site came into office as not to be of any avail—("hear," and
laughter.) Since the noble lord had held the reins of power as
foreign minister to the crown, the character and reputation of
this country had gone down with foreign states to an irnmea-
sureable extent. To destroy the national power of Spain in the
person of Don Carlos was impossible; it was in vain to at-
tempt it. And when he (Mr. G. Price) saw the treasure of this
coo utry wasted, and its honour spoiled in the effort, he could
only thank Gon that he had no hand in it.
Lord PA LmEitsToN said that the debate had something of the
desultory character attributed to the war in Spain; because
if the Carlists scampered from province to province, as had
been described, honourable members were no less discursive in
the various topics which they touched on during its continu-
ance. While hon. members, however, were so employed, the
government stood with their treasury empty, anxiously waiting
for a supply—(laughter). If he were to consult his own con-
venience, and perhaps the wish of the house, he should decline
entering at all into a discussion on the subject; but as the hon.
and learned member who brought forward the motion was not
without some reason anxious for an opportunity of bringing the
subject under notice, because he might very shortly be wanted
elsewhere to account to his English constituents for the part he
had taken with respect to his Carlist constituents, he (Lord
Palmerston) thought it was only right and fitting to make some
observations in reply to his statements. The hon. and learned
gentleman contended that the government had not complied
with the quadruple treaty, but had gone beyond it by render-
ing assistance without its limits. He had also contended that
that treaty did not expel Don Carlos from Spain. These asser-
tions, he (Lord Palmerston) denied altogether. The ob-
ject of the quadruple treaty was the pacification of the
Peninsula—that was the fundamental basis of it. At the time
it was concluded, Don Carlos was in Portugal, and it was only
subsequently that he passed through England to the northern
provinces of Spain. The treaty did not, of course expel
him from Spain, because he was not in it then ; but as
the pacification of the country was its object, there could
be no doubt that his expulsion came within its true inter-
pretation. The treaty was to furnish the Queen with arms
and ammunition. That had been done—no more. ("Hear.")
The hon. gentleman had asked, was this country at peace or
was it at war? That was a question so often asked and so often
answered, that he (Lord Palmerston) might he well excused
from answering it once more, especially as every hon. gentleman
who knew anything of the subject possessed equal means as he
did of doing so. All who were acquainted with the principles
of international law should be aware that one state might aid
another and yet not be at war with those who supported its op-
ponent. England was an auxiliary in this quarrel, and not a
principal; therefore she could not be at war. Besides, a decla-
ration of war against Don Carlos could not take place, because
he had no power. He was only an individual at the head of a
body of troops in rebellion against his sovereign—a mere pre-
tender to a throne, which he never possessed, and to a country
to which he bad no right—carrying civil war into the heart of a
peaceful land, and devastating the fairest portion of it with fire
and sword. The position of England was therefore one taken
in support of civil order, and having for its end the peace,
happiness, and tranquility of Spain.
Mr. Mc. CLEAN explained.
The house then went into a committee of supply.
The house afterwards resumed, and the other orders of the
day were disposed of. Adjourned at half-pact one o'clock.

