I Evoning .. 3 !ninnies after 2. ti • ' - g LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH I, 184 i. The Lords did not set yesterday. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. On the motion of Mr. T. DPNCOMBE, the House resolved itself into Committee on the Friendly Societies Bill. After a few observations from Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. WAKLii; and Mr. llAwns, the Bill passed through Com mittee. The Salmon Fisheries Bill was read a second time. Mr. Brcicwtls Escorr moved the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Sir R. INGLIs opposed the motion. Lord MoErETtr supported the Bill, as getting rid of the last remnant of the bigoted institutions of the dark ages. Mr. FINCH deprecated the spirit at present so prevalent among all secticns of Protestants, to look favour a bly on Ro man Catholics, and to make unjust concessions to them, and would oppose the Bill. Sir I.GRAIIA3I supported the motion for the second read ing of the Bill, because he was favourable to its spirit, which was the spirit of toleration. He, however, reserved to him self the power of proposing certain alterations in Committee. He denied that the Bill would repeal the Act of Supremacy, the repeal of which he would certainly oppose. Mr. WYsE denied that the temporal supremacy of the POPE was acknowledged anywhere beyond the Papal domi nions, and he wctild deprecate any extension of the POPE'S temporal p over beyond those dominions. Mr. CoL n QuilotTN considered the 13il1 contrary to the spirit (4' the Constitution, and would vote against the second read ing. lie thought every effort should be made to counteract the machinations of the Jesuits, and to prevent the cede tiastical power from superseding the civil authority. Ile thought the present movement in the Church of England vies a dalgeraus one, and, )vhen the proper time arrived, he Mould net shrink from g:appling with it, and asking the Legislature to arrest its progress. Mr. f►'CoNNF.r.i. considered that, in ecclesiastical matters ecclesiastical authority should be supreme, and in temporal matters civil authorities should be supreme. The lion. anti Learned Gentleman then passed a high euloginm upon the order of the Jesuits, and designated Pascal, Michelet, and 1-2ngene Sue, as persons of no authority, and the two latter els authors of atrocious books. After a few wards frora Mr. PAsirc - ro'x, Mr. J. ()Vox- ELT, arid Mr. XEWDECATE, THE SUN, LONDON, THTTRWDAY EVENING. MARCT-112, 1846. Lord JOHN MANNERS expressed his admiration of the Jesuits and their principles, and thought that the House would do better to imitate their example than to asperse their characters. Mr. ESTCOURT opposed the Bill, which was supported by Mr. P. BoirrnwicK and Mr. M. MILNES. Colonel SIBTHORPE considered the measure would under mine the Protestant religion, and would give it his strenu ous opposition. After a few words from Captain HARRIS, Lord J. Russatt, and Mr. P. HOWARD, and a reply from Mr. Escorr, the House divided ; when there appeared—For the second read : ing, 66—Against it, 23—Majority in favour of the Bill, 43. The Out-Pensioners Payment Bill was read a second time. In Committee of Supply 8,000,000/. was voted for the pub lic service. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved for leave to bring in a Bill for limiting the hours of night labour in lace factories. Sir J. GRAIIA3I objected to interference with the hums of labour. He would not, however, oppose the motion, but wait to see the Bill before he gave an opinion on it. Mr. FORSTER objected to the Bill. Colonel Ror.wros supported it, as did Mr. HF.ATIICOTE, who found it beneficial in his own factories to reduce the hours of labour. After a few words from Mr. FIELDEN, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Certain returns were then ordered to be made, and the House adjourned at Half-past Five. There is no part of our criminal code which so loudly demands a revision and reform as that relating to duelling. The law is perfectly clear and well-defined. Every person concerned in a duel in which there has been a life lost, not only as principal or second, but even as a mere looker-on (if he be there as an aider and abettor), is guilty of murder, and subject to the highest penalty known to our law. The proof is simple and easy, and yet, numerous as have been the victims who have fallen, there can scarcely be pointed out a single in stance of a conviction, certainly not a single one, in which there had not been something unfair in the ma nagement of the duel, or in which the survivor had not been grossly wrong in the matter which led thereto. Some few years since it required the strongest moral courage to refuse to fight if challenged, or to omit send ing a challenge if an insult had been given. The man who did so offended against the law of society and re ceived a punishment more severe than almost any the law could inflict. It was useless for him to allege that the head and front of his offending was, that he had refused to violate the laws both of GOD and man—no matter whether wife and children were wholly dependent on bins—that he was an upright and amiable man, dis charging efficiently all the duties of life as husband, parent, or friend, he had refused to render satisfaction, as it was termed, when demanded of him, and he was shunned and deserted, if not by all, at least by the great majority. Who could put forward the plea that he had already given sufficient proof to displace any imputation on his personal courage when even the Iron Duke—the hero of a hundred fights—was not satisfied