HOUSE OF COMMONS—TuEiDAY.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—TuEiDAY. The ballot in the Drogheda election petition took place for the appointment of the Committee. Lord MORPETH said, that, having been asked on a former occasion when it was his intention to in- troduce a Bill on the subject of the Irish Churoh, he begged to say that he intended on Friday next to move for leave to bring in such a Bill. In the first place he meant to move that the Bill of the 28rd of March, which was introduced by the right hon. baronet, Sir Robert Peel, be discharged. To that course he supposed there would not be much objec- tion, as he imagined the right hon. baronet would not proceed with it. Next, he would move that the resolutions respecting the appropriation of the surplus revenues of the Irish Church, which were agreed to by that House, be read and, next, be would introduce a Bill for the better regulation of ecclessiastical revenues in Ireland, and for the ho- provement of moral and religious instruction there. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a question from Mr P. Stuart, said that the reduction in the duty on East India coffee would not apply to the stock in bond. The House then went into Committee on the Mu- nicipal Reform Bill. Clauses 6 to 8 were agreed to. On clause 9, Sir W. FOLLETT moved an amend- ment, to the effect that nothing contained in the Act should in any way be construed to curtail or abolish any right of voting in the election of a member or members to serve in Parliament, which is now possessed, or might hereafter be acquired, under the provisions of the Reform Act. After a lengthened discussion the amendment was rejected by a majority of 278 against 232. Mr A. TREVOR, after a debate, withdrew his motion for the omission of the clause, which he Baid he would renew on the bringing up of the report. The 9th clause was then ordered to stand part of the Bill, and the Chairman reported progress. The Isle of Man Corn Bill passed through Com- mittee. T „ „. The ATTORNEY- ENERAL obtained leave to bring in a Bill tor the better regulation of Eccle- siastical Coutrs. Mr Wakley's motIOn, "1 bat the ballot for entering the names of members having public petitions to present do take place half an hour before the time appointed for Mr Speaker taking the Chair," was agreed to. The House adjourned at one o'clock.

A.AA To Emigrants and Shippers. The undersigned despatches Goods and Passengers ON THE MOST REASONABLE TERMS TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. TO MEW YOW j -and other Ports in the United States three times monthly. I TO THE BRITISH SETTLEMENTS IN NORTH AMERICA every fortnight during-the season. TO THE EAST AND WEST INDIAS about every ten days. TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, Van Dieman's Land, and New South Wales, about every six weeks, &c. &c. Emigrants and Shippers may rely on the vessels em- ployed being of the best description and fitted with every convenience conducive to comfort and safety. And as he aims at obtaining the good opinion and favourable report of every individual who employs him, he earnestly entreats Emigrants not to leave their homes until they have se- cured their passages and received notice appointing a time for their arrival in Liverpool, as by this means their tickets of admission-will be entrusted to careful attendants who will conduct them to their vessels and protect them from the impositions of those worthless characters who are in wait- ing at every landing place to entrap and deceive strangers. When the attendants, with the tickets of admission, are not in waiting, the Emigrants are recommended to hire a Car to bring thelLselves 0 and their luggage direct to the office, and above all to avoid taking advice or assistance from Strangers, otherwise in all probability they wi.1 be deceived and plundered. In aiming at obtaining a continuance of the preference which he has so long enjoyed, and of preserving his mi, gration business on the most respectable and satisfactory tooting, the undersigned, while he urges compliance with the above recommendation, craves reference to the follow. log Testimonials, selected almost at random from several hundreds in his possession.

