HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, SEPT. 5.-Lord Cowley was introduced by Lord Maryborough and Lord Stuart de Rothsay, and took the oaths and his seat. PORTUGAL. The Earl of Aberdeen said that the petition he was about to present to their lordships proceeded from the merchants, ship- owners, manufacturers, and others interested in the trade between this country and Portugal. They complained that a trade which had so long enjoyed the anxious protection of government, and in which they had deeply embarked their interests, in the full assurance that this protection would not be withdrawn, was now exposed to great difficulties and danger, and they expressed their apprehensions that the suspension of amicable relations between the British and Portuguese governments, if much longer conti- nued, would produce still further injuries to a trade which had attained its present magnitude and importance chiefly from the intimate political connection which subsisted between the two countries. The noble earl entered into a long detail of the po- litical relations between this country and Portugal, and of the late attack upon that country, and the taking possession of its fleet by France. He said there could be no doubt that any change produced in Portugal by French means would operate, as it unquestionably would be intended, to injure the commerce of this country. Did they suppose that France cared any thing about Portugal? No, it was the English colony they wished to degrade. They were all alike, Bourbon, Buonaparte, Orleans- all alike wished to lessen the grandeur and impair the prosperity of this country. (Hear, hear.) Did he wish to excite animosity -between this country and France 1 No such thing. It had always been the principle of our policy to watch with the utmost circumspection the aggrandisement of France, and the increase and diffusion of her influence and if the noble earl acted upon -any other principle than this he had no hesitation in saying that he betrayed his country. He entreated the noble earl to look at the subject without prejudice or passion, to withdraw himself from the violent prejudices and passions of some of those who surrounded him, and to regard the affairs of the Peninsula only with reference to the honour, the obligations, and the interests of this country. He should now move that the petition be read. Earl Grey, at considerable length, vindicated the conduct of his Majesty's ministers, and concluded by saying that the only question now before their lordships was, that the petition, having been read, should lie upon the table. He (Earl Grey) therefore did not feel it necessary to go into the case further until all the documents were before their lordships; but the noble earl might be assured, that when the day came for the discussion to come on regularly, when the necessary information was before the house, he should be ready to meet the noble earl or any one else who arraigned the conduct of his Majesty's ministers, and to show that in what they had done, or in what they had it in con- templation to do, neither the honour nor the interests of this country would have sufferred by an act of his Majesty's present ministers, or from any circumstances but such as it was not in their power to controul. (Cheers). A long discussion followed, sustained by the Duke of Welling- ton, the Marquis of Londonderry, the Lord Chancellor, the Mar- quis of Landsdown, &c., when the petition was ordered to be laid upon the table. Some bills were then {passed without discussion, through one stige.—Adjourned. TUESDAY, SEPT. 6 •—The Duke of Sussex rose, pursuant to notice, to present to the house a petition on one of the most im- portant subjects that could come under their lordships' consider- ation. The petitioners prayed that their lordships would take under their consideration the present state of the criminal law of this country, with a view to its revision and amendment, and to disconnect the punishment of death from crimes affecting merely the rights of property, but unaccompanied with violence and bloodshed. The petition was signed by no less than 1100 indi- viduals, who were all liable to serve as grand jurors for the county of Middlesex, and seven of whom had actually served as foremen in that capacity. The petitioners stated that their own private feelings of humanity had at various times had a struggle with themselves, lest by finding persons guilty they should be accessory to a judicial murder; and that this feeling sometimes induced jurors and others to give what was vulgarly called a slip to the law, and that criminals from this cause often escaped the hands of justice. His Royal Highness at considerable length supported the prayer of the petitioners. The Lcrd Chancellor said, the subject was certainly of very great importance, and well worthy of the most profound consi- deration but none of their lordships were called upon to express any opinion on the matter in the petition at present; and he should have hardly obtruded himself on their lordships' attention, had it not been that he had been particularly and personally alluded to by his r;yal highness. After long consideration and practical experience, he had certainly been led to conclude that our penal laws