PETITIONS.

The. Earl of DERBY pre ented a petition from the Roman Ca-
tho?ics of Liverpool, praying for total emancipation. . Laid on the
table.

The Bishop of Fluters presented a petition from the Rotor of
Dunmara, in the Diocese of Dromore, complaining that he was
obliged to pay rent for a certain-portion of town land which had
been appropriated during a former rebellion, and which was now
in the hands of a Noble Lord.

After sonic observations from Viscount Curnzts, Lord KING,
and the Loan CHANCELLOR, who said that the Petitioner 'had
his remedy at law,
The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved that the petition 'be re•
jected, as if it were received, their Lordships' table would be
covered with petitions disgraceful to themselves, which would ro-
quire them to do what was the business of the Courts of Law.
The Marquis of -LANSDOWN said, that several petitions of
that hind- bad Van put into his hands every season, but that he
had refus.d to present them.
The question was then put, and the petition was rejected.
1.00 CALTIEOILPE presented a pitition from the Owners and
Occupiers of Land, on. the Highgate and Hampstead Roads,
against the Metropolitin Trust Bill.--Lain on the table, after a
few observations from Lords DACILZ, Dc Curronn, and LONS-
DALY. . •

Lord J. RUSSELL presented a Petition from the Protestant
Dissenters of London and Westminster, praying for etnancipatiou
from the civil disabilities under which they now laboured:
Mr. W. SMITH supported the prayer of the petition. The
petitioners, (more especially as regarded that portion of them
called Methodists) had been labouring under those oppressive
elactments for more than one hundred years; during 90 of which
they bad been exerting themselves to obtain what they now sought
for. During the last few years they had refrained from any
ressing application to the Legislature, in consequence of their
being aware of the attention the House was obliged to bestow
on the Catholic petitions which were so constantly laid before
them.
The LORD ADVOCATE moved for several returns relative to the
state of Prisons in Scotland.—Orderthi.

Mr. TIOBROUSE presented a petition from a society called the
" Social Brothers," praying that the Statutes respecting Benefit
Societies instead of being repcaltd might be made more binding.—

• DISH'S FAREWELL! ! !—TO TOE PUBLIC.
N addressing you, " my best Friends," for the

as Lotteries increased in n ton ber, my fame for the dtstrihtu kin of
its wealth increased also ; it is, therefore, with the sincerest
regret I announce that the. Legislature has come to what I con-
sider it very unwise decision, viz. to abolish Lotteries. And '
for what reason ? only to please a few persons, who have not
examined their merits, but have confoundi G illegal transactions

view of the case ; bot. Where a •syiltilii has gone un without

annually nearly Haifa Million into the Trem:ury. I cannot but
agree with an eminent writer, who says " Surely the present
is act the best period for. experiments ; ' and it would, in tny
humble opiniim, have been more wise to have done away with
several obnoxious end paltry Taxes (vexatious in their collec-
tion) than to annihilate the Lottery, which, let it. be welt borne
in mina, is a voluntary Tux ; and, by itscontinuance, not only
might those obnoxious Taxes

be removed, but hundreds of per.

the plaintiff supplied her horses with hays, Straw, ead.oati,
the present demand was for the supply given in, the first year, and
amounted to 8361., but-as receipts for anisequent isaytne,nts tad

GENERAL EL-16:1;10N.

