MANSION HOUSE . M _vdat—A Kice Mas * . — Avery rough-looking man , - nth a Hack « e , Muie * _Ho » n Manning , was diavgedupo _** .

Witness had just iKfbreaccidenUdlydwppeda small handle which he was _cairving , and picked it up , and the defendant touched him on the shoulder , and said , "Come , youmust tip me a fourpeimv , orruiblowedif _Idontsput uponyou . " Witness indignantlv told him to go wont his business , but the Mow _foUowed . used most abusive language , and twore that he would pursue them till they should consent
to rive him something , as iney round ne was aetenmnea to keep las word , they thought the most prudent course they could adopt was to girehim into custody . —The defendant : Tut , tut Can you , or your wife , as you call her , tell me what that bundle contains !— The comp lainant . - My wife , who is not here , knows the whole of the contents ; but I can name some of them . —The Lord Mayor : Is the bundle your property" ! The complainant : Certainly , my lord , it is . —Defendant : Come , come ; he ' s ¦ ot sworn . Swear him , officer . —The Lord Mayor : He has been sworn . —Defendant : Hot at _alL He has not been presented with the book , I say . Officer , give him the book , and let Mm be sworn , and men let him answer me . ( _Laushter . )—I tell yon he has been sworn . Kow I wish to _kno-. v v . hat have you to say ?—What have I got to say ? "Wh y , I ' ve to say this here . I see a person drop the bundle , had
and I see him ( pointing to the complainant ) that nothing to do with it pick it up . Well , 1 wasn't going to let hhn cut away with the property without he'd tip summut , so I let him know what my thoughts was , and he and his wife turned up their noses at me , and so I said I was Dlowed if I wouldn't stick close to ' em , and so I did safe . — Areyou sober ?—Sober . ' Certainly I am as sober as any one here . They looked contemptible at me because I look like a blackguard , with this here black eye , what I got by my own folly ; but _tlgy wasn't going to frighten me away with that sort of dOdge ( laughter ); so I kept up with'em till they charged me with this here policeman , and , like an out and out vagabond , he grabbed me as if 1 was a coalheaver _. or any other low disorderly charactcr _. and stowed me away . The Lord Mayor remanded the defendant , and thc coimdaiuant then gave indisputable proofs that the bundle was his _lovcperty .
_"We-m-eshai . —A _Jebejct Diddle !* . _lEAESED IS THE Li ** -. —Wm . Perry , alias Wm . Thompson , who was in the mayoralty _« f Sir Win . Magnay charged aud committed for having assaulted , in the most desperate manner , a policeman in whose custody he had been placed for having cheated a _j _. nblican , was _brou-fht before the Lord Mayor . A waiter of the Three Tuns Tavern , iu Mitre-street , Aldgate , stated that at nine o ' clock thc prisoner entered the house , and called for a pint of ale aud bread and cheese , after which he was served with ale and soda water until his bill amounted to 2 s . 3 d . Upon being called _ujion for his reckoning , he coolly said that he had no money , aud that he had just arrived from Liverpool . The landlord rave hhn in charge at thc station-house , and witness saw him assault the policeman who had liim in custody . Wm . Patrick and Wm , Butcher , policemen , stated that fhe ] irisonerhad , after having spoken in the most
contemptuous terms of the City authorities and the police , most riulently assaulted them ( the witnesses ) , and that they were obliged to handcuff him and carry him bound to a _streti-her to the Compter , after a resistance of a most desperate kind , in which he had bitten , and kicked , ana struck _-f » th all the power of which he was master . The prisoner _cross-esaiuined the witnesses with the view of showing that the frolic of doing a tavern did not come within the jurisdiction of a magistrate at all , and that no policeman was worthy of credit who did not know the distance , within a few " inches , between the party charged and tbe complainant as to their position atthe stationbouse _, ne objected and protested against the whole business brought forward as illegal , and argued , amidst roars of laughter , tliat tbe law of the land was violated most grossly in the subjugation of his hands and feet . " I should be glad to know , " said the prisoner , " what degree of force was used to handcuff me f—The Lord Mayor Why , you must know the degree of force pretty well , I should think . —The Prisoner : 1 beg , my lord , to be understood as taking ' an objection to this procedure . You hare
nothing to do with this business . —Butcher ( tlic poheemau ) stated that upon going into the station-house the prisoner flew at hhn like a dog , bit him in several places , and hit and kicked him . Inspector "Martin stated that theprisoner had been charged at the station-house with having eaten and drunk at the Jtitre Tavern , and that , upon being asked why he acted so improperly he cast all the magistracy and the police ofthe City behind him in lan- _^ age the * most expressive . ( Laughter . )—The Prisoner : I caution the witness as to what he says . Mind that , my lord ; 1 caution _thisobject . ( Laughter . )—Witness : He struck aud kicked with the most desperate fury , and we were obliged to employ several men to fasten him down . —The Prisoner : Sow you see , my lord , what sort of a trumped up ease this is . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Tes ; I see quite clear enough , to call upon you to find bail , yourself in £ 30 , and two sureties in £ 10 each , to meet tliis " charge at the sessions , and to direct tbe City solicitor to prosecute you . —The Prisoner : My lord , I protest _a-siinst tMs course altogether . ( Laughter . )—The prisoner was theu committed to prison ,
WOESHIP-STBEET , _TcEsniT . — -The _Notomous Sheen . —William Sheen , thc man who was tried some years since at the Old Bailey for the murder of his cliild by cutting its head off , but escaped conviction by an informality in the indictment , was placed at the bar before Mr . Bingham , charged with assaulting and threatening the life of Mr . Conrad Beuhlcr , landlord of the ( _Sty of Norwich public-house , in Wentworth-street , WhitechapeL—The complainant stated that he had been appointed one of the executors of the will of the prisoner ' s mother , who died four years ago , possessed of considerable property , for a large portion of which the prisoner had anticipated he would be left a legatee ; but , having been disappointed in his expectations , the testatrix bequeathing the whole of her property among the rest of her children , and wholly excluding the prisoner , the latter bad ever since exhibited the strongest hostility towards
