We are assured that the Provisional Government yesterday received a telegraphic despatch, announcing that the army of the Alps had entered Savoy. The greatest uncertainty prevails as to the probable president of the Assembly. The names however of M.M. Itecurt (Adjoint to the Mayor of Paris), and M. Senard (Procureur-General at Rouen), are men tioned. A report ie circulated that M. Thiers will be put up ibe some one of the numerous departments to be va cated by M. Lamartine. The incendiary placards and publications with which Paris has been deluged for several days, have determined the government to adopt extraordinary measures of precaution. Several battalions of the Guard Mobile and a squadron of cavalry are stationed en permanence around the Hotel de Vile. Several companies of the national guard have also been sum moned to assemble in pickets, and to be ready to march at the first stroke of the "rappel." The following article from the Atelier, an organ edited and established by the operative classes, and understood to express the sentiments of working men, has to-day an article which has excited a unanimous expression of satisfaction. I subjoin it here, to show that, alth ou gh there may be among the working classes many that are misled and excited by the orators of the Luxembourg and the writer of La Reforms or Commune de Paris, there is still a number sufficiently large and intelligent to support a journal like the Atelier, who think and feel otherwise : If you are diseatistied because the popular element is not sufficiently represented in the Contitassa Assembly, we are of your opinion. If you ass Amnia Messes tried republicans, because able socialists, have not seen their nuns issue from the urn, we are of your opinioa. If you are Ms satoffied at beholding the narrow and impuiseent liberation of the old dynastic Left re-appearing en the political scene with a numerous cortege, we are of your opinion. And not only we are of your opinion, but we belong to yourselves if you wish to act on the majority, and oblige it by all the means of the press, the spoken word, and sWm,.._to realise all the institutions whisk the time w • Woes to you to prevent the ifsbetoes belastlill:teldee a bushel, to canoe every ides to he brought SertiWM, sled to Mow what it is worth by being aubjeotedto the lest of palls diemmaios. We belong to yea to give as to the wheel of promos to mein dm revabliestall Maim to keep its prontimeobeisavesityatf setbs t.seep um b ia nat is . amty, the working classes to at bat reseal the ollabour. But if there are any amongst you who are as willing, or who do not know bow, to make urns of the power ful mans given to every one by the liberty to speak, to write, to meet—if there are any who are inelined to proceed under the republic as they were forced to proceed under the mo narchy, by an appeal to arms ; if there are any who think of such means, we are not with them—we are against them; we shall colander them as enemies, and we shall treat them as usurpers of the sovereignty belonging to the people. As. *tiredly we should have so much the leas hesitation in de claring against those of whom we speak that we should believe them moved by a purely personal ambition, and altogether d,prived of the legitimate ambition of bringing about the triumph of ideas. Men with ideas, men of conviction, have at present so wide • career open before them that they can not in any manner jur ity having recourse to violence ; be sides, they do not think of it. As to the constituent auem bly, it is evident, to behold the names composing it, that a very ardent desire to realise all that socialism can offer as reasonably realisable at present is not to be expected ; but it is your duty—the duty of in all who wish to see bond fide social reforms carried out, and wish it energetically, to state what On y are, and to show the means of applicauon— it is the duty of us all, sincere democrats, to prepare the work, elaborate the ideas, and weigh on the constituent assembly with all mural weight of necessity and justice. ' The ilfoniteur to-day contains the decrees of which I sent you the substance yesterday. 'lhe generals and admirals who have been lately removed from active service by the decrees of the Pro visional Government have addressed a protest to that body against the course pursued with respect to them. They declare that the law of Aug. 4, 1839, consecrate. the principle that such officers have a right to be main tained iu their rack, and consequently the late decree is a manifest injustice they declare also that the said decree hit creel attack on their patriotic sentiments and honour ; they deny the right of the Provisional Government to break the law which protects the army, and they affirm, in conclusion, that the decision of all the questions relating to the military force of France, the principal hasis of the national indepen dence, can belong only to a government definitively constituted. The Blink of France has lately received large sup plies of specie. Within the week ending the lot in stant the specie in hand was augmented Ikon 63,706,700 to 64,966,000. It is expected that c payments will be resumed almost immediately. Rumours are still afloat that the Bank of Franco had advanced the Provisional Government 30 millions in addition to the former loan, of which, it is said, 15 millions are for the putting the fortresses of the north on a footing of defence, and the remaining 13 millions for the army of the Alpe. A Marseilles paper says that : Several versions are in cireula.ion relative to the plot which was discovered on the night ot the 27th ult. Some persons who pretend to be well informed grate that the mem