The Lora) CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. After the presentation of petitions. The- Earl ST. GER3IAIB moved e thei Committee on the it xt a it s ined the nature of these intended wtoas Irish Pacification Bill, and fieneGa t n o Ellyn p : r il o ti - -e various amendments which • pose in Co nmittee ; among tog the duration of the Act With regard to the amendment proposed by Earl years. coul,i nut consent to it. 'The punishment of all others most dreaded by the L ish was transportation, and one example of summary transpor t a tion would produce more effect than many examples of imprisonment; and it should be remem bered that they were now about to apply an extrarordinary remedy to on extraordinary state of things. They could not detect - criminals, and, therefore, they were bound to prevent crime by preventing persona being abroad after nightfall. The Noble earl then quoted the opinion cf Mr. O'CoNsELL in 183-1, as to the necessity of some law to prevent persons being out after nightfall. The object was, to get at those concerning whose guilt there could be no moral doubt, but against whom persons refused to . give evidence. . Besides, the power of awarding punishment was left to the Judge, and it was impossible to doubt that he would exer cise a proper discretion. He believed that nothing short of the proposed measure would meet the exigencies of the case, and he knew that several persons connected with Ireland considered that it did not go far enough. Lord BROUGHAM considered it was degrading to think that any of their fellow-creatures should be living under such a . , • delusion as to imagine that they had a right to massacre . • their landlords for the exercise of the undoubted and proper rights of property. With regard to the amendment of Lord DENMAN, he would postpone it, and make it part of a more general measure. He considered the amendment, enabling ma g istrates to discharge • they were satisfied as to the truth of their account as to the reason for their being abroad, was a great improvement. NElrcl i* ilriitaptransportation, he considered it would be --, adiasabl a I:eases at immediately, of thepunish ct7,:o transfer the criminal from Iffieroclifeeihe . •p, so t h o a n t 14LO nflgito4.fi. lace .( clue time being given, nlfilia-t4ay•atltel the hulks, to • inquire into the case.

The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Bill. The Bill was passed through Committee, and the various amendments were made in it. Earl GREY'S amendment, to do away with the punishment of transportation in cases where persons in proclaimed coun ties were found out of their houses after nightfall, was rejected by a majority of 31. The numbers being for the amendment 7, against it 38. One of the amendments agreed to was for limiting the Bill to three years. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Colonel THOMAS Wool) presented a petition from Chelsea, for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. Several petitions of a similar nature were also presented, as were petitions against the embodiment of the militia. A new writ was ordered for Stafford, in the room of the I - lon. SWYNFItN THOMAS CARNEGIE, who, since his election, had accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury. In answer to a question from Mr. WitsoN PATTEN, rela tive to the amalgamation of railways, Sir G. CLERK said it was considered expedient by the Government, that all propositions for amalgamation should be referred to the same Committee. The Right Hon. Baronet, in answer to a question from Sir G. GREY, said the evidence taken before the Gauge Com mission would be laid on the table during the course of next week. The Railway Deposit Bill was brought in, read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. The second reading of the Turnpike Roads (Scotland) Bill was adjourned for a fortnight, in consequence of the absence of the Lord Advocate. On motion made for that purpose, It was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn to Monday. In answer to a question from Lord INGESTRE, Sir R. PEEL stated that at the conclusion of the discussion this evening, he would state when it was his intention to pro ceed with the Committee of Supply. The House then resolved itself into a C,`ommittee of Supply on the Corn and Customs Importation measures, and Mr. W. O. STANLEY, pursuant to notice, moved as an amendment to Sir R. PEEL'S plan, that in en of the duty now payable on the importation of corn, grain, meal, or flour, the product of foreign countries, there shall be paid a fixed duty of ss. per quarter upon wheat, 2s. 6d. on barley, 2s. on oats, and meal and flour in proportion. Cap°ain WOOD deprecated the delay Is hich had taken place with respect to this subject, believing it to be in jurious to the tenant-farmer, and also to the poor, as it prevented some decision being come to with respect to the law of settlement. He would vote against the amend ment, and against any proposition that was calculated to protract the carrying of the measures proposed by the Right 1-lon. Baronet at the head of the Government. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN would not vote upon the propo sition of the Hon. Member for Anglesea. After some observations from Lord George Bentinck, Lord John Russell, Mr. Collett, Sir John Tyrrell, Lord Worsley, Mr. Curteis, and Mr. Hudson, the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. M. MILNES then rose to move the omission of all words in the resolution respecting the importation of corn, referring to the cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in the year 1849. he bel:eved it was an idle thing to throw away altogether the idea of raising a fiscal revenue from corn. He considered that if the adoption of a low fixed duty was determined upon, all the difficulties surrounding this question might be got over. Mr. AGLIONRY pressed on the Government the necessity of enfranchising copyholds in the north of England. He was sure if they did so, they would ensure the support of hundreds who would otherwise oppose them. Sir H. PEEL trusted the Hon. Member for Pontefract would withdraw his amendment. As to the proposition