      nan to _heintrigoing with government-be might suspect _, and He did suspect that there had been gross traderland business connected with the management , or ra tier the mismanagement of this bill , when they saw the Kivernmeut daring to insult the peop le of this country in Inch a manner . He thought the honse wonld agree _trithbim that it wasinsulting tothe country , and trifling _With the country for the right hon . gentleman to bring ton . members down to the house to listen to a two hours ' speech , and then subject tbem to this unworthy treat-Bent . Talk of bringing iu the biU -aettsession , thej _s 3 _ared not do it ; they would shrink from it . He _reeerred to himself the right , and he gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the honse , on the first Committee of Supply , and to bring before the public the mass of evidence of gross misconduct connected witb

      . thise monopolising schemes . The honse must take steps before it is too late to secure the public against the _«•& _- _** of this misconduct . He asserted that the public irere not aware of one-twentieth part of what had occurred with , regard to railroads . He _lsoew that tbe _genilemen who conducted the puhlie _' press _aiid , as it was tbeir _slntj to do , give pabllcity to what was going forward ; "bat in spite of their attention , and assiduity , and fidelity , and accuracy , they were not aware ef many facts of _-e-hichhe possessed a knowledge . The next parliament , lie expected " , would-be & railroad parliament , and the government would say there was such en opposition to the measure that they feared to be left in aminority , and thereby lose their situations , and they would , as they

      had done now , truckle to the railway interest , as thay often did to parties ou their own side . Ob , what a melancholy state of things was this for the country ! If tbat great man . Mr Pitt , were in the house , he might truly exclaim , " Oh , saTe my country ! " He ( Colonel Sibthop ) bardlybelieved such conduct had been exhibited Tby any government . He did not believe it was the intention of tbe government to attempt tointroduce tbis KU next session , but if he were returned to the next parliament the would take up tbe question of railroads , which he bad been prevented from doing now by tbe pusillanimity of the present government . He could not Bit down without expressing , not his regret but his satisfaction , at having hadan opportunity of witnessing thdr pusillanimity , so worthy of the government .

      Mr Roebuck said , a more undignified way of disposing of a measure Taj a government he had never seen . He found upon the paper a notice that the Chancellor of the Exchequer -was to move the second reading of the Eailway , ( So . 2 ) BUI before the other orders , and he had com . down with other members , expecting that- the government , as they had solemnly declared , were to go on with the biH , and he found , on a sudden , that the KU was ta be withdrawn . They had thus lost a day , and a great part of another day , and had to listen unnecessarily to a two hours' speech . He thought tbat

      something must have happened since the votes were printed . The house had missed oae railway hill ; there was on-Other , the Eailway ( Ireland , No . 2 ) Bill . He was anxious to know whether the noble lord would at once give up the Railways ( Ireland ) Bill . He wished to pay every deference to tbe noble lord , as to the mode in which he proposed proceeding with his own measures , but he most at the same time observe that tbat was a measure whicii could not pass without considerable _adisamssion ; he therefore wisfeed to know whether the noble lord intended to press It during the present

      session t Mr Hudsoh expressed his acknowledgments to Mr Stratt for the withdrawing the bill , and warned the house ef the inconvenience of tampering with property , now amounting in value to nearly two hundred millions sterling . Lord J . Bossell denied that the object of the bill was ¦ unnecessarily te interfere with private property , it being amply to improve the railway system of the country . He then stated that it was the intention of the government to proceed with the Irish Eailway Bill , iu reference to which his views were very different from those expressed by Mr Roebuck . The second reading of the Irish Railway Bill was then postponed till Friday .

