HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsnkY.

The order of the day was read for going into committee
on the Chelsea Hospital Out-Pensioners Bill.
Mr. T. S. D UNCOMBE wished to know what the expense
to the country would be in clothing the out-pensioners,
and whether they were to be exercised in public or private.
Sir H. HADDINGE said the cost of clothing would not
exceed 7s. each per man per year. With respect to dril-
ling and exercise, the same rule would be attended to as
in all other cases.

Mr. MACAUI.EY briefly supported the bill.
Colonel T. WOOD defended the measure. The force to
be raised by this bill was in his opinion a constutional
force, and the opposition to it was only to wear out and
worry the Government. ("Hear.) It would however turn
on the heads of the hon. gentlemen opposite. Government
wished to protect the lives and property of her Majesty's
subjects, and if hon. gentlemen opposite dared to oppose
such a precaution, it would have its effect on the country
—it would promote disgust against the opponents of the
bill, and strengthen the hands of her Majesty's Govern-
ment. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the expense of
the force, they must be provided for every year by a vote
of Parliament, rind' therefore there would be frequent op-
portunity of discussing the subject.
After a few words from Mr. ltocwa in opposition to the
measure, Mr. Hums moved the adjournment of the
house, on which the gallery was cleared, when there ap-
peared—
For the adjournment..

Majority ..

On the question being put that the Speaker do leave the
chair, Mr. HUME again addressed the house. The hon.
member moved as an amendment that the furtlitt consi-
deration of this bill should be postponed for three months.
He did not mind being told that he was acting factiously,
even if he divided the house 500 times.

the following re-
turn was ordered :--" .
....I of the numoer of days on
which the Haus,.
of Commons sat in this session of par-
Borneo., stating the total numbtr of hours occupied in the
sitting of the house, and the average time; and also dis-
tinguishing the number of nights on which the House
sat, and the number of hours after midnight."
Lord J. MANNERS, after alluding to the fact of some
labourers being fined by the magistrates of Beaconsfield,
for playing at cricket after divine service, on a Sunday,
asked the Attorney-General whether such fines were
legal ? If they were, he thought the nobility and gentry
ought to be fined for riding out in their carriages and em-
ploying their servants on a Sunday.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not wish to give a legal
opinion without consideration, but he believed there was
an act in existence which imposed a penalty for playing at
cricket on a Sunday out of the parish to which. the parties
playing belonged.
Mr. (1. BOLLER said it was not his intention to bring
forward the important subject of colonization, of which
he had previously given notice, at the present advanced
stage of the session, but he hoped to have an opportunity
of doing so early next session. The hon. and learned
gentleman concluded a very long speech by moving for a
copy of an act of the Canadian legislature, which after a
short conversation was agreed to.
Mr. B. COCHRANE moved for certain papers relative to
the affairs of Greece; and after speeches from Dr. Bow-
ring, Mr. Milnes, and Lord Palmerston, Sir R. Peel con-
sented to the motion in a modified form.
Lord PALMERSTON then moved for papers relating to
the affairs of Servia, and after a stormy discussion, in
which "Young England" was very conspicuous, the mo-
tion wag withdrawn.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM withdrew for this session the
Prison Discipline Bill, and the house adjourned.

Sir R. PEEL, in a masterly speech, justified the mea-
sure. It was clear the hon. member for Montrose in his
own judgment was in favour of the provisions of the bill ;
he admitted it, as he was willing' to give up opposition if
it was confined to two or three years. (Hear.) He (Sir
R. Peel) was not surprised at the opposition which this
measure met with. The same opposition was offered to
the Police Bill which was introduced in 1829; it was then
said, as now, that it would interfere with the liberty of the
subject. What had been the result? Why, the subject
bad not been deprived of a single right, and life and pro-
perty were better protected. It was never the intention of
the Government to enrol more than 10,000 men, but to
make a provision for the maintenance of the public peace
they considered that this measure was necessary. It was
not a coercion bill—(hear, hear)—and they had a right to
ask the House' for a vote of confidence. (Hear, hear.)
With respect to the duration of the bill, he thought two
or three year& would not be sufficient time to test its opera-
tions. The goirernment asked for no new law—or new
powers—but, to call into exercise, if necessary, the ser-
vices of those Whom the country might justly demand.
(Hear.) kle, therefore, trusted the house would agree to
the bill. -

After a few words from Lord WINcIiiLSRA, Lord CAR-

BERN, anu ...oru oIONTRAGLE, tne Ar...b
''' n bishop of Don-
LIN expressed his regret that a committee had not been
granted early in the session, It might then at least have
said, "We have inquired into your case." Those who
knew little of Ireland or of the working of a poor law were
sanguine of its success; in proportion to increased know.
ledge did apprehension increase. and those whose know-
ledge was most extensive disapproved the system most of
all.

