' « . '" „ ¦¦» »' Lord Brougham , the Earl of _Eusxbosough , and lord Siasixt thought that the bill ought not to be pressed on at this late period of the session . The Earl of St . _Gibmass said that he would consider before the house met again as tothe proper course to be pursued witb regard to the bill . The Earl of Eglixtos moved that Joseph Byrne Joseph Hinde , and Duncan _M'Arthur , be called to the bartoanswerforan alleged fabrication of names appended as signatures to a certain petition . The three individuals in question were accordingly called to the bar , and having , as we understoodconfessed that fictitious names had been

      at-, tached to the petition , were adjudged to bave been f _uilty of a breach of privilege , and committed to ewgate . . Tha _Marco ' s of _Lassdowms communicated a message from Her Majesty with reference to the proposed provision for the Duke of Cambridge , and gave notice tbat he would this day move an address to the house on the subject . The County Courts Extension Bill was then read a third time , after which _. Lord _Beacmost proposed a clause providing that nine ofthe existing clerks of county courts who had given up freehold offices to accept tbeir present situations should not be removable ., . This was opposed by Lord Brougham , but carried on a division , in which the numbers were—Contents 19 Son-contents 13-6

      Lord Bboughah proposed an amendment , the object of which was to give a concurrent jurisdiction to the superior courts in actions for sums above £ 20 . Lord _Beatooki objected to the amendment , which wonld neutralise one of the most important features of the measure . The Lord Chaxcelior supported the amendment , and recorded it as his opinion that no attorney for the sake of increased costs would advise his client to resort to a superior court , as he would run the risk of losing his practice . The amendment was ultimately agreed to , and ihe bill passed . Their-Lordships then adjourned , after disposing of the other orders of the day . THE HOUSE OP COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , in committee , the house got through the remaining clauses of the Mercantile Marine BiU by three o ' clock , and then suspended business until five . When the house re-assembled ,

      Lord J . Russell announced the intention ofthe government not to proceed further tbis session with the Oath of Abjuration ( Jews ) Bill , which would be re-introduced at an early period of next session On the order for going into a committee of _mpply , Mr . Hume called the attention of the house to ihe petition from Dementia praying for British inttitntions , end expatiated npon the condition of British Guiana , complaining ofthe proceedings of Governor Basely _, and of tbe Colonial-office . " He concluded by mtving that copies of certain des-• patches from the colony be laid npon the table . Lord J . Russell shortly defended Governor _Saxkly and the government , which had had to contend in British Guiana , not with a reform party , bnt with an oligarchy . The despatches moved for had not been received .

      Mr . Hcub wished to withdraw his motion , but Lord J . _Rcsseix objecting , it was negatived . Mr . _Hutt then called the attention ofthe house tothe petition of Mr . G . C Redman , -with reference to his Portendie claims , and after pointing out the injury he had sustained , was about to conclude with a motion , from whicb , however , he was debarred by the rules of the house . The Chascelloe of the Exchequer , without entering into the merits of tbe case , admitted tbat Mr . Redman had suffered considerable loss , but he lad no claims npon the _government .

      The house went into committee of supply upon the Civil Service Estimates . The votes for the colonies of Sew Zealand , Hong Seng and Labuan led to much miscellaneous discussion , and the last revived the snbject of the controversy between Sir J . Brooke and Mr . Wise . The report of the committee npon tbe Queen ' s message _respecting a provision for the Bake of Cambridge and Princess Mary of Cambridge was brought np and agreed to . The reports of the Committee of Supply was brought np and . agreed to . The Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was read a third time and passed . The reports on tbe Equivalent Company and on . Excise Sugar and Licenses were brought up and agreed to , and bills were ordered to be brought in . The Militia Pay Bill -and Court of Chancery ( Lancaster ) Bill were each read a third time and

      The Registrar of Judgments' office ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . The Friendly Societies Bill was committed _. On the Attorneys' Certificate Bill , Lord R . Gbosvbsob moved that it be read a third time on Thursday . The _Chancellor ofthe Exchequer moved as an amendment , * that it be deferred for three months . Upon a division , the original motion was . nega gatived by 113 to S 3 , and the amendment was carried by 113 to 84 . The bill is therefore lost . Tiie other business having beea disposed of the house adjourned at ten minutes to three o ' clock .

      TUESDAY , _Jtjit 23 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Aelowaxce to thk Cam ; bbiose Family . —Onthe motion of the Marquis of Labsdow . _vb , an address was agreed to . in answer to ier Majesty ' s message , expressing the readiness of tbe bouse to concur in making a provision for the Duke of Cambridge and his sister . Lord BBocGHAUtook the opportunity of reiterating his opinion , tbat so long as the Royal Marriage Act remained on the statute book , it was but strict justice that Parliament should provide for the younger brauches of the Royal Famil y . Bat for that act , they would undoubtedly marry into the wealthiest families in the kingdom . The Bills for regulating the Census of next year were read a third time , and passed ; a 3 was also the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill .

      Auks Act . —In reply to a question put by Lord Staklet on a former evening , with special reference to tbe Industrial Exhibition of 1851 , the Marquis of _LtSBDOWSE said it was not the intention of the government to propose the renewal of the AlienAct . Their lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , The Medical Charities ( Ibelahd ) Bill made progress in committee . At the evening sitting , Mr . Wakley presented a petition from a public meeting held at tbe _National Hall , Holborn , praying for inquiry into the _circumstances connected with the trial ofa person named Baser , ror sedition .

      Ibi 8 h Poor Law . —Colonel Douse moved for leave to bring in a Bill for amending the Irish Poor Law . He had no hope of passing the bill this session , but trusted he might be allowed to lay it on tbe table . Tbe absolute necessity of such an act was , be argued , proved by the fact that , whereas , in 1847 , the rental of Ireland was £ 13 , 000 , 000 , and the poor rate £ 500 , 000 ; in 1819 , the rental owing to the repeal of the Corn Laws ; had been reduced to £ 9 , 000 , 000 , and the rate increased to £ 2 , 000 , 000 , « r 6 s . id . ia the pound , an imposition it was _impossible for Irish landowners to bear . Hr . ILuclto ** seconded the motion . Hr . P . Scbops sud the effect ofthe proposed bill _vouldfbe to destroy the present poor law of Ireland .

      Its object was to . save expenditure , and abolish outdoor relief . He ( Mr . Scrope ) contended that outdoor relief was , at this moment almost abolished , in order te produce reduced expenditure . Tbat reduced expenditure had been effected at the cost of the suffering poor of Ireland . In the south and west of Ireland tne poor were dying in numbers , owing io _ the inadequate relief that was afforded . The sine qua turn to the abolitionof out-door relief should be in-door relief of a proper character . Mr . G . Osborne had declared , that the poor houses in Ireland were shamefully over-crowded and mismazaged . If the government allowed the poor law to become & dead letter , tbe responsibility would rest

      with them , lne people had within the last six _stontks died of starvation by hundreds and by thousand ! f and he called npon the government to see that the poor law was carried out in such a manner as would relieve the parishes , and the ratepayers , aad provide adequate relief for the poor . He had , _rer and over again , ealled upon the government to _introduce a reproductive system or employment , with respect to the poor of Ireland . The report of the Board of Works showed bow that employment aught be afforded . It would he fer better to employ the poor in improving the land , and advancing the prosperity of the country , than by crowding them in poor houses , under a system which was _destructive to health , and which benefited no one .

      Mr . F . _FfiEKcrx supported the proposed measure , u did Major Blackall . Sir Geobge _Gazr wonld refrain from opposing _tittUlTOuUCtiunuf the bill , bnt begged distinctly to disclaim any sanction , on the part of _government , ofthe opinions expressed by the mover . He thought tbat time would show the advantageous workktgof tbe Irish Poor-law ; and he could not think , witb Mr . Scrope , that government ou _* ht to interfere with the administration of that law . " But he thought that all consideration ought to be extended to' the Irish landlords , who at present , no _daabjj _Buffered under the new burden imposed upon them : However , the Irish Poor-law he conceived to be a most valuable enactment , and he had a © intention of . being a party to any scheme for its iteration .

      _„ - . -- . - Mohdat, Jot.T ' 22. " Hous...

      Mr . _Stattobd supported the motion , found fault with the present Irish _Pooir-law , rand : pleaded the peculiar hardship of the caie of the Irish landowners . - ' V " " . Sir -H . W . ' Barron declaimed vehementl y , against the tyranny of Englishmen ,, who insisted on governing Irishmen by majorities in that house ; the " sense" of the Irish party was opposed to the opinion of suoh majorities . He threatened that government should bave no means of ruling Ireland in peace and quietness , until the evils of that country were remedied . Meantime he should support Colonel Dunne ' s motion . Mr . Sharuan Crawford should also support the motion , but disapproved of the last speaker ' s advocacy of it . Leave was given to bring in the bill .

      Tenant Farmers' Lvcome Tax . —Colonel Sibthorp then rose to submit a motion for the remission of the income-tax levied on the tenant-farmers . He contended that the avowed object of the altera tion in the Corn Law was to give protection to domestic agriculture ; wbereas from 1842 tbe landed interest had been suffering constant depression , owing to foreign imports , which worked in various ways to the injury of the tenant farmers , who were thus disabled from employing labourers . Their distress being admitted , be appealed to the Chancellor of tho Exchequer to acquiesce in the object of the motion now , or in tbe next _sesseion .

      The Chancellor of the Exchequer said , that to relieve one class from the operation of this tax would be unjust to other classes , and inconsistent with the principle off . the tax . Next session wonld be the time for considering the general question . Mr . Buck urged the distress ofthe landed interest , and declared his determination to support any proposition for tbe relief of that interest . Mr . Kewdeqatb complained of the course pursued by the government towards the agricultural interest this session .