the witness , whom he wrongly concaved to have been in some measure tiie cause ofhis disappointment , aud had becu in the constant habit of using the most violent language towards him . On the 23 d of January last the witness was behind bis bar when the prisoner passed through the house into the tap-room in an excited state , and bad no sooner entered the room than he began to harangue tlic persons assembled there in the most threatening language in reference to witness , whom he , swore that he would butcher before be left the house . The people in the room tried every i _» ersuasion to appease him , but only with the effect of increasing his threats and violence , and at last , declaring with an oath that he would instantly go out and rip the witness up , he rushed out ofthe tap-room to the front of the bar , and snatchingfrom his pocket a penknife , opened it , and made a desperate stab at the witness ' s bodv . The blow was so forcible , that had it taken
effect it most probably would have been attended with fatal consequences ; but witness fortunately caught a _glim-ise of the action , and by hastily throwing himself back escaped it , and the prisoner again ran into the taproom . A policeman was instantly sent for , but before one could be found tbe prisoner had effected bis escape , and , _alQioush a warrant had been issued for his apprehension , be had succeeded in evading it until the preceding day , when he waS met accidentally , and taken into custody . — Mr . Vann . the prisoner ' s solicitor , stated that ever since thc unfortunate transaction for which his client had been tried at the Old Bailey , he had been pointed at and subjected to such an intolerable series of persecutions , that the prisoner had been driven to habits of intoxication , and
was kept in a continual state of intense excitement It was while labouring under the influence of these sensations , that * he had acted as had been described upon the present occasion , and he exceedingly regretted having done so , -as he could assure the magistrate the prisoner bad uo wish or intention to inflict any injury upon the complainant . —Mr . Bingham having been informed that the prisoner was the owner of four houses , producing him a rental of £ 70 per year , said , that afterthe evidence be bad heard of his violent conduct and habits , be felt it necessary to insure tiie complainant ' s protection , by requiring tie prisoner to put in bail to the amount of £ 50 , and enter into Ws own recognisance in £ 100 , to keep the peace for the next twelvemonths . —The bail was produced in the course of tiie afternoon , and the prisoner liberated .
MA 3 XLSBOSE . _Tcesdat . — _BOBBEBIE 8 AT THE _POLTTECIIMC AND _Adllaide _Gveijlmes . —Eliza Johnson , alias Smith , a woman about fifty years of age , was placed at the bar before Mr . Long for re-examination , on the charge of having stolen two ivory busts , ona of which was a striking likeness of her Majesty Queen Victoria , having upon the pedestal thereof a thermometer ; and the other was a bust , phreuologically marked . Both of them were taken from the Polytechnic Institution . There was a second charge now preferred against the prisoner , for stealing seven Daguerreotype portraits , in morocco cases , from the Adelaide Gallery . These articles had been traced to the pawnbroker ' s . As the evidence was not quite complete as to the ceond charge , tiie prisoner was again remanded .
_FaniAT . _—SCuEDEiious Assault . —Charles Lindsey , a horsekeeper , employed at Hanson's stables , King-street , Portman-square , was placed at the bar before Mr . Long , charged with having committed a most murderous assault upon Harriet , bis wife . Banister , 85 D , deposed that on tbe same morning , about one o'cloek , in consequence of nformation communicated to him thatthe prisoner had dreadfully ill-treated bis wife , he repaired to 11 , Croydon-street , Lisson-grove , where the parties lodge , and on entering tiie passage be met the poor woman , whose bead and face were cut in a shocking manner ; she was covered with blood , and was crying out , "O , God ! what shall I do V The prisoner who was in his apartment up stairs , said it served her right , and on witness going into the room , he asked him ( prisoner ) how he could think of using his wife so cruelly , but be made no reply to the question . He was then taken to the station-house , and the prosecutrix , notwithstanding the horrible usage she had received from him , was very reluctant to press the charge against him . Witness added that be assisted tbe sufferer to the residence of
Mr . Tickers , surgeon , in Baker-street , when her wounds were dressed , and she was afterwards removed to her home in a most deplorable condition . The leg of a table with which the poor creature bad been attacked was here produced : there was a portion of hair adhering to it , and numerous marks of blood . "The room , " said witness , " bad the appearance of & slaughter house "—Other witnesses corroborated this statement , and the magistrate directed the _irife to be brought up . It was with much difficulty thc poor woman could be pre vailed upon to say anything against her brutal partner , but she at length admitted that he struck her with Ms fists , kicked her and beat her about with that part of the table of which tbe constable took possession . She added that a quarrel had taken place , and perhaps she was in fault as well as her husband . Mir . Long observed that the outrage was one of a most serious and lamentable description , and that it was his duty to send the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court
LAMBETH , Ta * asn » T . —A Novei Wat of Gettihe Ou > Debts . — WiBiain H-nding , the foreman of Mr . Shillibeer , the proprietor of the patent economic cemetery funeral cartiages , and Richard Packer and Jo-dab Mumford , mutes in tiie same employment , were charged with creating a _™ t _Mdolgtui-bance at the dwelling-house of Mr . Joseph _r- _** _- _* _- _** _* _™ Woolley , ironmonger , of No . 8 , Apollo-buildings , _A- ut _^ teeet , Walworth , The comp _* lainant , a -onddle-aged man , otrespertable appearance , stated that about half

past six o ' clock on the evening before , the prisoners Packer and Mumford , who were in the sable costume of mutes , came to his house , and placed themselves at his door , one standing on each side . Holding , who had come with them , knocked at the door aud demanded money ; and , upon his refusing to comply with his request , be called him a swindler repeatedly , and he was obliged ultimately to send for the police and give them into custody . In reply to the questions of Mr . Norton as to the cause of the prisoners acting in so extraordinary a manner , the complainant said that in January last hebad engaged Mr . Sbillibeer to bury his mother , aud had also agreed to pay him the money in a few days after if he called ; but though applications had been made for the amount , £ 6 16 s . 6 d ., circumstances had prevented Mm paying it up to the present time . Mr . Shillibeer said he bad repeatedly sent for the amount of his bill , £ 6 16 s . 6 d ., and was as often put off ; and , believing it nottobe the intention ofthe complainant to pay it if he could , he had told his men , when they went on business into the neighbourhood , to give him a gentle call . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Norton thought it wrong that the defendant should have turned their serious calling to so ludicrous a purpose , but , under all the circumstances , be should dismiss the case .
