towns ( Dear . ) The petitioners alleged , urn wej were not about to receive a protection of lo per £ « t as the Government professrd that they would ; at least , not in tbefiner aud more weighty articles ; as to three the protection would not ha iibove 9 per cent They laughed a ' so at what tin- Government trot forward on the subject of smuggling . They described those atgumentei . s being - either sbeor tolly or intentional delusion . " and argued that the . publication of the names of the shopkeepers who sold the smuoekd goods , and a refusal to them ot a license to in
sell in future , would cifcctually stop smuggling articles of the kind , which were usually purchased bv persons of good condition who would dread exposure He wished that the arguments of the petition liad had a better advocate than he was . lie couid not hut regret that their lordships had refus-: < J to hear them : They had been treated in a manner which he never could have supposed that house would have adopted towards any class of well-conducted operatives . The noble duke concluded by moving that the article " silk" be struck from the schedule . LoidDiLHOBsre expressed his regret that lie had leea constrained , ppon preeedentand public conve nience , to resist the prayer ot the petitioners , whose case , however , had not suffered in the hands of the ™ Mo iinTre . The netitioners had complained , that
¦ whilst the bill professed to retain a duty of lo -per cent upon foreign silks , on many . articles it amounted to only nine per cent . The noble lord explained the difficulty ; of adjusting exactly the daty upon so large a number of articles , varying so much in value ; bnt he believed that 15 per cent , was as far as it was possible to fix it , the general amount of duty . With respect to the allegation of the petitioners , that twenty years aso the Legislature began that alteration in the silk trade from which they dated their depression , if , the noble lord observed , capital had been -withdrawn from this trade , the importation of the raw material had dinvnished , and the demands of tbe borne market and of the foreign trade had decreased , the petitioners might have a case founded upon their past history ; but if itt all these respects the very reverse was the fact , the petitioners were not borne out in their statement , and their prophecies were groundless .
The fact of silk manufactures being exported from tills country to France , which excelled in silk fabrics , v » as itself a triumphant proof of tbeabilily of our manufacturers to maintain a competition with foreigners . The noble Lord showed that onr silk trade had prospered during the last three months , since the reduction of duly had been actually in operation , and stated that there neverwas a time when , as a whole , those who were employed in the silk -trade were in a greater state of prosperity . In Spitaifields itself , advertisements for hands were put ¦ up , and tbe throwing-mills in the country could not get them in sufficient number . The very night on which theDnfce of Richmond was to- have presented the petition of the silk weavers ( a fortnight ago , ) a meeting of thoss wearers wasjheld to consider whether they should sot ask an increase of wages ; the meeting " was held , a rise of wagts asked , and many niastersin Spitaifields had acceded to the demand .
Lord Stanley asked , if ihe silk trade had been so prosperous , why it should be interfered with ? But he differed with Lord Dalhousie as to the facts , and as to the effeet , said to have been produced , having been produced not by diminishing tbe duty upon the kwt material , bat by the concurrent reduction of duty upon the manufactured article . ( Lord Stanley then produced counter statements of the silk trade 8 i « C 3 the year 1824 . Lord Dalhousie , he observed , Said spoken of the vast increase in the importation of raw silk ; but whilst the quantity bad increased from 1 , 333 , 000 lb ., the average of 1815 , 1 S 16 , and 1817 , to 3 . SSi , 0 OO ! b . in ISM , in 18 U it only readied 4 , 6 t ) iM ) 00 ib . —an increase of 800 , 0001 b . in twenty years , instead of 2 , 000 , 0001 b . in six years ; and of this Quantity great part consisted of knnbs and tasks—a specimen of which his Lordship exhibited ,
observing , that of this rubbish the largest portion of the boasted exports to France had been made . The nobie Lord in like manner , showed that , in the export trade and the imports of finished goods , the evidence of the success of Mr . Husldsson ' s msasure in JS 2 ± was equally equivocal . After pointinjr out various instances of the practical inequality of the silk duties , he stated that there was only one article In this trade in which wages had not fallen and were fftlHns . and that was figured velvet , which had a high protective duty of II . 7 s . Gd . per lb ., and that was now to be reduced to JR The noble Lord contended that the alteration was neither called for by policy , 3 jor justified by the arguments of Lord Dalhousie , and its effect would be to injure the revenue by reducing one-half duties vrhich now produced 300 O 0 OZ .

