He trusted-that4he Noble Lord would eschew the old prejudicial system of preferring strangers to natives in the appointment of Government officers.—(Cheers.) He could assure the Noble Lord that he would be able to select men of confidence and high character—men that knew Ireland—sot men that were brought thither to spend the first half of their time in unbecoming Engli•h ptejudices and the other half in beginning_ to knew the Irish character, and were then taken awry so as to - iffori an oppor tnnityfor aeother oranges. to come in to go through the same rentinee He could he repeated find in Ireland moo equs ly as well adapted as Englishmen to fill any situations syhieh the. Government had in that country Now, if the Noble Lord would pursue that enure he would do much to advance the prospente and happiness of the Irish people. Well as the Secretaryship for Ireland had been filleo by the Noble Lord the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, whilst the Whir were in offire, vet he (Mr. Shaw) doubted whether even he was suffisiently at:painted with Ireland to discharge those duties in a satisfactory and efficient manner. He would undertake to say, on behalf of himself and those around him, that if the gentlemen opposite come into power they would at lease find them &eyelid and generous opponents.— He apologised for haYieg digressed so much on the subject of the general Irish`pel cy of the Government.: He admitted i. that he did not think That the BM itself would he henefic a He repudiatedthe notion that his vote on this On the regarded as a vote of confidence in the Government.queetion should be contrary; if the Government were defeated aslr ne b d eli n e ffi ve e t e l , th h ey e would be, and if in consequence they thought would be but a m erited-ret a rtb d nt pa i r o e n i - ty fo rn e Lheenmndonsettu.l - and grievous politinel thoughtn that if , they fell as a (Proteciionist ' cheers ) Ministry the] would fall un H re e gre a t te : t ; he said tie with the most grief was this, that whilst unfeigned concern; and his greatest he was obliged to speak. of the . fovernanmeinntdiasidatiblo.dy political. composing sincere emre m any individuals • and esteem— in these terms, he d i i h d , ent m er o ta st ur that Govienmetet • that speaking politically— (Laughter)—bht this helve:lld say, and he was anxious to state this broadly and wholly irrespective of the merits - of the corn-law question—and he was bold to affirm this, that if the Government or the present Administra tion should be overthrown by the voice of the representatives of the people, that not only this country, but the whole world would regard it as a righteous verdict and a just national judg ment upon public men for a great public delinquency.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. DILLON BROWNE said that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down must give the greatest satisfaction, as it w s indicative of the conciliatory cour-e here after to be taken by the Protestants of Ireland towards their Catholic fellow -countrymen. It was clear that what was destruc tive to the Catholic must also be injurious to the Protestant. and that what was death to Connaught and Munster must be contagious to Ulster, and it would best advance the interests of 4Oth parties if they were to join in furthering the good of their common cruitry. The Right Hon. Gentleman represented the University of Dublin, but certainly if he were to take the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman as a sample of the legit used in Dublin, he must certainly say his premises did not justify his conclusion. He made a speech against the Coercion Bilis whilst he voted for the Coercion Bill. He did not even adduce a single argument in favour of that measure, anti yet he Niels prepared, though his whole speech tended to a different direction, to vote for the measure. N•twehe did not mean to shy this disrespectfully of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he was afraid that his vote on this question was influenced by an ambition to be the future Seereta-y for Ireland. The Members of the Government had not wale out a case in jhstificatioe of this most coercive measure. The speech of the Noble Nord. the Secretary for Ireland, was made for the pur pose of esrablt-hing two points—the eai-tence of crime, and the necessity of removing it. Tea Government had shifted their gr.nroinn this qtr'stion, and the speech in question had been a perfe•A failure. The sreesh of the Right Hon Baroner tire Secretary fn. the Hem , Department was made for the purpose of proviee that it was neeessary to su tend the Constitution with r•seeet to I• lam!; thus estatlishing a fast precedent for - uture Governments. ss Thi-y mu s t t ry a s tem of conciliation. and by a redress of' grievances endear our to effect a cure f-r the moral and political I vile of !relate!.