Lord WHA ItNCLIFFE said that he could see no reason for
agreeing to the measure now proposed. It was a curious fact
that the title of this bill was, " A Bill for shortening the Time
of taking the Polls at County Elections," whereas, upon refer-
ence to the preamble, it would be found that there was no alle-
gation as to the inconvenience of the present mode of taking
the polls, but that there was an allegation as to the necessity of
increasing the number of polling places. Now, for his own
part, he really did not understand that there was any inconve-
nience in the present practice; but he confessed that he did not
look upon the mode proposed as equally free from that charge.
There were two objects in the bill—one to increase the number
of polling places, the other to shorten the time for polling.
Now, suppose the house was to agree to enter upon the consi.
deration of the first of those objects, but was to reject the last
clause of the bill, which provided for the other object, what
must they do with the other bill after that? The title must be
wholly altered; it would no longer be a bill for shortening the
time of taking polls • but it would be a bill for increasing the
nnmber of polling places. He confessed that he could not but
look with jealousy at this bill. It was a bill that went to give
an advantage to the voters in towns over those of the agricul-
tural districts, and it did appear to him to be an attempt, by a
side wind, to get rid of the Marquis of Chandos'sxlause in the
reform bill. In the first place, the voters in the rural districts
were farmers. Now, suppose the poll was to be limited to one
day, and it happened that a neighbouring fair was held upon
that one day, the extreme inconvenience to the farmer was evi-
dent. Again, in county elections, there was an absolute neces-
sity for some conveyance, and that very necessity would ren-
der it in the power of any candidate altogether to prevent the
electors from exercising their franchise, supposing the proposed
limitation of the time to take place. Such means had been re-
sorted to. But there was stilt another objection. The return-
ing officer would be in the central part of the county; the poll-
ing- places and the deputies would be at a distancsi, Suppose a
riot shall take place, he wouid be glad to know Whether it was
advisable that the whole proceedings should be closed at five
o'clock upon that day in all cases but those in which the riot
proceeds to such an extent as to induce the officer to prevent the
poll from proceeding. As to the other part of the bill, for in-
creasing the number of polling places, he thought that the
power should not be given to the privy council; they ought to
proceed exactly as they had done with the boundary bill.
(Cheers.) But if they consented to the principle of that part of
the measure, but did not consent to shorten the duration of the
time for taking the polls, what would the House of Commons
think of the measure when it was returned to them—a bill for
increasing the number of polling places, they having sent it to
that house a bill for shortening the time for the taking of polls ?
Under these circumstances he was inclined to think that the
better course would be not to enter upon the measure, and h e
would accordingly move that it be read a second time that day
three months.

The British and Foreign Review; or European Quar-
terly Journal. London, James Ridgway and Son,
Piccadilly.
The present number of this review contains a mass of
valuable information on most of the leading political
topics of the day. The first is a history of the Nether-
lands, which embodies an essay on the Belgian revolution.
A clever article on the empire of the Romish Church suc-
ceeds. An article on the Polish revolution of 1830 and
1831, and its war of independence, is spiritedly written,
and contains much valuable information. The appalling
acts of tyranny of the Czar there set forth, and the ac-
counts
of his edicts, make the reader shudder, and fully
entitle the autocrat to the title of " the Herod of thel
North." This is followed by an article on the Spanish
revolution, the first part of which gives an insight into
the literature and manners of the Spaniards, and follows
with an account of the revolution and a biographical
sketch of some of the principal leaders of the present and
late Spanish ministry, wound up with a history of the
revolution. An article on " The History of Painting,"
one " On the State and Prospects of Parties in France,"
and one on " Ecclesiastical Reform" complete the vo-
lume.
Though this is a new publication, the talent and
utility of its essays cannot fail to bring it into extensive
circulation.

JEWISH DISABILITIES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second
reading of the bill for the removal of the Jewish disabilities.
Sir R. INGLIS opposed the motion, and moved as an amend-
ment that the bill be read a second time that day three months.
Colonel SIBTHORP expressed his astonishment that so impor-
tant and unchristianizing a bill should be pressed forward by a
minister of the crown in an empty house; there were literally
empty benches. He therefore deemed it to be his duty to move
that the house be counted.

posed by Mr. Forster, Mr. A. Trevor, Mr. Finch, Mr. Hardy,
and Mr. Borthwick. On a division, the numbers were—Ayes,
39; Noes, 22; Majority, 17. The bill was then read a second
time.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY.
The Duke of RICH AION D presented the report of the com-
mittee on the London and Brighton Railway Bill. In doing
so, he felt bound to bring before the house the conduct of the
committee. Early in the session the bill for Stephenson's line
was laid on the table of the House of Commons. It had been
fully debated there. It had been referred to a committee with
other competing lines. That committee had sat 52 days, and
the bill was passed in the commons. The bill having been
brought here, it had been also referred, and the committee had
sat hearing witnesses upon it for 18 days; at last the committee
had come to a resolution, that it was not expedient to proceed
further with the bill this session. The expense of this proceeding
had been nearly £100,000., and the result could not fail to act
as a monstrous hardship on the speculators. Such a result of
the committee was calculated greatly to injure the speculating
character of the country, and to do more to destroy their lord-
ship's house than any thing that could take place. He moved
that the report be received.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND did not think there were two
peers on the committee who could form a judgment which of the
four lines would be the best. The committee had postponed
further proceedings, in the hope that by next session a line might
be devised which might be agreeable to all parties.

