LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY, Four o'Cloek. Our foreign express arrived this morning. The questions of electoral reform and subsistence ; continued to occupy the Paris press on Thursday, . without, however, excluding rather extensive notices of the distress in Ireland. The representative Chamber in France is returned • *A present by 240,000 electors taken from 35,000,000 of people, and determined by the test of paying 81. a • year direct taxes. It is complained that this con - Cy i epreposterously small ; that the test is unsuitable, omitting large classes who are most j eliglaile as electors, and including many who could scarcely be embraced by any rational mode of sem - tion. The project now before the Chambers is to reduce the qualification of the elector to half its present amount, and to admit certain professional classes to vote without any pecuniary qualification. The enormous corruption produced by the ex tensive official patronage of government in a con stituency so limited forms another ground of com plaint. The reading of the project has been sanc tioned by the Bureaux, and the debate upon it is fixed for the 22nd. This is a step similar to the first read ing of a bill in the House of Commons ; it gives the sanction of the Chamber to the principle of the project. Besides providing means to facilitate the arrival of grain, and encourage its importation, which was mentioned in our former correspondence, most active measures have been adopted by government to afford the people employment on public, works. It happens fortunately that many of these, such as railways and , ordinary leads, had been already decided upon and ' surveyed, and would sooner or later have had to be constructed. Employment is thus provided to a great extent without ultimate loss to the country. The leading . organ of the government, the Journal des DEbals, seizes the occasion offered by the present emergencies to urge the necessity of a speedy relaxa tion of the prohibitive system, by showing how din-' estrous its effi eta are in crises like the present. It is possible that by such arguments some relaxation may be made in the protective laws which effect the importation of food generally, bat until, by a large measure of parliamentary reform the Chamber shall be purged of the swarm of monopolists which at present fills it, no hopes of any serious *advancement in commercial policy can be entertained. The railway from Amiens to Abbeville will be opened on Monday. Le Courrier Francais says that the Tunis question is likely to become complicated. M. Ambrois an attaché of the French Consulate at Tripoli is ex pected daily In Paris charged with despatches for the government relative to the difference between the Bey of Tunis and the Porte. Letters from Ancona say that the autograph letter of King Otho to the Sultan, and that of M. Coletti were despatched to Constantinople the day be fore and not the day after the departure of the Turkish ambassador as was formerly stated, from which it was inferred that the Greek government desired to get rid of M. Museums, butt() maintain terms of amity with the Ottoman Porte. Public opinion in Athens was much excited against M. Museums, and it re quired great firmness in the government to restrain the populace. It was said that M. Museums shed tears on quitting, perhaps for ever, the soil of Greece. M. Piscatory. French ambassador, and M. Werther, Prussian ambassador, give their countenance to the Greek government in this affair. A letter on the same subject, dated Constantinople 18th, says, that the letter of King Otho to the Sultan is written in the most conciliatory terms, but com plains strongly of the conduct of M. Museums. His Majesty adds that in what had occurred he had no intention to offend the Sultan or the Divan. It was uncertain what course the Divan would take, but the corps diplomatique were using all their efforts to pro-. duos a friendly solution of the affair, and the Greek minister at Constantinople had received no instruc tions from his government to withdraw. A speedy termination of the affair was, therefore, saafidentlY looked for. • 1. Ii 'b 0 ft, 1144111 13-71044 per 04214., 77 76. Ply.

It was said that the Minister of Finance intended to introduce the greatest publicity into all the opera tions of his department. A monthly report of receipts and expenses of the treasury will be published in the Gazette, and a project of law will be proposed to the Cates determining the manner and form of reducing the budget. M. Bravo Murillo, in the senate, on the 6th, declared that: the orts of the ("what move• ments were exaggerate notwithstanding the ac cordance of the reports from the provinces. The affair of the French ship on the Bidassoa had been pacifically arranged. General Breton published a proclamation, threatening with immediate execution all persons who may be taken, whether with or without arms, accom l*nying the rebel bands, all spies, and all bearers of correspondence. 11.11. e.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 12.—With the exception of a few thousand quarters of Indian Corn, and about 2,000 barrels of Flour from the States, our fresh 'rivals are generally rather limited since Monday; but as, after extreme eAd of late and snow yesterday, the weather is mild, with a change of wind, there is a probability of somewhat better supplies next week. We have bad, on the whole, little busineu puling in the trade the last two days, and though the principal holders have been firm, the value of Flour has again some what receded, the pressure of a few pleads being more than equal to the demand. In other articles little or no variation has been apparent. Notwithstanding advice. received this morning from America report much excitement and advancing pries' there, in consequence of the last aocountsfrom England, our market to-day exhibited no lively symptoms in any article of the Coen trade ; and, though eame parcels of Wheat were taken for Ireland at our lest quotations, the millers bought sparingly ; and for most de- seriptions of this grain business closed dull, with a slight tendency to decline.