One of the rea sons alleged fur bringing us this B II was fore , d marriaues in Ltd Laughter ) Another reason was the number of outrages of an agrarian chiracter in tint unf irtunete country. He found, however, that cut of the six thousand reported, there were not really six hundred which arose from causes connected with the land. The Hon Member read a list of agrarian outrages in England. to show that crime w:'s more prevalent in that coon re than in Ireland. H-r Majesty's Government had done much fur Ireland; he did not wish to test their actions by the vulgar rules of arithmetic- ( Hear, hear)- they had coma forward in th • Ire crisis in a manner that reflected the,highest c- edit on themselves, as had already been acknowledged in that House by the re i val Members. Sir R. PEEL said that the question which they at present hatt to decide was not whether they should enter into Com- Mitiee on the Bill which had been introduced by the Govern s' argent for the protection of life and property in Ireland, or whether measures would be introduced for the purpose of pre venting the outrages which had been comma tid in that eountry. The question which the House had to decide would be whether thee would reject altogether the proposl of he Government, whether they would refuse the consideration of this question, whether they would imply that the present con dition of Ireland could be dealt with by the existing laws, or whether there should not be some additional protection for the purpose of giving that security to life and property which was so mash required in that errantry- He regretted that disease existed, but he felt it necessary to vindicate the course which the Government had taken on this occasion, but ha would take care to limit the consideration of the ques tion within the narrowest limits. He acknowledged the cor dial support which the Government had received from Hon. Gentlemen opposite throughout the progress of those commer cial measures which had been ratified by that House, and he thanked those Hon. Memb2rs for the concurrence they had thus given to those questions. That concurrence, however, did not impose any otligation on them ; they were not required to give their support to measures which they might consider of an unconstitutional character. He would give them the credit that they did not desire that Ireland should be made the arena for the settlement of disputes. He believed that these Hon. IV/embers would well consider whether or no this proposal of the Government was justified by the circumstances of Ireland, and whether it was desirable to object to a measure which had for its object the quietude of that country, without any reference to mere party considerations. Her Majesty's Government thought it their duty to propose another measure than the existing law would warrant, because they found that in certain.ceunties in Ireland there prevailed a system of outrage which set at defiance every authority of thelaw. They found that in fens or five of the counties in Ireland there had been a system of grievances and danger to life and property which peremptorily called for the intervention of the Govern ment. Her alajeety's Government foan4 that in some of the counties there had been murders, and it was with the greatest difficulty' the murderer could be discovered ; and it was found, also, that the contagion seread to the neighbouring counties, and the Government, therefore, found it their duty to brine under the c .ns deration of Parliamert a measure having fur its object the giving of additional powers for the maintenance of the peace of that country. Among the strenuous opponents of her Majesty's Governm-nt, he found -the lion. Member for Ballast , wini had opened the debate 'this evening- The Hon. Member said, that the system rat outrages which had occurred in some parts of the country was such, that he would willingly acquiesce in some measure for reutelying the evil. The Him. Member stated that he would prefer a• suspension of the Hebei, Corpus Act to the present, measure. There had been only cue argument .Ithich he had heard adducted by the Hon Member, and hat was howseinaiilmargurnent." • The Hon.

Mr. SH t%V stated that what he referred to was to illustrate that frcm the highest to 'h • lowest there existed a state of igno rance en tee condi ion ot Ireland. Sir R. PEEL had certainly heard another account of this matter, and that while the mother of the housemaid— (Laughter) —was afraid of the Curren-. the master of the servant was actually pressing the measure upon the Govern ment, stating that if the measure had been brought forward an the first day of. the session, it would have passed without ooposition. Now with reference to the speech of the Hon. Ale nber for Stroud (P. Scrope), he stated that these c, mbi - talons for outrage were only the natural necessity for poor relief, and considered that there would be no chance of obtain ing tranquillity for Ireland until they gave to the Irish peasant a sight of relief from the land, O.her persons thought that this wottkLbe an unwise provision, and that it would lead to the eanfiseation of property. But said the Hon.

