

On the motion of the HON. MEMBER, Sir Charles
Bell, a medical gentleman, was called to the bar, and
examined as to the state of the Lord Advocate ; he stated
that the Lord Advocate was exceedingly unwell, and that
in consequence he had been prevented from attending his
duty on the Committee. From present appearances, be
(Sir Charles Bell) would not advise the Lord Advocate to
attend even to.naorrow, if it were an ordinary occasion.
A discussion then took ploce as to the period during
which the Lord Advocate should be excused attendance.

Mr. LITTLETON assured the House that the illness
of the Lord Advocate was particularly observable, and
nothing was more calculated to bring on a return of
it than attending to a long and laborious inquiry.
He therefore suggested that the Learned Lord should be
excused from fui they attendance on the Committee.
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE reminded the House
that the parties wou!d be put to very considerable expense
by any protracted or indefinite adjournment.
Mr. WILKES thought that:beforethe House agreed to
the suggestion of the Hon. Member (11r. Littleton) they
ought to have more specific evidence of a medical gentle-
man before them.

The SPEAKER thought it would be better to recall
Sir Charles Bell, and ask whether it was probable that
the Lord Advocate could attend to-morrow. The House
having agreed to it,
Sir C. Bell was brought again to the bar, and he said
he thought that the Lord Advocate might possibly be able
to attend to-morrow, but- he could not say whether the
Learned Lord would he able to give his continual attendance.
Mr. Seaton, a medical man was then introduced, and
be deposed to the illness of the Hon. Mr. Smith, but ex-
pressed an opinion that he would be able to attend to-
morrow.

After a few further observations, the attendance of the
Lord Advocate and Mr. Smith was excused for this day.
Lord MORPETH presented a petition from the agent
for a Bill for making a road from Doncaster to Selby,
stating that the Bill had not been brought in in consequence
of a misunderstanding on his part of the standing orders of
the House, and praying for leave to bring in the Bill. The
Noble Lord trusted the House would grant the prayer of
the petition, as the speedy making of the road was ex-
tremely important. The House bad granted him a si-
milar indulgence under like circumstances, with respect
to the Bill for forming a new road between London and
Edinburgh.

Mr. STRICKLAND supported the prayer of the pe-
tition, and trusted the House would grant the relief
prayed.
Sir. T. FRENIANTLE as a Member of the; Commit-
tee on the standing orders, had no objection to the granting
of the prayer of the petition.—The petition was ordered
to be read ;
And, on the motion of Lord Moarwrit, leave was given
to bring in the Bill.

Mr. A. LEFROY presented a petition against the new
plan of education in Ireland. The Hon. Member con-
curred entirely with the prayer of the petition, but would
not at the present moment enter into the discussion of the
question.

Lard ACIIESON, on being called on by the Speaker,
rose for the purpose of presenting a petition, when
Mr. GRATTAN rose to call the Noble Lord to order.
Some mistake had arisen, as the Noble Lord had not put
his name on the list before he did in the morning. Ac-
cording to the ballot his name stood seventh, and the
Noble Lord eleventh in the Speaker's list.
The SPEAKER observed that the lion. Member was
under a total misapprehension of the facto of the case.
The Noble Lord was in perfect order.
Lord COLE presented a petition from a parish in
Longford, against the New System of Education in Ireland.
Mr. WILBRAHAM presented a petition front Mac-
clesfield signed by 17,000 persons against the Factories
Bill. The Hon. Member also presented petitions from
several other places on the same subject, and stated that
although he was opposed to some of the details of the Bill,
yet he was willing that it should go to a second reading.
Sir E. HAYES presented a petition from the Distil-
lers of Donegal, respecting the malt duties drawback.
SCRIPTURAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

