THE LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, at eleven o'clock ; Sir William Browne Folkes in the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The SECRETARY laid before the meeting the following report : " The directors have ranch pleasure in reporting to the proprietors, that satisfactory progress has been made in carry ing out the powers of the Act of Parliament, and that the prospects of the Company, with regard to the probable cost of Ike construction of the line, are most gratifying. `rThe iron rails, chairs, and sleepers, for the whole of the line and branches, have been purchased, and are in course of delivery at Lynn. " The consequent outlay has entailed upon the directors the necessity of making a second call of 51. per share on the proprietors. " The Bills for authorising the extension lines, sanctioned at the special general meeting cf shareholders, hold on the 31st of December last, have been. presented to Parliament, and are now before the Standing orders' Committee of the douse of Commons. 4 ' The Bill for amalgsmating 015 Company with the Lynn and Dereham, and Ely and Iluntlngdcn Railway Companies, has also been introduced int., the Ilsnao of Commons. As, however, the arnalzanaticn we not agreed upon until the 31st of December Ivt, the Pailanentary notices fur the Bill could not be given anti' aft,er th.e time prescribeiby the standing orders had expired. The Star ding Orders' Committee have therefore necessarily rtrrted to the House this non-com pliance with their reguations, but there is every reason to hope that, as the Bill affects no interests but those of the proprietors in the respective companies, the Select Com mittee, to whom the Bill has been referred, will recommend that the standing orders be in this case dispensed with." ENGMEER'S REPORT. " Gentlemen,—ln reporting to you the progress made in works, I must in the first place state to you that, in con sdquence of the extreme demand di=rin the arttimn of last year for engineering draughtsmen and assistants,/ was unable until after.the 30th Novernper, to form a sufficient staff fur properly commencing operations. Since that time, however, I have been more successful. " The'whole of the main line, and the branch to the har bour at Lynn, are staked out, and the levels for the contract sections taken. The necessary plans for the purchase of the lands required for the first contract are also completed.

ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAIL- WAY. The proprietors oi' this Company also assembled at the London Tavern yesterday, at two o'clock; Henry C. Lacy,: Esq., in the chair. The report read by the SECRETARY was to the following effect: . . " In meeting the proprietors on this occasion, the directors beg to refer to the en,c,rineer'z report for a statement of the progress made in the line. " The iron rails, chairs, and sleepers for the whole of the line have been purchased, and are in course of delivery at Lynn. " The Bill for vtthorising the extension line sanctioned at the special geheral meeting of the shareholders, held on the 31st of Dceeinber last, has been presented to Parliament, and his passed the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. " The Bill for amalgamating this Company with the Lynn and Ely, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, has also beea introduced into the House of Commons. As, how ever, the amalgamation was not agreed upon until the 31st of lecember last, the Parliamentary notices for the Bill could not be given until after the :inv..: prescribed by the standing orders had expired. The Standing Orders'Com initt?e have therefore necessarily reported to the House this nen-compliance with their regulations; but there is every relso.n to.hope that, as the BM affects no interests but those of the proprietors in the respective Companies, the ',.elect. COUunitUq, to whom the Bill has been referred, will recom mend that the sta.eding orders be in this case dispens , al with. " Interest ou the deposit and call, at the rate of 31. 10-3. per sent. per annum, will be paid forthwith to the proprietors whose names stand this day on the Company's register." 'The eastts accounts appended to the report/ showed the rec3ipts, to the 31st of January, to have been 43,204!. 19sk ld., whinh, excepting a balance in the banker's hands, ' 17,6071. 18s., had been expended. The Pellowing report of the engineer was also submitted. " Gentiemen,—The railway commences about one mile from the Ely station of the Eastern Counties Railway, by which u considerable saving is effected in the length of rail way to be :Lade ; this arrangement is the result of agree meet with the Eastern Counties Company. From this junction to Huntingdon the line is staked out, and the plans of the property to be purchased, with the exception of a por tion in the neighbourhood of the Old West River, and the River Ouse at Overcete, are in the hands of the solicitors. The reason why the plans of the property in the parts just referred to have not been furnished is, that by thekct ofParha meat the Railway Company cannot proceed to execute the -work until the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford level is first obtained to the mode of crossing those rivers, which has not yet been received, and the quantity of land depends upon their decision. . 1 ' The design and details of the various works upon the line, including the stations, are in a very advanced state, and there iii nothing to prevent the contracts being adver tised but the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford level before mentioned, not being yet received. " I have also to state that since the permanent levels were taken, I have made an amended section of the line, which deviates considerably beyond the limits allowed by Parlia ment, anlas,s sanctioned by the Board of Trade ; this section was sent to be laid before them on November 19, and they did not issue their certificate of approval until the 30th of last month. This amendment of the section effects a saving of upwards of 200,000 cubic yards of earthwork. " 1 very much regret that so lunch time has been lost in commencing the works, but you are well aware of the late un precedented demand for engineers and draftsmen, and until the day for depositing plans with the clerks df the peace (the 30th of November) was passed, it was impossible to obtain any assistance. It is somewhat better now, although ex tremely difficult. " Since the above was written I haVe received a letter from the solicitor to the Corporation of the Bedford level, requiring additional plans to be sent, which I put in band immediately, and they shall be transmitted to him in the least possible time; after which, a meeting will be arranged On the spot, which I will attend for the purpose of finally settling the business.—l have the honour to be, your most obedient servant, (Sigipd) "Manchester, Feb. 17th, 1846, " GEO.

