EDUCATION

THE ATTENTION of Parents desirous of affording to
their Children an Education in accordance' with the
increased: intelligence and the wants of the ag9r is directed
il/
to an Establishment situated in one of the m st fertile and
healthy counties of England, conducted by xentleman who
is a member of a German University of the ghest celebrity,
and of several learned bodies. The Con le of Instruction,
founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the
GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER-
MAN, and ITALIAN LANGUAGES, TAUGHT BY NA-
TIVES RESIDING IN THE HOUSE; the Elements of ASTRO-
NOMY, the various Branches of Pure and Mixed MATHE-
MATICS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, &c. •
Impressed with a conviction that no Education can be
complete without an adequate loowledge of modern Lan-
guages, the Principal has made them an essential branch of
Instruction in his School. Having himself resided many
years on the Continent, and travelled much, he is intimately
acquainted with the chief Languages of Europe, and enabled
to superintend Instruction in this important department of
knowledge with no inconsiderable advantage to his Pupils.
Altogether, this Establishment will be found to afford to
Pupils possessing average talents the certainty of receiving in
it a sound Classical and Mathematical Education, together
with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan-
guages of Europe; so that, on entering one of our Universi-
ties, or some Profession, civil, military, or naval, they may
be competent to engage in more enlarged studies, with un-
usual advantages.

Letters to the Principal of Albion House School, Wor-
cester, will receive immediate attention.

DAILY ATTENDANCE.
AXONS. MALLAN, SURGEON DENTIST, of the firm
of Messrs. JAMES M. and S. MAL N, No. 10, Lud-
gate-hill, London.

FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES.
SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.

4nd Filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral i'uecedanet

Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surgeon Dentists,
respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of
Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Esta-
blishment, permanently, at No. 23, RODNEY-STREET,
opposite Leeee-street, where Mons. Mallan may be consulted
DAILY throughout the year. They continue to fill up the
cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succedaneum,
without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into
the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets
hard, :preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all
further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of
extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a
mere shell into a sound and useful tooth. but by completely
stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant
taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed
tooth.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well-known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and it
is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN have to inform
them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com-
plaint by a single application, with the slightest pain.
Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his
Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN-
CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and with con-
fidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastica•
tion and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest
observer. They never change colour or break, as those now
used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un-
pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose, at fixed
and moderate Charges.

Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Six.
*** For the convenience of country patients, Messrs.
JAMES M. & S. MALLAN are enabled to fix a partial or
complete set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or
inconvenience.
No. 23, Rodney-street, opposite Leece-street.

