      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thcbsdat , Auc . 13 The Speaks * took the chair at twelve o ' clock .

      CORRESPONDING SOCIETY . Mr . Wakbubtos presented a petition from a person named Lemaitre , who had been a member of the Corresponding Society , and complaining that he had bean the victim of conspiracy . The petition , stated that in 1794 he was , when in Ms eighteenth year , living with his parents , his father being a watchmaker . That wh-le a member of the Corresponding Society he had anWriM to the fund for the defence -of Julm Home Tooke , Thelwall , and Hardy . These funds were partly paid into the hands of a person named Upton , who kept a small shop in Bell-yard , whom it was discovered had been prosecuted by the Phcnix Assurance Office for setting fire to his own louse . On finding him out . on themotinn of Lemaitre ,

      this man Upton was expelled from the society . Upton declared that he would be revenged , and soon found an opportunity for his resentment . This was in August , 1 TH , and in that very month he made a communication to the Privy Council accusing himself , with Lemaitre and another , of a . conspiracy to Shoot the Ein 5 with a poisoned arrow from a frame which he had himself seen that morning . On this charge he was apprehended ' and committed to Xewgate , where he was confined , for nine months , without any connexion or communication whatever with hi 3 friends . At the end of this period he was released on his ewn recognizances . Upton went over to France , Fiom nrbicL place he returnee ] on an exchange of prisoners of war , and on his arrival ajain

      renewed his charges . Upon these Mr . Lemaitre surrendered himself , and was brought to trial . On ths moraing of the trial the wife of Upton appeared hi widow ' s weeds , and took oath that her husband was dead . It was in Tain that a testimony was tendered that Upton had been seen alive at his own house that morning . The trial was interrupted , and Mr . Lemaitre was remandcj to prison where he remained for five months . lie was released at the end of that term , and abstained from any connexion with the Corresponding Society . Bat then came the time of

      the Irish rebellion , 1797 , and he was applied to to give his adheison to that movement through the Corresponding Society . In an evil moment he consented ^ o attend ihe rate ' tin ? of the Society , to give his ad-Tice acainst anv such connexion . He went there , havin « nothing whatever to do with public affairs since his last imprisonment . The Bow-street officers ftfcleJ in and all ihe party were apprehended lie was committed to Newgate , and , at the end of a twelvemonth , his health failing , he was removed to Heading gaol , where he passed two years more . He vras then released , and again after a few months apprehended and confined ui TotMli-aeids Pram , lin

      attorney had applied for a writ of habeas corpus , bu in vain , Lord Kenyon refusing it , as he said , on his own responsibility . After another twelvemonth Mr . Lemaitre jwas released , and thus had suffered , between 1818 and 1826 , an imprisonment of not less than six years , without trial . He had applied repeatedly to the several Whig Governments for redress , but had been constantly refnsed , till at last Mr . Canning promised to do something for him . and through the intercession of Lord Grey , Mr . Lemaitre was

      aDpomted a protector of slaves in Demerara . He set sail in 1829 , but his usual ill-luck attended him , for , shortly after leaving the coast , the vessel was wrecked , and all hiseffects werelost . Hehadhardly time to recover himself before the Government passed the Act for the abolition of slavery , and thus his salary of dESOO a year was entirely lost . This was a fair subject for consideration and compensation , and with a hope that now , as the injury had been suffered for more than fifty years , it would be properly entertained by the Government , he would move that the petition be printed with the votes .

      IRISH ARMS BILL . In reply to Mr . T . Duncombe , Lord J . Russell stated that it was the intention of Government to proceed with the Bill in Committee , pro forma on Monday , and to take the discussion on the following evening . The " Contagious Diseases Prevention Bill , " and the " Pauper Lunatics BH , " went through Committee . The ' Drainage of Lands Bill" wa 9 read & third time and passed , as was also the " Religious Opinions Relief Bill . " Several other bills were advanced a stage .

      TIIE BRITISH POSSESSIONS BILL . went into committee . In answer to Mr . Spooner , The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that all that this bill contemplated was the enabling of our colonies to repeal as many of the additional duties as were now imposed upon foreign goods as they pleased . After some discussion the clauses were agreed to , and the bill reported without amendment . It was ordered to be engrossed , and read a third time on Saturday .

      FLOGGING IN THE ARMY . Mr . RaTcouKT moved for a return of persons flogged in the army in Great Britain and Ireland , in the years 1 S 45 and 1 S 4 G , to the end of July ; specifying , 1 . The offence . 2 . The regiment , the place of station , the time . 3 . The sentence . 4 . The order for its execution . 5 . Whether the trials were open to the public , or only open to the regiment , or with closed doors . 6 . The number of lashes inflicted , and the day . 7 . How soon after punishment the man was able to return to his duty , and at what place he was then quartered . 8 . Whether death has followed within twelve months of the flogging , and the date of such death . Whether the punishment was inflicted , if in cavalry regiments , by the trumpeters or farriers ; if in infantry regiments , by privates or drummers , and with what instrument . 10 . Copies of thesurgeon's minutes of all such punishments , and any subsequent observations on their

