Th ey cons id er it s C Y' ,, r,tnal operation therefore, rs al mos t certa i n to .be productive of ex• traurdinary inconvenience to the PDPu I. 3 ' L ion . The y view it,- moreover, as consequently extravagant in the scheme of it s expen di tunn frinat the country - requires an i ncruase a nd re - o rg a nization of its defensive force, eNr_ltyb;dy is egreinl. The necessity, indeed, is so generAy and so clearly recog' nisei' that all are united in demanding that two cba racteristica of the increase should be FScured• forth with—namely, filet that inore , se of defensive power for England should be spFedy•and effectual. Now, on the very face of the measure still under the consi deration of Parliathent neither of these characteristics is anywhere discoverable. Even the . most strenuous among the support?rs of the Bill have every one of them confe s sed that the advnetages it will yield cannot by any possibility ha immediate. The militia . Will manifestly require time--.?nd no inconsiderable lapse of time either—l.:lore i can be brought into a reasonable Rtate-of discipline. Some think that the raw recruits of the militia rosy be drilled into this state of discipline in six innnthen More believe that double the nurnher thf !IS wll be found alone adequate to biing the men. into ordiury condition as soldiers. Last 'evenin g th e Du ke of WELLINGTON claimed a wider calcalliba, declaring th a t "eighte en months" _would , be the- interval- riecossery to be passed with industrious d r i meg, order to bring the troops to the de 6 i red discipline Yet the principal plea put forward in beiwf of th e accept ance of this singular illeostue by the Legislat ure is— that it is imperatively d , handed by a great and grievous emergency. In fact, u p" the stren gt h o f forced that emergency the Bill ha', bet- 11 upon the at- tentien of both Lords and Commons, has been hastily debated, has bean hastily driven to the stages already passed, and gives promise of being hastily impelled through the remaining ordeals, un til it becomes, in the midst of all its crudity and unpopu larity, transformed into a very unripened and otherwise, we might even call it, a very green enactment. Another inconsistency in reference to the measure is that its more conspicuous advocates have, while excusing themselves upon the reasoning of the existence o f a grea t danger for hurrying it precipitately through Parliament, protested, almost without one solit ar y exce ption, that there is no chance whatever of a war breaking out between this country and the rest of Christendom. They proclaim the danger to beimminent, and yet they admit the inten tions of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of France to be most pacific sad conciliatory. They say in one breath ' that there is momentary peril of an invasion o f Eng land, and oa that m there is not the slightest probability of any enc roachment upon our domini ons f rom the most ncrent warlike nation of the continent. So extraordinary and immediate is the peril of our position, according to the supporters of the Bill, that they are solicitous to raise an expensive force of 80,000 militia, although s ix, or twelve, or even eighteen months (if we are to accept the estimate of the illustrious Commander-in- Chief as authoritative) must he consumed before they can he brought into a state of disci. pline. Instead of building up a rational fence for the country, they are for planting young saplings that it will require a preposterous lapse of time and care to bring to anything like maturity. The entire project, •in fine, according to the, argu ments usually employed in its favour, is one almost certain to prove useless, because precipitately con jured into existence and hurried through the Legis lature without proper solicitude or premeditation. Yesterday the Militia Bill was read a second time in the House of Lords, and thereupon duly ordered to be committed on Thursday. The discussion called forth ?you the occasion, after the close of the introductory speech of the PRIME MINISTER, was rendered remarkable by eliciting the opinion entertained by his Grace the Commander-in- Chief in reference to the proposed enactment. The measure has the advantage of having obtained in the House of Commons the approval of Lord PALMERSTON, and in the House of Peers the approbation of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The most rational, and, therefore, of course, the most forcible argu ment yet adduced in favour of the militia was contained in the remarks which yester day fell from the lips of his Grace, and effected more for the popularity of the Bill than any reason hitherto advanced. The Duke of WELLINGTON ob served, in reference to the intended militia—" They will enable us to employ in the field others who are fit for service !" It has already been dreaded in some quarters that this allusion from the Commander-in- Chief was indicative of an ulterior design on the pert of the authorities to embark upon a series of wars with the nations of Christendom. Any such supposition as this ive believe to be altogether ridi culous. The context of the speech delivered