HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, JUNE 23. The Marquess of Normanby drew their lordships' attention to the fact that the Bishop of London, who had signed the protest against the third reading of the Maynooth Bill, had not been present at the time the question on the third reading of the bill had been put. The Bishop of London apologised for his inadvertence, and withdrew his name from the protest. Lord Stanley refused to accede to the request of the Marquess of Londonderry to postpone the second reading of the Land- lords and Tenants (Ireland) bill. In answer to the Marquess of Lansdowne, the Earl of Dal- housie explained the practice of the Board of Trade, with re- gard to reports of accidents on railways. The Small Debts Bill was read a second time, after a short discussion. The Duke of Richmond, at the request of several noble lords, postponed the Scotch Toll-bar Bill, until Friday. The Charitable Trusts bill passed through Committee. The Earl of Ripon moved the second reading of the Scotch Banking Bill. The Earl of Radnor considered the Bill as an unnecessary interference with the system of banking in Scotland. The house was subsquently addressed by Lord Kinnaird and the Earl of Dalhousie, and the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their lord- ships adjourned. TUESDAY, JrNE 21. LORD CAMPBELL'S BILLS. Lord Campbell said that, at the earnest request of those for whose opinion he had the sincerest respect, he begged leave to lay upon the table three bills—(hear and a laugh)—from which he trusted that the public would still derive very great benefit. If he were only to consult his own ease and comfort he should wash his hands of these bills; but really, in the discharge of his Jpublic duty, he felt bound to bring them forward, for he feared that, from what he believed to be a mere misapprehen- sion, the public had been in danger of losing the benefit that was to be derived from them. When these bills were last before them the name of an honourable and learned gentleman (Mr. Serjeant Murphy) had been mentioned, and he was sure their lordships would bear him out that he (Lord Campbell) had said nothing of that learned serjeant which could be at all offensive to him. (Hear, hear.) And he must also state that he believed if the learned serjeant had himself been present, he would have been aware that what had fallen from his two noble friends was perfectly good humoured, and should not have given him the slightest uneasiness. (Hear, hear.) All who knew Mr. Serjeant Murphy must have the highest opinion of him, except those, who thought that learning could not be combined with exquisite humour (Hear.) The noble lord then proceeded to recapitu- late the leading features of his three measures, and concluded by moving that they be read in succession a first time. After a few words from Lord Brougham, The Lord Chancellor said that he owed some apology to the earned serjeant for some words which had escaped him when he said that the "noble lord's bills had becu sacrificed to a joke." lie was not aware at the time that his noble friend (Lord Campbell) had written to the learned serjeant (Murphy) saying that he did not wish him individually to proceed with the bills, and that he was at perfect liberty to transfer them to the care of the hon. memberffJr Cirencester. Had the learned serjeant been at the bar of their lordships' house when the ob- servations referred to were made, he would have seen at once that all had been said in a spirit of perfect good humour.— (Hear, hear.) The bills were then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. In reply to a question from the Marquess of Breadalbane the Earl of Aberdeen defended the conduct of the government, with regard to the case of Dr. Kalley, of Madeira, and declared that the treatment that gentleman and his converts had met with at the hands of the Portuguese Government was quite sanctioned by the laws of Portugal. IRISH TENANTS' COMPENSATION HILL. Lord Stanley having moved the second reading of this bill, The Marquess of Londonderry said, that he had in his hand a protest signed by thirty-six peors, complaining of the mea- sure, as destructive of the rights of property. In his opinion the bill contained some most objectionable clauses, particularly that providing for the Commissioner at Dublin and his assis- tants, who were to exercise inquisitorial powers over landlords, and could not fail to excite their utmost jealousy. It would be much better to leave Ireland to herself than to force measures such as this against the landed interest. The noble lord con- cluded by reading the protest, and expressing his most decided hostility to the bill. Lord Stanley did not think that the objections urged against this bill were strong enough to induce him to withdraw it; the best. plan would be to refer it to a select committee without further discussion on the present occasion. The Earl of Wicklow and Earl Fortescue considered the com- pulsory clauses as essential, and