' . erisg Into a long ¦ olsriario ' n upon a question of this Mad , wnlch woull lead W no useful recult , and mvut only end in the postponement " of the bill ; the course , therefore , they ha * thought the best which , ' under existing circumstances , they could adopt , ' was to withdraw the bill for the present session . ( Load expressions of surprise , blended with laughter , in trtiicb . Mr Hudson joined with so much heartiness that his mirth becanir infections , and extended to all the members near him excepvdlonelSibthuri . ) The gorernment had thought it best that ttoej should withdraw this bill , arid nextses ^ tioa introduce another bill founded upon this . Hemmed , therefore that the order of the day for the second reading of the bill be Jisehareed .
Col . Sibthom rose but was at first inaudible , owing to the noise of member * rising and leaving the house . Raisine : his voice , the ban . and gallent member . said , he bad never in his life known such vacillation on tlie part Of a govenrnent .- Was it fair that the house shonVl S thus trifled witb by a government which was , if possible , "worse than tno lastt ( A laugh . ) They had been brought d « vn to the house , and sat listening for two loirs to a speech of tbe rijiht hon . gentleman which had ended in nothing . For shame ! . ( Hear , hear . ) . Was it lair to hon . members to be brought down to the housp , and thus treated with contempt 1 When he beard the Tight hon . gentleman ' s concluding declaration , he susptct ; d—and he believed the right bon . gentleman , the xnemfor for Snnderland ( Sir Hudson ) , mast have had
"the same impression to " , for he was too honourable a nan to be intriguing with government—be might suspect , and he did suspect that there had been gross underhand business cannected with the management , or rather tbe mismanagement of this bill , when they saw the government . daring to insult ihe people of this country in tueh a manner . Be thought the house would agree with him that it was insulting to the country , anil trifling with the country for the right hon . gentleman to bring hon . members down to the l . euse to listen to a two hour *' speech , and then subject them to this unworthy treatment . Talk ef bringing in the bill next ( session , they dared not do it ; they would shrink from it . He reserved to himself the right , and he gave notice of hU in . tention to call the attention of the bouse , on the first
Committee of Supply , and to bring before the public tbe mass of evidence of grow misconduct connected with Hkio monopolizing schemes . The house must take step * Wore it is too late to secure the pnblic against the « ffeets of this misconduct . He asserted that tho public were not aware of one-twentieth part of what hadoc carted with regard to railroads . He koew that the gentlemen whoooadneted the public ' press did , ns it was their dntj to do . give publicity to what was going forward ; bat in spite of their attention , and assiduity , and fidelity , and accuracy , they were not aware ef many ( acts of which he possessed a knowledge . The next parliament , he expected , would be « . railroad parliament , and the government would say there was such an opposition to tbe measure that they feared to be left in a minority , and
thereby lose thur situations ,-and they would , as they had done now , truckle to the railway interest , as th < y 'Often did to parties on their own side . Oh , what a melancholy state of things was this for the country ! If that great man , Mr Pitt , were in the house , he Blight troly exclaim , " Oh , save my coantrj ! He ( Colonel Sibthop ) hardly believed such conduct had been exhibited by any government . He did not believe it was the in . tention of the government to attempt tointroduce this hill next session , but if he were returned to . the next parliament the would take up the question of railroads , which he had been prevented from doing sow by the pusillanimity of the present government . He could not tit down without expressing , not bis regret but his satisfaction , at having hadan opportunity of witnessing their pusillanimity , so worthy of the government
Mr Roebuck said , a more undignified way of disposing of a measure by a government he had never seen . He found upon tbe paper a notice , that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to move tbe second reading of . the Railway , ( No . 2 ) Bill before tbe ether orders , and he had come down with other members , expecting that the government , - as they had solemnly declared , were to go en with the bill , and he found , on a sudden , that the UB was to be withdrawn . They had thus lost a day , and a great part of another day , and had to listen unnecet . earily to a two hours' speech . He thought that
something must have happened since the votes were printed . The house had mis 3 ed one railway mil ; there was an-O&ef , the Railway ( Ireland , So . 2 ) Bill . He was anxious to know whether the noble lord would at onoe give np the Railways ( Ireland ) Bill . He wished to pay every deference to the noble lord , as to the mode in which he proposed proceeding with his own measures , but he must at the game time observe that that was a measure which could not pass without considerable discussion ; be therefore wished to know whether the noble lord intended to press it during the present
session ! Mr Hoosoir expressed his acknowledgments to Mr Strntt for the withdrawing tbe bill , and warned the house « f the inconvenience of tampering with property , sow Mounting in value to nearly two hundred millions sterling . Lord J . BcssEiL denied that the object of the bill was unnecessarily to interfere with private property , it being imply to improve the railway system of the country . He then stated that it was the intention of the government to proceed with tie Irish Railway Bill ; in reference to which hfa views were very different from those expressed by Mr Roebuck . The second reading of the Irish Railway Bill waB then postponed till Friday ;
