The first motion was agreed to with an amendment moved by, Mr ‘ Waan—u as far u the saws could be made out."

In the meantime we throw out for it text, that the end mid object of all the stir about the fat farmers - having now less Port and Punch than during the war,, is to increase the price of the quartern loaf; and we• appeal to the whole manufacturing interests of the kingdom whe ther the present rate of wages can admit of any in• crease,without encroaching on the capital which they employ ? We also draw theit:attention to this fact, that the Agriculturalists are attempting to intimi date the Government and Legislature to grant an undue preference to their particular interests.— If the farmers are to go on with Petitions to get the price of the quartern loaf raised, the artizans, and the community at large, should look to them selves. and make it be felt that they have interests as precious to the welare of the State as those of the landlords—interests which, in a legislative point of view, perhaps, deserve the preference; for the value of all the property in land, depends, in a great mea sure, in this country, on the prosperity of the com mercial and manufacturing interests. Notwithstanding the professions which Ministers make, night after night, of their wish for every re duction that can be made, consistent with the public interests, yet, with a pertinacity which is peculiar to men in office, they contest every inch of ground with these who. propose lopping off a few useless places. In the case of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty, they were indiscreet enough to push the question to a vote, and were defeated. Last night, when Lord NORMANAT moved that one of the Postmasters-Ge neral might he reduced, the Ministers, unable to make any defence, relied on their numbers, and had a majority tantamount to a defeat, an entire defeat, so far as the principle and the feelings of the HOuse of Commons were concerned. Lord.NoustANav sheaved very clearly that there was so little necessity for two Postmasters-General, that one Nobleman (the Earl of CLANCARTY) held that office in the years 1813 and 1814, when em ployed on a diplomatic mission to tl:e Continent; and that Lord Cm ESTERFILLD, on being examined in 1797 before a Committee, and asked, in case of a ' ference of opinion between the two Postmasters General, how it would be decided ? answered, that no difference of the kind arose, but if any such had arisen, he supposed that the junior officer would give way to the senior. It is rather curious to find how the question was met last night. Mr. Romwson opposed the abolition of the office, because he felt that no sufficient ground bad been stated to induce the House to diminish the influence of the Crown. To this it was well observed, by Sir JOSEPH YORKE, that the influence or dignity of the Crown, in a loyal and well-disposed country, did not require to be bolstered up by half a dozen useless offices. Mr. Peat. vindicated the two offices on account of their antiquity : how many absurd and iniquitous measures might be advocated on . the same principle! The Marquis of LONDONDERRY vindicated, the office of Junior Postmaster-General as a necessary part of " the machine of Government," which, it would ap pear from his Lordship's speech, is like a stop watch, so nicely adjusted that the removal of a single pin will entirely derange it. Mr. STUART WORTLEY gave a more singular reason than any of the Ministers for preserving the office, namely, that if he consented to that reduction he might be asked to consent to some other a very singular reason certainly for retaining a useless office The French Papers of Monday add little informa- ' tion as to the late disturbances. Eight of the most active in uttering seditious cries have been transferred to the hands of justice. It appears that the number of persons arrested in Paris on the evening of Friday last amounted to 230. Nothing further is stated IL , specting General BSRTHON and his band of insur gents. The silence of some of the French Journals, and the obscure notices of this affair by others, affords strong presumptive proof that there is something in the aff.:ir which the Government wishes to conceal. Private letters from PAris, dated on Monday even ing, mention the closing price of the Fite per Cent!. on that day at 88fr. 50c. exclusive of the dividend of 21r. 50c. An extract of a letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, dated March 5, says:—" Advises from Waisaw annoence that an extraordinary courier has brought an order to the Gvieral-in-Chief of the Russian Army of the Wes►. to proceed without delay to the Southern Pro vinces of the Empire.

Brussels Papers to the 9th of March. They do not contain a single article of the slightest importance, unless an article from the Austrian Observer of the 20th ult. containing some speculations on the reverses of the Greeks, can be considered as such. This Paper, proverbial for its unauthenticated details, and its en mity to the cause of the Greeks, state that they have abandoped Arta, and that CHOURSCHID PACIIA is ne gociating with several tribes, particularly the Suliots. The account is, however, entirely silent as to the death or capture of Au PACIIA, and only speaks of his approaching fall . . , A file of American Papers have been received this morning, but not of alater date than those of yesterday INFORMATION TO MRRCHANTS.—We learn (says. the Baltimore Patriot), that instructions have been given to the Officers of the Customs to reject all cer tificates of goods landed in foreign ports, where a Consul of the United States is resident, and which come without the verification required by law under his signature, as well as invoices of goods paying ad valorem duty, no certificates of foreign Officers beifig of any validity.

