The published copies of . Mr. SHARMAN CRAW FORD'S bill have just been distributed, and, we must c onfess, that its provisions struck as as neither prac tical nor fair. We are by no means unfavourable to the principle of compensation to an outgn tenant for actual improvements made by him d u ring . his tenancy, but the a djustment of such claims is a matter of such practical difficulty, es to make it very doubtful whether the evils which it would seek to gaud wind, be not the more tolerable mischief. If, however, mach compensation can be adjusted, we feel no d o ubt whatever that it should be given only in the case of the outgoing and not of the nataying tenant. The practical assertion of tenant right in the south of Ireland is this— that the tenant matinees to hold possession of the land till his demand for relinquiehing it is satisfied. The plea put forward in defence of his conduct is, that if he had made any improvements on the land during his men patioe, the law would not regard him as entitled to any compensation, and that he is willing, if allowed to matinee on the ground, to say he will pay ma m uch rent for it as any one elm. The facts, - al most without an exception, are, that there is not even the pretence of any improvement having been made during the tenancy, and that many years' rent are in armor. Compensation is but just where there are actual improvements —lst them be estimated by a jury, and no power given of b e iszing an action to any tenant till his occupancy of ;h e bad has ceased ;—but nothing can be imagined d worse tendency than allowing an overholding Mint to retain the land as a sort of pledge for any each demand, be it capable et being sustained or ethervrise. The claim to be compensated for improvements increasing the permanent value of the land, rests an grounds wholly different from what has been called fixity of tenure ; and, perhaps, the great im- Frtaace of rendering the soil as productive as pork ibis in a country where both landlord and tenant WO to have strangely neglected their common in tent, may render it reasonable for the legislature to endeavour to effect what the occupiers have not done. Lord STANLEY and Lord LINCOLN have endeavoured in former sessions to do something on the subject, and the experiments made by them go far to show the subject to be a very immana,geable me, Improvements made in pursuance of any antecedent agreement with the landlord ire, of course, out of the question, as each cannot be the subject of dispute. The principle of some of the bills heretofore introduced was, that improvements mixtioned by , a board of commissioners, after notice to the landlord of the intended application, were to ler allowed for in proportion to the outlay which they involved. Such machinery would, probably, be found cumbrous and ineffective. We incline to think am action in the local courts would be the least objets. double course,—the right of action not to arise tall after possession was actually restored to the landlord. Its probable that there would be few such actions; that the right being made to depend on a tenant's fel- Sling a very important part of his contract, in re storing possession at the tune stipulated in his agree. meat with the owner of the lead, would de much to ' prevent all litigation between the parties. Where there is a really improving tenant it is a mistake to suppose that his landlord, in almost any case, wishes to get rid of him ; but in behead, is elsewhere, alterations that are actual); la. thievoos are sometimes ueaeribed by tenants as improvements. In the Devote commission a ease is dated where a man claimed to be compensated for building a mill on a site where there was no com mend of water, and against which absurd expgt tine he had been warned by his landlord. are cases, too, in which industrious tenants carry their pawn for improving land somewhat too far; and the Wlmd, who has his own engagements to meet, finds that his tenant is unable to pay a shilling, from having, without any communication with him, employed the whole profits of the land in improvements, which, often undoubtedly advantageous, are yet advantages which a tenant is scarcely authorised by . any abstract teams of what is good for the estate, in making at another man's expense. We have heard the late Lard OUILIANOPA when Chief Baron of the Bache gore in Ireland, complain of the very serious grievanoe Mined on a man "by improving him out of his_ estate.* In the reconstruction of society in Ireland, it should not be forgotten that the new take mint be made very much out of the old mate rials. We may, each of us, indulge oar fancies as to the advantages of resident landlords of extensive nuts, or peasant proprietors, either or both. We nay randy ourselves that intermediacy of any kind between them is a bed thing, and Tight to be got rid of. Still to get rid of it without injustice ought to be a necessary condition of the problem. To increase the pro of the Irish nobleman or the Irish far "by the dames that at this moment exist between them, is useless intermediacy, and not only • *try dishonest act, but a very foolish one. We think that the spirit of the government measures is through good ; and that, under circumstances of great diffi alt7, their Proposed legislation is reasonable, and to be efficient for good ; but we cannot feel in the same way with respect to the measures with which Ms. SHARMAN CRAW -I°ll° would, ea it seems to us, both embarrass _„ Peoper dealing with the subject, and, could we imagme his meanies becoming law, convulse society. His relieving the tenant from poor rates, at the same time that be makes the landlord's portioa of this rent , - charge an imam tax, recoverable from every part of hm property except that on which it is alone a charge, is in principle a melioration. If Ireland can bear an income tax, in the name of common honesty let it be charged with cue; and the more nearly in this, and in athar respects, it bears the mine taxes with the other parts of the empire, the better do we think it will be, not akne for the whole realm, but for Ire land itself. If an income tax be proposed, however, let it be imposed plainly, directly, manfully, at% at once all , and not by a measure sesta to &era of the ambiguities of languor to disguise from the legislature its real pair- Pose of tisasferring the property of one class in society to another—bribing the legislature late ecipussoence with a measure, that requires but to be distinctly understood to be felt to be plainly and °nit*, b the promise it offers "of foci& roe the collection of poor rates."

