The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack ac five o'clock. Various petitions having been presented, The Earl ST. GERMANS moved the third reading of th Irish Pacification Bill. Several verbal amendments were proposed and agreed tu. and after a desultory conversation, the Bill, as amended, wa read a third time and passed. Their Lordships then adjourned. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bill: were read a second time and ordeie. to be committed. Lord HENRY BEN - 111110i took the oaths and his seatVo firth Nottingham. Several railway Bills were read a third time and passed The Grand Trunk, or Stafford and Peterborough Railiva Bill was read a sesond Mme, after a division, by a majorit of 20. I Lord J. Ressm,i. gave notice of his intention on ThUrs day, the 26th of ILarch, to move that the House on that dad do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House fortin purpose of considering the state of Ireland. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from an Hon Illember, said it was impossible for him to say on what day he should bring forward the reduction of the sugar duties. It was his intention, however, to do so as won as the con importation measure was disposed of. In answer to a question from Mr. O'CoNlytt.l., Sir R. PEU mid it was the intention of the Government, immediately um. the Irish Protection of Life and Property Bill coming into al, ifolisc, to more that it be printed, and taken into con- Sideration on an early day. The South Sea Company Bill was read a third time are passed, on the motion of the CHAIiCELLOII of the EXCHEQUER Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to eon fb:n Wary provision for persons all'ected with fever in Ireland. Mr.lVAK.nnvthought the best course to stop the disease that was now raging in Ireland was to provide the people withfood After some observations from Mr. COLQUIIOUN, Captain OSBORNE, Lord G. BENTINCK, Mr. HUMP, Mr. O'CONNW. Sir J. GRAHAM said that nothing had been lost sight of b.) the government to alleviate, as far as possible, the distress Anti misery that was existing in Ireland. Mr. S, O'BRIEN believed if the English proprietors of Ire bad were compelled to do their duty, the people of Irclan, would be in a much better condition than they were at pre sent, and would obt be under the necessity of calling upon British generosity. After,some further discussion, leave was given to bring in. the Bill. Mr. GREENE then brought up the report on the custom , and corn importation measure ; and on the question that th, first resolution with respect to silk be read a second time, Mr. It. SPOONER moved that it be read a second time tha , day six months, believing that, if carried, it would have thf effect of paralysing native industry. The lion. Gentleman attributed the vrhole of the evils under which the countr) he was at present labouring to the Bill of 1819, enforcing t resumption of cash payments. Mr. NEWDEGATE seconded the motion. Sir G. CLERK seconded the resolution. and, after a short discussion, the amendment was withdrawn. Upon the question that a reduction should take place in. the duty on foreign butter, some considerable discussii.on ensued,,and, upon a division, the original resolution was c ar ried by a majority of 102. Upon the question for the reduction of the duty on hosiery, a division took place, when there appeared a majority for the reduction, of 88. The further consideration of the report was, after a short discussion, postponed till Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the Muse adjourned till Monday. A Parliamentary return, which has just appeared, fur-: nishes some curious, we may almost say startling, informa tion about these terra incognita, the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is a return of ♦arious particulars relative to certain professors in the two Universities, and, amon g other particulars, of the number of pupils attending their lec tures. The professors included in the return are the Regius Professors of Divinity, Physic, Civil Law, Greek and Hebrew, the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, and the Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic in both Universities, the Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology and Ecclesi astical History in Oxford, and certain professors, to whom an annual stipend is voted by Parliament, and who, we gather from the return itself, are paid by Parliament, as follows : OXIO R D. Modern History, Dr. Cramer Geology, Dr. 8uck1and............ , lOO Mineralogy, Dr. Buckland Chemistry, Dr. Daubeny...... lOO Botany, Dr. Daubeny Experimental Philosophy, Ur. Walker .lOO CAMBRIDGE. History, Mr. Smyth 330 Anatomy, Dr. Clark ......... • lOO • Chemistry, Mr. Cumming ... lOO Botany, Mr. Henslow Natural Philosophy, Mr. Willis lOO Mineralogy, Mr. Miller lOO The sums voted by Parliament are certainly not large, but the question is, whether for the good which these professors seem to do they are not paid dear at these small salaries; or, probably, the inefficiency of the professorships:is to be traced to the smallness of the emoluments ; and if so, we should by all means say, pay the professors better, and make client more efficient. Arany rate, .the present state of things is„ indefensible. Either give •no money, .or give enough to. do good. The celebrated Dr. BUCKLAND bolds the two professor ships of geology and mineralogy in Oxford; And how many pupils' does the reader think that this philosopher of quropean reputation has.had in both classes during the last fouryears? 107, says the return. That is, less than an average of ten for each class in the year ! Dr. DAUBENT'S average annual number for his botany class is six, and for chemistry eleven! The Professor of Modern History averages twenty four; while the Professor of Experimental Philosophy beats all his colleagues, having had, in 1842, seventy-five pupils; in 1843, ninety-one; in 1844, sixty-two_; and in 1845, eighty five. But there may be, and probably is, some special reason for these larger numbers, as we tee by the returns that a considerable proportion comes_ each year from one college (Christ Church), where probably some regulation exists for enforcing attendance. _ _ In Cambridge things are no better than in Oxford. The Prefessor'of Anatomy had only six pupils last year, and the Professor of Chemistry only ten : the average number of pupils with the Profesior of Botany is pnly twenty; the Pro fessor of Natural Philosephy has only ten to fiften pupils a year the Professor of Mineralogy cannot state the number, not, however, we may safely conclude, because they are too numerous to count; and the Professor of Modern History has ;,iven no lectures at all for the last four or five years, " not ;Ally (we quote froM a letter written by the professor, -.