HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. JULY IS. CHL'R:;I EXTENSION.—Sir H. PEEL, in answer to IIr- Hawes, qid, lIer Nl:i.sty .s W.I.'i deeply 'Ltll- pressed ■.vith the necessity of taking into consideration the 3Uj't 'if church extension, so far, especially, as the j nter.:sts of in my populous districts were emicerned j (hear.) HIT Majesty's government would feel it to be their du y to consider the subject during the recess. When lie sa;,1 this be pledged himself in no wa; whatever i as to the particular mode which should be adopted in j carrying i.ito effect the object of his hon. triend but he did pledge himself to give the subject the most serious consideration, and earl v in the next, session, to state the view winch her Majtsty's government deemed it neces- ) sary to tnke. I t. therefore, rt:¡¡1ailleJ with his lion, t:-it-tid to whether at so hte a Period of the ses- ] von, lie lv(lt:i?,? ill I)i; Sirli. INUI.IS hop(1 the Hon ;<■ would allow him to J make a few observations. It was not his fault if he gave notice of bringing forward Sih 1: a motion at so late a period of the session. The delay, which arose from i .iriiuis causes, was inevitable. He should not he UIl- willing to uroi.eed with his motion, encouraged as 1)(' was hy the deiViratiou of liis right hon. friend that he would pursue the sallle course Oil the present occasion as he did hell the subject was lust belore the House; but as his right hon. friend had stated that he would take the sub- j, ct into consideration during the recess, and when he coupled th it statement with the promise of his right hon. friend that if now brought forward lie would give the motion the same support he formerly had done. hp t'1.aight that he should best consult the interests of the great cause which he advocated if he consented to leave tlie question as it now stood in tne handset'her Majesty's (C ":1' Iï I me!lt.

He entered at great length into details connected with the present mode of administering justice in Ireland, and contended that the people neither could nor ought t > rest satisfied with it. The day? of exclusion fir Roman Catholics were still continued, and no member of that persuasion had been placed in any high situation. Ue enumerated cases at particular trials, in which the j.iTk-s had been unfairly composed, and complained that !!1¡(I,w impediments were opposed to challenges. He concluded with a complaint respecting the indulgence saowii to M r. St. George, who had been formerly removed iroin the magistracy for an indecorous letter to Lord Nor- ■ 'aanby, while holding the office of representative ot the Sovereign in IitUnd. Application had IWt'1I made to tI,, present government to i-e,tore. him. Tiie Irish Chan- cellor had refused to do so. unless upon condition ot an ;1J)"il)v or explanation. Mr. St. George hat} perempto- rily refused and, at last, without any apology Or eNFla- nation at ail, lie had h, en restored. A protracted discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord ELIOT l'nkred in In a vindication of the conduct ot tae Irish government, and denied that any legal appoint- ments there could be impugned on the ground of favonr- ifi iii or pmti icv but at the same tiD"(" -;¡1.'1I.1..d that lio to best; their patronage reference t) ,nf>Cv,| ,)r religious opinions. %1 Th'?ot? divided, when there appeared for ?fr. .f)ci's[':??..?). 7~ against it, 146, majority, i I. ?