A difference of Is. to 4s. in favour of buyers ia made for deliveries in May and Jam. Our expectancies for March, and probably for April, are not considerable; they will, perhaps, not exceed 25,000 to 30,000 qrs., including some cargoes of Salonica Indian Cora, ~ which arti cle continues scarce.

NOTICE olmonom.—Omoes AND BIZMIN•11/1!e RAILWAY Plee;;;1 1 1.;td oVic•day -- sec - Ike be referred to the comideration of o eclat committee RAILWAY CO UPETITION.. The Earl of RIPON, in presenting a petition from the Oxford and Birmingham Railway Company, complaining of certain proceedings on the part of the North Western Com pany, stated that the object of these proceedings was de scribed by the petitioners to he for the purpose of frustrating !e regulation of last session, with reference to compttiog lines to Birm*harn. Lord LYNDHURST, in supporting the petition, stated that the matter was simply this The North Western Com pany, after having fruitlessly endeavoured, at enormouscost, to prevent the Oxford and Birmingham Company from ob taining their bill, next sought, when the act was passed, to outbid the Great Western Company for the pur shale of the line, in the expectatiost of thus de hating the object which parliament had in sanction lag the line, that, namely, of having two competing and rival railways to Birmingham. Failing in this object, the Oxford and Birmingham taking the lower offer of the Great `Western Company, the North Western Company's next gratmeiiing was to buy up the shares of the Oxford and Bir- V.ani, and they were so successful in this, that out of sherre they got together 38,000, paying a premium of I per share on 201. shares. These shares were purchased in Illsesee of 3000 or 4000, but as, after 10 votes for 10 shares, only I vote was given for each 5, the next step was to dis tribute these 38,000 shares in tens among the friends and dependents of the company, so so to create the largest possi ble number of votes. These, and subsequent proceedings of the North Western Company, if permitted to pass, would amount to a practical stultification and annihilation of the legislation which parliament hail thought fit, for a great pub lic purpose, to create. The noble a.d learned lord, there fore, thought that the whole matter should be inquired into, and he moved that a select committee should be appointed at that purpeee. — Lteditiii4sFieiHAM lad sevral other saris Leda ad j..** delay el is day or Pre, Air farther eonaldeeetian ef Aumatter, before a committee slseald be appointed.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE suggested that the mat ter might very properly be referred to the Railway Board. The further discussion of the subject was then postponed till Tuesday next, on which day Lord Lyndhurst gave notice ►e should move that the petition be referred to a Select Committee. re% N0.167.] LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MA RCH 13, 1847.

Lord BROUGHAM presetted a petition from Bradford, complaining of distress, which the Petitioners stated to be greatly aggravated by the constant influx of Irish paupers, who were sent over here to be aupported by the English ; the Irish landlords and proprietors, meantime, contributing nothing for their support, and being, at the same time, ezesapt from many of the taxes which pressed grievously on Waud, sash so the assessed taxes, the income-tax, Ike. tranineission of Irish paupers to England, the noble and barna lard observed, was proceeding s. atematically, and ea a Nab of eamstantly increasing magnitude. Hun dreds and kusidrola were coming over daily : more than hasdredii, is bet, for only the other day, and in one day, lbws landed at Liverpool ao fewer than 3,100 of these watched creatures. When an inquiry was made es to the mass they pasamsed of coming over at all, it turned out, from their own statement, that each pauper had been sup plied by the landlords of Ireland with 2.e. 6d. to enable him to invade England. (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Brougham) kad suggested that the authorities of the towns thus inun dated had better give each pauper h. 6d. a piece I. enable him to go back again (A laugh.) The Earl of DEVON said there was one statement made by the noble and learned lord, which, he would venture to say, ought not to be made without good and substantial foun dation. The noble and learned lord had stated it as a fact that hundreds of poor persons were sent over to this country by the Irish landlord., receiving from them half.a-ernwn a piece to enable them to come. (" Hear, hear," from Lord Brougham.) He (the Earl of Devon) did not believe there was a word of troth in that statement. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM—My lords, I firmly believe it. I eorapletely, and entirely, and conasientiously believe it ; and, my lords— The Earl of DEVON—Does the noble lord rise to reply or to explain? Lord BROUGHAM (with great vehemence)—Whichever I please. (Sensetion.) The Earl of DEVON—According to the orders of this house, the noble lord has a right to explain, but he has no light to speak in reply. If he persists, I shall take the sense of the house upon it. Lord BROUGHAM—And iso shall I. Ido penile., and I shall take the sense of the house upon it. The Earl of DEVON (advancing to the ministerial side of the table) —My lords, I stand upon your orders! (Con fusion.) I rise to order! (Cries of "Order.") My lords, Iyw kto order! (Renewed uproar.) Lord BROUGHAM (at the opposition side, and with prod vehemence)-1 am speaking to order too. I have a right to be heard. (Much confusion.) The Earl of DEVON (amid the noise)—l shall take the sense of the house. _ Lord BROUGHAM—Very well; take the sense of the house—take the sense of the house. _ . The Earfoiiiiiiiiiiji".l;u. I am now speaking to Lord BROUGHAM—And I am speaking to order, too. [Here there were very loud cries of " Order, order," from ad parts of the assembly, and the Earl of Devon retired to his place.] Have I not a right to interrupt a person who is speaking to order, in order that I may speak to order myself ? Have I not a right, having moved that this petition do lie upon your table—have I not a right to reply to any one who has chosen to discuss that motion ? Or, even if you di ny;me that, will the noble and learned —no, not learned—will the noble lord tell me that I shall not be within the limits of the strictest rules of your house in now moving that that petition be referred to a select committee ? When he says that I have no right to speak excepting in explanation, be leaves me at least a right to explain, and how does he know that I am not going to explain ? When he riles in his plate, and tells you he does not believe a word that I hare said I have a right to say, and Ido say, that what I Mee said is true I repeat its I re-assert it! I tell the noble lord it is true, and not false, as he declares it ! I tell him that I believe every word of it : that I have perfectly good foundation for it that I have a right to believe every Hord of it, and that I de be lieve it, do re-assert It, and do re-state it ! (These expressions were uttered with great vehemence, and amid the profound ' silence of the house.) A more offensive mode of expressing disbelief I never heard in either house of parliament! He says there isnot a word of truth in vilest I say: I tell him that ray belief is that every tittle of it is strictly, correctly, and literally true. I never stated that every one of these 3,100 paupers came over here with half-a-crown in his pocket, given him by the landlords. Understating my ease, as I always do, I limited, restrained, and restricted my Illation ton err. of the nern'tts ; nit I 1 appecl to Toe Ice ships' recollection as to what I said. My information came from persons in Liverpool who have examined these emi grants—who have satisfied themselves by their examination of the truth of their statement; and that statement I shall give the noble lord, who is a member of the Criminal Low Committee, an opportunity of silting for himself, for I am about to call berme that committee two or three of my prin cipal informants—most respectable persons in the town of Liverpool—who will be examined upon oath, and who will confirm every word I utter. The Earl of DESART. My lords, I do not rise so mush to refer to those statements as to ask the noble and learned lord to state to as with what objeet he persists in asking these increase and repeated attacks ? Are they made npon us as a body, or are they directed at in dividuals? For what purpose does he night alter night irritate as by these stings—and oblige us to weary your lord ships with our replies, using, as we are forced to do, the uninteresting weapons of defence against his unexampled powers of sarcasm and attack ? If, my lords, these assaults are mere wantrinees, I beg the noble lord to chore a mere firing subject; if they are made on substantial foundation sad with good object, I beg him to give as fair notice of his intentions, es order that from time to time we may prepare . ourselves for defence ,• but if they are made without founda tion, or front mere spleen, then I Iscg the noble and learned lord to reflect that, great and varied as are his ahilities, even his @mesons cannot internee your lordships when so often repeated, and that ultimately they will sink into contempt before the power and influence of truth. (Very much sheerine.) Lard BROUGHAM—A i rIine lis }at to me, I sup pose that I am allowed by of your lord ships' house, interpreted thoug h Wye Wh . i be the noble earl opposite, to rise in my Ors for thereupon of reply. I am asked why I make these armee. Atimittiag them, for the sake of the arcument, to be attaolubl e = that I wake them for one obi ect, and one elect only , mss to awaken the Irish landlords and the Irlis potpie at Lute to the absolute necessity of providing he gheongamet of thew owe poor, and not of looking to litagleet bribe swolet of the Irish people. And, upon the orsamptiss that lin his object, I have a second, I wish to keeper upon year lordships, and upon the government, gad the public, the necessity of absta;nutg from the wild and visionary attempt, for wild and visionary it is, of attempting to sapport the en tire population of Ireland. The Earl of CLARE said, then was one allegation in the petition the noble and learned lei bad presented from Ursdford to which It. desired to call attowlon It was mid. that " the property of Ireland was allowed to escape from the payment of poor rates" Now it was roily that morning that he had reed, in a Limerick paper, a report of a meeting of the guardians of the Limerick Union, at which they had I discerned the necessity of imposing a rate of ale in the pound, and had only postponed making the rate for one week in