GARDENING CALENDAR . KrrcnEs games . Stick advancing crops of peas and scarlet runners , and sow a txesh supply of tbe above and the dwarf French bean . Pecs , if the land is dry or sandy , should be sown in a shallow trench , tbat tha waterings they will require during hot weather may well eoak their roots . Garry on the different succession ^ sowings of vegetables , and stir the soil between those advancing ; frequently water cauliflowers , spinach , turnips , and other vegetables depending for their excellence on the rapidity of their growth , Plant out tomatoes , eitber against vacast places on the walls or warm slopes : a portion should be kept under glass for an early supply . Chillies are best planted out under glass ; see the newly planted celery gets no check , and prick out in beds of rich soil tbat sown in the open ground for later crops . Transplants leeks into similar trenches ,
as directed for celery , onlj plant two rows of plants in each trench , which nted not be more than two feet apart . Thej will require an abundance of water , and should be earthed up when sufficiently advanced . Cat the floirerzsR stalks off from ritubard , seskale , and other roots , when the ripeniag of the seed would be injurious to the Tieorons crowth of foliage . Ia putting asparagus for the table , take all the shoots as they . spring from the ground ; to leave any , however small , would only prevent the growth of the dormant buds below . On young be 5 s , not yet at tbeir be t , catting should be dis . cautioned early ; the remainder -lionld not be cut later tban tbe middle of June , unless there are beds going to be broken up , which may bs cut while any shoots come up . It is a waste of time to save old beds for forcing , as they rarely pay for the trouble , and tbe finest forced ' grass' is always obtained from roots not older than four or fire years .
Hianr rsnrr sabres . The present is a busy period in this department , and much vigl . lance and perseverance tn . ] lie requisite to keep pass with tbe ad . Tancing growth in preventing and keeping down die different pests which , this season , appear more than usually numerous , assisted , no doui ' t , by the prevalence of co-d easteily winds . As we have before directed , tobacco water must be instantly applied whenever the black or green fly makes its appearance , endeavouring to make it act on the under side of the leaves . When the foiiago becomes much culled from blight , a good sulpkurutor . charged with snuff sndasmallpoitionof sulphur , will " be found tbe most effectual implement ; before using tins , damp the trees with the syringe , and apply the snuff before the trees become dry , thtt it may more effectually adhere to tbe leaves . Pay close attention to apricots , pears , ic , to dislodge tbe maggot which coils itself up in the loliage , andnotuufreqtttntly spoils some of the finest fruit . In disbaddiffij pears , plums , and cherries , tha fore-right shoots , and thoisii-rt wanted for laying in , should remain for tb 9 present , as Stopping them at ibis time would only causes fresh breaking into
wood , either ot theejes at tha bass of tbe stopped shoot or of some portion of tbe spurs , and would destroj tbe end mined at , viz ., the conver ting the eyes at tha base of each shoot into fruit spurs ; as they , however , look unsightly on well regulated trees , it will be better to tie them slightly to the main branches for tbe . pressntthis will give a better appearance Jo the trees , and lending tbe shoot will in some measure sU >? t . e free action of tie sap , and help the object in view . The precis .- time at wh : ch the shoots should be shortened must Deregulated by the vigour of the tree , and should be deferred till a - ! danger of the remaining eyes again breaking jatu wood is over . Where a large number of sTawberries is yearly forced , tie plants , after the fruit is ipithewd , will be found valuable for planting out , producing a most abundant crop the following year : the later forced ones wiU answer best for this , as they .-ire not so liable to bloom again iu the autumn ; turn the plant * into rich soil , and if tbey are only to remain one year ( which is our own practice ) , they may be planted pretty thick ; water them till they gete tablished . Place straw or some similar material between strawberries now in bloom , to preserve tbe fruit clean in heavy rains , and to keep the ground moist .