The ordns of the day were then ui. od ot aid the Hou.-e a Ijon. ti d. TUESO.W, July I'). Poor LI',y A \FF.NDMt:NT BlI.I..—Sir J. C.UAHAM said, io moving t| order ot the day for the further consid. ration ot the Poor-law bill, the first clause had been sanctioned the duration of the commission f,,r five years. To that clause he attached considerable importance. He should press forward the next our c auses, winch regulated the duties ot the As- s-is'i t Cc-nmissioncrs, but he did not intend to proceed w. h t ie u ther clauses, particularly that relating to the t_;Iit) rt L uu ns and for-al acts (he tr, and liiugbtor from the OppfJsitioll benches.) III the recess, the government would take the whole question into consideration, giving it the best attention they could in the interval, and at th*> very commencement of the next session they would in Trodtice the whole of their plan. However, he should press some of the remaining c'auses, particularly that relating to casual relief, or the 23d clause. He was very anxious to submit this clause to the house during this session, particularly that part of it which made tear- ing of tiii-ir by paupers a misdemeanour. But the Gilbert union clauses, and those which related to the for- Fr-itT\ fer the .rurcoses of education, .itc.. » ouiu not in the present state of the session, and the at- tendance of members, be proceeded with. lie saw the hon. member for Rochdale (Mr. Crawford) in his place; he hid an amendment among the notices relative to Ire- land: but he thought it could not be entertained at pre- sent, nor the motion for the hon. member for Oldham (Mr. Fielden). which went to the dicnssion of an abstract proposition not relating exactly to such parts of tile bll as he intended proceeding with. He hoped, t h ere,"(, .re, therefore, the house w >••! support hun in resisting the discussion of these amendments. ;lie order of t tie tva-: then read. 'Capt. PKCITF.I.L said, after what he had heard he ''bought it his duty to present the petitions which had been f-.ntrustfd' zi: him to present from several of the Gilbert Unions, so that when the government came to the consideration of this measure during the recess, as they had now heard was intended to be donc, the autho- rities might be aware of the-feelings of the people con- nected with these unions in to uiterferences with them. The hon. metrfb r then presented a rtuniber of petitions, wry numerously signed, praying that the 6tli clause in the bill-- t!iit which related to these unions— should be expunged from the bill. Nearly all these peti tions were from places in the cOlmty of Sussex. !r. --FIELDE advised Sir James to abandon his bill altogether, and not to ask for as much of it as related to tlie appointment ot the commissioners iv-'thoot any of the subsequent mitigatory clauses which regulated their afppoir.tinent. Having thrown out this suggestion, he considered he WOll! best tlis(on;¡r¡;e his duty according to the sense he entertained 6f it, by pre-sing »:is amend- ment. Mr. S. CR vwroitD regretted that he could nrtt adopt the course which the right hon. baronet had recommended to him. His object was to allow under the Irish Poor- law, the ordering of relief, when thought necessar'y, oiit of the workhouse, wh:ch the Irish Poor-law ;,I sot itely pro- hibited under any circumstances. lie thought the, of Ireland still more imperatively th-.in in England re- quired this amendment of the enactment. The honour- iihle utentlemau proceeded to show that this relaxation was demanded much more imperatively in Ireland than in this country, and cited recent aurhenticst-itementsof the great distress in various parts of that country, and in almost all directions throughout its whole extent, and after urging t herefrom the propriety and pressing na- ture ot iii- instructions te the committee, concluded bv moving that it te an instruction tu the committee on the bill, that power be given to the commissioners to j order redd to be administered to tlie p>V">r in Ireland on tiie terms ot the out-door labour test. 1 he house then divided. 1 he numbers were—for the motion, 11 Against it, 112. Majority, 101. Mr. !• _iLLDKN then brought forward his motion, aft, I SOIll" preliminary statements, to the following effect -.— i I hat this bill be proceeded with no further, until it be ascertained by inquiry of this House, that there have teen, since the Poor Law Amendment Act came into operation, a rise ot the wages of labour, increased con- i tentinent among the labouring people, and a diminution ot crime and also, that, if a rise in the rate of wages have taken place, it has been to such an extent as to give the able-bodied labouring man, with a wife and family, an etpuvoVnt for theparo hud assistance afforded tr, bun b^for- the ti) at A ct. I hat it is desirable that such inquiry should be satis- factory and conclusive, and that it hotiitt cotiiiiiiii(i the conifdence ot tlie country, and that.therefore, none but labourers and employers he examined." SirJAMt.s G r iin m said he believed that the New Poor law had proved beneficial to the working popul. Imn p eci illv in the rural districts, and S.IK no necessity for the proposefl inquiry. On a division the motion was megatived by 1 'Z~> to 8. The House then went into com. mittee on the bill. The clauses adopted occasioned con- :o:iIi"1"ab!e debate, accompanied with two divisions, the mtnorites being very small. Tlie main portion of the b U was struck out, all the clauses which are to be postponed t:1 next session, being negatived without division. A clause pronosed by Mr. DUUSY, to prevent any parish governed by a local act from being interfered with Iky- clie poor-law commissioners, unless wIth consent of tvvo-thin.'s of the guardians, was rejeeted'by 91 to 42. Tiie bill having gone through committee, the House resumed, the report to be received to day.

which derive their force from an iiTEeli'i'griiiYj(?A'1. | takm, iew of the subject under discussion. So sweeping a co isritutional change as that prop'c.sed by the National I moti'' could be expected by none to leap at one bc&r.ifd J into the lavourah'e judgment of the middle classes. I Foremost in the rilllk of prejudices, which-tend to ob- struct the progress of complete ullrage, %ve may piice that which has been called into being and installed in power by tile indiscretions, the recklessness, the dis- honesty of too many who, until recently, have stood forth as the undisnutw! leaders of the popular cause. It is no iiiteniiou ot oufs to palliate their inconsistencies, to de- temf their follies, or to excuse their crimes. The decla- matory trash they mouth in the ear, cr prut for tlie eye. ot the public, their dissolute murals, their insane hate of religion, tlie meanness with which they wiil 'stoop to pander to tlie lowest passions of hitman nature, the aleect cowardice with which they almost invariably abandon their followers in the moment ot danger, their profound ignorance only to be slIrpasspd by 'the jrrossness of their assumptions—all this we give up most hearuly to well- merited execration. For oursel ves, we feel it impossible to look upon the frothy braggarts with any other feelings than those oi supreme contempt. They have defiled with their speeches and writings a truly noble cause, and have made men turn away with sickening of heart from principles which otherwise would have won their admira- tion. Most of tiiem we believe to be conscious or uncon- scious puppets in the hands of the direct enemies of po- pular freedom—and whether female charms, or flattery, or money, t)t- the price paid down to them for their ser vices, they are working out the purposes ot'Tory cunning. W e must, however, on behalf, oi complete suffrage, on beh dt ot all the political principles adopted by the l.'nion," protest against their being saddled with the vagaries of ilicii.

ST A IF, OF T11F. Cv)L"XTRY. BIRMINGHAM, Sundny. Ualf-pnst One.—The accounts from the l'ùtteri.:s are 11I¡,dv un.sntishtctory. Yesterday r -?( i t t ir O'liZ i l afternoon A lderman Copeland p.ef' through here for Loudon, to communicate with the gOVe»Timent on the state of the district, and obtain further arid i:'ntritJ.d''> I 111 i J i la rv aid. The accounts from Hanley represent that part ifi ;L most disturbed state in fact, the utmost terror bt-eii excited amongst the inhabitants. The Cheshire troop of cavalry, amI Newcastle troop, arrived ,it N,w castle (pit Friday morning, and made a great display in cotijulictioki with the regular troops in the market-place. | I here was a gre.it niimter of magistrates and principal gentlemen of the place present, and the whole had an J alam.ing appearance. So great was the terror amonsrsl the shopkeepers, that many ot them closed their shops, ;tti(i ;ill trade was suspended. Many of the inhabitants, in order to save themselves from being plundered, have given many fta.d and money liberally. As may be sup- posed, in afi such ( ases, many bad and dissolute characters are availing'themselves ot the confusion, and living by it. It the colliers do not resume w, rk next week, the potters will be thrown out of work for want of coal, and the distress amongst thousands of families will be dreadful. File proposed redaction of wages, which is altogether the result of necessity on the part of the masters, is more than the men can bear. or if still greater misery to themselves and families was not the consequence, greater than'they ought to bear, ft is all part of the-infamous system by Which, it seems, the aristocracy mean to govern the ei)iiiitry. They will not consent to any measures calculated to enable the 11It.lluf:,t:I!Hl!rS to make goods with profit, nay, without a positive Jos. till hellce the necessity for reducing wages below thestandard of human endurance. The thing, however, cannot last long in this way. The mass ot discontent will, ere long, be too great to he trifled with. A gentleman who c?:me from the Fot:eries yesterday evening, says that the colliers were still levying contributions in 'Hanley Lane-end, and other places, and that they were stopping provision carts going to market; indeed, when lr-c left,itwas expected that they would commit some serums breach of the peace List night. They were armed with bludgeons and sticks cut for the this will perhaps account for Alderinan Cepeland's departure. Indeed, unless prompt steps are taken to settle the dispute between the masters and men, dreadful consequences may be apprehended next week.