On ascertaining the house where one of the girls lived, the door was broken in, and she was dragged ot't on the road and violated by those mon sters ! It is, however, some consolation to the out raged laws, that three of these hOrtible ruffians were apprehended on Wednesday night. A sister to one of the young women was a witness on the Crown prose cutions, at the late Special Commission in Limerick. Several houses have been attacked and their win dows demolished, in the counties of Limerick, Kerry, Clare, and Kildare. A letter from Edenderry, in the last-mentioned county, dated the sth instant, Says— " Sunday night, a party. of rebels, within four milei of us, attacked a public-house, to get at a farmer, of the name of Hurst, in order to murder him ; after some resistance, he got out at a back window, and was pursued ; he leaped a ditch, and a servant-boy who was with him took a pistol out of his hand, fired at the pursuers, and shot one in the foot. The noise brought the police tq the spot, and they .took six.pri soners, two of thern strong farmers, who were on horseback, directing the business. They were pro ceeding to burn the house, when Hurst made his escape. These men were committed to Naas jail yesterday. At the Limerick Special Sessions, on the 2d inst. five men were convicted under the Insurtection Act. The Judge sentenced them to transportation, and added I call upon the Magistrates to stand to their posts, and to discharge their duty with firmness and vigour." His Lordship then said, " Mr. Sheriff, you have the cars in readiness to take the prisoner's forthwith to be transported ?" 1 have, my Lord." The prisoners were then bolted ; the streets were crowded, the windows of the different houses were full, the greatest demonstrations of sobbing, as if it were a funeral, were manifested by the populace.— One of the prisoners took off his hat and cheered the populace. %There were twenty-four infantry and sig cavalry in attendance.; and, the Whole shad the ap pearance of an execution. It is reported in Ennis, that £4QOO.waS takes' fro. the Rev. Mr. Parker,. of Ballyvally; to tits county of Clare, on Monday night.

MEETING OF THE FIREEHOLDE•RS OF MIDDLE.SEX. This morning, a Meeting of the Freeholders of the County a Middierez took place at the Mermaid Tavern, Haeltney,!o taka into consideration the system of enormous Taxation, the pre sent Distressed State of the Country, &c. A , twelve o'clocli :he great room was nearly MIA by a numerous and respectable tiudy of Freeholders. Amongst the Noblemen and Gentlemen pre,et:t were—the Duke of Bedford, Lord John Russell, Sir F. Messrs. Hobhouse, P. Moore, Whitbread, Lamb, Altlerrn::n Wood, Ste. The Sheriff (Garrett) arrived at twelve. 'lnc num bet still increasing, much caution is used to prevent the h' pr o per introduction of Non-freeholders into the room. Th:! was just proceeding to business when our Reporter Lft the AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. • : 111111••• eN.IIIIII • . (Prom the 'Minas, Sunday Yeteepaper). It kg Itinartable fact, that in the great outcry which a; r'::. sent exist, about Agricultural Distress, the farmers of 570t1.r..1 tgke Qo part ; we believe there has not been a single Scottub petition to either House of Parliament on the subject. The Morning armlet:: had lately some very sensible remarks, tend ing to aim that the distress peculiar to the English farmer is, i:1 no small degree owing to the expensive and wasteful system husbandry whi ch be pursues, in spite of all that has been titre by agricultural writers and societies, to correct and improve habits. The County Herald of Friday last, furnishes a fz:: %Wats may be regarded as decides of the truth of this view t: the case.' " An experhnent," we are told, " was lately trie.l in order to ascertain the thifereoce between the working of t:ie 1 long mould-boarded plough (used within 25 miles of London , with four bqrses, a man and driver, and a common light Scotch plough, with a pair of carriage horses and reins. The rest::: turned out; that the pair of horses ploughed in six hours, oie acre, nine inches deep by twenty, walking at the late of Pere miles an hour; thefour hoists ploughed ias/f an acre, seikni::,..hee deep by nine, stepping two miles an hour." Of tours;, four horses with the heavy English plough can only do hay the work of a pair of horses with the light Scotch plough, ch , le.l than eight horses and two ploughs must be usually required br some English farmers to perform what the Scotch do with two horses and one plough. Here theu are six horses and our Vout . , the expense,' which inizle positively semi, and whit& we vay :a round numbers estimate thus: Annual interest of £l4O, probable coat of six horses . . and plough -' - - - - .i's 0 0 Annual subsistence of horses, at 10s. per week each 1.5 d 0 0 £l6'2. 0 0 Now we can scarcely imagine but that the- loudest-tongued complainer among the English farmers will allow that to save, or, in other words, to have a present made to him of one tun dra( and sizey-hro POll nds per annum for every two ploughs he now uses would be a very nice thing, and of quite as much avail in relieving him from his difficulties as either the Malt Tax, or the Salt Tax, or all the taxes put together. We bate net, at preser:, any means of knowing bow widely the use of the mould-boarded plough i extends in England, and how many of the now distressed agriculturists might be relieved by abandoning it ; but weave a strong suspicion that it is extensively enough employed to form, with other practices of dmilar extravagance, one of the most important of the real causes of the existing Agricultural Distress. May it not be a point deserving of Parliamentary inquiry, to as• certain, in round numbers, how the tact really stands? flow many suck ill-fashioned ploughs are used in England ? What other wasteful practices exist which ought to be exploded ? What the farmer tells us that he will be infallibly ruined If we do not something or other to relieve him, can he think us either saucy or unkind if we first ask him if he has done all that is in his own power to svert such a crisis? You demand retrenchrreot in the public expenditure,—have you done all that is practicable, . . fair, and reasonable in the way ok retrenching your own private expense? You say the public service might be done fur this and that less than it is at present: have you inquired at bow much less your ow% private work might be executed ? Economy is not mote an excellence and a duty in public than in private life; and it must prevail equally, in both, bifore either the Bri tish farmers or the British people at large will be able to say that they have a shilling to spare. But, perhaps, we shall be told, that as, according to my Lord Liverpool, too much corn on hand is the real cause of low prices and unpaid rents, were every farmer, who can do with six hbrses less than he now employs, to put them out of the way, it would throw on the market the quantity of coca which these horses consumed, and thus reduce prices still lower than ever. That such would be the course of things we do not mean to deny ; but the consummation is one which, for the sake of the suffering poor of England, we should anticipate with unfeigned delight. We shall never think bread cheap enough till every man, woman, and child in the country can, with the wages allowed for hibocr. purchase enough of it; and, at the present moment, we are well convinced they can do no such thing. Raise these wages to their proper level, and, as certain as day follows night, prises will rise, and consumption increase, and the fanner of England agAiss be thriving and contented. In this way,—and this alone, tbo evil of falling prices, one of the greatest which can afflict a coun try, may be obviated : but let nu man be so foolish, so wicked, so unchristian, as to attempt to interpose any unnecessary [D crease In the numbers of the brute creation, between man and that abundance which a gracious Paovrnesct has designed for him. •••••-• II IPPPP7=7••••7 4- 7 , 7 l 7.4wllipurrirraplikorprn7. im-7.77,...mr-17.7.7 -.• •--79:crpriw, - --77-7.11r7.

