LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five.
After a short conversation on the subject of Mr.
BARRY and the new Houses of Parliament,
The Small Debts Bill was read a second time.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then complained of
the want of sufficient accommodation at the Harbours of
Port Patrick and Donaghadee, after which—
Lord STANLEY brought in a Bill to enable tenants in
Ireland to obtain compensation for improvements which
they might make in the land occupied by them. While
awarding all due merit to emigration as a partial remedy
for some of the evils under which the Irish laboured, the
Noble Lord said that he did not consider it as capable of
relieving the general distress which now prevailed in
Ireland. They must, therefore, increase the em-
ployment at home so as to make it adequate to the
wants of the population. There were vast districts in
Ireland, capable of being brought into cultivation, and
by thus affording employment to the population, for,
taken as a whole, Ireland was not an over-peopled
country. What they wanted was capital for the em-
ployment of labourers, and the object of the Govern-
ment was to induce the occupying tenant to expend
capital upon the improvement of the land ; and the
only way to do that was, to give the tenant some security
for his investment. The Government therefore pro-
posed, that if a tenant were obliged to leave his farm
before he realised the benefit of his improvements, that
compensation should be given him for any improve.
ments he might have made in building, draining, or
fencing. He proposed that with respect to buildings
they should be valued at thirty y ears' purchase, di-
minishing a thirtieth every year ; so that if a tenant
remained in possession thirty years, after the erection
of a building, he should be entitled to no compensation.
In the same manner, he proposed to estimate drain-
ing at fourteen years' purchase, and he proposed
that the land gained by the removal of embank-
ment fences should be added to the holding of the
tenant, and estimated at twenty years' purchase.
The Noble Lord then proceeded to detail the machinery
by which he proposed to carry the plan into effect,
namely, by the establishment of a Board of Commis-
sioners in Dublin to act as arbitrators between landlords
and tenants, and to whom tenants might refer before
commencing the improvements.

The House was afterwards addressed by several
Noble Lords, ultimately the Bill was read a first time
and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next.
After disposing of the other orders of the day, their
Lordships adjourned at ten o'clock.

The House of Commons met at a Quarter before
Four o'Clock.

Lord EDWIN BILL took the oaths and his seat for
Downshire.

The ratification of the treaty with France on the sub-
ject of the Right of Search was laid on the table by Sir
R. PEEL.

In answer to Mr. S. WORTLEY, the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet stated that there were no negotiations pending for
a commercial treaty with Portugal.

The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Scotch Banking Bill, and the whole of the clauses were
agreed to.

The House, after some preliminary discussion, then
went into Committee on the Irish Banking Bill.
Clauses 1 to 32 were agreed to, when the CHAIRMAN re-
ported progress, and the House adjourned at one
,o'clock.