Ag ainst it 7 a Majority ajsinst the amendment 25 After a smart dialogue respecting a deputation irom the silk-weavcra to the Board of Trade , the ccliedale -was agreed to : the bill was reported xvithout amendments , and ordered to bo read a third time on Thursday . Their Lordships then adjourned at a quarter past twelve . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Toesdat , June 23 . The house met at four o ' clock . The report of the Glasgow , Dumfries and Carlisle Railway Bill was carried b 166 against 100 ; thus Teversing the decision of theiiousc on a former division . Mr . F . MaeI ; E cave notice that he would endeavour to . have this dtvisio nreversed on the third reading .
SUGAR DUTIES . . Public business commenced by Tlie Chancellor of tbe Exchequer moving that the report on the resolutions on the sugar duties agreed to by the Committee of Ways and Means , should be brought up . It was brought up accoruV inglv . On the question that the house agree to the said -resolutions , some conversation took " place between Mr . B . Escon , Mr . Hcire , the Ciuscbujor of the Excheo ^ eu , Mr . Momatt , Mr . James , Lord John Russell , and Mr . Thorjjlet , on the question
- whether , the temporary bill should continue the existing sugar duties or the reduced duties , of which uotiw had been given some time ago by Government . It was ultimately ajjre- d that it would not bs possible to carry any other bill , save that for continuing the existing duties , without opening the whole wide question of tie sugar duties . The resolutions were therefore ajjicjd to without amendment ; and a bill founded uprm them was ordered to be brought in by the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer . At a later hour it was brought in , read a firs :, and ordered u > be read a second time on Wednesday .
ilr . C . Bulleh then moved the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the best mode of providing a geneial record office for England and Wales . Mr . C . Wysse seconded the motion , and hoped that it would bs referred to the same Committee to consider the propriety of continuing the Record Commission , appointed not many jvars auo , and of publishuii certain works under its authority which now remained incomplete . Tise CuANCELLoi .-ofthc Exchequer gavo his conaent witij great pleasure to tus motion of Mr . C .

The two subjects—of building a TtecorU O ; :: c <; and of coaunuing the Record ComuiissioB , were quite distinct from each other . The motion was agreed to .

Hume objected to the principle of pay ins : those debts which had been incurred by the malversation of public functionaries . A sum oi £ 100 , 000 was to bu disposed of , and he thought the matter demanded explanation . The Chancellor of the Exche < jceb would undertake to enter on a detail of tiie circumstances for the infomVdtion Of the house when a mure convenient opportunity offered .

• he Reform Act , which required , as a conditi-nof XrSaae the franrhiee , that par ties -Aould dw-« uarge all rates and taxes due to the 6 th ol April , on or before the 21 st of the following July . H * wished to mitigate the effect of that clause by changing the dates contained in it , so that parties should only be required , on or before the 21 st of July , to pay the rates and taxes duo on the 11 th of October preceding . Another object was to alter the 80 th clause of the same act . ' » . i The Attorset- Gkneiul felt it his duty to offer the most determ ined opposition to this bill .
Mr . Home thought that the matter lay in a nutshall . The question simply was whether , mBtead of three , six months should be allowed for the payment of arrears . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . and learned Gentleman , when he said the time at present granted was .-ufficient , did not seem to be aware that people had business to do , and could not find an opportunity « f paying up the arrears , and going through the tedious preliminary process , within so limited a yeriod . He IMr . Hume ) objected altogether to the payment of tase 3 connected with the franchise , and hundreds of poreons lo ^ t their votes because they were ivaable , jnst at the appointed time , to comply with the law . ( Hear , hear . ) ; Mr . Williams did not object to the bill as far as it went ; but be wished it had gone much further . It was most unjust that these ineumurances should have been left so Ion ? upon the elective franchise .
