      , taM get &em t » understand My * mple word . Some persons considered education to mean the learning of a certain number of roles in arithmetic , or reading sad writing , aad then they were educated ; bat they were no such thing . Were the nammer - —the files—the shuttles , or vaj other instruments they might nse in their businesses , the manufactBrers ? yet those things , triicli certainly form apart ef education , were no less the instruments of education , tout not the e&ocatkai itself . Mr . P . entered into detail upon the different modes adopted in giving instruction to youth , enumerating examples such as infant schools—BelPs system of education , and

      others ; and in a most humorous and pleasant style , shewed up their defects , by giving amusing anecdotes Jh illustration of bis subject . About the middle of kis address , in order to show that be did not teach merely , without carrying it into practice , he Teqnested bis audience to stand up , observing , at ths «* me time , -feat they lad then been sitting in a position listening to him qmte long enough , as they * at-npon forms without backs , and that placed them necessarily in such a situation as became injurious to health , producing chronic diseases , &c . He instanced th » t the -rery forms shewed a proof that they were not an educated people , or otherwise they would

      have bad backs to them . Commenting on Mechanics ' Institutions , be said they were a complete misnomer as they stood at present , and were in point of iaet no men thing as they are represented to be , being mpported mainly by the richer classes , and in that respect did not gtre those advantages to the mechanical labourer that their name imports ; for eveiy £ 5 and £ 10 subscriber always expected to have value received for what they did , either in say or influence , one way or another . He strongly recommended the mechanics beginning institutions for themselves amongst their own order , and shewed by what an easy process such things might be done , at a very

      small expense indeed to each individual , if they were only willing , as a penny subscription , in many cases , irould be found amply sufficient to have a lecture once a week . In Scotland , they had adopted this plan ; for though they bad been represented as exceedingly straight-laced in respect to religion , jet they never thought that a chapel was made the worse by iaving it used for a leetnre-room on a week-day , and in some instances they bad got the use of tie chapeb for nothing , and in others for a Tery moderate charge , so that a penny entrance to bear a lecture bad been found sufficient to par all

      expenses , and £ 30 or £ 40 to spare , that might go towards paying the expense of a lecturer . These "beginnings -would prove exceedingly -oseM , if the working classes would bnt follow them -op , and Blight , on account of their numbers , be made quite easy to them , and such institutions would serve to prepare them for the higher ones ; and being under their own controul and management , they would find the advantage of them , es the purses of the rich could not then interfere . Sir . D . gave a very interesting account of several that be bad assisted in establishing in Scotland , that from small beginnings lad soon increased to some hundreds . The able

      issuer in which the lecturer laid open the different system ? , established by certain teachers , must be beard to be duly appreciated , and the pleasant and affable manner be adopts in bis illustration ? , makes CTen his reproofs agreeable to bis hearers . He ¦ positively declared that we are not balf educated , besides being brougbt up under systems that tea ? b I "us b ' nle or nothing , even where they profess to give I instruction . The metbod they bad adopted , in many instances , where the means for carrnngocttheir object was very small ; they had formed themselves into classes , for the purpose of learning afferent branches of education , —for instance , when

      they wished to teach geography , or the use of the map ? , tbey procured a large board ,, and painted it black , and , by the use of chalk , tbey wer e enabled to cypher upon it any place they wished to represent , "casg a little chemical blue , or something of that sort , for the water , and for the houses tbey struct in brass nails , as they found them to be useful for two or tkree purposes , for , in exhibiting them before others in their night lectures , the beads being bright , they necessarily reflected both to the right and left , bo that the pupils they were teaching could easilv

      see where they were situated . These boards served two purposes , for tie individuals who jnade them were learning geography at the same time they were marking them , and tbey became exceedingly useful afterwards in teaching others . Mr . D . strongly recommended the bringing of every object directly before the learner , so that by that means the best sna most correct idea could be conveyed to him of iiat which you wished bim to understand , whether it was a wheel as connected with machinery , or any thing eke . The lecturer concluded a littJe before tea o'clock ,, eomplimtntine Ms audience for the

