HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosmt , May o . On the - motion for going into committee on the _^ ° _ffi RS > SvedM _WI « d he _^ mmittedI that day six months . The measure , _£ _^ d _^« who % _*** ralled for-would be a loss of over _** 300 , 000 to thc revenue , and would not give the _^„ _* , _^ t _- _^ rfto the agricult ** ralmto « st , which , in w ,,. ought to be considered in any contemplated te = i-.. turn of taxation . If the measure were to be _Jci * - > _-rd as one of confidence , or thc contrary , in thc _Gow-rnment , he would be prepared to vote that , as regarded the ag _ric-dtt-nal measures of this session , he _"Jadno-Jomidence intheGovernment . Every session of Parliament witnessed new burdens flung upon the
county rate , because in that the Chancellor of the Ex' -hequer had no interest , the whole burden being bar * - *** by the landed interest . He would wish to see half thc charge ofthe _conn-ty rates , anufrom 20 te 50 per cent , of the poor rates thrown upon the consolidated fund , in which case the landed proprietors would have _secmity that tiie Chancellor of the Exchequer would watch over those rates , while the country gentlemen would _atiilbe sufficiently interested to watch over their administnition . ThcEarlofDamouae co :: _* b : ittcd at great length the positions assumed by tie noble duke . The Earl of Malmesbury , Lord Monteagle , Lord Beaumont , and the _Man-iiis of Normanby supported the amendment ; which was opposed by the Earl of _TFinchilsea and Lord Stanley .
Their lordships then divided , and the motion for going into committee was carried by a majority of 3-3 to 15 . The bill then passed through committee , as did also the Customs " Duties Bill . The remaining business was then disposed of , and their lordships adjourned . Tuesday , May 6 . Th-- house sat for a short time , and several bills were forw-irdcd a stage . . No discussion of any interest took place .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Monday , May 5 Thc house assembled at four o ' clock .
CALL OF TUK HOUSE . Mr . _Hoie said he wished to give notice of a call ofthe house oa Friday next . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . G . Baskes gave notice , that on the order of thc day for reading the Maynooth Bill a third time , he should move that it be read a third time that day sixniontiis , Mr . Roebuck wished to ask of the Secretary of State a question with respect to the case of Mr . Carus Wilson , who had been committed for contempt hi Jersey , afterwards brought to this country , aud since remanded . His wife now stated that , since Ms remand hi Jersey , that gentleman had been confined to a felon ' s cell and put on felon ' s diet ; that all communication from outside had been cut off ; that- his wife was unable to gain admittance to him ;
In short , that he was now shut up from all communication with human creatures except the gaoler . He begged to kuow whether the right hon . baronet had received any information on this matter , and what steps he had taken ? Sir J . Graham had received a letter containing a complain * ' almost identical with what had been stated by the hon . and learned gentleman . His right hon . friend at the head of thc government had received a similar one , he believed , from Mr . Carus Wilson ' s wife . Upon the receipt of that letter , he had thought it his duty to send a copy of it to the Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey , directing him to make inquiry into the accuracy of the allegations , and report to him mimediatcly thc facts of flic case . ( Hear , hear . ) In answer to Mr . F . Maule ,
Sir R . Peel expressed a hope that he would he enabled to read the Scotch Banking Bill a second tinio in thc course ofthe evening , on the understanding that a discussion should take place on thc next stage , on an early day after Whitsuntide . Mr . F . Maule urged the postponement _^ of the second reading of thc Scotch Poor Law , which was fixed for Wednesday , until after the holidays , when tbe _opinions of the counties aud town-councils of Scotland with respect to it would he made known . Thc _LesD-AwvocATE would state on Wednesday what course he shoidd pursue . In answer to a question from Captain Rous , Mr . G . W . Hope said that Captain Fitzroy had been superseded in the government of New Zealand , bnt not on auy grounds connected with the charges made against him by the New Zealand Company , or at all affecting bis personal character or honour .
Mr . Escorr gave notice that it was his mtentiou to-morrow to move that thc house be called over on _Thui-sdav . the 22 nd inst .