AT A WEEPING of LANDED PROPRIETORS *ND FARMERS, held pursuant to advertisement at the MASONS ARMS INN, in the town of COWBRIDGE, in the county of Glamorgan, on TUESDAY the ]9th day ot MAY, last past, for the purpose of taking into con- sideration the expediency of ESTABLISHING A FAIR FOR THE Sflaa (jjf? IN THIS COUNTY, anti also for adoPtinfc certain measures relative to the PIIESENT DISTRESSED STATE OF THE AGRICUL- TURAL INTERESTS IN GENERAL. It was, on the motion of Mr William Jones of Cardiff, seconded by Mr Win. Spencer, of Saint Mary Church, Reiolved,—That Mr Edward Perkins, of Monknasb, be elected chairman of this meeting. Resolved,-On the motion of Mr William Jones, se- conaea oy rar unristopner Bradley, that for a series of years past, it appears to this Meeting that there has existed and does exist a monopoly and combination injurious to the interest of the Farmers, amongst the Wool Dealers and Staplers attending the Marts of this country, and that it is essential to the interests of the Farmers at large, to endavour to counteract the same, and for that purpose to unite in establishing an annual Fair or Fairs for the Sale of Waol in this county. Resolved,-On the motion of Mr J. B. Morgan, seconded by Mr John Spencer, that the Members of this Meeting are of opinion that to effect the purposes before-mentioned, an Annual Fair should be held at the town of Cowbridge, n the said county, for the Sale of Wool. ° Resolved,—On the motion of Mr James Ballard, that it is the opinion of this Meeting that the First Tuesday in the month of July be fixed aDd appOlnled for the purpose of holding such Fair. Rewlved,-On the Motion of Mr Wrentmore, that the Members of this Meeting view with r-olisiderable alarm the present depressed state of Agriculture in general, and that it is their unanimous opinion that the present system of Tithes is highly injurious and detrimental, as well to the interests of the owners as te those of the occupiers of lads; and that this Meeting feels convinced that it will essentially tend to remedy the evil comPIlineti of, by the Legislature enacting, as soon as practicable, a Law for the equitable commutation of lithes. Resolved,-On the motion of Mr William Hardee, seconded by Mr J?hn Spencer, that to further the views and opinions of this Meeting, as contained in the last re- solution, a Petition be forthwith prepared for presentation to The Honorable House of Commons, and that the same be forwarded to our County Members, and that they be respectfully requested to present and support the same.

Cardiff, 8th June, 1835. TO THE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE tuanøta Snftnnarg. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, A Letter having been recently addressed to you, by Mr Bird, on the subject of this Institution, aud certain propositions having been therein made, which would materially affect its constitution and character, I trust that it may not appear presumptuous or disrespectful on my part, if I venture to call your attention to some portions of the subject which seem to require consideration. The argument on which Mr Bird relies in his Pamphlet is wholly built upon the alleged practice of other Infirma- ries-InSlitutions essentially differing from our own and from which, in reference to-Swansea, no strict analogy can be drawn. These Institutions flourished and were weil known at the moment when the foundations of our Hospital were laid, and yet the excellent individuals who prepared the Regulations, under which it has hitherto prospered, did not think it necessary, in all respects, to adhere to the cus- toms of other places, but to adopt a system suitable to our own. The fact is, that the Hospital business of Swansea is scarcely of sufficient magnitude to create a necessity for multiplying its officers. A large portion of the business may wed be conducted, and has been conducted, by the House Surgeon; and what objection there can be enter- tained to that individual enjoying the rank and station to which all Surgeons are entitled who have passed the Schools, or how the interests of the Infirmary could suffer from the fact of this Resident Officer being considered in that respect- able point of view to which his professional claims entitle him, it is difficult to conceive. That our Infirmary has, in the main, answered the bene- volent objects for which it was created cannot be denied- Why then should its fundamental regulations be annihi- lated ? or what necessity has been shewn for a change ? Bat even were the changes proposed desirable, it must be remembered that no such changes can, on the day proposed, be legitimately made. The 11th Rule states— That the General Meeting shall have full Power to alter or revoke the present Regulations, and to enact new ones, subject to the following regulations, viz.:— That ONE MONTH'S notice of a motion to alter or revoke any old law, or to enact any new one,shall be given to the Secretary, that he may cause the same to be inserted in the advertisement for the Meeting, and that such notice shall state the motion intended to be made at length." No such notice HAS BEEN given, or CAN BE given, previous to the 3rd of July; therefore, no alteratioa of the kind proposed can be legitimately made. In respect to