to rest on his well-established character, but thought it necessary to demand such a satisfaction for what he conceived to be an im putation on his honour, and when a veteran of the highest reputation, the present Governor- General of India, consented to act as his second en the occasion? It is quite unnecessary here to repeat the names of the highest and best in our land, who have themselves been involved in similar transactions, and who certainly suffered no loss of character thereby. One instance within the last few years will be sufficient to testify that the leaders of our Government, and the majority of th' Members of the House of Commons, considered that the practice was still justifiable. We allude to the debate on the occasion of the Master of the Rolls, the then Attorny -General, of Ireland, having sent a hostile message in court, during the progress of the O'CONNELL trials, to Mr. FIZTCIIIIION, a Queen's Counsel, retained on behalf of the traversers, fur obser vations made by him in the discharge of his professional duty. Latterly, however, we are happy to say a heal thier state of feeling has arisen on the subject. The man who refuses to commit such a crime is no longer looked on as a person who may be insulted with impunity, and who must be scouted out of society for so doing. On the contrary, if his conduct in the entire transaction will bsar the strictest investigation—if he has not willfully or wantonly inflicted an injury or insult on his opponent—his character will stand higher than ever for his refusal ; and there is a strong feeling of the neces sity of a stop being put to the practice in every passible way. How, then, can this be done ? Is it by prosecut ing with the utmost rigour of the law the parties in volved in every fatal case, and punishing them when csnvieted ? This will not be sufficient. All cur expe rience shows that the certainty of a minor punishment is much more effectual for the repressing of crime of any kind than the possibility of the most severe, when every sympathy would be enlisted on behalf of the pri soner, and every anxiety felt by the jury and audience for an acquittal, because the punishment would be so far beyond what the crime demanded. We are led to these observations in consequence of the recent trial, at Winchester, of Mr. PIM ; and we confess that we did not feel surprised at his acquittal, contrary as it was to the charge of the Learned Judge who tried the care, or :at the burst of applause and manifest satisfaction with which, that verdict was re- ceived by the crowded assembly who witnessed the trial, The simple questions for the jury to decide on, as stated by the Judge, were—Did a duel take place ?—was Mr. SxroN wounded in that duel ?—and was Mr. PYM a second in that duel ? It was a matter of public noto riety that Mr. SETON received his death-wound in such a duel, and that Mr. Pint was a second therein ; and the evidence was abundantly sufficient to warrant any rea sonable man or body of men in finding that such were the facts. Indeed, we cannot conceive that any body of men could hesitate in coming to such a conclusion ; but the jury adopted the argument of the learned and able counsel for the prisoner, who argued not that such was not the law, but against its policy, and that juries might stand between the law and the accused, and refuse to convict him of such a crime as wilful murder, in fact, that they were not bound to take the law from the judge, but might themselves become the arbiters both of law and fact. And if ever there was a case to excite the warmest sympathies of a jury, and to induce them to strain every point in order to prevent the fearful consequences of a conviction, it was that one. A young man, under twenty years of age, bearing the highest character as a mild, inoffensive gentleman, very unlikely to promote a quarrel, had consented to act for a friend and brother efficer, on whom an injury of the most serious character had been attempted;—the virtue of his wife had been assailed. A large pecuniary recompense had been offered as the price of her honour and that of her husband. Although repulsed, the assailant refuses to desist from his persecutions, but continues his odious attentions; and when at length the lit:shut:l wrings from his wife the facts, and maddened by the continued and public attentions of the would•be seducer, finds it necessary to tell him that he is ac quainted with ever) thing, and applies to him epithets which no husband of a young and virtuous woman could consider as sufficiently strong, under the circumstances. The answer givcn is (if possible) an aggravation of the original offence, an addition of insult to the attempted injury, " that it was impossible for a light cavalry man to :met an infantry man;" forsooth, that an officer and a gentleman, bearing a commission in an honourable and gallant corps, was to be injured and insulted with im punity, because the insulter chose to arrogate some fancied superiority for the branch of the service in which he himself held his commission. Who could refuse to come forward in such a cause?