" Caxtght nr his ows Trap . —The Portland Argut relates an amnsing case , in which a beggar in that city received what he asked for , but Lot what he wished for : — A few days ago , a full -grown ablebodied man presented himself at the door of one of our citizen-, and solicited the laiy of the house to

      £ ive him two cents . She remarked that she h * d none , and inqaired what he wanted of them . ' To buy a doss of castor oil , inarm , ( was the reply ) for 1 am dreadful sick / Tke lady had no cents , but she had plenty of oil ; and she prepared him a stiff dose . He tried hard to get excused froa taking it : but she was firm , he was a sick man , and it must go down . The loafer foand he was caught in bia own trap : and where he meant to have a glass of liquor , he got a dose of physic ; bat , m&kiug a virtue of necessity , and with sundry wry faces , he gulped it down and cleared . He'll not call at that bouse again , we dare say . "

      The Esglish are an odd race ; the ? affect a jealousy of pining with their notes ou frivolous pretences , and yet it is common with then to exchange them by millions for foreign Sovereign * . It was understood in the House the other Evening , in the discussion on the proper kind of religious teaching to be famished to " the children of the State , " that by that phrase was to ba understood those who were got by the public at large , and fed afterwards at the public expence . The necessity of famishing them rrith strict religious principles , r ca- ; depoastrated from the necessity of their moral ; being better than those of tEeir progenitors . The conclusion is , we believe , quite legitimate , though many of the objects of it are otherwise .

      It is said that among other alterations in the Poor Laws , it is intended to allow the paupers occasional relaxation . There is at present in the workhouses a great deal of relaxation—of the bowels , which is attributable to the water grnel with which the poor are inundated . It IS to be hoped that the promised relaxation will be of a different character . Evebybodt kxows that kings . aad princes possess divine attributes , and can do what ordinary men caDnot . A Royal infant mnst then , as a matter of course , be an extraordinary child . It is the superier mental , moral , and physical organization of the Princess Royal that leads to the employment of two wet-nnrse 3 in the royal nursery . Lo insure a fine calf the milk of two cows is sometimes necessary !

James ' s Park have been much perplexed with the number of the " great unwashed" who claim admittance to the inclosures of the Park , " as well as any other gentlemen . " They will soon be taught their mistake . The " Woods and Forests" are drawing up a series of regulations from which they will learn tint none but beggars of high degree will be allowed the range of the inclosure . It will be of no use for the shoele » 3 and shirtless to apply after they are promulgated .

" " Week mex are ABorr to commit or to sanetioi the commission of Eonie injustice , it is not at all un common for them to express pity for the object o : that or some parallel proceeding , and to feel them selves at the time quite virtuous and moral , and im mensely superior to those who express no pity at all This 13 a kind of upholding of faith above works * nd is very comfortable . —Sxcholas Nickleby .

      MEETING AT BATH , FOB THE F OBMATION OP A PROTESTANT OPERATIY £ ASSOCIATION . A meeting took place at the Assemb' iy Rooms , Bath , on Tuesday evening week , for the foi . tnatlon of a Protestant Operative Association . Two thousand persona were present It was announced that James Lord , Esq ., of the Inner Temple , wonld atter ^ u a Deputation from the London Protestant Asae « ffttk »; but , at the hour appointed , that gentleman nc 4 making his appearance , Mt B . Philp roue and raid that they W 6 M met to form a Bath Operative Asso cUtioo . ( Here Mr . P . was interrupted by several gen aemen who -waned in upon the platform , and cried or ^ •« gjj down , Sir , you have no right to speak ,- — " Wl iat are you doing , Sir ?" &c &c ) Mr . Philp said he t nw about to propose a Chairman , whan he was tolr L by the Rev . Mr- Tottenham , that a Chairman had be * jn appointed . Mr . Philp , however , persisted in his t aotion , and proposed an operative to the chair , Mj i Thomas Bolwell , whkii -was carried by an immense majority .

      Mr . Alderman CRisr , a / nidst tomnltaons cheering , rose , and Etated that th < j meeting had , by an overwhelming majority , chos < ^ a , chairman . That it h&d waited more than twenty minutes after the time fixed , and that no chairman v is announced in the bills convening the meeting ; V aeie could be ho question but it was the d « ty of the . few individuals on the platform to jieJd to the o \ ersrhelming Majority who bad elected tbe chairman , an < , as tke cards of admission required , •* be amenr Ale to the chair . " < Here there was tunraltnous inteijuption from the parties « q the platform , -who denied Mr . G ' s right to speak , when he , Mr . Crisp , requested those in the meeting who -were wil&ng to hear him , to hold up their hands , upon ¦ which atorest ot nands appeared , and , on the contrary ,