myself, as House Surgeon to the Institution, painful as it is to me to speak at all, it cannot but be mor- tifying to contemplate an innovation whose immediate effect it will be to degrade me at once in the eyes of the Institution and of my native town. I cannot, therefore, think it impro- per to make this appeal to all who have been connected with the Infirmary for the last seven months, during which I have exercised the duties of my station, whether I have in any instance neglected my charge? Many cases, both surgical and medical, of great importance have been under my care. I have regularly attended the cons.dtations, and regularly operated, and as no kind of official blame has been uttached to my conduct, I cannot but think it cruel that I should suffer by an ex post facto law. By tho proposed motions, page 24, I observe that' con- sultations are to be held by the Surgeons. If the House Surgeon is to be degraded by exclusion, another Surgeon must be created, or there can be no majority. By the 9th new Regulation affecting the House Surgeon, it will be observed, that undercertain eircttiiistaiicts every casualty or any surgical emergency may be under his care and direction." By the 16tn new Regulation, he is to 'visit the out-door patients," and here also a great share of rcponsibility devolves on him. What then is to dis- qualify such a person from holding the station to which the original Begulations entitled him? What can be the object of his degradation ? What shall be gained by terming him a pupil or confidential servant? It certainly should be the aim, as doubtless it has been the aim, of the Subscribers to elect a House Surgeon duly qualified-hut when the Subscribers have been satisfied-the interests of the Infirmary will surely be rather consulted by investing his station with all the credit which can properly belong to it. Under all these circumstances, seeing that the Institution has given satisfaction to the Subscribers at large,—that its condition is not strictly analagous to those of other places, --that no evils have been proved to attend the present system of practice as connected with the House Surgeon,:— that the theory of other towns or cities has little to do with the question when no abuse is pretended to be shewn here,—when the effect of the change would be to degrade a responsible officer, and to lower and injure him in the public estimation,—I shall rely on these arguments, rather than on the manifest want of formal correctness in the proceedings, and throw myself on the candour and justice of the Subscribers at large, and of my own native town in particular. I shall entertain a full confidence that you will not think it advisable to change a system which has already worked well, and with advantage to the Public, and especially when by such a change you will be inflicting on myself a most heavy and unmerited punishment. I have the honor to remain, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen Your obedient humble Servant W. BEVAN, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Huuse Surgeon to the Swansea Infirmary. Inrmary, June 23, 1835.
THE THIRTY-NINE ARTICLES.
THE THIRTY-NINE ARTICLES. The following is the Earl of Radnor's Bill Prohibit- ing Subscription to the Thirty.niue Articles iii certain Cases." The preamble sets forth that—Whereas the subscription of particular articles of faith in the case of persons of tender years, and before they can have so accurately and minutely examined the same, and the grounds on which they rest, as to give an entire and implicit assent to the doctrines therein laid down, is unreasonable, and may tend to evil consequences Be it enacted, &c. That from and after the passing of this Act no person shall be required by any person or persons in authority in tne universities oi uxiora or Cambridge, or elsewhere within the King's dominions, to subscribe or declare his assent to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, agreed upon by the Archbishops and Bishops of both provinces and the whole Clergy, in the Convocation holden at London in 1652, or the Three Articles contained in the Thirty-sixth Canon, at the time of matriculation at either of the said Universities, or of entrance at any College or Hall within the same, and until he shall have attained the age of twenty-three years, or, in case he shall take .he degree of Master of Arts before he has attained the age of twenty- three years, until he shall have taken the said degree. Provided always, and be it further enacted, that nothing in this Act contained shall extend or be construed to extend to exempt any person from the obligation to subscribe such articles, or to make such declarations as by the customs and statutes of the said Universities are now required, before any person can sit and vote in the Convocation or Senate of the said Universities respectively, or as may now by law be required in order to qualify such person to take any ecclesiastical orders, or to preside and sit as Judge in any Court Spiritual or Ecclesiastical, or to hold any ecclesiastical office or benefice whatsoever, or as under the special requisition of the founder of any endowment, are now required to be subscribed or made to enable the members thereof to enjoy the benefits of the same.

