riebatrii an Prorraingsi in Parliament.

THE House of Commons reassembled on Tuesday. Mr. Fox Manic and Mr. F. T. Baring were the only Ministers in the House when the Speaker took the Chair; but soon afterwards the following gentle- men, who had vacated their seats and been reelected, took the oaths, and their places on and near the Treasury bench—Mr. Spring Rice, Lord Howick, Mr. Poulett Thomson, Sir John Hobhouse, Sir Henry Parnell, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Rolfe, Mr. Labouchere, Lord Dal- meny, Colonel Leith Hay, Lord Seymour, Mr. R. Steuart, Sir R. Donkin, Sir T. Troubridge, Mr. W. H. Ord, and Sir 0. Grey.

Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Cobbett sat near each other, on the front Opposition seat. Mr. Hume retained the place he occupied before the late change, on the third Opposition bench. Mr. Roebuck sat next to him. We observed Sir James Graham in his place on the Minis- terial side of the House, but in the division of benches near the bar. Several of the Irish Members were near to Sir James, and others behind the Ministers. Mr. Spring Rice acted as Ministerial Leader, in the absence of Lord John Russell.

CONDUCT OF LORD GOSFORD.,

On Thursday, Lord MANDEVILLE called the attention of the House of Commons to the conduct of the Earl of Gosford, in his office of Lord Lieutenant of Armagh. He spoke in a very indistinct tone, but the substance of his speech was to this effect—That Lord Gosford, buying been directed by Sir Henry Hurdinge to institute inquiries into the origin and circumstances of certain outrages which occurred in the county of Armagh, in January last, had limited the period of inquiry, contrary to his instructious ; had given the Magistrates whom he sum- moned too short notice ; had refused to give Lord Mandeville himself a list of the witnesses when it was asked for by him ; had conducted the proceedings in such a manner as to give advantage to the Catholics over the Protestants ; had made one report himself, and allowed Mr. Jones, the stipendiary Magistrate, to make another, to the Lord Lieu- tenant, although he told his brother Magistrates he should only trans- mit the evidence to Dublin; and finally, threw unjust imputations on the conduct of the resident Protestant gentry of Armagh. Lend Mandeville concluded by moving for the chief constable's report of the outrages at. the Armagh Races in October 1834, the dying declaration of a man named M'Whinney, and other papers.

Dr. LUSHINGTON asserted, that Lord Mandeville's charges were al- together destitute of the semblance of a foundation in truth. He re- minded Lord Mandeville of the attack he had made on Lord Gosford before the recess ; and that he (Dr. Lushington) had taken a note of the charges he then preferred, and read it in the House in Lord Man- deville's presence, in order that he might retract them, or qualify them ;

but Lord Mandeville did neither : and these were the charges brought i

forward, n plaia sad direct terms—that Lord Gosford had packed the Magistrates who were to conduct the itmessigation ; that be had selected the witnesses to be examined, excluding those who could have spoken for the accused ; that he had garbled the evidence as taken down, and made a report to the Government on that garbled evidence ; and lastly, that there was evidence to prove that the accused were not guilty. These were the charges which, on Lord Mandeville's autho- rity, had been circulated through the country for the last six weeks ; but Dr. Lushington would undertake to prove that these charges, in their original as well HS the mitigated form in which they were now brought forward by Lord Mandeville, had no foundation in truth. The facts were these. On the 25th of January, Lord Gosford received directions from Sir Henry Hardinge to institute an immediate inquiry into the outrages at Armagh election,—namely, the burning of ten houses, and some personal assaults.; He summoned all the Magistrates of the county immediately.

Out of these tbirty-seven Magistrates, twenty-four were opposed to Lord

Gosford in politics ; six were not of the same politics, but more properly speak- ing, were neutral ; the remainder—all who could have been of the same party as Lord Gosford—were seven. The investigation lasted seven days. On the first day, twenty-six Magistrates attended, of whom sixteen were Tories ; on the second day, fourteen attended, of whom nine were Tories; on the third day, the proportion of Tories was ten to five; on the fourth day, ten to four; on the fifth day, thirteen to four ; on the sixth day, fifteen to four, and on the seventh (lay, ten to one. So much for the packing of the Magistrates.