The motion of Lord ASHLEY, of Friday evening last,
professed for its object purposes which must ever be dear
to humanity. He did not call for the repeal of any
existing Acts respecting the treatment of lunatics in the
substitution of such other enactments in their place as
time and circumstances may have rendered necessary,
without ample reason for such an appeal. In the com-
mencement of his speech the Noble Lord carefully di-
rected attention to the fact that the two Bills he pro-
posed to introduce regarded only England and Wales.
He wished, however—though certain technical objec-
tions existed to such a course under the present
state of the law—that he could extend his Bills
to the cases of Ireland and of Scotland. As to
the latter country, he was sorry to declare that
he believed there was no portion of her MAJESTY'S
dominions at home er in the colonies—no country in
Europe—in which the condition of pauper lunatics was
more painful or degraded. The Noble Lord showed
that in England and Wales, until the Act of 14
GEO. 111., the law, or rather the abuse of the law in
respect of the most forlorn and helpless class of our
fellow-creatures, was of a laxity so disgraceful as scarcely
to be credited in all that regarded the sort of warrant
on which private individuals might be consigned to
private nr to county asylums, the treatment they expe-
rienced therein, the difficulties interposed to their visita-
tion by friends and kindred, or the precautions
adopted touching the periodical visitings of
such establishments by duly authorised, competent,
and disinterested authorities. The Noble Lord
insisted that, however particular deficiencies of this kind
might have been remedied by statutes passed subse-
quently to that of 14th of GEORGE 111., no man in his
senses could doubt that enormous abuses—most set iously
affecting the private rights and personal liberty of the
subject—continue to exist until Parliament should make
up its mind to discharge the urgent and important
duty devolved upon it, of placing the pauper lunatic
asylums of England and Wales upon a rational and in-
telligible footing. With great wisdom, as we think, he
has limited for the present, at any rate, his benevolent
labours to two classes out of four, into which he
divides the statutes affecting the treatment of lunatics.
These he classifies thus-1. Those affecting lunatics com-
mitted to, and confined in, county asylums. 2. Those
applicable to licensed asylums, private or public
establishments, and their visitations. 3. Those having
reference to parties found to be of unsound mind,
upon inquisition by commissions, &c. 4. Those relating
to criminal lunatics, detained as such after trial and con-
viction, in gaol or other place of confinement. Lord
ASHLEY'S Bill addresses itself only to the two former of
these categories, and is entitled a " Bill to regulate the
law and treatment of lunatics in England and Wales."
It provides by a simple, and, we trust, efficient ma-
chinery, the most probable means of obviating in future
the recurrence of these enormous acts of moral delin-
quency and heartless oppression to which, in this land of
corporated private rights and personal liberty—in the
abstract—the law has hitherto extended the most in-
credible facilities. Grevious indeed has been the sin of
successive legislatures which have for years past so
recklessly armed the sordid, the crafty, the designing,
the unprincipled, and the malicious, with a safe and easy
means of satiating their rapacity, or gratifying their re-
sentment, or glutting their vengeance upon the victims
to whom they have stood in legal or kindred relation,
giving them the opportunity or the power to invoke the
scandalous aid of statutes that are a reproach to our
notions of freedom in all that regards our system of
social civilisation.
It is gratifying to find the Government not only ten-
dering its support to, but expressing its warmest' appro-
bation of, the Bill introduced by the Noble Lord, of its

The Journal des Debats publishes an extract of a letter
from Warsaw, dated the 28th of May, which states that the
Emperor of RUSSIA suddenly left that place on the preceding
day, owing to important intelligence received from General
WonoNsoFF, who commands the army of the Caucasus.
His MAJEsyr was to proceed by Kief to Odessa, and
would probably approach still nearer the theatre
of war, in which, from all accounts, he takes
the deepest interest. During his stay in the capital of Po-
land he was deeply engaged in manoeuvring the troops, and
he also passed in review the stitch:tits of the different acade-
mical institutions; but no professor, says the writer, had the
courage to tell his Majesty into what a deplorable condition
public instruction had fallen at Warsaw. The University,
formerly so flourishing, has been'suppressed since the last re-
volution, and at present more than four mil!ions of inhabi-
tants are without the means of superior instruction. The
affairs of Spain seem to excite much interest at Paris, and
according to one of the journals the Government is afraid of
some attempt beingmade by the refugees now in France. Queen
CHRISTINA'S journal, the Presse, says :—" A report is current
relative to the affairs of Spain, which we mention without
vouching for its correctness. It is rumoured that Govern-
ment have received two telegraphie dispatches, in conse-
quence of which measures have been adopted to remove to a
distance from Paris a large number of refugees belonging to
both the Carlist and Exalted° parties. We know not
whether this report be well founded; but what we know is
that for some days past, there has been here a general ren-
dezvous of Spaniards of all parties, and that the refugees
towards whom the Government have been very in-
dulgent, have been to-day in great agitation."
N. G UIZOT was expected to appear in his place in the
Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, for the first time since
his illness, and make some statement respecting the new
treaty with England for the suppression of the slave-trade.
It appears, that a meeting of the Opposition had been held at
M. THIERS' house on Sunday, on the subject, when it was re-
solved that no opposition should be made to the grant of
10,000,000 f. for fitting out the preventive fleet. The pass-
ing of the railway Bill from Paris to Avignon, which we
announced yesterday, was adopted by a majority of 230 to 4.
The Committee appointed to examine the Paris and Stras-
burg Railway Bill, and also that for the Tours and Nantes
line, had nearly terminated their labours. The debate on
the Budget was to commence on Monday. No business was
done in the Funds on Sunday at TORTONI'S.

