Would it give Ireland such a Y u e ., tm t „ anry as its fri en d s wou ld w i s h to see esta bli s h e d i n To be gime this was in 1825, and wonderful things ha d come to pass since. —(A laugh.)—Mr. O'Connell stated in his evidence, that the raising of the qualification to 10/, would increase Catholic influence, and diminish that of the aristocracy. The Right Hon. Gentleman :' III Y agrees in that opinion in 1825, but in 1829 he is self the person to introduce a Bill raising the qualifica tion to 101. That was rather extraordinary even in these extraordinary times. Air. PEEL.—I think my Hon. Friend would have much better reason than others to exclaim— A i"Permit psi ant e nos nos t ra di xerunt ."—(A l aug h . ) Y Ron. Friend comes always prepared with his authority in his hand, but I beg to remind him that he plagiarises a'nfetimes, and I would further remind him, that he him "lc this very evening, supported a proposition which would " to apply this Bill to every town in Ireland, and more Mon that, a proposition which would disfranchise the free l'"lder in every corporate town of Ireland. I therefore quote the H on. G entleman ' s authority against himself.—(A u gh.)--The Hon. Member has referred to the evidence R i ven in 1825 , and he has added, that wonderful things have occurred s i nce t h at t i me. It i s perfectly true that wonderful events have occurred since that time. Events of such a nature that I can assure the Hon. Member he Wo uld find, that if a general election were now to take Plac e in Ireland, while the Catholic Question remained unie ttled, and with t h e exc i tement and ag i tat i on preva ili ng there at pre,ent, the result would be such as to induce him to ag ree with me, that it was highly expedient, and abso lutely necessary f or P arl i ament to consider the state of the ele ctive fran c hi se there for the purpose of placing it upon the footing proposed by this Bill.—(Hear, hear.)

" 4 I r. SPRING RICE state d , t h at i n his opinion this cla use extend e d to a franchise infinitely greater than the 1.0.4 franchi se; an d every vote he had hitherto given on this question was strictly with rererence to a bona fide 10/, franchise. He thought it perfectly right that care s hould be taken to prevent a fraudulent franchise, and that they should guard against the possibility of the 10/. fran chise being open to the same objection as now existed with a‘pect t o th e forty. shilli ng f ranc hi se ; an d th ere f ore h e as of opinion, that it was fair and just, that evidence Other than the oath of the voter who wished to be regis tered, and the observation of the Magistrate, who was the are p ass i ve i nstrument to affix his signature to the affi -1714 was necessary. But what he objected to was, that t i Y l4 thie Bill evidence must be given by the registering party, :he had an interest of 10/. in the freehold, over and 7" all rent-charges, &c. This, he maintained, was ?ing infinitely beyond a 10/. franchise. The party re eterinC must prove that the freehold was worth 10/. a lsr o'er and above all charges, and that a solvent tenant b ld afford to p a y 10/. as an a ddi t i ona l rent , b eyon d „. 13 : 15 ehar ges . S o that b efore a man could establish his ri ght to vote, he must fir s t pro v e th a t, a s a l essee , th e freehold was worth 10/. per annum : and next, that the kAqt derived f rom i t was suc h as m i g h t i n d uce a so l vent w et to t a k e i t at a rent o f 10 / . more. If t hi s prov i s i on : 11, .erea fter found inconvenient, he thought they would .e 4'4 "IltY of no inconsistency in altering it. He begged of to su g gest the propriety of striking out th a t part t he oath ich says, " that a solvent and respectable •vnent could, as I very believe, afford to pay for the same, : 44 additi ona l rent, t h e annua l sum of 10L," &c. This thiesnoily unnecessary, because in a preceding section of oth 'llt, the individual qas called on to prove the fact by er evid e n ce than his own. Let the freeholder swear tha t which came within his own knowledge—but, with Pent to hi s b e li ef t h at a respecta bl e tenant woul d give z. a-year more for his freehold, he objected on prin ciple to that p or ti on of the oath as wholly unnecessary. Mr. DOHERTY contended, that the principle on Which the clause proceeded was not a new one, but was, in fact, laid' down by several Committees of that House at different times. In 1785 the Committee on the Bedford election reported, that "the value of a freehold was what a tenant would g i ve , and not what t h e owner, occupy i ng it himself, derived from' it." In 1804, the Middlesex committee came to a similar decision. It was there held, that the true criterion of the value of a freehold was what h 4 14 be given for it, and not simply what was m a d e by : tenant in the course o f th e y ear . Wi t h respect to ad k:ciag evidence to prove that a solvent tenant could afford Pay more for the freehold than it was rated at by the fil er, the principle' was not unknown in Ireland. He kuld point out to him a statute—the 19th of George 11. kaaed,. 100 years ago in Ireland, which rendered it neces 'lT for the freeholder to swear in these words :—" I, A b swear that I am a freeholder, and hold a clear estate of the value of 10/. above all charges payable the same ; and I believe the same might be let to a re -Assible tenant for 10/. a-year above all rent and charges." rhis, he must observ e , was t h e law of Eng l an d , an d w°lltiaciple 110 twf,'P introduced into Ireland. If he ka `ro wilted, meat a man possess a profit -rent of 10/. a-year 4institut e a freeholder, he would an swer "y e s ;" and , 101 0 was at a rack-rent of 101. or 201. a-year, ought After be a freeholder.

