Mr. P. PALMER said, if Om several suggestions were agreed to, nothing of the bill would be left. He bad no ob jection to the bill, nor the particular clause ; he only thought that it by no means went tar enough. The bill had been so clipped and curtailed, that he found himself in the situation of the man who was invited to a venison feast—there was a va cancy on the table, and an apology was made for the absence of the venison. The bill was now any thing but what was origi nally intended. The powers of the brewers were to be limited originally, but all the means of doing • hat ware withdrawn. It was any thing but what had been contemplated ;it did not go far enough ; it would accomplish little or no good. Mr. LusttimauN raid, that the clause to which attention hail been directed, if carried, would be productive of consi derable disorder. The power at present possessed by the ma gistrates in the country had been most usefully exercised ; to withdraw it would be of mischievous consequences. Alderman 1% 0011 übsery ed, that all the alarm about this clause Mlle from the magistrates. Why were the magistrates alarmed ? —lf they did what was right, at what had they occa siiai to be alarmed .r —(hear.) —lf the licences were withdrawn on honest and just grounds, why should the magistrates be alarmed at publicity being given to their conduct 1-14 hat reason had they to be alarmed at the acts investigated by counsel and atturueys in open sessions? If the magistrates were pistilied in doing this, they might as well examine culprits on criminal charges ant private. (Hear.) He trusted that no cue sent would be given to withdraw the useful clause. Mi. G. BENNET was surprised, when he brought forward his bill, to find it resisted and petitioned against by those who Lad solicited him to bring it forward. In the committee sixty ineinbers attended, " mauy of them speaking all at the saute tome.' They seemed to be desirousof suppuiting the bill, giving friendly suggestions to amend the bill ; and yet they now came down with made objections that could out have been drawn Prow the bill—that must have been picked up by the eaves droppers at the corner of streets. --(Hear !) Ile would leave thew with the law as it now stood. That law, according to the Ist James I. c. 9. any inkeepers or others keeping company in their houses ab ye one hour were liable to be lined, and to luau their licences. Nor was that law, which still r e main e d on the statute book, a dead letter; it bad been acted upon, tube bad evidence to prove, by a clergyman, whose servant, during di vine service, was, by the publican's wile, suffered to have a putt of beer. The licence was taken away. The fact was, the !climate.; of licences resulted frequently from the must capri cious motives ; sometimes Prow such trilling pauses as the pub. bean on li tt ing to take his hat all to the parson of the penal.— (lieu, hear ! ) The bill was with the House, and if they Dejected it, he should staler them to retain the laws passed in the fist and fourth years of the reign of King James. He should press the bill. Strangers were then ritered to withdraw ; but after the gal lery was cleared, there as much conversation previously to the division taking plaee.—The numbers were—For the third reading 2rl--Agaiust it 71L—Majority for the bill 1/. The House then proceeded to discuss some amendments pro posed respecting existing clauses, particularly regarding the powers extending to cities and boroughs, as well as counties awl ridings.— Strangers were excluded for near an hour. Mr. 11. I LUKREORCE brought forward a motion, founded on papers on the subject of the slave trade, recently laid before the House. Lord LON DON DERY said, this government had exerted itself on all opportunities to put down the trade. He would not, however, object to the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the KXCHEQUER stated, that he should not propose the renewal of the Hank Charter till twat semibreve Adjourned at 12 o'clock. FRIDAY, JUNI 28. Mr. J. BROWN gave notice that early in the neat session be should submit a motion to make better provision fur the catholic clergy out of the revenues of the state. ituAsSED A .GR IN.