Lard G . Bestkck , after once more congratulating the government upon its adoption , in reference *) the bill , of the principle which he had advocated in introducing the sixteen Trillion bill , intimated that it was not bisintention to offer any amendment to it , but to press upon the gjrernmentthe necessity for a further practical extension of tbe principle which it embodied . - The bill was then withdrawn , several others followed in its wake , and tbe other orders having been disposed of , the house rose at a quarter past eight o ' cloek . TDESDAF , Jdhb 22 . HOUSE OP LORDS . — IUhwat Bceisess . — Lord BroHGBIS , In postponing his railway resolutions until Monday next , took occasion to express his disappointment at the sudden withdrawal of the Railway Bill in the other house of parliament . Anything more lament . abl v he might ada more ridiculous , he never knew . Bishopric of Makceeshi Bin . —On the order of the dayfor the committee on this bill , ~
The Bishop of Exeter said that there seemed to him to be special objections to it on constitutional grounds . The bill dalmedfor the sovereign the right of appointing Kdiftps without at the same time giving to tnsm their writ of summons to the House of Peers . Now , according bith to Lord Coke and Sir Matthew Hale , this was a contravention of the constitution . The Lots CaiHCEixoa said that the bill claimed no unconstitutional power for the crown . Nobody questioned the right of every bishop existing to his writ of summons , hut this was a scheme for creating feur new bishops without that right , except as vacancies should occur , and the scheme was expressly submitted to parliament for its approbation . The crown would do nothing in the mat . ter without the consent of parliament . The house then went into committee . The first clause was agreed to .
Lord Resesdale moved the omission of the second clause , and to substitute the following : — " And whereas doubts may arise whether bishops of the new sees to be established under the powers of this act may not demand , as of right , writs of summons to parliament , be it therefore enacted , pursuant to the declaration of Her Majesty herein bafere recited , that until Her Majesty shall be graciously pleased to lummen to parliament any bishop holding one of the said seel , no bishop holding that see shall be entitled to demand , as of right , a writ of summons to parliament . " After a brief discussion , in which Lord Stanley , the Lord Chancellor , asd the Bishop of Londen , took part their lordships divided—For the original clause U For the amendment 14 Majority ....,,... —SO
The remaining clauses then passed through committee , and after the various bills had been advanced a stage their lordships adjourned at a qusrter . past eight . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mr TitUESs once more directed the attention of the house to tbe issue pending between himself and Mr Christie , in reference to the nature of the questions put by the Utter to 8 ir F . Lewis , who was examined as a witness before the Andover committee , and read several extracts from the journals oi the House , which lie contended justified the allegations which be bad made with respect to the improper nature of tbe questions alluded to . ;
Mr Christie said he was satisfied from the mode in which the house yesterday received the denial he gave to the statement of the hon . member for Wolverhampton , and from the testimony which was borne to his conduct by those hon . members who saw and heard him daily , what the feeling of the house was , and he should think it beneath him again to deny what he had yesterday denied on his honour as a gentleman . ( Hear . ) The matter then dropped . _ Co * roD OT iEs .-Mr Must * then moved that tne Bone * msoIw itself Into a committee of customs to consider the dnUes upon the importation of copper ( Act 5 and 6 Viet ., c . 47 , ) with a view to their reduction or ' abo-JUfon . 'Mr Ewabt seconded the motion . And after a few words from Sir CHmis Leho . v
TheCBiscEixoaof tbe Exchequer ., without entering into tbe question involved in the motion , felt himself called upon to resist it , as he was not then in a better situation than he was at the commencement of the session , when he resisted similar motions presented by other nononrablo gentlemen , to sacrifice anj item of the national income . A desultory conversation ensued , after which the house divided , and the numbers were—For the motion 19 Against it , 59 Majority . —40
"Waste Lands is Ibelasd . —Mr P . Sceope rose to move— . " That the waste lands of Ireland offer an available resource for the immediate employment and future maintenance of apart of her population , now apparently redundant ; and that it is expedient to apply them to this great national object , making equitable compensation to their present proprietors . " Twelve years ago he brought before the bouse a similar proposition , and he th ' ougktlt ^ one of the'most important measures for-the relief of Ireland . Half a million of men were starving for want of employment ,

An Hob . Hum here moved that tbe h » us » -be counted , and there being only thirty members present , the house stood adjourned at half-put seven , o ' clock WEDNESDAY , Jum 23 . ' : HOUSE OF COMMONS .-After disposing of some private business , and a , conversation as to the time when several important bills would be proceeded with , t -e house went iuto committee on the Seduction and Prostitution Bill . Clause 1 was agreed to wm . eon . The second clause ^ enacting that no indictmsnt should be quashed for want of form , was expunged . " ' ¦ •¦ - On the third clause , which provided that the court may order payment of costs and expenses of ¦ prosecutors and witnesses . ...
