'Arm The papers whien publish them are hostile to our Punjsub policy, and are apple, ntly happy in being able to state anything which may lead to the inference that our rule at Lahore is looked on with abhorrence by the people. The Raxersha, haying expressed a great dislike to the rule of the Maharajah Goolaub Singh, have again been placed under the authority of the Lahore state, the ruler of Cashmere having received the district of Kuree Kurreeala in its mend, which yields a teeenue of 30,0001. a year; the Makarejah is said to he delighted with his bargain. Lieutenant Ed ward's had returned from his mission to the Bunn** die- D iet. Colonel Lawrence's intended sisit to Goolaub Singh in Cashmere had been postponed for the present, owing to the large amount of busyness he had on hand. Sir John Littler bad unexpectedly returned to Lahore from Jnllundur; he only remained a short time, end theu set oat far Simla, to join the gevernor-general, where he arrived es the 4th of June. All sorts of improvements had been made in the town of L shore, ouch as making sewers, paring the streets, making roads and watercourses, &e.: and the hall of audience at the residency (originally a Mahomedan tomb) had been converted into a church—Col. Lawrence giIIPrJUSIF furnishing carpets, furniture, &c., for it. The troops were all in the best of health, the weather being plea ant. though warm. A considerable amount of gai-ty pre vailed, though the refusal of some corps, not iaeeilled. to lend heir mermen= for the occasion, had prevented se large an assemblage at *ball givin on her Majesty's birthday as would otherwise have been the case. At length better days seem about to flown upon the old &nicer, Dist Mahomed of Cahoot. This favourable change may, doubtless, be attributed to the death of his rebellious son, Ukhbar Khan, who would, to the end of time, have kept his event in a constant state of alarm, by his lawless di position. The old dust is satisfactorily settling all his dif ferences with the chiefs who had been injured by his late. sun, making recompense to some, and conciliating others by concessions which, though but just, hail been for years re fused. Dalt Mahomed ie said to be anxious for a renewal of friendship with us, which will, no doubt, in time come round, and a resident at his court be again heard of. Let as hope the amity about to be entered on will be of longer duration than the lint, which, but for our own folly, would have continued uninterrupted up to this day. All sorts of improbable stories have been atbat, during the last week, of the Russians having (Arend the l'ennans s half the countries they might conquer in the east, provided they allowed them free transit through their territories; of a Persian army having marehill on Ili rat; and of the island of Karrack, in the Persian Gulf, having been given to the French, who were to bring out a fleet of steamers to protect the coast of Persia ! The Queen n - .eamer arrived from Bushire on Wednesday, but nothing of all these things was known thi re ; the reports reached Bombay from Muscat, and have turned out mere bazaar gups. COLONIAL AUSTRALIAN GROUP.—Kew SOUTH WALES. —By the overland mail we have received Sydney papers to the 13th of April, inclusive. A proclamation appeared in the government gazette of the eth of that month for the encouraeement of immigration front the continent of Europe to the colony. From an article in the Sydney Herold it appears that the colonists are anxious to procure immigrants from Germany who are cenversant with the culture of the vine, end from France or Italy, who hate been trained to the cultivation of the olive anti the silk worm. Many labourers, however, are wanted for nrdinsry tillage, for tending cheep, and, as bee been shown by Dr. Len, for the growth of cotton. These might be had here, and means would already have been adopted r.r enabling part of our surplus popuettion to reach the colony, had we such a thing as a real Colonial-office. The Moretna Bay Courier of 3rd April notices the wash ing ashore of some of the bodies of the etifferers in the wreck of the Sovereign. The bodies of nine males and three females were found within a distance of eight miles from Cape Moreton. They were horribly disfigured, and none could be id, stifled but those of fume Smith, John Higgins, and Mrs. Bishop. The lady's was only recognised by her ring. A carpet bag belonging to Mr. Joyner, contcning apparel and some letters, apparently from Lis wife, had been found and lodged in the police-office at Brisbane. Only two bales of weal appear to Lave been recovered. NORTH AUSTRALlA.—lntelligence had been received at Sydney from the (as the Sydney Morning , Herald very justly calls it) "incomprehensible el pe " sent to occupy this district. to March 22. The main topic of divuesion on board the Lord Ancklandeduring the voy age from Sydney was how the arrival of " his honour and slate" was to be celebrated. It was arranged that the military were to be sent on shore to be ready to receive in due form the civil officials, who were to land in full costume. Unluckily the Lord Auckland was run upon a sand-bank on Jan. 25, and as she was making much water Col. Barney was glad to get ashore in the first heat without any ceremony at all. This accident appears completely to have paralysed hi. energies. For some weeks he remained in tents on Facing Island, making no effort to explore the country, though he had troth boats and men at his command. The ceremony of swearing in was performed but listlessly and lugubrieudy. Provisions were beginning to get scarce; vegetables were not to be found; six sheep only re mained; the party were reduced to junk and biscuit. Two coasters, the Harriet and Secret, fitted out as a private spe euletion by Brisbane settlers, luckily arrived with provisions which were purchased by the governor. The Thomas Lowry, which was to have followed the Lord Auckland immediately, only arrived on the 14th of March, and was nearly run on the same sand-bank. The Lord Auckland must be hove down, stripped of her eheathing, and thoroughly repaired before she can return to Sydney. After the arrival of the Harriet sod Secret, Col. Barney picked up courage to move to South Shore Head, where a few trees were felled and the tents pitched. A general survey of tee cowl is to be made before the whereabouts of the settlement is decided on. On the 14th the blacks stole an axe from the woeketen, and some who ()Bowed to recover it were received with a volley of atones from slings. No timber or stone fit for building purposes had been discovered. Col. Berney is positive, however, that he can find freestone " in abundance" by " boring deep into the trap rock, and by blasting, seeking to arrive at the freestone under it" The climate had proved healthy : the heat was felt to he oppres sive at first, but the party bad got accustomed to it. A register of the thermometer and weather for the month of February wag kept by Dr. Robertson, the assistant tonere% The lowest of the thermometer at S cm. was deg. ; the highest 96 ; the lowest at noon 76 deg., the highest 106 ; the lOWA at 8 p.m. 75 deg., the highest 98. From the Ist to the 11th February, inclusive, the wind wet from the N.E., exeept on the afternoon of the 7th and on the Bth, when it was from the S.E., and on the sth, when it was variable. From the 12th to the end of the month it was from the S.E., except on the 13th, when it was variable. 