THE QUEEN OF SPAIN. A letter from Madrid of the 3d, in the Constitutionnel, (soutanes the following relative to the attempt on the life of the Queen of Spain:—.. Merino, on stabbing the Queen, cried ' Die, wretch 1' and attempted to repeat his blow, but was prevented by the Maj,irdomo, Count de Pino-Hermoso, who had his fingers severely cut. The King drew his to sword defend her Majesty. The Mar ques% de Povar, who was carrying the Princess on a cushion, was so terrified that she let her fall, and had a nervous attack. The assassin had celebrated mass just before going to the Palace. When, after his arrest, the Queen's chaplain told him he had done an infamous thing, he said, The infamous are those who from morning to evening sing the praises of the masters of this house l' The celebrated nun, Patrocinio, who is held in great respect for her piety, and from having all the wounds of our Saviour on her person, predicted some time ago that her Majesty would get through her accouchement, but would not live.' This prophecy had been called to mind with alarm. The wound of her Majesty is said to be more serious than had been at first believed; it is described by the physi cians to be seven or eight lines in length; it is supposed free -, the length of the dagger that it must be more than tVF.:; inches in depth. When the assassin was being onir'eyed to the prison of Saladero the people would have torn him to pieces if he had not been protected by the troops." The Espana gives the following biographical details of the perpetrator of the murderous attack on the Queen of Spain;—" His name is Martin Merino, and he was born at Arnedo, in the province of Logrono. He is 63 years of age, tall, of a ruddy complexion, with white hair, and appears of robust constitution. He was a Franciscan monk of the reformed order of San Diego, but, not being able to endure the life of a cloister, de manded and obtained his secularisation in 1821. It is said that at that period he gave repeated proofs of his political fanaticism little in accord with his sacerdotal character, and it is added that in a riot which took place be appeared with a poignard in one hand and the con stitution in the other, and uttering threats against King Ferdinand. For these and similar acts he did not con sider himself in safety in Spain when the constitutional regime was overthrown; and he emigrated to France, where he obtained a situation in a parish, and occupied himself besides in giving lessons in Spanish. Lie succeeded in amassing a considerable sum of monoy by means which have never been satisfactorily explained. Although, in 1832, Queen Christina opened the gates of the country to all unfortunate exiles, Merino did not return into Spain until 1841. On arriving at Madrid he was attached to the parish of St. Sebas tian, where he remained until 1844. when he was removed to that of San Milian. Having plenty of money, he lent it out to his poorer brethren at usurious interest. He was led by this into repeated altercations, and was once soundly beaten. Everything that is known of him provers him to be of an overbearing and quarrel some character. He affected a degree of learning which he did not possess, and frequently maintained the most eccentric arguments. He hail no real friends. He lived on a second floor in the Calle del Triunfo. He every day fre quented the reading-room of Sr. Philippe, where he read all the journals with great avidity. Since the coup d'etat of the 2d December he was remarked to be at times very reserved, and at others very excited; and, from some incoherent words which occasionally escaped him, it was thought that he was meditating some guilty project." The assassin is nearly six feet high, stout-bodied, dry, wrinkled countenance, very bright eyes, low forehead, white hair. He left his convent in 1820. He his a small annuity. He is said to be a good classical scholar. It appears that he had sung mass, and confessed and shroven several penitents on the day he committed the crime. During his examine ti,n, every time that a witness was introduced, or any person entered bearing any order of knighthood, be pointed invidioasly and sneeringly at his crosses or clasps. The moderados attempt to show that be is a Republican, but all authentic accounts agree in stating that he was an emigrant in times of liberal government, in 1820. He was a captain in Don Carlos's army, and came over to the Queen in the celebrated convention of Vergara. This news is copied from the Gazeta This newspaper has been seized in order that the pro vinces may not know that the wretch is a Carlist. The Government wish it to be believed that he is a Socialist. Many priests have been insulted to-day in the streets. BELGIUM. The Belgian newspapers) contain accounts of inunda tions caused by the recent heavy and continued rains in all parts of the kingdom. On the afternoon of the 6Lh the environs of Brussels were invaded by the floods, and at the same time two large breaches were made in the southern railway—one of them at the Truis Chan deliers, where the line was similarly damaged by the great flood of 1850. The Paris trains were stopped at Loth, where the second breach had oc curre •, and the passengers forwarded by diligence. The goods train from Brussels ran off the line near Loth and was overturned in the waters. A similar accident betel