PRIVATE BILLS. Lord BROUGHAM intimated his intention to introdene a bill founded on certain resolutions of last session, with respect to the form of private bills. After a few words from Lord DaNn An and Lord CAM , SILL, which were scarcely audible in the gallery, the sulgeet *VT.& STATE OF THE CORN MARKET. The Earl of HARDWICKE row to put the e krises al which he had giren notice ycoterday, on the =We of the quantity of corn to the comatu, and the maw of 11/1,1/. He believed there was eel adocat corn in the esemby Iffe the demand. It appeared fres returns made in eimaegneene of the efforts of a private Wirth& to ascertain the gem*, of corn in the country, thth k was very deficient. Takki it for mated that them wee ears enough at the amid the last harvest Ire the Pinky oldie following year, es tow third, of that pied ealy remaining, there ought to be err third 'umiak*, wirier it that in England sad Scotland no man t a: remaining, and only ou county had one- with* fa. Wales the deficient:" was still more serious. wat therearre strongly impremed with the idea that there was met kid enough to last till the 1 meat harvest; and woks there was a quantity of foreign 1 layers he wailed he certain questions to the noble lard; opposite, in order% know what prospect there was of ob taining sayigdies from atineed. He believed there was little probability of say corn being received from Poland, the Baltic, or the Mediterranean, and our only hope therein* remained in America, and he believed there was a very emell quantity of earn to come from there. This prospect was die anal and alarming, and he wished to put the country on their guard, so that by economy the quantity of food might be eked out ; and he would suggest that brown bread, contain ing all the particles of the grain, might be consumed, and that all starch should cease to be us ed . He further hoped that the Leaded gravy would take Dare in their own counties that by some means or other the remaining supply of cent should not leave them. Lord CAMPBELL was understood to say, that the noble lord wished to encourage the meal mobs perhaps land. The Earl of HARDWICKE hoped such • theohnetion could not be put on anything he had said. He would sit down by merely asking the noble marquis if he was aware that there was a deficiency of food, and if so, whether these was a prospect of its being supplied by foreign countries ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was a most painful awl peruses ealper, and he should carefully abstain from bememlistMegralag klhe am opinion which could have the Abet ef wislegedleg the public. Every individual had the eame mem width the government had of ascertaining the procath reek of Mee in the country, and he should therefore make se sereemat ea that subplot ; but at the aame time he did not et ail subscribe to the ralemeat of the noble earl, that at the aid of the boner eller yogi there was a twelve. .thisethe egg* of kid in the ramstry. But he could tell lie noble w ee kr his satisfaction, that a very large quantity af beast imported thin year, and it was still on the kaiser my ti th e peening moment. (Hear, hear.) In January Are bed less 661,000 quarters imported; in February 57,000 ; k March 929,000 ; and in April 1,043,000 quarten thereby that in proportion to the amount of the elimsend, the y to a extent kept pace ; and if it iedied4 was as greet kr er of the year as it had been &ring the loth km maths, the quantity imported during She year would la 1.09,000 quarters. From the moment it was known that So prime bed risen to a great height is this country, an unotedig sad ketnealng action bad been kept sap, and thermal if thet nation was, that while other coun tries were enhatamedelg labouring under the same affliction, for in argaand oountries in Europe there existed a daily lieetefes dilated, the deficiency became daily more apparent. Under these circumstances, the whole of the exports from the United States to the whole world, amounted to 2,170,000 quarters, and of that amount not more than 500,000 quarters had found their way to all the rest of the world, leaving this country in the • n and enjoyment of four times the amount of that which had been exported to all the rest of the world. Three were the only facts which it was in his power to state, and be thought it his duty to give them to the house. He entirely agreed with the