'There was rain on the Ist, 2nd, 14th, 15th, 16th, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, and' 7th of the month ; and showers on the 3rd —the rest was dry. Not an acre had been discovered that would repay cultivation ; no traces of minerals. The last letter from the place conclude' : —" We are all anxiety for the arrival of the Kangaroo, many of us hoping that she may bring news that the settlement is to be abandoned." NEW ZEALAND.—By the Garland Grove, ar rived at Sydney on the 12th of April, letters and papers had been received from Wellington to the 2nd of that month — the day on which the vessel sailed. The Wellington Specta tor of the 20th of March announced that the resident magi strates ordinance had been for some time in force at Auck land, and was found to answer well. The Independent of 27th March intimates that it had come into operation in the Cook's Strait settlement, Mr. H. St. Hill, having been appointed resident magistrate at Wellington, Major D. S. Duty, at Waikanae and Otaki; and Captain Lays (the officer in command there) at Wanganui. Two chiefs of Otaki and two of Waikanae had been selected to assist Major Duey in all cases in which natives were implicated. The Otaki chiefs were to act when the offenders were from Waikanae, the Waikanae chi, fs when the offenders are from Otaki. This experiment will go far to teat the practi cability of the measure investing native chiefs with judicial authority. Waikenae was to he declared a port of entry. Since the opening of the roads the cattle and sheep markets had become lively. The Lied claims having been settled, it was expected a great deal of land would be thrown into the market and its pries reduced. fThe Court. derous aspersion on Roman catholic/ at large, by propagating a certain printed document, consisting of an impious moody of the Lord's Prayer, in which the neme of the Blessed Virgin Mary is substituted for that of Almighty God. On the 16th of June last, Sir E. C. Smith unblush ingly declared that this unhallowed prayer was circulated thioughout & Igium, Switzerland, and Franoe, with the fullest authority of the church of Rome. On the very day of his blasphemous calumny a catholic priest oh tamed from Sir E. C. Smith the document, and forthwith wrote to demand en explanation from the alleged printer thereof, by name Victor Janet, No. 5.5, Rue do Vowed. Paris. It appears that this individual has bean absent kir tiresl years, but his successors, Alma and Co., solemnly idlisimelmi ouch a document was never printed in their establishment at any period, and unhesitatingly pronounced it to be ea execrable forgery got up by some protestant esomy. The Archbishop of Paris has already summoned into his posmema the said Alvan, to sift this infernal calumny to the shmer, which has already been indignantly refuted in Belgian. As this monstrous animation os my brethren in faith has already obtained an unlimited publicity, I now confide in the noble and impartial spirit which actuates your journal to make this solemn denial of it as widely extended.—AS Is lax CATHOLIC SUBSCRIBER.—August 1, 1847. SHAESPEARE'S HOUSE.—A number of literary gentlemen, members of the Museum Club, Northumherland street, Strand, have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of reining subscriptions among themselves is particular, and the public generally, to form a fund for the purchase and preservation of the old habitation of the im mortal bard at Stratford-upon-Avon. A nesting, with this ohji ct in view, was held at the Mansura Club, on Satur day afternoon last, and amongst other literary gentlemen pre sent were T. K. Hervey, Esq., Douglas Jerrold, Esq. C. Knight, Esq., Me , Vendenhoff, It. Bell, Esq., Mr. Keeley, Mr. V. Kelly, Le. Resolutions were passed to the effect that subscriptions had been entered into, and resolving that i overtures should be made to the 'rations literary bodies in London and Stratford-upon-Avon to join in the undertak. rag, if they Glt so disposed. The urban-lotion lists will also he open to the public, and it is to he hoped that Shakspeare's house will never be allowed to fall into private hands, but that it will soon become national property. SUDDEN INDISPOSITION OF JENNY LlND.—Great disappointment was experienced by the frequenters of her Majesty's Theatre, on Saturday evening, in consequence of the sudden indisposition of Jenny Lind, which prevented ' her reappearance m " La Fight del Reggimento," as sclver tised. Donizettes opera of L'Elisir d'Amore" was, there fore, substituted; and in order to mitigate the disappoint ment of the public as cinch as possible, placards were posted outside and faille distributed inside the house announcing that those who had taken tickets for that eveniag's perform- 1 ands might receive somheis for gratuitous admisaion em Thursday next, when Jenny Lind will personate her popular character in the first-mentioned opera. This prompt and spontaneous act of liberality reflects great credit upon Mr. Lumley, the proprietor. THE IRON TRADE.—Although the price of Shrop shire pigs has been well supported, it would be useless to conceal the feet that tbs. difficulty mentioned in our last no tite, of obtaining former rates fur Staffordshire, yet remains. The generality of the ironnuistera here have supplied them selves hut scantily with that article, and are making efforts to effect a reduction. For common makes half-a-crown has been conceded, and most of them have been readily dismed of; but fair qualities for competition are still firmly held. The makers, aware of the unitorm nakedness of the land, as well is the pressing nature of various orders daily ar riving in the works of their customers, must be sensible that it is their own fault if the contest should terminate to their advantage. More importance is attached to this ettempt at forcing a reduction in pig iron than its trifling amount seems at first sight to justify ; but the sellers of manufactured iron are very similarly situated with their ens comers, and the result in one instance will probably be seri ously influenced by the other, and thus bear unfortunately upon the general interests of the trade. In the rail trade we have not heard of any further display of failing confi dence, while the news from abicrod is of a gratifying eke rect.r for our merchant manufacturers. Orders are plenti ful in every branch, and there is no cloud is the mercantile horizon indicating any adverse movement. —Birmingham Ga:ctee. Loss OF THREE LIVES ON THE RIVER--On Sunday evening, about half-peat six o'clock, a wherry was observed by the penple on the Mortlake shore nearly in the centre of the stream, and making for Barnes. The boat contained four men and one woman, two men only rowing. The woman, who was busily employed inhaling out the water that the boat had shipped, overbalanced htrself and fell into the water. The two men nearest her simultaneously rushed to the side of the boat with the hope of rescuing her, when the wherry lurched, and the whole party were upset. Two boats which were passing came to their anistanoe, and suc ceeded in saving an old man and youth, but the female and the two m•si who had endeavoured to rive her were drowned. Up to list evening neither of the bodies had been found. The names of the parties lost are William Edward Seeger, aged 18; Jane Seeger, his sieter, aged 20; and William Bonitos, aged 22. INQUEST, YESTERDAY. DEATH IN A POLICE CELL.