of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, he thought it could not be entertained on the present discussion. lie thought it was well worthy of consideration irrespective of the corn laws. He thought the expense of transferring landed pro perty was a great evil. Mr. WILLIAM MILES dissented to the whole of the amend ments proposed. He intended, upon the discussion of the Bill, to maintain the corn-law of 1842. At present, he should offer no further opposition to the measure, but ha wished it to be understood, that in doing so, he did not abate one iota of his opposition to the resolutions, which he looked upon merely as the foundation of the Bill, to which he should give his most determined opposition before it left that House. _ . _ _ _ After some discussion, in which Sir Arthur Brooke, Mr. Acland, Mr. Stafford O'Brien, Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. P. Borthwick, Mr. Ward, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Hume, Mr. Fitz gerald, and Lord George Bentinck joined, Mr. M. Mit,NEs withdrew his amendment. Mr. P. IhowARD withdrew the motion of which he had given notice, for the extension of the period of protection upon corn until the Ist day of February, 1851. The resolutions with respect to the importation of corn were, as originally proposed by the Government, agreed to after a short discussion, in the course of which Sir R. PEEL stated that it was his intention to bring in the Bill founded on the resolutions on Monday; that on that day it should be read a first time, and he should suggest that the second reading should take place on Monday week. Colonel SIBTIIOKr renewed his attack against the Go vernment for not having several of its members in that House, especially the Secretary for the Colonies, and the Secretary for Ireland, and begged to know when the Right Hon.l4aronet expected to see them on the Treasury benches? Sir IL PEEL could not say, but he would undertake, if the Gallant Colonel would accept the Chiltern Hundreds, that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, should op pose him for Lincoln. Colonel SIBTIIORP said he should consider himself dis graced by applying to the Government for the Chiltern [hundreds, and if he did he defied the Hon. Baronet or the Secretary for Ireland to turn him out of Lincoln. Sir R. l'Ekt„ in answer to an observation from Mr. DISRAELI, said that Mr. GIADSTONE had attended every Cabinet &mil since he had been Secretary of State for the Colonies, although he was not a Member of Parliament. The resolutions with respect to Indian corn, buck wheat, and rice, were then proposed. Mr. Mit.E's opposed the resolution. Sir IL PEEL believed, if corn was admitted duty free, many benevolent individuals would spend large sums in the purchase of it to assist in allaying the wants of the people of Ireland. He believed it would answer all purposes if members would allow the resolution to pass through the Committee that night, and discuss the questicn on tho re port on Monday, as he did not purpose to include this reso lution in the Corn Bill. The proposition of the Right lion. Baronet was, after a Aloft discussion, agreed to, the resolution adopted, and the report upon it ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned to Monday. The resolutions which relate to wheat, barley, oats, rye peas, and beans, and their respective meals, as also those which relate to buck-wheat, maize, maize -meal, and rice, have now been passed, and the Bill which is to regulate henceforth the import duties on these articles of food will be brought in on Monday next. The course which has been taken by the protectionists with regard to the various amendments of Mr. STANLEY, Mr. 111fuiEs, and others, has unexpectedly expedited the progress of Sir R. PEEL'S measure very greatly. They will have either the present protec tion or none ; they resist Sir R. PEEL'S measures in this spirit, and with the intention, if the measures pass, of endeavouring to pt them repealed and to come back to the state of things now ; they will not, therefore, be parties in any degree to any change, by supporting any modifications of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposals, and they wash their hands of all amend ments. When Mr. STANLEY'S amendment, last night, was supposed to be on the point of cutting to a division, it was amusing to see the protectionist phalanx wheeling out of the House in compact body. Well, we are quite ready to compound for the protectionists' chance of getting protection back again hereafter by their adoption of a course now which so materially facili tates the speedy enactment of Sir R. PEEL'S proposals- Once let Sir R. PEEL'S measure become the law of the land, and we wish the protectionists may get it rescinded. They look to a dissolution, infatuated men ! Let them depend on it that every week, nay every day which passes, increases the force of public opinion in favor of free trade, and brings its aid towards the future verification of Mr. CoaDEN's predic— tion as to the result of an appeal to the country. The course which the protectionist party are taking in the Commons will, we presume, also be taken hereafter in the Lords ; and if so, we get rid of a danger which has hitherto been present to our minds, of some modification in the Upper House which might cause the rejection of the Bill alto ther. There is now, however, no doubt that the protec tionist party are committed to abstaining altogether from support of amendments ; and this being so, all doubt about the fate of the Bill in the Upper House is removed. We re peat a statement which we made some days ago, that calcu lations, by persons most competent to form an opinion, make a majority of at least thiry for the Government in the House of Lords. The Austrian Government is said to be a paternal Govern ment, watching over the people with more than a father's care, chastising them only when they are in error, treating them with great kindness when they continue in the beaten tract, but punishing them with severity when they venture to think that they are wiser than their rulers, or that they are in any way capable of self-government, or judging fur themselves. If this is paternal government, England may well congratulate