noble earl that the state of the markets was such se to make it the imperative duty of all persons, as far as they bad interest, power, and authority, to maintain in their families, as a matter of feeling as well as eamoniy, the strictest regulations as to the consumption of hod. Lord ASHBURTON said that the prospects tithe year to come were anything but satisfactory to him. They may as yet moire from America Indian corn and Indian meal these being Lae erops, but of wheat, which wan an earlycrop, they had received nearly as large an amount as he could venture to expect. He doubted the ability of the American market to afford them a sufficient supply. He feared that the anticipations of his noble friend as to further applies would not be realised. The result of the researches which he had made in his own neighbourhood was the same as that to which the noble earl (Hardwieke) arrived as to the Insufficiency of cora in this country. He thought it the duty of the government to pay the utmost attention to this subject. Lord BROUGHAM said that this was a subject of the greatest importimes, and nothing could be worse for the pub lic than to unseal the fact of a scarcity from them, and no thing could be more wholesome for the public, and nothing could tend mare to uuent dearth from hemming a famine, than by giving maßelent notice of it. He agreed with the noble manias in thinking that, not only as a matter of feel ing, bet as • matter of imperative duty, as well as economy, the upper and middle clones ought to impose the strictest and most rigid economy with regard to the consumption of the staff of life in their families. With newt to the Inferior classes there was no necessity for that, because the rise of prices teaded to furnish them with a etimulus to economy. Be deprecated the idea of in any way interfering with the export trade. If they hindered corn from being exported, it would not be imported to such a degree. Within the last five week, there were no lees than 4,000,000 qrs. of grain imported into this country, about one-filth part of the amount annually consumed. (Hear, hear.) He consi dered that as that had been the consequence of the existing export trade, the government should consider' along time before they interfered with it. CHAPLAIN OF BELORAVE CHAPEL. Lord MONTEAGLE, on presenting a petition from the Rey. Dr. Thorpe, the miaister of the proprietary chapel at Belgraveopere, said, that it appeared from the petition, that in the year 1846, Sr motives of health, that rev. gentle. man wee Mimed to wish to Lave this country for the colt. are. Th e petition further stated, that being desirous of ap pointing ma amistantmtrata to this chapel during his ebeesee, although he did not conceive himself bound either hi law or map to make any notification to the diocesan, of the aeons et the gentleman whom he was desirous of &p -ea, out of respect for the right rev. prelate (the i: t 14 ado n ), he fat it necessary to communicate with him en tbe matter. To that commun ication he obtained an ithistreir, width was set forth in the petition, and to that aims be wished to call their lordships' attention. It was dated the MU of July, 1846, and was to the following abet: "If Mr. who I suppose is AM Irish clergyman, boo Irma &mesa to ' atheists in any English diocese , I shall be ready to admit him into mine; but, if not, I shall be Inds the et &alining to do so." That letter, un oalkkeil sad takma by knelt, asseceated to a declaration on ' Impart of the dike rev. probe* tram declaration was so- I dad es Or Ulmer super eatattuathet, that if any curate peepeasil le be apelthed to ant y entire_ pariah was an lAA and - fed net been aim& ad to discharge rk= in mg other diocese, the limas= would refuse to wield him.

But the regulation alluded to wee not a new one ; it had been acted on, without objection by the public, for the last 23 years. When be was Bishop of Chester, be had found it his duty to discourage the great bilks of young Irish clergymen into this country on two pounds : first, he did nut think it right that young met who bed been edu cated and ertisined for the earths of the omen in Ireland should take the opportunity of this church under its difficulties, and coming over he Bet so far from being guilty a any damped tower* the Irish church in adopting this terantiew. be emidered that he had shown his damn resod be it.