bers of the Club de Is Montagne had takes up arms for the purpose of attacking the post of the Hotel de Vine. Once marten of the building, they intended burning the boxes containing the electoral bulletins, with a view to thus obliging the department to have recourse to a new elec ti.a. It is dielared also. on the other hand, that the conspira tors, if we may till them so, intended setting tire to the city of Marseilles in three different points, the archbishop's palace, the prefecture, and the port, and to pillage the public offices. In order to plunge the city in darkness they designed, it is said, to cut off the gas by breaking the main pipe on the Place Cintellane. The matter is being now officially inquired into, and the truth will soon be ascertained. However that may be, about thirty persona, either of Marseilles or at rangers, ere arrested by the national guard and troops of the line, in • low drinking place in the Quartier des Chartreux. Loaded muskets, pistols, poniards, and inflammable ma terials were seized, and will Nerve as articles of convic tion. It is rumoured that important matters had be-en disclosed. Amongst the persons arrested are several na tional gusrds. In presence of that circumstance, which appears to us of great gravity, wo may be permitted to t. mmil our reader* that about a month back, when the Commiesiouer-General Repellin passed through Marseilles, eatuArts were given to a considerable number of citizens, who were hastily incorporated in the national guard, without ascertaining beforehand if all these citizens sa tisfied the conditions of age and residence required to form part of that body. The local press did not fail, on that occaion, to protest energetically, and to predict that amongst the arms so contrbuted, without control, a day might come when part of them would be turned against the inhabitants of the city ; but what is the use of returning upon afait accompli. Government hen published the following respecting the disturbaecca at Rouen : The government has been profoundly affected at the events of Rouen. lo accordance with his colleagues, the Minister of the Interior immediately Peat a special comelimary, charged to collect every information, and to convince himself by a serious investigation of the real causes of the disturbances which have caused Mixed to flow in the town. The republic has its agita tions, but the republic has its strength, which should especially display itself in moderation. The Provisional Government, therefore, has learned the news of these disasters with the greatest grief. As soon as it shall fully know all the facts—as soon es the documents which it tins received, and which it will receive from the judicial, civil, and military authorities, shall have enabled it defini tively to judge—it will, without delay, act with the impar tiality and firmness which it derives from its origin. The whole country will be made acquainted with the details which the government may obtain ; they interest all the citizens. The R6Prme of this day makes the following state ment, which is quite at variance with all the other accounts published on the subject : We have this moment received intelligence from Limoges, which warrants our giving • direct contradiction to the state ments made in several of the Perin journals. To-morrow, we will give a full recital of the events which have occurred. In the meantime, we can affirm that no illegal power his been constituted at Limoges ; that no set of violence has been committed; that on Monday, at nine in the evening, order was completely restored, and that citizen Trait, the oommissary-general of the government, was in the regular exercise of his authority. We cannot comprehend from what motives of interest certain journals have so strongly per verted tuts which might have been so easily verified. A letter from Limoges of the 29th says : Once masters of the town, the communise paraded the streets in armed bands, entered houses by force, and /ins ured themselves of all the arms which they found therein. I Yesterday they made some arrests. A flour dealer, who would not sell, to a baker said to be not very solvent, his geode on credit, had his house invaded and sacked, and he would have been inevitably massacred without the fortunate intervention of M. Bac. He was, however, arrested, taken before the Comite de Selut Public, tried at once by the Committee, and condemned to sir months' im prisonment, and 10.000 f. fine, and was forbidden ever to carry on his trade again. In the Club Populaire civil war and the levelling of fortunes are openly preached. Oar town is occupied militarily by this society. Men armed to the teeth insult and provoke the inhabitants. These men are paid 25 sous each, and they also receive bread and wine by means of boos on the Commune. Four ships of the French squadron, under Admiral Gaudin, have arrived at Leghorn. The admiral was enthusiastically received. Ile addressed the follow ing letter to the Consul-General of France at Leghorn: onsieur,—l have been so much affected by the kind wel come with which the people of Leghorn have honoured me to-day, that I desire that all the sailors of my squadron should participate in it, and I shall sail to-night to bring here the rest of my squadron from the Gulf of Spezzia. The sentiments of mutual sympathy which now animate France and Italy cannot but be in creased by the greatest possible number of officers and sailors under my orders witnessing the cordial reception we have received here, and the spectacle of a generous nation aspiring for civil liberty and political independence, with an ardour which exhibits no tendency to social disorganise tion.—April 24.