%.11ich is quite a curiosity in its way), because I had !become deaf and old, but because I found that I had lost my audience, and that- if my lectures' were to lave any chance of doing good they. must be published, which was accordingly done, precisely. as I had ~een accustomed to_ deliver them." To the loss of his uni ,Tersity audience, then, the public is indebted for Professor SMYTH'S worlis on " Modern History," and the " French Revolution." But why did he lose his university audience? " The number of pupils," he says, " that used to attend .sere, for some years, from 70 to 90 ; but when the examina ion, called the Little-go,' was instituted, I lost a consider ble part, of my audience, one-fourth at least.. My audience .fterwards dwindled down to about la or 20." We believe hat with most professors, as with Professor S.:Amu, recent changes in the educational system at the Universities, which lave the effect of absorbing more and more of the time of 'he young men in classical and mathematical studies, have een the cause why their lecture-rooms have been emptied. Ills is the explanation given by Mr. LYALL in his strictures ,a the Eughsh University system, in his work on America. Jut what can justify to foreigners, whatever there may be o explain, the desert state of lecture-rooms presided over )3 , such men as Professor Sstrrn and Professor BUCKLAND? Nothing can be more lamentable than the frequent occa ,ions in which, of late years, public attention has been drawn :o the serious delinquencies—Ao use the mildest term—of which, in our courts of law, the clergy of the Established Church, whom, from their position, we are taught to regard ts the appointed instructors in both moral and religious edu cation, have been found guilty. Our columns of Friday contained the:report of the second day's trial, of an, action for lamages, in which a reverend gentleman, a doctor of di vinity, an incumbent, having the cure of souls, and the .ecipient of a large income, figured as the ,defendant, and in vhich the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. We are not tbout to descant upon the evidence upon which this verdict was obtained ; suffice it to say, that a special jury, composed ,f men of property, education, and intelligence, whose sym ,)athies, if they could at all be supposed to sway :their judg nent, would be far more likely to be entertained on behalf X the reverend defendant, a gentleman in, their own rank ,f life, and moving in their own circle, than of . his accuser, :rho had been his menial, found the charge to be true, dthough this divine enjoyed all the advantages which wealth can afford, especially in securing for him the services of the Attorney-General, who has made , himself so listinguished an advocate in cases of this peculiar description. ['hue, then, has another instance been added to the black :atalogue. of clerical offences. Are these shocking errors raceable in any degree to the loose manner in which the Universities educate, and the hierarchy suffer, candidates for aoly orders to be inducted into the Establishment ? How iotorionsly loose is the life too generally led by young nen at Oxford or Cambridge; and where is the restraint ipon the destined and youthful recipients of clerical prefer nent from following in the crowd of his dissolute com anions ? Once formally through his degree and the subse lucid nominal examination of the bishop, he immediately tcquires, without test, let, or impediment, the full enjoyment ,f his family patronage in the Church, the emolument of .yhich he has been taught to regard, from his earliest years, ►s being as much his own as that of the ancestral domain is ,f his elder brother. How different is the probationary .;ourse with the ministers of other persuasions. The evidence )f their fitness for the sacred office must be well established previous to their entrance upon it by a long course of 1 arduous study, supported by a life of irreproachable purity. Surely the time has come when sonic better means should be adopted by those seats of learning for grappling with the evils )3, , which the public mind is, as it were, gangrened and .ehich spring, too, from the very sources which are regarded, Ind which they boast, to be within their own special juris liction. For years have the Dissenters claimed the right of admission into the Universities, which bigotry and spiritual , lonopoly have, as yet, unfortunately too successfully resisted. his narrow-mindedness is reaping the penalty of its own -elfishness, for we are constantly witnessing the unhappy ruits of the education pursued within the college walls; ,vherea., if the doors of the national :academies had ,een long ago liberally thrown open, as they ought to have , ,een, to the disciples of every creed, bigotry and superstition I ,vould have soon become shrouded under the auspices of that nlightenment which is the sure result of permitting all !lasses to mingle together, and generously to com • dete for the honours of the state as well clerical as laical. No doubt much has of late years been done by the Legisla nre towards eradicating in part, and more in amending, nany of the administrative evils of the established religion, gut it is greatly to be regretted that so little has been !fleeted towards improving the constituted ecclesiastical ribunals for visiting in a more efficacious manner the recog tised functionaries of religion with the severest penalties ellen they have been adjudged guilty of such atrocious .barges as have, unfortunately, within the last few years:been ,o frequently brought against them. To the exemplary nanner in which the ministers of the various classes to which ye have referred