Carmine, a proposal was made by which he ( Sir R. Peel) continued in Governmen'; and if the Ga!lant arid Chivalreus Marquis of Anglesey, Mr. Huskisson, Lora Melbourne, and others had considered that he had bunted and chased the Noble Lord's relative to death, he did not think that they would have aced as they did at that period. No such charge was preferred against him even by the nearest relative of that illustrious statesman. But with that he had no concern. He referred only to the coo -1 duct of those Noblemen and Gentlemen as a proof that they did not participate in the feelings expressed the other night by the Not le Lord. But this h' would say, that th , -; charge of the Noble Lord with respect to his change of opinion wet utterly and entire 4 destitute of foundation.—( Cheers.) He foresaw when he undertook to propose these measures the opts sition they would receive in that House—he foresaw the bit er hostility to which he should be subjected in the execmion of his public duty. He had explained the motives which led him to think that the public interest required an adjustment of the Catholic question—he foresaw the consequences of the acts to which they would inevitably lead - Er Lori saw that that ques !tion would probably lead to the breaking up of private frii nil ship. , He might have been in error as to the course which he pursued on that occasion, but he utterly denied having been actuated by impure or unworthy motives.—(Loud cheery.) That he wished to interfere with the settlement of this question by the Noble Lord who was absent to-night, that he wished to fortify himself by power, that he was influenced by any desire to court popularity—to gain distinction or advantage at any time, he declared that the imputation of motives so base would be as foul a calumny as vindictive spirit ever uttered. Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL the debate was adjourned. a great i nprovement, but he most observe that it had been occupied by an overwhelming military force, and great ex rtit n had been, made by he magistrates and local sentry. In this enutery the number of offences in 1845 was 'l4; and in the five months of the present year only 164. —( Hear, Lear. ) This was the total for the first five months of the present year, and supposing that the same increase of crime should go on for the remainder of the year that hal taken place in the five months, in that case in the five counties the number in 1846 would be 3,013, as compared with 2,026, the number of 1845.—( Loud cries of " Hear, bear.") In Leitrim the reduction had been most material, for while the number in 1845 . was 814, at the rate of the fi rs t fi ve mont h s o f th e p res ent year, the number in 1e46 would be only 414.—( Hear. hear.) Leaving offences of an insurrectionary character, he would pro ceed to those of an aggravated nature, such as homicides, firing at the person, aggravated assaults, assault and threatening life, and firing into dwellings ; and he would compare the offences of 1845 with the 'aloe crimes ie the first five mentes of the Present year. In the first five months of 1845, the homicides were 00; in the five months of the present year, 28 Cases lBs of Airing at the person in the first five mo, 40; in 1846, 41.

Taking th e eggre gate of offences he form', from the printed returns teem the Ist of January to the , nd of May, that the total of offences in ; all Ireland was 2,03. while of these 1,185 were in the five counties of Tipperary, Limerick, Clare, Roscommon, and I ei trim. Thus of the offences committed in all Ireland one helf of them were committed in these five counties containing cause osroccdai inue a ast s eryy the mwofel i means ns d th i st r elat i onea d isea s ed, sekdo s t atet:f dlandlord telolcipan a iuge n ,ase d ; belt one-sixth of the population.--( Hear.) They could not align The t tc a n u t i whole h n au o n o I tye b ei ng 1e s uchs t ate met t he o b l y remedy. Of the 1.1-8 offences, Tipperary had 2'6, Clare 171, Roscommon 3e3, Limerick 210, and Leitrim 138. Out of the, whole of these 1,188 offences there had been but 54 convictions.—( Hear, hear.) Let them conceive the melan clip!), spectacle it presented, and say whether some extraardi nary measure of this kind was not required. According to the returns of homicides or murders, he found in the five counties, that in February, 1846, the number of homicides or murders was 18, and 26 attempts at murder. In March there were 23 murders or homicides, and 14 attempts at murder. Was it possible they should not deal with such a state of things? No alteration in the law of landlord and tenant would come in operation to meet this state of things. Let them consider the class of parties that were the victims; they would end that they were persons in the humblest walks of life. (The Right Hon. Baronet here read an extract from the document in his hand, to the effect that persons in the poorest walks of life had been attacked.) This (he continued) was the class of persons that lost their lives in Ireland, and they might conceive what must be the amount of apprehension, anxiety, and fear, that prevailed, where murders were committed night after night. Admitting that the remedial measures proposed by Hon. Members on the other side of the House were cor rect, when there was no evidence of their being immediately brought into beneficial operation could they dispense with some temporary measure to meet the present state of things. It would not interfere with the operation of any temedial measure they might propose, while it would prevent the growth of crime. During the five years that a similar law was in operation,, it was found that the fear of it was sufficient on the minds of the people without bringing it into actual operation. From the consideration of these facts, he felt it his duty to press forward the second reading of the Bill. He knew not of anything more be had to say in vindication of . the Government, in proposing the present measure for putting 1 . ' -nd end to crime and to restore c on fid ence. H ere he was willing to dismiss the question, but he felt it imeeraiive to not'ce the speech made the last night of the debate by the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn (Lord G. Bentinclr)' He ( Sir R. Peel) deeply regretted, not only for his own sake, but for the character of th e H ouse, that during the present session for the first time a license of speech had been used which he felt assured would prove most injurious to the cause of free discussion. During a parliamentary life of 35 }ears he had not witnessed any exam ples of such proceedings.—( Hear, hear. ) He had sat in Par liament in tim• s of great excitement. and he believed it - lr-o:de to conduct debates in that House with every latitude conducive either to free discie sion or the interests of the public without thong anything to lower their characters as public' men. (Hear, hear.) But if the Noble Lords preceecing is to be considered parliamentary, it behoved him (Sir IL 'Peel) to say it must not be one•sided.