The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. 4 ,___Al !L number of railway Bills had been read a second ' , me and committed Lord llaa.zairary for,., the presented' a petition from the inhabitants of Stirling immediate repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. o f favour of protectio; i presented two petitions from Tipperary in Mr. C. Buctica to agri cu lt ure. gave notice that he would bring in a Bill to prevent vexmatliosuzbections being made against voters. Lord JOHN moved t the second reading of the Bequests for Pious and Cheri able Purposes Bill ; the object of whish he stated was to remedy the liti • the existing law, and which were constantly p ro d uced b litigation and abuses which would always remain while tl 3 : of humanity feelings Book. were not in unison with the acts on theofFttlatlinet of alteration of the Hon. Member supported the necessity law by reading extracts from a report London, and other docnments. the Bishop of Sir JAMES GRAIIAM opposed the second reading of th e Bill, and contended that the p resent law was best adopted to the feelings of the pe o p le. Since the q uestion was formerly brought under his notice he had given it serious attention, but Ile could discover no reason to induce him to change his former opinions. The Eight Hon. Baronet having entered into a lengthened explanation of the details of the measure, and having observed that all personal property was exempt from the operation of the present enactment, concluded by expressing his determination to support the existing law, and therefore lie would move that the Bill be read a second time that day six mentlpi. Mr. P. llowann supported the second reading of the Bill. Mr. Alieva;rox Mii.Nes also styported the present Bill. Sir GEonom GREY entirely concurred in the opinions ex pressed by the Secretary for the Home Department. He by no means considered that the law was in a perfect state at present, and he would have been prepared to have supported any proper amendments which might have been moved, but he did not consider the measure laid before them adapted to the remedy of the anomalies which it was admitted by all existed in the present enactment, and he would therefore give his utmost support to the amendment. Lord CcivE—The manner in which the Bill was met by the last speaker bad was very different from the mode in which it been treated by the Right Hononrable Baronet. The former a d m i tte d that there weredefects the in operation of the prese nt law ; the latter refused to admit .such a fact, and tookisis lury, as the proof o f i ts .tuts, on the experience of a cen !Baronet himself w as one of etrcy.But the Right Hon. that experience, and therefore g reatest t innovators upon became him to adopt such a principle of conduct in its defence, Baronet had admitted the principle of Th e Right Hon, very extensive relax- THE SUN, LOND'ON, TIITTRS DAY EVENING.

Sir R. kraus expressed his strong disapprobation of the Charitable Bequests Bill, which had been extended to Ire land, and he felt equally strong objections to the Bill now before the House, the effect of which, were it carried out, would neutralise the provisions which their ancestors wisely had enforced, with the object of preventing an unjust accu mulation of wealth in the hands of the Church. Mr. O'CoNxEnn begged to offer his most cordial thanks to the Noble Lord who had introduced the measure, and exhorted him to persevere, as he thought it would effect the greatest benefit for the country. They had not too many religious establishments, nor was there a superabundance of religious instruction in England; and when that was the fact, they surely ought not to reject a measure calculated to afford them a greater supply of both. The ArrontrEY-GENERAL entered into a lengthened ex planation of the present enactment, by which the Legislature intended specially to guard against large sums of money being bequeathed to religious communities, and pointed out that the law of mortmain had arisen from a series of strug gles between the clergy and the Legislature on the very sub ject then under discussion. He thought it would be dan gerous to support the measure, and he should, therefore, vote against the second reading. Mr. C. BULLER supported the second reading of the Bill. The SOLICM)R-GENERAL opposed the second reading of the Bill, which he considered, if passed, would be as fruitful a source of litigation, as was ever concocted by the most e,tute lawyer in the country. Sir Jowl HANMER would support the second reading, in order that its details might be discussed in Committee. Mr. HawEs felt bound to resist the Bill in toto, objecting most strongly to its principle. In its details the measure was full of intricacies and difficulties. Lord EBRINGTON wished the House to so into Committee, because he was anxious for some alteration in the laws of mortmain. Mr. COLQUHOUN objected to the second reading of the Bill. Mr. P. BoßTnwicx supported the second reading of the Bill. Lord J.lllAzinEns replied ; and, upon a division, the Bill was lost by a majority of 36. The Election Notices (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 24th. The second reading of the Salmon Fisheries Bill was post poned till Wednesday next. The Second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was postponed till Wednesday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. ____ Before the amendment of Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS be for gotten amidst the steady and rational realisation of our free trade wishes, through the instrumentality of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S graduated policy, we would express our sentiments with reference to that amendment and also with reference to the behaviour of Mr. COBDES on the evening of its over throw. As far as our individual aspirations are concerned we would rejoice as heartily