A
.I"v- we have received by her London pa
pcTs Of the SIst May and Liverpool ofthe DAY
The British Parliament Is again In session.
Notice had been given in the House o. Gem
mons by Lord Stanley Of an important q
mendment which he proposed TO OfIeF % inc
Irish Church Bill. when Il came up 70 q sec
ond reading. 1t is " for leave to bring IN q
bill for the conversion of 1.-THE composition
into rent charges and for the better distribu-
ton of ecclesiastical revenues in Ireland"
They have had an "expunging" question
in the House of Commons as we had at WASH
ington, and it has ended much in the same
way, although it did not consume as much
time on the other side of the Atlantic as it did
here. Mr.. Grove, Price had given notice OF
a motion for expuflging from the list OF mott
ces IN the House of Commons, Mr.. O'Con-
nelFs motion for a reform of the House of
Lords. Mr.. Price has now withdrawn his
motion, on the ground that it would still be-
competent for Mr., O'Connell to bring forward
his motion after the eFasure Of the notice, the
notice being merely a matter of form for the
convenience of the House generally, and in
no way affecting the right of a member TO-.
submit the subjects so announced. Mr.. Price
added In giving up his motion, he must say
that he gave up no principle, and when the
proper time came he would place on the jour-
mails resolution as strongly expressive Of
his opinion as to the notice of the hon. mems
Der was as severe an attack on our constit,l-
ton as ever had been made by any motion in
that house since the year 164l.''
The Greek War ouer-The National Intel
llgencer of Monday says: Intelligence
from Major Gen. SCOTS Head Quarters in
the Creek nation, received by the. last
mails, justifies the belief that the Indian cam
palgn in that quarter must have terminated.
if not finally closed, before this day. One
thousand hostile Indians have surrendered :;
and, if they are prisoners of war without the
discharge Of a musket, or the loss ofone brave
soldier, the bloodless triumph is not the less
acceptable to a Christian community, The
number of hostile warriors which yet remain
to be taken is variously estimated at from
eight to twelve hundred and if they should
hold out, contrary to what may be reasona-
bly, calculated, the judicious and efficient
measures adopted by the distinguished and
gallant Scott as we see by his recent Gener-
al Orders, must ensure their speedy capture
by force of arms, either in action, or Chem
med in as they must be by the plan of opera
tions) by unavoidable surrender. All the
passes are said to be effeetually guarded by
the troops, and their escape to Florida, here
tofore asserted as probable, is deemed to be
impracticable."

who went out for the purpose of driving in a.
body of cattle, and a party of Indians who.
were engaged in the same object and that
four of the latter were killed.

T Extraordinary Pyoductiom.-We were
shown, yesterday, the leaf of a Chinese mul-
berry, measuring nine inches in diameter,
and twofeet in circumference piucked from
tree which was set out only four weeks
ago, without bud upon it, by DR.. M. II. Van
Dyck, at his place in New Jersey. This is.
an extraordinary production, and gives great;
encouragement to the cultivators OF this val
liable tree.-N. Y. ADJ.