It is a fail accompis as much as the extinction of Cracow. Nor perhaps should we quarrel with one of the manifest results of the Reform Bill, in the influence acquired by the lower and operative classes. We cannot deny, that they are somewhat entitled to point out the particular mode of their relief. And their demand of leisure and learning for wives, children, and selves, is, for a democratic desire, certainly not arrogant ; it is fairly meant, and we have now bat to kope that the experiment may succeed both for them and their masters. It cannot succeed or fail for one, without seriously affecting the other. The hazards braved do not appear to us less serious than at first. The diminution of the value of ma ' chinery by an artificial limit on its efficiency ; the diversion of capital from factory investments through the feeling of insecurity ; the advantages ceded to rival nations where no curtailment is threatened in the number of working hours; lastly, the fear that the bill can only attain the end proposed at the cost of a sacrifice of wages to be made by those whom it should protect, were all enumerated in the debate. The result has been, in spite of the protest of every member connected with manufactures, a deci sion that these hazards are to be encountered. Yet we are more apprehensive about the precedent thus esta blished thi.i about the immediate effects of the bill itself. One result may immediately be foreseen, which is an universal adoption of all recent improvements in machinery ; and the, with the spur given to in vention, will probably in a short time bring in) our machine power nearly to its present effi ciency. But when this is done is there to be more interference ? Are we to look forward to a regulation of time and mode of working in every trade successively? Is hand labour to be brought in, and measured out, entered, and certified under penal ties to be levied before justices, like the hosiery enact ments of Sir H. HALFORD'S bill P Is agricultural labour to be exempt from curtailing enactments? Or is this to be declared a final measure ? We miss the opinions of legal authorities on the right of one portion of the community to prescribe restrictions to the legal and laudable exertions of another portion. This part of the subject will, of course, not go unchallenged in the upper house, where four chancellors, of various political opinions, sit in judgment. For our own part, we do not see how the bill is to produce the effect expected of it, without a supplementary regulation of wages. From wages, the step to rents and profits is short and easy, and the temptation is strong. We have given away the facilities afforded by paper currency to trade ; we are now about to give up an element of manufacturing power in a manner calculated to produce a similar effect. Let us hope that at least the appeals in favour of this measure were freely made by those who risk most by its being carried, as there can be little doubt that the silence of those operatives who may chance to see the tendency of the bill has been construed into consent The Paris journals of Tuesday, with the letters of our correspondent, have arrived. Various visits were in between the Tuileries and the hotel of the owager Queen of Spain in the rue de Courcelles. Her husband, the Duke of Rianzares, was received by the king and princes at the Tuileries on Monday. As might easily have been expected, a multitude of rumours and on-ditr are in circulation in Paris respecting her majesty and her family relations. No doubt is entertained that a coolness and estrangement have arisen between the Duchess of Rianzares and Queen Isabella ; the latter has, in fact, rebelled against the maternal authority, and repelled the officious interference attempted to be exer cised by the Queen Dowager, in the affairs of the state. It is also said that the young queen's eyes have bees opened to the real circumstances which preceded the marriage into which she has been drawn. The fol lowing extract from La Petrie will afford a specimen of the talk of Paris on this subject at torment : When Maria Christina bade farewell to the young queen, the latter showed so much indifference that nature could not stand it ; the ex-regent shed bitter tears ; and as she entered her carriage, she saw her daughter retire towards her apartments, un willing to be present at the scene of de parture. All that she could give utterance to, with a voice choking with emotion, was " lingrate !" For some time past the young queen ha s thrown off all constraint, and wishes to e a njo n ytrfect liberty. She refused to listen to her sou m mother's , and treated the daughters of M. Munoz with the greatest coldness. But it is not the authority of her mother abate that Queen Isabella has thrown off • she treats ::nil Ferdinand as if he war not her husband. When he retires to rest at the palace, the queen goes out to bells with her favourite ladies of honour, and, after • night of pleasure and dancing, retiree to her own apartments. A divorce de facto exists between them, and the mutual antiLth i z ir they felt for each other before the intrigue of the soon manifested it. self, notwithstanding all the efforts of . &neon and Maria Christina; and it daily increases. The king's conscience re . yswahr for having married his cousin, and on his knees macifix he daily invokes the pardcm et his de. parted somber. This state of mind of the king was kept up by a pines who was under the surveillance of the pollee, sad who has been sent away from Madrid. The