have discharged their solemn vocations, .re we indebted that the State religion has been compelled to elopt even such partial and scanty reforms as those to which Ne have alluded, and. we do sincerely hope that the example e ls. ! a tt. i e, :t e will k. soon curniShed to us by the Scotch Church, in the investigating, cud (if guilty) punishing such ministers of religion as uteri elr a e teitrshig. b h o o g to the gratification of their lustful pro- Ibne that followed, Church,and its eb s n p u i l r d i t incorporatedenrnr,;ai nt bin e nade against one of its pastors, it is in the first instance ad udicated on by the Presbytery, from thence an appeal lies to the Synod, and thence to the General Assembly, the -ourt of final resort, whos e d ec i s i on i s binding and con .:lusive. To a tribunal so constit u t e d t h ere can be no :Me objection ; every one must be satisfied of the im p delay with which its judgment is arrived a t. The wise Aovision of our Brittish constitutional law, that every con ested fact in which the life, the property, the reputation of Lny man is involved, shall be left to the decision of his peers, 3 there acted up to, and the public, satisfied that strict jus ice is done, at once acquiesce, without cavil or complaint, in the ultimate decision. Such, however, cannot be the case , when the entire matter is to be investigated before a single aulge, whose prejudices and feelings may possibly lead him o take too lenient a view of the citcumstancas, and it is to the comparative impunity with which ,so many grave of- lenders against all that is sacred, against a ma ll that they have so solemnly undertaken to fulfil, and by pre cept and example to inculcate, have been suffered to escape, that the confidence of the public mind his been altogether Shaken in the decisions of the clerical courts of judicature. The force of public opinion is ever the herald to salutary re formation ; and it is the duty of the journalist to give this opinion a faithful embodiment; and, certain that we are only correctly pourtraying the public feeling when we urge the necessity of stringent and immediate measures for the cor.- struction of a proper tribunal for the investigation of these serious charges,, and the purification of the altars of religion from such polluted ezerescences—we shall not cease to urge the adoption of a different system from that which now pre vails, to the end that, on the one hand, the disgust engen dered by these repeated exhibitions of clerical demoralistion may be removed ; and, on the other, that by a salutary change, the approbation of every well-regtiated member of society may be secured. , Destitution, disease, ane want of employment, are 'spread ing with the most alarming rapidity throughout Ireland. Even the veriest sceptics of the misery genisinating among the populace of that doomed country find it no longer possible to hesitate in acknowledging the present emergency: Sir D PEEL, in his character of Prime Minister, has demanded in - the most solemn language the assistance of Parliament for those millions of starving Irish. Mr. O'CorusEra has pronounced the condition of his fellow-countrymen as requiring one immediate help from Government, if the legisla tors would comply with their responsibilities as guardians 01 the multitude, or, in fact, if they would fulfil the most be nign precept , of Christianity by feeding the htingry. Pro fessors KANE and PLAYFAIR have given us the detaile6 statistics of that deficiency in vegetable food, which is now tending to debilitate, if not to exterminate, a fearful portion of the population of Ireland. The Legislature also has acteda be coming and merciful part on this occasion ; the ordinary routine of Parliamentary business has been internipted to afford an op portunity for expediting certain measures likely to entai much benefit upon the sister island. A preference has beet, given to questions hinging upon Irish Matters. Indio: corn to a considerable .amount has been purchased with our national funds, and shipped for the principal ports of Ireland, as much to preserve the scanty crop remaining of sound potatoesto.he employed as seed for the next harvest, as for the purpose of placing wholesome provisions at a moderate charge within the reach of the sufferers. Various modes have been 'devised and mooted, both within and with out St. Stephen's, by Which remedies might be appliee to an extensive - and importunate and spreading evil. Some of these devices have been adopted. But while arrangements are thus making tardily and with hesi tation, the penury . and helplessness of those four or five millions of human beings are daily becOming more and mein dire, and hopeless, and awful. Each packet is the bearer of still more calamitOus intelligence, the harbinger of yet darker days. r Starvation in some districts is not only threatening—it, has already commenced: Agents hav, been dispatched to thosescenes of wanti and idle ness ; their communications in return have more ,that corroborated all_ the previous rumours of wretchedness Fever and dysentery—originating in tainted roots, or in 4. total absenee of nourishMent—are prevalent to no unim portant extent in several of the towns and villages of Clare. While the hovels, which in moments even of plenty are always choked up with filth enough to generate a mallaria, are now abandoned to a yet greater state of dilapidation ; the EW►,. and muscles of their inmates rendering . them by emaciation but little inclined to exertion. 