TRIBUTE TO THE LANDERs-The foundation stone of a column to commemorate the indefatigable exertions of the brothers, Richard and John Lander, and to record the untimely fate of the former, who was murdered by the natives ill his recent expedition to theQuoi rit, was laid at Truro with Masonic honors, on Tuesday last. The ceremony was highly impos- ing. All the respectability and wealth of Truro and the neighbouring towns were present, to witness the interesting scene. DEATH FROM SOMNAMBULISM.—A lad about nine years of age, son of a labouring man named Richard Morgan, living near Bream, went to bed on Friday night, and in the course of the night a great noise and cry being heard in the kitchen, the family came down and found the poor boy lying on the floor dreadfully bruised about the head. He had been walking in his sleep, and had fallen down the stairs, which were steep and dangerous. He lingered for some hours when death put a period to his outTering-Gloucester Journal.
T , OF LORDS-TUESDAY.
(Continued from our last Page.) T OF LORDS-TUESDAY. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in the absence of the DlIkeof Wellington, gave notice on Wednesday day the noble duke would move aresolution, acknowledg- ing in fit and proper terms the services which the Earl of Devon had rendered in his late office. Lord Brougham's motion for proceeding with the adjourned debate on his resolutions in respect to education was postponed to Wednesday. The Annual Indemnity Bill was read a second tune.—Adjourned.
HOUSE OF LORDS-WEDNESDAY.
HOUSE OF LORDS-WEDNESDAY. Lord BROUGHAM further postponed bis resolu- tions on education to I uesday. The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice of his intention to present on Thursday, two petitions in favor of the of p°or Laws into Ireland. Lord MELBOURNE moved the revival of the Select Committee on Omces, to consider what steps should be adopted relative to the vacant office of clerk assistant at their lordships' table. The noble viscount then moved a vote of thanks to the Earl of Devon for his valuable services in that situation. The -motion was agreed to nem. COR., and their lordships adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS-WEDNESDAY.
HOUSE OF COMMONS-WEDNESDAY. Mr SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Birmingham, signed by 12,000 persons, in favour of municipal reform, and the appropriation clause in the Tithe Bill. Several petitions were presented by Major Beau- clerk and Mr Scholefield on behalt of the Dorchester labourers. A long conversation took place upon a petition presented by Lord Grimston, complaining of gross mismanagement of the funds belonging to a charity- school at Berkhamstead. Lord MAHON then moved for a copy of the Order in Council, exempting his Majesty's subjects, entering into the service of the Queen of Spain, from the operation of the Foreign Enlistment Act The noble lord strongly condemned the policy adopted by the present Government in issuing this order, as discreditable to them and to the country, and de- clared, if assistance were given at all to the Queen of Spain, he would rather have seen it given by troops officered, appointed, and paid by the King, than, as in the present case, by mercenary bands of adventurers. The noble lord also expressed his opinion that the selection of a half-pay Lieutenant- Colonel was not the most judicious one which might have been made. ° Lord PALMERSTON entered at length into a defence of the Government, and the policy of the measure adopted with regard to Spain. As to the .ndmduals engaged in lhe enterprise, he admired those brave men, and sincerely wished them success. Colonel EVANS addressed the House with great warmth, and, adverting to what had been said by Lord Mahon of persons who were one day Spaniards and another Englishmen, said, if such observations were applied to him, he threw them back with the greatest contempt and disgust. Sir R. PEEL also tensured in strong terms the policy of the Order in Council. »»A j 1SvtU8Sion Allowed, in which Mr Feotor, Mr )yard> Mr O'Connell, Mr Grove Price, and Mr H. L. Bulwer took a part. The motion was agreed to. The House then resumed the discussion of the Municipal Reform Bill in the Committee. Lord J. RUSSELL proposed an amendment to clause 10, to secure to apprentices having paid fees a right of voti ng. This was agreed to. Sir R. PEEL contended that an amendment should be made to the clause securing the same privilege to that class of persons heretofore entitled by birth or marriage. Upon this proposition a long dis cussion followed. Sir W. FOLLETT proposed that every person actually admitted to his freedom at the time of the passing of the Act, and every person having at the time an inchoate right by birth or otherwise, I should still have the same right untouched by the Bill. Lord J RUSSELL was understood to agree to this proposition. Mr SHEIL said the Opposition were defeating the Bill in detail. Lord J. RUSSELL proposed that the member for Exeter should furnish his precise notice in detail, he, Lord John, being inclined to acocide to it, and that the Chairman should report progress. This course was adopted. The House resumed. The other orders were disposed of, and at a quarter past two the House adjourned.