      Mr . Wodbhocse said that the English farmer was in a new position / and when the house met , after the recess , his whole condition , and that , too , of his landlord and hia labourer , must be fully investigated . . Mr . _Spooker urged that the tenants were assessed to the tax upon a false principle , and suggested thatthe Commissioners ofthe Property Tax should be _authorised to hear appeals of tenants , who though charged upon profits , had been suffering loss . Colonel _SmiBORP said he would certainly take the sense of the house npon the question . The gallery was then cleared , and the division at this period wonld have carried the motion .

      Mr . Hume rose , and spoke during the exclusion of strangers . On the re-admission of the latter , Mr . Disbaeu was _Bpeaking . He said that he should support the motion , which he conceived to be in perfect concord with the principles which he had always advocated . He saw no difficulty whatever in giving this most just relief to the suffering agriulturists . Mr . _Bbiodt said that it wns necessary to impose the tax in the way now employed , because farmers did not keep suoh exact books as tradesmen . He proceeded to say that the Protection cry was nearly worn out , but as some cry would be necessary during the recess , he supposed that this was the devise with * _"riiich the Opposition were going to try to Keep up the delusion practised npon the farmers . Tbis attempt would be considered throughout the country as a most impudent one .

      The Marquis of _Gkanbt said a few words upon the altered condition of the farmer from what it was at the time the income-tax was imposed . The house then divided , negativing the motion by 50 to 32 ; majority 18 . Medical _Rkfoum . —Mr . "Wi _> obtained leave to bring in a bill to incorporate the general practitioners of surgery , medicine , and midwifery . The Ionian Despotism . —Mr . Hume then called the attention of the house to tbe riots and proclamation of martial law in Cephalonia , and to the

      grievances of the inhabitants of the Ionian Islands . He arraigned the conduct ofthe present Lord Hi gh Commissioner , and complained of tbe abolition of constitutional law in those islands , the unnecessary proclamation of martial law , and the general misrule . Stating the grounds npon which he impugned the proceedings of Sir H . Ward ; he severely condemned the executions , floggings , and burnings of bouses in tbe island , as well as the _supinenesB of the Colonial Office . What he wanted was an inquiry by a commission on the spot , and he moved an address to that effect .

      Lord Nugent seconded the motion . He _considered that the people of Cephalonia had been misrepresented ; that they had been treated unjustly , cruelly , and illegally ; and that there should be an inquiry in justice to the people , and even to Sir H . Ward himself . Lord Nugent was proceeding , wben the house , upon being counted , was found to consist of only thirty-eight members , and an adjournment took place at a quarter past nine o ' clock .

      _WEDNESDAY , Joxt 24 th . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The second reading of the Poor Relief ( Cities and Towns ) Bill was moved and discussed for some time . Ultimately , Mr . _Baines , suggesting that the session was approaching its end , and the whole question involved with the law of settlement , Mr . Shafto Adair consented to withdraw the measure for the present year . - _¦ ' ¦ . _Compourd Householders Bill . —Sir W . Clay , in moving the second reading of the Compound Householders Bill , said that the Reform BiU conferred the franchise on those who occupied houseof £ 10 annual value , provided they resided a certain period and had paid their rates . One of the

      conditions essential to the franchise was that the names of the parties should be on the rate book . Sow , there existed a class in London , and , be believed , in almost every large town in the country , who , though inhabiting houses of the value of £ 10 and upwards—often as high as £ 18—had not their names on the rate book , and for this reason , that in many parishes the local aors enabled the owners of houses to compound the rates of the tenants . The owners gained a small profit by compounding and relieved the parishes of the difficulty of collecting tbe rates from many parties , bnt the effect was this—that thejonly name on the rate-book being the name of the owners of tbe houses—often to the extent of'twenty , thirtv , or

      forty honses—the overseers had no power to return the names ofthe occupants to the returning officer , and thus numbers of properly _qualified persons were disfranchised . This was considered for years after the passing { of the Reform Bill an insuperable objection ; but , ' according to the thirtieth clause of that bill , it was held thata person mi ght claim tobe among the list of voters although his name might not be upon tbe rate-book . That applied only tb the then existing rate , so that it was necessary that the person must renew his claim and tender for every rate- ; and virtually this condition had the effect ot disfranchising large numbers of tenants . The object of the present measure was to put an end to the necessity of their making

      these incessant claims , and to provide that , having made these claims and complied with the provisions of the Reform Act , they should he on the register . Their vote could still be challenged for want of residence or non-payment of rates ; and the bill would confer the franchise on very many de-Serving and properly qualified persons . Mr . Kewdeqatb said this bill had been introduced last year , and that it stood for a _seoond reading on the 27 th of July . This year its _secont reading was moved on the 24 th of July , and therefore a gain of three days was obtained on the present occasion as compared with last session . The

      house , having heretofore considered the proposition , came to the conclusion that the machinery of the bill was imperfect , and that it would be improper to proceed with the measure . He believed the bill would open a door for enormous frauds , and that it would cause numbers of faggot votes to be manufactured . Lord Denman had given it as bis judicial opinion that its principle , if acted npon , would forster bribery . He believed that while county voters were on the decrease boroughs voters were on the increase—to the extent of 30 , 000 in 1849 as compared with 1848 . He moved aa an amendment tbat the bill be read a second time that day six months .

