MASSIOS HOCSB . Satcbdat . —SHOMimsc— Susan Mitchell , a finely aressed jonne woman , was placed at the bar with Jane West , chained with shoplifting , at the shop of Mr . Hall , 303 , Bishopsgate-street . John Graham deposed that he was shopman at the above establishment , and was in the shop at half . past two o ' clock yesterday , when the tvco prisoners came in and asked to see some ribbon . Before submitting the ribbons for their sspection lie took the precaution to count the pieces ; theprisonerpurchased oneyardat 9 d . He afterwards missed a piece of the value of 18 s ., and he sent for a policeman whilst the prisoners were in the Ehop . The policeman came , and he then mentioned his suspicions to the prisoners . They declared their innocence , and expressed their willingness to be searched ; at the same time he observed the piece of ribbon now produced fall from the prisoner Mitchell . The ribbon was
theproperty of his employer . The policeman deposed to seeing the piece of ribbon fall , but could not say from which of the females . —Susan Mitchell said she was a servant ont of place , living with her sister , in long . alley . She at present worked at the umbrella business . The ribbon did not fall from her dress , it fell from the counter . Jane West said they went to the shop to purchase ribbon ; having purchased a piece , this charge was made against them . They had no insention of stealing , as ¦ their willingness to be searched proved . —Susan Mitchell tfas committed for trial , and Jane West was discharged , with a caution not to appear there again . Mosdat . —A Sice Mas . —A very rough-looking man , with a black eye , named John Manning , was charged upon the following occasion . Mr . John Webber , a fanner , of "West AVickham , was sworn , and said , that having arrived in town by the Greenwich Railway , he and his wife
walked from London terminus towards the City , and were overtaken and stopped in a very rude and familiar mannerly the defendant , on LondonBridge . Witness had just fcefore accidentally dropped a small bundle which he was carrying , and picked it up , and the defendant touched him on the shoulder , and said , " Come , you must tip roe a fonrpenny , or I ' m blowed if I don't split upon you . " Witness indignantly told him to go about his business , but the fellow followed , used most abusive language , and swore that he would pursue them till they should consent to give him something . As they found he was determined to keep his word , they thought the most prudent course they could adopt -was ' to give him into custody . —The defendant : Tut , tut Can you , or your wife , as you call her , ttll me what that bundle contains ? — The complainant : 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 sot sworn . Swear him , officer . —The Lord Mayor : He las been sworn . —Defendant : Xot at alL He has not
been presented with the book , I say . Officer , give him the xwok , and let him be sworn , and then let him answer me . ( Laughter . )—I tell you he has been sworn Sow I wish to know what have you to say ?—What have I got to say ? Why , I've to say this here . I see a . person drop the bundle , and I see him ( pointing to the complainant ) that had nothing to do with it pick it up . Well , I wasn ' t going to let aim cut away with the property without he'd tip summut , to I let him know what my thoughts was , aud he sushis wife turned up their noses at me , and so I said I was Wowed if I wouldn't stick close to ' em , and so I did safe . — Areyou sober ?—Sober ! Certainly 1 am as sober as any one here . They looked contemptible at me because 1 look like a blackguard , with this here black eye , what I got by my owu lolly ; but they 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 ont vagabond , he grabbed me as if 1 was a coalheaver . or any other low disorderly eharactcr , and towed me away . The Lord Mayor remanded the defendant , and the complainant then gave indisputable proofs that the bundle was his property .