The County of Caithness is to be contested :...the
candidates are the eldest son of Sir John Sinclair and
the Hon. James Sinclair, brother to the Earl of
Caithness.
The County of Cromarty will be .closely run 'be-
tween Mr. Macleod, younger, of Cadboll, and, Mr.
Duncan Davidson, younger, 'of Tulloch.
It is said that there is to he no oppOsition to Capt.
Wemysa, R. N., by the. Whigs of Fife,
In Inverness-shire there will be lots of candidates. • .
The Right Hon. Charles Grant is to be opposed by
Lord Macdonald, Col. Bailey, and Mr. Mzcleod, 4'
Macleod ; but it is a mistake, into which some people .
have been led, that there are two members for that. or
for any Scots county. Mr. Grant's friends have no.
apprehension as to the result. . .
Mr. Grant's brother, Mr. Robert Grant, has Be-
-1
cured the Inverness district of Burghs.
In Ross-shire a contest was expected between the -
present member Sir James W. and Sir Francis A.
Mackenzie ; but Sir James has lately been appointed
Lord Lieutenant of the count•, and we have not
heard whether he will he inclined to undertake those
two important offices.
HEREFORD.—it is said that Lord Eastuor will`
not contest the election, and that Mr. Clive and Mr.
Blakemore will come in without opposition. Doubt-
less Mr. Flak-e-more will oppose the slave trade.

making a great bustle ; report says the light-fingered
gentry were particularly on the alert.

PETITION OF MR. LATOUCILE.

Mr. MIME presented a petition from an individual named
David Latonche, who bad been confined since 1828 in the King's
Bench Prison. The Petitioner complained of the conduct of Mr.
Jones, the Marshal of that Prison, who let persons out of the
prison, end allowed them to remain the rules, upon their pay-
ing a certain aunt of motley, 'whieb sum of money was regulated
according to the means d. the applicants for such a favour. He
(Mr. flume) did not wish the House to consider the truth of the
statements but upon general ground', for he did not know the pe-
titioner, or the facts stated byhim, he had only done his duty in
presenting the petition. The petitioner further stated, that be paid
to Mr. Jones, the sum of KM. 10s. for his liberation ; but, unfor-
tunately, a short time after, t, he got into a squabble—nud upon
being conveyed to the prition bad been detained within it ever since,
althongh he bad paid the sum of 2071. 10s. for • the permission to
live in do The Hon. Member svotentled thatconfinement
far debt Was au aggravation of the law, and, in thus Majority of
cases,•-unproductive of any good to either patty. He was sure
the law never intruded to invest curtain individuals with the power
of demanding certain sums of money for allowing prisoners to
live in the rules. He did not wish to Defend the conduct of the
petitioner in the, tray fur which he had been locked up. He
understOod,. that he had discharged a pistol merely for the pur-
pose of alarming, and not with any int:ntion .of doing any
bodily injury. He however concurred in the prayer of the
petition, inasmuch as he did not think that sums of money
should be paid for the liberation of prisoners confined for debt.
Mr. BAN.KES, jun. opposed the Petition. The Marshal
acted under the orders of the Chief, Juitioe of the Court' of
King's Bmch, and he felt assured that if the Petitioner had
applied to the right quarter, he would have- had redress. He
did not t'link that the House Should intertzre in u case like this,
the VaLc:ty of which: was not %IN orted by the lion. Member,
who. presented 'it. Ile would ask the lion, Member if he
thought it quite fair for hint to present a Petition, calumniating
the character of an individual, without giving him the chance Of
daring it ; and he would suggest to the lion. Member tnpost-
pone the Petition, until he should have had sufficient time to look
into the details of it.

Mr. P. MOORE opposed the pitition ; he could Assure the
House that runny of MS constituents had beet► under tho ears of
`Alt. Jones, and spoke in very high tams of praise of him.—(A
laugh.)
Mr. DAWSON really did not think there wall kinder Irian in
existence than Mr. Jones. , '

Mr. HUMS had no objeCtion to submit the Petition to the in
spection of Mr. Jones; but he trusted the lion. Member did not
expect him to vieit the respective prisons against which any com-
plaint might be made. Was he to go 401V11 to York or any other
place, and visit the prisons there, before he presented a Petition
complaining of them? The. Hon. Nl,finher then withdrew the
Petition.

to the estimation in which he had been held by a numerous acqiisint-

prevented his accumulating a large fortune; but having made
handsome competence, he returned to this country about ten years
ago, with the view of passing the rest of his life amongst his
friends. Finding, however, a near relation involved in pecuniary
difficulties, with a princely magnificence he gave him the whole
of what he had saved, and went back to India to make more. He
returned the second time last year, but unfortunately did not live
lung to enjoy his second fortune.