Lord CHARLEVILLE thought that so long RS out of
every shilling collected Bid. was spent in administration,
and only 31d in relief, opposition was to be expected.
The resolution being, however, withdrawn, the bill
went through committee; and the Irish Arms bill was
read a third time and passed.

The Repeal Association held its weekly meeting on
Monday, when, upon the motion of Town Councillor
Reilly, a statute was voted to Mr. O'Connell, the expense
to be defrayed out of the Repeal funds. Mr. O'Connell
announced the receipts since the last day of meeting as
NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTE►'N POUNDS
TEN SHILLINGS AND SEVEN-PENCE. It should
be remembered (mournfully continued the Liberator) that
this was not the rent for an entire week, but only for six
days.
REPEAL PRONOUNCEMENT.— Another " demonstra-
tion," which now has changed its name into a "pronounce-
ment," has been made at Maryborough on Sunday week,
where we learn that there were at least 200,000 persons
(Repeal arithmetic) gathered, in desecration of that sacred
day, to "pronounce" for Repeal. Swarms of priests as
usual, and temperance bands by the score, in appropriate
uniforms, and all the other paraphernalia are recorded.
In the usual style, it is declared by Mr. O'Connell and
the repeal press to he the greatest and most magnificent
pronouncement being the last. As to the speeches
there is nothine in them worth reporting. Lord Roden,
the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Brougham were of
course abused and ridiculed, and the priests loudly de-
claimed against the idea of being paid by the state.
ADJOURNMENT OF REPEAL.-011 the 2d January,
1843, Daniel the First announced the commencement of
the Repeal year; and prophesied that—" before twelve
months more the Parliament would be sitting in Coll(ge-
green." On the 151 h of August, 1843, the same Daniel
declared we were then in the year of Repeal; and prophe-
sied likewise that—" before twelve months more the Par-
ment would be sitting in College-green." Here is an ex-
tension of at least six months to the hope deferred of the
anxious Repealers. " A long day, my lord," is the cry
of the convicted criminal. Give Daniel his own time,
and, no doubt, he'll make a fine end of it. Finis coronas

CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—The organ of this edifice was
lately taken down, and the necessary works, preparatory
to the erection of the new instrument and the introduc-
tion of two beautifully stained windows at the eastern end
of the Cathedral, are now in progress.
DR. PUSEY'S SERMON.—The recent condemnation of
Dr. Pusey was not the mere individual act of the Vice-
Chancellor for the time being ; but Dr. Wynter, before
he ventured on that decisive step, laid the whole matter
before his superior, (the Duke of Wellington, the Chan-
cellor of Oxford.) The reply of the Chancellor was, we
hear, given with his grace's usual brevity and decision :
" He must recant, or he must be silenced."—London
Record.
IMPORTANT TO THE CLERGY.—THE MILLION FUND.
—A friend writes us :—" As you have always been the
steady and warm friend of the Church of England clergy,
I beg to state that Lord writes to me that they are
in danger of losing the residue of the million fund, if they
do not exert themselves. Give them warning to this
effect. They should insist on every member of parliamen t
on whom they have the least influence to commence a
bombardment on Sir Robert Peel's cabinet without de-
lay." The hint is valuable, and should not be neglected.
—Newry Telegraph.
DR. PUSEY'S SERMON.—On the 2d instant an address
was transmitted to Dr. Wynter, the Vice Chancellor of
Oxford, signed by 230 members of convocation, amongst
whom are Lords Dungannon and Courtenay, W. E.
Gladstone, Esq., Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Dr. Hook.
The address, after expressing the regret of the memorial-
ists at the course pursued by Dr. Vt, ynter with reference
to Dr. Pusey's sermons, was as follows :—" We depre-
cate that construction of the statute under which Dr.
Vusey has been condemned, which, contrary to the prin-
ciples of justice, subjects a person to penalties without
affording him the means of explanation or defence ; and
we think that the interests of the church and of the uni-
versity require, that when a sermon is adjudged unsound
the points in which its unsoundness consists should be
distinctly stated, if the condemnation of it is intended to
operate either as a caution to other preachers, or as a
check to' the reception of doctrines supposed to be erro-
neous." The Vice Chancellor, after acknowledging the
receipt of the memorial, says, " When a document of a
similar nature upon the same subject was some time since
presented to me, I was induced, from respect for the pre-
sumed motives of those who signed it, not only to receive
it, but to state the grounds on which I felt myself pre-
cluded from complying with the request which it con-
tained. But the paper which you have transmitted to
me presents itself under very different circumstances, and
demands from me a different course of procedure. In
whatever point of view I feel myself at liberty to regard
it, whether as addressed to me in my individual or my
official capacity, it is deserving of the strongest censure.
In the former case. it imputes to me, by implication, that
in a matter wherein every thoughtful man occupying my
losition would most deeply feel its painful responsibilities,
p have acted without due deliberation, and am capable of
being influenced by many to concede that which I have
already denied to a few. Assuming it to be addresses to
me in my public capacity, a graver character attached to
it. If it be not altogether nugatory, then is it an unbe-
coming and unstatutable attempt to overawe the resident
governor of the university in the execution of his office.
In either case I refuse to receive it, and I hold it to be my
duty to admonish those who may have hastily signed it,
while 1 warn others who may have been active in promo-
ting it, to have a more careful regard to the oaths by
which they bound themselves upon admission to their se-
veral degrees ; this act of theirs having a direct tendency
to foment, if not create, divisions in the university, to
disturb its peace, and interfere with its orderly govern-
ment." After such a rebuke as this, we hope the Vice
Chancellor will be protected from any similar proceeding,
more especially as it is now confidently stated that his
condemnation of the sermon referred to was passed with
the full concurrence of the Duke of Wellington, the Chan-
cellor of the University.