—net an ardent and high spirited youth, who felt his friend, and the body to which he be lon;ed, had been grievously and wantonly insulted. He was no practised and veteran duellist, ready to foment quar rels, and bring to a mortal arbitrament a trifling dispute, which the slightest degree of discretion on the part of the second 3 might have arranged, and brought to an amicable conclusion. On the contrary, it appeared that he did not even know how to load the pistol he was about to place in the hand of his friend. We cannot, therefore, regret the result of the trial, although we fear it will tend to perpetuate the practice, and form a pre cedent for other juries to exonerate and discharge persona not wui a s:L ia t econk o r i utl p oho e wue r id s eL o l ; geg t i o sl b a appearing under less favourable circumstances. Mr. grapple l v e i w c victim ro T t 3t h e w a u s n e tu rn re ad to e a g apnudblpicat,a. voice c e e n t a o s evil,e i c t i nd e u E g e against which y ich raised.the Let the Legislature, if it seriously desirs to put a stop to the offence, declare duelling to be a serious offence ; let it affix a severe penalty of tine and imprisonment (per haps with hard labour) to be inflicted in every case, no matter what may be the result ; and when one or two Prosecutions have taken place, when score gentlemen of nice honour—quick to take offence, and anxious to make themselves . notorious as principles or seconds have exercised themselves for one cr two years in some of our ho :sea of correction ; and when it is known that every similar offence is cc •r lain of receiving a similar punishment, we venture to prophecy that duelling will no longer be a fashionable amusement, but that its prac tice will have received a heavier blow and a greater discouragement than if a conviction had taken place, and h public feeling had been outraged by human life being again taken away by a legal murder. Lord 4 e ksea.t, has earned for himself a proud title as the v l acknowledged abuses in our laws ; let him turn his attention to this subject, and we fearlessly say that he can add no brighter laurel to the wreaths which he has won and hereafter may win during his useful career, or one which will confer a greater knefit on his country*. Scarcely ever have we entertained sentiments of such peculiar satisfaction at the general bearing of the Lower House in the discussion of a religious question, as those with which we yesterday observed the manner in which the second reading of the "Roman Catholic Relief Bill" was received by the majority of the Members. And it is more peculiarly a source of gratification to ourselves from the circumstance of its forming an additional evidence of the liberality of feeling with which the Ministry are now in spired. It is creditable likewise to this age Gf enlighten ment and freedom of opinion that a Bill of this nature should be introduced to the supervision of Government. Every one with but a fractional portion of common sense recoils from any further perpetuation cf those miserable and atrocious penal enactments which are, in fact, the leprous blotches of the statute-book—enactments by which a body of Christians, and a very gigantic body be it remembered, is debarred from an exercise of the reasoning faculties, or of conscience itself, under penalties of so violent a description as to excite the repugnance of all well-constituted minds. That these opinions are not restricted to any petty band of innovators, but are those entertained by almost every division cf the community, is fully demonstrated, even if we regard that effluence of the multitude (the House of Representatives) as the criterion. Laws so villanously stringent upon the minds as well as upon the bodies of our fellow-creatures—laws so con trary to the more essential elements of our constitution itself —laws at once so cowardly and so infamously despotic as these constitute an anomaly but little creditable to a genera tion of science or a nation of freemen. And to maintain for a single instant that such enactments are necessary as pre servatives to the established religion of this country would be a tacit acknowledgment of the rottenness and mundane insecurity of that creed. It would be an inference most per nicious to the Protestant Church. All these considerations have, within this session, operated upon the different depart • ments of the Legislature, and in consequence the lovers of freedom and of charity (in which class we would enume rate all right-minded Englishmen) are rejoiced to see a Bill introduced for the abolition of these statutes by the Lunn CHANCELLOR himself, simultaneously with one of a like nature now passing through the House of Commons. The fearless, candid, and dispassionate manner in which the latter was yesterday introduced for a second reading by Mr. Escorr was a gratifying testimony that a really competent party bad been selected for that office But a rather miserable contrast was given to the Hon. Member's address by the subsequent speech of Sir ROBERT HARRY Isicus a speech which reflects as little credit upon his taste as upon his judg ment—a speech more adapted to the congregations of Exeter Hall than to the audience of St. Stephen's—a speech as wretched in its tact as it was virulent in its sentiments. Lord MOT:MTH, whose remarks were brimming over with noble truths—truths eminently worthy of his utterance—could scarcely have insinuated the bigotry by which all antagonists to this Bill were goaded on with more consummate delicacy or more painful sarcasm. His allusions to the Hon. Member for Oxford were thoroughly merited and conveyed that gentle manly, but :emphatic reprobation of his conduct with which he should be unceasingly visited until the close of his semi clerical crusade. It is indeed a matter of astonishment, of indignation, of deep and unaffected regret on cur part, that the University of Oxford—so renowned fur its erudition, for its correspondence with the advancement of society, and fur its aggregation of natural and cultivated talent—should suc cumb to the MAWWORM class of ethics, and, Parliament