TON BY THE PEOPLE.

Lord Palmerston came down to the House in his car-
riage shortly before five o'clock this evening. An
immense crowd of well-dressed persons was assembled
around the Members' entrance to meet the Noble Lord,
and the ENGLISH MINISTER was, on his appear-
ance, greeted by the hearty English cheers of
those assembled, and who thus testified their
approval of his spirited English policy. The
English people will not be Russian serfs, whatever Eng-
lish Tory aristocrats may choose to be. The Noble
Lord had evidently not expected such a reception, but
it was equally evident that he was well pleased with this
spontaneous burst of hearty English feeling in support
of him who is par excellence the ENGLISH PATRIOT
MINISTER.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat specially this morning to dispose of bu-
siness standing over.
Mr. Justice CBE/SWELL delivered the judgment of
the Court in a great number of cases, but nothing of
general interest occurred.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD Ciaur JUSTICE
and a Common Jury.)

LONGHORE U. BUSSEY.
The Court was occupied this morning with this case,
which was an action for the recovery of 481. 17s. Bd., due
partly as the balance of a bill and partly for goods de-
livered. The defence was that the date of the bill had
been altered by the plaintiff between the time of its
being drawn and of its becoming due; and as regarded,
the goods, that by the arrangement of credit entered
into between the patties the payment was not yet duo.
The evidence was of great length, and very contradictory
—one witness swearing that an erasure apparent in
the bill had been made before the bill was drawn,
and another witness that it was done three months
afterwards.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
full amount.

The Afoniteur says—" The Minister of Commerce
has submitted to the examination of the Council of
State a Bill for modifying the tariffs of sugar and
coffee. The Bill, which has been examined by the
Council-General of Agriculture, Manufactures, and
Commerce, enacted that the new legislation
should come into effect for the Ist July. It is,
however, no longer permitted to hope that
such can he the case. After the examination of the
Council of State the Bill will have to be submitted
to the Legislative Assembly, where it will have to
be read three times, which will require a long delay.
It is even difficult to foresee the period at which the
new Bill will be adopted, but the Government will do
all that depends on it to hasten the vote, and, if ne •
cessary, to carry it into execution."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

'HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
SMALL TENEMENTS RECOVERY (IRELAND:

BILL.

Lord FARNHAM moved the committal of this Bill,
the object of which wss to extend the Act of 1848.

The. Earl of CARLISLE thought it would have been
better to wait for the Bill now in the House of Com-
mons on this subject, but as he saw nothing objection-
able he would not oppose the committal of the Bill.
Their Lordships then resolved themselveslinto Com-
mittee.
The Bill passed through Committee, and the House
resumed.
YOST-OFFICE SUNDAY DELIVERY.

Lord BROUGUAfiI again drew the attention of
their Lordships to the inconvenience arising from
the abolition of the Post-office Sunday delivery.
In ene case. relating to the. trial of an im-
portant cause, persons had been obliged to
send off a 50 cull ,express, and in another instance a
'ph)'sician had :ortunately been sent for on Friday,
and received t',e letter on Saturday, and went to see his
patient, but i: illness had occurred on the Saturday,
and the Itti,r had not been delivered until the
Ntinday morning, the patient would have died
for v►ant of medical assistance. He hoped
the' Government would not persevere in carrying
out a decision of the House of Commons which had
beer! stirprise. He was sure the carrying-
Out the rule would tend to the desecration of the Sab-
bath. •

' 'The Marquis-of LANSDOWNE was not surprised
at hesiing the statement of his Noble and Learned Friend.
He had made inquiries as to the point of law raised by
• his Noble end Learned Friend as to the power of the
Crown to step the Post-office Sunday d- livery, and there
could be no doubt but that the Crown had the power,
but it certainly would not have been exercised but for
' the'vote of the House of Commons.
Lord BROUGHAM said the Government hid e
monopoly of the• delivery of letters, and if he were not
p.rmitted to send letters himself, the Government cer-
tainly was bound to send letters at all times.
Lord MONTEAGLE said that whatever the law
might be,.if this obstruction was persevered in the laW
would be evaded, to the detriment of the revenue, and to
the profit of the smugglers, who had been compelled to
become smugglers by the absurdity of the law.
PUBLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
On the motion for the Committee of this Bill •

The Earl of MINTO said that the Bill was" op'en to
considerable objections, as it gave too much power to the
' • justices to whom it give the power of deciding the
number of public houses sufficient for a district, and also
' gave them the power of selecting what houses should be
liceneed.
Lord liINITAIRD supported the Bill. The Bill had
received the general support of the people of Scotland.
He should be very happy to introduce certain amend-
ments in the report.
.12he Earl of .MINTO would not object to its cora-
zaittal.
; :The Bill then passed through Committee.
POST-OFFICE SUNoAY DELIVERY.

Lord BItOUGIIAM paid that in reference to the
Post;office Acts, the Government was bound to receive,
4. carry, and deliier letters, and therefore they had no
,;" power of stopping the delivery.
LOSS OF THE ORION.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked if there
..,L was any objection to produce the correspondence re.
.2,„llating to the loss of the Orion off Portpatrick. If the
4seket station had not been removed from that port, the
boats of the packet service would have been on the spot,
and-the loss of life would have been lees.
The Earl (,f MINTO would have been able to give a
more resatisfactory answer if he had had notice, but he
did not apprehend there would be any objection to the
produotioa of the papers.