objects and of its machinery. How many a rightful
heir of property has been for ever segregated from so-
ciety and excluded from the enjoyment of that fortune
which others, with no legal or equitable claim to it,
have been enabled to batten upon by the very laws which
should have scared them from approaching it—how
many promising minds have broken down in hopeless
ruin under unfounded imputations upon the sanity which
was never doubted till those unfounded impeachments upon
it worked their own accursed end—how many husbands
have been conveniently incarcerated by wives who had their
own designs to accomplish in pressing onward the facile
preliminaries requisite to secure their legalised removal—
how many wives have been in the same manner rendered
the victims of unprincipled husbands—what fathers and
guardians have driven children and wards into the hope-
less desolation of lunatic confineirent for the most
treacherous and abominable of purposes—how many sons
have stifled the voice of conscience and the recla-
mations of natural instinct, in order to shut out of
the world the fathers whose presence or exist-
ence has become irksome to them or prejudicial
to their interests ;—there are secrets of " asylums"
and "private establishments" at which neither the in-
quisitorial powers of Parliament nor the benevolent
solicitude of philanthropic legislators, like Lord ASHLEY,
can ever arrive. But a great step is achieved towards the
solemn business of human reparation for past wrongs,
so far as human reparation can now be made for them,
—and towards the prevention of their future infliction
to whatever extent human providence and law can
reach—by measures founded on such irrefragable evi-
dence, such ascertained facts, and so wise and enlightened
a scheme of reformation as that for which Lord ASHLEY
has just obtained, we trust, the sanction of a reformed
House of Commons.

Sir ROBERT PEEL last evening laid on the table of
the House of Commons a copy of the treaty just con-
cluded between Great Britain and France for the sup-
pression of the slave trade. On comparing the au-
thenticated document with that which appeared in
The Sun we perceive no material difference, if
we except the period within which the treaty
is to be carried into effect after the respective
squadrons are ready to commence operations. According
to the treaty presented to Parliament that period is
limited to three months, while in the other it was stated
to be six months. There is, however, an appendix to
Article VIII. of some importance, as it contains
instructions for the officers of the two nations
relative to the search of suspected vessels. With
respect to the right of visit and detention of
vessels belonging to nations between whom and Great
Britain there are existing treaties against the slave-
trade, as well as those vessels not entitled to claim the
flag of any nation, there is no alteration ; and except-
ing the vessels of France, the new instructions in no way
interfere with the instructions founded upon the statute
passed in the second and third year of her MAJESTY. But
the commanders of the British ships are not to capture,
visit, or interfere in any way with vessels of France.
This, however, does not apply to the French flag in
every instance ; for, in case the British officer has reason
to believe that a suspected vessel does not belong to the
nation indicated by her colours, he is to hail the vessel, and
drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nationality,
without causing her detention, if weather permit ; but
should he be prevented from so doing by stress of
weather, he is to bring the vessel to, and, incase of neces-
sity, employ force for that purpose, and if she prove
to be a vessel belonging to the nation designated
by her colours, and one which he is not autho-
rised to search, he is t 3 lose no time in
quitting her. Of course, in cases where the suspicion
is well founded, the commander of her MAJESTY'S
cruiser is to deal with her as he would have been autho-
rised and required to do had she not hoisted a false
flag. This clause of the appendix is important, and we
therefore give the principal instructions on that point
from the authenticated document :
" When from intel'igence which the officer commanding her
Majesty's cruiser may have received, or from the manoeuvres of
the vessel, or other sufficient cause, he may have reason to believe
that the vessel does not belong to the nation indicated by her colours,
he is, if the state of the weather will admit of it, to go ahead of
the suspected vessel, after communicating his intention by hailing,
and to drop a boat on, board of her to ascertain her nation-
ality, without causing her detention, in the event of her really
proving to be a vessel of the nation the colours of which she
has displayed, and therefore one which he is not authorised
to search ; but, should the strength of the wind, or other
circumstance, render such mode of visiting the stranger im.
practicable, he is to require the suspected vessel to be brought
to, in order that 'tier nationality may be ascertained ; and he
will be justified in enforcing it, if necessary—understanding
always, that he is not to resort to any coercive measure
until every other shall have failed ; and the officer who
boards the stranger is to be instructed merely, in the first instance,
to satisfy himself by the vessel's papers, or other proof, of her na.
tionality and if she prove really to be a vessel of the nation de-
signated by her colours, and one which he is not authorised to search,
he is to lose no time in quitting her, offering to note on the papers
of the vessel the cause of his having suspected her nationality, as
well as thenumber of minutes the vessel was detained (if detained
at all) for the object in question ; such notation to be signed by
the boarding officer, specifying his rank and the name of her Ma-
jest)'s cruiser ; and whether the commander of the visited vessel
consents to such notation on the vessel's papers or not (and it is not
to be doue without his consent) ; all the said particulars are to
be
immediately inserted in the log-book of her Majesty's cruiser, and
a full and complete statement of the circumstances is to be sent,
addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty."

