The next allegation of any importance against the Bill, was that the plans and sections deposited with the clerks of the peace _differed 'from those lodged at the Private Bill office. After some discussion on both sides, it was agreed upon by the parties to go through the allegations between themselves, so as to save the time of the Committee. This arrangement was concurred in by the Chairman, and the further consideration of the case was adjourned to Mon day next. THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS AND zarzmnalamanic JUNCTION Ur.

GLASGOW, PAISLEY, ILIMMAILNOCIC, AND AYIt, AND BILANCIIES. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) At the suggestion of the Chairman, the respective agents retired for a short time to effect, if possible, some arrange ment, and alter an absence of a bout a quartey of an hour, returned without having been able to enter into any set tlement. The first petition was from Mr. Andrew Bro of Hill House in the county of Ayr, complaining goner. - compliance with the standing orders in various p . Mr. Prurr said that before proceeding with that pe he would call the attention of the Committee to the fact that various interlineations had been made in the petition. Mr. LAING said that the terms of the agreement autho rised them to make any alterations in the petition they , required. He had to call the attention of the Corn mi:tee to a tact material to the present case. The second allegation was, that certain portions of the plans de posited by this Company were not their plans, but those of another Company of the same name, No. 6, but which proposed to construct quite a different railway. He had applied at the Private Bill-office for the Bill he alluded to, but was informed by Mr. Strutt that it would be produced by an order from the Chairman of the Committee before whom any of the Bills of the same designation might be considered. The CHAIRMAN having sent for the Bill in question, Mr. Pmorr procceeded with the allegations in their correct order. The first allegation was, that no plans or sections of the proposed railway, which was to pass through the Abbey parish of Paisley and Laigh Kirk parish of Paisley, had been deposited with the sheriff's clerk of the county of Renfrew on or before the 30th day of November, which were applicable to the said parishes. # Evidence pro and con being heard, the Committee found that in this case the allegation was not sustained. The second allegation was to the effect that in the proposed branch of railway through the parishes mentioned in the pre ceding allegation, a similar error had been committed, inas- much as the plans and sections as regarded these parishes were the plans, or a portion of them, deposited in the Private Bill-offize by the promoters of the Paisley, Barrhead, and Ilurlet Railway. The CHAIRMAN considered that if it were even as alleged, it the plans were correct it would be no matter. Mr. LAING said he would under these circumstances pro ceed on the merits. The first class of. allegations was that there was great in accuracy in the plans and sections deposited with the sheriff's clerks of the respective counties through which the line was to pass. The first allegation was with reference to the county of Renfrew, winch was sustAincd, and with respect to the other counties it was admitted that the inaccuracy alleged was correct, and the-Committee found accordingly, that in these ca, es the standing orders had not been complied with. It was next allegtd.that on the 13th mile of the terminus at Paisley there War; no ligining, which was sustained. otheraregations of a ;.iinilar nature were abandonel. It was next alleged that front Nos. 85 to 107 the paiper ties Ivera not delineated in the plans deposited with the sheriffs' clerks. The C.lmnittee fuuticl that the sections in question had not been numbered. Some similar allegations were admitted v and sonic' were abamionett. It was next alleged that there was a difference littween the plans and sections depo , ited with the sheriti"s clerk 3 and tl►use in the Private ::iii-Alice. _ Tne - first of this cia-,;s of ailegationß was that there was an error in the datum. Hue, which tLe Committee found to . be sustahlet. The Committee. then adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to-morrow. STANDLN G ORDERS COMMITTEES'. (Continued frs.im our Afternoon Edition.) lIOUSE OF LOUDS.. CORK, BANDON, AND KINSALE JUNCTION. In this case the Committee reported that the standing orders had been complied with. One objection was merely of an engineering character, and the other was that the plans deposited were not duplicates; neither was the datum line taken from a public point: CORK AND PASSAGE (IRELAND). In this _case the Committee reported that the standing orders had not been complied with, several importeat no ticcs not having been served. IRISII NORTH. MIDLAND.

The Duke of RICHMOND rose to present a petition from Sir John Milley Doyle, praying their Lordships to refer the consideration of his case to the law officers of the'Crown. He stated that he had served under the Spanish Government as one of the general officers of the Legion, who he complained had not done justice to him, but particulary that the Commission which had been ap pointed had not treated his claim in a proper manner. He further stated that the representatives of this country in Spain acknowledged his claim. There was a clause in the Act under which the Commission was appointed, that if any difference arose with respect to the claims of the officers who had been in the service of Spain that it should be referred to the law officers of the Cyown. He was an experienced ' officer, and had served this country in Egypt and in the wars of the Peninsular. His Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) was of opinion that his case should be so referred. He (the Duke of Rich mond), therefore, trusted that their Lordships would resort to that course in this case. He was ad vised by his friends to take as much as he could get, and to memorialise the Government for the rest. He (the Duke of Richmond) did not think he was asking too much if he only asked that this matter should be referred to the law officers of the' Crown, and that they should decide whether he was entitled to this claim on the Spanish Government or not. _ _ Lord BROUGHAM supported the prayer of the petition. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he was not disposed to deny the valuable services of the officers who were erga,ged in the army in Por tugal, but at the same time he imagined j that claims were made on the Portuguese Government which were not at all in proportion to the services ren dered. Various commissions had been appointed, but they had failed to give satisfadtion. The parties could not agree as to the amount, and the conse quence was that the officers and men interested were continually applying to the English Government to see justice done. Their Lordships would recollect that the British Government were no parties to the contracts made, but at the same time they were bound to endeavour to obtain justice for any or every party having claim on the Portuguese Government. These claims were entirely of a private nature, and this Government was no party in the contracts. ' In the year 1840 his predecessor in office, Lord Palmerston, agreed to form a mixed! commission, which should take cognisance of these claims, and decide upon them in such a manner as that there should be no appeal to the Government of either country, and if the Commissioners differed in their opinions it was to be decided by an arbitrator, the Minister of the King of the Belgians, who has in that capacity given several decisions. fie felt therefore precluded from opening the question. He believed the Commissioners had tblen a full and a fair view of all the cases laid before them, and had given their decision accordingly. He felt, that he had no power to interfere in regard to these claims. He had ermined into the claims of Sir John Milly Doyle, and he considered that the Coraimis sionors had come to a right decision respecting it. Even had he (the Earl of Aberdeen) the power, he did not feel at all disposed to re-open the question. That oWcer had vOluntt cred his servica to the Portuguese G overnment in 1832, and it was accepted by Don Pedro With n great laudation of his noble cond-ct ! Sir J. M. Doyle atter- wards admitted that he ervered the service ►►ithout a cnntract, therefore he could make no . elaim on the Porn'. gueie G overnmen t for services performed under a con tract. It appeartid, from the returns he now held in his hand, that Sir J. M. Do), le had received sums of 2,000/. and 50/. from the Portugeese Government, and passed a recript in full of them. . Then the report of the t'artugar•se Comwis.ion was to the effect that they did cot consider that Sir John Doyle had any claim upon the British Go:Erna - lent, not having entemd the Portu- guese service ueder any contract, and, therefore. he (Lord Aberdeen) did not cemsid,rthat the claim could be emer tained. Under these circumstances he was of opinion that no adaantlge would be gained by re-opening the mse. Besides he Lad no reason tai complain of the Portuguese Government. as he had been treated ex tremely well by them. his Noble Friend (the Duke of Wellingtoe) would perhaps recollect that some years ago he received 5,0001. or 6,000/. from that . Goverment for an injury he stsit:d he had received. Lord BROUGHAM tomiplairad that a surgeon had been appointed one of the commissional s, whereas some sat upou it. On the same principle he supposed that the Noble Earl (Earl of Aberdeen) would refer a medical point to a lawyer. The Noble Lord then referred to documents which set forth of the law officers of the Crown ought to have that the Portuguese Government admitted the claim, and considered that it ought to be paid out of the money devoted to the British Go vernment for the liqui4a.‘ion of similar claims. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it occurred to his recollection that such a transaction as the one re ferred to by the Noble Earl, took pLce whilst he was serving his King in Portugal, but he did not recollect enough of the circumstances under which. it took piece to be able to speak with any certainty on. the subject. He, however, recolle,cted the name of Sir John Millie Doyle, but he eoulp not call to mind • whyhe was employed ;—at any rate Ile was in the service of this country during the Peninsular war, and that he had the reputation of being a brave man. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that Sir John Doyle had no claim against the Portuguese Government, having given a receipt in full for all de mands. He (Lord Londonderry) knew that that gallant oliicer had been paid very handsomely for his serviee.s, more handsomely than either he or the Noble Duke opposite. The Duke of RICHMOND said that Sir J. Doyle had given a receipt in lull, because the Commissioners to.d him that while he did so he would not receive a farthirg. The question was th 9 petitioner entitled by his agree• ment and order to receive the amount he claimed. He believed that he had not received a sufficient remuneration for his services, and it was therefore inflict ing great hardship on the Hon. Baronet. Ile hoped that he would have with every other British subject, the protection of the law. . . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti tion, which he hoped would receive the support of the Noble Duke who had just sat down. It was a petition signed by Lord Arthur Hill and other noblemen and gentlemen of the county of Down, in the north of Ireland, praying this House to suspend the standing orders in the ease :of the Great County Down Railway. They mid suspended the standing orders the other even ing in a case similar to the present, and hoped they would do so now, as the measure would be a great boon to the whole of Ireland, and give employment to a con siderable number of people. Lord. REDESDALE objected to granting the .prayer of the petition. He said that the . Committee found the plans, which were lithographed, as many otherfiplaus were, very incorrect. The lithographing were altered in the levels, the height, and the arching, so that it was hardly possible to make out what they meant. The excuse . made. for this incorrectness was the want of time, but the natural answer to this if the projectors had not time to get up efficient plans by. the 30th of November, why not wait for an.' other . .yeer. There was no hardship in this. On every occasion when a decision was given against a Bill interested parties came forward in order to get the decision reverstd in their favour.. ' There was no use in hearing standing orders at .all ..if this practice was to be carried out. He had resisted the C m a o r t l i o o w n , the .

The errors were e:ntircly owing to the neglect of the solicitors: After a, few Lord MONTEAGLE w words frog , a The Marquis of LONIIVNDERRY withdrew his motion. In the case of the Wexford,.

He would propose that the sscond reading should be post poned till Monday next. Mr. DUNCOMBE would second the motion of his Hon. and Gallant Friend. He thought the best way to put an end to the discussion would be to postpone the second reading of the Bill. The House would, in that case, have sufficient time to decide whether or not the Bill should be proceeded with.

