In the House of Lords last night the Earl of Da mn, ea the authority of communications received by rim from Ireland, denied the statements made le, Lord Baoetnisse en former occasions, that Irish land beds, o r inspectors, had supplied paupers with pas sage money to convey them to Liverpool, in order to enable them to throw themselves on the poor-rates. Lord BROrOIIA3I could not disbelieve the authority cc which he had made the statements in question. There were now 70,000 Irish paupers in Liverpool sad Manchester, and he hoped a declaratory act would be passed to facilitate their removal.—The Marquis of LONDONDERRY brought forward the sub ject of Army Enlistment, desiring to know whether the Army Service Bill before the House of Commons bad received the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief, cc of amp board of general officers, and whether it was intended to return to the warrant of 1806 with reference to the pensions of non-commissioned officers and soldiers?—Marl GREY declined to give an answer to the first question on the ground of the inconve nience and injury which must result from divulging confidential communications between her Majesty's advisers and an officer of such high station as the Commander-in-Chief ; but as regarded the second, it was not intended to re-establish the pension warrant to which the noble lord referred. These statements being unsatisfactory to the Marquis of LONDON DERRY, be then submitted a motion for the produc tion of the documents in question, stating his belief that every military authority, theoretical as well m practical, concurred in the opinion that the bill for limiting the period of enlistment was a rash and dangerous experiment, and that it was due to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers to revive the pension system of 1806.—Earl GREY must also decline the production of the papers, for which no parliamentary ground had been laid. — The Earl of CARDIGAN looked with terror and apprehension at the measure of the government. In his opinion, the most effectual way of inducing • higher class of men to enlist would be by adopting • more liberal pension system, and a curtailment in the period of cohinial service. By the bill in question, after a period of thirty-four years, a man would re ceive a pension of but sixpence a day, being about the amount paid to a pauper. Was this, he would ask, a system likely to induce a superior class of men to enter the army ? After some further observations, the Marquis a LONDONDERRY withdrew his motion. In the House of Commons, Mr. Havree, in answer to Mr. Hume, said no official information had been received from the legislative council of New South Wales on the subject of secondary punishments ; but when it arrived it would be laid before parliament. Lord PALMERSTON, in reference to the erection of the Protestant church at Alexandria, observed that • stun equal to the amount already expended, compelled is it had been partly of • public grant and partly of private subscriptions, would be necessary to defray the expense of its completion, in copeepasnee of those charged with the erection hav ing embarked upon • more extensive pint than that originally proposed. The subject was tin der the consideration of the government, as to the advisability or otherwise of making a further advance. Sir De LACY EVANS was desirous of knowing whether the Home Secretary authorised the censure conveyed by the Poor-law Commis loners to the local authori ties in Westminster, in consequence of their having, pending the proceedings for the committee on the Lew of Settlement, grew relief to non-resident poor. Sir GEORGE GRET replied that the opinion of the law officers of the crown having been taken on the legal construction to be put on the act, the C t minissioners had intimated to the Guardians generally, that that opinion ought to govern their node of proceedings,—but as regarded the matter bow ads% rted to, no sanction had been asked of, or given by them. A short discussion on the public works qua, Lion in Ireland ensued, after whim Mr. Boernwlea rose to call the attention of Lord Palmer s t on to a proclamation issued in Catalonia by General Ili eton, dated the 4th instant, and asked the noble lord whether he had made any remon strance to the Court of Spain on the subject, and if s o , we tad he consent to lay a copy of the dispat c h ' on the table of the house. Lord PALMERSTD V, in reply, 'dated that the government bad ,no official knowledge what ever of the mo d e= tion, and, therefore, no steps had been taken by the m a k 1 the subject, which was one, if founded on fact, that must excite in the mind of every membe r o f ta diagast and indignation. The noble lord, afte r l a uding to the Durango and other decrees i ssue d b y . the Oarlike at a former period, which had never 1 wen reciprocated by the Winos, re f erre d to a rot ent proclamation of the Conde de Montemolin, in which he spoke of maks and armies, an d of fields of battles, sad of enemies, and observe( I that if these terms meant anything they indicated that the Prince by °ken the proclamation had be en issued intended to render his native country agai n a scene of similar discord to that which had so long a. -ad so fatally pre 'said there. Bat he did hope, j from the' character and c on d uc t o f t h e prince :1.1 nee he had been in England, such a course would not b adopted wi t h his approbation ; and he trusted that thole Pius who advised him in this country won I d use ' eh* Wenn with this illustrious person, with the view of his* him to restrain his friends ft °et again ~."laothelosing Spain with such di 'raetating The noble lord, in arse wer to. aw ma LACY E VANS sa id it w a s a great a bum tV hospitality which this country afforded to all `fre e of that they should issue proclamatk laaof any kind tending to excite honk due ..a mega state in alliance with this count. 7• Am a coannation, at the instance of Lord G.

