On the motion of Lord. J. Russ .F., the order of the day for
the third reading of the Lower Canaria government hill was
real. The noble lord also moved, that the bill be read a third
time.

Mr. LCADgit presented several petitions, praying that this
."*coercion bill" might not pass.
Sire, Strictus spoke at some length, chiefly against the
. .
mtnstry._

Sir HAttav VERNEY Was glad that the hon. baronet, in com-
mentingod the general conduct of the :„,,oyernment,.was unable
to find 'fault with'at least one of their acts—thb selection which
they had Made of Lord Durham as a mediator With the colonies.
Mr. Ht:ss certniuly felt indignant that such a measure as the
present had beed brought forward by her majesty's goYernment.
But, drawing a comparison between the two sides of house,
he must say that he had known many good and useful measures
proposed by her majesty's government; and all that he regretted
was, that they had stopped abort of the imly legitimate object
in view, He wished the honourable baronet would point out
any measure emanating from the other side of the house which
could hear any comparison with the liberal measures that had
emanated from her majesty's present government. The hon.
baronet maintained, that the opinion of the country was adverse
to the present government. That be (Mr. Hume) denied-. He
believed thatavery large majority of the people of the United
Kingdom approved the liberal and enlightened-measures which
had been brought under the consideration of parliaMent by hei
majesty's government. As an honest radical, he preferred her
majesty's ministers to the honourable gentleman opposite. He
would now refer to the bill, and say, that notwithstanding the
alterations which had been made in it in the committee, he had
as strong an aversion to it as ever, and considered that so de-
spotic-& measure reflected thehighest discredit on a -reform od-
ministration. With. these feelings upon the subject,. he should
wave as an amendment, that the bill, be read a third tithe that '
day sik..months..

Ah. 'WARBURTON seconded the amendment_
Sir Ipirmier INGLts said; that with regard to the bill now
about. -to.be read a third lime, he gave it his entire support; but
he coald- nut help thinking that the remedies which cere.now
proposed, and which he ;rusted would be effectual, might have
been sparedif inure vigorous measures bad. beers used.at an
earlier period:
Mr. Aliiertuan TFlOMPSON•declared that the measure before
the hnusehad his entire concurienee.

Mr. GizoTE said, upon this question, he had heath gothinir to
alter the i:onvivtiun he entertained ►seen he first delivered his
opinion upon it.

Mr. W,AußuitToN would avail himself of the present Opportu-
nity of passin;.; his maledietioti on this unNrinuate bill. ,

'Mr. .1)k. rut.; ButirtiwicK tv:is interrupted by It-o-. 14 cries Or
" questßitn," and "divide." The house then divided, when the
nuinheii were—for the third leading, 110; for Mr. Iluone's
ainenttlitent, .majority for the third reading, 102.
Aftera short conversation, the bill was passed, and sent to the
lords."

NEW MODE OF GENERATING HEAT.

We copy the followingpAragra ph from the .Scotsman:—
" 11:. new method of Prinincing heat, rapidly. and without fuel,
is at r.resent attracting much attention in London. It is exhi-
bited at the Jerusalem Cetfee noose ; but the process is kept
secret. We have doubt, that science wilt supply heat by
meinods now unknown, tong before the coal fields are exhausted;

the surface (except where springs of water can be obtained at
theseAeptlis by boring): but who will venture to say, that a
metht;d may be found of pumping up heat as we pump up water?
Sciente has 4eeoniplished more wonderful things than this."
Our contemporary has been misinformed in one point. Fuel
is userd,:but in a very small quantity ; and the secret consists in
the nOnre of the fuel used, and the mode of burning it. Ac-
cortlio.46.the testa which have been applied to the stove, the
combistion of the fuel does not vitiate the air in any manner;
so thirekhe little urn, or short ornamented column, of which the
stove consists, may be, and is, placed in close apartments, or in
a shat;:upcarriage, through the night, and the person steeping
in the_ chamber or riding in the carriage experiences all the
waraith'dCrived from a pan of burning charcoal being in the
wi,thout any of the inconveniences. Theie is said to be
no drift' in it, and in fact, no cominunication with the combos-
tible,4hich is consumed in a shut4ip chamber, and the air of
the atl,Firtinent... No odour is, we are informed, perceptible; for
we havenot witnessed the stove in operation. We should have
inentilined this subject before, but it was the express wish of the
proprietors not to have it noticed by the public press. But, now
that italr contemporary has called. attention to it, we cannot re-
frain from adding our 'mite to his information. Certainly we
know. very little of it, more than that the stove, in its outward
appearance, resembles the air or gas stoves used for shops, with-
out any grate, and appears to communicirte' the heat of the air
of the apartMent by an extensive surface of metal being kept
enntitinally hot. If there be no chicanery in it—and, perhaps,
our readers may remember that something similar, which turned
out to be a trick, was exhibited in Leceister-square a fe..v years
ago, anirmade, at the time, a considerable noise--the invention
prorniSes. to be of immense advantage. The problem of navi-
gating, steam ships found the world will be at once resolved. But
we will nut be sanguine of its results; for, as set, the inventor,
who is' taking, or haS taken. out a patent, preserves his secret
inviolate. We are inclined to suppose, from what we have
heardabdseeti, that the discovery, which is said to be the result
of aceitjent, isunistiinportant; and we augur well for it, from
knowing that it has been taken'up by some most responsible
and respectable men in the city or London.—Cuurier.

PE'RSONAL SECURITY.--‘: Will. you do me a favour?" says
young- George Brooks to his wealthy friend, Simon Hacson-
I wish you to lend me a hundred pounds,-sir. " "Call-at my