PARIS BOURSE, TUESDAY.—The settlement wee she principal cause of the rise yesterday, but as it was finished rto the funds there were many sellers, and prim declined. There was a general apprehension ; everybody was talking of tint di stur b a nces which had taken place in so many of the dernments, and the agitation which existed everywhere. The manifesto signed by Barbie occupied Iconsiderable attention, end it was canvassed in connexion with the articles of seine ultra-republican journals of the I morning, which made an appeal to arms, and to protest egainst the matte of the elections, which they did not 1111140 r favourable to their canoe. With so many m iasmata to civil war, no one dared become a buyer, and many holders endeavoured to sell. Hanover, el - the situation of affairs was grave, a general couriers ' prevailed that it was only temporary, and that the premium of the national amenably, which is to meet the day idler to- Mlnfow, would re-establish security. The:Five per Cents. I were less firm to-day, which had improved within a few days by the adjournment of the project as to the railways. Those who had sol d Fives to buy Threes when there WAD an idea of the creation of new five per cent. stock, bad commenced the contrary operation ; but to-day some large sales were made in both stocks, which caused a fall of from lfr. to lfr. 760. It was remarked as extraordinary that the discount of treasury bonds had diminished 4 per cent. to-day, when all other securities had fallen. The refusal b MM. Rothschild to pay the Austrian dividend Mks the subject of much conversation. The Austrian debt is enormous ; and the Mettelliques, which a few months since were at 112, have fallen to 45 and at 56the . It was said that at London it was supposed th divi would not be paid either at VinIIII. We still thick that the difficulty has arisen only from the remit tan of the funds to MM. Rothschild ce being delayed, and ie tlt a ge Austrian government would not gave the example of • bankruptcy which would produce the most lamentable edicts on all the markets of Europe. It was said that bad mews had arrived from Italy, sad that the Pledmontege army wee in a very critical &nation.

[THREEPENCE. the number of sellers wishing to realise. Neilways fell much more in proportion than the funds, and ell the lines suffered. The settlement was finished, and it appeared that the few sales that had been made for the account had been made with a view of actually delivering abares. The shareholders think that within a few month the National Assembly will decide as to the railways, and, amongst so many, there will necessa rily be some who are sellers. It is known, too, that many companies whose shares are not paid up, will be obliged to make calls to continue their works, unless they can obtain advances from the government. Strasbourg were firmer than the other lines, because it appeared by the re port at the general meeting that they were not in went of money, and that they could continue their works if the government renounced its ideas of expropriation. Fives were still more offered for the cud of May than rob, and there was for a short time as much es 60 centimes of backwardation. There was afterwards a continuation to 76 centimes. The Threes, on the contrary, after having had 50 continuo of continuation, were done at the closing with 75 centimes of backwArdation ; 12f 50c. were given for coutinuation un shares. It is the highest rate we have ever seen on these securities at tho set tlement. Premium on gold, 27 60; silver, 2 to 2 50. Ex- Ichange on London, 25 10, with 4 per cent. commisaion at sight, and 25 121 at 90 days. Advices have been received from Vienna in Paris to the 28th April, which make no mention of the im sibility of the Austrian government (which has been generally rumoured here) to pay the dividends due the let of May. The funds had even risen. The Pestria of Florence, of 26th April, says: The volunteers who, according to the Gaut*, of Genes, of 22nd April, are about to arrive in this part, are 361, under Antonini, eadientenaut of Nepoleovi,ergesers/ Arne and the means of transport have been gratuitously givefi them by the Provisional Government of Prance. They will go through the coast Della Lunigiona, distributieg a proclamation canine the people to join the national asso ciationto serve the country with their swords andintellig.mee, to live is, and for the country, to think and set tor her. We have confidence in the sincere patriotism of these brave men, and we have no doubt they will tend to consolidate the unive rat' unity existing in all the Italian states. 