FLOEHTS £ LOWEBS . If the cold east wind we bava had for the past three or more months COUtlHUes , it will be better to defer planting out Dahlias for a few days . Seize , however , the first favourable opportunity 60 through the collection of Tulips , carefully marking those which are out of place , rearranging them according to their respective ieigfcL * , eithe .-in the 1 st , 2 d , 3 d , or 4 th rows ; alsonote those which have impure stamens , this is a serious defect . Some flowers mil be cloudy at the base of the petals when in a flamed state , which are perfectly pure when feathered , fent we never imetv an instance et a variety with stained stamens becoming pure in either cha racter . Carefully attend to Ranunculus beds ; water between the rows in the evening , it they require it j let the water be soft , and warmed by exposure to the sun during the day . Direst Pinks , intended for exhibition , of tbeir laterals , leaving one , tvsv , or three buds on each , stem , according to the strength and variety of tbe plant Water Hollyhocks occasionally with weak liquid manure , taking care that the ligatures do not chafe the rising stems Gartmtrs' Chramde .
PuHtma Potatoes L & . TE . Before the Potato bligbtfirst showed itself in this country , the folio v . ing method of procuring late en ps proved perfec ly successful with us , and should the disease not again manifest itself , good results from tbe practice may still be expected ; we would therefore recommend its adoption on a small scale . About tbe first week in June , we selected early kinds of ordinary size , and cut them into sets , i We then drew shallow drills on reserve -.-round , or on any spare corner ; and after watering them , plumed the sets thickly , with the eyes upwards , covering them s i htly , so as to be transplanted ( with sets entire ) , about midminmer , cr the brgir . ninjt of July , lsj carefu'ly raising them with a fiirk , the sets will adhere to the roots , and nothing grows more freehr when transplanted tban the potato . A little watering , if'he weather is dry , will start them into full growth . By tlm * planting an advance , due time is given for charing off early crops of PotaiDe * . I ' l-as . Cabbages , & e .. nnd for the ground to befreib manured acdwellprepared for tbeir reception .

P ^ o following letter was reoenred last week , but too late for pnblication . ] THE MANCHESTER " CONFERENCE . "
TO TEE CHARTISTS . Brothku Democrats , —Information has reached me that Messrs . Jones and Cockroft deny tbe truth of my report of their speeches , at the recent " Conference , " concerning the coarse to be pursued towards the middle classes . I am astonished tbat Cfickroft should deny it , seeing that it is a doctrine wbicb . he has " always maintained . As for Mr . Jones , I have long since ceased to be astonished at anything he may say or do . It happen ? , however , fortunately for me , that the statements made by these two men were not passed by in silence . After the business of tbe day had concluded , Air . Grocott came into the roorn where I was transcribing my notes , and asked me what I thouoht of such languageand expressed his astonishment
, at it—adding , " that he ; did not think that we bad any right to interfere with ticket meetings . Cockroft and I occupied the same room ; and when we went to bed , I told him what Grocott had said , and asked him what he thought of such condnct , and whether it would not bring the cause into contempt ? Instead of retracting , " he defended both Jones and himself . " Again , on Friday , after the business was ' concluded , and when the delegates were . engaged in a desultory conversation , ' Mr . Grocott again brought up the subject , and expressed his astonishment that . Mr . Jones should use such language ; which Cockrolt again defended . Under these circumstances , I feel quite easy about any denial tbat may be made . I mnst turn to moire important matters .
Brother Chartists , there is an old adage , which , in poor poetry , but with much truth , says—Jealosies , doubts , and fears , Set people together by the earj . Mr . Ernest Jones seems to have been perfectly aware of tbe force of the above adage , for week after week , and month after month , has he laboured to fill the minds of tbo people with suspicion and distrust . Every man who was supposed to possess any influence with the people , but who refused to echo his sentiments , and to shout in his train , has been set down as either a rogue or a fool . No regard has been had to the length of men ' s services , or the faithfulness with which these services have been discharged . The only questions which Mr . Jones has asked himself have been— "Is he labouring in my interest ? Can I use bira
as a tool to assist me in my ambitions designs ? Or is he likely , from long , faithful , and tried services in tbe cause of liberty , to become a rival claimant for soma portion of the confidence of the people ? Is he likely to act as a bar to that dictatorship at which I am aiming , and which , at all hazards I have determined to obtain ? ' Judging from Air . Jones ' s conduct these are the only questions which have ever entered into bis mind . And woe be to the man who has had strength of mind and independence of spirit , sufficient to see through and expose bis attempt to set up a despotism in the name cf Democracy . Every line tbat is written , every word that is spoken by any one thus situaated , is seized upon and perverted from its legitimate moaning . Sentences bave been torn from their contest , and in the most
barefaced and dishonest manner twisted from their meaning . In short , every means which a had heart , and a reckless and ambitions mind could suggest , have been brought to bear to accomplish this ambitious pretender ' s unholy designs . It will he remembered that about eighteen months ago an attempt was made , by certain of the Manchester men , to % et an a Conference of a similar nature to the one which has just sat . Their object , like the abettors of this last abortion , was to elect an Executive out of the heads of tbo legitimate body . It will b * recollected that Mr . Jones moved heaven and earth to defeat the plans of the plotters of that time . I expect that thoro were very few of Mr . Jones ' s admirers who were aware that lie was at the same time plotting tbe destruction of his colleagues .