Lord H ATHERTON said that he had not expected any opposi-
tion in that stage of the measure in favour of which the House
of Commons had expressed a strong opinion, though undoubted-
ly their lordships had the privilege of interfering with that as
with any other measure sent up to them. As to the practicabi-
lity of this measure, he could tell their lordships that in 1832
thirty-four counties polled upon the first day 115,142, and upon
the second day only `25,122; and he was confident that if only
one day were allowed that would be sufficient time to record
every vote. . _

Tile Marquis of SALISBURY said that he was not, perhaps, so
well acquainted with the constituencies of counties as the noble
baron ; but if he could judge from the communications which
he had himself received upon the subject he must say that very
material objections were entertained by many persons to any
extension in the number of polling places, which he was afraid
would considerably increase the expenses. The limitation of
the polls to one day would, it appeared to him, be an actual
premium upon riot ; and he therefore fully concurred in the
motion of his noble friend.

The Duke of RICHMOND said it was undoubtedly most de-
sirable that those scenes which took place at all contested elec-
tions should be as short as possible—that the scenes of drun-
kenness and riot, quarrelling and fighting, should be confined
to one day, and one day only. There were some of the de-
tails of the bill with which he did not agree; he would, how-
ever, vote for the second reading, hoping that these might be
altered in committee.

CONFERENCE.
The debate was stopped by a message from the House of
Commons, brought by Lord J. Russell and others, requesting a
conference with their lordships on the amendments to the act
for the commutation of tithes in England and Wales.
The conference was agreed to, and ordered to be held imme-
diately.
On the return of the managers, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE
reported that they had had a conference with the commons,
which was conducted by Lord J. Russell and others. The noble
marquis then read the amendments made by the commons to the
lords' amendments, and which were ordered to be printed.
The debate on the Brighton railway was then resumed.
The Duke of RICHMOND said, that Mr. Stephenson, in his
opinion, had been hardly treated, and it was time the House of
Lords put a stop to its committees taking such unwarrantable
liberties as to report without assigning any reasons for the re-
port. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the bill be recommitted.
After a long discussion the house divided, when the numbers
were—for the Duke of Richmond's motion, 42 ; against it 44;
majority 2. The bill is therefore lost for the present.
STAFFORD DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of
the bill for disfranchising the burgesses of Stafford.
The Earl of DEVON opposed it, and moved as an amend-
ment that it be read a second time that day three months.
The amendment was carried ; there being—for the bill 22 ;
for the amendment 38. Bill lost.
The second reading of the charitable trusts bill was then con-
sidered at some length.
- The Duke of WELLINGTON moved an amendment, that it be
deferred till that day three months.
Lord MELBOURNE thought that there was no ground for de-
laying the bill.
-Their lordships divided. The numbers were—for the motion
22; for the amendment 39;—majority against the hiil 17.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of
the Roman Catholic marriages (Ireland) bill.
The Archbishop of ARMAGH opposed it, and moved that it
be read a second time that day three months.
The house divided. The numbers were—for the second
reading 19 ; for the amendment 39 ;—majority for the amend-
ment 20.
The report of the Established Church bill was presented and
agreed to.
On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE, the marriages bill was
read a third time and passed.
The Marquis of SALISBURY presented the report on the
steam carriages bill.
It was ordered to lie on the table. The house adjourned at
half past eleven.

The Earl of FALMOUTH said there could be no doubt as to
their lordships' right to interfere with this or any other mea-
sure; and most fortunate was it that their lordships had that
constitutional right, for when they saw the motions which were
placed upon the order book of the House of Commons with re-
spect to their lordships' house no man who loved the constitu-
tion could regret that the consent of that house to those mea-
sures was constitutionally necessary. (Hear.) As to increas-
ing the number of polling places, he doubted exceedingly
whether that would save any expense. In the present times
there were some gentlemen who appeared to desire to verify the
saying, "that it never rains but it pours"—(laughter)—for
they were not contented with the good they had already re-
ceived—and he did consider the increase in the polling places
to its present extent one of the best provisions of the reform
bill—but they now wanted that ultra-multiplication of polling
places which was proposed by the present bill.
Lord -WHARNCLIFFE explained. He was not anxious to
press his motion if the noble viscount were willing to give up
the one subject of the bill—the limitation of the poll to one day
—to which they objected, for the sake of preserving the other
object, to which they were not on principle opposed.
Lord MELBOURNE said that undoubtedly he did consider the
first part so important that he should be ready to sacrifice the
latter part in order to obtain it. He must confess, however,
that he thought noble lords opposite were in the habit, of late,
of considering all measures as directed against their personal
interests—(hear, and laughter)—as if the object of every mea-
sure was to overthrow their power; so that they looked at the
measures whilst under the operation of fear and terror—(laugh-
ter)—aud it was known that persons under the influence of
such feelings were not generally very clear sighted—(renewed
laughter, and hear, hear)—and he thought that was the case
with regard to the present bill.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that they would have, then, to
draw largely upon the memory of the noble baron (Lord Ha-
therton,) as it would be expedient that the polling places should
be specifically named.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE begged, upon that understanding, to
withdraw the amendment.