that the great object of the bill would be defeated if they were struck out. Lord Monteagle and the Marquess of Clanricarde on the con- trary, strongly opposed the clauses. The Duke of Richmond should support the bill because of the compensation it afforded to tenants. He only regretted that it could not be extended to England. The Earl of Devon, without wishing to mistrust every Irish landlord,thought it clear that throughout a great part of Ireland there was no co-operation between landlord and tenant with re- gard to improvements. The Commission over which he had presided had been accused at one time of favouring the land- lords, and at another the tenants, but it could not be denied that it had collected a vast amount of unimpeachable testimony, upon which the present bill was founded, and to that mass of evidence he begged to refer their lordships. After some further discussion the house divided, when the numbers were- For the second reading 48 Against it 34 Maiority 14 Maiority 14 The bill was then read a second time, and their Lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JUNE 23. The second reading of the Scottish University Bill was post poned to Wednesday, 9th of July. In answer to Mr. W. O. Stanley, Sir G. Clerk stated that General Pasley had reported that the late accident on the Gieat Western Railway had occurred e through the too great elasticity of the rails, combined with the fact that the luggage van had been a light van, with only four wheels instead of six; that those defects had been remedied, and that there was no chance of a similar accident occurring. Mr. Sergeant Murphy then explained the cause of the loss of the Common Law Process Bills. He had washed his hands of the bills, and they had been committed to the charge of the hon. member for Cirencester. With regard to the charge which had been made against him of yielding to the dictation of Mr. O'Connell, he would say that he never had, and that he never would, as a Member of Parliament, yield to the dictation of any one. Sir J. Graham, in answer to Mr. S. Crawford, said it was not his intention to press the Law of Settlement Bill this session, ut as there was no objection to that part of it which related to the law of removal, he hoped that that part of it might be per- mitted to be read a second time. On the motion that the House do resolve itself into committee on the Academical Education (Ireland) Bill, after a few pre- liminary observations from Sir James Graham and Lord John Russell, Lord Mahon moved that it be an instruction to the com- mittee that provision be made for the religious instruction of the pupils from lecture-fees, until such time as provision should be made for such instruction by private benefactions. Mr. Wyse seconded the motion. The House was then addressed by Mr. J. O Connell, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Escott, Mr. Colquhoun, Sir R. Peel, and Mr. O'Connell, after which a division took place, and the propo- sition of Lord Mahon was negatived by a majority of 1-10. TUESDAY, JUNE 24. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway B 11 was, after renewed discussion on the broad and narrow guages, read a third time and passed. A further debate to the same effect ensued upon the motion for the third reading of the Oxford and Rugby bill. In this case the house divided, and the num- bers were—for the third reading, 132 against it, 95; majority, 37. The bill was then passed. A new writ was ordered for West Suffolk, in the room of Col. Rushbrooke, deceased. SPANISH SLGAR. Mr. Labouchere said he had some time ago put a question with respect to the claim of Spanish sugar to be admitted into this country on the same terms as that of the most favoured nation. Considerable anxiety was manifested by those who were concerned in the matter, and he hoped that the right hon. bart. would separately lay the correspondence on the subject on the table of the house, or state to the house what decision the government were disposed to come to with respect to the validity of this claim, or the probability of its being attended to. Sir R. Peel did not think it expedient to separate the corres- pendenee from the announcement of the intentions of the government. In the course of a few days or a week he hoped to be able to state the intentions of Her Majesty's Government with respect to this subject. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. Hutt brought forward the following motion That the course pursued by Great Britain since 1814 for the suppression of the slave-trade has been attended by large expenditure of the public money, and by serious loss of life to the naval forces of the country, and that it has not mitigated the horrors of the middle passage, nor diminished the extent of the traffic in slaves." The hon. member suppoited his motion by many de- tails, and a discussion of some length ensued, but at no time were there many members present, and when the attendance had dropped down to 29 the House was counted out.