Two or three Magistrates thought the notice was too short, as

they were only informed on the 26th of January that the investi- gation was to commence on the 28th ; and Lord Gosford offered in consequence of their complaints to postpone the investigation, but the Bench negatived the postponement. As to the period of in- quiry being too short, it commenced at the time the Lord Lieu- tenant and Sir Henry Hardinge expressed their wish that it should commence. Lord Gosford did not limit the inquiry, for the majority of the Magistrates concurred with him. Of the witnesses, twenty- six were Protestants, mostly Orangemen, and nineteen were Catho- lics, and the evidence of none of them was refused. Every witness on the list handed in by the Chief of the Constabulary force was exa- mined. Great pains was taken to have the evidence correctly taken down ; and the gentleman employed by the Clerk of the Peace for that purpose was Mr. Blair, the editor of the Newry Press, a high Orange paper. Mr. Blair's notes were read at a meeting of the Ma- gistrates, and corrected by and collated with the notes taken by the Magistrates themselves : some of Lord Mandeville's own alterations were incorporated in them. Dr. Lushington then read letters from Sir Frederick Stovin, Chief of the Constabulary force, and the well- known Orange clergyman, Mr. Blacker, brother of the dismissed Ma- gistrate Colonel Blacker, in which they expressed their indignation at the charges against Lord Gosford, and bore the strongest testimony to the perfect fairness with which his Lordship had acted throughout. As to the report sent to Dublin, it was the duty of Lord Gosford to draw one up and transmit it ; and he never acted so absurdly as to pledge himself to his brother Magistrates to neglect this duty. As his chips were totally groundless, Dr. Lushington called on Lord Mandeville to retract them.

Ile was the more astonished when be recollected the quarter from whence those charges had emanated—not from an individual who might by accident have picked up vain rumours, but from a Magistrate of the county, himself present on the occasion in question, who ought of all persons to have known with perfect accuracy the whole of the circumstances—and one, he must beg to add, who, from his connexion with Lord Gosford himself, ought to have been the last man in the House to make such accusations. Whatever course Lord Mandeville might pursue, to that House and to the public Dr. Lushington now appealed with perfect and entire confidence. He appealed neither to Tories nor Whigs, Catholics nor Orangemen—though there were cases, as in the instance of Mr. Blacker, in which political feeling did not destroy common honesty and integrity—but to that House and the country ; and he confidently asked, whether he had not refuted every charge which Lord Mandeville had made. (Loud cheers.) His object had been to relieve Lord Gosford from the possibility of tarnish attaching to a character hitherto unstained in public life. In this object he trusted lie had succeeded ; and he had now only to express his hope that Lord Mandeville might succeed equally well in relieving himself.

Colonel VERNER said, that the investigation could not be considered a fair one ; though he would not undertake to say where the blame lay.

Mr. SPRING RICE considered that Lord Mandeville was bound to retract his charges, or to come forward with a distinct resolution on the subject, and not content himself with merely moving for papers. He must either retract, or bring the charges home to Lord Gosford. Mr. SHAW regretted that the subject had been brought forward : he had done all in his power to prevent the motion. Lord Mandeville had been justly annoyed at the manner in which the investigation had been conducted.

Mr. HUME thought the House was bound to come to a vote on this subject—

Were they, sitting there as judges, to be continually called upon to furnish fresh evidence, when it appeared perfectly clear that there was not the slightest ground for the imputations thrown out? Were they, after those charges— evidently without foundation—had been banging over the head of Lord Gosford for six weeks, to assent to fresh charges being brought, which it was clear could not be supported. What would they gain if the papers now moved for were laid before them? What object would be attained by having the chief coa- stable's Report? What would be the use of the dying deJlaration of the man M•Whinney? But it appeared after all that this man was alive and well. ( Great laughter.) Would the papers moved for throw even a shadow of light on the subject ? He was surprised at the pertinacity of Lord Mandeville; and whether he persisted in his motion or not, of this he was satisfied, that the House ought to declare its opinion on his conduct. It appeared to bun that Lord Gosford had acted in the most upright manner—and would to God that all Lords Lieutenant manifested a similar independent and impartial conduct. If he had his will, many Lords Lieutenant should be removed in England as well as Ireland for pursuing directly the opposite course to that which the Lad of Gosford had been censured for.