Dr. Thorpe, by his previous conduct toward; his diocesan, had(Hear, not rendered it a matter of obligation with him (the bishop) to show him any particular courtesy. lie had answered the petitioner's application in the letter which had been read ; but he had also given tie curate leave to officiate in Dr. Thorpe's chapel without being licensed. Dr. Thorpe, in another letter, declined to accede to this pro posal. Afterwards, he (the bishop) had seen the clergyman alluded to, and had offered to license him without further difficulty ; but, from some cause or other, the offer woo not accepted. Both before sad since that time, be had licensed Irish curator; though the regulation continued, and would continue, as a general regulation on the grounds which he had stated to their lordships. But nothing could be farther from his intention than to cut the slightest disrespect on the ' Irish branch of the church. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CLANCARTY thanked the right rev. prelate for the testimony he had borne te the eharacter of ' the Irish clergy, whose evince were beyond all praise. He did not think the right rev. prelate had made out his case ; for he had drawn a distinction which was wholly usurer ranted by the act of union.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL. Lord CAMPBELL said that, on Friday next, he would move the committal of this bill, in order that it might go through committee, pro formd. LANDED PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. On the bringing up of the report on this bill, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated the effect of some amendments which the government now proposed to intro duce. Re agreed to the suggestion for erecting griod-raille, and also as to the erection of stores in aid of drainage works, and for the improvement of agriculture generally ; but the proposition which had been made as to farm-houses, he could not consent to admit Lord MONTEAGLE inquired whether his noble friend was prepared to adopt the suggestion of • noble duke not now in his place, u to the insurance against fire of the mills intended to be erected ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be intended to insert words to make it compulsory to insure the mills. With respect to the amendments pointed out by the noble duke at the table (the Duke of Wallington), to compel the payment of the wages of labour in the current coin of the realm, he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) heartily concurred in the principle of that intendment, but feare d it would be impassible in this bill to establish it generally. He was ready to adopt it in so far ea this bill was concerned, and with that view he should move an addition to one of the clauses, to the effect that all labourers employed in the exe cution of works undertaken under the authority of this bill, shall receive payment, and full consideration for such labour, in the current coin of the realm, and not otherwise. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that though the object bad been to introduce an alteration generally through out Ireland, he was much obliged to the noble marquis for the adoption of the principle he had suggested, even to the extent now proposed. His (the Duke of Wellington's) opinion was, that a great part of the existing evils of Ireland had been occasioned by the practice of paying wages by leases of lands, and winking the rent out by the labour of the tenant He should have been glad if the principle could have been made general, but was o blig ed for its adoption even so far as the noble marquis proposed. After a few words from the Marquis of WILSTWILATII, these several amendments, as stated by the Marquis of LANs- DOWNS, were agreed to, and the report was received. POOR LAWS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table, by command if her Majesty , the annual report of the Po o r-law Commissioners, which was ordered to be printed.

Clifford appeared at the table, and summoned the louse to the House of Ler& to hear the royal assent given by commission to several bills. The Speaker, accompanied by several members, left the hoax, and, on his return, informed them that the royal assent bad b en given to the bills (for the titles of which see Lirds' Report).

RUSSELL stated that he meant to propose the suspension of the narigsti.n laws, but the precise mode of the suspension remained to be considered. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. Mr. AOLIONBY whhed to ask the noble Led at the head of the Woods and Forest., whether he meant to proceed with any portion of this bill during the present cession ? Lord MORPETH •e lid that he intendid to proceed with the bill so far as related to all corporate towns in Eng land and Wales, and to all towns to which a maturity of the rated inhabitants petitioned that it might be applied. TENANT RIGHT /JILL. In reply to a questioa from an hon. member, Mr. E DENISON mid that in the absence of his hon. friend th e promoter of this bill (Mr. Posey), he would state that he believed it was his intention to withdraw it on the following day. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that those hen. members who had motions standing on the paper for that evening would withdraw them, in order that the home might proceed to the report on the Loan (Discount and Inmalmenta) resolu tions. Mr. EWART consented to withdraw his modal ia refer m°, to direct taxation, on the understanding that he could bring it forward previous to the home again going iato gem mimeo of supp . q. Mr. HUME, Mr. MONTATr, and other hon. member also withdrew their motions in favour of the government order of the day. POOR REMOVAL. Mr. BANKES said that having understood that there would be no opposition on the part of the government to his introducing a bill to repeal the first clause of the Poor Re moval Act, he would *imply move the introduction of the bill, and appoint as early • day u possible for the second reading. Sir G. GREY would earnest to the first reading of the hill, but with the distinetaadentanding that her Majesty's gererament were not oa that among to be considered as in any way pledged le IM prWelple. (Near, hear.) Their ob *dam te the IC sees fa Ai Ikea s and he would on the refer uelaelem__ bring them Were the house. Mr. T. Dl7lolol3lllllmid he behoved that the fact of the government's having meeented to the introduction of the bill would tend to imeettle and disturb the relief of the poor in many parse X the eountry. (Hier, hear.) The govern_ mane would sedate have the host gentleman's bill, it ap peared, them Ids spent. (Laughter.) Sir J. elliailLJE mil that nothing but • desire to °militate tee peegeum el polite business could induce him to refrain ham wring lee luiredasliala al the bill. (Hear, hear.) He wee he to bast tbat her Majesty's govern ment were datremidW to glee it cm the next stage their decided opposition. Mr. K. DENISON mid there was in the country, at that moment, greasiest* mid digitally with regard to that bill, sad he hoped fiat. I. seder to alter that state of things, an early day would be lead be the second reading. Ss G. GREY said them oeght to be no mistake mto the opinion of the =at. That opinion was fi xed, and he had what it was. Mr. V . SMITH thought the bill introduced lent year very prejudicial to the interests of the poor, and believed that even the government would he obliged to propose some alteration in the existin g law, if no one else took that coulee. Mr. HAMMES said he had always declared that if the government would iatreduce a bill, he would give way. Mr. C. HULLER laid that he was chairman of the com mittee in which this difficult 'object was being invatad. There were in the committee not merely two conflicting opinions, but a great variety of opinions. When it was pro posed to repeal the law, the committee were very mucha posed to stub a coarse. When amendment was the necessity for amendment was unanimously =tied but when the queatits arose, in what sena. the law should be amended, it was immediately found that all the members of the committee were Arr amending it in different ways. (Hear, hear.) That was the pit scot state of things in the committee. There wee, in fact, the greatest potable diversity of opinion. He thought the course taken by the bon. member for Donetshire was the best that weld be pur• sued, as it would bring the question distinctly before the house, and not leave it in the midst of vague declaration that something must be done. (Hear and cheers.) Leave was thin given to introduce • " Bill to repeal the first clause of the act 8 and 9 Vic., c. 68," the Poor Removal Act. LOAN (DISCOUNT ON INSTALMENTS.) The report on the resolutions was agreed to, and a bill founded on them ordered to be brought M. The reception of the report, without any discussion, WY followed ►y a general and ludicrous shout of laughter, se it was expected that a debate would arise on the question, and all the motions on the paper had been withdrawn ex premly on that aooount. The home adjourned at six o'clock. GARY PAPERS. BALE or INCUNDERED ESTATES IN IRILAXO.—The bill to facilitate the sale of incumbered estates in Ireland was Feinted lam week. In the preamble is set forth the important definition of the word " ineninbrance," namely ,--any legal or equitable mortgage in fee, or for any leas estate, and also any money secured by a trust on land, or by judgment, decree or order, and also any legacy, portion, lea or other charge upon land, whereby a gross sum of money is secured to be paid on an event, or at a time certain, and also any annual charge which by the instrument creating the same, or by any other instrument, is made re purchasable on payment of a gross sum of money ; and the word " loonsibrancer" shall mean any person entitled to such inenalbeense." Where any land is so %cumbered the owner may, with leap of the Court of Chassery, sell it, provided the sus agreed to be paid by the ganinew shall exceed the almost ef Ineurabranes it bears.

IN the House of Lords, yesterday, the royal assent was given by commission to various bills. The Earl of HARDWICKE, in a speech expressive of his appea -1 hensions of a deficiency in the supply of corn fee home consumption, stated that if it were true that at the end of the last harvest there was a sufficient supply of corn for the following year, then, as two thirds of that period had elapsed, there ought to be one-third remaining ; whereas it appeared that in England and Scotland, no county had one-fifth remaining, and only one county bad one-third ; whilst in Wales the deficiency was still more serious, and this with a quantity of foreign buyers in the market. As there was little prebeldka ' of any further supply from the European jae, but a small additional quantity expected lent Amer rice, he was ructions to put the cowgirl s s osi d so that the quantity of food might be He would suggest that brown bread, eanleinine all the particles of the grain, might be eseenered, and that the use of starch should ber sus pended. He hoped also the landed gentry would adopt means in their own counties, in order to prevent the remaining supply of corn from leaving them. He begged to ask whether the government was aware that there was a deficiency of food, and, if so, whe ther there was a prospect of its being supplied by foreign countries.