Loot, FRIDAY, 4UNE. 7, 1814.

In theToil/a of Lords, last night, the Royal
Assent:was even by Commission to several inThortant
BMA, the titles of which are recapitulated in our re-
port of the proceedings.
43% , the Earl of Eostorres moving the second
reeding of (Sir TuomAs) wmaores Estate Bill, for
the inclosure of Hampstead-heath, an interesting de-
bate arose.

Lord DIINMAN, in opposing it, contended that the
term of the will under which Sir THOMAS WILSON
held this property were so explicit, that there could
be no necessity for the Bill. He cautioned their
Lordships not to be misled by the statement that this
was not an Inclosure Bill, in the ordinary under-
standing of the phrase ; for at all events, it gave
power to certain parties to build over 400 acres of land,
now, and for years past, a constant and favourite
resort of thousands of our metropolitan population,
the power of contributing to whose happiness and
enjoyment, by keeping the heath open as at present,
the Noble and Learned Lord should have thought
might have abundantly outweighed the consideration
of any trifling increase that it was proposed thus to
produce in the rental of the property. The will of
the late Sir TnomAs WILSON had been very unjustly
reflected on. Re thoughth it. a most humane one, and
that the deceenajoseydii:iesnitriufc intended to devise to the
public the
any of his other property this heath, as he did to be-
queathpthroperty to his son.
Lop CAIII.IIEI,I,
prayed tbeii Lordships to'reejEe:lthoef IIYiirSFIELI3O also

Lord COLCHESTER, the Earl of WICKLOW, and
Lord COTTENIIAM supported it.
On a division, there appeared a majority of 11
against the second reading, and thus the obnoxious
Bill was " lost."
A letter from Lord ELLENBOROUGH, acknowledging
the thanks of the House for the services rendered by
our army in India, was ordered to be entered in the
journals, and the House adjourned.
In the Commons, 'a vast number of petitions were
presented against and in favour of the Dissenters'
Chapels Bill. One of these was from a body of
Wesleyans, setting forth that, "having examined the
' Bill," they now found reason to withdraw their former
opposition to it, and prayed to be allowed to retract
the petitiim which they had caused to be presented
against it.
Lord R. GROSVENOR was in a still more embar-
rassing position. He presented several petitions in
favour of, and as many against the Bill, and, having
inspected the signatures, found them, numerically, so
nearly balanced, that he was unable to inform the
House whether he was to consider himself as petition-
ing for the passing or for the rejection of the Bill !
In answer to a question from Mr. GRANTLEY
BERKELEY, Lord STANLEY said that he had only that
morning received dispatches from Demerara, an-
nouncing the fact, that; an enactment had passed the
Legislature of British Guiana, sanctioning the rais-
ing of a loan, for that colony, in this country. The
Noble Lord adied, he had not yet received cer-
tain papers adverted to by Dr. BOWRING, as contain-
ing declarations of the Government of Hong-Kong
against slavery and the trade in slaves.
Mr. MUNTZ put a question to Sir ROBERT PEEL as
to the intentions of Government touching the liability
of the Bank of England to pay in gold the
14,000,0001. to be issued against securities, or any
part thereof, in the event of such a drain of gold as
should have the effect of withdrawing from circulation
all notes exceeding that amount of issues.
, Sir ROBERT PEEL, who treated the question as an
" untoward one," recapitulated, for answer, the heads
of the plan announced by him on the 7th and the 20th
ultimo, in that House.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, after the presentation
of further petitions, moved the second reading of the
Dissenters' Chapels Bill. It contained, he said, no
provisions that could affect the property of the
Wesleyan body, or property of members of the
Church of England, for its operation was confined to
Dissenters' chapels. The costs of a suit which had
now been carried on fur fourteen years, had almost
absorbed the property in question—and, despite a de-
cision of the House of Lords, the dispute was no
nearer adjustment than it was at that distant period.
In reference to the progressive spirit of to!era-
tion in which the Legislature had relieved various
other classes of Dissenters from various dis-
abilities and penalties, he conceived that Parliament
was bound to act in the same tolerant feeling
towards Unitarians, to whom if this Bill would give
a confirmation of rights which the present state of
the law rendered uncertain, it was idle to fear that it
would give encouragement to their doctrine. Her
MAJESTY'S Government, in submitting to the House
of Commons a Bill which had come down from the
Peers, recommended to them by such authorities as
Lords BROUGHAM, CAMPBELL, DENMAN, and COT*
TENHAM, and •by the LORD CHANCELLOR, had no
other object in view but to do justice, and to put an
end to a cruel, protracted, and vexatious litiga-
tion. The Hon. and Learned " Gentleman
went into a lucid and perspicuous statement
of the several clauses of the Bill, and the scope
and application of their enactments. The details
might be discussed in Committee ; but he hoped the
House would unanimously affirm the second reading.
Sir R. INGLIs looked upon the subject-matter of
the Bill as a question of law and of property. If on
that ground alone, he should oppose the measure ;
and he moved "That it be read a second time that
day six MOnths." -
Mr. PLUMPTEB seconded the amendment.
Mr. MACAULAY supported the Bill, after a power-
ful appeal, in which he passed a high encomium on
the very able and eloquent speech of the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL. The noble and constitutional doctrine
avowed by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, in
vindicating the rights of private judgment, and the
claims of religious opinion, cannot be studied, in the
perusal of his speech, without deep admiration.
Mr. BERNAL and Mr. M. MILNEB severally stated
the grounds of their support to the Bill ; and, after the
House had been addressed by Mr. Fox MAULS, Mr.
GLADSTONE, Mr. SHEIL, Sir R. PEEL, and Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, in speeches for which we must refer the
reader to our Parliamentary report, the House
divided; and no less a majority than 190 affirmed
the second reading of the Bill ; a majority involving
the most signal homage to really sound and liberal
principles, in dealing with questions deeply interest-
ing to the friends of civil and religious liberty,
which we have yet bad to record of the session
of 1844. .