—Mr. LIJSIILN‘HUN moved the third reading of the Roasted Grain Bill. Sir R. WILSON moved as en amendatory clause, to reverse all prosecutions for selling grain, and to reimburse all tines on prosecutions. He bad understood that the tines were not to be •uforeedi he had circulated that upinion on the confidence of what was stated opposite ; and he felt in sonic degree answer able for the errors which he feared I, had been instrumental in leading others into. Mr. T. Wilson and Mr. H. Sumner supported the clause ; the hues ought not to be enforced. Mr. LCSIIINGTON said this clause was unnecessary; the Bill contained a clause to empower the Treasury to remit the hues. Mr. CALCRAFT was glad to hear that there was such candid intentions at the Board of the Treasury and of other places ; and if there really were the desire to consider the cases and con •ictions fairly, Lilly, and favourably, he 'bought the clause ought to be withdrawn. Alderman WOOD said, it would he better that the clause abloild be carried. 'there were wme (Blenders who had not touch reason to expect any very great mercy on account of their being politically obnoxious; amongst them was Mr. Hun', who bad Wien a very great sulferer. Mr. T. WILSON observed, after what bad been stated from the Treasnry, be thans,,ht it would be advise:able to withdraw the clause. Toe elause was accordingly withdrawn. The Bill was then ri ad a third tune and passed. The diecussion on the Scotch Juries Bill (in criminal cases) was postponed till next session on the motion of Mr. kenucd). —The bill, however, was committed pro ion& u, iu order that home amendments might be made, and the bill primed. R. port ordered to 64: received on Mouday. 'I he CHANCELLOR of the E‘CllEtiL ER moved, that the House at its ristua du adjourn to illuuday. Agreed to. Mr. 80-TiIWICK'S CASL.—•Mr. ALILBCROMBY presented a p Hiroo from Murray Borthwick, the late printer of the Glu, : jiao S. ohne!, setting lentil Ina wrongs and *offerings, as thinly detailed in the litoceedingx of a former evening. He had been seriously injured, inipi lamed fur 70 days ; his offices broken open, and his papers taken away , and lie was eventually discharged without [alai or redress. The informer war Alex ander, hut the real prosecutor was the Lord Advocate. To bring an action against the bankrupt Alexander would be use less ; and if any one aa.d that Borth wick ought to bring his action a the Lord Advocate, he should thtuk it would be adding mot-Ivry to ihjustice. (Hear.) Bun thwick he hail nag er loam. Borthwiek be never knew till now, and Borth* kit's case lie would never abandon till that House hail declared that il would nut Hillard redress. (Hear.) A great public wrong had been done ; and the friend , ' of the constitution, if they really cousidered themselves the representatives of a free people, ought to see that Inch wrung ought to be redressed. Lord LONDONDERRY remarked that he il'd not consider the question ul enquiry or no enquiry to be closed. lidornia thin might he asked fur; ■ case for enquiry might showu ; the bun. imbiber might move for information ; and it would thou bar dideannutd whether enquiry ought to he Matituted. THE NATIONAL RE(IISTER The LORD ADVOCATE said be was in reality but imper fectly acquainted with some of the particulars of the case ; he, however, had only to require that the House would suspend its judgment till enquiry was to take place. He had no objection to the production of any of the papers. Mr. BROUGHAM was glad to hear that at last there was to be enquiry into the ease. He certainly could aot but marvel much at the change that had takes place iu the course of about 4S boors ; for now those opposite held the very opinions that were maintained by the supporters uf the motion on the former night. The ° great wisdom" of the House had then decided that there should be no enquiry ; the numbers to be sure ran pretty equal ; but now there ass to be an investigation. lle had misuaderstoml the decision of the I louse, it seemed ; he was glad of it ; for be was persuaded that enquiry sooner or later must take place. MASSACRE AT SCto.—Mr. W. SMITH adverted to the dreadful massacre that hod taken place at Brie of the Greek hostages, and enquired whether any advises had been received on the subject. He understood that seventy or eighty persons had fallen victims to the massacre ; and lie wished to know whether they were in any way protected by the English autho -1 rities ! Lord LONDONDERRY said that intelligence had undoubt edly been received. It was one of those fatal results that grew out of the calamitous mode of carrying on the wierfare on both sides. lie understood that nut more than 12 or 15 per sons only were Greek hostages. They wer, nut under the pro tection of the English Authorities in su c h a way as t o warran t the interference of the government. INTIRCEPTEDCWIRF.SPoNDENCE — Mr. BROUGHAM called the attention of the House to a letter that