were capable of much amendment in respect of the severity of punishments. But when the petitioners called for the abolition of the punishment of death in regard to all crimes against property, if unattended with murder or personal violence, he felt himself called upon to declare that he was not prepared I to draw the line exactly in that manner; for nothing, in his opi- nion, could be less judicious than thus to class crimes which might be of a very different character under the same denomina- tion. Why was it that it was held right to put a murderer to death? Not, certainly, because it had been said in scripture, Whoso sheddeth a man's blood, by man shall his blood be shad. They had no right to put even a murderer to death, for any other reason than that it was expedient that he should be put to death. They had no other right nor warrant, either in reason or religion. The object was to prevent others from com- mitting the crime of murder; and as the comfortable existence of society depended on the repression of that highest crime, it was .expedient to secure its repression by attaching to its commission the highest penalty. He wished, therefore, to guard himself from being understood that murder was the only crime for which death ought to be inflicted. But there was one part of their peti- tion which, in his opinion, could not be sanctioned by their lord- ships. He, at least, could not understand how honourable men serving on juries could trifle with their oaths. How any honour- able man could reconcile this to his conscience, he could not conceive. The jury had no more to do than say, whether, in point of fact, the crime had been committed; and it was for the judge to award the punishment; and he could award only that which the law had prescribed. If it were a crime to inflict the punishment of death in such cases, the crime was-not that of the jurors, but of the legislature (hear, hear); and until the law was altered, the former were bound to act by it. The Duke of Sussex expressed a hope that the subject would be taken into consideration by his Majesty's government. Adjourned. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.—No business of public im- portance occurred.

HUUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, SEPT 5.— Mr. Alderman Wogd withdrew the steam-vessels bill, and gave notice of his intention to move for a -select committee to inquire into the subject of that bill. Mr. Vernon moved that the Speaker do issue his writ to the Clerk of the Crown to forward a new writ for the election of a burgess to serve for the borough of Liverpool in he present par- liament. The motion having been seconded and put, Mr. Bennett said he had wished not to interfere with the pro- gress of the reform bill he was now compelled however, against his own inclination, to bring forward his motion in the shape of an amendment to that of the hon. member. If the reform bill was at all delayed by this proceeding this fault lay- not with him —(hear)—for under the circumstances he could not allow the motion of the hon. member to pass in silence without sacrificing his character for consistency. The hon. member then moved resolutions to the effect that the house agreed to the report of the committee that gross bribery and corruption existed in the elections of the borough of Liverpool and that leave be given to bring in a bill to correct such abuses and prevent their re- currence. After some discussion the house divided, when there appeared For the amendment 76 Against it 35 Majority. —41 The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, That the house re- solve itself into a committee of the whole house, to consider and provide for the payment of barristers for revising the election lists." The Speaker having left the chair, and the resolution having been put. ° The Chancellor of the Exchequer in answer to a question from Sir C. Wetherell, said he ctould not at present tell how many of these barristers were to be appointed. He thought it right the public should pay, as the thing was for the benefit of the public at large. Mr. Hume thought it would be easy to make every person who registered his vote pay a shilling. This would save the charge to the public, and those who had no votes would not be obliged to pay for those who had. He submitted that the persons to be registered should pay one shilling for the registration. Mr. Croker said this would be one of the greatest anomalies of the bill. Hitherto the voters were paid rather than paying. The resolution was then reported to the house, and ordered to be received to-morrow. The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole house upon the reform bill which was forwarded to the 44 clause. The house then resumed, and the Chairman of the committee reported progress and asked leave to sit again to-morrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. TUESDAY, SEPT. 6.—Mr. H. Boss presented a petition from the merchants of Montrose, against the quarantine duty.