      Lord G . Bestisck , after once more congratulating the government upon its adoption , in reference to the bUl , of the principle which he had advocated in introducing the sixteen million biH , intimated that it was not his intention to offer any amendment to it , but to press npon tha government the necessity for a further practical extension _, of the principle which it embodied . The bill was then withdrawn , sereral _othert followed in its wake , and the other orders having been disposed of , the house rose at a quarter past eight o ' clock . _TUESDATf , Joins 22 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —Eiilwat _Bosisess . — Lord _BaonGHiM , in postponing bis railway resolutions until Monday next , took occasion to express bis disappoint ment at the sudden withdrawal of the Eailway Bill in the other boose ol parliament . Anything more lamentable , be might add more ridiculous , he never knew . Bissoraic of Makchester Bat .. —On the order of the day for the committee on this bill ,

      The Bishop of Exxtek said that there seemed to um to he special objections to it on constitutional grounds . Ihe bill claimed for the sovereign the right of appointing bishops without atthe same time giving to them their "writ of _snmmens to the House of Peers . Now , according both to Lord Cke and Sir Matthew Hale , this was a contravention of the constitution . The Loan _Chikceu _. or said that the bill claimed no unconstitutional power for the crown . "Nobody questioned the right of every bishop existing to his writ of summons , but this was a scheme for creating feur new bishops without that right , except as vacancies should occur , and the scheme was expressly submitted to parliament for its approbation . The crown would do nothing in the matter without the consent of parliament , Tbe house then went into _wmmittte . The first clause was agreed to .

      Lord Kedesd ale moved the omission of the second clause , and to substitute the following : — " And whereas doubts may arise whether bishops of the new sees to be established under the powers of tbis act may not demand , as of right , writs of summons to parliament , be it therefore enacted , pursuant to the declaration of Her Majesty herein before recited , that until Her Majesty shall be graciously pleased to summen to parliament any bishop holding one of the said sees , no bishop holding that see shall be entitled to demand , as of right , a writ of summons to parliament . ' * After a brief discussion , in which Lord Stanley , tbe Lord Chancellor , aad the Bishop of London , took part , their lordships divided For tbe original clause 44 For the amendment 14 Majority ......... —30

      The remaining clauses then passed through committee , and after the various bills had been advanced a stage their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past eight . HOUSE OF C 0 MM 0 X 8 . —Mr _TituEBs once more directed the attention of the house to the issue pending between himself and Mr Christie , in reference to the nature of the questions put by the latter to Sir F . Lewis , who was examined as a witness before the Andover committee , and read several extracts from the journals of the Bouse , which he contended justified the allegations which he had made witb respect to the improper nature of _fte questions alluded to .

      Mr _Chsistie said he was satisfied from the mods in which , the house yesterday received the denial be gave to tiie statement of the hon . member for Wolverhampton , and from the testimony which was borne to his _c-ondact by those hon . membeM who saw and heard him daily , what the feeling of the honse was , and he should think it beneath hhn again to deny what he had yesterday denied on his honour as a gentleman . ( Bear . ) The matter then dropped . Cotsss , _DoiiEs . —Mr Mutrrz then moved that the House resolve itself into a committee of customs to consider the duties upon the importation of copper ( Act 5 and 6 Tict ., c . 47 , ) with a view to their reduction or abolition . Mr Ewabx seconded the motion . And after a few words from Sir Cusw . es _Lexou ,

      The CHASCMioB of the Exchequeb , without entering into the question involved in the motion , felt himself called upon to resist it , as he was not then in a better situationtbanhewasatthe _wimnencement of the session , when he resisted similar motions presented b , otber honourable gentlemen , _tosaenfice any item of the

" Twelve years ago he brought before the * house a similar proposition , and he thought it one ofthe most important measures for the relief oilreland .

      An Hon . Member hero moved that the hous » be counted , and there being only thirty members present . .,.- i . _ B stood adjourned at half-past seven o ' clock . - WEDNESDAY , Jcne 23 . •• ¦¦ -- ¦ HOUSE OF COMMONS . —After disposing of some private business , and a _conversation as to the time when several important bills , would be proceeded with , t : e house went iuto committee on the Seduction and Prostitution Bill . Clause 1 was agreed to tiem . eon . The second clause , enacting that no indictment should be quashed for want of form , was expuoged . " On the tbird clause , which provided tbat the court may order payment of costs and expenses of prosecutors and _waltlPHSeS