      great attention tbey had paid to bim during his Ie < rtare , and said that be did not know that he" had ets addressed a more intelligent audience , but a ¦ mere attentive one be could not . He announced that his third lecture of the course be bad been delivering in this town would be given on Monday night , when those who felt inclined might attend " . It wpdd no : be quite so cheap as that be bad just delivered them ; and , from the nature of bis engage ^ nests , be wa 3 afraid that another opportunity would pot be afforded him at present of thus accommodating them , or be should be very elad of so doing . The apparent satisfaction with which every one present seemed to listen to Mr . Dorsey , implied , at least , inward satisfaction , and no doubt each person pe * ent felt thankful for the gratuitous treat the lecturer bad afforded them .

      BOABD of Gtfabdixks . — The Board met on . Friday week to dispatch their usual business , when twelve o ! the elected Guardians -were present besdes foar of the Ex Official , namely , Messrs . Waterhouse , Pollard , Ealph and W , Briggs . The regular chairman , John " Waierhonse , Esq ., presided , the place of meeting was the Court of Requests . After the clerk had read over the minutes of the preceding muring , and five notices of marriage , a tender for supplying the workhouse with beef and Hmnon was put in from Mr . Joseph Broadbent , botcher , which offered to supply the Board with beef at 9 s . 4 $ . per stone ( 161 bs . per stone ) , and mutton at 8 s . 6 d . ; this was the only tender offered Tmder what

      is called the supply of provision , clothing , &c , for the quarter ending 29 th of September ; but k was not con ? idered to be very moderate . Mr . i ^ tle state d that Mrs .

      DEWSBUEV . Poo * Law Gtji . rdiaxs . —A meeting of the Guardians of the Dewsbury Union was held in the Church School Room , on Monday last , pursuant to an order of the Poor Law Commissioner ? . The Guardians , besides the order , received a letter from the Commissioners , allodingi to a resolution which was passed by the Board of Guardians on the 23 rd of April inst ., of which letter the following is a copy : — Poor Law Commission Office , Somerset House , July 7 , 1838 . Gentlemen , — = The Poor Law Commissioners for England and Wales have bad under their consideration the resolution , passed . at- a meeting of your Board , held on the 23 rd of April , expressive of the : — * ¦ : - -

      opinion of : the Guardians , that having so far complied with the requirements of the Poor Law Amendment Act as is needful for the working of the Marriage and Registration Acts , and having given instmctions for fresh surveys and valuations of such townships within the Union as require them , it is neither expedient nor necessary to carry the provisions of the aforesaid Act into further effect in the < iistrict comprised within the Dewsbury Union . TbeCemmissioners have also repeatedly had under their consideration the statement made befoTe the Committee of the Honse of Commons , by a member of the Board of Guardians , ahowing reasons demonstrative of the advantages which would arise from the of

      xntrodncin ^ provisions the Poor Law Amendment Act into the Union . They deem it right to communicate to the Board of Guardians that the result of the investigation they have made is to satisfy themselves that the apprehensions which are by" some p _ ersons entertained of the increased expanse , which may be occasioned by carrying into effect the arrangements for the administration of relief to the poor under the provisions of the Act , and of the little advantage likely to compensate for sneb increased expense are without foundation , and

      pursuing the course which in the execution of the trust confided to their hands they think it their bounden duty to follow , they have now decided on issuing an order placing the superintendence of the relief of the poor in the Board of Guardians . - In so doing they cannot help expressing a confident hope that toe Guardians will give to the operation of the law a full and lair trial , relying uponthe assurance of the Commissioners that no exertion sliaQ be spared on their part to remedy and remove any imperfection in the working of the law which experience may bring to light .