'Nor are these terrible griever:- cies confined to the inner and mere_ rustic .parishes; the dwellers on the sea-shore are beginning to, experience all the fiercest pangs of privation. So extreme is their indigence—' so hopeless their future—that not merely have the poor fishers. men been compelled to part .with their little scraps of house hold furniture (such as beds) and their wearing apparel, it order to appease for a time the hunger of their families,, but they, have . been driven to that final stress . . of all, the necessity of raising a trifle of money upon their . nets. 13) these circumstances all opportunity Of redeeming their po sition is lest for ever, unless some charitable interference ma's' enable them to struggle again in their own calling for theb livelihood. Seventy-five of these. fishing-nets have beer, staked away for food in the above manner on the south-west coast alone ; and so urgent were the cir cumstances under whiCh the hargain was struck, that the pawnbroker of Kilrush declares his conviction that it the unfortunate men could possibly have conveyed the', boats to his warehouse, they would have resigned those instru ments of their industry , into his possession for the purpose o buying meal. That these significant occurrences may no pass without the observation of Government, a petition fron the fishermen of Clare has, it appears, been drawn up, inn ploring the Members of the Lower House to take the pennr, 1 o the petitioners into consideration. And fain are we to believe that that prayer will not remain long un answered.. The dykes are breaking down; if they b , not speedily repaired, Ireland will be inundated with woe. Believing, however, as we do, in the promptitude and justice of Parliament, we cannot for a moment suppo.se that that au gust body will remain,impervious to the • lamentatiens of the famishing. Let our legislators remember, however, that the scarcity among the Irish is gradually dwindling down to nothing: and that, after the warnings ,and supplication: which they .have . already received, they will b, answeralle before Hearen for one singie victint st arration ! In addition to the Government pro posal, there is the suggestion of the Premier, that private charity should co-operate with the Legitlature finereg sus tenance and employment for the poverty-stricken Irish. Th!s suggestion appears to have been treated slightly, or to have been altogether contemned ; bat for ourselves, we conceive it to be imperative upon every individnal who is competent, to join in some,grand, national contribution for affording succour for the famished crowds in Ireland. A mere mite from each would accumulate into a vast boot. for those destitute classes of our countrymen. By deprivint ourselves of not one single comfort we might ward off death from the unfOrtunate„ An .omniscient Dvanr has though' proper to visit Ireland with one of his severest scourges: i is the very moment, therefore, when England should follow one amongst the noblest precepts inculcated by that DEITY. We feel assured that this recommendation frOm tbe bps 01 the Prime Minister is not merely feasible, but that it is ab solutely requisite. Indeed it is but reasonable, while coer cion is , proposed for the suppression of Melly Maguireism. of the Rockite factions, the Whiteboy conspiracies, and those hideous agrarian assassinations which are unhappily se prevalent in our sister country ;—it is but reasonable, we say, that this coercive system (abstractly so obnoxious to the Irish tenantry, should be reconciled, in some measure, to the populace, by simultaneous efforts on the part of Government and of the British public, to employ the unemployed and t(' feed the foodless. A community of action such as this woulc be conducive to the welfare of the peasantry, while it walk enforce their reverence for - and obedience to the majesty of the temporary law. As 'a co=operative MeaSure, nothing, however, would be more likely to ensure this happy consum mation than a strenuous movement on the part of the Irish landlorda—an interference on behalf of the labouring classes more, natural than any interference of Government, of of the English public, and one more certain of ensuring the tranquillity and of compensating for the bygone miseries o that luckless multitude. It was from a conviction of tbi: fact that Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN endeavoured to iris press the necessity upon the .representatives and the Mi nistry; it was from a conviction of this fact that Sir 'PEEL immediately afterwards declared that "sinless the Irish. proprietors can be induced to come forward and co-oPerate with the. Government, all that can be done will be almost entirely useless." Surrounded, hoWever, by those gloom; signs of hesitation, and increased poverty, and contagiom maladies, let Ireland still remain patient and hopeful ; her cup of sorrow is coming to the dregs ; a happier epoch is approaching. In the midst of such scenes the very ingratitude of Mr. S. O'Barxx will pass by unheeded, and the ill-timed and in jurious remarks, which he made last evening, be drowned amidst the cries of starvation from his countrymen, • We observe that Mr. PARKER, the Member for Sheffield has given notice of a motion on the subject of railway legis lation, which wears much more of a practical appearance than the proposed motion of Mr. MORRISON. Mr. PAnxim's motion is for a Select Committee, " to consider whether pre cautions cannot be devised by which the effects of the rail way legislation, now pending, on the labour and monei markets of the country, may be provided against." This is hitting the right nail on the head. Mr. PARKER'S motion is fixed for Wednesday next. Before then weshall return to the subject. Mr. Monnisox has fixed his motion for Thursday next; but Mr. PARKER'S motion, on Wednesday, will pro bably lead to a debate that will bring out the views of both Hon. Members, and render Mr Momusotes motion unnecessary. We have received Madrid journals of the 6th,• but they bring no news. The Funds on that day were rather more firm: the Three per Cents. closed at 294 for the 30th inst. Nothing was done in the Five per Cents. The Paris papers in general regard the Polish insurrection as at an end, though some of more sanguine temperament still entertain lingering hopes that in the distant provinces the struggle may be carried on with some chance of success, That, however, is neither the common ,belief, nor even the wish of the best friends of Poland, and all that can be dont now, is to raise funds with a view to render Some relief to the devoted victims of this ill-judged attempt. All classes in France have evinced their sympathy for Poland. Even the clergy have come forward and mingled their prayers with the sympathetic wishes of their countrymen for the restoration of this afflicted people. The Bishop of PUY has addressed the following appeal to the inhabitants of his diocese :—" Beloved diocesans, we will respond to the wishes of