IMPERIAL WIT.—M. Slade represents the present Empe-
ror of Austria as having, while heir apparent, been guilty of
a witty thing ; the most favourable description we have ever
seen of him. "At a soiree, where question and answer'
was the game, the question was put, ' which is the strongest
part of a man ? ' One gave his opinion for the leg, another
opined for the arm, and so on. When it came to the King of
Hungary's turn to reply, the courtiers were rather uneasy,
knowing his oddness ; but he relieved them by saying that
he considered the nose to be the strongest part of a man.
After the laugh had subsided at this unexpected selection, he
was asked to explain. I think so,' he replied because
Prince Metternich, as you know, has led my father by the
nose for twenty years, and yet the nose is as good as ever.' "
DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.—The following shocking narrative
is published by the Droit :—" M. C. was formerly at the
head of a commercial house of considerable importance, but,
having failed in business, became reduced to take a situation
as shopman. He lived with his wife, a woman of good family,
his daughter, aged 16, and three sons, all younger. Madame
C. received assistance from her father ; but he resisted all
her importunities to place her daughter in a boarding-school,
and give her a superior education, alleging that it would be
inconsistent to bring the girl up as a lady, while her brothers
were obliged to earn their own living as journeymen. Ma-
demoiselle C. was, in fact, sent out as an apprentice ; but her
mother, during an absence of M. C. sent for her home on
Saturday last, loaded her with caresses, and then sent her
back again to her business. In the evening the mother re-
tired with her three sons to their chamber, put them to bed,
and after fastening the door and writing several letters,
lighted several braziers of charcoal, and seating herself at the
foot of the bed in which her sons were all asleep, patiently
waited for death to come upon them all. On Sunday M. C.
returned, and not finding his wife and children stirring, but
their chamber closed, had it broken open, and found their
corpses. Madame C. was still at the foot of the bed, with
her hands clasped as if in prayer ; but the boys, from the po-
sition of their arms and their clenched hands, had evidently
suffered great agonies. Two of them had left their bed, and
dragged themselves towards their mother. Among the let-
ters. was one by Madame C. to her father, entreating him
most affecting terms to continue the education of her slaugh-
ter, as by the death of herself and her three sons he was re-
lieved from a heavier burden." Yesterday afternoon the
Rue du Petit Carreau, in which this unfortunate family re-
sided, was crowded with people to view the mournful pro-
cession of three hearses hung with white, in which were the
coffins of the three boys, followed by a fourth with black
drapery, bearing the remains of their infatuated mother to
the cemetery.— Galignani Messenger.
PAST AND PRESENT PAY OF VLAYERS.—JOhII Kemble,
for acting and managing, had a weekly salary of £36 ; Miss
O'Neils salary, at the beginning of her brilliant career, was
£35, and never exceeded £25 per week; George Cooke
(greativ attractive) had £2O per week kw
Mrs. Jordan's
salary, in the zenith of her popularity, was £3l 10s. per
week ; Mr. Charles Kemble, until he became his own
manager, never had more than £2O per week ; Dowton had
£l2, and never more than £2O per week. Up to 1822 (and
greater part of her career to that period she was
during the
highly attractive), Miss Stephens, the present Dowager
Countess of Essex, had £2O per week ; but in the following
season at Drury-lane she was paid at the rate of £6O per
183 2,
we ke. In 1822, Mr. Macready had £2O per week; and in
and up to 1837 (barring an interregnum alluded to in a
preceding chapter), he had £3O per week ; and in 1839, he
had the modesty to demand and to receive £25 per night. In
1832, Mr. Power had £2O ; he is now, and for some time
past has been, in the receipt of £l2O per week. In 1822,
Mr. Farren had £l6 per week ; in 1832, £3O per week, and
at present receives £4O per week. In 1822, Mr. Liston had
£l7 per week ; he then sprung up to £5O and £6O per week,
and finally had £2O per night. Miss Ellen Tree, when en-
gaged with me to play at both theatres, and eventually
tonelrye
at one, had £l5 per week : she went to America, stayed
two seasons, and returned to stipulate for and to recive £25
per night. * * * * * Then, to think while such actors
as Emery had 412 per week, Incledon £l2. John Bannister
£lB, H. Johnston £lO, &c. that Bartley should ever have
had £2O per week—that Templeton, who had £6, should now
demand £3O, and refuse £2s—that Harley should have had
£2O, Cooper £lB, &c.—is enough to astonish and make one
downright sick.—Bunn' a The Stage.

COMING EVENT.—The well-informed court correspond-
ent of the Cheltenham Looker-on says: " It is whispered,
though with an air of the greatest mystery, and with a
secrecy such as exists only among " maids of honour," that
her Majesty's accouchment may be expected about the first
week in December.

COWES.—Since the Earl of Durham arrived here, his
health has been gradually improving, and he is beyond all
question decidedly better. Lady Durham, who on her land-
ing from Dover, from being up all night andthe effects of the
voyage, looked as ill as if she bad just left a sick bed, is now
quite recovered.

LOUGH CORRIB. —The closing in of the Wood Quay and
Terreyland embankment, and sinking of the Terryfand river,
has had the effect of draining off the water as far as Castle-
gar and that neighbourhood, adding a plain two and a half
miles in length to the suburbs of Galway.—Mayo Tele.oraph
From the experience had, there seems very little doubt but
that wood pavements will come into general use in the capi-
tal and all great towns. The easiness of draught, the ab-
sence of noise, the exceedingly small quantity of wear and
tear, give it a superiority over every kind of paving yet used
for carriage roads.

HANOVER, JUNE 24.—Dr. Graefe has arrived from Berlin,
and it is positively affirmed that he will certainly perform the
operation on the eyes of the Crown Prince. His Royal
Highness has decidedly expressed his resolution to submit to
the operation now. Some apartments in the prince's sum-
mer residence (George's Park), have been assigned to Dr.
Graefe during his stay here.
LARGE STEAMER.—Where the wonders of steam are to
stop no one can determine. The same day which saw the
Archimedes pass the quays of Greenock also witnessed the
first trial of the Achilles, previous to her taking her place on
the station for which she had been built, between the Clyde
and Liverpool. This splendid ship, built by Messrs. Steele
and Co., of this port, is about 1000 tons burden, and has en-
gines, by Messrs. Caird and Co., also of Greenock, of larger
size than the Great Western. Although the day was unfa-
vourable, blowing a gale, the speed of the ship was between
fourteen and fifteen miles an hour through the water. This
extraordinary speed was accomplished by the engines, which
have a stroke of seven feet, making nineteen and twenty re-
volutions per minute with the greatest readiness.—Greenock
Advertiser.