6,000 francs has been collected at Paris for this cape. ditinn. The same journal says : A body of Piedmontese hes entered Parma. It is said that the troops at Mantua are in want of water. They have sent to the environs for water. The carter, seeing the Piedinontoie, left his cart, and warned the Austrians. They attempted to change the position of some cannon to command the Piedmont who were not within reset% of the Austrian batteries, but the former opened is fire so well directed, that 61 Austrians were killed. They then retired, and took up their forme r position. The Rivarynnento of Turin, of the 29th April, pub lishes an address to King Charles Albert on the late events in Savoy, in which it says : The government has, no doubt, the right to demand the punishment of the authors of the attempts of the 3rd and 4th of March. But, sire, there is a voice which sometimes speaks more loudly than that of justice—that of clemency. The energy of repression and the unanimity of sentiment which characterised the efforts of the people of Savoy to de liver the roustry can leave no doubt on the opportuneness of the petition we submit to your majesty., The employment of clemency is at once the meet incontestible evidence of power and of confidence. We, therelore, your council of ministers, propose to you the adoption of the following dearer : "On the proposition of our council of ministers, we have deemed a full and entire amnesty to all implizated in the in vasion of a part of our duchy of Savoy on the 3rd and 4th March. They who are foreigners shall be immediately con ducted to the frontiers." His majesty has adopted and signed the decree. SALE OF ENGLIBII PICTUREB.—A very miscellane ous collection of pictures by Bagliah *Kist', the property of Mr. Ralph Thomas, of the Old Batley bar, was sold on Monday and Tuesday last, by Mr. Phillip, of New Bond etreet. The pictures, 181 in number, were, with the excep tion of a few very charming landscapes by Linnell, almost worthless. The largest Linnell, " The Cottage Door," brought 205 guineas—this was a picture of those figures very i much in Oainsburough's manner, and, therefore, we need hardly ad.l true to the rural life of England. A. " View in Windsor Forest "—the trees broad and fine, brought 991.6 a; " Hampstead " (N 0.181), sold for 701. 7s. ; " Haymaking" (No. 154), for 811. 18s.; " A Dairy Farmyard," a charming specimen, dated 1829, fur 185 guineas. ; " Sheep at a gate," an equally good example of the master, for 841. ; " Children in a tree," for 1051 ; Kennet-bridge," for 841.; and "Fish ing-boats at Riming'," for 138/. 10s. CORN.-BentaLEY, May 3.-We have had a very dull market today, and farmers had to submit to a reduc tion of fully 6cl. per 3 bushels in Wheat before they could effect sales. Wheat sold at from 18s. to 19s. per 3 bushels. Nothing was done in other grain. BASINGSTOKE, May 3.-Some good samples of hest heavy white Wheat were reported at from 141. 15e. to 151. 51. per load; second quality, 131. Iss. ; common, about 131. Barley was varied; best Chevalier fetched 36, to 375. 6d. per qr. ; good grinding, 335. 61. to 345. 6d. Oats ran from 21s. to 26e. 6d. per qr. Beans, 465. per qr. Bourne, May 3. -A thin attendance of farmers at market to-day, and a limited supply of all descriptions of grain. The favourable state of the weather for the last few days hu had a tendency to check tiny further advance in the value of Wheat, and purchases have been made today on easier terms. No alteration in Oats or Beans. Wheat, red, 44s to 495.; white, to 525. Oats, 16s. to 225. Beans, 355. to 375. CHICHESTER, May 3.-There was a very thin attendance at market to-day. The trade for Wheat wu exceedingly dull, at a decline of Is. per qr. The supply of other articles was trilling. Prices nominally &I la,t market day. Wheat, 465. to 501. Barley, 325. to 35z. Oats, 265. to 245. Beans, 365. to 38e. Peas, 381. to 401. Flour, 365. per sack. BENOERFORD, May 3.-The prices of Wheat ran from 425. to 545. per qr. Barley not in great demand, although• the supply was but a moderate one. Oats were scarce, and fully ss dear 275. per qr. was given tor the best Polauds, weighing 42143. per bushel. Beans heavy ; old ticks, welsh ing 66115. per bushel, made 465. per qr. ; others were to be had at from 381. to 421. Not much doing in Peas. NEWCASTLE, Mey 2.