IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, JULY 11.—The House met before one o'clock to-day, in order to proceed in procession to Buck- ingham Palace, to present the Address adopted regarding the Committee and Minute of Council, &c., on the subject of General Education. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER.—Their Lordships resumed at five o'clock, when the Lord Chancellor said, My Lords. I have to inform jour Lordships that we have waited on her Mi.j-i.-ty with the Address voted by this House, to which her Majesty has been pleased to return this most gra- cious Auswer:- I (\:1: appreciate vonr zeal for the interests of religion, and jourcare lor the Established Church. I am ever ready to receive the ad vine ir-1 assistance of the House of Lords, and to give 10 their recommendations the attention which their authority jusl), deserves At the same time I cannot help expressing my regrei that von should have thought it necessary to take such a step on the prese nt occasion. You may he assured that, deeply sensible ot the dal.es imposed upon me, and more especially of that which hinds me Ie) the snpport of the Established Church, I shall alwajs use the powers vested in me ov the Constitution for the fulfilment ot tint s '.cred obligation. It is with a deep sense of that duty that I hIve thought it right to appoint a Committee of my Privv Councii !o superintend the distribution of the grants voted by the House of Commons for Public Education. Of the proceedings ol this Committee annual reports will be laid before Parliament, So that the House of Lords willlw enabled to exercise its judgment upon them and r trust that the funds placed at my disposal will be fousid to have been strictly applied lo the objects for which they were granted, with due respect to the rights of conscience, and with a faithful attention to the security of the Established Church." On the motion of the Marquis af Lansdowne, the answer was ordered to he entered on tttejournats. NEW POOR LAWS.—The Earl of Stanhope presented pe- ti iiiiis fioui John Berry, an aged and infirm pauper, and from Ann Wilden, an inmate of an union workhouse, cotn- plainin-r of great hardship and oppression tinder the opera- tion of the Sew Poor Law. After some discussion, in which the Noble Earl made use of some very unparliamen- tary laii^itaiie, and for which he afterwards expressed him- self sorry, the petitions were laid on the table. PRISONS BILL.—The Lord Chancellor, in moving the second reading of this bill, alluded to the late mitigation of the criminal code, and observed that it was now necessary to supply an effectual punishment for those offences in which death ha.1 been remitted. There were two means by which ciioie could be prevented one was by an effective police, of which, he was sorry to say,there was in most parts of the country a lamentable deficiency—(hear) -and the other was, by a wholesome system of prison discipline. If, as far as might be, thev were determined to improve prison discipline, they ought to enable the different counties, at their option, ro impose sufficient punishment under sentences for c; i HPS. The great object of this bill was to enable the magistrates of any county, if they should deem it expedient, to a lop; the system of separate confinement, and so to deal with persons under sentence as that, on leaving prison, these parties might become better subjects, and, as far as could be done, he brought to that state of mind which would pre- vent the repetition of offences.—The Marquis of Salisbury doubted whether it was desirable to allow the magistrates to h ive the power of making rules and regulations. In his opinion tiiey ought to be laid down by Act ot Parliament, and no person, however talented, ought to have the power of altrrin- rules. He trusted that a pledge would be given on !!ie part of her Majesty's Government, that they wOllld commence the new system by the erection of such a priso.) as might be regarded as a model for all others.— Lord Duncannon, replying to the last observation of the Noble M trtj is, stated that there was a motion before the other H0'1se of Parliament for a grant for that purpose; and tint he was himself in treaty for a piece of ground on which it was th" inten ion of her Majesty's Government to proceed with the least possible delay to erect a model prison. ( Hear, hear. )—The Duke of Richmond and Lord Chichester bore testimony to the beneficial working of the separate system whereever it ha I been tried. Their ex- perience wn chiefly confined to the county of Sussex.— The Duke of Wellington only objected to the bid because it did not jo r enough.—The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday.— Adj. FKID.lV, JULY 12.—A message from the Commons brought up certain bills. Lord Lyndhurst, at the request of Lord Brougham, de- ferred the second reading of Election Petitions Trial Bill from Tuesday to Friday next. PENNY POSTAGE.—Lord Brougham having presented sever. petitions in favour of Mr. R. Hill's plan of penny postage, :-oaid he wished to know whether the plan was only to be hi'Uight forward in the event of the revenue permit- ting if. or whether the plan was to be brought forward at all events.— Viscount Melbourne: The plan is to be brought forward at all events, care being taken to make good any deficiency v hich may be the consequence.— Lord Brougham: That is quite satisfactory.—Lord EUenborougk wished to know how a deficiency of 1,000,0001. could be made good without the imposition of a tax which would press heavily on the labouring classes?—Viscount Melbourne suvl that was matter fo consideration.—After a few words from Lord Ashhurton, Lord Brougham said he for one always thought there would be a defalcation, but not to the amount imagined by the Noble Lord opposite. If the people wished for this boon, of course they must pay tha price for it.—The Earl of Wickla w ih uglit it would be a farce to come to a resolution, pledging Parliament to make good any deficiency, unless it were expressly stated what tax it was intended to impose to make good such deficiency. THE BièER BILL —Lord Brougham, instead of pressing his Iicur Act in part Repeal Bill at present, moved a re- solution, declarator y that it was the opinion of their Lord- ships, that, with the view to the imp-ovement and happiness of the people, and the good order of the community, it was expe lient as speedily as possible, to place all beer houses on the same footing as were the houses of licensed victuallers in all respects whatsoever." He thought such a resolution would facilitate agreement between the two Houses as to a I measure.