yester day in the House of Lords by the Commander-in- Chief proves it to be entirely ridiculous. What the observation above quOted had reference to was ob vious, from the previous vs well as from the subsequent remarks of the Duke of WELLINGTON. His Grace referred not so much to foreign wars, such as wars with France, or wars with Germany, or wars in the Peninsula, as to the wars in which we ore already 'at this moment embarked, such wars as the war in Kafirland, or as the war in the Burmese territories. The Duke observed, and with some show of justice, that in those places our soldiers had fre quently to combat, under a pressure of very extraor dinary difficulties, arising, as he maintained, from the insufficiency of our peace establishment. Therefore, and peculiarly therefore, he remarked of the militia —" They will enable us to employ in the field others who are fit for service." Still, though the argu ment was ingeniously applied to the approval of the Militia Bill by his Grace the Duke of WEL LINGTON, it cannot be regarded as altogether so sa tisfactory as to be conclusive in demonstrating the necessity of the proposed enactment. The fact re ferred to by his Grace would demand rather a mode rate increase of the regular army than the raising of 80,000 militia. No—still we exclaim—instead of a militia as a means of national defence, let England witness the re-organization of her maritime force and the increase of her marine artillery. We have never been the advocates for what have been termed " coercion Acts," except under circum stances of great and paramount necessity. We clearly recognise the principle that it is not until the powers of the ordinary law of the land have been brought into full operation, and that they are clearly and unequivocally proved to be inadequate to the emergency, and incapable of affording due protection to persons and property, that extraordinary restric tive measures should be resorted to. Nothing uncon stitutional in its character—and all coercive enact ments must be more or less so—should be sanctioned, unless it be shown that it is but a choice of evils, and that the balance is greatly in favour of the contemplated provisions. We also admit that the restrictive Bill should be accompanied, if not preceded, by remedial measures, so that, while the majesty of the law is vindicated, every well-founded cause of complaint that could by a possibility have led to discontent or disturbance should be simultaneously removed. These are, we believe, the points usually insisted on by the opponents of such Bills, and their principal arguments are direetcd• to establish their validity. It laid, therefore, materially narrow the issue and shorten the discussion if in the outset we freely and unhesi tatingly assent to the accuracy of these premises. But, notwithstanding these general admissions, we think that an overwhelming case has been made out for the renewal of the Crime and Outrage Act (Ire land), 11 and 12 Vie., chap. 89, and that the Go vernment would have been guilty of a gross derelic tion of duty, if they had omitted to obtain its exten sion for a limited period. In the first place, it must be borne in mind that it is not a now measure brought forward for the first time, the effects of which can only be anticipated, and respecting which no arguments derived from experience can be adduced. It is a very different thing, in. deed, to introduce new penal enactments, creat ing new climes, or imposing new restrictioes, or to continue far a farther limited period those, which had for some time preelously been in ope ration. ' In demanding, ns in the present in itance, a renewal of powers, all that the proposer would have to establish was, that the untoward state of affairs, which had in the first instance led to legis lation, bad . not completely passed ; 'and, secondly, that tlt) provisions had been—we will not say effsetual, the fact of a renewal being required Would show that could not have been the case—but ` ne ficial, and in some degree useful for the coe tetnPlated objects. ang. s_ t hese points were establi s h e d b e y on d the pE:k the o •Y of doubt' e not only in the f a cts con t a i n ed i n Ireland, tqt rent Of the Attoraey-General of i Commttee t by the ev id ence ta k en b e f ore the Select of the House of Commons on crime and Outrage end Leath. eLee' age in Armagh., Monaghan, December, 184 a e first Act bad been pa sse d i n election) agralia frequent, and th e ex u (shortly a ft er th e l ast general ' , when outrages had been !un h appily but, too teein g laws bad been shown to be ', s ufficient either to repress crime or to punish yearbtlzebre increased hac b' eennole i s n a bad not pawed away, the critarinali. tb e t than 620 of such outssg", and in 1851 t - 0 1,013, or nearly 40 per o as the This fearful augmentation d that t 9. the addition. to 9 e s x i7g ncy co:ncerned, but c., prove more urgent, at th e amount and character of crim e was that it was even present moment than in 1847, and, therefore, if the otigioql • ustiueu, there i, enact ments could at all be .1 cause for their renewal or rathe r e far greater ven .