—The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply, observed that every individual had the same means the government pmmwd ofascertaining the pre sent stock of cora in the country, and while he could not subscribe to the statement that at the end of the harvest of last year there was a twelvemonth's supply of food in the country, he could say that a very large quantity of corn had been imported in the present year, which was still on the increase, and if it was as great for the remaining portion of it as it bad been during the last four months, the whole quantity would not be less than 9,000,000 quarters. The United States had exported 2,170,000 quarters, of which amount not more than 300,000 quarters had found their way to the rest of the world, leaving England in possession of four times the amount, as compared with that which bad been exported to other parts of Europe. He entirely concurred, however, in the opinion that the state of the markets was such as to make it the imperative duty of all persons to main tain in their families, as a matter of feeling as well as of economy, the most stringent regulations as to the consumption of food. Lord ASHBURTON doubted the ability of the American market to afford a sufficient supply, and feared that the anticipations of the government in that respect would not be realised. The result of his inquiries in his own neighbourhood led him to concur in the opinion that there was at present an insufficient supply of corn in the country.—Lord BROUGHAM thought nothing could be worse for the public than to conceal the fact of a scarcity, and nothing could more tend to prevent dearth from becoming famine than by giving sufficient notice of it. He strongly recommended economy with respect to the consump tion of the staff of life in the upper and middle classes, but deprecated interfering in any manner with the export trade, because if such were the ease, it would necessarily tend to limit imports. Under the existing . system so less than 4,000,000 qrs. of grain had been imported into this country within the last five weeks, being about one-fifth of the amount annually consnmed.—A discussion ensued on Lord MONTEAGLE'S presentation of a petition from Dr. Thorpe, the minister of the Proprietary Chapel in Belgrave-square, on the subject of the Bishop of LoNnoe's declining to sanction the appointment of a curate, on the ground of his being an Irishman' unless he had already been licensed to officiate in an English diocese—The Bishop of LONDON,in reply, stated the reasons which had induced him to act on the regulation alluded to, entering fully into the sub ject, concluding by paying a high compliment to the Irish clergy, upon whom it was furthest from his in tention to cast the slightest possible disrespect.—On the report of the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, amendments were introduced empowering the erec tion of grist mills, andstores in aid of drainage works, the insurance of the mills against fire to be com pulsory. In the House of Commons, Lord I. RUSSELL gave notice that, on Friday, the 21st, he should move the adjournment of the house for the 'Whitsuntide holi days, until Friday, the 28th inst—Mr. HOESMAN gave notice that, on Thursday next, he should ask the government whether it was intended to take advan tage of the favourable circumstances now existing to endeavour to establish diplomatic relations with the court of Rome ? Lord Morten!' inti mated, with reference to the Health of Towns Bill, that he intended to proceed with the mea sure so far as related to corporate towns in Eng land and Wales—not including the City of London— and to all other towns to which a majority of the rated inhabitants petitioned that it might be applied ; and as regarded the constructing of, or contracting for, gas and waterworks, it would be proposed that their value should be estimated as land was estimated under the Land Consolidation Clauses Act, and the clauses would be of a compulsory character.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to Mr. MITCHELL, stated that he intended to propose a further suspension of the navigation laws, but the pre cise mode of doing so was not yet determined on. —Mr. BANKES moved for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the first clause of the Poor Removal Act— Sir G. GREY consented to the bill being brought in, bat with the distinct understanding that the objec tions of the government as to its principle remained in full force—Sir J. GRAHAM was glad to hear that her =artr e a r ministers were determined to give the bill eppesition.—Mr. C. BULLER, as eludrasa of ensaittes for investigating this diffi cult !abject, sista% that while the committee were of million that the law should be am unan ead iln ed, ma x, ad" the %nation arose as to how that objet should be seelled. it was found that each mealier of the eamemillee had a plea of his own for Shas rman. lie thistellaw . uglrond of the course tag* by Mr. Busies, as osismistss to put an end to this state of &aid and tumertainty.