The amendment was carried .-The Chairman wished that a slight error which occurred in the Xorihei n Star , respecting him should

John Collins could not be admitted a member of the Convention , the Chartists also having protested against his election . Mr . Rose , it appeared , seconded this motion of Mr .

communicate t j you , our solemn protest against his sitting in the C-jnvcBtioa . " We well know that as he is not with 'is ho must be against us . We hope yon will set your faces against the renegade , and send him about his business to Birmingham , thereto sleep in eternal obscurity . I received a letter from our incarcerated friend , poor S . Holberry . The bloody Whigs will not allaw him to rcc . ive a letter but once in three weeks , or to fcind out trit une during the same time . You will bear in mind that all the signatures to our petition are those of pcr&ons not under fifteen years ef age . Yonra , ic W .

M / Doirvl , in which that gentleman said that he would attend in the House with every indication in favour of tha proposal , subject to the consideration wm-: h he was iwund ;^> &ive e ^ ory subject that came before the House . Mr . Martin staled that he and Mr . Wall waited on Mr . Brocklehurst , who received them must kinaly and detained them in a discussion of upwards of one hour , lie recommended education as calculated to ameliorate the con-ition oi" ta « people . He condemned the rigour oi' North-illrrton Gaol , and reprobated the tread mill . Id fact , he expressed
hi = unqualified disgust at the proceedings adopted aguiiu-i the Cnarast prisoners .- He will no doubt support the cause- ( Hear . ) Mr . Martin informed him that the Chartists were not supporters of the Tories , but that if the Whigs continued to incarcerate them and the Tories struggled for their liberation , tha ; the Chartists would undoubtedly endeavour to return Chartist Members at the next election , ana in the event of failing in that would give their support to the Tories . ( Hear . ) He then called upon Mr . Matthew Attwood , the banker , and partner of Spooner , who was by turns a Whig , a Tory , and a Radical . He was frem home . Messrs .

( Hear . )
Mr . Cuilum reported that he and Mr . Rose called upon thirty membera but c-juld see only three . Mr . Sianey occupied them nearly two hours , discussing the origin of Chartism and the conduct o : the Whigs . He was for progressive reform , and was satisfied that if the Chartists proceeded quietly , that they would in time obtain all they looked for . ( Hear , hear . ) He wished Frost , Williams , and Jones ' s case to be kept a part from others ; and that the xaajcr and minor offences of the prisoners should be clashed . He was for rational liberty , but opposed to the point ? of the Charter . He spoke of the support he gave the Drainage Bill , and other remedial measures . He recommended that the working classes should establish an accumulating Fund by means oi
small deposits which would have the effect of guarding them against any attempt to reduce their fail and j ist wages . ( Hear , hear . ) He further said , that the average wages were in 1827 ,, either ten oi fifteen shillings a week . The delegates convinced him that wages had been reduced twenty per cent He thsn spoke of the Nottingham election , and asked what were the feelings of the working mer respecting it : the delegates replied , that either ir isolated cases or general elections , the Chartists would return Chartist members ; and if they did noi succeed in returning them *| hey would give theii support to the Tories . (^ Br , hear . ) Mr . Slanev said that that was bad p « : v , and concluded b \
assuring the delegates , tha ^ te would give the ques tion every consideration . jj Lord Somerset kindii received them . He said he could not support th ' petition , especially that part which reierred to Fro » : Williams , and Jones , as he was a witness to th effects of their doings . He could not interfere betwee . the decis : oa of the jury and the judges , but if a cas > of peculiar hardship was proved , it would meet hi attention . Mr . Hope was most anxious to ameliorai the condition of the working classes .. He would no promise to support the sweeping measures of th petition which sought the total liberation of th Chartist prisoners . He would , however , giTe it hi Consideration . ( Hear , hear . ) A miluer petitioi "would certainly have his support .