herself that she knows not its blessings, and that by disobedience to its precepts she has emancipated herself from the thraldom of priests, banished a race of kings calling themselves the fathers of their people, and established a system of government, which has raised her to the highest pitch of power, and made her the envy of the world. But despotism is so attractive to those in office, that it is never given up but by force, and Austria, which knows that by force alone it can be retained, has taken care to keep herself fully prepared by a large artily and its peculiar distribution to put down every attempt to wrest eon absolute dominion from her hands. Nothing but this German religion : cellsocri°autsVn!: of power could have induced the First Chan tuhpeo e t h fo e r nf-irae Vienna to issue a tyrannical edict against the new when n er even in the darkest ages, or during n for its very existence, t e i d o o n m of thouyghtm, such f a determination to put di t d heCatholic Church was struggling thereain appear such a wanton attack down new doctrines b h a ie t h e destroy lloricin this attempt of the Court Catholics in the ., of Ausrtcel and persecution, as and his followers. The document, thewr Colcgna Gazette, announces that themselves Gentian, not forming part of any r calling) themselves com munity acknowledged in the Austrian monarchey, 11- legal association, and have no right of domicile in trheeanem• Those who compose it are to be punished as crimi: pre. nals in case of any breach of certain articles of the code re lative to the rights of the Church. Foreigners professing the new doctrines, if they enter the country w.thout the permission of the Austrian Minister re-iding at their respective courts, are immediately to be expelled— in other words, they will not be sutreted to enter the country. Foreigners residing in Austria professing these doctrines shall be ordered to quit the country without delay, and article 6th provides that in case of the death of any one of these sectaries no funoral ceremony shall he performed, un less the priests of the church to which he belonged shall havl giyen their consent, and the body shall be buried in silence through the intervention ofthe civil authorities. And in ' the event of any Austrian functionary adopting the new doctrine, he shall be immediately proscribed and removed from office. But vain are all these safeguards for the Catholic faith. They have already been tried, and at every trial they only added fuel to the flame. All this, however, is in perfect keeping with the dull, despotic, and deadening policy which has so long prevailed in the Aulic councils, and they have reaped the fruits. It led to the defeat of every Austrian army when it came in contact with the French under the Re public, the Consulate, and the Empire, and it bids fair to dissolve the heterogeneous mass of states now kept in sub jection by DlErrEnslcn, solely from the fear of banishment, perpetual imprisonment, or death. If we could have counselled Mr. ETWALL with hope of success, we should have said,—" Let the Andover Union wait till the Corn Bill has got through the House of Com mons." It must be allowed, however, in justice to the Hon. Member for Andover, that he expressed his readiness to post pone his motion, if other Hon. Members who had notices after his would also postpone theirs, in order to allow the Committee on the commercial resolutions to come on. Mr. NEWDEGATE expressed his determination to bring on his motion for inquiry into the proceedings in the Warwickshire Registration Courts ; and if the night was to be occupied, to the exclusion of free-trade, the Honourable Member for An dover had as much right to the night as the Member for Warwickshire ; and there is no comparison in respect of importance between the two motions. We yield to none, and have shown it often, in desire for the success, and the speedy success, of Sir R. PEEL'S measures; but that does not blind us to the importance of the questions raised on Thursday night, as to the mismanagement in the Andover Union, the extraordinary mode in which the Poor. law Commissioners obstructed the inquiry which they had themselves instituted, and their peculiar treatment of the Assistant-Commissioner who conducted the inquiry, Mr. PARKER. There is no reason why the ad verse division of Thursday should in any way injure the eause of free trade. There is no connexion between the two questions. A 3 to the decision which is said to have been turned against the Government by the protectionists, it may be so or it may not. If it be, we have only to say that the votes of gentlemen, given against the Government from pique, are worth as much as if given (as they would have been given last session) for the Government, for no other reason than to help the Govern ment, and equally without regard to the merits of the case. But we have taken some trouble to analyse the division; and we find that in the majority of 92 for Mr. CHRISTIE'S amend ment (on which the division took place) there were no less than 38 Members from the Liberal side, and among them some most zealous free-traders, that some Conser vative Members who support Sir ROBERT PEEL, as Sir JOHN HANMER, Mr. Alderman COPELAND, and Mr. BODKIN, were also in the majority, and that a large proportion of the Conservative Members, who voted against the Government, have always been consistent opponents of the Poor-law Commissioners. The unanimity of the speakers in favour of inquiry into the treatment of Mr. PARKER is a much stronger and more striking proof of its propriety than the majority of votes. Every one who rose, with the single exception of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, treated inquiry as imperatively necessary, and if it had been necessary before, Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S speech, as Mr. IIUME observed, made the necessity stronger. Sir JAMES GRAHAM vindicated Mr. PARKER'S dismissal, by charging him generally with indis cretion and insubordination. Specific instances in support of these general charges Sir J. GRAHAM avoided mentioning. ➢lr. PARKER, after ten years' service in the Poor-law Com mission, having received during that service