      Sis G . Gbet said he should vote for the second reading of the bill , believing that its object came entirely within the spirit ofthe Reform Act . ( Hear . ) Local acts did certainly enable the owners to compound rates , and thus perpetually , recurring claims were occasioned . The present measure would make one claim sufficient , providing all the Conditions attached to tbe Reform Act had been complied with . Sir E . N . Boston approved of the princi ple of the bill , and would vote in favour of its second reading .

      Mr . Spoonbr thought as the lateness of the session interposed a barrier to the passing of the bill it _WiS only a waste of timo to continue the discussion of its objectionable principle . Mr . Thelawket supported the bill , and said that if the government did not go on and extend the suffrage they might depend upon it . tbey wonld not be allowed much longer to rule the country . Sir B . WzLLor / _osBv objected toa continuous claim provided the tender were _onca made . Sir G . _Pechbll approved of the principle of the bill , arid expressed a hope that its seoond reading would be carried . Sir W . Clay replied . Mr . _Jvbwdeoatk explained . His objection to the bill was mainly grounded on the fact that he bettered it would open a door to ' great frauds . The house

      divided—For the motion ... , 80 Against it ... ' .. ... . ; . 21—86 The bill was accordingly read a second time . SusflAT _Tradiko _Poevehtion Bra , ;—Mr . Pbarsok moved the second reading of this bill—a measure founded npon arenort of a committee Of the

      other uouse , which had ' pi _«^ , a the bill . He titifc ported it upon " _civil'aronhdifaa * a meiuis of securing a day of rest to small tradespeople , who were prevented from adopting a' voluntary rule , and in order to rescue for the working classes the seventh day from tbat fierce competition to which those classes were exposed . . This was the principle of the'bill nil the details of which he did not defend . ¦ _;¦'¦¦ : ¦ ¦ : Mr . B . Wail moved to defer the second reading for three months . He denied that : the bill was borne out by tbe evidence taken b y the Lords' Committee , some portions of which he analysed : but he

      did not rely upon any part of that evidence for or against the bill , except that of Mr . Commissioner Mayne , which went to prove that if would be inoperative . He objected to it as a reli gious bill , because it contained no religion in it ; as a _sooial bill , because it interfered with everything and settled nothing , and beoause ia its inception it was unfair , leaving out o scope the powerful class of victuallers . Colonel Thompson supported the bill , believing that it would reall y be a heavy Wow to the Sabbatarians .

      Mr . Aicoor likewise supported the bill , but upon the ground tbat , without injury to the working classes , it would put down Sunday' markets , whioh were Sunday fairs ; and afford a relief to tradesmen . Mr . Anstbt opposed the bill , which , he contended created an invidious distinction between rich and poor . Bills of this kind did not remed y the evils against which _| they are aimed , they were rather calculated to extend and perpetuate them . Lord D ; Stdabt , without adopting all tho details of the bill , thought there were sufficient reasons why it should be read a second time . He advocated it upon grounds entirely separate from religion , solely upon civil and sooial ' considerations , its object being to prevent unnecessary trading . ¦ _; Mr . G . Thompson likewise supported the principle of the bill . The evils of Sunday trading were innumerable ; some localities in the Tower Hamlets were nuisances on Sunday .

      Mr . Hawes bore his testimony to the faot that a large proportion ofthe metropolitan parishes desired some reasonable restraint upon Sunday -trading . ThiB principle was all the house was called upon to affirm . Mr . W . J . Fox would support a measure efficiently tending to secure to the largest number possible , consistently with the comfort of society in general , the inestimable blessing of having one day in seven delivered from the common / pressure of the toils and cares of work ; but he-did not think that object would be promoted by this bill . This was sot a bill for securing a day of _frest to the great mass ; it was a Lambeth _shopkeers' measure , directed against orange and apple stalls . ( Hear , hear . ) If the bill should become law , you

      must not buy a Bible or Prayer-book on a Sunday , but you may buy a newspaper , provided it were stamped—a stamp which would no longer secure it gratuitous transmission by post on Sunday . ( Hear . ) A general investigation ought to precede any measure npon this subject , and without it these petty and partial measures ought not to be entertained ( Hear . ) Was the Jew to be compelled—possibly his conscience , protesting against it—to keep the Sunday of the Christian , who had his shop open when the Jew ' s was shut ? ( Hear . ) It was im possible to separate this bill from that great effort making in behalf of opinions which were a'relic of Puritanism , belonging chiefly to this country and to modern times , and without sanction in that book