Ridley , vice Mr Collins had accompanied him . They had interview ; with four Members of Parliament . Mr . M'Kinnoi would give th * question his consideration . Th < Hon . G .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , May 12 . Mr . Easthope moved for leave to bring in a Bill fox the abolition of church-rates in England and Wales , and suggested that the discussion should be taken on the second reading . This was opposed by Dr . Nicholl , and after some discussion Mr . Easthupe withdrew his motion , and gave notice of its renewal on that daj fortnight . Tie adjourned debite on the sugar duties was then resumed by Mr . Macau lay , who replied to the speecL of Mr . Gladstone , on the previous evening , although , he said , he had previously no intention of taking anj ahare in the discussion . He looked in vain to the
resolution of th « Noble Lord opposite iLord S ^ ndon ) for the assertion of any great principle . On the contrary , it appeared to him to be nothing more than a skilfullycontrived party movement , with a view to displace the present Ministry , without at all committing their successors . There was not in the resolution anything to prevent the supporters of it from coming down hereafter with the very measures which the resolution was now brought forward to defeat . It was impossible to lay down the principle that we ought not to consume in these countries the produce of slave labour ; for , if so , we must exclude the slave-grown cotton of th . 6 United States . Still further , in order to be consistent , we should prohibit the consumption of slave-grown sugar in Newfoundland , Canada , the Cape , and in the Wes ; Indies ; for where was the principle of allowing it to be consumed there , while
prohibiting it in Yorkshire . Yet he was well con-Yiaeed that if a proposition was made to exclude slavegrown cotton from Brtish consumption , not only Sit K . Peel and Mr . Gladstone , but even Dr . Lushington himself , would scent the proposition as an emanation of madness . He quite approved of the principle of endeavouring to put down the slave trade by means of British cruizers , but he was by no means prepared to go the length of prohibiting all intercourse with those states in which slavery existed . It was very doubtful whether the exclusion of cotton would benefit the slaves in America , but a certain effect of such a proceeding would be to plunge thousands of Englishmen in ruin and destruction , and—a probable one ^—the transfer of our manufactures to other countries . The Right Hon . Gflntleman denied that the budget had been brought forward without great confidence on the part

of the Government tbat they would be able to carry Its chief propositions . At all errata the good seed was sown , and before long the proposed reforms would become the law of the land . It might be true that tbe present Ministry might not eccnpy their present place , but they would remain true to the principles of their party , and it would not ba the flrst instance in which tbat great party bad willingly yielded the harvest to parties who had taken no shue in sowing the seed . Sir G . Clebk said he was astonished that any person of the name of the Right Hon . Gentleman should have said that it was quixotic and absurd to attempt to put a stop to slavery by discouraging the produce of slate labour . No one would deny those principles of tree trade which might be considered as axioms in the
abstract No one would contend against the principle that we should not force our poor lands to produce what we might get cheaper from more genial climates . In the abstract there vrri no denying the principle , but then chere were disturbing causes , such as the national debt and others , which bo raised the -value of money , that it was hopeless to enter into competition with foreign countries without adequate protection . He believed it would be admitted tbat , in respect to articles of food , it was desirable to render this country , as far as possible , independent of foreign supply , but this could not be accomplished if the protection afforded by the Corn Laws were withdrawn . The Riebt Hon .
Gantleman contended that this country in bringing sugar from Brazil to ba rtfined here , and re-exported , did not add to the evils of the slave trade , because Brazil was already in possession of the European markets , and what was thus brought did not supply the place of sujar the produce of free labour , which weuld be the case if it was admitted for consumption in the home market The Right Hon . Gentleman concluded by declaring his intention to oppose tbe proposition of the Government as calculated to disturb our commercial relations , without at all benefiting the consumer , while it would be injurious to the West Indies , and would afford great encouragement to the slave trado .