      Mr C . Berxeiet moved the omission of the words " whether any bill of indictment for such charge shall or shill not be actually praferred , " and also of the words " together with a compensation for their trouble and loss oftima _* . ' * Mr SrooNER had no objection to the amendments , and thfy w . re accordingly agreed to . Th .- remaining clauses were then agreed to . On the question that the bill be reported , Mr UoEBrcK said that he objected to the principle of this hill _altogether . His objection was this , that the house in passing this bill were travelling out of the real

      province uf _legislation into the province of simple moral _, ity , and that they were attempting by legislative interference to bring about that which no mere law could ever effect . He objected also to the details of the bill as ivll as to the principle . It was proposed to punish the offence in question b-imprisonment , " with Or without hard labour , in the common gaol or houso of correction f < T any term not exceeding two years . " Now , this was almost the largest extent of imprisonment applied to any crime whatever . He considered also that under this bill any man could be made the victim of the vilest conspiracy .

      Mr Spooneb said , that the objection which had been tak- n to the measure , namely , that Uprc-posed to effect an _ohjt-ct which _should be left to the influence ' of morality , applied to evary penal statute for the suppression of crime . He would not enter into details , but if it were fitting to do so , thi . house wohU be appalled by the extent to which this crime was carried by agents all over the couatry ; and the victims were chiefly the children of cottagers and ar tisans . " MrC . _Bebkelet was of opinion that the bill would only increase the evil which it was intended to remedy . lie _expressed his regret that the discussion which took place on the subject when the measure was last before the bouse had uot been reported , and concluded by moving as an amendment , that the report should be received that day six months .

      Sir J . _Pakingtoh complimented the gentlemen through wbose instrumentality an account of what passed in tbat house was usually conveyed to the public upon tbe discretion tbey had shown in refraining from entering at any length into this subject when it was last under the consideration of the house , ( general approbation , ) and he hoped they would pursue a similar course on the present occasion . After some further conversation , SirG . _Sbei said , he admitted there was some force in the observations of the honourable " member for Bath , but he thought it would he unfair to the hon . member for Birmingham wholly to abandon tbe measure . The course he should suggest was , that the chairman should report the bill , and between the present time and the consideration of the report the hon . member for Birmingham should , with the legal members of the committee , re-consider tbe clause , and either omit the second part of it altogether , or otherwise obviate the objections to it .

      Mr T DnscemE said that the second section of the first clause had been suggested by him in the select committee to Whom the bill bad been referred , because he thought tbat tberich , who created the temptation to the crime of seduction and prostitution , should be equally punished with the poor panderers to them . If the committee shonld reject that provision , he hoped the house would reject the bill altogether . The Chaibhan then put the question that the bill with amendments be reported to the bouse . Mr C . Bebkelet moved as an amendment that the chairman do now leave the chair , as he could > not in form move tbat the bill be reported that day six months . The committee divided , — For the amendment ... . ... ... 2 S -Againstit 81 Majority _againstit ... ... ... —55

      Poos , Removal Act Amendment Bill . — Mr 0 . Bankes moved the second reading of the Poor Removal Act Amendment Bill . Sir J . s . Pakisgton oppo _ ed the bill . It would in fact repeal the settlement act of last session , which would be to commit a great outrage on the poor , and to rob them of one of the most valuable boons that had ever been conferred npon tbem . Admitting that the act bad produced hardship in some particular cases , he contended that those cases were attributable to the harshness and cruelty of guardians whs had sought thereby to drive away paupers from their parishes . The real motive oi this hill was not the benefit of the poor , but the relief of the rate-payers , who complained of the additional burden which had been thrown on them by the Settlement Act . The proper remedy was not to Repeal that Act , but to make a further alteration in the law of settlement . He would move that this bill be read a second time tbat day six months .