palate has haseme the scene of hatred and of discord, and the most un asemlyworda are uttered in the royal apertmenta. Theonly sen. Henan Isabella and Ferdinand have in common is • violent maw 'plait Maria Cbristiaa, who brought about the mar lbw sad as • pease et the antipathy they nourish towards ireemasmed that try are disposed to enter into wham with Isedend. Omni Oresern, who is now in Paris, is giving the serrnmeat much embarrassment by his obstinate rabid to return to his post at Madrid. He insists on the hillipirnat of the promise given to him to renal him Om Spain as soon as the marriages should have been moomplishecl. The diplomatic changes which are reported to be in contemplation are, the recall, at kis own desire, of M. de St. Aulaire from London, and the removal of the Duke of Montebello from Naples to the Cabinet of St. James's, M. Erasion taking . the place of the latter. The police made a domiciliary visit on Sunday at the hotel of the Baron de Pignol, the object of which was said to be, according to L' Union ifonarchi fur, the discovery of the source of the pecuniary aid whichhe was charged to distribute to the poor. It was &mind to know by what persons these contributioas were made. This proceeding seemed to have been attended with no important alms t. Grain riots have again broken out in the depart ments. Letters from Pisa of the 7th instant bring the in telligence that a political movement took place in that city on the occasion of the arrival of the Archduke Ferdinand d'Eete, nephew of the Emperor of Austria, who had been civil and military governor of Oahe' daring the massacre* of last sear. In the coma ef the day crowds assembled in front of the ss where he was staying, for the purpose . of their disapprobation whenever he might public. The authorities called out the and dispersed these assemblages. At Waded, a loud report was heard, which spread alarm through the town. It appeared that a petard had been depo sited in the cellars of the palace, which had been diii ohar by • train. The explosion shook the build ing, Merilmg the windows, and those of the adjacent houses. A great agitation prevailed in the town. Placards were every day posted in the streets con taining offensive invective against the Austrians. The police were actively employed, and mortal arrests had taken place. The Grand Duke had decided to hareems the troops of the line. A letter from Algiers, of the 6th, mentions that one of the largest tribes of Morocco bad made an attack upon the dens of Abd-el-Kader near Seers, in which the Emir lost about fifty men. This is mentioned as one of the most important events which has occurred since the occupation of Africa by the French arms. The funeral of M. Martin du Nord is to be solemnised with great pomp this morning. M. Martin du Nord having died when actually a cabinet minister, it has been resolved that the funeral earnest, which will be considerable, shall be defrayed by the state. This has excited lively ani madversions on the part of the press.

The motiox was, however, negatived. A report was still prevalent in Madrid that Gen. Ora& was about to retire from the ministry. In the session of the Senate on the 10:h tile ministry stated that the dearness of subsistence in the capital had received their attention, and that measures of relief were under consideration. El Leo del Contercio says that 6000 waggons are employed in transporting to Santander grain for ex portation, and that an enormous quantity has been attracted there by speculation of the French govern ment, in which the Duke of Rianzares has a large interest A correspondent writes from Lerida, sth March, that all the inhabitants of the districts of Villa Nueva de Maya are in alarm, and expect from hour to hoar a Montemolinist movement. The soldiers have all been withdrawn from the district into the fort, to avoid being surprised. The Montetnolinists commit no }v illage; they purchase what they want and pay for it. The Levant mail has arrived, bringing advises from Constantinople of the 27th ult. ; Athens, 28th Heyrout, 26th ; Alexandria, the lat inst. ; and Malta the 6th. The quarrel between the governments of Turkey and Greece, the details of which we have formerly given, continued to be the prevailing topic at Con stantinople and Athens. It will be recollected that the steamer, Cuvier, brought to Constantinople an autograph letter from King Otho to the Sultan, and one from M. Coletti to the Turkish minister for foreign affairs, Ali Effendi. The purport of these letters was a disavowal of any intention to offend the government of the Porte, and a charge of serious misconduct against M. Museums, the Turkish envoy at Athens. The arrival of these letters was soon followed by that of M. Muasurus and his suite. Immediately on the arrival of M. Museums, marked personal attention and respect was shown towards him by the repreeenta tives of England, Russia, and Austria. The British ambassador invited him to dinner. It was *not until the 27th that the answer of the Sultan t. King Otho, and that of Ali Effendi to M. Coletti, were despatched to Athens. The Sultan expressed his wish to maintain amicable relations with the King of Greece, but said that the diplomatic dispute must be settled by his ministers. Ali Effendi wrote to M. Coletti that the Porte required as a reparation for the offence committed against its envoy that M. Coletti should personally or by letter make a sufficient apo logy to M. Museum, and that the relations of the Turkish government with Greece will be suspended until this reparation was made. The Divan has been mush engaged upon the state of Kurdistan. The moment of acting against Beder khan-bey and the other native chiefs approaches ; and all the requisite information necessary for the plan of the campaign is sought. With this object the govern ment has called to Constantinople Osrnan-pacha, com mander-in-chief of the army in Anatolia. Hafiz-pacha, the Minister of Police, was dismissed on the 26th. Halls is a Circassian by birth, and was the commander of the Ottoman army at the battle of Nezib. BELGlUM.