—The Marquis of Westminster was against the re- solution, as specious and unfair.—Lord Melbourne opposed it, because they nmst be perfectly well convinced that the Commons would not concur in it, and that it tended to bring back the old licensing system. He, therefore, moved the previous question.—After a few remarks from the Marquis of Salisbury, Lords Po tman an I De Lawarr, and the Duke of Richmond, their Lordships divided. The resolution was cariied by II to 3-t.-Lord Brougham afterwards stated (in answer to the Duke of Wellington) that he should embody the resolution in his bill, and move the third reading of the measure itself on Thursday next.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10.—Numerous petitions were presented in favour of a penny postage. CANADA.—Mr. Labouchere, in laying some papers on the table relative to Canada, said that he had been in error yesterday in saying that Sir John Colborne had not ex- pressed any opinion respecting the continuation of the powers of the Council of Lower Can ida. In looking over the despatches, he found the Gallant Officer had expressed averysnong opinion on the point. He had jnst laid it on the table, and he hoped it would be in a printed shape in the hands of Members to morrow. GERMANIC COMMERCIAL LEAGUE.—Mr. P. Thompson, in answer to Mr. Baines, said the approaching meeting of the nations, comprising the Commercial League, had been most anxiously considered by the Government. It was not their intention to send an officer of the rank of an envoy, but a gentleman would be there from this conntry of commercial abilities, who would watch over and infotm the Government of what was necessary to be done. PORTUGUESE SLAVE TRADE.— Lord Pahnerston obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the suppiession of the Slave Trade under the Portuguese flag. METROPOLIS POLICE BILL.—The House then went into Committee on this bill, and the discussion of the various clauses occupied the remainder of the evening. Many of the clauses were strongly objected to, and many divisions toook place upon them but in every instance, the majoiity of the House supported the views of the Government; and the House adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. THURSDAY, JULY 11.—J/r. Grote reported from the Select Committee appoin ed to try the merits of the petition against the return of F. Bruen, Esq. forCartow that the said F. Bruen w (s not duly elected, and ought not to have been returned, and that Thomas Gisborne, Esq. wasduh elected, and ought to have been retnrned, alld that neither the pe- tition nor the opposition there to was frivolous or vexatious. NEW EQUITY JUDGE.—Lord J. Russell (in answer to Sir E. Sug ton) said that it was not the intention to originate a bill in that House for an additional Judge in equi y. CHURCH BILL.—Sir R. Inglis, on the motion for the se- cond readingof the Cathedral and Ecclesiastical Preferments Suspension Bill (continuing last year's act on the like subject, for suspending certain preferments), asked if it was not calculated, being thus continued from year to year, to effect the object contemplated by the target-bin on "ecclesiastical duties and revenues," regarding which bill the Parliament had expressly reserved its opinion?—Lord J. Uussell ad- mitted that, if continued from year to year, such would be its operation but this bill was only required for the peculiar, special, and t jmporary reason, that the church commissioners, trho sought to effect a general plan by the larger measure, saw no likelihood of carrying that measure this session.— The bill was then read the second time, Sir R. Inglis ob. serving that he reserved his objections to details of the bill for the committee. FRIDA Y, JULY 12.—The Clerk of the Crown having amended the return for the Borough of Carlow, Mr. Gisborne, jun., took the oaths and his seat. Numerous petitions were presented in favour of Mr. R. Hill's plan of penny postage; among which was one from the bankers, merchants, and inhabitants of the city of London, signed by upwards of 6000 persons. Lord J. Russell, in answer to Colonel Wood, said that he proposed to proceed with the Collection of Rates Bill, to introduce some alterations, and to afford full opportunity for fair discussion.—With respect to the Town Councils Bill the Noble Lord added (in reply to Sir. J. Graham), that lie did not intend to press it this Session.—He also said, in answer to Mr. Packington, that he could not fix a day for the further proceeding on the Sale of Beer B H. THE NATIONAL PETITION.—Mr. T. Attwood then rose to bring forward his motion, that the House resolve itself into Committee of the whole House for the purpose ot taking into consideration the National Petition, praying for Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and Vote by Ballot. The Hon. Member dwelt at great length on the sufferings of the industrious workmen, and the embarrassment of the masters, which he attributed to the neglect of the Legisla- tore of the petitions of the labouring classes, but more par- ticularly to the unhealthy currency of the country. The petition which he had presented was signed by twelve hun- dred and eighty-five thousand individuals, who considered that the only remedy for their distress was in the adoption of the prayer of that petition, which, if granted, would make the poor man happy at his fire-side. The Honourable Member then proceeded to shew in what manner the grant- ing of the prayer of the petitioners would give to the work- ing classes that uninterrupted prosperity to which tbey were entitled. The petitioners said they had a right to live by honest labour, but that this was denied them; that the fluctuations which had taken place had given them short seasons of doubtful prosperity, and long seasons of leal idversity. They said that when their hopes were broken Ipvvn by disappointment, after inquiring into the pauses of If the national misery, they could find no cause in natu e nor Providence; they said that I he Almighty bad been kind and beneficient to England above all olher nation., of the earth —that He had given it a heroic people, the most in- tellectual and talented people on the earth—that He had .liven it a fine soil and good climate, and every blessing of ivers and harbours; and yet they said they endmedevery misery, at'rer twenty-two years of profound peace. They