—The weather within the last two days has undergone a favourable change, and, should it con tinue, the recent alarm with reference to the appearance of the Wheat would give place to feelings of an opposite tendency. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and, although the arrivals from abroad are less liberal, there was nevertheless much less file in the trade than on Saturday, but the business done was fully at that day's rates. The general runs of Hamburg, red, touching 50s. ; and Rostock, 625. per qr., all:weightng 52 lbs. per bushel. O'her sorts selling in proportion. For Flour there was less inquiry, and fur choice qualities, fully former prices were sustained ; in warehoused parcels there was rather more disposition on the part of the factors, owing to the favourable change in the weather, to force sales, and the transactions con•equently were upon somewhat easier terms, but the reduction did not exceed 6d. per sack. In Rye very little passing. Malting Barley and grinding setae, fully as don ; end the ea:* may be said of Melt. Beans and Peas unaltered. Oats in better request, but so dearer. - - ROMFORD, May 3.-To-day we had a good supply of Wheat, with the condition much improved, and buyers pur chasing sparingly at Is. per qr. less than last week. All other grain a very small quantity at market. Wheat 42a. to 579. Barley, 30s. to 349.; grinding, 255. to 295. Oats, 20s. to 289. Beans, 30s. to 365. Peas, 325. to 365. Rye, 275. to 30s. Bynum, May 2.-Our supplies of Wheat this day were very small, and we have again to advance our quotation for this article 6il. per barrel. For Indian Corn, the demand being less animated than for the last few months, a slight abatement was submitted to. In otter things we make no change. The following was the general cur rency :-Wheat, white, 28s. to 31s. 6d. ; red, 269, to 295. 6d. per 2801hs. Barley, 14s. to 16s. 6d. per 2241 b. Oats, 10s. to Ila. 6d. per 196 lbs.

Prices were given as 61. per cwt. for Farnham ; Alton', 51.; Kenta, 31.; old, 21. 10s. CRANBILOOK, May 2.—The cold nights prevent the bine from growing very last. Tying has begun in a few young gardens. The present change is very acceptable. Some farmers, apprehensive that it would not last long enough for them, have forced on appallingly fora spring season, thereby rendering the result a two-folu matter of chance. WORCESTER, May 2.—There has been a decided improve ment in the demand for Hops on our market the last fort night; and the late advance of 3s. per cwt. is firmly main tained, with a tendency upwards. The cold nights of last week, together with the wet state of the land, has had an injurious effect upon the young plant, which is unusually backward, polling having only partially commenced.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT AND THE MEM like TOR MARTLERONR.—Lord Dudley Stuart has written, in reply to questions put to him from • meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras, to stets his intention of advocating and voting for the parliamentary reform and retrenchment pro posed by Mr. Hume. Sir B. Hall says : "The vestry may rest assured that I shnll be most happy to give my support to all measures of wise economy and salutary reform, and to render any assistance that lies in my power towards carry• ing out those objects, without reference to this party from whence any of such proinnitione may emanate."

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.—We have at length thi satisfaction of noticing a more cheerful tone in the reork sent us from the chief centres of the woollen trade of York shire, and in this we find the best augury of the cessation of the Chartist agitation, for the truth is universally admitted that a brisk trade is the best of all measures for restoring quiet in this densely populated district. Business is MON animated, buyers more numerous, and our merchants are consequently in better spirits. Stocks are extremely low, and therefore the increased activity in the demand mart speedily make itself beneficial] y felt is ell departments et our trade. la Leeds Cloth-haH • better hominids was does than for a long time past, and the promised !• soot ebetwing.