Alfred Jvnes, 20. was indicted for feloniously aiding and counselling one Thomas Smith to commit a felony. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution. It will be remembere.d that, at the December session, a man named Thomas Smith was indicted, with a woman who passed ashis wife, the termer for stealing a 101. note, the robbery being accompanied with menaces and violence, and the woman for receiving the note, knowing it to have been stolen. The robbery was of an aggravated character. The man went to the house of a lady named Hambdon, in Cold Harbour-lane, Camberwell, and he sent up a letter to her by the servant, in which money was demanded, and a threat also, that if it was not given some men, who were out side, should be called in, and that their lives should be taken. The prisoner th, , n produced a pistol, and under the terror produced by his c, - nduct a 101. note was given p to him, which note gas changed by the woman. the nest day, and this led to the Charge being made against her. She was, however, acquitted, but the man was found guilty and sentenced to be transporte,i for life. The prisoner now before the Court was charged being an accessory to the offence by being cognizant that the robbery was about to be committed, and with having himself written the letter that was taken by the other prisoner, and these facts were clearly-brought home to him. Thejury found a verdict of Guilty. Inspector Campbell, who appeared to have been instru mental in getting up the case against the prisoner, and who appeared to have been very active upon the occasion, in answer to a question from the Court, said that the prisoner had been two or three times summarily convicted for attempts to commit felony. Mr. Baron PARKE sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A very well-dressed man, who was on the police-sheet called Robert Wilkinson, was brought before the Lord Mayor yesterday upon the charge of having stolen a teapot in a sil versmith's shop. Samuel S. Benson, shopman to Messrs. Sari, of Cheapside, stated that at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening the pri soner walked into the shop, and, snatching up a metal tea pot of the value of 21., ran towards Backlersbury. Witness pursued him, overtook him, and gave him into the custody of a policeman. The moment the prisoner was seized he threw down the teapot. The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner whether he wished to ask the witness or the policeman any question, to which he replied by only shaking his head. The LORD MAYOR—From whehee do you come? Pri soner—Come ! From the north of England. The LORD Meson—What are you? Prisoner—Nothing new. I have been a schoolmaster. The LORD MAYOR—How long have you been in Loudon? Prisoner—roe some time. The Loan Meson—Do you wish to say anything' about this matter, or about yourself ? Prisoner—Nothing.—r4m mitted for trial. James Wade, the captain of a gang of vagabonds who la fest Whitechapel, was charged with having assaulted a po liceman. The prisoner walked into the station-house in Bow-lane, and insisted upon taking up his quarters there for the night, and not only refused to leave the place, but made the most intolerable noise. Although the man was known to the force as a nuisance of the first magnitude, he was calmly expostulated with by the officer on duty, who, finding that gentle dealings would not do, locked hien up in a rosin. It soon, however, became necessary to try other means with so refractory a customer, as, by kicking at the door, as well as by roaring, he put the nerves of the officer to too severe a test, and his boots were taken from him, but not before he contrived to blacken the eyes cf the policeman who per formed the office of lackey. Several policemen said the prisoner was the principal of a formidable set of fellows, who resided in. what were called the Whitechapel bloodholes, and that lye was at all times ready to engage in any undertaking a.gainet the public peace. The Prisoner—The police are a set of co:rarda. lam able for half-a-dozen of them if I have fair play. The Lorin Mayon—l think this case ought to go to the sessions ?

There is also here an extensive wharf and yard for manufacturing waggons, &c. ' 700 tons of coals have already been landed at this pier, and a large cargo is now being discharged. At Derry much has been done in building flats, tugs, &c. ; twenty-six of the former are completely ready, each capable of carrying seventy tons ; five steam tugs are in a state of forwardness, two of them are ready for launching, and only await the arrival of the engines, which are daily expected.

The report having been moved and adopted, the sum of 900/. was voted for the services of the directors, and it was moved that 601. be given to the auditors. On this last reso lution two amendments were moved, one that the vote be deferred till the next meeting, and the other that the sum be 501. Both, however, were lost, and the original motion was carried. To the inquiries of a shareholder, Mr. LEATIIAM (one of the local directors) stated that by the end of the present year the land reclaimed by the embankment would be worth 150,000/, and to the question of another Mr. CLAY replied that very fine potatoes had been grown upon theland already reclaimed, soma of which he had himself eaten, and that they had not the slightest tendency to rottenness or a speck about them, a circumstance which he attributed to the saline quality , of the soil in which they were grown.

The Cul=Art stated that an obstacle existed to the ad vance of money in the provisions of an Act of Parliament, which restrained them from calling for more than one third of the capital of the Company in one year, but the shareholders might pay their calls in advance, and the Directors expected to derive a fund from the sale of the re claimed lands for expediting the works. Thanks were than unanimously voted to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The first halt-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held at one o'clock this day, at the Lon don Tavern, for the transaction of the ordinary b.zalnes.i of the Company; W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P., Chairman, The usual formal business having been transacted, The CIIAIRMA et briefly addressed the meeting, after which The Secretary, Mr. J. MARRINER, read the report, which stated that it had been found necessary, since the passing of the Act, to make a deviation from the course of the proposed railway at Carnarvon for the better accommodation of the inhabitants of that town, and also an alteration in the level of this line at the point of junction with the Chester and Holy head Railway, at Bangor. The requisite measures had bees consequently adopted, to obtain in the present session the authority of Parliament for this purpose. The whole of the line, as finally determined upon, had been surveyed, and a contract had been arranged with Messrs. Jackson and Co. for the execution of the works between Bangor and Car narvon, which would ensure that portion of the railway being opened in the month of July next year. The balance sheet, made up to the 31st of-January, showed an available balance of 32,8241. 12s. I.d. The report and accounts were then received and adopted. The following gentlemen, who retired from office by rota tion, were then re- elected :—W. B. Hughes, Esq., BLP., Sir W. Wynn, F. J. Walker Jones, Esq., William Chadwick, Esq., James Ramsay, Esq., T. B. Simpson, Esq., J. J. Kin loch, Esq., Stephen Phillips, Esq., Alexander Ross, Esq. J. Lowdon, Esq., of Doughty-street, was re-elected in the place of Mr. Carver ; and B. Edgington, Esq., in the room of Wm. Bland, Esq., who had retired from the direction. Mr. James Pyke and Mr. Charles Hill were elected to fill the office of auditors for the ensuing year. Sir Jome RENNIE said that the proposed deviations wfuld not exceed a mile and a quarter, and that the cost, which could not have been forseen at the time they obtained the Act, would be about 12,0001. A resolution, forfeiting 160 shares which had not been taken up, was then passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and directors, and suitably acknowledged, the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE, EXCHEQUER COURT, Feb. 26. (London Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CIIIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) WILLIAMS V. BRADLEY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 2911. ss. 6d., fur goods sold and delivered. The plaintiff is a sta tioner, living in Bucklersbury, and the defendant one of the provisional committee of a projected line of railway, called the Direct Western. The plaintiff, in the course of his busi ness last summer, supplied maps, &c., to the defendant, to the amount of 291/. ss. 6d., to recover which sum'the pre sent action was brought. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted the entire sum ; as he had ceased to be on the committee of directors since July last and as the greater portion of the goods were supplied afterwards, he considered that he was not liable. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full sum claimed. females have been insulted by sich scoundrels as this fellow. The LORD likron—l shall send the case to the sessions, and the prisoner must remain in custody until ha procure two good sureties in the bum of 401. each for his appearance. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) - Sub-Committee No. 4. wax.reED, CARLOW, AND DV2II.I"N ZVNGTION. (Continued front oar 'kmlll.ooll Editial of yeetallay.) The Crum( said that if the Committee decided that the allegation was proved, they must consider that Mr. Curtis's statement was utterly false, while it was perfectly consistent to suppose that the statement of Mr. Curtis was true, and that Mr. Brennan was mistaken. The Committee decided that the allegation was net proved. The next allegation was that another petitioner, Mrs. Per ceval, had received no notice except on Sunday, the 28th of December. Mrs. Perceval was called to prove that she was served per sonally with the notice on the day in question. Mr. Curtis was again called to prove that he left the notice on Saturday, bat that on Sunday he called and left the form of anent with Mrs: Perceval. Mrs. Perceval was recalled, and said that she received both the notice and the form of assent from Mr. Curtis on Sunday . . The Caarasais said that it was impossible that Mrs. Per ceval could be mistaken, but that Mr. Curtis might possibly be mistaken, having so many notices to serve. The Com mittee, therefore, decided that the allegation was preyed. The third allegation was that Mary Inn Moran, another petitioner, had received no notice except on Sunday. 1 sister of the petitioner was called upon to prove that she received the notice from a strange gentleman, on the 28th December. _ _ Mr. Curtis said that he served the notice on a week day but could not say when. Ho thought it was on Monday, the 29th December, but was not sure, as he kipt no dated memo randa of the service of notices. _ _ _ _ . Mr. T. W. O'Brien, a person engaged in the office of the solicitor to an opposing line, said, that on Sunday, the 28th of December, he saw a person going to the house of Miss Moran, and hand to her sister, who came to the door, a paper, which he supposed to be a notice. He went to the house as soon as the gentleman was gone to request Miss Moran to allow him to ass the paper, and Le found that it was a notice from the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junc tion Railway Company. In cress-examination, he said that he went out for the purpose of seeing whether any person was serving notices from this company. He believed ;that the person whom he saw serving the notice on Miss Moran was Mr. Curtis. The Committee decided that this allegation was proved. The petition of Sarah Ann Gaubiere and Michael Kernan was then taken. This petition stated that the name of the petitioner Sarah Ann Gaubiere was not inserted ii the books of reference, or plans, as lessee of the land marked 18 to 29, including 18A and 26A, although she was the lessee of that land. A witness was called in support of this petition, but could not point out the property on the plan, and when some of the numbers in question were pointed out to him, he could not say that they referred to the same property as that in which Miss Gaubiere is lessee. He could not say what was the nature of Miss Gaubiere's interest in the property. The Committee considered the allegation not proved. It was alleged that Michael Kernan was the lessee of cer tain property, namely, the fields No. 94, 95, and 97. A witness, who was acquainted with the locality, was called to prove that the fields in question were held on lease by Michael Kernan. Mr. Curtis proved that, in a conversation between himself and Michael Kernan, the latter pointed out the fields in question as belonging to another person. Mr. Ilusu, the agent for the petitioners, withdrew the al legation, saying that it was clearly a mistake. The petition of Joseph Carley was next taken. It was alleged that there was a public road between the fields No. 3 and No. 4, in the parish of Killcorin, which was not named in the books of reference, or represented in the plans. A person who formerly held the office of surveyor in the parish of Killcorin was called in support of the alle gation, but as he could not say positively that the road was in the posit described in the petition the allegation fell to the ground. It was alleged that a certain road was described in the book of reference as the property of the Earl of Arran, whereas it was a public road, but on refering to the book of reference it was found that it was not so marked, but that the preceding and following numbers were marked as the property of the Earl, and that there was no name of any owner given. Mr. Smith, the agent for the Bill, stated that there were several roads in the parish of Killcorin, which were mid, in the book of reference, to be the property of the Earl of Arran, and which, it was alleged by the petitioner, were highway roads, under the jurisdiction of the grand jury. Now he (Mr. Smith) thought he could prove that they were at that time the property of the Earl of Arran ; and he could also prove that although they were not de scribed as public highways in the book of reference, yet, nevertheless, the clerk of the grand jury had been served with notices. After a long and desultory conversation, A witness was called to prove that notices were served on the clerk of the grand jury in reference to these roads. But, on croas-txamination, lie admitted that they did not con tain exact copies of the entries in the book of reference, as in the book of reference either Lord Arran was described as miner, or there wee no owner named, while in the extracts given in :be notice the and jury were namci as the owners. The ClLlikasiAN7 obse;; - eli that the G:,TI - 1111ittet intended to those roads in which there were no nallte3 of owner 3 or occupiers thst the etanding orders were rtport leftriftle‘ rot complied with The piititin of Herbert Hoare WAS next taken. It alleged that certain property WWI described as having no lessee, ‘sintress he, the petitioner, was the lessee of that property. It was roptesentod by the promoters of the Pill that the error arose from the fact that at the time the Herbert was entered in the book of reference, the lease of Herbert Hoare had jibt expired, andlt was not the intentioyi of the preprie tore of the laid to give a new lease to the petitioner, 'Which clone since. 6ev4a-al of the allegations were admitted to be made under a mihtake, and were withdrawn. The last allegation was that Mary Preston was represented in the book of reference to be the orctr2ier of certain pro perty, of which Alexander Preston was the actual owner. This was admitted to be the case, but it appeared that Mr. A. Preston was trustee, under the will of his brother, de ceased, for Mary Preston, the widow of the latter. Mr. HI:NT said, that as it was clear that the error had originated in the parties being rif,sled, he would withdrew the allegation. The ComMittee then adjourned, but .did not fix a day for their next meeting. Snb-Committee, No. 5. The Committee met at a o'clock—resent, 3kr. Home Drummond (Chairman), Mr. Forbes Mackeazie, Mr. 'Patton Egerton, and Mr. Compton. GLASGOW, STRATTIA.VEN,, AND LEMMA- lIAGOVITRALIZAVAIr. The object of the promoters of this line is to construct a railway from the Glasgow, .13arrhcad, and Neilston Direct Railway, near Pollockshaws, to the town of Strathaven.