—Baussu.s, MARCH 14.—The ac counts published by the National and other journals of France, respecting the excesses lately committed in this country, ere gross exaggerations. There have been, it is true, rather serious distur ba nces in several towns, and some bargee laden with corn have been pillaged, but there has been nothing like an extensive system of plunder along the banks of the Scheldt and the Lys, as alleged in the above Parisian paper, nor any wholesale incendiarism. . . HANOVER, MARCH 9.—The States-General have approved of the commercial and navigation treaty concluded between Hanover and the United States of America. Its principal provisions, according to the Hanover Morgen Zei twig, are the following : The ships of the contracting parties are to be placed respectively, with regard to all kinds of im ports, on the same footing ; but not with refenenee to the so called coasting-trade, which is exclusively reserved for ves sels constructed in the respective countries, or taken in war, but not for thaw purchased in foreign countries. The agri cultural and commercial productions of each country are also placed on the same footing with regard to importation and exportation. Accordingly, Hanover will abolish the import and transit duty on raw cotton, raw tobacco, rice, dm The treaty will remain in force for twelve years.—A portion of the new arsenal at Hanover has given way. The building cost 400,000 thalers. GREECE. The Courrier d'Athines, of the 28th of February, represents the situation of the Greek government as very critical, not only in the affair of M. Coletti, but also with regard to tome disclosures with regard to their financial management. By the law of 1843, the importation of grain into Greece is governed by a sliding scale, and the regulating price for each month, as fix. d by the average rates of the latest markets, ought to be rib fished in a bulletin. Since the Bth of Jenaary the ministry has suspended these publications, and has neglected, it is said, to attend to the quotations of the markets, so that the official prioe has been stated lower than the real market price. By these mans the import-tax has been maintained at a high rate, and speculators have been deterred from en terprise. These measures, says the Cowries, have not been taken for the promotion of agriculture in Greece, but to allow the sales of corn at a low price for exportation by a favoured claas of speculators, taus diminishing the store of provisions in this country. In the Chamber of Deputies, Feb. 20, the Minister of Finance attempted to explain the quotations in the official prices of grain as typographical errors ; but the chamber refused to admit that explanation, and decided to appoint a committee of inquiry. rd tarelah n* boimp art =therals ware ie dr latiorprar wird at 4,11111.,• sed the the Mrs with the iblietwthe ebreethirie:—"Tbedhare=reer. with agrees wed with the arilluies Ifailirtuser ; the re h salahrionx and the water elms and minimum ea any in the world.

THE RECENT EXTENSIVE FOKOERIES AT LEEDS are stated to have been effected in the most subtle manner. One mode adopted was to increase the amounts of dents drawn by themselves, after the acceptor had attached his name. One of thew bills for 671. 10.., has been shown, in which the figure 1 had been prefixed at the bead, while the words "Sixty-seven pounds ten shillings," bad, in the body of the bill, been pureouily written so far on the line se to allow of One Hundred and" bring subeequently praised, with out the slightest possibility of detection when the bill was paid into the bank. Anotht r practice was to forge the signatures of firms with whom the Glovers were known to do business (and on some of whom they frequently drew good bills) to drafts of their own ; in one of these the ac ceptance of a very respectable firm is attached with a verisimilitude which is most remarkable. A singalarly close imitation of the handwriting of the partite en whom the forgeries are perpetrated, is obvious in all the bills. That just alluded to is nearly 700/.in amount . It was thought at first in that W. (Borer had rotubly only been accessory after the fact, by passing forgot bids, but that in which the figure 1 is placed before 67 is kis own draft, and there appears to be no difference in the guilt of any of the three. There reason to believe that this system of forgery had been carried on fur a considerable period before its detection, and that various misrepresentations and frauds had been committed from time to time with a view to prevent exposure. The exact extent to which the Glovers have defrauded the com mercial community cannot yet be ascertained, several of the bilis being still outstanding. At host three of the Loeds beaks with whom they had accounts will be serious losers. ' Tian LATE COAL-PIT ACCIDENT AT BAN.NSLEV.—On Ifamday last, the investigation into the cause of the late seeklent in the Oaks Pit, of the Ardaley Main Colliery, was resumed at the court-house.