those brethren who by their impetuous valour and the brilliant qualities of their hearts have' desired to be called the French of the North. Never, perhaps, was Polani snore worthy of the sympathies of all Catholic hearts. Be hold her in her hale, old age bringing forth martyrs, whose heroism is no wise inferior to that of the first champions of our faith. Poland, unhappy and beloved sister, you will not have vainly placed your hopes in the Galilean Church ; we will all minister relief to your sufferings. The pentiffs, clergy men, and faithful unite their voices and hearts to implore peace and mercy in your behalf. Our prayer Will ascend to Heaven with the still smoking gore of your martyrs, and the blood of martyrs, mingled with the prayers of the saints, ever falls as a shower of blessings oat the land from which it rose. We 'already descry, at no remote' distance,' the dawn of less'in auspicious days, which the LORD reserves for that noble land. The entire of &trope is attentive to the groans escap ing from the boscms of your children on the icy shores of Siberia. Everywhere generous voices are raised to demand your deliverance, and everywhere those voices are rapturously ',ailed by the sympathising nations." Not fewer than 149 Members of the Chamber of Deputies have subscribed sums or the relief of the insurgents. Most of the public schools m.nd the Parisian bar also lave subscribed; The sums, it 's true, are small, but France is not a wealthy country, Ind the universal feeling of sympathy only shows what the people would do if they had the means. the Polytechnic School has subscribed 50/.; the Normal ichool, 36/. ; the Central School of Arts and Sciences, 16/. ; Ind the Parisian bar, 38/. The Government are anxious to :epress any popular demonstration which may give offence o Russia or other powers; but, as far as can be judged from ~he official organs, even the' Ministers feel great sympathy n the cause. Some nights since police agents were eta ioned in the pit of the Opera to prevent any outbreak of popular feeling, and, according to the National, the ballet of Diable a Qualm was prohibited on Wednesday night, ,ecause, the scene being laid in Poland, some noisy demonstration was likely to be made. The same jour lel relates the following occurrence :—"As the KING to-day, it three o'clock, was driving in his carriage across the Place de la Concorde, on his way to Neuilly, a citizen took off his hat, and saluted his MAsYsTv with the cry of Vive la Pologne !"fhis was immediately repeated by some five- Ind-tu enty persons, and it was sufficiently loud, notwith standing the noise of the carriage and the galloping of the ')orses, to reach the ears of the KING, who, on hearing it, hrew himself back in his carriage." We have no later mews from Cracow in these papers, but the following details 4* what occurred •in the surrender of that town will be read with interest. They appear in the Journal des _Debate : " The German papers and private letters we have to-day received rem the frontier of Silesia confirm the entry - of the troops of these . ,rotecting powers on the Republic's territory, and the occupation of , he city of Cracow. The intention of the inhabitants does not appear o have been to offer any resistance whatever to the combined threes the three powers.. As early as the lot of March, two days after 'he re-capture of Podgorze by General Collin's troops, they had re .iioved the national red and white flag from the residence of the Provisional Government, and substituted the white flag. Flags of 'ruco, borne by the most notable inhabitant's of Cracow, repaired' to leneral Collin's head-quarters, in order to render the capitulation the city. The Austrian General, before- all, demanded - lostages, the surrender of arms, and unconditional sub .nission. Whilst these conferences were proceeding, the Russian coro war advancing by the Olkusz high road. moving owards the north-east of the city, the part that can be least de ended. The moment , General Collin heard of this movement, he :rdered two battalions to cross the bridge and enter Cracow, which .hey entered at the lame time as the Russians. What the fate of he Inhabitants will , be who have taken part in the insurrection is sot yet known. It is-to be feared that the instructions issued-to the lenerals commanding the troops of .occupation order them forthwith .0 establish councils of war, and proceed with the utmost. rigour. The .noat compromised insurgents had left the city of Cracow almost hu neeliately after General Collins entry into Podgorze, and had striven o cross the Vistula ; but, the opposite bank was already occupied by he Austrian troops, come to support General* Collin. They therefore 'epaired, on the 2d. of March, to Neu-Berum, en the Silesian frontier, ,here the Pruselarriroops were. The three principal leaders, Colonels, thorowski, Wodzielsi, and Bninski, after an interval with General de Felden, laid down tit& arms on the sth March, and surrendered at liscretion. The insurgents delivered up to the Prussian troops alto tether 200 horses,' fOO scythes, but not a flre-arm. Tie Prussian corps crossed the sante day the republic's territory, and was to have 'trrived at Cracow. on the Ith. 'We yesterday reckoned the force of he Prussian corps at 3,000 men. Having received large reinforce .nents from Breslau - it must amount to 7,000 men. The Russian •orps. is 'of five thousand; as well a. 4 the - Austrian corps, which was ,partly to remain at Podgorze, facing Cracow. General ;ollin, since he left Cracow, until his return to that place,, iris received but two battalions of re inforcements. Thanks to the itrategic line of railroad s , w hi c h now e xtends from k:oliemia, Austria '..,ouldhave easily assembled from 20,000 to 30,000 men in three days , nn the Vistula. It is supposed that the reinforcements sent to Ge ; aeral Collin have been sent to maintain order and tranquillity in the :circles wherein the insurgents have striven to the insturection." At Dresden the fate of the unfortunate Poles haS excited .he deepeit sympathy • and in the Second Cnamber, on the • 4th instant, a strong d emons t ra ti on was made in their favour. M. DE GABELENTZ, in pursuance of a notice given the pre ceding day, asked the