and as enthusiastically as any one if commerce were instantaneously released from its present bondage ; an immediate abolition of importation and of ex portation duties would be to us an occasion for our most earnest self-gratulation. When, however, we perceive—as every reasonable and dispassionate man must perceive, as the Noble Member for the city of London perceives, as the First Lord of the Treasury perceives, as the Member for Stockport perceives —that, under all circumstances, an obsti nate demand for free trade to-day (instead of to-morrow or the day after) would be most inimical to the interests of the people, we cannot but regard a persistance in such demands as unwise, as ungracious, and as absolute insanity. A change so sudden in the whole system of mercantile affairs would be productive of a confusion which must alone prove infinitely prejudicial ; besides which, so many preliminaries have to be arranged, and so many opposite interests to be balanced, that an immediate annihilation of existing prin ciples is impossible. It is both foolish and fallacious to dream for a single moment of seizing a prize so utterly unattain able. We would ourselves grasp free trade immediately—if we could! But, seeing what insurmountable barriers inter cept the pathway conducting to that goal, we prefer under mining its barriers and sappieg its very foundations by a three years' application of the sliding - scale, rather than beat our knuckles to a mummy in a childish attempt to overthrow such granite obstacles. Three winters hence, and the golden edict will be in full operation ; why therefore hazard its fulfilment alto gether by an obstinacy so ill-judged and so ruinously chime rical ? We have a promissory note at thirty-six months for a payment in full ; why risk the settlement of our great debt altogether by insisting upon its liquidation " down upon the nail." By these considerations, by a knowledge of the hazardous character of the views entertained by the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton, and by a thorough apprecia tion of the wisdom and the practicable excellence of Sir ROBERT'S policy, Mr. COBDEN has modulated his enthu siasm, while he has, at the same time, adhered with perfect constancy to those views which he had previously adopted and those professions which he had already announced. Had the patriotism of that really noble-minded monarch of the League been hitherto questionable, his speech of Tuesday night would have established at once and for ever its purity, its self-forgetfulness, and its entire consistency. He saw and acknowledged the impossibility of any success attending the amendment proposed by Mr. VILLIERS, he recognised the danger which would accrue to the Ministerial propositions by any undue perseverence in the advocacy of that amendment, and therefore, while voting with his Honourable Friend and associate, in fulfilment of those engagements into which he had elsewhere entered, he would, "after the division upon that question, give as cordial a support to the measure of the Go vernment as any gentleman in that House." In speaking thus Mr. COBDEN has proved himself consistent to those glorious principles upon which his renown, and his in fluence, and his popularity, are built up : he has proved himself consistent to those patriotic sentiments with which his past conduct has been animated ; he has proved himself consistent in that anxiety for the wel fare of his fellow-countrymen which has been so conspicuously evidenced in the whole of his Parliamentary career. That small sentence is the epitome of his public character; it is worthy of RICHARD COBDEN, it is i worthy of the nineteenth century, it is worthy of the great cause of FREEDOM TO COMMERCE, and of the offering of food to the hungry and unprotected labouring classes. The people will estimate this conduct of their favourite champion as it merits, so also will the Prime Minister of Great Britain, so also will the historian of this peace ful and bloodless revolution. In commenting, how ever, as we have done, upon• the propriety of the amendment introduced by Mr. VILLIERS, we do not for a moment doubt that the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton was actuated by feelings the most honourable and the most conscientious. He had pledged himself to perform a certain act ; that pledge he has redeemed, and we cannot but feel assured that his co-operation in the Ministerial measures will be as earnest and as decided as that promised by the Honourable Member for Stockport. On mature reflection we are satisfied that Mr. VILLIERS must acquiesce in the sensible and resolute expressions employed by the two representa tives for Finsbury—to whom all honour be accorded! While speaking thus in commendation of Mr. COBDEN, Mr. Dux- COMBE, and Mr. WAELEY, we cannot refrain from con gratulating the constituency of Cheltenham upon the staunch adherence of the Honourable CRAVEN RERIEELEY to the cause of free trade. His fan volt in the minority of Tuesday night is satis factory in its very insufficiency; it is an earnest that, notwithstanding his summoning the League, as it were, to judgment on the subject of signatures to petitions, his sympathies are nevertheless identical with those of that great Association, and that his voice is ever ready to speak out in concurrence with their principles. While the great commercial measures propounded by Government are being made the subject of violent controversy in the Lower House, it cannot be uninteresting or unimpor tant to note the sentiments expressed among the Peers respecting a movement which, of its class, has no parallel in the records of Parliament. It may be said with considerable show of reason, that more furious opinions upon the matter are entertained by their Lordships than possibly by any other body of men in the kingdom; and, in earnest of this circumstance, more flagitious allusions to its insti gators have been made within that august assemblage of aristrocrats than is accordant with its dignity. 