Mr. Hume concluded by moving,

That it is the opinion of this House, .bat the conduct of the Earl of Gosford in the recent investigatiou in Armagh did not aitord time slight..st ground or complaint.; andt that the imputations made ag tinst Lim by Viscount M todcville vete entirely %claim foundation." But, at the suggestion of the SPEAKER, he altered the rer.olution, and it was put as follows—. "That the conduct of Earl Gosford, as Lord Lieutenant of the county of Armagh, in 'the recent investigation in that county, alFortteit not the slightest ground of complaint, and that the imputations made against him were entirely without foundation."

Colonel PERCEVAL and Mr. SitAw complained, that to isms this re- solution would be the act of a " tyrannical majority." But it was car- ried, after Lord Mandeville's motion had been negatived, without a division, amidst loud cheers from both sides of the House.

Inisu PoocEssions : LORD WELLESLEY'S RESIGNATION.

In the House of Lords last night, the Earl of Wicklow adverted to the procession which had welcomed Lord Mulgmve to Dublin on his assuming the duties of Irish Lord Lieutenant. Lord Wicklow ap- proved of the orderly procession which had attended his friend the Earl of Haddington on his departure from Dublin; - but Lord Mul- grave's procession was the organized arrangement of Mr. O'Connell, marshalled under officers, carrying banners with inscriptions of " Re- peal of the Union," " O'Connell for ever," and such like. Such a procession was illegal ; and he. wished to know whether Lord Mel- bourne was aware of these circumstances, and whether he had made 1 his displeasure at them ?

Lord MELBOURNE said, he was aware that there had been an enthu- siastic demonstration of popular feeling on Lord IVIulgrave's entry into Dublin, but he did not know that any illegal ensigns had been exhi- bited. As to the marshalling of the procession, he supposed such pro- cessions were always marshalled ; there was always some preparation ; and he would undertake to say, that Lord Haddington's procession did. not occur without some previous notice, some settled arrangements. If there had been any violation of the law, punishment would follow ; for it was Lord Mulgrave's determination to deal out justice strictly to all men of all parties.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, the object of Lord Wicklow's inquiry was to ascertain whether the people had assembled in obedience to the orders of the Protector of the Government—O'Connell; and whether such orders were sanctioned by. the Lord Lieutenant ? There was no reason to suppose that the question of Lord Wicklow was prompted by enmity to the Government; for Lord Melbourne must know, that . . . . a noble person high in the confidence of his Majesty, and in that of the Government, had just resigned office because he felt that the influence of 31r. O'Connell was so great in the Government, that, with his opinions, he could not properly continue in office. If the noble Viscount's personal friends were thus alarmed, could he wonder that his political enemies were frightened?

Lord MELBOURNE remarked on the absurdity of supposing that Lord Mulgrave, who was in England and not acting as Lord Lieutenant, could be responsible for the preparations made on the other side of the Channel to receive him. With respect to the resignation by Lord 1Vellesley of the office of Lord Chamberlain, be bad the authority of Lord Wellesley himself for stating most dis- tinctly, that any report to that effect was entirely without foundation. It was not upon the grounds stated that the noble Marquis had resigned his office; and with respect to the state of Ireland in general, Lord Wellesley agreed with the views of his (Lord Melbourne's) late Government, and with what he presumed to be the views of the present Government, with respect to that country.

Lord HADDINGTON explained, that in his procession there were no banners nor colours; and that it was unsolicited and spontaneous.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, the person who told him the report about the Lord Chamberlain had it from Lord Wellesley himself.

Lord MELBOURNE—" The noble Marquis overrates the value of his information."

Lord BROUGHAM observed, that in opposition to Lord London- derry's second-hand information, there was the evidence of two persons who had communicated directly with Lord Wellesley. He was himself a witness beyond doubt; as he knew of Lord Wellesley's intention to resign, and the reasons of it, on Saturday morning, long before any account of what took place in Ireland had reached this country • and those reasons were, he was going to say diametrically opposite, Cut he would say completely different and wholly standing apart from those supposed.

MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS.

Lusa CHURCH. In reply to a question from Mr. O'BRIEN, last night, Mr. SPRING- RICE stated, that the evidence collected by the Irish Church Commissioners had been all received. and that the substance, if not the whole, would soon be laid on the table. Ministers were very anxious that there should not be one moment's needless delay.