In the month of December , 1850 , 1 received a letter from Mr . Jones , concerning the ! then project ! d Manchester Conference . It will be recollected that Mr . Jones was , at that time , a member of the Executive , against whom " the High Holborn gang" and their Manchester dupes were plotting . Mr . Jones , while defending the then Executive before the public , dealt with them after the following manner in his letter to me : — " As regards 'the present Executive , " says he , "I believe they are utterly inadequate to their position . Amongst them are four Editors of public papers . O'Connor , who attends our Councils merely to paraliseour movements , breed dissentions aud destroy us . And Mr . HoIyoaSe , who is a middle class Reformer , and who , as an Atbiest , will raise a vast amount of middle class prejudice against us , without gaining any middle class support . I
proposed to Reynolds and Harney that they should take a tour into the country . Harney would not , and Reynolds proposes to take a tour into the west to push his paper , which has h * j'been his intention . Arnott , as Secretary , is tied to his once ; and three working men , who are not public speakers , and who , if tbey were , cannot leave their employment . These last three I believe to be strietly honest men . The last is your humble servant , myself , who , of course , am powerless alone . I have , therefore , strong thoughts of resigning ; and it is on this point tbat I want your advice . " Yon may judgo that when I read this 1 was somewhat astonished , for I was aware tbat the Executive was an unpaid one , acd was not expected *< r tramp up and down the country , and if it was necessary that any one should do so , Jones was tha
likeliest man , seeing that he had nothing else to do ; and as to his being alone and powerless , I knew it was false . He then proposed to me that the Chartists of Yorkshire should elect an Executive of their own , and aot independent of tbe rest of tbe body ; which would have split . the society into two seperate and hostile factions . We had been talking for some time of raising money to start a paper , belonging to the society : I had written to him on that subject . -He , therefore , in alluding to that subject , stated that that would form part of bis plan with regard to forming Yorkshire into a state of itself ; and , in alluding to tbat projsct , he gavo tbe following pieco of advice . " Do allow me to warn you never again to have a paper theproperty of one man . It gives bim undue influence , turns him into a dictator , and will , sooner or later , be pemrled to selfish
purposes . Let the paper be the property of the working men of Yorkshire . " When I road this letter , I immediately law the critical position in which the movement was placed , If I advised him to throw up , and thus divide the then Executive , it would be playing into the hands of Clark and Co . ; and , if I unmasked his designs , it would have a similar effect , and would eud in the diarupture of the movement . I therefore wrote back to hint , telling him that he must not , on any account , guit the Executive . Finding , therefore , that I was not so ready to second his designs , be stuck to his post . But he has uever ceased from that time to the present to take every opportunity , both public and private , to stab and ruin tbe character of every man of standing and influence in the Chartist ranks , who refused to degrade himself to the position of bis tool . He stated at Halifax , that
Mr . Reynolds had been to bim , and wanted him to assist in making a " coup d ' etat" in the Chartist movement , and that Mr . Reynolds agreed to manage Mr . O'Connor , if Jones would agree to manage Mr . Harney . He , however , stated that he had refused to enter into Mr . Reynolds's scheme . Whether this story was true or not , I cannot tell . One thing , however , is certain , that be has since made the coup oVetat on Ms own account . At the time of the Halifax discussion he endeavoured to destroy the influence of the Executive , by representing them as being one portion , drunken and immoral character ^ , and the other portion knaves and traitors . Thus no means have been left untried to undermine and destroy every public man but himself and Ms tools . And thinking that ha had accomplhhed his object , he then
proceeds to make his coup d ' etat ia the shape of tbat most miserable of all abortions—the " Manchester Con f erence . " The object for which that " Conference " was called , was solely and entirely to make the organisation and machinery of the Chartist body subsevient to the interest and elevation sf Ernest Jones . Does any one doubt this ? Let him look at the manner in which it was called . Months' before the election of the present Executive . Mr . Jones was labouring in his " Notes , " fay insinuation and innuendo , to destroy the confidence of the people in the men who compossed the then Cnransitteo . Yet , notwithstanding all bis labours in that direction , the men whose independence of mind rendered them most obnoxious to his ambitious designs , were reelected .