'We are treated to these casual manifestations of feeling among the oligarchy, in moments of supreme excitement or in dignation, when their most cherished thoughts start forth in spite of themselves. At these times, the smallest peg upon which to hang any of these ultra -Parliamentary exclamations is taken advantage of for that purpose—and in this abrupt and disjointed manner, we obtain a kind of interjectional notion of the thoughts rankling in the bosoms of those right honourable personages. From the utterance of those thoughts also we obtain a glimpse of their intentions. Precisely of this character were the observations with which, on Tuesday evening, the Earl of HARDWICKE thought proper to clothe certain petitions in favour of protection to agriculture from different places in the county of Cambridge. In introducing those petitions the Noble Lord manufactured another of those warning speeches with which his brother landlords have endeavoured to frighten away the agitators for com mercial reform—speeches which we cannot but regard as the very counterpart of the scarecrows with which farmers try to prevent the incursion of hungry birds upon their corn-fields, and which scarecrows are generally com posed of mere garbage and rubbish. Desirous no doubt of giving his cause an appearance of solidity, the Noble Lord- Lieutena n t of Cambridgeshire had recourse to a few quota tiu bearing f said petitioners Tradition the COCKER, which however had not the slightest purport radit o o n f the informs prayer u signed s of a byfe fellow who delight e d in the constant narration of an conversation might be, g' laniNlya and who, whatever th e anecdote about a varicy or other to int ro d uce his pet Ysnianaged by some story,.contri a contrivance which more generally resolved itself simply In talking about guns reminds 'Be of ant an accident, „,_f" outcry oO h Exactly after this fashion do the protectionist noblemen e &c." ma nage to discover some excuse, some opportune so me appropriate point , at which to repeat, f or tnihoerane. e moment n u hundred and n inet y -ninth time, their old tale about the destruction of the farming interest, and tueh like lamentations. If a railway bill, or a Committee motion, or a currency measure, or any other topic whatever be under discussion, up jumps his Grace of RICHMOND, or some equally outrageous money-lover, with the usual cock-and bull story of the lamentable consequences certain to result from any relaxation of the Custom-house duties. Alittle episodeof this description took place on Tuesday in the House of Peers, the diatribe of the Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire form ing a sort of preface or introduction to it—very pointless, very irrelevant and very unlucky in its assertions. "He per fectly understood the principle upon which the Government was dissolved, but he had never heard it yet stated on what principle the Government was resumed." Really Jome WILL= is quite a sprightly and sagacious logician when compared with these sticklers for taxation upon foreign provisions. The Noble Earl does not com prehend the principle upon which the present Go vernment was resumed !—why, every brain almost in Great Britain has been perfectly saturated with explanations of that principle from the very moment the present session commenced; the public mind (so to speak) is by this time actually sodden with expositions of that principle—first from Sir ROBERT PEEL, then from Sir damns; GRAHAM, then from Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, then from Sir G. CLERK, and so on through the whole list of Government officials. Besides which, is not that principle conspicuously developed in every clause of the Ministerial proposition now running the gauntlet of the protection gentlemen of the Lower House? And yet the Earl of HARDWICKE, declares his ignorance of the nature of that principle ! Really the thinness of the agricultural skin is only exceeded by the thickness of the agricultural skull. His Lordship then proceeds to perorate his remarks to a climax, and this he accomplishes by declaring that the House of Commons had, according to his mind, " lost the good opinion and confidence of the country by the course it had pursued"—shutting his ears, of course, to those cries of exultation which circulated throughout the land at the intelligence of the majority of ninety-seven , with which that conduct had been confirmed. The Earl of HARDWICKE declares the Lower House to be unpopular ; the multitude, through every channel by which a knowledge of public opinion can be obtained, de dare that House (or, rather, the majority of that House), to be the most popular, perhaps, that ever legislated for the good of the people. Upon the cessation of his Lordship's harangue, and despite the decided language in which the Marquis of LONDONDERRY deprecated the con tinuance of a discussion so premature, his Grace of RICH MOND enforced the view entertained by his colleagues with hi s ordinary rashness of tone and tongue. He accounted for the 97 votes by which the Government had recently worsted their opponents by an insinuation most bold, and, in our estimation, most unparliamentary. " All the placemen," said his Grace, " voted. There are a great many offices vacant, and every man who is looking out for an oft: voted fbr the Government." This is a direct imputation upon the honesty of the Honourable Members referred to, and one that is not sustained by a single scrap of evidence. Various other expressions of a similar character, were subsequently uttered by the Noble Duke; in themselves significant tokens of the wrath which is generating in the Upper House, and of the fierce antagonists who will be mustered against the free-trade measure imme diately upon its