"In sjnelting coppor ores, it is well known that there is produced a large quantity ol matter called slag, which is thrown away as refuse and it is farther well known that such slag contains copper in small quantities. The object of this invention is a mode of obtaining the copper from such slag. "The furnace employed for this purpose i» suitably arranged for being blast, in a similar man- ner to what is practised in iron and some other furnaces; the back and sides are lined with fire brick.and the front of the furnace is faced with a plate of "qt irott. The lower part is filled with small cinders well rammed. There is an opening through which the fluid iniifl flowa »h»n in a melted slate. In the front of his opening i* a cast iron trough, filled with cinders and at out end, an opening into a small chamber or trough, hy nhiali ilny copper or other matters which may deseend therewith fall into a recess or chamber at itit, side of the furnace.

1 M PERI A L PA !i L I A M E N T. IIOUSE OF LORDS,—THURSDAY, FEB. 4. The Earl of MINTO, in pursuance of notice moved the thanks of the Mouse to Admiral Sir K. Stopford, G C.B., aud the officers and men employed under his command in the late operations on the coast of Syria; and delivered a warm eoloj;ium on the ineriis of this po, tion of the Briti-h fleet. Lord COLCH LS I CR concurred in this expres- sion of approbation. The Dulie of WtOi I.INGTON, in terms of the iivSt cordial eatnettnes«, avowed his admiration of the services performed by those engaged in the glorious expedition under discussion. lie d- red the present one of the ureatest deeds of modern times, b-H thought it his duty to warn their lordships that (liev iiiiiqt not always expect that ships, however well commanded, or however gallant their seamen might be. were capa- ble of commonly engaging successfully with stone walls. After a few words of perfect concurrence from Lord" HARDWICK and HILL, the resolutions were unanimously agreed to. A bill for the enfranchisement of copyholds was brought in by Lord REDESDALE, and read a first ti me. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought in a fur- ther rpport from Ihe committee oppointed to inspect file journals of the Honse upon former trials of peers in criminal cases, which stated the total number of seats that could he provided at the trial to be 640, and also contained certain regulations as to the livery of ticket. of admission, and other similar me (ter*. -Report agreed to. Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition frem Leicester against church rates, inquired whether Ministers intended to bring forward ttit measure brought forward thiee years ago. Lord MELBOURNE replied iii the negative. In answer to a question respecting the Eccle- riastical Courts Bill, The LORD CH ANCELLOR expressed his inten- tion of introducing it again this session. Lord BROUGHAM moved for an account of the nllrnblr of day" on which Privy Councils had sat, and of the number of petitions, appeals, and causes 4whicit they had heard, during the seven years up 10 1840.-Motion agreed to. #1""#-# HOUSE OF COMMONS,—THUHSDAY.FKB. 4. Mr Gladstone took the oaths and his seat as member for Walsall. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE, in answer to several questions from Sir R. lnli, explained what pro- gress had been made in relieving the civil and military servants of the I ndia Government from any connection with the idolatrous ceremonies prac- tised in that country. The Pilgrim tax in Bengal had been wholly abolished, and, except in the Presidency of Madras, the instructions sent out in IH38 had been fully carried into effect. The atten- dance of Christian troops at heathen festivals, and of Hindoos or Mahometans at those of either faith, which would wound their prejudices, wasdispensed any instance the orders issued to this effect had been disregarded, steps would be taken to ensure obedience for the future. Lord MORPETH then rose to move for leave to fcrinj in a Ministerial measure of Irish Registra- tion He admitted the existence of gross abuses; lie professed the willingness of government to redress the evils of the present system of certin elites, slid to allow to the objector as well as to the rlfiimant an appeal on matter of law, though not on mailer of fact. But ministers were not inclined to make these reforms without adding a precise definition of the franchise. They had no objection to an annual revision, but they could not consent to deprive the voter of the facility which he now dtrived from the riglit of quarterly registration And when the voter should once have been regis- tered, they would not have him disturbed, except upon circumstances subsequent to his o<it;inal ad- mission, else he would be liabie to a tresh attack before every fi,e4iii revising barrister. As to the ootirt oftppea).Lord Morpeth objected to have it Constituted of the judges of the land; he should propose a court of three ban isters, to be nominated by the Speaker. He then contended, that with the measure of registration there should be coupled a definition of the franchise, The principle and test by which he proposed to determine the franchise, "ollld b the valuation of the voter's property to the new