WANDSWORTH . _SiTOBDiv . — The Advastace or Electbic _Teieobaphs . —Elopement asd Bobbebt . —Robert Lane , a man about 35 years of age , dressed as a seafaring man , and Amelia Spencer , a young woman of considerable personal attractions , were placed in the dock before Mr . Clive , charged with stealing the sum of £ 37 ls . 6 d „ the property ofthe father of the female prisoner . The apprehension of the prisoners may be attributable solely to the electric telegraph on the South-Western Railway being brought into application , as thc guilty parties had left Gosport some time when information of the robbery was brought to the station . —Mr . Dalby , the superintendent of the South-Western "Railway police , stated , that on Friday afternoon , about three o'clock , he received information from the telegraph office at Nine Elms ihat a robbery had been committed at West _* nd , South Stoneham , near Southampton , and that the accused parties were in the
train that left Gosport at half-past twelve o ' clock . A personal description of the parties accompanied the communication . Witness procured the assistance of Serjeant Eramersoii , 16 V , and when the train arrived , at half-past three o ' clock , the prisoners werc taxed with stealing the sum of £ 37 odd , and taken into custody . They seemed thunderstruck at finding that tho _robbary was alrca < l > - _known in Loudon , and that their arrival had been anticipated . — Serjeant Emmerson stated , that upon searching the male prisoner at the station-house he found two purses on him , one containing £ 31 in gold , and the other 7 s . — Superintendent Dalby = aid the young woman admitted at the station that she hud taken the money ; that she met theprisoner at Bishopstoke , went from thereto Gosport , and from thence to London , and that on the road she gave the male prisoner the whole of tbe money . A letter was found upon her person from the male prisoner , asking her to elope with him , and stating that he had rot a house
ready for her . It appeared from what had since transpired , that this man was married and had a numerous young family . —The prisoner Lane said he knew nothing about the money ; he left Bishopstoke on the preceding morning for Gosport , with the intention of proceeding to Chatham . When he got to Gosport he met Miss Spencer , who said she was going to Loudon , and he agreed to go with her . She paid tbe fares , and had , as he thought , only a few shillings left ; but when they got within a few miles of London she gave him £ 31 in gold , stating that it was money she had drawn from the savings-bank . —The female prisoner here exclaimed , " Thatis not true , Robert ; I told you at Gosport I had taken it from my father , and you said , ' Well , we had better go on to London . ' "—Mr . Clive observed that the case must go for trial , and liaving consulted with Mr . Fletcher , the chief clerk , ultimately decided tbat the prisoners must be removed into Hampshire .
SOUTHWARK . _TuEsoAr . _—Disgkaceful Assault . —William Ogau , a farmer , of Smesby , Leicestershire , was brought before Mr . Trail , charged with committing an assault on Keziah Sanderson , in one of the Brighton Railway carriages . The complainant , a modest , respectable-looking young woman , stated that she lives servant in a family iu _Euston-square , and that she had been at Brighton to visit her relatives . On the preceding afternoon she took a place in one ofthe third-class carriaees , to come to town , the defendant being a passenger in the same vehicle . On the journey tlte defendant entered into conversation with her , and , after sometime , he began to conduct himself towards her in such a manner that induced her to move away from tliat part of the . carriage where she was sitting to avoid his familiarites . He , however , followed her , and as the train
was passing through one of the tunnels , he caught her round the waist , but she pushed liim away . Still , however , he persevered in annoying her , until his behav ' our attracted the notice of persons sitting in the same carriage , one of whom , a young man , spoke to the defendant on the impropriety of his behaviour towards an unprotected young female , and advised her to give him into custody as soon as an opportunity presented itself , which advice she availed herself of when tbe train arrived at the terminus . The Magistrate inflicted a fine of 40 s . on the defendant , who expressed his inability to pay it , having exhausted his cash in France , having only barely sufficient to take him down to his farm in "Leicestershire . Mr . Trail said the defendant ought to have thought of that before he committed such an offence , and he was then locked up iu default of paying the fine .
THAMES . _WEnsESOAT . —Extensive PLCNnER . —A Whole Fahilt is the Dock . —Henry Jolly , William Jolly , his father , and Mary Anne Jolly , his sister , were p laced at the bar for re-examination , charged , the first witli stealing , and tbe two latter with receiving , a vast quantity of silks , serges , kerseymeres , alpacas , buttons , trimmings , and a variety of other articles , the property of Mr . John Newling , tailor and draper , of 21 , Sydney-place , Commercial-road . As the case proceeded it was found that Phoebe Jolly , mother to the two younger , and wife to the elder prisoners , was also involved iu the charge of
receiving , and she was instantly transferred from the hall ofthe court to the dock . It appeared that the younger male prisoner , Henry , had , up to Saturday last , been hi the prosecutor ' s employ as errand-boy for the previous fourteen months , and daring the whole of that period he had pursued a systematic and extensive plan of plunder , countenanced and aided by tiie other members of his family . After hearing the evidence , Mr . Broderip said the case was clearly made out , and be was prepared to commit the prisoners ; but as the seijeant who had the conducting of it thought he could discover more property the prisoners should be brought up again on Tuesday next

House Of Lords, Mosday , May 19. Lord Br...
HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosday , May 19 . Lord Brough ah then rose to lay upon the table a series of bills for the amendment of the civil and criminal jurisprudence of tbe country . After referring to the amendments that had been made in tbe various departments of the law since 1828 , bis lordship pointed out the many defects that still existed , and which imperatively called for some remedy . IVith regard to the transfer of property there was , under the present system , such an endless prolixity in every deed of sale , that independently of the enormous expense entailed upon the parties , there was great and pressing danger of some error or omission wliich would vitiate the whole . He proposed to introduce a bill which would contain a short form , uuder which property could be legally and safely transferred ; another bill with regard to leasehold property ; and a third which would embrace thc whole subject of mortgages , and place it upon a more equitable and intelligible
footing . The next point to which be would address himself was the admissibility of evidence in courts of justice , with regard to which several amendments had been lately introduced . He proposed to go a step _furthtr , and to give a power of examining the parties in the cause themselves , under certain limitations and restrictions . He proposed also to introduce a bill to assimilate the law of England to that of Scotland in the case of declaratory actions , and a bill to enable the Crown , by order in council , to appont certain central counties for which commissions should issue four times in the year , and to which criminals from other counties might be sent for trial . He also proposed a bill for amending the law of marriages , and one for securing the independence of Parliament by preventing bankrupts or insolvents from sitting therein . At a future period it was his intention to submit a bill for a general _registration of the titledeeds of estates .
After a few words from Lord Campbell , the bills , nine iu number , were severally read a first time .
Tuesday , May 20 . GAHE LAWS . Lord Campbell presented three petitions from Dunfermline , Cupar , and Kirkaldy , complaining of the Came Laws . The first grievance of which the petitioners complained was that the present system of the Game Laws was most oppressive to tenant-farmers . He ( Lord Campbell ) could not concur in the sentiments ofthe petitioners in that respect , as he thought the question of the Came Laws was not in the slightest degree a question between the landlord and his tenants . The land was sold by contract , and the law would provide for the rights over the game that the landlord was to enjoy . It was , therefore , the fault of the tenant himself if he did not stipulate for that protection which he thought was necessary for the
proper cultivation of his farm . There seemed to have been a great deal of delusion and unfounded clamour on this subject , and that the landlords had been very unjustly accused of oppression . It bad also been said tbat the system prevailing in this country for the preservation of game xras similar to ihat which prevaile / 1 in France before the revolution . But he thought that if all the Game Laws were swept away at once , the same system would stUl prevail between landlords aud tenants . The landlord would say to the farmer "I will not let my farm unless the game is reserved to me , and you will undertake that it shaU feed , unmolested , in the fields . " The farmer might then say , " I will not take the farm on those terms , nor unless you vriU give me compensation for the injury that wiU be done to me by the game . " The petitioners next complaiued that the community suffered from the Game Laws . On that poiut he entirely agreed ivith them . As the crime of poaching became more frequent , as there were so many convictions ,
so many encounters between keepers aud poachers , and so many murders committed , it must be allowed that the attention of Government should be directed to the subject , to see whether some amendment could not be provided _. It was a growing evil . In 1811 there were 3000 game convictions , but the annual number now reached to nearly 5000 . In the ten years between 1833 and 1843 there were forty-two instances of homicides in encounters between poachers and gamekeepers , and there were twenty-five convictions for murder . The evil arising from the offence of pouching must be considered of the most serious and alarming nature , not only as regarded individual suffering , but also the ill-will that was excited between one class and the other . He should not wish any law to be introduced that should interfere with the fair enjoyment of field sports ; but he thoug ht that some remedy should be adopted to effectuaUy prevent poaching , or the temptation to poaching , and much might be done to effect that by kindness of manners and good feeling .
Lord Dacbe said that in 1816 he moved in the other House of Parliament for thc appointment of a committee to inquire into the condition and general character of the Game Laws . The result was a report which established the doctrine that the property in game was in the owner of the soil " ratkne soli , " and that when the game was off the soil it was no longer the property of the original possessor of the land unless it bad been followed by what was called a " recent pursuit . " The report of the committee was the groundwork ofthe biU the 1 and 2 Will . IV ., which he should be most happy to amend . He felt strongly the position in which the Game Laws were now placed , and he imagined he had found remedies wliich would mitigate the mischiefs that the country at present suffered , and more especially its agricultural population . It was impossible to prevent poaching so long as the sympathies ofthe people were not marching with them , and they would not be so until they proved to them the true character of game . When thepeople knew that , a good end must result .
Lord Hatherton never approved of the Game Laws ; and although the bill of 1831 had done much , still much remained to be done . He regretted that his noble friend ( Lord Dacre ) had not thrown out a suggestion as to the best principle of dealing with the subject . He thought that much of the present mischiefs might be removed , if the law which made hares game were repealed , for nineteen out of twenty of the commitments to gaols were for snaring hares ; the number committed for taking partridges and pheasants was very small . The preservation of hares was now carried to so great an extent that he could scarcely tliink any one of tlieir lordships , however much addicted to field sports they might be , could hesitate to admit that some legislative measure was necessary to ( in some degree ) check the practice . After some other "talk" of no importance , their lordships adjourned . Thursday , May 22 .
Lord Beaumont moved for papers connected with recent events in Greece , which the Earl of _Aberdecn" ] said were of no public interest , and declined to produce . The motion was consequently withdrawn . The Lord Chancellor then moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts BUl , and detailed at some length its provisions . After a few words from Lords Brougham and Cottenham , who gave their assent to the measure , on the understanding that the bill would be referred to a select committee , the bill was read a second time , and referred to a select committee up stairs . FMOAr , May 23 . MAVNOOTH BILL . On the motion of the Duke of Wellington this bill was read a first time , and the second reading fixed for Monday , the 2 nd of June . The remaining business was of no importance .