introduction to the hall of aristocracy. Let those noble Oppositionists, however, remember that the will of the people can never be gainsaid—that it can never be thwarted beyond a certain time—that, when roused by the pertinacious contradiction of an oligarchy, it becomes the most puissant and the most terrible of despots. Let them remember, moreover, the passing of the Reform Bill—and the alternative to which they were reduced by their obstinacy. Ultimate triumph to the cause of abolition is, however, cer tain; and before many years more have elapsed, the eulogium upon the League uttered on Tuesday night by Lord BROUGHAM will be echoed by all classes of the community—the tenant farmers, and even the protectionist dukes, amongst the number. We have intelligence from Madrid of the 25th ult. The Senate that day commenced the discussion on the new elec toral Bill and adopted sixteen clauses. The only feature in the discussion worth notice was a declaratitn of Senor ISTU RITZ, announcing that the objects of the Government in this Bill were that all opinions should be fairly represented, and that no unconstitutional means be resorted to for the purpose of influencing the elections. It is reported that NARVAEZ is decidedly opposed to the marriage of the QUEEN with the Count DE TRAPANI, The Eco del Comercio affirms that "it is the intention of General NARVAEZ to ask the Government several questions respecting the Durex' alliance, to which he has declared himself adverse." The new Minister of Finance had addressed a circular to all the intendants of the provinces, desiring them to proceed with the collection of the land-taxes for the purposes of the state. The total amount is reckoned at 125,000,000 reals (1,250,0001.), and that for Madrid at 60,000/. The Three per Cents. closed at 32 at 60 days. No other stock was quoted. The Paris papers contain additional intelligence from Algiers, and the unfavourable accounts from Washington are referred to by most of them. With the exception of the Presse, they seem to consider the policy adopted by POLK of a hostile character, and most likely to lead to a war between England and America. The same journal pays high compli ments to Sir R. PEEL for his liberal and daring commercial policy, but, at the same time, while grateful for reducing the duty on brandy, it expresses regret that he had stopped short at wine. This is a very natural cause of regret for a French writer. The vine producers in the south of Frarce are half ruined by the system of Customs adopted by the Government, and an outlet for their second and third-rate wines in England would be a great boon. They are perfectly aware of the fact, and are takingmeasures for impressing the Legislature with a con viction that a change is absolutely necessary, but no French man can readily blame England for this state of things; on the contrary, she merits the highest praise, and France has only to imitate her example in order to secure the lasting friendship of the two countries and the peace of the world. With the exception referred to, the remarks of the Presse are just :—" The able system adopted in England for the re duction of the tariff of import duties there already begins to bear fruit, since even in France, without taking into account the difference between the state of the two countries, en lightened minds begin to call for an immediate, universal, unlimited freedom of trade. The reduction of duties upon the first necessaris of life for the consumption of the people of England is not only a measure of humanity, preventive perhaps, of disastrous internal disorder, but is also, when viewed in the light of an expansion of commerce, an act of the soundest and most disinterested policy. In fact, by lessening the cost of the means of life to the working man' Sir R. PEEL renders at the same time the productions of his hands less dear aid more abundant. It is, however, to be regretted that he stopped at the important reduction of the duties upon French wines. Before the time of EDWARD the English drank wine as we do in France, brought in abundance from the provinces of Anjou and Guyenne. Since the loss of these provinces an almost eternal war has sepa rated England from this source of supply. She has been forced to have recourse to new aliments, and adopt beer and spirits distilled from grain. The enormous profit which the agricultural proprietors derive from the malt with which in toxicating beer is made, has driven them to devote nearly the whole of their produce in barley, and a great portion of their other corn, to this object." Does not the writer perceive that the very facts he states would furnish the protectionists with new arguments ? The Semaphore of Marseilles contains intelligence from Algiers of the 25th ult., from which we learn that Marshal BUGEAUD had arrived there on the previous day, with a small detachment of troops, who appeared to have under gone great hardships. A private letter from Algiers says : "The soldiers were all very much sun-burnt; their clothes, which were patched in all parts with coarse cloth and pieces of skins of animals, were covered with dust. We were much affected by the appearance of these brave troops, which had endured such great fatigues and undergone such great hard ships, to drive out the enemy and protect our colony." The following is the last dispatch received from the Marshal, and is dated Jurjura, Feb. 20, giving an account of his rencontre with ABD-EL-KADER in that district : " I was not able to cross the mountains of the Beni-Khafouns until the 15th. The Beni-Khafouns, being taken by surprise, fled towards their neighbours, and opposed to me only an insignificant resistance, in which we lost only one man. I encamped the same day at the fort of the South Flissa, which had been submitted to one Agha Ben-Zamoun. I had, in passing, chastised the Beni-Khafouns, and remained in their territory