Mr. ETWALL then moved, pursuant to notice, for the ap pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the adminis • tration of the poor-laws in the Andover Union, and into the management of the Union Workhouse. The Hon. Member went at considerable lenigth into the details of the occur rences that took place in die Andover Union, which he con sidered as highly disgraceful, and called loudly for inquiry. A CONTRAST. THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE, BY THE BARON CHARLES DIIPIN. In 1816 the British Government, in perfect peace, victo rious, and tranquil, spent 86,000,000/. sterling, no part of -which was applied to the extinction of the national debt. In 1814 its expenditure still exceeded 67,000,0001. In 1844, the latest period to which the accounts have been completed, its expenditure was reduced to 55,000,0001. In 1816 the interest of the national debt amounted to 33,500,0001.; it is now reduced to 26,000,0001. and 4,000,0001. of temporary annuities, which are gradually disappearing year by year. Whilst Great• Britain was obtaining these splendid results she was effecting a vast reform in the manner and extent of her public burdens. Between 1815 and 1841, a balance being struck between taxes increased and taxes diminished, this power has abo lished an amount of 24,000,0001. of taxation, arid last year has suppressed a further sum of 6,000,000/. The taxes abolished are those especially which paralyse industry, and oppose obstacles to the superiority of British commerce over that of other nations. In effecting this, do not imagine that England has ab stained from carrying out gigantic enterprises, sustain ing mighty struggles, and defending her wide spread domi nions with an armed hand. She possessed in India, in the year 1816, 80,000,000 of subjects ; she now numbers 1(0,000,000. Canada revolted ; the revolt was suppressed by force. Her will was contested in the Syrian question ; her ships decided the matter. China resisted the odious commerce in opium • an expedition after the fashion of Cortes subdued the Celestial Empire. Two seas existed, the entrance of which was not under the command of England, the Chinese Ocear. and the Red Sea. Aden and Singapore have completed the chain of forts which bind the commerce of the world. I admire this at the risk of being accused of Angloinania, the more. that these results have been accom panied by a wise reduction of expenditure and taxation, dating from the peace to the present moment. In 1816 England was, without exception, the state most heavily burdened by the weight of taxation. She is now, in proportion to her wealth, less taxed than France. Thirty years ago England spent 80,000,0001. sterling, while we spent but the half. In 1844 England spent 55,000,0001., whilst we have ex pended 57,500,000/. Let us observe, at the same time, from one single fact, the enormous difference in the resources of the two countries for the supply of such heavy public burdens Looking still at 1844, as a means for comparison; I find that the commerce of England, favoured by a skillful system of taxation, is so great, that the mere amount of the produce of the soil and industry of Great Britain sold to foreign nations, in eleven months, is equal to the total annual expenditure of the Treasury. On the other hand, in France, we only behold an unlimited increase in the taxation, and we have reached a point at which it would require the amount of 23 months of the sale of. our produce to tbreignermo pay our expenditure, whilst eleven months only suffice to the English. THE ARMY. INCREASE OF THE ARMY. CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM. HORSE GUARDS, FEB. 20. The following augmentation t) certain corps, of ca valry and infantry having been sanctioned by her Ma jesty's Government, officers in command of the regi ments and depots concerned are requested to use their utmost exertions in raising men to complete their corps respectively to the proposed strength. The men so raised are to be borne as supernumeraries until the Ist April next, from which date the increased establis!)- meras will be authorised by the War Office. 1. Four men per troop to be added to the following 17 regiments of cavalry, viz. : —lst, 2(1, 3d, 4th, 511, and 6th Dragoon Guards ; Ist, 2d, and 6th Dragoons ; and the 4th, 7th, Bth, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 17th Light Dragoons. 2. An augmentation of 400 rank and file to eight regiments of infantry at home, to be hereafter specially named. 3. An increase of 200 rank and file to the following .27 regiments of infantry, the service companies aLwhich are now serving abroad—viz , Ist battalion Royals, 7th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 33'1, :34th, 35th, 38th. 46th, 48th, 52d, 54th, 60th (2d battalion), 66th, 72d, 73d, 77th, 79th, 81st, 82d, 88th, 89th, 93d, and 95th Regiment, and Ist battalion Rifle Brigade. In order to provide for the immediate recruiting of those regiments and depots of infantry, an additional sergeant and corporal may forthwith be appointed to each et , rnpany at home, without the necessity of any previous reference to the officer commanding the regi miont abroad ; but the appointment of the remaining six non-commissioned officers of each class to be allowed on the new establishment must be reserved for the ser vice companies, where they will be appointed on the re ceipt of the order, and from whence they will be sent home by the earliest opportunity, together with any others IA ho may be at the same time supernumerary to the regular establishment of these companies. • There will thus be 26 nun-commissioned officers of each class with the depot, and only 24 with the service _companies; exclusive of Miff serjeants, but has not only the recruiting of the whole corps, hut thN staff of the depot is to be provided for, the distribution now pre scribed has been deemed expedient.' In the regiments thus augmented to 1000 rank and file, the drummers will be equally divided between the service companies and depot. With regard to the regiments about to be augmented to 1,200 rank and file, they will for the present remain, as heretofore, consolidated in 10 companies, but it is in tended that they shall hereafter be divided into two battalions, of six companies each, in the same manner as those already organised on that footing. After this separation, and during the period both bat talions may remain at home, the non-commissioned offi cers will be equally divided between them, but when ordered to proceed abroad, the Ist battalion will embark 24 and the reserve 28 non-commissioned offie-rs, leaving eight of each class at the regimental depot ; there to be maintained by the battalions to which they respectively belong, exclusive of these who from time to time may be sent home fur immediate discharge. In order to provide for musicians, &c., the Ist batta lions of those corps, as well as the service companies of regiments, %sill henceforth he permitted to embark 560 rank :and file, but they will carry with them only 540 stand of arms and sets of accoutrements ; and reserve battalions not being allowed bands will, as heretofore, consist of 540 rank and file. In regiments on an establishment of 1,200 rank and file there will be 10 drummers with the Ist battalion, 12 with the reserve, and at the depot. The services of an ensign at the depot of these regi ments will no longer be required; each of the battalions will provide a lieutenant for that duty, and the captain will be furnished