EiEdmg tbat tbe people were backward at carrying out Ms views , he came out mors boldly , and , week after week , attacked ibe characters aad motives of the Executive , until he found that he had made an impression on some of the localities . He jhen proceeded to make a cat ' s-paw of a few foolish individua ' s in Manchester , v > ho were ordered to call a " Conference . " in the name of tho ChavtUts of Great Britain . Mr . Jones bad prepared , ready cut and dried , an Exscuuve , composed entirely of his own crea ' ures . It is true that he got somewhat balked in his designs . No thanks ' to hint for that . He had rather overshot his mark in his denunciations of the London gentlemen .. The Manchester , Stoekport , aud Coventry delegates had come instructed to vote against the appointment of any Londoiur on tbe Executive . And it required all the craft and ingenuity of which Mr * . Jones wag master , to drive them from their purpose . he Manchester
T men urged that the Executive ought to bave their rendezvous in their town . Tho Coventry delegate was of opinion that Coventry was the only fit place for tha bead quarters of the movement . This would not have suited Mr . Jones ; and , he asked , " Was not London the seat of government , and was it not the metropolis of tha world , and , more than all , was it not the place where the People's Paper' was published * Yes , the Executive must have their office near to where the paper was published . " The Manchester men did not exactly see this . When , therefore , Mr . Jones proceeded to pass a fulcome panegyric upon T . M . Wheeler , whom he proposed as the likeliest man he knew to serve on the Executive , he was met by a very ugly question from Mr . Grocott , who wanted to know if Mr . Wheeler had abandoned those habits of intemperance , to whioh it was reported he ' was formerly addicted . At this moment
I was ordered to lay down my pencil ; but the savant who gave those orders forgot to tell me to stop my ears . I was , therefore , nnder the painful necessity of hearing from tbe lips of Mr . Jones , whose morality was so pure and sensitive , tbat he could not sit on the Executive along with Arnott and Shaw , on account of their " intemperate and immoral conduct ; " that the man whom he had honoured with his patronage , and bespattered with his praise , was a drunken and degraded character . It happened , accidentally , on the day when these things took place , that the Delegates all stopped to dinner at Mr . Mi ' . wson ' s , where I was lodging . Finlen and Jones began to lament the loss of Wheeler ; "but , " says Jones , " we must get bim in as Secretary , he will manage that , because he will not have to go before the public . Mr . Citte t"ld bun that the Manchester men were about to propose Grocott for tbat situation . This astounded Mr . Jones , but , in spite of Ms effo . ts , Mr . Grocott was elected . There can
Stxte Of Health Is Tub'iltiaopoua.—Tbe R...
