At the morning sitting, which commenced at 12 ticha it, some private business having been disposed of, Mr. GRANTLET BIRKELEY gave notice of a mo tion, in case of the failure of Mr. lltsiterti's proposition for relieving the agriculturists, that all ratings to the poor-rate under lac per annum should be commuted to a national rute. A committee of supply having been formed, a vote of 17,754440 U. was passed to pay off outstanding Exchequer hills. The adjourned debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill was then resumed by Mr. PIIII.IP 'lowest), mho wished to record a protest against the first retrog,rade step into persecu tion, as it was impossible to know where it might stop. Throughout the country the anti-eatholic movement had been far from unanimous, and, in the counties of Northumberland and Lancashire, as well as in many of the great industrial cities, had notably failed. Remarking upon the violent expressions thrown out against catholicism in various prelatic and clerical addresses lately presented, he pointed out that in some of those addresses equally violent deeds were couns•Ucd. In his speech to parliament isierfithi that the papif act was a %m 00... —_ A charge had been laid against the Synod of Thurle4, that it intertered to oppose the Queen's Col lege and national education in Ireland; but, in so doing, the catholic ecclesiastical body had but fol lowed the example set them by the majority of pro testant clergymen. lie bulancid the assertion of Sir G. Grey by the counter-assertion of the Earl of St. Germans, who affirmed that the Pope had not attacked the rights of the English church, having neither interfered with her posses sions, nor sought a legal recognition of the Isms he himself created. For a similar conclusion he referred to some expressions of the late Lord Castlereagh, and to the arguments of Dr. Wiseman and Mr. Bowyer, illustrating the subject by a detail of the formularies observed in various ages by the Catholic church for the erection of new secs and the appointment of bishops. The change effected by the papal letter war in strict accordance with these established precedents, and with the dictates of common sense and the example set in Canada, where a similar proceeding was admitted to have been no ameasion. In the much criticised " pas toral" of Cardinal Wiseman, the very address, limited as it uas in express terms to the catholic clergy and laity of the diocese, proved that there was no pur pose of assuming a general or overweening autho rity. The bill before them he characterised as far too violent for the occasion, and as contemplating a wanton and unprecedented interference between the catholic pastors and their flocks. Ile concluded by demanding for his co-religionists not protection, but fair-jilay. Mr. NtelEtt wondered at the pertinacity with which certain parties had opposed—not a specific measure—but the motion for leave to introduce one. Palliated the act of the papacy might be, but it had never been justified; and, by . the highest legal autho ritive, the most exalted dignitaries of the church, and ,the almost universal opinion of the people of Eng land, it had been pronounced an invasion of the law —such as certainly required the provision and du discussion of sonic remedial measure. Believing 1 that the act was a violation of international as well as English law, he denounced the attempt to bully the house, when considering how it could be met, with threats of vehement opposition or declarations that the act width might be passed should never be enfinced. The hon. member proceeded to inquire what were the pjs rinciples of civil and religious liberty now acknowk nod by the constitution, arguing that if those principles were infringed they were fur more so by the attempted usurpation of the Pope than by the protective measure indicated by the govern ment. The house was left speaking, without there being ny probability of a division being taken to-day. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX. ORE.%T METTINO AT DRURY-LANE TUEATRE.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Westminster took place at Drury-lanc Theatre, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure a total end uncon. ditional repeal of the Window Tax. Viscount DCNCAN, M.P., in the chair, supported by Sir B. Hall, Icy, M.P., Lord Dutlley Stuart, M.P., Mr. John Williams, M.P., General Sir de Lacy Evans, M.l'., Mr. Lush- Merton, 31.1'., and many other persons of distinction. The Theatre, from the gallery to the pit, was crowded, and a large proportion of the audience were females. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by expensing his thanks for the honour they had conferred upon him, by eluting him in the position he occupied, and he would eICITIAC his best abilities in furtherance of the object in slew. He would not however go thn'ugh the argument which for the last six sears he bad nn e... use of in the House of Commons upon this important subject, hut be would inform them that he had *gain given notice of a motion for a total and uncondi tional repeal of the window-tax. This motion would be brought forward to-morrow week, and unless the Chancellor of the Exchequer should in the meantime take the argument out of his mouth, he would not fail to discharge the duty he hail imposed upon himself. Some years ago, when the questiou was mooted in the House of i Commons, he was told that he was an impracticable pet sent n wishing to accomplish an impossibility ; but at 'the present moment it appeared that the repeal of the window tax was not only possible but cx trieuely probable. There had been some talk about • house tax as a substitute for the window duties, but this was not what they wanted. (No, no.) They desired an uncon ditional repeal 01 the most obnoxious tax that ever was imposed upon the people of England. (Cheers.) The noble lord then procetded to call attention to the injustice which the public had experienced in consequence of the intentions of Lord Althorp up the subject of the window-tax not having been dulv carr on ied out. Lord Althorp had prepared that ell those who paid the tae should be at liberty to so many windows as they thought proper, but other ~ee rs of the Exchequer having come into office, the =wore called upon to pay an additional tax fur every they opened. Such was the state of things at the = moraent, and the retunu to the House of Commons that the poorer classes of the people paid a smock law proportion of the window-tax than the members sf She aristocracy. Now he would ask—was this fair ? (No, no.) Then he would ask no more, for anything Bre was not fair in England cou ld not stand. (laud theses.) It appeared from the government stets. Mint of the financial condition of the country at she present moment that the revenue presents& • surplus of two millions and a half. The tax which hs (Lord Duncan) proposed to repeal produced an in come of 1,700.00tM. 1 his was a tax which in • time of peace the government were bound to remove. He was not one of those who advocated the principle of • surplus revenue, for he did not think it right that the government should take more out of the pocket , ' of the peo ple than was absolutely neceseary. (Ilcar, hear.) The present government had come into othee upon free trade meneures, and those measures had been the means of placing the public in this happy situation with regard to the ;revenue. They had a right, therefore, to demand that free-trade should be established in light and air. (Hear.) Hs thought the present was a fitting time for removing this odious impost, and by its total repeal every man in this country would have it in his power to build his own " Crystal Palace." (Cheers.) Mr. GEESIN, churchwarden of St. Jamar, proposed the first resolution. "That the window duty is a tax upon light and air; that it is unequal, unjust, and detrimental to health and comfort; that it is opposed to sanitary reform and architectural is provements, and that it is a mode of levying taxation that never ought to have been adopted, and, in the opinion al this meeting, ehould no longer continue." The hon. gentlemen proceeded to point out certain statis tics, showing that, as regards the window-tax. the poorer dares were paying to the amount of from 26 to 30 per cent and the aristocracy about 2i per cent Having demoustrated that the tax war not only most unfair in its results, butt the same time injurious to health. Mr. Geesin conclude to d by observing that th e cr y stal palace in Hydc-park ought be allowed to stand as • memorial of the repeal of this most i n i qu itous impose (Hear, hear.) Mr. DENG'S, churchwarden of St. Ann's, West :Waster, seconded the resolution, and confirmed the mirk whichof the preceding speaker in reference to rho arils which resulted from the tax, and also with regard to the unjust proportion in which iS was levied. He observedlhat it WV a most unjust that the people of Ireland should be exempt from the tax. Not that he wished to tax the poor of that country, but he must protest a,talnot the poor people of England being compelled to pay that which the rich people of Ireland were exempt from. (Hear, hear.) General EVANS supported the resolution, pointing out the way in which the tax pressed upon the poor, and ex pressing hi. determination to use his best endeavour' to secure its total repeal. His own opinion was that the Chancellor of the Exchequer already intended to abolish the tax, but as to a house tax being substituted he did not think that the right honourable gentleman i contemplated such • thing. (Hear, hear) They already paid a house-tax in the property and income tax, and it was hardly probable that the government .11 , ,u1d demand any further supplies from the same