SIERRA LEON E.-Last week the ship Thomas Smith arrived at V\ hitehaven from Sierra Leone, having on board a gentleman who was last year Mayor of Sierra Leone, and two Missionaries, one a German who has been there twelve years, the other a Weslevan they both speak flatteringly of their success in' diffusing Christianity among the natives of Africa. The ex- VLyor is come here for the purpose of making ar- rangements with Government for the extension of trade. Previous to their leaving they had met with Richard Lander, who was pursuing bis voyage of discovery.
LAUiSLH (If the TVA T-E, ITLOO…
LAUiSLH (If the TVA T-E, ITLOO of 120 GUNS. ^ues(lay being the anniversary of the victory of aterloo, was appropriately selected for the launch at Chatham of a first rate man of war, named the Waterloo, and bearing as her figure head a very correct likeness of the Duke of Wellington. It had been announced that it was the intention of their Majesties to be present at the launch, and that the Duke of Wellington would attend as sponsor of the vessel, and a large assemblage of rank anc as hi 011 was expected besidec the usual assemblage on such occasions. The authorities at Chatham, how- ever, received an intimation on Saturday that their Majesties would not be present, and that the Duke of Wellington would be unable from the pressure of public business to witness the ceremony. This intelligence created a strong feeling of disappointment amongst the inhabitants of Chatham and the neighbourhood for many miles round. Notwithstanding this drawback, at a very early hour in the morning there was a great influx of people into Chatham, and as the day advanced steam packets crowded in every part, and gentlemen's yachts tilled with eltgant parties of both sexes, were seen coming up the Med way from London, Southend, and other places. There were four steamers from London, namely, the Sovereign, the Royal Adelaide, the Hawk,and theSwiftiure, and the Dart from Gravesend. The men of war lying in .tfiiit part of the Medway, and all the yachts were deco- rated with a profusion of flags an immense number of boitts had collected, the shore as well as the Dock yard itself was thronged with spectators, and as the hour ap- pointed for the launch to take place approached, the scene may truly he said to have been one of an interesting and animating kind. The process adopted on this occasion, and which we were informed was an improvement upon that heretofore used, of launching the vessel, was most admirable for its simplicity and its certainty of effectual operations, as the result proved. The minutiae of this part of the arrangements were under the sole direction of Mr. Stone, the master shipwright of the yard. This stupendous ship, which exceeds by several feet in width and length the largest vessel in the British navy, is built from a design of Sir Robert Seppings, on the prin- ciple of the round stern, by Mr. Stone, the master shipwright. The building of the Waterloo was com- menced in March, 18?7, and she is considered by,natitical men to be a perfect specimen of naval architecture, and every thing which skill and experience could suggest to improve her capabilities as a fighting ship, has been adopted. 11 A fiue day for a launch makes a lucky ship," sayjtIJe old folks. The weather on Tuesday was most pro- pitious and if there be any truth in the proverb, the Waterloo will be a lucky stiip indeed. At one o'clock all the necessary arrangements being completed, Adam Gordon, Esq., brother of ir Jamcb Gordon, the Superintendent of the yard, in the absence of Miss Bedford, the daughter of Admiral Beresford. of i r who had been named as the sponsor, performed the ceremony of christening the vessel, by dashing a bottle of wine at her stern, and naming her the Water- loo, accompanied by many prayers for her success. Every eye was now directed to the vessel, and the few remaining props which supported her being removed, the Waterloo glided slowly but most majestically into the water, amidst the deafening cheers from the specta- tors ashore, which was answered by those on the river. She made her way towards the opposite shore, not with- out capsizing one boat by the heavy swell which was caused by the sudden plunge of such a large body into the water, and running foul of a yawl, the side of which wasstoved in. Happily these accidents were not attend- ed by the loss of life, and the ship was soon moored in a safe berth alongside the Southampton hulk. The Waterloo was built on Sir Robert Seppings' plan of the stern. She is pierced fur 120 guns. Her dimensions arc as follow :— feet. in. Length on the gun deck ••• •*• 205 5^ Length of keel for tonnage •••' ••• 170 (J L'xtreme breadth 54 G Depth of hold 23 2 Height of figure 56 6 Height iu midships 50 6 Helht or tatfrail 64 2 Burthen in tons 2,693 71-94 From the peculiar build of the ship, and he ample room which she possesses tor stowage, it is said that she will be enabled to carry some hundred tons more than she is registered for.

Alter the launch, a review and sham fight, a sort of mimic representation of the battle of Waterloo, took place on Chatham heights. The troops on the ground were composed of detachments of the Kifle Brigade, the Provisional Battalion, the 21st, the 50th, and the 25th regiments, the whole under the command of Sir Leo. nard Greenwell, the Commandant of the Garrison. Mines were sprung and blown up, and all the other ac- companiments of the battle, of which this was intended to tie a representation, was duly enacted. The appear- ance and discipline of the troops called out upon this oc- casion, wrre such as to excite general admiration. In the ev. ning a grand display of fire works took place on Chatham Lines. Balls and other amusements were given at various inns in and about the town. The day was one of general hilarity, and every thing passed < ff well, although the presence of royalty would have given additional zest to the scene.

