THE SUN,-LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1845.

This proposition. like the others, was carried unanimously.
A BoNnitoLnEa inquired what was the amount in the hands
of Messrs. de Lizardi ?

was economical—and no more than what was absolutely
necessary for the etigencies of the case. The provisions
of the Bill he stated so far back a 3 last session, and, on,
that occasion, his Right Hon. Friend the Secretar}• for
the Home Department had prevailed upon him to under-
take the preparation and bringing in of the Bill. The
Right Hon. Gentleman stated that Government would
render him every assistance, if they approved of the
Bill. The measure had now been b.-fore Govern-
ment for some time, before the Poor-law Commissioners,
and various other parties, named by the Government,
who had all sanctioned it, and he was now only acting
for and as the mouth-peace of the Government, in pro-
pounding their Bills. He, therefore, intreated the Hon.
Member to allow him to go into Committee, when he
had no doubt he should be able to dispel all his objec-
tion to the measure ; also out of kindness to the unfor-
tunate individuals for whose accommodation the pro-
visions of the Bill were intended.
Mr. F. BARING hoped that his Noble Friend would
allow the report to he brought up. That did not bind
the House to enter into any discussion on th, subject.
All that would be required would be to bring lip the
resolution and have it read, and then the House could
enter upon the consideration or the whole Bill. He
hoped his Noble Friend would not stand on a point of
form.

The CHAIRMAN could not be positive but, he believed
60,0001. or 70,0001. sterlng. The dividends due in April an,:
October were unpaid. It this state of things continued the
arrears would be greatly augmented, and all the advantages
which the bondholders expected to derive by surrendering two
years' interest, would Lot be realised. Mr. Murphy, the
Mexican Minister, had applied to Messrs. Lizardi with no better
effect than the bondholders. He understood that 70,01 0 doliars
came over by the last packet.
Mr. LINDO considered that the exact amount which Messrs.
Lizardi had in their possession belonging to the bondholders
might be easily ascertained by reference to documents and to
the names of packets which had arrived since the last dividend
was paid.
The CHAIRMAN said their present object was not so much
to ascertain the exact amount of money in their hands as to
enforce its payment.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was proposed and car-
ried unanimously.
In returning thanks, the CHAIRMAN said both himself and
the Committee, whj had acted gratuitously, and should continue
to do so, would use every exertion in their poser to promote
the interests of the bondholders.
The meeting then separated.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco before the full Court.)
DOUEL b. GEVE.

Mr. MILNER GIBSON briefly supported the motion
of the Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Dune ,mbe).
He could not see any difficulty that would arise frcw
taking such a course.
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON suggested th it they
should be allowed to proceed with the Bill as far as the
Committee, and that any objections might as well be
made in Committee. Ile begged that the Hon. Member
would not press his motion.
Mr. V. SMITH was of opinion thlt any objections
might be urged in Committee.
After a few words from Mr. CARDWELL,
Mr. CHRISTIE said he hoped that under all the cir-
cumstances his 'Honourable Friend would withdraw his
opposition to the further progress of the Bill.
Mr. DUNCOMBE said he would not %ithdraw his
opposition. He wished the Bill postponed till next ses-
sion, and if this wsue not done he would divide the
lie use on every clause. He hal a duty to perform to the
unß)rtunate creatures who were the:objects of this Bill, ,
and he was determined to persevere in his motion of
rostpon, me►.t. • I

This was a motion for a new trial, upon which a conditional rule
had been obtained. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., appeared to show cause
why the rule should be discharged ; and the Court, having heard
counsel on both aides, decided upon granting the motion.