therefore asked the light of living bv their labour, and, if that should he refused, th»v demanded their ancient rights and lioerties in the Constitution, that they might see whether they could not make it work well, and answer the purposes for which it was devised, in the same manner thai their forefathers did" Mr. Fielden, in seconding the motion, declared that a pro- Dertv tax furnished the most effective means of removiug the existing distress expressing at the same time his op nion that universal suffrage must precede the imposition of a pro- perty tax. Lord J. Russell denied the existence of distress amongst the working people to the extent insisted on by the Mem- bers for Birmingham and Oldham. He could not conceive any form of political government, or mode of legislation, by which they could ensure to the whole community of a country a pc petual and lasting state of prosperity, or by which, in a country depending very much upon commerce and manufactures, they could prevent that state of low wages and consequent dshess which at all times affected those who were at the bottom of the scaHe, or prevent those alternate fluctuations from prospcriiy to distress which oc- curred in every community of the kind. With respect It) the currency of America, which had been eulogised by the Hon. Member for Birmingham, the Noble Lord said that there were six hundred kinds offoraed money afloat in (he United States; so that not much could be said in favour of a cnrrency which admitted of such temptations to evil. The Noble Lord was of opinion that the majority of the people of England did not ask what was sought for in the petition; nay, even the leaders of the Chartists were directly opposed to the panacea of flooding the country with paper money. Chartism, he maintained, was not the political faith of the great majority of the people of this country. On the contrary, Chaitism appeared to him to lie the result of agitation on the part of active and in many cases unprin- cipled men. As to the numbers, again, who had signed the petition, the Noble Lord professed himseif somewhat puzzled to understand why a million of petitioners should be described as representing the national will, when a million of electors- the number of the present possessors of the elective fran- chise—should be treated by the Chartist with contempt so unmeasured. The Noble Lord declared that if he did be- lieve in the existence of distress amongst the working people, as deep as the Hon. Member assumed it to be-still be should deny that universal suffrage supplied the appropriate remedy. How," exclaimed the Noble Lord, may uni- versal suffrage give the workman bread ? How may any change in the electoral franchise remove those evils that we see around lis-evils inseparable from every form of so- ciety?" In conclusion the Noble Lord said he should op- pose the motion. A Committee, he was persuaded, would only cause alarm and distrust, not in the minds of the Aris- tocracy, but amongst the temperate of the middle and working classes. He denied that the workhouses were crowded and the factories deserted, as had been alleged and in proof of the increased comfo t of the working popula- tion, there was at that moment a larger amount of money in the Savings Bauks than had been the case at any previous period. JJJr. D israeli observed, that the present movement was one of no ordinary character--one, of which the inflllpnces were not likely soon to die away. The discontent which prevailed had been ascribed to causes pueiy economical, or tocausesexciusiveiypohiicat. He doubted the accnracy ofboth theories. Heascribedtheexisiingdiscontenttoa widely-spread apprehension that the civil libe< ties of English- men were in danger. These liberties have been most grievously trenched upon since the passing of the Reform Bill. The error of that measure consisted in its having transferred political power to classes of men, who were not charged at the same time with weighty social re- sponsibilities. Under the old Constitution, the depositaries of political power administered the taw throughout the parishes of England-huilt bridges —repaired roads-I elieved the poor. These duties operated more or less as a check on the abuse of political power. But the Reform Bill trans- ferred political power from this class to a chssof men IIn- burdened with social doties of the same important character. The new constituencies thus unchecked naturally desired to savetbeirtimeandtheirmoney. In order to secure their money, they passed the new Poor Law; in order to save their time, they clamoured for cheap" and centralized government. After a long discuss'on, in which a great variety of opinions were broached as to the causes of the discontent and the remedies to be applied, the House divided; when the numbers were—for the motion 4G; against it 235—ma- joiity 189. CANADA.—On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir W. Moleswovth moved a reso- lution declaratory "That it is the opinion of this House that every consideration of humanity, justice, and policy demands that Parliament should serionsly apply itself, without delay, to legislating for the permanent Govern- ment of her Majes y's Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada." As he considered her Majesty's Government totally incapahle of dealing with the subject, he addressed the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir n. Peel) as the only power capable of satisfying the exigency of the time. He antici- pated, indeed, that the lateness of the season would be nrred as an answer to his request, and professed himself fllilyalive to the approach of the 12th of August, the sta- tutory commencement of grouse shooting; but he ventured to think that a subject of so much importance as the settle- ment of our North American Colonies might be allowed to supersede even the attraction of the moors.— Mr. Leader seconded the amendment. — Sir Charles Grey spoke at some length, enlarging upon the ditneuttiesof the current Session, and shewed that at least some ground had been laid on which future arrangements might be based.