      from which the Christian law was deduced . (" Hear , " <* Oh ! " ) Luther and Cranmer , and the great reformers gave no countenance to the views now put forward ; and those who held the opinions "just referred to must not expect to impose them upon the whole nation with the aid of legislation . ( Hear . ) Such a bill as this was not brought forward with pure hands . The great spirit of the ancient commandment was not the suppression of trading , but was — "Thou _shalt do no work ; " and domestic service especially was the object of the prohibition . But did not tbe Sabbatarians employ their grooms , and coachmen , and household servants ? ( Hear , bear . } Nor waB he ( Mr . Fox ) disposed to look favourably

      upon such measures as this until he saw the day of rest regarded more generously . Rest was not -the mere unintelligent cessation from toil , nor was the term satisfied by Attendance at church or at chapel , whether the individual was awake or asleep when there . ( A laugh . ) Combined with restrictive enactments , there should be facilities afforded to the multitude for resorting to some of those means for recruiting exhausted frames aud minds which were enjoyed by their superiors . The parish baker was the poor man ' s cook ; let the one work for the many . The omnibus and the steam-carriage were the poor man ' s coach ; let him have as free use of them as the rich man had-of his carriage . No one woiild dream of forbidding the rich man ' B going into his library on the Sunday . The public

      reading room was-the poor man s horary , ( Hear , hear . ) The rich man ' contemplated his paintings and his statues ; let the poor man have access to the great works of art , —let bim . have that which formed a sort of resting-place between what might be the high spiritualism of devotional service and the low and gross animalism of mere sensual enjoyment . ( Hear , hear . ) lie ( Mr , Fox ) believed the bill would _operate partially , and had a petty and unworthy object ; and , instead of going into committee with tne view to damaging the bill , he should oppose the second reading . ( Hear . - Sir J . _Grarau considered that a decent observance of the Christian Sabbath was not , as Mr . Fox had characterised it , petty or unworthy , though he

      agreed with him that it was not desirable to enforce a gloomy , ascetic observance of it , and that all rational amusements of the people ought to be tolerated . The difficulty of the subject was , however , great , and though , when he had been Secretary of State , representations were made to him of the evils and abuses of Sunday trading , he found the subject so difficult ; that he had refrained from introducing any measure upon it . But the question was , whether he should rejeot a measure passed by tbe Lords . He thought , on the whole , that it was the nearest approximation to a reasonable measure , and he should go into committee upon the bill with . tho purpose of endeavouring to amend its defects and supply its deficiencies . .

      Upon a division the second reading was carried by 101 against 22 . The house then went into committee upon the Copyholds Enfranchisement Bill , where it was lost by a division of 61 to 36 . The Debtors and Creditors ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . The Borough Gaols Bill wasread a third time and passed . The Coroners' Fees Abolition Bill and the Navy Pay Bill were each read a second time , the former witb an intimation that it would not be proceeded with this session . The Cruelty to Animals ( Scotland ) Bill went through committee . The dropped orders of Tuesday were disposed of , and the house adjourned at six o ' clock .

      THURSDAY , Jrar 25 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Earl St . Germans withdrew the Marriages Bill , trusting that the Earl of Ellesraere ( for whom he was acting ) would introduce a similar measure early next _sossion . Several bills having been forwarded a stage , their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the _morniag sitting , the Mercantile Marine BUI was considered as amended , and ordered to be read a third time on Monday . The _Medical'Charities Bill made further progress in committee . On resuming at five o ' clock , ia _' _ansfferjto Colonel _SrSTHORP ,

      The _Atiornet-General admitted that he had refused to append his signature to the injunction asked for against the Commissioners of . the Industrial Exhibition , to prohibit the erection of their intended edifice in Hyde Park . The right honoufr _nblo gentleman declared bis willingness to justify this refusal , if called upon . In answer to Mr . B . Cochrane , Lord Paiuerston stated that the arbitration bf Sardinia and Russia had been successivel y , suggested in order to settle the differences _pending between this country and Tuscany ; but that both

      suggestions had been declined by the government , who had , nevertheless , declared themselves willing to accept the good offices of the former power . On tbe motion for going into Committee of Supply , Lord Naas moved an address to the Crown . praying that measures sbould be taken to insure a regular steam communication between England and the Australian colonies . After reviewing , the respective merits ofthe three suggested routeB for the line of steamers , viz ., by way of Singapore , ihe Isthmus of Panama , and the Cape of Good Hope , the noble lord summed up ia favour of the last mentioned project . ... . " ..