THE _MAYXOOIH BILL . Sir R . Peel moved that the report on thc Maynooth College Bill be brought up . j On the question that thc amendments be now read a second time , Mr . S . Crawford said , that having presented several petitions against the bill , and being opposed to its spirit and policy , he felt he was called upon to state thc reasons why he and those whose petitions lie had placed npon the tabic objected to the measure of tiie Government . He must admit the hill had been accompanied by other measures of the government which he thought would in Ireland be accompanied by manifest advantage to the people of tbat conntrv _. * He had alwavs been a decided friend te the
¦ voluntary system for themaintenauce ofthe clergy of eaeh _jiersuai-ion , and he confessed he foresaw that this grant must entail on thc government the necessity of making similarly enlarged endowments for the various Protestant Dissenting clergymen and their seminaries . This would create new ties between these persi' _-isions and the State , each becoming pro _tonto a Stat-. * religion . This must invade the purity of tlieir doctrine , and render their clergy too subservient to _itiupoi-. il interests . Nothing should be permitted to interfere between man and his Creator . To require a man who had a creed of his own and a clergy to support to contribute to thc maintenance of any other clergy , from whose tenets he differed , was to impose a penalty upon him for his conscience sake ,
and in this way the conscience of a man might be warped and unjustly influenced . At this moment thc Dissenters were actively invading the Established Church , and it was painful to see howthe Established Church was breakmg down the authority of that great national institution . Neither the regular _Established Church here nor that in Ireland could join in any avowal of what they regarded to be the fundamental principles ofthe Protestant religion . What could be a greater disgrace to a religion that to witness the petitions which had been presented hi that house , _calliug upon such an heterogeneous assembly to decide upou what should be fhetencts and what the lituriyofthe Established Church ! ( Hear . ) The house was composed of all descriptions of religious
professors , not as formerly , when all were necessarily bound to be of the "Protestant faith and doctrine . He could not help asking the hon . baronet thc member for Oxford University how a man of his hi g h Church principles could reconcile himself to solicit such a House of Commons as he had described to settle religious observances and te define what ought to be his creed . He thought he could trace much of the present -schism in the Established Church to the political connection of the Church with the State . If churches were to be supported by the State , full accommodation ought to be provided for all classes ; but no adequate provision vras made in the churches at present endowed or established for the instruction of thc poorer classes
On looking at the records of history since the period of Hie refonnalion , it wonld be found that the clergy ofthe _Statechurches had acted against the civil rights of the people . He considered all State establish ments to be founded in violation of the rights of con-- _«; ience , i * aIi * uIatedtopreventthea _^ niisionoftruth , hostile tof _' _-uthj'Mdunj'MandimpoM was , therefore , opposed to all Slate endowments , and to the connection between Church aud State , lie thought a bill ought to be passed , enacting that all the proceeds arising fron-Uith . es and other ecclesiastical property should be paid into the Consolidated Fund and vested in tiie hands of commissioners , to be by them distributed for the general benefit of religious sects , in such , manner as Parliament should direct . He
would , however , protect those who were at present in possession of tiie emoluments arising from benefices . The sole ground of his opposition to the Maynooth grant was his adherence to the voluntary principle , which he had always advocated ; and as an enemy to any grants for sustaining religious establishments he was anxious that no new grant should be given to any religions body either in England or in Ireland . He believed there was at present a disposition amongst thc leaders on the other side of the channel to deal unfairly with the English people in reference to this subject . Some portions of the English people might entertain a hostile disposition towards their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects ; but by far the greater portion of those who opposed the grant did so on the principle of opposition to Stale endowments , and from a fear that a grant for the education of Irish priests would be extended to large
aud more important objects . Heconsidered religious monopoly to be a great grievance . He wished to see all sects placed on an equality , and that no provision whatever should be made by the State for any sect ; but that all religions should be supported on thc voluntary system ; and entertaining these views he should move as an amendment , " That any provision for the separate or exclusive education of any parti-<*** Iar _* feligiouB denomination , or for the support or endowment of any religious sect or sects by State grants , or funds raised by compulsory assessment , whether aider tiie name of tithes , rents , cesses , taxes , regium donum _, or under any other name or form whatever , is a -violation of the rights of connaence , _detrimental to religious truth , and dangerous to eml and religious freedom ; and that all such wUHmhmentB _, grants , or endowments now in _existfUSt _** t _& _* _- _£ Kingdom ought tobe discontinued _jnt fetisJiWe deky as may be consistent with a due _j _^ _fc _^ ngbfc of those who have life interests fr _WaMxtaeconded the amendment .
House Of Commons, Monday, May 5 Thc Hous...
Mr . Williams observed that the proposition of Mr . S . Crawford was of so extensive a character , that it ought to have been brought forward as a substantive motion , and not as an amendment to another bill . Had Mr . S . Crawford confined his amendment te the first elau _** e of it , he could have supported it ; but the second clause of it embraced too much , and therefore he must oppose it altogether . He then called the attention of the house to the vast amount of public money which had been expended of late years on the Established Church of England . A million and a half had been spent in the erection of new churches ; another million had been first lent , and afterwards given to the clergy in Ireland for the arrear of tithe due to them ; £ 400 , 000 had been voted to the clergy
in the colonies , and of this sum £ 11 , 600 a year was to the clergy of all denominations in Canada . Now , he wished to know why Sir R . Inglis did not oppose the grant of £ 1 , 000 a year to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec , and thc grant of £ 700 a year to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Newfoundland , if he were consistent in his own religious principles ? Surely it could not be possible that Sir R . Inglis withheld bis opposition from that grant of £ 11 , 600 a year , because nearly £ 10 , 000 of it went- to the support of a Protestant bishop and his subordinate clergy in that country . When vast sums to this amount were expended on the Church of England at home and abroad , Sir R . Liglis ought to have seen thc policy ol not drawing the string too tight with respect to the clergy of other churches . When Sir R . Inglis opposed
thus strenuously thc grant of £ 17 , 000 a year to the College of Maynooth , he necessarily called the attention of the Dissenters to thc large sums paid to the Church of England . Last Year there was a vote of £ 13 , 800 for the colleges of _Scotland , and of £ 2 , 700 a year for three academics in Ireland ; and in all these institutions provision was made for thc payment of salaries to professors of divinity . Against all these grants he ( Mr . Williams ) had regularly voted at the timewhen they were proposed . But they were passed in spite of his opposition ; and he now supported this bill on principles of equity and justice . We had taxed the people oi Ireland for our ecclesiastical purposes ; and it was most unjust in us to refuse to the people of Ireland this very small and paltry grant for the education of their ecclesiastics at the College of Maynooth .
Sir R . Ixcus replied to the pointed appeal made to him by the last speaker . He had been asked how he could defend the imposition of a tax on the people of England for thc support of the clergy of any sect ? He replied at once that he did not , and that he could not , defend the imposition of a tax upon thc people of England for the support of any sect ; but he held that the Church of England was not a sect ; that it had a right , both at home and abroad , to be maintained by the State ; and that no sect had any such right . He insisted that he was justified in supporting the payment of £ 1000 a year to thc Roman
Catholic Bishop of Quebec , inasmuch as we had taken x _* ossession of Canada eighty years ago under a treaty , by which we bound ourselves to maintain the Roman Catholic religion in that country . He could not disturb a solemn treaty made eighty years ago ; but , on the other hand , he could not consent to make now , for the first time , an endowment of the Roman Catholic religion in her Majesty ' s dominions at home . He then proceeded te show the fallacy and danger of thc voluntary principle , and to oppose the abstract proposition brought forward by Mr . 5 . Crawford .