—Sir U. Peel reminded the Honse that the esponsibility for the repro- bated delay in no degree rested on him. He had repeatedly inquired whether Ministers intended to proceed with any practicaNegistation. He hall warned them of the necessity of producing their plan for consideration before Easter; and if he could have foreseen this abandonment, he would him- self have prepared a measure. He thought, however, that the Honse would be blameable indeed if they did notiusist, at the commencement of the next Session, on learning ex- plicitly the intentions of Ministers. The Government must dlelllHingforward a measure founded on its own information, or else the House must examine into the whole subject by evidence at its bar. TheCanadians having bytheitbravery and loyalty shewn their wish aod their title to retain the character of Englishmen, it was the duty of Parliament to meet that feeling, and to give them a Constitution which would work for their benefit.—Lord J. Russell repudiated the authority of the Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Molesworth), whose advice, if followed, would have dissolved the con- nexion of these Colonies with the Mother Country. As to the questions put by the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) in the earlier part of the Session. Ministers had not gathered from them whether he did or not think it necessary that the legislation should be immediate. It had been mainly retarded by the state of parties. Government had now arrived at the opinion that the best scheme of settle- ment was the nnion of the two Provinces—not because that course was one of unmixed good. but by reason of the still greater difficulties attendant on every other plan. The object was to attain a representation in which British feelings should ultimately preponderate. — Mr. Labouchere defended the powers of taxation conferred by the bill, shewing that (chiefly from the substitution of Colonial for British manu- factures, and the consequent diminution of import duties) the revenue in Canada had fallen from 153,000l. to 90,000l. a-year, so as to starve almost every object of public im- portance, even the police itself. He assured the House that Ministers had been most solicitous to effect a settlement, but that the fillll balance, in their best judgment, had been for dehy rather than for incomplete legislation. Sir E. Sugden said, the object of Ministers was, that under this bill the Governor and Council should be preparing the ground for the proposed nnion; but he objected thus to pave the way for a measure which the House had neither sanctioned nor seen.—The House then divided, when the numbers were—for the amendment, 23; against it, 223; majority, 195.—The House then went into Committee, and the different clauses were agreed to.—Adj. PENNY POSTAGE.—On the order of the day for bringing up this report on the Post-office Acts, Mr. Goulbourn moved a series of resolutions to the effect, that it was the opinion of this House, that with a deficiency of revenue, it was not expedient to adopt a penny postage system at the present peiiod of the Session, when it could not command the de- liberate attention it should receive from Parliament.—The rhancellor of tlte Exchequer opposed the resolutions, and re- peated what he had previously stated, that he should not think himself justified in pressing the penny postage resolu- tions, if he did not receive a pledge from the Honse that any deficiency arising from the adoption of the measure would be made good. — Sir R. Peelohjected to any such pledge. He would rather pass the plan without than with the pledge. He had heard with much satisfaction, at a previous part of of the evening, when they weie discussing another subject, that it was the determination of all Hon. Gentlemen, of whatever party, and whatever measures of national repre- sentation were adopted, whether universal suffrage, triennial parliaments, or annnal parliaments, &c., to maintain the public credit. Let them not, then, leave as an example and as a legacy to their successors the course of conduct now pursued by the Government.—Mr. P. Thompson urged the necessity of trying an experiment which was one of the most beneficial trials of reduction of taxation that had ever been attempted.—Mr. Warburton was satisfied there would be no deficiency of revenue, but on the contrary, the accu- mulation of correspondence would biing a large increase to the revenue of the country.—Lord Sandim said, that the postage of letters should not be regarded as a source of revenue, but as a means of stimulating the revenue. He approved of the course adopted by the Right Hon. Baronet, looking to the position which he held in the House, and he thought that he was entitled to throw the whole responsi- bility of the measure upon her Majesty's Ministers.—The House divided, when there appeared for the original motion 213, against it 113; majority in favour of the motion 100.— Sir R. Peel then proposed to leave out of the resolution all words pledging the House to make good any deficiency that might result from the adoption of the plan.—The Chancellot of the Exchequer said, that if the House agreed to the Right Hon. Baronet's amendment, he should proceed no further in the measure.—The House again divided, when the num- bers were—for the original motion 184, for the amendment 125; majority in favour of Ministers 59.—The report was then agreed to. On the motion of Sir C. Knightley, seconded by Mr. Grote, it was ordered that the report and evidence of the Carlow Election Committee be printed.—Adj.
MISCELLANEOUS. 1
MISCELLANEOUS. 1 THE QUEEN.—Her Majesty continues her equestrian exercise almost daily, in which she is always attended by Miss Quentiu, the daughter of Sir George Quentin. This young lady, though holding no specific appointment in the Royal Household, might very properly be styled equestrian lady-in-waiting, as it is her duty to prep re and train the horses destined for her Majesty's own use, assist her Majesty in mounting and dismounting—in short, to form all the petite soins usually formed by attendant cavaliers on maidens of lesser degree. Miss Quentin is a first-rate horsewoman, and has trained five horses for the special use of the Queen. She rides from Kew every morning to attend her Majesty. — Cheltenham Looker-on. THI-. QPKRN'S CHKRSB. — ON the anniversary of the Queen's coronation the inhabitants of WestPonnardcon)- menced the making of the large cheese to be presented to her Majesty. The produce of the iniiking of every cow in the parish, 731 in illlmhcr, was brought in by alllhe young girls of the parish, who had an ample breakfast prepaied for them. A vast machine has been constructed to make this cheese.— Bath Herald. PENNY POSTAGE.