—Several hoa. saseaters who had notices of motion on the paper having postponed them, after strong protestations ' that they only did so in order that the important debate on the loan resolution might be resumed ; the SPEAKER put the question that the report be brought up, which was brought up . accordingly and received, when, no hon. member rising, the SPEAKER then put the farther question of adjournment, and left the chair. This sudden and unexpected termination of the business of the evening excited great laughter among hon. members as they quitted the house. Tux application to Ireland by England of certain processes, especially of taxation, which are only pos sible in a country where civilisation and prosperity have penetrated to the lower or labouring classes, has been one of the most productive causes of discontent and misrule. In the infancy of taxation the feudal I lord and the wealthy merchant can alone be asked to pay. No me would think of taxing the serf; for even when capitation taxes have been established, of course it is not the slave, but his owner, who pays. The lower class of • backward state have in fact no money. They sell their labour for land—truck food for food. They live in a state of barter. To send the tax-gatherer amongst them to ask for coin world be • monstrous anachronism. Yet this is what Lord STAN LET proposed, and what the exclusively English peers, who judge of Irish by English farmers, were about to vote. A light, how ever, was let in upon the Lords at the eleventh hour. They were reminded that Ireland, as a country, in so behind England, that the Irish farmer's sight and use of coin are rare. Although he can make a great effort twice a year to muster the given sum which he pays as rent, to practise the same foresight with re spect to small items of taxation is impossible—the pounds would slip through his fingers. And if he were to pay poor-rate at all, he must pay it in kind. This will be the great difficulty in the way of the Irish tenants paying even one half of the poor's-rate. To have asked him to pay the whole, would have doubled the difficulty, which, remaining even as it is, or as the new law will make it, will be found impracticable in a great many of the poor districts. How httle, however, such considerations weighed with the house and the class of legislators, sufficiently appears_ from the previous proposal of the Duke of WELLINGTON to compel the Irish farmer to pay, not only the poor-rate, bat even the wages of labour, in I coin. In fact, it is the same question : if he can do the one, he can do the other. But certain pre liminaries would be requisite to both. For example, it would be advisable to establish and people a number of towns in Ireland, and till them with a rub ' stantial middle class, so as to afford to the farmer every week a market with ready money for his pro duce. In order to having market and ready money, the townsfolk should have manufactures and thriving occupations. In short, Ireland should be England— a very desirable consummation, but somewhat diffi cult and tedious. It is possible, however—with time. But what is impossible, is to decree for Ireland tome of the collateral fruits of the prosperity, without the solid stem or its pith to bear them. The lords who require the peasantry to have coin in abundance for merely fiscal purposes, whilst there is no mercantile use ordemand for it, display one of the forms of that vital and universal mistake with regard to Ireland. We doubt, however, that the proven fallacy of such views ned much effect upon the already mustered majority. Neither had the declared and altered opinion of the PEEL lords such atpreponderous influence. But it was felt to be unwise to precipitate a dissolu tion, and send contending political parties at once to the country, on the ground that the Upper House had refused to vote a practicable Irish poor-law. Os the principle that * half a loaf is better than no bread," the country may congratulate itself on Lord Monerries announcement last night of the govern ment intention" as to the Health of Towns Bill. It is not to be abandoned entirely for the present session. For this we have reason to be glad and grateful. It is to be what some will call modified, others, mutilated. Its application is to be confined to corporate towns, except in case of application being made to the Privy Council, from non-corporate places, by a majority of the rated iuhabitants. The crows abandons the proposed appointment by it of one-third of the commissioners in this latter class of cases. The metropolis is to be exempted from the general act, and to be the subject of a separate measure, promised for next session. We need not say that we regret these alterations, in common, probably, with all who have considered the question of sanitary law. But the eoentry will win a great advantage from what is left at the mea sure. Its prinsiple is not touched. The weak and narrow objections of the Marylebone or pariah inte rest have had no other effect than to exempt the metropolis from the present bill There is,we are thank ful to find, ne evidence in the alterations announced, that the wisdom of Dr. SPRY or Mr. DANIELL has had peculiar weight in the eyes of Lord MORPETH. Thanks to these gentlemen, London stands oat of the pale of a measure rife with improvements. They have succeeded for the present in their pro testation that they won't be washed, and don't want to be cleaned. The government, hampered with the crowding business of a closing session, has listened to their earnest prayer to be thrown overboard. Of course the metropolis consents to this, or it would not have happened. The districts which have allowed themselves to be represented by the opposing vestry have no right to complain, if the vestry suc ceeds in its opposition. But it is rather hard on such districts as St. James's and Whitechapel, whose managing bodies have passed resolutions favourable to the measure, that they mast