THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . rag _vraaiiKca of thb _BotjRosoiam A fourth departure of insurgents , 410 in Hwmber , } 6 ft Paris on Monday nigs * week for Havre . Tbey were to have left on Friday night , but the precautioa _jfqiired to prevent tha possibility of any duturbance in consequence of the discussion on the report of the committee on the enqutte , having necessitated the presence of the _troips in various points , the departure was postponed . On Monday _nisht . all the _measures being taken , about ten o ' clock 300 insurgents were removed from tha Fort de 1 _'Eitbound together
, three by three , and were directed towards Ataieres . _Tfl By appeared greatly exasperated , bat not to the ame extent as the men of tke preceding departure . They arrived at Asnieres abeut half-past eleven , and _jelng at once placed io the railway carriages under a pro per guard , were carried away by the train . The other portion of tbe insurgents arrived ia about an hour after , from various points , aud were carried sway by a train which left at half-past one . The _Jodbsai . no Havre , of Tuesday , says : — A new de * tachment of 410 insurgents arrive d this morning at Havre by two railway trains . They wera immediately transferred , under the escort of the National
Guard , on boa d tbe Dirien . One of tbe prisoners a ppeared to feel great grief , and his f ace was bathed in tears . When he was about to be embarked , he , being relieved for a moment from tbe binds which had bound bim to his two companions in _misfortune , endeavoured to throw himself into the basin , but a Gindarme and * . National Goard were fortunately able to prevent the attempt . The departure of the Dirien is not yet fixed . A new detachment of 2 ( H ) insurgents is expected to-morrow . ' Another convoy of insurgents was _eentoa Saturday night to Havre . The Mositbtjb _., of Monday , contains another long , long list of poor insurgents wbo were smuggled away in tbe dead of Sunday night .
tbs _cOHsnrcnoN . In the National Assembly , ou the 29 th alt . , M . Voirhatb _ascended tbe tribune , and read the amended draught of the _Constitution . The first eight articles constitute a sort of preamble to the whole ; they deo _' are that Fiance has constituted herself as a Republic , with a view to advance always to a hieher degree of morality and civilisation ; the _Bepublic is one and _undivisible * acknowledges the existence of , and declares that obedience is due to laws daly voted ; it recognises the _respect due to the church , to family ties , and property ; rejects al ! views of conquest , aud undertakes no war unless for legitimate defence , or to obtain satisfaction for injuries done ; declares that every citizen ought to b *
actuated by love for bis country and by lore frr his fellows—ought to procure for himself the means of existence by foresight and labour . The Republio owe- to all instruotioB Baited to their -cation _, and owes assistance to such as may require it—[ It will be remarkedikatthevigkt of lalour is not guaranteed in _ikepresent draft J—The greater number et the articles— -ana hundred and twenty in aU—are the same as those in the original draft ; but still there are some changes , most of whieh have been already made known according as the bureaux aad committee decided on them . . Tons there are to be only _^ representatives in the National Assembly ; one half , plus one , must vote , to puss a bill . Tho President , who is to ba elected by ballot and universal suffrage , is to present an anneal message , giving an account of the situation of ths Republic ; hia period for remaining in offioe ib to be four years ; and after his time of serving has concluded , he cannot be again elected
before four years have elapsed ; he is to Save a residence provided for hira at tha expense _< ef the State , and his salary is to be 600 , 000 f . f A loud burst of exclamations took place here , but it was impossible to say whether it was at ths sura _beingtoo large or too small ] . Ko foreign forces are to be introduced into tbe territory of tbe Republic without the permission of the National Assembly ; substitutes in the army are interdicted [ this provision , _v-tikh was foand in the former draft , was received with load marks of _disapproija iioD ] . The new draft enters at great ' _lensth into the mode of distributing justice , deeeendmg t aven ti very minute partktlars ; the preau _decfarsd free , and a _ce-rsership cannot under any presort-be permitted . _Immedistely after the vote of the _Constitution , the election of a President is to ; bs-no-ceded to , without sny delay being permitted ; to take place . And then again , without delay , the ! _Assembly ia to proceed to the discussion of toe or- ! game laws required to complete the Constitution , j