If the murder of the late lamented Mr. BATESON—or any one of a doz2n others to which we could easily refer—stood alone, it would be amply sufficient to justify, nay more, to render imperative the renewal of the Act. But thereis another reason why it s r enewa l f or a limited period is essential. Nothing can be more impolitic than in any case to let it appear as if the law could be defeated. Enactments such as those above referred to should be suffered to wear them selves out; there should be no persons awaiting their trials at the time of the law expiring. Now there are, unfortunately, many persons now in custody for various offences under the Act, and the effect of its operation not being extended would be that they should be discharged with im punity. Its expiring would, in fact, as asserted by the Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Attorney-Gaieral for Ireland, act as a general gaol delivery. Nothing could be more objectionable than such a result, or more injurious to the peace and tran quillity of the country than the simultaneous discharge of so many bad characters. 97% 98% 98 40% 40 22% % Vi 778 % 4 5 / 8 3 /, 18 Although the Act did not prove effectual, we have bad the testimony of unimpeachable witnesses as to the advantages obtained from its operation.

By candidates, no less then constituents, it will be found eminently usetul— recounting 23 it does with tabular lucidity, as well as with tabular compactness, the most impertant cir cumstances attendant upon the contested el%ctione of the last twenty years. From 1832 to 1852—one of the most momentous of oil the political epochs of the country, and one of the most memorable of ell the periods recorded in the history of civilization—no less than five general elections haveelreedy eccutred. A sixth must now be very speedily added to the list, and one which must render 1852 not less noticeable in the annals of Parliament, than 1847, or 1841, or 1837, or 1835, or 1832—those intei vats of profound popu lar agitation. Never was the result of a general election made the theme of more numerous or more contradictory predictions. According to some among the more infatuated Protectionists, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may count upon having a clear majority of some forty or fifty, instead of having—what is expected by the more sanguine Free traders—a yet more marvellously diminished mi nority. Meanwhile the Prune Minister himself—the chivalrous and (except when goaded into explanation) taciturn Earl of Derby—avows his conviction that no working majority can be expected for his side in the House of Commons, of sufficient unanimity and esprit de corps to enable him to revive the golden dream of the agriculturists. Precisely at this junc ture has the volume, recounting the electoral facts of nearly the whole of the quarter of a century last past, been published. Nothing could by possibility be more happily timed. Besides which the gentleman who has undertaken the onerous and (all things considered) the really responsible task of com pilation, has long secured to himself, and long en joyed, a very high reputation for general accuracy. Insomuch that within the walls ot the very Parlia ment itself Dod is repeatedly quoted as an authority no less conclusive in regard to the elections than _Hansard is allowed to be in reference to the debates. In completeness, in detail, in arrangement, and in its scrupulously cautious revision, the present issue sur pasaes even the best (meaning the latest) of its pre decessors. As a kind of preliminary chapter to the information forming the bulk of the work, we find due mention of the elections of Speakers, and the duration of the Parliaments which have assembled since the first comprehensive reform of the Legisla ture. Manners Sutton in 1833, and James Abercromby in 1835, 53 also in 1837, had the privilege of presiding over the House of Commons as Mr. Speaker -- the latter being thus memorable as Speaker to the last Parlia ment of William IV. and to the first Parliament of Victoria. Since 1839 Charles Shaw Lefevre has occupied the lofty position constituting him the first gentleman in England—having succeeded Aber cromby on his resignation, thereup on o bt a i n i ng 317 in opposition to 299 votes accorded to Henry Gout burn,—his subsequent elections to the Speaker's chair in the two following Parliaments of 1841 and 1847 having been carried, as must be remembered, without the slightest attempt at opposition. It re mains to be seen whether the caprice of fortune will prevent the return to the head of a fourth Parliament, of a man of whom poor Feargus