      consequences . Mr . Fox Mauls moved an amendment , excluding some ot the returns moved for , but afterwards , upon the suggestion of Mr . Hume , included in it a return of the number of lashes inflicted . Lord J . Russell had no objection to give a return of the number of lashes inflicted ; but hoped that Mr . Escott would not call for " the regimeni , " if the house should be of opinion that it would lead to invidious and unjust comparisons . Mr . Wakley hoped that no part of this motion would be refused . He believed that its production

      would convince any reflecting man that the odious and disgusting practice of flogging ought to be mstantly abolished . He expressed his readiness to give Mr . F . Maule the name of a surgeon at Hounslow , who was prepared to say that no soldier , who had received 150 lashes , with full force , hadeverlivedayear afterwards . He contended that the specification of the regiments was imperiousl y required ; for if it should appear that in one regiment there was no flogging , and in another regiment there was much 9 o » ginjf , it would be the duty of the house to enquire into the cause of the difference .

      Mr . Warburion maintained , that as the house ought to know whether the average mortality among the men who had been flogged exceeded the average mortality in tke rest of the regiment , by that return we should learn whether this punishment extended to ' life and limb . " He hoped that in some shape Government wduld give the house information on this point . Mr . C . Bcllkr objected to give a return upon that point , as it would appear to furnish the country with the effects of flogging , when it did no such thing in reality . Mr . B . Escott replied to the objections , both of form and substance , which had been urged against Jus motion , and after a few words from Captain Polhill , who contended that it was necessary toretain flogginsj for the discipline of the army , the re-< urn , as amended by Mr . F . Maule , was ordered . The house then adjourned .

      IIOUSE OF LORDS , Fridat , Aug . U . On the motion of Earl Gret , the Australian Waste Lands Bill was read a second iime . Lord Brougham then made a statement respecting 4 motion of which he had given notice , touching the administration of the Poor Law , and proceeded to make a vigorous defence of the commissioners and the system , which last , he maintained , had only teen vitiated by the introduction of outdoor relief . The learned lord concluded by lamenting ^ that he could not confer on the country , this session , that great boon , the digest of the criminal code , but hoped to ' te able to introduce it next year . The Sugar Duties Bill passed through Committee . Several Bills were then forwarded a stage , and tho house adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Fbidat , August 14 . The Chaxckllor of the Exchequer moved that the order of the daj be read for going into a committee of supply . Mr . Waklbt having referred to the previous announcement of Sir G . Grey , that he had appointed a comumsion cons ' utins of the Earl ofChiehester , Lord Seymour , and Mr . B . Escott , to inquire into the abuses alleged to exist in Milbank-prison , asked whether there would be apy objection to furnish the house with the instructions given to the commissioners ? He also expressed a hope that Sir G . Grey would not object to placing Mr . Duncombe'sname on that commi > sion . Sir G . Gkkt expressed his readiness to lay the instructions on the table as soon as the commission had received Her Majesty ' s sanction . The commissioners would stand in the light of jurora or judges , but Mr . Duneomba in the light of an aeenaw .

      Mr . Ddscombe said that , had he been invited to belong to the commission , he should have felt it his duty to accept the office ; but after what had passed , nothing would induce him to form part of it . He protested asainst the dootrino that a member of Parliament presenting a petition should be considered as tho accuser of the parties of whom that petition complained . Still , if the truih could pot be asserted without his going before the commission he would appear before it , and see impartial justice done . Mr . Home then pressed upon Ministers the propriety of conceding , as soon as possible , representative governments to the colony oi Van Dieman's Land , and the other 10 colonies which had applied for them .

      BRITISH MUSEUM . Mr . IIume then moved a resolution to the effect that the British Museum , the National Gallery , and other instructive institutions of the kind , should be thrown open to the public between certain hours on The motion was opposed by Lord J . Russell , and warmly supported by Mr . Wakley , Mr . Williams , Dr . Bowring , and General Sir De Lacy Evans . Mr . Hume , however , withdrew it . The house then resolved itself into a Committee of supplv . The Speaker having resumed the chair : —

      BUCKINGHAM PALACE . On the motion for granting £ 20 , 000 for the ourpose of enlarging and improving Buckingham Palace considerable discussion'took place . Ihe Chancellor of the Exchequer justified the grant . Mr Protheroe , Mr . Bernal , and Mr . Hume contended that it was impossible to make Buckingham Palace a decent and proper »>* " »<* the Soverei « n of thi » country . Mr . Hume , alter itTunSht as unhealthy , objected to SaUCUon a vote for the further improvement of such a hnildin" and moved to reduce the grant to ± j , UW , SS % ' necessary to repair the J «» -H £ 5 £ recent storm . At the same time unexpressed ins readSto build on another site a f ^ gSti omfortable and becommg residence for her Majesty , if Buckingham rah . ee d d ™* [?™^* T ™ nem ] - comouation . On a division , Mr . Humes ajoenu meat was negatived by a majority of oo over six

      " wi other granfa were Iben agreed to . The house resumed , and the report was ordered 10 De read to-morrow . Several bilb were then advanced a stage . BUNGLING LEGISLATION-ERRO R IN TIIE

      CO 11 N BILL . Mr . Vimiers moved for a committee of the house on the law relating to the dutv on rye , peas , and beans , with the view of rectifying an error in the new Corn Bill , by which these inferior grains are subject to a higher duty than wheat . Lord George Bbntisck having opprsed the motion , the Chancellor of the Exchequer recommended that it should be withdrawn ; as it was now too late to entertain it in the face of the noble lord ' s opposition . Mr . Vjluehs ultimately withdrew his motion . The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in a Bill to amend an Act of thi 3 session , for authorising a luau irom the Consolidated Fund to the New Zealand Company . TUX . Bill * as read a first time .