_PRCGBBSS OT THE _VTCCTER-KEV 0 I . TJTI 0 ** . -6 c Wednesday the project of decree for the re-establishment of the duty on meat at the rates 6 ! Paris was adopted after some discussion . Tbe & _ssenfbly next proceeded _tc-diseuss a propoatiomf MVWolowski , tending ic atrogate the decree df tie Sad of March last , wm ' oh _& td fixed the duration ol labour at tea boors per day , _% L _PrxBBa Lkbocx , roan a _longaddrea _? , expressive of his admiration of _thebacree in qaestion . _Hs'dechred that he should oppose the bill now breegiit for--ward , as patting an end to a boon loudly _calfedfer by tbe vicious organisation of the present social _'tradition of the people . In fee coarse of his address be referred to the services of Louis Blanc , who , he said , had been driven from the Assembly by a coop-its _enagcrite . { Loud _disapprobation ) The honourable member waa going on , declaring that Louis Blano had been the victim of his enemies , when
_TosPeisidikt _cslltS'himto order , _d'taringthat he could not permit the honourable representative to state , without contradiction , that any act of the Assembly waa tha effect of a coup de _mojerites ( Hear , bear . ) M . Pubbb _Lxsocx- * £ ll continued his enlegima of _tLiuis Blanc , declaring that that eminent citizen then shone byhuab * eneofroHithe tribune . ( Oh ! oh !) Then , alluding to the condition of _the-working e ! a «* es , he maintained that they were iit-treated in _^ France , in _EHgltnd _. ead is Belgium ; that the neglect evinced re _attve to them sometimes atzounted _tobrutality _. _snd _thatsvftj massacres had been perpetrated againBt , them , IHethen argued that to work more than ten hours per day was most deleterious to health , and ought sot to ba permitted . Ha tben
branched eut into an inquiry as to the position of the working classes —( ewe * _, of' question , question , ' maris _~ cf impatience )—and he came to the conclusion that -sufficient time was not accorded , by the present Btate of things , to the working _da-aes _, for their moral and ; intellecYual improvement Tbe Proviaionar Government had , ha said , _promised a number oi-measures for the amelioration-of the position of the-working ( population . The present was oce of them ; and yet here was the present government consenting to have ¦ the short hours accorded to them now revoked , and the old system of servitude _re-established . It was by Association only , he _sanf , that the immortal motto of their forefathers—liberty , equality , and fraternityoould be realised . The State waa now the * roteetor
• cf all social order , which was threatened to _bechanced by the individual efforts of each ofits members . The State should act the part of an intelligent gendarme . _iCtneral laughter . ) Tlie decree which bad'been the subject of opposition -ceald defend itself ; tho laws ought to prevent any attack against tha dignity of a scan as against _hisexistenca . Tbe State was instituted to interdict homicide , and what people could tolerate Each a crime ! A nation was ao -such the Bore civilised and the sore enlightened aaftS established degrees and distisc'ions of homicide . ( Oh ! _« M ) The opponents of tbe decree attacked , asked _what-homicide could be foand in tbe _proposed _measured To that question the honourable deputy re * pliedfb / drawing a vivid _pictoreof _allthe
_ejisfa-tsaes . which bad been _eacsed daring the Iset > 5 fty years-. by the frightful _BKSsacre of what was . _called _vniztbty —{ laughter)—and then proceeded to -point oat tbe excessive misery asd corruption of the work _iagcJasta . ( a voice : Thetis ealarany ); corro ? tion and misety , w hich were he said , the result oi the excess ef labonr . The _hemicide beicg , he said _, proved , where , he woald _askvwere the delinqaentt They w «» to be found everywhere where there were men who _encouraged this species of homicide , caused by tbe excess ef labour . Tbe honourable gentler man proceeded to further develops that idea , hie or gumeata beisg repeatedly met * _viih loud murmurs by tke Atsaa & t _y . After treating the qaestion in s politics ! sod philosophical _poiat of « ew , he declared his ;
intention of _cextcocsideriogitin au economical one ,: but , before eking so , begted to be allowed to rest fori a few _minuter On again _res-nnng , he went back to the state of society under _thejtoman empire , and came gradually ap to the ! present time , and reproduced _bitthesrf of net revenue . { Murmurs ) He made _quotatione from the writings af modern economists—Ricardo , _Malthus , Keeker , and C . Dapin—-and pointed oat tke very liw average wa e . es of the workmen in _France , aad tte expense of their living . Be afterwards passed on to the definition of property , aad thence to that ofeapi al wbich ha designated as tbe abuse of property . The interest whioh the capitalist ' s drew from his money was that whieh waa the _mog revolting to every notion of morality and of