Mr C . Beikele t moved the omission of the words " whether any bill of indictment for such charge shall or sbsll not be actually preferred , " and also of the words " together with a compensation for their trouble and loss of time . " Mr SrooNEB had no objection to the amendments , and they , were accordingly agreed to . The remaining clauses were tbon agreed to , , On the question that the bill be reported , , .. . .. . . .. Mr BoiBrcK said that he objected to the . principle of this bill altogether . His objection was this , ( bat the bonse in passing this bill were travelling out of the real
province of legislation into the province of simple moral , ity , and that they were attempting by legislative interference to bring about that which no mere law could ever effect . He objected also to the details of the . bill as well as to the principle . It was proposed to punish the offence in question by imprisonment , " with or without hard labour , in the common gaol or house of correction fur any term not exceeding two years , " Now , this was almost the largest extent of imprisonment applied , to any crime whatever . He considered also that under this bill any man could be made the victim of the vilest con . spiracy .. ¦ . . # ¦
Mr Spooner said , that the objection which had been taken to the measure , namely , that it proposed to effect an object which should be left to the influence ' of morality , applied to every penal statute for the suppression of crime . He would not enter into details , hut if it were fitting to do eo , the . house would be appalled by the extent to which this crime was carried by agents all over the country ; and the victims were chiefly , the children of cottagers and artisans . MrC . Birkelet . was of opinion that the . bill would only increase the evil which it was intended to remedy . He expressed his regret that the discussion which took place on the subject when the . measure was . last before tho honco had not been reported , and concluded by moving as an amendment , that the report should be received that day six months .
Sir J . Pakington complimented the gentlemen through whose iastrumentality an account of wliat passed in that bouse was usually conveyed to the public upon tbe discretion they had shown in refraining from entering at any length into this subject when it was last under the consideration of the house , ( general approbation , ) and be hoped they would pursue a similar course on the present occasion . After some further conversation , SirO . 6 kx said , lie admitted there was some force in the observations of the honourable member for Bath , but he thought it would be unfair to the bon . member for Birmingham wholly to abandon the measure . The course he should suggest was , that the chairman ( hcald report the bill , and between the present time and the consideration of the report tbe hon . member for Birmingham should , with the legal members of the committee , re-consider the clause , and either omit the second part of it altogether , or otherwise obviate the objections to it
Mr T . Ddncbhbe said that tbe second section of the first clause had been suggested by him in the select committeeto whom the bill bad been referred , because he thought that therich , ' who created the temptation to the crime of seduction and prostitution , should be equally punished with the poor panderers to them . If the committee should reject that provision , he hoped the house would rejeot the bill altogether . . The Chauhah then put the question that the bill with amendments be reported to the house . Mr C . Berkeley , moved as an amendment that the chairman do now leave the chair , as he could not in : form move that the bill be reported that day six months . The committee divided , — For the amendment .... ... ... 28
Againstit ... ... gj Majority againstit -55 Poor Removal Act Amehdmest Bin . —Mr 0 . Bakes moved the second reading of the Poor Removal Act Amendment Bill . SirJ . S . Pakirotok opposed the bill . It would in fact repeal the settlement act of last session , which would be to commit a great outrage on the poor , and to rob them of one of the most valuable boons that bad ever been conferred upon them . Admitting that the act had
produced hardship in some particular cases , be contended that those cases were attributable to the harshness and cruelty of guardians whs had sought thereby to drive away paupers from their parishes . The real motive of this bill was not the benefit of the poor , but the relief of the rate-payers , wbo complained of the additional burden which had been ttoown on them by tbe Settlement Act The proper remedy was not to Repeal that Act , but to make a further alteration in the law of settlement . He would move that this bill be read a second time that day six months . . ..... .