Mr . "VFaud said that the proposition of the Noble Lord ( Sandon ) was very ekiljul , as was very clear from the ease with which the Right Hoa . Member for tbe Tower HatuMs iDr . Lushinjton ) hatl fallen into the trap laid for iiiui . Th- ; Hon . Member contrasted the condition of <> ui- manuka turing population with that of tbe West Inili . iii negroes , anil said that the prosperity of the latter -wi . ui . i be far more k ratifying if it was the result of labour finding its own level in the European markets ; but , n ; i ' oiiuualu ) y , it was the result oi an indirtct tt-x which prefctd heavily on the poor of Ensl rod . He wr . s of opinion tbat the Com Laws might bo altogether repealed if corresponding changes were mude in our Steal regulations . The question they niUjht rest assured , whether understood in that House or on tha contrary , wa-s perfectly well understood by people out of doors , and wouM not be readily abandoned .
SirR . Ingl : s said that the qu stion before the House was not whether the budget uf the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to be agreed to , or the contrary , but . vhcthtr the House was prepared to place the slave owner in a better position than that iu which he noW stood . Ha hoped that neither tbat Hsuse nor the people of tbis country would ever consent , for the sake of getting their au ^ ar u , penny a pound cheaper than it cost them , to offer such a direct premium for persevering in the traffic in slaves . Mr . C . Wood regretted that so little solicitude for the suffering people of tbis country had been displayed by those who supported tho resolution of the Noble Lord , tbe Member for Liverpool ( Lord Sandon > . The Hon . Member for Nottingham ( Mr . Walter ) had
certainly called upon thb House to take into consideration the condition of the labouring classes , but be had , notwithstanding , concluded by announcing bis intention to vote against a measure calculated to afford them some relief . The Hon . Gentleman read some letters giving a most gloomy description of the state of our manufacturing population , and then said he was ready to admit that some of the protective interests might suffer from the Government proposition , and that landlords might find in many instances that it hid caused a diminution of their rentals . But , for his own part , he was ready to forego a portion of the protection he had hitherto enjoyed , in ordeT to carry out a great financial and commercial measure , calculated to benefit all classes of society . Iho Hon . Gentkman then contended , that if
tbe measure propose ;! by Government was to be rejected by Gentlemen on the other side of the House , they ought to give some hint of tho measures which , in their opinion , ought to bo adopted . Tho Hon . Member entered into a description of the various modes by which the linarxi . il diih ' oiltits uf the country could be met , and having deprecated anything iu the shape of direct taxation , as being oppressive to the industry of the country , and repudiated tbe principle of meeting a falling revenue by raising loans , concluded by declaring liis opinion that every view of the question showed that the only true poiicy wa . s to meet the demands upon the country by promoting its trade and commerce by an al ' tration of thuse regulations which gave monopolies to the few to the injury of the uiu . ny .
Mr . Goli . bur . n contended that , under the circumstar . cts : 'Urn <;; iis ; the concession of emancipation to the ii ^ r * j , i : « is ii / if (( . ff : ih ] o the House could arree to tl » u ! itv { , i .. «; t un of tho Chancellor of the Exchequer . It w » s ¦ « ¦ ] iciit , fr > in the returns which had been read , tLa * th-. ' .-. uiijily of susj'ir calculated upon for the prearut year \ vaa many thousand tons greater than had been imported for a series of years , so that the Right Hon . Gentleman might wifely rely upon an increased revenue from sugar , without passing his proposed measure , —that , in fact , : the revenue would this year largely increase by simply leaving things alone . The arguments in support of the measure as one of cominereo wer-j as futile as were those which had been advanced in support of it in a financial point of view .
