Lieut. avulsion, r at Falmouth, with the sails from arrival the Bra The following is the Ukase of the Emperor of R ao * to which we briefly alluded yesterday : Bycommand of his Imperial Majesty, the Directing Senate lesrdths repoe of the Minister of Finance of the Ist April, under 141.2,01 i, in which he preteens for due publication a minute, confirmed by his imperial Mejeste, of the 31st March last, containing the opinion of the Council of the Empire to the following effect :—The Council of the Empire in the department of economy aad in general assembly, having esamined the statement of the Minister of Finance relative to the layiue 'tide, out of the bullion capital of the depart ment of credit of* sum of 30,000,000 of silver roubles for the panelize of public tecuritiee, and acknowledging for its one part the utility of this step, because it appears a con relent and promising means of extracting out of the immense billion-fond (more than 114,000,000 of silver roubles, or aswly 20.000.000/. sterling), hitherto dormant, important sdeantagee for the empire, foresees no obstacle to the adop. tee of it, on this sole condition—that the said advantage' man In applied exclusively to the extinction of the various debts of the empire. " From this point of view, this measure offers the following rusks : " 1. That the bullion capital, in its fixed amount, is in no respect diminished, but only a portion of the coin in it re placed by eseurities equally solid and valuable, and which moreover bring in a constant income, and enjoy universal credit through Europe. 2. The quantity of coin of our bullion capital, after setting aside the past appropriated to the purchase of securities, is Salto enormous, that, judging by oar experience, and that of foreign banks, it cannot but be deemed sufficient for the un equine:l.d conversion of the billets de credit; but even should a necessity arise for the increase of the quantity of coin in the buliion fund, then the aforesaid securities offer end° every convenience, by the ready sale of the same for cash. "3. The use of the advantage which may accrue from such an operation, being exclusively applicable to the extinc. lion of th., debts of the empire, promises to the govern ment new means for the satisfaction of its engagements, and consequently a correeponding alleviation of the national burdens, Comb', ring these th ings, th e council of the em pire has given its opinion as follows: "1. From the separate capital fixed by the 7th and 17th paragraphs of the Imperial manifesto of the let of June, 1813, for the conversion of the billets de credit into cash, a sum should be set apart to the extent of 30,000,000 of silver rubles for the gradual purchase of public securities, Russian and foreign, here and abroad. " 2. Thew securities, as they are bought, are to be reckoned as belonging to the said capital at the value paid for them, and are to b.• preserved together with the ready money. " 3. Tho interest sr rendes of these fundsoaccrumg from these securities, and, in fiae, all the prof to of the operation, should be devoted to the extinction of the foreign and interminable ibis of the empire; but, in the event of the pureha-ed esenrities falling 2 or 3 per cent. below the price at which they were purchmed, a portion of the said dividends or moles - wbe rtelenti , d tO OW asemres of the bullies emptied, till bit:teals the money laid out, using for the extinction of the debts of the empire only the residue. "4. If, fit. the conversion of the billets de credit, a neces sity should be f 'mem for the increase of the quantity of tont, then the purchased securities ere to be immediately converted into cash by sales of the purchased funds on the exchanges of Etienne. " 5. But, if at the sale of any part of these securities or the redemp ion of them by drawing out, a smaller sum should b, realised than that at which they were estimated, thee the deficiency is to be made good from the accruing dividend., and, it thew be insufficient, out of the imperial treuury.—Signed, for the President of the Council, COUNT SCWABCROFF. " The original signed by his Imperial Majesty. " St. Petersburg, March 31, 1847." Letters have been received from Pernambuco this morning to the 30th of March.