Strangers were ordered to withdraw.
The House then divided, when there appnred—
For Mr. Buncombe's motion
Against it
Majority —l)2
The report was then received.
PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE.
On the question, that the 'other orders cf the day be
proceeded with,

- Mr. DIVETT rose, and said he had to prey nt a pe-
tn ion of the most important kind as respected the pri.
vile ges of that House. It was flora a gentleman
named Barrett, formerly a Member of the House,
who stated that last session he was summoned
as witness on the Committee of Inquiry into the Medical
Bill, at which the lion. and Noble Member for Dorset
shire presided. In consequence of the evidence which
he had then given, he was subsequently served with
notice that an action would be brought against him,
and a declaration filed ou the 261 of June stated that
the cause of action was for giving false evidence and
libelling the character of the plaintiff. This Mr. Barrett
denied, affirming that he had stated nothing but what
was in strict conformity with the truth, and
to that avowal he (Mr. Divett) after the most careful
examination into the case believed was strictly correct.
The petitioner, after complaining of the expense and
inconvenience to which this action would subject him,
prayed the protection of the House against it. He (Mr.
D.) thought that if they were not prepared to accede to
the prayer of the petition, they would be abrogating their
right—(Hear, hear)—and considered the subject mate-
rially effected the privilege of the House. The de-
claration required Mr. Barrett to pita I on Friday
next, and it was, therefore, necessary for some specific
resolution to be adopted without delay. The Hon.
Member concluded that ti.e peti:ion be read
by the clerk at the table, and pointed
immediately with the vote,-, intimating his intention of
following the matter up to-morrow by a substantive
motion.

The petition was then laid on the table, and ordered
to be pr►nted with the votes, but its reading at the table
dispensed with.
FIELDS GARDENS BILL.
Mr. W. COWPER presented a petition in favour of
this Bill from the inhabitants of Kettering.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
On the clause which provides that three rate-payers
in a parish may call a meeting on the subject of allotting
land tor gardens,
Mr. CURTEIS moved that the number of rate-payers
should be six.

Mr. ROEBUCK took that opportunity of inquiring of
the Right lion. Gentleman the Secretary for the Home
Department whether this Bill, if carried, would not su-
pers,!de the existing poor-law. Ile would also ask the
Right Hon. Gentleman if this Bill was in accordance
with the views of the Right Ibn. Gentleman, and whe-
ther he was prepared to give the sanction of the Govern-
ment to it.

Sir J. GRAHAM said the Hon. and Learned Gentle-
man was probably aware that since the last discussion
on this Bill it had been re-committed, and ad the clauses
relating to the poor-law had been withdrawn.
To the 19th clause he had several objections, but he had
reason to believe that the Hon. Gentleman who had in-
troduced the Bill, was willing to consent to the omission
of that clause. if he did consent to the omission of
that clause, then his (Sir James Graham's) insu-
perable objections to the measure would be removed
His mind, however, was undecided as to the practical
utility of the Bill. Still, although he doubted whether
any practical advantage could arise from the Bill, he had
no objection to give it his support.
Mr. DARBY hoped the lion. Gentleman would omit
the clause.

Mr. MILNER GIBSON suspected that the Right
Hon. Gentleman was practising a species of cruelty to.
wards his lion. Friend the Member for Hertford. The
Pill would be allowed to pass on to the close of the
session, and would then be killed dead by a count.
He would tell his Hon. Friend candidly that he looked
upon this Bill as a speCies of romance—there was nothing
sound or real about it. It was not calculate d to do good.
The opinion of the West men in the country were op-
posed both to the principles and details of the measure,
and it was trifling with the time of the House to proceed
with it any further.—(Hear, hear.) If his lion. Friend
the Member for Bath would move that the Chairman do
report spregress and ask leave to sit again this day six
months, he (Mr. 'M. Gibson) would supi.ort the motion.
Mr. COWPER expressed his readiness to abandon
the 19th clause on the intimation which he had received
from the Right Hon. Gentleman. The object of the
Bill was to provide allotments of ground for the labour.
ing man to cultivate as small gardens, so that he might
have the benefit to be derived from their cultivation.
The Hon. Member for Manchesterhad designated the Bill i s
rather romantic than practicable. No doubt the measure,
was a mere romance to him, but not so to the poor man
The working classes were those who chiefly benefit by the
Bill. In many parts of Leiceatershire and Northampton-
shire were the poor were in the habit of employing their
leisure time cultivating gardens, such a measure as the
one proposed would be of vast benefit to them. He should
now be very anxious to enter generally on the subject of
allotments. He believed that all persons who were
practically acquainted with the subject were in favour of
garden allotments, and the objections of those who were
against allotments were to be ascribed entirely to their
ignorance of their practical working and effects. He
believed that all the labeuring classes in different parts
of the country would be benefited by the measure.
Mr. ROEBUCK complained that the Bill before the
House would have an injurious effect upon the condition
of the classes.—(Hear, hear.) It was
advantage of the working classes of England,
with other countries, to be free to serve
inthe
peculiar