equity . { Loud murmurs . ) Christianity was , he said . « _a this point , ia accordance with the old laws of _Frssee , which applied the penalty of death for saury , iio m ¦ intaited that , if the existing laws _perait-ed sa _iaterest to te derived ftim money , it was a _aJap ' e concession made by the State ; but it was tkat _cnforlonatetioneetsion which was the cause of all the _scierings under which the people laboured . The honourable depaty having now arrived at his last sheet , it was the signal of a burst ef satisfaction from the Assembly ; but when , on his _excluding it , he drew frora beneath the tribune another manuscript , more _yolominoaa tban the first , that satisfactirn was _changed into a general murmur of im-P * _ten : e
; the f _EXiiBXHT announced that the honourable deputy , feeling fatigued , had demanded tbat the remainder of his speech ' _sfiould be deferred till the following diy . . The observation of the President was received with a general exclamation of ' -Vo , no , ' and the Chaster betn ; consulted , decided tbat the speech should be terminated before the Assembly rote . _Theapaakrr attemptedto proceed fot failed to do ¦ _o from exhaustion , and the _Asembly pefsevenug in

refusing t ) adjourn the discussion , ho was compelled to withdraw . A . M . Dorm then spoke against tha Ten Hours decree . Tho debate was then adjourned . Oa Thursday Baron G . Dcpis spoke at great length in opposition to Pierre Leroux . Hia speech _comistedof the usual siring ef fallac ies and falsehoods so often delivered by the rascally political economists of England . M . Sxsahd , Minister of the Interior , said that M . _Alcan had brought forward an amendment which he had previously submitted to taeeovernment . to limit
working hours to twelve hours a day as a maximum . Oat of fifty-9 ight prefects eansalted , fifty-two had sent replies that twelve hours woald perfectly suit tha cue . In _cons-quenoe . the government would acquiesce in the amendment alluded to . M . Leon Fatjchkb ( a friend of Gobden _' s _, ) expressed _hissa-priso to see the Minister of the Interior following in the steps of M . P . Leroux . ( Great noise . ) Yea , he repeated it , in the steps of that honourable gentleman : for if M . P . Leroux _snppnrted a system of restriction in faroar of the classes , M . Senard did the same , though iff a less degree . ( Agitation )
M . GuiBON entered into a defence of the doctrines of M . Louis Blano . The debate waa brought to a olose at the sitting on Thursday . M . Pascal Dot-rat , the reporter , having summed up the arguments brought forward en both sides during the discussion , concluded by declaring tbat though he fully maintained the conclusions of his _report he should propose to send back to tho Committee en Labour whatever amendments had been pro . posed , in order that the committee might examine then maturely and make them the object of a new _repirt . The PaxgiBKsr read the several amendments , and they _ve-e all referred as proposed .
On Friday the Assembly discussed the project of decree for the re-establishment of arrest for debt ab dished by a decree of the ex Provisional government on tbe 9 th of March last . M . Wolowaki com * bated the measure , aa opposed to morality and the interest of trade itself . M . Cremieox demanded the maintenance of the decree of the late government . M . Senard , the Minister of the Interior , supported the project of its revisal , contending that the maintenar . ee of imprisonment for debt was indispensable in commercial matters , although it might in other respects be abolished . In _csnotasion , be proposed that the Assembly should admit the principle , reject the abrogation of the dec-ee of the 9 ; h of March , and refer for examination to the Committee of Legislation the numerous amendments to the decree . A division havine been called for . tha abrogation of the decree of tbe 9 * h of March , 1848 . was decreed by a majority of 455 to 237 totes . The Assembly then adjourned .
The discassioa of ths Constitution was continued _<* n Tuesday . Amongst tha speakers was Pierre Leroux . who at the close of a long speeoh , said he rejected the constitution because it contained no principle , no trotti , capable of disanaing parties , and because it maintained monarchy under the name of a presidency . M . Leroux suggested that the constt tation should be radically amended in its essential pre _eruptions . Jest it should experience the fate of preceding _eonstitotions , and like thera remain a sheet of waste paper _.