Mea sures were in progress to prevent these depredations in future. They write from Van Dieman's Land,— " Our weather is now becoming delightfully fine, although we hare had the most severe winter ever known in this colony ; stormy and rainy in the ex treme, and great damage done to the corn and bridges ; loss of cattle and sheep has been the con sequence. Our crops now begin to look beautiful, and a plentiful harvest is contemplated by those whose crops were not destroyed by the floods.— Our population increases fast, and the prospect brightens. Our children and grandchildren will inherit a lovely country, improved by their fathers, and rendered valuable by an extensive cultivation and clearing of timber, and the erection of good sub stantial buildings ; the morals of the peopleare strictly attended to, and, in fact, there is a determination to g►o on with courage and perseverance. The whale fishery has been very productive this season, and one indi vidual, who fitted out two boats, has taken 50 tuns of oil, and four tons of bone, which is shipped for London. The Iphigenia, lately arrived from Canton with a cargo of tea, and the Nimrod is also chartered for the same voyage. Our merchants are extending their views and speculations, and deserve from their en- terprise to succeed. Business is at present dull, money scarce, and credit at a low ebb. Our arrivals have been numerous, and our harbour more than usually gay, having several fine vessels floating on its surface. The Comet, from Cork, has brought in a number of respectable settlers bound to Sydney, but who have preferred remaining here. The Prince George, M. ANDREW, from the Downs, and Romeo, from London, are arrived in the Derwent, from Sydney ;" the dates are, via Hobart Town, the 22d September. They state the thieves who robbed the Bank of Australia of 14,000/. in notes and coin actually worked through a wall nine feet thick, hav ing got to it under a drain. The Tiger, RICHARDS, has arrived at Sydney with 6,400 bushels of wheat, horses, and mules, and 640 of the former article on the 22d September was sold at 20s. per bushel ; flour was 50s. per 1001 b. The small-pox has been brought to Sydney by the Busserah Merchant, and its devastations had been dreadful, particularly among the blacks, who were carried off in great numbers; the hooping-cough had been very rife. Between 7 and 800 tuns of oil will be exported from Van Dieman's Land this season, the entire capture of the settlers. The Trieste Observer of the 12th of March con- firms the accounts previously received, that the Em peror of AUSTRIA had made Venice a free port. — This concession has diffused great joy among the inhabitants. This wise measure on the part of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY will give a stimulus to trade in the Levant, and greatly facilitate the commercial communications with Greece : VENICE, MARCH 7. A new and unexpected favour of his Majesty's good ness fills with joy and exultation the hearts of our faithful citizens, who bless the beneficent hand that governs them. His Majesty the Emperor, our beloved Sovereign, animated by the paternal desire to promote the prosperity of this part of his faithful and affectionate subjects, has, by a resolution of the 20th of last month, which has been re ceived by his Imperial Highness the Archduke Viceroy, extended to the whole city of Venice the privileges of a free port, which were hitherto confined to the island of St. George. The gratitude of our citizens, for this distin guished favour, is equalled by their confidence in the far ther measures of the august Prince who is authorised to cirry into effect a resolution so important to the city of Venice.