looked upon this measure as a roundabout
process to substitute payment in kind for paymert in

man to gf t wages, or was he to use the
fringes of his time in these m serahle patches
of gardens to eke out his wages ? That was
the real question. lie had eo objection to the work-
ing men having gardens to cultivate, but he was
of using these gardens us a substitute for wages.
i

.y
lion. and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving
tthuan'etitthe Chairman do leave-the-Chair.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said that the Bill was
a movement in 'the right direction, giving the labourer
some portion of inclereedence ; and raising him
from the condition in which he was entirely
dependant upon the pittance which the capitalist

TUESDAY NIGIiT'S GAZETTE.

CRICKET.

THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND v. TILE GENTLEMEN

OF KENT.
The match was resumed yesterday at " Lord's," but the day from
its commencement was anything but one for cricket. Fine play,
in the strict sense of the word, was out of the question, not but
what there was some magnificent hitting in the course of the game
by Mr. Seddon, Mr. W. Nicholson, and Sir F. Bathurst on the
part of England ; and by the Messrs. Banks, Mr. Felix, Mr. Whit.
taker, and Captain Wood, of Kent ; but whilst the rain, which
had f.dlen in torrents until nearly twelve o'clock, had made the
ground far worse than it was on Monday, there was in addition a
hurricane of wind blowing so as to render it a matter of the
greatest difficulty for Sir F. Bathurst even occasionally to run up
and deliver the ball against it. The consequence was that there
was a vast number of beautiful hits which, under a ditTerenrstate
of things, would not in all probability have been made; these,
however, elicited repeated demonstrations of applause from every
part of the field. The batting of the Messrs. Banks especially was
admirable. Mr. Felix is himself alone, and all who have ever
seen him play will easily conjecture that he could not have contri-
buted 47 runs to the score without the exhibition of ranch bril.
liant hitting. We have, however, seen him hit better, and with
much less " putting up.' Upon the present occasion, too, he was
extremely fortunate in placing his balls. He was eventually bowled
by a splendid ball from Mr. Yonge, who, it should be mentioned,
bowled in as fine a style as has this year been seen at Lord's, The
heaviness of the ground, however, as in the cases of Sir F. Bathurst,
Mr. Craven. and Captain Lautour, all of whom bowled excellently,
took the " devil" out of the ball, and made it ineffective. It,
nevertheless, with all, demanded great steadiness of play to keep it
out of the wicket.

IRELAND.

England headed Kent in the first innings by 22 runs. Kent
went in for their second hands, and a reference to the score will
inform our readers of the state of the match when " time" was
called:—

DUBLIN, JUNE 30.—There are no accounts of further serious
outrages in the disturbed districts. Reinforcements of military
continued to arrive. The excitement in Cavan was gradually sub-
siding, and it is likely that the county meeting, to be held on Wed-
nesday, will produce a very salutary effect on the state of the dis-
trict. The Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr. Browne, and several of
the clergy of the diocese are to attend the meeting. Lord Farnham
is to submit the reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the address of the
Magistrates of Cavan.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day, Sir
Simon Bradstreet, Bart., in the chair.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL having announced the receipt of 291. from
Ardagh, proceeded to advert to the late murder in the county of
Cavan, and expressed his conviction that it was the duty
.of every
individual to use his best exertions to hunt out the perpetrators of
that atrocious deed. On concluding his observations, the Hon.
Gentleman read a letter from Mr. O'Connell to Martin Crean,
Esq , dated London, June 26, announcing that he should not be
able to attend the meeting, as he considered it incumbent on him
is attend the Committee on the Irish Academical Bill. He thus
concludes his letter :