It was remarked by all the noble and gallant guests who were present on the occasion, that his Majesty never appeared in better health and spirits than at the grand Waterloo banquet, at Apsley House. CONSERVATIVE DINNER.-Thursday the anni- versary of the battle of Waterloo was celebrated by a grand dinner at Edinburgh, in the Hopetauii-rooms, British Hotel, when about 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner, Duucau M'Neill, Esq., in the chair, supported on the right by Sir J. Stuart Forbes, Sir James Mi lies Riddel, General Sir John Oswald, Mr O. Tindall Bruce, of Falkland; on the left, by Sir John Hope, Admiral Sir David Milne, James Walkpr, E-q., of Dairy, and Mr Learmonth David Duudas, E-q the younger, of Dunira, croupier. Amongst the other gentlemen present were, Mr M'Neill, of Collonsay (father of the chairman), Professor Wilson, the Hon. Mr Hope, &c. The speeches were animated and in- teresting. Professor Wilson, who proposed the memory of Mr Pitt, prefaced the toast by an eloquent address. It is with deep concern we have to announce the death of Lieutenant William Russell Drummond, of his Majesty's ship Satellite, youngest toil of I General Sir Gordon Drummond, at Callao, on the 31st of January last, in the 23d year of his age. This promising young Officer received a wound by a mus- ket ball in his leg, which rendered immediate amputa- tion necessary, on the 1st of. January, whilst em- ployed in the ship's boats iu superintending the embarkation of those British subjects whose lives were endangered by an insurrection of the soldiery at Callao. He lingered until the 31st, when death ter- minated his sutfeiings. He was most deservedly esteemed and beloved by a 1 who knew him, and his loss will be long ulId severely felt by his afflicted family.
COUNTY OF CARLOW ELECTION.…
COUNTY OF CARLOW ELECTION. FRIDAY.— FIFTH DAY. The polling this day was again very slack on both sides; the fact of the many Roman Catholics who have- always supported Colonel Bruen having been fright- ened to such a degree on the present occasion thar very few of them had courage to come in, coupled with the extraordinary exertions and thread of the Priests, the Radicals have triumphed in the return, pro tempore, Vigors and Raphael-the sheriff having declared them duly elected. The state of the poll beine. at the close, for- W' Vigors.627 Raphael. 626 Bruen g.72 Kavanagh. 511 The Conservative candidates are determined to peti- tion. Informations have been sworn by several Roman Catholics against certain individuals, wh forced them, under very strong denunciations of des- truction, to vote against Bruen and Kavanagh. HULL ELECTION. FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL.—SATURDAY. Colonel Thompson, 1 428 Mr. Mildmay 1*423 Mujority at the close of the poll.5

The Times, in speaking of Mr Cobbett'tf powers of writing, mentions among others his slaskitig and slaughtering invective." 9 VOLUNTARY AFFIDANI[TS.- A casefor ihe Lan- yers.-With respect to the Bill lately passed on thi. subject, although it passed on the 12th OF JUNE, 1835, and the 12tb section says that it is to commence on the 1st day of June next ensuing, "-yet the II)th see tion is as follows:- II And be it enacted, that this Act shall commence and take effect from and after the fifteenth day of June, in this present year, the year of our Lord, one tnousand, eight hun- dred and tbirty-five." POLEWART PSERAGE.The House of Lords has decided that Scott, Esq., the cia'ma it of the vacant peerage of Polewart, has fully established his claim. We understand that both oorn and flour are shipplngr from this country to America, in consequence of the wheat crops ha»ing failed in the United States. DIGNIFIED BODY.-The Debates in the Se.iafe of this State are most disreputable to any legislative body, but particularly to that branch of our state Government, The epithets "liars," "drunkards, "cheats," demagogues," "dishonest," and distio. ouruble men," are now quite common New York Pap, r. On Saturday last a deputation from the small parish of St. Helen, Bishopsgate-street, presented to their veuerable Vicitr (the Rev. James Blenkarne) a handsome tea service of plate, with an inscription expressive of the affection and esteem in which the parishioners at large have ever held their worthy pastor during his constant ministry for 38 years, whilst receiving the least secular reward of any il1 cumbent in London. J THE MARRIAGE BILL.