DREADFUL STORAI-T.4Ar VESSELS LOST OFF BLACKPOOL. This place was visited on Tuesday and Wednesday last, by the most severe storm ever witnessed here. On Tuesday evening the storm commenced with unrelenting lury, and continued without intermission until Wednes- day evening. Ten vessels have become a prey to the destructive clement, but it was attended without loss ot iife to nine of the above but one ves-el was observed to suddenly disappear on Wednesday, about the Knott End und all on board perished. The following are the vessels wrecked :—The brig Hope, in ballast, bound from 111- verpool to North America, for timber; the Martha, of Limerick, bound from Limerick to the above pla:e, with salt, a total week a Liverpool vessel, laden with coals, stranded, but has suffered so much injury that it is more than doubtful but that she will become a complete wreck a large fishing boat, Capt. J. Rimmer, of Souihport, all to pieces the sloop Elizabeth, of Annan, bound from Liverpool to the east of Scotland, laden with salt. A stern of a vessel, marked D.E.E., port of Belfast, and a boat, the stern of which is marked Donughadee, Andw. Smirk," have been washed up, which vessel is supposed to be lost off this coast; an Italian vessel, at Litham, crew saved, laden with iion, expected to go to pieces a vessel sunk upon the Horse Bank, crew saved, with the exception of one man. About four o'clock, a boat was observed from the shore, which was txpected to go to pieces every instant at the time the sra was running mountains high, this boat landed upon the shore, and the men e-caped. She proved to be a small Irish boat, manned by two men, and according to the account given was proceeding from one put of Ireland to another with a cargo of potatoes, when she was driven out to sea, and was left totally at the mercy of the winds and waves, knowing not what course to steer. How the boat could live during Tuesday and the grea er part of Wednesday, is surprising to all. There fire several more casualties off the coast, but the above are all of which we could gather any particular intelligence with regard to accuracy. It is, however, to be feared that the result will prove a melancholy one, its the crews of the above ves- sels observed several more standing out Ito sea, which were never expected to withstand the storm. All the shore for miles round is entirely covered wilh huge pieces of some poor unfortunate vessels, the crews of which have met with a watery grave. During the vio- lence of the gale two new houses of South Shore, near Blackpool, were blown dowu. The damage done to the gardens in this part of the country is immense. The surrounding country was entirely overflowed with water, the rain during Tuesday absolutely descending in tor. rents.- Lan easier- Gaxette.

EXTITAORDINARY DiscovERY RELATIVE TO THE M UHDER OF THE MYSTERIOUS GAMBLER IN PARIS.-An extraordinary discovery, indeed! It will be remembered how circumstantially the particulars, and further particulars," of this mysterious murder have been detailed. The Passage Choiseul was the scene of the assassination. The murderer was scared by the cries of his victim, as much treasure was found upon his corpse. His riches were supposed to be immense his abode was a profound secret; and he w s known only as being, or being supposed to be, an advocate, and was hence never named but as Monsieur l'Avocat. Why should he be known by any other name than his own > for Avocat was his own, his only, his bona fide name was-we beg his pardon-is; for be it known to all wli ni it may interest, that this well-known character, this suc- cessful frequenter of the gaming houses, this Monsieur Avoe-it, or l'Avocat, is at present to be seen daily walk. ing in the streets of Paris, and looking in remarkably good health for a murdered gentleman So much for the correctness of French gossipStandard.
FASHION AND LITERATURE-
FASHION AND LITERATURE- His Majesty held a Levee soon after two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, at the Palace at St. Janits's. Their Royal Highnesses Prince William Alexander and Prince Ernest of Wurtemberg had audiences of the King previous to the Levee, to which they were intro- duced by Viscount Palmerston, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, Master of the Ceremonies. Their Royal Highnesses were present at the Entre Levee. Count de Mandesloh, the Wurtemberg Minister, assisted at the introduction of their Royal Highnesses. CH ICI-I ESTE R.-Witll that splendid munifi- cence so characteristic of him, the Earl of Egrsmont has presented the Chichester Infirmary with a donation of one thousand pounds, which, added to his former contribu tions, makes the whole amount of his bounty to thi, charity two thousand fliree hundred pounds. We believe that this venerable nobleman is now in his eighty.fourth year; and as we know that the act just recorded is only one out of many of a similat- kind by which every year of his life is distinguished, we have, in his case, a delightful illustration of the falseness of that sweeping conclusion, that would make the charitable feelings of our liature grow cool with declining years.- Ila mpbhi)-e Telegi-aph. DEATH OF LADY HALFORD.—Died yester- day, at her residence in Cuizon street, May fair, Lady Elizabeth Barbara, wife of Sir Henry Halford, Bart., physician to his Majesty. Her Ladyship was third daughter of John Lord St. John, of Bletsoe, and was united to Sir Henry in 1795. Her Ladyship h is left a daughter married to a brother of the Earl of Coventry, and also a son (Henry) united to a daughter of Baron Vaughan. In 1815 an act passed for conferring to Sfr Henry Vaughan and his issue male the surname and arms of Halford, agreeably to the will of the late Sir Charles llaltord, Bart., who died without issue several years ago, when the title became extinct.