during the 10th. I was joined the same day by General Gentil, and I sent him to resume his post at the Col des Beni-Aicha on the 17th and 18th. I invaded the . . Amountains of the unsubmitted Flissas. Numerous armed groups showed themselves on various points at a distance, but they did not venture on an attack. On the 19th they came to the number of between 3,000 and 4,000, to the high mountains at the left of my camp ; but I would not attack them, because I was resolved to approach by the valley of Boglim, the sources of the Oued-Kseub, where Abd-el-Kader had been en camped for several days. After having marched an hour and a halt; we discovered the cavalry of the Emir, and all his baggage, in a very difficult defile on a ridge near the regions of snow. Instead of coming to attack me, as he had promised the Kabyles, he de scended the mountain, and entered into the Hamza. This difficult retreat was covered by 1,500 to 2,000 Kabyles, either out of inte rest to the Emir, or because they wished to defend their habita tions. When we had arrived near the Kabyles they began to fire —I then ordered an attack by three battalions. The Kabyles were successively dis'odged from several positions, and forced at length to defile en maw in a ravine, where we fired upon them at a very short distance. They left a good number of dead, and were followed until night without being able to reach the column of Abd-el-Kader. To-day three tribes of Kabyles, the most menaced by the presence of my column, have written to enter into arrangements. I have sent for their chiefs to my camp, and am waiting for them. I learned from their envoys that Abd-el-Mader slept last night at the East of Hamza, and had left many beasts of burthen ht the dreadful ravines through which he had to pass. The same men agreed in stating that Ben Salem kad followed him in his retreat, as he dreaded the anger of the Kabyles, who have been so 111-treated by my column on his account.' Marshal Bugeaud enclosed a report from General Levasseur, dated Constantino., the 4th, an nouncing submissions by some of the tribes who had previously made their submission to Abd-el-Kader, but communicating no other fact of interest." The accounts in the German journals, received this morn ing, says Galignani of Tuesday, are very contradictory as to the revolutionary movement in Prussian Poland, and the disturbances in Cracow, Gallacia, &c. According to some they were at an end, others state that they had rather in creased than diminished. In this confusion we do not find a single fact from any source worthy of notice, that can enable us to form an opinion as to the real state of things in the disturbed districts. And the Constitutionnel, after giving some particulars respecting the reported insurrection, adds: "All this proves that the news given by the German journals ought to be received with the greatest reserve." Discontent still prevails to a great extent in the POPE'S dominions. The following accounts, contained in a letter, dated Marseilles, Feb. 27, are ♦ery distressing, for they show that Austria is inclined to show no mercy : Leghorn, that about 50 pers ons h ave b een arres t e d a t P esaro an d " We learn by the Hercul aneum , w hi c h arr i ve d y e st er d a y f r o m Gano, in the Roman States.

THE BATTLES ON THE SUTLEJ.—The important victories gained by the British arms over the Seikhe, as well as the future movements of our troops in that quarter, have natu rally excited the greatest interest, and made a correct and intelligible map of the scene of action and the territory of the Punjaub much sought after. Hitherto most of the maps published are very defective, and omit altogether the names of places now rendered immcrtal by the recent deeds. Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, with his usual activity and skill, has supplied the deficiency in a map just published, and dedicated to Sir Henry Hardinge, entitled, " Map of the Routes through the Punjaub and the adjoining States." In this useful chart all the places mentioned in the dispatches are laid down, with the route from Umballah by Sirsind to Loodianah, and the tract taken by the troops on their march to re:ieve Sir John Littler at Ferozepore. The distances are given at every ten or fifteen miles, and the fords in the r i ver , a t l eas t th ose cons id e red sta tionary, are pointed out, with the respective roads leading from them to Lahore. We understand that Mr Wyld has spared no expense in consulting the best maps and surveys of the country, and that for a part of the Punjaub—all to the south of Lahore, with a considerable portion to the r.orth, and the entire district bounded on the east by Kurnaul, Urn ballah, and Loodianah, and on the west by Bhutneer and Ferozepore—it is by far the most correct chart of the kind published. The price is extremely moderate, and we have no doubt that for some time to conic it will have a vast circzlation. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending February 28 was 916, showing a decrease of 39 as compared with the previous week. The deaths from small-pox (only 4); measles, scarlatina, and pneumonia, are considerably below the average, but we re gret to find that bronchitis still continues very fatal, the deaths being 71, or about twice the usual number. The violent deaths are stated to be 19. ,‘ THE SUN' EXPRESS. (From Besley's Devonshir.: Clu onicle.) We are indebted to the politeness of the talented and inde fatigable proprietor of The Sun, for a copy of the debates, with the division of the House of Commons on Friday night, which was received by us soon after nine o'clock on Satur day morning. (From the Cheitewham Examiner.) THE Dlyistox.