This exhibition proves the decorative arts to be in a state of activity and progression, far exceeding anything we, and we presume the public, could have imagined. " The Stafford bottle in thins " (No. 55), totally eclipses any of the treasured relics' of our most fortunate collectors of vertu; I and " A Bunch of Hops " (No. 104), intended to show the applicability of the marline for the production of the deepest under-eutting, in wood, hangs so lightly with every leaf and tendril separate, that ome would expect a puff of wind to send it waving . and rustling to and fro, as if still banging to the " stick.' The exhibition is highly interest ing throughout. The company last evening included the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Northampton, the Conde de Montemolis, Sir Henry I,llis, the Baron do Gold smid, and many other persons of distinction, both in the lite rary and In the sciautihe world. WILTSHIRE AND HAMPSHIRE—Within the mat fortnight the growing wheat crops have muck improved in appearaner. On the stiff cloyed's around Warminster, Trow bridge, Frame, Be., the plant appears healthy and strong thick enough upon the ground, though much later than last sprizzt the peeved of trod crop is at present very The loareontin frusta do not appear to have role any serious injury to the plant on well-managed and rich soils. On poor land, badly cultivated, the ease is dif ferent, as in many parts the shoots are thin, sickly, and weak, though even thaw have latterly very much altered fur the better. Barley sowing is progresaing rapidly, and also favourably, the land working admirably. From War minster t Wilton the wheats are also looking well, if we except a spot here and there where the land hoe been indif ferently managed, and but scantily manured. A greater breadth of wheat has been sown this year than last. Oats are coming up well. Barley-solving more than half finished. From Wilton to Salisbury and Devises, where the downs are broken up, wheats have a very promis ing and green appearance. From Devises to Marllxtraugh, the growing wheats look well. Oats just peeping out of the ground. Barley sowing in full operation; three-fourths already in the ground. From Marlborough to Andover the same cheering prospects present themselves. Wheats amazingly improved. Oats coming up well. Beans, peas, and spnng tares, gone in well, and barley sowing more than half finished. From Andover to Basingstoke, Odiham, Alresford, and Winchester, the growing wheats never looked more promising ; In some places the spring-sown crops are , just showing, and barley sowing going on rapidly ; in ano- ther ten days or a fortnight (weather permitting) nearly all will be in the ground, excepting where turnips may not all be eaten off. Potato planting is in most parts becoming gene rat, yet not half the usual qusatity can be planted this year. for want of seed. The lambing season on the Downs of Dents and Wilts is now over, and in some parts the breeders Nava had a large increase • in others, a very indifferent one. It is said that many bree ders have discontinued breeding, intending in future to keep only dry flocks. COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Self--past Two o'Clock.—Thc downward movement in the funds still continues, and with scarcely a reaction for the realisation of prufl!s, so confident do those who speculate for the fall appear to be that prises must still go lower. The more peculiar Foam of pressure, and the more positive in its effects upon Cinsols, has been the larpe quan tities of money stock brought forward for sale. It is reported Out the bank broker, among others, has been a seller, and in one parcel alone of 60,0001. at the low figure of 881. He is said to h ave sold also 15,000/. or 20,0001. on balance for the saving. banks, tbo remaining 10,0001. being taken to account of the reduction of the national debt. Under these circumstances, the market present. a gloomy, unsteady appearance. The opening business-prices of Consols were 884 to I, being i below the closing rates ofyesteriay. They descended shortly to 881 to 1, and are now 881 to 4. An impression gains ground that the mini mum Bank rate of discount will be raised at the next meeting of the board of directors, and the nouns of events seems to favour the opinion. The immense and still continuing arrivals of breadatuffs and provisions of all kinds from the United States, with the enormous charges of freight in addi tion, mast evidently require heavy remittances of gold to that country in payment, so long as the rates of exchange cur rent in New York remain as at the last dates, 1041 only, with the almost certainty of their going still lower. Ex chequer Bills are 1 die. to I poem. Consols Scrip, Ito discount. The decided fall In Consols has acted, as might be expected, in depressing all the more speculative and current foreign stock values. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. have declined to 581 to 91; the Fours to 921 to 31. Spanish Fives, to 221 to 1 ; the Threes, 34 to 1. Portuguese to 33 to 4. Mexican to 211 to 2. But these reduced quota tions are merely nominal, except for Dutch stocks, as no amount of business worth notice could be transacted in them without driving prices still lower.