Mr. BROG DEN brought up the Report of the Mutiny Bill, the A mendments of which were read a second time and agreed to. Mr. lIU ME observed, that the Noble Lotd (Palmerston) had stated on a former occasion, that the Articles of War were a part of the law of the land ; he wished to ask now whether the Judges had ever pronounced an opinion to that effect, or whether, on the contrary, in the cause of Horton and Ward, an opposite opinion wss not delivered ? Lord P A LMERSTON referred to the Act of Parliament which declared that the Courts of Law should take cognizance of the Articles of War ; and argued, that if a man were ordered to be flogged. under the Articles of War, no Court of Law could supersede the punishment ; it was not, therefore, too much to say that the Articles of War were pan of the law of the land. Ile, did not remember the particular case alluded to. Mr. II UM E said, it was the case of a soldier who was or dered to be punished for not subscribing a certain sum of money 'towards the maintenance of a school, and Sir James Mansfield, who tried the cause, decided that such a punishment should not take place. 1h SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed, that no Court- Dlartial had aright, under the Articles of War, to punish a man for such a cause, and it was on that ground the Learned Judge bad stated an opinion, the principle of which had been miscon ceived.—Ordered to he read a third time to-morrow. SMUGGLERS ' COMMITNIENT BILL. Mr. LUSH INGTON moved, that the Order of the Day for into a Committee on this Bill, be postponed till to-morrow. %Ir. LA %I BTON asked. in what way it was intended to change the nature of this Bill? As It at present stood a more scandaldus measure was never brought into that House, as it went to deprive smugghrß of the right of Habeas Corpus. The SO LIC !TOR- G EN ERA L said, it was intended to pro vide that the evidence upon which a party was committed sheuld•be annexed to hi 4 commitment, so that the Court might judge whether cher! was sufficient to justify the act. ?4r. LA MBTON said, this alteration would remove all his objections to the Bill. After a few words from Mr. NVETI/ERILL, the motion was agreed to. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, d the House adjourned at Eleven 'Clock. \ THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1522. VIE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