House Of Commons, Monday , May 19
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Monday , May 19
TEE MAINOOTH BILL . On thc motion that the Maynooth Endowment Bill be read a third time , Mr . Ewaet moved an amendment recognising the voluntary principle , and _objecting to the making any religious denomination dependent on the State . Mr . MifmAND seconded the amendment , and protested against the increase of religious establishments while such an anomaly as the wealthy Protestant Church of Ireland existed . The amendment uot having met with any other supporter , Mr . Ewart declined to go to a division , and the amendment was consequently withdrawn .
Mr . Bankes then moved thatthe bill be read a third time that day six months . ' He contended that Ministers were acting upon deceptive information , and would deceive their Sovereign if they advised her giving her assent to a measure which was opposed to the Protestant constitution of that country . He feared the result of the present measure would be not only fatal to the Irish Protestant Church , but lead to the possibility of a Catholic successor to the throne . It was said at the battle of the Boync , " Change your kings , and we will fight the battle over again ; " and he would say to her Majesty ' s Ministers , " Change your Parliament , and we will contest thc measure over again . " Sir R . Inglis seconded thc amendment . Mr . _M'Geachv , in supporting the third reading of the bill , pointed out the benefits which it was calculated to confer upon the people of Ireland , and refuted the arguments used by Mr . Bankes against the measure .
Mr . Mangles and Mr . Escott also spoke in support of thebiU . Mr . Spooner repeated his former argument , that the question was not one of money but of principle , and made an impassioned appeal to the house to reject the bill . Mr . C . Buller regretted to find Mr . Spooner opening up a theological question which was a very inappropriate subject for discussion in that house , and appealing to the religious prejudices of hon . members by picking out the most offensive phrases in the _Thirty-nine Articles , for the purpose of insulting their Roman Catholic brethren . He congratulated the Government upon the improved policy they were adopting towards Ireland , and thought every friend to the union between the two countries ought to give the present measure , as weU as that for the extension of academical education in Ireland , their cordial support .
Sir V . Blake also eulogised Sir R . Peel for the measures he had lately brought forward with regard to Ireland . Lord Ingestre had voted against the former grant to Maynooth because he thought it too insignificant to be productive of any benefit ; but he should vote in favour of the present measure , believing that it would promote the best interests of this country and of Ireland , Mr . L awsok moved the adjournment of the debate , and after some discussion the motion was agreed to , and shortly afterwards the house adjourned .
Tuesday , May 20 . the ta 1 u meeting . Mr . Ferrand wished to put a question to the right hon . baronet at the head of the Home Office relative to what was announced as about to take place in Ireland . He found in the Freeman ' s Journal , ofthe 13 th May , a sort of programme of the demonstration which was to take place at Tara on Thursday . The journal went on to say , that thc demonstration was intended as a hint to the Ministry , and that the object which prompted this demonstration in 1845 was thesame whicli , in 1813 , had crowned the heights of Tara with a million of men . All the counties were stated to have made preparations for this forthcoming demonstration ; and it was expected there would be no part of Ireland that would be inadequately represented . He wished to ask the right hon . baronet whether it was his determination to assert the majesty of the law , and prevent this monster meeting , or whether it was his intention to allow Mr . O'Connell and the Repealers of Ireland to trample the law under foot ?
Sir J . Gbaham replied he was aware of the probability of a great assembly of the people of Ireland occurring , and iu answer to the lion , member ' s question he had to say , that the Lord Lieutenant had received directions from her Majesty's Government to take care that the peace of Ireland was preserved , in accordance ivith thc law as it at present existed . A motion , brought forward by Mr . Been al Osborne , for a return of all the monies derived from rents or college lands , endowments , bequests , fees on matriculation and taking of degrees , and the amount of income paid therefrom to the senior and junior fellows , professors , scholars , and other officers of Trinity College , Dublin , gave rise to some discussion , the hou . gentleman refusing to postpone his motion unless he was assured of another opportunity of making it . Sir T . Fbeicantle opposed it , as being an interference with private property ; and
Sir R . Peel also expressed his determination to resist the motion . On the opposition side , it was urged by Mr . Sheil , Lord J . Russell , and others , that Trinity College being founded by the Crown , and endowed with confiscated property , it was competent to the house to call for the information . The motion was , on a division , negatived by 82 to 53 .
the _HAVNoorn bill . The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir H . W . Barbon , who complaiued of thc misrepresentations and slander that had been cast upou tbe Roman Catholics during the discussions upon the Maynooth Bill , and which had been productive of a violent opposition to the measure in that country , and had created much exasperation and ill feeling in Ireland . Mr . Lawson believed that he would be betraying the interests of the Established Church if hc did not vote against the present measure . In the part of the country which he represented the general feeUng of both churchmen and dissenters was against the grant .
Mr . _CnoLMONDELEr believed the object of the bill was to raise the standard of the Irish priesthood , and therefore to lessen the chances of the propagation of error . He denied that it could be considered in the light ofa sop to the Repeal agitatum ; itwas given unasked for , and at a great sacrifice of popularity , as being imperatively required by the present circumstances of Maynooth College . He was satisfied that the rejection of this measure would put a stop to all the great plans of improvement which were at this moment in operation in Ireland . Mr . _Ffolliott said the recent declarations of the leaders of the Irish people clearly showed that they felt no gratitude whatever for the grant ; that they considered it as merely extorted from the fears ' of the Government , and that it would merely encourage them in renewed agitation and increased demands . Sir » . N orreys , Mr . Godson , Colonel Rawdon , Mr . GaskelL and Mr . Bellew supported , and Mr . Law opposed the bill .
Sir R . Inolis after admitting that the subject had been completely exhausted , said he felt it necessary to state briefly the grounds that induced him to vote against the measure . It was quite clear that the bill did not satisfy the Roman Catholics of Ireland , while it was equally certain that it would alienate the Protestants of the empire from the present ministry . He believed tho measure was bad in itself , and that it would be worse as the commencement of a series , and should therefore give it his most strenuous opposition . Col . Yerner moved the adjournment of the debate , which , in a division , was negatived b y 180 to 106 . The gallant colonel then moved that the house do now adjourn .