by the battalions alternately. These instructions will be understood to apply as well to regiments already formed as to those now proposed to be augmented, and they will be expected to conform to them accordingly. By command of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wel lington, Commander•in-Chief. JOHN MACDONALD, A.G. INSTITUTION OF CI VIL ENGINEERS. (Sir John Rennie, President, in the Chair.) The first paper read (on the 24th ult.) was a " De ceription of the Dinting Vale Viaduct, on the line of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway," by A. S. Gee, Member I. C. E. This viaduct consists of sixteen arches, five of which are of timber, and seven of of bricks. The whole of the large piers, wings, outside spandrils, and parapets are built of stone, from the quarries in the neighbournood. The five large arches, which are each of-125 feet span, and twenty-five feet versed sine, are built of Memel tim ber; the main ribs of these arches are composed of planking three inches thick, bent and laid longitudi nally, and fastened together with oak trenails, and firmly stayed by means of wrought iron tie-rods. The smaller semicircular arches, situated at each end of the viaduct, are built of brick, with stone quoins. They are of fifty feet in the span and three feet in thick ness, and arc built in a curve of forty chains radius, the piers being wedge-shaped to suit the curve, leaving the faces parallel with each other. • The entire cost of the viaduct (which was given in its various details in the paper) was stated to be 35,2501. Gs. 5d., its total length 484 yards, and its greatest height about 125 feet above the water course. It was com menced early in 1843, and was opened on the Bth of August, 1844. The average. cost of construction was calculated at about 21. -14 s. per superficial yard, and Cs. 9d. per cubic yard, the viaduct being eighty yards wide. The paper by Mr. G. W. Hemens, M. Inst., C.E., de scribed the system invented by Sir J. Macneill, and em ployed on the Dublin and Drogheda Railway for pre paring the transverse sleepers, and fastening the rails upon them. The sleepers are half baulks, 12 inches by G inches at: .the junction of the rails, and intermediately half trees of larch, with the bark on, not less than 8 inches by 4 inches, are placed, with the round side upwards, at an average distance of 2 feet G inches apart. These sleepers are prepared for . bearing the rails, by fixing twelve at a time on a sliding table, similar to that of a planing machine ; they are moved forward by' steam power beneath two circular cutters, set' at the given distance of the gauge apart, and re volving very rapidly, and which pass through the whole.' series of sleepers, cutting, at a given inclination, the seats for the rails. A slight stoppage of the table takes place as each sleeper is cut, in order to afford -fed; four drills to descend simultaneously, and to pierce the holes for the pins or trenails for holding down the rails. An engine of six-horse power suffices for working two of these machines, by which one thousand sleepers can be finished complete in twenty-four hours, at an expense of about ld. each, instead of 21-d each, which they formerly cost by manual labour. The sleepers thus pre pared . are used traversely be- Leath rails of the bridge, from. which the sides are slightly pinched inwards, in finishing, so as to form a dovetail with a joint plate with a raised rib, which is laid at each junction, and which, by using a screw pin and plate at one end, and a collar-headed pin at the other, holds the rail very fast, preventing lateral and vertical motion, but permitting longitudinal action in expansion and contraction. These rails weigh 831 b. per yard. The total cost per mile of the double line,. including rails, sleepers, piers, spikes, joint chains, &c., laid complete, is stated at 3,4701. 2s. Bd., when the rails cost 71. ss. per ton. The paper by Mr. W. Vanderldele, Assoc. Inst, C. E., described a very useful arrangement of machinery for working the diving-hell used in setting the masonry, at a. depth of about eight ft-et below the level of extraor dinary .6pring tides, in the extension of the pier at Kilrush, in the river Shannon, under the direction of Mr. T. Rhodes, the chief engineer of the Shannon COmmissioners. Upon a series of piles and longi tudinal timbers, a railway was laid, upon which two travelling platforms were constructed; with winches, &c. One of them brought the stone nearly ,over its intended position, and lowered it into the sea ; the other then brought the diving- bull over it, and by means of a chain and purchase, the stone was lifted and placed properly in its place by the men in the bell. This work was continued through all seasons, and with the utmost regularity, and the work so constructed was as .~.:J 1 solid as if built on dry land. The drawings accompany ing the paper gave all the details of the machinery. "An account of the drops used for the shipment of coals at Middlesbro' on Tees," by G. Turnbull, Mem. Inst, C. E., was announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, March 30, 1846, when the monthly ballot for members will take place. STATE OF OUR CONVICTS IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. (From the Glasgow Examiner.) We have been favoured with the following extracts from the letter of a highly respectable gentleman in Van Diemen's Land, who has been eye wittness of the scenes he describes:— My protege, A-- B-- has now served his proba tion, and come to town. As his eonduct during that ' time has been remarkably good, he has at once received a third-class ticket and is eligible for employment. C have been doing my best to interest in his favour those who are most able to serve him. Already, through the Rev. Mr. Lillie, I have got him placed amongst the convict writers at the . Comptroller-General of Convict's Office. It is almost impossible to get a suit-. able situation for him just now, as the country is deluged with people similarly situated, of acknow ledged talent and abilities, who are glad to take the most mean and paltry situation in order to earn a few shillings. Under these circumstances, he has set his heart upon the situation of javelin mat'. This is an em ployment under the sheriff ; the pay is very trifling, I believe, but he prefers such a situation to a better with one of the colonists, as he will be sure of passing through the various stages of indulgence more quickly by being thus placed under the eye of those who can extend these advantages to him. He will, besides (as in private ser- - vice), live away from the prisoners' barrack, and when not occupied with his duties, be quite unrestricted in the employment of his time up to a curtain hour of the evening—l believe seven o'clock—when all but free people must be at their places of residence, or they will be immediately picked up by the police—who are Argus• eyed here—and if they cannot produce a special pass from their employer, be consigned to the watch-house, and next morning be sent by the police mogistrate to the tread-mill. I am in great hopes that I shall be able to procute this situation through Mr. Lillie, for him, as Mr. Barnet, the sheriff, is Mr. L.'s father-in law. You ask me if the convicts are obliged to wear their peculiar garb after they are engaged by the free population, thus marking them as belonging to the class they do, to those who might be otherwise ignorant of it. After a convict has served his probation, he can wear