What then did we do? We proposed that relief should be gives by ea ex tend.= of the poor law. Now with regard to the poor law, it mast be considered that it is a law not rely • law of bu. he tire Ishii of relief, but also • lew of police fur the e l :i s kelemeselty. (Hear.) Those who have most considered wprlnelple of s4oor law end who have bad to administer lief late - pars, are Of whiles that the security of England Ihs ber, ii = mush founded es the provision that no have a eight to wader' and beg, but that ter. to apply for relief, he should, on giving work, emelve relief. If that is the ease in Englind we have • right to expect that it will in time work the same effect in Ireland. Every person who knows anything of Ireland complains of the number of beggen and marauders who seas from the purlieus of the towns to steal sad destroy pro. perty. A poor law sufficiently striageat for the purpose mum in a great degree temody the evil. But we are told that the extended poor law of 1847 should not hers been enacted, and that at all events we ought to go back to the principe of the law of 18318. It has been my torture to have introduced both these laws • and, had it not been for the nitwit, o' the loss of the po tato crop, I confer' 'braid sot be disposed to introduce the extended poor law of 1847. (Hear.) I believe that relief in the workhouse, but Le that calamity, would have bees sufficient. Bat you eon by no sudden step replace yourselves in the position in which you stood then. (Hear, hear.) It Le it the evidence taken before the commit tee now sitting on this subject that 360,000 persons, not Wangles to the able-bodied, but to the in ane poor were receiving relief, in January last, under the print:iota of the pelmet poor law. It would be impeesible to relieve thesis addition to near 200,000 persons who are now relieved in the workhouse. I believe no person will say whatever opinion may exist with regard to the able binned, that relief ghoul' be withdrawn from these 360,000 Meet poor of Ireland. (Hear.) If this has been their atultbee in 1 'wary, in the month of July they would be far mere aumetoue. It appears to me impossible either to afford workhouse amomodation for this vest number of persons, or so low as the country rema;ns in its present prostrate mate, to rear relief to those persons. Ido think, supposing the ematry to be able to aftod more work and emp loyment for the people is general, that it might be powitide in • great many of the anima to restri4 relief to the workhouses, but still is many parts of the country I believe it would be found impossible. The right hon. gentleman (Sir It, Peel) said that he emaidered the workhouse the best test. I rather under stood him to say that he would go bees to that test, but I did not understand him to mean that he would go back to it sod deal y. (" Hear , hear," from Sir it. Peel.) But be said that he would employ the people in making roods or simi lar works of that desetiptioa. That was to me to be at Variance with what litlrefd, and said wisely—namely, that the workhouse was the tears test of destitution. (Hear, hear.) The whole theory ore which the pre sent poor, law is founded is, that no person shall have a right to relief but them who are utterly destitute and eannot obtain food . or. the means of livelihood, in any other way. If you me tell m n that there is a public body who will give them work, they will prefer working under that public body than under • private individual (Hear.) But no public body, no guardian of the poor, no relieving officers, no inspectors, will use half the vigilance, 1 half the care, that • pnvate individual will who employs labourers ea his property working for wages, and who hes therefore, • direct interest in seeing tbat the work for whicli he pays these wages is properly executed. (Hear, hear.) With regard, therefore, to that plan for au alteration of the poor law, I de not see how any scheme of the sort can be adopted. The hon. patina= who had Just sat down spoke M improvements which had been made in the eultivation of laud, in consequence of which a higher rate had been im posed upon the persons whose improved their property than tome who made no improvements.

This is a question in ethation to which justice must be dealt cut to all parties con nitraed—(bear, hear)—it is impossible to enter upon ge . with any determinatioa other than to allow that every person who has just rights should have his rights respected. For bateau you mkht find that a person (the case is not a very difficult or cemMoated one) had left hit land to his eldest son, end, bilker issue hem that son, to the second son.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 3. Tams is weeping and wailing the Calton and Aar high plums - of conservative idolatry. There is panic and tribulation throughout the brood realm of landlordism. The. de'eat of the Sikhs. that timely anodyne to rick national pride--the abdication of CUARLES ALJIEIIT. and triumph of RADETSKI—are unheeded by theaquirearchy. The game priservirs bare other things to think of—there is insubordina tion in their own borders. The tenant-formers of North Hants an in full revolt—a catastrophe com pared with which the flight ,of •PIitIONAND from Vienna. or Louis Puitirrz from• Paris, shriek into ibeignAlcanoe. B.r JOHN POLLEN, Sir WILLIAM HRATIFICOTE, Mr. COMPION, and a few other magnates, had arranged everything comfortably for filling up the vacancy in North Hampshire. Mr. MELVILLE PORTAL was to walk the coarse: The constitumoy were not con sulted: as Mr. W. L. SCLATER told them when he seconded the nomination of Mr. PORTAL atWirchester. " In days of old it was customary to bamboosle the elector*, but since the Reform Bill that humbug has been laid as:de." Marvellous frankness! Mr. SCLATER I oedemas that he and his friends have been in the habit of humbugging the electore, but that they are new reformed characters and intend henceforth to exercise an honest and avowed despotism. The tenant farmers of North Hants appear to have had some inkling cf this before Mr. RCLATER told dam for they came to the nomination prepared to =against this singu'ar reform whim has con plausible humbugs (the word is Mr. SeLersit's