many marks of the approbation of his superiors, is dismissed without cause assigned, but under circumstances calculated to give rise to all sorts of suspicions and imputations; he is thrown back upon his , profession, under great disadvantages; and the Horne Secretary having an opportunity, in the House of Commons, of explaining the reason of Mr. PARKER'S dismissal, if he does not choose to allow the House of Corn mons to inquire into it, gives no explanation, deals still in general charges only, acids some general charges of his own, as if anxious to add to the load of disadvantage under which Mr. PARKER has been compelled to return to the legal pro fession, and refuses inquiry. We shall now ascertain, we presume, the specific complaints against Mr. PARKER. The Poor-law Commissioners claim, it appears, the power of removing these Assistant-Commissioners. The division of Thursday has settled that question. But if the House of Commons had sanctioned such a claim, we say that there would have been an end to all chance of procuring men of character and independence to fill the office of Assistant-Commissioner. The Assistant-Commis sioners ars generally taken from the bar ; and among them are many members of the bar of high standing and reputa tion. Mr. PARKER'S treatment might have been theirs, if the Government had had a majority. Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have been received. On that day the discussion on the Bill for indemnifying the lay titheholders was resumed, when the Finance Minister took the opportunity of making certain statements calculated to allay the anxiety of the public in reference to the new plans. The measure, he said, had originated with the former Go vernment, and so far from the new loan injuring credit, he was quite sure that it would have the contrary effect, and that public credit would soon rise. The law established one great point—the abolition of tithes, and the prnpocod g rant for public worship and the clergy bad been reduced by 9,000,000 reals, which would afford additional means of paying the interest of the debt. The Gazeit2 publishes a royal decree appointing M. MAEruiEz DE LA. Rost Am bassador of Spain in Paris. The prospect of a new loan had depressed the funds. The Three per Cents. closed at 30i for cash, and 30 13-16 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. nt 2li at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies some questions were put to the Minister of Public Works relative to a fatel acci dent which, it was said ; had occurred on the Lyons and St. Etienne Railway. The Minister regretted much to be obliged to state that a very dreadful accident had certainly occurred, the particulars of which he had received on Wed nesday morning from the Prefect of the Rhone. The shock was frightful. One of the locomotives was dashed to pieces, and several waggons were entirely crushed. On receiving intelligence of the accident, the Prefect, the Procureur du Roi, and the Procureur-General proceeded to the spot, and found that eight persons had been killed and 30 wounded, of whom 10 very dangerously. "This melancholy accident," he added, " was not to be attributed to any defect in the construction of the line, but rather to a want of care and prudence on the part of the administration. The whole affair was at present under official investigation, which might call for punishment both criminally and civilly." He stated also, at the same time, that the cause of the fall of the Barentin viaduct was now perfectly well known to be a want of firmness in the bases of the columns on which the arches were constructed. In the Committees, the Deputies had examined several bills, among others, two for the better fortification of Havre. By one a sum of 11,500,000 f. were demanded for the fortifica tions towards the sea, and 10,000,000 f. for those on the land - side. By another Bill, the Government demands 16,000,000 f. for improvements in the harbour, and for the construction of four forts. Both Bills were approved of in the bureaux. Another Bill, demanding 19,200,000fi for the fortifications of Cherbourg was also examined, and ap proved of. The Postal Reform Bill called forth a length ened discussion, and was generally approved of. Several Members, however, warmly advocated a uniform postage. The insurrection in Poland is adverted to in most the papers, but great mystery appears still to prevail on this melancholy subject. It is distressing to hear of such gallant people constantly rising up against their oppressors, and often without the slightest prospect of success, only to be trampled down anew. The Journal des Debuts, in the following paragraph, attributes to Prussia and Austria merits to which they are not entitled, but the rest of it unfortunately is too true :—" Since the first par tition of Poland, now more than seventy years ago, the Poles have several times endeavoured to regain the independence of their country. They have always paid most dearly for their efforts, which, though always heroic, were frequently inopportune and wanting in prudence. This last attempt, undertaken against the three powers, two of whom, Austria and Prussia, have shown great tolerence towards their Polish provinces, conforming besides to those principles of justice and humanity which cannot be denied their Govecn ments, appears to us destined to draw down upon this unfortunate country only new misery." According to a letter from Breslaw, of the 27th of February, the insur gents of Cracow were in possession of the town as late as the 25th, and the Provisional Government, in anticipation of an attack on the 2Sth by the Prussian troops, had ordered all the male inhabitants from eighteen to fifty years of age to take arms in support of the insurrection. A proclamation had been issued exhorting the people to exertion, and pro mising abolition of all their grieVances. It is stated in one of the Paris papers, that 31. BOUTENIEFF the Russian Minister at Rome, had presented a note to the PorE, denying, in the most positive manner, the state ments relative to the persecution of the Basilian nuns at Minsk. The note contradicts -the whole of the assertions alleged to have been made by the Lady Abbess.