Wedsesdat . —A Jebemt Diddler leabked is the l * . —Wm . Perry , alias Win . Thompson , who was in the mayoralty of Sir Wm . Magnay charged and committed for having assaulted , in the most desperate manner , a policeman in whose custody he had been placed for haviug cheated a publican , was brought before the Lord Mayor . A waiter of the Three Tuns Tavern , in Mitre-street , A . U 1-gate , stated that at nine o'clock the prisoner entered the house , and called for a pint of ale and bread and cheese , after which he was served with ale and soda water until his bill amounted to 2 s . iid . Upon being called upon for his reckoning , he coolly said that he had no money , and that he bad just arrived from Liverpool . The landlord gave him in charge at the station-house , and witness saw him assault the ]> oliccman who had him in custody . Wm . Patrick and Wm . Butcher , policemen , stated that the prisoner had , after having spoken in the most
contemptuous terms of the City authorities and the police , most violently assaulted them ( the witnesses ) , -and that they were obliged to handcuff him and carry him bound to a stretcher to the Compter , after a resistance of a most desperate kind , in which he had bitten , and kicked , and struck with all the power of which he was master . The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with the view of showing that the frolic of doing a tavern did not come ¦ wi thin t ! : t 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 the c < m > j >! ainant-as to their position at the stationhouse . He otpected and protested against the whole business brought forward as illegal , ana argued , amidst roar& of laughter , that the law of the land was violated most grossly in the subjugation of his hands and feet . " 1 should he glad to know , " said the prisoner , " what degree of force was used to handcuff me !"—The Lord Mayor : Why , you must know the degree of force , pretty well , 1 should think . —The Prisoner : 1 beg , my lord , to be under stood as taking ' an objection to this procedure . You have
nothing to do with this business . —Butcher ( die polieeman ) stated that upon going into ihe station-house the prisoner flew at bun Uke a dog , bit him in several places , and hit and kicked him . Inspector Martin stated that theprisonw had been charged at the ' station-house with having eaten and drunk at the Mitre Tavern , and that , upon being asked why he acted so improperly he cast all the magistracy and the police of the City behind him in language the most expressive . ( Laughter . )—The Prisoner : 1 camion the witness as to what he savs . Mind that , my lord ; I caution this object . ( Laughter . )—Witness : He struck au 4 kVked vri 1 h the most desperate fury , and we were obliged to employ several men to fasten him down . —The Prisoner : Now you set , my lord , what sort of a trumped up case this is . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Yes ; I see quite clear enough , to call upon you 10 find bail , yourself in £ S 6 , aud two sureties in £ iO each , to meet this charge at the sessions , and to direct the City solicitor to pr . > secute you . —The Prisoner : My lord , I protest against this course altogether . ( Laughter . )—The prisoner was theii committed " to in-ison .
BOW STREET . Satchdat . — CcTxixe ± sz Wosjjjwng . — A man named John Ktlly was charged with having stabbed his own brother , Daniel Kelly , in the arm with a knife . A certificate was produced from the acting surgeon of Charjug-cross hospital , stating that the-wounded man was out of danger , but not iu a fit state to appear before the magistrate . It appeared from tie evidence , that the prisoner and his brother were quarrelling , in the course of which the former stabbed the latter with a penknife . A policeman who was passing at the time was called in , and the prisoner , when he saw the officer enter the room , made to the window , apparently with the intention of throwing himself from it . lie was , however , laid hold of , and secured by the officer . The prisoner said that hi had been out drinking with his brother , and a quarrel took place between them . ' He knew nothing abont the wounds , nor could he have inflicted them , because he had BO knife with him at the time . The mother of . the prisoner said he was not right in his intellect . . He was remanded tin Wednesday .
WORSHIP-STREET . Tuesday . —The Xotokiocs Sheen . —William Sheen , the man who was tried some years since at the Old Bailey for the murder of his child 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 threatenins ; tlielife of Mr . Conrad Beuhler , landlord of the City of Norwich public-bouse , in Went-¦ vtOTth-street , WhitechapeL—The complainant stated 1 liat le 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 ler children , and wholly excluding the prisoner , the latter had ever since exhibited the strongest hostility towards
the . witness , -whom he wrongly conceived to have been in some measure the cause of his disappointment , and had been in the constant habit of using the most violent language towards him . On the 32 d of January last the witaess -was behind Ms bar when the prisoner passed through the house into the tap-room in an excited state , and had no sooner entered the room than he began to harangue the persons assembled there in the most threatening language- in reference to witness , -whom he swore that ht wouldbutclierbeforeheleftthehouse . The people in the Toom trieS-every persuasion 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 cutandrnvthe witness up , he rushed out of the tap-room ,: J" ^ of ^ e tar » ** & snatchingfrom his pocket a pentaufe , opened it , and made a desperate stab at the wit ness's body . The blow was so forciblethat had it taken
, effect it m « t probably would have been attended with Jatal consciences ; but witness fortunately caught a glimpse of the action , and by hastily throwing himself rack escaped if , and the prisoner again ran into the taproom . A policeman was instantly sent for , but before one could be foucfl the prisoner had ' effected his escape , and , although a warrant had been issued for his apprehension , he had succeeded in evading it until the preceding day , when he was wet accidentally , and taken into custody . — Mr . Yann , the prisoner ' s solicitor , stated that ever since the unfortunate transaction for which his client had been tried at the Old Bailey , he had been pointed at and subjected to such as intolerable series of persecutions , that the prisoner bad 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 nad no wish or intention to inflict any injury upon the complainant . —Mr . Bingham having been informed that the prisoner was the owner of four honses , producing him a rental of £ 70 per year , said , that after the evidence he had heard of his violent conduct and habits , he felt it necessary to insure the complainant ' s protection , by requiring the prisoner to pnt in bail to the amount of £ 50 , and enter into his own recognisance in £ 100 , to keep the peacefor the nest twelvemonths . —The bail was produced m the course of the afternoon , and the prisoner liberated .