suffer from the preju dices and stupidity of Marylebone and St. George's. That the country at large is favourable to the measure, we believe is indisputable. That the modified bill will work well, we have no doubt. Its effects in evaporate towns will, probably, be such that we shall soon have non-corporate places petitioning generally for its =- tension to themselves. But the metropolis, it eheeld not be forgotten by those who feel thumb's aggrieved by the parochial triumph, is only from the present act. Its turn is to come neat We trust there will be no departure, in the manives then meted out to it, from the principle of the menet bill. Above all things we hope there will be iao con cession to the unmeaning cry of " self nt," which, though it is, when rightly understood, the most useful of national habits, and the most pre cious of all national possessions, becomes in the hands of such men as Sir PETER LAURIE and the Marylebone magnates, nothing more than a hags hollow obstacle to improvement. Cnr wns will, from the time this bill becomes rw s ,tle towns really self-governing bodies. Stich irrespon sible rule as that of commissioners of sewers, under the present system, will be done away with. Con flicting and clashing authorities will be merged in the eaministration of the - A body municipal _ Ay. Party spirit will no longer determine the composition of the town counciL Co rations, furnished with powers which must deprive laziness of all excuse, will have the aid and superintendence of the central board of health and public works in whatever they take in hand far the improvement of their respective towns. We shall no longer have the fate of every district dependent entirely on the accidental presenceor absence of &certain amount of intelligence and zeal. Where that is, it will supersede the operation of a central body; where it is not, the central body will do its best to supply the deficiency. The first year's working of the mea sure will rout the bugbears of Bumbledom. It will soon be found out that sine it came into operation the streets are sweeter, and the inhabitants not a bit more slavish ; that sickness is diminished ; and Mr. dotoo, late of the select vestry, but now of the com a= council, is still a great man, with plenty of =cu pids= and the benefit of other heads besides the 411111itment that has been wont to wag assent to him at the weekly board. Never was there a more monstrous absurdity than to fancy thaLthis measure will do away with local activity, or supersede the necessity of load sat= Town councils will find out that under it Say bays more to do than ever. Notions will be suggested to them from without, which would never have ori ginated from within. The light of publicity will be let into haunts and houses upon which the parochial eye never lighted.

The opposing metropolitan vestries fall into the tail with 'the BENTINCXS and SIBTHORPS ; and la that procession to the shrine of " Statu quo," Mary. lebone is worthily represented by Sir Peres L egit WE are delighted to learn that notwithstgt i Secretary Sir GEORGE GREY has hesitated to to the requisition presented to him from a large p ro . portion of the electors of North Northumberland, his friends and relatives there have commenced, and ar e now engaged in an active canvass on his behalf. Sir °soma GREY'S hesitation was perfectly natural ; and its effect on the requisitionists is highly creditable to them. The Home Secretary at present represents a constituency by whom he is highly esteemed, and as whose hands his re-election is quite certain. S o f ur , therefore, there is every reason for a continuance of those honourable relations that have so long existed between him and Devonport. No borough constituency can, however, be enrprised that the representation of any man's native county should have superior attractions, and should be higher object of ambition ; and, as the return of two liberals for Devonport is not doubtful, the election of Sir GEORGE GREY for North Northumberland would increase the ministerial strength in the House of Commons ; and that result would, in some degree, recompense Devonport for the loss involved by the change. Still it was not to be expected that Sir GEORGE GREY would rashly sever a connexion pro. perly so dear to him, and plunge into an expensive contest, the result of which was not a matter of more certainty than any electioneering prospect can be, When, therefore, a requisition bearing only 1,100 signatures out of a constituency numbering about 3,000 was presented, it could not be a matter of cur. prise, still less of offence, that he hesitated and declined to commit himself. The requisitionists are not, however, it seems, to be turned from their purpose. They feel that North Northumberland with two Conservative members is misrepresented ; they are convinced that with zeal and exertion the influence which has imposed this misrepresentation on them may be defeated ; and they arc resolved to test the question wheth er th e franchise in that division of one of the most intelligent and liberal counties in England is to continue an appanage of the PERCY family. This determination is, we repeat, most creditable to them ; and it is im possible that they could have a worthier midi date than Sir GEORGE GREY— man in every rela. tion of life equally able and excellent. They might, indeed, have searched through the whig party for a candidate to whom higher praise eoald be given , and against whom fewer objections could be urged. One of the most active, he is also one of the most popular members of the present cabinet. Rivalling