      about & dczsn , exclusive of these on the platform . ) Mi . c . Sien proceeded . Are you now satisfied of my right i » speak ? Will the paltry few on tbe platform dare bi * defiance to the will of the vast assembly before them ? The gentlemen on the platform deny that a majority of the meeting are in favour of Mr . Bolwell presi < £ ng ever them . I now request all those who desire Mr . Bolwell to take tbe » hair to hold up their hands . ( Here , again , a multitude of bands appeared , thus electing Mr . Bolwell , a second time , by an overwhelming majority , to preside . ) Mr . C . hoped the meeting would not be deluded and humbugged by such proceedings . ( Here an attempt was made to seise Mr . Boiwell ; and he was held by the throat , it is said , by a clergyman , and thrust violently bick . )

      Mr . Bolwell , having regained bis self-possession , « aid , " Reverend Gentlemen , if you do not behave yourselves , and allow the business of the meeting to proceed , I must have you all taken eut . " Mr . Stowell hero cilled , once more , for the sense of the meeting respecting the Chairman . Upon Mr . Bolw-ell ' s name being put , and that of Mr . Wilson , the former was again elected by , if possible , a larger majority than before , Mr . Stowtll , with others on the platform , beinc the principal supporters of , and holding up both hands for . Mr . Wilson . Mr . Stowell then called

      for a division of tbe room . Mr . Crisp said it was impossible - , the meeting was so crowded it would create a dangerous tumult Such a pioposal could be only matfe to produce a riot . If they wanted to divide the sheep from the goats , he knew -where th » goate would be . Mr . Bolwell had been elected almost unanimously to the chair , and it was &n insult to the meeting to make such a proposition . ( Deafening cheers , and cries of ' Bolwell . ") Several " gentltmen" added to the confusion of the meeting by stamping , whistling , and using noisy cat-calls , particularly in the orchestra . )

      Mr . R- K Philp said , vre have been called together , as tbe operatives of Bath , to form a Protestant Association , and now we are assembled for the purpose , the Reverend Gentlemen who called this meeting refuse to permit us to express our opinions upon the matter . But we are not to be made the playthings of a » y body of aen , whatever their station or calling . The gentlemen on the platform , and a few more sprinkled around the room , aae the only ones who have raised their voices against the appointment we have made to the chair . But bow many operatives are there upon the platform ? 1 " None , none . ") Then what right have they t « interfere -with the legitimate expression of our opinions ? It is fer us to decide whether we will have the proposed Association or not . Are "we to be catted here , and to allow a few interested persons to decide

      for us J ( " No , no . ") The Church is the formidable enemy of the people . The most obstinate opponents of that great m -asnre of political reform , the People ' s Qharter , have been the clergy . The kfluence of the Church is exerted aga : nst every measure likely to benefit the country—against every kind of civil or religious liberty . It is oar Christian Church that has imprisoned Therogood and Balnea for the non-payment of churchrates , they conscientiously differing from the tenets of the E 3 tabliEbment . It is our Christian Church that has imprisoned HttbtTisgton and C . eave for publishing a work , the author of which had conscientiously expressed his opinions upon matters of religion . It was a Church minister who , whilst Frost was awaiting his trial , exerted every influence , from the pulpit , over his parishioners , against

      him . It is the Cieigy who are seeking to do away with tlie harmless amusements of t ' .. e people , and are fcv « r seeking to drive them into church , and cram Bibles down their throats . ( True , true . ) The Bishop of Exeter , in the House of Lords , watches with eaglo eye every opportunity to crush the people , and every particle of liberty they have left . la Bith , the Clergy had iLfluenced the authorities to take proceedings against several poor but honest tradesmen , for merely selling instructive cheap papers on Sunday to those working men , who , from unfortunate circumstances , could not buy them on Saturday night—for this they put two individuals in the stocks , and fined two others . ( Loud crie * of " Shame , " Away with them 1 And are yuu , operatives of Bath , prepared to form an association which thall assist the Clergy in their work of oppression ? I Shouts of " No , no !") 1 glory in your determination ; those shouts will strike deep into their

      hearts ; when they wake on the morrow they will have a different estimation of the operatives of 3 ith than ever they dreamed of before , ( Here Mr . Philp was interrupted with whistling , thumping , Btaruping , it , from ths platform and the orchestra ; the attempt , was to present the following resolution from bviug heard . ) " That in the opinion of this meeting , seeing the vast revenues already applied to Church purposes , and contemplating the distressed condition of the peopU ; taking into account , also , th « opposition given , by the Church to every measure of political reform calculated to benefit the conntry , and extend civil and religious liberty , it is inexpedient to form a " Bath Protestant Operative Association . " But this meetiDg pledges itself to use every effort to effect such political , social , and religious reforms , as snail place the Church upon a more jnst basis tian at present , and bring complete justice and liberty lo the ¦ whol e people . "