SHIELDS, Mrrch W.—The Shamrock got cm the Herd Sand last night. Lord MAUNTwished to observe that in eonsequienen of the statement made by the noble and learned lord (Brougham) to the effect that the landlords of Ireland had furnished great numbers of paupers in Ireland with the means of going to Liverpool, in order to throw themselves on the par rates, he had written to several persona in that country competent to ascertain the truth upon the subject, all of whom had in formed him that aeither landlords nor inspectors had carried on such a system in any part of the country. Lord BROUGHAM would rejoice at th . at intelligence, if he could disbelieve the statements made to him ; but be could not. Mr. Rushton, of Liverpool, was his authority, and had even furnished him with the names of some of the paupers. lie had since Friday last received another com munication from Liverpool, stating that 70,000 Irish paupers were now spread over that town and Manchester. He hoped, therefore, as the present state of the law respecting their re moval was doubtful, that a declaratory act would be pained to facilitate that object. ARMY ENLISTMENT AND PENSIONS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked, pursuant to the notice he had given, the following questions —lst. Whether the bill now introduced into the House of Common, by her Majesty's government for limiting the time of service in the army has the sanction and approbation of the com mandtr-in-cbief, and if it has originated on his recommend ation to her Majesty's government, or if any opinions have been taken by anyiesixl of general officers or other military authorities on the measure ? 2nd. Whether it is the inten tion of her Majesty's ministers to advise her Majesty to is-us her royal warrant, as in October 1806, for fixing and raising the pensions of non commissioned officers and soldiers who become entitled to their discharge by reason of expiration of certain periods of service; viz.: the non-commissioned offi cers, Is. lOd. ; privates, Is.; thus returning to the standard thought advisable at that period when limited service was first introduced, instead of remaining at the diminished pen sions now established? Earl GREY said that, with regard to the first question, the noble marquis must have anticipated that he could take no other course than to decline giving any answer to it ; for, though in this ease he might give the required information without inconvenience, still, to recognise the principle, that confidential communications pining ►ctween her Majesty's advisers sad persons holding high station., such as that of eommander-in-chief, as to measures inten-o;ifti he introduc;ii into parliament, should be made the subject of questions in either house, to be answered sea natter of course, would occasion very great inconvenience and injury to the public service. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the second question, he could inform the noble marquis that no warrant, such as be alluded to, was in contemplation by the government. The Marquis of LONDONDERR It should then feel it his duty to move that copies of, or extracts from, all communica ' trona which had paved between her Majesty's government and the Horse Guards, or any board of general officers rela five to the Limited Se rvice Bill now under the consideration of parliament ; also a copy of the warrant of Eis late Me jesty Geo. 111., dated Oct. 18th, 1806, for fixing and reining the pensions of non-commissioned officers sod soldiers who become entitled to their discharge by reason of expiration of eertain periods of service, &c., be laid before the house. The government, in bringing forward a measure for limiting the period of service to the extent proposed, were, he conceived, bound to state by what military authority it was reeom , mended or acquiesced is. Thera was no general officer in the present cabinet. Neither the commander-in-thief nor the master-general of the ordnance was a member of the cabinet ; therefore, the fact of the