The Lords met last evening, and sat for a short time, but transacted no business of importance. The SPEAKER. took the chair at Four o'clock. The SrEAKEs. informed the House that the securities for the prosecution of the petition against the return for Brid port were unexceptionable. Mr. HAW Es gave notice of his intention, on Monday next, to move that all proceedings on the North-Kent Railway Bill should be stayed, until the report was made of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into those lines of railway the termini of which were proposed to be in the City. Several Railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. HAWES, on the bringing up of the report from the Committee on the petition for leave to introduce the Cale donian Extension Railway Bill, moved, " That the report be referred back to that Committee, with an instruction to them to entertain the petition of WILLIAM MAXWELL ALEX ANDER and others, sworn witnesses upon it. After some discussion strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, in consequence of the opposition to the motion being withdrawn. The motion was corsequently agreed to. Mr. PLUMPTREE gave notice of his intention, after Easter, to itrive for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act for the Endowment of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth. Sir R. PgEr., in answer to a question from Mr. J. COLLETT, said he would state on Monday for what period he should propose the House should adjourn for the Easter holidays. Sir. J. GRAHAM moved the resumption of the adjourned debate on the first reading of the Irish Life and Property Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved as an amendment—" That while the House deplores the existence of outrage in Ireland, and is sincerely anxious for its repression, it is of opinion that such outrage will be aggravated, not removed, by the arbi trary, unjust, and unconstitutional enactments of this Bill, and that it is the duty of Parliament to adopt such measures as will tend to eradicate the causes which produce these crimes, instead of resorting to laws which will harass and oppress the innocent, without restraining the guilty, and which, being restrictive of public liberty, cannot - fail to augment national discontent." He was happy to hear the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the Home Department, on moving the first reading of the Bill the other night, admit that the murders and crimes that had been perpetrated in Ireland were not of a po litical, sectarian, or religious character. In Ireland, if any coercion Bill was required, it was upon the landlords, and not the peasantry. His motion was directed to remedies; he :did nor de!q *Murders that had taken place. It was toe 54".-tir:trisat:critnes had been perpetrated in Ireland, anti. . irhe e4htlkdairill would remedy the evils, no one would IPT Q gr / 9 ,4 0 00094 iti 044 lakusif; but boliglipg 6h4 ~~`, tii ~I '\ t would have a contrary effect, he should give it his most I determined opposition. The Bill gave the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland arbitrary power and unlimited authority. If instead of proposing such a Bill as the present, they were to make an alteration in the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, give to the people of that country a greater fran chise, and more representatives, and compensation to tenants for improvements, allow an extension to the Ulster Tenant Act, and impose an absentee tax, they would then do some real good for Ireland. Captain OSBORNE seconded the amendment. He believed that the measure was not calculated to answer the objects it had in view, but that it would increase the misery of the people of Ireland. The House was afterwards addressed by Mr. Sidney Her bert, Lord J. Russell, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Seymour, Mr. Butler, and Mr. R. A. Fitzgerald. On the motion of Mr. CAREW, the debate was adjourned. The remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock. Sir HENRY HARDINGE and Sir HUCH GOUGH, as we stated yesterday, are to be raised to the Peerage, and, in accordance with the usual practice, they will be further rewarded with pensions for their own lives and the lives, probably, of the two next heirs. To these honours and pensions the people of this country will give their he arty concurrence, and they would also be gra tified if a mark of royal favour, and something also more substantial, were conferred upon Sir H. SMITH, for his admirable generalship displayed at Aliwal, and the striking influence which the remarkable victory gained at that place had upon the military operations that fol- lowed. The battles of Moodkee and Ferozeshah were as glorious in every respect as they could be un der such circumstances ; but the generals were crippled for want of means : they had neither heavy artillery nor a command of cavalry, nor a suffi cient quantity of ammunition to follow up their victories, and the consequence was, that not only the Seikhs, bat the native population of India, began to ..uspect that no advantages had been gained, and that a renewal of the contest might lead to the most serious results. The batte of Aliwal, however, left no doubt whatever that a decisive victory had been gained, and gained too, in a way which established the vast superiority of the English General, as well as the in domitable bravery of the troops under his command. This could not fail to have a powerful moral effect upon the armies, Anglo-Indian as well as Seikh, which fought at Sabraon. To this distinguished officer, as well as to those who served under him, honours and rewards are due, and the public will, therefore, be glad to see from the Gazette of Friday that promotions in consequence have been granted to many of the commissioned officers; 3ut the people of England would like to see the system of rewards for noble services carried much further, and the humble soldier made to share in them, along with those who led them on to victory. The devotion of the men, natives as well as English, is admitted on all hands to have been rarely or never equalled. In the battles of the 21st and 22d of December, we are only astonished ghat they were able to fight at all. They were fatigued —worn out by long marches ; they were without food, and almost faint from want of water ; they had a formidable enemy to encounter, an enemy, whose fame had extended