after Parliament, set forth as an exponent of its religious and political views one so impervious to the voice of liberal and charitable concession. To Sir ROBERT Nails the "live and let live" of theology is a non-existence; he declaims against the code of Jesuitism as over-rigid, and establishes in his own mind a moral inquisition, most stern and uncompromising, to all of a different belief. Filled, however, as we are with regret at this mal-appropriation of human reason, it is matter of earnest congratulation to our selves, that saving the casual toadyism of Colonel SIBTIIORP, or his scanty compeers, the diatribes of Sir R. 11. INGLIS are virtually and actually innocuous. Yesterday's division was proof positive that our legislators are animated by a true and practical devotion to the prin ciples most accordant to our political state, as well as most accordant to the creed established by the GOD OF THE CHRISTIANS. Before very long we shall have the grateful consciousness that in England the most divine attribute of our common nature—FAlTH—is no longer trameiled by human edicts; that each man may worship his CREATOR in the manner most reasonable to him self without let or hindrance, but, above all, without a single glimmer of scorn or obloquy. The motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the Member for Coventry, relative to the want of education in Wales, is one of the very first importance, and to that gentleman we are indebted for a mass of useful information, supported by some very sagacious and benevolent hints as to the manner in which a great national evil may be eradicated. The facts upon which that Hon. Member founded his present interposition on the part of his fellow-countrymen are heart-touching in the extreme, and are deserving of the most earnest consideration. According to an estimate formed by the President of a Dissenting College in Wales, it appears that 250,000 children require instruction in that country. Of these merely 70,000 are supplied with the necessary education, and a very considerable portion of that 70,000 arc abandoned to schoolmasters cf such indifferent capacity, that the education is actually little more than nominal. A calculation more startling than this could scarcely be made in any ether civilised country ; it proves more, than a social malady, it proves a legislative over sight. What moral excellence, what political sobriety, what subordination, what improvements, can possibly be ex pected from a population, when 180,000 children are per mitted to grow up in an ignorance as leaden, as unhoping, and as dismal in its density, as creatures with the faculties of man are capable of doing? What hopes can be enter tained of a people with excellent wages, who have no other alternative to while away their leisure hours but the vapours of the tap-room ; no other solace in their lack . of occupation but alcohol ; no other notion of supreme enjoyment but a gossip round the hearthstone of a public-house ? What tranquillity can be looked for among a race without the power to balance with accuracy the problem of right and wrong? None. No, cot one. It would be the muskiest iesanity ; it ado uld.l%:xpecting a fruitful harvest where no single grain is sown, and where the wholesome moisture of the earth is expelled by an unnatural drough'. An enumeration of all those baneful consequences which must necessitate from such a condition of mind among a body of men like our Welsh countrymen ie icracely possible —they are almost numberless. But that political and social grievances must result from the mere circumstance alone of their not knowing the language in which the laws that rule them are expressed, must be evident to any rational indi vidual. Their isolation by this fact also precludes them from all capacity to rise above the original level of their condition : they are shut out from the most humanizing influences : they are prevented from becoming more deter minately prosperous either materially or intellectually. So manifest were all these deductions, so impossible to gainsay, so incapable were they of being rlurred over, thrt the Home Secretary acknowledged the urgency of the case, and merely requested Mr. Wremams to withdraw his motion on the following engagement :—" lie (Sir JAMES Guarraas) pro posed that the Educational Committee of the Privy Council should send down into \Vales two of its inspectors to inquire into the extent of the ignorance of the English language among the population of Wale?, and into the best means of removing it. He thought that the necessary information might be speedily obtained, and that the intervention of Parliament might be procured, perhaps, during the present session." We shall look vigilantry for the report of these two pro posed inspectors, and we shall look hopefully for that same intervention of Parliament, sustained by the aspiration that houses of correction may give place to parish seminaries, and tuition ultimately supersede the treadmill. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 4th instant. The Gazette of that date publishes a return of the receipts and expenditure for the year 1845, shossing a balance in favour of the Government, to the amount of 65,156,372 reals, (651,5630; the total expenditure being 1,225,405,957 reels, (12,254,9590; and the receipts 1,290,652,329 reels, (12,906,5230. It was said that the Government had. re fused to accept the resignation of Don lIENztaQuE, as they wish to keep him at a distance from the capital. The Herald() says, the negotiations at Rome had taken a more favourable turn, and bulls from the Porn had been re ceived in Madrid., approving of the bishops lately ap pointed, in which his HOLINESS expressly and solemnly acknowledges ISABELLA 11., as Queen of Spain. The Funds have again fallen. On the 4th the Three per Cents. closed at 28% for cash, and at 30 days; and the Five per Cents. at 2 1 / 8 for the 30th of April. In the French Chamber of Deputies, the motion of DE Sr. PRIEST, relative to the reiuction of the Five per Cent. Stock has been carried by a majority of 56—the numbers being fur authorising the consideration of the subject, 201, and against it, 145. The Minister of Finance strongly opposed the adoption of such a course as inopportune and veu dangerous under present circumstances. In the course the discussion M. GAIINIT.P. PAG.rs inveighed strongly against the Government for its want of courage in this in stance, insisted on the necesAty of effecting the conversion at the present time, and addld that a strong reason against it was one universally known, though no person liked to mention it,—namely, the "sysMnze, the " pense du r?gne"— ' in ether words the KING. He was loudly called to order by the Centre, and he dropped the topic. There is no chance, however, of the measure 'being carried this session, for the House of Peers are also opposed to it, and will not yield but to what M. GARNIEIt PAGES calls an " imperious reason." The late insurrection in Poland, for we believe all hopes of success are now abandoned, continues to form the principal topic in the papers, as well as in private societies. All lament the fall of the Poles, and regret that a rising should have taken place, when, neither the Poles themselves nor the rest of Europe were prepared for it.. The Government, as a matter of course, have taken every precaution against any public displays Which may give offence to the three Powers. A grand manifestation was expected at the Opera, on Monday night, and the police, in consequence, assembled there in great force, to repress anything of the kind. The following ac count of the affair appears in the AVat:ona/: " The pit of the Opera presented a most extraordinary aspect, from its containing 150 if not 200 police agents, filling one-half of the seats. The Government, having received information that it was intended to call for the performance of the Marseillaise or the Cracoaienne, had given instructions to the Prefect of Police to take every possible means for preventing this manifestation of opinion. After the first act of Lucie was over, a portion of the audience cried out for the Marseillaise, but the agents drowned the cry by shouting La Piece! La Piece! and the orchestra com menced the introduction of the second act. At this time a detachment. of Sergens de rilla collected near the entrance, and a squadron of Municipal Guards took up their station in the court-yard next the Rue Grange Bateliere. After the second act was over, the cries fur the 211arseillaise were le newed, and received with the same opposition as before by the police agents. Upon this a patty of Sergens de Ville entered the pit, and took out three of the most voci ferous of the young men, and conducted them to the Corps de Garde in the vestibule.' On Tuesday a meeting of Deputies, belonging chiefly to the Left and the Left Centre, and amounting to about eighty, was held in one of the committee-rooms, to consider what steps might be best under present circumstances, to assist the unfortunate Poles. M. DUPONT DE L'Eurts was called to the chair, when M. GARNIER PAGES proposed that the assembly should con titute itself into a permanent committee to watch over the interests of Poland. M. Ontnox BARROT, however, and many other members objected to the proposition, and thought that, in the present position of the Poles, when it was not likely that they could consolidate their forces, and effectually resist the three great Powers, it would be better to wait events, and that in the meantime the meet ing should merely appoint a committee, charged with drawing up an appeal to the people, and calling upon them to sub scribe in favour of the insurgents. Such a course would be more consistent with the dignity of the French Chamber of Deputies than to give formal expression to wishes and feel ings, which had little chance at the present moment cf being accomplished. This plan, therefore, was adopted, and a committee was appointed, merely to collect subscriptions. The committee consists of M. DUPONT DE L'EuRE, chairman, MM. ARAGO, LAMARTINE, ODILON BAT:ROT, REMILLY, nEvthnn, LAFAYETTE, and DE LARCY. The Prussian and Austrian Ministers at Paris received on Tuesday accounts that the insurrection virtually was at an end. According to the .21 7 afional, the subjoined petition, copies of which are to be sent for signature to all parts of France, was to be pre sented to the Chamb2r of Deputies:— " Gentlemen,—For fifteen years past, and in every year, you have opened all your sessions by expressing a wish for the resurrection of Poland as a nation, and on all occasions all France his joined in that wish. Poland Is now rising against her oppressors ; she is display ing the utmost energy in order to break her fetters and re-conquer her independence and liberty. We come to claim of you, as a sanc tion of your own votes, a solemn declaration of sympathy for her generous efforts. The Poles are tho French of the North; their blood has been shed for France In all our battles ; let her, then, cover them with her exalted - protection. It is the act of Justice and humanity we expect from you." The French Funds, from various causes, still continue to fall.