net oars) into bare-faced dictators. They came pre pared with en experienced and tried candidate to oppose a young gentleman barely of age, who could not muster ideas enough to stuff out a plausible address, and was reduced to the necessity of saying ditto to his rival—as an ever-memorable candidate for parliamentary honours oree did to Mr. BURKS. "The only difference," said Mr. MELVILLE POR TAL, alluding to his competitor, " between his address and mine, is that he ham entered more into detail." And thereupon Mr. MELVILLE PORTAL proceeded to quote the various declarations made by Mr. SHAW, addng to each, "thin is precisely my view of the matter." If Mr. SHAW had been first in the field, Mr. PORTAL might have gained credit for lowing a polit'cal idea or two in his head, by pirating that gen tlensan's address ; but as he had unluckily to write first, his own is utterly barren. If there bs any sense among the North Hants electors, surely thee will prefer the teacher to the pupil ; at least till such tame u the pupil has had leisure to engrave the lessons on his memory. And there are some grounds for hoping that this is the view taken of the matter by the electors of North Hants. Saturday being market day at Wiuchesler, there was a strong gathering of tenant farmers at the nomination : few towns folks were present, the meet ing consisted principally of voters. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which Mr. Snow was received, and the show of bands wee in his favour. The same sentiment animated all who attended the market dinner. A stern determination to return lair. Straw is manifested. The landlords are angry; Sir JOHN POLLEN, for once, threw cff his wonted suavity of demeanour, and meeting on the street one of the gentlemen who spoke at the nomination, accused him in no measured terms of causing a split among the conservatives, which will not be healed for years. And what is still more ominous for the reformed humbugs of North Hants, many intelligent long-headed conservative/ not involved in the vortex of the contest, shake their heads, and confess that " SHAW'S return is on the cards." Who can wonder at all this ? The farmers are distressed, and begin to see that young gentlsmen like Mr. PORTAL are not exacay the men to relieve them. The tergiversation of the " farmers' friends" on the malt tax question—the barefaced jugglery of Mr. Dlsatues motion—have con'r.bute t to shake them out of the acquiescent slumber of years. And in their uncomfortable awakening many grievances rush to memory : fields of grain devoured by locust preserves of game, the dangers of precarious tenures of farms unguarded by a lease, and many more. Nor have they needed to go far in search of a can didate. Mr. STIAW war at hand, known to most of them as an able and popular writer on agricultural sabjeces for le years; one who founded the Agricul tural Society in conjunction with Lord SPENCER and the Duke of RICHMOND, and who has ever since been one of its most efficient and indefatigable members. We should be doing Mr. SHAW but an equivocal sluice in Hampshire were we to pretend that we concur in all his views. Even as it is, grave sages of Noodledom will strive to look wise, end warn the independent electors and tenant farmers of North Hants against the man who has our support. De pend upon it, they will say, the candidate favoured by the Express cannot be sound on tie qacrition of protection. We regret that Mr. Snow is not a tree-trader, but he is the tepee. putative and trustworthy champion of prin ciples not secondary in our estimation even to the great principle of, lice trade. Ile advocates tenant rights, and the abolition of game lam abuses. He advocates a recision not only of local taxation, but of that confused and vexatious system of local govern ment, itt which excessive local rata atilt wantooly 'profuse expenditure have their origin. Above all, be is the champion of the important practical truth, that it is the duty . of the egricu.tural electors to think for themselves in ehoousg a representative, and their right to choose a real man to represent them—a man with ideas in his head, and energy, and cramp to act upon them. Mr. Straw's return will be a solemn pledge given by the electors of North Hants, that henceforth they will take nothing upon trait in politics, because their landlords bid them ; that they will inquire, and act independently upon the convictions that are the result of inquiry. We are, cf course, attached to our own opinions; but far more deeply are we devoted to the cause of fear less, independent investigation. If the agricultural public will but begin to think for themselves, to in quire and reason, and unfettered byanthority , the and the real liberal; will soon come to ande each other thoroughly. And therefore it is that we bid Mr. Strew and his gallant supporters ().4 speed. The cause of parlia mentary purity and electoral independence is at stake in the North Hampshire election. The tenant farmers can return Mr. SHAW if they are resolved to do so; and from all that we can learn they have made up their minds to perform the feat. GERMANY.

SERIOUS FIRE AND EXPLOSION IN SOUTHWARK. Last evening, about 6 o'clock, a fire broke out in the oil and colour warehouse belonging to Mr. Tithud, No. 28, Great Suffolkstreet, nearly adjoining the Grapes Mus:c hall, Southwark. The building, although of limited front. age, extended backwards a great distance, and wire stored with oils, turpentine, sulphur, and other ariiclas equally com bustible, independe ntof which there was a large quantity of gunpowder in the shop and upper part of a warehouse. The fire originated in the cellar, but front what cause could not be ascertained. Whilst Mr. Tatted and his eon, a young man, were standing in the shop they were astonished at finding the flooring move u if shaken by a smart exple sion. They instantly went below to ascertain 'the cause, when they found the collar in one complete sheet of fire. They retreated as they could, but the flames followed so rapidly that they wets nearly eecircled with them. Having gained the shop the fire broke through the floor in various places, and ignited everything with which it came on contact.