—An express edition of The Sun, forwarded by special engine, brought the earliest intimation of the re sult of Saturday morning's division. The debate did not close until near three o'clock, and when we say that The Sun reached our office, in Cheltenham, shortly after nine, our readers will agree that it was one of the most speedy in stances of newspaper expressing on record. Large placards were immediately placed outside the Examiner office, giving the lieges the earliest news of this important result. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. At Liverpool yesterday the sales of Cotton were 5,000 irale4, including 1,000 on speculation and for export. The market, though steady, was not lively. Shares continued dull. To a certain extent the following observations are correct, but Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbary cannot prove that discounting by the Bank of England spreads money among the middling classes, as well as accommodation afforded by the general banks of the metropolis:— " Tile Bank of England has made use of its deposits in the same way as other bankers do, and the only difference is, that the Bank has got the profits arising from the increased amount, instead of the bankers, for the amount of Bank notes in circulation has been quite as uniform as during the same period last year, or indeed since its reformed system, which wisely fixed a limit to its issues. That great difficulties may have been experienced by parties who in former times could obtain almost any amount of money required, we can readily believe, but that does not prove a ' locking up,' it only proves that engagements have been made for a different application of its uses. It is now required for railways, and will go to pay wages to labourers, engineers, lawyers, &c. ; but the greater part of it will soon find its way to the shopkeepers, who will supersede the speculators, by purchasing and distributing for immediate consumption the necessaries of life; and thus will continue to g o on (at any rate, for some years), in steady progression. ' We approve so much of railway extension, that we coin cide in the concluding observations, but this is applicable to the period when railways are in course of construction and not merely projected. The Funds are dull. Consols have been 95 1 A 3 4 for pre- sent transfer, and 95% to 96 for time. Exchequer-bills have declined a little, being 325. to 345. premium.

This morning a commission de lunatico inq'eirendo was opened before Francis Barlow, Esq., at the Sheriff's-office for Middlesex, to inquire into the state of mind of Griffiths William Morris, who formerly carried on business as a sur geon, at Barnet. The writ had been sued out at the in stance of the brother of the lunatic, and the evidence went very clearly to _prove the insanity. His delusions were rather peculiar. He at times considered that he had got the head of another person, and that the Queen, Prince Albert and suite put up at his house on their way to Hatfield House. On one occasion he caught a red hot coal out of the fire, and said that it was his canary bird, &c. In the latter end of last year he went from home on horseback to see his daughter at Cirencester, but after being gone some time the horse returned by himself, and the lunatic was not seen for two days, and he then said that he had slept in the fields one night, and could not tell where he stayed afterwards. In short - his memory completely failed him, and he had not made any entries in his books during the last year. In December last he ran in a very excited state to the Red Lion, in Barnet, and said that his horse would run for the Derby at Epsom ; he however had no race-horse. From that time his friends kept a careful watch over his actions, and in January be was placed in Brompton-house Retreat. Mr. Berry, a surgeon residing at Whetstone, was called, and proved that when he was sent for in January, 1846, he found Mr. Morris violently excited; and he had no doubt of his being unable to properly attend to his business. He bad met him in consultation once in July and twice in October. Witness was on those occasions of opinion that the lunatic was not quite competent to judge of such cases, but did not like to say so. Mr. Morris did not appearto be able to bring his mind to bear on flu? subject. Witness bad afterwards said," Oh, poor fellow he will go out of his mind." In October there was everything in his ap pearance, manner, and eye, to denote more than mere im becility. Witness, as a medical man, would not have liked to have taken his opinion. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict that the said Griffith William Morris was of unsound mind from the Ist of January, 1846. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIZELL.) SMITH V. BESSEMER. This was an action to recover the sum of 151. 12s. for warehouse-room and care of a steam-engine under peculiar circumstances. The defendant denied his liability. The facts of the case were these :—ln June, 1844, the de fendant sent the engine in question to an engineer, named Wilson, carrying on business in the Wharf-road, St. Pancras. Wilson, however, was soon afterwards declared a bankrupt, and the present plaintiff, who occupied a part of the pre mises, was chosen assignee. Defendant demanded the engine, but the plaintiff refused to give it up, unless the warehouse-room was paid for. According to the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses, the defendant distinctly agreed to pay 151. 125., and on a subsequent occa sion he called and said that he would pay that amount, and pulled out a 10/. note and a cheque for 1001., and said if the engine was put into the cart he would go and get change. He went away but did not return, but the men drove off with the engine ; they were, however, followed and given into custody ; the charge, however, was not followed up. For th defendant it was contended that the offer to pay was only a ruse to get his engine, and ought not to be taken as a binding promise, as proper care had not be taken of the engine ; and, on the contrary, it bad been thrown about negligently, aid that many of the bolts and brasses were missing, and, in fact, the defendant had been put to an ex pense of 301. to put it in repair. The jury retired at one o'clock to consider their verdict. [On the names of the second jury being called it was found to be impossible to make up a sufficient number. It was stated that five who had been summoned were licensed victuallers and bound to attend on the licensing magistrates, it was, therefore, agreed to go on with a short number.] Verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 71. 