THE STATE OF _SOeC . M . Leiohtenberger had _prbpoied to have the state of siege ta \ en off before discussion on the constitution ; the committee on legislation recommended to put the proposition aside . Oa Saturday this question was _tfiscussed , when LedVa Rollin delivered as excellent speech . General Cavaignac replied , and _defended the state of siege as necessary . On a-division , M- Leicbtenber ; er ' s proposition . was rejected by § 29 votes against 140 .
MU , rrAR ? "SBVlEW . _Ptnrs . Sunday Evening . '— The review of troops and National Guards in ihe Champ de Man is the event of tbe day . The number ef troops appeared extraordinary . It is said that there were from 317030 to 80 , 000 soldiers on the ground . The weather was magnificent .

HUNGARY . Letters from _Ptsth of the 25 th ult ., in the _Breblatjek Zsiturq , bear , witness to the sad condition of the Hungarian affairs at _Pesth and on the _ssene of war . Treason , anarchy , and cowardice seem to be the order of the day among the _Hungarian troops . They were twice beaten near Lagerdorf by a body of insurgents of nearly half their number , and fled in a parexysm of fright and anarchy . The oommander of a Hungarian force in the vicinity refused to _promoter to rally the fugitives _, the insurgents have likewise driven the Hungarian troops from the town of _Weisskirchen _, but the bitter , being reinforced by some regiments , returned and reconquered the town , _a'l the _Raitish inhabitants of which were butchered by the Hungarians . Iu spite of all these cruelties , the insurgents have obtained signal advantages , and are daily gaining ground .

_^ _XCIIEIONT IN « OMMBBOUL _CIRCIM . Naw _ffosK , Aug . 20 , ; Sis . P . M — -The past week haa been one of _cohiiderable exoitement in politioal circles , and it has not been without its effect upon finanolal affairs . A few days previous to the arrival of the steamer , the pnblio mind became very muoh exoited in-relation to the anticipated revolution in Ireland , and business operations were , in a great measure , suspended . Quotations for stock _< of all kinds receded , and there was a _« ery general disposition exhibited to -wait the receipt ef further intelligence irom the other side . At an early hour yesterday the steamer wae telegraphed , and immediately after the receipt of . papers , an Extra Herald spread the news into evejjy _seotisn of the city . Politically , the
_iscceunfs were considered by a portion of our popu-«« ion rather unfavourable , and many were evidently _owappomted . It was expected that the revolution _ts . Ireland would hare been in successful progress at _^^ _P'Kture of the Cambria ; instead of which a _ara _^ l hght with a few constables was all that had taken place up to that time . It is impossible to tell m actual state of things in Ireland at the last dates , 88 , u ource 8 * f information are principally English , and _. _jof coBrsejmuchptrfjadioed . It would appear , _oy those accounts , that the revolution was geing Mokwarda ; that the prospect of a general rising of tne people was becoming leas every day , and that the arrest of the leaden would pat an end te the . whole m v £ ment ; but such is not out opinion , as we cannot believe that suoh an extended , such an importantand
, , so far as we can j udge , on the part of the Masses , such a determined movement can be _ciushid so easily . Whatever may ba the intention of the * fe"j . tne people are honest , and if properly led , win ootain redress for the many wrongs hearied upon them . There is evidently seme _contrslling influence at work upon the masses ; whether for ( , oed or for evil remains to be seen . That influence was ' exerted _successfull / at Ballingarry , And wonavenoqoubt , at many other places . It may be that it ia not oonsicered tune yet for the general rally , and the people nave been prevailed upon , by those in whom they have confidence ,-to wait patiently the appointed period ; but they are losing tho most favourable moment , and giving the government ' time to prOpare for tne , worat .

Alarming Accident On The North Weste Rn ...
ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH WESTE RN RAILWAY . Another very severe aooident , resulting in severe injury to several persons and in an immense destruo Hon of property , took place at an ear ! y hour on Tuesday morning near tha Leighton Buzzard station on this line of railway . The circumstances may ba briefly described _br IoIIowb :-rhe Leighton station is diatant from London 40 } miles ; within about five hundred yards north of the station , tbe Linslade tunnel , a quarter of a mile in length , in entered , and about three hundred yards north of this tunnel is tho Linslade ballast pit , whence a large portion of the gravel used in keeping up tbe southern division of " the line is obtained . Shortly after two o ' clook on Tuesday tnornine a train of ballast carriages , belonging to Mr Madieanthe
, contractor for the permanent way , left Wolverton , and proceeded up tke lino as far as Leighton station . Having taken water here , the driver , Martin Cole , crossed from the up to the down line , and returned through the tunnel to the ballast pit for the purpose of taking in a load of gravel for conveyance to _Berhbampstead . There are two sidings running into this pit , and in consequence of neither one of them being sufficiently long to contain the whole train , Cole detached some portions of the waggons , and placed them in the siding , and then returned for the ether portion of the train , left meantime upon the main down line . He had just got back on to tbe main line , and was about to couple his engine to the remaining waggons , when the 12 30 a . m . luggage train , from _Camden-statioD , oame through the _LiiiBdale
tunnel at a great speed , and the next instant ran into his train of empty waggon * , crushing the break van into a thousand pieces , and strewing the waggons about the Hue in every direction . The engine and tender of the goods train were thrown off the rails and driveti nearly on tothe up lino , while Beveral of the goods waggons were entirely destroyed , and their contents strewed about the railway . At the same moment , scarcely allowing time for those few parties present to reoover themselves from tbe shock occasioned by the accident , the York mail came up at its usual speed , and no sienal of the obstruction , being displayed , the driver , Daniel Ross , ran headlong into the debris occasioned by the previous collision . The effeot oi this second collision was to throw the engine and tender of tbe mail train completely across the
downline , and crush , more or less , several of the _Buooeeding carriages . The escape of the driver and stoker waB perfectly miraouloua . The former was , however , severely injured , and is now lying at Leighton , bnt the stoker appears , to have been thrown by the force of the concussion completely over the ruins of the broken carriages and waggons—described by an eye witness to have been between twenty and thirty feethigh—on to tho embankment on the down line , where he alighted comparatively unhurt . The first carriage behind the tender in the York train was a Midland Company ' s break or parcel van , which consists of a compartment at either end for the conveyance of luggage , and a small box in the centre in which the guard sits . This break , as well as the parcels van succeeding it , was crushed to pieces , and Tucker ,
the : under guard , remained buried in the ruins _r-f the former , fer more than two hours in Bpite of every effort made to extricate him . HiB head and _ohest were fortunately at liberty , and therefore , although suffering great pain , his strength waB kept up by administering stimulants until hia extrication waB at length accomplished . The first compartment of the second class carriage whioh followed the parcels van _wns entirely destroyed . A man and woman , with two children , ' who were riding in it , were miraculously preserved . The passengers on tbe train of course all suffered more or less , but no injuries beyond a few -light cuts and bruises appear to have been sustained by any of them ; a fact whioh , when all the circumstances ot the accident are taken , into consideration , may be fairly considered miraculous . of
Feara are entertained that Ross , the driver the York train , has Buffered some internal injury . Tuoker , the under guard , is better than could have been expected , considering the awful position in whioh he was so long placed . A _valuable pointer dog , belonging to a gentleman in the train , whioh was under Tucker ' s care in the break , had its hind leg completely out off by the collision . -Among the ruins of the luggage there was discovered , -shortly after the acoident , a barrel of gunpowder , the top of the cask having given way and dssoloMd its _dangorous contents Ic was described by the direotion as full of butter . Tbe company have a clue to the party by whom it was sent , and it is to be hoped they will visit him with the severest penalty the law allows . The bare contemplation of what might hare been the consequence of this breach of the law ta dreadful .
Refusal op thk Jvet io find a _Verdici . —Yesterday thejury iu this _< ca 9 e reassembled _ at the Town-hall , _Lincaster , when the foreman Baid they bftd considered the case duly and truly over , and could not come to a decision . It rested with the coroner , therefore , to-exorcise h _^ _s prerogative of ordering their discharge , or directing them to be locked up without meat or drink till they agreed , wbich they _haped he would not , think of doing , as then was not the slightest probability of their coming to a verdict , however long they might be detained . The coroner said he was sorry he had no power to order their discharge . The jury were tben given in charge
to tbe bailiff of the court , with the usual caution _. After being inoaroerated an hour and a half , they sent to say that tbey were as muoh divided in opinion as ever , and likely to remain bo . They were then bound over by tho coroner , in the sum of £ 10 each , to appear whoa oalled opon at the next _assizas . It is said thit five < rere for returning a verdict of 'Accidental death , ' and seven for finding Morris , the driver of the express train , _< Guilty of manslaughter , ' oh the ground that he had not used _suffioient caution in approaching tbe station where the acoident occurred . The decision , or rather no decision , of the jury has exoited a general feeling of dissatisfaction .