Mr . Escon hoped they would go into committee on this bill . ( Hear , Hear . ) There was , he would admit , e reat inconvenience frequently resulting from the present system , and trequent opportunity was afforded for bribery . ( Hear , hear . ) ; - Sir J . Graham said , that if any alteration in the payment of rates clause in this bill would remove his objection to it , he would not think it necessary to ofFer any obstruction to the second reading and the progress of this bill into cummittee ; but the objection which he offered was to the principle ot the bill . ( Ilear hear . ) He could not consent to any enlargement of the period fixed by the Reform Bill with reference to the credit to be given for the payment of the
rate . That was not the'time to discuss question of the rate-payment clause in the Reform Bui . ( tfrar , hear ) Be did not pretend - to say that rating was an infallible test either of the intelligence or of the independeoce of the voter ; bathe was strongly of opinion , that imless they adopteduniversal suffrage , it was indispensable to show some test of intelligence and of independence , and that test , he considered , was most frequently to be found in property and solvency . ( Ilear , hear . ) The question now before them was a question of degree . The time now granted was three months ; and the object of this bill clearly was to enlarge this period to nine months . SirG . Gret supported the second reading of the billas it was intended to meet a practical evil .
, Mr . Bernal supported the motion , and Mv . Henley opposedit . . . . Colonel SiBTiroBp should oppose the bill , regretting that in so doing he should be obliged once more t& go into the lobby with "those right hon . gentlemen " ( the Government . ) He , protested against it being made a charge against the borough and city constituencies , that they were open to bribery by the payment of their rates and taxes . He denied the charge on the partof the constituency of Lincoln ; he . considered a £ 10 voter of " Lincoln equal to a £ 20 householder of St . Giles ' s . He should oppose the measure , because he thought it the beginning of universal suffrage . ' -
Mr . T . Duxcombe . —1 think ! heard the hon . and gallant colonel say . ' a Lincoln ton-pounder is equal to a twenty-pound voter of , St . Giles ' s ; , as , I have the honour of representing that parish , as . part of the borough of-Finsbury , I think'it ' due " to that constituency not to " allow the observation of the hen . and gallant colonel to pass unnoticed ; Perhaps' the hen . and gallant colonel is not aware how the parish of St . Giles is composed .. - ( Colonel Sibthorp— "No ; I am not . " Great laughter . ) It contains several of the . inns of court , and the residences of many of the most eminent lawyers ; the hon . and gallant colonel may have a differentidea of it ; he may , unfortunately , only have visited the lowest purlieus of that parish . ( Langhter . ) I confess Inever saw a Lincoln fen-pounder ( renewed laughter ) , but if I may be
allowed to judge of tkem by their representative ( laughter ) , I can only say , that from one end of Finsbury to the other—from St . Giles ' s to St . Luke ' s ( cbeere andiangnter ) , Inever saw , for elegance of diction , mental accomplishments ,., or personal adornment ( immense ' laughter , in which Sir R . Peel heartily joined ) , anybody in the least like the hon . aiid ' gallant representative of the tcn-poundere of Lincoln . So much for the parish of St . Giles and my constituents . Another extraordinary argument of the hon , and gallant colonel is , if you at all diminish the time allowed for payment under the rate-paying clause of the Reform Bill , it will be tantamount to universal suffrage ; then why is it not universal suffrage In the counties ? ( Ilear , hear . ) The payment of rates and < taxeg is not made a Qualification
for voting in counties , yet . tberc . it is not considered universal suffrage . I want to know why borough electors are put on a different footing from voting in counties ? I maintain that they are as respectable as the £ 50 tenants at will , and a great deal more in ^ dependent ; they are not the slaves and tools of their * landlords , and are in every respect as much entitled to a vote for members of Parliament , without paying these rates and taxes , as any county electors . This debate only shows the mischief of at all meddling with what is wrong and rotten in principle , like the rate-paying clause of the Reform Bill ; the measure of the hon . and gallant member for Westminster
is good as far as it goes , but ' . still it is hut bolstering nn a bad system .. "On a'former occasion ,. when the hon . gentlemen around me were in office , I succeeded in introducing and carrying against them a bill for the repeal of the rati ' -paying clauses of the Reform Act ; that bill was defeated on a subsequent stage ; the present measure does not go one quarter so far , and yet it seems likely to be thrown out on its second reading . This proves to me that this house is getting more and more aristocratic every day , more opposed to popular reforms , and is retrograding from public opinion , instead of advancing with it . . After remarks from Mr . Walpole and Mr . P . Howard . ' ¦ - ¦ .