O'Connor said, without much extravagance, the other evening, that he was the best Sp raker that ever sat in the chair of the House of Commons. After his record of the election of Speakers and the duration of Parliaments, Mr. Dcd still prefaces the volume with another preliminary group of statistics—relating this time to the Reform Act Averages. From this table of figures an extra ordinary scrice of deduction!) are derivable—deduc tions such ae, we feel assured, cannot but influence the Reformers of the United Kingdom so far as to inspire them with an additional desire to secure. a wider extension of the franchise. When, for example, it is remembered that in England merely one person in every 24, in Wales one in every 23, in Scotland one in every 45, and in Ireland one in every 115 are alone entitled to vote as county electors, it must surely be manifest that something is seriously re quired in the way of Parliamentary improve ment. - When, moreover, it is considered, as to borough electors, there are only one in every 18 in the entire population of the country, still further reason is surely given for an extension of the fran chise throughout the multitude. According to a curious calculation of Mr. Dod's, each Member may be considered as representing 27,794 persons in England, 27,799 in Wales, 44,624 in Scotland, 73,975 in Ireland, 29,407 in Great Britain, and, in the aggres gate - 36,519 in the United Kingdom. This is, of course, upon the understanding that the numbers are compared with the population. Compared with the electors, we find that the Membets yield ore to every 1,314 electors in Etigland, and 30 no will) 1,280 in Waits, with 1,215 in ticotlairJ, with 887 in Ireland, with 1,313 in Great Britain, and with 1,235 in the United ICingdom. Among the many advantages crowded into this voluine of 374 pages, must also be especially noticed the copious in dex et the conclusion, giving, in ;la alpba beYieiil form, the names not only of all Mem bers and candidates from 1832 to 1852, but those alto of honed Members antecedently. Desides all which the Electoral Filets here given comprise the local position of the city, borough, or county, the nature of the constituency, the prevailing influence, the number of registered elect o r s , th e annua l va lue ot real property paying income-ta x , th e amoun t o f as sessed taxes, the population, the prevailing trades, the noted elections, the newspaper politics and sale, to gether with the polls for the last twenty years at every place returning a Member to Parliament — surely an abundant store of useful a n d prac ti ca l in formation !

The Produce Markets generally are very well sup ported, and there is a large business doing. Sugar is in somewhat fuller supply. The AmsterdanigtOck Market on the 14th inst. was not quite so buoyant for Dutch Securities, owing to the realization of profits. Tho Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 62 13-16ths. Spanish and Portuguese Bonds were without variation, Grenada rather in fa vour, and Venezuela more offered. The extraordinary abundance of cash is perplexing the wisest heads in the mercantile and banking world, and each one asks his neighbour what the result will be of all the gold importation from Australia. The Blackwell, one of the two ships that has 300,0001. on board, has arrived, and the General Hewitt will no doubt speedily follow. The joint-stock banks are disinclined in many instances to allow any interest, and the discount brokers have too much money at command. The movement for establishing tribunals of commerce seems in a fair way of progressing now without let or hindrance from personal difficulties.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat in to-day's market was very limited, and in but middling condition. Al though the attendance of buyers was by no means ex tensive, the demand ruled steady, at fully Monday's pricer. For forward delivery exceedingly little was doing. The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,710 quarters. Really good qualities sold steadily, at full currencies, but low and middling parcels com manded very little attention. Several floating cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn changed hands. Distilling Barley was quite as dear, but malting and grinding sorts met a dull inquiry. Malt, the supply of which ready for delivery wai on the increase, moved eff slo/.ly, at b a rely lateopurrencies. The show of Oat samples was good. A fair average business was transacted at the late decline. Beans and Peas commanded full quotations, but the inquiry for Flour was somewhat inactive. RIUVALS THIS W.E1.1.15 .