any dress he chooses, so that in that respect he is not marked. I mean that strangers passing him in the streets would, of course, think him a gentleman if he was dressed as one ; but do not for a moment suppose from this that a convict has any better chance of being received into respectable society again merely by th, change in his dress. As I have before mentioned, many prisoners have remained heie after their sentence had expired, and acquired a fortune; and are now rolling in their carriages ; but for all that, there is a broad line of demarcation placed between those that have been convicts and those who have not this awful stigma upon shell). The history, origin, and circumstances of every one who is in society here are all known ; and in select society, a gentleman could not commit a greater offence than by introducing a person who has been a prisoner. If the people at home are remarked for being reserved to strangers, what would be said of the people here who would scarcely talk civilly to a stranger until they knew .his history. I could astonish you very much in a walk through Hobart Town, by pointing out various charac— ters who have obtained an unenviable notoriety at home, whom we would meet now and then, and whom you would pass by without remarking anything unusual about them. Suppose I had the happiness of thus acting as your cicetone, I will give you an example or two :—Look at that good-looking man who is walking with a quick pace towards us ; you see he is very fashionably dressed, and has quite the air of an elegant ; and were it not that his clothes are a little faded, and the worse for wear, you would at once lay him down as an exquisite of the first water ; well, that is King, the London Post-office money-letter abstractor. You will observe that he is accompanied by another . person, a stout, grave, gentlemanlike individ ua l, w h o , judging by his manners and appearance, has evidently moved in good society, and enjoyed the comforts and luxuries of this life ; that is Beaumont Smith, the celebrated exchequer• bill forger, who, disdaining to com mit a trifling peccadillo, aspired to glorious celebrity as the prince of forgers, by doing business in that way to the extent of two hundred and odd thousand pounds. Going on further, we meet an old and rather shabbily dressed man wearing 'a straw hat ; he is a clerk to one of our grocers, and by the papers in his band, we may guess that he is going about collecting the accounts of his employer. It you look attentively at his face, you will at once conduce, from his grey hairs and "wrinkled care-worn face, that he is a man on whom the burning ploughshare of grief and mental agony has done the work of years ;—that is the unfortunate and misguided Frost, the Chartist IZeformer—one of the many -hun dreds who might be pointed out to show the cruel and wretched system pursued towards transported criminals. I allude to the equality of punishment which is dealt to all offenders ;--no matter how various their crimes, how dissimilar their dispositions. how different the depths of moral depravity to which they have :unk, all are indiscriminately mixed together in gangs; where men who have probably lived at one time in an ex itsplary manner in good society, supported. the various characters of husband, father, and friend, in a becoming and praiseworthy manlier, who are possessed of great abilities and good education, but have in an evil hour (perhaps maddened by injury and insult, or driven to despair by the prospect of indi gence and want) committed an act which has rendered them amenable to the laws of their country. Men such as these are herded together with the systematic burglar and robber, the pickpocket, the habit and re pute thief--wretches . who have been guilty of every crime under heaven, who from their infancy have been reared and educated in every shape and form of vise, whose language is obscene and blasphemous in the extreme—all are worked, fed, and lodged indiscrimi nately together. We are told that the object of punish ment is the reformation of the criminal, and are im pelled to give our cordial approbation to the benevo lence of such a principle; but how such an enlightened principle can be connected with the working ,out of the present probation system of convict discipline I am at a loss to-conceive. It is not the description of punish ment that I would altogether find fault with, although that is to a certain extent objectionable, both in kind and degree, but it is the loathsome and degrading association. How can he-who wishes to amend his life be expected to reform—no matter how strong-minded he may be' when all day long his ears ring with the curses and laughter of the vilest of mankind? If he shows a de termination to conduct himself well, he is assailed with the ridicule, mockery, and persecution of his companions. In the evenings he hears nothing but the exulting rela lations of successful villany, of credulity deceived, of charity and goodness abused, together with histories of profligacy, ingratitude, and every species of wickedness. The natural result of passing through such a dreadful ordeal is, that what was at first heard with the utmost hor ror, the unhappy man gradually becomes accustomed to— his feelings become day after day deadened to his de gradation—and at last, with the total extinction of every moral and religious feeling, he becomes an active partisan in crime, or h e is only passively honest until temptation is thrown in his way. This is a matter in which our colonial autocrat, Lord Stanley, incurs a fearful responsibility. I doubt not if he were presented with a complete and true picture of the awfully bad effects of his crude and ill-digested experiments in " penal science," it would harrow up his soul, if he had a particle of feeling. Instead of Van: Diemen's Land being a spot where the erring children of Men are reclaimed and won back to the paths of virtue and honesty, where a wise and good Government pursues those measures which can best en sure the reformation of its criminals, it is converted into a frightful pandemonium, where the comparatively good are initiated into a knowledge of vice and wickedness, of the existence of which they never previously dreamt. This distant island, therefore, intended to be a theatre for the development and growth of every latent spark of honour and principle, is turned into a vast moral grave, wherein is buried for ever every good and right feeling with which a convict is possessed, when he sets foot on its polluted shores I am,, however, forgetting our friend, A— 13—, As he was without money, and not allowed to bring out clothes with hire, he found himself quite destitute in that respect when he came again to town, and would have laboured under a very great disadvantage in Ob taining employment, if dressed in the prisoner's clbthing. I therefore sent him to my tailor, who supplied him with a new suit, so that he now looks respectable. .The whole expense of his rig -out, which was managed as economically as possible, will cost the something more than five pounds, which will be well bestowed, it I can get him a situation away from his vile associates, and so be the means of saving one victim of imperial expedi ency. I have great hopes of him ; he appears very grateful, and, I trust, will do well. If he should die crer4t tho description I have given of him to those whom have spoken tu on his behalf, by misbehaving, I shall o f course be compelled to abandon him to his fate.