      Untitled Article

      Mr . Hawks brought in a Bill to make better provision for the government of New Zealand . The Bill was intended to confer the privilege of selfgovernment in the colony . Mr . Goulburn opposed the Bui , on the ground that it was too late to discuss so important a ques-Th . 9 Bill was ultimately read a first time , and ordered to be read a second t ' m * on Monday next . The House then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Saturday , Aug . 15 . - The house raefc at twelve o ' clock . After a considerable amount of mere routine business had been transacted , the order of the day was read for the third reading of the British Possessions Bill . On the motion that the bill be read a third time _

      , The Chancellor of the Exchkqdir said that he intended to bring up a clause which would introduce such amendments into the bill as would obviate tho objections of Mr . Golbourn , and as would prevent the colonial legislatures from levying unfair discriminating duties on British produfce and manufactures . Lord G . Bkntinck rose to move that the bill be read a third time that day three months . The effect of the bill would be to take away the monopoly that , up to the present time , the manufacturers and producers of Great Britain had enjoyed in the British colonies . The effect of the recent free-trade measures had not been such as to afford the house much encouragement to proceed in the same course . The passing of the Corn Bill , and the prospect of the

      passing of the Sugar Bill , had not appeared to have secured the prosperity of the manufacturers , as they were told . At Oldham , Stockport , Ashton , Dunkinfield , and in some places in Yorkshire , the master manufacturers had alreadj given notice to their workmen of a reduction of five per cent , in their wages , telling them that aa food was cheaper , they could afford to work for lower wages . The effect of the recent free-trade measures upon Manchester was described in a circular by Messrs . Gibson and Ord , who stated that there had never been 30 dull a month as that which had just passed . And this was the state of things notwithstanding the fine _ harvest throughout the country . It was not at all improbable that the farmers , seeing the price of wheat

      rapidly falling to 40 s .-a quarter , would ioroear to purchase any manufactures until they saw whether they could afford to pay for them—( Hear , hear . ) From Canada the accounts were , that all kinds of produce , but particularly floHr and timber , had fallen in value , and he knew that a house had recalled an order for £ 100 , 000 worth of dry goods to be sent to the Canadas , in consequence of the passing of the recent measures . Such was the consequence of their free-trade measures in Canada . Under these circumstances , the manufacturers could ill uff jrd to lose the monopoly of the colonial market which they now enjoyed , and the house ousjht to pause before they read a third time a bill so important , and introduced too , at so late a period of the session . The bill was onlv printed on the 11 th of August , and the house was now asked on the 15 th to read it a third time , and pass it . Afc oreseHt half the house were gone to

      the moors ( a laugh , ) and another fourth were gone to the continent . Only about 50 or 60 members remained to legislate on a bill of too much importance to pass in such a house . The noble lord at the head of the Government once said , and well said , that this country could not bear to have a revolution once a year . At present , however , they had a revolution once a week . ( A laugh . ) The consequence of passing this bill would ultimately be to abolish the navigation laws . ( Hear , hear , from Mr . Bright . ) Let the shipping interest know that the lion , member for Durham cheered that statement , and that it was the intention of the manufacturers of England to do away with the navigation laws . lie considered that he should be wanting in his duty to all the great interests concerned if he forebore to oppose ^ the bill , and he accordingly moved that it be read a third time that day three months . Mr . Hknlbt seconded the motion .

      Lord J . Russkh said his noble friend had told the house that half the members had gone to the moors , and he had certainly been in hopes that his noble friend had been among that party . ( Much laughter . ) If his noble friend were enjoying himself in shooting at this time of the year he should be better pleased , but as his noble friend had relumed to the house he should be obliged to repeat to him the general principles on which the measure rested . His lordship then contended that we ought not to expose the colonies to the disadvantages , when we took frsm them

      all the advantages of protection , If the manufacturing and agricultural part of the population had a right to consume the cheapest sugar they could get , the colonies were also entitled to have their provisions and manufactures at as cheap » rate as thej could be obtained . lie declined , upon this occasion , to follow his noble friend into that discussion , on the policy of the navigation laws , into which he had so recklessly entered . Mr . Spoonbb declared his intention of voting in favour of the amendment .

