denounced the bill as calculated to injure the agucnitaral inte-

corn. The Government had eneuited the eeerolee of free trade 
to be those of common sense, and all their measures were

opposed the bill. The agricultural interest had already 
been reduced low enough, without superadding another measure, 
which would either be injurious, or, if not, was a change for the 
mere sake of change. Millions were invested in Agricultural 
Prpperty and it could not afford to be tampered with continually.

sedis. mit it would lead to free trade, he would support the 
bill; but, as he believed it created a new protection, he opposed 
it. —Lo! rd BEAUMONT also opposed the bill, on the ground cha it 
would raise up a milling interest in Canada, destructiv

it admitted the principle of a fixed duty, and expressed his con- 
enon that it would lead to a large importation.—Lord AsuBur-

need not bescrupulously adhered to.—After considerable 
sion there was a division, when the clause Sik carried by 128 to 60. 
The Toth clause was agreed to; but the 11th claus: 
long discussion, with several divisions. Mr 
D. Norreys, and other Members, assa ailed the ATroRNEY- 
Grnerat for Ireland, ‘and said he seemed incapable of explaining 
the meaning of a bill, for hie on the part of the Government, 
he was responsible. At last, after a str geld through every sen- 
tence, and the Mcoenedon: of several amendments, the 11th 
clanse was ordered to stand part of the bill. The 12th clause, 
awhich enacts the penalty for keeping arms without license, after 
an amendment, to which the Government acceded, was carried ; 
after which the further progress of the bill was suspended, and

astonished that any class of a rebut be led away with the idea 
that the repeal of the Uni rove a panacea for the evils of 
the country. He, for one, was prepared t 0 resist the repeal, as a 
dismemberment of the empire. ‘The coadiGon of Ireland was not so 
deplorable as might be inferred; its trade had shared in the general 
depression of that of the empire; but there had been an increase in 
its shipping, and in the amounts of the deposits in the savings’ banks.

called attention to what he conceived to be a gross breach of privi- 
lege on the part of the Standard newspaper, which, in allusion to 
the recent discussion upon the Nottingham election, had repre- 
sented that Messrs. Gisborne and Duncombe had talked in Parlia- 
ment of having hired others as the potentialsin, at least, of perjury, 
with as much levity as if they had been mentioning the’ most indif 
ferent, or even laudable eclones adding, that such a who were