EXECUTION AT MORPETH. YVII*IIISy, the sive'ched men, James Welch and George Matthews, condemned to death by Mr. Baron Rolfe, at the late Northumberland essizet underwent their dreadful sentence at the county gaol, Morpeth. It may be remembered that they were the principals in two distinct cases of murder. The crime of the former won committed in the vicinity of Newborough, where he stabbed a man named Proud, who was return ing from • christening. The murder committed by Matthews, arose out of one of the many contentions ex isting between the English and Irish labourers on the railway forming between Newcastle and Berwick. Matthews and his unhappy victim, Daniel Hive*, were employed on the line. He was seen with another labourer, named John Hughes, to ill-use the deceased, by beating hi m with a stick. Captain Potts, a magistrate of the county, witnessed the attack, and Hives begged protection from being murdered by two Irishmen. Captain Potts directed the detention of emaaate, who were about absconding. Matthews then slily walked put the deceued, end taking • knife flea mike his frock, stabbed him in the abdomen. In lath eases the jury accompanied their verdict with a re servedtiof mercy. Tbe learned judge, however, di that he could not accompany it with any Wattle aseemniendetion of his own, for he mist confess that Ike way pow and existence of society appeared to demand that outrage' of this desperate nature should be visited with the heaviest penalty known to the law. Immense crowds flocked into Morpeth from all parts, • special train on the railway bringing a large number, who seemed to make it a holiday. When the bolt was drawn, Matthews' death speedily fol lowed ; but too greet a length of rope being allowed tO Welch, some very painful delay occurred ere he had ceased to exist. liEDYClnuomm..

Tito GRATE-TARD6 OF READING are described as being in a very improper state. A =respondent of the Berkshire Chronicle says— The churchyard of Pt.

The sukerahundant earth was awl for ailing rthe cellars, which this reduced the level below that of the &draining ad ; notwithst my road nu risen considerably, yet the acciundation of bodies has raised the eurface of the horying.groand three feet stove It. This part of the churchyard is 1514 was full; and indeed, this is not to be wondered at, when I out prove that the onl additional burying-groand for 32 years is an area of 5,460 fest, and this inchile• pet. which have been taken ; therefore, sup, ri,ool have been buried in vaults and other pre of the oid elv'ma'eaVoo= a w t hPle fser7(rii' of t "ri t rert' ft ir doubt *ail—this shows that the new ground was ray caleulatid for GM interments ; yet On or seven times as many Dave bete berried theft.

Lafont took his benefit yes. today evening, when, by special desire, the play of " Purrs le Rouge " was repeated, followed bye new onmedietta called " Leksin Acteur edlibre en Province." The new comedy is an amusing affair, based upon a very trifling incident. An obscure player, for one night, takes the place and the name of the great actor Lekain ; and this circumstance, with the discovery of the cleat on the arrival of the true artist in the morning, forms the plot. Alcide Tenses filled this part of I the false Lekain with all that quiet humour ia which ho se excels, and be was agreeably supported by hi. Dtunery, as • braggadocio captain ; and by Madame Orman as an old priesesue pritidente. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their suite, were present. There wu a very good house. PRINCESB'B.—There was a new performance at this theatre last night, in the shape of • drams in two acts, en& tied " Dreams of the Heart," from the French. Bone- thing better might with little difficulty have been discovered. The incident on which the piece is founded is of such a cha racter that not even good acting can make some of the situa tions appear either pleasing or probable. As might have been expected, the piece was accordingly in great danger at the conclusion of the first act. Bat the second act, with • well set scene, more interesting effecu, and very skilful per formance, saved, for this °comical, the fortunes of the manage ment ; and though the piece will probably not prove shit, it certainly was not unsuccessful on the whole.