Sir JOHN BRYDGES presented a petition against
the proposed changes in the Irish education. He cordially
concurred in the prayer of the petition.
Sir R. BA TESON was sorry to perceive that some had
been apparently concocted for the purpose of frustrating
the wishes of the people, and preventing this subject of
Irish scriptural education being fairly brought under the
consideration of that House. There was no subject in
his estimation which was so highly important and interest-
ing as the subject which this petition referred to. The almost
unanimous wishes of the Protestants in the province of
Ulster, and indeed generally throughout Ireland were opposed
to the new system of education proposed by his Majesty's
Government. The subject had created a general feeling
throughout all Ireland, and there was now a petition in
the possession of an Hon. Gentleman, of which the House
had heard so often, but which he was afraid would not he
presented from the Synod of Ulster, which spoke the
sentiments of the great mass of Protestants in the north of
Ireland. The seceding ministers of Ireland, as well as all
their congregations, had petitioned the House against the
proposed alterations, and their petitions were entitled not
only to the attention of his Majesty's Government, but
also of that House. :He implored gentlemen, before
they went too far to consider well what they were about
and not irritate the whole Protestant population of Ire-
land by persevering in a project of which, although good,
perhaps, in their review of the theory, would never
practically succeed. In the north of Ireland the Protestants
objected to the new scheme because they could not have
the Word of God given to their children without notice or
comment; and the Roman Catholics only objected to the
Kildare-street Society because the Scriptures were read
there without continent. Was it politic •r wise for
his Majesty's Ministers to change their opinion with
regard to that system of education merely to conciliate
a class of his Majesty's Irish subjects, although inferior
in numerical force, by nd means the principal and im-
portant class in that community? Were their wishes en-
tirely to be overlooked and disregarded ? It had been said
that the opposition to the proposed changes had been
got up on political party, and factious motives. He
took that opportunity, however, of flatly and most un-
equivocally denying that; and he hada petition from a con-
gregation in the north of Ireland representing themselves
Reformers, entirely disavowing all party motives, and de-
claring that they will neither support the present
nor any other Administration which would force
such a system ae the present, against the almost unanimous
wishes of the Protestant part of the community. There
was not the slightest grotind for the allegation diet their
opposition had been suggested by factious motives. The
Synod of Ulster was a body least of all likely to be so
influenced and actuated. It was composed of the
most respectable, moral, intelligent, and influential perons
in the north of Ireland, and the members of their con-
gregations who had assigned this petition against the
proposed change, were little short of half a million.
The Dissenters, the clergy of the Established Church in the
diocese of Derry and the diocese of Dublin, and the greater
part of the Bishops were unanimous in their reprobation
of the system. Rather than have this system, they de-
clared that they would prefer having no grant at all; and
they would have the charitable and religious educate the
poor of their own denominations according to their
ewn principles. He would call the equation of till
Honieirahle Secretary for Ireland to the present
state of that country. In what a different condition did
the provinces of Ulster and Munster resent themselves ?
And it was all to be attributed to the superior religious
education which the former possessed. No literary edu-
cation could ever be of advantage to the lower orders of
Irishmen, unless it was bottomed on scriptural prin-
ciples. Two hundred and thirty thousand had already
signed their names to the petitions; and there were, he
believed, upwards of fifty petitions in the possession of an
hon. friend; if time could be afforded for their presentation.

(PRICE 7D.)

The Hon. Gentleman callad upon Ministers, in the name
of all the Protestants of Ireland, not to forcet this system
of education on the Irish population. He assured the
House that great anxiety prevailed throughout the north
of Ireland and those who had heretofore been tale sup-
porters of Goveinment were decidedly adverse to the
system. They could think of nothing worse than a
system of education which took from the parents of
children the entire controul over them ; the entire
selection of their books, and which gave to the
children a mutilated sacred book. It was impossible that
any man could reduce any portions of the Scriptures so as
to be worthy of the Bible. Under these circumstances he
could not but support the Bill which was against the
system.

Sir J. M. DOYLE presented a petition from Newton,
Carlow, praying for the entire abolition of tythes.
Mr. P. GRATTAN presented petitions from various
parts of Ireland, praying for the abolition of tithes ; for
the same system of Reform to be introduced into Ireland
that is proposed to be introduced into England, and that
the ancient franchise of Galway may be continued.
Sir R. BATEMAN presented a petition from the
Presbyterian Seceding Body of Donegal, praying for a
more equal distribution of the requim donum. There
was not a more respectable class is existence than the
Irish Presbyterians; and, he was authorized to say,
that none of them bad ever been known to forfeit
his life to the laws of his country. Their Clergymen
were educated expensively, and they conducted themselves
respectably, notwithstanding they bad only thirty-nine
pounds (Irish) per annum. With this it was quite im-
possible they could be expected to maintain themselves and
families in the respectable station in which they were
obliged to rank.

Cord ACHESON supported the petition. The petitioners
were, to his knowledge, a most respectable sect, and the Pres-
byterian Dissenters consisted of not less than a hundred and
twenty, or a hundred and thirty congregations in Ireland.
Mr. HUME was sorry that any request should have
been at present made on the public funds at a11._...
If this request were granted, he saw no reason
why a claim should not be made by all the seced-
ing bodies both in England and Scotland, He
hoped if the House heard much more on subject from
the petitions that Ministers would think it right to with-
draw the grant altogether. If not, be himself would pro
bably not think it improper, at no distant day, to have all
the Dissenters placed en an equal footing throughout the
kingdom.
Lord CASTLEREAGH bad no doubt, that if the
Hon. Member did bring forward such a notice as that of
which he had just threatened, he would find those in the
House who would be able to meet it. He (Load Casstle-
reagh) supported the prayer of the petition.
sir ROBERT I3ATEMAN presented a petition from
the city and liberties Londonderry against the Grand
Jury system.
Mr. WYSE wished to know whether it was the inten-
tion of his Majesty's Government to take any step towards
the restrictions of the expenses attending the system ?
Mr. STANLEY said that it was his intention
to bring in a Bill on the subjeet,t by which the constabu-
lary expenses, at all events, would be considerably reduced ;
but it was impossible for him to enter into any details
of what this Bill would contain, as it was at present alto-
gether in an unfit state to bring before the House.
The petition was read and ordered to be printed.
SILK TRADE.