      The Chancellor of the _Exchequer admitted tho self-evident utility of such a communication with Australia . He regretted , ' however , that he could not state the success of the ministerial efforts to _accomplish that object , and went at some length into a detail of the abortive negotiations which had heen undertaken with the East India Comp any in the hope of arranging upon ' a satisfactory basis for a steam packet service between Singapore and . the Australian colonies . Sir J . Weir Hogg complained that the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer had not only iriado indiscreet revelations as tothe correspondence carried ori between the Ministry and the East India Company upon the subject , but had oast upon tho company all the obloquy ofthe ill success that had hitherto attended their endeavours . So far frorri _deserviri _» this stigma , he showed many reasons for concluding that the East India Company , had just cause to complain of nnfair treatment by _ the government in the affair , He gave notice of his intention to move

Dwelling upon the accepted practice in this respect , which he said had existed ever since the people of ' England had , embraced Christianity , he moved a resolution setting forth tbe determination of the house not to alter its

      established customs , . . The _AiTO _BNEV-GRJiERAiy referring to the precedent set by Sir . R . Peel , when Mr . O'Cennell was first returned for Clare , and abstaining frbm any expression of his present opinion , he moved , as an amendment , that Baron Bothschild should in person , or by counsel , be heard atthe bar of the house , in support of his claim to sit as member , after taking the onths whioh his conscience might admit tobeoinding . ,, Mr , P . Wood enunciated the maxim that membership in that house was one of the privileges which every British subjeot had a right to enjoy , except specially and unquestionably debarred by a statute ofthe leg islature . Examining the form of the three oaths—of allegiance , supremacy , and abjurationrequired of members of parliament , he showed at much length , that by the legal signification of the several statutes , those oaths fell under , the category

      of affirmations , which , in all courts of law , were accepted when taken in accordance with individual forms and faith . This conclusion he pronounced clear and indisputable , and as it would permit the elected member to enjoy his privileges , so it ypt more strongly calls npon him to fulfil his , _duties to his constituents .. Mr . _Stuam _WontLRvdopreeated taking the house either by storm or by surprise , and submitted that the debate might "tobe adjourned for some , days that members might consider their opinions . Lord J . Rusbeu . coincided in believing that some delay might reasonably be asked for , but _sugtested tbat in fixing the day for resuming tbe deate the convenience of Itaron Rothschild should be in some measure consulted . He would not then express his own opinion , but wished the house to bear in mind tho importance of the question which they were about to determine .

      Sir B . Hall , on behalf bf the electors of London , remonstrated with much warmth against the treatment they had received at the hands of the prime minister . A bill bad been announced and kept in suspense during tbe whole session . Only on Saturday last tbey had learned that , it was abandoned ; and then their elected representative , in consequence of resolutions adopted at an influential meeting of his constituents , had presented himself for admission that day . Mr . C . _Anstey denounced the proposal for adjourning the debate . It was prompted , he declared , by a wish to burke the question , and bad been adopted by a convenient arrangement made between the principal members of the two hereditary factions in the legislature . Mr . Nswdeoate denied the right ofthe House of Commons to settle by itself a question whioh had formed tbe subjeot of bills submitted to both branches of the legislature during two successive

      sessions . Mr . Osborne , on the other hand , protested against getting rid ofa question affecting civil and religious liberty by a _shain battle , for the convenience of the government . He called upon the Speaker to say whether , he was not empowered to administer an oath to tho Baron , in the same manner as the Judges of tbe land . ' . ... "¦ Ultimately the amendment was withdrawn , and notice of a new amendment given , dcolaring that Baron Rofsohild should be at once admitted to his seat on taking the oaths according to the forms of his own faith .

      . Some . miscellaneous but animated controversy followed respecting the day when the discussion should be resumed . Mr . Anstey moved thatthe debate should prooeed that evening upon members re-assembling $ but tkiB motion was negatived upon a division by 191 votes to 62—129 . A second division was called upon a motion for fixing the renewed debate for twelve o ' clock on Monday , which was affirmed by a majority of 168 to 67—101 . \ . . The houso then adjourned to a quarter to six . '

      On the house resuming , Lord J . Russell then gave notice that when the lords' amendments to the Irish Franchise Bill came on for consideration on Tuesday , be should move that the £ 15 rating be reduced to £ 12 ; and the clause rendering personal application necessary , before an elector was admitted to the franchise , be withdrawn . The house then went into committee of supply upon the army estimates , where tbe dry details of military finance were enlivened by a facetious speeoh from Mr . H . Berkeley in opposition to the yeomanry

      vote . When tbe house resumed , the report of the committee of supply was received and agreed to , certain bills were advanced a stage , and the remaining business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at two o clock until Monday .

Roebuck ' s motion . ' _^ The participants In the honour of welcoming and congratulating the noble lord were nece « 8 _« rily limited to but a small " portion of the wholebody ofthe members' of the Club ; the first 200 only of the members ' who bad signed tSeinvita _^ tion being : p rivileged tof obtain ' tickets for their own admission—that number being the extent which the _crand dining-haU of - the Club can accommodate .