----__--------FACTORY COMMISSION.…
FACTORY COMMISSION. 40 The following extract from Mr. Sadler's letter to Messrs. Power and Drinkwater anti- cipate and satisfactorily dispose of the insidious proposition for working the Mills by "relays" or gangs" of children, in a powerful and eloquent manner. Another, and a very favourite plan of certain oppos- ing mill-owners, and one which was proposed to myself, will, perhaps, be next suggested namely, to carry the protection i-rquired only to a certain age, say twelve or fourteen years, which regulation it is calculated would well enough suit the purpo-es of certain employers as in some pursuits, the very little living machines, it is found, are hardly so profitable to work as the rather bigger ones. Hence the very same people who could not de- termine, in thirty years' time, that fifteen hours' labour and confinement daily, in a cotton or flax mijl, was at all injurious, (rather the contrary,) will all at once out-bid the oldest and most zealous friends of thefactory children, and say that six or eight are fully enough: that is, if th y can effect by this sort of scheme a horrible compromise which would leave the children, at the period of life which best suits their purpose, to the tender mercies of their unmitigated system, deprived of the nation's sympa- thies, and consequently without eiuier relief or hope the age in question being, nevertheless, that of their rapid physical development, when, if the slightest reliance can be placed upon the unanimous opinion of the heads c.f the medical profession, the human, and especially the female, constitution, demands the greatest care and attention, and when excez's ive labour and cruel treat- ment would be the most seriously injurious. Recom- mend, gentlemen, as strongly as you please the remis- eion of the hours of labour in eaily ctllldhood, propose eight, bix, or four hours if y0'1 see good, and let that p3rtion of the press (thank God it is but a miserable part of that mighty engine, which has done so nobly in this righteous cause), which but a very short time ago could see no evil in working children eleven hours a day, now suddenly turn round and plead for six or eight only thus, though varying the means, still steadily and con- sistently labouring to serve the same end,-the cause of the prominently interested." But still ne shun continue to demand that the young and lising generation beyond that age shall not be laboured longer than the adult artisan consents, or the felon and the flave is compelled to toil; in short, that no manufacturer shall be permit:ed to do, what 1 rejoice to think many of them would shudder tocontem- plate-wor k the children of the poor of any age. or of either sex, to death. That constant and sufficient protection which selfishness itself affords to the lab ouring aniinils during the period of their growth, humanity will surely not deny to the unprotected youth of the country. The Ten Hours' Bill is, I repeat, at the very least, a Twelve- Hours" Bill. including necessary refreshment and an act that would consign the tender youth of the country to thirteen or fourteen hours of labour and conlinemeni would, to all intents and purposes, be the opposing 31ill Owners,' and not the Operatives' Bill and I think it would be hardly proper to take lessons of humanity, at least on this subject, and en this occasion, frum their school. Certain of your instructions, I see, indicate the idea of a system of infant relays." Relays! — The very term is disgusting the comparison be. tween the management of human creatures and that of cattle is, as Hume says, "shocking!" But even in any sueh comparison, the physical condition of the infantile labourer, under the relay" system, would sink lofini ely below that of the brute, nor would there in nuny places be a sufficient number of children for these relays, nor wouid their wages be adequate to support existence, 1 1 fereu Were suc^ a P'an e7en proper or practicable in itself, « would open a door to those per- petual and cruel evasions of the law, whether on the part of masters or of pareuts, against which no enact- men., could effectually guard so that the la"t state" of the poor factory child would be "worse than the fit-St. a bill founded upon any such prin-1 cip e wou operate practically as the heaviest curse! upon e adults, who would then have to work against two or more relays," rendering their condition absolutely intolerable. It would c nsign them especially in indifferent times, to a term of dally toil far longer than they have in ordinary cases yet endured, giving them the alternative of being worked to death, or starved to death a condition in which, how- ever, they would have the satisfaction of being still denominated free agt nts." But attempt such a measure, and, without protessing the gift of prophecy, I venture to prognosticate that a struggle will commence which every luend ot humanity and his country will have to deprecate.