      Signed by Order of the Board , E . CHADWICK , Secretary . The Board of Guardians of the Dewsbury Union . After the routine of the day was gone through , a letter was read from Mr . Power ordering the manner in-which the board were to proceed to carry the infamons law into effect . "When the letter had been read , the chairman , Mr . Ingham , proposed that the meeting proceed to the appointing of a treasurer for the Union . Immediately upon this , Mr . Pennv arose and said , that before the proceeding to the appointment of a treasurer , he had a morion which be wished to submit to the board- In making some

      prefatory remarks , he observed , that it was evident from the letter of the Poor Law Commissioners that some evidence had been given before the House of Commons , upon which the Commissioners were determined to act . He had seen the evidence of Mr . Etti fon , which , to his mind , fully proved both the inutility and the impracticability ' of carrying the measure into effect ; therefore there must ' be ^ ome other evidence , which showed " reasons demonstrative of the benefits that would arise from the carrying the measure into effect . " Seeing that that was the case , he ( Mr . Penny ) begged to propose the following resolution : — " Thatin consequenceof the Poor

      , Law Commissioners having stated that a member of " the Board of Guardians having shown reasons demonstrative of the advantages" which would arise from introducing the provisions of the Poor Law Act into the Union , " the Board of Guardians beiDp ignorant of such evidence and reasons , that the clerk of the board be ordered to request that the Commissioners do furnish each Guardian with all or any evidence that may have been given by any Guardian or other person connected with this Union ; and that the consideration of the above question be postponed one whole week after such evidence be furnished to each Guardian / 3 Mr . Titus Brook

      observed that nothing could be more proper , for the reasons which bad convinced the Poor Law Commissioners might convince them . He , therefore , cordially seconded the motion . The chairman posit ively refused to put the motion . Mr . Ellison said , nothing £ oald be more reasonable than the motion . His evidence was before the public , and if there were reasons which would show the advantages , the Board ought to be furnished with them ; at all events we ought to know what the reasons were that had induced the Commissioners to issue their order : but still the chairman Tefused to put the motion . Upon this , Mr . Penny observed that , if Mr . Ingham refuse to put that motion he would move one more obnoxious , which he would be obliged to put ; for , by the 9 th section of Commissioners' Instruction

      , ¦ they order that , " The majority of the Guardians present at any weekly meeting may , if necessary ^ adjourn the same to the day of ' tbe next weekly , or o such other day previous to the next weeklv meeting as they may think fit . " Mr . Penny , therefore , proposed " that the meeting do adjourn for one whole week ;'' which motion also the chairman refused to _ put ; and contended that the section alluded to did not give the power of adjournment ; and said that he himself ( the chairman ) would be judge ol both the law and instructions ; and any thing which he considered contrary to either he should refuse to pnt ; atd he also declared , that if two Guardians voted with him he would carry out the law in Fpite of all they could do . Mr . Penny looked round at the Board with astonishment .

      BRADFOB . D . Stealing Coals . On Monday , a man , named Benjamin Hepworth , of "Wibsey , was charged with stealing coals from one of the pits belonging to the Low Moor Iron Company . A person named Barstow , employed as an overlooker bv the Company , having risen early that morning to look after soHe cows , espied the prisoner leaving the pit with several large pieces of coal under his arm , and going in the direction of his own house . The case being fullv proved , Hepworth was committed to the House of Correction for one month .

      . Inquest . —On " Wednesday , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . George Dickinson , the " R"harf Hotel , in this town , before G . Dyson , Esq . j and a respectable Jury , on the body of James Lee , who was found dead in the engine-house of Mr . James Wade , on the previous morning . The deceased was a man of weak intellect , and it appeared in evidence that he was without any settled habitation , constantly lodging in the engine-houses at the different factories in the town . He was in the habit of clean - ing out the flues at those places ; by this and other trifling works of jobbing , he contrived to support

      himself . It was proved that the deceased had complained for some days previous of a violent pain in the bowels . Mr . Kirby , surgeon , made a . post mortem examination of the body , and was of opinion that the cause of death in the individual was the rupture of the large bowel , from which a large quantity of foreign matter had made its way into the abdomen : the stomach was in a perfectly healthy state ; he was of opinion that nothing had been taken into the stomach of an injurious nature . The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes .

      Power Loom "Weavers . —Several girls in the employment of Mr . C . "Wand , of this town , in the above line of business , have been brought before the magistrates , charged with leaving their work in an unfinished state . The case of one girl , named Mary Ann Airton , occupied the Bench for some time . She stated that for no other offence than being a few minutes behind the time , she was taken from her own loom by the overlooker , and placed to one where the warp was so bad that several girls had previously left at . However , she was told that she must weave this warp or go about her business . The poor girl , sooner than be thrown out of

      employmentcom-, menced work at the loom in question ; when , according to her statement , during the first four days she earned Is . 4 id ., and in the next fortnight the sum of /? . 6 d ., or 3 s . 9 a , per week ; on this account she left the place . The Bench , however , determined that she must return and finish the work , as shehad commenced working at the loom . "We do not dispute the legality of the decision of the magistrates , respecting this girl ; but we would ask , providing the girl bad refused to go to the loom , and left the factory in consequence , would they have compelled Mr . "Wand to pay her for the work which the overlooker refused to let her finish in her own loom ?

      Mary' Ann Nicbolls and Sarah Armitage were brought up for the same offence : tbeir statement was , that the work was of that description that they could not earn their livelihood by it . The Bench decided as on the previous case . Several other names were called over , bnt not answering , proof was given of the serving of tbe gumruonses , and they were each convicted on default of appearing : tbe whole of them were mulcted in expeases , amounting to 4 s . each . "We are informed that one of the girls , sooner than return to her employment , preferred a month at the House of Correction .

      M ^ ^ - { EMBE » --John Hardy , Esq ., - ex n . V , for thiB borough , was on the bench at our « . ^ TJ ^ ' on Wednesday , as was " W . R . C . Stansfield Esq ., M . P . for Huddersfield . Both left at an earl y part of the proceedings . Dispensary—We are informed that our deputy constable , Mr Brigg , has paid into the hands of the treasurer of this institution the sum of ten pounds , being the amount of fines received by him on octal ™ n ? eJ % tlie ^^ trates have agreed to : allow warrants to be settled b y offending parties paving a certain sum to the above-named institution , °

      t AssociATiONS—We are informed that the thing hitherto existing under this title , at thisplace , is ma very distressing condition , owing to the miserable figure they must cut at the-coming registration . Last year they were something life ' a * pig swimming against the stream , they cut their own ° v ^ T year ' ifc a PP ears > weir favourite measure , the Poor Law Amendment Act , has risen up m judgment against them j above one hundred voters who have hitherto supported them , having forfeited their claim by the non-payment of poor ' s-rates * Ala * , poor Russell !

      Church Mouse . —It will be in the recollection of our readers , that a short time ago we inserted a paragraph announcing that one of those ragged jUrinalg had been caught making its way out of the Parish Church at this place , minus the tail and part of an ear . "We have again to inform our readers , that another of this miserable tribe was taken last Sunday , making its exit out of the church established by law , minus one leg and an ear . The boy by whom it was taken up , thinking it of no more value than one caught in their own cottage , on bis arrival at home gave it to the cat . It is very strange that our sensitive legislators , who manifest such an anxious solicitude , assigning a million reasons for the welfare of the rats , should entirely overlook the mice of the establishment . But so it is , tbe sharks always devour the smaller

      fry . Bees » . Gin . —During this week , a circular has been very extensively circulated amongst the gentlemen of the gin shops , calling upon each individual belonging to the exclusive fraternity to meet together on Friday evening , at the Union Inn . "We suppose it will be a meeting to condole each other on the ( to them ) probable fearful results of their Brougham-Wellington measure . A strict police regulation will enable them to conduct their business witk greater propriety . Small Pox . —This disease is at the present time very prevalent in the township of Bowling . Its results have proved fatal in a great many cases .