—ALLEGED NEGLECT Or THE POLICE —Before Mr. Carter, at the King and Queen, Hich-stioet, Newington, on the bitty of a cabman, named R'nry Sumpter, who, on the morning of Saturday last, was found dead in one of the cells of the Park-place station-home, Walworth. It was alleged that the deceased had died in consequence of the neglect of the police on duty at the station.—John Barney, police constable, stated, that on Friday night last he was on duty near the canal bridge in the Oid Kent-mad, where, in a chemist's shop, he found the deceased lying on the floor, apparently dead. Witness was told that " the man was intoxicated." Something was given to the de ceased to smell, and a draught was given Mm to drink, whea he seemed to rally a little. Seeing that he was incapable of taking care of himself witness took him to the station, and he was locked up in one of the cells. Did not attempt to find out where he lived. There was no one there who knew him —Robert Vickery. wheelwright, 1. Hampton-yard, Albany-road, mid that on Friday evening, about half-past 8 o'clock, he saw the deceased and , two men on the box of a cab in the Kent-road. The vehicle was going at eight or ten miles an hour. He saw the de ceased fall off the box upon his head. It appeared to him that deceased was leaning over the splash based to recover the reins.—Police-sergeant Lynch, 10 P, said that he was on duty at the station-house when deceased was brought in. He had his neckerchief taken off, his shirt collar unfastened, and was laid upon his back in the station. About 12 o'clock at night hie master came and saw him. He then appeared to be slowly recovering. About a quarter to 3 witness left him in charge of Sergeant Low.—Mr. Vane, annuitant to Mr. Dry, a surgeon, said that he was called into the station about 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, and found deceased quite dead. He found a small lacerated wound at the back of the head. Death might have been caused by excessive drinking or by the injury on the head.— Mr. Superintendent Robinson said that the sergeant who had charge of the deceased had been suspended by the corn tainioners until the result of the inquest was known.—The coroner said the precise cause of death must be known before the conduct of the police or any other party was inquired into.—The inquest was therefore adjourned to have the body opened. The Queen and Prince Albert, and the ladies and gentlemen of the court attended divine service on Sunday in Wh.ppingham Church. fler Nlajesty and Prince Albert walked early in the pleasure ground , " and plantations of Osborne.

LEGISLATIVE RACIN6 INTELLIGENCE.—The "End of the Session" meeting has presented the usual variety o *Port, and an extraordinary number of very well contested races. In the Government Stakes, Mr. Strutt'a " Railway Bill" broke down in the second heat. Much blame has been attributed to the jockey ; but " Railway Bill" wanted bottom, and the best judges always expected be would be distanced in a mane struggle. Tbe Sanitary Stakes pro duced a good deal of excitement in the ring at St. Stephen's, but very little was done, owing to a report that Morpeth's "Health of Towns" was far from confident. It was believed by many, that " Health of Towns" had been made safe by certain parties connected with the City. But the style in which the went in her trial over the heavy '• clauses" ground in committee has done much to reassure the blorpeth party; and " Health of Towns" was backed freely, while " Vested Interest," •• Bumble," "Sir Peter," and " Now, Stupid," have dc elined proportionable. "The Navigation Laws" Stake brought a numerous field. The contest was severe; but Lord John Russell's "Suspension" came in easy, beating I , lsl George Bentinek's old hone " Figures " (out of "Cram," by " Memory") and a large field. Then is very little doing in the approaching entry fur the " Election Stakes." " Old Whig" has gone down to a very low figure, and 100 to 1 have been freely laid against him, whilst " Pro tection " is almost in the same predicament. The knowing one, are holding back for the outsiders. A " Dark " hone will probably " do the trick," as the old hands confess themselves completely at fault.—Punch. FOEGERT r. Por Eny.—Sir,--I write, feeling eon vrted that by this time numbers of your coantleas subs riben Tilly hare ginn, too easily, credit to Sir E.C.Sraitt's mutt stem movement was paralysed by a circular sent out in Ootoher by K. Cantu Gridaine, Minister of Agriculture and Com mann affirming that the deficiency to the oorn crops was elaaa.liaffir alight. K. Cunin Gridaine is a man of small capacity • and we consider this circular in the lig h t of en administiative blunder. No punishment can, to our think ing, be severs enough fora 'sinister committing such an act teem eakulation. AN woe se commerce regulates the markets of a country, duties are of not the slightest use, for foreign corn paying heavily for freight cannot compete with home-grown corn. If a famine comes on, the people inane, and no import duty an then be maintained. The abuse of the right of pro perty leads in that way to riot and plunder. The French government are now. expeeleseciag this; the present ministry are not fanatics in Amor elf the protective system. On this , as on many other rowitione, they have ne decided opinion ; but they seek to remain in plans by flitter ing the prejudices and serving the interests of the great pro. I pneton and manufacturers. In 1848 the wheat mop was but ' middling, and the rye crop had completely failed. As early as the month of July, the average price of wheat in all France rose to 231. per hectol. In August it rose to 24f., end in the course of October to 25f. 75c. The duty rising If., prices fell in the same proportion until they came to 22f. in the first zone, 20 in the second, 18 in the third, and 16 in the fourth. Below this limit, every fail of If. will bring a corresponding fill of lf. 60e. in the import dui.. Co, in. stance, when corn is worth (according to its sone 21f. o, 19f. 911., 171. 