GUILDHALL . Thursday . —Bbutal Assault . —Joseph Coombes , of So . 8 , and William Coombes , of No . 9 , Three Tun-court , were brought op before Alderman Wood , charged with committing a violent assault on William Parrot , of Halfmoon-alley , and Frederick Jennings , of 78 , Milton-street , City . It appeared from the evidence of the complainants , that as they were proceeding down Half-moon-alley , Moor-lane , they observed the prisoners and some other parties obstructing the pathway . A woman wished to pass them , when she received a severe blow from the elder Coombes . A man passing said to them , that it was a eowardly thing for them to strike her , upon
which they began to abuse him . Jennings went up and told the man he had better come away and leave them , but he had no sooner done so than he was knocked down . He received a severe blow on the head , and one in the face , besides being kicked in the abdomen and other parts of the body , so much so , that he was obliged to go to a surgeon , who examined his body , and , having dressed his wounds , said they were very severe , and that he must rest quiet for some days to come . The woman who received the blow happened to be in the family way , and in consequence of the injury sustained , she was at that present moment in the pains of labour . Alderman Wood said that he should bind them both over
in £ 40 , and two sureties in £ 30 each , to answer the charge at the session , and should instruct the City solicitor to prosecute . WANDSWORTH . Satobdat . — The Advantage of EtdcTBic Telegbapbs . —Elopement and Robbery . —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 of the 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 the 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 that a robbery had been committed at Westend , 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 Emmerson , 16 V , and when the train arrived , at half-past three o ' clock , the prisoners were taxed with stealing the sum of £ 37 odd , and taken into custody . They seemed thunderstruck at fi ding that the robbery was already known in London , and that their arrival had been anticipated . —Serjeaat 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 said the young woman admitted at the station that she bad taken the money , that she met the prisoner at Iiishopstoke , went from thereto Gosport , and from thence to London , and that on the road she gave the male prisoner the whole of the monev . A letter was found her
upon person from the male prisoner , asking her to elope with him , and stating that he had got 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 London , and he agreed to go with her . She paid the 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 nottrue , 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 having consulted with Mr . Fletcher , the chief clerk , ultimately decided that the prisoners must ba removed into Hampshire . r
SOUTHWARD . Tcesdal—DisoBACEFot Assavm . —William Ogan , a farmer , of Smesby , Leicestershire , was broughtbefore 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 in Euston-square , and that she had been at Brighton to visit her relative ! . On the preceding afternoon she took a place in one of the third-class carriajres , to come to town , the defendant being a passenger in the same vehicle . On the journey the defendant entered into conversation with her , and , after sometime , he began to conduct himself towards heriu such a manner that induced her to move away from that part of the . carriage where she was sitting to avoid his fanuhanies . He , howeverfollowed heraud as the train
, , was passing through one of the tunnels , he caught her round the waist , but she pushed him away . Still , however , he persevered in annoying her , until his behaviour attracted the notice of persons sitting in the same carriage , one of whom , a young man , spoke to the defendant on the impropriety of Ids behaviour towards an unprotected young female , and advised her to give liini into custody as soon as an opportunity presented itself , which advice she availed herself of when the 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 barelv sufficient to take him down to his farm in Leicestershire . Mr . Trail said the defendant ougiit to have thought of that before lie committed such an offence , and he was then locked dp in default of paying the fine .