E t opi.M e NT. The following case of elopement h.ts caused no small degree of excitement in some of the fashionable circles of society :it the Nl'est-eii(l. The facts are briefly these:—On Monday morning, a young L.d, of great personal attract ions, and between 18 and 1!) years of age, only daughter of a wealthy baronet, in Portland j lace, was suddenly missed from the mansion, and it was immediately discovered that s he had taken with her the IV hole of her jewellery, which was of con- siderable value. Every possible inquiry was promptly, instituted, with a view of finding out the retreat of the fahjfugitive, but no tidings could be gained respecting her by any of those members of the family whose anxious solicitude for her wel'are proni] t d t'nem to be on tne alert. The mystery. however, was in the course of a few hours cleared up by the arrival of the lady, who re- turned to her parental roo* (which she had so uncere- ( moniousiy fled from.) in a handsome carriage, and by her side was' ??cated a dashing young Irish gentleman of fortune, to whom she had on the amc morning beer united in bonds indissoluble, at a church not far distant. The happv couple" alighted, and entered the dwelling, when the lady acquainted papa with the fact that she was married, and that she and her husband were about to ijiiit Lonùol1 for the Emerald Isle. Whether a reconciliation took place between tlie baronet and his daughter we ere un;):" to say with any degree ofcrrt.dntv ■ but we believe (hat the "error" has been forgiven. j

AMKIUCA. The ft/'■ ■;■■•J mail -tesmer is arrived, with New ork letters to the 1st July inclusive. Trade was very dull, and likelv to continue so for seme time to come. Money was abundant, but confidece in Public Securities was losing grotiiiti. as many of the States had failed to provide the mearts to pay their interest due on the 1st instant. The most important piece of information is that of the rejection of the new Tariff lavi by the veto of the President, who has authorised the Secretary of the Treasury to issue circulars I to the Collectors of Customs, directing them to collect duties at 2o per cent. II.! ra.'urrm after June 30. The Com promise Act of 1S3-3 is now come iato play again. In a message to both H ouses of Congress he has expressed his opinion that the Public Lands ought to be relied on for national revenue in the present state of the finances of the Treasury. Some uneasiness has been felt at the delay in concluding the nesjoeintioiis at Washington about the Disputed Boun- dary. A letter from Boston, under date ot 211 July, nas been received at the North and South American Coffee- house, uivinsr the following reports on this subject: — Major Crookes is a passenger in the Britannia, and takes important despatches from Lord Ashtmrton to the liiitish government. 11 is said that the despatches relate to the situation of the Houndary difficulty, which is not to he so easily settled as many persons supposed a few weeks since. However, I have seen a letter to-day from a most respectable quarter in Washington, which states that Mr. Webster ami the several commissioners from this State and Maine had agreed with Lord Ashburton tl)oii a boun- -A:i d ? dary litik- and terms of settleinent of this long disputed question, and that there would not probably be any delay in settling all the other difficulties between this countn and Great Britain. Lord Ashburtec and Mr. Webstei are upon the most- friendly terms, and they are equally anxious to t,e present difficulties between the twe countries." The IiaV.fax Monnmi /'oii says, "We have it in nu. plJwer to state, upon the best authority, that the instruc tions of her Majesty's government have been framed with a most solicitors regard for the welfare of these colonies and with a determination to preserve their safety by re tabling the whole of the disputed territory, if possible, but at all hazards that portion of it lying north of Mar. Mill, with ttit- entire and exclusive navigation of the St. John's River and its principal tributaries."