Three cases occurred last week, which, though not of great extent, may be regarded as au indication of the fact we have stated. The trustees of the Mackintosh Education Fund lot part of their land, of which the lease had expired, in the vicinity of the town, at ten per c nt. higher rent than was paid by the same party for the same land thirty years ago, when war prices prevailed. Another lot, belonging to the same trust, was rented at 20 per cent. above the former lease. A third case occurred at some distance front the town. A farmer failed, but Ills neighbours and others, convinced that this was not owing to high rent, and trusting to improved agricultural management, came for ward with applications for the farm ; and it was let at precisely the same rent as before, for which ten or twelve offers were made.— Inverness Courier. EXPORTATION OF BEER.—With reference to an order issued by the Lords of the Treasury in September, 1842, on the sub ject of the exportation of strong beer, the revenue authorities have received a communication from Mr. Cardwell.

SHERIFFS• COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner BuLLocx.) JOSEPH V. HASWELL. This was an action to recover the sum of 121., on a guarantee. The defendant pleaded the general issue. The facts of this case were rather important. It appeared by the evidence for the plaintiff; that in July last a pro missory note, signed by Robert and James Haswell, was dishonoured, and an action was commenced on the 26th of September. On the Bth of October the defendant gave a guarantee to pay the note, in consideration that the plaintiff would " withhold all proceedings." On the 9th, however, the declaration in the action was filed ; and, as there was no defence to the action, judgment was issued on the 11th. On the 23d James Haswell was summoned before the Court under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why he did not pay the sum of 51., for which judgment had been entered up. Mr. THOMAS contended that the plaintiff had, by proceed ing with the action, absolved the defendant from liability. It was now alleged that there had been a distinct debt of 51. due from James Haswell, for goods sold and delivered. The writ and declaration had been issued for 191. 195., which would have covered the amount both of the note and the debt; that although the declaration was not filed until after the guarantee was given, yet that the plaintiff could not split his claim and proceed for one part only ; and that as to the whole, the plaintiff was debarred from proceeding after he had accepted a guarantee to " withhold all proceedings for one month." The Learned COMMISSIONER, in addressing the jury, said that the insertion of 191. 19s. was merely nominal, but they could not go beyond 20/. in this Court. The whole question for the jury was, whether the guarantee was for staying all proceedings, or only the action as far as regarded the promis sory note. Mr. Moms submitted that the declaration was framed to meet the guarantee. The Learned COII3ILSSIONIZR said it was clearly proved that judgment was entered up for 5/. only, although under the same declaration the bill might have been recovered. The jury consulted for a short time, and then retired for nearly an hour, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A man, who described himself as a tailor, but refused to give any account of himself, was charged with being a sus pected person, found loitering about opposite Sir Robert Peel's residence, it was suppos?d for some unlawful purpose. He was found by a policeman " walking up and down " in front of Sir R. Peel's house, and not being able to explain what business he had there, he was taken in charge. The prisoner was charged with a similar offence at this Court in the course of last week, and was then discharged on entering into his own recognizances to keep the peace. He denied that he had any improper motive, and said he was only walking about for his own amusement. He could not understand what was the charge against him, as he was not charged with injuring or obstructing anybody. Mr. JARDINE said that, as the prisoner bad been charged with the same offence on a previous occasion, he must now find bail for his good behaviour. He, Mr. Jardine, could not do as he had done on the previous occasion, let the prisoner go upon his own recognizances. The prisoner appeared quite astonished at having to find bail when "there was no charge against him," and was pro ceeding to make a very eloquent oration, when his remarks were cut short by the gaoler, who removed him from the dock. We believe the necessary bail was obtained. THE SUN" EXPRESSES. " Ttis SUN" NEWSPAPER.—Through Mr. Gerrish, News Agent here (Devizes), we received copies of the Morning Sun before eight o'clock, within five hours of the termination of the debate, a triumph of speed which a few years ago would have been deemed impossible. For this act of kindness we are doubly obliged to the spirited proprietor, as it enabled us to give the Mechanics' Institution the benefit of early infor mation by placing a copy on the table of their reading-room. litiltshire Independent. EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—The great debate on Friday night, preceding the division which took place at a quarter past three on the following morning, was fully reported in The Sun of Saturday last, accompanied by a clearly written summary, and, by the enterprise of Mr. Murdo Young—one of the great pillars of the B itish press—arrived, by special engine, in Sheffield, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the same day. This is a fact in the modern wonders of convey ing intelligence by newspaper which ought not to be for gotten.—Shcilied Iris. " THE SUN" Expititss.—The intelligence of the Ministerial majority on the Corn Importation Bill, reached our office at half-past nine on Saturday morning, exactly six hours after the division took place. We were indebted to The Sun newspaper for this express; none of the morning journals arrived until the usual hour.—Nottingham Review. NEWSPAPER EsrrEarmzE.—The quickest transmission of intelligence which we have ever had to Cambridge was effected by The Sun newspaper last Saturday morning. The division on the corn-laws took place a few minutes after three, and at a quarter before six, that is in considerably less than three hours after the division, we had a full report and analysis of the debate, with the division, down in Cambridge. The papers were of course sent by special engine on the rail. —Cambridge Chronicle. THE DIVISION.—The result of the division on the corn-law debate, which took place at three o'clock on Saturday, was received here by the train at three in the afternoon—at which hour we were furnished with the whole debate by Mrs. Noble, news-agent, of the Market-place. The Hamburgh steamer being about to sail for Hamburgh that afternoon, copies of The Sun and Times were sent out by her,.and would probably carry the first intelligence to Germany.—Hell Advertiser. " THE SUN" EIPEESSES.—On Saturday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, a copy of that morning's Sun, forwarded by Murdo Young, Esq., the proprietor, was left at our office. containing the close of the great debate in the House of Commons, and the division, which took place at half past two o'clock—thei House not adjourning till a quarter-past three. The other morning papers also sent expresses, but The Sun was the first delivered, and the first to spread the news along the road.