IRISH WRANGLING: Mr. SHAW and Mr. O'CONNELL. Last night, there was a sharp altercation between Mr. Shaw and Mr. O'Connell, in consequence of the former gentleman endeavouring to make out: that Mr. O'Connell had falsely denied the truth of his statement, made before the recess, respecting an attack on the house of Murphy, a Catholic, who had voted at the Kerry election for Mr. Fitzgerald, and against Mr. Mullins. Mr. SIIAW showed, from letters written by Murphy himself to Lord Kenmore, that the outrage had been com- mitted, and that Mr. O'Connell had used threatening language to the man. Mr. O'CONNELL explained, that he did not know what Murphy was meant; that he had asked Mr. Shaw, who could not tell him his Christian name, notwithstanding which, in the Mirror of Parliament the name was given at full length, "David William Murphy." This man was his tenant, and his brother was leading agent of Mr. Morgan John O'Connell at the Kerry election. It was true that two panes of glass had been broken in this man's house ten day's after he (Mr. O'Connell) had left the county, but he never dreamed that this Murphy could be the man alluded to : had he understood that, he should have laughed at the whole affair. He supposed that it must have been some other Murphy. He considered himself ill-treated in this business by Lord Kenmore, whom he had served to the extent of 40,0001., but who had broken his word in taking part in the Kerry election, and had now become sworn brother of Mr. Shaw in this plot against him. There Was a good deal more said on this subject, but the above is the sub- stance ; and the altercation led to nothing. NAVIGATION OF THE SHANNON. A conversation of some length Recurred on Tuesday, on a motion of the Earl of KERRY, kr an ad. dress to the King praying him to carry into effect certain measures for the improvement of the navigation of the Shannon recommended by a Committee of the House. Mr. SPRING RICE objected to pledge the House to a grant of money ; but undertook, on the part of the Govern- ment, to give the subject favourable consideration. Mr. FRENCH strongly urged the House to grant a sum of money. Sir ROBERT PF:EL refused to pledge himself to a grant of money ; and contended that the declaration of Mr. Spring Rice was all that the supporters of the pro- ject could reasonably require. Lord KERRY fitiahly withdrew his motion.

COMMISSION TO CANADA. Sir GEORGE GREY stated on Tuesday, in reply to a question from Mr. IlumE, that Ministers had determined to reeal Lord Aylmer from the Governorship of Lower Canada, and to send Commissioners to that province with the view of settling the matters in dispute between the House of Assembly and the Govern- ment. He also said, that Lord Amherst had been offered the place of Chief Commissioner, but had declined it, and that the Colonial Secre- tary was employed in the selection of persons to act as Commissioners, who, it was hoped, would fully and impartially investigate the dint- rences now troubling the Colony.

PAYMENT OF CANADIAN OFFICERS. There Was a long and uninter- esting conversation last night, arising out of a complaint by Mr. ROEBUCK, that Mr. Spring Rice, in violation of his promise to Mi. Roebuck himself and two Canadian deputies, made when he was Colo- nial Secretary, had authorized the payment of the salaries of the Govern- ment officers out of funds not appropriated by the Colonial Government. Mr. RICE denied, with warmth, that he had broken any promise ; and charged Mr. Roebuck with having revealed what passed at a private conversation. But it appeared that the Canadians, not Mr. Roebuck, had divulged what passed at the conversation alluded to. Finally, a motion by Mr. ROEBUCK for a copy of Mr. Rice's despatch to Lord Aylmer on this subject, was agreed to; and the matter will be again brought before the House.

SLAVE TRADE. On Tuesday, Mr. FOWELL BUXTON moved an address to the King, praying him to take measures to put an end to the slave trade, which is now carried on extensively by foreign nations. The address occupied nine pages of the Vote paper ! Mr. Buxton supported his motion by a speech of some length, and by several official documents. From these it appeared, that between the 1st of January 1827 and the 30th October 1833, there had sailed from the port of Hammett 2.64 vessels in the slave trade ; and that in the course of three years and a half, 150,000 slaves had been imported into Rio Janeiro alone. After a brief discussion, in which Mr. HOME and Mr. SPRING RICE took part, Mr. Bevron, on the suggestion of Mr. HOME, withdrew his motion, with the view of bringing it forward in a more concise form.

MARITIME OFFICERS OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. On the motion of Mr. ROBINSON, and with the concurrence of Sir JouN HOBIIOUSE, a Select Committee was appointed, on Wednesday, to con- sider the amount of compensation awarded to, and the claims of certain maritime officers lately in the service of the East India Company.