—( Hear, hear, and - cheers. ) Ti.eir sense cf justice would induce them to give all parties the same freedom of speech that was claimed by these he had alluded to. —( Hear. hear.) They would not refuse to give those who were calumniated and maligned the same justice to defend as they had been attacked. He hoped they would maintain him in the course he was about to take, and he should endeavour to do nothing inconsistent with his position as a public man ; but should hestep beyond the rule of strict propriety. he hoped they would not forget the provo cation he had received.--t Hear, hear. )—He would endeavour not to forget, as he had ever remembered the position in which he was placed, as the Prime Minister of the ceuntry, charged wish the proposal and conducting of more important measures than had ever been submitted to Parliament by any public man.—(Hear, hear.) But there were bounds which ought to be respected by every one in such matters. The Noble Lord had said not merely that her Majesty's Government despaired at the ultimate sue- cess of carrying this measure, but he presumed to ray that they were not in earnest in passing this measure.—tHesr, eear.) The Noble Lord had given them his supp rt during the progress ' s of the measure, but be (Sir R. Peel) had not ' characterised them as " hired janissaries" tecause they had avowed their intention of now turning round and opposing the Bill. Gentlemen exercising their free right of judgment upon public matters had been denouneed by the Noble Lord as base senegades. The Noble Lerd had exercised his private right of varying his.vote according to his sense of public duty. He thought the Noble Lord . voted last year against restrictions sponfaetory labour, and voted for them this year, and without bong questioned by any one as to the purity of his motives.— ( Hear, hear.) He thought the Noble Lord was prepared to support by far the most absurd and impracticable measure, namely, the permission to import foreign grain into Ireland, but that permission was not to extend to England. —( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Noble Lord, he believed, voted for the first reading of this Bill, upon the ground that r o man could safely go to church--(Hear, hear)—that old women—(Laughter) —could not go to church without being ' subject to constant danger—that women with children in their 1 arms were assassinated—that there was no security for life and property ; and that he and his friends, without respect to party considerations, were determined that this licence should not be tolerated upon the pretence of this Bill being contrary to constitutional liberty. Well, the Noble Lord was prepared to vote against this Bill.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Noble Lord said he would withhold his confidence from the public, and he thought himself justified to vote against the measure; but if the Noble Lord claimed for himself the privilege of varying his vote, let him (Sir Robert Peel) tell him ' that he was bound to withhold from others such expressions as paid janissaries and renegades. —( Cheers.) Why, who were the men who were included as Janissaries?—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) looked upon them, and he did not name them because they were more parti cularly eminent, or more particularly entitled than others. He believed that every man who had given him support, had riven him that support 'rom pure and honourable motives. But was it ' o be tolerated that such Members as his eight II n. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or Lord Francis Eger.on, or Mr. Wilson Patten—( Cries of " Order, order. e) He begged pardon for mentioning names, but was it to be said that because they exercised that public right which every pubic matt might exercise, that such men were to be branded with the names of paid Janissaries and renegades?—( H ar, hear.) He did be lieve that such language was not only calculated to impede fie, discussion, but he believed that if such language was perm tied. it would create unmitmated disgust.—( Loud cheers.) Let him now proceed to notice the personal attack which the Noble Lord had made upon him. He was glad he di,- net act upon 1' the impulse of the moment, and immediately reply to thef attack made upon ' him. The Noble Lord referred to eircumetances - -which had now pss-ed, he beteved,! about 19 yeais,. and he (sir Robert Peel) being then ' in imperfect recollection of the exact state of the affair, re-1 jotted that he did not give au aeseer to those petsonar al ega- j eons tilt - he had an opportunity of ascertaining how far 'they i were well founded. That attack" was made in the pteseece 'of many members who were entering Parliament new for the first time, and who, perhaps, hail an imperfect recollection to' what the Noble Lord alluded, and he was particularly anxious that however hostile th e y m i g h t b e to his policy, thee s h ield! not remain under the impression that the Noble Lord's; sllegations were calculated to create. (Hear, hear. ) That particular attack to which he was referring, was couched in these wards—" fhe Noble Lord said that' he was old enough to remember, and remember with heart felt sorrow, that he (Sir R. Peel) chased and hunted an illus trious relative of his (Lord Bentinck) to death—(Hear, heat.) —on the ground that though he had changed his opinion on the question of Catholic emancipation, in 1827, he yet professed to hold the same opinion in 1829, and that he had communi cated his change of opinion to the Earl of Liverpool ; but that did not prevent him, in 1827, getting up in the same assembly and stating that he could not support a Government, of which the chief Minister was favourable to a ' measure, which, in two years afterwards, he (Sir R. Peel) intended to carry. That was the statement of the Noble Lord. The Noble Lord said that he very well recollected the time. No doubt he did, because he was at that time a Member of the House of Commons, and the Noble Lord heard all that passed. It was now nineteen years since that transaction oc curred, and seventeen years since the' speech was made in 1829, Well, now, be (Sir R. Peel) must say that he did re spect the feelings of the man who felt uneasy at the conduct that had chased his relative to death. The Noble Lord Abhorred those who tried to hunt and chase a public man who ,eos'acting in the performance of his public duty--( Hear, l ale:)' But if that man was chased and hunted to death as in this 0. , his feelings were to be respected in the highest ' ff ‘e r i ge . :. e e t ta ts t va i r re tt e t how came it that , entertaining those feelings, the (Sir Robert Peel) ever heard of them should be Noble Il e r l d e t t lr e s ee l 'eeets -- „,e Hear hear, and laughter.)