TILE DIVISION ON THE k,ORN-LAW DEBATE.—SrEciAL EXPRESSES OF THE DAILY PAPERS.—In the third edition of our last week's paper we acknowledged the early receipt of The Sun newspaper and of the Daily News, containing the closing- th. dchatc and the division. Both the papers reached Leeds abnut one o'clock by special engines, and within a few minutes of each other; -”-o attributed the successful arrangements to W. H. Smith, news-agent. of 192, Strand, London. This we learn was an error, the ex presses, in these cases, having been under the sole direction of the newspaper offices. It may, however, be mentioned as an evidence of the vigilance and spirit of Mr. Smith, that the cost of the .tpecial engine expresses, furnished by him on other occasions during the debate, alone has amounted to nearly 1,0001. We believe too that the acceleration of trains be tween London and the North, referred to in a paragraph in our Supplement, is chiefly owing to the representations made by Mr. Smith to Mr. Hudson, M.P. Leeds is among the towns which experience the advantage of this acceleration, the Morning papers of each day arriving now at a quarter to three, instead of a quarter to four P.m. Wonderful as the circumstance of the London news being in Leeds so early after its publication in the metropolis would have been thought a few years since, it is thought that arrangements might be made which would bring it still earlier than the present to all parts of the north. Should a plan to effect that object be suggested to the railway authorities, we hope it will meet with their favourable consideration.—Leeds Mercury. We have to acknowledge our obligations to Aiurdo Young, Esq., the spirited proprietor of The Sun, by whose exertions we received, on Saturday evening last, intelligence by express of the division in the House of Commons on Sir Robert Peel's measure. The arrivLl of The Sun anticipated the mail by 14 hours.—North Devon Journal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.

LATE ASSAULT UPON A POOR WOMAN BY ONE Ols PRINCE ALBERT'S GAMEICEEPERS.—It will be recollected that in Reptettlbef leg it gamekeeper named Thomas Tipp, in the service of Ittlytt: Ftiglliiees Ptinee Albert, was convicted in the penalty of 21. and costs, before the Maidenhead bench of magistrates, of having set a ferocious dog (stated to ba a bloodhound) upon a poor woman named Wells, whom the keeper discovered iii the royal preserves, near Windsor, in the act of gathering dead wood foe firing. The WoiPiati Mated, in her evidence before the magistrates, that she was very far advanced in Pteglitstiey. It was attempted to be shown by a medical witness, who had been fititiltitoned to attend the inquiry by the head gamekeeper, that the woman's tale of her being in the fathily.way was entirely without foundation. The poor woman, heft-Vet Eiffel' enduring great suffering for upwards of five months (having been Centilied lb her room for the last six weeks of that period), was delivered Of a thale child on Tuesday last, by Mr. Wasted, surgeon, of Maidenhead. Mrs. Wells is the wife of a labour ing man, and is not only in great distress, but in a very precarious state. Topp was discharged from the service of his Royal Highness Prince Albert shortly after he was convicted of the assault. It is stated that, soon afterwards, he obtained a situation in the Excise.

The builder is under terms to complete the prison in eighteen months from the present time. The old prison, w,!:ich has been demolished, was erected in the reign of James ll.—Bui/der.

The stolen property consisted chiefly of six sets of gold studs, and a number of diamond and other pins. Suspicion is not at present at tached to any particular individual. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 6. --The supplies of all grain are limited, with the exception of Barley, of which the arri val is larger.