-Or- dered to be printed. Sir J. Astley presented a petition from sixty clergymen, in- eluding two archdeacons, residing in Wiltshire, against the beer bill. He begged to &ay that concurred ia-thfr prayer of the petition. CROWN DEBTORS. Mr. Hunt, pursuant to notice of motion, moved an address to his Majesty, that he would be pleased to release all crown debt- ors now in prison, at the ensuing ceremony of the coronation; which, after some conversation, was withdrawn. He then moved that the house will on Friday next resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to consider of an address to his Majesty for the advance of a sum of money—say £ 24,000—to discharge from prison individuals imprisoned for small debts; but the mo- tion was negatived. The house then went into committee on the Reform Bill, and proceeded to the 53d clause, when Lord G. Somerset intimated that it was his intention to move that a new district of boroughs be formed in the county of Mon- mouth, for the purpose of sending one member to parliament. Lord J. llv.ssell suggested that this was not the proper moment for this amendment. The noble lord could bring it forward at a future stage, and if it were adopted, the clause should be altered accordingly. Lord o. Somerset said he should be prepared to do so to-morrow. The Chairman put the question, That clause 60 (the last clause) do stand part of the bill." A simultaneous cheer burst from the ministerial benches, which were very full. It was spiritedly re-echoed from the oppo- sition benches, which, however, were very empty. The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose and bowed to the opposite members. (Cheers.) The clause was put, and upon the Chairman saying, As many as are of this opinion, say aye," the house resounded with cheers. "As many as are of the contrary opinion, say no." One or two voices feebly uttered "No." "I think the ayes have it." (Loud laughter, succeeded by cheers.) The bill then passed the committee. Two other clauses were then proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the one enacting that the list of voters should be printed and sold at a cheap rate in every district; the other, that the justices of the peace in the neighbourhood of Shoreham and Cricklade should have the power of dividing those places into convenient districts, so that the poll should be conveniently taken. Both clauses were agreed to, after some desultory con- versation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, there now remained one clause to be, disposed of (hear, hear); he alluded to the money clause, which related to the payment of barristers. He could not bring that clause before the committee until to-morrow. The house then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at two o'clock. THURSDAY, SEPT. 8,CollJnel Evans presented a petition from inhabitants of Westminster, complaining of the injury sus- tained by this country in its commerce with Germany, in con- sequence of the war carried on by Russia against the Poles. After several ether petitions had been presented, the house went into committee on the reform bill. Lord Althorp moved the clause enacting that the sum of C,5 per diem be paid to each barrister while employed under this act, which, on the suggestion of Mr. Campbell (who stated that pounds had been long unknown in Westminster Hall), was altered to guineas, and the clause, thus amended, was agreed to. Lord G. Somerset moved that the boroughs and parishes of Monmouth, Chepstow, and Usk, should in future return one member to parliament. He grounded his motion on the facts that the county of Monmouth would not return under the bill its due share of representatives, as compared with the counties with which it was more than equal in population-in amount of assessed taxes paid to the revenue-and in the amount of its bona fide constituency. If, for example, he took three counties in the north of England-the three counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham-and compared them with the counties of Monmouth, Glamorgan, and Brecon, in Wales, he would find that while the former returned one member for 19,400 of the inhabitants, the representation of the latter was one to 23,400. Then the constituency of Monmouth, Chepstow, and Usk, was upwards of 600 £ 10 householders, while that of more than fifteen towns in the. bill, to return one member, was not on the average 500 while, in addition, the average of the assessed taxes far exceeded the average of those fifteen towns. This motion was opposed by Lord John Russell, and negatived, as was also another clause moved by Lord G. Somerset, for the purpose of giving one member to the district of Abergavenny and JN ewport. Mr. Hunt proposed a clause against the interference of peers either directly or indirectly in elections, which was only sup- ported by himself, and was negatived. The preamble was then agreed to, and Lord J. Russell moved that the Chairman report the bill with its amendments to the house, which was carried amidst loud cheers. The house resumed, and Mr. Bernal hav- ing p-esented the report, it was received and ordered to be printed, and to be taken into further consideration on Tuesday next. Mr. Hughes withdrew his notice of motion repecting the inexpediency of diminishing the members of the house. The house went into committee on the wine dutits bill. Lurd Althorp proposed that the duty on Cape wines should be 2s 9d till 1833, and afterwards 3s. After some conversation the clause was agreed to.-Adjourned.