—On Wednesday a meeting upon the subject of the proposed penny postage was held at the Mansion House (the Lord Mayor in the chair), and a reso- lution agreed to, which, if adopted, may quiet the alarms of the paper-manufacturers. According to this resolution, it is proposed to ensure the tran-rnission of letters at the penny charge by attaching to the letter, written upon no matter what paper, a small adhesive stamp, such as are trow attached to patent medicines, fixed like the ornamental wafers lately come into use. This stamp, if sufficiently secured to adhere while the letter should pass the inspection of thenr-tpost- office, would be then marked with the post-oiffce mark to prevent its being employed a second time, and the letter would go free though the stamp should fail off or be rubbed off We ate convinced (says the Stindard) that a penny post:1ge,"ill have done more at the end of ten years to pro- mote education than any amount of parliamentary grants." THE NATIONAL EDUCATION SCHHMB.—The following is a copy of Lnrd Cloneurry's protest against agreeing to the address to her Majesty on the Archbishop of Canterbury's Resolutions on Education — D ■ ssrnlwnt, 1. Because the Church of England, as by law established, has been for three centuries iu possession of great wealth, and. being intrusted with the education of the people have not performed their duty in that respect, as has been proved by the gross ignorance of the peasantry, more particularly in the vicinity of Canterbury. 2. Because the Church of England established in Ireland, in- finitely more wealthy than the Church in England, had, for 70 years and upwards the disposal of enormous Parliamentary grants, and of other vast funds for the support of charter and olher schools, into whidl a catechism was introduced, teaching the Roman Calholic children that their parenls were wicked alid damnable heretic, llierebv destroying the most entlearing dut:es ol social life, and the charter schools were ultimately and of ne- cessity closed in consequence of their proved immorality, and the pollution in some instances of the infant scholars by the musters. Mr. O CoNNELL AND THE W ESLEYAN'S.— MR. O'Coil- nell has taken to task the Wesleyans of Manchester, to whom he has addressed a long letter accusing them of bigotry and injustice. Their reprehensible opposition to the Minis- terial scheme of education has drawn down upon them Mr. O'Connell's severe castigation. CARLOW ELECTION.—The Committee for trying the merits of the election of Colonel Bruen (an ultra Tory) terminated their labours on Thursday, by declaring that Mr. Bruen was not duly elected, and ought not to have been returned, and that Mr. Gisborne, jun. (a Liberal) was duly elected, and ought to have, been returned. The inquiry was one of the most costly and dilatory Election Committees ever known in the history of disputed returns, the scrutiny of thirty-five votes occupying (39 days, at a cost to the parties of 20,0001., besides the expenditure of the election One madman's vote," as it was termed, but ultimately sustained cost 12001., and the expense of trying each disputed quali- fication exceeded on an average the value of the house giving the right to vote! IPSWICH ELECTION.—Oil Friday the nomination for this borough, vacant oy the resignation of Mr. Gibson, who retired to give the Conservative Electors an opportunity of returning a representative of m re "congenial feelings'"— having himself abandoned Toryism for Liberal opinions— took place on Corn-hill, where a temporary platform was erected in front of the Town Hall, the Candidates being the late Member and Sir Thomas (son of the late Admiral) Cochrane, the latter in the Conservative and Mr. Gibson now avowedly in the Liberal interest. A ino^t disgraceful scene was enacted whilst the oath was being administered to the Returning Officer. A ruffian of the Conservative Can- didate, dressed in a turn-coat, held np a rope and cap affixed to a gibbet, and the party went through the mock ceremony of hanging him, evincing a desire not to listen to anything but their own "sweet voices.Sir R. Hartland, in pro- posing Mr. Gibson, was grossly assailed by rotten eggs, and a row ensued, the Liberals driving the opposing forces fiom the front position.—Mr. F. F. Seecombe seconded the no- mination.—Sir Charlt's Vere and Mr. Cobbold proposed and seconded Sir Thomas Cochrane.—Mr. Gibson, in a length- ened address, gave as a reason for his change of opinion, that there was no reliance on Tories, and that even their great leader Sir Robert Peel coutd "turn about and wheel about and jump just so" as suited his purpose. Had not the I Right Hon. Gentleman, he would ask, grown wary upon many great quesiioiis, in opposing which his laurels and his fame had been acquired? Had not Sir R. Peel made a great name for himself by opposing the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. and in opposing Catholic Emancipa- tion and yet was not Sir R. Peel, the man who had come down to the House of Commons, and who, retaining office though he had resigned his seat, proposed the very measures which he had all his life been opposing? Did not most of the Bishops in the House of Lords do the same thing and the man in whose Tory principles they had the most confi- dence-Lord Eldon-declared that they were traitors, and deserved to be execrated. Now he was to be told that greai men might do these things —they may be inconsistent — but that little men move within a very limited scope, and must not venture to think otherwise than M:. Holmes, or some other whipper-in thinks proper that they should—are bound to obey the behests of those who say, Do not vote against your party, but pray vote against your piinciples never mind principles if we can turn these men out." This was the leading feature of Tory tactics, which he could no longer approve. He was now in the hands of the electors, and it was for them to decide, whether, knowing his princi- ples, they would give him their suffrages, or support his honourable opponent, as a thoiongh-going Tory. On a show of hands being called for, two-thirds of those present held up their hands in favour of Mr. Gibson, and the Mayor decided Ihe show of hands to be in his favour. A poll was demanded on the pai t of Sir Thomas Cochrane by Mr. Cob- botd after which the friends of the respective parties peaceably separated.—The election commenced on Saturday morning at eight o'clock, and continued with unabated spirit till four, when the books were closed. Up to three o'clock Mr. Gibson headed the poll, but during the last hour, the "high-priced" freemen were brought up, and turned the scale, giving a majority of eight to tiir Thomas Cochrane— the numbers declared being, for Sir Thomas, G20 for Mr. Gibson, 612.