TUE NEW JUDGES OP COUNTY COURTS.—NEW AND IMPORTANT POWERS TO 11l VESTED IN TRlM.—Yel terday the judges of the new county courts received a amine that the powers at present possessed by them, under the act 9 and 10 Victoria creating those courts, would be considerably increased under Lord Brougham's bankruptcy and insolvency bill, by vesting the jurisdiction, now pos sessed by the Court of Bankruptcy in matters of insolvency, in the commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court and the judges of the new county courts, in all cases where the insolvent shall have resided six months previous to Sling his petition, except in the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Herts. The judges of them courts, Ender the act, will have all the powers at present pos sessed by the commissioners in bankruptcy, so far as insol vent debtors arc crammed, vested in them. The 29th clause of this act gives the judges of these courts the power at present only poseenord by the judges of the superior courts to issue warrant. for the prevention of any debtor leaving England, in cases where the plaintiff shall prove to the satis faction of the judge that he dee a cause of action pending in a superior court, for the sum of 201. and upwards, in debt or damage, and to keep the debtor in custody until he shall giv.t bail to the sheriff, or deposit the amount of debt or damage mentioned in the warrant, with 101. for costa. The insolvent commissioners are not to go cirmit, but the judps of the county courts are to send am the whole of the proceedings, in cases of insolvency, to the Insolvent Coact, to he kept as records. The other classes in the act Mate chiefly to the reduction of the number of the commis- Scorn a bankruptcy, and to the abolition of the Court of ' Review. JURISDICTION OF COUNTY COIMPra.—A strong difference of opinion prevails between the magistrates at the various police courts, as to the construction of the late County Courts Act, with reference to the recovery of small tenements. A portion of the magistrates contend that the whole, Iwer of summary ejectment is transferred to the county courts, whilst another portion consider that the net I V,lly gives those courts a concurrent jurisdiction. Mr. n 4 , 4 the presiding magistrate at Bow-street, has been re 9,,,fted to obtain the opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor tsentral on the tuhject. It is stated that whilst the cost of a summons at the police eJurts is only 25., the expenses that aunt be paid in advance at the county courts in a case of this kind amount to 281.

The dadtemens sad *Wald decrease of government and other securities in the honking departs'' , nr, which together make 1,691,8741., is evidemee of the stringency of the action by which the Bank draws in active circulation, and strengthens its reserve of notes. That it succeeded to the incon siderable extent only of adding 160,6801. to the reserve fund of notes, and 136,039/. to that of coin, together 296,6891., in the backing department, we. attributable to the adverse and countervailing action upon the deposit,. Of these the government drew out 376,6141., and banking and other deprvitors, 879,2901. ; together, 1.255,8041. Thua the decrease of securities, balanced by the concurrent dean of deposits, left the Bank only 336,070/. bett r om real differs tee, so far as those items. Should deposits continue to be drawn upon and securities reduced to the same ratio for a few weeks forward, the Bank 'mold be placed in a singular position with both at a lower point than they have ever yet The decrease of active circulation, although only by 412,610/., will Recount in part for the difficulties of the money mullet. The dearesse of coin and bullion was much less than commonly looked for; bur, in fact, more would have gone, but, so there was no steamer laid on at the time, merchants preferred to wait rather than ship large amounts by the packet liners.

BEDAL6 FORTNIGHT FAIR, APRIL 27.—The number of tat Beasts on show was appa rently small, although an average quantity wu brought to market, the dealets having bought several, before they could reach the stand, at an advances of fully 6-1., and, in many eases, Al. per stone above the rates of last fortnight. Mutton was also on the advance, 7d. per lb. being readily obtained. One lot of heavy shorn Sheep quickly sold at 64d. The demand for in-calving Cows contanaes good, and prices are high. Holding stock tells badly, and few offered. Beef, per stone, 71. to Bs. Hutton, per lb., 64d. to 74d. .