Mr. BRIGHT said that he wished to call the atten tion of the House to a petition from the inhabitants of the Shetland Isles. It was signed by almost every adult male inhabitant in the whole 46 islands—to the num ber of 7,000. They were all fishermen, and they complained that they had great difficulty in disposing of their produce. The were also obliged to pay unna turally high prices for what they consumed, as the islands did not produce half enough food for them. They therefore prayed that the corn-laws mightbe abolisked, as during the 30 years they had been in existence they had deprived the fishermen of the fair reward of their labour, He also presented a petition from Mr. Ashur Ander son, a merchant of London, but a native of the Shetland Isles, which stated facts corroborative of those stated in the former petition, and prayed for the immediate and total abolition of the corn-laws. COUNTY ELECTIONS. Mr. H. ELPHINSTONE said that he wished to give notice that he would, on that day fortnight, move for leave to bring in a Bill to limit the polling at county elections to one day. THE NEW POOR-LAW. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that he should move as an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Member for Andover, " that they also inquire into the administra tion of the New Poor-law throughout England and Wales In answer to a question from Mr. V. SMITH, Sir R. PEEL said, that before the conclusion of the debate on the corn-law question, he should luy upon the table of the House a Bill for a new law of settlement, and also a Bill for the levying of parochial rates. He did not wish, however, to take any discussion upon them until afterwards. ROYAL ASSENT. Mr. Pullman, deputy usher of the black rod, ap peared at the bar of the House with a message from the Lords, requesting the attendance of the Commons, for the purpose of hearing her Majesty's Commission, and giving the royal assent to several Bills (for which see Lords' report). THE CORN-LAW DEBATES. _ _ Mr. FOSTER said, tke corn-law debates had now been so long protracted, that great inconvenience wus felt from the questics remaining so ling unsettled. There were a great number of notices of motion on the paper for this evening, which Inuit, if persevered in, be disposed of before the Committee on the corn-laws could be resumed. He therefore hoped that those Hon. Gentlemen who had charge of those notices would con relit to postpone them. Mr. I.:TVVALL said that this motion had been before the House-ever since the beginning of the session, and he was surprised at the request which the lion. Member had just made. He could nut but demur to accede to his request, for he believed there was an understanding with the Government, that his motion rtspecting the Andover Union should be broutlht before the House to-nigh. lie was not • aware that any thing had occurred to prevent that course, from being followed, but if there was, he was qtite ready to submit to any reason that might be assigned from the Treasury benches.—(Cries of " No, no," from the Ministerial side of the House.) Sir J. GRAHAM said that certainly no under standing had been entered into with the lion. Member; but if the motion were to be pen-evert:3 in, he should cer tainly feel it his duty to move an amendriwnt, for the production of all the papers connected with the affair of the Andover Union. Bat he thoir4ht a brit: r course might be pursued, and ho proposed to place in the hands of the lion. Member, and every Member of that House, copies of all the papers which had passed relative to the trans-fitioils vi cell the Honourable Member ref,rred, whieh wecubl wo lall the infOr mation which illy Govirvinent ri quested .en the subject. In additien-,v6 I , le- impels to which lie understood the frau Member fillutitd, lie intended to print aid f,rvi-ard te'Siivik 9 tz the M, tubers of the House the report of Mr. 'l)4:ter.:ZS well as of all the litters which had pahged between the Pour-law Commissioners relative to the "Andover Union, between the Ist of September, 1845, and the Ist of March, 1846. . This would place the house in possession of all the information wli!ch the Go-ernment had re• ccived, and he thought it would satisfy the Honourable Member. Mr. FERRAND hoped that he might be allowed to make a few remarks. The SPEAKER (interrupting Air. Ferrand)—The House must first know whether the Hon. Member was inclined to withdraw his motion. Mr. ETWALL was quite ready to withdraw his, and would do so, but he • thought that in the event of is pursu'ng that course, other Hon. Members who had no ti ce of motion on the paper ought to do the same. Mr. NE WDEGATE was understood to say that, owing to the importance of his motion, he could not con sent to withdraw it. THE ANDOVER UNION. Mr. E WALL rose to rove for a Committee of inquiry into the working of the pour-laws in the Andover Union. He was certain that it was the feeling of that House that the poor.• laws should be administered fairly, impartially, and kindly, and that the unfortunate inmates of such asylums should be treated with kindness and in dulgence.—(Hear, hear.) He felt certain that there was ua hope for, the poor, nor did they expect a redress of grievances from any quarter, save from that House. The Hon. Member then proceeded to read some extracts from tho minutes of the proceedings before the Poor law Commissioners at Andover, but, in consequence of the perpetual hum of conversation carried on in ali parts of the House, it was impossible to catch even the purport of the extracts. .He was afterwards under stood to say, that the Commissioners during their inquiries evinced the greatest anxiety to de prive the public of the benefit of their proceedings. He would not touch further upon the subject, but it ap peared to him that the Poor-law Commissioners took great pains to keep the public from knowing the result of their iuquiries, and if they were desirous of administering the law in a way which would be becoming to them, surely it was their duty to make themselves perfectly familiar with the characters of their officers and depen dents. The late, master of the Andover Union, who had been discharged, had received an excellent cha racter from Mr. Parker, a Poor-law Commissioner. He hOped that the Right lion. Baronet would, in all future investigations respecting the poor-law, see that they were presided over by impartial persons, and by judges in no way mixed up with the administration of the law. He could not but feel surprise that the papers connec ted with the Andover case had not been-presented earlier. The bones, which were seized with so much avidity by the paupers. had lain in a state of decomposition in the workhouse yard for two er three months. There was no such instance of ill-treatment of the poor as that which occurred at-this union. When a new bone was thrown into the yard, there was a scramble for it ; one man; in one instance, had been fortunate enough to get two hones, and he had to scamper off with it, after the manner of a dog.