bill being brought forward by the ruvernment did not prove that it had any military outhoney in its favour. On the contrary, he believed every military authority—theoretical or practical —concurred that the bill in question was a rash and danger ' mss experiment. All experience, too, was opposed to the plan. With regard to the measures for improving the internal arrangements of barracks, and improv ing the condition of the soldiers, he gave the govern ment the thanks they were entitled tn, but he must protest against a measure which was opposed to both theory and practice, and which he believed would seriously impair the efficiency of the service. Upon the subject of pensions, he thought the most beneficial change would he to restore the rate of pension as regarded non-commissioned officers and privates to what it formerly was. It was a miserable eco nomy which refesed to place the soldier of long and active service above want. Earl GREY said he should adopt the course suggested, but not followed, by the noble earl, of reserve lengthened observation until the subject-matter cameregularly before the house. He was willing to wait unt the bill to which the noble earl had alluded came before them in the re gular way of business, when he thought he should be able to prove that however deeply "killed the noble earl might be in matters relating to the army, he knew very little of the grounds on which the government measure was founded, or the general opinion of officers of the army respecting it. (Hear, hear.) He felt that it would be equally uselem to notice the noble earl's regret as to the absence of military officers in the cabinet. The government must submit to the censure of the noble earl; and as for his motion, he (Earl Grey) could not see that a single parliamentary reason had been given for its adoption by the house. The papers asked for were copies of, or extracts from, all communications which had passed between her Majesty's government and the Horse Guards, or any other board of general officers, respecting the Limited Enlistment Bill. Those papers most have passed during consultations preliminary to the preparation of the measure, and therefore he did not think it consistent with hi. duty to consent to their production. The Earl of CARDIGAN said he looked with greet terror and apprehension at the measure which government had thought proper to introduce for limiting the term of service in the army. The avowed objects of that measure were to render the &easy more popular, to facilitate recruiting, and to induce a higher class of men to enlist. In his opinion the most efficient way of obtaining those ends would be a liberal system of pensions, and the adoption of some means by which the duration of colonial service might be curtailed. What bonus did this bill hold out for the enlistment of men of a higher class I It said to the soldier : "we require your services for ten years, after which you may re-enlist for twelve years more in the reserve battalions, involving twelve days service in the year, and again for twelve years more on the same terms." This made a total of thirty-four years, and for this the " superior " man was to receive • pension of airpence a day. He believed that this was the allowance made to paupers, and therefore could hardly be held out as an inducement for the enlistment of a superior clam of men. (Haar, hear.) Another point to which he wished to allude was, the unlimited power given to soldiers of purchasing their discharge. He trusted that if the government measure became law, this privilege would be considerably curtailed. After a few words in reply from the Marquis of LONDON DERRY, the motion was, by leave, withdrawn, Lord COLVILLE postponed until this day his motion relative to the recent election of a representative Peer for Scotland. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter put seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNDAT, Meaca 29. The Sramtza took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSLNEBB.

