SPRING AND CARTER.

This fight came eery properly second. It never was consi-
dered any thing like a match ; and the best criterion was
the betting 3 to I, with those who werejiash, that heavy odds
ought to be taken. The ring was in uproar in the two or
three first rou►lds of this great girl fight; foi Carter, who dis-
played so much skill in hanging Oliver on the Carlisle ropes,
when he was pronounced Champion. of England by the sages of
the North, got Spring in the same condition, and refused to
act unmercifully, but his Lancashire friends said he had much
fallen off when he got Spring there. A worse fight has not
been seen fur many years. Spring won it in one hour and
three quarters, to the mortification of the backers of this self-
elected Champion. The amateurs in general seemed to re-
lish blood, but Carter was too weak to treat them with it.
There was very little money betted on this fight in London.

of Derby ; from Tavistock by the Duke of Bed-
ford ; against theta from the Dean and Clergy of

Factories of Manchester and Preston, by the Earl
of Derby ; and against the Insolvent Acr, from
St. Burolph without Ahlgate, by the Earl of
Shaftesbury.—Ordered to lie upon the table.
Respecting the- petition from the Dean and
Clergy of Bristol,

The Earl of CALM/MVOS' expressed his disap-
probation of the conduct of the Clergy 111 peti-
tioning against the Claims of the Roman Catho-
lics, it being, in his opinion, an attempt, on the
part of the Clergy of the Chnrch of England,
who hall no civil interest iii the question, to call
down persecution upon the' heads of the flocks
of other PastotS, and to throw themselves in the
way of the grant of toleration to other religious
perstiaions,'

Lrnd KENYON contended, that in this 'ease
there•was no.question about toleration ; and that
if the Clergy of the Church of England Were,
like himself, convinced that the Constitution was
essentiallyTrotestant, and that the existence of
the Protestant Establishment depended upon the
Constitution being administered by Protestant
Legislators, it was not only their right, hot'their
duty, to petition the Legislature against the' ad-
mission of Roman Catholics to the privileges
which they claimed.

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE, after a few words
in a low tone- of voice, which could not be dis-
tinctly heard, postponed till to-morrow the pre-
sentment of the petitions of the Roman Catholics
of Ireland.

The Life Annuities Bill was read a second time,
and committed for to-morrow.

The Quarter Sessions Division Bill was, on the
motion of the Marquess of LANSDOWNB, read a
third time and passed.

Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TRURO ELECTION.
The following is the reduced list on the Ballot
or trying the merits of the Truro Election Peti-

ion :

Sir J. Coffin, R. Price, J. M. Lloyd, W. A. Montague, H.
Bruen, G. M. Grant, C. Palmer, E. Turton, J. Gordon, W.
T. Robarts, R. H. Davis, Sir E. Buller, W. H. kVbithread,
W. Burrell, and G. Bankes, Esqrs.
Mr. WYNN withdrew the notice of motion he had given to
deter the consideration of the Fowey Election Petition from
Thursday next, to Tuesday, 11th of May; and the Inver-
keithing and Bossing Election Petitions to subsequent days,
on the ground that the voluntary attendance of NI em-
bers, after four hundred bad already served on Select Com-
mittees, which he was happy to say, rendered the postpone-
ment unnecessary.

MARY-LE-BONNE WATER WORKS BILL.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR moved the second reading of the Nlary-
le-bonne Water Worls Bill.
Mr. PETER. MOORE objected to the measure, particu-
larly to the stretch of power which it was intended to
grant to the Select Vestry of that parish. He moved, as au
amembnent, that the Bill be read a second time that day six
months.

Mr. TAYLOR defended the measure, and trusted that be
should obtain in the end that security forlhe public, that if
the rates Were not reduced, at least they should not be in-
creased above their present amount.
Mr. RICARDO disapproved of the Bill, and thought
abuse must he the result of giving such powers to a Select
Vestry.

Mr. HUME supported the measure, save that part which
confided the super►ntendauce to a Select Vestry.
Mr. H. SUMNER thought if such a power should be given
to any Vestry, it might with peculiar safety be given to the
Vestry of Mary-le-bonne, who managed the interests of that
pa►ish with pecular attention. As to the Water Work Com-
panics, they had most abo►uinably abused their contracts with
the public.

Mr. WRQrfESLEY hoped the Bill would be suffered
to go into a Committee, where its defects could be sup.

Sir G. HARVEY deprecated the granting of such extraor-
dinary powers to a Vestry.
Mr. SUMNER wished the HonOurable Gentleman would
withdraw his Amendment to read the Bill a second time
on that day six Months, in which case he would himself
more an Amendment to read it a second time on that day
fortnight.

Mr-P. MOORE acquiesced in this suggestion, which was
heartily seconded by Mr. BYNG, and agreed to by Mr. M. A.
TAYLOR. The original amendment was accordingly with-
drawn, and the Bill was ordered to be read a second time on
that day fortnight.

ASSESSED TAXES.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY observed, that he had given notice of
a motion to-morrow respecting the Assessed Taxes, which,
however, he was induced to withdraw, in consequence of a
request made to him by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite,
who told him that it was his intention himself to submit to
the consideration of the House a measure founded on similar
principles.—Coquestionably any proposition of such a na-
ture nnist mite with a much better grace from the Right
Hon. Gentleman than from himself ; at the same time it was
but candid to state, that unless a considerable alteration were
made in the plan which the Right Hon. Gentleman had last
night shown him, it could nut receive his sanction.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT.
Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the Churchwardens
and Overseers of the parish of St. Botolph, against the In-