To do Sir Robert Peel justice, he is not altoge- ther so inconsistent as some people assert -his original character has been modified only it is not changed. Less plausible perhaps, than when disguised as a dbetor, refusing to prescribe until his fee was palmed, he drew down unbounded ap- plause at county hustings, from credulous consti- tuencies and admiring audiences, composed of the j principal country-gentlemcu in the kingdom, the right lion, bart. is no less subtile end clever now, than lie was at that period of bucolic beatitude. 1 lis tact, it is true, when plotting against the ad- ministration, (of whose measures, by the bye, it must be confessed, he has since produced but a sorry copy,) was admirable but. is his sinuosity one whit less manifest now, than when plain Bob Peel was, by common consent, considered the best Stirtice that ever appeared on the boards of St. Stephens? No; during the season, now lrawing to a close, he may have appeared with somewhat equivocal success in the character of Deceiver-General;" but nevertheless, the versa- tility of his genius and the peculiarity of his talents have shone conspicuously, while his Tariff-trick is fully equal to the gun-trick which lately de- ighted the London plav-goers so much. To be serious, however, on a somewhat serious subject, another exemplification of the character- istic disingenuousriess of the minister-pro-tem. was exhibited by him last week, in his reply to Mr. Humes protest against expending enormous sums, purely for purposes ol parade and empty I ihow. It may be remembered, that on the Riht, Ion. Barouct's rnction for the to go into Committee on the bill for the protection of her Majesty's person, Mr. Ilume said, the attention )f the house had for several months bceti called :o the dis! r.ss of the country. Bt-t their at- ention had not yet been directed to tha.t part of tor Majesty's speech from the throne, which I minted ont the expenditure of the country as a n.?ans of removing that distress. Mr. Hume was of opinion that they ought not to separate ivithout the whole civil expenditure of the country being reduced. There ivas an enormous rpcnxi; of the Pntdic money in mere parade and Ife 1(1a, of opinion iila I one- half of that n:n jniyht be saved, and he believed no one be more ready to make a personal sacrifice or the good of the country lor a year or two than he Queen, if such a course were recommended )y her Majesty's ministers. The sum spent in nere parade and show about the Palace was no less 'han 3f)0,00!)/. of the. public, money- Mr. Hume .bought that it was in the power of the right hon- ourable baronet, if he would act upon his sugges- non, to render any additional taxation (such as the Income Ta) iiniiecessa-v. The revenue of the jresent year was as great as it had heen durIng the last 'ten years. The income had nut fane )tr, but the expenditure had been increases. j' .I 1 The hon. member for Montrose say*, a time when men, women anl'childieii, are w anting bread—when indeed hundreds éoÜr indusuious u-tixans are ^.ctt>ellyj tlyiiig cf sheer destitution, no less a sum than 'Three itundred and Sixty Thousand t-oui-(-t,, *of the Public m-oney is squan- dered in rule 'fchtW.

The thread bare fallacy of cnnfusion, which we have just given an instance of, from his speech. is one of his fav'c-rite feints — when ever the right hon. haronctcannot entriely escape from discussion he atteftipts to perplex. He is, in short, an odd mixture of a. political Sykes, Bill Soamcs, and Kphraim Jeiikins-ii-itli the Bubb Codington, ar-d Gerald Hamittor. bub- bling up at the top of his oratorical cauldron. Of the latter professor in the Art of that kind of parliamentary logic, in which Sir Robert Peel is a proficient, Bentham said, (if Ave remember rightlv) that in Hamilton's collection of aphorisms there are forty, out of the five hundred, in which vice is nndisgu'.sedly recommended. Twelve times is misrepresentation, that is, premeditated falsehood, with or without a mask, recommended in the several forms of which it presented itself to him as susceptible viz., in the way fcf false addition, three times; in the way of false substitution, twice; and in the way of omissions, seven times. Not merely indifference as between good and bad, but predilection for what is bad was displayed by Gerald Hamilton, in his treatise on Parliamen- tary logic. For the praise of intelligence and active talent, he was content to forego the merit of probity and of sincerity, and to take to himself the substance as ii-eli as the shape and color of the opposite vices. We do not intend to impute to Sir Robert Peel the infamy of Hamilton; we do not assert that there is no difference whatever between them—the right hon, bart. and the professed .teacher of parlia- mentary profligacy may not be marked by an identity of mental character, but if the premier be not prepared to sacrifice sincerity at the shrine of party, we would seriously advise him to unlearn that unworthy art in which lie not seldom shows I himself an adept; and against which we have dc'jyiedit our duty to enter the humble protes t of the Welsh-nan. To return to the {ant of Three Hundrcd Thousand pounds being spent every year in mere empty show and parade at Buckingham palac, we must say, notwithstanding the extreme unfa&hionable- ness of economy, that so vast a waste of public money, at a time "hrn a large portion of the people want the common" necessaries of life, can add nothing to the dignity..of the crown, or to the stability ot our institutions. We may be cen- sured as administering to the passions of a discon- tented democracy we care not—we heed not the calumny. We denounce such expenditure as profli- gate. It may he said the Whigs have proved how lavish they can be, when a Civil list is t-) be voted. We deplore the fact while admitting it. But in justice to the deposed party, itouglit to be borne in mind, that the commercial policy they intended to pursue would have strengthened the energies of the country, thereby rendering the amount of the Civil list scarcely felt. If commerce bad not been cruelly and most unwisely kept in fetters, for purposes at once the most foolish and the most fi-atidtilent, the item to which allusion has been made, would be one of comparative unimportance —indeed it would probably be as little felt by the people at present as the weight of the fabled fly was felt by the elephant. But commerce, under Conservative influence, is crippled an d as a con- j sequence, our population is so destitute, that thousands of persons of either sex and of all ages arc suffering the acutest pangs of hunger. "Thou- sands, said Lord Brougham, whose speech we quoted last week, thousands of persons are without food for days — In some cases the poor are ui able to leave their beds. They thus lie for days; because, as it was said by some of them, that in a recumbent position the pangs of hunger were more easily endured. They were living on things that ought not to be eaten by men; and literally envied the hnsks thrown to the swine, which they could not eat." If then there ever was a time when a rigid economy should be practised by the State, this is the time; and yet we find the first ministerof the Crown not only refuse to receive the petitions of the people for inquiry into their afflicting condition, but he heartlessly and dishonestly tm'us upon his heel, m:d gets rid of the unwelcome theme by one of those supremely sinister devices which add insult to injury.