IRELAND. NEW COLLEGES BILL~'HE PRESBYTERIANS. The following resolution, unanimously adopted by the Cole, raine Presbytery, shows that some portion of the Presbyterian body are dissatisfied with the New Colleges Bill, in regard to the provisions for religious instruction :— Resolved-That inasmuch as our church has severed her connection with the Belfast Academical Institution, because erroneous sentiments in religion are held and taught by some of r 11 its professors; and inasmuch as the proposed parliamentary bill for the establishment of colleges in Ireland offers no security that the professors, in the uitrler-giaduate course, shall be even pro. fessiog Christians; the Presbytery take the liberty of calling the earnest and prayerful attention of their brethren to this moment- ous subject, and of urging a full attendance at the approaching meeting of assembly, where this and other important measures must be consideied and discussed "—Correspondent of Morning Chronicle. DISMISSAL OF A MAGISTRATE. The Tipperary Free Press says—" We learn that Edward Pennefither, Esq., of Marlow, in this county, has been super. seded in the commission of the peace, on account of certsin charge* preferred against him to the toidLiiultniolby the Rev. Mr. Mackejr, P.Pr, Clonoulty."

EXTENSION OF THE RAILWAY SYSTEM.—The rapid progress of steam navigation, and more particularly steam as applied to railroads, has made in England during the past ten or fifteen years, is emulating all the continental powers, and the most in- fluential speculators and capitalists to embark in these great enterprises. There is even at the present moment upwards of sterling applied for, to carry out the different projected lines, in addition to that already embarked, and the general remark is—where is the money to be found ?—but such is the spirit of speculation in this country, that wealth, which for years has been lying dormant, will now be brought into circulation for their construction during the present session the railroad bills brought in for the three kingdoms embrace altogether a length of 8080 miles of these the proportion for Ireland is 1400 miles, which will be one of the most beneficial means of employing a portion of her population, and eventually open for that fertile country a facility of transit, the want of which has heretofore been so severely felt by the agricultural and commercial commuity. In France the railway bills which have passed through the Chamber of Deputies this session, comprise a length of upwards of 3500 miles, the greater portion of which will be carried on by British capital, and no doubt prove a profitable investment, and, at the same time, cause a great demand for English locomotives and our iron. A few years back the idea of a line of railway from Calais, Boulogne, to Paris, and from thence to Dijon, Lyons, Avignon, and Mar. seilles, from the northern to the southern extrsmity of the kingdom, would be looked upon as a chimera, or the imagina- tion of a madman, but such is the rapid stride of speculation, that in less than three years this line will be finished—opening a direct communication between London, Pans, and the finest port in the Mediterranean which will be performed in 50 hours. The railways from Havre to Paris, ditto to Bordeaux Toulouse, Bayonne, Montpellier, and the south from Pans to Strasbourg and the eastern departments, and to the north by Lille, St. Quentin, &c., joining the Belgian frontier, will throw open a wide field for commercial enterprise, English capital, and English industry. In Belgium, Germany, and even uncivilised Russia, the railway mania is making a rapid progress. Govern- ments nor people no longer think of the probability of war the former hatred that once existed between nations is lost in the desire of money-making speculations. The Parisian no longer dreads the idea of seeing the Prussian or the Cossack at his gates, nor the northern powers the republican military French- man. Railways must necessarily not only conciliate but enlighten nations. In bigotted Spain and Portugal, lines are about being laid down from the sea-coast to Madrid on the north; to Cadiz, Malaga, and Barcelona in the south, with branches to Lisbon and Oporto. In Italy and Sardinia extensive lines are also in progress. In British India a grand revolution is about taking place, by the establishing of nearly 4000 miles of railway, which will be the means of civilising its ignorant population; so far does English enterprise extend, that a com- pany is projecting to apply to his Celestial Majesty for the in- troduction of railways even into China. In the West Indies and Canada the same desire exists as in Europe to have their railways. In South America-a country which offers so many resources to commercial enterprise, but nearly lost for the want of the means of conveyance—a new era is also about being opened by the establishing of a railway from Valparaiso to San- tiago, the capital of the republic of Chili, and eventually branches to Peru, Bolivia, and Columbia, so that, in all proba- bility, in less than another half century, this part of the new world, that has thrown off the tyrannic yoke of Spain, will be. "olUe one of the flourishing pIn, of the gtohe.