poor rate. It was apprehended, however, !)y some of the Liberals, that as the Poor Law valuations are always pared down by many deduc- tions, no amount of valuation could be fixed which vould not practically raise the qualification beyond the standard fixed by the Reform Act. Two bar- risters had been commissioned to visit various unions, and report upon the systems of valuation pursued there. The result afforded a fair sample of the valuations throughout Ireland. His lord- ship then read a variety of extracts from the report, from which it appeared that the scale of valuation general I y a low one; and that the valuators had for the, nio%t pari taken as their test, not the rttnt whieh the highest bidder would give, but -the rc-nt for vhich eL good landlord otiglit to let to a tenant paying repairs, insurance, and all charges; tnd 1 lv$t even with reference to this test,the valua- tors had usually estimated the rents b-low the sums by the most indulgent landlords. Therefore a rated n would probably range far higher than ei'her ot ttio valiie4 now in contention, which ar* commonly called the solvent tenant's test, and tl.. occupier's profit test. After some remarks on the insdeqitste proportion of electors in Ireland to the population, aa compared with England, Lord Morpeth concluded by y i ng thil t he would pro- pose that a rating of £5 should confer the Parlia- !iioii,nrv provided the premises wer. held for ihe residue of a term which in its counnence- iaent had been not I*i tiiikn fo,irteeii yt-ars. Where iiio tenancy was only from yeir to yvar, tie would not annex any PariiametitHry franchise to the ratinsr legi lie olio,,Id expose tenants, readily removeable, to the vindictive exercise of their landlord's power. Lord STANLEY observed that this postscript 10 the government bill, this proposed alteration of the franchise, was no amendment of the existing system, but a new Reform Bill, and expressed his astonishment that on the alendwr intelligence de- rived from two barristers who had vi-i ed some ten unions, the noble lord should have brought forward so large a proposal. As to the proportions of electorit to population, the principle of franchise adopted by Lord Grey's Government had not been mere numbers, but numbers coupled with fitness to exercise that franchise. But the present plan was to deluge tll. counties of Ireland by giving a vote to every labourer who had a couple of acres under it fotirteen years' least. Lori] HOIVI('G ftilly c,,netirred in the principle of the proposed alteration in the franchise, which he had never wished restricted, but which greatly needed a definition. The state of Ireland was a subject of great present anxiety; he blamed the Conservatives who had opposed the wishes of the Irish people; but he blamed still more the agita- tors of repeal, and especially the members for Dublin. Mr O'CONNELL observed, that the valuation under the Poor Laws was al Ways below the truth. He approved the hill now proposed, and believed it would give satisfaction to the Irish people Lord Stiinley's bill would have an opposite effect. Mr SHAW was not surprised that Mr O'Connell dvolarcd himself satisfied with a £ 5 franchise throughout the counties of Ireland, when a £ 10 rating was Decessary to give a vote even for a town councillor. Mr Serjeant JACKSON took notice, that Lord Morpeth had admitted the existence of the abuses which had given riq* to Lord Stanley's measure, i *nd rejoiced that government hed adopted some of Lord Stanley's iiioqt material provisions. The former bills of government, he feared, had been mere blinds; in the present he hoped there was or. sincerity. He was billing to consider the principle of a reference to the Poor Law valuation; kul the proposal for fixing the standard at jE5 Was nothing less than another revolution. Mr Villiers St,-arl, Lord Clement%, ,Ir %I'ard, Mr Litton, and the O'Conor Don, followed; and leave was given to bring in the bill. Mr t,%BoUCtlEltp, wio,ed for leave to r)rin, in a bill, the object of which was 10 increase the Safety of'railroad 1. a veil iug. —Leave granted. Leave was then given to LOld J Russell to bring in a bill for the Registration of Parlia- !Ill> r e ¡"C r or' Lord J. HUSELL next moved fnr a select c-mmittee on the Acts respecting South Australia. The business and the nnance of the colony was in great distvder, and and there was no regular control. The colony had spent in 1839 about £ 140,000, when itl re entie was only aboul X'20,000. Large bills had been drawn by the Governor on this country, and parties hdd not been willing, in the present siate of ihe law, to advance money for the discharge of those bills. After observations from Lord Mahon, Lord Stan- ley, and Mr Hume, the motion was adopted. # HOUSE OF LORDS,—FkiDAY, FEB. 5. Th. motion of which the Earl of Ripon had Iriven notice for Monday next, on the subject of our relatione with postponed till some future day. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from "ttaiu planters and landowners in India praying for the equalization of duties on East aud Weel India produce- His lo d-,hip ■> ns expatiating on the views of the petitioners, when the Duke of Welling- ton « ns attacked with sodden iudi«po<it ion, and assisted out of the House by the Karl of Aberdeen. Lord EHenborougb, Lord Redesdale, and other noble lords. It was generally understood at the moment that his grace's illness bore no alarming character. Viscount DUNCANNON brought up some fur- ther resolutions from the committee appointed to make arrangements for ttie trial of the Earl n' and their lord-tliips then adjourned tiil Monday. .ø"ø" HOUSE OF COMMONS,—FRIDAY, FFB 5 A ne,v ,rit wtt, ordered for King's COllnty in lire room of M r Fitz.simon, w ho had accepted ititicilillefil Hundreds Several notices of motion were then given, aming lliem one by lord STANLEY, that he would, on .Monday next, put a question relative to the alleged apprehension of Air \1'Lt'ot! by the authorities of the state of New York, and the com- munication which had passed thereon between her Majesty's government and that of the United States. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the thanks of the House to Sir Robert Stopford, Admiral Napier, i. C. Smith, and other officers and forces engaged in the late operations on the coast of Syria, lie gave u short narrative of the reduction of Acre, and bestowed a warm eulogy on the services of those who achieved it. The political questions connected with the Syrian war di not arise upon the presenl occasion. But referring to the improvements of modern titne-i in the arts and machinery of war, he wished to observe that their successful re- sults were owing in a great degree to the character of the men who had applied and directed them, a character formed and exalted by the institutions of a great and free country, and combining, in a re- markable degree, the qualities of valour and of prudence. Lord STANLEY seconded the motion. He agreed that the political merits of the contest were not now in discussion; the present duty of the House was only to record their high opinion of the officers and men who had done so much honour to their country. He was anxious, on the part of his own side of the Mouse, to express, that whatever might be the difference of pa-ty, there was but one feeling among men of all pot i tics on the subject of the country's success, and of the gallantry of her forces. Lord F. EGERTON concurred in the praises be- stowed, and wished that, consistently witt) usage, ? he names of other officers could be i nol uded in the vote. Mr HUME, though he fell the value of the services rendered, yet regretted that they had been employed in s<<ch a cause. He distinguished widely between those who had obeyed the orders, and those who had given them. He wished for the papers Sir ti. tiAltDINGE thought that ministers had acted properly in not mixing the political with the military part of the subject. The scene of the victory recalled the recollection of the exploits of Sir Sidney Smith, to whose memory he thought the oountry should erect a monument. Sir DE LACY EVANS regretted that Mr Hume should have taken this occasion for cen- suring the policy whioh had led to these brilliant results. Sir it. INGLIS hoped that it might be her Ma- jesty's pleasure to honour Sir Robert Stopford with some mark of her favour. Lord INGESTRIE begged to join in the general tribute of applause; and the several votes were passed unanimously. Mr Serjeant TALFOURD then moved the second reading of the Copyright Bill. Mr MACAULAY made a long and clever speech against it, and the second reading was defeated by a majority ot 7. Mr HAWES obtained leave to bring in a Bill of Medioal Reform. It %va% read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Friday week. Lord MOKPETH's Irish Registration Bill was read a first tillIe, and ordered for a second reading on Friday week. The House then adjourned. "1' HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY, FEB. 8. A royal message was read recommending- some signal mark of favour 10 he conferred on Lord Keane and his two next surviving heirs. Lord BROUGHAM S hill for the etifratichiseoient of copyhold property was read a eeond time. A petition, which was complied with, was pre- sented from Lord Cardigan, praying tor the attend- ance of Sir William Follett,i\Ir Sergeant VVranghani, and Mr Adolphus as his counsel, and Messr. Powell and Wilde ns his solicitors. Lord MOUNTCASIIEL put "nme questions rela- tive lo the arrest of Mr M'Cleod, which were answered by Lord Melbourne. "'6!P"6' HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, FEB. 8. Mr Smythe took the oaths and his seat for Can- terbury. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Rich- mond Yorkshire, in lieu of Mr A.Speirs, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. A message from the Crown, similar in purport to that in the other house, was read from the chair, recommending that the great and brilliant services of Lord Keane should be taken into consideration. Lord STANLEY having stated the circumstances wliieli led to the arrest of Nlr NI'Leod, iii Ne,,v York, on the charge of being a party in the destruc- tion of the Caroline ateam vessel, proceeded to ilsk the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether, a a correspondence on the subject of the of th" Caroline had taken place between ihe government of the U"it"d Slates and that of Great Britain, as far back as 1838, he had any objection to lay that cor- respondence on the table; whether he had received any Iespitichey frois) Mr Fox, cotilaiiiiiig ttie cominii- nications referred to by Mr Fox in his letter to Mr Forsyth, recently published and whether any, and if any, what steps had tieen t iken to afford protec- tion t" Mr M'Leod; and if Ihere was any objection 10 Isv ihe correspondence upon this subject also 011 the tahle of ihe house? Lord PALMERSTON said that the no'de lord had adverled with great discretion to a subject so delicate in its nature as to require being touched upon, if ill all, with gi eat reserve. It was not expe- dient to lay Ihe correspondence on the subject oil the table of the house under existing circumstan- ces. Her Majesty's government had received des- patches from Mr Fox within the lasl Ie- days, enclosing lie correspondence which had taken place between that gentleman and Mr Forsyth, and as ii had been already published in America he had no objections to lay copies on the table. It was ini. portant slate thai, according to the information he had received, Mr M'Leod was not one of the party engaged iu the destruction of the Caroline. Willi respect to the ground laken by Mr Forsyth in ti is letter to Mr Fox, he would say that the Alllerican government had already treated the transaction as a mailer to he discussed het ween the t wo governments. Under all the however, he though! it desirable to avoid discussion on the subject. Lord STANLEY observed that the noble lord had not answered one qijeqiioti-ii-imely, 1% btit steps had been taken for the liberation of Mr M-Leod. Lord PALMEItSTON replied thai a somewhat similar case in principle occurred about 18 months or two years hack, in reference to which instructions were sent to Mr Fox, who had fonnded upon those instructions the steps he had already taken in the case of Mr M'Leod. He would only ask the House 10 believe thai such further in«tructioos should he sent out as government deemed necessary, but it was not prudent to state what those instructions might be. Lord J. RUSSELL having moved the second reading of the Poor Law Amendment Bill, Mr D'ISR A ELI 1 ose to oppose it, trusting I hat as members had been taunted wiih a sileuce in Ihe louse unsuitable 10 I heir declarations on the hustings the House would indulge him with a hearing. It Was impossible. said, to conceive any revolution ,I ffe., niole than the POll" Law the happi- ness of the people. The parochial constitution ot England had been destroyed for a mere pecuniary benefit, which afiei all hId not been obtained. The expenditure was now on the increase and you would soon have to pay, under a system of abuse, as much us was paid under the abrogated law. Tlie statute of Elizabelh might he detective or obscure, bu- the new scheme of shutting up your pauper population in prisons was, upon the principles of human nature, impracticable. He admitted that the coulrouling power uuder tne new scheme must be central, but lie thoughi it might also be local it might reside in the chief city of each disn ict. In Ihe new bill he found not only uiiiolim. wiih the objections belonging to them, bin unions of unions, with all those objec- tions rroportionally increased. Here were powers In the commissioner* quite without precedent; cen- tralization, after all, was a principle rather appli- cable to material than to moral government. A metropolitan controul might be cheaper and more con- venient than a provincial one. Ii might make government strong, andsoeiety weak but he would rather have a strong society, and a weak government. He was persuad d that the measure had produced much disaffection, aud be woold move that the present bill should be r-al .1 second time on that th'/ six month*. Mr WAKEY seconded ibis amendment. Mr GAl.LY KNIGH T was not surprised ittilt gentlemen iuveiglfd ngainst this low for it was aP eflllY road to popularity. Mr BUCKE won'd not concur with the absolute oi ponents of lh« bill but he thought that POIlIt of the clati-" ftiti%l be amended. Mr MUNTZ disliked the law fur making no difference between the i-e.-I)ectable atid ilie disioluft poor. ,Ilr I,ID[)E[,L vroiii(i oppo-e the bill, to record his disapprobation of the proposal for continuing Ihe COli, mi"iun pra during ten years more. Sir H. PEEL said, Ihe two great questions werC< the continuance of the experiment, and the centrs- lizaiion of the management. We were too apt t" forget the p 1st evi's, and lo dwell only on the pre- •eni. The sta'e of things which preceded the pre- sent law wns the ground of the course which he took. lie cited it!ine evidence taken before a com- mittee Oil agriculture, showing tlint in certain parishes, as the amlJ\Jnl of money relief had in, creased, so had also lbt- demoralization of the la!