      Accidents . —On Wednesday last , as a man named James Hudson , resident in Brook-street , was going to mow some grass in a field near the Spink Well , in getting over the wall , into the field , tbe stones gave way , precipitating him to the other rfde , by which his " leg was broken in two places . He was immediately conveyed to the Dispensary . — As one of the Leeds coaches was passing tbe Junction Inn , about half-past five o ' clock , on Wednesday afternoon , a little boy , from six to seven years of age , who was playing on the road , was knocked down and run over by < he coach . When taken up , it was found that be had sustained a serious injury on the side of the face .

      HUDDERSFXELD . HCDDERSFIELD POOR LAW UNION . —On Monday last , according to the instructions of the Poor Law Commissioners , the Guardians of this Union met at the Register Office , Princess-street , Huddersfield , at eleven o ' clock . in the forenoon , William Brook , Esq ., in the chair . The committee appointed at a former meeting to investigate the Honley election , gave in their report as follows : — " That they consider the nomination of James Brook and Henry Littlewood was good , and agreeable to the instructions of the Poor Law Commissioner . * , as set forth in their instructions : that on

      examining the overseers and persons connected with the election , they were of opinion that great irregularities had been practised ; they then requested to see the voting papers , when Mr . Lancaster , the assistant overseer , said they belonged to the late overseers , and he could not produce them without tbeir concurrence . A demand was then made on tbe late overseers for the production of all papers connected with the election , when they said they had no objection to their being laid before the committee . The present overseer , backed by Lancaster , bis assistant , then positively refused to allow the committee to inspect them , consequenrlv thev could not

      ascertain who were the persons legally elected , or expose the irregularities that had been practised . " It was then agreed by the board that a case should be drawn out , founded on the facts stated in the report , and sent to tbe Commissioners for their opinion . The report of the committee appointed to investigate the additions made to the list of votes on the day after the election , was then read , which showed that great irregularities had there been practised . One of tbe committee wished to ask the Chairman , Mr . "William Brook , if he ' recollected sending in a claim for his property votes , and what was tbe name of tbeir firm stated in that claim . He

      said be had sent in a claim , and their firm was Henry Brook and Sons . It was never expressed by bim or any of the firm , in any other way . On beinjj told by the committee , that in his claim it was put William Brook and Co ., he said it was a forgery , as he never signed it in that way . Mr , Sutcliffe , one of tbe . E . r Officios , then moved that a committee be appointed to investigate the ¦ whole of the papers connected with the Huddersfield election , which was agreed to ; the investigation to take place on Thursday , tbe 26 th instant . A committee was also appointed to investigate the Meltham election , each to give in their report at the next meeting of the board . Mr . Power , the Assistant

      Commissioner , who had been present during the whole of the proceedings , then called the attention of the board to the late orders of the Commissioners , which were—that at that meeting they should fix upon a place for their future meetings , the day of the week on which they would meet , and the hour . A long debate then ensued , when the day of meeting was at length fixed for Friday , the hour one in the afternoon , and that their next meeting should be held in the Register Office on friday , the 3 rd of August . Thus another meeting has ended without anything being done , contrary to the boast of the friends of the New Poor Law , who were determined the law should be brought into full force at this meeting .

      HUDDERSFIELD GAS AGAIN . I expected , Mr . Editor , to see from the query of the previous week an answer to the same in your Star , but it did not appear . It must therefore be inferred that the extra charge of three shillings over Sheffield , and two shillings over Manchester and Leeds is an imposition by the watching and lighting committee on the inhabitants of Huddersfield , and that coals , < fec . being cheaper here than at either , they pocket that advantage and give the thirty per cent , discount to the tory occupiers as a bonus to

      prevent them from starting opposition . A pretty set of fellows they are , they will soon find that they have followed the wrong scent , and they will not long continue their pilfering and plundering . They are cowardly as w ^ ll as base , or their answer would have been in the Star last week . Snn ? ly the intelligent shopkeepers , publicans , and other consumers of gas will see it their interest to bold a public meeting on the subject of tnig robbery , and either arrange for a new company to make their own gas , or obtain a corporation .