It can hardly be expected that people will pay any great deference to a common-place about endea- vouring to bring the war in the East to a con- clusion," when they are thinking alone of what will brin? tli(?ir cl*strvs,cd to a conclusion. Much less can It be supposed that men who han nothing to eat, and of course nothing to give away, will patiently listen to Sir Robert Peel's clap-trap concerning "a aeneroita course of couduct. This we repeat is not the time when such irrelevancy can be horne, What is the state of the country? Are we not at this very moment seriously apprehen- sive that the general distress, unless s¡;er,Jily alle- viated, will result in civil commotion ami disiyrL^oce. The accounts from the manufacturing; districts (it appears from the JlurnÎ".I Chnmirlc, become more and more alarming. The colliers in the Potteries are still going about in hands, levying contributions and if they do not resume work, the potters will be thrown out of cmploymcnt for want of coal. Yeomanry and troops con- tinue to pour into Newcastle-under-Lyne and adjoining places, and serious collisions were apprehended. We do not, however, hear that any serious breach of the peace has yet occurred. At Salford and Manchester, memorials, couched in the most uncompromising terms and numerously signed (that from Manchester received 00,000 signatures ia one day), have been transmitted to the members for those boroughs. The memorial from Salford requests Mr. Brotherton, that he will, in his p!ace in Parliament, uuite with other members for the manufacturing districts in the adoption of suck ■meuxitre.t of upjwisdion /n the pm-jress of government, ? ?)?/"M'/ ?/M <?)n/?' (?. ?'7/ pn'r? ?e ?/'?-?/(?/f?< ?/ /'t<?M?('??unti!themonopo)i-!tsin corn.suEar, and ? coffee are abolished." The memorial from Manchester equally calls on Mr. Mark Phillips and Mr. Thomas M. Gihson, by every available opposition and constitutional impediment, to resist the granting by the legislature of any further supplies to the government." An idea of the excitement at Manchester may he conceived from the fol- io-wine resolution, adopted at an adjourned meeting of the Ant.i-Corr.-law Association on Friday evening: — Moved by Mr. Alderman Brooks, and seconded by Mr. F. Warren—That, believing this country to be on the eve of a revolution, and being- utterlv without hope that the legislature will accord justice to the starving millions, a requisition be forthwith prepared, signed, aud forwarded to the members for this boronirh, calling -upon them (in con- junction with other Liberal members) to offer every oppo- sition and impediment to the taxation of a prostrate peo- ple, for the purposes of a breail-taxinsr aristocracy-that the wheels of government may be at once arrested through the -ejection or prevention of all votes of supply." Leeds, Stockport, and in short all the manufacturing districts evince similar symptoms. "There is no mistaking thete. When men possessed of a deep stake in the country are made desperate by circumstances which they are una- ble to control, and hold language like that which we have cited, the time calls for determinate action. Ennlishmen are not casîty thrown off their balance. They abhor, too, all means which are not strictly reconcileable withconsti. tutional forms. But it is obvious that in the manufactur- ing districts society is rapidly approaching to a state of utter disorganisation. Under such circumstances, it be- hoves all men of property to reflect how much depends on making a proper use of the interval which-still admits of deliberation. The motion of Mr. Thomas buncombe, on Thursday next, 'holds out to the despairing multitudes a last ray of hope. Should they be disappointed, we tremble to think of what the consequences may be. The edifice of British industry is magnificent but shod'.il one part of it fall, who shall say what may be the fate of the other?"