After a few words from Lord J . Russell , and a remon strauce from Sir R . Peel , the debate was again ad journed _.
House Of Commons, Monday , May 19
_WeDXESOAY , _MaY 21 . The house met at four o'clock . The Lord Mayor of Dublin appeared at the bar in his civic State robes , accompanied by the town-clerk of Dublin , and presented a petition from the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Common Council of Dublin , praying that the Hibernian Joint Stock Banking Company might be included in the measure relating to joint stock banks ,
G 1 UNT TO _MAVN 00 TH—AWOUBNEO DEBATE . "The adjourned debate on the Maynooth bill was resumed by Col . Verner _, who pointed out the disastrous results which he believed would follow from the passing ofthe measure . The Protestants were alarmed and diseouraged , while tbe Roman Catholics were rampant aud insatiable . He was extremely anxious , on behalf of the Protestants of Ireland , to know to what the policy of the Government tended . It appeared to him tbat the only argument that could be urged in its favour was , that having for fifty years gone on in the path of error , they were now to do something which was much _wovae .
Lord H . Vane thought the measure a great improvement on the former system , as it did away with the annual polemical discussions tliat _Iiai taken plaeK in the house . He was gratified to find the value of the boon enhanced by thc announcement that had been made in the course of the debates on the bill that Ireland was henceforth to be governed upon a different policy .- He did not , therefore , regard it as a final measure , although Lord Ashley had such faith in the expansive force of Protestantism as to anticipate the time when it would embrace the Roman Catholic population . But , hc asked , was there any hon . member , who , judging by the past , could , in his most enthusiastic moments , anticipate the realisation ofthe noble lord ' s anticipations ! He _' regretted to find Sir U . Peel using expressions which implied that he was yielding to intimidations . If the measure was based upon mere clamour , he should oppose it . He supported it because it was just and expedient , and in Christian charity he felt bound to give it his cordial assent .
Mr . _CoLdDHOUN complained of thc system of terrorism and alarm under which the Protestants of Ireland were at present placed , and which imperatively called for the interference of the executive Government . The Irish Roman Catholics were divided into three several parties , the moderate , the " "Young Ireland" party , and those under thc immediate influence of the priests *; but however they might differ among themselves upon minor points , they were all united in their demand for a repeal of the legislative union between the two countries . He called upon the Government , as it had put down Orange lodges and processions , to put down thc Ribbon lodges
and the monster meetings , and do equal justice hetweeu both parties . He contended that to the clergy of the Established Church the Government was indebted for the preservation of the _peaco of Ireland during the period when the monster meetings were being held ; and yet , when they subsequently applied to Sir R . Peel for assist _, auce to their schools , a simple act of justice , they experienced a haughty refusal . He thought there was little encouragement either as regarded the literature or the loyalty of those who had been hitherto cdueatcd at Maynooth , to the Parliament or the Government , to increase the grant and place the coUege on a permanent footing .
Mr . WrsE replied to the various petitions which had been presented against the Bill , and which he classed into those who opposed a grant from the _pub'ic funds on the ground of public economy , those who objected to any religious endowment by the State , and those who objected in consequence of what they believed to be the erroneous doctriues taught at Maynooth . Tho hon . gentleman at some length replied to tho arguments of these three classes , and contended that they had made out no case for opposing the present measure . He appealed to thc house to put an end to the petty differences which had been so long an effectual bar to the improvement of Ireland , The Catholics of that country werc too numerous and influential to be any longer treated with contempt or neglect , and he doubted not the country at large would , ere long , feel the beneficial results of thc more liberal policy which Sir R . Peel was now adopting towards Ireland .
Mr . Darby feared tliat an extension ofthe grant would be attended with the most pernicious results , and would endanger the Protestant constitution in that eountry . He thought that tho house had a right to learn to what extent and in what direction further Sir R . Peel meant to go . Feeling that the present was an attempt to confer a permanent endowment upon an institution teaching principles antagonist to those of their Protestant constitution , he should deem it his duty to oppose the bill . Sir J . _Gbauah believed they were all agreed , upon this point—that this protracted debate should at length close . He felt called upon to notice some of the observations personal to himself which had been made in the course of the debate . Hc had been charged by the Recorder for Dublin with neglect of Irish interests , and in the same breath he was censured for having usurped too great a control over tho Irish executive . He believed , however , that he was only following up a wish very strongly expressed in that house and elsewhere , that it was expedient that some control should be exercised by the Home Office over the acts of the Irish executive
The right hon . gentleman then pointed out the instances in which he had felt it his duty to exert his authority in Irish matters , and as the result had proved with the most beneficial effect . He then referred to the religious objections which had been urged by Mr . Spooner , and observed , that although he admitted the importance of maintaining their Protestant constitution , he was a firm believer in the principle that whenever , on matters of state , questions of religion arose , these questions must be decided upon political and not theological grounds . The influence of the Roman Catholic Priesthood was admitted on all hands , and when he considered their poverty and their privations , he was not surprised that the people venerated their pastors . True , he was reminded that he was the Protestant minister of a Protestant Sovereign ; but he could not forget that hc was the minister of
a Sovereign who had eight millions of subjects professing the Roman Catholic religion . AfExcter HaU tliey were told that the fundamental principle of their union was " a steady abhorrence of the Roman Catholic religion . " That might be the fundamental principle of the union between the Baptists , the Independents , and the Unitarians ; but it was not the fundamental principle of the union which he was anxious to maintain—namely , that between Great Britain and Ireland . He believed the grant would be gratefully accepted in Ireland ; and whatever the issue of the debate might be , he asserted that never was a measure propounded by a Minister from a more conscientious conviction of its utility ; and although many ofhis hon . friends disapproved of it , he felt tbat he would basely betray his duty if he had failed to press it apon thc consideration of Parliament .