90c., and 13f. 90c., the duty is s f. 7 . per hec tolitre, that is equivalent to 10f. 70c. (13s. 4d.) per quarter. Such a high tariff as this in a country like France, ts com pletely prohibitive. There can be nothing more illusory than to think that a sliding scale is a protection. When corn abounds, even after the harvest, the reserved quantity of grain which must be replaced since it had been devoured m immense. Such a project was objectionable in other ways. It limited the right of importation to corn, as if the effect of a famine was not to render more rare and dearer every sort of provisions, meat, fish, vegetables, and bread. Several deputies, and chiefly MM. Leon Faucher, Binge', and Gust tee de Beaumont, proposed as an amendment to ti • project of taw, to extend this period till the 30th September, and demsnded the admission, free of duty, in addition to, corn, of rim vegetables, flour, cattle. and salt meat as well as fresh, salt and smoked fish. The chamber Valid that portion of the amendment relative to flour, but Mimed to prolong the time beyond the 31st of July. As for that part of the proposal which related to cattle, and attacked the holy ark, it excited such a storm amongst these member who were tended proprietors, that the movers of it were obliged to withdraw it, being certain that they would not be listened to by the chamber. No sooner, however, was the law adopted, than its insufficiency was re cognised. Government had stated in January, that an importation of three millions of hectolitres of corn would be sufficient to fill up the deficiency in the crops until July. But at the end of April the quantities of corn imported since the beginning of the year 1847, amounted to 4,143,158 hectol ; and in spite of this inundation of foreign corn, prices continued to rise. A sort of panic woad through the country, depreciating all securities, at6P V 2 n works, and causing formidable riots The two Mem were assailed with petitions, demanding the admission, tree of duty, of all kinds of provisions. The central congress of agriculture, held in Paris, in the month of . pril, having protested against this demand, expired,killed by the ridicule attached to such a proceeding. M. Cunin Gridaine presented to the Chamber of Deputies on the 10th of May, a project of law, prolonging the laws of the 28th of January and 24th of February till the 31st of October. Government thus continued to follow the bent of circumstances. It added to a periol already insufficient, a second period, which was equally so, forgetting that trade requires security before everything else, and that the toe narrow limits in which it may be forced must necessarily clog its operations. It is true that government has reserved to itself the power of prolonging the period beyond the 31st of October, if it becomes necessary to do so. But this necessity is now certain ; and why should the law refuse to provide for it? It is probable, according to the disposition in which the Chamber of Deputies is, that the time will be further prolonged till the Ist of Marcli 1848. The question of cattle and salted provisions still re mains unsettled. The difficulty was looked into by the Chamber of Peers on the occasion of a petition, on which that body pronounced that it should be sub mitted to the Minister of Commerce, in spite of the opposition manifested be the minister himself. The import duty which is paid on the frontiers of France upon foreign cattle is fio f. (445.) per head for oxen ; that is, about one penny per pound. This tariff„ which was este blished in 1822, is completely prohibitive, and has almost completely put a stop to importation. In 1816, under the influence of a duty of 3f. per head, imports had risen to 81,000 heads of cattle ; and they were 64,000 heads in 1821. la 1840, in consequence of exaggerated amount of duty, the number was only 7,433 heads; in 1845, 5,046, and in 1846, only 4,909. Thus, whilst the population was on the increase, the importation of large cattle decreased by 76,000 heads, which, taking meat to be tw;ee as nourishing as corn, would rerresent a deficiency in the consumption of France of one million of hectolitre,. The strength of population mainly depends upon the quality of their food. English sailors and work men do more work and are capable of greater efforts than Frenchmen of the same clam—for this reason, that the foresee teed themselves better, eating meat instead of vegetables, which is the principal food of the latter. Whenever the French workman can get meat he dies more work; and if the strength of the body is taken into account, with the capital expended in production, the custom house tariffs are keeping France in a deplorable inferiority. The consumption of meat, which amounts to 68 kiln. per head per annum in England, to 55 kilog. in Germany, and 43 kilog. in Belgium, is only 23 kilog. in France. In Paris the consumption of meat has literally decreased during the last fifty yearn in proportion as prices have risen. It is leas amongst a million of inhabitants by 600,000 klieg. than it was in 1789. The Minister of Commerce has dated in the Chamber alt Peers that the price of meat had not changed in France tea the year 1810. Prices rose between 30 and 40 per coat. between 1822 and 1840 ; and in Paris alone, from 1840 to 1847, it has risen twenty per cent. Beef, which six years ago was worth 65 to 70 centimes (7d.), is now worth 80 to 83. Mr. Cunin Gridaine, if be wished to find this out, had no need of searching into statistics. The worst consequence of the tariff on cattle is the inequality which it causes between the divers portions of France. Whilst it gives a premium to the breeder in the western zone, it deprives of all means of exchange those of the southern zone, which being near to Piedmont and Switzerland would receive meat in exchange for corn. The result is, that those places in which reaches the highest price are those in which most money paid for meat; and the tariff thus joins with scarcity to make the people starve. The present crisis has certainly the effect of weakening the moral authority of such a tariff. It was famine which made the strength of the League and Cobden against the proteetionints ; end the same circum stances cannot fail to bring ea the wow result in France. In the meanwhile, however, ft maid be matinees not to extend to cattle end salted provisions the temporary freedom of duty which hes been afforded to corn and flour. When the people is hungry, there is no more right to exclude cer tain kinds of food than to allow in certain others. FRENCH CORN-LAWS. France contains 36 millions of inhabitants, consult. fug annually 34 millions of quarters of Frain, the country producing three or four milli-as less than the demand. And hence, until