THE SEASON.—THE WEATHER.—We greatly lament to
say that the weather has just set in in these parts with an
aspect most unfavourable. Boisterous winds accompanied
by drenching rains have prevailed for several days, and
certainly the visitation could not have arrived at a more un-
lucky moment. The hay. season having commenced, the
grass in many places is lying about awaiting the return of
fine weather, so that all is for the presentthia aryaeta,

but let us nevertheless firmly trust to the goodness and mercy
of Providence for relief in due time.—Lancaster Gazette.
Ciii N ESE SQUADRON.—The following men-of-war com-
pose the squadron that is to be employed in the operations
against the Chinese, under the command of Admiral the
Hon. G. Elliott :—Algerine 10, Alligator 26, Blenheim 74,
Blonde 42, Childers 16, Columbine 18, Conway 26, Cruizer
16, Druid 44, Favourite 18, Herald 26, Hyacinth 18, Larne
18, Melville 74, Modeste 18; Nimrod 20, Perolus 16, Pylades
18, Volage 26, Wanderer, 'Wellesley 74. Two large war-
steamers of the East India Company service, the Queen and
Sesostris, and several other steamers from Bombay and Cal-
cutta, were to be added to the above force, nearly the whole
of which were to proceed to China.
CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.—Dr. Bellinaye has published
in The Times an account of an Austrian schoolmaster having
discovered a remedy for this appalling disease, which has
been examined by the government, and, as far as the experi-
ments have gone, proved to be successful. The medicine
is Gentiana Cruciata, taken internally in doses proportioned
to the violence of the malady ; but there is also a surgical
lancing of the frtenum under the tongue, where the distem-
per first exhibits itself. The discharge of a viscous yellow
matter is said to be essential to the cure; which is, however,
effected after the most dreadful symptoms.

A PENNYWORTH: OF PEACE!—And what that is, any
body in Lancashire can tell you; and if you be not in Lan-
cashire, I can : it is laudanum or opium disguised in treacle,
and termed, in other places, " Godfrey's Cordial." It is i
vain to remonstrate with the poor on this practice— ey
always ask you what they are to do, and thirikit u • swer-
able to add, "A. pen'oth of peace is worth a peri ' Thus
are the constitutions of the poor sapped and s pefied even
in the cradle, and all the wisdom of England cVnot point

can never yet have heard of the far-f d chester medi-

and, indeed, we believe, in any part f the United Kingdom.
For it is an indisputable fact, that, since the commencement
of the present year, its sale (extensive as it has been for the
last half century) has increased beyond all former precedent.
It were almost superfluous to add, that we allude to that
nice and inestimable preparation, ATKINSON'S INFANTS'
PRESERVATIVE, which so far from " sapping the constitu-
tion," and " stupefying " the senses—like those dangerous
compounds, whose basis is laudanum or other opiates—allays
irritation, and assuages pain in the mildest and most innox-
ious manner ; thus affording real comfort, both to the anxious
mother and her suffering babe.

• HOUSE OF LORDS.--THURspAY,
Lord HknowicirE gave notice, that on Tuesday, upon the
motion for a committee upon the Canada government bill, he
should move that it be committed that day six months.
The timber ships' bill was read a second time, and the
church discipline bill having passed through committee, with
some amendments, Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition

3f church and state, as the only means of in-
pendence of the former. • _

kDALBANE, in reference to his motion for hearing
ie bar against Lord Aberdeen's bill for regu-
esentatidn to Scotch benefices, requested that
urther consideration of the measure might be postponed
until counsel might he properly instructed.
Lord MELBOURNE thought that all legislation on the

subject would be pernicious while the public mind was so
much excited as at present. The proceedings on either side
bad sprung entirely out of the question of patronage, on
which the Church of Scotland had been divided for upwards
of a hundred years. If the bill were intended to put an end
to this schism, it had come a century too late.