over the whole of Hindostan, supported, too, by batteries of heavy guns in a strong position; they fuught at every disadvantage, yet, alike forgetting their sufferings, and disdaining the bribes of the enemy, they rushed to the contest, and achieved, though with enormous loss, almost an unexpected vic tory. In these battles the stern firmness and daring courage of the men did nearly the whole work, for there was little room for the display of manoeuvres ; and on them, therefore, the country would be glad to see something more substantial conferred than votes of thanks. The turn which affairs, too, have taken, attri butable in a great measure to the gallantry of the troops, :enders some fair compensation of the kind more neces sary. The chief city of the Punjaub, unlike that of Sinde, has escaped capture ; the treasures of gold and silver, and ♦aluable jewels, of which such a large amount was taken at Hyderabad, will remain with the original possessors, and the victorious troops are thus deprived of a rich booty, to which they were entitled. We therefore trust that the East India Company, as well as the Government, will take these circumstances into consideration, and vote such grants to the officers and privates as may be con sidered a just compensation and a fair reward for deeds which have, to all appearances, brought a hazardous war to a speedy and glorious conclusion, and saved the Company millions of additional expenditure. Mr. O'CONNELL last night moved an amendment upon the first reading of the Protection of Life (Ireland) Bill, and made a long speech in support of it. The amend deplores the existence of outrage in Ireland, and urges the eradication of its causes, in the place of the measure demanded by the Government. this eradication he considers may be effected by various measures, such as, first and chiefly, will prevent the abuses of property, and especially those connected with the clearance system; and next, others that will confer equal rights, franchises, and protection upon the Irish with those which are enjoyed by the English, will give a greater number of representatives to Ireland, an im proved corporation reform, as well as a more just distri bution of the Church temporalities, an alteration in the grand jury laws, and an impartial administration of justice. The first thing that strikes us is, that assum ing the efficacy of the remedies here suggested for the social regeneration of that country, their sweeping cha racter, and the importance of each is such, that before all or any of them can become the law of the land, much more before their anticipated effects could be realised, the horrible crimes conceded by Mr. O'CoNNELL to be now deluging five of the Irish counties will con tinue unrepressed. It must be remembered that the Government stands charged with the execution of the law ; they announce to Parliament that the law is vio lently outraged, beyond their power of vindicating it, and demand increased means for effectuating the same. If life is sacrificed both by night and by day, and this through the confederation of midnight assassins, the ordinary functions of the law being established to be insufficient to suppress these outrages, what Parliament can hesitate to arm Go vernment with means adequate for the purpose ? Lord J. RUSSELL will not incur the responsibility of withholding the necessary appliances. Some of the provisions may be too stringent, but the fearful evils to be grappled with demand no ordinary remedies. These are matters of detail, and are such as, we think, however adhered to or modified in Committee, the Government will feel it to be their duty to accept as Parliament may decide. It should not be forgotten, however, that if this stringency be too much paired down, so that the iequel should prove the measure to be almost in operative, much responsibility will be incurred by those who suffer their legislative timidity to defeat the highest ends of philanthrophy. Such a result would be even worse than what we have at present to deal with ; for the midnight assassins, when they learn that Parlia ment has legislated against them, yet ineffectually, will imbibe a greater contempt for the authority of the law, and promptly spread their machinations, till they involve the length and breadth of the land in the meshes of their fearful organisation. At the same time, we most fully agree with Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that Government cannot too speedily render Parliament practically alive to their sincerity in removing any just cause of complaint the Irish may have against us, by producing as well measures of a healing and conciliatory spirit as those of coercion. In particular, we hold that the Bill announced by the Earl of ST. GERMANS, to be prepared for bettering the rela tionship of landlord and tenant, should be amongst the earliest of those to be laid on the table of either House of Parliament. This is a subject that has now been long under consideration. The clearance system is emphatically declared by Mr. O'CONNELL to be the mainspring of the Irish crimes ; he stated that, in Tipperary alone, more than one hundred and fifty thousand persons have been evicted from their holdings within the last five years. If such be the case, the state of that county is, indeed, little to be wondered at. Sir JIOSIES GRAHAM has said, that if the landlords persevere in this con duct, the Legislature must interpose. Why, then, has such procrastination been suffered, that pro bably not till after Easter will even the first reading be given to any Bill affecting this subject ? The great struggle in Ireland is for land: exorbitant rents are demanded, proportioned to the keenness of the competition and the extent of debt with which the greater part of the landed property is encum bered, by reason of the improvident spirit that has for years characterised the higher, not less than the lower orders of that country. The consequence is that the tenant cannot cultivate and enjoy a fair and profitable remuneration for his labour. Hence the produce which he has, with; his limited means, reared is exported to our markets, overflowing with capital, and Ireland is left without the incal culable advantages of home consumption. What regard can the Irish peasant have in favour of our legislation, when one moment he finds himself standing in the midst of the overflowing bounties of the soil, which he has helped