The Sugar Duties Bill was read a second time :
and other business having been dispatched, the House
adjourned.

Those who have seen—as we have often seen, and
experienced the greatest delight from the spectacle—
scores of operatives, with their wives and children,
flushed with the unaccustomed glow of health, stroll-
ing, on serene summer or autumn evenings, over the
breezy uplands of. Hampstead Heath, or bivouacking
in groups in in its more shady and sequestered nooks,.
indulging in a homely pic-nic—a rare enjoyment,
snatched with difficulty from amidst toil, anxiety, and
privations of all sorts, looked forward to with pleasure,
and remembered with equal delight ;—those, we say,
who have ever chanced to witness this grati-
fying spectacle, will participate with us in
rejoicing that
,the Bill for inclosing this healthy
and picturesque heath, from which the poor
London artisan derives almost his only notions of the
country, has been thrown out by the House of Lords,
by a majority which must convince Sir Tnomas
Wiesox, pertinacious as he is, that his favourite
scheme of inclosure is not very likely to be speedily
carried into execution. For one year at least—and
most probably for man, years to„conie—Hanapstead
is safe from the visitation of the architect, with his
dandy designs of new-:Cockney villas, and his atten-
dant posse of masons.and. hodm.en, whose arrival in
any particular suburban locality never fails to be a
legitimate source of jealousy and annoyance to the
inhabitants, associated, as it is, in their minds,
with ideas of smoke; confinement, and the deprivation
of that fresh air to which. they have. been habituated.
The continuous and systematic spread of brick-and-
mortar is one of the greatest nuisances of the metro-
polis. There seems-positively to be no end to the in-
vasions of the builder. He is here, there, and every-
where, just as though he were endowed with übi-
quity. Not a year passes but London stretches
itself in every direction at least half a mile further
into the country. Where, but a few months since,
you saw a green field bordered with hedges, alive
with the merry music of birds, played over, as if in
very fondness, by the cool winds of Heaven, and
affording pasturage for a few sheep or cows—
those picturesque additions to the living beauty
orlandscape scenery—you now see nothing but long,
dirty rows of new-made, straw-cevered bricks, or
skeletons of buildings run up in haste, and in reck-
less violation of all the rules of architecture. To
the rich man these sudden, tasteless conversions of
country into town are matters of the most perfect in-
difference, for he can at any time mount his horse or
drive off in his carriage a dozen miles or so, away
from the stir and crowd and close atmosphere of the
metropolis; but the poor man—much as he needs it
—has no such resource ; he is necessarily confined
within a limited distance ; he can hurry off to sniff a
mmouthfuland ofn o fresh
furtherair ,
; just
consequently afa
r as
hi
his
theleg s
more
can h
carrytis
vast over-grown capital of ours extends itself,
the fewer are his chances of • enjoying, when his day's
toil is at an end, the enviable
luxury of a quiet
evening stroll into the country. In fact, the
London artizan has now no country left him, with
the exception, perhaps, of Hampstead, and one or
two meagre sylvan symptoms which still continue to
exist in the neighbourhood of Holloway. To be
sure, he is going to be compensated for this loss of a
rural walk by a park, which is to be manufactured
for his express accommodation at the East end of the
metropolis ; but Heaven only knows when this
long-talked-of park will be completed. If we
may judge from present indications, we should be
strorigii tempted to say that it would not he ready