      Mr . Bricm said that Lord G . Bentinck having been absent for some tune from the house , it wa 3 not impossible that he had been down in the manufacturing districts , and he had there picked up the information with which he had to-day favoured the house . He ( Mr . Brioht ) fancied , however ; if the real secret were known how the noble lord had obtained his information , it would be found that he had derived it from the columns of the Standard newspaper . The noble lord had stated , that in some parts of Lancashire , Cheshire , and Yorkshire , —at Oldham , Stockport , Dukintield . and other places , wages were falling : and that the reason given by the masters for a reduction was . that there had been a fall in price of food . He ( Mr . Bright ) had some

      acquaintance with the district to which the noble lord had referred , and he could state his belief that there was no manufacturer within twenty mile * of Manchester so lamentably ignorant on the subject as to make such a statement to bis workmen . He ( Mr . Bright ) had seen a paragraph in the newspapers on this subject . He believed the statement to be totally false ; and he had never been able to discover any other foundation for it than that which was frequently the foundation of newspaper paragraphsthe very lively imagination of the editors . lle _ believed that at no time within the memory of the oldest man in the district to which he had referred had the population ever been more fully employed or enjoyed greater physical comforts , than at this moment . The price of food was now low , and there was an abundant demand for labour . It was true that the state of trade was not so satisfactory as it

      might be . The noble lord seemed to natter himself that a feeling of regret was entertained throughout the country at the repeal of the corn laws . He ( Mr . Bright ) believed , on the contrary , that there was an almost unanimous feeling of acquiescence in the principles winch had been adopted by il » e late and by the present Government . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Bright ) had cheered the noble lord during hi * reference to the navigation laws , because he believei the principle whieh had been carried out with regard to corn and sugar must eventually be applied to shipping . ( Hear , hear . ) After some further discussion , in which Mr . Bkr-» 4 L , Mr . B . h ' scoir , and Mr . Brothektonsupported , and Mr . Hknlet , Sir II . Douglas , Mr . M . Gorb , and Mr . Nkwdeoate opposed the bill , the house divided , when there appeared , _ For the amendment ...... ° Against it 47

      Majority against it ... 39 1 iThs bill was then read a third time and passed . The house then disposed of the other orders of the day and adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosdat , August 17 The house met at o o ' clock . Lord Redesoalk complained of the inefficient way in which the commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the college at Maynooth had performed their duty , and recommended that steps should be taken to obtain a ihore accurate report . The Marquis of Lansdowxk promised that every attention should be paid to the college : and the mattei dropped . The Sugar Duties Bill and several other bills were then read a third time and passed ; after which the house adjourned . IIOUSE OF COMMONS , . Moxdat , August 17 . The SrsAKEittook the chair at 12 o ' clock .

      In consequence of a request made to him by Sir G . GttKY , Mr . Hume agreed not to press , to-morrow , his resolutions respecting the conduct of the Poor Law Commissioners . He stated , however , that ho would bring them forward on this day week , as his eyes were now open to the mal-adininistration of the 1 ' OOr Law , of which he had been a siirporlerfrom the first moment of its introduction almost down to the present time . Sir J . Hobiiouse , in reply to a question from Mr . Warburton denied that there was any truth in abatement contained in a newspaper called the Herald of Reace , that previously to the march on Sobraon , the 80 th regiment had been employed in maiming and shooting all the prisoners taken from thciSikhs the previous battles . On the contrary , tbe surgeons oi the British army had been employed in takiti ? care of the wounded Sikhs to the « : ener ; il astonishment ot an en ? my who had never before teen "the practice of such JiUHianity .

      Lord J . Russell then announced that it was the intention of Her Majesty ' s Ministers to drop the bill for the renewal of the Arms Act . On consulting the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , he found that liis noble friend was of opinion that it would be far better to dispense with the bill altogether than to continue it divested of the branding and registration clauses , to which so many gentlemen had objected . lis noble friend had likewise declared his readiness undertake the Government of Iveland without the continuance of those clauses . Ho ( Lord John lussull ) had great satisfaction in informing the > onse that there had been no impediment to the administration of justice on th » present circuits in reland , and that juries appeared to have been fuDv done their duty wherever the evidence was su&e )< v ,

      ! nn thl ff verdlct of 8 uilt y- During the last month , arn vp off encts « Ported «> y ' the constabulary as ftZnwTJ * ereMy ^ creased . If , however , i ! t It miart ™* eV turn out , hereafter , that nntor ^^ i 100 ! 381 ^ for demanding extraordinary £° Ttw w de - * ? , preserve lifc and Pr 0 Perty in Ireland Her Majesty ' a Government would not shrink from the duty winch would then be incumbent upon them . Ihe noble lord concluded by moving the order of the day for going into committee upon the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill , Mr . Escott" and Mr . Hums expressed their approbation of . the conduct of Government in taking this important subject into their candid re-consideration . A conversation then took place on the question of placing the Wellington statue oi > the top of the triumphal arch . From what then transpired , it appears

      that the statue is to be placed on tlie top of that arch for three weeks ; and that if in that time it is not approved of by the Government , it is to be taken down again at the expense of the erectors . Several members expressed their dissatisfaction at this arrangement . After several questions had been put by Dr . Bowaiso on the sulyect of flogging in tho army . Lord J . Russsll declared that the Duke of Wellington did not intend to evade any declaration which he had made either to that houae or to the other bouse of Parliament . It was the desire and intention of Government to diminish the frequency of this punishment as much as possible with the view of ultimately sustaining the discipline of the army by other and better means . *