to develope, and the next sees them carried to other shores, whilst he is left, with his offspring, to exist on what amounts to little short of starvation? If the agrarian system is, as we ourselves believe, the prolific source of crime, no time can be so opportune as the present for entering upon wholesome legislation 914 this bawl of Irish alAraitie4 Rhea large a sum has been voted for the furtherance of works of public utility, by which, in connexion with the forma tion of railroads, a considerable opining will be afforded for the employment of the redundant population, till the source of the evil we have pointed out is reached by salutary legislation. Parliamentary paper, No. 179, just issued by order of the House of Commons, affords us a most harrowing category of the recent homicides in Ireland. Most of these atrocious deeds have been chronicled in The Sun as they were perpetrated, together with their most im portant details, such as the causes of the different out rages, the suspicions as to the assassins, and the atrocities which accompanied the assaults. Nevertheless, it cannot but be productive of good in the formation of the most effectual and appropriate remedies for the prevention of such heinous guiltiness, if we cast a comprehensive, though cursory, glance over the aggregate of such ini quities when presented to us in a simple and classified cluster, such as this official document. The benefit to our deductions by a retrospective survey of this nature must be twofold. Firstly, it will evi dence more forcibly than heretofore the hideous depravities, the general insubordination, and the dangerous audacity which stimulate the most law less of the Irish population to the performance of mur ders the most ruthless and the most dastardly, and which consequently places the lives of the more peaceable members of the community in imminent peril; by which means the necessity for some immediate and efficacious interference on the part of the Government will become more apparent than ever. Secondly, it will tend to en lighten us as to the social grievances from which these efforts at assassination spring ; by which knowledge a clue may be discovered which may conduct us to the very root of the evil. Acting upon this principle, the Legislature would instantly stay the progress of a great moral disease ; it would not potter over the social condition of millions by endeavouring simply to destroy the effects, while the causes were entirely overlooked. The heads of the dire hydra would no longer be lopped off to spring forth anew ; its heart would be assailed : the further development of murder would be prevented by striking at the point in which that arch-sin is germinated, and from which every successive instance of its perpetration radiates. Our object, therefore, is to assure ourselves that a prodigious evil really does require eradication in Ireland. Surely, if we are not convinced of this grievous " fact" already, a moment's examination of the Parliamentary document to which we have re ferred will fill our minds with that most lamentable con viction. The paper consists of " Extracts made by Colonel M‘GREGOR from the police reports, stating the particulars of the principal homicides in Ireland in the years 1845 and 1846, and forwarded to the Home-office by him:' From these extraordinary extracts upwards of thirty of the most diabolical assassinatioxs, or attempts at assassination, may be selected ; bludgeoning, shooting, strangling, drowning, on the high road, in the daylight, and at midnight. Sometimes the murderers are single, sometimes in bands ; sometimes they have been discovered, some times they have escaped ; but the cause of almost every outrage has been surmised. One unfortunate gentleman is shot dead while returning with his children from church on a Sunday morning; another person is struck down suddenly with a musket-ball while seated with his family at supper ; a venerable lady, nearly blind with extreme age, is seized by a party of ruffians, a pistol is snapped in her face, and she is beaten over the head ; the corpse of another individual is dragged from a ditch ; some are found by hedge-sides with their brains crushed out of their skulls, while others are riddled through and through with bullets. Is it pos sible, after these terrific disclosures, to doubt the exigent state of Ireland, and the absolute duty imposed upon Parliament for some immediate interposition ? Is there not crime enough to arouse the most sluggish Go vernment to exertion ? Does not humanity, does not religion, does not human policy itself, call out for a powerful preventative ? Our next object is to discern, if possible, the reasons by which the marauders have been actuated, as by so doing we shall perceive the incite ments there are to the commission of these whole sale murders, and, by inference, the means by which those incitements may be destroyed, or, at the least, negatived. To these deductions the Parliamentary paper before us affords a ready ac cess ; and after a careful inspection of its particulars we are induced to ascribe the generality of the homi cides to one or other, or occasionally a combination, of the following causes :—Animosity excited by the pro coodiaga .f magistrates, police-officers, or other agents of the executive—revenge against those who have given evidence in courts of law by which peasants have been convicted of any offence—hatred inspired towards those landlords who have ejected one or more individuals from their pro perty, or otherwise dealt harshly with their tenantry— or, finally, from a feeling of jealousy on the part of a tenant who has been ejected from his tenement, and for the idle gratification of which jealousy the subsequent occupant is assaulted. There are, undoubtedly, stray cases to which no satisfactory reason can be ascribed, or in which the assailant has been impelled to the act by a complex or individual interest. But to the mass of the homicides already reported in The Sun, and recorded in this official document, one or other of the four causes just enumerated are applicable. We say this after a most careful consideration of the matter. The murders in Ireland are attributable either to a feel ing of dislike as to the mode in which justice is ad ministered, or to some circumstance in which the interests of landlord and tenant are placed in antagonism. Disease and destitution tend, no doubt, to heighten the