source. (dear, bear.) Mr. C. LCSIIINGTON al , o spoke in favour of the reso lution, and stated that, if this tax were, repealed, it would be owing to the exertions of the metropolitan districts, and his firm cons irtion was, that on Friday next the Chancellor of the Exchequer would announce in the House of Com mons the total and uncompromised abolition of this tax. (Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously adopted. Other resolution, condemnatory of the tax, and thanking Lori Duncan and the other members of parlia ment fur their exertions in the matter, were successively passed, and the meeting separated. PROPOSED REDUCTION OF THE ADVER TISEMENT TAX. TO tar EDITOR 01 ERR DAILY MUER. Sta,—l am surprised that the press has not taken syrdiervaggestion thrown out by one of the deputa tion to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as to the reduction of the duty on advertisements to lid. Although the tax may be objectionable on prin ciple, yet this reduction would be a very great boon, and it would have these two great advantages-- namely, that the effect of the reduction in the increase of advertisements would be ascertained with cer tainty, and that the loss of revenue would be made up in proportion to the increased use of this means of publicity ; and, indeed, if the paper duties arc not to be altered, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would gain by the additional quantity of paper which would be used, as many would doubtless, like myself, spend all the money Which was saved from the tux in additional advertisements. But, sir, it is understood, and it was admitted in the house a few nights since, that the government is in litigation with the unstamped press, and that the " Household Narrative" has been selected for the trial of the question. If this he so, a portion of the newspaper press has, in the opinion of the govern ment. been bearing for years a burden from which others have been unjustly exempt, and an irresistible' argument thence arises in favour, at all events, of the removal or lessening of the duty paid in respect of advertisements in stamped newspapers. It would be a simple net of justice, but, at the tame time, the cheapest mode in which a Chancellor of the Exchequer could obtain popularity by the remission of taxation, while it would hold out an inducement to some publications to become stamped newspapers. In a financial point of view it could effect the reve nue in so trifling a degree that this remission could nut disturb in any manner the plans of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, for if the duty paid upon advertisements in stamped newspapers be taken ut about 90,011(1/. per annum, and if upon a reduction of the duty to Ud. the number of advertisements be merely assumed to double, the direct loss of income on this head would be only 30,000/. per annum. In a year like this, when advertising will be so necessary to all, it is of the first importance that there should be WILD modification of this tax, and there is no class upon whom it presses more heavily than upon publidiers, who, desirous to give each hook a separate advertisement, often pay a larger sum for duty than the whole charge of the advertise ment would otherwise be. Pray try to get UN some relief.—Yours, &c. A BOOKSELLER. THE RUMOURED DEATH or VISCOUNT NEWRY, announced in yesterday's Express, on the authority (as stated) of the Armajh Guardian, has been contradicted by his lordship's brother. FATAL OeCUßßENCE.—Voitcrdity afternoon, a gen tleman, named Samuel Purnell, aged nri, who resided at No. 7, Baker-street, was noticed sitting in front of the fire read ing a newspaper. Soon afterwards an acquaintane.. c tiled to see the unfortunate gentleman, when, on some one pros eding to his room and opening the door, Mr. Parnell was found sitting in his chair completely enveloped iu flame. A young lady rushed into the house for the per pone of rendering assistance ; hut owing to the density of the smoke and the braly of the flame, she dropped senseless on the floor, whe she would have soon been suffocated had it not been for the exertion, of some of the other inmate.. The flames were extinguished, but not until Mr. Parnell was burnt to death. INCREASE IN THE COAL TRADI:.—('ARDTIF.--The coal trade in Monmouthshire is rapidly extending, and on densely crowded hate the flute Docks at Cardiff been, that notwithstanding every facility for the rapid shipment of tool, much delay ha, been experienced iu meeting the de mand. In order props rly to meet thi. gnat extension of the staple trade of the pert and the district, it has been pro posed to construct another dock to the eastward of the pre sent docks, for the accommodation of large vessels; and a project has been mooted to contort the sea-lock into a dock. The merchants and others interested in the trade have taken the matter up and petitioned the trustees of the Bute Roche on the subject. In the valley of Abereare, Calmer ganehire, several very deep pits are being sunk, with every prospect of success. THE SUIPPOSED CAsE OF POISONING AT TODMOR DEN.