>our> i'ltr classes. He believed Ihat even uoder the old system there «ere many hardships, which, ns the districts were small arid insulated, were not heard of as abuse* are now in the large unions, where so many peop'e are assembled. Iu supporting the principle of this hill, lie must, however, reserve to himself the right of questioning isevei-al of its clauses. He had great doubt, for instance, as to the expediency of the ten yeai-s' coiitiiamouce. He hoped, too, that the law would uot be ex" »d with strict rigidity; and that in mailers of feeI-„, sui-li as churchyard burial, ttiere would be a due defer- ence to the natural seutimeuts and wishes of the people. Mr T. DUNCOMBE said the present srsten wanted amenduietit but this bill contained nothing except aggravaiion. Mr FOX MAULE said there had been quite sufficient time for its consideration, inasmuch a8 it was almost the same with the bill oflast year. Sir E. KNATt'HBULL would aot oppose the second reading, though lie objected to mauy of the clauses, aud wished for a good deal of relaxation in its working. Lord HOWICK believed the act of 1834 to be one of Ihe most beneficial measures ever paMed, and rejoiced, therefore, that no one had gone MO far as to propose the restoration of the old system. Out door relief, given under pressure, would be an example, discouraging provident habits. Mr DARBY urged the importance of consulting the people's feelings on 'he subject of burials. He thought it an important security to the country to limit the term of the renewal. It was an error to suppose that the new law restored the principle of the 43d of Elizabeth; if it had, There woutd not bay& been the present opposition 10 it. Mr RICE held ii to be indispensable that the management should be with a central board. Captain PEC HELL inveighed against the fj*- tem and the commissioners. Mr Arr\OOD observed Ihat almo". alllh supporters of the second reading had made it a condition of their eventual support, that the bill should receive great alterations, of which the tone of its authors gave little reason to expect the accom- plishment. Lord J. RUSSELL contended that the New Poor Law was founded on the principle of the statute of E izabeth, which goes at once to relieve the old and infirm, but requires from the able bodied a lest to distinguish whether they are willing to perforin labour if it be found for them. The Duke of Wel- ling-ton had acted on this principle in allotting relief during a famine in India. Then came the question, whether the workhouse lest would admit any considerable relaxation but there had been no suggestion offered, which would not, in his opinion, bring back the evils of the old system. He en. treated the House not to admit the recurrence of so injurious a state of things, nor seek popularity by undermining the independence of the tabourers. He would not entei now into detail; but he shout J regret to see the period reduced from ten years to five. Upon a division the motion was carried by a majority of 147, the numbers being-Aye.) 201; noes, 54. The other ordeis of the day were then disposed of, aud the House adjourned at I o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS,—TUESDAY. FEB. 9 An address to the Queen was agreed to, assuring her Majesty of a, hçarly concurrence in any evoeasures ihat might be adopted on the behalf of Lord Keuue. An order was made for the attendance of certain witnesses in the case of Lord Cardigan, aud the House adjourned ti'I Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY, FEB 9. Mr SANFOR D gave tioticeofcertaiiiamendnien-o to the new Poor Law Bill, the effect of which will be to limit the operaliuu of it to five years instead of ten. Mr COLQUHOUN gave notice that on the 23d of February tie should move for leave to bring in a bill 10 amend the act of the Irish Parliament relating to the college of Maynooth. Some other notices of motion were given and returns ordered. A COli versation ensued respec ing the capture of Mr M'Leod by the American authorities. Lord PALMEllSTON, in his answer, admitted that the final instructions of the government on the subject to our minister in the United States were only sent off 011 Saturday last, although it was well known to the government that the trial iaverjr nuar at hand. In answer to questions by Mr Smith O'Brien, Lord MORPETH said it was not his intention to propose any measure relating to the establishment of railways in Ireland, or to introduce any bill for the amendment of the Irish Poor Law Act. Lord MORPETH, in answer to Mr Shaw, said the government intended to introduce a measure to amelld the Irish Municipal Reform Act. Mr F. KELLY obtained leave to bring in a bill for the abolition of the punishment of death in cer- tain case,. Lord J. RUSSELL, on the part of the goveru- in,-is!. objected to ihe unconditional abolitiou of that punishment. Leave was given to Mr Fox Maule to bring in a bill to improve the practice and extend the jiiri*- diction of County Courts. Also a bill enabling the Lord Chancellor to direct that certain proceedings from the Court of Chancery, in relation to bank- ruptcy, lunacy, -and insolvency, may be carried into the County Courts. After a long and ahle statement from Mr Emerson Teunent, upon the subject of the piracy which was now practised, he obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Law of Copyright designs. The consideration of her Majesty's message in reference to the grant to Lord Keane was postponed till Friday next. The proposed grant is to be to the amount of E-2,000 a year. Some other miscellaneous business was transacted, and the House, at eleven o'clock, adjourned lill Thursday.