Iwo o' Clark. —Oar market opened well, and with prices which promised to reach the highest point of y esterday. Bat a report became current about an hour since that advices were in town announcing the entrance of the French army into Savoy, which was looked upon as equivalent to a decla ration of war against Austria. Upon this vague, and, as now believed, unfounded report, Consols declined from 831 tol to 834 to which are the actual quotations for money and time. Business is very quiet this morning, which gives reason to suppose that the account is now pretty nearly balanced, and that few fresh operations will be undertaken previous to the settlement on the 9th, or, if there be, they would be made for the next account, if on speculation.

(Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said he had received a letter from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which substantially corroborated the statements in the newspapers to which the hon. member re ferred. There had been a meeting of about 400 persons, at which Dieser.. Smith O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher were present. The meeting was attacked by the people of 1 Limeri k, great personal violence was used, and he believed it was to the prompt interposition of the military and police that the gentlemen named owed their personal safety. (Hear, hear.) CROWN PROSECUTIONS (IRELAND). Mr. HAMILTON aimed whether it was true that Mr. Mitchell had put in dilatory pleas? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that such plus bad been offered by Mr. Mitchell, but he bad every hope that they would be inoperative. (Hear, hear.) FOREIGN POLICY. Mr. URQUHART, in the absence of Lord PALMERSTON, postponed his question respecting Spain and Prill4l2, till to morrow (this day). LEAVE OF ABSENCE. On the motion of Mr. SCULLY, leave of absence to Mr. W. Fagan for three weeks, on urgent private business. On the motion of Mr. SPOONER, leave of absence to Mr. Plumptre, for one month, on account of serious illness in his family. Granted. LINCOLN ELECTION PETITION. On the motion of Sir J. Ilsnwitu, it was ordered that the minutes of evidence taken before tLe select committee on the Lincoln election petition be printed. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. HUME complained that the government bad not taken care to make a house on the previous day. He believed he might eay that independent members of the house showed I on all occasions a readiness to facilitate government business by waiving their notices, and it was but fair, on the other I hand, that government should act with Limner consideration towards them. Sir 0. GREY assured the house that the government had every disposition to forward the business of the house, mad to give every possible facility to its members as to inde pendent notices. The hon. member should recollect that on the very first day of the house meeting after the recess the attendance was so thin that a political ally of his own, the hon. member for Southwark, had moved that the house be counted. There could be no question that the house ought to sit on notice as well as on government days. (Hear.) Mr. G. BERKELEY said that before he moved, as he should do, the adjournment of the house, he had to make one remark. Yesterday was not the first occasion, by very many, on which be had known no house arranged, because some independent member had a notice coming on dis agreeable to the dominant parties in the house. (Hear.) He had many times been stopped in the lobby by govern ment officials, and requested not to go in, because such or such a motion was on the paper, w hich it was de sired to get rid of by the no-house process. On Mon day it was perfect], well known that there would be no house on Tuesday, beaus on Tuesday an hon. member had a notice of motion involving grave imputations against a noble lord, whom the dominant partite desired to screen. Now it appeared to him essential that the house, instead of blinking inquiries so intimately connected with its own cha racter, should prosecute them thoroughly instead of getting rid of them by a side wand, as in this case, or by referring them to a mug committee upstairs, as in the case of the Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire. He moved that the house do new adjourn. Mr. P. WOOD, in seconding the motion, observed that on bringing forward the motion respecting the Marquis of Easter and the borough of Stamford, he undertook a task aot of his own seeking, but devolving upon him as a matter of public arty, hem As polities which bad been presented b hiss sa the swab= ot h i s t i rt complaint of two-thirds the eleetem pt the la noraplaint. which he deemed it of NM importance to have tho roughly investigated at the earliest possible moment. (Hem, hoar.) Mt. BERRIES repudiated the impillation that the cir cumstance of there haring been no house on Tuesisy wee at tributable to a desire to shield the Marquis of Exeter's con duct from inquiry. He himself and many other members were tulle pet pared to vindicate the character of that most honourable nobleman from the aspersions eo unjustly direct ed igsinst it. Col. SIBTHORP denounced it as a prose abuse that a government with such a train of overpaid officials, members of the house, should, on an oecadon of such importance, have absented themselves from their duty. He had seen but one