agriculture shall have made greater progress in France, she most purchase annually a certain quantity of grain. The returns prove the necessity. The exports and imports since 1815 show that France has purchased yearly more grain than she has sold. This inferiority of French agriculture is chiefly owing to two causes—want of manure, and the difficulties in the way of transport. For manure, it is necessary to have cattle, and for cattle green crops. Whilst the quantity of land in England destined to nourish animals exceeds that devoted to grain, in Francethere is comparatively little meadow ground. The consequence is, that the acre which returns 21 or 22 bushels in England, gives but 14 or 16 in France. There are parts of France where the price of corn is 60 or 75 per cent, dearer than in other parts. Whilst it is but 12 or 13 francs the hectolitre in Brittany, it is often 91 or 22 in Lyons or Marseilles. Were the country covered with railroads, as it must in time, this difference would dis ap. On the Northern line grain is transported from Antwe pear rp toren!, nearly 400 miles, at 3 franca the hectolitre, as 48 francs the ton. The same corn would cost 12 or 16 francs, instead of 3, to bring it from the Rhine. Thus, in plen tiful years, corn is infinitely dearer at the ports than in the interior. In a scarce year like the prment, corn is still dearer in remote provinces. And there is a difference of 25 francs, and more, between the markets of east and west. At one moment corn fetched this year in Strasburg 122 shillings the quarter. Such being the state of things, France has the most mani fest need of free trade in corn. An enlightened government would not be blind to this necessity. The Emperor Napoleon established but moderate duties on the import of corn. In 1818, in consequence of the famine that prevailed, in- , ferior lands were brought into cultivation, and the landed 6 interest demanded protecting duties. In 1821 and 1822, the golden age of prohibition in France, a new tariff was pro mulgated ,by which importation was forbidden whenever The nomination for this borough took place yesterday.- the price of corn lowered in the home market, and exports- Mr. T.

The election for the boroughs of Beaumaris, Llangeni, Arolwch, and Holyhead took place at Besumaris on Satur day last. Mr. W. B. Edwards read a letter from the Hoc. W. 0. Stanley, intimating that it was not his intention to contest the boroughs on the present occasion.—Mr. E. E. Meyrick proposed Lord George Frederick Augustus Paget. Greathead seconded the nomination.—No poll was demanded, and the mayor declared Lord George Paget duly elected, amidst loud cheering.—Lord George Paget, in appearing before them for the first time, had the pleasing task of returning thanks en their representative, an honour which he most highly esteemed. He had the additional gratification of finding that his first appearance did not cause a division of feeling, as he had at one time t. a : pgrehended. It was natural that they should desire an ex tion of his sen timents. In early life, he had adopted rd J. Russell ea his pole star, and now when he had seen the principles the noble lord had advocated carried out by the men who had before opposed them, he need hardly say that his support would be given to the ministry now in power. So long back as 1841 he had expressed his opinion before the electors of the Caruarvonshire boroughs that the corn-laws ought to be repealed, and he now congratulated them on so desirable a result. He begged further, to congratulate them on the pawing of the Holyhead Harbours hill—a measure which would open up new sources of wealth to the county, and be advantageous to the boroughs.—Three cheers, and the elec• Lion was over, thanks being voted to the mayor. BE WD LEY. Mr. Ireland, the Tory candidate. haying been declared elected by a majority of two votes, Sir Thomas Winnington, the old liber►l candidate, will offer himself for Welt Wor .. etwiety, Verney with en quenily, electors and the benefit of the people."—Sir Harry neat addressed the electors, and was received wring. " I think I owe some apology for so tre y, and at such great length, addressing so many of the _Anon on my visits to their Monism There were several reasons foe doing this: first, I wished to become acquainted with the conduct and wants of the inhabitants; secondly, to give them an opportunity of knowing my opinions and my views, and learning from them"—[Some of the Polhillites here became uproarious.] Sir Harry continued: " If you desire to ridicule a bad speaker, you will find no difficulty, for I have no eloquence. As I was saying—to give them an opportunity of making question!, and of discussing at length subjects of importance. It was a source of unmixed pleasure that I found many not unfavourable to my own views, and very few, if any, personally hostile, which rendered my chance easy. The principles upon which I stand have rendered the people happy, and done much good. The men with whom I cu-operate stand ele vated an political principles. Consider the men who are entrusted with the government of the country. There were Led Grey, Lord Palmerston, and Sir George Grey. The limisions of the Lord Chancellor had been prompt, true, end just. The noble lord that presided over Ireland is an exalted statesman. The noble lord representing the lands of the house of Remelt —(hisaes)— Let them look at the First Lord of the Treasury: he was not the representative of a mall borough, but of the largest city in the empire, whose verdict might be considered the highest conferred by any constituency in the country. Then there was the Reform Bill, and the Corporation Bill. The government had al e° struck off the fetters of the African slave, and given them cheap postage. All these measures had been opposed by what is called a conservative government. The last vote I gave was for the freedom of trade, against the corn protectors at home and the sugar protectors abroad. Compare the conduct of the protectionists on the hustings six years ago and their conduct in parliament." The hon. gentleman then entered into an explanation of a charge made against him of being an enemy to the established church and of his being in favour of tbeßoman catholic religion, which he denied. He said the present members had not op posed the Maynooth grant in 1843 and 181 i, and were not, therefore, the invariable opponents of the grant. Ile had ~nothing more to say but to thank them for their kindness in hearing him. The mayor having asked if any other candi date would be proposed, then called for a show of hands, which he declared to be in favour of Sir Harry Verney and Mr. Stuart. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Green. Inglis, 1,6 M; Round. 