There was a large sup ply of Horse.; amongst them were some good ones of the cart kind, which fetched from 401. to 501. each; there was a semarkahly mall show of hacks; and that deacririon, which three years ago said at 141. or 151., to-day realised 201. and 251. A large number of superior Horses left the fair unsold. The show of Cow stock was large ; but there was not so much business done as would otherwise have been the cane but for the shortness of feed ; prices, however, were by no means retrograding. 01 Sheep the supply was, u usual, small, there not being more than 100 in the fair. They were nearly all Leicester, and were offered at On. each ; but there appeared no inclination to pverhasi at that price. EXETER, APRIL 30.—We have main to note a very large supply of stork with the same exception so last week as to fat Bullock., which were sraroe, and commanded even higher prices than in the previous week, ss much as 11r. per score having been obtained for fat Beef in seine instance,.

There was a large supply of butchers' Caine, which sold at from 4d. to 6d per lb. A very large number of Sheep were driven in, which generally met with purchasers, at prices a shade less than last week. A lot of shorn Sheep were sold at about 61d. per lb., and priors ranged for fat Sheep from that figure to itil. per lb. Keeping Sheep from 3.55. to 40s. SraitTrOlLD-ON-AVON.—The first of the newly-established fairs at this i *rough took place on Monday lest, when a greater number of Sheep were penned than had been the case for several years put at any of the other fairs, a hick proves the feet that Stratford is well located for fairs (having good roads), as it commands a great supply, and the country round is not surpassed by any other spat in the kingdom. The supply of Mutton was of first-rate quality, which met with a steady and good sale from 64d. to rd. per lb., and, in some instances, bare or shorn Sheep realised even 71d. to 71d. Tire supply of Omsk was very limited, but the prices which Beef fetched made up to the seller for the deficiency in quantity, selling readily at Gid. per lb. - - - - YouB, AMIL 29.—We had a short supply of fat Beasts, which were all sold from 7s. 9d. to So. per stone ; the market had a good attendance of buyers.

The MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE was understood to promise that the subject shoald Imre the attention of govern• Lord STANLEY thought it would be better to leave the landlords and tenants to settle between themselves their re spective amounts of rates. A cooversation ensued in reference to the rating of tithes, in which Lord Beaumont, Lord Stanley, the Earl of Loran, Lord Ashburton, the Bishop of Oxford, the Earl of St. Der mas, and Lord Campbell, took part. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. On the report on this bill living brought up, The Marquis of WESTMEATH expressed a hope that a clause would be introduced, authorising evidence to be taken tiro wore, instead of by affidavit, in certain cases which were now Word in tke aster's office The Lord CHANCELLOR said this could only be effected by a general measure applying to all cases in Ireland, which were decided on affidavit. Arf t=e; a aVoiioonWritaTioa, the report eras received. ELECTION OF SCOTCH REPRESENTATIVE PEERS. _ The Earl of EOLTNTON role, and expressed hia regret that the duty of brinping under the notice of their lordships the abuses which from time to time occurred at the election of Scotch represernative poen, should have devolved upon him in consequence of the illness of his noble friend (the Earl of Rem ry), who, on a former occesion had drawn attention to the subject. However, a few words would suf fice to show the necessity which existed for some legislative iaterference in the matter. By the terms of the set of union it was provided that sixteen peen of Scotland should sit and vet. in the perliansent of the United Kingdom. These peers were to be eleetad by the peen of Scotland at the time of the union, their heirs, and encernsion. In the year 1708 a list of the peerage of Scotland, then existing or supposed to exist, was returned to this house by Sir James Murray, the then Lord Clerk Register Scotland ; and this return formed the union of peers called over at the election of a presentative peer (when such an event took place) at Holyrood- house. On those occasions the roll was called over, the peers present answered to their names, and then proxies were demanded, and the clerk register had no power to re turn the vote tendered by any person who chase to go to Holyrood-house and represent himself as the Bon, grandson, or lineal descendant cf any peer whore name so appeared in the scion rod. The vote of such a person must be received, and could not be questioned by the clerk register. In conse quence of the death of Lnrd Rollo, an electron of a represen tative peer took place with the usual formalities on the 17th of March last, and upon the title of Lord Colville, of tree being called, a person answered to that Mk ' , and ten dered his vote, which was accepted by the clerk. The Earl of Selkirk, who was present, tendered a protest against the vete being received, but as some doubt was entertained, the protest was not received and the vote was recorded. It was clear, however, that there was no such person as Lord Col of Ochiltree, rioting, though the person who voted under that name might be a very respectable person. Under such circumstances, seeing that such a pro ceedieg was calculated to bring discredit, not merely on the Scotch peerage, but also on the peerage generally, he should not go farther into the sub •ect, or detail the innumerable instances in which the same abuses had occurral, because he believed there would be no opposition to his motion, with which he would cow conclude, namely, " That a select committee be appointed to take into consideration the existing laws and regulations which relate to the elections of the representative peers of Scotland, to consider what steps should be taken to prevent persons from voting at such elections who are not entitled to do so, and to report upon the proceedings which took place at the election of Lord Gray, on the 17th March last" Lord BROUGHAM supp.rrted the motion. The subject to which it referred would be much better discerned by a select committee, than it was possible to be in the body of the house. After a few words from the Msrgnit of LANPUOWNZ and Lord Caorsam, the motion was agreed to, the eommiuee nominated, and ordered to meet on Monday next, at two o'clock: The house adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock to Monday next.