The following proclamation and decree of'the Provisional Government at Cracow, occupied by the insurgents, was re ceived at Paris at a late hour on Thursday night, and pub lished in some of the journals. These documents are copied from the Herald. " MANIFESTO OF THE POLISH GOVERNMENT OF THE GENERAL POLISH CAUSE. " POLE 3! " The hour of insurrection has sounded. All dismembered Poland rises and greatens. Already our brothers of the Grand Duchy of Posen, of Russian Poland, and of Lithuania, have risen, and in Russia combat against the enemy : they combat for their most sacred right, taken from them by force and fraud. You know well what has passed and is passing. The flower of our youth languishes in dungeons. Our fathers, whose councils sustained us, are subjected to contempt. Our clergy is reviled. Whoever desires ,to live or die for Poland is destroyed, or pines in a dungeon, or is liable every moment to be thrown into one. The groans of millions of our brethren, who perish under the knout in subterranean dun-• geons, and are sent away to the remotest ends of the coun tries of our oppressors, submitting to all the sufferings of which humanity is capable of enduring, have deeply struck and moved our hearts. They have taken away our glory, prohibited our language ; interdicted the profession of the faith of our fathers. They oppose insurmountable barriers to the amelioration of our social state, arm brother against brother, and calumniate the most honoured children of our country. Brothers, one step more, and Poland exists no longer. Our grand children will curse our memory for having left them nothing, in one of the finest countries of the world, but deserts and ruins ; for having left our warlike people in irons ; for having forced them to profess a foreign faith, to speak a strange language, and for having reduced them to be slaves of ou:c oppressors. The dust of our fathers, martyrs of the righ! s of the nation, cries from the tomb to avenge them. Children at the breast implore us to preserve for them the country that God has confided to us. The free nations of the world invite us not to allow our nationality to be de stroyed. God himself invites us, he who will one day demand an account of our stewardship. We are twenty millions! let us rise as one man, and no force on earth can crush our power. " We shall have such liberty as never was enjoyed on this earth. Let us endeavour to conquer a focus of liberty of a community, where each shall enjoy the goods of the earth according to his merit and his capacity. Let there be no more privileges, but each Pole find full security for himself, his wife, his childrt D, and let him who is inferior in mind or body, find without humiliation the infallible aid of the nation, which shall have the absolute property of the land which to-day is only erjoyed by some. Interests (class interests ?) thus cease, as well as corves and similar rights, and those who shall fall with arms in their hands for le national cause, shall obtain an indemnity in land or national goods. Pol s! frcm this moment we recognise not any difference. Let us henceforward be as the children of one mother—of justice ; of one father—the God who is in Heaven. Ia tus in voke his aid; he will bless our arms, and give us victory ; but in order to draw down his blessing, we must not sully ourselves by the vice of drunkenness, or any other infamous action • let us not treat despotically those who have been confided to us ; let us not kill those who are without arms, nor such as do not think with ourselves, nor strangers ; for we fight not with people, but with their oppressors. In token of friendship let us mount the national cockade, and take the following oath : " I swear to serve Poland, my country, by council, word, and action. I swear to sacrifice to her my opinions, my life, my fortune. I swear absolute obedience to the national Go vernment, which has been erected in Cracow the 22d of this month, at eight o'clock in the evening, in the house of Kry stoforz,. and to all the authorities instituted by the Govern. ment, And may God assist me to keep this vow. "This manifesto shall be inserted in the Government jour nals, sent into all Poland, and notified in all the churches from the pulpit, and in all the communities by placards in public places. " Cracow, 22d Feb., 1846. " LOUIS GORZKOWSKI. DECREE. " 1. The Government of the revolution being absolute for all Poland, and responsible towards the nation ; " 2. 'Whoever is charged by the Government, or by an authority of the Government, to exercise an employment, or provisional functions, must exercise them under pain of death. " 3. Whoever, capable of bearing arms, does not, within 24 hours after the proclamation of insurrection, place himself under the local authority, shall be taken as a deserter before the Council of War. " 4. Pillage, violence, however merited, extortion of inte rests or coerce, active resistance, espionage, misapplication of the public funds, or their employment y any other than the Government, shall be punished with death. " 5. Whoever without authority of Government shall eF.ta blish clubs or societies will be considered as a traitor to his country. " G. Each district shall establish signals of communication, to be arranged with his neighbour. The signals are to be composed of long rods with straw steeped in pitch. The destruction of a signal will be punished with death The national flag is white and purple—a white eagt. , upon a purple ground, with outspread wings, and the .)ead turned to the right; in the right claw a crown of ~alt, and in the left a crown of laurel. This eagle is the 6eal of all the tri bunals and authorities of the country. "LOUIS GOR z.KOWSKI, "JEAN LIK4OWSKI, and " ALENA.ti ORE GIZZEGORZEWSKI, " CHAELES GEZEGORZEWSKI, "Secretary of the Government. . _ " Cracow, Feb. 23. ;846." " Krystoforz v as the residence of Joseph