The great Edinburgh petition—that petition which redounds so much to the credit of the " Modern Athens," and which proves that its libe- rality is only equalled by the splendor of its intel- lectual reputation —was last night presented to the House of Commons by Sir I. MACKINTOSH, who, in a speech every way worthy both of himself and his subject, observed that " this petition was agreed to in an assembly unparalleled in the history of Scotland : it was voted by a meeting, attended by upwards of 2,000 persons, and voted by four-fifths, some say nine -tenths, of those who, until the late innovation upon the ranks of life by some Gentlemen in that House, were usually considered the most respectable classes of society. It was signed by a number somewhat under 8,000; to the names of the individuals were attached their several places of abode. A most severe scrutiny was made into the identity of every signature; all the precautions which could be devised were taken to prevent' improper subscriptions, so that whatever imprudence might have been committed by other persons employed in preparing petitions, these peti tioners were free from the slightest imputation." We recommend these facts to the earnest considera tion of our readers, convinced that they will not be • without their due weight. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 20th inst. con tains the following from the frontiers of Servia. The Turks are making great exertions, but their forces on paper are, we suspect, nearly double those in the field : PROM THE FRONTIERS OP SERVIA, MARCH 4. Five hundred cavalry of household troops of the Pacha of Travnik have already set out for the camp at Shumla; a corps of Arnauts, commanded by a renegado, is also to set out in the same direction. The Pacha himself in tended to go the army, but the time of his departure seems to be undetermined. The levy in Bosnia goes on re gularly ; it is affirmed that 20,000 men are to go to the army on the Danube, and 30,000 to Livadia, which however seems to be out of all proportion to the Maho metan population of Bosnia, especially when We consider that however great the efforts may be which the Porte has to make to continue the war, the Divan is too well acquainted with the situation and the spirit of the provinces, the troubles in which are but just appeared, to deprive it of its defenders, or to agi tate it by extravagant demands. The new Grand Vizier Redschid Pacha has probably art ived at Shumla and taken the command, unless he waits at Constantinople for the or der of the Sultan. The Pacha of Belgrade, who on the de position of the late Grand Vizier, feared that he should lose his post, is said to have received favourable news from Constantinople, and will probably remain at Bel grade. A courier from Constantinople is now perform ing quarantine at Semlin. Due. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. ALLEN V. BERRY. At the sitting of the House this morning, Mr. MURRAY resumed his arguments in this appeal on the part of the respondents. The question in the case was, whether Mr. Berry, the respondent, was entitled to receive the value (be tween two and three hundred pounds) of the manure and straw, which he, as tenant of a farm, called Daleally, had de livered over to his successor, under proceedings instituted by the appellant, who, as the landlord, contended, that by the terms of the lease the respondent was bound to leave the manure upon the farm without receiving payment for it from the incoming tenant. After various proceedings in different Courts, the matter came before the Court of Ses sion, who ultimately decided that the respondent was en titled to be paid for the manure which remained upon the farm at the expiration of the lease. Against that decision Mr. Alleq appealed. _ __ _ _ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. ADAMS appeared on behalf of the appellant; Mr. MURRAY and Mr. KAYE were Counsel for the respondent. At the conclusion of the arguments, The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment, observing that it was necessary to read with considerable attention the papers, which his Lordship would do, and give his decision as soon as possible. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. TAUNTON V. BACKHOUSE. Mr. HORNE applied for leave to amend a bill of revivor and a supplemental bill by striking out the names of two of the plaintiffs on the record, and likewise for the pro duction of certain papers. Mr. SUGDEN opposed the application. The Learned Counsel stated, that this was a most extraordinary case; the original bill was filed in the year 1803, to enforce the performance of a deed of agreement which had been executed as long since as the year 1789 ; an amended bill was filed in 1804; when the plaintiff let the matter rest for exactly a quarter of a century, and then apply to the Court for an order to produce papers which they say are necessary for them to carry on the suit. With respect to striking out the names of two of the plaintiffs he would only say that could not be done, as they were materially interested. The ajiplication must be refused, it was alto gether unprecedenfa. _ _ Mr. KNIGHT was on the same side. He begged his Honour to treat this cause with respect and veneration, for:it was now the father of Chancery suits.—(Laughter. ) Mr. HORNE was content after his Learned Friends had stated the names of therpresent plaintiff's were necessary, not to press the application. Mr. SUGDEN asked for the costs, which were allowed. HALE V. HALE. This was also an application on the part of the plaintiff to amend his bill, which was refused with costs. The VICE-.CHANCELLOR will hear bankrupt petitions on Monday, and cause petitions on Tuesday. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