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 2d inst. Only
I two journals were published on that day, the official
Gazette and the Beraldo—all the others having been
either seized or prohibited by the authorities. The
Esperanza, a Carlist paper, was about to publish
a supplement with the documents relative to the
abdication of Don CARLos, but this was forbid-
den by the political chief, and the paper conse-
quently did not appear. The Herald°, the Govern-
ment organ, disapproves of the proceeding, as the docu-
ments could have produced no effect whatever on the
Spanish nation ; and with much gravity infers that the
marriage of the QUEEN to the Prince of ASTURIAS
cannot for a moment be entertained. Don CARLOS
and reform are incompatible. " Such a union,"
it says," is opposed by the national interest, the dignity
of the throne, exalted and powerful State considera-
tions ; by the blood of thousands of victims, and by
justice and right—it would he a public calamity :it
would be equivalent to the proclamation of the cause of
absolutism and deprive the QUEEN of her inheritance by
at once destroying the result of so many years of a san-
guinary struggle." Such language is indeed a mockery
at the moment when all the independent journals are
suppressed by acts which even absolutism hardly ever
ventured to commit. The inhabitants of the capital
have, in consequence of this news and the arbitrary and
mysterious proceedings of NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA,
been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and
alarm. The Three per Cents. had fallen one per cent.,
speculations on the Bourse had been carried on to a
most extraordinary extent, and a revulsion had taken
place bringing ruin on many persons of all ranks. Every
day the financial crisisbecomes more certain, and with that
possibly another revolution. Some desperate scheme
has been resolved upon by the Camarilla, which will
probably be disclosed at Barcelona. The QUEEN on the
31st of May was still at Valencia.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
DUKE OF BItUNSWICK V. 111ILNER.--LIREL.,
Mr. Sergeant ByLas, with whom was Mr. Wordsworth, on the
part of the defendant, the publisher of the Lancaster Guardian,
moved the Ccurt for a rule to show cause why there should not be
a new inquiry and assessment of damages in this case, on thetrtund
of excessive damages. The facts of this case have already appeared
before the public. The action was brought by the plaintiff against
the defendant far the publication of a certain libellous paragraph,
contained in the Lancaster Guardian of the month of September,
1842, headed " An awkward Mistake," in which paragraph it was
asserted that his Serene Highness had been taken into custody at
Preston, on suspicion of being one of the swell mob, and
connected with a robbery that had taken place the day
before. The paragraph, it was admitted, was a mere fiction
and a fabrication from beginning to end. An apology, on
the facts becoming known to the editor, was published
in a subsequent number of the paper. The Learned Sergeant
grounded his application on two distinct points—first, that it was
manifest that the plaintiff could not have sustained any damage by
the insertion of the paragraph in question, and which was ad.
mitted to be libellous; and secondly, that the Under-Sheriff; before
whom the case was tried during the last week, when the jury gave
a verdict for 2001. damages (a report of which appeared in The Sus
of Thursday last), improperly permitted the Duke of Brunswick,
who conducted his case in person, to introduce matter wholly
irrelevant to the inquiry, and which tended to create
a sympathy in the minds of the jury, and although the Counsel for
the defendant objected thereto, and he admitted the Under-Sheriff
had interposed, yet such matter had been allowed to be stated that
rendered such interposition useless; and also that the deftndant
was not allowed to give in evidence the apology inserted by him in
the Lancaster Guardian.
After some considerable discussion on the part of the Bench,
The CRIEF JUSTICE said the Court felt no difficifity in disposing
of the present case. They had a right to supp';se that all was done
by the Learned Counsel for the defendant that was necessary to
prevent any irrelevant and improper matter going before the jury.
The Court had no scales by which to assess the amount of damages
in such a case ; it was ckarly in the province of the jury, unless the
amount of damages was so enormous as to be against ordinary corn.
mon sense. He (the Learned Judge) was not prepared to say that
the amount awarded was too much in the present case, looking at
the natu2e of the paragraph, which, at all events, tended to place
the ,-,laintiff In a degraded and ridiculous position without one
paxticle of truth, the whole being a mere fiction.—Rule refused.
SHERIFFS' COURT.-{THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff fluacama..)
EDWARDS V. BRALEY.
The jury were sworn in at ten o'clock, but no attorneys were
present. At a quarter past ten the Under-Sheriff took his seat,
and the above case was called on.
The plaintiff was stated to be a lodging-house keeper in Arun.
del-street in the Strand, and the defendant a barrister, and the
claim was for 81. lls., for lodging, washing, &c., for a lady. The
defendant objected to sundry extras, which he contended, ought not
have been charged, and paid 71. 10s. into Court. It was con.
tended by the Counsel for the plaintiff that the extras
were usual, as would be proved by witnesses. The particular
barges objected to did not transpire. The claim consisted of
charges for shoe cleaning, "lights," " firing," "kitchen fire,"
c' castors" (cruet), and 1/. for the occasional use of the drawing.
room during a month.
Witnesses being called, but not being in attendance, the Under.
Sheriff suggested that the recold should be withdrawn.
Mr. MILLER, for the plaintiff, after some time, called one, and
said, probably the other would soon arrive. A witness was then
called into the box, and said he knew nothing of the matter.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.