Dr . Bowrlso said , that the argument used by Sir R . Inglis resolved itself into this : — " Truth 1 am , truth I represent ; error is around me on every side . I will pay all who will follow me as the truth , " and I wiU pay no one else . " After ridiculing this notion , he proceeded te observe that he could not support the abstract proposition of Mr . S . Crawford , because it was meant to impede the grant to the College of Maynooth . Though he was acting in opposition to the wishes of many of his constituents , he must support this bill , because it was a step in the right direction , and the commencement of a new course of conciliatory legislation towards Ireland .
Colonel Jonssos regretted that Mr . S . Crawford had so worded his motion that he could not support it . His objection to this grant to the College of Maynooth rested upon the source from which it came : if it were double its amount , and were taken from the ecclesiastical property of Ireland , he should give it his most cordial assent . Mr . Hume read the preambles of the Irish Act , the 40 th of George III ., and of the imperial Act , the 48 th of the same reign , for the purpose of showing that the College of Maynooth was instituted for the education of persons professing the Roman Catholic religion , and not for that of the priests of thatrcligion exclusively ; and then asked Sir R . Peel whether he intended to confine by this bill the education of the College of Maynooth to the Roman Catholic
priesthood , or to extend it to Roman Catholics generally . He looked upon this increased grant to Maynooth as a grant to an educational institution , and not as an endowment ofthe Roman Catholic Church . He supported thc bill with great satisfaction ; for he was a friend to education , and was ready to afford it to Christians of every denomination , lie then attacked the Dissenting body for the opposition which it had given to this measure , awl expressed his regret that those who had obtained their own emancipation from the fetters of the Test and Corporation Acts by the petitions and exertions of the Roman Catholics , should now turn round against them , should assail them with the utmost virulence , and should use every influence in their power to prevent themfrom _receiving aa act of justice .
Sir R . Peel observed that there was notning either in the'former Acts , or in the present Act , which imposed in thc State the necessity of providing education at Maynooth for the Roman Catholic priesthood exclusively . If thc State had provided education for thc priesthood exclusive !} ' , thc Roman Catholic bod y was not responsible for that exclusion . The Legislature , when it passed the first Act on this subject , insisted that the College should be for the education of persons professing the Roman Catholic religion only , not of thc Roman Catholic priesthood exclusively . Those who had the management of the College on its first opening attached in consequence a lay school to it , but that school was afterwards
repressed at the request of the Government . Ever since that time Maynooth had been practically a school for the education of the priesthood , and in all probability would continue to be so . He then read an extract from a letter written by Mr . Burke in 1770 , for the purpose of showing that Mr . Burke , at whose advice thc College of Maynooth was founded , was in favour of educating the Roman Catholic ecclesiastics apart from the lay members of that religion . He concluded by stating that , if it were desirable to combine lay with spiritual education at Maynooth , there was nothing in this Act to prevent it , but that he should be deceiving the house if he led it to believe that any intention was entertained at present so to combine it
Mr . HixDLEr defended the Dissenting body from the attack made upon it by Mr . Hume . He denied that the Disssenters had acted with ingratitude towards the Roman Catholics of Ireland . If the Roman Catholics of Ireland had assisted the Dissenters of England to obtain thc repeal of thc Test and Corporation Acts , the Dissenters , in return , had assisted the Roman Catholics to obtain the repeal of the penal laws . He then entered into an elaborate defence of the voluntary principle , and observed that , though , if Mi * . S . Crawford and himself were appointed tellers , they might only find Mr . T . Duncombe along with them in the lobby , that would not prevent him from dividing in favour of a principle which he felt in his conscience to be correct , and which he expected to see triumphant before thc lapse of many years . The house then divided , when there appeared—For the amendment 2
Against it 141 Majority against it 139 The report was then brought up and agreed to . Jlr . _Coanr moved __ the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply . Before the Speaker left the chair , Lord Palmersiok asked Sir IX . Peel whether he was prepared to lay on the table the award made by Prussia on the affair of Portendie , and the different papers connected with that subject ? Sir R . Peel observed that he should be prepared , at an early period , to lay upon the table the official documents connected with that subject . There was , however , a correspondence still going on upon it . He expected , however , to be able to lay it on the tabic shortly after the recess .
After a conversation , which passed between Capt . Pechell and Sir G . Cockburn , relative to thc reappointment of Lieutenant Bridge , of the Cormorant , who , inconsequence ofthe sentence of a courtmartial , had been dismissed the service for using disrespectful language towards one of our Vice-Consuls in South America , thehouse resolved itself into committee . In the committee , on the proposal of a grant of £ 610 , 545 , for the purposes of defraying the charge of purchasing provisions and victualling stores for the seamen and _marinesto be employed daring the next year , a lively discussion sprang up between Lord Palmerston and Sir R . Peel respecting the illegal detention of a negro slave at Surinam , in consequence of an incorrect opinion of the law officer of the Crown at Surinam . It was terminated by Sir R . Peel
promising that the case ofthe negro should undergo reconsideration , and that he should not bedamnined by anything wliich had hitherto occurred . The discussion also extended te the best mode of checking the slave-trade in Cuba and Brazil , and of putting it down on the coast of Africa by a combined effort on the part of France and England to destroy the barracoons _, which appeared both to Lord Palmerston and Sir R . 'Peel a veiy desirable ' measure . The committee then proceeded , upon the same grant , to discuss almost every imaginable topic connected with the navy , but more particularly the best mode of manning our ships , and of providing for the defence of our coast in case of a war . The principal speakers were Sir G . Cockburn , Sir C . Napier , Captain Berkeley , Captain Pechell , Mr . C . Wood , Mr . Sydney Herbert , and Admiral Bowles . The vote was at length agreed to . The Chairman then reported progress .