797 ; Gladstone, 977. Both committees agree u to the number at the conclusion of the day's poll . Which leaves Mr. Round in a minority of 180, only S leas than he was on Seturday. The poll will open *gam Mis morning, and finally close this evening. PEMBROKE. On Saturday the election took place, when Sir John Owen, the Lord-lieutenant of the county of Pembroke, was ro• elected the representative of the boroughs of Pemtwoke. Tenby, Milford, and Wham). The hoe. baronet did not " show" on the occasion, which was altogether a dull affair, so Capt. Cbildhad retired from the contest early in the week. T I VEItION. Although Mr. Harney, the third candidate, withdrew his pretensions on Friday, at the nomination, a poll having been demanded on behalf of Lerd Palmerston, that form was necessarily gone through on Saturday, although no more than two candidates presented themselves—his lordship and Mr. Heathcoat. The speech which Lord Palmerston ad dressed to the electors was chiefly in answer to one Mae by Mr. Harney. In the course of it he said " Mr. Easy alluded to meet first personally, though not in•dieWnwlesall manner, on the expenditure which I moss ea my stance is Ireland, the amount of which, however, be hee emaggerstsd. He said that though I went to a af tis mdlay there. I gained increased profits by it. lam tai say outlay is not altogether so satiafactory a matter; red though I know that I have laid out a portion of my income's order to afford employment to my poorer tenants, yet I eanuot bout that it has much increased my income by repayment. But the allusion has further been made to those small sums— 'that is small though proportioned to my means—which, from time to time, I have offered to the charities of this bo rough. The mover of the nomination of Mr. Barney objected to the amount of those contributions, and he also furnished an argument which, if you accept as just, is much more. in favour of your electing me than Mr. Harney. (Cheers and laughter.) He said, ' Lord Palmerston holds a valuable ettice, and is bound whoa ever there is a subscription at Tiverton, to send'elown a quarter's salary.' Now, he did not speak with regard to the future, but with regard to the put; and if hi. opinion is admitted for the pest, you will not be at a loss to draw conclasions for the future. But I beg leave, for my own protection, to dissent altogether from his recommendation. I cannot admit that obligation, and, therefore, gentlemen, if any man here purposes to vote for um on the understanding suggested, that I ant to give a quarter's salary to any sub scription going on at Tivertoc, I beg that he will reconsider the groan& of his support. (Cheers and. laughter.) Ido not bas my claim to your confidence on any such matter." Is farther reference to the recent famine, his lordship added: " The great business of the session was to afford a remedy to the greatest privation that a great nation has ever yet been visited with. I say, a great nation,' because, like Mr. Harney, I east away with disdain the local distinctions be tween Baglishman and Irishman attaching to them on &g -amut of their living on different sides of the channel. (Hoar.) I say that we are one people, living under the some laws, enjoying the same system of commercial inter sane, and animated, I trust, by the same mutual feelings of brotherly affection. (Cheers.) Well, then, what hap pealed in Ireland ? Why, the same thing which happened in many parts of England, hut with far greater intensity la Well; and still more fatally in its consequences. The potato crop failed in Iteland, and in England also, and great end dreadful were the sufferings of many honest people. But in England there is more or leas employment for those who are walling to labour. In England there is a peer-law, whether the best, or not the best, is a matter of ihmusaion; but I say there is in England a provision for the destitute which can afford a remedy in times of pressure. In Ire land the case was different. In Ireland you have, in many peat, a population grown up without relation to the tabour which those places can furnish, and without reference to the employment of that labour. In the manulac tering districts of England this population has some determinate reference to the demand for labour ; but in Ireland the case is very different. Every individual in that country who is a landholder of the ordinary class, tills a small patch of soil, which in general constitutes his only source of income. Farmers take three, or four, or five acres, which they always subdivide into portions for their children, and give to them on their marriage. or on their coming of age. For this bud they pay rents, which, what ever else may be said of them, are certainly not exhorbi taut. They are content with what they grow, and the labourers frequently receive money for the potatoes that are to he their food. There you can see the extent of the disaster which must fall on a people num bering two or three millions, when they had the pota toes that are to be their food either rot in the ground or vanish before their eyes. You have known miseries here, but none of you can imagine what has occurred in Ireland. Visited by the most dreadful scarcity of food, the aged and the infirm were the first to fall victims to its distressing ravages—the children have died, and the weak have perished; the strong thinned and wasted away to skeletons, and then died in the most heart-rendering scenes of illness and despair. There, then, was a population of from two to three millions of men suffering under an accu mulation of misery so acute and so overwhelming as to defy the tongues or the pens of men adequately to describe, and forwhom no relief could come except irons the governmentof the country at large. With this national cata-trophe before them, what does Ar. Harney say? He says that the houses of parliament allowed that provision to come from the people of this country, and then entered into a sweep ing condemnation of Irish landlords, although he was ' pleased to pay me a compliment at the expense of the other landlords of Ireland. But, gentlemen, Irish landlords can only do good to the extent of their means ; and the same cause that deprives the tenant of his food deprives the land lord also et his rent, by which alone the crying evils of ti e tinsti can be mitigated. The population of Ireland is much thicker than that of this country in many places, and for that reason should be employed in the cultivation of the soil; but the money must be ready to give that em ployment. Gentlemen. it was the faithful and arduous duty of the government to assuage this great calamity ; and we now come to the mcde in which it was done. The same calamity as visited Ireland so frightfully, and this country in a slighter though still shocking ratio, oppressed at the same time every other country of Europe. The crops of grain were short, and the population in many of the con tinental states were reduced ta a condition almost of famine. Prices rose here, but they rose there also. The prices in some parts of Europe were higher