CHELTENHAM WA TERWORKS BILL. The lords' emendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. -----......_.„ At i t Vo. 209.] LONDON, E THE RECORDER OF WINCHESTER. Mr. B. ESCOTT had seen a paragraph in the Tines, stating that the late recorder for Winchester having resigned his office, and his successor not having been appointed, the trials of the prisoners which should have taken place at Easter, had been indefinitely postponed. Ho wished, there fore, to ask the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary for the Home Department, whether a recorder had been appointed, and whether he was aware of any means of remedying the inconvenience and injustice done to the prisoners ? Sir G. GREY had not been aware that any inconvenience had taken place ; but the appointment hed now been made. FACTORY LEGISLATION. _ _ Sir W. JAMES said the factory inspectors had specified three points which des, rved the attention of the goyernment, namely--the education at furry children ; the entemion of the act to silk-mills ; and the eating and guarding of the machinery. The right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department had stated on a former evening that he 'intended to introduce a kill with reference t i the first and last of these points, and he 'Louid now be glad to know whether it was the intention of the government to do so this session ? Sir G. GREY said there was a practical difficulty as to the education of the factory children, which he proposed to re move by a bdl; and with regard to the casing of mach:nery, it was not easy to define the kaid of machinery which should be thus guarded, and further reference must be made to the inspectors on the subject. He, however, hoped to be able to introduce a bill in two or three weeks. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT. Mr. FERRAND expreverl his surprise that the govern ment had not brought in their new poor-law bill yet, and inquired when they intended to do so ? Sir G. GREY said he hoped to be able to introduce the bill, which was prepared, on Monday evening, and a govern ment night would then be lixod fir the second reading. RAILWAYS, PIERS AND HARBOURS (IRELAND). Lord J. RUSSELL having moved the order of the day that the house should go into committee of supply for the erant of a sum of mousy in aid of certain railways in Ireland, Mr. ROEBUCK maid he had an arnendment to propose; and although he might subj, et himself to the imputation of being in the habit of casitling at everything--(hear, hear, and laughter)—he was Pure that he wee about to de that which the people would think right and just, and which the exigencies .f she country demanded. The Chancellor of the Exchequer asked the house to go into a committee of supply, to do that which he and other members of the g. cerement had said was highly inimical to the best in terests of the country, when the noble lord, the member for Lynn, proposed to ask for 16,000.0001., of which 4,000,0001. were to be granted the first year for Irish railways. After 8,000,0001. had already been voted for Ireland, they were to be called on to advance 6M,0001. more. He would read what the right hon. gentleman said on the oc casion he referred to. [The bon. and learned member here proceeded to read an extract from Hammed, hut was stopped by cries of " Order," and reminded by the Speaker that he was quoting from a debate during the present minion]. The right hon. gentleman might hare said that to advance money for such a purpose would be calling upon the government to become • money lender, and to exercise functions which no government ought to undertake ; that if the government dealt in money-leading, they would go into the market unfairly armed with the public money against private persons, and other objections of a similar character might then have been urged by the right hon. gentleman. The bill of the noble lord was thrown out, in consequence of the opposition of the right hon. gentleman and the noble lord at the head of the government, The extent of the noble lord's measure recommended it; it was not a peddling, pitiful measure ; but a very bold plan, whilst the proposition before the house had nothing of that character to recommend it. When the noble lord brought forward his measure, there wax no alarm existing in the country, but at this moment had not all the great commercial firms taken means to allay the terror, alarm, and danger which existed ? Was not the government in almost daily communication with large houses in Liverpool and Glasgow, and with the Bank of England? Had not, in fact, every means been taken to restore oonfidenae ? and, notwithstanding this, an additional burthen was to be put upon the mental ; the very same ar guments being used to justify it which were employed to put down the measure of the 0,.b1e lord. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. geatleman said that there was a railway company In Ireland that would employ fifteen thousand men, if the government were disposed to advance them the sum pro posed, and at • rate of interest for which they could not bor. row it anywhere else. Why, the right hon. gentleman, is repudiating the proposition of the noble lord the member for Lynn, to employ the starring Irish on railways, said the government wanted to relieve the poor, the aged, the infirm, the women an children—those, in tact, who could not be employed, and yet he now came forward with this extraor dinary proposition, with commercial convulsion (caused chiefly by the permute wising front the government having gone into the market and become large buyers, as well as their lavish Expenditure to tho Irish), with commercial con vulsion and hideous 1 aukraptcy at the very door. (Hear, hear.) He should more at an amendment " That the other I orders of the day be now read." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the proper course for the hon. and teamed gentleman would have been to have waited until the house had resolved Neff into committee. It would then have been his duty t have made a statement, and the hon. and learned gentleman might then have made his speech. He hoped, therefore, the bow., would go into committee so that they might wry on their proceedin,re with that rule and order which had so long been established—(2w. bear)—and he should decline laving anything on the sableet until the house had resolved iteW l into committee. (11w, hear.) After a short pause, no hon. gentleman having risen, strangers were ordered to withd"aw, and The house divided—For the original motion 253 For the amendment lf-189 Mr. HUME begged, before the Speaker left the chair, to exprees his great surprise at the division which had just taken place—(laughter)—and that so many members of the House of Commons were prepared to vote away the public money at the present time. (Hoar, hear.) His opinion was that the time for raising the debate was before going into committee, and that those who voted for going into ecm mitto.e stood pledged to vote the money for Irish railways. (" ?so, no.") That was his opinion. The only question to be dismissed in committee related to the amount of mosey that was to he given, and those who voted in the majority would stultify themselves by voting against the grant. The house then resolved otstif into a committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that though he had made a short statement on this subject to the home laefore. yet it was at so late an hour, and no much mis apprehension scorned to prevail respecting it, he thought it right to inform the house on what grounds the present pro position was made. It was clear from what passed during the former debate, that the monetary state of the country, and the propriety of vntir.g a sum sf money to assist certain specific railways in Ireland—suhjects distance though not unconnected with each other—would form the subject of dim cuation. With regard to the mouetary position ot the ceen try, he bed on the former occesion an opportunity of core et ing some misapprehensions which were entertained as to the state of facto, and as to the conduct of the go vernment. The present depression in the money market was not owing to the Banking Act )as was understood), but to the neglect of the principle on which that act was pasted ; and the alarm which had pre vailed in the city for some days was, in his opinion, utterly and altogether without found o ion, at least to the degree to which it prevailed. He did not mean to say that extreme prudence and cannon were not r. quired, net only ea the part of the Bank of England, bat on the part of all ether basket but the extent of the alarm was so greet, that it was cake leted to produce in itself the evil a hick it was designed to obviate. Since the last published accounts, the state of the Rank of England was materially improved. The condition of the Bank on the 24th April, as compared with what it seas on the 17th, was materially improved. Its liabilities were diminished, and the means of meeting them had in creased. He had a commulf cation that morning from the governor of the Bank of England. stating that since Saturday last its condition was materially im proved. (Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, enabled, on two aepaAte occasions in last week, to give increased facile:es to the money market, and the deputations which he saw re °state of