Sir Q . Gmy . said the bill would have his decided opposition ; for it repealed the very substance of the Sattlement Act—the principle embodied in the first clause — whereby a certain term of residence wbb held to preventremovals . Thii principle had heenBffiimedtopre . vent the evils arising from the sudden removals of large masses of labourers on their being thrown out of employ , ment . Though this principle might have operated hardly on some rate-payers , the balance of advantage had been decidedly in favour of tbe poor . Sir George admitted that inconveniences had arisen out of the Act of lastsession , and that it would be necessary within a short period to censider fully the law of settlement and removal ; but he objected to immediate and temporary legislation , such as this billproposed . . MrR . Palmer , the Marqais of Granby , Mr Spooner , Mr V . Sminb , Mr Rice , and Mr P . Miles , addressed the house in support of the Bill ; Sir J . Graham aud Mr C . Buller in opposition to it .
Sir J . Grahak said h « had distinctly stated when he brought forward the bill of last year , that he did not propose it as a oompeniatUn to the landed interest in consideration or the Repeat of the Com Laws , Which had been alleged in the course of the debate , The bill last year did not propound a new principle with reference to industrial residence for five years giving a right to relief , for it had been introduced in a former bill on the law of settlement . He dissented from the ¦ tatement thatthe measure of last year was favourable to the nchand ^ not to the poor , and he opposed the bill now before the house because although the old measure might involve one rate-payer in partial injury , its repeal would be an universal wreng to the great body ?! *? £° '! *?•* " P P » wbo" applied
J „ ever for relief for fear of heing « moved-a mo ' ext n ^ class too-and the industrious Irun who had Ubourld in the manufacturing districts of this country for five years , and who were removed the moment they applied for assistance . To these classes of paupers the WU of last session was a great boon . It would give relief to hundreds who had contributed by their industry to tbe wealth of England , but wdo were removed the momens they sought for parochial aid . ( Hear , hear . ) He confidently expected that on the opening of a new parliament the gorernment would be prepared with a measure on the law of removal and settlement , MrG . Banks replied , and the house divided—For the second reading of the bill ... 102 Against it ... 165

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Bbqcoham asked whether the government bad received information of an insurrection having taken place in the Portuguese colony of Angola , after the arrival of the Torres Yedras prisoners there , and whether Count Bosnfin , ' who was one of them , was not now the governor of the colony . The Marquis of Laksdowre said he had heard such a report , bnt doubted Its accuracy . '"'"' . » Some bills were advanced a stage , and the houseiadjourned . '

Hannah Filby , who bore an infant in her arms , and seemed in the deepest grief , stated , that shortly before 12 o ' clock on Friday night , tbe prisoner , her husband , came home in a very exctad state and proceeded to quarrel with her . This continued for some time , and be . suddenly left the room , saying " That he would put an end to all this . " . She then placed the child on the bed , and in a few moments he returned with a razor , and throwing the blade quite back , ran to the bed , and stooped over the child . Having ao doubt what he intended to do , she grappled with him and called but "Murder ! " and
"Police , " and , after a desptruteeffort , she succeeded in restraining him until an officer , named Douglas , who resided in the same house , came to her assistance . With the aid of another constable , who was called from the street , the raior was eventually wrenched from his hand ; and he was secured . Douglas , No . 30 , confirmed her statement : —The prisoner was a violent man , he was constantly quarrelling withher , ' and he ( Douglas ) was satisfiediftheratorhadnotbeen takenfromhim . more dreadful consequences must have ensued . He was an exceedingly indolent man , and cared little for the comfort of his wifeand family , The prisoner denied that he nas an indolent man .

The hearing of the case occupied the magistrate for sometime , but the short facts were these . On the 20 th of A . pril last the watch belonging to the complainant was left at the shop of a watchmaker named Thomas Kemp , then residing at No . 58 , Oakley-street , " Lambeth , to be repaired . Soon after Kemp absconded , taking with him , or previously disposing of , upwards of twenty watches which had been left with , him to repair .