House Of Commons, Monday, May 5 Thc Hous...
The house resumed , and shortly afterwards adjourned . Tuesday , May 6 . There being no "grievances" to " redress , " no " wrongs" to "right , " and tiie people being everywhere " happy" and " cosiexibd , " the representatives of the "Commons" determined to have a holiday this evening ; and therefore there was " no house ! " Could not the people improve on the hint , and -vote "the house" a nuisance altogether 8 If we can do without" the house " for one night , could we not do without it for the three hundred and sixty-five nights of the year ? What if we try ? Our senators seem to like holidays : suppose the people relieve them of their " duties " altogether ?
Wedsesdat , May 17 . exculpation of mb . mazzini fkom sib jahe 8 GRAHAM ' S CHARGES . On the order of the day for the second reading of the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill , Mr . Bodvebie ( who was indistinctly heard in the gallery ) said , between five and six weeks ago a motion was submitted to that house relative to the opening of letters addressed to persons in this country , and the communication of their contents to foreign powers . In the debate on that subject , the right hon . Home Secretary ( Sir J . Graham ) , in his defence of the Government , made charges against Mr . Mazzini , and threw imputations upon the character of that person which he then endeavoured to substantiate , and which he had not since withdrawn The charge made by the right hon , gentleman against the
individual to whom he alluded ought , as he conceived , undvr no circumstances to have heen made , unless it could be substantiated . The privileges of this house protected a member making such a charge from the responsibility attaching to similar conduct in any other place ; and he therefore thought that no imaginable circumstances could justify any hon . member in making imputations of so serious a nature upon the character of any individual . By a mere fiction , it was supposed tliat a charge or slander of that kind made in this house was not published ; and yet the very nest morning thousands of newspapers circulated the slander in every part of this country — he might say , almost throughout every part of the world ; and in the present case the imputation was stamped with the authority of one of the Secretaries of State , —it was made current by the Minister of Justice of this kingdom . lie ( Mr . Bouverie ) regarded this subject totally irrespective of the evidence by which the charge was attempted to be
substantiated ; and he maintained that no member of that house was authorized , in common justice and fairness , in making such a charge as that made by the right lion _, gentleman ( Sir J * . Graham ) against Mr . Mazzini , or against any person whatsoever . But with reference to the grounds on wliich this charge rested , the only evidence adduced by the right hon . baronet was an anonymous statement in a French newspaper . The right hon . gentleman promised that he would subsequently substantiate his statement by papers , which should be delivered to members of tliat house . That promise was made six weeks ago , and the only papers he ( Mr . Bouverie ) had since received on this subject were those he now held in his hand , in whicli there was not a single iota of evidence to substantiate the right honourable baronet ' s charge . He thought , therefore , that right honourable gentleman would only act handsomely and fairly if he withdrew his charge against Mr . Mazzini . He ( Mr . Bouverie ) had no acquaintance with Mr . Mazzini ; he was not aware that he had ever seen that individual . But tliere were
certain great principles of justice which every one ought to observe ; and every individual , however mean and humble his station , ought to be protected against such attacks as that to wliich he had referred . Considering the horrible nature ofthe imputation made by the right hou . baronet , and the position of the person against whom it was directed—an exile in this country , he could not think the conduct of the right hon . baronet was justifiable . He ( Mr . Bouverie ) had been told , since he came down to the house , that a foreign Government had communicated to an hon . friend ofhis , a member of that house , who was not now present , that they had carefully investigated the charge made by the right hon . baronet against Mr . Mazzini , and that it was not substantiated by a tittle of evidence . He hoped , under these circumstances , that tho right hon . gentleman was prepared to withdraw thc charge .