Mr . Sheil expressed his satisfaction at the speech of Sir James Graham . He referred to a letter of Edmond Burk , who was considered by the hon . gentlemen opposite one of the greatest statesmen of his time , in which he stated that the foundation of Maynooth College was one of tho most important incidents of his day . That college had been considered a nursery of agitation and sedition , and yet at the time when the great struggle for Irish liberty was going on—whenpopular feeling was in a state ofthe utmost exacerbation , the heads of the college had published a protest recommending submission to the laws , and declaring that no power on earth could lelease them from the allegiance they had sworn . He could assure the Government that the Catholic hierarchy and the professors ofthe College of Maynooth were most grateful and thankful for the measure . In Ireland there had
been no Protestant demonstration against the boon , and in England the opposition had been almost exclusively confined to the dissenters ; but he trusted , thc peace and welfare of the one country would not be sacrificed to tho prejudices and passions of the other . He then referred to a circular which had heen put forward hy the _Anti-Mayuooth conference , in which he alleged that extracts were contained from works which were not class books of Maynooth , while others were garbled , and observed that these were the stratagems and pious frauds by whieh efforts were made to excite tho public mind upon the subject . Mr . _Plgsptre hoped before the bill was finally passed , tliat an opportunity would be afforded him of inquiring into the class books taught at Maynooth . He could assure Sir J . Graham that he felt no abhorrence of his Roman Catholic brethren , but he opposed tiie grant from purely conscientious convictions .
Mr . Ferhand recalled to the recollection of the house the advice which Sir R . Peel had given to her Majesty's late Ministers on a celebrated occasion , when they had found themselves in a majority on one of their Irish measures . He had told them that though they might find themselves in a majority in that house , they would still have to fight the battle ofthe constitution in the registration courts . The battle had been fought there ; and the electors of tlic empire had , iu consequence , returned to Parliament at the last election a Conservative mnjority which had enabled Sir R . Peel to drive the Whigs from
office . That majority had selected Sir R . Peel for their commander , and had placed him in office . Since that time he had betrayed them—he had led them into the " midst of the enemy ' s camp , and by so doing had earned for himself the unenviable title of the Maroto of Conservatism . But as at the last election the battle had been fought to drive the Whigs from power , so at the next it would be to expel the Conservatives from the offices wliich they now so unworthily filled . Yes , so sure as there was a dissolution of Parliament , the traitors now in power would be driven from it , and be deprived of the fruits-of their treachery .
Captain _Laiabd afterwards addressed the house in support oftho measure , amidst very general murks of impatience . Lord F . Egerton trusted the sentiments of Mr- Ferrand and Mr , Plumptre would not be taken as those of the Protestants of England . The able picture wliich had been drawn by Mr . Colquhoun of the present state of Ireland had tended more than anything else to confirm him in his original views . If they were to carry out to its full extent the proposition that they were dealing with Ireland as a nation of idolaters , he thought it would be better to abandon thoir dominion over it altogether . Mr . Maclean thought the policy of thc Government would lead to the destruction of the Conservative party , and shake the foundations on which the glory of that country was based .
Sir R . Peel , in reference to thc statement of Mr . Bankes on a previous evening , that the students of the College of Maynooth were implicated in the rebellion of 1798 , read extracts from several minutes of the college to shew tbat the trustees had taken the most stringent means to prevent their being in any way engaged in it , and expelled some of the students who were mixed up with that rebellion . He would take the state of Ireland from the speechof Mr . _Colquhounthatevening . _Hewould admit that neither lift nor property Mas safe in that

country — that there werc 8000 priests scattered over the country , nearly all of them active agents of the repeal of thc union ; and then hc would ask the hon . gentleman--whatt was his remedy ? The lion , gentleman would not advise a withdrawal of the grant of Maynooth , Everything had been done that could be done by the Executive for the protection of life and property ; the agitation had been put down , and _theniajesty of the law vindicated : and then was , in the opinion of the Government , the time to introduce measures of conciliation _, and ascertain whether any other means than those of force couldbe appealed to with advantage . Atthough be could not help expressing his regret at the loss of the confidence of some of those who had given to his government an independent support , he must say that he servile tenure
would never consent to hold office on the of shaping his views according to those of his political supporters . The measures of the Government with regard to Ireland had been brought forward after the most mature consideration ; and he considered it of importance that the peop le of that country should know that—at any sacrifice—they were resolved to maintain the opinions which they had practically . placed upon record . It was said that the people of Ireland were by no means grateful for these measures , but when they were cutting up the trade of the agitators they must expect that they would evince their dissatisfaction . The sight hon . baronet conclndcdby expressing his acknowledgments to those who were regularly opposed to his administration , but who had on the present occasion given lu ' ls an honourable and disinterested support .
Lord J . Rdssell briefly explained the motives which had induced him to take the course he had adopted in reference to this measure , and proceeded tc justify the expectations of the Irish people that it would be followed by others of the same character , until perfect equality witli the people of this country was attained . He referred to Lord Ingestre _' s declaration that he would have opposed this bill had it beenbroughtin by theWhigs _, as an instance of the injustice with which that Government liad been treated , and urged the present Ministry , as- it was in no danger of similar treatment , to persevere in its present
course . Mr . G . Palmes , made some observations , which were not distinctly heard in the general impatience of the house , on the unmerited insinuations which Sir II . Peel had cast upen the friends who had so long supported him , and who now separated from him on conscientious scruples . After an exculpatory remark from Sir R . Peel the house divided , when there appeared—For the amendment ... ... 181-against it 317 Majority 133 The bill was then read a third time . On the question that it do now pass _.