—It is understood that a petition will be pre- sented against the return of Sir Thomas, on the ground of extensive bribery and if all that is said be true, he will not long retain his seat. TIIK OLD ROYAL OEORGE. ——Col. Pasleyof (lie Royal Engineers, whose abilities are so well known, has received orders to remove the wrecklof the Royal George, by the sirae means he so effectually employed in the Thames, in clearing that river. It is little creditable to former govern- ments, that this impediment in the principal anchorage of the empire should have been allowed so long to exist; and their apathy is more surprising from the example shown by the French, who have long since got up all the wrecks left atTouton, by Lord Hood and Sir Sydney Smith, at the evacuation of that port in 1793—and we hope that this will be applied to other similar inconveniences. THE BRITISH QUEEN STEAM Snip.—On Friday the British Queen steam ship arrived at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall. The dimensions of this noble vessel are-length, from figure-head to taffrail, 275 feet; length of upper deck, 251 feet; hreadth between the paddle-boxes, 55 feet; breadth entire 64 feet; and depth of hold, 27 feet. Nu- merous visitors obtained tickets from the Directors, and on Monday not fewer than 7000 persons availed themselves of the opportunity. Among them were, Lords Lyndhurst, Londonderry, and Kenyon, and many Ladies of rank. It has been a nice windfall tor the watermen, who charged 6d. a-head to put the pat ties on board and onshore. On Tues- day the visitors were equally numerous; and on Wednes- day at 10 A.M. this stupendous vcssclleft the River for New York, calling at Portsmouth on her way, to receive those passengers who did not embark in London. The number of passengers who have engaged berths is 220, and with her crew, engineers, stokeis, firemen, and servants, she will take out no less than 329 persons. An abundant supply of provisions, wines, and stores, have been laid in for the voy- age, and the passengers will be provided with every comfort, and fare sumptuously. The British Queen has on board about 800 tons of goods, besides 600 tons of coals, and the stores and provisions. She is the largest merchant ship tint ever left this or any other port and when she leaves Portsmouth, property to the amount of a million and a half sterling will be afloat, probably the richest ship and cargo that ever sailed on the ocean. AN AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—On Wednesday morning, soon after seven o'clock, a hostile meeting took place in Copenhagen-fields, between Mr. R., a gentleman residing at Bayswater, and a military officer on half-pay. It is stated that Mr. R., and some young ladies, relatives of his were viewing' the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, when they were followed by the officer, and one of the ladies was re- peatedly spoken tobyhhn. Mr. II., feeling indignant at such conduct, remonstrated with him on the impropriety of it, when words of an unpleasant nature occurred, which caused the meeting. Mr. R., attended by two gentlemen, arrived in a chaise about seven o'clock, and was almost im- mediately followed by his antagonist. The seconds having measured the distance (twelve paces), and endeavoured, but ineffectually, to bring about a reconciliation, an ex- change of shots took place, when the officer received the contents of Mr. R's pistol in the thick part of his thigh. Mr. R. was slightly wounded in his pistol hand. Both gen- tlemen, expressing themselves "perfectly satisfied," shook hands, and were conveyed from the ground to their res- pective residences. GIN-DRINKING.—During many year's experience in visiting the poor, says Mr. Poynder, under-sheriff of Lon- don, I have been led to refer the largest portion of their poverty and misery to the operation of spirituous liquors. I will illustrate my views under the following heads:—I. The obduracy or hardness of heart which the habit induces. 2. The distaste for labour and the waste of time which it produces. 3. The infatuating character of the habit, and difficulty of abandoning it. 4. The neglect of and contempt for religion and religious institutions of the conntry which are produced by it. 5. The injury to health aud life which are consequent upon it. "AMBITION -In the Insolvent Debtors' Court on Tuesday a j'urnevman bricklayer, named Spracklan, made his appearance. He said he had become a candidate for an assistant Clerkship in the Westminster Court of Sewers. He had been disappointed in the object of his ambition," and ascribed his appearance in th's Court to the circumstance. He had to canvass personally 500 "commissioners;" he had to dress well, and was obliged to negiect his business. He said he shut up a shop he kept, as there was a "rule of court" that no person in business should be a candidate. The result of his ambition was that he had got himself into prison. He uas ordered to be discharged. MiiOicu, DH'LOM\S.—-In a case decided 011 Tuesday in the Sheriff's Court, it was rllled by the Under Sheriff thit the mere p) eduction of a medical diploma was insufficient to entitle a surgeon apothecary to recover hIS bill from a customer w ithont the presence of an indh idual from Apothe- caries' Hall to testify as to the authenticity of the diploma. The Under Sheriff stated that in the higher courts of law the judges differed on that point, some of those learned personages declaring that the production of a diploma was amply sufficient, while others maintained that all authorised person from the lia; I was indispensably requisite. Ct'TTI'\G AND MUMING.—On Wednesday, William Henry, a Greenwich pensioner, eighty-six years of age, was indicted ai the Central Criminal Court for cutting, and wounding another Greenwich pensioner, named Edward Adam». The prisoner and prosecutor were inmates of Greenwich Hospital. It appears that according to the re- gulations of the hospital the pensioners draw lots for the choice of rations. On the 20th of June last the prosecutor asked the prisoner to draw, but he refused to do so, and the prosecutor drew for him. Adams then turned towards another man named Jones, when the prisoner stabbed him with a knife in the back. He was confined, in consequence of tile woiiiiii, three weeks. There had been no previous difference between the parties, who had always been on the most friendly terms.