Lord GROSVENOR moved the order of the day for
renewing the debate on the motion for a Committee to en-
quire into the state of the silk trade.
The order of the day having been read,

The NOBLE Loan, in resuming the debate, wished to
make the explanations on one or two points of the state-
ments which he had made on n former evening, and
which he found bad been misunderstood. There was
one objection which he had stated to the House of
an Honourable Member (Mr. Morrison), being one
of the Committee, and he was understood to
have objected to that Hon. Member, because he was in-
terested in the question. He wished here to observe that
he had no personal objection whatever to that Honour-
able Member, but he felt that individuals who have an inter.
eat in the question would naturally feel a bias which was
more likely to lead their minds to a consistency in their
opinions than to an impartial discu,sion of the subject. The
interesest to which he had alluded had not the remotest
reference to any pecuniary transactions in which that or
any other Member was concerned. He bad been
also misunderstood in another point. He had
stated that there was an establishment at Battersea, be-
longing to two highly respectable individuals, Messrs.
Haines and Atkinson. on which 19,0001. had been spent for
manufactures and machinery, and the whole of which, a
few months ago was disposed of for 5,0501. In the cost
of that establishment he had made a trifling error ;
for instead of 19,0001., it had cost quite 18,000. ;
but he was correct in the price for which it was sold.
He had also stated that the firm had lost a sum of
40,0001., but upon inquiry he had since learnt that
it was by no means so great. The Noble Lord
concluded by nominating the Committe among whom
were, besides himself, Ms. P. Thompson, Sir
Robert Peel, Mr. Alderman Yenables, Mr. G.
Lamb, Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. F. Lewis, Mr. F. Buxton,
Mr. M. S. STEWART, Mr. S. MacxxxxzE,.lllr. SutEr.,
&c.. &c. five to be a quorum.
The motion was put and agreed to.
Mr. S. WORTLEY mo►ed for certain returns relative
to Parochial Assessments, which were ordered.
Sir R. PEEL wished to put a question to the Noble
Lord (Althorp) by the desire of persons connected
with more than one Water Company in the metropolis.
It would be of great importance to those Companies
and to the public if they could be informed when
Mr. Telford's Report as to the best mode of supply-
ing the Metropolis with water, would be ready to
be presented to the House, because many plans
that had been laid before some of the Water
Companies had been abandoned in expectation of having
that report shortly before the public.

Lora ALTHORP made a reply which was whelly
inaudible inaudible in the gallery.

CHOLERA IN 'LONDON.

Mr. HUAIE bad seen in the Papers of this day an an-
nouncement that 10 cases of cholera had occurred
in the parish in which he resided (Mary-lebonne),
a etatement which which was calculated to excite great
alarm. He had instituted nu inquiry, and he had ascer-
tained from the medical men that none of those cases
exhibited symptoms of cholera. He wished to ask,
therefore, upon what authority chose str,ternents were pub-
lished, for having a Central Mecical Board, he thought that
no Casey ought to be put in their reports but what were
cases of real cholera.—(Hear. hear.)
Mr. P. THOMPSON begged to state in reply, that
inspectors, who were medical men, werre appointed
by the Central Board jur different quarters of
the town. Those inspectors reported such cases
as came tinder their notice, and the Board of
Health received them upon their authority, In that
manner the cases at Marylabone reported. He
found it stated in the papers of to-day that these
cases were admitted by the medical men not to be cho-
lera ; and, in consequence, the Board of Health had
sent for them, who repeated thew. He had not heard the
result of the inquiry.
Mr. HUME said the public ought to be satisfied on
that point, because complaints had been made of the con-
duct of the Board of Health.

Mr. P. THOMPSON begged to call the attention o f
the House to a return which had been moved for,and which
false reports within the last few days had been math
was now on the table, becalm he had observed various
respecting the remuneratson to the medical gentle.
men. Some of those reports had stated that
fund of the medical gentlemen received as much as twenty
guineas a-day. He trusted, however, that the House and
t.'ie public wouid inspect the returns on the table, when
they wool I find that so far from its icing even competent
remuneration, the great proportion were raid but 7s. 6tl.
per day for all their labour and an4iety.—(