WESLEYAN METHODISTS.-It appears from an official
return of the number of members in the Nlethodist con-
nection laid before the last Conference, that the net in-
crease of members during the past year is as follows :—ln
Great Britain, 4,297; in Ireland, 374 ; in the Foreign
Stations, 3,943; total, 8,614. The total amount of sub-
scriptions actually paid to the treasurer of the Centenary
Fund is upwards of £221,000. It was decided that the
next conference should commence in Birmingham ou the
last Wednesday in July. 1844.

SHOCKING DEATH.--On Monday se'nnight, near
Northallerton, a fine little boy, aged five years, son of
Daniel Macvay, had been plucking apples from a tree,
when, unfortunately, his pinafore caught a branch of the
tree, and, losing his balance, he was suspended, and shortly
afterwards found strangled.
GREEN PEAS.—On Saturday an abundant supply was
brought into this town, which in the early part of the day
were sold at 3d. and 4d. per peck ; but a great quantity
remaining unsold, a great deal of competition took place
in the evening, and prices fell to 21d. and 2d. per peck,
and in one instance, where two rival vendors of this vege-
table came into very close contact, they were actually of-
fered at 3d. per bushel !—a price, we believe, unequalled
in the annals of green peas.—Berkshire Chronicle.
FATAL .ACCIDENT.—Two LIVES LOST.—On Tues-
day as two children were being.drawn by the servant in a
.ebildren's carriage, it upset, opposite the Waterside
House. A cart laden with gravel was unfortunately pas-
sing at the moment, and the children falling directly in
the track of its wheels, received the most frightful injuries.
The elder, a girl of about five years and nine months, was
killed upon the spot ; and the skull of the younger, a boy
of about fifteen months, was so dreadfully crushed that
he only lingered for a short time.—Hull Packet.
CAUTION AGAINST RASH TRADING.—An application
was lately made in the Court of Bankruptcy for a certifi-
cate in favour of Joseph Whitmore, who had been part
proprietor of a paper called the Illustrated Weekly Times.
After a lengthened examination, the certificate was re-
fused by Commissioner Fonblanque, with this remark :
"This is a case in which the court must mark its disap-
probation of the bankrupt's misrepresentations as to his
being a man of property, when, according to his own
statement, he was in debt £lOOO. When he entered into
this business he was barely able to raise £lOO ; Dr. Ryan
also.only £100; and the third partner, Mr. Stiff, only a
few wood blocks; and upon that slight capital attt mptitig,
to rival another well-established paper."
THE LATE THUNDER STORM.—In addition to the ca-
sualties mentioned in our last, we have now to state that
at Hereford a child was struck dead in a house. A mar-
ried woman, named Lloyd, living under the same roof,
but in the next house, was likewise much discoloured and
injured upon several parts of her person, and is now under
medical treatment. A chapel of ease for the parish of
Newland, situated at Redbrook, about three miles from
Monmouth, and which during the week is used as a
schoolroom, was struck by the electric fluid, which ap.
pears to have entered at the small bell tower, at the west
end, shattered the weather boards, the window below,
and pulpit. Christ Church. in the Forest of Dean, was
also injured by the lightning; and the tower and spire of
Goodrich church, between Ross and Monmouth, was so
much damaged during the tempest that it is thought the
spire will require to be taken down.