The report of Captain Lagan , ths government inspector , as to the causes of tbe acoident ( after a lengthy statement of the case ) , thus concludes : — 'By this collision one _third-olass passenger , a woman , was killed on tho spot , and several persons were injured , some so severely that it is feared they may not recover . So many causes combined to produce tbis catastrophe that it is aot easy to determine to whioh to give precedence . 1 should say that those causes were — 1 . The lateness of the express train and its starting ' so soon after the slow local train . 2 . The inefficiency of the signals on the line . 8 The local train not keeping its time and taking no preoaution when they knew they were late , and'that'the express was behind them . 4 . The uncertainty as to who is the rightful possessor
of the line . 5 . The want of a proper understanding between the _Linoaster and Carlisle , and the lessees of the Lancaster and Preston Railway . 6 The rule which allows an express train , whioh often runs at forty-five miles an hour , to _pa-s a station only five minutes after a slow train . ' 7 . The wantofsufhoient station-accommodation at Preston , causing all the trains to the north to start late . I would suggest that the two companies should come to a good understanding _^ and that every effort should be made to determine the right ownership of this railway ; that the signals be immediately replaced by others of a better description ; tint the express be not allowed to pw till tenminates after the starting of a preceding train , and that means betaken to ensure , as far as possible , greater punctuality in the times of starting from the Preston station .

Three Men and Four Women Drowned off the Donegal Coast . — -A fatal accident ( says a correspondent , writing from tbe Cross-roads near Denfanaghy ) took place at Ballinass Pierhead , within a mile of tbis , on Tuesday week last . A number of poor starving creatures went to the strand for Ihe purpose of searching tbe sand for a kind of fish called sand eels ; with which to appease the pangs of ravenous hunger . A small channel lay between these creatures and the sand bank in which they expected to get tbe fish . One of the hands of
a cralt that hy at the Pierhead took the ship ' s boat to ferry them over , it was blowing a heavy gale at the time . The boat being small , wae not able to resist its violence . It sank , and the women so clung to tbe men tbat all in tbe boat with the exception ' of one little boy , perished , including the kind-hearted sailor who volunteered his boat to carry these ill-fated victims within reach of food . All tbe bodies bave not yet been found ; some of the women were the wives of poor men who had gone to ( England to labour at the harvest . —Freeman ' s Journal .
Dover . —Whirlwind . — One of these violent arid mysterious movements of tbe atmosphere occurred at the top of the Castlehill here , about ' eleven ' o ' clock , a . m ., on Thursday last . Its appearance and effects were more immediately observed by some men who were stacking wheat on a farm in the neighbourhood . It arose with a low whizzing sound , though scarcely a breatti of wind was stirring at the time . - In appearance it resembled a white columnar-shaped cloud , and approached : with a revolving motion , taking up , in its course , whatever ! moveable material came in its way . Straw , and
even stones and brick-bats , were whirled about by it in all directions ; and a hedge with which it came in contact was considerably disturbed . Fortunately the slacks and shocks escaped without injury . After continuing to sport about the hill for some ten minutes , the whirlwind traversed a clover field , passed over the South Foreland seaward , and like a narrow white cloud it rose high in the air and disappeared . Contemporaneously with this pbe nomenon , _theieiwas observed near Dealjawater spout , and a tremendous shower of rain fell imme diatcly ' alter . —Maidstone Gazttte .

SATURDAY , Aoo . 2 , HOUSE OF L _011 D 8 . —Thslr lordships met at twelve o _' clork , CoPre * and Lead Danes Bill .. —Earl _Gbanviub mo > e < l the second reading of this bill _. The _Eirl of Debar ! _oppostd the measure , as being a part of tbe policy which , having first attacked the _agriculture interest , and the shipping Interest , now assailed the mining _Intsreet , without their having bad that _satlefaciorj and full _wperlenca of the remits of that policy which would justify them in extending the circle of ltd operation , Ho also strongly condemned tho huMti with whioh the measure bad been _prcs-cd forward .