THAMES . Wedsesdat . —Extensive Pmndek . —A Whole Famh . "s is the Dock . —Henry Jolly , William Jolly , his father , and Mary Anne Jolly , his sister , were placed at the bar for re-examination , charged , the first with stealing , and the two latter with receiving , a vast quantity of silks , serges , kerseymeres , alpacas , buttons , trimmings , and a variety of other articles , the property < rf Mr . 3 snn Xewling , 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 in the charge of receiv
ing , and she was instantly transferred from the hall of the court to the dock . It appeared that the younger male prisoner , Henry , had , up to Saturday last , been in the prosecutor ' s employ as errand-boy for the previous fourteen months , aud dorms the whole of that period he had pursued a systematic aud extensive pkin of plunder , countenanced and aided by the other members of his family . After hearing the evidence , Mr . Broderip said the case was clearly made out , and he was prepared to commit the prisoners ; but as the Serjeant 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 , Friday , Mat 1 G . lord Bhouguam gave notice that , on Monday next , he would lay upon the table bills for the purpose of remedying certain defects in the civil and criminal jurisprudence of the country . Some bills on the table were forwarded a stage , after which their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosday , Mat 19 . Loru Bbougham then rose to lay upon the table a series of bills for the amendment of the civil and criminal jurisprudence of the country . After referring to the amendments that had been made in the -various departments of the law since 1828 , his lordship pointed out the many defects that still existed , and which imperatively called for some remedy . With regard to the transfer of property ,
there was , under the present system , such an endless piolbrity in every deed of sale , that independently of the enormous expense entailed upon the parties , there was great and pressing danger of aome error or omission -which wonld vitiate the whole . He proposed to introduce a bill which would contain a short form , under which property could be legally and safely transferred ; another bill with regard to leasehold property ; and a third which would embrace the whole subject of mortgages , and place it upon a more equitable and intelligible footing . The next point to which he 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 further
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 projosed a bill for amending the law of marriages , and one for securing th-j 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 re jistration of the titledeeds of estates .
After a few words from Lord Campbell , the bills , nine in number , were severally read a first time .
Tcesdat , Mat 20 . game laws . Lord Campbell presented three petitions from Dunferwline , Cupar , and Kirkaldy , complaining of the Game 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 of the petitioners in that respect , as he thought the question of the Game Laws was not in the slightest degree a question between the landlord and Ms 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 Ins 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 had also been said that the system prevailing in this country for the preservation of game was similar to that which prevailed in France before the revolution . But he thought that if all the Game Laws were swept away at once , the same system would still prevail between landlords and 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 shall feed , unmolested , in the fields . " The farmer might then say , " I will not take
the farm on those terms , nor unless you will give me com . pensation for the injury that will be done to me by the game . " The petitioners next complained that the community suffered from the Game Laws . On that point he entirely agreed with them . As the crime of poaching became more frequent , as there were so many convictions , so many encounters between keepers and 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 18 i 3 there were
Untitled Article
forty-two instances of homicides in encounters between poachers and gamekeepers , and there were twenty-five convictions for murder . The evil arising from the oft'ence of poaching 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 thought that some remedy should be adopted to effectually 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 the appointment of a committee to inquire iuto 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 " ratione 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 had been followed by what was called a " recent pursuit . " The report of the committee was the groundwork of the bill the 1 and 2 Will . IV ., whichiie 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 which 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 of the people were not marching with them , and they would not be so until they proved to them the true character of game . When the people knew that , a good end must result .
Lord Hathebtok 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 ( LordDacre ) had not throwa 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 think any one of their lordships , however much addicted to field sports they might be , could hesitate to admit that some legislative measure was necessary to ( in some degree ) cheek the practice . After some other "talk" of no importance , their lordships adjourned . Thdksdat , Mat 22 . Their Lordships met at four o 'clock .
On the motion of the Duke of Bocciecch the public Meseums Bill was read a second time .