Sir J Graham . — Thc hon , member who has just sat down gave me _notieeyesterday ofhis intention to mention this subject . It docs so happen , that if the hon . gentle . man had uot put this question ; it would have been my duty , had there been " a house" yesterday , to make a statement upon this subject . On Monday last the lion _, member for Kilmarnock ( Mr . Bouverie ) , and the hon . member for Finsbury ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) , communicated with me , in writing , witli reference to this matter ; and I informed them—what was then strictly true—that I was not at that time in a condition to make a statement which would be satisfactory to them or to Mr . Mazzini . In con sequence of thc question of the hon . member for Bolton ( Dr . Bowring ) _, I thought it my duty , from regard to truth and to justice , to institute—through my noble friend the Foreign Secretary ( theEarl of Aberdeen )—an inquiry
in the quarter where I thought I was most likely to obtain accurate information with reference to this subject . Until yesterday , the information I received , so far from shaking my impression upon this matter , tended rather to confirm it . But , not ' satisfied with the quarters in which those inquiries had been directed , I was particularly anxious that the judge who presided at the trial at Ilodez , and thepublic prosecutor on that occasion , should he consulted ; and at my request those persons were written to . Until two o ' clock yesterday I did not receive an answer to those inquiries ; and , as I have before stated , if there had been " a house" yesterday , it certainly was my intention voluntarily to have made the statement which it is now my duty to make in answer to the question of the hon .. member for Kilmarnock . The hon . gentleman has referred to what occurred when I made the
original statement in ray place in this house ; and those hon . gentlemen now present who did me the honour of listening to what fell from nie on that occasion will remember that , when I came to that part of my statement wliich related to the conduct of Mr . Mazzini , I cited a newspaper . I said tliat my information rested upon authority which was not official , and , therefore , not so well entitled to confidence as that upon which my other statements were made . I fixed the attention of the house upon that fact . The hon . member for Finsbury ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) , _tylio replied to me on that occasion , mentioned a circumstance with which , till I heard it from him , I was wholly unacquainted , that Mr . Mazzini , about the year 1810 , 1 think , brought an action against M . Gisquet , who republished the statement made in the . Vbni ' cui _* , and that in thataction Mr . Mazzini was successful . I do not ,
on the present occasion , mean to refer to any other matters but thc particular inquiries ivith reference to that subject to which tho ban . member for Kilmarnock has specially directed our attention . That hon . gentleman has said , that in thc papers I have presented to the house there is no recognition ofthe statement I quoted from the Moniteur . I think the hon . gentleman has not looked very attentively at those papers , or he would havo seen a letter from Sir A . Foster , our minister at Turin , written at tlic time , to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , in wliich there is a distinct recognition of that statement , But I will not dwell upon tliese facts . 1 am hound " _ to state to the hou . member for Kilmamock'and to the house , that the account I received yesterday , resting upon the statements of the judge who tried Gavioli , and the public prosecutor , in answer to the
inquiries made at my request , are explicit , full , and direct , that in that trial no evidence whatever was produced which inculpates Mr . Mazzini iu the case . ( Hear , hear . ) I am bound , therefore , to state that if I had known at the time I made the original statement the facts of the trial , —much more , if I had known what was the impression of the judge and thepublic prosecutor , who I conceive are the best authorities in this matter , —so far from making that statement , I should hare religiously abstained from doing so . By the statement I then made a publie injury was inflicted on Mr . Mazzini , and therefore now , knowing thc facts I have just detailed to the house , and which were unknown to me then—I think it due to Mr . Mazzini to make the only and beet reparation in my power—which js , that the statement I have now made shall be as public as my former statement , I can only add , that I hope this explanation will be satisfactory .
Mr . T . Ddncohbe . —I am sure no hon . membors of this house would wish any other gentleman to make an apology for , or a retraction of , anything he might have said with reference to a person out of this house , unless they were satisfied that such apology or retraction was just and necessary . I think the right hou . Home Secretary was quite right in abstaining , until this moment , from m aking such a statement as that which he has just made . I think that right hon . gentleman has good reason to complain of those individuals who placed the Moniteur in his hands , for it was impossible those persons could have been ignorant at the time that the statement contained in that paper was a fabrication and a gross forgery . That was well known to parties in France ; it was also well known to persons connected with the French Embassy here . It is impossible they could be ignorant that there
had been a public refutation of all that waa stated in the Motdteur . I hold in my hand the judgment of the Tribunal Corrcctionnelle of Paris in April , 1841 . That document might have been obtained from Paris within a week after the statement of thc right hon . baronet was made in this house ; and it was the duty of those persons who suggested the charge to have furnished the right hon . gentleman with this document . That judgment totally acquits Mr . Mazzini of all participation in the conspiracy . The murderer of EmiUani at Rodez was sentenced to perpetual imprisonment for homicide ; for , as I stated when this subject was formerly under discussion , the Court decided the offence to be homicide sans premeditation . During the
imprisonment of Gavioli he murdered his gaoler , and for that crime he was executed ; and this was the man who was supposed to have been theinstrumeiit of Mr . Mazzini . I am glad the right hon . baronet has made the full and satisfactory statement we have heard from him to-night . I am sure the apology he has made will be satisfactory , not only to Mr . Mazzini , but to the other unfortunate exiles in tins country . If I had not been satisfied that Mr . Mazzini was innocent ofthe charge , I would not have introduced thc subject to the notice of this house ' , fbr he would bave been unworthy of that friendshi p and hospitality which he enjoys among many distinguished persons in this country had he been justly open to such an imputation .
Sir J . Gbaham . —The hon . member fbr Finsbury says this explanation is given at a late period . I am most anxious that the house should do me justice upon this point . The explanation was made at the earliest moment possible . I bave here ja Utter from lord Cowley j

dated thc 2 nd of May ; the answer of tho judge who tried Gavioli and tlic * . papers from the l ' rocureur du Boi _, are dated thc 1 st of May ; and I hold in my hand a letter from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ( thc Earl of Aberdeen ) , in which he says , " The enclosed papers , received yesterday from Lord Cowley , are of a different tendency from those formerly communicated by the Prefect of Police and the Minister of the Interior . " I did not receive them , as I before stated , until two o ' cloek yesterday . Mr . T . _Doncombe . —I did not intend to attribute to the rig ht hon . baronet any unnecessary delay . On the contrary ,- ! said that , unless he was satisfied iu his own mind , he was quite right in withholding this statement . He certainly could not have made it sooner . On the motion for going into committee on the Field Gardens Bill . Mr . Roebuck moved that it be committed that day six months , it being , iu his opinion , a poor law bill in
disguise . Sir J . _GnAUAMhopedthe hon . member for Bath would not persevere in his amendment . The bill certainly required very considerable amendments , hut as its principle appeared to be generally approved of , he hoped it would be suffered to pass through committee pro / onna , in order to have those amendments introduced . Mr . Roebuck withdrew his amendment ; the bill went into committee ; several amendments were introduced into it ; and the house resumed . Sir J . Graham proposed the re-committal of the Physic and Surgery Bill pro forma , with thc view of introducing alterations which ho conceived to be necessary to the ¦ success of the measure . He complained of the difficulties
attending legislation on this subject—difficulties which , if he could have foreseen them at starting , might have prevented him from taking up the subject at all ; but having devoted so much attention as he had done to the subject , he was unwilling to abandon it without effecting some improvement beneficial as well to thc profession as to the public . The right hon . baronet then stated at considerable length the nature of the alterations which he was prepared to carry out , and said he should not propose to proceed furtlier with the bill until the middle of June , in the interim taking care to have printed the proposed charter which it was intended f o give under the biff . If he should not succeed in this effort at a satisfactory arrangement ho confessed he should despair of accomplishing * the task by any future exertion .