the goods train from Braioe-ie-Comte. Between the Porte de Flandre and the southern railroad the country was laid entirely under water. The environs of Mons were completely submerged, the southern suburbs to the depth of several leer. At Liege the Meuse had swelled so as to overflow the quays. At Verviers, the Verdre was so high that fears were entertained for the bridge of Chaudfontaine. At Namur and Maestricht, the waters were rising a menac ing height. GERMANY. In a sitting of the Germanic Diet, the Commissioners of Austria and Prussia communicated two memoirs of Count Leiningen and of Muhden as to the constitution of Electoral Hesse. One of them relates to the re-esta blishment of order in the electorate, and the other to the future constitution. The two commissioners having entered into communi cations on the subject with the Hessian Government, a project of a constitution has been dra wn up; the com missioned have approved of it, and it has been commu nicated to the Diet. The Austrian Lloyd states that Pata.cki, the Hunga rian who was arrested at Rendsburg on a charge of at tempting to seduce some Hungarian regiments from their allegiance to the Emperor, and of being an agent of Kossuth and Mazzini, and who, upon these charges, had been sentenced to death by an Austrian court-mar tial on the 30th ult., was executed on the sth inst. On the same day a person, named Goslar, wasexecuted,upon a charge of high treason, by conspiring to bring about a revolution. THE LONDON GAZETTE, Feb 10. FOREIGN-OFFICE, FEB. 6, 1852.

Mr. KEOGH thought it of importance that Ireland should he provided for in the English Reform Bill, and he should be glad to know if the Government intended :hat it should be. Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied in the negative. Ire [and would be provided tor in a distinct Bill. LAW OF SETTLEMENT. In reply to Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Mr. BAINES said it was bighly important that same improvement should be made in the present law of set tlamunt, but in the present state of public business there was little hope of his having an opportunity of bringing in a Bill for that purpose. Should it turn out, however, that there would be time to pass such a Bill this 00811011, he should be most happy to bring it in.— (Hear, bear.) fie regretted that the state of business as now arranged did not admit of his giving a more satisfactory answer. EAST INDIA. COMPANY'S CHARTER. I❑ reply to Viscount JOCELYN, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that Mr. Fox Maule would state in a few days when he proposed to bring in a Bill to renew the Ea-t India Company's Charter. NOTICES OF MOTION.

JURY ACT OF IRELAND. In reply to Mr. WHITESIDE. The A'T'TORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND stated that it was intended to amend and improve the provisions of the Jury Act of Ireland, and a Bill would be shortly brought in for that purp,ie. EXVULSION OF BRITISH SUBJECTS FROM AUSTRIA. Mr. C. ANSTEY said that several British subjects had bee❑ expelled from Pesth, because they professed Pro testantism, and he wished to know whether Government intended to obtain some satisfaction for this gross viola tion of international law, seeing that these parties had not abused any of the laws under which they lived? Lord J. RUSSELL said he should be prepared to answer the question on Thursday. BOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. THOMAS COLLINS wished to ask the Noble Lord the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, at whose expense the surveys made for the Board of Health and the Government, for a supply of water to the metropolis, had been made, and by whom the Par liamentary expenses relating thereto had been paid; and what had been the total expense hitherto incurred? Lard SEYMOUR said 674/. had been expended by the Board of Health in surveys, and 6,6001. in Parlia mentary expenses. Mr. T. COLLINS wished to ask, if such expenses had been paid out of national funds, whether there was any provision in the Government Water Bill fur the repayment, by the people of the metropolis, of the money so expendel? Lord SEYMOUR said it had been paid out of the National Exchequer. TEN ANT RIGHT. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better securing and regulating the custom of tenant right, as practised in the province of Ulster, and to secure compensation to improving tenants who may not make claim under the said custom, and to limit the power of eviction in certain cases. This, he said, was called a tenant-right question, but he proposed, if the House gave him leave to bring in the Bill, ample provision would be made in it for se curing the rights of landlords. The grievances com plained of by the tenants of Ireland had tong existed and were of no alight character.—(Hear, hear.) They in flicted great injustice upon the tenant, and many evils were produced by the present system which would not exist at all if a Bill like this were adopted. It could not be said that the nature of these grievances was not known and fully understood by the Legislature, because the matter had often been inquired into by Committees and commissions; and the House must by this time be well informed upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) The present system gave no impetus to industry; from the in security in which tenants lived now they were reluctant to make extensive improvements in the soil, and the re sult was bad cultivation and the non-payment of rents. — (Hear.) Then, to aggravate these evils, the landlords had adopted the practice of consolidatin g the farms, and the people had been reduced to such a state of misery and fright that they were glad of an opportunity to take wing to America or some other hospitable land that was willing to receive them.