      Sir 6 . Obex said the bill would have his decided opposition ; for it repealed the very substance of the Settlement Act—the principle embodied in the first clause —whereby a certain term of residence was held to prevent removals . This principle had been affirmed to prevent the evils arising from the sudden removals of large masses of labourers on their being thrown ont of employment . Though tbis principle might have operated hardly on some rate-payers , the balance of advantage bad been decidedly in favour of the poor . Sir George admitted that inconveniences had arisen ont ofthe Act of last session , and that it wonld be necessary within a short period to consider fully tbe law of settlement and removal ; but he objected to immediate and temporary legislation , such as this bill proposed . MrB . Palmer , tbe Marquis of Granby , Mr Spooner , Mr 7 . Sminh , Mr Rice , and Mr P . Miles , addressed the house in support of the Bill ; Sir J . Graham aud Mr C . Buller in opposition to it .

      Sir J . Geaham said he bad distinctly stated when he brought forward the bill of last year , that he did not propose it as a compensatien to the landed interest in consideration of the Repeal of the Corn Laws , which had been alleged in the course of the debate . The bill last year did not propound a Bew principle with reference to industrial residence for five years giving a right lo relief , for it had been introduced In a former bill on ths law of settlement . He dissented from the statement tbatthe measure of last year was favourable to the rich and not to the poor , and he opposed the bill now before the bouse because although the old measure might involve one rate-payer in partial injury , its repeal would be an universal wrong to the great body of the poor ; to the class of paupers who never applied

      for relief for fear of being removed—a most extensive class too and the industrious Irish who had laboured in the manufacturing districts of this country for five years , aad who were removed the moment they applied for assistance . To these classes of paupers the bill of last sessioB was a great boon . It would give relief to hundreds who had contributed by their industry to the wealth of England , bnt who were removed the moment they sought for parochial aid . ( Hear , hear . ) He confidently expected that on the opening of a new parliament the government would be prepared with a measure on tbe law of removal and settlement . MrG . Bankes replied , and the honse divided—For the second reading of the bill ... 102 Against it ... l _05

      Majority against the bill ... S The announcement of this " measuring cast" _majoilly in favour of the government was received with loud cheers and laughter . The house adjourned at six o ' clock . THURSDAY , Jcne 24 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Marquis of LahsdoWNE stated , in answer te Lord Brougham , that it was not intended to detain the Count das Antas , and other prisoners ef war now confined at Lisbon until the complete pacification of Portugal . The Cemetery Clauses Bill was read a third time and passed . And the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —On Sir G . Gbei moving the third reading of the Poor Laws Administration Bill , Mr WaKLEr moved , as an amendment , that the bill be read a third time that day three months .

      The amendment was ultimately rejected hy a majority oi 105 to 35 , aad the bill was read a third time . Mr Spooneb moved additional clauses prohibiting the commissioners from issuing any rules or orders against granting outdoor relief to the able-bodied poor , when a second division took place , the clauses being negatived by a majority of 72 , the numbers _beiaglOD to 37 . Mr Bobthwick then proposed the following clause : — "That when any two persons , being husband and wife , both of whom shall be above the age of sixty years , shall be received into any workhouse , in pursuance ofthe pro . visions of the said recited act or of this act , or of any rule , order , or regulation , of the commissioners appointed by authority of this act , such two persons shall not be compelled to live separate and apart from each other in such workhouse . "

      To this an amendment was moved by Lord J . Bussrti ., with the view of giving a discretionary power to the guardians . Upon this the htuse divided , when there appeared for the amendment of Lord J . Russell , 55 ; against it , 70 ; majority , 15 . The clause waB then agreed to . Other suggested amendments wer « rejected , and the bill was read a third time and passed . Thebouse . then adjourned . FRIDAY , Joke _| 25 .