MALTA, JUNE 3.—Her Majesty's steamer Lncust left pore •m Friday e . veili .g last, having on board Commander Grav, , ,,; of her Alajesty's surveying service, and the daughter of Rear• Admiral Curtis. The Locust proceeds to Girgenti, whence Captain Graves will proceed to visit Graham's Shoal, r.nd ascertain, by soundings, if the late shkcks of earthquake - felt here have affected in i.ny manner that curi”us volcanic batik. The Locust will Oso go to Salerno, and there ascertain the difference of longitude between that place and Malta, for which purposes she has been provided with ten chronometer, by trilerof Government. The brig Ilarlt gum will proceed to• morrow to Corfu, where she is ordered to relieve the Orestes. The Jiff Tent packen and mail-boats have all an ived, and continued their several voyages to the places of their ulti- mate destination. Two dicers of this garrison, Lieut. Cockburn, of the 42d Regiment, and Lieut. Power, R.A , have been sentenced by Mr. Charles Harper, the sitting magistrate, to five days' imprisonment, for an assault committed b% them on th e I s t instant on a young m an name d Gergani, .on leaving the Opera House on Monda. last. The assault was must un callid tOr and unjustifiable, and seems to have been caused by an old piq :e against the prosecu'or. It is, however, pleasing to reflect that such events are of rare occurrence. On the arrival here yesterday of her Majesty's ste,mer Acheron from Marseilles, news of . her Maksty's having given birth to a Princess reached us. Ills Excellency the Governor immediately ordered the royal standard to be hois- ed at the Palace anti the public offices, and a royal salute was fired from Fort St. Angelo, the receiving-ship Ceylon, and her Majesty's brig Harlequin. Dr. Sabina Vella, one nf the magistrates of the judicial police. d ed on Sunday last, deeply and unive , sally regretted. The death of Vice-A. , miral Sir R. W. 01 way. K.O raises his heir, :11r. G.

And these young fashionables think tiieir papas and their uncles, who make protec tion speeches in Bond-street or the House of Com mons, v-ry p , triotic and wise men; and tout that wicked Sir Robert Peel, that odious Sir James Graham, and that dreadful revolutionary Lea gue , w i s h to destroy this rural happiness, and to shut up the dear creatures in union workhouses. And they further believe that all these stories, got up by Mr. Sheridan and t - ie Rev. Mr. Osborne and others, about labourers breaking stones, with cold potatoes in their bogs, and their wives and children with nothing to eat but cabbage leaves and horse be ans boiled together, and wages being only seven shillings a-week—are inventions of free traders to make "protection to native industry " unpopular, and to bring that worthy class, the country gentlemen, into contempt, and that it is all a cunningly devised scheme to inveigle these charming and interesting young men and women who dance so divinely and sing so charmingly in chorus, into horrid and pestilential factories, which they are never allowed to leave to retura to their dear country pavtunes.