He admit ' eil that dissatisfaction prevailed in the Braails ajjainst this country , but not on the grouud of its protective ( iuties , but because of its strenuous exertions to put down the slave trade . He bad no doubt but that Ministers would never propose to abandon their exertions to put down the slave trade ; but he could see no difference in principle between their doing so and offering an open encouragement to slavery by admitting slave-grown sugar . With respect to the admission of slave-ETown cotton the case was not in point , for in the case i . f sugar they were about to open a new market to slave-grown sugar which was not open to it before . This was an argument which could not be applied to
tbe slave-grown cotton aud tobacco imported from America . The Right Hon . Gentleman then adverted to the bonst 8 made by the Whigs t !> at they were the parties v . ho ha : i always advocated the interests of the siave , ami who had passed the Act of Emancipation , and saiil that he was unwilling to deprive them of the credit which was due to them upon that account ; but he muse , at the same time , remind tho House , that at the Congress of Vienna , a Conservative negotiator , acting under the instructions of a Conservative Administration , had forced upon the powers of E . urop « a conviction of the propriety of recognising the principle of nu abolition of the slave trade .
Sir G . GREY said that the Government bad been , during the three nights * discussion which had taken place , most anxious to get at what was likely to be the policy of Hon . and Ri ; ht Hon . Gentlemen on the other side of the House , but in vain until the Right Hon . Gentleman at length informed tbem thut their policy would be to leave things alone . This announcement would not be received , he believed , with very great favour by the commercial portion of the community . The Right Hon . Gentleman intimated that the real oppositien to this measure respecting sugar was , that it was regarded by the Hon . member for Lincoln as the eutwork defence of the Corn Laws . He then adverted to
the inconsistency of admitting slave-grown cotton for the interest of manufacturers , and excluding slave-grown sugar which would be so useful to our manufacturers , and contended that in principle nothing could be so absurd as to advocate the propriety of maintaining that both propositions were reconcileable . The question was cot as to the amount of duty proposed by the Government , but aa to whether they would adopt a protective instead of a prohibitive system . The more the subject was discussed , the b * tter it would be understood by the people , who would see the unwillingness of H « n , Gentlemen on the other side to grapple with the details of tbe question-Mr . GOCLBUBN , iu explanation , said that his expression of leaving t hi ngs ulone applied only to the opinion that the revenue from sugar would be this year increased by doing nothing . After some observations from Mr . Irvine , the debate was adjourned until Wednesday .

Thk Steamer Piusident . — Liverpool , Tuesdat Mor . vi . \ g . — Wo perc . ive in Lloyd ' s List of last night a notice , that the Lord Saumaurez arrived in the river Thames , reports having seen a large steamer , under canvas , no steam , standing to the N . W ., ou the 10 th April , in lat . 13 N ., long 33 W . This vessel is very probably the President , as it is not in the track of any steamer ' s usual course ; she would , at the above date , have been at sea thirty days . Tdeket . —Paris papers of Monday and the Madrid mail of the 3 d inst . state that the insurrection of the Christian population in Bulgaria against the Turks still continues , and appears to be progressing with rapidity . A letter from Semlin of the 2 ith , says— " According to intelligence received from the frontiers of Bulgaria , the interior of that province is in insurrection . The Albanians treat the inhabitants of Lower Bulgaria with the greatest
crueltytheir robberies and brutalities appear to have accelerated the movement of the Christiana . The post from Constantinople is four days behind the regular time , and it is feared that the courier , who had some money with him , has been robbed and assassinated by the insurgents . " Another letter , of the same date , says that the Prince of Servia has published a proclamation , dated Belgrade , 22 d of April , in which it is stated : — "The Christians of the districts of Nisa , Perotska , Leskowaeska , and Probabalka , near the frontiers of Servia , had revolted on the 6 th of this month against the Turks . This insurrection in no manner concerns Servia , let the people engaged in it come from where they may . The rights granted to Servians by firman and by the hattiseheriff , assure ( o them tranquillity and happiness , and , therefore , they must not be parties to this insurrection , or give any encouragement to the subjects of his highness who revolt against big authority .