Lord HADDINGTON remarked upon the tacit refusal of

;nt into committee, and the several clauses of the bill were

agreed to.
A conversation then ensued upon a motion brought forward
by Lord WESTMEATH, the consideration of which was ulti-
mately postponed, and Lord MoNsoN having withdrawn his
motion for the third reading of the payment of wages bill,
the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.
WEAVER CHURCHES.
On the order of the day being moved for the third reading
the Weaver Churches Bill,
Mr. THORNELY moved, as an amendment, that a select
unmittee be appointed to inquire into the state of the River
leaver and Weston Canal, and of the quantity and descrip-
on of traffic the'"•• •• • tr

A, and the application thereof, with a view to ascertain
sat reduction of toll could be made for the benefit of the
public, and to report thereon to the house, and that the
Weaver Churches Bill be not proceeded with until the com-
mittee had made its report. The hon. member, at some
length, went into particulars connected with the navigation
River Weaver, and contended• that further inquiry
necessary before the house passed a bill authorising the
.iilding of new churches from the accumulated funds. He
trusted the house would agree to the appointment of a com-

Mr. T. EGERTON opposed the motion, the effect of which,
f agreed to, would be, at this period of the session, to post-

pone the bill for another year.
Mr. Hu ME considered the principle of this bill applied to
very county in the kingdom. and it was one of great im-
,rtance ; therefore he trusted the house would agree to the
•ndment of the hon. member for Wolverhampton. The
;as making a dangerous precedent for the misapplica-
tion of funds belonging to public bodies.
Mr. HINDLEY said the public had a right to demand a

niate fun"

.is, and therefore the nouse (Jug.,
,is in the manner proposed. If a select
committee were appointed, he should move a clause to lower
the tonnage duty from Is. to 10d.
Mr. J. JERVIS trusted the debate would be adjourned, as
he had prepared some new clauses, but could not then use
them, as he had not given the required technical notice in
the Private Bill Office. He hoped, therefore, the hon. ba-
ronet who had charge of the bill would consent to postpone
the debate to a future day. (Cries of " No, no, no.") If
that course was not acceded to, he would avail himself of all
the forms the house allowed, by moving adjournments, if
necessary, until that time to-morrow. (Hear.) He should
not be deterred from doing his duty, and therefore moved,
that the debate be now adjourned until Monday next.
Mr. WILBRAHAM seconded the motion for adjournment
of the debate.

Sir P.'EGEwro:g said the course proposed by the hon.
member for Chester was unprecedented. (Hear.)
Mr. HOIIHOUSE considered the bill before the house
ought not to pass into a law. He cordially agreed with the
hon. member for Wolverhampton that it ought to be re-
ferred to a select committee. He should support the motion
for adjourning the debate ; and if that was lost, he should
then vote for other-amendments. (Hear.) It was abso-
lutely necessary that further time should be allowed to con-

iider the case.
Mr. T. S. DIINCOMBE considered it was a very reasonable
.eauest to ask for a postponement of the debate for a day or

T. EGERTON thought the proper course for the house

en there appeared—

it G. GREY hoped the bill would be allowed a third read-
, and then, if the question that the bill do pass be post-
Led for a short time, the clauses might be brought up and
sidered. _ •

After a few observations from Lord STANLEY, Mr.
nioRNELY, and Si! .1. GRAHAM,
Mr. J. JERVIS withdrew his amendment.
Mr. THORNELY said he should take the sense of the house
- ' I—id proposed, for referring the bill to

a OGIGS., %,•.•
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place. After some time. the gallery was re-opened ; and
Mr. JERVIS in a very. excited tone was complaining of a
noble lord dealing in insinuations as to matters which he bad
'le courage to state openly.
Mr. Hume and Lord Castlereagh rose together amidst loud
s of " Chair, chair."

...-EAKEn said, the noble lord had not made use of
the expression in the sense which the hon. and learned mem-
ber seemed to understand it. If he had so used it, it would
have been his duty to have called him to order. The house
would bear with him when he said, that he was most careful
to allow no personal allusions to pass unnoticed. (Cheers.)
Mr. Humn : It was always painful to him to differ from
pair; but, as far as expressions could bear a meaning,
ne noble lord most certainly attributed motives to the hon.
and learned member for Chester, and charged him with hav-
ing made a speech in order to gain time. By the rules of the
house, no member was warranted in doing so, and it was the
duty of the speaker to prevent it.
After some altercation between Viscount CASTEREAGH
and Mr. J. JERVIS, explanations where given and received,
and the house divided, the numbers being—ayes, 201 ; noes,
122 ; majority against Mr. Thornely's amendment, 79.
Mr. G. WILBRAHAM earnestly protested against the third
reading of the bill.
After some farther conversation and discession, in which
Mr. Wilbraham, Mr. Hume, and Mr. F. Hodgson took part,
Mr. E. J. STANLEY said, that if the house would agree to
the postponement until Monday, he would give a pledge that
no other clauses than those that were now in the hands of
hon. members should be brought up. He would not, how-
ever, trouble the house by dividing it. (Hear; hear.)
The postponement of the furthr proceedings on this bill,
until the next day, was then agreed to.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL.
The motion for the committee on Lord Stanley's bill
[led up Mr. O'CONNELL. He contended that it was too

