"The iron rails, chairs, atid sleepers, for the whole of the hip and branches, have been purchased, and are in course of delivery at Lynn. " lihe consequent outlay has entailed upon the directors the necessity of making a second call of 51. per share on the proprietors. " The Bills for authorising the extension lines, sanctioned at , the' special general meeting of shareholders, held on the 31st of December last, have been presented to Parliament, and are now before the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. " The Bill for amalgamatiag this Company , with the Lynn and Derettam, and Ely and Inintingdon Railway Companies, hail also been introduced into the House of Commons. As, however, the amalgamation was not agreed upon until the 31st of December last, the Parliamentary notices for the Bill could not be given until after the time prescribed by the standing orders had expired. The Standing Orders Committee have therefore necessarily reported to the House this no o n-- creme pliance with their regulations, but there is every hope that, ai be Bill affects no interests but those of the pqprietors in the respective companies, the Select Com mittee, to wain the Bill has been referred, will recommend that the standing orders be in this case dispensed with." ENGINEER'S REPORT.

The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held im mediately alter that of the Lynn and Ely Company; H. C. Lacy, Esq., in the chair, when a report similar in substance to the 'Lynn and Ely was agreed to. The following report from the engineer was also agreed to : Gentlemen,—ln reporting to y„ou the progress made i?t the works, I must in the first place state to you that , in con sequence o f the extreme demand, during the autumn of last year, for engineering draughtsmen, and assistants, I was unable, until after the 30th of November, to form a suffi cient staff for properly commencing operations.

ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAIL WAY.—(THIS DAY.) The proprietors of this Company also assembled at the Lefidon,Tavern, at two o'clock ; Henry C. Lacy, Esq., in the ehair. The,report read by the SECRETARY was to the following effect:— • "'ln meeting the proprietors on this occasion, the directors beg to refer to the engineer's report for a statement of the progiast aide ifi theiine. The iron rails, chairs, and sleepers for the' whole of the dine have been purchased, and are in course of delivery at Lynn. " The BM for authorising the extension line sanctioned at the spatial general meeting of the shareholders, held on the at of December last, has been presented to Parliament, and MIS passed the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. " The Bill for amalgamating this Company with the Lynn and Ely, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, has also been introduced into the House of Commons. As, how ever, the amalgamation was not agreed upon until the 31st of December last, the Parliamentary notices for the Bill could nob ire given until after the time prescribed by the etancliug orders had expired. The Standing Orders' Com mittee have therefore necessarily reported to the House this non-compliance with their regulations; but there is every 'reason to hope that, as the Bill affects no interests but those of the proprietors in the respective Companies, the Select Committee, to whom the Bill has been referred, will recom mend Slat the standing orders be in this case dispensed with. 0 Interest on the deposit and call, at the rate of Si. 10s. per cent. per annum, will be paid forthwith to the proprietors whose names stand this day on the Company's register." The cash !accounts appended to the report showed the receipts, to the 31 st . of January, to have been 43 , 204 /. 19s. M., Which, excepting a balance in the banker's hands, 17,607/.185., had been expended. The following report of the engineer was also submitted. " Gentlemen,- 1 he railway commences about one mile from the Ely station of the Eastern Counties Railway, by which a considerable saving is effected in the length of rail way tope made ; this arrangement is the result of agree ment with the Eastern Counties Company. From this junction to Huntingdon the line is staked out, and the plans of the property to be purchased, with the exception of a por tion in the neighbourhood of the Old West River, and the River Ouse at . Overcote, are in the hands of the solicitors. The reason *by the plans of the property in the parts just referred to have not been furnished is, that by the Act of Parlia naent the Railway Company cannot proceed to execute the work until the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford level is first obtained to the mode of crossing those rivers, whidli has not yet been received, and the quantity of land depends upon their decision. "Ike design and details of the various works upon the line, including the stations, are in a very advanced state, and there is nothing to prevent the contracts being adver tised but the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford level before mentioned, not being yet received. " I have also to state that since the permanent levels were taken, I have made an amended section of the line, which d e ii a t e s considerably beyond the limits allowed biParlia meet, unlev sanctioned by the Board of Tr;de ; this section was sent te%e laid before them on Novenher 19, and they did not issue their certificate of approval until the 30th of -last month. This amendment of the section effects a saving of upwards of 200,000 cubic yards of earthwork. " I Tag much regret that so Much time has been lost in cemmerfcmg the works, but yon arewell aware of the late un precedented demand forengineeraand draftsmen, and until the day for deposing plans with the clerks-of the peace (the Nth of November) was passed, it was impossible to obtain any assistance. It is somewhat bett er now, although ex freinegy difficult. " Sinee the above was written I have received a letter from the solicitor to the Corporation of the Bedford level, requiring additional plans to be sent, which I put in hand immediately, and they shall be transmitted to him in the least possible time; after which, a meeting will be arranged ou .0 spot, which I will attend for the purpose of finally pe sg the business.—l have the honour to be, your most boedient servant, (Signed) "Manchester, Feb. 17th, 1646," " GEO.

At the west or upper end of the lough, a pier has been constructed at this place for landing materials, iron rails, coals for the steam-boats, and locomo tive engines, &c. There is also here an extensive wharf and yard for manufacturing waggons, &c. ; 700 tons of coals have already been landed at this pier, and a large cargo is now being discharged. At Derry much has been done in building flats, tugs, &c. ; twenty-six of the former are completely ready, each capable of carrying seventy tons ; five steam tugs are in a state of forwardness, two of them are ready for launching, and only await the arrival of the engines, which are daily expected. From the financial statement it appears that the expenses of obtaining the Act of Incorporation was only 6,427/. Is.

The report having been moved and adopted, the sum of 900/. was voted for the services of the directors, and it was moved that 60/. be given to the auditors. On this last reso lution two amendments were moved, one that the vote be deferred till the next meeting, and the other that the sum be 501. Both, however, were lost, and the original motion was carried.

Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The first half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held at one o'clock this:day, at the Lon don Tavern, for the transastion of the ordinary business of the Company; W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P.,Chairman. The usual fonnal business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, after which The Secretary, Mr. J. MARRINER, read the report, which stated that it had been found necessary, since the passing of the Act, to make a deviation from the cOurse of the proposed railway at Carnarvon for the better a ccommodation of the inhabitants of that town, and also an alteration in the level of this line at the point of junction with the Chester and Holy head Railway, at Bangor. The requisite measures had been consequently adopted, to obtain in the present session the authority of Parliament for this purpose. The whole of the line, as finally determined upon, had been surveyed, and a contract had been arranged with Messrs. Jackson and Co. for the execution of the works between Bangor and Car narvon, which would ensure that portion of the railway being opened in the month of July next year. The balance sheet, made up to the 31st of January, showed an available balance of 32,824/. 12s. ld. The report and accounts were then received and adopted. The following gentlemen, who retired from office by rota tion, were then re- elected :—W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P., Sir W. Wynn, F. J. Walker Jones, Esq., William Chadwick, 'Xs+, James Ramsay, Esq., T. B. Simpson, Esq., J. J. Kin lea, Esq., Stephen Phillips, Esq., Alexander Ress, Esq. J. Lowdon, Esq., of Doughty-street, was re-elected in the place of Mr. Carver; and B. Edgington, Esq., in the room of Wm. Bland, Esq., who had retired from the direction. Mr. James Pyke and Mr. Charles Hill were elected to fill the office of auditors for the ensuing year. Sir JOHN RF.NNIE said that the proposed deviations would not exceed a mile and a quarter, and that the cost, which could not have been forseen at the time they obtained the Act, would be about 12,000/. A resolution, forfeiting 160 shares which had not been taken up, was then passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and directors, and suitably acknowledged, the meeting separated.

WEXFORD, CARLOW, AND DUBLIN JUNCTION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) The CHAIR:wax said that if the Committee decided that the allegation was proved, they must consider that Mr. Curtis's statement was utterly false, while it was perfectly consistent to suppose that the statement of Mr. Curtis was true, and that Mr. Brennan was mistaken. The Committee decided that the allegation was not proved. The next allegation was that another petitioner, Mrs. Per ceval, had received no notice except on Sunday, the ;Bth 01 December. Mrs. Perceval was called to prove that she was served per sonally with the notice on the day in question. Mr. Curtis was again called to prove that be left the notice on Saturday, but that on Sunday he called and left the form of assent with Mrs: Perceval. Mrs. Perceval was recalled, and said that she received both the notice and the form of assent from Mr. Curtis on Sunday. The CHAIRMAN said that it was impossible that Mrs. Per ceval eould be mistaken, but that Mr. Curtis might possibly be mistaken, having so many notices to serve. The Com mittee, therefore, decided that the allegation was proved. The third allegation was that Mary Ann Moran, another petitioner, had received no notice except on Sunday. A sister of the petitioner was called upon to prove that she received the notice from a strange gentleman, on the 28th December. Mr. Curtis said that he served the notice on a week day but could not say when. He thought it was on Monday, the 29th December, but was not sure, as he kept no dated memo randa of the servive of notices. Mr. T. W. O'Brien, a person engaged in the office of the solicitor to an opposing line, said, that on Sunday, the 28th of December, he saw a person going to the house of Miss Moran, and hand to her sister, who came to the door, a paper, which he supposed to be a notice. He went to the house as soon as the gentleman was gone to request Miss Moran to allow him to see the paper, and he found that it was a notice from the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junc tion Railway Company. In cross examination, he said that he went out for the purpose of seeing whether any person was serving notices from this company. He beileved that the person whom he saw serving the notice on Miss Moran was Mr. Curtis. The committee decided that this allegation was proved. The petition of Sarah Ann Ganbiere and Michael Kernan was then taken. This petition stated that the name of the petitioner Sarah Ann Gambiere was not inserted in the books of reference, or plans, as lessee of the land marked 18 to 29, including 18a and 24a, although she was the lessee of that land. A witness eves called in support of this petition, but could not point out the property on the plan, and when some of the numbers in question were pointed out to him, he could not say that they referred to the same property as that in which Miss Gaubiere is lessee. He could notsay what was the nature of Miss Gaubiere interest in the property. The committee considered the allegation not proved. It was alleged that Michael Kernan was the lessee of cer tain property, namely, the fields No. 94, 95, and 97. A witness, who was acquainted with the locality, was called to prove that the fields in question were held on lease by Michael Kernan. Mr. Curtis proved that in a conversation between himself and Michael Kernan, the latter pointed out the fields in question as belonging to another person. Mr. Hu r, the agent for the petitioners, withdrew the al legation, saying that it was clearly a mistake. The petition of Joseph Carley was next taken. It was alleged that there was a public road between the fields No. 3 and No. 4, in the parish of Killcorin, which was not named in the books of reference, or represented in the plans. A person who formerly held the office of surveyor in the parish of Killcorin, was called in support of the alle gation, but as he could not say positively that the road was in the position described in the petition the allegation fell to the ground. It was alleged that a certain road was described in the book of reference as the property of the Earl of Arran, whereas it was a public road, but on refering to the book of reference it was found that it was not so marked, but that the preceding and following numbers were marked as the property of the Earl, and that there was no name of any owner given. Mr. Smith, the agent for the Bill, stated that there were several roads in the parish of Killcorin, which were said, in the book of reference, to be the property of the Earl of Arran, and which, it was alleged by the petitioner, were highway roads, unde the jurisdiction of the grand jury. Now he (Mr. Smith) thought lie could prove that they were at that time the property of the Earl Arran ; and he could also prove that although they were not de scribed as public highways in the book of reference, yet, nevertheless, the clerk of the grand jury had been served with notices. After a long and desultory conversation, A witness was called to prove that notices were served on the clerk of the grand jury in reference to these roads. But on cross-examination, he admitted that they did not con tain exact copies of the entries in the book of reference, as in the book of reference either Lord Arran was described as owner, or there was no owner named, while in the extracts given in the noti ce th e gran d j ur y w ere named as the owners. report l' i e n u r l e l f u e mAN rence otbosertvheodse d that the in which heClnoni there Committee intended wereh to o names of owners or occupiers, that the standing orders were t n h e a t rth eo ei m ,eprt p e l ta l i e itn d ion W p r i o t o f h pe Herbert rty w a Hoare s desc was next taken.