This was an action (or, money paid for railway shares on account of the defendant. COZ Scuatt.—The market has been rather dull for British Plantation. although cheaper. early in the week. Barbadoes has' realised 54s 6d , fur tine Yellow, and 50s 6d to 51s 6d for mid. The defendant pleaded that he was never indebted, and that he had nevcr autlp , rised the purchase. Martin, with whom was N. T. Jones, conducted the case for the plaintffs; and Mr. Jervis appeared for the de tcndatit. It at.peared that the plaintiffs are brokers at Sheffield. and the defendant a file worker in the same place, and that on the 3d of Se t. tuber last .year the latter called upon the former, and instructed them to purch,se ten shares in the Manchester. and ,Southampt , n Railwry. In the course of the same' afternoon, howev,r, the son of the defendant called by his father's direction, and begged that the purchase should be for twenty instead of ten shares. On• that evening the plaintiffs wrote up to their agents, Messrs. Alsopp, to execute the commission. Those gentle men did so . an d b oug h t at 4/. - 7r. 6.1. premium, the deposit of 2/. being paid. The Messrs. Alsopp wrote by post on the 4th, stating that they had made the purchase, and the terms upon which it had been made.. This letter was received by the plaintiffs on the .s!h, and on that day they apprised the defendant of their having carried out his instructions. About the end of October the scrip was issued, and then the plaintiffs called upon the defendant to take up his twenty shares. Instead of doing this, however, he applied, through a friend of the name of Barker, for time, accompanied with,. a promi'.a to pay after iJhristmas. The plaietiffs acceded 'to the requt st. In the month of January, the defendant was called ppoufor the performance of his promise, but he then called upon. his friend Mr. Barker, and stared, that as many respectable men were repudiating' their bargains, - so should he in this particular transaction.. - Barker remonstrated with him upon the diabonourable character of such a proceeding, but without any effect. The plaintiffs, upon hearing this, wrote a letter to the defendant, threatening to post his name, un less he at once tame and took up his shales, for they were net,at that period aware that there was any remedy in the shape of an action at law. Millers, however, went on until the month of March last, when the plaintiffs sent a clerk of the name of ,Belcher to demand payment for the shares. The defendant on that occasion denied all knowledge of the plaintiffs and the shares, that he had ever had any trans actiors with ti em, or that he had anything to do with the shares. In consequence of this treatment the plaintiffs re solved.upen instituting the present proceedings. On behalf 'of the defendant it was contended that the shares were.the shares of the witness Barker, and that they had not been bought by the plaintiffs en account of the de fendant. This - poi. t, .toweVer, after the examination of Barker, the Learned Couusel for the defendant abandoned He also contended that an unreasonable time had elap-ed between the date of the instructions to pure! - age and the alleged purchase, inasmuch as that if there had been any in, structions at all, they had been given on the 15th of August, whilst it had,been admitted that.uo purchase had been made ' until the 4th of September. The son of-the, defendant was examined, but in his cross examinati .n he proved that he had c fled as recently as Sa turday last upon Mr. Unwin. of Sheffield, the plaintiffs' attorney, and offered a compromise li4r. Baron PAI4E, in leaving the case to the jury, said thee:the. first qm•sti -n was, whether the defendant had given any order for this purchase; of .that f.ct there could be no doubt after the tei,thnony of, his eown on ; next came the question whether it was material as to whether the instruc tions Were given nit the 15th. of August or the 3d of _Septem ber. Now, as to this it was clearly not material,. because in any of the subsequent corresp4idence which the. defendant had had with the plaintiff's be had never raised ainy such point as an ohjecti. it. • 'wired, he had never raised it at all u. rl Oe'ac top bad been brolight. These were matters of c nsickration fur the jury, and they must determine upon them. REFlNED. —Standard Lumps have been 68s d to 69s per cwt.

WA LSTAB r. &Pt wrrisw , an,E.—llui••ltTaNT DECISION AS To TN. , : LIABILITY OF PROVIsIeNAIb COMMITTEE LIEN T4O Luau . (.I.llk - F .Baron, at the si-tiug, .4 . the Court. proceeded.to .give, judgment in the above important case. Nis Lordship said that ads was an action of assumpsit, brought to recover a sum of money, • had and received ; to the first count the defendant pleaded non a:=sumpsit. The cause • was tri, d before him ( the Lord Chief Baron) on the 22d of February last, and was brought. against the defendant as one of the Provisions! Committee t f the Din et Birmiegliam and. Ox ford Railway. The Company was provisionally registered under the 7,h and Bth Vict , ria, the capital was to be 2,000,000/.,divided into Br,ooo shares of 25/ each, the deposit to be '2/, 12s. 6d. - On the 7th of October, 1845, die . plaintiti applied tor shares, and on the 18th of October she received her letter of allotment ; it was for thirty shares, and on which she paid as dept sit the sum of 78g. 15s. This letter was to