After some further discussion the bill went through committee . The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned . Thursday , May 8 . Mr . Parker brought up the report of the committee upon the Scottish Central Railway Committee , to the effect that it was the opinion of the committee tiiat tiie house ought , not to consent to the establishment of a railway station upon the piece of ground called South Inch , in the neighbourhood of Perth . The report was received with considerable cheering .
Sir C . Napier entered into an explanation of some strong expressionswhichhehadused on afonner occasion respecting thc conduct of Lord Seaton towards tho Bandieras . He had since received further information , and was better able to judge of thc facts , and this information led him to view the conduct of that noble lord in a more favourable light than he did on that occasion ; and exonerated him ( Lord Seaton ) from much of the blame which from partial information he had attached to him .
AUSTRALIAN CORN . Mr . Hutt moved for a committee of the whole house to consider thc expediency of permitting grain and flour , the produce of Australia , to be imported into the Uulted Kingdom on payment of the same amount of duty as is now levied on grain and flour , the produce of Canada . The hon . gentleman went into a series of arguments to show that Australia ought to be placed in the same position as Canada in respect to the importation of corn . A lengthy debate ensued , in which Sir Walter James , Mi * . Milner Gibson , Mr . Baring , Mr . Bright , Mr . Ward , and Lord Howick supported ; and Sir George Clerk , Mr . Darby , Mr . Stewart Wortley _, and Mr . Plumptre opposed the motion . Sir R . Peel resisted the motion on the ground that the relative position of Canada and Australia were exceedingly different , and tliat it would be inexpedient to place them in the same position with regard to the importation of
corn _. Lord Howick replied at some length , when the house divided—For the motion 93 Against it ., 117 Majority against it 44 post-office abuses . Mr . Duncombe postponed his motion on this subject for a fortnight , and the house adjourned . Friday , May 9 . academical education in ireland .
Sir J , Graham stated the plan contemplated by the Government for the promotion of academical education in Ireland . Various attempts had , he said , been made to extend the blessings of education to the people of Ireland , and he had no hesitation in saying that these attempts had failed whenever they werc based upon the principle of interfering with the religious belief of the people . In 1826 , and in 1828 , a committee of thc House of Common * recommended separate » eligious education for Protestants and Catholics , the literary education being combined . The matter was again referred to a committee of the house in 1830 , and by that committee the suggestions of the committee of 18 * 28 were adopted , and in the course of * thc following year the present system of national education iu Ireland was agreed to .
In the year 1839 , after its adoption , there were loSl national schools in Ireland , and 205 , 000 scholars ; and at the close of 1814 , the number of schools was swelled to 3151 , and of scholars to 395 , 000 . Ilev Majesty ' s Government were now prepared to recommend tlic establishment of throe provincial colleges in Ireland—one of tliem in Cork , another in Limerick or Galway , and thc third either at Belfast or Derry . He estimated the cost of building and founding each of these colleges at about £ 30 , 000 , or in rouud numbers at £ 100 , 000 for thc three . The annual endowment of each college would be about JEG 00 O , which would include for fhe president a salary of £ 1000 , and for _eaclf of the ten or twelve professors a salary of £ 300 per annum . As he attached great importance to the establishment of medical schools , thc professors would include
lectures on anatomy , surgery , ana medicine . He proposed that the professors should be nominated by the Crown , and tliat they should be removable for cause . This latter power was deemed requisite in order to prevent any undue interference by the lecturers with theological opinions . He proposed that thc president should reside in the college , and that the instruction should be by lectures and daily examinations . He did not propose that there should be any professors of theology ov lectures on divinity in any of the colleges , but the Crown would not object to the private endowment of such professors , subject to the inquisitorial visitation and control ofthe Crown . A question would arise as to whether there should he oue central college for granting degrees in arts , science , and medicine , or whether the Crown should endow all three colleges with that power . On that question , however , it was unnecessary to come to auy
definite arrngement , but his opinion was decidedly in favour of one central college . The question ivas , however , full of difficulties ; one of which related to Trinity College , with which they were resolved not to interfere , It was a strictly Protestant foundation , established by Queen Elizabeth for avowedly Protestant purposes . Mr . O'Connell , himself , in his evidence before the House of Lords , had givonit as his opinion thatthe scholarships should not be given to Roman Catholics . The bill , however , did not propose to establish a university , and it would be open to the wisdom of Parliament hereafter either to endow the three colleges , or establish a central university in Dublin . He then concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill to enable her Majesty to endow colleges for the purpose of academical education in Ireland . After considerable discussion leave was given to bring in the bill , and the house adjourned .

