_ _ PAELLIAMENTAILY.

The Lordi read the Insolvent Debtors Relief Bill a
third time, and passed it. After Lord Brougham had, in
the name of such debtors, thanked the Lords, Lord
Campbell proposed an amendment, and was somewhat
mortified to find that the Bill had passed.
The Suspension of the Slave-trade Prohibition Act, as
relative to Portugal, was read a second time.

Lord Brougham moved a resolution that it is expe-
dient to take measures to prevent the employment of
British capital and British agents in the slave trade.
The Noble Lord gave an eloquent description of the in-
crease of the trade, and referred to several instances in
which British capital had been engaged in it. The Duke
of Wellington admitted the evils, and declared they ought
to be remedied, but also said he saw no means to remedy
them. Till they were devised, the sanction of the reso-
lution was not advisable. After a short conversation
Lord Brougham withdrew his resolution.
Their Lordships forwarded a considerable number of
measures a stage, and adjourned at Half-past Eight.
In the Commons, Sir John Easthopo obtained a re-
turn, after some little bickering by the Saints, of the
amount of Church-rates in every parish. Sir R. Peel
admitted that he was not satisfied with the law, but he
could not promise a measure next session to amend it.
In answer to Mr. Cobden, Sir R. Peel stated that two
vessels were fitting out in the river for the Mexican Go-
vernment, and that our Government had refused to allow
them to be manned by British seamen. In any contest
which may take place, Sir R. Peel said our Government
is to be strictly neutral, and no English officer is to be
allowed to serve in the Mexican fleet.

Mr. O'Connell alluded to the. internal regulations of
Texas, but was told by Mr. C. Buller that the internal
regulations of a State were not to preclude us from forming
a treaty with it.
The Bribery at Elections Bill (No. 2) was read a
third time and passed.
The House was engaged, for the principal part of the
evening, in discussing the Copyright of Designs Bill on
bringing up the Report. During the discussion Sir
Robert Peel excited some amusement by adverting to
the mode by which patterns are distinguished, se-
lecting for the purpose one marked Richard Cobden
and Co., and which he, appropriately for him, styled
an ugly pattern. The House sat till One o'Clock.