(Beforo Mr. Secondary POTTER ) A PLEA OF INFANCY.—CLEMENTS V. WYNNE. This was an actun to recover the snm of lot, on a promissory cote. Defendant pleaded that at the time he made the note ho was en infant under the age of 21. Defendant's fa►ther was called and proved that de fendant was born on the 22d of April, 1830. Mr. TAPPING, for the plaintiff; submitted that the de fendant had not made out his plea, for he had not shown when the note was made, for it might not have been made for a month after it bore the date, or defendant might have kept it in his pocket until alter ho was of age; it was payable on demand. Mr. CROSS, for the defendant, in reply, contended that it was sufficient that the date of the note was set out in the declaration. The Learned SECONDARY thought that there was a differenca between a promissory note and a bill of ex change as to a defendant being obliged to prove the date it was made; and he would leave the case to the jury. Tile fury, after a abort consultation, gava a verdict for defendant. The Learned SECONDARY took a note of thm objcc. tions, and en application to move the Court above, that the verdict was contrary to evidence. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.; OLD (Before Mr. B aron AL COI?T. DERSONUaria Mr. Justice COLE RIDGE.) Henry Baker, a surgeon, was indicted for a mis demeanour, tor keeping an unlicensed lunatic asylum. Toe prosecution was instituted at the instance of the Commissioners of Lanacy. The defendant pleaded not guilty. M. Clatkson appeared for the prosecution, anti Mr. Ballantine conducted the defence. Mr. CLARKSON opened the case for the prosecution, and detailed the facts to the jury, which have so very re cently been before the public that it is not necessary to repeat them. At the close of his opening, Mr. BALLANTINE said it appeared to him that the object of the Commissioners was to close the house which had been kept by the defendant, Now, the de fendant had committed this offence in ignorance of the law, and ho was quite ready to find substantial bail that the offence should not he repeated. Mr. CLARESON said the only desire the Commissioners had in entering upon the prosecution was to vindicate the majesty of the law. He understood that this watt the fourth prosecutioe which the Commission had instituted of this nature, and be was happy to know that in each of these cases ine course suggested by his Learned Friend was adopted. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said it was of great public im portance that none but licensed lunatic asylums should be allowed to exist, particularly when the asylum was a private one. There were those who thought that the law ought to prohibit all private lunatic asylums, whe thee licensed or not, and he confessed he was very much of that opinion, as very great temptations were placed in the way of the keepers, while in case3'where privacy was desirable a remedy could be found by establishing pri vate wards in our public asylums. Mr. BALLANTINE repeated that no one more regretted what had happened than his client, but ho was in a po sition to inform the Court that the only imputation was simply that of neglecting to take out a licence. In other respects there was nothing against him, for it was admitted on all hands that he had displayed great hu manity towards his unfortunate patients, who could not be considered as absolutely insane, and their friends were quite satisfied with his treatment. Mr. Baron ALDERSON asked who had the power of granting the licence? _ Mr. CLARKSON replied, the Commissioners. Mr. Baron ALDErtsori—Well, is the prosecution satis fied with the dekndant's proposal? Mr. CLARKSON replied in the affirmative. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in that case, directed the de fendant to find bail to come up when called upon for judgment, himself in 1,0001., and two sureties in 5001. each. The bail was put in, and the defendant liberated. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Man c h es t er G uardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.--By the Africa we learn that the total receipts of cotton at the American ports were 2,860,450 against 2,189,017 last year, and for the week 40,219 against 19,675. We are also informed that a giving way of ie. to sc. per lb. had occurred in the New York market, whilst in the south, however, prices remained unaltered. Hardly ever have the prospects of the growing crop been more propitious, or the complaints fewer as to its condition; and it would seem that this fact is beginning to exercise some influence upon the mar ket. The sales in Liverpool yesterday were only 3,000 to 4,000 bales, and in the lower qualities prices were slightly in favour of the buyer; although, very discredit. ably, the telegraph announced them, at noon, at 6,000 bales, without any change in prices. To-clay, oven the telegraph report limits the business to 2,000 to 3,000 bales, and admits a decline of These accounts have produced a very marked tffset upon our yarn market, which is very sensitive to any change