      BARNSLEY . Northen Union . —A public meeting uf the Northern Union was held on Monday evening last , at 31 r . Crabtree's , Mr . Thackrah in the chair .-There was a very good attendance , and a deal of interesting discussion took place ; after which a number of resolutions were passed , one of which was , " that Mr . Oastler was not guilty of the charge made against him by the Whigs , namely , that he was the cause of riot which took place at Wakefield at tha last election , and that he , together withF . O'Connor , Esq ., Ilev . J . H . Stephens , Bev . "Wm . Hill , and other friends to Radicalism be invited to a public meeting and dinner , on the 21 st of August . "

      BULL Important to the Public—By a notice put out by the Town Council , the pig and cattle market , near the Hnmber Dock , will be closed , and the market in future held at the east end of Edward Place , near the Hessel new road , on and after Tuesday next . The Demon . —It is with considerable pain that we have observed , during the past week , the walls of this town thickly placarded with announcements , that boys and girls , above thirteen years of age , can

      be employed at the new Flax and Cotton Mills , as learners . We advise the people of this place to keep a sharp eye upon this establishment , or , at least , as sharp an eye as circumstances will permit . We observed , on passing the mills tlie oilier evening , . that a notice is placed on tbe door , that no person is to be admitted to tbe works except by an order from some official personage , we forget whom ; we , however , say beware , that system which has been a curse whereever it has been introduced , i *» not likely to prove a bles » ing to Hull .

      SotABBLi between M . and N . ^ -Sarah Naylor appeared before the Hull manstrates on Monday , to prefer a . charge of assault against Ann Mason , and the said Ann Mason appeared to prefer a simila charge against Christopher Nelson , the husband of the former complainant . The case excited much merriment in the court . The gum of the matter was that according to the statement of Mrs . Nelson , Mrs . Mason was tbe worse for drink , and refused to let her , the complainant , get water at the tap ; words ran high , and at length the parties began to souse ea . ch other with ; the liquid element , till they were both wet through . Upon this , Mrs . Mason followed the Nelsons up into their own house , and taking , some ^ nastiness out of a bairn ' s pot , "—( roars of daughter ) -- " daubed it on the shutters and

      in the key hole . " On the other side , Mrs . Mason denied that ihe fault was hers at all j she said Mr . Nelson came ^ out of hi 3 house , while she . wasxiean < ing the front of hers . He abused her , took her 3 T \ ish fronvher , and struck her with his fist over her breast . The witnesses on botbsidesproved nothing , but that both parties had been disorderly alike , and the Mayor having come to this conclusion , said that the peace of the town must be protected ; he should therefore require Christopher Nelson to enter into his recognizance of £ 5 to keep the peace for thremonths , and Ann Mason was to find a surety in the like sum to do the same . -

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Friday , July 20 . After the presentation of petitions , one of which , relating to the Established Church in Canada , led to important conversation between the Bishop of Exeter and Lord Glenelg , the right rev . prelate pnt the ; following question to the Colonial Secretary : — r i fn mstr « cti < > ns or any official letter to the k 3 * of Durham , are there any variations from , or raodihcations of , the standing instructions given to his predecessors since the acquisition of the colony , so far as respects the conduct which he is to pursue towards the Established Church in that colony , or towards thoso who are not in communion with it , especially the Roman Catholics ?" Lord GLENELG in reply said , that there was no variation in the instructions given to the Earl of Durham , except in some minor points . He had no objection , however , to the production of those instructions .

      The Bishop of EXETER then gave notice , that on Monday uext he should probably put some questions to the noble Baron on the subject of these instructions . The Marauis of LANSDOWNE gave notice , that on Monday he would move the second readin g ol" a bill for rebuilding the Royal Exchange . Several bills were advaaced a stage , and the remaining clauses of the Benefices Plurality Bill were discussed .

The County Treasurers ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . The Prisons ( West Indies ) Bill was reported . A . conversation took place relative to that partof tlie instructions of Lord Durham which relates to the Established Church of Canada ,, and to persons not in communion with the Established Church , It was intr oduced by tbe Bishop of Exeter , who contended that the old standing instructions had been departed from for the purpose of extending undue countenance to the Roman Catholics . Lord Glenelg replied , that it had been found necessary long since to depart in many instances from the old instructions .