malady, and to render its recurrence more frequent. Hence, the removal of sickness and penury mast necessarily ac company any scheme that may be propounded by our Legislators for the removal of this frightful evil. The Government must be rendered more accordant to the popular mind ; the question of landlord and tenant must be thoroughly analysed. We ' could cull many terrific proofs of what we have de clared from the pages of this " report ;" this, however, would be a needless repetition of crimes, with the particulars of which the public are already fami liar. The plan which should be adopted towards Ireland should be animated by a faith in the resources and real integrity of the nation ; a hope for her ultimate regene ration, and a charity towards her people. The Madrid Gazette of the 27th ult. contains a - royal decree, by which the kingdom is divided into electoral dis tricts, agreeably to the provisions of the new Act for the election of representatives. A general belief prevailed that the Cortes would be forthwith dissolved, and that a general election would soon take place. It was said that General RONCALI had been appointed Governor of Cuba, in the room of General ,O'DoNNELL, who was to be Minister of War. According to accounts from the provinces, the manifesto of the new Cabinet was received with much apathy, and tran quillity prevailed. On the 27th the Three per Cents. closed at 32% for cash., and 32 9-16 for the 30th of April. The Five per Cents. were not quoted. We have accounts from Lisbon to the 30th of Mv.rch. On the 20th the Minister of the Interior brought into the: Chamber of Deputies a Bill for appointing tb.e KING CONSORT, in the event of the demise of the QUEEN, Regent during the minority of the heir appe.rent. This 'dill is in contravention of the 90th article of the Charter, and met with strong opposition from a few Members, but was ultimately adopted by a large majority.

PEEL there are to re distinct questions social reform, which is to bear on i the domestic constitution of England, and a manufac tu ring reform, which regards her relations with other P( ) vers. In England the manufacturing popula'ion is far more considerable than the agricultural one, and this dis proportion goes on constantly increasing. The con diti ion of the English working classes is exceedingly sevo re, as they with difficulty suffice for their daily war its. This condition is, besides, exceedingly vari able, pre carious, and subject to considerable oscillations.

The West Indian mail is now about due, and the merchants connected with the trade are most anxious for the letters. As matters, according to the last accounts, were settling down, a large increase of business is calculated upon as a certainty. The measures taken to facilitate the com munication by steam vessels along the coast of the Soitthern Pacific must, in time, be of vast ad vantage in increasing British influence in that direction, and with it of course the augmentation of our trade. The Governments of Chili, Peru, and Mexico, have most cor dially entered into the plans for _the establishment of a regular interchange of mails on the seaboard, and we hear that Mr. Wheelwright, who first set the project on foot for a line of steamers to act in conjunction with the West India snail steamers, has again left this country in order to carry out the great and important plans originated by him to faci litate the rapid conveyance of advices and passengers be tween Great Britain and the whole of the South American Republics. The Bank returns for the present week give the following results : An increase of 4,7701. in the circulation, or to 27,269,245. An increase in the Rest of 9,962/., or to 3,789,971/. An increase in the Public Deposits of 254,203/., or to 7,319,6251. A decrease in other Deposits of 252,275/., or to 17,103,928/. An increase in other Securities to 22,181,3921. A decrease in the Notes in Banking Department of 349,7951., or to 7,683,6901. The Bullion has amounted to 13,987,535/., being an increase of 22,8381. in the week. The value of the Consols has been firm at 96 1 4 %, both for Money and the Account. Scarcely a dozen bargains have been entered into this morning. Exchequer-bills have been sold at 255. and at 28s. premium. This has been a blank day, or nearly so, in the Foreign Stock Market ; Mexicans have fallen from 32 to 31%; the Portuguese Three per Cents. have reached 57 1 2 , the Spanish Three per Cents. have been bought at 36 1 for the Account; and the Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 59%. The Railway Share market, upon the whole, cannot be said to be firm this morning, and business is still very slack for Stock as well as for Scrip.

PRIVY COUNCIL -(THIS DAY _ The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to day, for the purpose of hearing petitions, etc., for the exten sion of patents. The Lords present were the Lord Presi dent, the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy o" Cornwall. IN THE MATTER OF STEAD'S PATENT. This case was heard yesterday, upon the petition et Mr. Stead, for the confirmation of this patent. Their Lordships this morning gave judgment, dismissing the petition, with costs, thereby refusing to confirm the patent. IN THE MATTER OF LOWE'S PATENT. This ease dune before their drlotclshipS; upon the petition of Mr. Lowe, praying the extension of his patent for Ilicteaiing the illuminating power of coal gas. Their Lordships, after hearing Counsel and the evidence of Sir James Clarke, Dr. Reid, and Professor Braude, ordered an extension of the patent for five years. IN THE MATTER OF BELLS PATENT. This case came before their Lordships upon the petition of Mr. Bell for the extension of a p a t e nt for making wax, taper matches, ignited by friction, and the machinery and apparatus used in their manufacture. Their Lordships, after hearing Counsel anal eae had been examining witn e sses, stated their opinion to be that made for the extension of the patent, and ordered the peti tion to be dismissed. BANKRUPTCY.—(TIIIS DAV) (Before Mr. Conimissioner ObtiLi3tatx.) B • To-day WO Ilbft6inted for the choice of assignees of the estate this bankrupt, who had petitioned for a fiat in oankruptey by the description of a scrivener and banker. ine bankrupt was also an attorney residing in the vicinity of Leeds, . . An application wat triads on behalf of a creditor residing at Leedsithat tll , e tholte shouldad j iourneq wit!!