for his reception till Sir JAMES GRAHAM obtains the
Lord-Lieutenancy of Cumberland, and Dr. PHILL-
POTTS the rich rectory of Stanhope. But to return
to the subject with which we set out—the at-
tempted inclosure of Hampstead Heath. Most
sincerely do we rejoice that &is ungenerous
scheme has been defeated ; and not less
delighted are we with the prompt and decided manner
in which it was opposed in the House of Lords. The
spirit which dictated this opposition was of the
kindliest and most thoroughly English character;
their Lordships saw at a glance the cruelty of the
case—that it was a matter of deep interest to vast
masses of the poorer classes of the community,
who, if shut out from their favourite heath—
as they most certainly would have been, had
Sir THOMAS WILSON'S Bill passed—would, almost
as a matter of necessity, have been compelled to spend
their evenings in the beer-shop or the gin-palace;—
their Lordships, we repeat, saw at once the hardship
and injustice of the case, and met it accordingly in
such a manner as will, we trust, effectually discou-
rage all further attempts at encroachment, on the
part of the lord of the manor.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 30th ult.
The reports of the unsatisfactory state of the health
of the young QUEEN are on the increase. It is stated
that the indisposition, on account of which she has
gone to the baths of Caldes, is of a serious, not to say
of an alarming, character.
The Madrid Gazette contains a dispatch of General
NARVAEZ, dated the 27th ult., mentioning that their
MAJESTIES and the INFANTA continued to enjoy ex-
cellent health. They were to embark at four o'clock
in the morning of the 29th for Tarragona, in the
Isabel steamer, and the persons attached to the house-
hold were to follow in the Ville de Madrid. The
Eco del Comercio states that General NARVAEZ,
who took off with him 12,000,000 reals, advanced by
the bank of San Fernando, to defray the expenses of
the journey of the Royal Family, had written to the
Minister of Finance for 20,000,000 more, and com-
plains of the manner in which such large sums are
drawn from the Treasury for this purpose.
The 'Three per Cents. were done at 274 for cash,
and 281 at 60 days; the Five per Cents., at 20} at
60 days ; the Floating Debt, at 46i at 60 days ; the
Coupons at 24 9-16 at 60 days; and the Debt with•
out interest at 6 for cash.