      Mr . C . Buller , Mr . Williams , Captain Berkeley , and Mr . Wakley , each delivered their sentiments on the subject ; and the latter gentleman defended himself against the charges prefe-red againat his conduct ai coroner on the inquest . The house then went into committee on the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill . Lord Johk Russell took a review of the whole question of Irish distress and the failure of the potato crop . He recapitulated the measures adopted by the late Government—the purchase of Indian corn , the donations , the public works executed , the advances , &c , all of which amounted to £ 852 . 481 , of which £ 357 , 630 was r . ot to be repaid , and £ 194 , 851 to be repaid . " These measures he considered as prudent , and well calculated to effect their object under the

      then existing emergency , though he regarded the principle of the Government buying food 1 ' the people , and of advances and grants for public works , to be liable to grave objection . Lord John proceeded to quote a large number of letters from ail parts of Ireland to estahlisli that the potato crop disease this year was even more alarming than last . It had , therefore , become the duty of the Government to consider in what manner they should propose to Parliament to make provi s ion for some employment fur the labouring classes of Ireland , and at the same time leave , as he trusted Parliament would le .-ive , such a discretion in the hands of the Government as any emergency mitjht render necessary in their opinion . It had appeared to the Government that , while there should be public works , and those public works should

      be undertaken under due control , that they should not defray the cost of those wnrka from any parliamentary grant , but that they should be defrayed from a loan to be repaid by the counties . He proposed , therefore , to introduce a bill to authorise the Lord Lieutenant to summon a barony session , or a county session for works of relief , the choice of such works us would afford the necessary employment to be left to the session , and the work < j to be superintended by the Board of Works—advances to ho made from the Treasury to be repaid in ten years , at 3 $ per cent , interest . In very poor districts , the works would be undertaken by tile Government ., but then they should be works of public utility , and a grant of £ 50 , 000 would be proposed for that purpose . He did not propose either to interfere with the

      general supply of food by merchants , nor the wholesale or retail trade , which must have suffered derangement , by the operation consequent on the introduction of Indian corn . With reference to the Relief Committee , tbe Government would take care to avoid those errors into which the late Government had fallen , and guided by the experience they had received , he hoped to be able to meet effectively the serious distress of the country , and he hoped to avoid those evils which had arisen from members of tho Relief Committee giving tickets to persons who did not require such relief . The offic-er . i to be employed would be the commissariat officers , to be paid bv the Government , and any others whom it might be found necessary to employ would be also paid by the Government . Having these objects in view , he

      proposed first , tiiat a sum should be voted to defray the expenses already incurred ; then a vote for direct advances by Exchequer bills for the purposes stated in the bill , and then the vote tor the districts which might speedily require it . He considered the present as a special case requiring the intervention of Parliament , and rendering it imperative on the Government to take extraordinary measures for the relief of the people , lie trusted th . it the eours ^ which he was proposing would convince Ihe poorest ! among the Irish people that the houae was not insensible to the claims which they had upon it as the Parliament of the United Kingdom . He assured the committee ,

      that the late Ministry had shown a very laudable anxiety to meet this evil , —that tlie remedies which they applied had been suited to the occasion , —that the present Gaveiminent was imitating the spirit in which they hail acted , ami was endeavouring to t' > kc advantage of their experience to correct errors which were inevitable , in consequence of unforeseen difficulties . The noble lord concluded by moving that a grant of £ 175 , 000 be voted to defray tho expenses lately incurred , and to make further advances out of the Exchequer ; and £ 50 , 000 for the promotion of public works in Ireland , for the benefit of very poor district ? .

      Mr . DitLO . v Browmb thought tlie speech and proposal of the noble lord could not fail to produce throughout Ireland , continence in his

      Government . Mr . Williams considered the government to be doing nothing more than its duty in providing against the threatened famine in Ireland . lie was convinced that if a proper system of Foot Laws were introduced into Ireland , the landlords would then discover means to obtain employment for the poor . Mr . Laboucheru considered any incidental discussion on the Poor Laws quite useless at that moment . He eulogised the m ^ sures of the late , and defended the proposition of the present government . The late

      government had taken extraordinary measures to introduce a supply of Indian corn into Ireland ; but now the corn trade was perfectly open , and nothing could be more fatal to the interests of the country than that government should undertake the trade of the corn merchant . He hoped that the bill , whivh in accordance with the intentions of Lord J Russell it would be his duty to lay on the table of the house , would prevent the Irish people from being left in a stiit- * of destitution , while it would provide efficient checks to control the administration of measure- for their relief .

      The Earl of Lincoln denied that the measures ot the late government had demoralised the habits ot the labouring population of Ireland , and observed that it ther had , the measures of the present government wlmh were founded upon them , would lay it npen to the same imputation . He believed , however , that considerable benefit had been derived from the measures of the lato administration , and that great moral a dvantage would evontually accrue from them to tlie labiurin ? population . He hoped that the people of Ireland would see that no government in England would allow thorn to perish from destitution . He fully approved of the intentions of her Majesty ' s government on this subject . Mr . Lauouchkre expressed his regret that Lord Lincoln should suppose that ho was disposed to underrate the manner in which the late "overnment , in circumstances of unexampled difficulty , had performed Its duty .