—(Hear, hear.) The poor people, it appeared ,from the evidence, wore a long while before they could eat the filthy marrow out of the bones. All:tlie witnesses at the inquiry stated that there was an awful deficiency of bread. Mr. Mundy stated that the paupers were accustomed to eat potatoes which were dug out of the ground after the first crop. These boys were employed to carry weights, from 161bs. to 201b5., and . feeling that the labour to which they were subjected was more than their strength could bear, they had applied to the master for an increase to their allowance of food. Now, this was iu direct contradiction to the rules of the Commissioners, and thus were the paupers placed in such positions, that either their health must suffer, or the • rules of the Commissioners be violated. This master had been brought under his notice during the kit three or four years ; for about the beginning of that finis, a new church was begun to be built on the site of an 'old one. During the progress of laying the founda tion-stone, a great number 'of bones had been, re moved.- Part of those had been sold to the usual collector of bones in Andover, of whom they had been purchased by many of the farmers in the neighbourhood, but a large portion was carried to the workhouse, where the paupers were employed to crush then.: It was easy to perceive the difference been these . human bones and the bones of horses. 'Nothing More .revolting could haie been imposed upon the inmates.. Thee witnesses collected for the board's inquiry were collected by the master of the workhouse. No 'public notice was given of the inquiry, and he (Mr: Etwall) was in a condition to prove that . many of the persons examined were constrained wit • nesses on the occasion. If Such matters as these were allowed to pass over, there was •no knowing where the system would end; and therefore he felt it necessary to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the work ing of the system of poor-laws.—(bear, hear.) ale would not go into the details of the second case, because the object of his motion was not to disgrace officers of the union, but merely to call the attention of the House to the subjtct. The gentleman who caused these inquiries to be' brenght forward had been for scene . years the medical attendant in the union. He was elected in March, 1842, and received a 'higher salary than was usually given. For two years Mr. Westlake had suspected that the aged and sick pacyers t id not receive the full allowance allotted to them, and his April, 1844, he suggested to the board of guardians Coat these allowances should be entered in a book. ft !night be asked. why did not Mr. Westlake inform the oerrid of guardians of what he cusp eted, but there was every ahowanee to be made for his not doing so, as alleged as his reason than he had a strong and coil vincina case to lay before them it would be impossible to persuade the Board of the correctness of his suspicions. AUCHINLECK. The disturbances which have recently revived the fame ofLockerbie, and whi c h more recen tly, were ex ceeded at Penrith, bid fair to be rivalled in this, previ ously quiet place. •Forsome timepast the bile of the Irish labourers, engaged upon the Kilmarnock and Cumnock Extension Railway, and at the Iron works now erecting in this neighbourhood, has been disturbed and in creased by some commotion agitating their own ranks. Every spare corner and every extra bed, in Auchinleck, has more than its proportion of Irishmen; and, what ever the causes, the scenes which have daily and nightly occurred of late are anything but pleasant. On the night of Saturday, the 21st ultimo, a number of these dissolute, and regardless men paraded the streets, and committed a violent and unprovoked assault upon a person of the name of Foggo, a gardener, residing at Dumfries House Gate-house, striking him several severe blows, and otherwise abusing him. On the same evening the house of one of the landlords of the Irishmen, Terrance Lovel, was entered for the'purpose of maltreating one of their countrymen, who was accom modated there. The landlord, having endeavoured to divert the storm about to burst upon his lodger, was himself assaulted, the inmates severely beaten, and turned out into the street. The mob then proceeded to wreck the interior of the house. On the Sunday fol lowing, while the sober and serious part of the com munity were in attendance upon Divine worship, another riot took place in the streets of the village ; but, through the activity and courage of the inhabitants, who powerfully seconded the efforts of the police officer who had arrived from Cumnock, six of the rioters were apprehended and conveyed to Cumnock gaol, and thence to Ayr, on the following morning. On Monday, one of the gangers—himself an Irishman — having become obnoxious to the labourers, the whole of the Irishmen struck work, and demanded that ho should be dismissed. Such was the state of alarm into which the village was thrown, and such the fears entertained by the inhabitants, that a meeting was held on Tuesday evening, and a body of the population patrolled the streets throughout the night. A petition, setting forth the state of matters, was also got up and numerously signed, and forwarded to the sheriff of the county ; and, in the meantime, arrangements were made for raising a• small body of resident policemen, for the se curity of life and property. Such a state of matters cannot long be tolerated. The works of the railway are proceeding in the immediate vicinity of the village ; and a rainy day has ever been dreaded, since the com mencement of these works, as something worse than an Egyptian plague. Driven from their work by the wetness, idleness gives opportunity fur a display of all their brutal appetites. Of course matters are worse since the strike. It is so far gratifying to think, that the Highlanders upon the line— who, unfortunately, are a small though able body of men—keep themselves en tirely apart from the Irish , and from these riotous pro ceedings; and that they voluntarily offered to assist the inhabitants in preserving order and the supremacy of the law. On Tuesday last, four of these rioters were tried be fore the sheriff, and sentenced to forty days' imprison. ment. On Thursday, two were tried for assaulting Fuego and Love], and received fourteen days' imprison. [neut.—Ayr Observer. FASHIONS FOR MARCH. (From . the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)