had been published in some newspaper. It purported to have been found in the streets of Dublin ; it was from Mr. &rutin to Lord Nortnary, iudoetng extracts from Lord Ross, calling on the learned Lord, in the course of the circuits, to urge the neeessity of resisting the Catholic Bill ; and where interests were concerned, and some reluctasec shown, to use strong and comprehensible ar guments. He condemned the publication el a letter that must have been obtained by improper means ; and he should like to know whether any enquiry would be instituted respecting it ! Mr. PEEL was sure that the publication must be condemned, but he could not pledge himself to the adoption of any course of proceeding. 1 he Report of the Salt Tax resolutions baying been brought up, Mr. CURWEN moved as an amendment, that Ike tax be totally repealed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. LUSIIINGTON defended the Resolution/a, coutending that further reduction could not take place. A long debate followed, and ultimately the blousedivided— For the resolution 101—For die intendment 92—Majority in favour of the revolution 12. _ On our re-admission into the gallery we found Mr. H UTCHI NSON urging the injurious effect which retain ing the 2s. duty would have on the provision of Inland. He de-„, dared he would oppose the measure in every stage, and unless it was given up, he would, night after night make such state ments of the misconduct of ministers towards Ireland, as would make gentlemen's hair stand on end.—(A laugh.) Lord LONDONDERRY said he was not at all intimidated by the threats of the hon. gentleman, but still, as the question was only as to the difference between English mid Irish currency, we understood him to say he would advise his right hon. friend to comply with the wish expressed by the hon. gentleman. Mr. CALCRAFT flattered himself, that notwithstanding the large majority of twelve to-ni4ht. they should, in the progress of the 8111, succeed iu relieving the public from this obnoxious tax. The resolutions were then agreed to, and a bill ordered occordingly. The Alien Bill was postponed to Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice be should certainly bring forward his budget on Monday. The Bionic then adjourned. FRO.II TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.- BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED. J. G.

Mrs. 0., however, wait not satisfied, and Mr. Greensid was called, who, perhapa in no very gentle manner, pat a similar question, and the answer to him was. " that they had come there for a frolic —they thought it was an open how." Mr. Green-sill said it was impossible they could make such a mistake some warm words ensued, the ladies were meth alarmed, and one of them fainted. Mr. Greensill insisted upon their quitting the home, and they begin' very leisurely to pot on their great coats. Mr. Orcensill, very naturally, was a little impatient, and desired them to make haste, to which the dektailant replied, " they would Like their own time." Al r.

Mr. Greensill dud then lay his hand upon the defendant's shoulder, and attempted to !dish him towards the door, upon which the latter untied retur, and struck him. The watch was then called, and Hie intruders were taken to the watch-house, en the way to which they used she most opprobrious latignage, the defendant repeatedly threatening to lick the prosecutor's guts out. No apology had ever been made by the defen dant up to the present day, or perhaps the prosecutor would not have trembled the court with this proceeding. The learned counsel, after some observations upon the citemustances of the defendant and his companions, as otter ers cf the army, intruding into the private house uf at - peaceable t Warn, concluded by calling upon the jury for a verdict, and upon the court fur exemplary punishment. Mr. GI reedit% and a young gentleman who was of the party, were called, and proved all that the counsel- for the proseetinusi hail stated.

The chairinsa summed up, and advised the jury I. con sider the spare figure and short statute of the defendant, compared to the mote athletic frame of the watchman, and then draw their inference, 'the jury,after a moment's coornhation, found a verdict of riollis;rliy, and Waddington was disiritargeit. When the verdict was tongued, Waddington bowed down to the ground, and thanked the jury is au audible voice. Mr. Ailey, who was for the prosecution, said, " Well, Mr. Waddiogion, I hope you will think L gate yousitm play." Waddingtoo.—Why,. Mc. Alley, I know that you Inns. • do your duty.