Ministry whether it was true that all Poi* without excepting even those who had long been set led in Saxony, had been ordered to leave the kingdom, and if this were so, to explain the motives for such an extreme Measure, in order to satisfy those who feared that the sacred rights .of hospitality were 'not in any -degree violated by Saxony, which country had ever made it a point of honour to observe them most religiously. The Minister of State, R. DE FULKENSTEIN, declared that he was the more ,ready give the explanation demanded, as the measure had been unjustly condemned. It was, he said, general, but was r.sken in such a manner as. to leave those affected by it sufficient time to make every requisite preparation for de parture and arrangement. for the' future. The measure, hough general, did not exclude exceptions, and the number if Poles in Saxony wholit it. could be applied to was only sixteen, but he could not make known in a public sitting .he motives which had induced the Government to adopt it. AI. Di GABELENTZ" then made a motion, that the Chamber should insert in its minutes that it was confident that the Ministry would modify the measure taken with regard to the Poles in 'such 'manner, that those who were Able to prove they bad a legal domiCile 'in Saxony should continue to reside in the kingdom. Upon the motion of M. DE LESCHAU, the Chamber went into secret - committee. This secret sitting lasted two hours, at the end of which the Chamber resumed its public sitting, and after a further 'debate, the motion of 31. DE GABELENTZ was carried unani mously. " • We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the papers : The, St. Peter/311=W journals, of the 25th ult., publish the reports 5f General Prince Andronikoff, Commander-in.Chlef. of Southern •!Isighestan According to these reports, part of .the Caucasus may Le regarded as entirely pacified. Generals Niesteroff and Freitag Nave made, in the forest of Sheki, openings like those effected in the wood of Goilo in - December last. The Russian detachments. have iiad some skirmishes with the Schetchenes, which latter wore worsted, and their country, one of the most difficult in the Caucasus, Is thereby opened to the. Russian armies. On the right wing of the line of the Caucasus, the warlike tribe of • the Ahadseks, which .mounts to about 100,000, has made its submission to.Russin. A letter from Stutgard, of the 2d inst.. says :—" Yesterday the municipal council, with M, Gutbrod, the mayor, at their head, pro ceeded to congratulate the King on the approaching marriage.of the {'ranee, his son, with the daughter of the Emperor of Russia, the Princes 3 Olga. After having thanked the deputation for their Criendly sentiments, the King said: ' I take advantage of this oppor-. unity, gentlemen, to tranquillise certain' persons not only in our' •onntry, but throughout the whole of Germany, who have seen in. this circumstance cause of alarm for the independence of our future. ,policy. The union which my beloved son is about to contract is ..ntirely unconnected with political 'considerations ; and you may :•ost satisfied that as long as I live I shall follow the exclusive system of German interests, which is that of out country. I feel :.:orivinced that my son, when called on to govern, will act as I do.' " A letter from Posen, of the sth inst., states that about 20 ale clonal arrests had been Just effected there f'amongst them were 'some ecclesiastics. The Catholic Gymnasium and Ecelestaitical School have been tlosed, . . The National states that M. Guizot, in . his anxiety to prevent the Deputies fiom subscribing in favour of the Poles, said—" EVery new adhesion 'on your part will be resPoLided to by the decapitation of a Polish insurgent:" The French Funds improved ;considerably on Thursday.

' I if A special meeting of the shareholders in the above l t was held this day, at the Nine Elms station, Vauxhall, or the purpose of giving their sanction to several Bills or branch lines to be made from this line. Mr. Chaplin took the chair at twelve o'clock. The SECRETARY then informed the shareholders that t l he present meeting was merely a formal one, to get the assent of the shareholders to such Bills as should be laid before them. The sanction of a large body of , the shareholders had been substantielly obtained at a previous meeting, and the present formal assent was required by the standing ordcrs of the House of Commons.

BOW-STREET. n -(THIS DAY.) A young man applied to Mr. Jardine for advice under these circumstances. He had been apprenticed to a printer for some time, and hati been working lately for another printer, tO-whorn be had not been regularly " turned over," but who had possession of his indentures. He wanted to leave this person, , and had frequently demanded his inden .tures, but his employer refused to give them up. Mr. JARDINE said that the transfer of an apprentice, ex cept by the ordinary mode of .turning over, was not legal, and the applicant was not bound by it. He could leave his present employer any time he liked, and his indentures would not bind him to serve any master but the one he had covenanted with. _ _ The applicant asked if his original master could obtain the indentures from the person . who now held them ? Mr. JARDINE saidthat he could if he liked. NAVAL I.NTELIAGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.— The Comet steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Pretyman, and the Fanny yacht, Master• Commander Aylen, were docked yesterday to complete their refit. The Fairy, _royal yacht, Master-Commander Roberts, is alongside the jetty, taking in provisions prior to going to the river to refit at Messrs. Penn's. An - accident which might have had a most unfortunate termination, - occurred on-board this vessel, just as her Majesty was disembarking alongside the jetty. One of the boats, with a man in it, was being lowered 'by order of Commander Crispin, of the Victoria and Albert, when the foremost fall of the boat was let go, and the boat fell upon the water, throwing out the man, who was instantly immersed, but who was quickly rescued from his perilous situation by the coast guard, who picked him up ; he consequently only experienced a drenching and a fright. This is the result of " too many cooks," &c. If the Fairy had been left in the hands of her rightful commander, such conduct would 'not have been exhibitsd. ALTERATIONS IN TILE ROYAL NAVAL UNIFORMS.