THE MAR KETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies are only good this week of Foreign Wheat. The quantity of Flour coastwise is small. The trade for Wheat con. tinues in a languid state, the few transactions at to day's market were chiefly confined to the be , t foreign red samples at the same terms as on Monday ; other qualities might be bought rather lower. Barley for malting is getting scarce, and well maintains last quotations ; grinding parcels of low quality are still plentiful. Beans and Pease are unaltered. Rather more money is asked for good Oats, and partially obtained, other kinds are not cheaper. English Irieh Foreign 1 15,030 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Coal Market, March 26, 1829. Mons. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, had a long conference with the Earl of ABERDEEN, yes terday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Earl BATHURST, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and Mr. CALCRAFT, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The MASTER of the ROLLS is about to oc cupy the house in South-street which belonged to the late Earl of WINCHILSEA. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—A meeting took place on the banks of the Royal Canal at an early hour on Monday morning, between W. E. F. D—LL —N, Esq., attended by J—s C—N —n, Esq., and — B—a—rr, Esq., attended by E. B—y, Esq., when, after an ex change of shots, a reconciliation was effected, in conse quence of the latter gentleman having made an apology.— Dublin Morning Post. THE CROWLAND ABBEY ESTATE, LIN COLNSIIIRE.—This little territory is announced for public competition, and the on dits, as is usual on great occa sions, are busily employed in conjecture as to causes and effects. We pretend not to divine into either ; all we in tend by the present notice is to call the attention of the monied world to an investment which exceeds in its im portance and amount any antecedent sale since the origin of Auctions. Mr. ORGY HUNTER, who is the respected proprietor, has invariably pursued a moderate and unde viating course in respect to his rental. His instructions invariably were, to let the scale always preponderate greatly in favour of his tenants. This position cannot be better illustrated than by one fact, which has come to our know- I ledge, viz. most of the tenantry are very rich, (Rot an every day occurrence it will be admitted,) and in several cases are reported to be worth 60 or 70,000/. each. This single circumstance speaks volumes, and it is matter of regret at Crowland, that such an immense property should be sold in one lot, thus debarring the tenantry of the opportunity to purchase their own farms. The estate is represented as the most compact in England. It includes 7,000 acres of land, which are proverbially the best in Lincolnshire ; there are no tithes, and yet the present low rental does not ex ceed 12,5001. a year, although the land is worth, on an average, 505. per acre. Probably the best commentary that can be offered is, the knowledge of one important fact— that during the adverse times, for 15 years, when all landed proprietors were compelled to abate 20 and sometimes 30 per cent., it occurred only half a dozen times that any ahotement was even solicited, and then it was confined to eight per cent. reduction. The capit dist who has been fearful of such investments, will know how to distinguish this from any other, and as an encouragement to those who have not half a million of money (or less) to embark, Mr. GEOROR ROBINS (who has the conduct of this sale) proposes to leave 200,0001. on mortgage, if required. The only sale that ever approached the extent of Mr. ORGY HUNTER'S, was the late Marquis of Oamownes sale—a singular and flattering coincidence, that thestune gentleman has the disposal of both.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-The good and fine coloury Grocery and good strong refining qualities are still the only sorts for which there is any demand, and as there are but very few parcels of these descriptions on hand in the market, they are taken off rather eagerly as soon as shewn at very firm prices, while the low brown and inferior par cels, with which the market abounds, are gamely sale able, although in many instances lower prices have been submitted to : 179 hhds. and 60 trs. and brls. St. Lucia were brought forward yesterday, but only part sold, al though the parcel generally was of a much better descrip tion than that offered last week. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,537 hh(le., 175 tre. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 23d inst.) 2,462 hhds., 1,188 trs. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 25th March, 828), 9,776 hhds., 1,129 trs. FOREIGN SUGARS.—One hundred and ninety-four chests Brazil were offered by public sale on Tuesday, con sisting of brown and yellow to fair white Bahias, but only a few lots of the best qualities found buyers, and those barely supporting the previous prices ; a parcel of damaged Havannah was also offered, but went off at such irregular prices, that, although there was a decided decline in them, it would be difficult to quote with certainty any serious fall in the prices of the sound qualities. REFINED SUGARS.—Although this market appears to be in a very depressed state, there is a little business doing, but the prices obtained for the middling and better sorts are not equal to the quotations of last week : of Crashed, for the Mediterranean, a few small parcels have been sold this week, but at very low prices, some of the Refiners having sbewn an anxiety to do business where offers have been made. COFFEE.—No transactions to notice have taken place in this market this week by private contract, either in Plan. tation or Foreign ; and the only parcel offered by public auction has been 650 bags Brazil of fine ordinary qualities, the whole of which were bought in at 395. 6d.