Sandwich Election . —The election of a Member for this borough , in the place of the late Sir llufane Donkin , took place on Tuesday last . At the close of the poll , the numbers wore—Mr . Lindsay ( Conservative ) 406 Colonel Fox ( Whig ) 360 Majority for the Conservative 46 Dreadful Case op Hydrophobia . —On Tuesday evening , Mr . Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital , on the body of William Lingard , aged seven years , who had been bitten in the heel by a small dirty white dog three months ago . He expired in dreadful agony about half-past one o ' clock on Sunday afternoon . Verdict— " Died of hydrophobia through the bite of a dog , but how inflicted there is no evidence to shew . "
Diabolical Case oe Stabbing in Kendal *— On the evening of Sunday , tho 9 ch instant , the town of Kendal was thrown into the utmost consternation by a , report that a man had been stabbed in the breast and abdomen whilst engaged in a pugilistic combat . On enquiry it appeared that a person of the name of John Robinson , a carrier ' s porter , employed by Mr . Machel , had met a person in the streets of the name of Noble , who follows a like avocation , when an ebullition of angry feeling from both parties ensued . Robinson after this retired to the New Inn publichouse , to which place he was followed by Noble , when almost immediately afterwards Noble struck his opponent . A fight was the result . Thexton , tho landlord of the inn , then interfered , when Robinson was thrown over a wooden form , and
during the strife was stabbed twice in the breast and once in the abdomen . He called aloud " that he was stabbed , " and on an examination taking place it was found that a frightful gash had been made in the lower part of the belly so as to cause his bowels considerably to obtrude . It was likewise ascertained that two deep wounds had been inflicted on his breast . Surgical aid was immediately sent for , when the surgeons at once pronounced the injuries to be of fauch a nature as to place the life of Robinson in the greatest jeopardy . Thexton , the landlord , and Noble , were then taken into custody , to await an examination before the magistrates , which was to tako place on Tuesday . It is rather singular , that after most diligent search being made by the police , no weapon was discovered by which the frightful cuts could have been made .
Another Dreadful Collision at Sea . —We have to record another of those frightful accidents at sea which convey such a melancholy catalogue of suffering , similar indeed to that by the loss of the Governor Fenner . The Brooklyn , Captain Richardson , sailed from Liverpool on Sunday ,- for New York , laden with salt , &c . The telegraphic communication on Monday morning announced the return of the Brooklyn , with bowsprit carried away , bows damaged , and in tow of a steamer . It appears that about ten on Sunday night , when off Point Lynas , the Captain and crew of the Brooklyn were alarmed by the appearance of a vessel running with the wind directly upon them ; that instead of the master of
the unknown vessel porting his helm he pursued a directly opposite course , arid which led to a frightful collision . Tne bowa of the ship Brooklyn Btruck the midships of the other , which soon after , it is supposed , went down with all hands on board . The name of the vessel is unknown , but she is described as being a long-built brig , and rather deep ; but whether from Liverpool , London , or any other port , no evidence can be given . The cries of the unfortunate sufferers are represented to have been most agonising , and from the feyr particulars we can gather , it appears almost a miracle that the Brooklyn also did not meet with the same fate as the other vessel .
Death of Sir Frederick Johnstone . — Sir Frederick , in company Mr . Borthwick , was , on Sunday last , returning to Eglintoun Castle , at which both had been visitors tor some days , from a dinner party at a gentleman's seat a few miles distant , bir Frederick rode forward , and was found by Mr . Borthwick lying on the ground , and bleeding profusely . The latter took him up on his horse , and conveyed him to Eglintoun Castle , where the unfortunate Baronet expired soon after his arrival . An alarm had previously been given at the Castle by Sir Frederick's horse galloping up to the stables without a rider , his knees broken , and the saddle much damaged .