WEEKLY RETROSPECT, OR SUMMARY OF DOMESTIC NEWS. I [FROM OCR LONDON SPECIAL COSRESrOXDOT;] I LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 7 O'CLOCX. In glancing at what has occurred in thf: political world since my last summary the most prominent objects'oi public attention are the death of the Duke of Orleans, the heir to the throne of France general Distress in our own country; Church Extension; the Supplies; the Poor Law the Mines & Collieries hill; Mr. Roebuck's commit- tee education; Sunday pleasures of the working classes; and lastly in; the category, the Jurisdiction of Justices bill, of which the objectis to limit the power of the "great unpaid"—a matter of much interest to your readers and to country inhabitants generally. ) I will nON at once proceed, .witfe reference in detail s ta«r.vJfrit'ritary proceedings reserving .remark on them till that first part of my task is concluded. In the House of Lords,-on Thursday, the Railway BJI passed through Committee. Lord Campbell proposed the insertion of a-'Clause to prohibit the locking-in of passengers; but it was rejected by a majority of 3o to 31. The Protection of Ill'it -,NiAJE-,Y'r's Person Hill was brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. The Mines and Collieries Bill was rpad a second time after an explanation from the Earl of Devon of the alterations which it was proposed by Government to make I): Committee. Lord Ilathertori expressed himself satisfied with- the concessions. The Marquis of London- I (terry an the Itarl of Radnor objected to all legislation 'en the subject. The former said he was "decidedly | averse -to the humanity-mania out of which the ¡ ui UIU.IC UNA -'A, ridiculed "the hypncritial cant I J irigs for tlie tupposed sufferings of their fellow-creatures. On 'Friday, the QCEE:I; s Protection Bill was passed, I and the Klines and Collieries Bill was committed. In the Commons, 'on Thursday, the propriety of admitting j he public to the National Monuments, agreeably to the recommendation in the Report of the Select Committee was brought forward by Mr. Hume, and gave rise to discussion. With the exception of Sir Robert Inglis, all the speakers expressed themselves in favour of cultivating in the people of all classes a taste for lie ArtF. Mr. Gaily Knight regretted that the Right Hon Member ftir Oxford University should have thrown cold water on the proposal, and have uttered such an anathema against the Arts; he could almost have ima- gined he was listening to some holy monk of the dark ages! Sir Robert Peel made a sensible and liberal speech in favour of giving the people access to the public monuments. Let the people," he said, "have a practi- cal enjoyment in the public expenditure. As to the argument that it was necessary to make a charge for ad- mission, in order to insure the respectability of the visi- tants, it appeared from the evidence," he remarked, that it wa" not from the artisans and humble classes that mis- conduct and mischief occurred, but from the vulgar rich." The Hon. Mr. Cowper remarked, that the real reason wh y the Dean and Chapter of Westminster refused free admission to the public, was a consideration of pounds, shillings, and pence and the better way would be to make them compensation. Mr. Curteis complained of the barricades erected in Westminster Abbry to prevent the people getting a view of the monuments on SLIII(IIV and of the insolent conduct of the vergers. Mr. EWART then brought forward a motion, in pursu- ance of notice, founded also on the report of the Select Committee, relating to a Normal School of Design but on receiving a satisfactory assurance from G lad,ton e' that the recommendations of the Committee were being gradually adopted, he withdrew his motion. Sir Robert Peel obtained leave to bring in a Bill to continue for another year the Controverted Elections Committee Act. On Friday, the House went into a Committee of Supply. The vote of £ -10,000 for the National Board of Education in Ireland was denounced hy Mr. Plumptre, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Sergeant Jackson, and warmly defended by Lord Eliot. A divi- sion being pressed with a view to test the sincerity of the opponents of the system, there appeared for the Resolu. it 0. Sir Robert Inglis and some other Tory Members haJ lcit the house to avoid voting; and Mr. Plumptre said, that, tho igh he had now voted in favour of the grant, he would, to maintain his consis- tency, oppose the grant on the bringing up of the report! In an early part of the debate, Sir Robert lnglisiCferreC. in terms of strong disapprobation, to the liberal observa- tions of the Lord President of the Council, in the House of Lords, on the subject of Education, and expressed his hope, that the rest of Her Majesty's Ministers would not allow the Noble Lord to be regarded as their representa- tie on this question. Sir James Graham declared his cordial concurrence in Lord Wharnchne's sentiments, and animadverted with some warmth upon the illiberal observations of the Hon. Member for Oxford University On Tllesday there was a debate and a division, on the new Poor law, Halt-and-half, tlie-willing-to-wotiti(I-bit-yeL- atraid-to-stnke disposition, that characterises the policy of the present cabinet marks their course on this subject. Sir James Graham is content with taking a bit of the bill, just the first clause or so, and will postpone bringing in the bill itself till next session. The Education ques- tion, both in regard to England and Ireland, has pro- gressed in Parliament. Much mure liberal views have been avowed by Sir Robert Peel than are pleasing to his party. Shell's motion led to a long discussion, in which the advocates of a liberal course had decilkdly the best of it. The Irish Solicitor-general and the other bigotted I enemies of popular education and equal justice to "ould  I I i Ireland, were well chastised by the ministers, their j masters. On the general question the Times has the fol- lowing pithy and pertinent remarks—" For our part, we must deelare wi thont reserve that we see great mischief and peril in the very principle of an interference on the part of government to organise and keep under its own control a scheme ot oublic education. There is despotism in it; there is an attempt, or at least a tendency in it, to supplant private relations and domestic duties with municipal regulations: it aims at a dislocation and dis- turbance of tne immutable combinations and self-acting powers of natural society, for the sake of concentrating in ti e malingers of the policital machine a control ovei the en fire moral andj intellectual development of tlli, national minci. Agaiugt this vve protest, and more rspr- I cially under the present circumstances of the world in general, and this country in particular, which makes it impossible for any government to establish a machinery of public instruction which shall be religious without being intolerant, or tolerant without being irreligious." But the lavish expenditure of the government as brought home to us during the week by the Supplies, ex- ceeds in immed ate importance all the other parlimen- liamentary business of the week. W hat a fine sense of the rights of humanity does not the throwing away thou- sands of pounds display when Distress and nothingbut Dis- tress is heard of in the country. Asa contemporary says, It is only necessary to run the eye over the various ministerial estimates to arrive at the conviction that our present House of Commons, loudly as it may express sympathy for the suffering poor, is but litde disposed to economise the national resources. Many of the objects for which large sums are granted, as will be seen by the subjoined .iist, are, the character ot the times considered, either grossly frivolous or palpably unjust. Motions for retrenchment are met with derisive jeers, and negatived by overwhelm iug majorities. It would seem as though the House were deeply impressed with a sense of one duty only-the duty of voting away ivtliout question, at the demand of the minister, tiiJJ monry of the people.