FRUIT. —A parcel of fine new Patras Currants in butts and caroteels, just arrived, is being divided at 865., but in other descriptions there is scarcely any thing doing. SPICES.-The demand for shipment is on the increase. Cinnamon, first quality, is from is. 3d. to Bs. 2d., second 6s. to 6s. Id., third from 4s. to ss. 2d., 'sore ordinary to good Sq. 9d. to 6s. Ginger White, 80s. to 170 s. WooL.—Although the Wool trade remains dull, a pub lic sale the day before yesterday went off briskly, in conse quence of an expected contract by the East India Com pany for Stripes. About 748 bales of Spanish Wool fetched from Is. to 2s. ; 105 bales of Germanized ditto, 10d. to Is. sd. per lb., and Spanish Lamb from Si -d. to 10d. per lb. To-day Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales, German and Spanish Wools are to be offered. Russz.aw PRODUCE.—TaIIow continues to droop, and it now not more than 375. to 38s. The last dates from St. Petersburgh state that about 20,000 poods had been brought since the last post. The Exchange had fallen to 10 11-16. The frost continues severe. SILKS.—A further reduction of from 6d. to Is. per lb. may be noticed on raw and thrown silks , and from the many failures occurring in all the silk districts, no increase of demand is anticipated. The INDIGO market continues heavy, at a Alight re duction. RIOE.-There is little demand for Rice—Bengal may be freely purchased from 12s. to 131. In Sit:TrantE the late advance is maintained, although . business is less active. WOODS.-There has been some activity in nrawoods— Campeachy Logwood is quoted El. to gi. ; llonduras, 6/. 10s. to 71. ; Jamaica, from 61. 10s. 61. 15s. We understand that HENRY RASE, Esq. Cashier of the Bank, died last night. DREADFUL FIRE.---THREE LIVES LOST. wA most alarming and destructive fire broke out this morning - at Camberwell, about half-past three o'clock, which we are sorry to say, not only destroyed a large quantity of property, but led unfortunately to the loss of three lives. The fire commenced at the hour above stated in the dwelling-house of a Air. BAILEY, who, we un derstand, is a retired chemist, and such was the speed with which the flames enveloped the whole house, that the mother of Air. BAILEY and two of his children fell sacri fices to the devastating element. The other inmates most narrowly escaped. The flames then communicated to three other houses, a broker's, a straw-bonnet maker's, and a shoe-maker's, all of which were mostly reduced to a heap of ruins, and comparatively but a small portion of the pro; perty in each saved. Enginea errived in the shortest pos. sible time frpm Loudon, and by the exertions of the fire men the games wee arrested.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The odds quoted below will show some alterations, which may be attributed to the reports of illness which have been circulated lately, and applied to several horses. It is quite true that Post Obit has been a little amiss ; he had a slight cough several days back, but within the pre sent week he has been out, had a sweat, and is now quite recovered. We believe, too, that Varna is all right ; but Prince Eugene must be on the sick li.t. for at 20 to 1 he is without friends.