LONDON UNIVERSITY. In the House of Lords, on Tuesday, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE mentioned, in reply to a question from Lord BROUGHAM, that no time would be lost in taking into consideration the address to the House of Commons on the subject of granting a charter to London University.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE: LOUD INGESTRIE. A rather sharp discussion was provoked in the House of Peers on Tuesday, by an inquiry from Lord Boornitam whether any explanation had been received by the Board of Admiralty relative to a breach of naval discipline, reported to have been committed on board one of his Majesty's ships, by the commander of that vessel, on a passenger ? Lord AUCKLAND knew nothing officially on the subject : it had not been brought before him in a tangible shape; if it were, the circumstances should be inquired into. bird MELvii.LE, Lord BERESFORD, and Lord COLVILLE, main- tained that there was no propriety in bringing forward the subject, nor necessity for discussing it ; as the whole affair had been amicably ar- ranged between the parties. Lord BROUGHAM said, that the com- mander of the vessel was a public officer, paid by the public, and acting in a public capacity : his conduct therefore was a proper subject for public remark and investigation, even although he had been reconciled to the individual he had aggrieved. The conversation led to nothing.

SCOTTISH CHURCH. In the House of Peers, on Thursday, Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a public meeting in Edinburgh against the proposed grant of new endowment to the Scottish Church.

The meeting consisted of between eleven and twelve thousand persons. The petitionet s were not wholly Dissenters from the Established Church of Scot- land, but were indiscriminately members of that Church and Dissenters from it ; Dissenters, too, of various denominations. The petition stated, that the pulation of Edinburgh amounted to 136,000: that there were sittings in the Established Church for '33,000 persons, and in the Dissenting meeting-houses for 37,500. The calculation made upon a population of 186,000 gave 63,300 as requiring seats; and the number of seats he had mentioned was considerably above the number that in such a population would want them. The statement was made upon the calculation of the General Assembly itself, and fully proved that there was no such want of accommodation as was supposed. The petition went on further to state, that, in twenty-six towns and parishes in Scotland, requiring 159,000 sittings, it was established by the same mode of calculation, that there was no deficiency in that respect, but rather the reverse, as he had shown to be the case with respect to Edinburgh. The petitioners stated, that the increase of Dissenters did not arise from a want of seats in the churches, but on account of the conscientious scruples of the Dissenters upon the great question of Church patronage. The persons who thus dissented would not go to the churches of the Establishment, if there was ever so much accommodation afforded.

The Duke of BUCCLEUGH said, that many of the sittings were in old Cathedral churches, where it was impossible to hear the preacher he knew one person who had quitted the church, not because he was a Dissenter, but because he could not hear the preacher. In the House of Commons, on the same evening, Mr. CirrtAn FERGUSSON presented four petitions from Kirkcudbrightshire, and one from Paisley, signed by 2000 persons, praying for a grant of pubbc money to increase Church-accommodation in Scotland. Mr. Fes-

season coincided with the petitioners, and hoped the Establishment wank! be supported.

Mr. STEWART MACKENZIE presented several petitions of a similar Om: from places in Scotland.

Mr. CORBETT called the attention of both:Members to the fact, that bolt and the most religious half, of the people of Scotland were Dis- senters. To say nothing of the people of England and Ireland, the Dissenters of Scotland ought not to be taxed for the sake of the Church.

ARMY ESTIMATES. Last night, the House being in a Committee of Supply, 109,558/. was voted for the pay of the Yeomanry for the ensuing year. Mr. HUNIE moved to strike off 30,0001. from the pro- posed sum ; but his motion was rejected, by 77 to 17.

MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. Several sums were voted last night for Civil Contingencies, amounting altogether to 130,0001. Mr. Hem: objected to the expense of the Diplomatic Service ; and Dr. BOWRING to the political opinions of several of our Foreign Ambassadors and Envoys. The sum of 40001. paid to Sir George Shee for the expense of his outfit to Berlin, where he was not permitted to go by the Duke of Wellington, also occasioned sonic renunk.

FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. On the motion of Colonel EVANS, a Lill to repeal the Foreign Enlistment Act was brought in last night, and read a first time.