REPEAL MEETING ON TARA lIILL.—This demon-
station which took place on Tue-day was undoubtedly a
manifestation of physical force and revolutionary intent
not to be dispised. The numbers present are said, and
with more appearance of truth, we understand, titan
usual, to have amounted to halt a million, more or less;
and it cannot be denied that the speeches both of Mr.
O'Connell and his assistants exhibited more than ordinary
firmness and determination to persevere. To enter upon
a refutation of the arguments relied on to justify the
movement were absurd. They are appeals to the pas-
sions—and can•only be met by the inexpugnable argument
and steady resistance of physical as well as moral force.
When we hear Mr. O'Connell, for instance addressing the
multitude, and saying—'• We are on the spot where the
monarchs of Ireland were elected, and where the chief-
tains of Ireland bound themselves by the sacred tie of
religion to stand by their native land against the Danes,
or any other stranger—(cheers.) This is emphatically the
spot from which emanated the social power—the legal
authority—the right to dominion over the furthest ex
tremes of the island, and the power of concentrating the
force of the entire nation for the purpose of national
defence—(cheers.) On this important spot. I have a duty
to perform—l here protest in the face of my country, in
the face of my Creator—in the face of Ireland and our
God, I protest against the continuance of the unfounded
and unjust union—(cheers.) My proposition to Ireland
is that the union is riot binding upon us; it is not bind-
ing I mean, upon conscience—it is void in principle—it is
void as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional
law—(hear.) I protest everything that is sacred, without
being profane to the truth of my assertion—(hear, hear)
—there is really no union between the two countries—
(cheers.)" When we hear the leading demagogue, we
say, uttering these impassioned appeals—not to the un-
derstanding, but to the feelings—not to the reason, but
the prejudices of an inflamed and fanatical auditory—we
may believe that he is very much in earnest, but that he
does not expect his argument to be answered by any wea-
pon but the sword.
Out of forty-six of the Croal coaches examined by the
postoffice authorities, and by persons on the part of Mr.
Purcell, only nine are returned as perfectly new.
Reaping has commenced in several districts in the
nei7.hbourhood of Dublin, and nothing can be more fa-
vourable or propitious for all agricultural purposes than
the weather.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.—The Rev. Mr. Baldwin
was fired at on Monday at Castlecuffe, near Mount mellick,
and the fi2ure of a coffin was cut on his demesne.—Li-
merick Chronicle.

REPEAL IL TEMPERANCE.—Number of drunkards
committed to Cork bridewell during the month of July,
1843, 220. Number of drunkards committed to bride-
well during the month of July, 1842,115. Increase, 105.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. —On Friday evening a
young woman, whose name is not yet known, cut her
throat and threw herself into the Royal Canal, between
the second and third lock, above the bridge leading to
Glasnevin. She was respectably but humbly attired, and
wore two rings upon her left hand.—Dublin paper.

The Galway town grand jury have agreed to a petition
praying the repeal of the union. One of the gentlemen
(Mr. Blake, of Merlin Park), opposed to the measure, ap-
plied to the court (Baron Lefroy), to prevent the intro-
duction of the subject into the grand jury room, but the
learned Baron politely declined to interfere.
At the Abascragh petty sessions, on Tuesday, James
Flynn was found guilty of an assault on the police, and
sentenced to a fine of two pounds, or six weeks imprison-
ment. The assault was committed during the removal
of the triumphant arches erected for the repeal meeting.
Three other prisoners pleaded guilty, and Ott ew themselves
on the mercy of the court. They were fined Is. 6d. each.