late in the present session to pass the bill, even if its enact-
ments were less objectionable ; but that at all events it was
wholly unreasonable to provde for the registration of the
franchise before the franchise itself was defined by law. Lord
Stanley had deplored the condition of a country where the
minority of the judges refused to be bound by the majority.
Still more to be deplored was the condition of a country
where men struggled to reach the bench by giving scope to
every bad passion. The law had not referred the adjudication
of the franchise to the twelve judges, and their opinion upon
it was, therefore, so far extrajudicial, that several of the as-
sistant-barristers did not hold themselves concluded by it.
Before the Reform Bill it was necessary that there should be
a value, for which a solvent tenant would have given £lO a
year. But words which, under the act of George IV, required
the qualification as thus interpreted, were omitted in the Irish
Reform Act. It had been often said the land should pay 3
rents • for instance, £lO for the landlord, £lO to repay labour
and capital, and £lO for the tenant's profit. But if beyond
this it were now required that there should be a value for
which a solvent tenant would give a further £lO, then four
rents were requisite instead of three, and the tenant's profit,
instead of being £lO, must in order to glare him the franchise,
amount to X'a The .act of George- -IV had required a clear
yearly value £lO, but-the Reform Bill required only a bene-
ficial interest of not less than the annual sum of £lO ; nor
could these -acts be construed as in van materitt, for the
vhole system of registration were altered by the Reform Bill.
'he judges, however, had construed the beneficial interest
aA the Reform Act according But to the solvent tenant test
act of George IV., by a majority of 10 to 2.
Baron Richards, one of the two, expressed his opinion that
this construction having been pronounced in private, was
not a binding one, especially as there was no appeal from it,
and he acted on that opinion with the sanction of the Irish
Lord Chancellor and of Judge Perrin. It was enough for
the argument that such a difference among the supreme
judges was admitted to exist ; while that difference remained
unsettled, it was monstrous to enter into the details of regis-
tration. The legislature should settle the franchise ; and in
ds opinion it might properly be settled on the principle of
weneticial interest : for that was matter of fact, and could be
roved by showing the amount which the land had produced
eyond the rent and the amount necessary for replacing capi-
il and labour. But if the test were to be the amount which
solvent tenant would be willing to pay, the whole was con-
and would vary with each man's imagination. He
.ed by moving that it be an instruction to the commit-
define the qualification.
74EFROY argued that the law must be taken to be set-
\e judges had the same power to decide this question
.side a question of criminal law upon a case reserved.
. appeal had been given to the judge. of assize from the de-
cision of the assistant-barrister in civil cases under the civil
bill act, and it was always the practice with every such
.judge
to reserve for the decision of the twelve all points of difficulty
in those civil bill cases. This practice had been adopted by
Mr. Baron Richards himself. It was a practice now long
established, and it had never been complained of. The juris-
diction of the barrister was the same, and the appeal to the
judge was the same in the business of the registration as in
that of the civil bill. If, therefore, the reservation of points
for the twelve judges was valid in the cases of civil bill, it
was equally valid in the registration cases. He trusted that
Mr. Baron Richards would not persevere in the course he
had taken, for it was a course which would render it impos-
sible ever to settle a disputed point of law.
The ATTORNEY-GENEEAL protested against the assertion
that the law on this subject was certain and settled. Judges,
committees, and assistant-barristers, all differed upon it. He
would not venture an opinion of his own, but the alteration
introduced by the reform bill into the words of the act of
George IV. was at least some argument that the legislature
intended thereby to alter the law.
Sir Bowan], SUGDEN said the house had the authority of
Government itself that this was not the proper occasion for
discussing the qualification ; for there were now pending two
Government Registration Bills—one providing for England

end the other for !rebind, and in neither of that bills wee
the qualification mentioned, but two separate bills were in-
troduced to regulate the qualification in the two respective
countries, The reason wRy the Attorney-General had de.
alined to state his own opinion was intelligent enough ; his
opinion would not have suited the purpose of his speech.
Sir E. Sugden then argued, from the wording of the Reform
Bill, that the legislature did not mean thereby to alter the
qualification.
Sir D. N, —vs strongly feeling the importance of a set

-
tlement on this disputed question, regretted that a proposal
of this kind was brought forward on an occasionlike the pre-
sent, when there was no chance of deciding the matter. He
did not at all agree in Mr. O'Connell's construction of the

act.
Mr. SuAW quoted a passage from a speech of Mr. O'Con-
nell upon a former registration bill, in which that learned
member had said his reason for suppo'rting the Registration
Bill of 1835 was, that it provided for annual registration and
double appeal. .