PENSIONS OF EX-CHANCELLORS. Mr. HUME moved, on Thursday, for a return of the names of the retired Chancellors of England, and the pensions they received. A discussion arose ; in the course of which Mr. SPRING RICE said, that the Commissioners of the Great Seal .would receive the salary attached to that office. Mr. ROLFE ( Solicitor- General), in replying to some remarks of Mr. W. HARVEY, said that the present arrangement was only temporary. Mr. flume's motion was carried.

TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE. Lord BROUGHAM, last night, presented a petition from the Common Council of the City of London for the repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge • and took occasion to descant for some time not only on the subject of the petition, but on certain news- paper misrepresentations of what he had himself said, and on the amount of duty he had to pay on a work he had purchased in France.

STAFFORD BOROUGH. Mr. DIVETT, on Thursday, placed a notice on the books of the House of Commons, that he would move the sus- pension of the issuing of a new writ for the election of a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of Stafford, when any motion shall be made for the issuing of such writ ; also, that he intends, on Thursday next, to move for a bill for the disfranchisement of Stafford.

DUBLIN Er.scrioN. Mr. SIIAW moved, on Thursday, for a Select Committee to inquire into the truth of the charge preferred against Mr. Baker, the agent for the Dublin election petition, by Mr. O'Con- nell.

It might be recollected, that the ballot on the Dublin election petition had been postponed, on the statement of Mr. O'Connell, that a fraud had been practised upon him by Mr. Baker, the Parliamentary agent on the other side, in consequence of which he was not prepared. The agent made an affidavit in xeply, which had been met by the declaration of the Member for Dublin, that Mr. Baker was perjured. So the facts stood before the adjournment ; and the House would see at once that they seriously affected the character of a pro- fessional man of great respectability.

Mr. SPRING RICE was willing to grant the Committee. Mr. O'Coissrera. said be had no objection to it. There were four witnesses —Sir R. Sidney, his clerk, Mr. Ruthven, and himself, against Mr. Baker alone; so the result might be easily foreseen. Mr. HUME and Sir ROBERT PEEL strongly objected to the establishing the precedent which granting this Committee would sanction. Mr. Hume said, there was no saying where claims of this kind would stop : every country attorney might call for a Committee if a Member of the House said any thing against his character. The motion was then withdrawn.

Cantow ELECTION. The following Members were elected on Thursday to consider the petition against the return of the Members for Carlow,—Messrs. Stewart Marjoribanks, H. D. Goring, Bolling, Tulk, Sharpe, and Scrope, Lord Kerry,Colonel Seale, Lord Pollington, Sir R. Bulkeley, and Sir W. Geary.

CANTERBURY ELECTION. On the same day, the Committee on the petition against Mr. S. R. Ludington for Canterbury was also ap- pointed. It consists of Messrs. Walter, Darner, Meynell, Bell, Compton, Baring, Powell, and Irton, Lord C. J. Russell, Sir E. Kerrison, and Sir J. R. Reid. So the case is lost.

NEW WRITS. On the motion of Mr. E. J. STANLEY, on Tuesday, new writs were ordered for Stroud, in the room of Colonel Fox, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds ; South Staf- fordshire, in the room of Mr. Littleton, now Lord Hatherton ; Kil- dare, Mr. More O'Ferrall haviag been made a Lord of the Treasury; Poole, in the room of Sir John Bylig, now Lord Strafford ; and Melton, Sir Charles Pcpys having accepted the office of Chief Commissioner of the Great Seal.

CASE or CAPTAIN ROBISON. On Thursday, at the suggestion of Sir GEORGE GREY and Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. MORGAN O'CONNELL postponed his motion respecting General Darling's treatment of Cap- tain Robison, to the 3d of June.

CASE OF MR. CHILDS. On the motion of Mr. POTTER, last night, an address was agreed to for a copy of the warrant to arrest Mr. John

Childs of Bungay, for the non-payment of Church.rates; and also for The grand Tory dinner to Sir Robert Peel was given in Merchant other proceedings in the Diocesan Court of Norwich relative to the Tailors' Hall on Monday. The guests were Sir Robert's personal same affair. In consequence of the lateness of the hour, Mr. HU3IE friends as well as political associates. Among them were Lord Mayor postponed the presentation of a petition from Mr. Childs, to Monday or Winchester, the Duke of Wellington, Earl De Grey, Viscount Can