Mr. HAW ES said that no othci.,l information on this sub ject hod yet been recc iced from the Legislative Council of New South Wales, but he had no hesitation in saying that, when received, there would be no objection to its being pre sented to parliament. PROTESTANT CHURCH AT ALEXANDRIA. An Hon. Memezu begged to put a question to the noble lord at the head of areign Affairs. He understood that the erection of the church at Alexandris was now et stand still for want of funds to complt to it. Was it intended by the government to take any vote of public mousy for thee ? purpose Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, remarked that the question was now under the considerati.n of the ga vernment whether or not there existed any grou .di for another advance. The load anbeeriptions formed a very small portion of the sum requisite to defray the expense ne cessary for the complt tion of the work. PUOlt REMOVAL ACT. _ . Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to put a question on the subject of the Poor Removal Act of last DeLS:OO. Doubts had been entertained as to the construction of that et...tete, and it had been referred to a select committee to inquire, with a view to the removal of then doubts. In the mean time, the local authorities in Westminster continued to give relief to non-resident poor, and in cons. queue*, the poor-law com missioners had written to them a levers censure, intimating the liability to indictment which the local sutheritim had, by their tonne of reseeding, incurred. lie wished to know whether the poor-law commissioners had the authority of the Hume-office for issuing the censure to which he alluded? Sir G. GREY said that cm direct sanction had either been a'ked by or given to the poor-law commissioners in ref. moos to the matter adverted to by the hon. and gallant member. The poor-law commissionen had o itMned the opinion of the law officers of the crown as to the legal evnetruc:itoi of the act of last amnion, mid had commumeated that upiot n to the different beer& of guardians throughout the eon .Lry, and be (ffir G. Gm> ) had no doubt that they had stet. d to them that they ought to be guided by the coustructien so put upon the set. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND). Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN had a qttection to put to the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary fur Ireland. Ile (Mr. O'Brien) had understood that the disnissal of labourers on pubite w.sks in Ireland was not to take place mita the measure fur their temporary relief should have passed, and been brought into operation. It appeared, however, that, in different parts of Ireland, labourers had been clisoissed from their employment in the construction of rout, and that to an extent beyond the amount stated, namely, 0 per cent. lie had received a letter front a Proestant clergyman, who was an active member of a relief committee, stating that dismissals had taken place, and that he feared en outbreak would be the moult. Ile (Mr. O'Brien) wished to kr.ow whether the goverument was prepared to announce any definite principle upon which the pubic works in Ir. land were to he stopped. It was certainly desirable that the lineurino should he distiihated to other employment than that of making roads, but to dismiss large masses, without presiding them with a substi tute for earning their meats of livelthood, was to consign them to starvation.__ _ . Mr. LABOUCLIERE could only repeat now that w hich he had stated on a former oeessen, namely, that the rule laid down by the government was, that it w ould he expedient and proper, in consequence or the best inqu ry inert tha matter, that on a certain day the number ref personsem ployed on public works should be reduced by 20 per cent- Bui in laying down this rule, it was applied in this mealier. The government reqaired that then should be a re duction of 20 per cent. en the aggn-teat g nu.r.ber of persons tenploted throughout Inland leavie,r it however to the discretion of the Board of ' Works as to whether in some districts that precise number should be struck off, or whether in other 'lntel Al the rale shon:el or should not be at all carried into effect. The Boarl or Works in the exercise of its discretion had not strictly and invariably applied the rule in en. ry district, and Captain Crlitieti the inspecting officer for the counteof Cl ere, writing on the 20th instant, stated that in some districts a less number wan em ployeel than in others, that the reduction had been made with regard to the population of the districts, and that 20 per cent. had been the reduction in the who le. Ile (Mr. lAbouchere) had the satisfaction to he able to state that the change in the system had been carried into sßiel in ti very satisfactory manner, and that only in ore or two places bed there - been the slightest Ippearance of soy &verb:it it ; on the whole the reduction would operate bent ficially to the country at large, end in the promcttun of the cultivation the soil. With respect to the statement as to the r udileu dismissal of labourers before the new act was brought into full operation by the local committee., he ()Ir. Laboueltere) would refer to a letter addressed by Colonel JOlllll to Mr. Trevelyan, stating that ample time had been afforded for getting other employment, mid that the electoral division committees bad wanted every ineena to supply them with food. In short, the