he ga"ery was cleared for a division, but none took place.
On our entrance,

Sir li. PEEL was on his legs. If the power which the
House was possessed of was a good owe, he did not think it
right to abuse it.—(Hear, hear.) The House had already de-
cided upon the question of the continuance of the Commis-
and.he did not think that the course pursued by the Hon.
Alember was fair towards the House.—(Cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON was of the same opinion with the
Right Hon. Baronet. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would
riot persevere in pressing his motion against the general sense
of the House.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. FIELDEN thought after the numerous condemnations
of the clatise as unconstitutional, it was fair of any Member to
r.ffer to it ail the obstruction in his power. He should persevere
in dividing the House against the further discussion of the
cause that evening.

Mr. ESCOTTthought that the opposition given by the
Hon. Member for Oldham to tfie progress of the el.ause, could
only be considered as a-factious opposition.
Sir C. NAPIER hoped that the Hon. Me tuber for
Oldham would not persevere in his motion, as it had been
already shswn that he had but sixteen supporters in the House.
Colonel SIBTHORP said that he was opposed to the
clause, but all, he wished was that the sense of the House
should be fairly taken on the subject.
Mr. WAR!) thought it was manifest that the course taken
by the lion. Member for Oldham, if persevered in, would form
a dangerous precedent, and could only lead to the total obstruc-
tion of public business.
Mr. BROTHERION hoped that the Hon. Member for
Oldham would withdiaw his. motion ; although he could not
aVoid voting for an adjournment, at that late hour, if the ques-
tion went to a division.

- -
Mr. AGLIONBY also hoped that the Hon. Me nber fcr
Oldham would withdraw his motion.
Mr. R. YORKE did not wish to vote in favour of any fur-
ther adjournment, although he had been one of the minor►ty on
he last division.

Genetal JOHNSON wished for, further time to discuss
the clause, although he did not intend to offer any factious op-
position to its passing.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the Committee
did not divide on Mr. Fielden's motion for adjournment, which
was put and negatived without a division.
The Committee then divided on the clause, when there ap •
peared—

The clause was then agreed to.
The House then re►umed, and the-Chairman reported pro-

The other. Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter to Two.

INGRESS ABBEY.
The following a description of Ingress Abbey,
Gieenhithe, the seat of James Harmer, Esq., by-Mr.
Smith: with, C.M.A..:—

•
• " Ingress Abbey is a fine pile of building in the Tudor
style of domestic architecture. It is surrounded by • a
beautiful-terrace, so eleverly construsted as to form a
principal feature and enrichment to the scene. • All that
art could achieve to increase the natural beauties of In-
gress have been accomplished through the taste and mu-
nificence of the respected proprietor, whose arrangehient
of the landseape scenery is beyond all praise. The har-
fuonious beauty Of the fine outlines preserved in thi.
grouping of the park foliage, the powerful masses o
light and shade, so artfully contrived and increased

The Lodge, the Vantiftihns, Mid -Shrubberies are

. There is a cottage in the' 'hid English stylJ.
called the Farm, with a rustic bridge, which -crews a
little lake,,and leads to a high mound, from which is ob-
tained several fine views of the surrounding scenery.
The raised terrace and gothic ballustrade, behind whici.

abundant supply of fruit and vegetable produce of the

and 'the more to be admired, as the terrace effectual!)

upper rooms. is very imposing, while the eye perceives
through the plate glass of the opposite gothic door the
picturesque garden and foliage, and embellished by two
ornamental fountains containing gold fish.
The, dining room is strictly in the Tudor style. The
richly carved side-board, with gothic perforated panels;
the massive cellerat, fit accompaniment to the huge
baron of beef of the olden time, so admirably restored te•
its pristine grandeur by the hospitable owner of the mans
sion, on receiving the " Harmer Testimonial," harmonise
well with the gothic side and centre tables. The beautiful
oriel table, which is a fac-simile of an old favourite in the
Bodleian Library, at Oxford; the rich tracery of the ceil-
ing, the chairs, all in strict keeping with the style, render
this room at once imposing and grand. We hasten
through the " sanctum sanctorum" in which hang various
illuminated and emblazoned drawings, presented to the.
worthy owner of the mansion for acts of kindness anti
merit, and attempt a description of the library. The
style changes to the Elizabethan. It is impossible to..
convey an adequate idea of the intrinsic and very rich
effect of the book-cases, which are divided into 32 corn-
partnients, in each of which is a. bas-relief of well-de-
, signed .subjects and very superior workmanship; at least
ten of them are so considered by the
.first artists of the
-day; wko have examined them carefully. They are, in
Tact, pictures 'possessing all the qualities of a painting
evith the exception of colour, describing, with all the
minuteness of German oak carving, the earl)