The Paris journals of Wednesday have been re-
ceived,-but they are rather bare of political intelli-
gence of interest. Both Chambers met on Tuesday.
In the Deputies, the Supplementary Credits Bill was
adopted by 163 votes to 67. The sitting was entirely
taken up with the question of voting a grant of money
to the proprietors of posting-houses to enable them
to keep up their establishments by the side of the
railroad lines. The Chamber decided against grant-
ing any sum of money whatever, thinking that such a
course would only be a temporary expedient, which
ought to be discountenanced, when it was the duty of
the Government to bring in a large and definitive
measure on the subject. It would seem by this, that
the system which has so long existed in France of
bolstering up decaying trades, and unremunerative
speculations by Government grants, is on the decline.
Had the House of Commons been asked to vote corn-
pens:Alen money to the inns and posting houses that
have lost their business here by the extension of rail-
way ines, the item would not have been the smallest
figure in the miscellaneous estimates.
In. the opinion of a great many persons in Paris,
the last intelligence from Algeria is of a serious na-
ture. An engagement is daily expected between the
French in the neighbourhood of Tlemcen and the
Arabs, supported by a large body of Moors. It is
probable that the debate now expected in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on an extraordinary credit for the
service of Algeria, will elicit some information on
this subject.
The following letter from Algiers in a Toulon
paper, is the last intelligence received:—
" The arrival of a courier from. the west gave rise to extra-
ordinary reports. here. It was said that the Emperor of Mo-
rocco bad just sent considerable. reinforcements to Abd-el-
Kader, who was thus placed in a condition to renew the war.
These reports soon assumed a certain consistency, when it
was understood that all the disposable troops of Oran, Mosta-
ganem, and Mascara, had received orders to join General La-
moriciere at his camp at Lamargnia, near the frontiers of
Morocco ; and that, in addition, the 6th regiment of Light
Infantry, in garrison at Orleanville and Tense, had also set
out in the direction of Tlemcen."

Spanish politics occupy quite as much space in the
Paris papers as topics of home interest. The Siècle
asserts that negotiations are going on with the sanc-
tion of England and France for the marriage of the
QUEEN of SPAIN to the son of Don CARLOS. Many
of those who are best informed as to 'the state of
Spanish parties state, that, though the union may be
effected, it would not have the effect of healing the
wounds, and reconciling the deadly enmities created
by so many years of civil war. The Christinos and
Carlists would never amalgamate for any course of
political action, and the Carlists, deserted by their
chief, would probably form a party in the State,
active and unscrupulous enough to disturb, if not
strong enough to acquire, the preponderance.

The Univers announces that an address to Mr.
O'CoNNzLL is lying for signature at its office, and
calls upon the Catholics of France to affix their
names to it.

By a Royal Ordonnance of the 2d inst., Rear-
Admiral LASUSSE has been promoted to the rank of
Vice-Admiral, vice LA.LANDE,. deceased; and Captain
CECILLB, commanding the Indo-Chinese station, has
been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, vice
LASUSSE, prothotcd.
Accounts from Algiers state that Marshal BuGRAITD
had arrived at Algiers on the 30th ult., and was to
start for Oran on the 31st, to take the command of
the troops to be employed against Morocco.
The Menager of Tuesday has the following :—,
"The King, wishing to give to the manufacturers of France
a testimony of the gratification which he has felt on viewing
the magnificent exhibition of the various products of their
genius and industry, and of .his high appreciation of the sen-
timents eviuced towards him during his visits to the Champs
Elysees, has resolved to give a representation at the theatre
of the Palace at Versailles to the central jury, and as many of
the exhibitors as the theatre will hold. The day is fixed for
Satutday next. The Intendant-General of the Civil List has
received orders to send out the invitations, which must neces-
sarily be limited, and particularly as his Majesty, to make
the assemblage the more complete and dignified, includes the
members of the two Chambers. On that day no person will
be admitted into the galleries of Versailles, except those who
have had tickets sent expressly to them."