Mr. HUME presented petitions from three individuals in 'the

that parish, and begging an inquiry ion) the shm,e3 complained
of in the Petitions. 11e thought that if the Clergy of England
pursued the exactions of their tithes in the same way that they
were pursued in Ireland, the Muse would be called upon to in-
terfere, and'apPoint that the tithe should be applied for the relief
of the poor, and thus relieve gentlemen from the poor's rat" which
was the end intended when tithe. were. first exacted. 11. thought
it his duty to make these observations when he.saw a roan like Dr.
Owen (the present Incumbent) receive at the rate of 4001. a stir-
mon, and a Curate perform hie duty for him for 601. a yea.
lie thought the time approaching when the landed intermit

lieve themselves from this exaction.....-The Petitions were ordered

Mr. Chamberlain readily. waited. upon his Lordship.
The Loan M*yoa said, as the application of the petitioner had
been made public; he thought proper to mention what had indumd
him to interfere. He• had observed in a Morning Paper of that
day, a letter, signed by Mr: Chamherlain,:alluding to the ►state-
ment which had,been made by the widow .of Lord ,Erakine at the
Mansion4louse, and, as the condition of the Unfortunate Lady
was truly deserving of compromion, (if a judgment were to be form-
ed from the humble and grateful tone in which she expressed her-
self on finding that her complaint was not likely to be neglect-
ed), it was desirable that it should, be immediately ascertained

population of 198,000, and containing the wealthy
and luxurious town of Newcastle, the commitments
are only three ; that is, exactly the average of Scot-
land. But Cornwall, with a population of 257,447,
had only two commitments.—lt has been remarked by
a sensible contemporary, that the number of commit-
ments under the game laws, seems to fluctuate with
the condition of the working classes in the different
Counties. No doubt the poverty of the working classes
must add very much to the temptation to poach. But
there are, notwithstanding, some inexplicable anomalies
in the returns. For instance, Cumberland, which must
be pretty much under the same circumstances as those
of the other Northern Counties, has, with a population
Of 156,124, no fewer than 41 commitments, while De-
vonshire and, Somerset, two of the counties of England
in which the people are the poorest, the former with
population of 439,030, and the latter with a population
of 355,314, have respectively only 23 and 29 commit-
ments. What should have increased so much the
Game Law commitments in Cumberland, which has
the advantage, too, of possessing the benevolent fa-
mily of the Lowtbers, is beyond : our comprehension.
If we were to hazard a conjecture, we should say,
that the commitments under the Game Laws are as
Much influenced by the humanity and good sense of
the Magistracy of a. county, as by the poverty of the
laboUrmg classes. When a Lord Lieutenant is more
solicitous to have toad-eating Parsons or his political
dependents in the Commission than respectable gen-
, tlemen, we may expect to find the number of game
commitments higher than' in. the counties where the
. Lord Lieutenant is solicitous only to have a respect-
, able Magistracy, without regard to party or political
Subserviency. '

George Sidney was fined twenty pounds for having,
published at Hammersmith, a hand-bill, without the
printer's name annexed to it. He acknoWledged
himself to be the' author and publiSher; and his
solicitor contended that 'the' object of the thirty-
ninth of George the' Third, in 'requiring the
printer's name was to find out the author, which, in
this case, being discovered, the printer was exempt
from the penalty. But Sir Richard held that the
clause respecting printers did not admit of that excep-

PANAMA PAPERS.

PROCLAMATION OF TUE INTENDANT .LOSE MARIA CARRINO, COM-

MANIIIII-N7CHIIIP IN TIII/ ISTHMUS.