Loss j op the Ship William Brown , from Liverpool to Philadelphia . —Havre , May 10 . — The Louis Philippe , New York pacKet-ship , has this moment arrived . Information haTing reached the town that some shipwrecked seamen were on board , the report became general that they belonged to the President , and the excitement was beyond all description . On the arrival in dock , however , a strong body of the gendarmerie were in waiting , and immediately took into custody the mate and eight of the crew of the ship William Brown , bound from Liverpool to- Philadelphia , which was sunk by an iceberg in the latter part of last month , for as yet I cannot give you precise dates for anything except that these men were taken from the
Crescent , which vessel had picked them up in their long-boat . But a tale of horror is to be told about them . It appears when the vessel Btruck , thirtythree passengers , the mate , and eight of the crew , took to the long-boat : the captain , three of the crew , aud eleveu passengers , took to the jolly-boat ; the rest sunk with the vessel . The boats parted in the night . Some days after the mate and crew determined ( as they say in order to lighten the boat ) to throw seventeen of the passengers overboard , which they accomplished , and some of the most horrid and revolting scenes took place . There were two brothers and sister of one family ; the
brothers were thrown over , and the sister jumped in after them . One fine boy begged for a few minutes to say his prayers ; they refused , aud hurled him into the sea at once . Some clung to tbe sides of the boat praying for mercy ; but their hands were cut off , and they were pushed into the deep . Fifteen ladies and two men remained in the boat . One hour after this massacre the Crescent fell in with the boat , and saved the survivors of the horrid deed . The passengers remained on board the Crescent , the crew arrived in the Ville de Lyon ; they are now under examination before the American Consul . The jolly-boat has not been heard of . Tho dates of the Ville de Lyon have been anticipated by the Acadia .

Sib , I wish to lay before the country the conduct of certain parties who attended a meeting called by tbe Irish Chartists residing in Manchester , for the purpose of passing an address to our countrymen in Newryand other parta of Ireland , / who dare avow our holy principles . No Englishman took any part in the proceedings . At the time appointed for taking the chair , tbe room was absolutely crammed to suffocation .

Daly was called to the chair . Messrs . Doyle and Donavon were brutally thrust off the platform , and threats at cold-blooded assassination held held out I commenced reading the address , and when IJbad concluded , other persons , friends to O'Connell , addressed the meeting ; after they had concluded , serious doubts were entertained for the lives of the Irish
Chartists present I told the Chairman I would hold him responsible for any injury committed , on any Chartist Had our English brethren Imagined such savage conduct would have taken place , they weuld have attended in such numbers as to have astonnded those men who debased themselves so low by their savage conduct .

SUNDXiRXiAND . —Community . —On Sunday afternoon and evening , Mr . G . A . Fleming , editor of tho New Moral World , lectured in the Golden Lion room , upon '' Community the only salvation for man . " The lecturer , in the afternoon , dwelt upon the nature of man , shewing that upon tbe supply of his physical wants , food , clothing , and shelter his mental and moral state mainly depended . He then described , in a thrilling manner , the . present miseries of the people , and exposed , in an able style , the absurdity and cruelty of schemes for educating , enlightening , and morally improving the people , which did not embrace sound plans for the removal of their physical sufferings . In the evening he developed his views of the means by which
the condition of the protective classes might be most speedily , efficiently , and permanently improved . This he Btated could only be attained by new arrangements for the production and distribution of wealth ; he searchingly examined the operation of the present system , shewing that although the power to produce wealth , that is food , clothing-, &c ., had been increased by improvements in mechanical science to an amazing . extent , yet that the condition" of the people , instead of being improved with the art of producing , had been constantly deteriorating until it appeared to have reached the lowest depths of want and suffering . He then explained his plan of redemption , which was to unite the interests and powers of labour , capital , and science by
co-operative communities , illustrating the operation of those principles by the past progress and present state of Tytherly , in Hampshire . Both lectures were very interesting and impressive . At the close of the evening lecture , Mr . Williams , at the Tequest of several friends , made some observations to the meeting upon the lectures of Mr . F . He stated that although that gentleman had not alluded to , nor pronounced any opinion upon the agitation for those important political changes which the Chartists sought , yet he thought that on the whole , the lectures would have a tendency to lead many to believe that the pursuit of those changes was useless , or possibly mischievous . He , ( Mr . W . ) therefore , considered it his duty to submit to them his views of