—The alterations in the royal naval uniforms have been decided on, and her- Majesty, on having them submitted to her by the Admiralty, 'has been pleased to signify her approval of the same. They will be promulgated in a few days, and among them, we have reason to believe, will be the fol lowing:--Admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants, masters, mates, and second masters will have devices of silver embroidery, whilst the medical officers and secreta ries will have gold embroidered devices. Full admirals, it is said, will have for devices on their epaulettes a sword and baton, and three stars; vice -admirals, the same, with two stars ; and rear-admirals, the same, with only one star. The senior post captains are to have a star On their epau lettes; captains of less than three years' standing the star, crown,' and anchor; commanders, the crown and anchor; lieutenants, the anchor; master with two epaulettes, the de- Yice of crossed anchors; mates, one epaulette, with the device. of an anchor wrought on it ; second masters, one epalette with the device of crossed anchors. The head of ttie medical department, epaulettes with the device of a grown worked iii gold. Inspectors and deputy medical in spectors, and admirals' secretaries, two epaulettes with the device of-a crown wrought in gold, the bullion to distinguish tie grades. Surgeons and pursers, two plain epaulettes qach ; and assistant surgeons, one plain epaulette. The great spat be of uniform shape ; straps with the devices for each rank worked on the shoulder, denoting the grade. The cap will have, in addition to the goldband, a crown over it. These, -it is understood in well-informed circles, are to be as nearly as possible the alterations in the naval uniform, but the different classes of officers will be more plainly denoted by the positions of the buttons on the coats. I Tar: BELLEaornoss.—The Bellerophon took in her pow tier at 'Spit head on Thursday morning, the hoy having been towed' - out by the Rocket. The Rodney's crew were em ployed on Thursday and Friday in putting everything " ship ahape"--on board their new ship, but orders arrived yesterday for the Bellerophon to go into harbour; consequently the tc)coder was again got out, and at noon she was towed in y . the Echo: As she passed the platform, where a number let persons; had congregated, she was much admired for her orderly appearance—masts standing well, ropes all taut, and altogether looking as though she had been e rn commis bion twelve months. She is to dismantle, and return her stores and provisions, which work will, it is said, be com menced to-day, arid report says that the ship's company of Pre Rodney will receive the thanks of the Admiralty, and fourteen days' pay, and richly- dotthey deserve it. In our re ;port on Wednesday, on the fitting out of this ship, we have 'to regret that -we omitted to pay the tribute due to the officers and men of Portsmouth Dockyard, to whom the ex pedition of her fit out is in a great' measure owing, and who •so ably seconded the exertions made by the Rodney's crew. The yard men had 'the lower rigging to fit and get ready to !go over the mast-heads, to rig the lower yards before they twere crossed, and to gammon the bowsprit. The expedi , tious way in which all the ship's furniture and stores were issued and brought down to the ship gave iufinite satisfac tion sto the executives of the Rodney, everything was so well arranged that not a moment's delay occurred ; this may be entirely attributed- to the good management and method pursued throughout by Mr. Purdoe and Mr. Brown, the active and intelligent masters attendant-at the dockyard. In the fitting out the Bellerophon we observed that the most tedious operation was the gamnioning and the clothing of the bowsprit; it threw all the other part of the rigging back : in consequence of the seamen in clothing the bow sprit having to stand on slung stages, not many hands can be 'placed on this work_ We see no good reason why every " advanced ship" that has her bowsprit in should not have it gammoned. The gammoning is chain, which would not much deteriorate by lying up exposed to weather; it might, however, be- easily protected from wet. The botsstays and collars should, we think,-always be kept ready fur going on, which would much expedite the rigging of the advanced chips when brought forward at short notice. PLYMOUTH, Marten 12.—Her Majesty's ship Calcutta, 84, was this morning towed down the harbour from Hamoaze by the Confiance and another steatn-tug,just arrived from Ports mouth. At two o'clock P.M. she came to anchor in Plymouth Sotind, and, immediately the steamers left her, saluted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir John .West. -The Calcutta was on Saturday last, the 7th instant, quietly lying at her moorings in Hamoaze, with the other ships in ordinary. On Monday, the 9th, Captain N. Lockyer, of the Albion, received orders from the Admiralty to fit her out with all expedition. At that time she had her three lower masts and bowsprit in, and water-tanks on board; by the' evening her lower yards were hoisted. e On Tuesday morning, her top-gallant masts were up,- and yards across; in the afternoon she took in her cables and dockyard stores, guns, victualling stores, and water. This (Thursday) morning her studdingsail gear was rove, and she is now ready for sea. The discipline and alacrity of the officers and crew of the Albion has, in the fitting of the Calcutta, been -exemplified in a manner most creditable to themselves and highly gra-; tifying to their commander, Captain Lockyer. During the progress of the work the men observed the must quiet atten tion to their duties; they laboured two hours extra daily, and have taken their dinners on board. It is said that a bet of 200!. has been made dependent on the superior expedition used in fitting the Bellerophon 'at Portsmouth, or the Cal cutta at Plymouth. SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—The ordnance works going on here are progressing favourably: The contract