PANAMA, JULY 28.—Being,empowered by the Supreme
Governinent of the Republic to maintain the interior and
exterior security, by the extraordinary power of the law of
the 28th July, 1824, I decree,
Awe. 1. That the military preparations which the enemy
is making at Cuba are going on rapidly, and there is ap-
prehension that he will direct his attention to this part of
the Isthmus.
2. That there are plenty of evil-minded Colombians,
who, wishing to see their comity plunged into ruin, in pre-
ference to What is offered by the independence and liberty,
bOught at so dear a rate, are preparing to unite under the
Black Flag of our detestable enemy, and are making every
effort to aid him, by showing our situation, resources, the
road of invasion, actin secretly, and endeavouring to sub-
vert 'public-order.' .••
3. That in consequence of this state of things, the tran-
quillity of this part of the country is endangered, and very
near to. be disturbed, which makes its security in immi-
nent peril.
And, finally, to provide for our defence, and the preserva-
tion of public order, under such circumstances, it is not
only necessary that the • :ordinary powers of the Com-
mandant-General, but that extraordinary means,. provided
by the law .of the 16th August, should be put in force;
therefore decree, the following

ARTICLE, 1. The Provinces of Panama and Viragna,
being declared,in a state of martial law, the Commandant-
General will exercise the extraordinary power delegated to
him by the deeree of the 16th of August, 1824. The.
Civil Authorities of tWo. Department will continue in the
free exercise of their legal powers, as long as they do not
come in contact or oppose the extraordinary measures with
which the military authorities arc invested, conformably
with the above decree.

CHILD STEALING.

The family. of Mr. James Thomas Lommas, of Union-
terrace, Bayswater, haVe been thrown into a state of the
utmost affliction by the carrying off of a fine child of three
years of age, on Wednesday afternoon last. Mr. Lonunas
has been absent for the last five months in Italy, in the
capacity of a courier to a family of rank, leaving behind
him Mts. Lommas, her sister, a girl of 16, and her mother
and four children. On Wednesday afternoon last, between
three and four o'clock, as a little girl was walking with the
two little children on the.Bayswater-road, a woman of ma-
tronly appearance•aecostad her, and asked some questions
*thew, the neighbourhood, then about the children, of whom
she took much untice. Another female of much more
genteel appearance then came up, apparently quite mi.
dente], and both recognisiag each other, they appeared
quite pleased with the. meeting. The girl, taking the
children by the hand, bid both females good evening, mid
was turning towards home, when one of -them said, " Oh,
my dear, let me take them a little further for some cakes."
The girl ;refused, observing, that she was never allowed to
be out after five o'clock. The woman who first accosted
her said, " We will walk a little distance with the pretty
dears." They did so, and as Robert (the child that has
been carried off) cried that he was tired, the girl allowed
the .woman to take him in her arms. In this way they
walked past the tea-gardens a considerable distance,, but,
at an tingle of the road, one of the women gave the girl a
blow on the head, which knocked her into the ditch, and
both decamped with the little boy. The girl recovered in
less than a minute, and her cries soon brought some per-
sons to her assistance, who followed in pursuit, but not the
slightest trace of the child or the women could be found.
A young man, servant to a eheesemonger, was the only
person who appeared to have seen any thing of them, and
he merely observed two females and a man driving in a
rapid manner in the direction of the Uxbridge-road.
gentleman, named Brandwell, upon hearing of the
outrage on Wednesday night, pursued on horseback, taking
his route by the Uxbridgeload, but the only tidings he
could obtain were, that two hackney-coaches had passed
through the gates, ,and, a chaise-etut with only one man
in it. The gate-keeper at the New-road had beard a child
screaming bitterly in one of the coaches, but of the circum-
stance he took no particular notice at the time. The
same cries were also heard by different persons on the
lirie.of road.
The distressed mother ia confined to her bed in a very
precarious state. The child is tall for its age, very robust,
has dark complexion, round face, and hazel eyes, and was
dressed in a blue stuff frock, trimmed with pink, and had a
round seal-skin cap on,