IL Long, lima. ; and the local solicitors are Campos.. and Torments, of Glasgow. The length of line Is 14 milts,. Mr. Dawns appeared against the Bill on behalf of several petitioners, and the first objection raised was that the miles and furlongs were not correctly marked on the plan, and did not agree with the sections thereof. This allegation was not sustained. In the next allegation, that the fifteenth mile was one chain shorter than the fourteenth, the Committee decided on reserving their judgment. The ne_xt objection was that a portion of the said intended railway was citecribed as passing through the parish of Su'aven, while there was no such parish, and that the plan and book of reference in this case did not agree, as in - the former the sold parish was described as the parish of A - 21 andale . _ _ , I -- At the suggestion of the Committee, Mr. Deans withdrew this objection, es Straven was a contraction of Strathaysn, which was a parish, and through which the railway was proposed to be carried. Another objection was that a certain cutting, described to be forty feet, was, in point of fact, only thirteen feet. Mr. 1.4014 G took an objection to this . point, inasmuch as Mr. Fergusson, the petitioner, was not interested, as he was not owner of that part of the land where the said cutting was to take place. The Committee considered the objection invalid, but stated that the standing orders were complied with, in reference to the said cutting. Mr. DAs then proceeded to the next allegation, that a field, marked No. 37, on the plan, was not truly described in the book of reference, being stated to be the property of James Allen, whereas the said field was the property of another person, to whom no notice had been given. Mr. LONG called Mr. Gebby, a writer, who proved that he proceeded to th e ground, and was in for*sd that the field was the property of a Mr. Hamilton, and he drew up the legal document accordingly. I Mr. DRAWS contended that the standing orders were not complied with, as the best means were not taken to ascer tain the real owner of the field in question. Standing orders complied with. . The important objection to this Bill, that one-tenth was no t ozbacribed of the estimated cost, although it was paid up en the s:ibscription contract, the Committee held to be good, and repor:ed that the standing orders were not complied with in conekluence GUELSGOVY xAvousuit *RAND 3VNCTION TERMINI 793.

"'OUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 26. The Loin CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at the usual hour. THE GOVERNMENT MEASURE. The Duke of RICHMOND, inpresentinga petition from some town, the name of whi c h we did no t h ear , i n the county of Warwick, said that the petitioners were interested in the subject of the ribbon manufacture, the old and only established staple trade of the eounty. They viewed with great alarm the proposes likely to be Leslie by Government in another place, and as they were in fa vour of protection themselves they desired protection to the agriculture of the country. He (the Duke of Richmond) happy to present such a petition, because itwausesvery showed that the operatives of the country were expressing their disapprobation of the violent changes sought to be introduced by the Government. He considered that the result of the late elections gave sufficient proof that the farmers were up and in earnest, and that should the measure, intro duced in another place, come up to that House, their Lordships would be justified, in the exercise of a constitutional right, to place themselves between the vio lent faction which urged on these charges and the best interests of the country. THE WAR IN INDIA. The Earl of RIPON laid upon the table certain papers from the seat of war in India. The Duke of RICHMOND wished to ask the Noble Lord (and in doing so, he felt deep gratitude for the bravery and devotion exhibited by the army in India), whether it was by desire that the Governor-General had accepted a secondary position in the Indian army. It might be very natural for Sir H. Hardinge, an old soldier, to wish to be in the thick of the battle, but he (the Duke of Richmond) felt that a divided authority might be prejudicial to the interests of the country and the honour of the British arms. The Earl of RIPON said that due attention would Government to the suggestion o b f e t g h i e v given o b b y l oD her o Majesty's __ tice to the people of Ireland, and he (Lord Brougham) hoped and trusted that they would long continue to be so. He (Lord Brougham) thought they would deserve well of their country, if they would immediately give up the reprehensible and abominable practice of addressing political lectures to the public from their pulpits. —(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Be they Protestants or Catholics, they desecrated the altar when they prostrated it to such uses.—(Hear. hear.) He did not believe that the administration of justice was interfered with by the prieuss of either of those denominations ; hut, if they diJ interfere with its administration, the:law might punish them. The duty of the Judge would be ill-discharged if he did not punish any such interference, whether by a Catholic or Protestant. The Marquis of WESTMEATH appealed to their Lordships whether he had stated that he generally mistrusted Roman Catholic jurors. In fact, a great portion of the business of Ireland was - transacted by a portion of that community, and he had seen Roman Catkelic jurors perform their duties as well as those of the Protestant religion.—(Hear, hear.) In the case of Seery the jury was not wholly Protestant. Lord STOURTON again defended the Catholic priest hood from the charge of fomenting disturbances in Ire land. They were indebted to them for much of the peace and prosperity which prevailed in that country, and they ought not, therefore, to be assailed in that and the other House o f Parliament. in the way they had been. COUNTY WORKS PRESEMTMENTS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a second time. Lord MONTE AGLE expressed his intention of reviewing the subject in the next stage of the Bill. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND). This Bill was read a third time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Their Lordships then adjourned. summer assizes in the years 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846 respectively, giving the names of the parties ac cused, the nature of the crime with which they were charged, and the proceedings in each case, i, e., whether the bill of indictment was found a true bill or ignored ; whether the party accused was tried, and at what time ; and the result of the trial, whether in conviction, or acquittal, or the disagreement of the jury; a return of all memorials or applications for the aid of the civil or military power in each county in Ireland for the same period, specifying the dates thereof respectively, and the names of the me morialists in each case ; also a return of the number of sti pendiary magistrates and constabulary appointed to any district in Ireland, within the said period, in consequence of suck applications or memorials.