The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied their Lordships the whole morning. went to the door cf the house and called a policeman, who took tha prisoner in charge. Mary Connell, a young woman who lived in the same house with the complainant, said that she was in the kitchen last evening, when the prisoner 'came to look for a razor, saying he wanted it to " kill that - old rogue, his father." He took a razor from a drawer in the dresser, andwas leasing the kitchen, when she interrupted him, and with some.diffi culty took the razor from him. Tile prisoner expressed great regret for ills conduct, an d said that if he were discharged he would keep away from home. The complainant said be would be satisfiel with the pri sonet's wword•that he would keep awn y. Mr. HALL did not think he would be justified in setting the prisoner at liberty upon his own promise. He must make him enter into recognisances for 40/., and find two sureties in 20!. eaeb, to keep the peace for four months. MONEY and "COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The only ship arrival to-day is from Valparaiso, and we do not find that there is any news of general interest from that quarter. A good deal of cut iosity is manifested to learn how the dis pute between Menses. Lizartli, the late agents of the Mexi can Government, and the Bondholders, represented by their Committee, will be likely to terminate. So far as justice is concerned, there are few disinterested persons who doubt the right of the bendlielders to the amount withheld, but there may be legal difficulties interposed as in other cases. Hitherto the Committee have received, we believe, every encouragement, as regares counsel's opinion, to proceed with their suit, which was expected on yesterday, and we hope at all events will come before the Court this week. The bondholders are naturally impatient to have the matter settled one way or the other; and, if in their favour, to receive the instalment so long due, and which, with the amount already in the hands of Messrs. Schneider, might make up a sum worth having. The English Stock Market presents quite a blank appear ance. owing to the closing of the Transfer books for so many securities.

The following Members were present J. Y. Buller, Chairman, Mr. Kemble and Mr. Walker. ZIVZIRPOOL AND LEEDS DEILZCT. The form,l proofs of this Bill were taken on Tuesday, and the further consideration of the same was adjourned till to -day. ✓ The CHAIRMAN stated that the Bill was postponed, as far as related to proceedings before the Committee, but would be brought under the notice of the House to-night, in accord ance with the wishes of the promoters. NORTIIUMI3E:I.M.AND AND LANCASHIRE• The object of this Bill (against which there were five peti tions) was to obtain Parliamentary powers to consti net this railway, the length of which was 24 1 / 2 miles, and the esti mated cost 780,0001. Engineers, Messrs. Joseph Locke and Thomas Storey ; solicitors, Maltby and Co.; Parliamentary agent, Mr. Coates. The formal proofs being taken, the Committee proceeded to hear the petitions against the Bill. The first petition was from Mr. M. Bell, complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders, inasmuch that no notice was served on the petitioner of the intention of the promoters to apply to Parliament for the construction of this identical railway, on or before the 31st of December, as required by the Act of Parliament. Mr. PRerr (who appeared in support of the petition) said that the substance of the allegation was simply this :—The promoters of this Bill gave notice that they intended to construct a line of railway at a point marked A, and ter minating at a point marked C, but they only brought for ward a Bill for executing a line cf one-third that extent, which terminated at a point marked B. It was quite clear that the promoters of a Bill might give notice of their inten tion to construct a larger amount than they hereafter dis covered to be expedient to undertake, but their subsequent promdings must be in accordance with what they intend to prosecute. From these considerations it was evident that the promoters of this Bill were bound, when they intended to stop short at the point B, that they should have given the neces sary notice of the same. If that had been done, he was not prepared to state that any objection would be taken to the Bill. But in the case of the patties intereeted like his client, the notice served stated that the whole line was to he formed. That of course led the landowners to suppose that the rail way about to be a; plied for to Parliament was that com mencing at Newcastle-on-Tyne and terminating at the Newcastle atiO Carlisle Railway, and therefore that they would reap all the benefits that would result from such a line ; but they found that only one-third of the line for which their consent had been obtained, was to he presccieted. There was a precedent in this cage, in the Rochester and Grave seed Railway Bill, which would actuate them in their decision with reference to the present question. He would call the attention of the Committee particu!arly to this case, and if they would look at it in its consequences ad extremum, they would see that it might lead to results if the course here deprecated was permitted to be pursued: There was a case decided last session, which was clearly in point. lie alluded to the Wells and Dereham Railway Bill. The Committee were, therefore, in a fair, position to decide upon this allegation in the petition. It would, therefore, be unnecessary for him to add any further observations. Mr. Co.&vas, on the part of the promoters of the Bill, con tended that as the Yerk and Carlisle Railway Bill, which was Lefore the House, would effect all that the original BM proposed to do, that the petitioner was not injured by the alteration that had taken place. The CHAIRMAN—IIas Mr. Bell had notice of the land to be taken from him ? Mr. PurrT—l - Ie does not allege that he has not. The Committee found that the standing orders in this case had been sustained: The next allegation was, that one -tenth of the estimate of the reduced works was not subscribed, as required by the Act of Parliament. This gave rise to a discussion whether the Acf, 39 A or 29 A, which required that only one-tenth of three-foui tbs of the estimate should be deposited, should be considered to be in tended to be acted upon. The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that the latter was what was contemplated by Parliament, but sent to the Speaker to ascertain his opinion on the subject, which was in conformity with his own. The Committee, therefore, found that the allegation was not sustained, being of opinion that it would be a great hard ship if parties, when they bad deposited one-tenth of three fourths of the estimate, should be considered as not having complied with the Act of Parliament. This finished the case of this petition. • Three other petitions were abandoned. The next petition considered was from Mr. W. Harper, which alleged general inaccuracy in the plans and sections. The first specific allegation was with reference to the radius of the curve at the sixteenth mile and 7th furlong, which was not pressed. An allegation to the same effect, with respect to the river at the fourteenth mile and seventh furlong, was sustained. A similar allegation was not sustained: — It was alleged that there was a discrepancy between the plans with reference to a certain turnpike-road on the line, which was not sustained: Sub •Committee No. 4.