      Mr . c . Bolwell seconded the resolution , which was carried by au immense majority . "When the business was declared to be at an end , Mr . Philp said to Mr . Stowell , " Why , Sir , did you threaten to call a policemau to me , because 1 exercised my right to speak . ' " Mr . Stowell commenced by regretting that the harmony of the evening had been disturbed . As a minister of God , and possessing a desire at all times to promote peace , he could truly say that he had not allowed his temper to be ruffled throughout the whole proceeding . Mr . Philp— "Why , Sir , you threatened to call a policeman to me , because I exercised my right to speak . '"

      Mr . SrOWELL— " I did certainly say I would Call for the polie *;—ihisaes , gr-ans , ami laughter )—because I deemed the conduct of iliose who were endeavouring to ascend tbe platform mci \ unruly . And it was very clear that the majority of the meeting were for Mr . Wilson taking the chair . [ An attempt was made to put Mr . Wilson in the chair , but it failed ] ( Loud and vociferous cries of " Ko , no , no . " * Dou't insult us . " •* Tell the truth , " &c , from all parts of the meeting . ) He feared that many present hid lent themselves as the tools of Popery . ( Laughter , " Oh dear ! " ) He had met a gentleman of Bath in a railway train , -who told him that a good Protestant Operative Association might be formed in Bath . ( Cries of "Go back by the next train . " ) He had made such liberal speeches , that he could not fail to please the people of Bith , for many

      who had heard him had set him aosa for a thoroughgoing RidicaL ( Soft Son p . ) But he was open to declare himself a red-hot Tory . < Cheers from the parsons , and groans and yells from the meeting , with cries , ot" afcad lot altogettier . " ) His motto -was to fear God i and honour the QueJk . ( "What ' s to be dons with j Priace Albert and the babby ?") He had done much to \ relieve the distresses of his own starving flock . He j wished more attention had been paid by the nobility ! and gentry to tbe wants of the people . He must say i they were too widely severed , and the best way to unite ( taem was to form snch associatiens as ha had come j there to establish . He was an advocate of religious j liberty , but he would beat down Romanism . ] Mr . C * isp rose , and taking out the bill convening i the meeting , said he had not come to hear a tirade I against the Catholics . There was now ne Chairman .

      j The business had already concluded . j Mr . Stowh . 1 complained of interruption , and said ; he was sorry to observe the people of Bath did not ¦ know how to behave , as well as his townsmen of j Manchester . This w « received with a bnrst of disapj probation ; pnable to bear which , Mr . Stowell sei * jd j his hat and cloak , exclaiming , " I can stand this no longer , " and made his exit , followed by the reverend | brethren , " irbo retired to console each tner over their \ disgraceful defeat . ¦ Mr . CRISP remarked , that they were now talking off , escaping from that chastisement he intended to have icfiieted . It would be useless for him ( Mr .

      Crup ) to attempt to answer tbe infamous calumnies and falsehoods which the disgraceful Both Chronicle was for ever heaping npon himself . What had tbe Protestant ci ' ergy been doing with all the property and p « wer they h , \ d possessed , for the last three hundred years ? In Catholic times , at least , there were no degrading Poor . Unions . ( Load cheers . ) The churches were repaired , and the poor maintained , out of tie ocelesi&stic ^ revenues .

      EXECUTION OF JOSIAH MISTERft . Shrewsbury , Satdbdat . —Since hia removal to the condemned cell tbe conduct of Misters WP 4 saeb AS not to offend , but yet tar from satisfactory . Hia brother personally exerted himself in every quarter , in erder to obtain a commutation of his puUhment , but in vain . A day or two after his conviction . Misters was visited by a gentleman who had done all ia his power to avert the doom that awaited him . He found the prisoner by the fire-side , lost in thought . " A thousand thanks , " he said , " for your exertions ; I can never be too thankful to yoa . for what you ha « e done , bat it's all over . " A few tears dropped from him on uttering these words , and then a long pause ensued . " There is no hope for yon , Misters , " was the reply of the visitor , to the

      inquiry into the probability of a reprieve . " I don't think there is , " he replied , " but I am condemned to die of a crime I never committed , and to die Buch , a death is terrible . Can nothing be done to save me ?" The visitor repeated his . belief that all application for mercy would be vain , aad anxiously entreated him to give up all hopes , and prepare for the fate that inevitably awaited him . He accepted the advice with silent resignation . When pressed to explain his motive for so long and deliberately dodging Mr . Ludlow from place to place , be mtrely said that he came to Shrewsbury to look for a situation , and that he went to Ludlow for & similar purpose . He affirmed that twenty deaths on the gallows would not equal tbe bitterness of his feelings on