10s. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) William Philips, au athletic fellow, was placed at the bar charged with the following brutal conduct. It appeared in evidence that on Wednesday evening, at six o'clock, the prisoner was at a public-house in the City-road, where he quarrelled with a bargeman, whom he kicked and beat in a savage manner and left him in a state of insensibility. The prisoner attempted to make his escape, but the police were called upon to take him into custody. Two officers arrived, and on seizing the prisoner he became exceesiingly violent, and resisted them. On their road to the station-house he struck at and kicked the officers, who were much injured, especially about the legs. He spat at them, and made use of the most abominable language. With great difficulty he was taken to the station-house. Several witnesses confirmed this evidance. The prisoner expressed Pis sorrow, saying he was drunk at the time, and he hoped the Magistrate would deal leniently with him. Mr. GREENWOOD said he was mistaken if he thought he was about to fine him. He sentenced him to seven days' imprisonment, without fine, in the House of Correction. Prisoner—l hope your worship will take bail. Mr. GxxxxwooD—Certainly not; and the man who you first assaulted not being able to attend to-day, after your term of imprisonment has expired he can have a warrant against you. The police must be protected. MR. BEULER'S CONCERT. Beuler, the prince of humorists, and the best of the comic singers of the true old English school, gives his annual Evening Entertainment at the Crown and Anchor, on Monday evening next. The first part is to consist of a dish of table-talk a la Mathews, interspersed with several new comic songs, with certain Caudle Lectures, and concluding with "Jeames." The second part will consist of a Grand Concert, in which Mr. Bonier will be assisted by some of the first vocal talent of the day. We are happy to learn that Mr. Beuler is recovered from his late severe illness, and hope that his friends will gather round him on Monday night, to show the respect in which they hold him as an excellent singer and most worthy man. It i 3 rumoured, says the Brussels Gazette of Saturday last, that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will pass the greater part of the ensuing summer with the King of the Belgians, at the Palace of Lacken. SLIGO, FEB. 28.—An agent from the Government has arrived in Sligo, to make arrangements for the storing of 800 tons of Indian meal. The Sligo Champion states that this will be quite In sufficient to meet the impending calamity, inasmuch as three entire baronies are already without potatoes. ACCIDENT To THE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS OF BUTE —We are sorry that an accident, which might have been pro ductive of more serious consequences, occurred to the Marquis of Bute on Wednesday last. His Lordship was riding on the road from Rothesay to Scoulag, when his horse came down, and he was pre cipitated several yards. With the exception of come abrasures on the forehead, his Lordship escaped uninjured ; and, after staying a short time at Mid-Asceg farm, he proceeded to Mouutstewart. W e understand his Lordship intended going to London in the course of that week, but this accident will probably delay his departure for some time.—ilyr Observer. THE DISTURBANCE AND MURDER ON THE HANVICK RAILWAY.—(FURTHER PeaTicuLAßs.)—On Sunday morning the Scottish labourers on the line, to the number, it is said, of 1,200 or 1,500, assembled in the neighbourhood of Fushie Bridge, armed with bludgeons and other lethal weapons, and proceeded to burn the huts occupied by the Irish labourers. No reason has transpired for this outrage. It is thought the proceedings on Saturday alone have ex cited the aggressors to such measures. Be that as it may, the hand ful of constables left to endeavour to keep the peace could do nothing to restrain such a powerffil combination of men; they could only form spectators of the fearful progress the rioters made, as row after row of the temporary huts of the poor Irishmen were burned to the ground; the wretched inmates, men, women, and children . being compelled to fly to a distance to escape the ravages of the consuming element, and the blows of their infuriated and resolute assailants. Expresses for assistance were sent off Im mediately on the determination of the mob being known, and accord ingly Mr. Sheriff Speirs, Mr. Sheriff Jameson, Mr. List and other officials left town for the sceae of disturbance, accompanied by about twenty of the city police. Sixty dragoons from Piershill likewise were sent out, by whose assistance nineteen Scotehmen, who were iden tified as haying formed part of the mob, were apprehended and brought into Edinburgh. About forty dragoons and a large consta bulary force remained last night to guard against further outrage. It is reported that a great number of the Irishmen in Edinburgh have resolved to go out to-day (Tuesday) and avenge their countrymen, but it is to be hoped that the active measures taken by the autho rities, supported by the effective auxiliary of the military, will deter them from adopting a step which would only entail serious conse quences on themselves, and protract all unseemly and disas trous strifb.—Zdisburgh Advertisr.