The Three per Cents. closed on Wednesday at 84f.
50c.; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 40c.; Spanish
Actives,.3ll; Spanish Three per Cents., 35i.

FAILURE or THE ROMFORD BANS.—We regret to
announce the failure of the bank of Messrs. Johnson
and Co., of Romford, which yesterday suspended its
payments. It was an of,A4. blisb moot of many years
standing, anti ft considerable amount of circula-
tion ih its own notes. We do not apprehend that any
very great sum was issued beyond the county of
Essex, but to the farmers and graziers of th§ district,
for which Romford market forms the chief place of
sale and purchase, great loss and annoyance will be
the result. The market day at Romford is Wedhei-
day, and the day before its stoppage the bank was
open, receiving and issuing as usual. Many cases of great
hardship upon drovers and others, who on 'Wednesday
' last sold cattle and farm produce, for which they took the
notes of the Romford Bank, have reached us.
Deposits made by farmers fur lent, and amounts left
by auctioneers and land-agents in the bank merely
for a short time, are among the causes of loss, This

QUEEN'S BENCII.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
EX PARTE JOHN conrus.

Mr. G-u-N
NTII C applied for a writ of habeas corpus directed
to the keeper of Huntingdon gaol, ordering him to bring up
the body of John Fuller, a prisoner in his custody, in order
that the cause of his committal might be inquired
into. The prisoner had been committed under
.the
provisions of the 11th George 11. for removing goods, in
order to prevent his landlord distraining upon them for rent,
but the order of cenunittal contained as many defects as
could possibly be crowded into such a space. The
Act directed that the summons should be granted
by two justices, and the matter heard and the
order made by the said justices. In this case the sum-
mons had been granted, and the order made by different
justices. That objection alone was fatal ; but there
was another objection. The Act directed that the justice
should reside near the place from whence the goods
were removed; in this instance the order set forth that the
justices resided near the place to where the goods had been
removed. The order was also stated to be made at St. Ives,
without stating that St. Ives was in the county of Huntingdon.
• Lord DENMAN—Tair the writ.—Application granted.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Ann Brady, a young woman, suffering from a severe
opthalmic disease, and who, from her turbulent conduct, en-
dures at least six months' imprisonment out of the twelve,
was again charged with drunken and disorderly behaviour,
and making use of obscene language in the public street.
Police-constable, No. 185 of the C division, stated that
about twelve o'clock, as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he
saw the prisoner accost and forcibly detain several gentlemen,
at the same time begging of them. He remonstrated with
her, knowing that she had only been discharged from prison
that morning, but she disregarded what he said, and made
use of very disgusting language.
Mr. HARDWICKE—Why will you persist in such conduct ?
It is very painful to us to be obliged so continually to punish
you. Prisoner (crying)—What can Ido ; you give me no
chance. I was only discharged from gaol yesterday morn-
ing, after an imprisonment of six months. I have been so
continually in prison, and the punishment is so severe, that if
on the moment of coining out, I get half-a-pint of beer or a
glass of that infernal gin, it drives me mad ; and so sure as
I come out of prison in the morning, I
~am back again there
at night.
Mr. HARDIVICKE—YOU are committed for a month.
Prisoner (wringing her hands)—For God's sake, don't
send me back to that horrible place. Give nie a chance of
reclaiming myself. I promise that I will never offend again.
Mr. HAnDwickic—The making use of obscene language we
never look over.
The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler to the lock-
up cells.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
Susan Smith, a servant girl, with Mr. Swaine, draper, of 40,
Chapel-street, Edgeware• road, was placed at tie bar charged
with felony.
The complainant stated that for a considerable time back
he had suspicions that some of his servants were dishonest,
and for the purpose of setting those suspicions at rest,
he, with the consent of those under his roof, deter-
mined to have their boxes searched. The prisoner
exhibited considerable reluctance to, submit to this
test, but at last consented, and there were found in her box
several duplicates of articles stolen, and property belonging
to complainant. She was given into custody. A. number of
pawnbrokers' assistants were in Court, and produced pro-
perty pledged at their masters, which was identified by Mr.
Swaine as his.