CONDEMNED SEBMON'S . The Marquis of Clanbicabde took the opportunity of stating , that since the subject of admitting the public to be present at condemned sermons had been mooted , he had made inquiries respecting the matter , and he was happy to say that the sheriffs were entirely without blame in the admission of the public to see Hockcr the day before bis execution . It was the custom , and the sheriffs had merely followed the plan of their predecessors . Hemust , however , at the same time , say that the practice of allowing strangers to be present to observe the peportment of an individual , at the very time when his whole energies should be directed to obtain spiritual improvement , was highly improper .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , May 16 . On the motion for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply , Captain Bebkelet called attention to the present system of manning her Majesty ' s navy , and the difficulty that arises in procuring able seamen for her service . The gallant officer contended that , under the present system , there was ne opportunity for training able seamen , and that , consequently , the navy was gradually losing its characteristics as the main defence and power of the country . Sir d , Cockbubn defended the existing system as quite adequate for the necessities of a peace establishment . The character of the navy was rapidly rising in estimation ; the seamen were protected from the plunder of crimps , and the supply through the medium of the merchant sen-ice would be found adequate to any emergency that might arise .
A discussion ensued , in which Mv . Somes , Mr . Lambton , Captain Rous , Captain Pechell , Lord Ingestre , Sir C . Xapier , and Mr . Williams took part ; after which Lord Palmebston drew attention to the state of the slave trade , contending at some length that the late Go . vernment had exerted itself strenuously to effect treaties » vith a view to its suppression , and had in effect concluded no less than thirty such treaties with various countries in all parts of the world , while the present government , since it came into power had not concluded a single treaty on the subject . He hoped that Ministers would take a more lively interest in this matter than they had hitherto done , in which case they would , if they did not extinguish the slave trade , at all events bring it within much narrower limits than it now occupied .
Sir R . Peel replied at some length . He denied that the present government had undone anything which had been done by their predecessors , or that they were at all indifferent to the great object of suppressing this monstrous evil , which was a disgrace to the civilised nations of the world . After some observations from Mr . P . HowarJ , the house went into committee of supply , and the remainder of the evening was occupied in the discussion of the estimates .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Monday , May 19 . THE MATNOOTH Bill . On the 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 . Mab 8 Land 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 not having met with any other supporter , Mr . Ewart declined to go to a division , and the amendment was consequently withdrawn .
Mr . BANKES then moved that the bill be rend 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 Boyne , " 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 the measure over again . " Sir R . Ingiis seconded the amendment . Mr . M'GEACHY , 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 thebill . Mr . Spookeb repeated his former argument , that the question was not one of money but of principle , and made an impassioued appeal to the house to reject the bill . Mr . C . Buxieb regretted to find Mr . Spooneropening up a theological question which was a very inappropriate subject for discussion in that house , and appealing to the religious prejudices of lion , 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 well 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 Ikgestbe 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 . La-wson 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 TABA MEETING .
Mr . Febband 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 , of the 13 th May , a sort of programme of the demonstration which was to take ? w £ f ° " ? 5 sday > The J ° urnal went on to say , that the demonstration was inUnded as a hint to the S ' tt ' i ^ " !? ° JCCt Which VTom * te ( l thi 8 demonsh-ation in 1845 was the same which , in 1843 , had crowned the heights of Tara with a mUlion 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 renresuited , ne wished to ask the right hon . baronet whether it was his determination to assert the majesty of the law , and preveat 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 , i
Sjr J . Gbaham replied he was aware of the probability of a great assembly of the people of Ireland occurnng , and in answer to thehon . member ' s question he had £ say that the Lord Lieutenant had received directions nPZ ^ t ? ., ' S Govenunent to take care that the WaVL ; relandwas ^ served , in accordance with the law as it at present existed . a rttZ ^ f " ' r « Ught f ° nVara h * Mr Bem B 0 » NE . &r a return of all the monies derived from rents or col ege ands , endowments , bequests , fees on matriculation aid taking of degrees , and the amount of income paid fterefrom to the senior and junior fellows , professors , scholars , and ofter officers of Trinity College , Dublin , gave Z to some discussion , the hon . gentleman refusing to postoone his motion unless he was assured of another opportunity of making it . ' SirT . Fbehantie opposed it , as being an interference with private property ; and Sir R . Peel also expressed his determination to resist the notion .

i ¦ . ¦ .- . ¦ ¦ * . ' On the opposition side , it was urgc . d by Mr . Sheil , Lord J . Russell , and others , that Trinity College being founded by the Crown , aud 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 63 .
