HIGII WATER AT LONDON-RRIDGE THIS DAY.
'doming 31 minutes after 6 I Evening .. 54 minutes after 6

The Earl of CLANCARTY presented a petitios from
the Irish Great Western Railway Company, denying
the allegations made against them in a petition, which
he NI presented the previous evening.
I,,rdships then went into a long discussion on
the subject of th.a proposed New Standing Orders, on
the subject of Railway Bills, and in the course of it,
The Earl of DaLuotnant took occasion to explain and
defend the course pursued by the Board of Trade on
this subject.
Lord BROUGHAM moved that his resolution, requiring
that the promoters of a new railway should pay the
costs of an opposing landholder, be adopted as a new
standing order.

This proposition was opposed by the Earl of Wicm.ow
and other Noble Lords, and after some discussion it v‘ as
withdrawn, for the purpose of being again submitted on
Monday next.

Several 13111 s on their Lordships' table were then ad-
vanced a stage, after which the House adjourned.

The Commons met at Twelve.
Lord ASHLEY moved the order of the day for the
House going into Committee on the Lunati•s Bill.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, by moving that the Ilse be
counted, and afterwards by m ving the adl)urnment,
endeavoured to defeat the measure, but without effect.
The lion. Gentleman then moved the postponement of
the Bill until next session. This amendment was de-
feated by a majority of 65, the numbers being—for the
amendment, 1; against it, 66. It was ultimately arranged
that the Committee should be take❑ on Tuesday.

The House re-assembled at Five o'clock, when
Mr. HAwEs postponed his motion on the subject of
the Danish claims until Tuesday week.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that the House do resolve
itself into Committee on the Poor Law (Scotland)
Amendment Bill.

Mr. IIuME thought the Bill ought to be postponed to
next session.

Mr. EWART was also in favour of the postponement of
the measure, _ _ .

A hug discussion followed, in the course of a hich the
House was ad tressed by Mr. STEWART, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. Ross, and other Hon.
Members,' but eventually the House went into Com-
mittee ou the Bill, and clauses 35 to 55, after consider-
able discussion, were agreed to.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at half-past One o'clock.

We confidently anticipate that Lord ASHLEY'S Lunatic
Bill will be postponed till next session. Owing to the
determined opposition of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the fur-
ther consideration of the scheme was deferred yesterday till
Tuesday, when it is to go into Committee. We there-
fore earnestly intreat the attendance of Members at the
early sitting, in order that they may judge for them-
selves, and not trust either to the well-known humanity
of the noble author of the Bill, or to the savings which it
may effect as compared with the present state of the law.
The expense, in fact, ought to be thrown entirely out of
the question, for the amount, even supposing the plan to
be carried into effect on the most liberal scale, would
be nothing when weighed in the balance with the
vast benefits that may be conferred not only on the
insane, but on persons of sound wind, liable to be impri-
soned at the bidding of mad doctors. We regret, there-
hire, to find that Lord ASHLEY dwells more upon the
saving of money by the new plan than on the great object
which he ought to have in view. The expense of the
present Commission, it appears, would, if allowed to go
on for a few years, reach 25,000/. a yea?, while the esti-
mated cost of the new Commission would not amount
to 13,0001. The difference hardly deserves notice, yet
on thiapoint his Lordship dwelt fur nearly one-halt of
his speech. But heaving that, let us see what are the
improvements contemplated. It begins by esta-
blishing a permanent Commission, and thereby, accord-
ing to Lord ASHLEY, secures the entire services
of comp. tent persons and fixes the limits of expense.
It places hospitals or subscriptiim asylums under proper
gulations, by requiring them to have the same orders
and certificates us were necessary in licensed houses
and by subjecting; them to the saute tisitation us county
asylums. It pre% ems permit's of weak mitel from being
received in usy lums in the character of boarders, in
which case they have not the benefit of any visitation,
and are sometime s induced to execute deeds affecting
their property. It provides en additional security
against the improper detention of pauper patients, by
requiring that the person signing the order for their
confinement should see and personally examine
them beforehand ; and that the medical ofliser who
certified as to their insanity should see them
within seven days previous to their confinement.
It compels every person receiving a patient to state his
condition when first admitted, and the cause of his death
when he diet. It directs every injury and act of vio-
lence happening to a patient to be recoreed, and re-.
quires a " case book" to be kept ; thereby affording
additional security against mismanagement, and showing
how far the patients had the benefit of medical treat
merit. It proiides against the liberation of dangerous
patients. It authorises the visitors to enforce a proper
supply of food (in licensed houses) to pauper patients,
who were at present led at the discretion of the proprie-
tor. It enables the visitors to order the admission of a
patient's friends to visit him. All these regu-
lations, w e admit, are unobjectionable, but they
are far from going to the root of the evils
The same medical certificates are to be used as the war-
rants for commitment, and, therefore, interested parties
will still have the power of imprisoning relatives whose
property would accrue to them after the death of the
unhappy victims. But oppression will drive a wise man
mad. What will be its effect, then, on sensitive minds,
harassed by grasping and unfeeling relatives. The in-
cessant annoyance's of persons of this character have, it
is well known, driven many to such a state of excitement
that medical men are called in to effect their cure—and
the only cure they generally recommend is confinement

in a madhouse. As regards the visits of Commissioners.