in administrative talents Sir JAMES GRAHAM, he is quite as great a favourite with the house as his predecessor in the home-office was the reverse; and though a firm and unbending liberal, his excellence and moral worth have secured him the entire confidence of the church. The member of a family whose public services have conferred renown on Northumberland, Sir GEORGE GREY is precisely the member the constituency require. Amongst the farmers he is very popular; to the squirearchy, could it free itself from a slavish subserviency to Alniriek Castle, he would be agreeable; and already many of the clergy—Dr. GILLS', of Norham, for instance—are overcoming their prejudices against liberal opinions in his favour. And by whom is his election opposed ? By the new Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, who, irritated, it is pre sumed, that the Crown has not made the Lord Lieuten ancy of Northumberland a Percy heirloom, has started —not a county gentleman, not a squire resident amongst or known to the electors ; not a conservative politician of high repute, but a young lord who now for the first time has visited the county, in which neither his father nor he has an acre, who is as wholly unknown to the electors as 800 MAZA, and who has no earthly claim to their support, but that he is in the direct line of succession to the duchy. And to this nominee of family pride and irritation, Lord OSSCL3TON, who for fourteen years has only saved North Northumberland from shame by never opening his lips in the House of Commons, is tagged, and both are presented by the agents of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND to his tenantry and dependents for their undivided support. No choice was to be allowed; no thought tolerated ' • no independence permitted : they are "die duke's candidates for them the duke's tenantry and retainers aro frankly told they . must vote ; and, unluckily for freedom of eke tion in this district, the system of management on the PERCY estates has created a poor, helpless, unin formed, and dependent race of farmers, who, having no lessee, and being only yearly tenants, are alto gether at the mercy of their powerful landlord. Fortunately, however, all estates in North Northam , berland are not similarly managed. On large districts, unconnected with Alnwick Castle, are long leases, high farming, agricultural improvement, and an independent and a solvent tenantry : there thorough draining and subsoil ploughing are appreciated and practised : there protection is estimated at its real value ; there poli tical intelligence I. united with agricultural science; and there it is that a determination exists to rescue the county from such intolerant dictation. And the determination will, from all we can learn, be success ful, if there be unity, concord, and energy ; if the local agents pull together with earnestness and zeal ; if proper means be taken to secure the support of non resident electors—if, in short, the liberal party there be only tree to itself. The excitement which prevailed in Paris on Sun day, in consequence of the ministerial crisis, was iu some measure allayed by the appearance, on Monday morning, of royal ordonnances in the Musiteur naming the successors of the three ministers, so un ceremoniously ejected. The circumstances stated in the'postscript of our correspondence of yesterday were strictly correct. During the forenoon M. Cluizoes offers were met with nothing but refusal. In despair of finding suitable individuals in the capital who would consent to accept the vacant seats in the cabi net, the telegraph was set to work, and messages were sent to the provinces offering the ministerial favours to more distant and less fastidious Before sunset answers were received favourable to wishes of the virtual head of the cabinet. In the course of the evening, ordonnancee were accordingly signed, nominating M. Dumon, Minister of Finance, M. Jar, a peer of France, and prefect of the Rhone, Minister of Public Works, the Duke de Montebello, ambassador at Naples, Minister of Ma. rine ; and General Trezel, also a peer, and com mander of the 12th military division, Minister of War. M. Ginza takes the Marine ad interim, until the return of the Duke de Montebello from Italy. So little faith is reposed in the certainty or sta bility of any ministerial assuagement at present, that, in order to create the necessary assurance among the public in the serious import of these ordounancea, the ministerial journal formally states that the acceptance of MM. Jayr and Tread of the offices to which they neraniectively nominated was received by telegraph. Trizel is a very able officer. The above appointments were not known to the journalists of Perla until their appearance in the Dloniteur on Monday morning ; and consequently no opinion on the part of the press had yet been elicited ; but the press is already passably indignant at the dismissal of the three now ex-ministers. It is an nounced by the Journal des Debate, that although some of the members of the cabinet are changed, its policy will remain unaltered. General Cubitres underwent his first examination before the committee of the court of Peers on Satur day, and the examining judge proceeded to his home to take possession of such of his papers as related to the subject of the prosecution. Queen Christina left Paris on Monday for Naples, where it was expected she would remain but a abort time. She will return directly to Paris. Postage reform is about to be brought before the Chamber of Deputies. M. Glais-Bizouin will propose a uniform rate of postage, and M.