T H E POTATO CROP.—For some d ays b ac k t h e Isa bella Lawrence, of this port, has O t }:,r or t e h s te property Forests are entitled eel, ,a.itTgin a cargo of potatoes for the London market. -It Was 1 - Aelt , deiented expe dient to call in the local company of pensioners here, in case of any outbreak, but it was considered unnecessary to re tain them longer than Monday. The price of po tatoes in Inverness may, in the meantime, be stated at from 14s. to 16s. Potatoes are not keeping in pits so well as was expected, and somd parties ate apprehensive of suffering from the murrain, though we know of only two well- marked cases in this neighbourhood. ur.. i{ that - he fewer than seventy-four special constables ' were sworn in by the authorities of Nairn, preparatory to the sfiipmeut of potatoes from that port. In that neigh bourhood potatoes are slid at 12s. per boll, and the price in the town is 14e. per boll. We regret to:learn that the po tato malady has appeared in the Isle of Skye, and also at Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. The disease prevails in the district of Buchan also. Large quantities are annually shipped from that quarter fur seed to Yorkshire, and the dealers refuse to take them at present, even at the low rate of 10s.' per boll. It is, however, consolatory to learn that Professor Johnston has submitted to the public the result of the investigation entered into on this most important subject in October last. He states that " the information elicited went to show that not above one-sixth of the crop would be totally lost, and that as the crop had been nearly one-third above an average, it followed that, after all the losses, there would remain, in Scotland,. an average crop of potatoes."—lnverness Courier. APPOINTMENT EXTRAORDINARY.— We congratulate the Government upon their having adopted Lord Mor peth's suggestion to infuse, in imitation of our trans atlantic brethren, a little more of the democratic prin ciple into our institutions. Southampton has been chosen as the field for the first display of the new-born love of democracy, and it is to the Iron Duke we are indebted for the great fact. His Grace, as Lord Lieu tenant of Hampshire, has just been pleased (we hear) to confer thp dignity of Deputy-Lieutenant upon two worthy tradesmen of our borough—Mr. Lobb, citizen and haber dasher, our pitsent Mayor, and Mr.. Le Feuvre, packet agent, &c. We understand that the appointment, gratifying as it is to the gentlemen and their friends, is by no means pleasing to the majority of their Confreres, who look upon these honours as the exclusive privilege of the landed gentry. —Hampshire Independent. CITY OF LONDON TRUSS SOCIETY.—The anniversary festival of this institution NVP.B held on Tuesday evening, at the Lon don Tavern ; Lord Elcion presided. The society, since the year 1808, has relieved no less than 132,855 patients. In the past year 4,559 individuals had partaken of the benefits which are voluntarily be stowed upon those in need. In the course of the proceedings, the Noble President stated that in the agricultural as well as in the ma nufacturing districts, hernia existed extensively, and that applica tions for assistance exceeded the means which were placed at the disposal of the City of London Truss Society. In thousands of in stances the labouring population had, through the instrumentality of this association, been enabled to return to their employment, and maintained `their families. Including donations in the room and , those on the secretary's list, from 1,2301. to 1,3001. was announced to have been received; Sir Veils Booth, Benjamin Hawes, Esq., the Noble President, and many others present, were liberal donors. The entertainment was in the best style, and the company was enliveeed during the evening by the excellent singing of Mr. Ilobbs, Mr. Francis, Mr. Lockey, and Mr.' Hutton. THE NEXT POTATO CROPs:— At the ordinary meeting of the Horticultural Society, held on Tuesday, Er. Lindley exhibited several specimens" of new franie potatoes, as well as those grown -in the open ground, tient various parts of the, country, which prove the lamentable fret that the disease will' be greater in the ensuing than the past season. In addition to the trials made at the garde ns of the . Society at Chiswick, experiments with regard to the prospects of the crops under - every variety' and the best advantages of skill, cultiva tion, and soil, had been undertaken, amongst other places, in the gardens of Lady Rolle, and. Sir Thomas Dyke Aeland, in -Devon alaire, and Mr. Meyrick f in the Isle of Anglesea, specimens of which .were !aid on the table. The details were very lengthy, but th e substance may be. conveyed In tile s tatement o a few facts. The potatoes front Auglesea w ere from sets of 1 • 844 ' when the disease had not made its appearanc e; but - althou gh they had not exceeded the the disease be ing fully of marbles, they were to a lamentable condition, being fully developed in the interior. From some sets new potatoes in an ap parently sound condition had been produced, although the decayed and blighted haulm showed that they could not continue so. The pro- Pagation of the disease was of an ambiguous character, as, although potatoes - without apparent disease had Wen produced from diseased sets, those in Which it was apparent it had not existed had produced diseased issucs Experience and science had gone hand in hand without producing any result, and no general practical remedy had been suggested. Dr. Li n dl e y farther staled that on Saturday he had received from rel ALerdeen the correspondence with the different British Consuls; amongst the most i n teresting of which was that from Washington, in 'which it was stated that the disease first ap ity peered in 1543, and had gone .on in intens years. 'I he same might b e e xpected in this the succeeding two country, and it required the utmost caution to guard- against its effects. 'that the disease was not confined to potatoes Was apparent from seine carrots , exhibited by tile M a r qu i s o f Lansdowne, which were placed on the table. It had shown it- elf also in onions, which would not keep this season, ant all the Dutch hyacinths arc in a similar airceted state. LIALLINASLor, F ED . 93.—We are extremely sorry to hear the potato disease has again czannienced ravagesin this neighbourhood.. Several persalls who h.cd them quite sound a month ag o, on a recent examination of their pits, have found the disease to'have made considerable progress. A gentleman to day informed us, that in the parish of Alias eregle the disease was proceeding with the most fearful rapidity, and that he believed before May arrived, a sound potato would not he found in the district. SirJaraes of Weston, near Ahascragle has ordered that extensive em ployment should be procu red on his estate for the people around him, and also that provisions should be stored to meet the scarcity.—Bainasfoe ddvel user. _ - 4S.