be no doubt that if he should prove to have a mind of his own , and should venture to exercise it contrary to the mandates of the great lam , some pretext will speedily be formed for getting rid of him . " , „ Here , for the present , I must pause . In the mean time it is absolutely necessary we-should know how the country is effected with regard to the usurpation whioh has taken place in the name of Democracy . If any considerable portion of the organised localities are prepared to submit to such an outrage , the course of all true Democrats becomes at or . ce clear and obvious . They must either set to work and form a new party , which , by its dignified conduct and policy shall command the support and esteem of every good and true man in the count- ? , or calmly stand by and see Democracy dishonoured and
ruined bv tbe " smashing policy . Viewimr the question iu this light , I have come to tho conclusion , as the West Riding Secretary , that , it is my duty at once to call tocether the Chartists of this large and impoitant district , ' in order that their decision may be at once known . I have always deemed it an honour to serve my brother Chartists , but should they agree to sanction so anti-democratic an act as that which has just been performed at Manchester , I shall bo under tbe painful necessity of severing tbe connexion . I shall call a meeting for this purpose for Sunday , the 12 th of June , at Mitchel ' s Temperance Hotel , Union-street , Bradford , at half-past ten in the forenoon ; and I trust on this important occasion that every localitv in the Riding will send its representative .

Usurpation Akd Repudi&Tios. To The Edito...
USURPATION AKD REPUDI & TIOS . TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAB OF FUBEDOM . My Deah Sir , —Yesterday I received a letter from Mr . Grocott , Secretary to the new-fangled Executive , to take office , to which , by return of post , I sent the following answer : — " Dear Sir , —In answer to yours , I bave to say tbat I cannot accept of Mr . Crow ' s place , for two reasons ;—" Firstly , —Because I cannot recognise the late Conference as a National Chartist Conference ; and , therefore , cannot take office under it . Had I been aware of its character when I answered yon * last , * I should have answered in the negative .
" Secondly , —Because I find from the report of its proceedings , tbat it would be impossible that Mr . Finlen and I could work well together—at least , I should suppose so from the remarks , which foil from him in tbe Conference relative to my religious . opinions—remarks which , in my opinion , are as-widely , different from the principles of Democracy as light from darkness . It will over give me pleasure to promote- tbe principles of Democracy ; but 1 must do so on tbe broad principle of Universal Justice , as a friend of humanity , and not as a party politician , " "A . R . " JT . B . —I should be glad to find tbat Mr . Finlen had not been correctly reported . "
Mr . Jones is quite right in saying that I had aonsented to be nominated as a member of tho Executive ; but it was under the impression that the " Conference "' was a National one . You will ; therefore , judge of my surprise , when I leant that eight indivicusls had the audacious presumption to style themselves a " Conference" of the NATIONAL CHartek ASSOCIATION . I felt myself somewhat offended , when I found that I had been the dupe of such barefaced effrontery . The Conference and its doi . igs are treated here with that contempt which they richly merit . You are at liberty to publish this letter . Fraternally yours , May 2 Sth . 'Ami ; Robinson .

A public meeting of ths inhabitants of Finsbury was held at the Finsbury Institution , Roy-street , Clerkenwell , 011 TiHiwuay evening , May 27 th , " To take into consideration who are the most fit and proper persons to represent the people of Finsbury in tbe ensuing Parliament . " . Mr . Cameron was called to the chair , and said they were called to ' exercise their rights as freemen , and it was to be regretted that those rights were not more extended—they were met to choose from those who had presented themselves the most fitting candidates to represent them in Parliament . In the field tbey bad tbe present members , Mr . James Wyld , and Alderman Chains . The names of Duncombe and W » kley had been associated for many years , but they were not inseparable , neither were members elected
for life . "Very different sentiments were entertained respecting their two member *; . Mr . Duncombe was highly esteemed by all . ( Loud cheers . ] Os the contrary Mr . Wakley , by some , was deemed disqualified , by his mal-attendance at the House of Commons . Mr . Wakley bad arduous duties to perform at a coroner and editor of the "Lancet , " and a person to be a good mumber should be regular in his attendance at the houses—" Jack of ail trades" would not do . ( Hear , hear . ) All admired the assiduity of Mr . Duncombe , when in health —( immense applause)—not only in the house , but at public meetings held in various parts of the boroigh . ( Cheers . ) -Mr .-Wyld was a man of business , but of Alt'ef * man Chain ' s ? little was . known ; of this he waa certain , it would be a lasting stigma and disgrace , should they allow Mr . Duncombe to be defeated . ( Loud cheers , and shouts of "No fear of that . " )