-The Protestant Dis- senters' Marriage Bill is, we understand, to be post- poned till the next Session of Parliament, in order that it may be introduced in co Junction with a Bill for the General Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths. Mr Thomas Campbell has just arrived at Paris from Algiers. He has, we understand, visited every approachable part of the colony, and has collected mass of interesting materials for a long contemplated work on this, as yet, almost untrodden ground. A POSER FOR THE BALLOT ADVOCATES.-The Glasgow Courier, observes that were vote by ballot introduced into the election of representatives of the people, by a parity of reasoning, it ought to be adopted in collecting the votes of Members of Parliament upon the various questions which come under their delibera- tioti; and what, we ask, would the plcdgemongers and political unionists, who bind their favourite candidates to. a particular line of conduct, and a particular opinion on every conceivable subject, say to thh? If they thirst after cowardly exemption for themselves, as we think secret voting to be, they must in common justice concede the same to their representatives or rather delegates, in Parliament, and thus lose 811 controul over their political conduct. We scarcely think the blusterers for the ballot, so uncongenial to the spirit of our free institutions, are yet prepared for a result like this, but to which all their arguments invariably lead. CORPORATION REFORM.—On Monday last, thera was a strong muster of the town-clerks at the British Coffee-house, for the purpose of preparing petitions, &0; to present to the House of Commons, begging they might be permitted to be heard by Counsel at the bar of the Honorable House, in defence of their rights and privileges. There were seventy gentle- men present, who appeared to be fully sensible of the importance of the subject, and that it would not be equitable for the Legislature to pass the Act of Lord John Russell's, now before the Commons' House of Parliament. We understand a deputation afterwards waited upon Sir Robert Peel, to request he would present the same to the House of Commons, &c. CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—A servant girl WAS burned to death, last week, at Hulme, Lancashire, through mending her stockings in bed, and dropping asleep. Two of her master's children, who slept with her, narrowly escaped destruction. CYMDEITHAS GWYR A LLANCIAU ERYRI, OIL THE SOCIETY OF THE MB* OF SNOWDO-.IA.-Thit Society held their accustomed annual meeting on the 8th instant, being Whit Monday, at Beddgelert. They assembled at the hotel to the number of 200 members, bearing their staffs and ribands. The Rev| 1. H. Pring, B. A., the officiating minister for the oc- casion, the President, and iMr Vawdrey of PlasgwY* nant met them, and after arranging themselves into order, they walked in procession to the parish church, where divine service was performed, and & very appropriate sermon preached by the above- named clergyman. His text was taken from the 13th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews, verse 16th—"But to do good and to communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." The Sooiety then returned in similar array to the hotel, where a very excellent and substantial dinner was provided by Mr John Prichard, the worthy and active innkeeper, with which, according to the printed rules of the Society, the members were allowed a specific portion of ale. After that, tht,lv, all retired, very orderly and soberly, to their respec- tive liomes.-North IVales Chronicle. MAENTWItOG.-On Whit Monday, the scholars, nearly one hundred in number, usually attending the Sunday school, were entertained to dinner J/1 their school room by their excellent patroness and benefactor, Mrs Oakley of Plas Tan-y-bwlch. The repast was elegant and substantial; and the scene was pleasing to all who witnessed it, and to none more than the recipients of her bounty. This school is of great advantage to the neighbourhood, and rS Oakley takes, if possible, increased interest in its prosperity; we understand she gives her persona* superintendance every Sabbath. The example worthy of imitation.-lbicl.