—The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with such labour as his age would enable him to bear. V I)I-I,IC RC INVESTIGATION. —In the 3d and 4th William IV,cap. 53, intilllled," An Act for the prevention of smuggling," there is a clause to protect the public from vexatious examinations by custom-house officers, under a penalty of lOl. to be inflicted on the offending party. A few days since, a female searcher named Elizabeth Gaston, belonging to the City of Boulogne steam vessel, was charged with having searched two young ladies who were on board that vessel, without having any reasonable ground to sup- pose that they had any uncustomed or prohibited goods about their persons. It appeared that the searcher had been set on by the stewardess of the vessel, who was dissa- tisfied with thq^gratuity offered to her by the ladies. The solicitor to the revenue on the part of the searcher, assuied the magistrate- that young ladies of as respectable appear- ance as complainants, were in the habit of hiding about themselves goods of the most valuable description that lace was frequently deposited in the bustles they wore behind, under their wigs, in the lining of their drawers, in the seams of iheir petticoats and stays, and that jewellery and other costly articles were, in fact, found in all parts about them from head to toe. As such modes of concealment were constantly adopted, if the searcher were not allowed to ex- am ne critically, the duties would be of no avail. The Lord Mayor, however, decided upon the evidence that there had been no reasonable ground" for the search, and therefore fined Elizabeth Gaston in the penalty of lot., together with costs. RIOT AT RAMSGATE.—The hitherto peaceable town of Ramsgate was on Monday thrown into a state of consi- derable excitement, in consequence of the conviction of several fishermen for hawking fish about the streets. After the puolic business was disposed of, and while the commit- ments for the prisoners were being made out, large numbers of persons, principally consisting of Torb iy fishermen and women, continued to assemble before the building appro- priated for the use of the Magistrates, were the prisoners were confined. Every minute brought an accession to the numhets, until about three o'clock the mob had increased to neatly 1;000. At this time a pair-horse fish-van arrived, for the purpose of conveying the prisoners to Sandwich Gaol, when a tremendous rush was made at the vehicle, and its progress immediately arrested. The prisoners then made their appearance at the windows, and called upon the mob to rescue them, to which they were energetically urged by the concourse of women assembled. This was the signal for action; the mob surrounded the van, and literally 0"' earned it some yards from the building. This was followed by uproarious huzzas and cheering, with the destruction of every window in the building. The police, comprising only seven or eight men in all now made their appearance ont- side, and endeavoured to disperse the mob, when they were assailed with showers of stones and other missiles, and were soon compelled to retreat within the building. The mob now became more desperate than before, and no reinforce- ment to the police aniving, they commenced demolishing the window frame and shutters which were partly closed. A simultaneous rush then took place at the doors which quickly gave way, and the prisoners, accompanied with three others, committed for an assault, made their escape amid the most deafening cheers of the mob. In attempting to seen ie one of the most active of Ihe rioters, police eon- stable Ellis, and one of the harbour police, were fallen upon by the mob, and most cowardly and brutally ill-used, parti- cularly Ellis, whom they dragged along the ground, and kicked, and otherwise maltreated in a most disgraceful man- ner. Tuesday morning one of the prisoners, James Buzzy, was apprehended and conveyed to Sandwich gaol.

ASHLEY COOPER'S BOTANICAL PURIFY- ING PII/LS are established by thirty years' experience, are prescribed by most of the eminent Physician-, and Surgeons in London, and are always administered at several public Hospitals, as the only certain remedy for Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Strictures, and all other forms of Venereal Diseases in either sex, curing in a few days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. Their operation is imperceptible they do not require the slightest confinement, or any alteration of diet, beverage, or ex- ercise They do not disagree with the stomach, nor cause any offensive smell to the breath, as is the case with all other medi- cines in use for these complaints and alter a cure effected by 1 lie use ot these pills, the party will not experience any return of the complaint, as generally occurs after taking Balsam of Copuiba, and other drugs of the like nature, which, only possessing a local action, merely suppress the complaint for a time without eradi- cating; it from the constitution, and the patients on undergoing a little more fatigue than ordinary, find all the symptoms return, and that they are suffering under the complaint as much as at first, and are at last constrained to have recourse to these pills as the only eertain cure. They are likewise a most efficient remedy for Pimpled Faces, Scnrf, Scorbutic affections, and Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Legs, and all oilier complaints arising from an impnre state of the blood. Captains of vessels should make a point of al way s taking them to sea, their unrivalled eiiicacy in curing scurvy being known throughout the world. The following letter, selected from numerous other professional recommendations forwarded to the proprietor when he first ottered these pills to the public, may be considered interesting. From that eminent Surgeon, the late Joshua Brookes, Esq. F.R.S. Professor of Anatomy, &c. &c. Theatre of Anatomy, Blenheim-street. Dear Cooper—I have tried your pills in numerous instances, and my candid opinion jg, that lliey are a most improved system of treatment for those peculiar complaints for which you recommend Ihem, curing with rapidity, and with a certainty that I had never before witnessed; but what I consider their most valuable property is, thai they entirely eradicate the complaint, and never leave those distressing secolldary symptoms (that hanass the patient for life) which usually arise after the use of (hose uncertain remedies, Mercury and Copaiba. I think you cannot fail to itave