than they ever are in ordinary times, even in dear years, in this country ; and it was chiefly from America, the remote coasts of the Black Sea, the shore* of the Danube and the Baltic, together with a few of the ...te mpt parts with which we have commercial transactions, that corn could be had, and that after long delay and in creased expense, owing to the additional costs of freights. What would have happened if the government had gone into the foreign market to bid against the British merchant, for the purpose of relieving the distrees in Ireland ? Why, we should have gone and bought the corn, and have driven the merchants from the market ; and they would have said, " We cannot afford to buy and sell, and stand by the losses that we make. We must have some profit on our transac tions ; and if the government bid against us, and mean to sell without profit. we shill take our capital to some other undertaking, and not supply the people of Ire land. (Cheers.) The only results, therefore, of that step would have been, that the government would have opposed the merchant wrongfully, which no go- vernment should do. It would have turned the mer chant out of the market; it would have been your money that we should have traded with, and it would have proved the worst possible policy, by defeating its own end. (Cheers ) The only course that could be taken was to leave the mer chants to their own trade, to let them become importers of corn, and for the government to ooetent itself with doing what it did do and what I am just going to tell you about. In many parts of Ireland there ate no roads, or rather, as the conventional Irishman would say,—" There are no roads, and those very bed ones." (laughter.) Govern ment bought from the storehouses of merchants in Ireland large quantities of corn, by the judicious distribution of which they alleviated the calamity in a great degree. In re ference to the Health of Towns Bill his lordship remarked, I feel the deepest regret that a measure of such rest conse quence to the convenience and 'health of the poorer clams should not have been enacted last session, but the result has been unavoidable. No man estimates more highly than Ido the value et such a bill, and if it had not been the lest of a session known to be the last of the late parliament, and if there were not other matters of great import which bad occupied the attention of the house from an early period of the session, no delay likely to result from the proposing of that bill should have deterred us. But when direolution wee about to take place, it became obvious that the public convenience of the country would be interfered with; as, moreover, it was necessary that the business of the election should be gone through before the har vest, we reluctantly gave up the bill for that session. The topic next adverted to by his lordship was the education scheme. I deeply lament, he said, that a measure intended by the government to act as a bond.of peace and of union, should have given rise to such unfortunate difference of opinion. But there can be no doubt that, on the whole, that bill is a great benefit to the country ; because, if educa tion be, as I hold it to be, the great preventive of crime, vice, and offences in general against the laws of the land and of society, surely it is the interest of all that u many se passible of the rising generation should be brought op us the paths of virtue, and kept from thole habits of disorder likely in future life to render them bad end detrimental members of the social body. I should hops, therefore, that both churchmen and dissenters would view the true interests of the country in that aspect. And if the want of education is admitted to be a prolific source of circumstances which lead to the violation of the laws, churchmen and dissenters are equally interested in the education of the people ; for when a house has bees broken MIN • robbery committed, or a barbarous murder perpe telleds IS netters but very little what be the creed of the Melina by whom it is committed, or ot hint who is the victim. (Cheers.) If there are objections of detail to the mater as it stands I am mare there is every desire on the part et parliament and ' the gomesamat to entertain them: objec t lieme, and, as far as pains* teopply a remedy for those that Awn declared to be bet. Of she likelihood of parlia ment's making a yroshisa from the state foe the Whelk clergy of Indent, Lard Palmerston mif— f math wish such an arminmssient could be effected. I am satisfied, upon a full oodiesYe of the circumstances of the ease, that it would net lend, is has been apprehended, to the propagation of what we eessider religious error, but that it would tend to the difiladem of political contentment. (Cheers.) My opinion is, that Reach a measure could be carried, it would prove to the advantage of ell chess of her OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Majeaty's subjects, and for all 'attains of the BM& emyfre.

Yesterday the poll commenced somewhat languidly, but Mr. Goulburu still continued to gain upon Viscount Amore half-past ten Lord Milton turned the majority in Mr. Goulburn's favour, and a most eiciting see-saw en sued, and up to one o'clock the majority alternated every moment, neither of the candidates b-ing at any period more than four ahead. The poll gradually grew bri-ker, and u this was the cue, so did Mr. Gmlburn's majority increase, until it reached 24: this, however, was reduced to 20 at five o'clock. Lady FeiMing, in company with the noble viscount, was present in th Senate House during the greater part of the time the polling was going on. CARNARVON BOROUGHS. The election took place on Friday last, when the Mayor of Carnarvon held a court in the Guildhall, in Carnarvon, in pursuance of the writ, to elect a burgess v represent the contributory boroughs—namely, Carnarvon, Bangor, Pwll heli, Conway, Neven, and Criceetb, in the Commons' house of parliament. -- The preliminaries having been gone through, Mr. Bulkeley Hughes being proposed and seconded, and no other candidata appearing, the returning-officer de clared Mr. Hughes duly elected. CARMARTHEN. The election took place on Friday. Mr. W. Chamber', of Llanelly House, proposed Mr. 1). Morrie.