Several of the allegations were admitted to be made under a mistake, and were withdrawn. The last allegation was that Mary Preston was represented in the book, pf reference to b e the occu p ier of certain pro pertwae, edmitte trustee, d to be the oa,-;e, but it appeared that Mr. of which .4 1 0.-c 4nactual der Proston was the owner.

The object of the promoters of this line is to construct a railway from the Glasgow, Rarrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway, near Pollockshaws, to the town of Strathaven. The proposed capital to be faised is 350,0001., and the esti mated cost the same amount. Engineer, Neil Robson; Par liamentary agent, G. H. Long, Esq. ; and the local solicitors are Campbell and Tennents, of Glasgow. The length of linr is 16 miles. Mr. DEANS appeared against the Bill on behalf of several petitioners, and the first objection raised was that the miles and furlongs were not correctly marked on the plan, and did not agree with thq sections thereof. This allegation was not sustained. In the next allegation, that the fifteenth mile was one chain shorter than the fourteenth, the Committee decided on reserving their judgment. The next objection, that a portion of the said intended railway was described as passing through thepar ish o f Straven, whil6 there was no such parish, and that the plan and book of reference in this case did not agree, as in the former ; the said parish was described as the parish of An nandale At the suggestion of the Committee, Mr. Deans withdrew this objection, as Straven was a contraction of Strathaven, which was a parish, and through which the railway was proposed to be carried. Another objection, that a certain cutting, described to be forty feet, was, in point of fact, only thirteen feet. Mr. LONG took took an objection to this point, inasmuch As Mr. Fergusson, the petitioner, was not intereste6, as he was not owner of that part of the land, where the said cutting was to take place, The Committee considered the objection invalid, but stated that the standing orders were complied with, in reference to the said cutting. Mr. DEANS then proceeded to the next allegation, that a field, marked No. 37, on the plan, was not truly described in the book of reference, being stated to be the property James Allen, whereas the said field was the property of another person, to whom no notice had been given. Mr. LONG called Mr. Gebby, a writer, who proved that he proceeded to the ground, and was informed that the field was the property of a Mr. Hamilton, and he drew up the legal document accordingly. Mr. DEANS contended that the standing orders were not complied with, as the best means were not taken to ascer tain the real owner of the field in question. Standing orders complied with. The important objection to this Bill, that one-tenth was not subscribed of the estimated cost, although it was paid up on the subscription contract, the Committee held to be good, and reported that the standing orders were not complied with in consequence. THE SUN LONDON, TIITTRSWAY FVENING, FEBRUARY 26 1 1846. GLASGOW HAR.nou:R. GRAND 31TATCTION TEILIVLINIVS. The length of this line is one and a half miles, estimated cost 110,0001. Engineer, Mr. Gale; Parliamentary agent, Mr: Lang; solicitor, Mr. Leech. This line was opposed on behalf of Sir John Maxwell, by Mr. Lock, and several ob jections of a technical nature were not entertained; but they decided that the standing orders were not complied with, inasmuch as no notice was given of the line of railway to the harbour of Glasgow. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. This Committee resumed its sittings at twelve, this day. THE KILLARNEY JUNCTION AND THE GREAT SOUTH WESTERN (CORK EXTENSION) RAIL WAY (IRELAND) BILLS, which had been adjourned from a previous day for want of witnesses, were disposed of, the Committee reporting that the companies had complied with the standing orders. THE LIFFEY EXTENSION AND LONGFORD DEVIATION RAILWAY. The capital of this line is 30,000/., and its length is about two miles. The object is to connect the Midland Great Western with the Docks and River Liffey. The solicitors are Messrs. Young, Lamb, and Malley. The Committee reported that the standing orders had not been complied with, but that they should be suspended, and the Company allowed to proceed. The following lines were adjourned until Friday, in conse quence of the non-attendance of witnesses :—The Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction ; the Midland Great Western (Mullingar to Galway); the Longford and Sligo Extension. The Committee reported that the company fur the Mallow and Fermoy Railway had complied with the standing orders, and the Bill was accordingly passed. MPERJAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at the usual hour. --.... THE — GOVERNMENT MEASURE. The Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting a petition from some town, the name of which we did not hear, it the county of Warwick, said that the petitioners were interested in the subject of the ribbon manufacture, the old and only established staple trade of the county. They viewed with great alarm the proposals likely to be made by Government in another place, and as they were in fa vour of protection themselves they desired protection to the agriculture of the country. He (the DuCe of Richmond) was very happy to present such a petition, because it showed that the operatives of the country were expressing their disapprobation of the violent changes sought to be introduced by the Government. He considered that the result of the late elections gave sufficient proof that the farmers were up and in earnest, and that should the measure, intro duced in another place, come up to that House, their Lordships would be justified, in the exercise of constitional right, to place themselves between the violent faction which urged on these charges and the best inte rests of the country. THE WAR IN INDIA. The Earl of RIPON laid upon the table certain papers from the seat of war in India. The Duke of RICIIMOSD wished to ask the Noble Lord (and in doing so, he felt deep gratitude for the bravery and devotion exhibited by the army in India), whether it was by desire that the Governor-General had accepted a secondary position in the Indian army. It might be very natural for Sir H. Hardinge, an old soldier, to wish to be in the thick of the battle, but he (the Duke of Richmond) felt that a divided authority might be prejudicial to the interests of the country and the honour of the British arms. The Earl of RIPON said that due attention would be given by her Majesty's Government to the suggestion of the Noble Duke. CORN LAWS. A NOBLE LORD presented a petition from several parishes occupying land in the county of Leitrim against any alteration in the present corn•laws. RAILWAYS. _ . Earl GREY gave notice that he would postpone hi! notice of motion respecting railways until some day nexl week. PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. The Duke of RICHMOND presented fifty-four pe titions from parishes in Derbyshire, in favour of pro tection to agriculture and against the measures pro pesed by the Government. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he had to put two questions to the Noble Earl (the Secretary for Ireland) regarding the execution of Brian Seery. The first question was whether there had been a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, as stated, prior to the man's execution, and the second question was whe ther, if there had been such a deputation, it could be con sidered an improper proceeding of those forming that deputation? It did not follow that what would be con sidered improper in this country should be held to be wrong in Ireland. lie would state to their Lordships the hardships the Commission at Westmeath had to encounter from those opposed to it. A cer tain portion of the press was violently opposed to the Government Commission and a great feeling was created against their proceedings. All this arose out of a conspiracy, a conspiracy involving almost all the lower population in Ireland from the age of sixteen to twenty-five. After the excitement which had taken place, after the manner in which the com mission was said to be got up—it was almost strange the jury had not given way. He was perfectly sure the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland would have acted with that modera tion and firmness that was necessary in looking into the circumstances of that case, and would not be swayed by any intelligence from any body of men in de ciding on the fate of Seery. He however would say that if any minister of the Crown had so acted, that it was in the present state of that country most unfortunate. The observations or, expressions which had fallen from a certain individual were most unusual, because they must know that in that county there were persons who gladly took hold of any circumstances whatever to hold up in ind.viduals to public admonition by misrepresenting their conduct. Now he would show their Lordships how justifiable was the conduct of such indviduals, by stating what were the acts of the Roman Catholic clergy. He would tell their Lordships that before the Commissioners came down to Westmeath, the Roman Catholic Bishop gave out, in the presence of a large congrega tion, that Bryan Seery was innocent, and with that kind of announcement which was very well understood in that country by many who were afraid to give expression to their opinions. After his conviction, a letter of a most extraordinary, and he should say of an indecent nature, appeared with the name of the Romish bishop of that diocese attached to it. That letter condemned the course adopted by the counsel for the prosecution—the Government—and all the proceedings of that trial throughout, and the object was to excite the people to believe that the unfortunate man was sacrificed, and that he was innocent. When the Government had determined that the law in that re gard should take its course, the people were called upon from the altar, to stay away from the execution, and persons were posted on the road to watch those who dared to disobey that mandate. Under these circum stances, which no one regretted more than he did, and what, he was sorry to say, could not occur in any country but Ireland, and which were not unusual there, he should wish that those Noble Lords, and those per sons who were anxious to bring in some other measures to accompany the one recently brought in Sy the Go vernment, would take this matter into their serious consideration, and would reflect that (as had been re marked a few evenings back), by a Noble Marquis, whom he did notnow see in place, that the supremacy of the law must first be established, security given to life and property, and the country be freed from the threats bul lying and insinuations of the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland. This interference to which he alluded, before the trial, after the trial, and during the execution, must be prevented and_u Under otn h ser e thought that he had said enough on the subject to open people's these circumstances,ees to necessitythe hew i s o h f e such o b e interference. inform ed w te h n e a t n h t e — r w an h yde ette p r u t t h a a tin had t o deput aitatiwonwednotnfrtolinie Westmeath, and whether under the peculiar ar&r v cumstances of that the part of that wascaopurnotcreye,diitngwas harsh on considered by e d n ep tt u h t a a t ti s o u n e . h The Earl of St. GERMANS said that it was not his intention to follow the Noble Marquis into any discus sion on the state of Ireland, but before he proceeded to answer the questions put by the Noble Marquis, lie must enter his protest, if the phrase were not unparlia mentary, against the calumnious assertion, that the youths of Ireland were banded together in confe deracy against the peace cf Ireland ; he also protested against the assertion made against the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, as a body. He (Earl St. Germans) must any that many of those gentlement were eminent for their piety and charity, and their attention to the religious and social interests of the people. He would now proceed to answer the questions which the Noble Marquis had placed upon the table; and he could not do better he thought than read an extract from a letter written by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State. The Lord-Lieutenant said that neither the language of the deputation nor that of any individual Member of it—aud he (Earl of St. Ger mans) could give the names of the Members composing it but he did not think it advisable to do so—had the slightest influence on his mind or swayed in the smallest his judgment in the case of Bryan Seery. The prin cipal object of the deputation was to represent the lawless state of Roscommon." not of Westmeath, " with a view of getting the Government to enter into more stringent measures for the pacification of that country." He anderstood that they had stated that any leniency to Brian Seery would be looked upon as evidencing the weakness of the Government, and keep alive that sanguinary spirit which was so fatal to the peace cf the country. He apprehended that that extract would fully satisfy the questions of the Noble Marquis. With regard to the third question he was certain that the persons who composed that deputation were actuated solely by a sense of duty in making that representation; but at the same time he (Earl St. Germans) was ready to acknowledge that the proceeding was altogether an unusual one, and he was not aware that in this country such a representation was ever made by a deputation to the head of the Executive Government. He did not wish to say anything harsh, but he had no hesitation in pronouncing this a most unusual course on the part of that deputation. The Marquis of WESTMEATH wished to explain, and said he was glad he had given the Noble Earl an opporunity of making the statement he had done. If it was not unparliamentary he (the Marquis of West meath) would say that the expressions he had used, which the Noble arl had objected to, were intended to be applied to the :youth in those, countries who were under the iron servitude of the Ribbon ;conspiracy.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad that the Noble Earl had withdrawn the expression " harsh," which had been the cause of his (the Marquis of Westmeath's) attention being called to the matter, and his giving the notice be had done. The Earl ST. GERMANS was glad that the qualify ing of the expression had so far satisfied the Noble Mar quis; but he (Earl St. Germans) could not agree with the declaration that the whole youth of the country were affected in the manner described. He was not justified n applying such a charge to the whole youth of the country. The Earl of WESTMEATH said he would back his opinion against that of the Noble Earl in this respect. Lord STORTON, in a very inaudible tone of voice, defended the Roman Catholics from the charges of thr Noble Marquis. It was a hard thing to say that because a juror was a Catholic his oath was invalid. From the statement of the Noble Marquis, the House would be led to believe that the jury to which he had alluded were Catholics, but he (Lord Stourton) was informed that they were exclusively Protestants. It was hard to say that a priest or a bishop of the Catholic religion must be prevented from giving proper advice to his people from the altars of his church. For his own part he believed that, notwithstanding all the calumnies which had been heaped upon the priests of the Catholic Church, they were still the best guardians and comfort ers of the people of Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM protested against such a subject as the present being converted into a religious question— (Hear, hear)—ar.d he did not think that any one did any service to the great and sacred cause of the due administration of justice who attempted to ask whether a jury was Catholic or Protestant, because such discussions tended to poison the administration of jus tice at its source.