      Birmingham .-The members meeting at the Ship Inn having heard the letter read from the-Star , of June 19 th ; signed "J . Mason , " wherein lie complains of us condemning a portion of his remarks , copied from the Tory paper , we were perfectly satisfied that the report in question , though not verbatim , conveyed a correct _interpretation of his remarks . Of course he cannot deny any part of that report , for , if it had been wrong , it would have been his duty to have pointed out the misrepresentation ; but he complains that the whole of his disgraceful speech upon that occasion was not sent to the Star . Why , surely the brief report published was quite sufficient to satisfy any reasonable mind that Mr J . Mason had forfeited all claims to the confidence ofthe workingclasses . We should have sent a verbatim , report , but wo could not obtain one , or it would have placed Mr Mason in a ' worse position than what he now occupies . Signed on behalf of the members meeting at the Ship , J . _Nkwuouse . Secretary .

The following resolution was moved by Mr Hodges , seconded by Mr Beare , and carried with only one dissentient voice : — " That this meeting , having considered the attack on the _Cemmunists by Feargus O'Connor , in a recent number of the Labourer , is of opinion that the tacit

      refusal of _leargus' O'Connor and Ernest Jones to publish the reply of Thomas Frost , or even to acknowledge its receipt , is an act of injustice to the party attacked , and evinces an anti-progressive spirit . "Mr Froat disclaimed any personal enmity against the parties censured , and after announcing that the Chartist Election Fund exceeded 5 s ., he moved tho f ollowing resolution , which was seconded by Mr Beare , and carried unanimously .: — " That the thanks of this meeting are due to Feargus O'Connor and Ernest Jones , for their timely interference at the Crown and Anchor meeting ; by which they saved the democrats of Westminster from Whig degradation .

      The British Corn Trade. The Weather Has ...

      THE BRITISH CORN TRADE . The weather has been decidedly broken throughout the past week , and though the rain which has fallen has done no further positive mischief than damaging a portion of the hay in early districts , where cutting was commenced the first week in June , still it has causedsome uneasiness . Up to the present time the reports from the agricultural districts continue to speak well ofthe _grtain crops , but the complaints respecting the _re-uppearancu of the potato disease have lately increased . The very important fall which took place on Monday week in the price of wheat , had a depressing effect on nil the leading provincial markets . A large fleet of vessels grain laden , have this week arrived off the coast , the greater part at Cork and Falmouth for orders ; this arrival is principally from tlio Mediterranean , nnd has heen long expected . Uy far the greater number of the ships appear to be laden with Indian corn , and that article has consequently fallen materially in value , not only in London ami Liverpool , but likewise in Ireland—Marls-lane

      Express . ' Tue Season and the CKors . —Since our last we have had great quantities of rain , and the temperature bus been lower than it usually is at this season . Still the crops continue to look _vei-y well . The wheat crop has now hnd quite as much moisture as it requires , or as will do it any good ; but we do not believe that it has sus . tained the least injury from the rain . The spring corn of all kinds continues to improve , nnd never looked better than at present . Should tbe weather be favourable in July it will give a most nbundant crop . Hay making has been begun in this neighbourhood , but is not yet general . The _ci-ups are fair , but not largo . —Liverpool Times , Tuesday . We have had lino growing weather in South Lancashire since our Inst , without any further fall of rain . The crops of all kinds continue to improve . — Liverpool Times , Thursday . CORN , & c .

      Mabk Lane , Monday , Juno 21 . —Fresh up to-day the receipts of wheat of home produce wore but moderate , and the show of samples was by no means extensive . Several unfavourable accounts respecting the potato crop having come to hand this morning from various parts of the country , und the weather during the last week having been showery , tho factors and holders , in the early part of the day , were very firm in their demands , and in some instances they succeeded in obtaining 2 s to 8 s more money for selected parcels of both red and white . But as the day progressed , the trade became very inactive , nnd the lino parcels which chan ged hands nfter twelve o ' clock , were at an improvement of no more than is per qr ., while several hundred quarters found buyers at prices about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight , in order to effect aclearance . This falling off in the inquiry , and depression in value from the opening of the market , must be attributed to tho largo inportatlons of foreign wheat and _flaiiii _* .