Sir D . L . Evass said a few words in reply , and the house divided , when the numbers were—For the amendment . ' 94 For the second reading ... ; 53 Majority 41 . ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL . . The House then went into committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill . Sir R . Isous objected to a recital in the preamble of the bill , whereby it was declared expedient to repeal almost all the provisions of the Emancipation Act of 1829 , which , were considered at the time securities for the Protestant Establishment . Hecpnr eluded by moving , That the chairman do leave the chair . " . Mr . Watson defended the bill , and declared his willingness to qualify any clauses in it which , might be deemed objectionable . ¦ , ,
SirJ . Graham declared his intention of dividing with Sir R . Inglis against the bill . So long as we had an Established Church in full possession of its rights , titles , and privileges—titles co-terminous with thoae of the Established Church , ought not to be conferred on any prelates who did not belong to it . ¦ . •¦ ' •¦¦ Mr . Wtsb gave his . support to the bill , on the ground that it was desirable to establish a perfect equality between the Chuvch of England and the Church of Rome . . ¦ -. . . . -. * After some further discussion , the . Committee divided , and Sir R . Jnglis ' s . amendment" was carried by a majority of 120 over 10 voices . The House in consequence resumed .. . .....
On the motion of Mr . Hawbs , the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill was read a second time , on the understanding that the discussion should bu taken on the bill going into committee on Thur .-. ilay . The llousis then adjourned at G o'clock .

There has been no lack of ' emer-Heuciua "—muuv ol ' tiium . of the most tovmivinoie una alarming charucier ; but wu have got oJirougti iiicui ft-ith ^ uc legislation . The statute-book : has liotlling co » uo » v for tue emergencies ot the last filtee ' n years , except acts for the redress of grievances .

Bruisii policy , tftat—excepting , ot course , those cases 61 ' exueiau and overwneimiiig necessity , which make their own rules , and which would neither bear uor , requirelialf a

'be instantly recognised by , any'Parliament , on the application , of any Minister ! Tlie acknowledged success of the Government ' s vigorous enior < . eiueiit of the ordinary law in Leitrini , an ^ i the luct that we are about entering on the sixth inontli of our delibuvaiions as to the need oiany extraordinaiy law , afford-together a sufficiently reliable measure of the value of tAiYnecessity . ;
¦ -THh . perils cousuQuent on the Imperial Legislature ' s dealiug more laxly with Irishmen ' s liberties than witb . thoselot i EnglUhmeni were 'forcibly suggested by Lord John Kussell in his recent speech . As it ia a policy which goes counter to the idea of Imperial legislation by a united Parliament , it cannot be long persevered in without endangering the continued existence of tiie ikct . It js most dangerous , in the present state of opinion and feeling in . the sister country , to treat Ireland with less consideration and less furbearaucu than jEngland , Scotland , and Wales would receive in analogous circumstances . The legislative union needs all the moral supports that kindly , just , and equal government can give ic . Tlie : Iriau people are acutely sensitive just now —and can we
blame them ?—to every appearrnce ot legislative or administrative injustice and inequality . , As Lord John rlusselLimpressively remimWus , we arc" legislating under the eye" or parties already widely alienated — we hope and believe not incurably alienated—from the ( lovernmerit 1 that has too long tveated them and their countrymen as " aliens" from iinglish sympathy , and' from ' ¦ ' the . characteristic benefits of English citizenship . We can ill afford , at this time of day , to give anti-English prejudices and jealousies so great an advantage'as that of a marked departure , in tlieoaseot'Ii'eiand . i ' romchol ' undanieiuai and established maxims of imperial policy . If there really are to be two principles of Government for
different sections ot the United Kingdom , there may almost as weli' be t > yo Governnieiits . If the voice of the vast majority of the representatives of the Irish people , sitting at Westminster , is to go for absolutely nothing with the British Parliament ; there really does not seem much use in the representatives of the Irish people coming to Westminster . And it ' Ireland is not to be legislated for , by the Imperial Parliament ,. in the same spirit in which she would legislate for herself , it will be hopeless , to think-of persuading Ireland that she would not " do better' to legislate lor herself . Certainly this is the way Englishmen would reason were the ' relative ' positions ' and the caseB of the two countries reversed , ' ¦
We lerrently trust that the approaching decision of the' Iiouse of Commons , oh tue grave and momentous question now before it , will hot be such as tosiippJy the " Irioh ' iiiind with new data for this most perilous logic . The Repeal movement will then become really and imminently dangerous—when it becomes a movement which all juBt-niiuded Englishmen feel that they would participate in were they Irishmen , Not tor the sake of keeping the very bust of Ministers in office , can it be worth Englishmen's while to sanction ' , or quiescently to tolerate , a policy that brings into discredit the ' .. competency of the' ^ Imperial Parliament to do justice to Ireland —and that tends to legitimate , to the public opinion and conscience of Great Britain , an agitation for the tlhtmeiubisnuent of the empire .