—(Cheers.) He (Lord Brougham) also hoped and trusted that the Noble Lord who had spoken last was well grounded in his opinion, that the Catholic priests were the best friends and administrators of jus tice to the people of Ireland, and he (Lord Brougham) hoped and trusted that they would long continue to be so. He (Lord Brougham) thought they would deserve well of their country if they would immediately give up the reprehensible and abominable practice of addressing political lectures to the public from their pulpits. —(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Be they Protestants or Catholics, they desecrated the altar when they prostrated it to such uses.—(Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the administration of justice was interfered with by the priests of either of these denominations ; but if they did interfere with its administration, the law might punish them. The duty of the Judge would be ill-discharged if he did not punish any such interference, whether by a Catholic or Protestant. The Marquis of WESTMEATH appealed to their Lordships whether he had stated that he generally mistrusted Roman Catholic jurors. In fact, a great portion of the business of Ireland was transacted by a portion of that community, and he had seen Roman Catholic jurors perform their duties as well as those of the Protestant religion.—(Hear, hear.) In the case of Seery th jury was not whDlly Protestant!' Lord STOURTON again defended the Catholic priest hood from the charge of fomeuting disturbauces in Ire land, They were indebted to them for much of the peace and prosperity which prevailed in that country, and they ought not therefore to be assailed in that and the other House o f Parliament, in;the way they bad been. COUNTY WORKS PRESEMTMENTS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a second time. Lord MOUNTEAGLE expressed his intention of reviewing the•subject in the next stage of the Bill. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND). This Bill was read a third time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at five minutes before Four. NEW MEMBER.—ERROR IN THE WRIT FOR SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. It having been discovered that an error had been made in the writ issued for the county of South Nottingham, the Speaker called the attention of the House to the tact, and the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to be in attendance, in order to amend the writ. The Clerk to the Crown then appeared at the table. Mr. Stafford, the returning officer was next called, and examined by the Speaker with reference to the election, and in reply to the questions of the Right Hon. Gentle man, stated that he was present at the election for South Nottinghamshire, and that it was held at the usual place for returning Members to Parliament. The name of the Member was Richard Henry Howard Vyse. The writ having been amended, Mr. Stafford O'Brien and another Hon. Gentleman introduced the Hon. Member, who took the usual oaths, and was admitted to his seat for South Nottinghamshire. RAILWAY BILLS. The following Railway Bills were read a second time, and were ordered to be committed, viz.:— Oldham District. Gloucester and Dean Forest. Ayrshire and Galloway. Leeds and Bradford (Junction Line at Bradford). I RAILWAYS. Mr. P. BUTLER presented petitions from Limerick, and other places, in favour of the Great Munster Rail way. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition from Wolver hampton in favour of the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company , . LABOURERS IN FACTORIES. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented:a petition in favour of' the Ten Hours' Bill. Ile also presented a petition from six factory girls, in the employ of Messrs. Baxter and Brothers, manufacturers, of Dundee. The petitioners e u r b s j , e a c n t. d i p i r e a ( y m ed r. th t e un H c o o u ni se be t ) o b m e a li k e e ve s d om th e a i t n t q h u e i c ry ire t ta on . complained of ill-treatment at the ha n d s o f th e i r em pthloe3S stances of the case were these. The Messrs. Baxters had it appeared increased the wages of some of their workers, and these girls made a demand for a similar increase, which was refused them. They did not in consequence attend their work one afternoon, and when they re turned on the following morning, the six of them (the youngest being only 13 years of age) were locked up tin. six hours and then taken before a magistrate (but previously he might state that they had been com pelled to sign a paper making certain admissions), when they were sentenced to ten days imprisonment, with hard labour. They, therefore, prayed the House to make inquiry into the matter, with a view to remedy this grievance. Dr. BOW RING presented five petitions from Bolton in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. THE CORN-LAWS. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition, signed by 5,000 of the inhabitants of Bath, in favour of the present pro posal of her Majesty's Government with respect to the free admission of foreign grain. DUTY ON COPPER ORE. Mr. J. PARKER presented a petition from the Cutlers' Company, Sheffield, praying the House to re peal the duty on copper ore. THE CORN-LAWS. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from several inhabitants of Westmoreland in favour of free trade. Mr. 0. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the occupiers of land in the county of Chester in favour of the present corn-laws. Mr. W. MILES presented a petition to a similar effect. Mr. MARK PHILIPS presented a petition from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in which the peti tioners stated that in consequence of the length of the present debate on the corn-laws, great embarrassment resulted to every branch of trade in the district of Lan cashire, and throughout the kingdom generally ; an d they therefore prayed the House to come to as speedy a decision as possible on this question. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES. Captain PECIIELL presented a petition, signed by seven hundred of the inhabitants of Brighton, praying for a free pardon for Frost, Williams, and Jones. The Hon. and Gallant Member said he had to inform the House that the parties signing the petition were most respectable, and had affixed their places of residence to their names. The [lon. Member also presented another petition from Mrs. Mary Shuttleworth, of Man chester. square, praying the House to interfere in her behalf with the Commissioners of the Income-tax, who had, in assessing her property in the funds, neglected to pay over to her the residue, thereby occasioning her great distress, so much so that her g oods bad b een seized for debt. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition, signed by upwards of nine thousand of the inhabitants of Roch dale, iu favour of the Tea Hours' Factory Dill. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY. Mr. WARD begged leave to withdraw the notice of motion which he gave, namely, " That the petition of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company (presented 24th February), with respect to their Bill (No. 5), be taken into consideration, and that the parties have leave to proceed with their Bill." He considered that it was better that a decision of a Com mittee should be erroneous than that it should be impugned. The standing orders were the protect ing barrier of private interests. 'But when he had heard that in this case, the Committee, themselves were dtvided in the proportion of five to four on the subject mater of this petition. He looked upon the decision of the Committe as as a virtual abolition of the standing orders; Such decision giving the power to any indivi dual landowner to throw out any private bill. Since had presented thepetition, however, he had been covinced that the partiesto the petition, had themselves not done all that they should have done, and that they had been guilty of 'aches, and that they had actually not surveyed the lands of those who were their friends, although they might have done so before the 30th of November. He, therefore, considered that the case had fallen through, and he now begged to withdraw the motion which stood upon the paper in his name.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. Sir ROBERT PEEL rose to present a petition from the shipowners of Tynemouth, signed by 108 shipowners, representing 260 shins. The petition stated that the in terests of the petirl ,iers would be extremely benefited by a reduction on the duties of timber. He be lieved that the petition was signed by almost all the shipowners of Tynemouth, with the exception of three or four. The Right Hon. Baronet here sat down, but rose again immediately, and said that the Hon. Member for Durham had moved that a petition pre sented from the shipowners of the port of London should be printed, with the view of founding a motion npon Several petitions had been presented from other places, which petitions took views entirely adverse from those of the shipowners of London, and it could not be against the rules of the House to allow those petitions to be printed also. He therefore begged leave to move that a petition lately presented from the shipowners of Dun dee, and which was quite in conformity with the one presented from the shipowners of London, should be printed.—(Hear, hear.) He also begged leave to move that a letter from George Frederick Young, Esq., the chairman of the General Shipowners Society, on the subject of the timber duties and colonial-built ships should likewise ho printed. NOTICES OF MOTION.—BAZILIAN NUNS. Mr. COOPER gave notice, that on the sth of March he should move for copies of dispatches which had been sent by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, relative to the persecution inflicted on the Brazilian nuns at Minsk. Mr. MITCHELL wished to put a question to the Right Hon., Baronet at the head of the Government. He wished to know if it was the intention of the Government, in passing the present measure, if they intended to all that part of the tariff which effected smaller articles should stand over until the corn question was settled. to proceed as rapidly as he could with the other articles of the tariff, he certainly could not foretel to what length the discussion upon the question would reach. Mr. MITCHELL said his reason for asking was to learn if the other articles mentioned in the tariff could not be allowed to be proceeded with, before the corn question was settled. That he feared would give rise to discussion of a month or six weeks duration. Sir R. PEEL, in reply, stated that it was his inten tion to proceed with the corn question. CHANNEL ISLANDS. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to a sk what measures had been taken, according to the promise made last session by the Government, with reference to the administra tion of justice relative to the Channel Islands. Sir JAMES GRAHAM stated that a committee had been appointed about a month since, and they had not yet recived their report. CROWN PROSECUTIONS. Mr. REDDINGTON moved for a return of all Crown prosecutions in which bills have been sent up to the grand jury for each county iu Ireland, at each Lent and Summer Assizes in the years 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846 respectively, giving the names of the parties ac cused, the nature of the crime with which they were charged, and the proceedings in each case, i. e. whether the bill of indictment was found a true bill or ignored ; whethef the party accused was tried, and at what time ; and the result of the trial, whether in conviction, or acquittal, or the disagreement of the jury. Return of all memorials or applications for the aid of the civil or military power in each county in Irelaud for the same period, specifying the dates thereof respectively, and the names of the me morialists in each case. Return of the number of sti pendiary magistrates and constabulary appointed to any district in Ireland, within the said period, in consequence of such applications or memorials.—Agreed to. MIDLETON POOR-LAW UNION. Mr. O'CONNELL moved " That the petition from the Midleton Poor-law Union (presented 23d February), be printed /with the votes."—Agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped that although the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Go vernment had intimated very properly that he intended to proceed with the Corn Bill in the first instance to the exclusion of other articles in the tariff, yet there was one which he trusted would be excepted from this general rule, that was Indian maize. This was an article of very great importance, and likely to contribute very largely to the support of the poorer classes of the community. He trusted, therefore, the Right Hon. Baronet would not include this in the same category with the other articles of the tariff. Sir R. PEEL to this inquiry made no reply. ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the motion that the order of the day should be read for the resumption of the adjourned debate, Mr. ROEBUCK said that before the order of the day was reed for the resumption of the adjourned debate, be begged to ask of the Honourable Gentle man opposite what time this debate was likely to be brought to a conclusion; and the reason for his put ting this question was, because he had found that an Hon. Gentleman had consumed two hours and a half the other night, of valuable time of the House, in a disquisition which had to do with anything and everything but the subject of the de bate. He thought that this was not the way in which the valuable time of the House ought to be wasted. Certainly it was not the way in which to pro mote the character of the House for decency, order, or anything that was great. For two mortal hours and a half had the Hon. Gentleman gone on to rake up by gone speeches of Members upon the Treasury bench from newspapers and all the other receptables of public matters in order to establish a point, which, after all, had no thing in the world to do with the subject of the debate. He trusted that the party represented by the Gentlemen on the Opposition benches were not reduced to the ex tremity of using language which was at the same time inappropriate and abusive, and that they would not sub stitute for argument that which, however it might tend to intimidate, could never convince, and which was equally unworthy of their cause, and of the respect which was due to that House. He (Mr. Roebuck) felt himself reduced to the use of periphrases by the rules of the House, instead'of using those expressions with which he felt it right to characterize this proceeding ; but the difficulty was not created by him, but by that person on the other side of the House, by whom it had been adopted.