Magnay , wholesale stationers , College-hill , and the parties charged with receiving portions of it , were brought up for reexamination before Sir Peter Laurie . There was an array of legal gentlemen for thc several prisoners ; and Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Hobler appeared for the prosecution . —Mr . Clarkson stated , that it was necessary that the cases against some ofthe prisoners should be taken separately , aud he should restrict the evidence to-day to the charge of stealing against John Ell , tho foreman to Messrs . Magnay , and Henry Corduroy , their carman , in respect to two bundles of paper , value between six and seven guineas ; and a charge of receiving against John Dodge , a bookbinder , residing at No . 25 , Ashley-terrace , City-road . —The examination was then adjourned till to-morrow .
QUEEN SQUARE . Monday . —Attack upon a Police-Constable . —Yesterday , William Rayner , a tall powerful fellow , described as a greengrocer and coalshed-keeper , at 53 , York-street , Westminster , was charged with violently assaulting and wounding Thomas Hickey , police-constable 120 B , witli a poker , and also with attempting to stab him with a knife . Complainant ' s head was bandaged , his face was much swollen and bruised , aud he appeared to have received severe bodily injuries . He stated , that hearing cries of " murder , " he went to defendant ' s shop , and tliere saw defendant ' holding a female by the hair of the head , whilst he firmly grasped a soldier , who appeared to be endeavouring to separate them . Complainant immediately parted them , and defendant went into a parlour adjoining the shop , and after liftiug up the female , defendant
suddenly rushed into the snop _, with a poker in his hand , and struck complainant a violent blow on the head , which felled him to the ground ; and , on endeavouring to get up , defendant swore that he would murder him for coming into his house ; and getting him down again on the ground , kicked him repeatedly , and caught hold of a knife and struck at his legs . Several constables arrived , and defendant , who was drunk at the time , was conveyed to the station . Complainant ' s statement was confirmed by three or four witnesses , amongst whom was the soldier spoken of , who said he saw defendant dragging a female ( his wife ) about by the hair of the head , and hitting her . He interfered to separate them , when defendant dealt lum a desperate Wow on the forehead which rendered him almost insensible . Mr . Bond expressed his intention of committing him for trial , and remanded him .

trial at "the Central Criminal Court for feloniously assaulting and wounding . Mk . Dunn again . —Extraordinary Afiaib . — -Just before the closing ofthe court , Mr . Dunn , the barrister , accompanied by Inspector Forbes , ofthe B division , aiid James Escot , a police-constable in plain clothes , came before Mr . Bond . Mr . Dunn , addressing the magistrate , complained that he had for some timo past been subjected to an annoyance of a most illegal and unwarrantable character . A close watch had been set upon his house , aud wherever he went he was followed by Escot . In order to make sure that this was designedly done , he had within the last week two or three times gone out for thc purpose and taken a number of short turnings , and made various stoppages , but wherever he went this person , who was a complete stranger to him , was close a t his heels . He left his house that day , and had no sooner set his foot
in thc street , than the manjumped out of the public-house facing , and again followed him to various places , and on his coming out of a shop where he had occasion to call , there he was opposite the door . —Mr . Bond : I have nothing to do , sir , witli the arrangements ofthe police . —Mr . Dunn : A man , it is true , may walk through the public streets where he likes , but if he follows another continually in this open and glaring way , thc person so followed would be justified in taking out a loaded pistol and shooting him . —Mr . Bond : I would not recommend you , sir , to carry your view ofthe law into effect . —Mr . Dunn : Have you any objection , Mr . Bond , to take my information in a case of felony ? You have jurisdiction . I charge him with Mowing mc with intent to commit a felony . —Mr . Bond repeated that the complaint must be addressed to the commissioners of police , and not to him . Mr . Dunn , therefore , left the office , but apparently much dissatisfied .
Thursday . — Charge of Manslaughter . — Charles Donnelly , a gentleman ' s servant , was placed at the bar , charged with having caused the death of George Morris , a farrier . —Richard Rcid , a cabman , living in Exeter-street , Chelsea , stated that he was at the Crown and Sceptre , in the Brompton-road , on the previous night , a little before twelve , and saw the deceased and the prisoner there . Deceased , who was intoxicated , grossly insulted the prisoner , and challengedhim to fight , declaringthat he would give hhn a good hiding * , and then having given a dog _Jie held in his arms , and about the qualities of which there appeared to have been some dispute , into the care of some other person , advanced to the prisoner in a fighting attitude . Prisoner struck him a blow on the side of" thc nose , and deceased fell on his back on the floor . He was lifted up apparently more intoxicated than before ,
and taken out into the street , where he was set on the stones , and after about twenty minutes a surgeon who had been sent for came , and said he was a dead man . —Serjeant Mulcahy proved apprehending the prisoner at his residence , who appeared much affected on hearing the fate ofthe mau , and cried . He said he had received great provocation , and had struck the blow in his own defence . —Prisoner said that , on his expressing his opinion that the dog was not very handsome , the deceased becanie enraged , and made use of such language as he should not like to repeat . He challenged him to fight , and said he would trample hiin upon the ground ; upon whieh ho ( prisoner ) told him he had no wish to quarrel , and that he considered it would be very improper of hhn , as a gentleman ' s servant , to fight . Deceased put liimself in attitude before him , when he ( prisoner ) struck him a back-handed blow with his open hand , and , being drunk , the man reeled against the partition , and then fell on the floor with his
head against a person ' s boot . A gentleman named Brown said that the accused had been in his service for a considerable time , and was an exceedingly quiet well-behaved man . Mr . Enabling , of Brompton-row , surgeon , said that he was called to attend the man , and found him lying on the pavement , near tliepublic-honso , quite dead . He had examined the body externally , and found no marks of violence upon it , excepting a scratch on the lip . Judging from the external appearances of the body , he should consider death arose from some affection of tho head , such as concussion of the brain , or probably apoplexy . The stomach was very hard , and being loaded with food or liquor , a blow or fall might have produced apoplexy . Had he not heard of any Wow having boon given in this case , lie should at once , from that general appearances of the body , have considered that the man had died from apoplexy . Mr . Bond considered that the accused had received great provocation , and admitted him to bail to appear agaiu on the 15 th inst .