      _ The Benefices and Pluralities Bill was read a third time and passed . Tho House adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock .

      Tuesday , July 24 . The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition complaining of the encouragement given to idolntry in India by the attendance uf civil and military servants of the Com pany at Hindoo al ) d iMilllOllintail ei . 'riimonits . In answer to oWrvutiuns uf the Right Rev . Prelate , ' Lord MELBOURNE-saia that it was the intention of the Government to issue such orders to the authorities of India on tliis'subjcct , as would , he hoped , satisfy the most scrupulous minds-The Prisons' Bill , the Parliamentary Burghs ( Scotland ) Bill , and several other bills , wt're brought from the Commons , and read a first time .

      Lord LONDONDERRY asked Lord Minto whether he had abandoned the interpretation which he had put on certain clauses ; of the Quadruple Treaty on a former evening , or whether he still adhered to it ? Lord MINTO protested against the Nob ]« Lord ' s right to put such a question to him , but answered it by declaring that his opinion remained the s-Anxe » 3 it was on the occasion alludeil to . Lord BROUGHAM observed , that those who acted on Lord Ml . N'TO ' S opinion would incur the peril of . puttinif in ieonardv

      the honour and peace of the country and the tranquillity of the world . What had fallen from Lord MlNTO gave him a most lavourable o _ phiion of that Noble Lord ' frankness , but did not impress him with any great idea of the Noble Lord ' s prudence . Lord ABERDEEN presented a petition from the holders of Spanish Indemnity Bonds , complaining that the interest ori those bonds had remained due for several years ; urging , that as this species of stock had been guaranteed b y a treaty to which Grea * Britain was a paTty , Her Majesty's Government was bound to see justice done to the petitioners ; and praying , therefore , the interference of the House in their behalf .

      Lord MELBOURNE admitted that the claims of these bondholder ;! ought to be pressed with all the weight and ftrength of the British Government ; but excused himself and his colleagues for having done nothing in their behalf , on the ground that the linancies of Spain were notoriously in a state of great embarrassment . The Royal Exchange Rebuilding Bill was read a second tinie , after a few observations in support of it from the Duke of Wellington . The International Copyright Bill was read a third time . anJ pasned .

The Speaker took the chair at twelve o ' clock , when several petitions were presented and a number of bills advanced a stage . Mr . LABOUCHERE stated that the reason why hehad withdrawn his Bill to compel the railway proprietors to carry the mails on certain terms was , that he was anxicus to try the effect of more lenient measures in the first instance ; and that with that view he had brought in a Bill to authorise the appointment of a certain number of arbitrators , who should consult , with the railway companies , and decide OH the term ^ by which the ma is should be carried

      Almost every honourable member who spoke commended the course adopted by the right honourable gentleman , and stated , that in the event of the railway proprietors being exorbitant in their demands or difficult to deal with , they would be prepared next session to support a bill with the most stringent provisions—with such provisions , indeed , as should compel the railroad companies to carry the mails on whatever terms Parliament thought fit to fix on Mr . LABOUCHERE movedj in compliance With a resolution of the . committee , that leave be given to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Combination of Workmen to communicate such parts of the evidence taken before them , and to such persons as he may deem necessary , which , after a few words from the Speaker and Sir R .

It had been known to commercial men for some days , that an expedition composed of several armed vessels , and having on board a body of S 00 or 600 men , commanded by CblonelSHERRIFF , had sailed from Bombay to the Persian Gulf . The only conceivable object of such aa expedition must have reference to Bnshire , the most important port belonging to Persia on the Persian Gulf , or to the-Island of Karak , jn the neighbourhood of that place . As bo tb bejonfjedtp Persia , it was obvious that an expedition sent with the view of takmgposaession-of any of those places most involve ua in hostilities with that Power .