things in the north of l i England the lt much r mere satisfied than they did three days ago. Many pennons who represented to him the alum wh cla prevailed, said that there were more beck notes in circula tion than was necessary; that more bills were d'ocounted than they thought desirable; and he believed that if the pressure had been more gra dual and not so sudden, the pre sent pressure. even if greater than it actually wet ' would not he no sensibly felt. But in consequence of the efforts of the Bank of England, he believed that the extreme preside* might be said to he removed. He need only allude to the increased price of stock. This might be owing to the cir cumstance of the unforeseen intelligence which had been received in the City to-day, the truth of which there seemed to be little reason to doubt. But besides this, the exchauges of the whole of Barope were in our favour, and the last amounts from America were of a more favourable character, and by the accounts received, the demand for gold from America was likely to be less than was anticipated. He was anxious to say this much .for the purpose of removing that state of alarm and dread which, of itself, was more disastrous than any real pressure could be. (Hear. hear.) Ile would now turn to the proposition for malting advances to assist certain Irish rsilwayo, with respect to which considerable misappre hension was entertained. In the first place, it was not in tended to issue exchequer bills or to raise a new loan foe this purpose. (Hear, bear.) Hon. gentlemen would .e -member that he seated, when propming to discontinuotbe system of public works it Ireland and to diatrieute to - el instead, the opinion of the government as to the expeelie• it, of fostering private enterprises, by which employment wou.d be afforded to the people, but not so much with a view of affording relief as fur bridging over that state of transition through which the people of Ireland had to pass. Two bills bad been introduced fur this pur pose—one for the improvement of landed property, fur which . 1,000,0001. wan voted; the other, fur the recLanation OK waste lauds, for which it was proposed to vote another 1,000.0001. The result of thew two measures was, that 2,800,000 t. were to he des ott d to the employment of persons in Ireland by private enterprise. Ile stated, also, whet proposing the vote of 8,00,0001., that a portion of that amount would be applied in adsances of the sine descrip tion ; for he had never stated that the whole was to be ap plied to relief work., or in giving feed. Having stated them thiegs, he was at a loss to understand how may persou coml.! have thought that he was obliged to issue additional exche quer bills, or to raise an additional loan. (Hear. hear.) From all that had been said in the various debates, relating to Ireland, her Majetty'a government came to the conclusion that, of the two measure., the most important was that for improving the laneeel property of Ireland. And, sceording:y, before the bill left the house, the sem proposed to be grated was raised from 1,000,0301 t 1,600,0001., leaving only 500,0001. available for the neaten t tion of waste leads. In the course of these discussions also, they found a great diflere tee of opinion as to the el ram es to be expected under the Waste Lands Improvement Bill. It was at lint intended that the big should be compulsory, but as there was great objection to that, they determine:. to abandon the compulsory nature of the bill. In ahandoreng its compulsory nature they, at the same time, abandontel that which rendered the =mere most available for practical purposes, and after many attempts to give the bill a practi cal shape, it was found impossilde, leaving it voluntary and optional, and not obligatory, to bring it into operation in the course of this year. The government, therefore, elem. doned the intention of passing this bill through parliament in the present ashen. (" Hear, hear," from Sir T.. Peel.) The result then was, that the stem of 003,0001., which was to he appropriated to this purpose, wee released, and beeanto available for other purpens, either for relief work, or :or advances toward. any other private enterprises in Ireland. With regard to the relief works. they had been discontinued as rapidly as possible. In Match there were 731,00') pere",ll,l employed on these works. Towards the ead of that month a reduction of 20 per cent. was effected without difficulty, bringing down the numbers employed to 579,003. On the 24th of this noonth a further reduction took place, and by the reduction which was to take place on the hat of May the numbers would be reduced to 280,000. He was !lad to be able to iuform