the subject . Mr . W . then stated , that the full representation of the people in Parliament would , by putting the entire resources of tbe-country into their hands , give them full legal power to employ these , in devising and maintaining any system , by which the highest happiness could be secured . Admitting ( he said ) that it was practicable to establish a few communities under our present political institutions ; yet , however well conducted these might be , and however superior their internal arrangements for the production and distribution of wealth * their continued full prosperity would require a radical change in Government , such a chango in fact as the Chartists were organised to effect . The communities , he said , could not produce all , nor indeed more than
a small portion of what they consumed ; they would have to import their teas , coffees , sugars , and other articles of food , and many raw materials for manufactures from the mercantile monopolists and irresponsible law-makers , who , as long as they were permitted by the political quietude of tho Socialists , would plunder the latter of large portions of their surplus wealth . The Socialists would , therefore , have to turn themselves to the rectification of this evil ; political reform was , therefore , merely a question of time and means , every sane mind being compelled to recognize its necessity . Mr . W ., then stated that though it was probable the Socialists might establish one or more imperfect communities before the Charter was carried , yet the latter , as a
national measure , would be carried long before communities could become so general as to afford an aByluui for the victims of class legislation . He would , therefore , give all possible aid to the Socialists in the experiments to determine the question whether the competitive or the co-operative system of society was the best ; but at the same time would continue with unabated energy , his efforts to obtain a Government emanating from and responsible to the people . Mr . Fleming made a few observations in reply , admitting the utility of Governmental reform , but differing slightly with Mr . Williams , respecting the amount of good to be anticipated from it . The discussion appeared to give much satisfaction to all present .

FROM THE LONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY . HOUSE OF LORDS . Several petitions were presented against any alteration in the'Corn Laws ; some were also presented iu favour of an alteration . In reply to a question from Lord Ellenborough , The Lord Chancellor said , that new rules for proceedings in Chancery , under a Bill passed during the last Session of Parliament , were in course ot preparation , but he could not say when they would be so far completed as to be laid upon the table of the House . Tho Duke of Argyll moved for leave to bring in a bill to settle the question of church patronage in Scotland . The motion was agreed to , arid the bill having been read a first time , the Noble Duke said ho would not move the second reading until the General Assembly should have an opportunity of meeting and expressing ah opinion on its provisions .
After some observations from the Earl of Aberdeen , the Earl of Rosebery , Lord Dunfermljne , and the Marquis of Breadalbane , the House adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . Lord J . Russell , in reply to a question from Mr . Walter , said it was his intention to go on with the Poor Law Amendment Bill , though he might not be able to proceed with it on the 17 th . Mr . Walter intimated that he should meet the Bill , when it was brought forward , with a specific motion . In reply to a question from Mr . Hume , Lord J . Russell stated that it was true Captain Elliot had been recalled from Canton , and Sir H . PottiHger been appointed in his room . Mr . Hume having moved for returns of the correspondence between the British and American Governments relative to the destruction of the Caroline steam-boat , and of the correspondence between the Governor-General of Canada and the Colonial Secretary ,
Lord J . Russell intimated that the production of the papers would be prejudicial to the pending negotiations between the two Governments . After some conversation , Mr . H ume allowed the motion to be negatived without a division . Colonel Sibthorp , at considerable length , condemned the appointment of Mr . Vizard , as solicitor to the Home Department , and moved a resolution to the effect that no sufficient reason had been shown for the appointment , and that it was wholly unnecessary . Mr . Fox Maule defended the necessity of the appointment , owing to the increased business of tho department , arising from the number of . Bills which had been recently before it . Every other publio department had its solicitor , and it was not until the want of one was felt that the appointment had been made .
Mr . Goulburn thought that a sufficient case had not been made out for the appointment ; bat Was of opinion that the better time to take the objection would be when a vota was brought forward in Committee of Supply for a salary for the office . Colonel Sibthorp intimated that he would pursue the course suggested by the Right Hon . Member for the University of Cambridge , and withdrew his motion . The House then adjourned .