After a few words from the Marquis of Salisbury,
Lord LYNDHURST said if they struck out the last clause they
must strike out also the title of the bill.

MONDAY, AUGUST B.—Noon, Wind N.E.—Fair.

Lord HOLLAND did not see why this could not be done. By
increasing the number of polling places they would shorten the
duration of polls.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on Monday.
The established church bill was read a third time and passed,
the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Wellington, and the
Bishop of Hereford having severally offered a few observations.
The Scottish small debt courts' bill was thrown out, without
a division, in consequence of objections urged by the Marquis
of Bute and the Earl of Haddington, that it did not give to ma-
gistrates a jurisdiction concurrent with that of the sheriff.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.
LONDON UNIVERSITY.
Mr. HUME wished to know when the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer thought he should be able to lay on the table of the
house the charter for a metropolitan university.
Mr. S. RICE said he should do so without delay, and he hoped
it would be of such a nature as would satisfy the just expectations
of those who had so long looked forward to the subject with
anxiety.
Lord CLIVE moved an address to his Majesty, praying that
he would be graciously pleased to order surveys of such roads
and harbours as might be thought available for promoting a more
speedy communication between England and Ireland.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER saw no necessity for the
address proposed by the noble lord; the subject, which was a most
important one, was under the consideration of the government.
After some further discussion, the motion was withdrawn.
POSTOFFICE COMMISSIONERS' BILL.
The report of the committee on this bill was brought up.
Colonel SiartioEP thought that the proposed arrangements
would be the reverse of economical. He moved that clause 5,
appointing commissioners, be omitted.—After some conver-
sation, the house divided—For the clause, 63; for the amend-
ment, 16; majority in favour of the clause, 53.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to a question put by Mr. Charlton,
said the amendments of the lords to the municipal corporation
act amendment bill would be taken into consideration next day.
REGISTRATION OF VOTERS' BILL.
On the report of this bill being brought up, Lord JOHN RUS-
SELL said he had received the names of a number of legal gen-
tlemen qualified to fill the offices of revising barristers, which
list he had submitted to the Attornev-General, the Lord Chan-
cellor, and the learned member for -Huntingdon. The persons
they had selected were of different politics, and the gentlemen
he should then propose were :—The Right Hon. Thos. Erskine
(with the same salary as the other revising barristers,) J. Parker
Fraser, R. Rogers, J. Long, Thomas Robinson, W. M. Praed,
Martin West, Charles O'Grady, W. T. Alexander, J. Reynolds.
Some discussion ensued, principally as to the chief revising
barrister (Mr. Erskine,) but the names were inserted.
On the clause being read, providing that no revising barrister
should practise as a barrister in any court, or hold any other
office under the crown, Mr. C. BULLER objected toanv exception
being made in favourof the chief revising barrister, Mr. Erskine,
and said he would take the sense of the house as to whether the
offices of chief revising barrister and chief judge of bankruptcy
should be vested in one end the same person. Ultimately, how-
ever, he withdrew his amendment, and the original clause was
agreed to, as were the remaining clauses.
The militia ballot suspension bill was read a sec.ind time.—
The gold and silver plate (Scotland) bill was read a third time
and passed.—The ecclesiastical appointment suspension bill
went through a committee.—The Greek loan bill, after a short
discussion, passed through a committee.
Lord MORPETH moved the third reading of the church tem-
poralities (Ireland) bill; but the house was counted out at one
o'clock, there being only thirty-three members present.

Lord MELBOURNE answered that the government had re-