      Sunday , when he fainted away twice during divine servioe , overcome by hia own feelings , and the language in which he was addressed . Misters confessed nothing , but he made an admission accidentally , which almost amounts to a confession , for he stated that a part of Mackreth ' s evidence waa utterly false , leaving it to be inferred that the remainder waa true . This Blip l » of a piece which his admission at Ludlow , ¦ when introduced for the first time to his victim , Mr . Mackreth , when he thoughtlessly addressed him thus : — " When you found my hand on your throat , " but suddenly checking himself , he thus varied tke question , " When you found a man ' s hand on your throat could you tell whether he was dressed or not . " We regret to say , that Misters has more than once imputed the crime to a

      man whose committal of it has . been proved to be morally impossible , but whom it has since pleased God to deprive of his reason . We allude to the landlord of the inn where the dreadful occurrence took place . Up to Friday night the Governor of the County Gaol ( Mr . Dawson ) entertained such strong expectations that a respite would be sent from London , that he sent officers to question the passengers on their alighting from the different coaches from town , to know if they were the bearers of any such document . This morning when the last coach arrived from London all hopes for a respite were at an end . The erection of the scaffold on the top of the prison was completed , and every preparation made for the dreadful ceremony . It being market day Urns town was very full and as early as nine o ' clock

      there was a crowd of persons assembled opposite the gaol ; which continued to increase until the time appointed for the execution ( twelve o ' clock . ) At eleven o ' clock the prisoner wag brought into the Vestry , where the Sacrament was administered to him by the Rev . Mr . Whinstone , the Chaplain of the Gaol , assisted by the Rev . Mr . Richard . His fortitude appeared to fersak * him at this trying moment ; but he presently rallied . Soon after eleven o ' clock , Mr . Peel , the Under-Sheriff , attended by a party of javelin men , entered the gaol , when the Governor delivered to the Dnder-Sherifi' the warrant for the prisoner ' s e ^ cutioa It was a mere list of the prisoners convicted during tbe Assizes , together with thtir offences and sentences . As regarded the prisoner all that appeared on it was : —

      Josiah Mister , for feloniously cutting and wounding a person , with intent to murder—to be hanged . ( Signed ) John Bellamy , Ckrk of the Assize . Shortly before twelve o ' clock , Mr . Kent , a Baptist minister , preached a sermon to the multitude assembled outside the prison . Precisely at twelve o ' clock , the prisoner was brought into the waiting-room , where nib irons were knocked off , and his arms were pinioned . He was then led forth , preceded by the chaplain , and supported by two of the gaoler ? . He looked dreadfully pale , but as he crossed the prison yard , though very collected , there was nothing of bravado in his manner ; on the contrary , his conduct was such as became his awful situation . When about to ascend the staircase leading Co the top of the gaol , be said , in a firm tone , " I freely forgive the Jury who have tried we . " On being placed under the fatal beam , he shook hands with the gaoler , and said , " Good bye , God bless you . " The bolt was a £ that moment withdrawn , and the wretched man was launched into eternity .

      Mr . Mackret ? ' forwarded a petition to the Secretary of Slate , praying that the prisoner ' s life might be spared , to which he received an answer , stating that the petition had been referred to tbe Learned Judge who tried the case , who stated that the crime of which the prisoner had been convicted was of bo atrocious a nature , that be could not recommend him as a fit object of the Rwyai clemency . — Weekly Dispatch .

      ? EXECUTION OF MATTHEW F 0 WLE 3 , AT STAFFORD . Stafford , Saturday . —At five minutes past eight o ' clock in the morning the execution of this wretched man took place . It is conjectured there were from two to Ihtee thousand persons pTesent . On making inquiries as to whether any alteration bad taken place in the behaviour of the unhappy culprit , and whether he persevered in the denial of his guilt wo Uarned that he still maintained his former position . During the whole of the might he slept soundly , and on rising , at fire o ' clock , he partook of a hearty breakfast , with evident zest . Shortly afterwards be appeared engaged in fervent prayer .