CALCUTTA. ( Extract from the Indian Register.) BAPMSM OF BABOO KHISTMOHUN BANERJEE, Editor of the English Newspaper The Enquirer. One of the most solemn and at the same time gratifying scenes that I ever witnessed was exhibited last evening at the house of the Rev. A. Duff. The occasion was the public avowal and profession of Christianity, sealed by the ordinance of bapiism, of an intelligent Coolin Bramin, the well-known Editor of the Enquirer newspaper. The sacred ordinance was administered in the presence of a numerous anti highly respectable company of ladits and genthmen, and of upwards of forty natives, the majority of whom are quondam pupils of the Hindoo College, and some of its brightest ornaments. The se. vice was commenced by the Rev. Mr. Maekay, in a short and impressive prayer. Mr. Duff then ad vanced with ilie young convert before the audience, and addressed him at considerable length on the nature of thai rite by virtue of which he was admitted into the church of Christ, and concluded by asking, in the most solemn manner, several questions relative to his present views and resolutions. The first question was to the following effect Do you renounce all idolatry, superstition, and all the frivolous rites and practices of the Hindoo religion ?" To this the Baboo replied — 1 do, and J pray God that lie inay\incline mycoulItl-ymen to do so likewise." The second question was- Do Yott believe in God the Father and Creator oj all-in Jesus Christ as your Redeemer, and in his sacrifice as the only meam whereby man may be saved ;and in the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit ? To this, with consider- able emotion, he replied-" I do, and I pray God to give me grace to do his will. These and other questions being answered, Mr. Duff administered the Ordinance in the name of the FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, and then engaged in prayer, the whole company kneeling, and apparently wrapped in the most intense devotion* The fact of a sensible young man, who had received h liberal education, and a Coolin Bramin, throwing on the shackles of a grovelling superstition, and embracing for his faith the glorious Gospel, after a long ard patien of he u,r investigation, with the saci ifice of the affections of a ten- der mother and fond relatIOns-exposed to the ridicule and cruel treatment of his countrymen, and despite 01 their counting him as dross for the excellency of the knowledge of the truth—eventually avowing his convic- tion of that truth, and now receiving the outward sign of that grace of which he is the subject, was, indeed, enough to excite that deep interest which was so conspicuously nianifested.-Repo,-t to the General Assembly, Elm- burgh, May, 1833. •

In short, we have much plea-uretj,e stating, that the parties were perfectly satisfied th^1 instrument will prove generally useful to shippin8'. ,(f particularly to his Majesty's navy.—Ipswich Chro*1 June 14. F ELKGANT COMPLIMENT.—At the late dies' air in Boston, Mrs O., who presided at °n.e^ the tables for the sale of articles for the benefit ot Blind, attracted no little attention, as well on acco of the graces of her peison as the rarity and e'e#an^.tf her wares. Whilst engaged in the avocations of the 0 a sailor approached her and exhibited strong Hympt.ie of becuming a purchaser of some of the rich with which ihe table was decorated. He drew 'roB0.rtli pocket a ten dollar bill, and after looking for steadfastly at the lady, he laid the money upon the -3 e and was about to withdraw. Will you not take article for your money ?" said Mrs. O. The hones' turned again toward* her, and looked—then, with «n pressive hitch, sheered off, saying, No; I've had money's worth." This anecdote bears some d1in!'Y 0 and is not less complimentary than, that which IS too of the Duchess of Devonshire, at whose eyes the COHJØ1- asked leave to light hi, pipe.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS,JIvkk 18. Lord DUNDAS presented A petition for thj aboli;ion of Colon al Slavery. Several other petitions to the same tffect were als-o presented to their lordships. The Advertisement Duties Bill was read a third time, Adjourned at a Quarter past Six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 18. Mr. W'lLBRAHAM piesented a petition from a tei«h in Montgomery, complaining of the abuses in tke discipline of the church of Wales. Air. O'CONNELL presented a petition from various pans of the United Kiagdom against the grant of 20,000,0001. to the West India proprietors in the way of compensation for the freedom of the slaves. The petition- ers expressed their belief that the planters would not sustain any injury in consequence of emancipating the negroes, and iniisted that this country was not able to bear the weight of any additional amount of taxation. The hon. and learned member then gave notice of his in- tention, in committee on the Irish Tithe Commutation iiiii, to move the introduction of a clause to charge the tithe owners with all costs of suit incurred wantonly and maiiciotuly under pretence of recovering tithes in 1833. IIn Thursday next he should also move (or the appoin.- went of a select committee to inquire into the expediency and practicability of constructing a ship canal between the city of Dublin and the harbour of Kingstown and on Tuesday, 2.3th June, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the 2d and 3d William IV, cap. 59, intituled an Act to amendjthe Representation of'the people of Ireland. Colonel EVANS rose to make the motion of which he had given notice for the repeal of that proviso in the Reform Act, which disfranchised a voter in consequence of the previous non payment of his poor rates and assessed taxes. He would not occupy much time, and therefore hoped the house would permit him to proceed. Indeed all that was to be said on the subject lay in a very few words. The proviso was extremely short, but he be. liered it had the effect of disfranchising no less than from 200,000 to 300,000 householders. (Hear.) There were nearly 20,000 voters in Westminster under the Reform Act, but in consequence of this particular proviso, the number was not considered to be more than 6,000 4,600 was the greatest number tbit had voted at the last election. If the qualification had been 201. instead of 101., there would have been as many voters as thtre were now with this proviso. It was originally proposed that the non. payment of rent should be considered a disqualification, as well