Ilaydon ' s misfortunes and disappointments 1 in the profession of which he , wns so distinguished a member , have not been altogether hidden from the public His occasional appeals against the acts of injustice of which ( truly or not ) he undoubtedly believed himself the victim , had given to his name . a , melancholy celebrity , which his last fatalact ( arising as it will be seen to have done , from his latest disapmenfc ) cannot tail to increase in a very remarkable degree . Without dwelling any further on this sub ject . it may be briefly stated that Mr . Haydon a pecuniary circumstances had been for some time past ma very embarrassed condition . A short lime since , ; a valued friendto whom Mr . Haydon had made known TT ^ ^ t , ' imnn ' rv ciVrnrnii ! nv ' . B . R . HaYDON
, the state of his affairs , offered . to advance th ? sum necessary to relieve him from some pressing liabnii ties . On this circumstance ( inasmuch .. as his inability to meet the liabilities alluded to had thrown him into a very desponding state ) Mr . Haydon built strong hopes , which were , alas ! , destined only to meet a more cruel disappointment on his friend discovering that the property from which he had intended to advance Mr . Haydon the means of liquidating bis responsibilities was so " locked up" that he could not releaae It for the desired purpose . There is , however , enough already ascertained to justify the conclusion that the disappointment consequent ton the knowledge of bis friend ' s inability to serve hiinjin the matter above detailed has been the immediate cause of the rash act which has at once deprived the unhappy man of life , and left an exemplary widow and family of four children to moura the loss of one of the most indulgent husbands .
The unhappy man , shortly before ten o ' clock , appears to have entered his painting room ( the principal apartment on the . first floor of his . residence ) and here it was that he committed the dreadful act . It was usual for Mr . Haydon to loek _ himself into Mb apartment when engaged in painting , and he seems to have done so on Monday morning . In heribedroom , Mrs . Haydoo ,, who was with her eldest daughter , ( about a quarter to eleven o ' cloek ) , were alarmed by what appeared to be the stifled report of a gun or pistol . The troops , were exercising in the park close at hand , and as nothing ' particular succeeded the reports both Mrs , Ilaydon and her daughter , iinagined . that their alarm had originated from the . firing of the soldiers . Within , five minutes
a heavy fall on . the iloor of the room beneath was heard , but as Mr . Haydon was frequently in the habit of moving heavy pictures , and in so doing allowing the corners ofithem to fall suddenly on the ground , the noise was -attributed to that circumstance ; and no notice was takenofiti Shortly after eleven Mrs . Haydon left the house and proceeded to Brixton . - At a quarter past twelve Miss Hajdon , who is only sixteen years of age , prompted by filial affectjon and knowing the desponding state of mind in which her father had been for some time , went down stairs and knocked at the door of the painting room .- Not hearing' her father ' s usual prompt reply , Bhe tried the look ,.- which opened at her touch , and a moment ' a glance discovered the body of her unhappy parent ,
crouched Up together on the floor . Her first impression was that her father had fallen down in a fit . This allusion was , however , soon dispelled , and the frightful reality made manifest , Miss Haydon immediately rushed o ' ut'of < the house , and ran ; across the way to the residence of Messrs . Bryant and White , surjfeonB , ' in Burwood Place , the farmer of whom has fora Jong time been the family medical attendant . Mr . Bryant was unfortunately from home at the time , and a neighbouring surgeon was sent for . . Without waiting , however , Miss Haydonj throwing herself into a cab , directed the 1 man to drive-toiBrixton , " intending to proceed to Mr . Coulton ' s ,-where her mother had previously gone . Mr . Ooiilton and Mrs . Haydon crossed the unhapoy young lady on her way , and arrived