a very large sale for them. Believe me yours, very truly, JOSHUA BROOKES." Dr. Borragan presents his compliments to Messrs. Hannay and Co., and writes to say, that having for some years prescribed Ashley Cooper's Fills to his patients with I lie most successful results, he feels called upon lo add his testimony to their great eiffcacy in curing sexual diseases, and they deserve well 01 the public and profession. The l'nrifj ing Drops are also a most Invalllable antiscorbutic medicine. Dr. It. has found them to be a decided specific for those eruptions of the skin which frequently appear at the rise and fall of the year." Ashley Cooper's Botanical Purifying Pills are so!d in boxes at 2s.9d. and 4s.Gd. each, wholesale and retail, at Hannay and Co.'s General Patent Medicine Warehouse, 63, Oxford-street, Ihe corner of Well-street, London, where the public can be supplied with every Patent Medicine of repute ( with an allowance on taking six at one time), warranted genuine and fresh from the various makers.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, Price 2s. 9d., 4.9. (id. and Its per box, are well known throughout Europe and America, to bethe most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhaua, Gleets, Secondary Symptoms, Stric- tores, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business they have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, hot when salivation and all oilier means have fnited and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the Venereal Disease, frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety, the eradication is generally completed in a few days; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection, characterized by a variety of painful aud distressing symptoms, a perseverance in the Specific Pills, and to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise, will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical core. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who by the use of thatdeadiy poison, mercury, rnin the constitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears. deafness, obstinate gleets, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. In those dreadful cases of sexual debility, brought on by an early and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, frequently acquired without the knowledge of the dreadful consequences resulting therefrom, and which not only entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities ot old age, and occasion the necessity of renouncing the felicities of marriage to those who have given way to this delusive and destructive habit, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, producing melancholy, deficiency, and a numerous train of nervous alleclions. In these distressing cases, whether the consequence 01 such baneful habits, or any other cause, R ceitain and speedv cure may be relied on by taking Perry's Purifying Specific Pills, and by a strict attention to the directions pointed out in the Treatise, which fully explains the dreadful results arising from these melancholy cases. Messrs. Perry and Co. Surgeons, may be consulted as asual at No. 4, Great Charles Street, Birmingham, and 23, Slater Street, Liverpool. Only one personal vtsit is required from a country patient, to enable Messrs. Perry and Co. to give such advice, as will be the means or effecting a permanent and effectual cure, after all other means have proved ineffectual. Letters for advice must be post-paid, and contain the usual fee of one pound.

Ut sanis alimenta, sic aeyris 8anilalem medicina prœbel." *T1H ERE is a host of complaints which plunge those they afflict into circumstances the most painful and dis- tressing; for feelings of a delicate nature, and requiring the most unqualified secresy, generally prevent the consultations or a me- dical friend in whom confidence is placed and however consum- mate his abilities or extensive his practice, he cannot offer that certainty of success enjoyed by practitioners who have devoled tùeir exclusive allelltion to the complaiuls ill question and who are equally supplied wiih the requisite qualifications of the re- cognised College of Physicians, i £ c. We therefore with confidence invite the youth who has unhap- pily acquired debility hy that strangely fascinating sin, that he may be advised to renovate his emaciated constitution, and avail himself of such remedies as cannot fail to reinstate him in his condition in society which have in many hundreds of cases ueeø attended with the most satisfactory and gratifying rio/suits. These are a variety of diseases of the generative system, arising, in some from too free an indulgence in the passions, and in others from the relaxing influence of warm climates. However con- firmed "uch diseases may have become, we nevertheless promise every restoration to health and vigour. We also invite the disappointed married female that the reme- dies and advice recommended and adopted by us, will not fail to give that relief she may reasonably appreciate, and learn with consolation that a steady perseverance in medicines prescribed by us, will reinstate general health, so as to remove hidden causes. So that the result will be crowned with the blessings of maternity. In conclusion, we invite the man of pleasure, labouring under syphilis and its concomitants, such as gonorrhea, gleet, slnctures, &c., who, from distrust in the malpractices of the empiric, is left more or less to his own resources—the most hazardous and dan- gerous of all alternatives, to submit himself to our care and treat- ment, and we hesitate not to hold out the surest hopes of a speedy restoration to pristine health and vigour. We are consulted by all classes, from the man of rank down to the humblest grade of operative mechanics; and experience of more than twenty-five years' standing fully justifies the confidence we place in the treat- ment we employ, and which has been invariably crowned witb eve) ydesirabte success. DR.GALLEN and Co., Consulting Surgeons, may be consulted daily at their Residence and patients in the lemotest part of the globe can be treated successfully on describing their case mi- nutely, which will be immediately answered. Their letters must contain a Remittance for Advice and Medicine, which c in be for- warded to any part of the world, however distant. No difficulty can arise, as the medicine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation. Doctor Gallen and Co., M.R.C.S. 5, Grainplon-quav, Dublin.