TIIE CHASM AT CLOGHER. The strange opening
has caused great sensation, and has done injury to our
market, as the people are really afraid that the town will
also sink. The bottom of the pit is hard, yet there is at
present about nine feet of water and dirt in it, caused by
springs and gravel from the sides of the pit. As yet no
cause can be assigned for this chasm.—Belfast paper.
MURDER.—Private letters from Parsonstown, near
Dublin, state the awful fact that at five o'clock on Friday
evening, August 11, %bile the sth Fusileers were on drill,
one of them shot the, adjutant dead. On Monday last,
the jury sat on the body of the deceased, and returned the
following verdict :—" That private George Jubee, of the
sth Fusileers, did at the time and place mentioned, and in
the manner described by the witnesses, kill and murder
Adjutant Robertson Mackay, of the said coaps: but the
jury is of opinion that the majcrity of the men of the
said regiment are both murmuring at and suffering from,
the drills and parades which they have daily to undergo ;
they (the jury) therefore reccommend that the proper
authorities will institute a strict and searching inquiry into
these matters." The prisoner, who had hitherto borne a
good character, and was proved to be perfectly sane, was
then handed over to the charge of the police on the coro-
ner's warrant, for transmission to Tullarnore gaol, to
abide his trial at the next assizes. The jury was composed
of 11 Protestants, 11 Roman Cathodes, and one quaker.
THE RELIEF OF DERRY.—The anniversary of the
relief of Derry was celebrated on Saturday last with more
than the usual rejoicings. At an early hour in the morn-
ing the crimson banners of the Apprentice Boys were
hoisted on the Cathedral and the Testimonial, the union
jack at the Royal Bastion, and the ensign of the Hon. the
Irish Society at ,the South-west Bastion. A fen de joie
was fired from seven pieces of ordnance on the ramparts
soon after, amidst the huzzas of the Apprentice Boys, and
the immense ct owd of loyal-hearted citizens who witnessed
the enlivening scene, and the same ceremony was repeated
at half-past six o'clock in the evening, to the gratification
of one of the most numerous assemblages we ever wit-
nessed on a similar occasion. The joybells of our vene
rable Cathedral sent forth their spirit-stirring notes at
intervals throughout the day, and a number of the Ap-
prentice Boys supped together in their club-rooms in the
evening, in commemoration of the heroic defence of the
" Maiden City, " one hundred and fifty-four years ago,
when the Popish bigot James the Second, although having
an army of twenty thousand men, was compelled by their
ancestors to retreat in disgrace from before our uncon-
querable walls, after an eight months' siege.—Derry
Sentinel.

HEROIC CONDUCT OF A YOUNG LADY.—On Friday,
the 4th instant, Mr. Bussy, of Lowpark, having allowed
all his lal,ourers and servants to go to Mr. Hogan's races,
half-a-mile distant, after securing the back door, walked
over to the race-course, leaving his sister, Miss Bussy,
at home ; she, on looking out of the parlour-window some
time after her brother going, saw two men rush forward,
when one of them threw up the sash, calling out come
boys, we will get in here," but with the quickness of
thought Miss Bussy pulled down the window, catching
his fingers, and before he could re-insert them she bad the
sash screwed down ; he then stood undisguised, opposite
the window, parleying with her, and promising if she
would hand out the arms she would not be molested ; on
her refusing in a determinedmanner he changed his tone,
swearing he would smash the house to atoms and treat her
with severity ' • be then attempted to force in the hall door,
but she was before him and put on the bars ; they tore
away the rain-board at the bottom in a futile attempt to
raise the door off its hinges ' • they also procured a heavy
mallet to smash the pannels, but also failed in that ; they
next attempted to break in the back door, but it also being
too strong for them they turned on the kitchen window
and broke down three large iron bars, and smashed the
sash to atoms, through which they effected an entrance.
In the interim Miss Bussy locked and bolted herself in
the drawing-room, where she concealed the arms, con-
sisting of four guns and a sword ; she then raised the win-
dow, got outside, lowered the window behind her, and
courageously leaped down, at the risk of her life, a height
of more than ten feet, into the shrubbery, ran screaming
to the gate-house, and accompanied by its only inmate,
the herd's daughter, she ran towards the race-course
shouting for help. Her brother, on hearing of the occur-
rence, hastened home and found all the arms safe. They
made ;t diligent, but, we regret, ineffectual search for the
depredators.— Wcsimeath Guardian.
KIDNAPPING.—on Thursday, a little orphan girl, about
eleven years of age, who has been brought up under the
protection of Miss M'Auley, of Great James's-street, was
kidnapped and carried off from the house of that lady by
he stepfather, a mason, named M`Gowan, who took her
away by force to the house of Surgeon M'Laughlin, in
Castle-street. Miss M'Auley having heard the cries of
the child pursued her, and finally regained possession of
her. The reason assigned fir M`Gowan's abstraction of
the little girl is his wish to have her brought up a Roman
Catholic, or, as is more generally thought, in order that
lie may possess himself of a small sum of money which is
said to have been bequeathed to ber by her parents. It
appears that both the father and mother of the child were
servants in Miss M'Auley's family, and that after her
father's death, her mother married a second time to
M`Gowan, soon after which the child was placed under