history . of Clwist, his birth, the wise men's offer-
ing-, his working. ith his father's tools at the
bent +, &c. These productions are so ingeniously con-
ceised, 86 exquisitely grouped, and so beautifully.
carved, that no pencil, however delicate, could convey a
more correct representation of these beautiful subjects.
The richly carved mantel, intended to receive a portrait
of the great Bacon, the beautiful pannels on the doors,
the enriched cornices, advancing boldly with the pic-
turesque old oak pediments and busts of Camden, and
the learned characters of the day, are introduced in strict
keeping with the other decorations of this room, and re-
lieved by a background similar to old cloth of gold, ar-
ranged with cool and rich mellow colours. Messrs. Ar-
rowsmith, ofßond-street, Decorators to her Majesty, have
greatly added to their already high reputation by design-
ing and erecting the •Elizabeqhan and Gothic decorations
and fu:niture in this princely mansion.
On the ground floor are several other rooms, one of
them leading to a conservatory, at present in the course of
erection. The Drawing-rooms are in the style of Louis
Qtiatorze, and When painted will be exceedingly hand-
smile. The ladies' boudoir, on the upper floor, is a per-
fect bijou, with its beautif 11 oriel window, the handsome
carved mantel, with Cupids supporting baskets of flowers,
and enfraMing plate glasS, which reflects Father Thames
and the scenery beyond.
THE
We must not omit to' notice the carved whole-length
figures in this room. Two of these, Fortitude and Justice,
are arranged as candelabra. A St. Sebastian, finely carved,
and reminding t:s of the picture of this subject so much
admired at the Dulwich Gallery, is very ingeniously
contrived to serve when required as a reading desk.
Also a St. Paul, carved in the most masterly mariner :
the repose and dignity of this figui e surpasses anything
we have seen of Brustolini or Grinling Gibbon. The
fine expansive forehead, the head gently leaning forward,
the flowing heard, and the grandlines of the drapery,
posed to be expounding, and the fine effect of light and

three apertures, one throwing fer:h a velvet cushion for
kneeling, a recess for the book of prayer, and a project-
ing desk, thus most ingeniously forming a Prie Dieu,

PUBLIC FuNIIRAL.—The intelligence that the

Friday, arrived by Monday morning's mail, and it was re-

annoyances of the old Corporation, the joy it diffused among all ' '
classes of the citizens can better be imagined than described.
During the earlier part of the day groups paiided the streets '
with satisfaction, and victory lighted up their countenances.

HEADS OF HOUSES AND SIR ROBERT PEE.I._ lt is cur-
rently reported here that the Puseyite Party hive gained a
triumph by obtaining from the PPremierthe nomination of the
Puseyite Archdeacon Robert Wilber orce to the Regius Pro-
fessorship of Modern History, vacant by Dr. Arnold', decease.
Archdeacon R. Wilberforce came from York on a late occasion
to record his vote against the Board of Heads on the affair of
Dr, Hampden.
NEGRO VANlTY.—llitherto negroes have devoted
very little attention to the comforts of their cottages. At pre-
sent dress is the great_ article of eirense. On Sunday, the
men are dressed in as good clothes as their masters ; indeed
they wear only the finest quality; and the women are equally
particular ; they will have whatever costs most money. As
they advance in civilisation, aud acquire a taste for domestic
comforts, they will discover how unsuitable their dresses are to
their condition, arid that their money may be more rationally
employed than in the purchase of finer Clothes than their
' steams requires. The negroes are universally fond of dancing;
it i great honour to oen a ball ; and this hi nour is awarded
to who will pay most for it: the biddings sometimes