      We bad an extensive quantity of foreign wheat on offer , certainly over 30 , 000 qrs . A few parcels of very inferior Dant 7 . ic changed hands nt an improvement of from is to 2 s per qr ., but the advance was by no means general ; and we quote prices , taking tho trado ns a whole , the same as on Monday last . _Notwithstnuding the show of barley was small , the trade with that article was in a very depressed state , at barely , but at nothing quotable _boneutli last week ' s currencies . With malt we were scantily supplied , nevertheless the trado was in a sluggish state at unaltered quotations . There were very few oats on offer , yet the demand for that article was heavy _atbnrely lust wcuk ' s iigurcs . In beans and peas , tho supplies of which wero small , next to nothing was doing at previous quotations . Indian corn wns iirm , and higher rates were

Mark Lane , Wednesday , June 28 . —A fair averace quantity of English wheat has been received tbis week , _uudtlie show of samples of that article to-day was moderate . Owing to tho large importations of foreiirn wheatthe trade was very dull , and to have effected sales _?«* ., i no f qu » to Is per qr . must have been submitted to . witlvtoveign wheat we were heavily supplied , hence sales progressed slowl y on somewhat easier terms .

The _knowledge that further considerable s applies ave near at bnnd deters nil millers and dealers , who are not forced into the market from shortness of stocks , from _pevchasing j and SO little business has been done here _ta . day , that it is difficult to quote a value for any description of corn .

Liverpool , Monday , Juno 21 . —The week ' s import of American Hour is vo . y heavy , being over H' 0 , 000 barrels ; mid other articles ( excepting wheat , of which small supplies aro at hand ) the arrivals ave pretty good . Tha business passing siuco last Tuesday has beon moderately fair , but the rcluctnnco of millers and dealers to go into stock enabled purchases of wheat and Hour to bo _nni'lo on easier terms .

Tlie wool market was also dull ; brokes and skins were scarce , and foreign wool was not much inquired after ; prices of the latter have a downward tendency . Tho handloom flannel weavers have not at prcsrnt more than half employment .

      If alifax . —The piece-market still continues in the same dull state , and very little business doing . For yarns and wool there is but a limited demand , and no alteration in prices to notice . Hosiery and Lack Trades . —There is scarcely any change for the better in any ofthe branches ofthe cotton hose trade , and there has not been within the memory of man so extensive and such a long dearth of demand and ctnployniGiit , as the present stoppage has now lasted more than two months , and that in the months of April , May , and June , usually the busiest times of the year . _Natfhing c n exceed the patience and resignation of the great mass ofthe working-population , whicii ought toc . T . cite pity and commiseration amongst the governing and . thinking classes , and cause them to inquire whether we are not upon a wrong course in following the longtried now _ever-failinif maxim of letting every thing find its own level . The relative state of the two great

      branches of cut-ups and wrought hose are in much the same state as tliey were last week ; if anything , the former is further declining . Although the drawer branch is in a most deplorable state , yet there are shops which , in the midst of the panic , have been kept constantly going . In the villages the truck system continues , nnd is likely to extend , though several convictions have taken place , as some ofthe principal hosiers evidently encourage tho practice , as it causes the wages to become lower , and i _enquires less capital . It is considered there is a change for tho better in the silk glove trade , and great hopes are entertained in some quarters of a further amendment . The fancy lace trnde is even worse , and a sort of general holi . day prevails at _atfnry Gate , the _principal seat ofthe lace warehouses . Even tlie German houses have discharced

      their workpeople in considerable numbers . Tho silk bobbin net trade has a little more activity , and seems likely to increase . The muslin laces , upon the thick thread principal of ornamenting , has met with a check , but the new embossed muslins have been well received . This manufacture seems at present the last hope of Not . tnigbam . We had nearly forgot to mention that a new manufacture has been practised rather in secret , which , at length , is attracting great attention at Belper ; this is , that the hosiery whicii has been heretofore teazled by machinery off the frame by hand _prm-pse , lo noav toaaoiud nnd a nap is raised while tho web is wenring . This is principally used in gloves , nnd will have a direct tendency te supersede leather gloves with fleeey linings . —Notliiiajnoni . / 0 'iraai .