—Agreed to. MIDDLETON POOR-LAW UNION. Mr. O'CONNELL moved " That the petition from the Middleton Poor-law Union (presented 23d February), be printed with the votes."—Agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped that, although the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Go vernment had.intimated very properly that he intended to proceed with the Corn Bill in the first instance, to the exclusion of other articles in the tariff, there was one which he trusted would be excepted from this general rule—that was Indian maize. This was an article of very great importance, and likely to contribute very largely to the support of the poorer classes of the community. He trusted, therefore, the Right Hon. Baronet would not include this in the same category with the other articles of the tariff. Sir R. PILL to this inquiry made no reply. ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the motion that the order of the day should be read for the resumption of the adjourned debate, _ Mr. ROEdUCK said that before the order of the day was read for the resumption of the adjourned debate, he begged to ask of the Honourable Gentle man opposite what time this debate was likely to be brought to a conclusion; and the reason for his put ting this question was, because he had found that an Hon. Gentleman had consumed two hours and a half the other night of valuable time of the House in' a disquisition which had to do with anything and everything but the eabject of the de bate. He thought thee this was not the way in which the valuable time of the House ought to be wasted. Certainly it was not the way in which to pro mote the character of the House for decency, order, or anything that was great. For two mortal hours and a half had the lion. Gentleman gone on to rake up by gone speeches of Members upon the Treasury bench from 1 newspapers and all the other receptacles of public matters, in order to establish a point, which, after all, had no tking in the world to do with the subject of the debate. He trusted that the party represented by the Gentlemen on the Opposition benches were not reduced to the ex tremity of using language which was at the same time inappropriate and abusive, and that they would not sub stitute for argument that which, however it might tend to intimidate, could never convince, and which was equally unworthy of their cause, and of the respect which was due to that House. He (Mr. Roebuck) felt himself reduced to the use of periphrases by the rules of the House, instead of using those expressions with which he felt it right to characterise this proceeding ; but the difficulty was not created by him, but by that person on the other side of the House, by whom it had been adopted.—(Cries of " Order, order," and con fusion on the protection benches.) Do you cry order, said the Hon. Member for Bath, when such conduct is reprobated, why did not you cry order when the violence Was committed? He feared that the cause which was to he bolstered up by such fanatical catering was but badly based on facts. For two retortal hours and a half that individual had continued the time of the House in a tirade, which was, only after all, an expression of his own opinion. And what was that opinion worth ? He would take the rule of his own profession, and ask what any man in the country would give for that opi nian ? Why, not a guinea, nor half-a-guinea, nor half-a crown, nor a shilling • not a penny, nor half-a-farthing. And yet this was the way that Honourable Gentlemen presumed to trifle with the time of the House. He thought that this was not the way in which to conduct the debate on a great question, or likely to increase the character of the House in the country. He did hope that the Hon. Gentlemen opposite would have something better than this to propose ; and if the division were not to be taken to-night, that they, would lay before the House matter worthy of consideration, and substitute something like argument in the place of vulgar hatred, expressed in violent and vulgar language.—(Opposition cheers.) Sir R. INGLIS felt that the observations of the Hon. Member for Bath had been both injudicious and uncalled fair. He accused him of erroneous representations—he accused him of unnecessary opprobrium—he accused him of instituting a most inconvenient prece dent ; and, still more, of having taken advantage of the absence of the Honourable Member to whom he referred, which were equally inapplicable and improper. lle (Sir R. Inglis) only rose for the purpose of protest ing against the use of personalities, which frequently were indulged in to too great an extent ; and he hoped that when the Hon. Gentleman next addressed the House he would be more guarded in the use of his ob servations.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT agreed with the Hone Baronet that the present was not the time for entering into a discus. sion on the ground of personality ; but, at the same time, he was anxious to say a few words as regarded the attack made by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough on a friend of his, Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Knaresborough had asserted that what he put forward as fact was true, and what he stated as in ference might be relied on; hut his statements mud his inferences might all be taken as utterly untrue. — (Hear, hear, and Oh, oh.) Mn Wilson had never called a meeting of the starch manufacturers: he never presided at a meeting of the kind, nor was be a party in a de putation that waited on the Government to obtain protection for their manufacture. The starch manu facturers wanted- no protection ; and Mr. Wilson would he the last mat) to associate him self with any deputation for such a purpose. He could tell the Hon. Member fur Knaresborough that there was one misfortune against which he ever had to contend, end that was, that his statements were newer susceptible el" proof.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COLQUIInIJN said he felt certain that if the lion. Member for Knareshorough happened to be hi his place, he doubted not he would not shrink from the proof of his assertions : and he should say that he did not think it fait to attack that Honourable Gentleman in his absence, as' he doubted not he could defend every state ment and assertion made by him.—(Cries of" Oh, oh," from the Opposition Members.) Lord MOIPINTI and Dr. Dowerxa rose at the same moment, but the former gave way to the latter, who said he conceived that Hon. Members at that side of the 'ouse had great eason to complain' of the course pur sued by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in this debate. Some very AQrious charges had been made by , that Hon. Member against a gentleman, who was re markable alike for the kindness of hie heart, and the benevolence of his dispositien. He meant his friend, Mr. Hen: v Ashwertk—(Hear, hear)—who had been desig nated, by the Ifoxi. Member for Knaresborough, as a person capable of acts of cold-blooded atrocity, and as such he had been processionised before this House.