in the raw mate rial. The cautious feeling has been revived in the minds of buyers, disinclining them to repeat offers which they last week made withoutsuccess; whilst sellers have become more willing to listen to terms which they then declined. To say the least, the former have a better choice; and, in many kinds, need not pay what they would have had to give a week ago, by id. per lb., for although some of the spinners hold to . their previous quotations, others are more pliable. The exceptions to this statement aro 60's and upwards for Russia, which are rendered dearer by the rise of same demand, and also certain descrip tions of favourite warps. Goods, which were relatively cheaper than yarns, are less affected than they; but the general bias is rather against the producers. In cloth the market has been inanimate, and the business compara tively small; in yarns, extremely dull, and the transac tions altogether inconsiderable. The India accounts, extracts from which are given below, have contributed in some degree to render the market quiet. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.--The demand for flannels con tinuos goad, and those manufacturers who were willing to take former prices had no difficulty in selling their goods. On account of the rise in price of the raw ma terial some of the manufacturers held out for better prices, which the merchants very reluctantly submitted to. There has been a better demand for wool, and prices are very firm. MACCLESFIELD, THESDAY,—The market for silk ma nufactured goods has not undergone any alteration for the better since our last report. Manufacturers com plain of the want of business, and of the prices tendered for goods not being commensurate with the present high price and upward tendency of the raw sad thrown materials, consequently a consider able number of hand-loom weavers are unemploy, in this towe. Some manufacturers have put their soft Olt winding departments on short time. In the thrown silk market there is apparently rather more doing le fine descriptions, and middling Bengals and Chinas; but manufacturers appear tardy in making purchases, except on the hand to mouth system. The raw silk market may be quoted in much the same state as noticed in our last, acing characte rised by considerable firmness. The overland letters from Shanghae report the market higher for China silks. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. —There has been rather more business done in our piece -hall today than for some weeks past, but chiefly in lastings of low quality, there being but little inquiry for any other description of goods. The spinners are obtaining a slight advance on some sorts of yarn, but the quantity changing hands t is e very limited. There is more doing in wool, apart but quotations are exceedingly firm.

Mr. ANSTEY said he wiihcd to draw the attention of the Speaker to one or two points of order. It would be remembered that a short time ago an:f - lortourable Friend of his, who was epesking on the Maynooth question , was stopped in the middle of his speech by the Speaker leaving the chair, four o'clock having arrived; and yet yesterday, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer wee speaking at four o'clock, the House was allowed to go on sitting up to five o'clock. Now, he wanted to know thy a distinction had been drawn between the two cases. Again, it would be remembered that a few days ego, while they were dividing in Committee of Supply, three Her. Members were found in the lobby, and forced to come into the Reuse upon a question which they had not heard d e b ate d or pat from the choir; and yet yesteedei evening, when a count oat was moved by a sepporter of the Government, three Members who were warding behind the lobby, and who would have made up the House had they been counted, were allowed to retreat into the lobby. Now, ho wished to know if the rule which applied to ono case of forcing the Member; 1 0 attend in their place was not Equally applicable to the other. The SPEAKER said, in answer to the first question+ he must remind the Hous© that by a new rule whic h had recently been made, when the House met at twelve ' o'clock on any other day hut Wednesday , and sat till three o'clock, the House nedt at five o'clock, but if the House continued sitting up till :our o'clock the ch a i r was o b l i ged to be vacated, and, the House did not meet again until sir. Yesterdah however, the House did not meet at twel ve but at one o'clock, and the rule therefore did not apply to that instance.