change had been earrieal out with every consideration for the wants of the peoele ; and it had liana effected with as little stiff:ring reembarrassment as could possibly have been expected. regard to the comple tion of the works which had been c minceced, there were now resentments made from the ,eniona, scut ov.r for the sanction of the Treasury for that very purpose. Sir A. BROOKE urged upon the government the expe diency of making some. arrangement by which, in the months of May, Jane, and Jule, a period when it was not possible for the landlords to fir.cl employment for the popu lation, the unemployed might again return to labour on public works. Ile de/iled also tee be informed whether it was intended to establish soup kitchens in every electoral divi sion throughout Ireland. If so, he would trumpet that in remote districts it would be impossible either to get places for them, or individuals to be entrusted with the supervision. In such localities he recommended the distributinii of meal and rice, in quantities to be ngufated by the Lumber com prising the families requiring relief. Ho had himself done this, and as be was about to proceed to Ireland, he wished to know whether the government would act upon his is coin mendstion. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the bon. baronet had put to him two questions. In reply to she first, he could stye that it was the intention of the gown:l:rent, as soon as the plea of supplying the destitute with feud was brought into eje ra tion, to reduce the number of persons employed on public work" as speedily as possible. With regard to the second question, it wss most desirable that the relit f afforded should not be confined to the distribution of soup. 'I his question, however, was put into the hands of the relief comrah philters, who, no doubt would be happy to receive any mtge. shoos from the hon. baronet, who tad done so much Lit his own district. (Hear, bear.) INSURRECTION IN CATALONIA. Mr. BORTHWICH rose pc.rivant to his notice to call the attention of the noble lord, the Secretary fur Fereign Affairs, to a proclamation issued in Cata'onia by General Breton, on the 4th of March. The proclamation stated that" the t xer tions and fatigues of the brave trete.r will be incompetent to the extermination of the hordes of Vandals wto have raised anew their banner of blood with a view to repreduce the dims. ten of the last war, so lone as these hordes shall find in the country that shelter anti protee•ion whfeh can *lone save them front the pursuit of our indefatigable columns." The preclansation stated that the herds.* were Fob ru d by the people, and it was a question well worthy the serious consideration of the nob:e lord or posits (Lord Palmerston), whether he would not be able Is draw a line of di s tinction between the "hordes raising a bloody haulier " and those who were the honest and pesceable inhabitants of the country. He (M-. Bortlewiek) asserted, that at the time this proclamation had been issued, not a musket had been fired—a band had not been formed—no act of insure 'etiou had been committed by tiny ci• is of men touts r any banner, bloody or otherwise, aphid in the name of the Count de Mentemolin. The proclamation, however, ordained the punishment of death " open every person who shall be taken, with or without arms, et' notompanying any rebel bands—upon all spies—upon every iudis 'dual carrying letters or despatches for the rebels—upon all who, after basing served with the rebels, shall have taken refuge in the towns or country houses—sad Item every person who shall receive or coneecl in his Sousa any cf the wounded, or fugitives, ol the retch forces." The I Ith clause of the proclamation provided that the alealdee and judgespf the towns shall continually keep some person on the look-out en the steeple, or other elevated p wition, and the watch, so mem as he may observe any suspicious assemblage, shall give no tice to the authorities. Surprise beteg thus rendered im possible, the plea ol it will not be accepted as an excuse fur the aleal des or judges, who se ill be r objected to the strictest respon sibility, involving penalties that only, under certain cicala stunts, include that of death " Thy pre taamation %castoff to state that " if any adultshall !elle hit:house tojoin the tiara ()false rebels, the alealde must Eire immediate mformaf the commandant.gencral lit the province, who sh a ll, or d er that the father and mother, guardrails or relative, (in CMS they should have influenced the adult to the col:minion of this crime by their advice or ethers ice) be forthwith ar rested and planed at the disposal of the Council of War. This tribunal shall try them, and inflict even the penalty of death if they be found to have deserved it." Ile (Mr. Borthwiek) knew very well that he might be anion red that on proof the Council of War would act, but he mu-t remind the noble lord that by such a tribunal the mother of Cabrera ab, had o t be en t herveollicooth—wabra bec au se li f rygoosh,sm;st‘l::::::.h:t:dnittri shvaebte:::::::,,,,lyre,:itn.oporwows.:::.teakteptahr:ph:hr.eirieithera7btaal. thinttisttecodMutrinstrv:,Uanwndhh,:thPPehirelidferel, n t o le in tr ge:ver n n i :m: i en net had t s o u f , t h h bee i m sLoun t ij imi t:: : could not Jo more than r but he thought the noble lord opposite (Lord Palmerston) might use au important influence to prevent a reenrrenee • the dreadful barbar:ties of the last war.