      At seven o ' clock tbe wretched man was conducted to the cbapel . Here he was preceded by the Governor aud Chaplain . On entering the edifice , he still retained his composure , and after casting a hasty glance around him , took his place at the Communion Table . He then knelt down , and appeared to be engaged in silent meditation . The prisoner was then solemnly questioned by the Chaplain with reference to his participation in the crime for which his life was shortly to be ottered in expiation . The language employed by the Reverend Gentleman was so striking , and the reply of the convict so pointed , that we lay the whole before our readers : — " 1 charge you , as in the presence of Almighty God , in whoso presence you will shortly appear , did you , or did you not , participate in the murder of that unfortunate woman . " The prisoner , in a firm , but low tone of voice , replied , " No , Sir . " On repeating the question , in a firm voice , he unhesitatingly replied , " J never knew a word at all about it , until I was taken

      into custody . " The service then proceeded . Fowles ' sfitmness appeared never to leave him for a single moment , and be retired from the chapel to the condemned Cell without tbe slightest emotion of fear , preserring , however , the same decorum which he had maintained during tbe impressive service . Fowles again declared that he know nothing about the murder , and that he told the truth as far as he knew . About eight o'clock the executioner entered the cell , and proceeded to pinion the unhappy man . Whilst he was performing this office , is was most surprising to witness the unshaken demeanour of the prisoner . The Governor said , " Fowles , I hope you are not going to leave the world with a lie in your mouth . " He replied , " No , Sir . " The Governor added , " You know that tbe punishment will be more than ten-fold in the next world , if you do ? " The prisoner replied , •' Yes , Sir , I am aware of it" He then requested that his coat and hat might bo given Ellia , one uf the boatmeu , who was reprieved only a few hours before the time fixed for his execution lost

      ytar , and who stnl remains hi the county prison . The Under-Sheriff , It . W . Hand , Esq ., having , asids to the Governor , made the usual demand of the body of the culprit , he was delivered up into the hands of tbe executioner . The Chaplain immediately commenced readiDg the burial-sarvico ; and , with the Governor and Under-Sheriff , preceded the prisoner to the drop , the culprit walking unsupported with a firm step . Htsascended the scaffold , likewise , without receiving any assistance , and took his station under tbe fatal beam . After the rope had been placed round his neck , the Governor asked him , for the Jast time , whether he had aoy further communications to make ?

      The MiirquU of Lansdowne said that , in consequence of what bad take » place last session , he would , soon after the holidays , mov * for a Committee upon Promissory Notes and Bills ef Exchange . TheEart of Chaki- £ tille then called the attention of thelx Lordships to that portion of the criminal jurisprudence of Ireland which prevented the setting aside of improper persons from the Jury panel by the Crown . The King ' s Couaty had , bo said , toecome recently tbe cene of frightful outrages , without any apparent local causes t » lead to them . Their Lordships would remember the murder of Mr . Fraser—the attempt to murder Mr . Stoney—the attempt to murder Mr . Smith—the attempt to murder the Rev . Mr . Dunn—the murder of Lord Norbury—the attempt to murder Mr . Seaton . and the attempt to murder Mr . Biddulph .

      In all these cases the only one in which the Government could procure any information , bo as to bring the parties to trial was in that of Mr . Biddulph . Two persona were apprehended , and he would admit that , up to a certain point , the Irish Government had done everything in ita power to bring them to punishment . The Jury was empanelled according to the practice which prevailed eve ? since the Noble Marquis ( Normanby ) bad been Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . The Crown did not set aside a single man . There were 5 t names on the Jury panel ; 11 did not answer to their names ; the prisoners challenged 27 , and the qther 12 formed the Jury . Of these 12 ne was a county delegate of the ribandaien , and there waa a

      committee man of the same society , and a third was parish master of the ribandmen . There was also a cose in Armagh where the same course was pursued , hut it was departed from at Londonderry on the trial of a Protestant named Grey , who was charged with having committed a cold-blooded murder . In Grey ' s case tbe prisoner challenged seven of the Jury , and the Crown challenged ten . The Noble Lord , after contending tlmt all efforts to administer justice in Ireland effectually must cease unless the jurymen could be placed above suspicion , concluded by moving fer papers relative to the trial of the parties for shooting at Mr . Biddulph , in which case the Jury had declared they could not agree in their verdict

      The Marquis of Normanby said that if the Noble Earl had made further inquiries than he had done , he thought he would net have come forward to pronounce in that House an opinion on the guilt of those parties who were yet to be tried at the next assizes , and thus prejudge the verdict of the jury . The Noble Earl had not stated the whole cose—he bad written to the Lord Lieutenant upon the subject , and the reply tbe Noble Earl received proved that the jury , in the case of Mr . Biddulph , had not been empanelled without interference en the part of the Crown . Mr . Biddulph bad

      been consulted by the Crown solicitor , and had , after the jury were sworn , expressed more than once his satisfaction , and said a more impartial jury could not be bod . Mr . Moore , tbe Solicitor-General , had also declared that the verdict of the jury ( if coming to no decision could be called a verdict ) , upon the evidence adduced , could not be found fault with . He hoped the Noble Bar ] would not press his motion , as it would be extremely injudicious at the present moment , when the trial of these parties wa * » ti ) l pending . The Noble Marquis also read some documents , tending to show a great diminution of crime in Ireland .