—(A laugh.) With re' gard to the next question, he had no hesitation in stating that a Member could not be required to vote wild ha d not heard the ques ti on put, and if i n thet case an Honourable Member was found in th e lobby while the division was going on he would be directed to withdraw; but with regard to the Dist ques tion, the Chair could only count the Members who wer e actually in the Howe, and although there might h e a hundred Members behind the chair or in the lobbies, yet if there were not forty Members in tho House th e business could not be proceeded with, nor Ceuta any Member be perziaitted to address the Chair. Mr. BERNAL thought it was important that 3 rule should be defined whether Members not actually with in the four walls of the House should be called on to vote; Formerly Members in t h e l o bbi es vote d, bu he should now b e gu id e d b y what the S pe aker had stated—that o nly those Menabra could vote wu were present and heard the question put. Mr. HUME admitted he was a little irregular in ii 2 ( l terrupting the Speak e r l ast night, but when ho stepp ed at thirty-eight, and he (Mr. Hume) saw seven,' Members behind the chair, he naturally called at tendon to the fact. He also saw twenty 12° , rn e Members outside th e d oor. T hirty years ago, when `, was a teller in a di v i s i on , M r. Wilberforce retired behind SolomOn's porch (th e S pea k er ' s chair) and was not counted; he was, however, noticed and on his (j't . d • Hume's) motion, h e was called to th e t a ble, and te , k e whether he had heard the question put, and on „ v e r i ; ing in the negative, it was read t o hi m , when he stated °a which side he should vote, and be was accordinglyinclud e e in the division. He certainly .thought there was grea:, ground for compl a i nt in respect to the " count out last night. Th e question brought on by the Ho n ' h Member was of gr ea t pu bli c importance, and it she ri tl . not have been met i n the way it had been by the oi te d vernment. He hoped a Committee would be appeen` o in the next P ar li ament to lay down some def i n i te rules for the guidance of the House on divisions. The SPEAKEIi. observed, that the mode of c onduct' . jag divisio ns i n t h e o ld H ouse was somewhat different to that now adopted. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that to-morrow be shoul d move, that when the House is cou n t e d th e S er geant-at . Arms be directed to lock the doors, and that all Mel" bers both in the body of the House and in the lobbies be counted. The conversation then dropped. (LEFT SITTING.) HAMPTON RACES.

POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. The professor of chemistry, Mr. J. H. p e pper, e°, 113 .: menced hero on Monday a roost popular subjec t Englishmen, viz.—Ale-brewing, and the alleged adul teration of the justly f ame d an d favourite bi tte r ale o. ` Messrs. Salt and Co., and other Burtuu brewers , t, ° which the learned gentlemen had paid especial visits, IT" was, therefore, able to speak as au eye.witness of the perfect integrity .of the operations conducted in . te ; establishments. The lecturer c.:+inmenced with a r i e v ' e of the process of fermentation, which might 4'4 .be termed one of transmutation, and illustrated by In structive diagrams end l uc id exp l anat i on t h a t the stare in the barley was converted partly by the first process °I malting into sugar, and a curious principle coutainii4 nitrogen, called diastase. This curious agent converts the rest of the starch in the cperatioa of gashing in t° grape sugar, which, fermented by yeast (another nitro genous compound), was converted into alcohol. Til e , starch and the sugar co n t a i n t h e same qua ntity 01 . carbon with variable quantities of oxygen and hydrogge,ll in the proportions to form water; so that the shirt one's back may be turned chen3 - !cally into alcohol (vaigo, gin) with Out that common mode of appealing to 1 " pawnbroker first; b ecause li nen is liquine, this can be converted into grap e sugar b y boiling with s ulphuric acid, and the grape sugar may b e f ermen t e d into alcoho l. He omitted t o ment i on the addition of hops a f te r the mashing, which afford the well-kn ow n grateful and aro matic bitter, perf ec tl y unl i ke and superior to an y other principle of th e same nature. After the lectur er had spoken with th e hi ghest encomium of the c l ea nliness, order, regul ar i ty, and magnitude, of the brewer y opera tions conducted in 13urton•on-Trent, he alluded in the . to be very simple, although some persons bad sta ted last plice t o th e d etect i on of strychnine, w hi c h was proved . there were no testy th at cou ld b e a pplied to this purpose! Vt,riuus e x p er i ments were di sp l aye d w ith Otto 's and Lewis Thempson's tests, As well as by a new test, disco vered by the lea: vied lecturer, Mr. Pepper, which wasstt:tsp; able of detecting the 10-70,000th'of a g""2.ilialleL%ndo-tu had all been applied to the Litter ale obtained emp . and Barton, and Mr. Pepper was enabled most atßurt n o a n, tically to state that bitter ale, RS P r eoPnr. of malt, hops , WAS really a genuine article, and made y and spring water. ---------- BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. —It appears that to Saturday last 126 public Bills had been introduced in the present session, of which 20 bad received the Royal assent ; 42 were introjueed by the Derby Ministry (now i n gress), 11 by 3l by by private Members of both HOUSCS, and 22 Bill s h ad been the Russell Alinigtry (now in progress), withdrawn or rejected.