The prisoner, who cried bitterly, was fully committed for
trial.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The supply of English Wheat on offer was but limited, yet
the demand for most descriptions of that article was in a very
sluggish state, at Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat,
both for and in bond, met a slow inquiry, at barely late rates.
Superfine Malt was in active demand, but other qualities were
heavy. In consequence of the fine growing showers, spring
Corn of all kinds was dull; yet we can notice no alteration in
value. Flour was a dull sale, at late rates.

We have been furnished by Mr. Christophers with the
report of the Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society, re-
ceived to-day, and from which we make the following ex-
tracts

•" The Committee have the satisfaction of stating that it
appears, from an extract from the books of the Custom-house,
that the comparative quantity of wool exported from the
colony has been, during the year 1842, 1,436,149.1b5., and in
1843, 1,754,757 lbs., being an increase of 318,6081b5. ; the
value of last year's export, taken at an average price of one
shilling per lb., would amount to 87,7371. 17s. Od.

this colony for the years 1842 and 1843 :-

"Since the last annual meeting, some correspondence has
taken place between the Committee and the colonial Go-
vernment, on the subject of the introduction, of emigrants
from Great Britain, as labourers for agricultural and other
purpo'ses. It was proposed that measures should be adopted
for providing for the expense of the passage of juvenile emi-
granti and their parents; and that by the payment of a cer-
tain sum by the master for the indenture of each ap-
prentice the necessary funds might be obtained. The
passage money was estimated at 121. sterling for
each emigrant, but if conducted on an extensive scale, it
was believed that • 10/. sterling might be the average; and
on this subject the Secretary to Government has stated by
letter of the 2d June, 1843, that if the expense cannot be
reduced below 121.,—' His. Excellency, being desirous of pro-
moting emigration, hopes the difference might be obtained
by loCal assessment in the colony, a measure ho, would be
happy to originate in the Legislative Council, if desired by the
community, and it can be effected, which he believes it can
be, without detriment to, or charge upon the colonial revenue,
until the debt . is liquidated, to which the surplus of the
revenue must be steadily applied.' "
Accounts of February 22 from Sydney, state that the
colony was rather improving, and that the renewal of immi-
gration was expected to benefit it. At Port Philip also
Tallow melting, meat salting, &c., were actively occupying
the attention of the settlers.

We do not learn that the failure of, Johnson and Co., the
private bankers of Romford, is in itself a serious one, al-
though likely to prove very injurious to the locality where
its notes mostly circulated.
The English Stocks are still rather flat this morning, and
Lhere Is not much doing. Consols realise 98 to 98i for the
Account. Exchequer bills are 71s. to 735. premium. Reduced
Three-and-a-Half•per Cents. 102* to 101; ; and the Three
per Cents. 98; to 9911. Bank Stock obtains the improved
quotations of 199 to 200. India Stock for special transfer has
been at 289.

The proceedings of M. Mon at Madrid, if we are to credit
all that is stated of him, are not likely to raise the confidence
of thOse who dabble• in Peninsular investments, and
the Foreign Market has presented a more complete blank
than we remember for a long time past to have seen. The
only bargains in Spanish have been in the Three per Cents.
at 344, and the Passive at ; Colombian ex Venezuela have
realised l3i; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
steady at 61$ to 6li ; and the Five per. Cents. at 1001.
There is more activity in Railway Shares, aid we quote
them generally at a slight rally upon yesterday's depressed
prices. There is still, however, a want of buoyancy m the
Birmingham. French shares are very firm, but not so brisk
as our own. Mines are quiet, as well as Banks.