      Lord Glengall said that much of this diminution was to be attributed to the go « d management of the police . The Earl of Charleville replied , and eventually withdrew bia motion { or papers .

      Tuesday , April 6 j $ At four o'clock , the Lord Chancellor , the Earl of Clarendon , and the Earl of Shaftesbury took their seats below tbe Throne as Lords Commissioners , when the Deputy Usher of the Black Bod was ordered to summon the Commons to hear the Hoyal Aas « nt given to various Bills . Soon after , the Speaker , attended by a number of Members , appeared at tbe bar , when the Royal Assent was given in the usual way to the Hum Duties Equalizntion Bill , tbe Turnpike Acts Continuance ( Irelaud ) BUI , tbe Population Act Amendment Bill , tbe Houghing of Cattle ( Ireland ) Bill , the Durham and Sunderlami Railway Bill , tbe York and North Midland Railway Bill , tbe Glasgow , Paisley , and Greenock Railway Bill , and the Manchester and Satford Waterworks Bill . The House then ad jouraed during pleasure . The Earl of Suaftesbury resumed hia seat at five o ' clock .

      The Duke of Wellington presented a petition from tbe Mayor , Aldermen , and Corporation of Dover in favour ot the Jews' Declaration Bill . The Noble Duke said he could not concur in the prayer of tbe petition , The Marquis of NoHMAtfUY presented a petition from Westminster , praying that the toll might be taken off the metropolitan bridge ? . The N « ble Lord then moved for a return of all the trials for Ribbonism in Ireland during the last two years , distinguishing those who bad been convicted and these M-ho had been acquitted , and also the cases in which the Jury had been discharged without coming to any decision . He had reason to believe that the result would prove that the acquittals which in ordinary cases were to the convictions as seven , six , and five to four , would turn out to ba in the Ribbon cases in the ratio of three and a half convictions to one acquittal , and that there was only one cose ia which the Jury bad been discharged without coming to any verdict .

      The Duke of Buckingham presented petitions from Lcominster and another place , against any further grant to tbe College of Maynooth . On the motion of Lord Melbourne , the House then Adjourned to Thursday , the 22 d instant

      — . ^ HOUSE OF COMMON'S , Fbtdat , Armh 2 . The Dublin Wide Streets Bill , the Bradford Water Works Bill , and some other private bills were read a second time . Mr . Blacicstone moved that tbe evidence taken hefore tho St . Alban'a Election Committee be printed . It was very desirable that the House and the country should know tbe grounds upon wbicb the decision of the Committee had been arrived at . It waa generally understood ttiat tbe greatest obstacles had been thrown in th « w ;* y of proving tbe bribery aud corruption that prevailed at the election , and it was impossible that partita could be induced to squander large sums in investigations before Committees so constituted . It was also generally rumoured that a most disgraceful compromise had taken place bet wet n the parties to the St . Alban ' s und the Canterbury petitions , and that it ran thus— " If you withdraw your petition against the sitting member for St . Alban ' s , we will not prosecute tbe sitting jnwnber for Canterbury . "

      Mr . DWNCOMiiis moved in addition that the evidence taken before the Canterbury Election Committee bo printed . It was impossible that the House or tbe public could have any conntienco in these Committees if comments upon their proceedings , such as he bud lately noticed in the public prints , were indulged in . The Hon . Gentleman then read extracts from an article in the Times of tbe previous day in reference to the St . A 1 ban's Committee , in which it was stated that the most open , unblushing , and reckless purchase of tbe borough had taken place , and bad been proved before the Coiaauttee , but that , bavin ; a majority of Ministerialists on the Committee , the sitting member was enabled to retain his seat . He knew nothing of the facts , but he thought that a gross libel upon the Committee ; but there was primct facie evidences of a most disgraceful compromise , which ought to be cleared up . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . SAMDroRD ( chairman of the St Alban's Committee—When the evidence was before the House he bad no doubt tbe conduct of tbe Committee would be fully vindicated . Several Members spoke against and in favour of the motion . Lord F . Egerton opposed the motion . Icord J . Russell said , if the object was to vindicate the character of tiie Members of the Committee , he should divide the House against tho motion , but it was of importance that they should have tbe evidence before them , in order to form an opinion as to the working of these tribunals , and to enable them to suggest improvements . The evidence taken before tbe Wulsall , Canterbury , and St . Alban ' s election Committees , was then ordered to be printed . In answer to Mr . ORMSBY GORE ,

      Lord J . Russell said it wm intended to issue a commission to inquire into the state of the church in North Wales . Colonel Sibthorp wished to know if it was to be a paid commission 2 Lord J . Russell wonld recommend the Hon . and Gallant Member to ask the Archbishop of Canterbury , at whose instance the commissios was issued . ( Great laughter . ) The Houghing of Cattle ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . ¦ The House then went into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill .

      Monday , April 5 . When the' ordar of the day was moved for the House nsolving itself' into Committee * on tbe Poor Law Amendment Bill , Mr . Waklet drew attention to the operation of the Bill in the City of London , and referring to the dietaries of the City workhouses , showed that their fare waa much better , and more abundant than in any of the , rural districts . He was of opinion that the Poor Law Commissioners should be called to the Bar of the House , to explain this extraordinary violation of a law which ought to be uniformly administered . Lord John Russell complained « f these observations , when it was an understood thing that the Bill was only to be committed pro / orwia ,. in order to have tbe amendments printed ; and that all discussion was to be postponed until after Easter . The Bill then went through Committee pro forma . The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon foreign trade , aad -. . -

      Mr . Labouchebe moved « series of resolutions for the regulation of foreign trade with British possessions in America and tbe West Indies . It was bis intention to impose a duty of 7 per cent , above the duty on British goods , in lieu of the duties of ? i , 15 , 20 , and 30 per cent , now levied on foreign goods imported into those colonies , thii ' s giving an adTuntage of 7 per cent , to British goods , which , at the Cape of Good Hope , was found to be an ample protection . These alterations , the Right Honourable Geatleman contended , would be of tbe greatest advantage to our colonies , without proving at all injurious to tbe mother country .

      Mr . Goulbtjkn admitted the advantages * f tbe alteration to the West India Islands , but hoped this proposition was not to be the precursor of the importation of foreign sugar and spirits . He thought the Government should be very cautious in its proceedings , and the House should be very certain that seven per cent , would be a sufficient protection to tbe mother country , before it assented to the alteration . He wished to know if this were an experiment with a view to ascertain if they eould hereafter admit into Great Britain the leather , silk , linen , and other produce of the Continent at a protecting duty so greater than seven per cent Tbe Right Hon . Gentleman concluded by declaring that ha mast have farther tiaie and . further information before he could sanction such an extensive alteration .

      Mr . Labouciiere was convinced that tbe proposed measure would not only lead to most beneficial conse-% uencb 8 in a commercial point of view , but would be followed by great political advantages by conciliating our great colonial interests . The resolutions bad been now for scone time before the public , aad he believed tbe manufacturers throughout the kingdom were not opposed to them , for they were becoming , for tbe most part , convinced that they were not benefltted by very bigb protective duties . Mr . Colquhoun thought the West Indies would be still placed ia a disadvantageous position as compared witb the East Indies . He did not think that the measure could be considered a 3 a full act of justice to the former colonies . Mr . Hume hoped to see tbe day wuen protective duties would be altogether abolished , and when the only duties imposed would be those for tbe purposes of revenue .

      Mr . Herries said that after tbe committee upon import duties bod been brought to a premature close , he did hope that a more general inquiry wonld have been entered upon before proposing a measure which would effect a revolution in the commercial transactions of the country . Lord J . Russell strenuously advocated the adoption of the resolution . Mr . Villieus supported the resolutions , for , in his opinion , nothing could be- more injurious to the colonies than these restrictive duties , tbe abolition of which , be believed , would not be opposed , were it not for tbe fear that the principle might hereafter be applied at home .

      Mr . G . Palmer said , if this measure were passed , the result would be tbat the whole trade of the world would be thrown open , and the British shipowners and merchants would have no advantage over those of other countries . He thought the > subject , therefore , one which required mun inquiry and consideration than had as yet been ba&towed upon it . Mr . B . BARt . vG made some observations respecting the committee on imports , which led to a personal altercation with Mr . Villiers , to an extent such as to cause Mr . Bernal to call upon both Hon . Members to recall their somewhat hasty expressions , which after a little hesitation was acauisced in .

      After some further discussion , Mr . Laboucheee said he should fix tbe first of January , 1842 , as the period whtn the new duties should come into operation . He proposed , if the resolutions were agreed to , to bring in tbe Bill and hava it read a first time on Tuesday , and to move the second reading after Easter . ¦ ; Tbe resolutions were then agreed to , and the Houae resumed . The House then went into committee on the Criminal Justice Bill , in which several amendments were made . The other orders of the day were disposed of , and tbe House adjourned .