—(Cries of " Order, order," and con fusion on the protection benches.) Do you cry order, said the Hon. Member for Bath, when such conduct is reprobated, why did not you cry order when the violence was committed? He feared that the cause which was to Ise bolstered up by such fanatical catering was but badly based on facts. For two mortal hours and a half thal individual had consumed the time of the House in a tirade, which was, only after all, an expression. of his own epinion. And what was that opinion worth ? He would take the rule of his own profession, and ask what any man in the country would give for that opi nion ? Why, not a guinea, nor half-a-guinea, nor half-a cross n, nor a shilling ; not a penny, nor half-a-farthing. And yet this was the way that honourable gentlemen presumed to trifle with the timeof the House. He thought that this was not the way in which to conduct the debate on a great question or likely to increase the character of the House in the country. He did hope that the Hon. Gentlemen opposite would have something better than this to propose ; and if the division were not to be taken to night that they! would lay before the House matter worthy of consideration, and substitute something like argument in the place of vulgar hatred, expressed in violent and vulgar language.—(Opposition cheers.) Sir R. INGLIS felt that the observations of the Hon. Member for Bath had been both injudicious and uncalled for. He accused him of erroneous representations—he accused him of unnecessary opprobrium—he accused him of instituting a most inconvenenient prece dent, and, still more of having taken advantage of the absence of the Honourable Member to whom he referred, which were equally inapplicable and improper. He (Sir R. Inglis) only rose for the purpose of protest ing against the use of personalities, which frequently were indulged in to too great an extent ; and he hoped that when the Hon. Gentleman next addressed the House he would be more guarded in the use of his ob servations.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BRYANT agreed with Honourable Baronet that the present was not the time for entering into a discus sion on the ground of personality. But at the same time he was anxious to say a few words as regarded the attack made by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough on a friend of his, Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the Anti-Corn-law Lean•ue.—(Hear, hear.) The Hoe. Member for Knaresborough had asserted that what he put forward as fact was true, and what he stated as in ference might be relied on; but his statements and his inferences might all be taken as utterly untrue.— (Bear, hear, and Oh, oh.) Mr. Wilson had never called a meeting of the starch manufacturers: he never presided at a meeting of the kind, nor was he a party in a do putotion that waited on the Government to obtain protection for their manufacture. The starch manu facturers wanted no protection ; and Mr. Wilson would he the last man to associate him self with any deputation for such a purpose.— He could tell the Hon. Member for Knaresborough that there was one misfortune against which he ever had to contend, and that was, that his statements were never susceptible of proof.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COLQUHOUN said he felt certain that if the Hon. Meinber for Knaresborough happened to be in his place, he doubted not he would not shrink from the proof of his assertions : and he should say that he did not think it fair to attack that houourable Gentleman in his absence, as he doubted not he could defend every state ment and assertion made by him.—(Cries of " Oh, oh 1" from the opposite Members.) Lord MORPETH and Dr. BOWRING lose at the same moment, but the former gave way to the latter who said he conceived that H on . M em b ers a t th a t side of the House had great reason to complain of the course pur sued by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in this debate. Some very serious charges had been made by that Hon. Member against a gentleman, who was re markable alike for the kindness of his heart, and the benevolence of his disposition. He meant his friend, Mr. Henry Ashwerth--(Hear, hear)—who had been desig nated by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough, as a person capable of acts of cold-blooded atrocity, and as such he had been processionimed before this House.— (Hear.) Now he (Dr. Bowring) had had some oppor tuntties of knowing Mr. Ashworth, and of the state of things that existed in the vicinity of Bolton a few years ago, upon which he would wish to make a few observa tions ; but previous to doing so, he had written notes to the Noble Lord the Member for Newark, and another Hon. Member, in order to ascertain from themselves whether they were prepared to make any charges against his friend. They were not here at present but they begged to say that the charges of the Honourable Member for Knaresborough were altogether untrue ; and he begged to add, that if any Member of that House should, more than another,, be scrupulous about making statements in this House, with out proofs to sustain them, it was the Hon. Member for Knaresborough—(Hear, hear)—and it would be well for him if his assertions were characterised by less boldness. Captain VIVIAN said he rose for the purpose not of prilonging this discussion, but of closing it until to-mor row night, when he hoped to see the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in his place. Lord MORPETH said that the discussion that had taken place with reference to the statement made by the Hon. Member for Knareborougb, viz. that the operatives were compelled by their masters to sign petitions in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws, he felt it necessary to say a few words. Al the time that this statement was made, he had in his pocket a letter from the workmen of a factory called the Union Mill, which letter had been written in consequence of some reports of a similar tendency with the assertion of the Honourable Member having been circulated in the House. The letter stated that not only were the workmen under no compulsion of the kind, but they were even more anxious than their employers for the repeal of the corn-laws. He had also received other letters of a similar tendency. An HoN. MEMBER (whose name we could not learn) moved for a new writ for the borough of Bridport in room of Mr. Bailey Cochrane, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. BRIGHT presented several petitions from Staly bridge and other places in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. ROSS rose to speak, but in consequencs of the confusion occasioned by Honourable Members leav ing th• House he was inaudible in the gallery. He would, for one moment allude to the speech of the Hon. member for Northamptonshire. That speech was characterised by strength and elegance of diction, but the arguments it contained were fallacious. The cardinal proposition of that speech was that the labourer was entitled to protection. The Hon. Member said that property was entitled to protection, and as the labour of the labourer was his property, ergo, he was entitled to protection. That was a perfect fallacy, for how could they, for one moment, com pare property in lands and houses to the property of the labourer, which was his labour only ? COMMONS' SUMMARY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock, and after doing so called the attention of the House to a discrepancy between the writ and the return for South Nottinghamshire, which was amended by the Clerk of the Crown at the table, after which Captain WYSE took the oaths and his seat :for the southern division of that county in the room of Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Sevel•al railway Bills were forwarded a stage, and a great number of petitions were present in favour and against the ministerial free-trade measure. Petitions 'were also presented iii favour of the pardon of Frost, Williams, and Jones. Mr. WARD withdrew the notice he had given to move that the petition of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayre Railway Company, with respect to their bill, be taken into consideration, and that the parties have leave to proceed with their Bill. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from Tynemouth in 'favbur of the reduction of the timber duties proposed by the Government. A message from the Lords brought up several Bills, which were read a first time'and ordered to be read a second time. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question, said that after the decision of the House with regard to the cern-l aw ques ti on , he proposed to go on as rapidly as possible with the other articles of the tariff, but he intended that the House should dispose of the corn-law question first. Lord J. RussEwhoped at the same time that the subject of Indian corn would be taken into consideration. On the motion of Mr. O'CoNNELr, the petition from the Middleton Poor-law Union was ordered to be printed with the votes. On the questioa for tho resumption of the debate on the corn importation measures, _ _ Mr. ROEBUCK hoped, if another night was to be devoted to the debate, the House would not be again occupied for two hours And a half with such a speech as that which they bad heard the night before last. He hoped, for the honour of the House and the Protectionists, that their time would be occu pied by arguments, and not by personal invectives. Sir R. Nous thought that the Hon. Member for Bath was the last person who ought to be so mealy mouthed as to deprecate personalities. Mr. BRIGHT stated, without hesitation, that all that had been said by the Honourable Member for Knaresborough, with respect to Mr. WILSON, was totally without foundation. The starch manufacturers wished no pro tection; and if they did, Mr. WiLsort would be the last to support it. It was unfortunate that in all the speeches of the Hon. Member for Knaresborough, he made assertions, but never proved them. After some observations from Mr. CoLquoux, Dr. Bow. RING, and Captain VIVIAN, - _ Load Mom. Era read a letter to the House from the operatives of Yorkshire, denying the statement that they were compelled to sign petitions in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws, and stating that the operatives were more anxious for the carrying of that measure than the Ministers.' A new writ was ordered for the borough of Brid port, in the room of Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who since the election had accepted the office of her Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. Ross then resumed the adjourned debate on the Go vernment free-trade measures, which he most warmly sup ported. (LEFT SPBAKING.) LATEST PRICES OF SHARES.

Of all the countries in Europe, Spain is the on° 1.4 which the ancient, classical, and once universal system of robbing on the highway exists the most u nchae,t l With us these things have been much altered; S p ain what England was sixty years ago, IN ith Hounslow -he° a and Finchley-common; what Italy was very lately, an m ay be again next . Robbery in other ear countries has yielded to increased population, to more rapid and more frequent ante tube munication. The distances in Spain are very great, L e , high roads are few, and are carried through long let, of uncultivated plains, "dehesas," through deserted toe% dispeopled districts "desplobados," a term more conitua. in Spain, as in the East, than village is ill Eng la : o Andalusia is the most dangerous province, and it always so. This arises from the nature of the counu i; from being the last scene of the Moorish struggle, O a 13° 0 f from being in the vicinity of Gibraltar, the great foa7n. smuggling, which prepares the raw materials for a g o . ; ditti. These evils, which are abated by internal and the continued exertions of the authorities, jecreart'4 with troubled times, which, as the tempest Cell' f° t he the stormy petrel, rouses into dangerous action., a . worst portions of society, and creates a sort of e on., c a . chexia, which can Only be put down by peace, an d strong settled Government—blessings which, ales,: ip n o long been denied to unhappy Spain •, meanwl' i- o rde handbook of Spain can be complete, without giviq Some t he account of the different classes and organisation ° 1 el, robber system—the alphabet and rudiments ef'e tr,a ling conversation while on the road. The antineitY; the system which has been detailed in the Quar teig eni o view (cxxii. 9.) to which those about to visit Serrje de Ronda, and the wild country between Se-0 and Granada, will do well to refer, especialli regards " Jose Maria," wao so long he ld ,, sill disputed rule in those parts, and whose 1 11113 ,:p t it long remain in the mouths of those who se i'n about robbers. First and foremost come the " luatc)-eoi the robbers on a large scale ; they are a regul srV i cell ganised band from eight to fourteen in numbe r ' n ol armed and mounted, and entirely under the Col e- c i 0 of one leader. These are the most formidabl e ; fooor they seldom attack any travellers, except witi l s o de whelming forces, and under circumstances of now il o isl' and surprise, when every thing is in their favo ur, r ante is generally useless, and can only lead t he s o); accidents : it is better to submit at once W t":b o je mons, which will take no denial, of " boo Those " bona a tierra," down, mouth to the earth. 5 t he who are provided with such a sum of money t he) robbers think, according to their class of life , thatus" a; el ought to carry about them, are very rare/ i ii De a frank, confident, and good humoured surrenu er . a bet; rally, not only prevents any bad treatineu"tios: secures even civility during the disagreeable °Per% 0 pistols and sabres are, after all, a poor def e i tic-s ad Cribb said, when compared to civil w ores Ti a deeds. The Spaniard is by nature high-bred_ysti " caballero," and responds to any appeal to clu",,, i ,tas e which his nation has reason to be proud : n otivp'4o%, ing those moral securities, if only by way of!, assurance -doubly sure, an Englishman will when travelling in exposed districts, to he P e t - o neit i ,' with a bag containing fifty to one hundret i u t : which makes a handsome purse, feels heavy in t",;. 11 0 14 ' and is that sort of amount which the Spanis h "-gilitti thinks a native of this proverbially rich countrf ,° l3 , i r c ti o have with him on his travels. He has a rernarkeb'e„oo estimating from the look of an individual, his 650. &c., how much ready money it is befitting his t , c f - r eses ti i , to have with him ;if the sum be not enough, "whie l " severely the depriving him of the regular spoill , ;:brebe . , he considers himself entitled by the long - e s lliad 01 ' usage of the road.