is in the hands • of active and 7 enteeprising practical men, whose object, from all we can see and-learn, is tor execute the work well, if not with dispatch. The new battery opposite the ;dockyard-gate has its platform levelled, the north bank of the ditch to protect it on the sea view is well-nigh completed, and the brick mus ketry wall to flank it on the west; and connect it with the old fortificatione at Garrison-point, is Lewin the course of erection. Another battery to 'the eastward, to which this 'is . to be con• nected by another musketry-wall, has just been commenced ; .will be continued into the bastions extending from the Thames to the Medway. - Profiles have recently been set up on the Mile-town side of these fortifications for a line of bastions to protect the drawbridge, by means of which alone will there be communication by land either with Blue-town or the dockyard, for when all is finished they will be com pletely insulated. Three pattern traversing-platforms with their gun-carrieges mounted, have recently arrived from Woolwich, and workmen are now proceeding -to fit the masonry, at the several places marked for guns on the old works at Garrison-point, to receive them. The platforms are 16' feet in length by 4i feet in breadth, and, with the gun-carriages mounted, from 6to 8 feet in height. They are composed of massive beams of fir strongly jointed; those for the 56- pounder guns are of-African oak. Forward they will be connected by an iron pivot fixed in the ground close to the parapet, while aft they will traverse the masonry grooved to receive their wheels in a semicircle. The guns will - be fired over the parapet, and can thus be pointed in an y direction. They will recoil on the platform on which they, are fitted, arid it has' been proved will not in th e l eas t dis turb the small pivot to which Use massive platforms are secured. They have been well denominated " a one-gun battery," since one gun thus. mounted forms a battery in itself. , Woot,wicx, MAncli 13.—The war schooner Adder, Lieu tenant Knollaert commander, belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, left Flushing on the Gth inst., and, after touching at Sheerness and Chatham to afford the offi cers on board an -opportunity of visiting these dockyards. came up the river yesterday to Woolwich, and now lies at moorings off the dockyard. At half-past ten o'clock this morning nine officers landed from the Adder, and were con ducted over the dockyard by Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C.B. and K.C.H., and Commander Smith. Oh en tering the factory they appeared surprised to witness the extent of the building and the powerful nature and beautiful workmanship of the machinery performing its various duties. On leaving the foundry they were conducted to the Royal Albert first-class ship-of-war, of 120 guns, building frcra a design by Mr. Lang, and on entering and descending to the bottom of that splendid vessel, appeared astonished at her great magnitude, and the height of the frame timbers. The Dutch officers remained a considerable time in the interior of the vessel, walking from end to end, and ad miring the strong and massive timbers, and the substantial manner in which they are joined to each other. They then proceeded to the Terrible war steamer, and were conducted over that vessel by Captain Ramsay, her commander. The power of her guns and the magnitude of the machinery on board excited their admiration, and they expressed them selves greatly pleased with all they witnessed in this fine vessel. They also visited the mast-house, the new docks, and saw- mill, and the blacksmiths' shop. The crew of the Swallow steam vessel, Master Commander Sherlock, will be paid off on Tuesday next, and, with her officers, be transferred to the Violet steam-vessel, and pro ceed to Dover to resume their duties at the packet station. The Adventure transport-ship arrived at Woolwich on Wednesday, and will leave for Portsmouth to-morrow. - The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jen kins, was tried down the river yesterday, and will leave to morrow. Letters have been received from the Lizard steam-vessel. sister to the Myrmidon, at present on her passage to South America. They are dated St. Jago, Cape de Verde Islands, Feb. 1, 1846, where she arrived in 24 days from England, having experienced very heavy gales for about a week before she arrived at Madeira. The steaming qualities of the ves sel are described as being very good, and she is much ad mired by nautical men. The engines work remarkably well, and one float at the extremity instead of two reefed was founCi to be best. The Lizard has been found an excellent sea-boat, as she ran within 250 miles of Madeira in five days and then had to put her fires out, and yet she beat the Endy mion frigate by two days from Falmouth to Madeira. When the coals of the Lizard ran short, the floats were taken off, and she rode like a duck under storm, trysails never taking a drop of water on board ; but she does not sail well on a wind, only two knots and a half per hour, and five knots be fore-it. She is to proceed to Ascension or St. Salvador Par coals, there being only about twenty tons at St. Jago, ten of which an American higate l had kindly lent to the Govern ment. The Ardent, steam-vessel, refitting at Woolwich, is ordered to be hastened, and when ready for sea will proceed to the Mediterranean to relieve the Sydenham steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Macdonald. the latter having been found in a very decayed state. TheSydenham was built is Canada. The onkey steam-vessel, Master-Commander 2 ConiBinatrnadnero William t oard p, Bryant, towed the Trafalgar, new N . from Deptford to Gravesend yesterday, to take s p on b troops for foreign service. A curious order of the police was issued at Berlin on the 2d instant. With a view of preventing the diminution of night ingales in their natural state of liberty, it is decreed that every person in Prussia who - Seeps a nightingale in a cage shall pay an annual tax of 10 thalers (40 francs), and that any person puttii* a nightingale in future into cage, without giving information to the police, shall be ilacd 30 thalers. • SPORTING INTELLIGENC4 HUN APPNTS.