as the nonpayment of taxes but that stipulation was removed, and, singular enough, at the suggestion f one (Sit- E. Sugden) who was opposed to the pa-sing of the act altogether. (Hear.) If the respectability ot the voteis was the object, undoubtedly it was as important fllr that object that rent should be paid as that taxes should be paid. The proviso had opened the door to great corruption. He believed the corruption at the last two elections to have been as great as on any former occa- sion whatever Indeed there never had occurred an instance in which there had been more, if so many, cases in which corruption hid been proved as there had since the late election. The number of persons employed in collecting the taxes was very great—those persons had extremely arbitrary powers, and as they were generally connected with some party or other, they ought to bo looked upon with great jealousy. As the hon. member had said, the proviso opened a door to great corruption. He knew many cises; in which the poor rates and taxes had been paid for housekeepers before the day of the registration and, undoubtedly, if the object of his Majesty's govern- ment was to limit and diminish the number of votes by this proviso, that object must be considered as having been fully attained. The honourable gentleman said he would now proceed to read an extract from a speech delivered on the subject by Sir Edward Sugden. The hon. and gallant member, having read the passage alluded to, observed, that if the noble lord (Althorp) was prepared to say that, in consequence of the clause in the bill of which he complained, the franchise had not been limited to an extraordinary extent, indeed much greater than had been anticipated, he would almost consent to withdraw his motion. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill to repeal that clause in the Re- form Bill. Mr. HUME 82conded the motion. Lord AIJTHORP rose and spoke in his usual very low tone of voice, which rendered it exceedingly difficult to hear a single perfect sentence. He observed that he was not disposed to accede to the motion. (Hear.) He con. sidered it much more advisable to see the operaiion of the clause during another election. As for that particular clause, the object of it was, that persons who occupied houses of the value of 101. a year should be entitled to the franchise, and that the proof of that occupation should be the payment of rates and taxes. (Hear, hear ) He was aware that at the last registration that clause had limited the franchise more than it was intended to do, but that would viot lead the house to infer that the same effect would be produced at any future registration. There were several causes that operated to produce that effect at the last registration, among which were the igno- rance of the law by some, and neglect on the part of others, to pay their rates within the prescribed period. The law was, however, well known to every one. As re- garded the number of persons who had been disfranchised which the honourable and gallant member had stated as hundreds of thousands, he could not bring himself to believe it was so large. The object ot the chuse was cer- tainly to prevent fraud by proving the voter to be a bona fide occupier. Mr. HUME said the noble lord seemed to admit that the number of voters had been considerably limited, and lie was surprised that any opposition was manifested to the motion. He knew that during the canvass for the late election for Marylebone, many electors stated to the can- didates that they were exceedingly willing and anxious to vote, but from their embarrassed circumstances they could not afford to pay their rates, and expressed a wi-h that the candidates should enable them to pay them. (Hear.) He ( Nlr. Hume) thought that every man who occupied a house which was valued at 101. ought to be considered as a pet son fit to be entrusted with the elective franchise. Col. F VA NS replied. He had not heard one word which was a satisfactory answer to his proposition, and he would say the conduct of government, on the present occasion, was not such as to increase their already much depreci- ated popularity. He was, however, determined to take the sense of the house on his motion. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared- For the motion' 24 Against 84 Majority against the motion 60 CORN LAWS. w'f!hYKRtPre8ented,a pet'ti0,i from the inhibitants of Wolverhampton, complain,ng of a want of a market for their manufactures, and praying for a repeai of the corn laws, or such an alteration in them as would allow them to exchange their manufactures for food. The pe- tition was laid on the table.. .fc!hh hHr. Member ,then ro" 19 mthe motion of he »ad given notice, on the subject of the crown lands. Unaccustomed as hr was to public (laughter), the only thing that gave him confidence wfs thejusticeof hiscause but not only was his cause just, but the object that he had in view was more important than the end proposed to be obtained by any measure brought forward by his Majesty's ministers. He said that he was most anxious for the reduction of taxition he was an enemy to every species of monopoly, and, above all mo- nopolists, the most abominable was the monopoly of the corn laws. They might talk of the repeal of the house and window tax. It would do the people no good. It was food that the people wanted. What good would the repeal of the malt tax do ? Did it not put money into the pockets of the farmers ? and from the farmers it went into the pockets of the landlords. The value of labour was food. and he would ask the house had the people food ? Daily experience showed the contrary. How were the people treated by Csstlereagh, Canning, and prosperity Robinson (cheers and laughter) between the bastard Tories and apostate Whigs ? (Continued roars of laughter.) The country was reduced to the greatest possible distress. Who produced the national debt? The landlords. (Laughter.) Who produced the poor laws3 The landlords. (Laugh er.) M'ho, in faer, caused all the evils in this country ? Was it not the land- lords ? Tax the luxuries—tax the tea. the coffee, the sugar, the spirits, but give the people food. With re- gard to the slave question, let them but look at home- to their own white slaves. One of these slave emanci. pators had applied to him for his vote for the abolition of slavery. He (the hon. member) asked him would he vote for the repeal of the com laws ? The answer of the lion, slave emancipator was, that he did not understand it. lIe then said to him. u Away, away." (Laughter.) It was the landed oligarchy that oppressed the country. The Whigs had promised to do a great deal, but in fact had done nothing. What good would the Factory Bill do? Would it give food to the children? It was a mere delusion. The Emigration Bill was another delu- sion. Did it not drive all the ingenious artisans out of the kingdom, and force them to seek sustenance in ano- ther country ? If there was a repeal of the corn laws they would be able to stay at home. The present go- vernment were the most vacillating that ever existed. 