She left Cowes at 9 A.M., and entered Plymouth Y, Sound at 8 P.M. In the passage her average speed was about 11 miles an hour. From London to Plymouth she was 33 hours P under steam. During the whole of her voyage the weather was p more or less hazy. In clear weather, and under favourable p circumstances, the Irish steam-boats will sometimes make theif | passage from London to Plymouth in 30 hour?. From Black- wall she conveyed about 75 passengers to Cowes, where 40 i| landed. At that port she took on board 20, and brought in all about 60 to Plymouth, among whom are Captain Claxton and several of the Directors of the Great Western Steam-ship Com- pany. The passengers expressed themselves well pleased with D the ship, but more especially with the absence of the tremulous motion which always accompanies the paddle-wheel. Her ex- S pected arrival here has long been an object of great interest to t ,he inhabitants of Devon and Cornwall, and early in the fore- noon the lulls by the sea-side Were studded with anxious spec- R tators. Ihe weather, though hazy, was fine, and the wind blowing gently from the north-west. As the day advanced, C and doubts of her arrival prevailed, many retired, but only to ,8 give place to others. Owing to the thickness of the weather, w.ien first descried she was within the Mewstone. The pre- concerted signal of ringing St. Andrew's Church bells induced f the inhabitants of this great naval port to rush in crov.ds 1 towards the shores of the Sound. The Hoe was densely covered, aiid the western Hoe, even to the edges oj its precipitous lime- 1 stone quarries, was deeply fringed with persons of both sexes r and all ages, who heartily cheered the iron wonder. Outside the breakwater she was boarded by M r. W. Walker, the Queen's 1 Harbour-master, who skilfully piloted her by the eastern channel into the Sound, through which she threaded her way i among the numerous yachts, steam and sailing-vessels, gigs, shore-boats, &c., attracted there by her arrival. Passing to the I northwai d of Drake s Island, she entered Friestone-bay, and t in about six minutes turned completely round, through Barn- ♦ L°.II' AR' AFterwards majestically entered Millbay. Outside I lilbay-pier was the Severn, Havre steamer, which fired a 1 salute on the approach of the Great Britain. Inside the pier, laj the liger, Cork steamer, and the schooner Martha, of St. ives, discharging coal. After the Great Britain had got pretty well inside these vessels, her stern was caught by the run of the tide, and she swung a little to the southward This brought ( the bowsprit of the Tiger in collision with one of the ship's life- boats, which was stove in, her starboard bulwarks, netting, and C accommodation-ladder were also damaged. At the same time the Tiger's bobstay and starboard bulwarks were injured, and some of the collier's standing rigging carried away. The damage altogether will not exceed £ 50. Although such a mul- ] titude was assembled no personal injury occurred. A railed I wooden gangway used for conveying goods on board the Irish steamer fell overboard, when the Tiger was forced a little out of her berth. Several coal-porters were on the gangway, but for- 3 tunately it was secured at one end by a rope to the pier, and the men held on until rescued by boats. The expectations of nau- tical men here have been fully realised on seeing this extraordi- nary ship. When first observed stem on she did not appear so J formidable, but when presenting her broadside to view, all ex- < pressed their surprise at the symmetrical appearance of the great reality. The manner in which she answered her helm 2 was a peculiar cause for admiration.