—(Hear, hear.) He did not wish to revive the old cry against the landlord class, but after the examples and warnings they had had of late, he thought they could no longer with hold the concession of tenant right to the yeomanry of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The objects of this Bill were two; first, it was to give security by law to the property created by the industry of the tenant; and, secondly, it would enable the out-going tenant to claim compensation for all improvements he may have accom plished on his farm in the course of his tenantry. The object of the Bill had often been approved of by Lord Stanley, and to show the importance of adopting it, he need only mention that his own union contained 93,000 acres of land, which had been improved by the capital and labour of the tenants to the extent of 81. ; and therefore, under the present system, there was at this moment more than 700,000/. of property belonging to the tenantry that was wholly at the mercy, whim, will, or caprice of the land lord.—(Hear, hear.) The object, then, of his Bill was to meet such cases as that, and if the Legislature would only pass its provisions into a law, the soil of Ireland would become more fruitful, and its cultivators would be made happy and contented.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH seconded the motion. Sir G. GREY said, as the House had on several occa sions allowed the Hon. Member to lay on the table such a Bill as he now proposed, he should offer no opposition to its being brotight in, but if its provisions were the same as those of the former Bill, the Hon. Member must expect to encounter a Government opposition on the se cond reading. He admitted many of the facts which the Hon. Member had stated, while he conceded to him that the tenantry of Ireland laboured under great and mani fold evils and grievances ; but he was afraid the remedy which the ion. Gentleman proposed would be totally inadequate to meet the case.—(Hear.) Some reference had been made to the recent outrages committed iu one or two parts of Ireland, but he denied that those out rages were the result of the bad cultivation of the land, or the want of tenant right, but rather of a lawless con federation to bring about a reduction of rents.—(Hear, hear.) Government was bound to put down that system of terrorism by the strong arm of the law, and the House and the country might depend upon it, no concession would be made to those who sought to attain extravagant ends by the force of threats and outrages.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GRATTAN hoped the discussion of this thet ques tion would not be stopped short to - night , but i t would be gone into fully, and without amoment'sreferred delay.—(Hear, hear.) No doubt the outrages to by the Right Hon. Secretary of State for the Home Department were not traceable directly to the t a h b e s y en w c e e r o e f , tenant right in Ireland, but in some measure for had the landlords abstained fromadraivihnegtteoru tenants, like beasts, from off the lan d, plea But that would have prevailed amongst the fteethlieni; was beside the question; what they was at 5 loss to was the subject of tenant right, a n d fwbepereeonow discussing understand why it was to be trheeuesxedp.ensSeuerfelhyisalabmoaunr who bad improved an estate at the compensation when and capital was entitled to arender his holding. Well, his landlord made him l whine d this Bill demanded, then, that was and if Government we really anxious to restore the he was at a loss to understand ca m lle a d ny upo o n f to th o o p e rco i s i e s prosperity of Ire land , why they should feeHl themse l vese attributed it.—(Hear, hear.) which preva iled in Ireland to absenteeism; fi ne estates were destroyed by the neglect of their proprieto rs , f or the large landlords had too often abandoned their duty and left their tenantry to the mercy of middlemen, and The consequence was the tenantry became careless of easistence, and banded themselves against law and order. --(Hear.) Hence arose the dreadful evictions which b a d so recently occurred, and which had brought so much discredit upon thelandlorda of Ireland generally. It was, however, the absentees who were responsible for the consequences, and unless the House wished to wit ness a recurrence of such terrible scenes, they would not hesitate to give their consent to some measure of this sort.—(Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to attack the absentee landlords of Ireland as the cause of much of the evil under which that country was sufferings and recommended that the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Buckingham, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Marq uis sold tlissoof Lansdowne, and Lord Palmer s t on , should be all . up." For his part, he would p u t th e m up to auction, and get rid of them.