      After a discussion , in which Sir R . Ferguson , Mr . Escott , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Mr . Henley , Sir D . Norveys , Mr . Hume , Mr . Monkton Miles , and Mr . M , Gore , joined . Tlie resolutions were then agreed to . The house then resumed , and the report was ordered to be received oh Tuesday . On the order of the day for going into committee of supply , Lord G . Bexti . yck railed the attention of the House to the state of the carrying trade with the Spanish colmiies . The grievances of which tde merchants of' Liverpool complained were of twelve years' standing ; and although they had made repeated remonstrance , no redress had been obtained or them .

      the policy of retaliation , which obtained for them the benefits they desired . "We , on the contrary , had tried conciliation and liberality , and we found no generosity in return . ., n jl Mr . M . Gibson admitted the injury that had been done to British shipping , but hoped no retaliating policy would be adopted by the Government . Lord Palmkrston said we had no reciprocity treaty * ith Spain , and therefore we could uot demand that British vessels should be placed on the footing of Spanish vessels in Spanish ports . But we had treaties with Spain thai entitled us to the

      footing of the most favoured nations , and , therefore , if Spain had yielded-svnything to America , we should have a right to require an equal concession , He jraa not , honerer , aufficiciiWr informed on the subject ; but to any retaliating policy lie was decidedly opposed . Mr . D'Israeli quoted a return , from which it appeared that onthe 18 th of July last , there were 95 ships loading in the port of Havannah , 42 bein <; Spanish , 27 American , and only six British . It was manifest that the retaliating policy of America hnd procured the desired result , whilst the conciliating policy of England for the last twelve years had driven us out of the trade .

      After a few words from Mr . Home , the subject dropped .

      ; POLAND . Mr . IIumr moved for any correspondence between the Government oi her Majesty and the Government of Cracow . Russia . Prussia , and Austria , relative to the appointment of a British a » ent at Cracow , since the declaration made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the House of Commons , in the year 1836 , of his intention of sending a consul to reside at Cracow . He said that the events , to which lie was about to draw the attention of the house , had occurred on a spot where we were no * , only interested in their progress , but entitled to know their cause , and bound to interfere to prevent their repetition . — ( Hear , hear . ) It became a question for their consideration whether , when they saw a weak state

      invaded by more powerful neighbours , and its liberties destroyed , there ought not to be some interference on tlie part of this country . —( Hear , hear . ) In 1330 they had lost the opportunity of joining with France to demand of Russia the restoration of the rights and liberties of Poland . Had Earl ( irey uaed . the language in 1830 which he employed in 1793 Poland would now be again a nation . But he had not done so ; and although there could belittle doubt that Poland would yet regain her freedom , still he feared that before that epoch much time would elapse . The honour of England was sullied by allowing the liberties of a small power like Cracow to be thus taken away . When the noble lord was asked why government had not sent out a consul to Cracow , he replied

      that Government hud given up the intention . He thought they were entitled to an answer from the noble lord , exculpatory of tbeconductof the British G"vernment . —( Hear , hear . ) They ouylitnot to permit those treaties to remain in a state which might at any future period embroil them with other powers . He found by the general treaty of Vienna thac there were two articles , of which one related to the Poles , and the other to the Government of Cracow . By the first it was stipulated that the Poles , subjects of Austria , Russia , and Prussia should obtain a free representative cons ; ititutiim such as each Government should think proper and expedient to grant them . That clause had never been fulfilled , and the English Government had never had

      the courage to demand the cause . To that pusillanimity on the part of this country were attributable most of the evils that had befallen Poland . —( Hear , hear . ) By the second of the articles he had mentisno-d the existence of Cracow , as an independent neutral state , was guaranteed by Austria , Russia , and 1 ' russia , under the protection of those powers . By a clause of that treaty it was laid down that no aimed force was to be introduced into Cracow under any pretence whatever . 'To that treaty the British Ambassador had affixed } ih signature , in token that England was a party to it . And yet every article of that treaty had been violated , while England quietly permitted those Governments to break tlie pledges

      that they had solemnly taken in the face ot the world . It was their duty to remonstrate ; if they had not done so they had betrayed their trust , but if they had , he would like to know what method they fiad employed to enforce respect for those remonstrances . —( Hear , hear , hear . ) After reviewing the recent events in Cracow and Galliciu , which must ho now familiar to the public , Mr . Hume proceeded to > ay that there was no other instance in the history or ' Europe where the Government had instigated the populace to murder the classes above them , and where no steps had been taken by the Government to brin « the authors of these outrages to punishment . He concluded by moving for the correspondence specified . be