have been. exchanged f r scrip. On. the 27th of October the plaintiff applied for the:scrip, when the was informed that the issuil-g of the scrip wouN take place on the 6th . of November. On the 12th the plaintiff applied again, when she was infOrmed by the secretary that the company did not intend to issue any, and that the affairs of the company would be wound up, and the mimics, after pay ment of the expenses, would be retorted. • In consequence of public confidence in the Share Market being shaken, the deposits or only 4.000 shares had been paid. On these grounds the plaintiff brooght her action against the deendant, as one of the pr c ainnittee. At the trial it was contended that, the defendant was not table. The jury, however, found a verdict for the plaintiff; leave being given for the defendant to move to enter a nensuit if the Court Should be of ..pinh)n the plaintiff had not made out her ease. Mr. Martin, in the last term, obtained a rule nisi for a Honsuit or a near : trial. As the whole matter had been very fully dis eu sed, it would not be necessary to advert to the a , guments of Counsel, further than to say that the Court fully of opitdon that they plaintiff i z ; entitled to. recover, and therefore cn the count for - • money had and received, the verdict must be entered for the plaintiff; aid for the d fendart on the first count. Ir. was • argtoA by the dt-foriliant's ,00nsel that there existed a quasi partnership. but such was not true, for there was no evidence or proof f that fact; and we are of, opinion tlitt no such partner.hip ever 'existed. With re spe6t to the point that the plaintiff had by her application for the scrip became itionitied with the G m. pang, we are of opinion that no scrip I, at ever been issued, tOr the scheme w,e an 7 b •rtive one, and that it had failed bet Ore any allotm, ht of ,crio was Madc. With re!rard to the p .int raised that the C topaoy was not at an end, the Court is fully of opinion that the answer of the secretary that the affairs of the Company were about to be wound up, was suffi. , dent evidence to go to th, jury, and they found the:. the Company was at an end: and we 'hick tbe• jury we'e well warranted in coming to that conclusion. The next consi deration for the Court is the claim which was made for 2s. fd. per shire towards - the defraying of the expenses of the Company. Now. that motfry was f -pecifle pur use, and until the scheme Wii , 3 fully carried out such a claim could not be maul tained, and therefi.re the plaint iffis entitled to recover that part back also. The judgment et the Court therefore is, that the verdict on all the pleas is to he en , er.-d for the 01,, t i n t HT, With the exception of the plea to the fir s t c oun t, which will be fir the d;Tetolant.

IRELAM). DUBLIN, JUNE 10.—The discussion of the Bird-hill slaughter in Parliament has not been without its effects. Captain Pollock, stipendiary magistrate at Nenagh, who re fused to take informations against Mr. Goring, the sub sheriff, has been directed by the Attorney •General to receive the informations, and the probability is that that functionary will be tried at the forthcoming assizes for the part he took in the slaughter at Bird-hill, on the 16th ult. The conduct of the stipendiary magistrate is very freely discussed in the local journals, and it certainly would appear, not without rea son, for a very cursory perusal of the evidence at the inquest. to say nothing of the finding of the coroner'm jury, would lead to the conclusion that the case required the fullest and most searching investigation. THE CONVICTS HAYS, RICE, AND FOGARTY. The above-named individuals, convicted of the murder of the late P. Clarke, Esq., and who were removed some time since to Dublin, preparatory to the decision of the Queen's Bench on the points raised by counsel against the indictment, arrived at Nenagh on Saturday evening. The Tipperary Vindicator says that the coach, on its arrival, was preceded and accompanied by a strong mounted police force, who escorted it from Tootnavara, the only part of the entire line from Dublin where it was thought there would have been any obstructi-n offered. On the pulling up of the coach in Nenagh, the crowds pressed so close that the mounted po'ict had to charge for the purpose of keeping them off. A covered car, which bad been in waiting, was . brought to the side of the coach, when the three prisoners and the turnkey, who travelled inside, were placed within it, and drove off to the county gaol under a strong escort of di-- mounted police, under the command of Head constable Hayes, who were placed in lines at each side of the street through_ which the car passed. Mr. Rock, Governor of the gaol, and four of the constabulary from Dublin, travelled on the outsb'e. It - Amongst the crowd on the occasion, several women, the immediate relatives of some of the prisoners, were anxiously waiting to see the unfortunate men, but were unable even to catch a glimpse of them. REIqtESENTATION OF CARLOW.—The Carlow gentry have refused to be represented by Mr Solicitor-General Brewster. The electors have called on Captain M'Clintock, Drumcln, and the gallant gc-ntleman has responded to the appeal. TIIF, POTATO CROP.