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Mrs. Cooper, the late wife of Mr. Cooper of Stanfield-ball. Todmorden (whose apprehension on a charge of murder was narrated In Friday's paper), was held at Bilutn, near York, on Mon day, when the result of the analisation was announced. The stomach of the deceased was found to be free from all poison, and death had resulted from natural causes. Mr. Cooper yesterday (Tuesday) was discharged from custody ; but on application the magistrates declined to make any order respecting the letters in the custody of the polio.', which are of an extraordinary character, and show that months before hi. wife's death he was preparing tor her enecessor. Thew and other facts gave rise to suspicions and to his apprehension. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. NEAR GLU4GOW.—On Monday night, about a quarter to d o'clock, fire was observed to break out in the Ilargrieve Cotton Factory, situated at Duntocher, 10 mikes from Glasgow, and the property of Mews. William D and Company. The building is a three-storey erection, about sixty yards in length, with garrets. These are used as scotching-room., and it was in them that the fire originated. Its cause we have not ascertained. The alarm reached Glasgow about 6 o'clock. The engine of the West of England Insurance Company immediately repaired to the spot, and was followed in rapid succession by that of the North of England Company and one of those connected with the police establishment. By the time they arrived at the place the flames bad gathered great strength, and a considerable portion of the building had fallen a prey to them. They were at length subdued, but the damage is %cry great. The loss is computed at about 12,000 i. A great number of individuals will be thrown out of employment. —Glasgow , Daily Mail. NATIONAL REFORM AsOCIATION.—ott Monday a meeting was held at the Mechanics' Institute, Chathlm, when the chairman (Dr. Steele). Mr. Whaler, Mr. Cobb, and Mr. Wickham addressed those present. The latter, who attended from the council, explained the principle.. and objects of the parent association in the Poultry, sad elicited the approbation of the meeting by the manner in which he laid down the mode of operation to be adopted by local associations. The following resolutions were primed unani mously, viz. Ist. That, m the opinion of this meeting, the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Associa tion is well deserving of public support, and well fitted to remove prevailing abuses, especially those connected with parliamentary representation ; that therefore the persons present resolve themselves into a committee, with power to add to their number, for the purpose of forming a local society, to be called " The Rochester and Chatham Parlia mentary and Financial Reform Association," to act in conjunction with the National Association. 2nd.

THE UNHAPPY 111PFERENCE8 between the seamen of Hull and the shipowners still continue. The wages de manded by the men are 3/. per month and small stores, and a strong determination seems to be apparent among the men to accept no less. Yesterday (Tuesday), as the vessel Minstrel, bound to America, was about to leave the Hum ber dock to proceed on her voyage, about 500 sailors as sembled on the pier, a rumour having been circulated that she was about to sail with a crew who had signed for re duced wages, viz., 3!. per month without small stores. As she was leaving the dock several sailors sprang on board to bring the crew on shore if possible, and were immediately followed by some police officers, who took two of the sailors into custody. On landing they were surrounded by a large mob in the greatest state of excitement, and who shortly commenced an attack upon the police, with the intention of rescuing the prisoners. The officers were eo hardly pressed that they were compelled, in self-defence, to use their truncheons, and several severe injuries were sustained. Stones, brickbats, and other offensive missiles were hurled with much violence, and considerable damage was occa sioned to the houses near the spot. After much difficulty the police succeeded in lodging the prisoners in prison and in apprehending the ringleaders of the riot. The town is now comparatively quiet.

The chief feature of the English stock market to , day has been the closing of the old account in Con sots, and the opening of the new one. The arrange ments for the settling were effected satisfactorily, the amount of "differences" being. as we anticipated, small, and the rate of "continuation " to the next account, which is fixed for the 11th March, in most instances, ruled at 4.