Four foreign bulls had the honour last Monday of being the first visitors to our markets under the new measure. Will the horned cattle interest" toss Sir Robert and his tariff.2 With regard to France and the Regency it is now decided by the legislative chambers that the widowed Duchess shall relinquish her claims in favour of the Duke of Nemours. A long minority is a serious fact, but it is utterly ims possible to foretell its consequences. If the old King Ahould go off, the Bourbon dynasty will be exposed to hazard. The Duke of Orleans appears to be universally regretted, and I regret that the Patriot of last Monday should have indulged in the following unworthy siteer. The writer sivs-14 in the personal character of the Duke of Orleans, there was assuredly no guarantee for tire M:¡ 1J r"Rf tJ, lu..o¡:.ej: puhlic tm this point. The deceased Prince was an amiable man) he had taken little or no part in the conflicts of party; his death will be a fatai blow to the French turf, he was a true sportsman, but not a military hero." I did not before know that what is called a religious dissenter's paper loved war and bloodshed so much as to prefer "a military hero" to a Prince known merely by his amiable character in all the private relations of life. It is such narrow bigotry and stupid inconsistency as this that brings disgrace on the dissenting body. Theimpositionofalieavy duty on our Linen reflects disgrace both on Belgium and France. When or where this absurd system of com- mercial restrictions will end I cannot determine. Passing, however, from foreign speculation to home prospects, I cannot but think, that the too long neglected condition-of-England question now assumes a shape full of sorrowful reflections. Disturbances have broken out already, the military has been called in to repress the aggressive movement of starvation, and nothing but the love of order that characterises the great body of the people could at this very moment exempt us from the horrors of rapine and revolution. The Corn-laws must go Already must Sir Robert Peel regret that he was not strong enough to act up to justice and statesmanlike wisdom. His weakness will be fatal to the administra- tion of which he is the head, even if it do not involve the country in anarchy. The ministers are in trouble, and as is usual with parties when misfortune peeps in, love and respect run out. The split" between the Tories widens The education question has made their disunion more apparent than ever. The Poor-law too has revealed how little real unanimity exists amongst them; and altogether looking to the state of the country as well as that of party, no other conclusion can be come to than that Sir Robert Peel must ere very long indeed resign, The organs of the Conservative party themselves prove this by their uneasiness and the rebukes they administer to their fellow-torics while the Mornuvj Chronicle as well as the:¡(/¡-crtisrr unreservedly declare that the miracu- lous ministry cannot stand that they already stagger, and that their retrogression is most rapid. The Globs too, a paper not less distinguished by talent than extreme caution in hazarding conjectures, intimates that desertions from, and divisions in, the Camp of the strong Conser- vative party" are of such frequent occurrence, that it is but the remnant ot its former self-adding, thatltbe debate on National Education has sorely shaken its constitution and diminished its vaunted strength. The Times too, as well as the Post and the Standard, is ill-pleased with things as they arc" in the present cabinet, and declares pretty plainly that its members are out of Point. Nay, the "leading journal" charges the ministers with being ar/ant cheats. This morning the Timcs says. Looking back upon the manner in which the present bill (or shall we call it til Jat" pill I) has been introduced, presented, and now finally withdrawn, we can scarcely acquit the government of something "pry like a breach of good faith. When they assumed office in uiC autumn of last year, we were most solemnly promised that ttirv would devote the interval then to elapse before the meeting ct' Parliament for despatch of business to a variety of purposes, one not the least prominent) of which was the solemn and serious re-consideration of every part of the New Poor- law, with a view to immediate legislation, Everything which has fallen from the IT otne Secretary during the present session, as well as their whole manner of pro- ceeding, convinces us that this pledge was insincerely given, and that it has never been redeemed." Everybody before saw that the pledge was insanccrely given. We tell the public now" (says the Globe) now that f, soleniii and serious reconsideration" will again prove a farce; and that it is ngaing throwing a tub to the whale' to hold out the Poor-law as the foremost subject for next I session" '1 he question ot Trade or no I rade-Supplles or no Supplies of subsistence is paramount. Hut if ministers persist in progogning parliament and I shutting the door of the House of Commons in the Lee of a famishing population, who can assert that the repression of popular tumult and civil commotion I may not he the first public business which demands legislative interference. The public nieetings held every day speak a language that can hardly be mis- understood. They seem to say, cease to tax bread, give us free trade and fair play-if we arc much longer de- prived of lood and employment we shall be rendered desperate, and on you who refuse to do justice will res1 the rppcnsihilityof that Revolution which you yourselves have occasioned.

.1. :rDT 1WEW8. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EvrxiNc;. A numerous deputation of gentlemen connected with the northern part of Wales had a long interview this morning with Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Lincoln, in Downing-street, on the subject of the Welsh land- owners' memorial. Yesterday's Paris news is. that M. Thiers has persuaded his friends and the Opposition to give up the idea of sup- porting the Duchess of Orleans against the Duke of Ne- mours. The latter, therefore, will be appointed Regent without opposition. It is now confidently stated that parliament will be pro- rogued the second week in August.—Standard. Tut; DISTURB ANCKS IN THE POTTERIKS.—Newcastle- under-Lyme, Tuesday, 11 a.m. — Last night the Earl of Dartmouth all(1 a numerous body of the county magis- tracy assembled at th3 Lion Hotel, in this town, for the- purpose of meeting the most influential coal masters and potters in the neighbourhood. The object was to obtain a fair knowledge of the matter in dispute, and at once to bring the present unpleasant state of things to a satisfac- tory termination. The meeting lasted a considerable length of time, but the determination arrived at has not yet been made known No violence has been used yet, and hopes are entertained that the masters will come to, and tl;e proposed reduction be abandoned.

WESTMINSTER LOAN AND INVESTMENT COMPANY. — At Guildhall, this day, another investigation into- the affairs of the above Company took place before Sir Peter Laurie. Several persons attended for the purpostr of proving how they had ber-n duped, Sir Peter asked one of the clerks belonging to the Company, how much the liabilities were He said they had paid all within i.; 1,000. and that the affairs were still under investigation and j,"they only waited he had no doubt all the applicants would -et their money.

GRAHAM ill answer to Mr. Mackinnon said, that it was not the intention of her Majesty's government to bring in any hill during the present session on the subject alluded to by lus hon. friend, but if his hon. friend would undertake the task, it should have his best consideration. BONDED CORN RILL. Mr. GLADSTONE moved the order of the day for the second reading ot the Bonded Corn Bill. The right hon. gentleman said, lIe trusted the bill would be unanimously agreed to, as lie was convinced it would greatly benefit the public and the revenue. The right hon. gent, then went into a long argument as to the necessity of the measure. It would create a new trade and stop fraud in many quarters. It was only asked that the bill should be in operation for three years, as at the expiration of that time it might he advisable tor parliament to recon- sider tlie subject. Col. RusuiiKooKE opposed tlie second reading of the hill. CORN EXCHANGE, THIS D-i Y.-Tlie arrIvals of foreign are considerable, and holders remaining firm in their de- mands, sales have been limited.