member of the government near the place, and that member, a noble lord, was not in the house, but in the pas sages, evidently on the lookout. Sir G. GREY said that be and his colleagues were en gaged in some important business at the time they were in tormed that there was no house. It had been hi. intention to cane down as soon is he wag disengaged. He mutt, how ever, remark, that the hon. member fur Glasgow was not in the house when it was counted out. Mr. HORSMAN said that a systematic attempt to pre vent the house from meeting had been made. As the house had consented to give up a day to the government, in consi deration of the great pressure of public business, the least that could be expected of the right hon. baronet and his col league, was that they would take measures to make a house on the only day that was now left for independent motions to be brought on. He hoped a distinct understanding on this subject would be come to. Sir G. GRKY begged pardon far again offering a few ob servations. The bon. member (or Cockermouth, who never missed an opportunity of casting • slur upon the govern ment, had stated that a systematic attempt had been made, on the part of minislere, to prevent forty members from being present yesterday. This he begged to deny. It was to be observed that not one of those soh i had complained of the default of yesterday had been present when the house was counted out—not even the hon. member tor Cockermouth himself. The government was willing to do all in its power to facilitate the bringing forward of independent motions, but it was too much to expect ministers to charge them selves with the duty of making • house for them. He believed that the real reason why a house wan net made was that members had not come to town atter the holidays. Sir J. WALMSLEY, in justice to ?dr. ld'Gregor, begged te sly that he was down at the house yesterday, and was engaged in the library looking out for members to . constitute a sufficient number to meet at the time the house was counted out. Mr ELLIOT protested against the new doctrine that the ministers were to be expected to charge themselves with the duty at making a house on open days. Hs had been down yesterday, and. no one had asked him not to come into the house. Mr. FREWEN also denied that, as far as he was person. ally e4neerned, any canvass had been made to prevent mem bers from making a house. Mr. H. DRUSIMOND also said that it was the duty of the 600 idle men who constituted the bulk of the house, te come down in sufficient numbers to prewnt the occur rence of yesterday ; the government was already overtasked, and could not be charged with such a duty as that suggested by the hon. member fur Cockermouth. Mr. G. BERKELEY said that he had always understood the duties of the junior Lords of the Trearury to be com prised in the efforts of making and keeping together a house, and of Cheering the minister. He begged leave to withdraw his motion. Mr. BERRIES asked the right hon. baronet opposite on what day he proposed to go into committee of supply, as the hon. and learned member for Oxford bad stated it to be his intention to twine forwent Lis motion on the first occasion of that kind that offered. Sir O. GREY was not at present able to answer the ques tion, hut would endeavour to come to some arrangement on the subject with his noble colleagues. The motion was then, by leave, wi'hdrawn. POOR REMOVAL BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. The preamble was postponed. Clauses 1,2, and 3 were, after some amendments, agreed to. Clause 4, alter a short discussion, visuals) agreed to. Some objections made by Mr. HENLEY were, by arrangement, postponed until the bringing up of the report. Clauses to 10 inclusive were agreed to without discussion." On clause 11, In answer to a question, Mr. C. BULLER stated that the whole question of the poor. law would shortly be brought under the consideration of parliament. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the house re sumed. Bill to be reported this day. SMALL DEBTS BILL. Mr. COCIIRANE moved the second reading of the above bill. He stated the object of the bill to be merely the sim plification of the law with respect to the powers given to judges of county courts to imprison debtors, and also to pre vent debtors so imprisoned from being put on the felon's side of the prison. He disarproved of imprisonment for debt altogether, and at all events considered the power given to county courts, of imprisonment for 40 days on each failure of .• instalment, a moat monstrous power. It looked as if there was to be one law for the rich and another for the poor. He trusted that the house would accede to the second reading of the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill se likely to interfere with the doe security of the creditor. if fraudu lent debtors were merely to be imprisoned on the debtor's side of prisons, there were many idle and dishonest persons who would prefer remaining there in idleness to making any exertion to pay their debts or maintain their families. He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. H. BERKELEY supported the amendment. Amongst his constituency, the working of the County Courts Bill had given universal satisfaction. Mr. CHRISTOPHER, although he did not contend for complete immunity for debtors, was still of opinion that they should not in any case be confounded with actual felons. In his opinion some separate place of confinement should be provided. After a few words from Mr. BERNAL, Mr. HENLEY supported the hill as necessary to protect the honest debtor who would pay if he could. Mr. CARDWELL supported the view of the Attorney- General, and resisted the further progress of the measure. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought it a nexuar► measure in order to forth the small debts courts to make a distinction between poverty and fraud in the case of persons committed • to prison for debt. • Sir G. GREY having said a few words in favour of the • existing law as rettaisite to restrain fraudulent debtors, • Mr. COCHRANE replied, and the amendment having ! been agreed to without a division, the bill was consequently lost. GREAT YARMOUTH FREEMEN DISFRANCHISE MENT BILL._ This bill being next on the order for " committee," Sir G. GREY suggested the propriety of its postponement until the Borough Elections Bill, which stood for '• second read ing " that day, and which in a degree embraced the other, should be discussed. A conversation arose on the question of postponement, in which Mr. Stafford, Lord Mahon, Mr. Bright, Mr. Stuart, and others, took part, the last-named hoe. gentleman appeal ing to the hon. member for Dorsetshire to proceed with the bill, and not to accede to the suggestion. Sir G. GREY said he did not at all object to the prin ciple of the bill, and only made the suggestion to facilitate and not retard its progress. The galleries were cleared for a division, but none took place, and the house went into committee, when another conversation arose and lasted nearly an hour on a similar suggestion to that made by Sir G. Grey. At length the chair man (Mr. Bernal) put the question " that the preamble be postponed." Mr. STAFFORD (who was the first to object to proceed ing with the bill) moved that the chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again. The committee divided—For the motion l6 Against it Mr. STAFFORD said it was his duty to lay before the house the substance of toe evidence on which this bill had been founded, and the grounds on which he objected to it. The only cases of corruption against Great Yarmouth were these which had arisen during the last election. It appeared from the evidence that out of a constituency of several hundreds only 14 persons bad been charged with bribery; and the whole amount of money which they bad received was 461. 10s., in sums varying from 71. to 10s. If justice were done, instead of disfranchising the whole borough, those whowere bribed and those who had bribed them only would boo treated. It appeared that Mr. Cogle, formerly a mayor of the borough, and who had resided on his own property, had been instrumental in bribing several persona. The bon. gentleman then read copious extracts from the evidence, and said that the whole volume was full of " Cogle," on account of the part he had taken in the transactions. Mr. Cope, Mr. Wright, Mr. Stack, and others, were implicated in the same way. This selection of a particular borough for dhiranchilement, and of a particular clans of electors in that borough, who were poor, and had therefore yielded to bribery, was certainly unjust : especially as the measure took no cognisance of the parties, who had led opinion In the borough,—the chief agents in these nefarious transactions. As long as the house acted in this way their decisions would command no respect in the country. The only just course was to pass a general act, making it criminal to take or ten. der a bribe, and giving half the penalty, which should be large, to the informer. (Hear, hear.) He did not oppose this bill because he thought it right that electors should sell their votes, but because he was anxious for a just measure. Without some such measure the house could never convince those who had no votes that they were dealing uprightly. A bill to disfranchise Mr. Coale and he only, would approaa . much more to justice than the bill before the house. Having already divided the committee he should new only protest against the measure. Mr. H. SEYMER said that a law already existed by which persons who gave bribes might be punished. As long as persons were found ready to take bribes, as long as they crowded the stands about the Angel Inn, as at the Yarmouth election, anxiously inquiring whether " election money" would be paid, there would always be parsecs found to bribe them. The evidence showed that three cm reigns had been regularly paid to the freemen of Yarmouth for their votes. Those were the grounds on which the committee had recommended the disfranchisement of the borough. Kr. PLOWDEN (u we understood) said he was ems. vinced that systematic bribery had long prevailed in Great Yarmouth. Mr. HUMS asked if government would be willing to take the opportunity of this bill, which reduced the number of electors, to make a reduction in the amount of the franchise to 61., with a view to prevent the reduction of numbers Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to my that he did not think it woad be expedient to introduce any such Sanas into this NM. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said this assure would be great hardship es inchoate freemen. The bill tiro prod through committee,and the report was ordered to be received the day. lan-STOCK COMPANLIG3 BILL.