The bankrupt had lived in tlfe eblintiy tip thiiihtti of March Obit vp td fot4i*ltli pledhis petition for NI The country creditors considering that their interests would be greatly injured by the fiat being worked in London, presented a petition to the Court of Review for an order to stay proceedings under the present fiat, and that ar iother fiat should be issued, di rected to the Commissioners I of the Leeds District Court. The Court, however, was ch mibtful whether it could inter fere with the right of the gene ral body of creditors to proceed to the choice of assignees on t he present fiat, but it would, at the same time, grant , an ord .er for a country fiat, and, on n ,, tice being oven to the other side, they would proceed at their peril, 'r • 111+ p;,,rtA, f the stood over, The Learned COLIIISSIONER ; paid it was a very strong case, yet he did not, bell that he 91,1 IN adjourn the choice in Order to transfer the case to the Distriet Court. He inquired what j was the nature of the property, and whether it was of a nature requiring the attention of a trade assignee ? The Attorney said it principally consisted of bills of costs not made out, and securities for money lent by him. There was very little tangible property, except some houses in London. The Learned Comtism/lEn said it was for the interest of all parties that the proceedings should be carried out with as little expense as possible, and that therefore it would be better to 3et the choice take place rather than have the delay and expense of another application to the Court of Review. There was a special provision that the examina tions might be taken by the Commissioners in the country. The bankrupt's attorney said that they could not appear to oppose the petition. The suggestion of the Learned Commissioner was adopted, and the choice took place. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Commissioner POLLOCK.) IN UK S. S. COBHAM. The insolvent in this case was opposed by a Miss Sucb, who had been plaintiff in an action for breach of promise of marriage, in which the damages of 100/. were awarded her, and for the recovery of which she now opposed Cobham's re lease. Very minute evidence was gone into, during which it was alleged that the insolvent was the father of a child which the opposing creditor had given birth to • but the plea put in by the insolvent in the action was, that he was not the father, and that the plaintiff's character being stained, he could not keep his engagement with her. The Learned COMMISSIONER was firmly convinced the child was the insolvent's, and the plea recorded with respect to Miss Such's character was most wicked and malicious. He considered this a case in which a long remand was called for, and he felt himself bound to delay the insolvent's discharge for twelve calendar mouths from the vesting order.—Remanded accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT.---(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Commissioner BusLocx.) Ficrmous Arrow( Evs.—John Oakham, aged 48, stood in dicted with obtaining money under false pretences, with in tent to defraud James Smart. The prisoner pleaded guilty, He was charged with being one of a number of persons who infest the vicinity of the Court, with a view to extort money from the friends of unfortunate prisoners, under the pretence that they could get up a defence, and would employ counsel. Such had been the conduct of the prisoner on the present oc casion to the prosecutor. The Court animadverted in strong terms upon the conduct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to twelve month's im prisonment with hard labour, and intimated that the offence was punishable with transportation. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) CHARGE OF MURDER.—Jesse Bridger, aged 88, stood in dicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Jane Bridger, by giving her a kick. It appeared from the evidence, that deceased was seen in a state of intoxication, in the Borough-road, on the 20th of February; the prisoner was seen to run after. her, strike her on the face, and kick her in the abdomen, and swear he would knock her eyes out. She fell, and was subsequently carried home, and from thence to the hospital, where she died on the fifth day after the occurrence. On the cross-examination it appeared that deceased bit one of the men who was carrying her home, which compelled him to let her fall, and she came to the ground with considerable violence. On the cross-examination of one or two witnesses, it ap peared that the deceased was a most inveterate drunkard ; that she was in the habit of going to public houses and getting drunk in the absence of her husband, and had been found reeling about the streets drunk ; and was brought home to her husband in that state, with her head cut, &c., upon several occasions. The Surgeon who made the post mortem examination, de posed, that deceased died from a rupture of the bladder, which was caused by some external violence, and which might have been the result of a fall against any projecting substance ; and that the prisoner called frequently at the hospital to see deceased, and appeared very anxious about her. The prisoner bore an excellent character, and was said to be a man of sober and industrious habits, and never ab sconded, or went out of the way, during his wife's illness. The jury acquitted the prisoner of the charge of murder, and found him Guilty of Manslaughter ; but recommended him to mercy upon the ground of the great provocation he had received. The COURT said that in consequence of the recommenda tion, the sentence would not be a severe one ; it was, that he should be imprisoned for twelve months in the House of Correction. Richard Thorpe, coal porter, stood indicted for cutting Jane Thorpe, with intent to do her some bodily harm, on the 17th March. This was a case somewhat similar to the last in some of the particulars. It appeared from the evidence of his wife that she asked him for a penny to get bread for the child, which he refused her, and knocked her down ; she remained in the streets all that night; the next morning he met her again and knocked her down. He subsequently induced her to go into a public-house, gave her some beer, put his left arm round her neck, and with his right drew a knife across her throat; she then gave him in charge to a policeman. Several witnesses deposed that the prosecutrix was a woman of drunken and other depraved habits. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to six months imprisonment. work, the success of which all humane minds must de sire to behold accomplished. (Here he was loudly cheered by M. DE GA SPARIN.) I am certain that this cheer only expresses the sentiment of the whole Chamber, for every one must be anxious to see measures succeed, the object of which is to improve the condition of the work ing classes.—(" Yes," exclaimed a Member, "if not at our expense.") There is nothing in the project of Sir R. PEEL that is to be accomplished at our expense. He has three objects—to lower the price of provisions, :o assure constant labour, and to set a curb on commer- cial fluctuations. The plan imposes some sacrifices certainly on agriculture, but they are such as it can sup port. I am convinced, also, that Sir P. REEL desires to carry out his measures, without altering the principles of the constitution of his country. He is well aware ,hat the landed aristocracy, which has hitherto made the grandeur of England, cannot be sacrificed to the manu facturing interests ; he has merely endeavoured to re store the equilibrium between these two influences, and everything leads to the expectation that he com pletely succeed.—(Hear, hear.) The second part of his plan aims at increasing the trade of England with foreign powers. Such an extension will add to the influence of his country, will contribute much to preserve peace, and will be advantageous to the consumer. Sir R. PEEL, in effecting this second part of his reform, by no means abolishes all protective duties ; he merely applies his new plan to such branches of manufactures as can support competition with the produce of other nations. He has retained protection on all articles which re- quire it. The first part of his plan is not applicable amongst us—it is a noble spectacle, but it does not affect us, for in what does our situation resemble that of Eng land ? Our manufacturing population is not perhaps as well off as it might be, but it is not in the position of the same class in England ; our working population, be sides, is principally agricultural, and this class, which is more fortunate in its condition than our manufacturing workmen, is also far better off than the English agri- cultural population. We may, therefore, admire the so cial reform in England, but it holds out nothing for us to imitate. As to the second part—the commercial portion of the reform, we can only imitate it partially and gra dually. We must continue to protect such branches of our manufactures as require support, and which a sudden reduction in our duties would not fail to annilii. late. I have signed eight treaties, and all are conceived in this spirit. We shall persist in this course prudently and cautiously, and you may be certain that we shall reap the fruits of our proceedings. These doctrines seemed to meet with the general approbation of the Chamber, and we may therefore conclude that the Legislature, unless driven to a more liberal policy by the sufferings and losses of the vine growers, and by the continued decay of the shipping interest, will for some years adhere to the protective system. It is gratifying, however, to see several of the journals displaying more knowledge of commercial policy. The Journal des Debats is liberal in that respect, and disapproves of the latter remarks of the Minister, which refer to reform in the Custom house system. "M. GUIZOT," it says, "is of opinion that within the last ten or fifteen years we have pro- ceeded sufficiently fast in the road of commercial liberty. We have several times expressed a different opinion. M. GUIZOT'S conclusion is, that we ought to continue to proceed in the same course ; we prefer, we state sincerely, a more decided system." The Moniteur contains a dispatch from Marshal Bcr- GEAtun, dated Algiers, March 25, but it contains no in telligence of interest. We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the papers :- " The review at Vincennes took place on Wednesday. The King, accompanied by a numerous staff of Generals and other officers, including those of his military household, ar rived at Vincennes at half-past twelve o'clock, and was re ceived by General Lyautey, the Commandant of the School of Artillery, Colonel Perignon, and the Duke de Montpen sier. His Majesty found the 4th regiment of artillery, of which the Duke de Montpensier is Lieutenant-Colonel, and which is about to leave Vincennes immediately for Lyons, the 4th battalion of the Chasseurs of Orleans garrisoned at Vincennes, and detachments of the other regiments of infan try composing the school, ranged under arms and in due order. Having rode along the ranks, the King took his sta tion in front of the Castle, while the troops filed off before him. After being three hours on horseback, repeatedly cheered by the most warm and animated acclamations, he re-entered his carriage, and returned to the Tuileries, where he arrived at half-past five o'clock. " The Prince de Joinville arrived at Lorient en the even ing of the 28th ult. On the next day he visited the arsenal, and was to leave in the evening for Brest. " Lord Brougham arrived on Wednesday at the Hotel Menrice. "By a letter from St. Etienne of Monday afternoon we learn that order had been restored, and the miners had retired to their homes. It appears that the disturbance was occasioned, in the first instance, by a dispute between the directors of the mina Gagne-Petit and the foreman or governor, as he is called, named Ogier ; but on Saturday this man had apologised, and it was supposed that the dispute was at an end, when his nephew busied himself with exciting the miners to revolt. The men them came to an understanding with the workmen of the Montet mine, and they all refused on Monday morning to go to their work. Eight of them were therefore arrested by the gendarmerie, and were being conducted to prison, b a y tte t Zt r s tow' Wives and them. come of wh e n the t h p e o i p r u lcaocme, pmanaidones, seriousnil Some troops of the line, under the command of General Charron, were called to the assistance of the gendarmes ; and, being compelled by the fury of their assailants to fire, the calamitous result mentioned by the Messager took place. tea The Courrier de Lyon of Tuesday states that the mayor, M. de Furens, had his clothes pierced by several bullets, and that General Charron was struck several times by stones thrown by the workmen and their partisans. We learn from Warsaw, that on the 24th ult. a proclama tion was published announcing that the Government had ordered to be confiscated, for the benefit of the State, all the estates and other property in the province of Lubli n belong ing, or hereafter to belong, to Pantaleon Potocke, to Prous chewski, and Zarski, leaders of the late revolt in the town of Siedlce.