" Can there be found one single rational beingin Ireland to deny
that there is but one remedy, and that only to be found in the re-
storation of our Irish Parliament. No man can be loyal to the
Monarch, or attached to the connexion with Great Britain, who
does not see that the only means of preserving the connexion be-
tween the two countries is by the restoration of the Irish Parlia-
ment.

" I return, therefore, to Ireland, more deeply convinced than
ever of the necessity of the repeal of the union. I return to that
struggle with unabated ardour and continuing perseverance—to
seek for it by legal, peaceable and constitutional means, and none
other. But to seek for it with a determination and continuousness
that before long must ensure success.
"HURRAH, THEN, FOR TRU REPEAL!
lh are the honour to be, your very faithful servant,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."
Captain BRODERICK moved the adoption of a petition to Par.
liament on the subject of the relations between landlord and tenant.
The document detailed several cases of oppression which occurred
on the estate of J. Kavanagh, Esq., in the county Carlow, and
urged the equity of giving tenants compensation not only for
future improvements, but also for those which have been already
made.

Mr. M. O'CowNzEL called the attention of the meeting to the
attack which Mr. Roebuck had made on the repeal Members in his
place in Parliament, and observed that "the man who lives in glass
houses should not throw stones."

Mr. DOHENT moved the adoption of the address of the Associa-
tion to Mr. Smith O'Brien, for the admirable manner in which he
repelled the attack made upon him by Mr. Rnebuck.
Mr. GaArrets, in a vigorous address, seconded its adoption.
Atter the disposal of some routine business,
Mr. O'ComsELL announced the rent for the week to be
3821. its. 3d.

THE ARMY.
The first division (two companies) of the 61st Regiment, under
the command of Major Jones, embarked on Friday, at Core, on
board the Duke of Bedford, East Indiaman, for Calcutta. The 61st
is the first corps which ever left the Cove of Cork direct for India,
the usual port of embarkation being Gravesend. The second divi-
sion will embark on Tuesday, on board the Weatminater, and the
head-quarters on Monday, on board the Alfred, one of the finest
ships ever seen in Cove harbour.

The 66th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel
Dames, march from Birr for Cork, June 26, and arrive at Cork
July 4, to embark on board her Majesty's troop-ship Resistance for
conveyance to Gibraltar,

PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 18i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 61 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
95 671, it follows that gold is 0.25 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17.9, 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 94; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 11k, it follows that gold is 0.79 per cent.
dearer in London tnan in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 1094 per cent. ; and the
par of exchange between England and America being
109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.18 per
cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New
York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must
be added to the above diflerence.

WILFUL AND MALICIOUS ACT ON THE GREAT
W ESTER& RAILWAY.—A most wicked attempt to injure the pas.
sengers travelling in one of the first-class carriages of the train
which left Paddington yesterday at noon, was made by some la.
bourers working on the line between West Drayton and Slough.
When the train arrived at Langley, close to the spot were the
accident occurred by the upsetting of the carriages a fortnight ago,
a white earthen pint pot was thrown at the door window of the
carriage, the train proceeding at the time at the rate of between
thirty and fcrty miles an hour. The pot struck against the side
of the window, and was in an instant dashed into fifty pieces, the
broken fragments eying into the faces of the passengers, but for.
tunately without any of them sustaining any serious injuries. Mr.
John Seeker, the town clerk of Windsor, received a violent blow
on the temple, and another gentleman and two ladies were severely
struck on the head and face. Upon the arrival of the train at
Slough, information of the outrage was given to Mr. Howell, the
superintendent at that station, who lost no time in instituting the
necessary inquiries to discover the guilty party. Upon his name
being ascertained he will be prosecuted by the Company under
Lord Seymour's Act.