—Capt. J. G. Philips seconded the nomination. No other candidste being proposed, the sheriff declared Mr. D. Morris duly elected. air. Morris recapitulated his votes on every question, avow ing that he had opposed the income. tax as a tea which ought to be reserved for tunes of war; and also because of its un just and inquisitorial character. He thought it too powerful an engine to be left in the hands of any government ; and that if imposed, it ought to extend to Ireland. He had voted throughout iu favour of Sir It. Peers tariff. He had voted for the repeal of the corn-laws and against the grant to May nooth ; being of opinion that, as Lord Arundel had declared that he would Lever rest till the protestant religion was ex terminated, he was not inclined to pw: weapons into the hands of the Roman catholic by educating their priesthood for the accomplishment of their designs. He had presented 147 petitions against the government education scheme, and only two in its favour. He had voted in favour of two of the three amendments proposed, and thought the plan should be modified ; but was not inclined to reject it altogether. He had voted for the poor-laws, and against the separation of aged couples; for the reduction of the window-tax; against flogging in the army ; for the ballot ; for the admis sion of dissenters to the universities • for the.penny e against both Lord J. Russell's and Lord G. Itesitincntisi railway plans ; for the Health of Towns' Bill, and tho Man chester Bishopric Bill. They could thus judge of his past conduct, which would be their best pledge of his conduct in future. The hon. member was then chaired round the town, and dined with his constituents in the evening, at the Boar's Head Hotel. His reception was throughout the day most enthusiastic. EDINBURGH. The Declaration of the poll took place on Saturday at two o'clock on the hustings erected in front of the County Buildings. The crowd was very great. All the candidates were present except Mr. Macsulay, who had left fur Cambridge early in the morning to give his vote in behalf of Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Mr. Cowan first made his appearance on the hustings, and was most rapturously received. He was followed shortly afterwards by Mr. Black burn and Mr. Gibson Craig, both of whom were likewise applauded.—Sheriff Speirs presented himself on the hustings exactly at two o'clock. He said: " I have now, in terms of the statute, to declare the state of the poll, as it was taken yesterday. It is as follows : for Mr. Cowan, 2.063 votes ; Mr. Gibson Craig. 1, 8,5 t votes ; for Mr. Macaulay, 1477 votes; and for Mr Blackburn, 980 votes. Mr. Cowan and Mr. Gibson Craig having the majority of votes, I now declare them to be duly returned as members for the city of Edict burgh, and make proclamation accordingly." Mr. COWAN then presented himself. He said "We met, or rather we parted, here just forty-eight hours ago. Since that time you have accomplished a great work—you have achieved a peaceful and glorious triumph. For the honour you have conferred upon me—an honour equally unex pected and unsolicited—accept my warmest thanks. We were entirely unprepared. Our remembrance of former elections was that of either our bon. friends on the other side being unopposed, or, in the event of a contest, of their being re turned by triumphant majorities. So late, therefore as yes terdaymorning, I had but little idea of occupying the place which I now do. In fact, I bad every reason to believe that, if not at the bottom of the poll, which was told me by the other side, I should be far indeed from the top of it. I hart to thank you that I have succeeded in carrying the election by upwards of two thousand votes in my favour. I had no idea that I hnd so many kind and zealous friends in Edin burgh." The hon. gentleman concluded by again thanking his supporters . Mr.ioe CRAIG was received with mingled applause and disapprobation. He said : " Gentlemen ! I also have to return you my most grateful thanks for having again re turned me, and for the third time, as your representative to parliament. I will not conceal from you, gentlemen, that I have witnessed the event of the last two days with consider. able regret and surprise. (Hines.) You have discharged from your service a man who has done honour to the repre sentation of this city. ( Hisses and applause.) I find, also, that against me, who have so faithfully served you, both in this city and county, for so many . years, a majority of the electors have recorded their votes in preference of another liberal candidate. This, gentlemen, is no great encourage ment to public men to undertake the arduous duties of their position, and I am afraid that I can only look upon it as an in timation to ma—(great laughter)—that I also have been long enough your representative. (Applause, and cries of" No, no,' "Yee, yin.") I did not intrude myseduponthis constituency —I was invited by you unanimously to come forward. A second time yeu unanimously returned me to parliament; and I am not sure, if you had sent me into private life, as you have done my honourable colleague, that I should not have submitted to my fate without a murmur or a complaint. I will say that I was much more anxious that my honour. able colleague should have been returned than myself; but, at the suns time, I must make you aware that reports were very generally in circulation that I intended to behave to. ward you in a manner by which I should have felt myself for ever disgraced. There were reports industriously circu lated yesterday, I believe also acted upon to a considerable extent, to my prejudice ("no no"), that it was my intention to have retired from this contest, in favour of Mr. Macaulay. No proceeding could be more utterly unjustifiable, more nt te disgraceful, than thatany man should attempt to dictate to this constituency who ought to be their representative, or to endeavour by each zeanceuvring to foist upon you a can didate who was not the free choice of the electors. I say it would have been unworthy of me, or of all man, to have thought et it ; and I may say, also, that Mr. Macaulay is the last man in the world who would have accepted a seat upon such terms." Mr. Craig then showed that the course he was accused of intending was utterly impossible to be followed. Once the poll had commenced, no one could stop it. Having thanked his friends for their support, he retired amidst penal applause. ,• Mr. BLACARVILY then addressed the electors at some length ; thanks were voted to the returning officer, and the ! assemblage quietly diver's& • H AVERFOItD WEST. The election took place on Friday. Mr. G. Roche, of Truther-hill, proposed Mr. J. Evans, Queen's Counsel, who was seconded by Mr. C. E. Davies —Mr. Evans being un opposed was declared elected, and proceeded to address the elector, and said that the Shibboleth of the party to which ha was attached was " civil and religious liberty." He pro fessed his attachment to the present ministry as the men who have carried all the great measures of reform which have been brought about during the last fifty year'. To these men be confessed be was attached, but he would go to par ' Dement not as the slave of any man, but independent. He would act with those who had always been the friends of freedom ; and he had no doubt if they were allowed to carry out their measures they would prove beneficial to them and their children. The bm. and learned member was then chaired in due form. MEMBERS RETURNED. ENOLL24I ABINGDON ttir F. Tarslp c r . ANDOVER- COlOl. ONG ANGLESE4 Lord F.