The sixth soirée of the season was held last evening at the rooms of the British and Foreign Institute, and was as fully attended, by a large number of ladies and gentlemen, as on any previous occasion. The musical performances of the evening were of the usual varied and agreeable character, and were well sustained throughout. Among the novelties on the table was an interesting and valuable invention of Mr. Loseby, for correcting, by an instrument in which mer cury was used as the chief agent, the inequalities in the rates of chronometers, occasioned by those variations of tempera ture in different climates, by which the most accurate chro nometers are greatly affected. The opinion of the Astro nomer Royal in favour of this invention, has been conveyed In the highest terms of praise to the Board of Longitude, and was read at the meeting. Some beautiful specimens of a new process for producing the effect of electro-gilding without the use of gold were exhibited by Messrs. Sedge ick and Taylor, of Piecadillv, which were greatly admired. By this method the surface of brass can be wrought up to a degree of finish so exactly resembling gold, that the most experienced eve could not detect the difference—and in one of the candelabra shown, the lower half was plated with real gold in the usual mode, and the upper half finished without a particle of gold or gilding, yet no one could determine where the one process ended or the other began. In addition to the richness of the effect, this invention has the further advantage of much greater freedom from tarnish than ordinary gilding, and can be produced at a saving of 700 per cent. Among the foreign visitors present was a Chinese gentleman, Woo-tan-jin, from the heart of the Celestial Empire, who had travelled with Mr. Mil ne , the learned and accomplished missionary, himself a native of China, though of British parents, through the greatest portion of the " flowery land," and had since accompanied him on a tour through England and Scotland. He is about to return to his native country in a few weeks, with Mr. Milne, and from the impressions he seems to have received during his stay m England, he will tie doubt convey to his countrymen very favourable ideas of the people, as well as of the arts andbmeean nufactures of the " outer barbarians," hitherto called in China. There was also present the feather American Indian, Kah-ke-wa-guaft - o - hy , in o g near Toronto, that flies," chief of a Canadian tribe,nliv pwesenhtaraeNorth the the personal Chinese visitor. It was aft interesting sighte in Canada, and speaking as gpod b strangers from the introduction to to each other of t e e a s ch In his native costume, E to g w l i is tn h es a s s site extremities of the globe; s_thoughts and feelings in 'what to both most have Beene ult as well as a foreign ton rue f the • g * evening, an oral and Ant o e n a g c each the communicating terdty prseedings o g i v en of the recent work of Mirza Mohun Lal, who is one of the frequent visitors of the Institute; and some ac count w as also offered of the t r h es e rie d v ashwmaesrian traveller, progress made by the Bulgarian Prince, Atuander Stoilo vitch, in his mission of education to England. The evening was altogether one of much interest and variety, and ap peared to give great satisfaction to the numerous and bril t liant assemblage present. THE FOREIGN MAILS.—POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

A • special committee of seven of its members will draw up the scheme of the new constitution, the Council in the mean while suspending its sittings. WESTERN PRUSSIA, MARCH 17.—Several of the ROM= Catholics in this quarter having, either of their individual motion, or as active participators in the late conspiracy, been guilty of offending against the laws, although their flocks resisted their attempts to seduce them, the Bishops of their dioceses have Intimated their indignation at this their unjustifiable conduct, and have earnestlg admonished the clergy of their diocese to observe inviolably their duties as faithful subjects, and to call upon their flocks to adhere with fiaelity to their allegiance. Ekes Pope has also addressed the Bishop Kulon, expressing his grief at the disloyalty of the priests in question, and direct-• ing the Bishop to admonish his clergy severely to abstain from prostituting their office to so disgraceful a purpose. BADEN, MARCH 'AL—The Grand Duke has directed that a sum of 3' 1 ,000 greddens, or about. 1,4001., should be laid ou t in the purchase of seed potatoes, either within the Gran d Duchy or in foreign parts, in order that they may be sold a t a moderate pike to the growers in that district where there is a .'eartli of them. The Agricultural Association has been charged with carrying this order into effect. ST. PRTERSBURGH, MARCH 17.