The Lord Chancellor sat in the, Old Hall, Lincoln's• Inn, to-day, and heard appeal motions and appeals. The part heard motion of " Wennall v. Featherstone," and the appeal of "Dobson v. Lyall," occupied his Lordship the whole day. V ICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of England.) osw.tm) V. OSWALD. Mr. BBTHELL applied in this case upon motion for an in junction to restrain the defendant from iu any way interfer ing in the business in which he and the petitioner were part ners. It appeared that the petitioner and defendant, in 1840, entered into an agreement with the late Earl Grey to work certain lime-stone quarries, the property of the late Earl. The plaintiff advanced. the necessary funds for the purpose, and the defendant was to have the management of the works. Latterly the plaintiff had discovered that the defendant was making the speculation a losing instead of a profitable concern; that a large balance was due to the banker, who claimed it from the plaintiff; and, therefore, the present application became necessary. No Counsel being in structed to oppose the application, His HONOUR ordered the injunction to issue in the terms •asked. DUNCOSIBE T. LEVY. In this case it was arranged that cause should be shown nn Monday nest, and that, in the meantime, the defendant should be at liberty to proceed as if the injunction had Lot been granted. His Hosouß, after disposing of several other cases, rose before twelve o'clock. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wvanatx.) FISH V. LORD PALMERSTON. His HONOUR gave judgment this morning. The case was argued before the Court some time ago, and the main point in dispute was a claim for interest from the date of the sale of the property purchased by the defendant in October, 1840. The Court this morning went again into the evidence and correspondence at great length, commenting on the points raised by counsel in their argument. His Honour said that no one could doubt, after reading the correspondence which had passed between the parties, prior to the 7th April, 1841, that Lord Palmerston had admitted the purchase and entered into the contract; at the same time the subsequent letters having been admitted on both sides, the Court would not hold his Lordship bound by any admisssion found in that correspondence. 6n the whole it could not be held that it was a case of sur prise or otherwise. The most favourable view of the plaintiff's case was, that he had proved the terms, but had failed to prove the conditions of sale. His Honour came, therefore, to the only point in dispute, whether interest should be allowed to the plaintiff, and he decided that interest ;should be allowed on the purchase money, including the timber, from the 10th October, 1841, taking that as the date when the contract was entered into. An inquiry should be made whether, and what, rents and profits, if any, had been derived from the prop:rty by the plaintiff after that time. If the barn had fallen through dilapidailon, or been pulled down previous to that time, the defendant was entitled to an account against the plaintiff. The case was such that the Court could nut allow costs to either party. SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) BAKER V. BALLARD. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 97. 2s. on a bill of exchange. The defendant pleaded that he had paid the amount. The plaintiff is a surgeon, and the defendant an attorney's clerk. Mr. Tuomas, on behalf of the defendant, put in a receipt for the amount. The receipt was not dated ; but the water mark on the stamp was the fourth month 011845; it was. in the following words, "48, Gray's Inn-lane. —Received of Mr. William Ballard, 9/. 25., as per bill for medicines and medical attendance up to Michaelmas last—John Baker." Roger Hall, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, said he did not think that the receipt was in the plaintiff's hand-writing, but he would admit it to be. The UNDER-SHERIFF—What do you mean by saying that you do not believe it to be his hand-writing, yet that you will admit it? The witness said he believed it to be forged. said ctedis a ,a. receipt had been given, and no doubt it Mr.11,1,,1a 8. lethe monnixe s not pretended that there was more s ° c p s a r K o i a d l i t than this one transaction between the parties. Charles Harvey was called, and deposed that he was well acquainted with the plaintiff's hand-writing, and that the receipt was his writing, Mr. CHARNOcK then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and said that he should be able to prove that the defendant, in answer to an application for the amount of the bill, seht the bill of exchange, and requested an acknowledgment, whereupon the receipt was sent. Charles Horne, a bey about fourteen, was called, and de posed that I.e was present when defendant's son called with a letter. He believed the letter to be the one produced, and the bill was enclosed in it. Plaintiff told witness to get a receipt stamp Out of the drawer, and plaintiff wrote a receipt and gave it to the lad Ballard. lie thought the receipt now put in was the one, but he c uld not say whether or not there was a.stamp on it at the time. The UNDER-SHERIFF said if the witness could not recol lect that, his evidence went for little on the other points. Mr. THOMAS