— (Hear.) Now he (Dr. Bowling) had had some oppor tunities of knowing Mr. Ashworth, and of the state of thbagr that existed in the vicieity of Bolton a few years ago, upon which he would wish to make a few observes tient, ; but previous to doing so, he had written voter to the Noble Lard the Member for Newark, and another Hon. Member, in order to ascertain from themselve whether they were prepared to make any charges against his friend. They were not here at present but be begged to say that the charges of the Honourable Member for Knaresborough were altogether untrue ;_ and he begged to add, th a t if an y Member of that House should, more than another, be scrupulous about making statements in this House, with out proofs to sustain them, it was the Hon. Member for Knaresborough—(Hear, heer)- 7 and it would be well for him if his assertions were characterised by less boldness. Captain VIVIAN said he rose for the purpose not of prolonging this discussion, but of closing it until to-mor row night, when he hoped to see the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in his place. Lord MORPETH said that in the discussion that had taken place with reference to the statement made by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough—via. that the operatives were compelled by their masters to sign petitions in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws—he felt it necessary to say a few words. At the time that this statement was made, he had in his pocket a letter from the workmen of a factory called the Union Mill, which letter hael been written in consequence of some reports, of a similar tendency with the assertion of the Honourable Member, having been circulated in the House. The letter stated that not only were the workmen under no compulsion of the kind, but they were even more anxious than their employers for the repeal of the corn-laws. He had also i received other letters of a similar tendency. An Host. Miseusu (whose name we could not learn) moved for a new writ for the borough of Bridport in room of Mr. Bailey Cochrane, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. BRIGHT presented several petitions from Stalay bridge, and oth©r places, in favour of the repeal of the corn-lavrs, , Mr. 130,9,73 rose to speak, but in consequence of the cow:asion occasioned by Honourable Members lent , - r.. 2 the house he was inaudible in the gallery. He would for one moment allude to the speech of the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire. That speech was characterised by strength and elegance of diction, but the arguments it contained were fallacious. The cardinal proposition of that speech was that the labourer was entitled to protection. The Hon. Member said that property was entitled to protection, and as the labour of the labourer was his property, ergo, be was entitled to protection. That was a perfect fallacy, for how could they, for one moment, com pare property in lands and houses to the property of the labourer, which was his labour only ? If then this argument would not avail as regarded the luxuries of life, of what avail can such an argument 'be with reference o the slog important article of human subsistence—bread Reference had been made to the Wisdoin of our ancestors, and we have been told that a system of protection had existed in this coentry for upwards of twneenturies. The Hon. Member then read an extract from a work which bad been written two hundred years, to the effect that trade tended to increase the food of the people, unfit was necessary therefore tolive as much freedom to trade as possible. There were else at that time many kindred, mind* en the um* subject. He was net there to defied the measures in order to obtain his seat, hut he was *sleeted at the period of the last dissolution in eouempeenee of the opinions which he had slways expressed, and whieh had been fcreed upon him by reflection, and he did enusider that it would be better for all parties, for the labourers, eountry gentlemen, and artisans, that, if it mere possible, the torn-i3 - 4s should be got :id of by a gradual repeal.---( Hour.) in the opening speech of the Right Honourable &reset, an article' was referred to which afforded a good illustration of his argument, He alluded to the article of flax, and he felt sea. vinctd that if the protective duty had remained on it the trade tetr,:l4 30t 40%1IiSt1 it it SOY did. Iu the emity of 4ap•gli CORN-LAWS. A Nonmt LORD presented a petition from several parishes occupying land in the county of Leitrim, i against any alteration n the present corn-laws. RAILWAYS. Earl GREY gave notice that ho would postpone his notice of motion respecting railways until some day next Week. PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. The Duke of RICHMOND presented fifty-four pe titions from parishes in Derbyshire, in favour of pro tection to agriculture and against the measures pro posed by the Government. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he had to put two questions to the Noble Earl (the Secretary for Ireland) regarding the execution of Brian Seery. The first question was whether there had been a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, as stated, prior to the man's execution, and the second question was whe ther, if there had been such a deputation, it could be con sidered an improper proceeding of those forming that deputation? It did not follow that what would be con sidered improper in this country should be held to be wrong in Ireland. He would state to their Lordships the hardships the Commission at Westmeath had to encounter from those opposed to it. A cer tain portion of the press was violently opposed to the Government Commission and a great feeling was created against their proceedings. All this arose out of a conspiracy, a conspiracy involving almost all the lower population in Ireland from the age of sixteen to twenty-five. After the excitement which bad taken place, after the manner in which the Com mission was said to be got up—it was almost strange the jury had not given way. Ile was perfectly sure the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland would have acted with that modera tion and firmness that was necessary in looking into the circumstances of that case, and would not be swayed by any intelligence from any body of men in de ciding on the fate of Seery. He however would say that if any Minister of the Crown had so acted, that it was in the present state of that country most unfortunate. The observations or expressions which had fallen from a certain individual were most unusual, because they must know that in that county there were persons who gladly toe': hold of any circumstances whatever to held up in individuals to public admonition by misrepresenting their conduct. Now he would show their Lordships how justifiable was the conduct of such indviduals, by