—The Cork Examiner of Monday states that the disease of last year is beginning to ,- xhibit itself in the-growing crop. From many quarters, the Ezonz'n i:ays, we have advices which leave no doubt as to th, fact that the calamity of last year has again visited us. The disease has made its - appearance not on!y in Mase, in the inuncdiate vicinity of Cork. but in the neighhourho.id of Cl.)yne, Bally cottOn, Kinsale, Clonakilty, and Castlemartyr; while from Kerry they have the same accounts. This is a very ala,in ing announcement, but I am happy to state that the other provincial journals represent the growing potato crop as a most promising one. QUEEN'S BEN CU. THE QUEEN r. I)EFFY, PROPHIEThE OF THE NATIoN.— The Courc of Queen's fieitch, on applic.ition of Mr. Singley. Q.C., have fixed Wedne , day n xt for the trial of C. G. Duffy, proprietor of the Nation, f..r the publication of a sedi tious libel. The Court gave judgment in the ca-e of Butt r. Jack son, making the rule absolute without costs, on the under standing that the eve was not to he proceeded with; a most ingenious mode of - giving a tiiurnph to neither the learned ba rister nor the unearned attorney. TIIE SQUADE iN OF EVOLUTION.—The sailing of the squadron at Cork has been prstponey till this day. The officers on shore were ordered to be on board their respective ships at nine o'clock on Saturday morning, to proceed to sea.; but dispatches from the Admiralty, which arrived on . Friday evening, countermanded the order. On Monday a royal sa lute was fired by the batteries at Spike Island, Camden and Carlisle Forts, and from her Majesty's ships in the bar boue. SAILING OF THE ALBUM—Dispatches arrived at Cove on Saturday night, ordering H.M.S. Albion to proceed at once to sea ; Lisbon is said to be her destination. She was fully victualled during the night, and was towed out of harbour by the screw-steamer Rattler. SAILING OF THE QUEEN.—It is said that dispatches from the Admiralty were received on Monday night by the Com mander of the squa4ron, ordering the immediate sailing of the Queen, 110, for Lisbon. THE POISONING IN NORFOLK. NORWICH, THURSDAY MORNING.—The inquiry which has been going on the last few weeks respecting the appalling deaths by poisoning, in the village and neighbourhood of Happisburgh, before Mr. Pilgrim, the county coroner, was brought to a close last evening at Statham. The coroner arrived from Norwich about eleven o'clock, when the jury re-assembled at the Swan Inn. The proceed ings were resumed. The inquest room was much crowded. Colonel OPIcl,tlW chief constable of the county, was-present to watch tbajnquiry, as was also the Rev. W. Seeley, con nected wi*.Aesparish. Mr. G. Artflixth„ a surgeon, in Norwich. was called and sworn. He dhposed that he had been requested to analyse the contents of the stomachs of the child Maria t;reen and four others, the subject of inquiry, in conjunction with Mr. Goodwin, and as.isted thkEtlist: and 2d ot June by M-. (;loaves. He had mide.aP elbliorate , analysis, prolonged over m are than, eight days, tlKdetect,thelresence of arsenic in the remlins of the live Istarbeg.) .all ‘ _decomposition was ro'far advanced that no orgartilit,.auld' beidistinguisbesl.

Mr.- Firth said that it might be disposed cf by vomiting,Sce., but even then there was a great probability that a small portion would be found in the stomach. Some of the deceased might possibly have got rid ot poison . by vomiting.. Jean inquiry had taken place sooner after death, there; would have been a much better chance of discotering it. • . By the CORONER—There was considerable difficulty in ascertaining the presence of arsenic when the bodieSNvere in a decomposed state. All the coffins were sufficient to keep out the solid soil, except Lacey's. Could not tell - where the poi , 2on came from in the case of Lacey. He had many doubts on the subject, and the soil might possibly have been the source of the arsenic in Lacey's coffin. Had no doubt of the presence of arsenic there. The only doubt was as to where it came from. Had no other instance cf arsenic being found in the church-yard, but he would just observe that a French chemist had asserted that it was a common thing in burial-grounds. It might exist in the one. Could not say that the other three deceased did not die from arsenic. There was the highest probability of the other two children of Green dying from scarlet fever. The arsenic might have escaped if the coffins were decomposed, but they were not, except Maria Lacey's, which was only sound at the bottom. Mr. Clowes,' 'surgeon, and Mr. Charles Goodwin, surgeon, Norwich, who. assisted Mr. Firth in the analysis, also gave evidence at great length, and to the same effect. Mary Green, Robert Green, her husband, and Ann Pestle, were again called in and interrogated, but they made no material additions to their former testimony. There appearing no other witnesses in attendance to be examined, The CoaottEa. inquired of the officer sent down by the Secretary of State if the cases could be carried any further? The officer replied that he thought they could not. The CORONER then summed up. Thesjury consulted as t o th e i r verd i ct, and shortly found " The deceased, Maria Lacey and Maria Green, died from the affects of arsenic, but by whom administered there was no evidence to show." With regard to the deceased Martha Green ; William Green, and Hannah Peggs, the verdict was left open. The ()DRONER then thanked the jury for the patient and careful manner they bad gone through the inquiry, and dis chaiged them. It