And on the 10 th of May Mr Nutman , the , brother , of the complainant , received a letter from Mrs Kemp , in which was enclosed the duplicate of his sister ' s watch , which was pledged at the shop of Mr Wood for £ 5 . He subsequently called at the shop of Mr Wood , and uaoa paving Is . Sd . interest , and 4 d . for a naw tick « t , he was shown the watch , which he identified as his Bister ' s , and the shop , man made a fresh ticket in his own name . An application was subsequently made at this court , and a warrant was granted against Kemp , but he has managed to elude the vigilance of Sergeant Goff , an active officer , who holds it . Mr Humphreys , who attended on the part of the
defendant , raised several law and other points against the proceeding . He also read from the Pawnbroker ? Gattlle the particulars of an . application made only the week before last to Mr Hardwick , sit Marlboroughatreet , for a summons against a pawnbroker for detaining two watcheB under precisely similar circumstances as in the present caie , and that magistrate refused to grant it , as the person pawning had not been proceeded against . Mr Elliott , however , was of opinion that the proceedings in the present case were in strict conformity with tbe law ; thatthe case had . been clearly established , and ordered the defendant to deliver up- the watch ' to Miss Nutman .

WORSHIP STREET . — Av Atcobnkx's Doinqs . — A master bootmaker , carrying on business in the Immediate neighbourhood of the court , requested Mr Brougfcton ' s assistance to procure redress from an attorney , in the occasional habit of practising at this' and other police courts , and against whom Mher oomplaints of unprofessional conduct and practices have been , preferred upon previous occasions . The applicant , who appeared to be suffering under extreme mental distress and anxiety , stated that after struggling hard for a'length ef time past to obtain a subsistence for his wife and ten children , he had lately found hiniBelf involved in pecuniary difficulties , from which it was impossible to extricate himself , and having , by the advice of'his principal creditor , resolved upon obtaining a fiat in bankruptcy ,
he was reeommended to apply to a solicitor to adopt the necessary proceedings on his hfchalf . He accordingly waited upon that person , who told him that the expenses of working the commission would come to £ 10 , and that £ 3 of that amount must : be paid immediately ' , before any steps whatever could be taken ; : He ffag in such a penniless state that it was only with extreme difficulty he could raise even that amount , but he sue ceeded in borrowing it , and handed it to the attorney , upon wbem he impressed the necessity of immediate proceedings being taken , as several actions had already been commeBced against him in the County Court , and oneof which was to be adjudicated upon on the following Saturday . The attorney promised that , prior to that day , tbe fiat should be struck , and he accordingly on the Satur .
day attended at the County Court and explained to the judge the course he had been compelled to adopt , when a week ' s time was given him to obtain the necessary vouchers in authentication of his statement . ' After repeated applications to the attorney , however , without any satisfactory result , he at length went to the Bankruptcy Court , and there found that not a single step had been taken in the matter , aud the attorney himself , upon being closely pressed , admitted' the fact , and put ' him off with an indefinite promise bis money should be returned . ' - The result of this conduct was , that judgment had been entered up against him in' three separate actions ; which had been previously temporarily suspesded on the faith of hie representation as to his bnnkruptcj beiDg correct , and he was now in momentary expecta .
tion that the whole of bis goods would be seized in execution , and his wife and family turned houseless into the streets . Mr Broughton saiatliat it was certainly a very cruel case ; and he greatly regretted that hei was ' uriable to render the unfortunate applicant ' any effective assla : tance , but he would direct one of " the officers Ws « e the solicitor upon the subject , arid ; endeavour at least to inducehim to refund the money , ' ' which he had received for rendering a service which it was evident he had not performed . The applicant ezpreBBed his ' thankfulness to the magistrate , ' and quilted the court / accompanied by Haywood , the warrant-officer , ; who afterwardB returned and Btated that his attempts to obtain an in ; tervlew with the person alluded to had been us jBt unsuccessful .

¦ ,.- THE BRITISH CORN TRADE : . Tbe ; weatherha 8 been decidedly broken throughout the past week ; and though the rain which hasfallen has done no further positive mischief than damaging a portion of the hoy in early districts , , where cutting was commenced the first week in June , still it has causedsomeuneasiness . Bp to thepresent time the reports from the agricultural districts continue to speak well of the grain crops , but the complaints respecting the re-appearance of the potato disease have lately increased . The very important fall which took place on Monday week in the price of wheat had a depressing effect on all the leading provincial markets . A large fleet of vessels grain laden , have this . weekarrived off , the coast , the greater part at Cork and Falmouth for orders ; this " arrival is principally from the Mediterranean , and has been long expected By far the greater number of the ships appear to be laden ' with "Indian corn ; and that article ha 9 consequently fallen materially in value , not only in London ana Liverpool , but likewise in Ireland—MarkAane Ex . press ; . - ¦ ¦