      The Club was specially decorated and furnished for the occasion . The'Candelabra round the front were lig hted , illuminating in a manner far more decided , grand , and characteristic than gas jets or coloured lamps , not only the whole of that part of Pall-mall in which it stands . ' In the magnificent vestibule , t he galleries , arid the _leception-roomB , exotic plants , articles of vertu , aiid other items of tasteful embellishment _, were abundantly distributed , and in the dining room the exhibition of plate in candelabra , vases , _tazza , ' and other appropriate decorations of the banquet ( able , was ' _profusei The'barid ' of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance in the vestibule , arid performed during the dinner ; Mr _^ Kalpb Osborne , M . P . for Middlesex , presided . The ordinary loyal toasts having been duly honoured ,

      The Chairman , in proposing , "The Navy and Army , " said he had great pleasure in coupling with his toast the names of two great ' heroes who had shaken both tbe ' senatb and the field—Admiral Sir Charles Napier , and Sir De Lacy Evans . ( Cheers . ) ; Sir Cham . es Napier , in returning thanks for the navy , said the noble lord ( Palmerston ) had been more closely connected with the navy than they had supposed , for he had ' commenced his career in tbe navy as a Lord of the Admiralty ; and , bad he continu « d in it , his career would have been ai brilliant as it bad been in a political point of view . ( Hear . ) When his connexion with the navy ceased he bad still found occasion for its services—first , iri carrying out bis policy in Belgium ; and afterwards , in

      _Portugal . Subsequently , he bad called the navy and the army into operation in Spain , arid had by so doing preserved the peace of Europe . ( Cheers . ) Afterwards , in Syria , with a handful of sailors and mariners , be bad settled a question which had posed all the statesmen of Europe . He ( Si-Charles ) had had the honour of serving under the noble lord many years—for the Secretary of forei gn Affairs , was in effect , First Lord of the Admiraltynnd bis policy was sucb tbat any officer mi ght be proud to be employed under him . ( Cheers , ) Sir De L . Evans , M . P _., acknowledged the toast oobebalf of tbe army . In one part of the noble lord ' s policy , as it regarded Spain , he had been personally concerned in bringing about a better state of

      things . Comparing Spain twenty years ago with what it was now , it would appear that no country of Europe had _nade greater progress in rational liberty , and civil and religious freedom , in so short a space of time ; and this was , in a great measure , owing to the policy pursued by the noble lord . ( Cheera . ) The Cbairuas , after some observations , said , 1 give , then , with all the honours—that "nine times nine " which is only devoted to celebrated men—• 'The health of our valued guest , Lord Palmerston . " , The toast was most enthusiastically received , and drunk . with " all the honours , " as indicated by the chairman .

      Lord Palmebston was received with loud cheers , and every demonstration of enthusiasm . He said : — When I think of the honourable and flattering reception I bave met with from you this day ; and when I think ef the terms—so far exceeding anything which I feel conscious of deserving—in whicb my hon . and gallant friend has been pleased to propose this toast , lam sensible of the truth of what vou have often heard , that it is far more easy to find arguments with which successfully to repel one ' s opponents than it is to find words adequate to express thanks and gratitude to one ' s friendB . It is said , indeed ,.. that out ofthe fulness of the heart the mouth _speaketh ; but , my lords and gentlemen , the heart may be too full to allow tbe

      tongue Its proper utterance . ( The noble lord was here much affected . ) Gentlemen , you have met here to-day not only to testify kind and friendly feelings to one individual , but you have met also , I apprehend , to record , by a public demonstration , your opiuion as to great and leading principles of public policy . ( Cheers . ) I am entitled to infer that the principles of policy which have guided tbe government , of whioh I have the honour to be a member , in their administration of the foreign relations of this country , have been suoh generally , _apeaking in general terms , as you have thought deserving of yOur approbation ..- Those princi ples of policy may be described in a few words , The guiding objects of the policy of the government

      with regard to our foreign relations have . been the interests of England — ( loud cheers )—interests which have their beginning in the well-being of this country , and which in their progress comprehend the well-being ot every other country . There is no land , however distant or however near —however civilised or however barbarous—in which englishmen are not found , for the purposes of recreation or of health , in the pursuit of science or of commerce , or iri the noble and higher avocation of shedding through the regions of darkness the light of the Christian faith . ( Cheers . ) I contend that these fellow-subjects of ours are entitled , wherever they may be , to think that they are under the _guardianship of the watchful eye of this country