contended that the action was in reality that of Hall, who held the bill before it became due, and had admitted that he had written several letters 'te defendant threatening to expose him in the Sheriffs' Court as to the na ture of his complaint if he did not pay. The Learned Counscl said it was most extraordinary that Hall should deny the genuineness of the receipt when the substantial defence was that it had been given when the bill was sent. The UNDER-SUERIFF said it was clear that a most un worthy trick had been played on one side or the other, and it was for the jury to say on which. On the part of the plain tiff it ought to be argued that the date hat' been left out in consequence of cash not being received, intending that it should operate when the bill was taken up. The proper course would have beer. to have said "Received by bill of exchange," if it was so. On the other hand no proof of pay ment was offered, but theholdine• the receipt was Prima facie evidence. On the o th er h a nd the bill was still in the possession of the plaintiff; and that went in his favour, as it hac: not been shown why it was not delivered up if the money was pail on it. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the defendant. BOW -STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Charlts Baker was charged with assaulting his father. The complainant, who was a very old man, stated that the prisoner had for some time been very much in the habit of drinking excessively, and had frequently assaulted him while in a state of intoxication. Last evening witness having been at work, ret urne d h ome an d f ou nd the prisoner very much intoxicated, and using threatening language to his mother. He reproved hi m for lila conduct, and said that knowing what effect drink al wa y s h a d upon hi m he ought to be more careful. The prisoner ab use d hi m , an d threatened to " take his life's blood;" with Wix, all u di ng to the murder lately committed in Drury-lane. adding that he would hang on the s am e gallows He then snatched up a pair of scissors and made a blow at him with them, which he however evaded.

This W!:19 also an ar.ljourned case, and the Chairman having called upon the agent to make the statements which the Committee had given leave to be made this murning, Mr. VF...NABLES (in the absence of Mr. Burke) accordingly made the statement, which was to the effect that inasmuch z.s the contract for part of the amount of the estimate, viz., three-fourths, had been provithd fir by a declaration under the common seal of the Great Western Company, who would have to subscribe that amount, it was suggested, he be lieved, the other day by some members of the Committee, that there were no means of enforcing payment of that sum by the Great Western Company. Now in answer to that suggestion, he had to state that if the Bill passed parties would have the same right against the Great Western Company as they would have against any other shareholder in this under taking, because they might enforce payment from them by action in the same manner that they could sue any parties to a contract deed. The CHAIIpIAN said, that to his mind, the Great Western Company would not be bound for the payment of their debts in the manner . to which the public had a right. Of course, Mr,. Burke might have an opportunity of making his statement before the Standing Orders' Committee, and in that statement he might suggest any altera tion which he thought proper in reference to the course which might be taken for remedying the matter. The Committee would, therefore, in this case, report that the standing or • ders had not been complied with, inasmuch as the subscrip tion contract only provided for 1,625,0001., which was not three-fourths of the estimate (the total amount of the esti mate being 2,000,0001.) The Committee would also report that the promoters had tendered evidence that such deficient contract. was remedied by a delaration under the seal of the Great Western Company to the amount of 1,623,0401., but it appeared that the Company was only enabled, and not com pelled, to subscribe that amount for the jcompletion of the undertaking.

MORTALITY IX TIIE METROPOLIS.— The number of deaths during the week ending Saturday, March 17, Was 860, showing a decrease of 56 as compared with the previous week, and being not lets than 220 below the average of five winters. This may be attributed chiefly to the extreme mildness of the season, as wc, find that the deaths caused by those complaints generally so fatal in very cold weather are greatly below the usual number. For instance, the deaths from diseases of the lungs and other organs .of respiration, the most numerous by far under any one head, were only 287, average of five waiters 363, and of five years 294. 'Broil chiti3, pneumonia, asthma, and consumption, have all been very mild; and deaths from old age are not less than 52 below the average, which is 90, the total number last week being 38. The violent deaths are 19, and the excess cf births over deaths 469. • ACCIDENT.—A young gentleman named Dewen, met his death on Southampton waters, on Monday last, in an open boat, which capsized, and his body has not yet been recovered. Biscuits of maize or Indian corn, have been manurac tured at Bristol, and they are described as very agreeable and nu tritious.