THE MAINOOTH BIU . The adjourned debate was resumed b y Sir H . W . Babron , who complained of the misrepresentations and slander that had been cast upon the 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 iU feeling in Ireland . Mr . La wson believed that he would be betraying the interests of the Established Church if he did not vote against the present measure . In the part of the country which he represented the general feeling of both church , men and dissenters was against the grant . :
Mr . CuoLMONDELEt 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 of a sop to the Repeal agitation ; it was 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 . Ffolmott 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 D . Norreys , Mr . Godson , Colonel Rawdon , Mr . Oaskell , 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 the 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 . Verner moved the adjournment of the debate , which , in a division , was negatived by 180 to 100 . The p liant colonel then moved that the house do now adjourn . After a few words from Lord J . Russell , and a remonstrance from Sir II . Peel , the debate was again adjourned . "Wednesday , Mat 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 th Hibernian Joint Stock Banking Company might be ineluded in the measure relating to joint stock banks .
ORAST TO MAYNOOTH—ADJOURNED DEBATE . The adjourned debate on the Maynooth bill was resumed by Col . Vesnek , who pointed out the disastrous results which he believed would follow from the passing of the measure . The Protestants were alarmed and discouraged , while the Roman Catholics were rampant and 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 that the only argument that could bo 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 worse .
Lord II . Vane thought the measure a great improvement on the former system , as it did away with the annual polemical discussious that had taken place in the house . He was gratified to find the value of the boon enhanced by the 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 , he asked , was there any hon . member , who , judging by the past , could , in his most enthusiastic moments , anticipate the realisation of the noble lord ' s anticipations ? He ' regrettcd to find Sir R . 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 wan just and expedient , and in Christian charity he felt bound to give it his cordial assent .
Mr . Colquhobn complained of the 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 the immediate influence of the priests ; but however they might differ among themselves upon minor points , they were all united iu 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 the Ribbon lodges
and the monster meetings , and do equal justice between both parties . He contended that to the clergy of the Established Church the Government was indebted for the preservation of the peaca of Ireland during the , period when the monster meetings were being held ; and , yet , when they subsequently applied to Sir R . Peel for assistance to their schools , a simple act of justice , they experienced a haughty refusal . He thought there was little encouragement cither as regarded the literature or the loyalty , of those who had been hitherto educated at Maynooth , to the Parliament < vr the Government , to increase the grant and place the college on a permanent footing .
Mr . Wise replied to the various petitions which had been presented against the Bill , and which he classed into those who opposed a grant from the public fuuds 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 . The hon . gentleman at some length replied to the arguments of these three classes , and contended that they had made out no case for opposing the present measure . He appealed to the house to put an end to the petty differences which had beon so long an effectual bar to the improvement of Ireland . The Catholics of that country were too numerous and influential to be any longer treated with contempt ov neglect , and ho doubted not the country at large would , ere long , feel the beneficial results of the , more liberal , policy which Sjr R . Peel was now adopting towards Ireland .
