FIVE o'clock. The Norfolk Island Bill was read a third
time.
The Archbishop Of Dublin presented two petitions,
one from Ireland, and the other from England and
ireland, on the subject of church g vernmen,; the pc
titioners were not in favor of q convocation, but for
some plan to remove the anomalies OF the present sys
TEN Of church government.
Lord Brougham SAID he would willingly give his
support to some such plan us that limited al by the pc
titioners. One If the petitions was rejected, IN conse
quence of there being no signature attached TO the
first sheet Of the petition.
After a remark from Lord Campbell.
The Archbishop of Dublin SAID that, in fact, there
was no Church of Ireland, and the petitioners did not
wish for a form of Government for the Church in Ire.
land; they humbly prayed tina, the subject of Church
Government might be taken into consideration.
Lord Brougham reminded the Right Reverend Pre-.
late (the Archbishop OF DublIn) that ne, ana The Irish
Bishops having seats IN that House, were conservators
of the government of the church in Ireland.
On the motion Of the Marquis of Breadalbune, time
for signing the protest against the Scotch Church Bill
was enlarged.
The House then went INTO committee on the law oil
libel, and Defamation Bill.
The committee was employed for q considerable time
in making verbal alterations.
LospoN, July l5.-ln the House of Lords, last
night, the Marquis of Cianricadre brought forward his
resolutions on The subject of the Irish magistrates, and
severely censured the conduc, Of Government for the
unjust and impolitic step they had taken to stop the
Repeal agitation His speech was, however, charac
terlzed by calmness and moderation OF tone. The
Duke of Wellington made vigorous defence OF the Go
verpment. He set aside the question OF legality, and
said tina, the manner in which The Repeal agitation was
being carried on in Ireland was such as endangered
the public peace, and 10 call for precautionary measures
from the Government, who were responsible tor the
lives and property Of the people. tie admitted that the
peace Of Ireland was in the hands of Mr.. OConnell,
and alluded to his declaration that he had q finer army
than Napoleon led into Russia, or The Duke OF Wei.
linpton had al Waterloo. "Nery possibly" said the
noble Duke, and this was a sufficient reason why Co.
vernment should be prepared for any outbreak, and
could not safely leave the commission Of the peace IN
the hands OF men who might be called upon to put down
that which they had aided in bringing about.
REBECcA ASp HER DAuGHTERs-Carmarthen, Tues
duv-The work Of turnpIke.gaie and dollhouse de.
~struction goes on as frequently and as successfully as
ever. The Rebeccaltes become more and more daring,
committing their depredations IN the open day, and al.
most within sight of the military. On Friday afternoon,
a body Of Rebeccaites, numbering between one and tw"
hundred, assembled at Nantegarredig, about FIVE miles
from Carmarthen, dressed IN their usual disguise, and
carrying various implements CT destruction. They
commenced their attack on Llandrlowrns gate, attack
ed the new bridge, the same concerning which the
fourteen were summoned for refusing to pay the toll,
and which it turned out before the magistrate was ile-
gaily demanded, 4Ad instead of Sd. Previous TO com
mencing the attack on the gate, they, in this instance,
committed personal violence; first on a young farmer,
who was re orted 10 have offered 10 act as n special con.
stable; and nexto on Lewis, the gate keeper; both of whom
they soundly horsewhipped, and the latter they compel
led to fall on his knees, and swear three times over by oil
that was sacred, that he would never again have con-
nection with tolls or turnpike guies, and it is said, he
resigned his le~sseeship the next day.
Information OF these do'ngs having been conveyed to
Carmarthen, at about six o'clock the Fourth Ora
goons set off at a rapid pace through Abergwilly, but
as the soldiers passed under Merlinis Mill, a signal
shot was fred, and the Rebeccaites dispersed. On the
Dragons arriving, they found nothing to attack but
the remnants of The gate and dollhouse, already level
led to the ground. No sooner had the Dragons return
ed TO Carmarthen, than Rebacca again assembled her
forces, and proceeded to ~pulldown the Mansell's Arms
gate and dollhouse, and Llanfhangel gate, in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Earl Cawdor's seat, and on the mail
road to Llandilo.
On Monday night three other gates in this county
were destroyed, Llanbyther, New Inn and Penallt.
The REPEAL AGiTATIoN-lt has already been
stated, that one OF the consequences of the RePeal
agitation in Ireland has heen to keep tho reapcrc, who
were in the habit of coming into the agricultural dis
tricts Of this country in thousands at this season Of
the year, at their own homes on the present OCCASION;
and, as proof of the fact, il has recently been ascertain
ed that one of the principal steamboat Companies at
Liverpool, which last year had, from Dublin alone an
average, up 10 this period, OF 2,G00 deck passengers,
has had in the present year only 200, thus show
ing a falling off to the extent of $40 weekly, or 40 per
cent.
THE SAxDwIcH IsLASps.-Despatches have been
sent off by Government 10 Capt. Lord G Paulet, OF
the Carysfort frigate, in The South Pacific, ncknow.
lodging the free independence of King Tamchamatha
Ill, and the Sandwich Islands from this or any other
country.
A deputa,ion, the papers stale, consisting of Messrs.
John Scoble, Lewis Tappan, George Stacey, John
Beaumont, and others, from the committee of The Bri-
fish and Foreign Slavery, waited upon Lord Aberdeen,
at the Colonial Office, on Wednesday, for the purpose
of presenting memorials connected with slavery in
Texas. When in office, Lord Palmersion was about
negotiating a commercial treaty with Texas, and &C.
knowledging its independence, but the existence of
slavery there was found 10 be Q formidable barrier. Ii
would appear from this movement that the anti Slavery
party hardly consider their case so safe in the hands
of his successor.
