LONDON, SATURDAY• MAY 31. 1845.

The House of Lords met at five o'clock.
The whole of the evening was occupied in the presen_
tation of petitions on the subject of the Maynooth Bill.
The Cotton Print Works Bill (after a few observa-
tions in opposition to the principle of the measure from
Lord BROUGHAM) passed through Committee.
On the motion for the second reading of the Post-
office Regulation Bill,
The Earl of RADNOR expressed his entire concurrence
in the measure.
The House was subsequently addressed by
several Noble Lords, and ultimately the second reading
of the Bill was negatived by a majority of 46.
The House of Commons met at four o'clock.
The debate on the question of privilege, involved in
the case of " Howard v. Gossett " was renewed, and
again adjourned.
The order of the day for the second reading of the
Academical Institutions (Ireland) Bill was then read.
Lord Jou& MANNERS moved that the Bill be read
a second time that day six months.
A long debate ensued upon this proposition, but
ultimately the debate was adjourned till Monday
evening; and the other orders of the day having been
disposed of,
The House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock.

Madrid journals of the 22d inst. have been received.
According to some of them the Court, or rather Queen
CHRISTINA, has some new measures in view not quite
acceptable to the Ministry, and one of them is said to
be the marriage of Queen ISABELLA with the son of Don
CARLOS. The Duke DE RIANZARES (MUNOZ) had left
Madrid for Paris on the previous day, possibly to make
arrangements on the subject with the French Court.
The festival of Corpus Christi was celebrated on the
22d, and no business consequently was done on the
Bourse.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday
the discussion on the extraordinary estimates for the
army in Algeria commenced. M. Dunois, the first
speaker, condemned altogether the system of military
colonisation, and more especially the present expedition
into Kiklia, which he considered unnecessary and ill-
timed. M. DE CORCELLES recommended the Govern-
ment to proceed with energy against the Arabs, as on no
other conditions could French dominion be established
in that country. M. DE BEAUMONT than adverted to the
failure of the treaty with Morocco, and theinconsistency
of the Government journals, first praising the conduct of
General DE LA RUE, then condemning and disavowing
it, and contended that owing to the wavering policy
pursued, and notwithstanding the victories of Marshal
BUGEAUD, the colony was in a worse con-
dition than in 1844. He was left speaking
at the hour of post. The opposition journals continue
to discuss the policy of the Government in reference to
Morocco, but we find nothing in them but repetitions of
charges already made against M. GUIZOT, the English,
and Sir ROBERT WILSON. The resignation of Don
CARLos in favour of his son seems to be admitted
as an undoubted fact by all the papers. One of
thew sayss - We believe we are warranted in
giving as certain the news that the abdication of Don
e
CARLOS has been sent to the French Government.
He at the same time demands that he shall be at
liberty to sojourn wherever he may think fit. The
French Government received by the same courier an ap-
plication from the son of Don CARLos, for passports to
Spain, as a subject of ISABELLA."
The KING and Royal Family were at Fontainbleau, and
no reply would be given to the application till his MA-
JESTY returned to the capital.
The Moniteur publishes a report to the KING from
the Minister of Justice on the administration of civil
and commercial justice for 1843, of which the following
is an abstract
"In 1843 the number of suits before the civil and com-
mercial tribunals was greater than in 1842. In the former
the increase was 5 per cent., and in the latter 10 per cent.
The number of causes before the commercial tribunals in
1841 was 159,188 ; in 1842, 165,814 ; and in 1843,
176,450. In 1842 there were formed 2,396 com-
mercial societies, viz., 1,902 en nom collectif, 324 en
commandite, 151 soczetes par actions, and 18 societes
anonymes. Of this number
, 2,395,733 were in Paris, 200 in
the department du 148 in the Seine-Inierieure, 98 in
the Nord, 92 in the Gironde, 91 in the Bouches•du-Rhone,
and 46 in the Loire-Inferieure. The number of declared
failures which in 1842 was 2,419, rose in 1843 to 3,071. The
assets of 110 of the bankruptcies, the accounts of which were
closed in 1843, were entirely absorbed by the privileged cre-
ditors; the dividend in 256 bankruptcies was under 10 per
cent. ; in 910 it was from 10 to 25 per cent ; in 26, 50 per
cent; in 423, 51 to 75 per cent., and in 68 it exceeded
75 per cent. The debts in 1829 of the bankruptcies closed
in 1843 amounted to 105.116,436 f. In 152 they were all
under 5,000 f. ; in 304, from 5,000 f to 10,000 f. ; in 958,
50,000 f.; and in 212, from 50,000 f. to 100,000 f. In 203 the
debts exceeded l 00,000 f.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse, on Wed-
nesday, at 85f. 85c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 10c. ; the Five