1 hey did not stick to any one plan for one day (laughter); and if they would not change their plans they would have the Duke again. (Laughter and cheers.) lie would say a few words to his Majesty's ministers Did they not agitate the country from one end to the other ?-did they not encourage the Political Unions- swamp the House of Lords ? (Laughter.) They brought forward the Reform Bill and what good did it do the people ? It Was lIue, they had the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. (Laughter.) They were laughed at by the Tori"-the conservative Tories, as they call themseive»—for the blunders they commuted; and they were the subject or much talk at the United Service Cldb. (Hoari of laughter.) He would not trouble the house longer but to apply for leave to bring in a Bill for the Repeat o\ the Cora Laws. Lord ALTHORP said that the questioa had been already discu-sed in the course of the present session, and he therefore should object to its being again gone into at such a period late. In all probability the ques- tion would be again brought forward during the next session, when the matter could be fully discussed. He should move the previous question. The Earl of DARLINGTON expressed his regret that his noble friend ( Lord Althorp) had declared that it was the intention of government to alter the present system of corn laws in the next session. If the system was to be altered, the sooner the matter was brought for- ward the better, for under the present state of unceitainty it was impossible for landlords and tenants to enter into any specific or defined contracts, and the result was, that there existed in agricultural affairti ¡1 very great derange- ment. Lord ALTHORP could assure his noble friend that he was totally mistaken in supposing that he said that government intended to alter the corn laws next session. The Earl of DARLINGTON was glad to find that he had mistaken his noble friend. (Hear.) Mr. AGLlONBY said he would support the motion, for he conceived that such an alteration mi¡.(t be made in the Corn Laws as would benefit the manufacturing intereit without injuring the agricultural community. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared— 1- For the motion 47 For the previous question 72 Majority against the motion 25 O11 entering the gallery, we found Sir A. A»NEW moving for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws re- lating to the observance of the sabbath in Scotland. Lord ALTHORP was unde.atoodnot to object to the bill being brought in, but he at the same time said that he did not think it was possible to pass such a measure through Ihe house at that period of the session. Mr. HUME said, that under such circumstances he would suggest that the honourable baronet should not persevere in his motion, but that a general measure for England and Scotland on this subject should be brought in next session. Mr. J.JOHNSTONE said that such a bill as that pro- posed some time ago for England would not satisfy the people of Scotland. (Laughter.) He thought he knew the people of Scotland, and feeling that he did, he thought lie was bound to state what he believed to be the real fact. Sir A. AGNEW said his only object in bringing in the bill was to amend the laws in Scotland with respect to the observance of the Lord's day in that couniry. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the motion 60 Against it 73 Majority against the motion -13 The House then went into Committee on the Irish Church Bill. Several clauses were agreed to without opposition. On the 42d clause being read, Mr. PRYME proposed as an amendment, "That no Irish Bishop who shall not be in possession of a see after the passing of this act shall sit in parliament according to rotation, and that when the number of Irish Bishops shall be reduced by death or otherwise to twelve then that only two such Bishops shall sit in parliament, and when the number shall be reduced to six then only one shall sit in parliament, and that when all the Irish sees shall become vacant, the:) the right of Irish Bishops to sit in parliament shall cease and determine, provided always that this shall not interfere with the right of one Irish Archbishop to sit in parliament. Mr. STANLEY said that he was not prepared to deal out any measure of exclusion to the liish Bishops that he would not sanction as regarded the English Bishops. (Cheers and laughter.) He begged it to be understood that he was not fer removing the Bishops altogether ironi the councils of the nation, with which the interests ot the church must always be identified. Mr. SHAW said he should certainly oppose the amendment. Lord ALTHOHP aid that this was no less a ques- tion than whether or not bishops should sit at all in par- liament, and so grave and serious a matter ought not to ba treated lightly, but should be brought forward, if at all, after the most serious consideration, and in a distinct and specific manner. He for one never could itgree that it was not necessary to have the Established Church re- presented in parliament, and indeed every act of parlia- ment was described as the act of the peers spiritual and temporal. (Hear.) Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL said that he was much pleased to hear the sentiments that had just fallen from the noble lord. as they were an earnest of the dispo- sition of his Majesty's Ministers not to aid in the cla- mour that was now raised for the exclusion of the bishops of the established church from parliament. Mr. RSTCOURT opposed the amendment. Mr. GISBORNE said that he considered it indecent to introduce so serious and important a matter in the shape of an amendment. Mr. PRVME, after a few words in explanation, con- sented to withdl aw hi amendment. Mr. SHA W then addressed the committee on the general clause. As an Irishman, he contended that this alteration could not be made in the Church of Ireland establishment without the consent of the Irish nation, or a direct violation of the Act of Union. The clause was agreed to without further opposition. The 43d clause was next agreed to. Clause 44 was also agreed to. Clau e 45 was next agreed to as were also clauses 46, 47. and 48. Clause 49, with one or two verbal amendments, wis next agreed to. Clauses 50, 51, 52, and 53 were dlso agreed to. Lord AL rHoRP proposed that clauses 54 and 56 be postponed, as they related to the vestry cess. This was agreed to. Clause 55 was ntxt agreed to. Clause 57 was then agreed to, after a few words from Mr. SHAW, as were also clauses 58 to 63, both in- clusive. Clause 64 was postponed. Clause 65 was agreed to alfo clause 66, 67, 68, and 69. Clauses from 70 to 90, both inclusive, were then agreed to. The house resumed. The CHAIRMAN brought up the report, and obtained leave to sit again. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP the house resolved itself into a committee on the National Debt Bill. The several clauses were agreed to without discussion. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 19. A petition from the magistrates and clergy of Crick- howel, in Wales, was presented against the beer bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to know whether his Majesty's ministers had any objection to produce a copy of the correspondence which had passed between his Majesty's Government and the Court of Directors regarding East India affairs. Earl GREY replied that it was inconvenient to pro- duce the correspondence in question at present. Lord ELLENBOROUti H said a few words against the measure proposed by ministers respecting the affairs of India, and earnestly impressed on the noble earl (Earl Grey) the propriety of postponing until next session that part of the plan which related to the internal government of India. Earl GREY said, that before that part of the measure of government to which the noble baron referred should be brought forward for discussion in that house, every possible-information should be submitted to their lord- ships on the subject. The house then resolved itself into a committee on the Labour Rate Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 19. Mr. PARKER juol previous to the Speaker quitting the chair on Tuesday afternoon, presented a pttition from the Company of Cutlers at Sheffield, calling the attention of the house to the long neglected claims of English mer- chants upon the kingdom of Denmark tor the seizure Ad confitication of their property 27 ye3rs ago, and pray- ing the house to interfere iu order to obtain a speedy ad- justment of them. It gave rise to a debate which lasted until the Speaker left the chair; and to-day it was re. sumed by Mr. GROTE, who said he had sometime ago pre. sented a petition upon the same subject from some claim. ants in the city of London. He thought that a dearer case had never been established by the petitioners. The claims arose from the confiscation and sequestration of the property and book debts of the British merchants by the Danish government, which sequestration was resorted to in consequence of a prior act of seizure of Danish property in British ports by the British government. Immediately afterwards, the British merchants made a representation of their case to the British govern- ment, and were told that their claims should be duly considered in the event of a treaty of peace be. ing concluded. (Hear, hear, hear.) In 1814, howeve;, when that treaty was made, so far from those claim-i being provided for, it actually legalized the confiscations of the property by the Danish Government. The British Go- vernment had declared that the original sentence of con fiscaion was wholly at variance with the law of nations, i-nd had urged in 1809, as a reason for not then pressing on the Danish Government the necessity of paying the claimants, that the treaty of peace had not been concluded and yet, when that treaty was s:gned, Ilut a word was inserted ev.11 to recognize the claims, and all succeeding Ministers had neglected to obtain their settlement. e Lord MORPETH resetted that no member of the government was present. He could bear testimony to me urgency with which the petitioners had pressed their claims on the attention of government. Considering how- ever the present state of the finances of the country, lie did not think the present the most auspicious period to bring forward any further demand upon them; but he was convinced that a nation bearing the high charac-er that ours did would hardly fail to do justice when a case had been made out so fully and so satisfactorily* e hoped that the intimations which had so frequently been ma.e both by the petitioners and by the members of the house would induce the government to take up the sub- ject otherwise, he thought that before another ses- sion of Parliament commenced, some other means would be taken of enforcing a due consideration of the claims. Mr. DENISON thought these claims were just against the government, against the country, and against the par- liament and he thought it but an act of justice, that they should be speedily satisfied. Mr. PARKER intimated that if government did no during the recess, take some step in this matter, it would be brought before parliament in a substantive and spe- cific torm next session. Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the house esolving itself into a committee of the whole house oil the 1 mporalitie" (Ireland) Bill. fllr. W. BROUGHAM rose and said that he had been under the necessity, for five successive times, of Pos poning the Regis!ry Bill as he believed there was con. siderable excitement in the country upon the subject, he wished to place himself in the hands of the house whether he should n,)t now proceed with it.' Mr. C. BULLER considered the bill of great public utility, and expressed h;s hope that the hon. and learned iiiember would proceed with it. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, if the measure was at all to be proceeded with, it would be desirable to have it brought forward in as perfect a state as possible. For that purpose it would be very convenient, in the pre- sent state of public business, to postpone it till the next session. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL considered the bill the foundation of all eflicicnt law impiovements, and he therefore hoped it would be proceeded with this session. Mr. W. BROUGHAM considering it the opinion of the house that he should persevere with the measure dur- ing the present session, then moved the order 0; the day for the second reading of the bill. The order of the day having been read, Mr. W. BROUGHAM moved that the bill be now read a second time, Mr. A. SANDFORD rose to oppose it. He had en- tered the committee appointed by the house to examine its details with impressions against the bill, and the evi dence which had been then submitted to him had not in any way diminished his opposition to it. (Hear, hear, hear.) The London solicitors were not at all ac- quainted with the practice of the profession in the country. The evils which would arise from the expense that would be entailed on purchasers of small portions of land in the country sending an account of the transaction to be re- gistered in London had not been properly considered besides,he was confident that persons obtaining loans upon mortgage would be greatly impeded, exclusive of the repugnance they would feel to send the transactions to London and be registered in a public office. As regarded the suppression of deeds by the present system so urged by the honourable and learned Solicitor General as taking place, he (Mr. Sandford; must say that of the very numerous transactions which had been inquired into by the committee, but few instances were proved in which a suppression ot deeds hart Mken place. They were, in fact, so very few, and the amount of property so small, that they ought not to be brought forward as any argu- ment in favour of the bill. Again, it had been said that the bill would be the means of affordiog additional secu- rity to property. (Hear, hear.) Certainly if it had been adopted some centuries ago, before there was such an extensive subdivision of property, it might have proved to afford great security but now, when properly had been so greatly subdivided, the indexes would bo so volu. minous, that the expense would be very great. (Hear, Hear, hear.) Believing that the bill would place the landed interest in great peril, he felt himself bound to move that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. HODGSON rose to second the amendment. He thought the bill should not have been introduced at a time when there was so much important business before the consideration of Parliament. The subject could not suffer much by 12 months' delay, and he hoped the house would not sanction the measure. Lord MORPETH said that this bill was recommended by some authorities so high, and was supported by argu. ments so strong, that he would rather not oppose it at this stage; but he wished to ask, whether his hon. friend would consent to exempt the counties of the Northern Circuit from the operation of the bill ? They were most distant from the proposed centre of operations, and from them the greatest opposition had proceeded. Mr. HEATHCOTE must protest against the rest of England being experimented upon for the benefit of the northern counties. The opposition to the bill in the county of Lincoln, amongst those fitted to judge of its ettects, was very great, and as the representative of that great Province he should oppose it. r* L Y N CH supported the second reading, and went m o statements, for the purpose of showing the necessity of the adoption of the bill. .1 kSPLICITOR GENERAL said, he should regret la a reformed parliament would object to a measure t le principle of which was acted on in Ireland, Scotland, and every British colony. The measure was fully discussed tor the last three sessions both in and out of doors, and it was rather too much to ask him to further delay it. e rusted the second reading would be allowed o e p ace, and if in the course of the session it wis found. that the bill could not be pressed forward with propi iety, why, in God's name let he measure be delayed until next session. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that members who voted for the second reading would only P^dge theillstives to the principle of the bill. The house then divide!. hpnc thp mmhers were- "69 For the bill 6!) Against it 82 Majority —-13 1 ne nouse then went into committee. Ihe Separatists Affirmation Bill went through a com- mittee, and the report was ordered to be received to-mor- row, (Friday.) 1 memo At the request of Lord ALTHORP several hon- MEM- bers postponed motions they had fixed for this day, to pern it the Irish Church Temporalities Bill going into committee. The noble lord said that the government WHS exceedingly desirous that the biil should proceed, and, as tar us they were concerned, all other business should give way to it. i?.use l^en went into committee on the Irish Church Temporalities Bill. Clausell 91, 92, and 93 were agreed to. Clauses 94. 95, 96 and 97 were also agreed to, after a .e few words from Mr. Shaw, Lord Althorp, and Dr. Lushington. On clause 98 being read, Mr. H. GRATTAN moved an amendment, that the number of acres of land allotted to each clergyman should be 20 instead of 40, as originally'propojed. The gallery was cleared for a division on this amend- ment, but on our readmission we found that no division had taken place, and the clause as it stood was agreed to. Clause 99 was postponed. Clause 100 to 10(5 inclusive were agreed to with some verbitl amendments. ClaJse 107 was deferred. Clause 108 was agreed to, after a few words from Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Shaw, and Lord Althorp. Clause 109 was postponed. On the suggestion of Mr. GOULBURN, clauses 110 and 111 were postponed. Sir R. PEEL said that in his opinion it would facili- tate the progress of the bill very much, if the clauses re- lating to bishops' tenants were printed and in possession of members, in order that the house might fully under- stand their import. Lord A L THO it P That no discussion should take place on that part of the measure until the clauses re- ferred to were in the hands of members. Clauses 112. 113, and 114 were agreed to. Clauses 115 to US were then agreed to. wh..n the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again next (Friday.) The Abolition ot Punishment of Death BiI) in cases of housebreaking unattended with violence was read a third time und passed. The house then went into committee on the Church Exemption Bill from ntes. Mr. WILKS proposed that all ihapels and chapels of ease should be exempted from rates. The bill then went thtough the Committee. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned at two