stating what were the acts of the Roman Catholic clergy. He would tell their Lordships that before the Commissioners came down to Westmeath, the Roman Catholic Bishop gave out, in the presence of a large congrega tion, that Brian Seery was innocent, and with that kind of announcement which was very well understood in that country by many who were afraid to give expression to their opinions. After his conviction, a letter of a most extraordinary, and he should say of an iittlecent nature, appeared with the name of the Itomielt s bishop of that diocese attached to it. That letter condemned the course adopted by , the counsel for the prosecution, the Government, and all the proceedings of that trial throughout, and the object was to excite the people to believe that the unfortunate man was sacrificed, and that he was innocent. When the Government had determined that the law in that re gard should takd its course, the people were called upon from the altar, to stay away from the execution, and persons ware posted on the road to watch those who dared to disobey that mandate. Under these circum stances, which no one regretted more than he did, and what, he was sorry to say, could not occur in any country but Ireland, and which were not unusual there, he should wish that those Noble Lords, and those per sons who were anxious to bring in some other measures to accompany the one recently brought in by the Go vernment, would take this matter into their serious consideration, and would reflect that (as had been re marked a few evenings back) by a Noble Marquis, whom he did not now see in his place, that the supremacy of the law must first be established, security given to life and property, and the country be freed from the threats bul lying and insinuations of the Roman Catholicclergy of 'lreland. This interference to which he alluded, before the trial, after the trial, and during the execution, must be prevented, and he thought that he had said enough on the subject to open people's oyes to the necessity of such interference. Under these circumstances, he wished to be informed w hether any deputation had waited on the Lord-Lieu tenant, whether 'that deputation went from Westmeath, and whether, under the peculiar circumstances of that country, it was considered by the Government that such a proceeding was harsh on the part of that deputation ? The Earl St. GERMANS said that it was not his intention to follow the Noble Marquis into any discus. :ion on the state of Ireland, but before he proceeded to answer the questions put by the Noble Marquis, he must enter his protest, if the phrase were not unparlia mentary, against the calumnious assertion, that the youths of Ireland were banded together in confe deracy aga i ns t the peace of Ireland ; he also protested against the assertion made against the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, as a body. He (Earl St. Germans) must say that many of those gentlemen were eminent for their piety and charity, and their attention to the religious and social interests of the people. He would now proceed to answer the questions which the Noble Marquis had placed upon the table; and he could not do better, he thought, than read en extract from a letter written by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State. The Lord-Lieutenant said that neither the language of the deputation nor that of any individual member of it —and he (Earl St> Ger mans) could give the names of the members composing it, but be did not think it advisable to do so—" bad the slightest influence on his mind or swayed in the smallest his judgment in the case of Brian Seery. The prin cipal object of the deputation was to represent the lawless stato of Roscommon." not of Weetaleeth, n with a view of getting the Government to enter into more stringent measures for the pacification of that country." He understood that they had stated that any leniency to Brian Seery would be looked upon as evidencing the weakness of the Government, and keep alive that sanguinary spirit which was so fetal to the peace cf the country. He apprehended that that extract would fully satisfy the questions Of the Noble Marquis. With regard to the third question, he was certain that the persons who composed that deputation were actuated solely by a sense of duty in making that representation; but, at the same time, he (Earl St. Germans) was ready to acknowledge that the proceeding was altogether an unusual one, and he was not aware that in this country such a representation was ever made by a deputation to the head of the Executive Government. He did not wish to say anything harsh, but he had no hesitation in pronouncing this a most unusual course on the part of that deputation. The Marquis of WESTMEATFI wished to explain, and said he was glad he had given the Noble Earl an opporunity of making the statement he had done. If it was nut unparlinuaentary lie (the Marquis of West meath) would say th a t the expressions he had used, which the Noble Marl had objected to, were intended to be applied to the youth lin those counties who were under the iron servitude of the Ribbon conspiracy.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad that the Noble Earl had withdrawn the expression "harsh," which had been the cause of his (the Marquis of Westmeath's) attention being called to the matter, and his qi rl ST. GERMANS eing the notice he had done. The Ea w an glad that the qualify ing of the expression had so far satisfied the Noble Mar quis; but he (Earl St. Germans) could not agree with the declaration that the whole youth of the country were affected in the manner described. He was not justified in applying such a charge to the whole youth of the country. The Earl of WESTMEATH raid he would back his opinion agaieet that of the Noble Earl in this respect. Lord S roitTom, in a very inaudible tone of voice, defended the Roman Catholics from the charges of the N o %le Marquis. It was a hard thing to say that because a ju ror teas a Catholic his oath was invalid. From the statement o:tte Noble Marquis, the House would be led to believe that tide'jury.to.which he had alluded w e r e Catholics, but he ("Lora Stourton)ts. It was hard too to say was informed that they were exclusively Protastn that a priest or a bishop theofCatholic religion must be prevented from giving proper advice to his people from the altars a his church. For !his own part, he believed that, me t w ithstanding all th e calumnies which had been heaped upon the priests of the Catbolio Church, they were still the best guardians and comfort era of the people of Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM protested against anoh a snhjeet as the proaeat 'being eonyerted into a religious questio,a., (Hear, hear).— -and he did not think that any one did any service to the great and sacred cause of the lee due administration of justice who atterptra to k, whether a jury woes Catholic or Protestant, because such discussions tended to poison the administration of jus tice at its source..--( beers.)