a species of madness, and this can easily be induce d
by those who have an interest in their imprisonment. The
return proposed to be made to toe LORD CHANCELLOR
is of no use whatever. The Commissioners are to report
the number of their visits, the patients they have seen,
and the miles which they have travelled. This may be
a very necessary return as regards pounds, shillings, and
pence, but it is no security against the evils of which
we complain. 'The great cause of all the succeeding
misery is the first conanitinent, and on that point :he
Legislature should be as jealous as they are of the
liberty of the subject when it is invaded by unjust im-
prieenment. Many sane permt's have been confined as
lunatic, ; Mr. PHILLIPS is a glaring instance, but
he could not have obtained redress in a court
of law, as the person whet signed the certificate would
hate been regarded there as a privtleged character.
Never eas the're more cruel mockery than this. In
our opinion the only real security is an investiga-
tion by a jury of twelve men in open court,
ashen the motives of all parties can be sifted, and
the facts of the case laid before the world. English-
men would undergo much trouble, and pay any amount
of expenses, rather than see, what so often occurs, a
fellow-creature unjustly committed to the horrors of a
madhouse, and as Mr. DUNCOMBE observed, -' Better
that nineteen insane persons should go free than that
one rational being should be shut up under theplea of
in amity."

The Madrid Gazette of the sth instant contains a circular
to the political chiefs, signed by the Minister of the Interor'
directing the Provincial Councils to be constituted by the
Ist of August, prescribing the form of oath to be taken on in-
stallation, and stating the amount of salary each councilk.:
will receive—in provinces of the 3d class, 8,000 reals (80/0
yearly; 2d ditto,- 9,000 (900 ; Ist, 10,000 (100/0 ; and in
Madrid, 12,000 reals (1200
The papers bring no news of importance. The heat at
Madrid is described in some of them as insupportable.

The Funds were very flat. There was a decline of 1 per
cent. in the Three per Cents. for cash on the sth, and 15-16
for time. They were quoted at 284 cash, and 294 at sixty
days; Fives, 21 cash, and 21 for the sth of August; Pas-
sive, GA cash.

The Paris papers are still occupied with the affair of the
French Jesuits, of which enough has already been said. One
of them states that the Government has called upon the pro-
fessors of the College of France to take measures to oblige
M. MICHELET and M. QUINET to keep in their lectures within
the scope and
,object for which the professorships held by
them were instituted, and that the professors are to meet to
consider the subject on Sunday. This refers to the attacks
occasionally made by these professors on the French
clergy. The political news is without interest. An
accident happened to Marshal SOULT on Wednesday,
which at first threatened serious consequences. While
passing along the Quai d'Orsay, when opposite the
barracks, the hind uxletree of his carriage broke,
the off-wheel came off, and the carriage fell on -its
side, in which position it was dragged for some little dis-
tance before the coachman could stop his horses. The foot-
man was thrown from behind, but, being unhur:, be ran to
his master's assistance, and opening the carriage-d,,or
found him lying with his feet upwards. The Marshal had
received only a few bruises, an'! was able, leaning on the
arm of his servant, to walk on to the Tuileries, where the
medical men in attendance thought it prudent to bleed him.

The KING was present at the operation, and afterwards had
the Marshal taken home in one of the royal carriages.

The Presse, in reference to the last quarterly returns of
the British revenue, greatly blames the illiberal policy of the
French Government as re-pects trade; but, in fact, the Cham-
bers are entirely in the fault :

" The able chief of the English Cabinet has rendered an immense
service to his country by making such bold and decisive improve-
ments in the fiscal system. Timid minds. incapable of moving out
of the beaten track, have condemned them as imprudent and ven-
turesome. They have exclaimed against him as having lost the
suostance in catching at the shadow, and placing the future finance
of England in a state of frightful perturbation. But none of their
sinister predictions have been realised. On the contrary, the
finances of England have never been in a more Nourishing state,
and her trade and commerce, thanks to his reduction of the duties
on raw material, and on the principal articles of consumption, have
extended to a degree hitherto unknown. May this grand expert.
ment be maturely weighed—may it teach our statesmen and our
Chambers how productive may be a judicious application of true
principles of political economy."
The National is highly indignant at the escape of " an
illustrious personage, crowned with the laurels of Parnassus,
and invested with the ermine robes of the Peerage," and as-
serts that the Peers have failed in their duty. The Duke DE
RIANZERES ( MUNOZ) had arrived in Paris, accompanied by
two Secretaries. Count Bnusst,w, the French Ambassador
at Madrid, had also arrived.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY NIGHT.

We have another arrival here to-night from New York—
the Rochester, Captain Woodhouse : by her we have papers
from that city to the 22d ult., four days later than were
brought by the Shakspeare. The Rochester made her pre-
sent voyage in the short space of 19 days, and brought 20
passeng( rs.

The papers brought by her contain no political news of
importance. Nothing of a decided character had transpired
respecting either Texas or Oregon.

The Caledonia arrived at Boston on the 19th.

The papers are chiefly filled with matters relating to the
death of General Jackson, and the preparations making to
pay a just tribute to his memory. Many public meetings
had been held, at which a variety of measures were adopted
to commemorate the event.

The appointment of the Hon. L. M'Lane, of Baltimore, as
a Special Minister to England, is positively announced; and
he will leave new York for this country on the 15th inst.

A great fire broke out at Fayetteville, N.C., on June 13.
Half the town is in ruins. The market• house, and all the
town below it going to the river, saved, and all the churches.
The market and the Presbyterian church were en fire, but
saved.