Mr. LITTON observed, that the Attorney-General, and
those who ,defended the dissentient judges, bad not been able
to cite one single instance, or at all events only one, in which
any English judge had declined to be bound by the opinion
of the majority.
Mr. GRATTAN vehemently declaimed against Lord Stanley
and his bill, and against the corruptions of Ludlow and Cam-
bridge, which ought, he sail, to have been reforined before
Ireland was attacked. Lord Stanley ought to bear the natoe
of Captain Rock, for his bill was but a Rockite notice.
Lord STANLEY said, that in one of the former debates
this very subject had been fully discussed ; a division had
taken place upon it, and the house had declined to entertain
it. Lord J. Russell had concurred in the rejection, and

would, no doubt, do the same thing that nig'

but it wou

have been more convenient that the noble lord should have
declared himself to that effect in an earlier part of the
evening, before an additional night had been wasted by
a course tending, if not actually intended, to delay the sub-
ject for another week. And this had been done, not upon
the notice of Mr. O'Connell, as originally given, which
related to cesses and taxes, but upon a new motion wholly
varying from that notice. For himself, he would not aid the
intended delay by entering into any debate upon the merits
of this often mooted instruction.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it would have been, in his
judgment, improper to interfere so early as to prevent his
legal friends from explaining their views on this important
subject, although he certainly intended to oppose the in-
struction. The debate of this evening had thrown a valuable
light on the bill. The Attorney-General, a high authority,
had declared the dissentient judges to be warranted in con-
travening the decisions of their colleagues ; and Sir E.
Sugden, also a high authority, might, if his own test were
applied to him, be considered, from his silence on the sub-
.,.

ject, as concurring in the doctrine of the Attorney-Lieneral.
It was not expedient to leave these political questions to the
judges. In any close contest they would be accused, how-
ever unjustly,• of favouring their own partisans. If the
appeal clauses were not struck of, he should think it is duty
to make a further attempt at obtaining a distinct definition
of the franchise. _ _ _

Sir R. PEEL said, that the course pursued on this bill was
unlike any thing theretofore attempted. .A notice of an in-
struction had been giver, to define municipal cesses and
taxes. That notice had been wholly abandoned, and a mo-
tion made of which no notice at all had been given. Lord J.
Russell had allowed the debate to go on the whole evening,
and at last, when he rose to declare his dissent from Mr.
O'Connell's instruction, had spoken 20 minutes just in the
most critical part of the evening, while yet there would have
been a chance for going into the committee. it really was
matter of surprise to him that the noble lord and his friends
should submit to a humiliation like this; For his own part,
he should not be disheartened even if the effect of all these
proceedings should delay the bill too long for the present
session ; satisfied, as he was, that the cause of truth would
ultim ' ly • -.van, and that all these obstructions would h-

, pre._
strengthen this measure amongst the thinking part of the
people of Ireland.
The motion of Mr. O'Connell wasnegatived by a majority
of 311 against 162, and the further proceeding was fixed for
Thursday next.
The registration of voters (Ireland) bill, No. 2, was fixed
for Thursday, and the qualification of voters (Ireland) bill
for Monday.

COUNTY CONSTABULARY BILL

On the motion for the further consideration of the report
on this bill being made by Mr. F. MAULS, _ .

Sir R. PEEL suggested that some improvement might be
made which would secure the appointment of proper persons
to serve the office of sheriff. In most cases the duties were
very onerous, and a considerable part of the difficulty now
felt in obtaining proper persons, arose from the charge of ap-
pointing a number of persons called javelin men, to preserve
order during the sittings of the assizes. It would be a good
arrangement if in counties where there was a good constabu-
lary force, the duties now performed by those javelin-men
were transferred to that body. (Hear, hear.) Such an
arrangement would remove the objection many persons had
to serve as sheriffs.—Report received.
The house adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock.