together in Burwood Place shortly after one 0 clock . Mr . Coulton ' s visit merely arising from some matters of business lie wished to transact with Mr . Haydon . On entering the house they learned ithe . 'dreadful tidings . Mr ; Coulton , " who was almost intimate friend of the unhappy artist , immediately proceeded up staira , where he found the body of the deceased , in the state described , " and on the table several sealed packets . The first of these was addressed to "Mrs . Haydon , my dearest love . " It contained-several letters , one to herself , imploring-her . forgiveness for the additional pang his last act would add to the many he had already given her , and expreseing a hope that Sir Robert Peel would consider he ( the deceased ) had earned a'pension for her . He'also alluded to the receipt ef a cheque for £ 50 from the private imrse of the ' ritjht hon . baronet , on the
previous Friday , £ 10 of which he directed should be given to his daughter , £ 10 to his son Frank , and the remainder to be appropriated to her own purposes . The packet also contained a latter to his children , enjoining them t » lead a pious life , and live affection ;* tely with each other . Another packet contained the deceased's will , in which he appointed as his executors , Mr . Srrg . Talfourd , Mr . Coulton , and Dr . Dorling ; This document is of a most extraordinary and ' elaborate character , and gives a full detail of the unhappy man ' s life and difficulties . It also wills his various pictures to different individuals . A third packet contained three lettei' 3 ; addressed respectively to the'Right Hon . Sir R . Peel , Sir G . Cockbtirn , and Mr . Sergeant Talfourd . These Mr . Coulton took possession of , arid immediately delivered in person . No trace was discovered of any' letter addressed to the Dukeot ' . Sutktsrland . ;
Within two hours of ihe receipt of Mr . Haydon ' s letter Sir Robert Peel replied to Mr . Coulton , as the principalexecutor ' of the ' unhappy deceased . His letter , afterexpressirig how painfully lie was shocked at the intelligence Mr : 'Ikydon ' s letter had coramu . nu-atfld , went on to state' that ; as he feared the family mi ^ ht be in need nf somn immediate assistant ^ , ' he had tli ' iiUKht it rijiht to Gnclose a cheque for 200 / . from the Royal Bounty Fund , ' as a temporary relief . The Right Hon . Baronet further stated that-besupposed a permanent provision Cor the family would be immediately suggested , and if so , he begged to adil that 30 far aa his own private purse and personal influence Were concerned ; , both might be commanded , ' There was another paper ' found , headed "The last thoughts of Haydon at half-past 10 o ' clock , " one of the principal points in which was a comparison ot the . characters of the Duke of Wellington and Napoeon Buonaparte . , . ¦
An examination of the . body proves that the deceased must have first fired a pistol into his head , a perforated , bullet-wound being . visible in the parietal bone . This appears not to have had a fatal effect ; and there are traces of blood about the room where deceased'appears to have subsequently walked to ob tain possession of a razor , with which he ; afterwards inflicted two severe gashes in his' throat , and thus caused death . v m v -. . . The Coroner ' s inquiry is appointed to take place this day . : :

Ijriug . The head partially rested upon his right arm , and near the latter were lying two razors , the one in a case , and the other smeared with blood half open by his side .- There was also near the same spot a nirmll pocket pistol , which appeared to have been recently ( iischm'tfi'd , though it was on half-cock when discovered . The unhappy man appeared to have fallen in the exact position in wniuh he was seen by the Jury . He v . us dressed with great neatness , in the ordinary attire which ho wore while engaged in painting . .. His throat had a frightful wound extending to nearly seven inches in length , and there wns also a perforated bullet wound in theupptr nu' -t of the scalp over the pavieiu . 1 bone .