      ^ Lord PALMitRSTojc said that nothing could more painful so a right-minded individual , than discussiona turning on the subject of Poland j bscauae they related to a great and a noble people , who in former times held a pre-eminent position amongst the states of Europe , and who by the occurrence of events of the greatest magnitude at a remote > oriod wore do . prived of their nationality , and ab-orbtd by the neighbouring territories . But the events to which those recollections applied were now matters of history ; and whatever might be the napimtitfns of those whose dreams led them fondly to oulieve ( hat the time would some when the fonnvr political condition of Poland would be restored , tl > ey , sitting in that House , and knowing what were the treaties and

      engagements by which the powers of Europe were bound , and the present political distribution of hurope regulated , could not go farther back than to the treaty of Vienna . To that extent , ho > rever , they ouglit to go , and upon that treaty they had a right to take their stand . There could be no doubt that the ^ treaiy of Vicuna had been violated . —( Hear , henr . ) The treaty waa explicit in its language , and provided tint the republic of Cracow was to be nwititained as a free and independent state . Not only were Austria , Rus-ia , and Prussia parties to that treaty—Great Britain , France , and other kingdoms also were parties to It . In relation » o those events , he would givt ! the three powers credit for not having intentionally departed from thn engagements they

      had entered into by executing the treaty of Vienna . But he maintained , without doubt , that when the emergencies should have ceased which had been alleged as the ground of these proceedings , it was the duty of the three powers to replace Cr ; icnw , on that footing of complete independence to which it was entitled by the treaty of Vienna . He also hoped that smch was the intention of the three powers , and he had no knowledge to the contrary . It was to the interest of those powers that ; they should lvgard the treaty of Vienna as a whole ; for they were sagacious enough to know that if the treaty were not good on the Vistula it might be bad on the Rhine or on the l > o . ( Hear , hear . ) His Honourable Friend , he was afraid , bail rather understated than exaggerated tlie

      hideous scenes he had described as having taken place in those provinces ; and there ho did net speak from official information , but from the ordinary source of intelligence ; and fie must aay , that scenes there described were without . example in any age ; certainly not in the history of modern Europe . His Uon . Friend , he was sure , would excuse him for not acceding more amply to the terms of his motion . — ( Hear , hear ) . He thought ,-however , that the papers he was prepared to give him would afford sufficient s : itkf : iotion on the facts out of which his motion had arisen ; and . * o far as a representation on the part ¦>! tlie British Government might go , he could assure him that nothing should be wanting . Dr . Bowbiso said that the speech of the noble lord

      could not fail to mrtte a deep impression upon the minds of the peonle of this country . He was » latl . to find , that me tieatyof Vienna li .-id been violated by those who drew it up , and who hail gained somuuli by it" Without meaning tho slightest Mame ti ; attach to the noble lord , he thought the residence of a British representative at Cracow a most important arrangement , and if it had been made before , be believed thut these events would not have oeeuired . — ( Hear . )—The speech of the noble lord , he repeated , had given him great satisfaction ; but if life spared him till tue next session of Parliament , it was bis purpose then to show that the aspect ot' Poland > vquired the iuterferance rl'this Government , and the concurrent aid of every wie who bated tyranny and adored independence .

Pollnck ^ to the ohce Of chiof justice of Bombay . A t that time , Sir U Roper , the chi . { justice of Bombay , hud not tendered his iwsighatioi , to tl . e government . Sir II . Roper was in the sevt-nth year of the performance of his duties as cliii-f justice of Bombay . Five years' service entitled him to a retiring penaion of £ 700 a year ; seven years' service to ai retiring pension of £ 1 , 000 a year . Sir II Roper ' s period of seven years ' service would not expire till the

      2 nd of next November ; and yet to perpetrate a job , the Late President of tbe Board of Control liad superseded Sir II . Roper , an id Jiupointed Mr . J ) . Pollock as chief justice in his stead . By the law of the / and , as soon as Mr Pollock was appointed , the authority of Sir II . R oper as chief justice ceased ; and the result w .- « , that ererr trial whivh had since taken place before Sir H . Roper , became illegal , and every criminal convicted and hanged , in the interval , was a murdered man . To remei y this ilieuaiitv , a bill , under thft title of the IWnt Coniniffnion Bill , " had passed the House of Lords , and would , in all probability , bo introduced into that house that evening , lue abject of this job had been to make a vacancy in the Commias-. oners of Insolvency , and thereby to reward the private secretary ot Lord Lyndhurst . He had nothing to say aeaiiist the character of Mr . D . bollock , but he \ vaa 65 years nf a « e Passhi" over the appointment of Mr . C . riiillius as suewasm- t . n

      i \ lr . D Pollock an appointment , however , which wa 3 attnbutable to tlie friendship of an ex-Chancellor , who had recently defended in another place all the tergiversation of the late sovernmenv , ] k jmi , „„ j ^ sitanon in denouncing , aa a gross job , the appoint , ment of Mr . Perry as the svtcte .-sor of Mr . C . Phillips , lie called on the partisan * nf the late "nyernnient to show him any precedent for so nefarious a job ; The govern nt was actually defunct when it uiauetliw apt ointment ; and he therefore felt himself entitled to call for investigation into tlie manner in which this patronage of the i-hief justiceship had been disposed of . After one of his Viauaj bitter attacks on the Jate . idminiscration , he died upon Sir J . Ilubhouse to lay before the house all tlie

      information winch he could produce with respect to mis appointment . Sir J . Hobiiouse stated the facts of the ease , and left the house to come to its own decision upon tiieiu In February W , SirlJ . RopRn wrote to Lm-d Ripon , expressing his wish to retire from tbe chief justice * - ship of Iiomb . iv , not innneulntfly , but on tlm 2 dot November next , when he would be entitied to a retiring pension of £ 1 . 000 a-ye » r for seven years ' service . On the 4 th ot May , Lord Ripon . having taken Her Mnjeaty ' a pleasure on the subject , accepted the resignation of Sir II . Roper on the t . rms on which ithad been tendered . On the lGth of June Lord Ripon requested Mr . Gladstone , the Colonial Secretary , to make out a patent for the appointment o £ Mr . D . Pollock as successor to Sir D . Roper . Mr . Gladstone , on enquiring into the matterinformed