CARMARTIIHNSYILKE. I CONDITION or ACRICILTCKE IN* WALES. a I It must have occred to most travelling and thinking ViVilinen, that we are sadly deficient in that science which is the root of national wealth, agriculture. It may he contended that our soil is less rich, and our climate more moist than that of our neighbours. They arc better, no doubt; but an enterprising North countryman will obtain greater returns from poorer lands than our farmers do in most parts of the principality. I have great hopes that such proceedings as those of the last week, at Bristol, will give an active and useful stimulus to the spirit of improvement in farming, but I fear we shall not persuade the great Agricultural Society to approach nearer to us, and hold a meeting in Wales. How would Mr. Smith's Lecture on his system of sub-soi! ploughing have astonished a grey-coat in Llangattock market! I fear that. our ancient language is a hindrance to the ex- tension of modern improvements among us, and this brings me to my present practical object, which is as follows:—f n a district of Ireland, resembling in many respects the general features of our country, there has been founded a seminary for the more »i enlightened education or lb farmer on the pDnc?ic of combining We requisite degree of book-learning with the practical application of it to the cultivation of a farm. The Agricultural School at Tem- plemoyle(6miles. from Londonderry,) was founded in 1827 by about 70 persons taking t25 shares, and their public spirit has been rewarded with complete success; it accom- modates 70 young men, and is now quite filled. They l pay quarterly in advance the sum of RIO, per iununi*; | hc.ve a substant ial and wholesome diet, and are subject to strict discipline. The school-buildings arc situate on the Farm which comprises 172 acres of a very moderate soil, (which for in- struction is to be preferred to a rich one;) the scholars are divided into two classes, wiiv:i-| take alternately, for three |>r four hours at a time, in-door .nstruction an'd out-door labou. Every iinproveiiient of "'adem agriculture ha? ? been mt. rod?ed,?? asdeepdrahun?.?soil plougb}n„ soda and potass manures, &c. About -1,1 aLk and trust- worthy stewards to landed proprietors have Vcn educated there, and several hundreds of thrifty and intelligent far- meis sent forth to improve the surrounding county( and enrich themselves on their own farms. Now, sir, w- it not be most desirable that the like amount ofWeWk public spirit should create a similar institution in the country, in which you and I are most interested? say at Llanfihangel or Lampeter, or some central spot to tibl- counties of Pembroke, Cardigan, and Carmarthen such desirable objects arc to be obtained without any great risk or outlay of capital, in the manner I have mentioned how amply would their promoters be repaid, if it were but the means of enforcing the advantages of draining, of eco- nomising farm-yard manures, of having a good road through a farm, and of paying SQme attention to the points of cattle in bleeding, which primary objects we too often overlook. I MISSIONARIES. Lr 't0M A CoRRMroXDEXT.]—FuHy agreeing with t?h <? 'MM?? on the usefulness m their way of mission to the heathen, I nevertheless cannot denude myself of the conviction, that it is not exactly the time for levying contributions to supply savages with books, which they cannot read, when so many hundreds of our own honest and sorely distressed countrymen are actually in want uf a bit of bread to keep body and soul together. The time I say is most unseasonable. Last week a respectable person begged subscriptions here for something of the sort, from door to door; and next week I see this sort of thing is to be repeated in the town-hall. For the collec- tors, the individuals who travel through the country at the expense of the charitable, no time can be pleasanter the weather is beautiful, and an escape just now from the smoke of London is a blessing; but I much question whether what they collcct during the present season of popular suffering is much more than sufficient to defray their travelling expenses. What the surplus may be, ot course, I don't know but it must be small, and the ques- tion then seems to be this, whether we ought to give away our money to defray the peonal expenses of the agents or an overgrown Establishment, or whether our duty does not command us rather to stretch forth our hands to save the lives of our fellow-countrymen and their famishing families. For my part, sir, in thankfulness to God, who hath, ot his great croodness, given me some worldly sub- stance, as well as the heart to feel and the hand to relieve my fellow-creatures, I deem our brethren, the poor crea- tures who are dying at our door as it were, have at this calamitous crisis ot national suffering, stronger claims up- on us tor bread than the Bible and Missionary Societies' collectors can possibly possess for subscriptions. Surely the richest church in the world might abstain from send; Hig forth itinerant preachers whose discourses arc directed to the pocket only. am, sir, A CHRISTIAN MAS. R[F„ ROM A N CORRESPONDENT.] Much to the satis,, faction ot printers, I m sure, an d the public too, I think the prolix effusions of "Cambrensis" have at length been brought to a conclusion. I congratulate him on the ti rmination of his /warp labours. He has proved himself, it is true rather a tedious twaddle-monger; but it must also be allowed, that be has rode his hobby very hafm- ?e3 as we)) as not a little ludicruusiy. His 3clf-oom- pi (-it c yti, 10iit has been am?in? and the edifying gravity with which he has been reading hislonp-winde? 'ectures to the Bishop of St. David's cannot fail to hav? excited a tndle. Cambrensis, perhaps, canno' take a blrd's eye view, but he is a capital hand at findil)g a mare's nest, and in the proclamation of a truism is un- rivalled. It cannot, however, be said of Cambrousness that he is one of those writers who never tire us—he has even it seems tired himself; and the reason is, he has no. matter. He is prolix and prosy—full of monotonous trivialties, and tiresome repetitions he runs to lees gives us the rapid leavings of himself—and is, in short, a bore with many woreIs, and few, if any, distinct ideas. His common-places and platitudes however, have ceascd to sound-nnt a bray is now heard —the voice ofCambreBis i3 hushed, and perhaps, Scared at the sound himself has made," no has fled from the principality, and is peaceably browzing beneath some scant hut yet umbrageous living, 'v I 5?, iecding on hope, and hugging those superior claims which NN' ei?-h d c(se" I t i' eit'h dmcises have, with the fondness of a craving expectant.