This was an action toHETHERINGTON

rent of stabling at
New Cross, Deptford. The defendants pleaded payment and set
off: The agreement for the letting of the stables appeared to be
with Heath, but the names of Heath and Jones were both on the
omnibuses, and the horses were put in the stables. The
only evidence to show that Jones himself had any con.
trol over the business was by " blowing up" the ostlers.
The plaintiff's son admitted that be rode occasionally
on the step behind the omnibus, but never inside, and plaintiff
sometimes rode in that manner, or on the box. There was a gene.
ral complaint of persons riding for nothing, but Heath said he did
not object to plaintiff being picked up on the journey. " Way-bills"
are kept for omnibuses, with the number and names of contract
passengers. Credit was frequently given, and their names were
put on the list if the master gave credit. Plaintiff's name
was never on the way-bill, he was not a " payable "
passenger ; there were so many non-payable once that
it " knocked up the concern ;" non.payable customers were
those who stood a " drain" to the coachman and conductor,__
(Laughter.) The plaintiff was now charged eleven guineas for his
rides. For Jones, it was contended that the defendants being
partners, did not make him liable under a contract with Heath.
The UIVDER-SWERIFF said it was a question for the jury whether
there had been occupation by both.—Verdict for the plaintiff for
71. 12s.

Accounts to the 6th February, inclusive, have been re-
ceived from Sydney. The only item of news contained in
them is an account, under date of the 21st of Ja-
nuary, of another affair in New Zealand. A large
party of natives had attacked, in the night-time,
the European settlers at Matakaina, near the capi-
tal of the colony, and after ill-using them, plundered
the cottages, and destroyed even the whale boats on the
shore. A proclamation had been issued by Governor Fitzroy,
offering a reward for the apprehension of the perpetrators.
The Funds have been very dull again to-day, and are con-
sequently rather heavy. Consols are 98% to 99 for the
opening; New Three and a Quarter per Cents. have been 102
to 102%; Exchequer-bills have been 60s. to 61s. premium.
The Foreign Market is also flat, and the speculators are
nearly all absent at Ascot. Spanish Five per Cents. are 283/4
to 29 ; and the Three per Cents., 41% 1/2. Portuguese Con-
verted are 67 to 1/2. Mexican realise 371/2 to %. Dutch
Four per Cents. are 9ilA to 1/2.
In Shares there is less doing than for some time past.
Prices, however, have varied but litte, though in a few in-
stances lower.