      THE BISHOP INSECT . The Rev . Sydney Smith observes of the delights of tropical climates" Ineects are the curs « of tropical climates . The bete rouge lays tbe foundation of a tremendous ulcer . In a moment you are covered with ticks . Chigoes bury themselves in your flesh , and batch a large colony of young chigoes in a few hours . They will not live together , bat every chigoe sets up a separate ulcer , and has his own private portion of pus . Flies get entry into your mouth , into your eyes , into your nose ; you eat flies , drink flies , and breathe flies . Lizards , cockroaches , and sn . ikes get into the bed ; ants eat up the books ; scorpions sting you » n the foot . Everything

      bites , stings , or bruises ; every second of your existence you are wounded by some piece of animal life that nobody has ever seen before , except Swammerdam and Meriam . An insect with eleven legs is swimming in your teacup , a nondescript witb nine wings is struggling in the small beer , or a caterpillar witb several dozen eyes in his belly is hastening over the bread and butter ! All nature is alive , and seems to be gathering all ber entomological hosts to eat you np , as you are standing , out of your coat , waistcoat , and breeches . Such are the tropics . All this reconciles us to our dews , fogs , vapours , and drizzle—to our apothecaries rushing about with gargles and tinctures—to our old , British , constitutional coughs , sore throats , aud swelled faces . "

      The witty divine does not seem to be aware of the existence of an insect more offensive than any he has described , which plagues our northern and colder climate , and ia vulgarly known by the appellation of "The Stinking Bishop . " It has acquired the epithet by the intolerable nausea with whieh the air is impregnated wherever it is on wing in the neighbourhood , and more particularly in " The . House . " When caught and pressed , the effect is hardly to be described or conceived . We are not , however , informed why the name of Bishop has been confer ted on so disgusting an insect , the most offensive of all the bug species , to which it is declared by naturalists to belong . The infliction of this nuisance has been dreadfull y felt in different parts of England where its visitations have been migratory . We heard ii

      much complained of in Durham some time back , but latterly it appears to have takea a westerly direction , and the accounts from Devonshire—particularly round Exoter—have been , indeed , truly appalling . The mischief done in that neighbourhood is iucalculable—nor has Westminster or Lambeth been ex < : mpt froai its virulence . Canterbury , as well as London , has made heavy complaints , which we are h ^ ppy to assure- our readers have called the attention of the Home Office" to its progress , and we have no doubt that , by the public spirit * of Lord Normanby , aud tha active exertions of our most eminent bug-destroyers , its uuwholesome influence will be checked , and the 'disgusting insect eventually prevented from polluting our atmosphere with ita effluvia . —Examiner .

      THE NEW AND OLD POOR LAWS . 'Whoever bos paid attention to the late proceedings of the House of Commons , must see that it is now for the first time tbat that assembly is approaching to a condition of intelligence to legislate for the poor . The new law has furnished tbat ? instruction which an experiment always furnishes , and the instruction has been forced upon the House , however reluctant , by the benevolent importunity of the public ; Already the harsher provisions of the law are either explained away or formally eundenmed ; and the process of amelioration ia this respect must proceed , if the country persevere in its-uumuteezei'tions , of which we have no doubt Already the Commissioners have had-some sharp rebukes tot humble their arrogance and mitigate their tyranny . Already their hours are eeunled , and they have been . apprised that even the respite with which they are indulged is to be , dependent upon a considerable amendment , in their conduct . With the

The letter was addressed from Manchester to Macclesfield , and the prisoner , instead of putting ji into the Macclesfield bag , detained the letter andW the money . Sentence deferred . A Viscount at a Discount . —We are told that a ludicrous scene occurred a few days ago at a neighbouring Welsh Aesizea . It appears that a certain Viscount , whose inordinate appetite for sening u foreman on grand juries , and as chairman at quart er sessions has been proverbial , was not summoned as usual on the assize grand jury . He attended at the assize town , saw the under-sheriffs , and with apor . tentons frown , demanded why his same had not been imsertedin the

      grand jury panel . The worth ? functionary , nothing daunted , replied " that he ( the viscount ) could hardly expect such a thing as matter of course , inasmuch as bis place of abode w » in a distant part of a neighbouring county , and that Mb estate ia the county ot Flint was trifling . Nay that it was indecent on his part , always thus to at « tempt to thrnst himself above the heads of the old county families of standing and territorial influence . ' This home thrust did not convince the Viscount who expressed his determination of taking his stand * upon his rights , by walking into the grand fury box "You may do as you please , " coolly replied the under-sheriff , "but you may rely that yon will not sit on the grand jury here to-day . " The Viscount did appear ia the box , but it was no go . — From a correspondent . —[ The Viscount alluded to is Viscount Dungannon , and the scene was at Mold . The Nobl « Lord is generally known by the cognomen of the " Journeyman Juror . " —Chetter Chronicle . }