It having been discovered that an error had been made in the writ issued for the county of South Northampton shire the Speaker called the attention of the House to the fact, and the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to be in attendance, in order to amend the writ. The Clerk to the Crown then appeared at the table. Mr. Stafford, the returning officer was next called, and examined by the Speaker with reference to the election, and in reply to the questions of the Right Hon. Gentle man, stated that he was present at the election for South Northamptonshire, and that it was held at the usual place for returning Members to Parliament. The name of the Member was Richard llenry Howard Vyse. The writ having been amended, Mr. Stafford O'Brien and another Hon. Gentleman introduced the Hon. Member, who took the usual oaths, and was admitted to his seat for South Northamptonshire. RAILWAY BILLS. The following Railway Bills were read a second time, and were ordered to be committed, viz.:— Oldham District. Gloucester and Dean Forest. Ayrshire and Galloway. Leeds and Bradford (Junction Line at Bradford). RAILWAYS. Mr. P. BUTLER presented petitions from Limerick, and other places, in favour of the Great Munster Rail way. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition from Wolver hampton in favour of the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company. LABOURERS IN FACTORIES. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. Ile also presented a petition from six factory girls, in the employ of Messrs. Baxter and Brothers, manufacturers, of Dundee. The petitioners complained of ill-treatment at the hands of. their em ployers, and prayed the House to make come inquiry upon the subject. He (Mr.Duncombe) believed that the circuna stances of the case were these. The Messrs.Baxtere had it appeared, increased the wages of some of their' workers, and these girls made a demand for a similar increase, which was refused them. Ti.ey did not in consequence attend their work one afternoon, and when they re turned on the following morning, the six of them (the youngest being only 13 years of age) were locked up for six hours and then taken before a magistrate (but previously he might state that they had been com pelled to sign a paper making certain admissions), when they were sentenced to ten days' imprisonment, with hard labour. They, therefore, prayed the House to make inquiry into the matter, with a view to remedy this grievance. Dr. BOWRINd. presented five petitions from Bolton in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. THE CORN-LAWS. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition, signed by 5,000 of the inhabitants ot Bath, in favour of the present pro posal of her Majesty's Government with respect to the free admission of foreign grain. DUTY ON COPPER ORE. Mr. J. • PARKER presented a petition from the Cutlers' Company, Sheffield, praying the House to re peal the duty on copper ore. THE CORN-LAWS.

DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the occupiers of land in the county of Chester in favour of the present corn-laws. Mr. W. MILES presented a petition to a similar effect. Mr. MARK PHILIPS presented a petition from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in which the peti tioners stated that in consequence of the length of the present debate on the corn-laws, great embarrassment resulted to every branch of trade in the district of Lan cashire, and throughout the kingdom generally ; and they therefore prayed the House to come to as speedy a decision as possible on this question_ FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES. Captain PEW:JELL presented a petition, signed by seven hundred of the inhabitants of Brighton, praying for a free pardon for Frost, Wil'dame, and Jones. The Hon. and Gallant Member said h e had to inform the House that the parties signing the petition were most respectable, and had affixed their places of residence to their names. The Hon. Member also presented another petition from Mrs. Mary Shuttleworth, of Man chester-square, praying the House to interfere in her behalf with the Cominissionere of the Income-tax, who had, in assessing her property in the funds, neglected to pay over to her the residue, thereby occasioning her great distress, so much so that her goods had been seized for debt. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition, signed b y upwards of nine thousand of the. inhabitants of Roch dale, in favour of the Ten Honrs' Factory Bill. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY. Air. WARD begged leave to withdraw the notice of motion which he gave, namely, " That the potiti e n of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company (presented 4th February), with respect to their Bill (No. 5), be taken into consideration, and that the parties have leave to proceed with their Bill." He considered that it was better that a decision of a Com mittee should be erroneous than that it should be impugned. The standing orders were the protect ing barrier of private interests. But when he had heard that in this case, the Committee, themselves were divided in the proportion of fire to four on the subject, matter of this petition. Be looked upon the decision of the Commute as a 3 a virtual abolition of the standing orders—such decision giving the power to any indivi dual landowner to throw out any private Bill. Since he had presented the petition, hcwever, he had been convinced that tho parties to the petition , had themselves not done all that they should have done, and that they had been guilty of lathes, and that they had actually not surveyed the lands of those who were their friends, although they might have done so before the 30th of November. H., therefore, considered that the case had fallen through, and he now begged to withdraw the motion which stood upon the paper in his name.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. Si? ROI3EIIT PEEL rose to present a petition from the shipowners of Tynemouth, signed by 108 shipowners, representing 260 shins. The petition stated that the in ' terests of the petitioners would be extremely benefited by a reduction on the duties of timber. He be lieved that the petition was signed by almost all the shipowners of Tynemouth, with the exception of three or four. The Right Hon. Baronet here sat down, but rose again immediately, and said that the Hon. Member for Durham had nsoved that a petition pre sented from the shipowners of the port of London should be printed, with the view of founding a motion upon it. Several petitions had been presented from other places, which petitions took views entirely adverse from those of the shipowners of London, and it could not be against the rules of the House to allow those petitions to be printed also. Ile-, therefore, begged leave to move that a petition lately presented from the shipowners of Dun dee, and which rite quite in conformity with the one presented from the shipowners of London, should be printed.—(Hear, hear.) He also begged leave to move that a letter from George Frederick Young, Esq., the Chairman of the General Shipowners' Society, on the subject of the timber duties and colonial-built ships, should likewise be printed. NOTICES OF MOTION.—BLZILLIAN NUNS. Mr. COOPER gave notice, that on the sth of March he should move for copies of dispatches which had been sent by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, reht, tive to the persecution inflicted on the BealElan nuns. a t Minsk. THE TARIFF. Mr. MITCHELL wished to pttt quest; on to the Right lion. Baronet at the head of the Gover ument. He wished to know if it was the intention of thr,, Government, in passing the proposed measure, to allow %hat part of the tariff which effected smaller artiel:ea to stand over until the corn question was sett,', e d? Sir ROBERT PEEL st:al it veas his intention to proceed as rapidly as te could with the other articles of the tariff. He certif'ddy could not foretf3l to what length the discussion uynora the question would reach. Mr. MITCI I _.e:LL said his reason for asking was to learn if Ow other articles mentioned the tariff could not ba talowed to be proceeded with before the corn questkon was settled. That he feared 1 vould give rise to diswasion of a month or six weeks' dui ation. Sir R. PEEL, in reply, stated thy. t it was his baton tiorA to proceed with the corn cinestio CHANNEL ISLANDS. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask what mailing had been taken, according to the promise' made last session by the Government, with reference t o the iednsinistra tion of justice 'relative to the Channel, Islands. - Sir JAMES GRAHAM stated :th at t Committee bad been appointed about a month since, and they had not yet received their report.