A . letter was read from Mr . Wakley , stating that business called him to the House of Commons , but if he could possibly get away he should feel a pleasure in attending the meeting . Mr . T . S . Duncombe , M . P ., rose , amidst loud and longcontinued cheering , and said his stay amongst them must be short , a ; his Parliamentary duties would call him hence ; be had to thank them for their kind offer in placing that institution at hit service as a committee-room during the coming election , which he cordially accepted . He perfectly agreed that each candidate should stand on his own merits . Now , relative to any misunderstanding between him andMr . Wyld , U was nothing . Mr . Wyld , at the conclusion of last session , had come to him and said , " 1 ( Jo not know if you have heard the . absurd report tbat I intend offering myself
for Finsbury . " He ( Mr . Duncombe ) assured him he had not , and Mr . Wyld continued , " I could not think of acting so absurd as to disturb tbe seats of two such excellent members" —( laughter )— " besides , I have an excellent pocket borough in Bodmin . " He ( Mr . Duncombe ) had told him he was a happy man to have Bodmin in his pocket . ( Loud laughter . ) Finsbwy was open to the whole world—sho was easily wooed , but not easily ivon . ( Loud cheers . ) lie wished it bad been possible for Mr . Wakley to have been present to answer for himself . Ho could not say that Mr . Wakley was coroner , nor could he deny that Mr . Wakley did not write the articles in the " Lancet ; " but this he could say , if his ( Mr . Dniicombe ' s ) votes were good , Mr . Wakley's were good , and vice versa , for they had voted similarly —( Loud cheers )—and he was pleased to find that
his votes and conduct bad given satisfaction to the inhabitants of the borough . ( Great cheering . ) His health bad unfortunately broken down ' some three years since , and , by a strange coincidence , his honourable colleagues had also broken down , at the same' time ; but , by the blessing of God , it was restored , and , with care , be should be as good a man ns ever ; but should his health again breakdown , ho should feel it his duty to resign his seat , first giving them ample notice in order that they might have the opportunity of re-electing a fit and proper person as his successor . ( Cheers . ) He had a right to suppose that he should get the votes of others than the residents of Saffron-hill , but he should be ashamed of himself could he conceive that ho had done anything to cause him to forfeit the support of the working classes , whose interest he had always been delighted to serve . ( Loud cheers . ) Should a poll be demanded , to it he should go in perfect gooi humour , and trusted to find himself at its head . ( Immense cheering , ) Mr . Duncombe concluded
a most eloquent speech , and after several questions had been asked and answered , a resolution , pledging the meeting not to support any candidate who would not support the political rights of tho whole people was adopted . Mr . Shilliteer moved tho following : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr . Duncombe ia a fit and proper person to represent tbe Borough of Finsbury in the House of Commons , and that it is expedient to elect a committee in this district to secure his return at the forthcoming election . " Tbe resolution having bean seconded , was supported with considerable eloquence by Mr . O'Brien and others . Several questions were put to Mr . Duncombe , who said , with reference to their social rights , bo wished the people to become politically emancipated , and then it would remain for them to declare what changes they would consider necessary . The resolution was carried unanimously , and Mr . Duncombe returned thanks amid the cheers of the meeting .

THURSDAY , June 3 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-The house assembled at five o ' clock . Some petitions were presented . Tbo Representsive Peers ( Scotland ) Bill was read a second tiaeTand the house adjourned , ' HOUSE OF COMMONS .-The speaker took the chair at four o ' clock . Mr . F . O'Co . v . vor was in bis place , and displayed his former anxiety to shako hands with every one present not excluding even tho Speaker and the Serjeant-at-Arms . '
PUBLIC BUSINESS . On the motion for going into Cnmmittoof Supply the CHVKCMitm of the Escii ^ qijeh i = ; vi d it would bo remembered that , when last they met , it was fixed that the adjourned debate on Maynootn should take place to-morrow morning at tivelvo o ' clock . Siuee then , representations had been made t » him by tbe gentlemen from Ireland tbat it would be unfair to renew tho debate then , and upon tbeir representation bo had consented to allow the debate to stand over till Tuesday next , at twelve o ' clock . He appealed to tho House generally to facilitate the progress
of public business , and in doing so he bogged to state that Government were anxious to close the session at the period which all desired , and at tbo same timo to accomplish the important results which the urgent measures they had brought forward were intended to produce . ( Hear , hear . ] Sir J . Graham spoke at some length on the mass ot business before the House . He would suggest that the Government should take till Monday to consider what measures they would press on , and what measures thoy wonM abandon , and having considered tbat matter , tlie ' y should declare the order in which they meant to take them . |
Mb . MATHER . In reply to Mr . B . OsconsR , The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he would lay tho papers connected with tbe ea ^ e of Mr . Mather on the table of tho House to-morrow .
