COUNTY COURTS.

Lord ALTHORP moved the Order of the Day for the third
reading of the County Courts Bill.
The Order of the Day having been read, and the question put
that the Bill be read a third time,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that on a 'Wednes-
day, and in the present state of the House, it would be inconve-
nient to bring on the discussion.
Lend A LTHORP said the discussion was put off till the third
reading, to accommodate the Honourable and Learned Gentleman.
—(Cries of " Go on, go on !")
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should feel it his duty
to move an adjournment, if the Noble Lord pressed his motion.
Air. SCA ItLETT said, he did not approve of the Mil as it nosy
stood. There were certain omissions in the clause of compensation
which would give great dissatisfaction to many persons. It was a
gross injustice to exclude some who were as well entitled to cont-

pensation as others that were included in that clatsse. He knew
one in particular, on whom Lord Ellenborough conferred an office
in the Court of King's Bench, for long and zealous service. His

emolument depended on actions not bailable, and would be com-
pletely taken away by this measure. There were others whom he
would not enumerate. He would submit to his Noble Friend,
whether it would nor be better to postpone the Bill to another Ses-
sion? It went to establish an entirely new jurisdiction, twenty new
Courts, and the same number of Judges.
Lord A LTHORP said he was willing to put off the third reld-
log till Monday ; but after three months labour bestowed on the
Bill, it was rather too Much to expect that he should postpone it till
next Session.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL withdrew his motion for ad-
journment, and thy third reading of the Bill was postponedoto
Monday next.
The Pauper Lunatics Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Chelsea and Greenwich Hospitals Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned till Friday.

The Vice-Chancellor's Court has been closed for some
days past, in consequence of his Honour's indisposition.
It is asserted in the German Papers, that the physi-
cians of the liniperor of Russia have advised hint to the
warm baths this summer, leaving to his Majesty the
option between those in his own empire situate in Mount
Caucasus, and those of Carlsbad, in Bohemia. The Ent-
perm. has, for varicur reasons, preferred the latter. It
' appears that he will set out fur Carlsbad about the end
of June, but will not remain above a month, when he
will return direct to St. Petersburgh. The Emperor of
Austria,. the Kings of Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony, will
go to C.d.sl)ad at t.l)e same time; and no doubt import-
ant polLical questions will be discussed in this new
meeting of the Sovereigns. Count Nesselrode, and
vet al perw:ls I.oding the higher offices in the foreign
lepartment, have rective.l orders to hold themselves in
readiness to set out fur Bohemia.

la a preceding column we have given, from various
r:ivate sources of iatelligence, an azcount tf the recent
events at Lisbon t. and we have this foienoon received
Ckzettes him the 26th of Aptil to the rsth of
:dry inclusive, and contain numerous details on the
übject, %A contribute sumething matt to the eclair-
cicsement of this still myt.:terious affair. Although the
hibia Don Miou;:i, still remains at the head of the
ro9ps, yet it is evident, even from the Lisbon Gazelle,
OA enteri,ri,,e not only failed, but that it incurred
the dipleasure of his MAJESTY. The KINC:, to he sure,

15 IS:W(1 a llccree, in which he praise. the fidelity m
Lis son, who is stated to have acted in the manner he
on account of his " having obtained vehement

rc,umptior, that a fatal conspiracy was carrying on in

secret clubs" the Royal Family, yet his Ma..
3EsTy indirectly censures him. " 1 am pleased," says
" in consequence of the very respectful
supplication which the said Infant, my much beloved
a::d dear son made, in my Royal presence, to excuse
I,im for the acts, beyond the limits of his jurisdiction,
which he did without my Royal authority. After this
icrximand, lenient as it is, we feel surprised that the
Frani should, in his Proclamation to his unov, aisert

that tile KING " approved of all that his Highness had
done for the good of the Nation." It will be seen that
there have been some changes in the Ministry, and that
the reported arrest of Conde SUBSERRA is denied, al-
though it is said he concealed himself. The following
arc the accounts from the Lisbon Papers :

FROM THE GAZETA DE LISBOA, FROM 26TH APRIL TO
THE STH MAY, BOTH INCLUSIVE.
LISBON, APRIL 25.
By recent accounts from Gibraltar, we learn that the
agitation at Bahia continues, all Portuguese being per-
secuted, and expelled from their employments.
APRIL 26.—The 2.5 th being the birth-day of the
Coeen, was celebrated with great festivity.
The King, Don Miguel, and the two Infantas, went to
Onelug, where their Majesties received the compliments
d the Court and the diplomatic body on this occasion.
APRIL 27.—Far some days past various reports have
teen in circulation in this city, some saying that French
troops were expected in this kingdom, others that they
Lad actually entered it: we can boldly contradict these
absurd and malicious impostures; the uuth being that
they have neither entered nor are expected, nor is there
the least appearance or necessity for the entrance of
any foreign troops into Portugal.—(The Gazette con-
cludes, that since the overthrow of a system contrary
to the character of the people, Portugal had been on
the most friendly terms with foreign Powers, and had
enjoyed peace and tranquillity at home, so that such
absurd rumours must proceed rather from a few evil-
minded persons, or some idle individuals, to amuse them-
selves at the expense of the timid and the ignorant).
APRIL 28.—N0 political domestic news.
APRIL 29.—Ditto.
%IAY I.—The Gazette of this date contains the ac-
counts of the events of the 30th April, the proclama-
tions, &c. already published.
MAY 3.—His Majesty has been pleased to confide,
ful interim, the portefeuille of the war department to
his Minister Secretary of State for the Affairs of the
Kingdom, the Most Excellent Jose Antonio de Oliveira
Leite, and that of the Marine and Colonies, to his Mi-
nister Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Most
Excellent Marquis Palmella. His Excellency Conde
(la Povoa remains in the department of the Finances.
We cannot yet give the Supplement which we pro-
mised, relative to the late events, lest we should omit
important circumstances. We will publish it as soon
as possible.