the hope that B. large an assessment might not be necessary. Lord BROUGHAM said he had 'ter. r given the allege tion as a statement of-his own. _ The Ma ail ,;(I.ZiiisovrNE here rose. He said, My lords, I am desirous of raying one word upon this sub ject, in order that I may not be understood by my silence to erprow acquiescence in the supposition, ssggeated by the noble and learned lord, that her Majesty's government ever contemplated an absurdity so monitions or so mischievous as to undertake the ,ostentation of the population of Ireland independently of assistance from Irish property. My lords, the government at no time ever entertained such an inten tion ; and I wOl say for the Irish nobles, and the Irish gentry, that at no time did they ever ask the government to undertake each an office. (Hear, hew ) 'What we have done is. in an emergency unparalleled, Feeinir the poorer classes of this kingdom--( for England and Ireland are but one kingdom)—labouring under the pressure of • calamity from which it was impossible they should extricate themselves,— we lave net thought it unbecoming, either to the moral cha racter or the political position of the richer and happier part of the empire, to exert itself for the relief of the distressed portions, with a view to carry them through the emergency. (Hear, hear.) More than that. my lords, we have not Oh teroptal,—more than that we shall not attempt. We have done what may be in some respects injudicious ; we hsve certainly done what, in some respects, hu been productive of consequences which could not have been expected ;—under the extraordinary increase of the calamity, we have done that which under other circumstances might have been dangerous, —but dangerous or injudicious as may have been wine of our measures, we h ice, my lords, the satisfaction of thinking that our interference has been the saving of multitudes of human lives. (Lou! ems of "Hear, bear.") My lords, I can prove to your lordships, whenever you shall think it right to go into the consideration of this subj. et at large, that bed it not been fur our interference during this until oda nsity—at a time when the angel of i.eath may be said to have spread his dark wings fir and wide over the length and breadth of the land—that instead of thousands a day falling victims to the calamity-, we should have had to mourn the fate of hundreds of thousands of our lellow creatures. I cannot, therefore, for my awn part, repent any share I may have had as one of her htsjesty's advisers in endeavouring not to extinguish—not to put a stop to the calamity (fdr that alone depends on the councils of the Almighty)—but to mitigate the intensity, to lessen the weight and pressure of such an evil as I pray God Ile world may never witness again, and as I am sure the world never a Unused before. But, my lords, in making this effort we have endeavoured to act note princi pals but as auxiliaries,—requiring. in every case in which we assisted, that local exertions should be made at least equal to the extent of our contributions. I will not say that in all eases and at all times have those local exertions borne a corresponding proportion to the necessity, but I am bound to my that in a great many instances they have ; and it is only right that I should Ad iurther, that at no period has that part of the United Kin:Adorn been more awakened than it is at present to a sense of the duty which it owes itself. (Hear, hear, from the Irish peers.) I believe, my lords, that there is an awaking exertion in that country only allayed at this time by the severity of the premise' with which it has to con tend; and I do not believe that in the mortal it is sslakih the Irish people are now engaged, a British p n ie meat will censure a government which has ariven to uphold them in a contest, the issue of which, as it affects millions, is still in the hands of Gud. (Loud cheers.) I need, my lord* scarcely add to this, that whilst endeavouring to provide for j the present, we have not overlooked the neces sity of providing for the future. We are now engaged in framing that amended poor-law to which I shall soon be under the necessity of calling the noble and learned lord's attention, and with respect to which I beg him to under stand that, in imposing the burden" which this calamity necessitates, we do not overlook the necessity of devolving upon Ireland her full and proper share. (Ilea", hear.) I have thought, my lords, that I owed it to myself—l have thought that I owed it to the government with which I am associated—to make these few remarks : I owe it likewise to the liberality of a large majority of the other house of parliament, and above all to the munificence of the public without the walls of the senate, who have so generously and nobly responded to every appeal that has been made to them with • view to mitigate the pressure and severity of this misfortune. (The noble lord sat down I I maid mach cheering.) CROWN JEWELS. The Viscount STRANOFORD said the courtesy of the noble marquis opposite permitted him to put a question relative to a matter in dispute between this court and the Court of Hanover. He alluded to the discussion which had arisen respecting the right to certain crown jewel,. Looking at it, however, ae he did, as a public matter, he ventured to ask her Majesty's government what was the state of the question at present, and it there would be any objection to the production of the communications on the subject which might have tateu place since the lamented death of King William IV. between the governments of Ib,gland and of Hanover? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that be certainly should not object to answer the question as to the present state of this matter, but he must decidedly object to the pro duction of any papists on the subject. At the time of the lamented deceue of William IV., a question arose with respect to the :right in the property of a considerable amount of jewels which formerly belonged to the House of Hanover, afterwards to King George 111., sod then to Queen Charlotte. After a time the parties adopted a course, alike honourable to theme lees and becoming the situation in which they were placed. They determined, instead of having recourse to a court of justice, to rque st three of the meat eminent lawyers of the land to become arbitrators, binding themselviss, not by law but iu honour, to abide by their decision. Those three lawyers did for some time in mtigate the. Luz, and in the aaiumot of lilt tLvy 1.,111,1 to a decision as to the nature or the report which they should make. They decided upon the substance of such report, hut at the very moment that report was about to be put into shape, the arbitrators being Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Lang. dale, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Lord Chief Justice Tindal died. This put a stop to the proceedings. It was subsequently proposed on tho part of the King of Hanover that the two surviving arbitrators should choose a third ; but an objection, and a very sound objection, was raised to this — that the arrangement would involve the reconsideration of the whole case. It was then propoee.i by her Majestj's go vernment on the pert of her Majesty, that it being notorious that the three commissiouers were unanimous in their opinion with respect to the jewels appertaining to her Ma jesty Queen Charlotte, and two of the comntiadoners being able to state decisively what was the opinion of the third— that that decision should be acted on and adopted as the de cision of the arbitrators generally, there being, in such case, j a fresh inquiry with respect to the remaining ewels. That proposition was not agreeable to the King of Hanover. Now, a decision hosing been pronounced with re spect to the first class of jewels, with regard to the other clue, a fresh communication should be made, in order to put the matter in a train for inquiry; be referred to the minor portion of the jewels, which had belonged to the house of Hanover, and were bequeathed to the house of Hanover by King George the Second. He would again remind their lordships that this was a question with which psrt:sment and the public had no concern. Ile had thought it right not to withhold information when questioned upon the subject; but basing stated the facts exactly as they then stood, he certainly con sidered that the more proper course would be to 'hate in trona anything like interference, and he hoped their lordships would agree with him, that the matter should be left to that just and equitable decision to which both the illustrious per sons interested were dispneed to defer. (liar.) Lord BROUGHAM could not help saying, in fairness to one of the illustrious parties, that he did not think that party was ' called upon to take the judgment of the commissioners as if it were an sward ; for until the arbitration was concluded, it was impossible to tell what would be the decision on the second point. He thought the best course would be to ap point a third person, who should form his opinion from the statements of the two other commissioners. . . The Marqui. of LANSDOWNE had not intended to con vey that the King of Hanover woald be bound by the de cision. A proposition had been made to him, which it was perfectly open to him, consistently with honour, to accept or reject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the noble viocount (Viscount Strangford) had referred to the saying, "Posses sion is nine points of the law," as though that were con oiderrd applicable to the present case. If it were meant by that allusion to imply that any improper use would be made of due fact of possession in the case under consideraton, he could not admit the j uatice of such a representation. Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes to seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--FmoAY,MARCH 12. The Bragaaa took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINEMS.

Mr. BAILLIE wished to know whether government meant to take say steps to prohibit the exportation of corn ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that government were of opinion that a prohibition on our part to export corn would be a mode of preveating corn being brought into thin country. CAPTAIN WARNER'S LONG RANGE. Sir R. PEEL wished to ask a question with respect to a short report which had been made by the offices, who had been wisembelswed by the government to test the value of the ineneffilleal se a Mr. Warner.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO FREE EMIGRANTS. Mr. VESEY observed that many persons in Ireland were making preparations to emigrate at their own expense. In one district he knew of 400 families who were przparing to emigrate to America.