SUPPLY . Tho House then went into Committee of Supply , Mr . Bursal in the chair . The first vote of £ 113 , 470 for the repairs of royal palaces and public buildings , & e ., was agreed to , aftor some opposition by Mr . W . H ' iuums , and a short discussion , in wbicb Mr . Hamilton explained the vaiious ' items of whioh the vote was composed , On the next vote cf £ 60 , 540 , for maintaining and keeping in repair the royal parks and pleasure-grounds , Lord Duncan inquired why there was an excess of £ 24 , 000 as compared with the vote last year ? '
• Mr . Hamilton said the increase wns composed of £ 7 , 857 for alterations ' and improvements in the parks of . Richmond , Busby , and Hampton ; of £ 4 , 050 for widening tbe roads in Hyde-park and draining the Regent ' s-park ; of £ 4 , 976 for the maintenance of the royal parks , which was hitherto defrayed out of the land reveuues . A number more o / gr . mts of money were agreed to on the vote of £ 15 , 190 for expenses of Inspectors of Factories . Mr . Hikolet asked whether any steps had recently been taken , or were about to be taken , to prevent infractions of tho law in factories , as regarded the duration of working hours .
Mr . Walpolb admitted that ho bad heard of infractions of the law in some districts . A special inspector had been sent down to investigate and report . Mr . Bbiout hoped that the right hon . gentleraan had not instructed tbe inspeetor lo work the law in too rigid or irritating a manner ; The inspectors were only too active , and sought to sneak into factories at all hours , Mr , Walpole said it was not his intention to enforce the law more rigidly than formerly , but it wns his intention that it should be observed . Sir J . Ttkell trusted that the agriculturalists in 'Essex would at any rata nsver be found watching the railway trains , when in-( pscfors were sent down , for the purpose of defeating jus ice . The vote was then agreed to . On the vote for £ 3 : 1 , 001 ) for her Kojesty't foreign and secret service . Coi . SiuraoHP said that as tbe money was token out of the pockets of the people tbey had a right to know what became of it .
ihe Chancellor of tbe Exchequer said if the details with regard to what xras called secret Service money were to be given , it would be better to have no vote of such a sum at all . Mr . F . Scully objected to the manner in which this secret service money had been applied in Ireland , as for instance in the " . Birch ' - ' case . Was tbe present government suborning the press as the last government had done ? Mr . . Disraeli had no hesitation in assuring . the lion , gentleman that it was not the intention of her Majesty's ministers to make any investments of tbe kind referred to iu " law and order . " ( Hear hear . ) The vote was agreed to , A Conversation of some interest occurred on the . vote fori tha combined system of national education iu Ireland .
Mr . Walpole having disavowed any interitioe on the part oi the government to supersede the system , The conversation expanded into other matters , partly of a per . sonal nature . At its conclusion the Chairman reported procreas , and had leave to sit again on Friday at twelve o ' clock , Tbe Common Law Procedu . e Bill was read a second tims . Several bills were advanced a stage and tbe house adjourned . ( From our Second Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , Mat 28 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal Assent was given by commission to the Property Tax Continuance Bill , and several other measures . '
Thb Cask of MATnuK . —The Earl of MALMBsnonv gavo for ther explanations as to tho couduct pursued by the government in tbe case of Mr . Mather , and praised Aftv Scarlett tor the energy with which ho had exerted "h imself in tho matter . His lordship denied having ever received tho letter from Pdr , Mather , published in tho morning journals , complaining of the course taken by the government in bis case . Thff whole of the papers would bo laid before the house , and their lordships would then be able to judge whether government had acted in a becoming manner .