—1 t appears from a report of the Field Marshal the Prince of Warsaw, that the only Russian troops remaining in quarters at Cracow, are two battalions of light infantry, and 150 Cossacks of the line. A long return is made of the time consumed by the several de tachments (ordered to Cracow, on news being received of the outbreak of the late insurrection) in moving from their respective states to the scene of the revolt, The artillery accomplished 146 miles in seven days, the distance from Warsaw to Cracow, 190 miles, in six days. LE3IIIURG, MARCH 13.—At seven o'clock this morning Weseznivoki and E. Dembosski, the leaders of the late insurrection, were brought into this towns in chains. The former is said to have headed the attack on the troops at Narioff on the nig tit of the 21st of February, when two cadets were killflad and two wounded. The Government had sat api ice of: a thousand florins on each of these leaders heads. The r award in the case of Weseznivoki falls to the lot of ter 'o country men, who discovered him lying upon a. haystack, and delivered him on suspicion to the dis trict au thorities. He was disguised in a priest's . garment, had cut off his whiskers and mustac b 'los, and shaved his head behind. He said his name was 1; epzc asski, and that he had fled out of Poland for the purpose of 'escaping persecution on account of his religion. It is expectet 1 that the capture of these chiefs will lead to important rave tat ions with regard to whole conspiracy. AUGSBURGH, MARCH 24.—The parties who light the city of Stuttgart with gas have contracted to ;light this city also. It will be the first town. BADEN, Mulct' 21.—As the Roman Catholic r rd. rty, who form a majority of the population, decline to su tp'port the ministerial candidates at the present elections, ai fel equal!), decline to coalece with the Radical party, it is aim t certain that the Ministry will be baffled in the object which , they had in view, when they advised the Grand Duke to. dissolve the Chambers, and consequently a triumph - for the Liberal and Radical party begins to be antici pated. In this case the Ministerial opposition ks likely to be as all powerful in the new Legislature as in tl to t which has been lately dissolved. PERTH, MARCH 18.—The Polish insurrection havit ig been so completely put dom., not only has the march of troops from this country ceased, but those dispatched into A Galicia are returning to their quarters. We can :confidently - state that neither Prince Sapecha nor any Of his I amily were in the remotest degree connected with the suppressed revolutionary movement. The short-lived D ictator It; de• scribed to have been destitute of energy as well' as clipacity. He took the degree of Doctor of Laws at Limber, q, tr nd after wards was manager of an estate ; chance onl) • brew the ephemeral dictatorship into his hands. He har, u igued the populace once during his short sway, but a ,as very active in wielding his pen and writing for tt le public journals. The populace took'no notice of him wh est he rode abroad. His right hand man was Dewbasski, his ,secretary, an individual of considerable oratorical talents. INDIAN CORN. DISTRESS OF THE PEOPLE. The Poor Relief Committee having purchased s 1 certain quantity of Indian corn, and having appointed con ah 1 depots for its sale, it was announced that the sale would nmence on Saturday last. Many people supposed that it would not be bougl at up, and all were interested in the result of the experim The price fixed on it was one penny per pound. The::result of the day's sale is sufficient to dissipate all further d tocibt, a nd to demand the most serious attention of the citizen s o f Cork. No sooner were the doors opened than the rush to pt•ot :ure the corn meal was tremendous. We understand that th'e utmost excitement, almost frantic, prevailed during the day , ; and it was only by the ceaseless efforts of a number of poi ice that order or regularity could be preserved. The avidie the people to procure a novel description of food is the ra ost con clusive evidence of the misery to which bad food arc 1 famine prices have reduced them. The Irisb, of ea' people in the world, are the least addicted to change, vspeciall y in an article of diet; and when such a spectacle as that a f Satur day last is presented, be sure that there is d ire n.ee:essity as the inducing cause of the ready and anxious c 'ban, ge. We understand that 4,480 lbs. of the corn n 'teal were s old on Saturday at ld. per lb. The Committee waited this morning on Mr. at% ritson, t° grant .them a further supply, they of course off. I l i leg to 11 the full price for it ; but Mr. Hewitson was c e n spelled t refuse the request, he having no orders from t h is Goverxr went to that effect. The people, supposing that the supply would e continued' a ssembled in hundreds round the depths ; but w we inforniv , of the fact of there being no more fur sale. t lansiderabl e excitement was occasioned by the announceme at, and th e Mayor, fearing that disturbance might arise in c wnsequenc e l published a public notice stating that when the o -der, which was daily expected, would arrive, further supplit • • would b e distributed.—Cork Examiner.