      , Lord Uipon that ic was illegal to appoint a Judge in prospectu . Lord Ripon thereupon ordeivd letters patent to be made out , appointing Mr . D . Pollock forthwith chief justice of liombay . ThN was nccordhigly done on the l * t of Jul y , arid in the piitem appointing Mr . D , Ptiilock Clicie was a clause annulling ihe appointment of Sir II . Roper . As soon as he ( Sir J . Hobiiouse ) saw that clause he consulted the Attorney-General upon it , and the Attorney-General , after examining into it , informed Urn tli . it tl . ere was no remedy except uu act of Parliament , fo legalize all that might take place in die interval between Mr . D . Pollock ' s appointment and tlie time of taking his seat asichiefjustice at Bombay , a » d « r . act of Parliament find in consequence been drawn up and introduced into the House of Lords by the present Lord Chancellor .

      Sir J . W . Hogg said , fliat before the inrroducticR of steam it was tlie invariable rule tlwt all judges in India should give a year ' s notice of their intention to resign , in order that a new iudge win-lit arrive before the departure of the retiiirs ; one . Lord Ripon had written to the Secretary of tbe Colonies , desiring that a pateiit should be made out , constituting Mr . Pollock chief justice from the 2 d of November nexf . Sir J , lluldioufe had said that this could not legally be done ; but lie wished lo know why not . The Sate Sir W . Foilett , and the law advisers of the East India Company , said that it could be done ; and , if they were wrani :, the error Itfid existed for at least a century- Iks then rca ^ l nn opinion , signed by-Sir VV . Follttt , the present Lord Chief Ban-n , and the late Mr , Serjeant Spaniue , whieli justified the course recently taken liy Lord Ripon with respect to the appointment of Mr . D . Pollock as chief justice of Bombay .

      The Atiorsky-Gesebal corrGcffd Sir J . W . Hogg ad to what he had said respecting the practice of former times . lie had himself come to the opinion which Sir J . Hobiiouse had communicated to the hoii ^ e , after nwtun ? delibenitimi , and he was happy to say that Iio fiad been fortifiod iu it by tde concurrent opinion of the present Lord Chief Baron , the present Lord Chancellor , the late Lord Chancellor , and the late Attoniey-Geiieral . It was laid down in all out old law-books and especially in Commi ' s Diye ? t , that a judicial oSitm would not be

      held m reversion . The objoct of tiie bill intioriuced into the other house was to cure alto-. eiiier the inwnvenifiice which had been felt in tuisca « e . and to make all litters patent in future take effect upon the arrival of the new judge in India . Mr . S . Wortlsy agreed with the Attorney General tliac a judicial office could not be avautect in re version , but was not sure tlwt an appointment to a judicial office was illegal , he charged Lord G . Bentinck with taking the house by surprise , and with wantonly exposiasr the character of the late

      Government ; . Mr . Hume ? aid he could not help observing that the whole case brought before the house by the noble lord , the member for Lynn , developed uroceedidgs of n most ' singular character . On locking over tho papers he held in his ham , . he found there asserted a downright lie . It might be designated art error , but he w-.. u ! d demonstrate it to be what he called ic—a lie . It was asserted that Sir IleRry Roper had resigned his office at a certain term , stated , but he had not resigned his ofSce , nor was he ti > resign for some | time subsequentiy to the period stated ; and was not , that , he would ask . a downright falsehood ? The noble lord had done the State good service by bringing forward this gross job , or something very like one . After a few wmyila from Mr . Bkrsm ,,

      Mr . Ctoclburs complained of tho course taken by Lord G . Bentinek , in attributing-, without notice , to a man as able as himself , nefarious corruption and flagitious profligacy .. Mr . Henlky enforced the same views of tlii « question which had been already taken by Lord G . Bgntinek . Lord Lincoln was of opinion that this ease had been moat unfairl y represented , and censisrnl Lord G . Ikniinek in bringing it forward so unexpectedly , when fivory member of the late administration affected by it was out of town , and u »» b ! e to bo present either to defend himself or histract others to do 30 .

      Mr . Di-iRAKU , after defending Lord G . Bentinek from the censures of tbe lust speaker , proceeded to condemn the appointment of Mr . D . PuMu-k as an Appointment made by a government in crtrtmis . lie also denounced it as a very improper distribution of patronage by Lord Ripon . " The answers which had been given to the statemant of Lord G . Bentinek confirmed it in every particular . If an investigation were made into it , he believed that tlis ; conduct of Lord Lyndhum would conic pure from the ordeal ; but it wa * by iw m * i \ m clesiv that other individual * hud not cimmmined themselves by actions which required Pariiiiuentary in-Y * stigatio » , and whiuh would her <> afu > r 1 m vUitud by public reprobation , lie then retorted 'in the Ministerial party generally , and on Mr .