THE BARONESS VON BECK . The presentation by Lord Beaumont of a petition from M . Constant Derra do Meroda , secretary to tho late Baroness von Beck , complaining of the baroness and himself having been arrested and imprisoned at Birmingham , charged with obtaining money under false pretences , and praying for inquiry , gave rise to rather a lengthened discussion . The Earl of Debut , seeing the length of time that had elapsed since the alleged occurrence took place , and that an action for damages was pending , declined to sanction inquiry , and The Earl of Carlisle said tbe story was . one of the most revolting and incredible that bad ever come under his notice . Tbe conduct of tho magistrates aJ £ ; permitting the poor lady ' s papers to be taken from her dead body and detained was not the least monstrous feature of the case .
The Earl of Ellesuere said tbe house and country ought to be greatly indebted to lord Beaumont for calling their attention to the flagrant version of English law . Lord Campbell thought it a dangerous precedent to disouss in parliament a question on which an action was pending at law . * . The Marquis of Claxiucardb -said it was a great accusation against the authorities -that this case bad occurred so far back as August , and . -that -no notice had since been taken of it . ••¦• •; . ; . - The Earl of Dbrht said . ; tbat if any public authorities were responsible , it must be-the government of which the Marquis of Clanricarde aud tho Earl of Carlisle were members . Lord Bbaajuoht gave notice of a motion on this subject . Several bills were advanced a stage , and at half-past eight o ' clock the house adjourned till Thursdav night . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-The Speaker took the chair at ten minutes to four o ' clock .
THE BETTING SHOPS . On tho motion of Mr . Stafford , the Commissioners of Police were ortlawd to furnish the house a return of the number of betting-shops , or houses , in the metropolis of London where betting-lists are kept for the purpose of laying wagers on races , & c . ; and a similar return for tbe city of London . PUNISHMENT OF WHIPPING FOR LARCENY . Mr . S . Carter asked the Secretary of Stato for the Home . Department if he was aware that men above thirty year ^ StVage , married men , and fathers of families , were subjected to the degradation of , whipping , as part of their punishment on conviction of larceny or other petty offences ; and ifgtpre was any law or statute tbe intent of which was to authorise county magistrates to inflict tho lash on such persona of mature age ? Mr . Walpole said , he was aware that by statute of George IV . any person convicted of larceny or felony was liable to transportation or imprisonment , or , at the discretion of the Court , to ho oncp . twice , ov thricewhipped .
, MR , MATHER'S CASE . Mr . Osbornjs wished to ask a question with regard to a correspondence which appeared in tho public prints of that day relating to Mr . Mather , from which it appeared that the Foreign-oilico was disposed . to close the difference with the Tuscan government tor somewhere about 200 guineas , being the price for which a British subject was to risk his life in tho streets of Florence , and which he was recommended to accept . Was the correspondence authentic ? 5 The Chascslior of tho Exchequer considered that it would bo extremely inconvenient that Questions framed in
this way should be put and replied to without notice . ( Loud cries of " Hear , hear . " ) If notice were given , his noble friend ( Lord Stanley ) would give an answer to the question . ( Hear , hoar . ) - Mr . Osborsb begged to give notice that on an early day " after the ) olydays , on . going into Committee of Supply he * ° » r cal 1 the Mention of tho house to the subject . Mawooxh . —The Ciiahceuob of the ExcheqihsRi in moving that the House do adjourn until the 3 rd of June , stated the arrangements ho proposed for the conduct cf public business after tho recess ; and with regard to the Mayuooth motion , It was his opinion , he said , that that question should bo brought to an issue , and with that view he proposed to continue the debate on Friday morning next
. A long discussion ensued , discursive in its character and objurgatory in Us tone , whioh was terminated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , who , at some length , justified the course pursued by the government in reference to tbe question . Tub Case op Mr . Muhbat . —lord D . Stuart , pursuant to notice , called the attention of the house to the case of Mward Murray , observing that the answer of Lord btan ' ey the previous day had not been altogether satisfactory . Mr . Murray , he said , was a British subject , tbe son of a British officer ; he had entered the service of tbe government of Rome , first in tbe army , then in tbe police ; he had for some offence been arrested , kept in prison for nearly three years , and having undergone some kind ot