Her Majesty’s Birthday.—Thursday being appointed 
for the celebration of her Majesty’s Birthday, it was ob- 
served as a day of rejoicing throughout the metropolis. 
The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells ; the 
Park and Tower guns fired royal salutes, and the illumi- 
nations in the evening were on a most extensive scale. A 
review in honour of the day took place on the parade in 
St. James’s park, in the presence of Prince Albert, the 
Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of Wellington ; and the 
troops in Woolwich garrison were br‘ igaded on the Com- 
mon. The Duke of Wellington gave a grand ball in the 
yening at Apsley House, in honour of the day, and by 
| order of the Duke of Cambridge, the gates of the Park 
were kept open all night for the egress and ingress of car- 
riages. All the other Cabinet Miuisters, with the excep- 
tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is suffering 
from a domestic affliction, gave state dinners to the Am- 
bassadors and other official personages, 
Tribute to the Duke of Sussex.—A public meeting was 
held on Saturday at Willis’s Rooms, for the purpose of 
entering into resolutions for a memorial to his late Royal 
Highness the Duke of Sussex. The Marquis of North- 
ampton took the chair, and opened the business of the 
meeting by remarking that it was to show their affection 
and regard to the memory of one of the Princes of the 
house of Brunswick. His late Royal Highness was the 
patron of literature and arts, and the devoted friend and 
supporter of all charitable institutions. The Duke of 
Sutherland expressed his great satisfaction that the noble 
President of the Royal Society, the successor in that dis- 
tinguished office to the late Duke of Sussex, had consente2 
to take the chair that day. After paying a high er.o- 
gium to the merits of his late Royal Highness, his Crace 
read extracts from the speeches of the Duke of Welling- 
ton, Sir R. Peel, Lord J. Russell, &c. in Parliament as 
to the ability and kind-hearteduess of the illustrious 
Prince, and observed that happy must the memory of 
that man be whose character was so honoured by such 
men, They had now met to give an opportunity for offer- 
ing a public tribute of respect to the memory of his 
Royal Highness, and he therefore moved a resolution 
expressive of regret for the loss of the Royal Duke. The 
resolution was seconded by the Marquis of Breadalbane, 
and carried unanimously. The Earl of Roseberry moved 
the second resolution, ‘‘That a memorial be erected by 
public subscription to the memory of the late Duke of 
Sussex.” The Bishop of Durham seconded the resola- 
tion, which was agreed to. Other resolutions in confor- 
mity with the objects of the meeting were adopted, on 
the motion of the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, the Bishop 
of Norwich, the Earls of Zetland and Fortescue, and sub- 
scriptions to the amount of about 600/. were announced. 
Sale of the Duke of Sussex's Property.—The sale of 
the late Duke’s property during the last three days has, 
from its interesting character, attracted a very numerous 
assemblage of fashionable company at Messrs. Christie’s 
rooms, independently of the parties usually attending 
similar auctions. The catalogue included a collection of 
interesting historical curiosities, many of which realised 
extraordinary prices. The trinkets were sold on Monday ; 
the regulators, clocks, and watches, on Tuesday; the 
ornamental furniture and china on Wednesday, Thursday, 
and Friday. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next, 
the pipes, tobacco, and cigars, will be sold. 
at Camden Town.—On Saturday a duel, which 
has terminated fatally, took place at Camden-town. 
appears that about a quarter past five on Saturday morn- 
ing, a police constable, who was on duty near the Camden- 
road Villas, and the keeper of the toll-gate facing the 
Brecknock Arms, observed two cabs, the first containing 
two gentlemen, and the second three gentlemen, pass down 
Maiden-lane, in the direction of Highgate. In about 
ten minutes after they were alarmed by hearing a single 
shot fired, and presently after the two cabs returned at a 
rapid rate with but three ont of the five gentlemen, and 
drove in the direction of Regent’s Park. This circum- 
stance excited great suspicion, and immediately after several 
labourers, who had come to commence their haymaking 
in the adjoining field, gave information that a gentleman 
was lying in the field adjoining, who had been shot, On 
hastening to the spot the police found a gentleman, who 
gave his name as Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett, and his address 
188, Sloane-street, lying on the grass, ‘bleeding from a 
wound in the right side, and another gentleman, who gave 
his name as George Galiver! and who stated himself to 
be the surgeon of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, standing 
by his side. On the police i inquiring what had happened, 
Col. Fawcett replied ‘‘ What is that to you? It is an 
accident.’”’ _Under the direction of Mr. Gulliver a shutter 
was procured, and the unfortunate gentleman was in the 
first instance conveyed to the Brecknock Arms’ Tavern, 
but was refused admittance. He was then conveyed to the 
Jamden Arms, Randolph-street, where accommodation 
was afforded. At the request of Colonel Fawcett his wife 
was at once sent for, and on her arrival the Colonel con- 
fessed that he had been fighting a duel with his brother- 
in-law, Lieut. Munroe, of the Royal Horse Guards Blue. 
Mr. Sandys, surgeon of Kentish Town, was then sent fors 
who deemed it advisable, from ‘the dangerous state of the 
wound, to call in Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Liston, 
who arrived about eight o'clock. ‘The result of their con- 
sultation was that they discovered the ball had entered the 
body on the right side, passed through the right lung, and 
had apparently dropped into the intestines, in a similar 
manner to that inthe case of the late Mr.Drummond, Ona 
consultation it was the opinion of both medical gentleme® 
that to extract the ball was impossible, but there was some 
difference as to the nature of the wound, Sir Benjamin 
Brodie pronouncing it fatal, and Mr. Liston expressing ® 
belief that he might recover. During the whole of Satur- 
day, Col. Fawcett remained in a very precarious states 
but on Sunday there was a marked improvement in the 
symptoms, which continued to give hopes of a favourable 
result up to 11 o’clock at night. Soon after midnight 
however, Mr, Sandys, observing a marked change fory 
the worse, and that the Colonel exhibited symptoms of 
delirium, lost no time in despatching a messenget 
for Mr. Liston, who promptly arrived. Medicines wet 
then administered, after which the Colonel became some= 
what more rational for a short period, He, howevel 
again relapsed into an insensible state, in ‘which he 
remained until 6 A.M. on Monday, when death put a 
period to his sufferings, About an hour prior to the