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the Secretary of Bankrupts'-office Abolition Bill was read a second time. MUNICIYAL CORPORATIONS. On the motion of Lord GRAN WORTH, the Municipal Corporations Acts Amendments Bill was read a second time. LEGISLATION IN THE HOUSE. Lord LYNDHURST made some observations on the subject of legislation in the House. in continuation of those he made yesterday, and moved the first reading of a Bill for enabling the House of Lords to take up measures, without commencing them anew, which were sent down from the other House, bat were not passed in conse quence of the late period of the session. The Earl of DERBY hoped that the Bill, coming as it did from such a high authority as his Noble and Learned Friend, would receive more favourable considera tion in the House of Commons than it did last session. Lord CAMPBELL did not intend to oppose the first reading of the Bill, hut he cautioned the House against supposing that the measure was free from difficulty. He was not disposed to concur entirely in the propriety of originating Bids in the House of Lords, because he thought the practice would give rise to a very mischie vous doctrine if carried to too great an extent. Lord BEAUMONT protested against the principle laid down by the Secretary for the Colonies, that all measures of importance should essentially originate in the House of Commons. Ho was himself a great Liberal, but not such a Democrat as to sanction such a proposition. I t was o f great advantage to the co untry that l eg i s l at i on s h ou ld on many subjects originate in this House, in consequence of their Lordships being better acquainted with them than the representatives below. He inquired of the Noble Earl (Earl Grey) whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce any measures of great public importance before Easter? _ Eirl GREY protested against the accuracy of the Noble Lord's version of what he said yesterday. What he then stated, and was now prepared to repeat, was, that from his experience of the progress of Parliamen- tary business, h e cons id ere d that a variety, better and the great majority of subj ects , were more likely to - be legis lated upon, i n t h e first instance in the other H o use of Parliament then in that. But though he t-ntertained that opinion, he believed there were measures of a particular class, such for example as those proposed with regard to legal reform, which could be origi nated with greater advantage in the House of Lords. In answer to the Noble Lord's question, he said he was not a.vare that any other important measures beyond those given notice of by the Lord Chancellor would be brought into that House betore Easter. Lord LANSDOWNE thought it was immaterial whether Government measures were introduced first into this, or the House of Commons, but he reprobated the assertion that the House of Lords was simply to be considered as a House of revision. After some further consideration, the Bill was read a first time. COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM having intimated his intention before long of bringing in the County Courts Extension Bill, which had passed both Houses last session, Lord CRANWORTH desired to know whether it would be the Bill as introduced by his Noble and Learned Friend, or as passed by the House of Com mons? For the difference was rather important, seeing that the Bill originally consisted of 15 clauses, of which 13 had been struck out, and of t he remain i n g two ono had the word " not" inserted , w hich of course totally altered its meaning— (A laugh)—and 17 new clauses were introduced.—(Laughter.) Lord BROUGHAM said it was true the House of Commons had made alterations in the form of the Bill, but had adopted its principle and object (which was the attaching to the courts an equitable jurisdiction, or a t all events enabling the judges to act as Masters in Char.- eery), and the House had only altered the mode of car rying out the principle of the measure.—(A laugh.) The) chief provision inserted by the Commons. and which had been omitted by their Lordships, was the clause in favour of which he entertained a strong opinion, not withstanding it had been disapproved of by their Lord. ships, enabling barristers to practise in the County Courts without the intervention of attorneys, a provision which it was of importance to recollect would merely re peal an enactment comparatively modern, a n d w hi c h had altered the ancient practice and original right and privilege of the bar. NEW ZEALAND. I❑ reply to a question from the Duke of NEW CASTLE, Earl GREY stated that the New Zealand Bill would be introduced into the House of Commons as soon as the state of business there would give a reasonable prospect of its proceeding. The Bill was prepared, but various points in it were not finally settled, because he had reason to believe from the last dispatches received, that tho Go vernment would soon be in possession of additional in formation which would have a considerable bearing upon the question. It was, however, not his intenti,in to wait until that information was received, if an oppor tunity presented itself previously of proceeding with the Bill in the other House. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. Lord RODEN described the dreadful outrages which had been committed in Monaghan, Ar megb, and Down, not only at night but in open day, upon the peaceably-disposed of her Majesty's subjects, and inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to propose any measures to arrest the wide-spread evil, the common law having been found to be insufficient? Lord LANSDOWNE said the Government were fully alive to the importance of the duty imposed upon them to repress these outrages, and they had for that purpose increased the constabulary, and adopted other measures which had been recommended by the local magistrates. I t Wa s with sorrow he was compelled to add, that in some instances the law had failed, but he was not dispesd to say that extraordinary measures ought to be adopted until all the means of repression be the hands of the Go vernment had been tried. Information had been re ceived within the last few days from parties concerned the Government would yet be attained. in the outrages and others which led to the hope that theThoebjgatroqiu. is of LONDONDERRY had been, during last year, for a considerable time in Ireland, and he re gretted to say thus in the northern districts, where for merly the population was industrious and obedient, there had been some lamentable instances of insubordination and murder. Much of that, he feared, was owing to the agitation that had been going on with regard to the question of what was called tenant right. In the north of Ireland there had been a nucleus formed of these murder associations; but a period had now arrived when theyown case, feeling. It WaS the t enant cr y that had distu rbed the imagin a tions of the p eop l e , and he could refer to his attac hed tenantry in Ireland, and the ass ociations that had been fo rmed w ith reference to that su b j ect had taken must e, fur look he ie hadto the general expression o f p o p ular until lately the most orderly a nd very much the character of that Ribbon association or organimation, for the purpose of compelling the landlords t o reduce their rents. There was, certainly , a diminished f ee ling of respect for their landlords on the part of f ed feeling So great was the intimidation of some parts of Ireland that agents who performed their duty were not able to insure their lives. The Marquis of WESTMEA.TH recommended the Government to reflect that that outburst of the Ribbon system was one that had been going o n for years, and was not a sudden outbreak, while the remedy was only calculated to act temporarily. When the Government was about to prepare a measure, they should consider that the Ribbon conspiracy involved the great bulk of the population against their wishes and their choice, and therefore it was necessary that very stringent measures should be adopted. lie would observe that in the pre sent condition of Ireland, the district in which the dis turbances took place was saddled with the expense of the additional police force; but these offences were gene rally perpetrated by strangers, and the proposition of the Government was consequently an a dditional infliction upon these people. It was a question with him whether that portion of the Act ought not to be repealed. The Noble Marquis had suggested that the landlords should co-operate with the Government in endeavouring to re store tranquillity. It ought to be distinctly understood lest the idea should go abroad that the Noble Marquis was reading a lecture to the landlords, that these parties were made to suffer for carrying out the must ordinary provisions of the low in cases where for years and years no rent bad been paid. Ile hope d the Noble Mar q uis's object in ih at respect would not be misunderstood. The Marquis of LANSDUWNE said the view he wished to convey was, that the landlords should co. operate with the Government by taking care that the instigators of these proceedings should not derive, nor appear to derive, any benefit from it; that they should have no pretence for saying that the reduction of rent would be accomplished by the measures of outrage to which they resorted. The Earl of RODEN regretted the Government was not able to announce any measure for the enforcement of the law in Ireland. He should be happy to find that the Noble Marquis was right, and that he himself was wrong. Unless the Government took some measures to uproot that conspiracy they would do no good. lie re juiced at the explanation that had just been elicited from the Noble Marquis, otherwise a false impression might go abroad. He trusted also that the landlords would use every exertion to restore confidence to the people; and he trusted above all that they would not not he in timidated, and he wished his voice would reach all of them, but that they would remain at their posts and in the discharge of their duty, even at the ris k of their lives.—(ilear, hear.) He trusted that whatever means might be suggested would be effectu il; but he s hould prefer postponing any further observations until he saw how things went on in Ireland. He fr eel y confessei from what he had heard and saw, he feared that would d s would grow worse, a nd that the Government wt and hereafter regret that they did no t take more promp efficient measures. ns would bo The Earl o f DYSART hoped some mea devised to to these tenant -league meetings. put a stop The c onversa tion then dropped, and their Lordships adjourned.