The _Mnrquis of _Lansdowhe presumed that the nobis lord was not present on tbe _preoadlng day , when , it baring bum uektd if it were intended to renew the _oppoiiiioii to ihe bill , no ariBwer was given , and chat siiuncc led to the inference that farther opposition eras waived _. The Earl of Falmouth tl'oogbt that the hasty course taken bj the government with resprct to the _measure was _suffidtnt to justify bis noble friend in bis opposition _. Earl Gbet stated tbat the understanding last evening was , that tho further progress of the bill was not to be opposed , aud after such an understanding it was nit a vtr ; _dignified course to renew tbe opposition .. As to the late period of its introduction into their _lordships ' hunse , tbat arose from the lengthened opposition the measure had met In tbo lower honse . Lord Wynfobd had been no party to the _understanding referred to hy tbe noble carl .
E _< rl _Gbakville confirmed the statement of the i . oble earl ( Earl Ore }) _relative to tbe understanding ai to the _disuusbiou being taken on tbe former _st ° ge of tbe bill . TheEirl . of Debaet would bave been the last person , had he been aware of tbe understanding , to violate It , He withdrew bis opposition to the bill _. The bill was then read a second time , and the com * nilttee having been negatived , the third reading wbb fixed for Monday . Cm or London _Sewkbs Bin , —The Duke of _Lewstsb brought up the _report of the select committee on this bill . Ths bouse then adjourned to . Monday , at half-past twelve o _' okek . MONDAY , _Shtehbeb . 4 _. HOUSE OF LORDS—Tho Soya ] Assent was given by commission to a great number of publio and private bills .
On the third reading of the Oity of London Sewers Bill , The B « l of Radhob proposed a clause , limiting the operation if the bill to two years . After a short discussion the clause was negatived on a division by a majority of five to four . The bill was then read a third time and passed . On the third reading of the Copper and Lead Duties Bll , Tbe Earl of Moomtcabhel said be should . obstruct the bill by every means In bis power , as a measure Injurious to the national Industry of England and of Irelan _d , . . Tbe Sari ot Faihooih moved as an amendment tbat iho bill be read a third time that ' day sue months , - Their _lordeblps divided , and tbe amendment was negatived by a majority of 25 to 11 . The bill wbb then read a third time and passed .
On the motion for the third reading of tbe Ex _& _eauer Bills Bill , _Loid _MonteaqiiE said , the bill gave great powers to tbe Chancellor ef ibe Exchequer , which it behoved Parliament to watch wltb great jealoajy . He coa ' . d _, at the will and pleasure of tho government , throw either Etchtquer Bills or Stock into tbe Money Market , whioh would be thus most disadvantageous _^ interfered with . The Marquis of _Lanbdowmb admitted the bill to be one of great importance , bnt be believed that , under existing circumstances , no one could objeot to It , They had been compelled to adopt the present course by tbe great indisposition _manife : ted , both within and without the waUs of Parliament , to submit to increased taxation . Tbe bill was then read a third time and passed .
Tbe _M'irq'a ' B of _Lansdowne then informed their lordships that her Majesty would prorogue Parliament atone ( instead of two ) o ' ebek , to-morrow . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Sir W . Clat moved , — That the evidenoe taken before tbe Cheltenham election committee be printed , and took tbat opportunity of defending tbe committee from tho aspersions cast upon it by Mr Craven Berkeley , In consequence of tbat speech be bad placed himself in the hands of friends , but on mature consideration , and r « fleeting that ho had oeen sittiog as chairman of the committee in a judicial capacity , it was thooght that he wonld not . be justified in taking _nottoe of those aspersions otherwise than In that bouse , and in bis character as a member of that h « uie . Ha thought , however , that the honse by soma resolution should express i-. s disapprobatUn of the coarse taken by Mr Berkeley , or at all events , give the committee ths consolatien of believing that in the opinion of the _houss I they had conscientiously discharged the duties which had i beea . aonfided to them .
Lord J , Hat said be bad been consulted by the bon , baronet , and had no hesitation in deciding that his hen , ftlend would not be justified In seeking private redress for en Indignity offered to him when in the . discharge of a pnblio duty . Lord Palmebstoh believed tho bouse would be of opl . nlon that the oonduot of his hon . friend required no explanation to prove tbat tho attack made upon him by Mr Berkeley was _wholly undeserved _. The motion was then agreed to . In reply to a question from _MrfiENLEY ,
Hr Wilsoh said he was unable to say whether ths securities of Sir T .