the boars that persons who had hitherto been dischse-gad from the public works were übtozbed in prie ate employment, and ' that only the mall sum of 2.0001. had been advanced to the relief committees out of the loan that had been made. (Hear, hear.) Of course this would not go on throughout tl.o summer, became this was seed time, and more employment was given than at any other period. Strange as it might ao pear, a much larger breadth of land was laid down iu wheat, in spring crops, and green crops than usual in Ireland ; and in the east and throughout the south and southwest of Ireland the ordinary quantity of potatoes has been planted— ! (much laughter)--and lu some parts of Ireland not only did there appear to be a ndlicient quantity of seed peeves I but they appeared :main as an article of consumption. (In creased laughter.) To return, however, to the relief works. It was proposed to discontinue them with some exceptions. There were many works in an unfinished state, which it would be necessary to finish, and many of these were of an importatt and beneficial character. The report of one to. the government officers in the county Cork stated, that the works were not only beautifully execute 01, but of great la. pirtance, and would advance the civilisation of the distri c t thirty years. There was another account of the same de scription respecting works executed near Teske, in the county of Kerry. In the wilder parts of the country these works were most beneficial, and it was in such places that they would be continued. They proposed, however, to c :re tinue them as ordinary works, and not as relief works, to be paid for according to the work done. They would thus get rid of that vicious system in which wages and relief were so mixed up, that it was impossible for the one or the other to be properly regulated. Butthere were other parts of the coo n try in which public works could not so readily be formed. The lines of railway to which they proposed to make the advances were at that peculiar character, that it would he advisable to make advances to teem. lion. gentdemeu must remember that the line to which the larger portion of the advance was to be made was the great trunk lane of Ireland, commanicating between Dublin and Limerick, and Cork. It was a line which had been treated on former oceasiens with considerable foveae by the government. When the proposition for a lout was made to the right hon. baronet oppoete by the railway company, he stated that wine a pottiest of the line was so for completed as to become pro ductive, thereby offering su ffi cient security for any advance, such a proposition would probably be favourably rice ivezi by the Treasury.. Last year, it was true, the railway company did apply for 500.000 t. to enable them to proceed with the tine. They were referred to the Exchequer Bill LoanCOMMillii rt ./m..6n said that they were, at that time, ins condition to offer only 230,0001. The company declined to accept the offer on the terms proposed, became they said they could raise the money in the market at a lower rate of interest than the govern ment proposed. (" Hear, hear," from Mr. Roebuck.) He did not state this for the purpose of intimating his dis approbation of the course which had been pursued • and ho must say, that an advance for the rupees of constr ucting a line of that description was not like an advance to railroads in all parts of Ireland. The fact, that a portion of this hue was already constructed, afforded a perfect security for the whole of the advance. (Hear, hear.) it O imo n ,: s eed p ra p ,i licati toy o wr n eer be r.erre i d n e. e d i mi d d i e tbo t ,d e e e bal l ii reac h A t t u o 6 Y rk ease s th Loan e u Psr the C i ;o s atm . w . :is-:: with any other, and to report to the treasury if they had not money enough to enable them to make the advance, sop. posing on other grounds they should be eneteed to make it. The Public Works Loan Commissioners reported that they considered the undertaking one which ought to be promoted, that they thought the scent ity was ample, and that Co, y should be inclined to make a loan themselves if they had sufficient funds at their disposal. They added, however, that as the sum allotted to them by parliament for the pur pose of making these advances in the present year was already appropriated, it wield be isnpossible for them to make the advance unless additional funds were intrusted to them ; and here again he mug be permitted to say that there w4f acme little difference hetween the government being a great money lender, and the placing an additional sum at the dis posal of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners. Now the