      —( loud cheers)—and to assume that _England will either protect tbem from wrong , or , it wrong is done , that her power will obtain Ior them redress . ( Cheers . ) I have said that the interest of England is , not only that we should ourselves participate in these objects , but also that we rejoice in the _welloeing of all other nations , The days are gone byat least in this country—when men thought , when nations imagined , that their own prosperity was to be promoted by the adversity of their neighbours , ( Cheers . ) We glory in our own wealth , in our own Happiness , in our own liberty ; but we do not desire a monopoly of those blessings ; and so far aa our efforts can be properly exercised , I think it is the duty of tbe government of this country to assist

      other nations in following our example—those who ave endeavouring , at least , to attain the position whioh we occupy . ( Cheers . ) Do not imagine that we are less sensible than any other men in the couutry of the value and importance of peace . Do not imagine that we think lightly of the calamities of _war- _^ -of the interruptions wliich war opposes to all improvements , social , political ,-and commercial . Do not imagine that we are insensible to those great reasons which ought to deter the government of this country from involving , without absolute _ncessity , the people with whose destines they were charged iu all the miseries and calamities of war . Anxious as the people of this country are to preserve peace and avoid war with any country , yet , believe me , there

      is no other country whioh is not so disinclined—and that for the best of all reasons—to go to war with England as England can be to go to war with them . ( Cheers . ) This consciousness of strength—this feeling , of tbe national power , ought never to tempt the government or the people of England to commit anything that is unjust or wrong , but it ought at least to bear us up in pursuing the cause of Justice and honour , and induce us not lightly to give way to apprehensions founded on no real ground . ( Loud cheers . ) I feeithat we may be proud , and reasonably proud , of the country in whioh we have the good fortune to bo born . ( Cheers . ) It seems tome that thia Briti _sh nation i ' . destined ,, under Providence to bear an honourable part in _promoting arid

      _auvanoiug tne civilisation of mankind , " ( _ oud cheers . ) . Itis from this hive that theswarm has proceeded-that living and aotive swarm which had covered with the works of its constructive industry the wilds or ; primeval forests of North America there is no land , however remote , in which Englishmen _tave not introduced the arts of _civilisation and the blessings of Christianity ; and _heroTtSs una , where we are at home , we feel nrnnd t _# > _n , _; nh that wo hold out _tothecivihS an example o {' internal organisation , _K _« em 2 and progressive _improvement-a pracS proof andI conviot . on that in the improvement and _Xm _nf amiinc . .

Worthy also ofthe admiration of the wisest philosopher . ( Cheers . ) Gentlemen , I again thank _you-most inadequately thank youior the great and distinguished honour whicli you have oonferred ' upon me . This you may depend on , tbat so long as this country has the good fortune to be represented by Buch men ns I see around me , and as long as the people of this country are animated by the generous and patriotic feelings which have led you here , to-day , there is no danger that

      Sympathy For William Smith O'Brien; . A ...

      SYMPATHY FOR WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN ; . A numerously attended publio meeting was held at the National Hall , Holborn ; on Wednesday evening , July 24 th , to give expression - to the indignation created by the merciless- persecution ' of W . S . O'Brien , and to devise measures Ior effectually assisting to procure for bim treatment consistent with jurtice and humanity , while _undergoing the penalty of bis devotion ; to the cause of Ireland ' s liberty . Mr . Mason in the chair . Letters were read from T S . Duncombe , Sir J ., _Walmsley , Sharman Crawford , _Chisholin Anstey , and O'Gorman Mabon , approving of the objects of the meeting . '

      Mr . Mahokbt moved the following resolution—» " That , we have heard with feelings of horror and indignation of the severe privations and cruel treatment to which Mr . W' 8 . O'Brien has been subjected by the authorities'of Maria Island since his location : in that moBt penal district . " The resolution was unanimously adopted . ! . Mr . Kws « ti . A moved the following resolution : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting , tbe refusal of Smith O'Brien to accept a ticket of leave , clogged by stringent restrictions repugnant to his feelings , could afford no . justification , but' appearsto be a mere pretext for the gratification of a barbarous _vindictiveness , which excites great alarm for the mental" and bodily health of the _honourad victim . "' ' . ' .

      Mr . Babbt seconded tbe motion , wbich was carried unanimously . ' ' Mr . Butts moved the third resolution as follows _t — " That such wanton cruelty is calculated to excite in the minds of his countrymen , by whom his exalted honour , distinguished public services and disinterested patriotism , will ever be cherished with veneration , a deep and indignant hostility tothe authors and palliators thereof . " . Mr . Jobs O'Baiau seconded the motion , which was unanimously adopted . Mr , Bbombbbe O ' BmBN moved the followingresolution— That the general policy andeonduct of the government , in relation to recent political events on the continent , in Sicily , Genoa , etc , and more particularly in the vaunted protection afforded to the Hungarian leaders for political vengeance , appear to this meeting painfully and

      significantly to contrast with its sanctioning a > brutal and miserable persecution towards one whose unsullied integrity of pnrpose has commanded the respect of all honourable political opponents . " 3 fr . B . O'Brien delivered an excellent Speech in support ot the above , whioh was well applauded . Mr . M'Cartht seconded the motion , whicb wascarried by acclamation : Mr . D . _O'Connbu _. moved the appointment of » committee , with power to add to its numbers _,, witb a view to correspond and act with other committees , formed for a similar purpose in Ireland and elsewhere , which was seconded by Mr . _M'Mahon , and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given by acclamation tothe Chairman , and thus terminated this deeply interesting meeting . — - —a