Mr , T . Buncombe rose to propose the following motion , of which he had given notice : — " And be it enacted that thc powers aud provisions of this Act shall not continue and be in force longer than the 1 st day of August , 1818 , and from thence to the end-of the then next session of Parliament . " Taking the present state of public feeling into consideration , he did uot think that this was at all an unreasonable proposition . There had been petitions presented against this- measure which werc signed by abeut 1 , 300 , 000 , and only sixty petitions in favour of it , which were signed by about 16 , 000-persons . When lie saw what he might say was the unanimous feeling of the country
on one side , and the opinion of the house on the other , hc felt that he had a strong right to ask for the limitation of the bill . The people said that if they voted this money in perpetuity , the house was exceeding its powers . They said that they had no greater right to take this grant out of the annual supplies than to vote in perpetuity any other of the annual supplies _-, that they might as well _wv & lte the Mutiny Act perpetual , as this grant . He believed that if this clause were adopted , it would act in the shape ofa message of peace to many of the constituencies of this country . Thc hon . member having made his motion , The clause was read a first time . Upon the motion for the second reading of it ,
Sir R . Peel said tliat they should take a division upon this clause . There were many instances in which votes of this house had been sanctioned by this house permanently from the consolidated fund . He could not think that the introduction of the clause would have tlte efteet of removing any great portion ofthe objection which had been urged against the measure , but would materially deprociate its advantages . Hc should give the most decided opposition to the hon . member's proposition . The houseagain divided , wheu the numbers were—Forfheclause 145 Againstit 243 Majority against the clause —08 The other orders ofthe day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past tiro o ' clock . Thursday , May 22 . At four o'clock , there not being forty members present , thehouse adjourned , Friday , MAr 23 ; THE navy .
Sir C . Napier explained the reason which induced him to take the discussion on the first vote in tho naval estimates—namely , on tiie vote of £ 1 , 273 , 789 for naval stores —on the present question rather than in the committee of supply , He did not object to the vote on account of its amount ; but he ( Sir C . Napier ) did object to it on account of the wasteful and extravagant way in wliioh it has been hitherto expended . Tne gallant Commodore then repeated the critisms wiiich he has so frequently made in the course ofthe present session , on the reckless manner in which the Admiralty has laid down ships of the line , frigates , and steam-vessels of war during the last four or five years , and contended that all tlieir experiments in naval architecture had been signal failures .
Mr . Soahes complained ofthe manner in which Sir C . Napier endeavoured to disparage the construction of the vessels recently built by the Board of Admiralty . Hc had no hesitation iu saying , that her Majesty ' s steam vessels of war , 104 in number , were superior to those of anyother potentate in the world . Besides these 101 steamers of war belonging to her Majesty , we had also 150 steamers in our mercantile marine , which could speedily be converted into vessels of war ; so that in case of emergency , we were able to meet all the steam vessels of the world
arms . A lengthy discussion , followed , in which , as usual , all the naval officers in Opposition supported the allegations of Sir C . Napier , and those in the iuterestof the Government contradicted those allegations point blank , —The passing of the naval estimates occupied the rest of the evening .
London. Chartist Co-Operative Land Schem...
LONDON . Chartist Co-operative Land Scheme . — South London Chartist Hall , Wednesday , May 21 , —Notwithstanding the tempestuous state of the weather , the wind blowing a perfect hurricane , and thc rain pouring down in torrents , a highly-important public meeting was held in thc above hall this evening . Mr . J . Cr . Dron wa 3 unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings by calling on Mr . C . Doyle to state the object of the meeting . Mr . Doyle said the object of the meeting was to form a district of thc Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; and he was happy , to find that even tho tempestuous weather had not . darspcd their ardour in pursuit of the land . This effort to achieve practice on the land * . vas indeed the commencement of a new era in the
Chartist movement , and great credit was most certainly due to the men of Lambeth for taking the lead in this important business , and calling the first meeting . The question was not a- new one . It had been frequently broached by Mr . O'Connor and other persons , but this-wasthe first attempt of thc people to reduce it topractico . ( Hear , hear . ) He might be asked , why a subject of ao much importance had been left unattended to so long ? In reply to such a question , he _wonldsay the reason was tnat the people werc not sooner prepared . In thc agitation of 1839 , the people evinced a desire to have their political rights ceded to them all at once , and to wliich they were justly entitled . Political fervour ran so high , that thev ' would not listen to anything else ; consequently ,
the people knew at that time very little ot the capabilities ofthe soil , and the means it might become of rendering them politically and socially free , ( Cheers . ) But now , fortunately , tliip minds of the _J people had made considerable progress ; and should this move ment proceed in thc good spirit in which it had commenced , he had no hesitation in saying that a very short time would enable them , by the society ' s means * to see a large number of persons located on the land , and the surplus labour market eased to a considerable amount . ( Loud cheers . ) The committee , in drawing _, up the rules , had so arranged it , that the ill-paid labourer could gain access to the society with as much freedom as the well-paid artizan , the contributions being weeklv Sd ., 0 d ., and ls . or upwards ; and ifthe meeting he had then the pleasure of addressing saw
the project m the same light tbat he did , it was their duty at once to render every assistance , and by legitimate means endeavour to possess themselves * - of at least a portion of their natural right—the- land . ( Loud cheers . ) . If they only succeeded in allocating their first 2000 on the land ( and which he had no doubt they would effect in a very short time ) , it was incalculable thc blessings this would confer . He thought it would be far better for the Trades to spend their money , in _^ locating their surplus labour on the land , than to waste it in what was but too . frequently vexatious . and useless—strikes ( hear , hear ); and surely it was far better to enjoy the pure air , with thc sweet music of tho lark at its early rising , than
to be shut up in the pestiferous and life-destroying atmosphere of the factory—to hear no music but the factory bell . Mr . Doyle liaving concluded his address , the work of enrolment commenced , and at the conclusion the secretary announced that thirty-four shares had been taken np , and the deposits paid . It was then unanimously agreed that a committee of seven be appointed for the district . Eight parsons were nominated , the election falling on the followins-. —Messrs . G . J . Dron , Gathard , Wells , Matthias Whiting , Henry , Biggs , and | Pearcy . The- committee having appointed Sunday nights , at six o ' clock as their time of meeting , a vote of thanks was awarded to the chairman , and the meeting dissolved