Poniatowski, during the c,mpaign of 1509, and is held in respect by the Cracovians% Cracow itself was the cradle of the old Polish monar,by, and capital of the kingdom under the Jagellen race , In addition to the decree above given, it is stated by the Paris Debats that other decrees were issued on the 24th, and among the names attached to them appears that of Count Potulicki, one of the richest citizens of Poland, Count Wod zicki, an o:d soldier, has been named, it is said, Commander of the Guard of Safety of the Republic. The Provisional Government has taken the most urgent mea sures of defence, for on all sides Prussian, Austrian, and Russian fel ors were marching to crush the insurrection. The Austrian Colonel Hanfeldt, with 400 of the old Cracow militia, have passed over to the new Government. It was said that deser tion had manifested itself in the regiments Mazadulla, and Bertotilli, and that they had been sent away from Gallicia. It was the attempt to destitute this Colonel by the Austrian General, De Collin, which caused the militia to rise, and forced De Collin to retreat to Podgorze. The three Consuls of the Protecting Powers had retired into Gallicia and Silesia. Their houses were plundered during the first explosion. The insurgent force was said to be twelve thousand, armed with scythes; but the scythe is the national weapon of the Poles, and it was with this arm that they beat the Russians at Radavia, under Kosciusko. The town of Cracow is an open town, without any defence but an old castle on the Podgorze side. In Gallicia, it was said, on the faith of travellers, that the insurgents were well armed and furnished with cavalry. JOHN BULL and JONATHAN POLK. Joule BULL—Master Jonathan, you are getting a little bouncible about Oregon. JONATHAN POLK—US won't arbitrate—l guess I would'nt. arbitrate whose sovereign this is that I have got in my pocket. J. I3.—You beg the question—we don't dispute your right to anything you are in possession of—we won't call it a sove reign, we'll call it twenty shillings. I have got some in my pocket and you have got some in yours—what you have got there may stop there and what I've got I mean to keep—you want to kick up a bluster and say, you'll take away what I have got. J. P.—Well, I guess the whole twenty shillings is mine and I'll have it—Oregon is ours. J. B.—Don't you wish you may get it. Well, you say it is yours, I am ready to arbitrate—but you shan't take it away by force. J. P.—We won't arbitrate, it's ours and we'll have it, and now what do you mean to do ? I guess you've got no pluck —look to Ireland—your afear'd to touch us. J. B,—You make me laugh—lreland, indeed—the Irish are a little dissatisfied because they have not had justice done them—if that is your only hope, a poor weak stick you have got to rest upon. Queen Victoria has not a more loyal set of subjects than the Irish, and they are as gallant as they are loyal—they will never put up with your insulting a woman —their idolized, their beloved Queen—not they— J. P.—Well, and what will you do now—Oregon is ours and we'll keep it—do your best and do your worst—what's your next move ? J. B.—What's, the next move ?—a pretty fellow you are for a President—you don't know the first then, so I'll tell you—by this time we have got a sufficient force landed to protect our subjects in their rights and privileges and to maintain the authority of the Crown of Great Britain— J. P.—lt's all my eye. I guess— J. B.—l'm not POLKING fun at you— J. P.—You be though. J. B.—l am not. J. P.—Then it's a declaration of war ? J. B.—No it's not. J.P.—Do you mean to do this, and not declare war? J. B.—l tell you it is done already. What necessity to declare war? If no one meddles with us, we shall not med dle with them. We do not claim the sole right to the coun try; we shall not interfere with the rights of others. If we are molested, we shall not ask whether they are Americans, Mexicans, Texians, or any other countrymen—but at them at once. We shall not make it an American question. If you choose to declare war with us, because we go to protect our rights, we cannot help that ; we must make the best of it. J. P.—You don't seem to care much about it. We shall have France with us. _ - J. B.—France? Ah, ah, ah ! J. P.—Yes, France. J. B.—France, indeed, with you. Why your blustering news about not arbitrating on the Oregon question caused a greater panic on the Paris Bourse than it did on the Royal Exchange in London ; a greater depression in the price of the Fret.ch funds took place than did in the English funds. A war between England and America would hurt France as much as it would do England. France with you?—you make me laugh. J. P.—Then you acknowledge awar with us would do you no goof? J. B.—God forbid I should think it would. Let anybody try to turn us away from Oregon at their peril. - J. P.—Us will do the thing, I guess. We'll show our strength. J. B.—l think you ought to say, your weakness. J. P.—Do you mean to insult our stars? J. B.—No, nor do we mean to insult ourselves; and if you turn us away from Oregon, you must conquer the British nation. J. F.-It is all nonsense about our wishing to turn your people away from Oregon, they may stay and trade as long as they like i • we shall not trouble them. J. B.—Well, we shall not interfere' with anybody but our own people ; and those we will protect. If you don't touch us, we shall not annoy you. J. P.—We shan't annoy any of your people in Oregon. Have you not thousands and tens of thousaads of your people in the United States, and do we attempt to annoy them? Not we; but Oregon is ours. J. B.—lf you do not molest us, we shall not be annoyed at your singing out across the water—" Oregon is ours ;" but keep your hands off. J. P.—We won't arbitrate ,—Ore g on is ours, Oregon is ours,—we won't arbitrate. J. B.—No, nor will you fight. P.—Oregon is ours. Ilfranombe, March 6.