Mr . Darby feared that an extension of the grant would be attended with the most pernicious results , and would endanger the Protestant constitution in that country . He thought that the house had a right to leans 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 theiv Protestant constitution , he should deem it his duty to oppose the bill . ; Sir J . Graham believed they were all agreed upon this point—that this protracted debate sliould 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 . He 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 the Irish executive .. He believed , however , that he was only following up a wish very strougly 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 exeoutive . The right hon . gentleman then pointed ont 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 souldnot forget that he was the minister of a Sovereign who had eight millions of subjects professing tlieRomaa Catholic religion . AtExcter HaU they were told that the fundamental principle of their union was "a steady abhorrence of the Roman Catholic religion " That mi ght 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—namel y , 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 of his hon . friends disapproved of it , he felt that he would basely betray his duty if he had failed to press it mpon the consideration of Parliament . Mr . Suiel expressed his satisfaction at the speech of Sir James Graham . He referred to a letter of Edmond Burkj who was considered by thehon . gentlemen opposite one of the greatest statesmen of his time , in which he stated that the foundation of Maynooth College was one of the 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—whcnpopular feeling was in a state of the utmost exacerbation , the heads of the college had published a protestrecommending submission to the laws that
and deelanng no power on earth could release them from the allegiance they had sworn . He could assure the Government that the Catholic hierarch y and the professors of the College of Majnooth were most grateful and thankfiil 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 the peace and welfare of the one country would not be sacrificed to the prejudices and passions of the other . He then referred to a circular which had been put forward by SS Maynooth conference , in which he alleged that extracts were contained from works which werl not class ££ of Maynooth , while otherB were garbled , and observed that these were the stratagems and pious frauds by which JJJT made * - * «» Imt mind uponte

Mr . Plujiptbb hoped before the . bill was finally passed , that an opportunity would be afiurded 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 the grant from purely conscientious convictions . Mr . Ferkand recalled to the recollection of thehouBe 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 housp , they would still have to fight the battle of the constitution in the registration courts . ' The battle had been fought there ; and the
electors of the empire had , in consequence , returned to Parliament at the last election a Conservative majority 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 which 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 Latard afterwards addressed the house in support of the measure , amidst very general marks of impatience . Lord F . Eoerton trusted the sentiments of Mr . Ferrand and Mr . Plumptre would not be taken as those of the Protestants of England . The able picture which 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 idolators , he thought it would be better to abandon their dominion over it altogether . Mr . Maclean thought the policy of the Government would lead to the destruction of the Conservative party , and shake the foundations on which the glory of that country was based .
Sir It . Peel , in reference to the 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 that 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 speech ofMr . Colquhounthat evening . He would admit that neither life nor property was safe in that country — that there were 8000 priestB scattered over the country , nearly all of them active agents of the repeal of the union ; and then he would ask the hon . gentleman — what was his remedy ? The hon . 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 the majesty 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 offeree could be appealed to with advantage . Although he 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 would never consent to hold oflice on the servile tenure 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 people 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 right hon , baronet coneluded by expressing his acknowledgments to those who were regularly opposed to his administration , but who had on the present occasion given him an honourable and disinterested support .
Lord J . Russelibriefly explained the motiveswhichhad induced him to take the course he had adopted in reference to this measure , and proceeded to justify the expectations of the Irish people that it would be followed by others of the same character , until perfect equality with the people of thi 6 country was attained . Ha referred to Lord Ingestrc's declaration that he would have opposed this bill had it been broughtin by theWhige , as an instance of the injustice with which that Government had been treated , and urged the present Ministry , as it was in no danger of similar treatment , to persevere in its present course . Mr . G . Paimeb made some observations , which WCfC not distinctly heard in the general impatience of the house , on the unmerited insinuations which Sir It , Peel had cast upon 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 Thebill was then read a third time . On the question that it do new pass , Mr . T . Duncosibe rose to propose the following motion , of whichliehad given notice : — " And beit enacted that the powers and provisions of this Act shall not continue and be in force longer than the 1 st day of August , 1848 , and from thence to the end of the then next session of Parliament , " Taking the present state of public feeling into consideration , he did not think that this was at all an unreasonable proposition . There had been petitions presented against this measure which were signed by abeut
1 , 300 , 000 , and only sixty petitions in favour of it , which were signed by abont 10 , 000 persons . When he saw what he might say was the unanimous feeling of the country on one side , and the opinion of the house on the other , he felt that lie had a strong right to ask for the limitation of the bill . The people said that if they voted this money iii 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 otiier of the annual supplies ; that they might as well make the Mutiny Act perpetual , as this grant . He believed that if this clause were adopted , it would act in the shape of a mossage of peace to many of the constituencies of this country . The hon . member having made his motion , The clause was read a first time . Upon the motion for the second rcadino of it ,
Sir R . Peel said that 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 wonld have the effect of removing any great portion of the objection which had been urged against the measure , but would materially depreciate its advantages . He should give the most decided opposition to the hon . member ' s proposition . The house ngain divided , when the numbers were—For the clause ,,,, 145 Againstit 243 Majority against the clause ...... —98 The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock .
Thursday , Mat 22 . At four o ' clock , there not being forty members present the house adjourned ,

Intelligent as most certainly the community n < w are , comparatively with the state of society in former times , still there appears to have been one essential matter overlooked in the search for intellkeuce and happiness . How often do medical men recommend exercise to their patients for Indigestion , Liver Complaints , Costivencss , Sick Head-aches , < bc .