WORSHIP STREET . Fridat . —Attempted Suicide of an Apprentice , — Charles George _Wilmhurst , a very intelligent-looking boy , 14 years of age , apprenticed to Mr . Fisher , a bootmaker in Hill-street , Walworth , was placed at the bar before Mr . Bingham , charged with having attempted to cemmit self-destruction . —Thomas Goodacre , a journeyman paper-stainer , stated that while crossing the Regent ' s Canal Bridge , in Whitmore-road , Hoxton , at nine o ' clock tho preceding evening he stumbled over a pair of boots , which were lying close the wall , and suspecting that some one had thrown liimself off the bridge , he leant over the parapet , and observed a boy's head rise to the surface in the centre ofthe canal . He immediately hastened down to the bank , and having procured the assistance of a private watchman , they
succeeded , with the uso of a boat-hook , iu dragging out the prisoner , whom they conveyed in a state of insensibility to the Rosemary Branch Tavern , where every attention ivas paid to him , but more than two hours elapsed before he was restored to consciousness . —In answer to thc magistrate ' s questions , the prisoner , in a mild and temperate manner , repeated in substance the statement he had made to the serjeant , and added , that about nine months since liis master had been brought before Mr . Bronghton for his cruel conduct towards liim , and severely censured by the magistrate , who exacted from him a promise that he would treat him better for thc future ; but that he hud sinco pursued the same system of severity , and had recently beaten him with a strap until the blood came . Mr . Bacon , the master of St . Luke ' s workhouse , from which parish the boy had been apprenticed , stated that about a twelvemonth since the
boy had made a formal complaint to the parish authorities of harsh usage on the part of his master , in whose presence the matter was subsequently investigated before tho board of guardians , and the charges having been fully substantiated , the master was reprimanded by the board , and cautioned that a perseverance in such treatment would lead to the cancelling of the indentures . The prisoner was an intelligent and excellently disposed boy , and thc parish authorities werc most anxious to do everything to insure his protection . The prisoner was then discharged , aud handed over to Mr . Baeon , with whom he left thc court ; and just before the magistrate rose , the master himself attended , and on learning the foots of the case gave a general denial to the charge of ill-treatment , and pertinaciously refused for some time to follow the advice ofthe magistrate to cancel the indentures ; but ultimately consented .
BOW STREET . Saturday . —Picking Pockets . —Henry Thomas was placed before Mr . Twyford , on the charge of attempting to pick pockets on Hungcrford Suspension Bridge , on Thursday , thc day of its opening . The prisoner was observed by a gentleman to make the attempt several times . He afterwards followed the prisoner , who was joined by three others , to Exeter Hall , where an attempt was again made on a gentleman who . had been present at an Anti-Maynooth meeting . The gentleman gave aw _ulavm t _*> , a police-omcer , but the parties , apprehending danger , decamped . Next day , the gentleman being in tlic neighbourhood , saw the same party at work again , and managed to get hini taken up by a police-constable .. The prisoner was fully committed for trial . Drunken University Students . — Three rather swellish youths , belonging to University College , were charged with being in a drunk and disorderly state , in University-street , and was fined 30 s , each , or in default , one month ' s imprisonment .

Cullen , in Edgeware-ro » d , The evidence not going to inculpate Wallace , he was discharged ; the other was remanded for a week , in order that further inquiries might he made . Wednesday . — Morality of a Gentleman , — Mr . George Wood , a gentleman residing at No . 25 , Sussexsquare , Hyde-park , attended at this court to prefer a charge against a young woman named Mary Corton . Complainant stated that on the previous day the prisoner came to his house aud rang the bell : she also created a disturbance , nnd upon former occasions she had conducted herself in a similar manner . He was at length compelled to give her into custody . —Mr . Rawlinson : Why does she
do this ? What is it all about?—Complainant : She makes a demand upon mo for money . —Mr . Rawlinson : I must know more about this ; in what situation does sho stand as regards you or your house ?—Complainant : She has nothing whatever to do with my house , and has no legal _, demand upon me . —Mr . Rawlinson : What reason does she give for calling upon you t—Complainant : I would much rather not enter into particular details if I can help it . —Mr . Rawlinson : I must know a little more of the ease , however unpleasant it may bo to you . —Complainant ( after some hesitation ) : She was formerly iu . my service , sir , aud had a child by me ; in fact , she * had two , but the second I don't acknowledge , it ' s not mine . She is paid through my solicitor feu shillings per week . —Mr .
Rawlinson ( to the prisoner ) : Why do you go to the house and cause this annoyance ' —Prisoner : I have two children by him , and the money 1 get won't enable me to keep them , and pay my rent too , —Mr . Rawlinson : It is quite as much as you would have got , if not more , under orders of affiliation . —( To complainant ); Surely , sir , you'd better sec if you can't come to some arrangement with this young woman , rather than expose yourself to the chance ofher continuing to annoy you : recollect that you have made her what sho is . ' —Complainant : 13 hall not think of doing more for her . —Prisoner : If you'll allow me a little more money , I'll not call on you again . —Mr . Rawlinson : I shall now let you go , but if you are brought here any more , for annoying this gentleman , you will not get off quite so easily .