This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Strutt, chairman. The Committee upon assembling intimated to the gentle men of the press that they were most willing to afford every accommodation to the representatives of the various journals in the execution of their duties. Then, therefore, appointed the side table for them on the left of t he Chairman, which was the best arrangement that, under the circumstances, could be made. LONDON, WARWICK, LEAMINGTON, AND ZEIDDEItiVIZATSTER.. This att.:burned case was then called on. Mr. Coates appeared for the promoters. Mr. Burma proceeded with the allegations in the petitions against the Bill. They consisted of errors in the plans and sections, but none of them were of vital importance to the Bill. A few were sustained and many were abandoned Mr. Samuel Hughes, C.E., was called by the opponents to prove errors in the plans and sections. A few arguments by Mr. COATES were sustained and others overruled. Sub-Committee, No. 2. This Committee nu t to-day, shortly after twelve o'clock. There were present Si r J. Y. Buller (Chairman), Mr. G. Craig, Mr. Bell, and Mr. Walker. TRING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE. This was the first Bill considered, against which there was one petition from Mr. William Waithem, for which no one appeared. ['he formal evidence havirg been gone through, the Com mittee found that the standing orders had been complied with. The object of the promoters of this Bill was to construct a lice of railway from the London 2nd Birmingham Railway at Pitatone to the parish of Saundaton, which was part of a proposed extended railway from Tring to Basingstoke, to join the London and South-Western Railway, the remainder to be incorporated in another Bill. Engineer, Mr. S. Hughes, C.E. Amount of capital, 124,00 W., and length of line fifteen miles. The Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson and Co. ; solicitors, Messrs. G. P. Hill, and T. G. Everill, Soho-square. Mr. Ellicombe appeared in support of the Bill. GLIISGOVIT,PAISLEY, ILILMARBTOCIL, AND • AIM, AND DRANCIIES. This was the next petition taken into consideration. The object of the Bill was to construt t a railway from Paisley to near Kilmarnock, with branches to Drybndge. The esti mate of the undertaking was 1,600,0001., and the subscription 600,000/., while the length of the line, with the branches, was about twenty six miles. Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Burke, Pritt, and Vena bles ; engineer, Mr. John Miller. There were several petitions against this Bill. The form.al evidence having been heard, Mr. Piurr said he would suggest to his friend, Mr. Laing (the agent for the petitioners), a course that would abridge the labours of the Committee, and would not in any degree injure the case of the petitioners. It was simply this :—That they (the promoters) admitted various in accuracies in the plans and sections deposited on the 30th of November, but that having found that to be the case, they had deposited amended plans and sections on or be fore the 31st of December. If his friend, therefore, would take this general admission, instead of going into the alle gations in the petitions, as had been done in the Welsh and Midland Railway, and in another case with which his friend must be acquainted, they would save time to all parties. If this suggestion were not adopted they were prepared to go info the allegations seriatim. Mr. LAIN(} said he was willing to agree to any course that would save the time of the Committee, but he must object to his Learned Friend, Mr. Pritt, going into any proof of his having deposited any other plans than those deposited on the 30th of November. A case exactly similar to that arose before Committee 3, with reference to the South Union Railway, and Mr. Venables there objected to any proof being given in evidence of what had taken place subsequent to the 30th of November, and the Committee decided'in favour of Mr. Venables. He must, therefore object to his friend proceeding in the course he had proposed. The CHAIRMAN said, it did not make the least difference whether the evidence in question was given there or before the Committee above stairs; but the question was, whether evidence not produced then could be taken up stairs. Mr. LAING said that, accord .ng to the Act of Parliament, the parties were permitted to make any .statement such as his Learned Friend had offered here up stairs, but that at present that could not be accepted. The CHAIRMAN thought that if the parties could come to some arrangement it would be better. Mr. LAING said that one of the greatest landholders on the line was in attendance there, and objected to the adoption of the course proposed, having been already detained several weeks in town at a heavy expense. Sub-Committee No. 6. This Committee re-assembled this day; present, Captain Jones (in the chair), Lord Ebi ington, Mr. Deedes, and Mr. Pakington. BRISTOL, lIIILMIXGRAM AND MIDLAND. This case was postponed in consequence of an informality in the petition. 131T0K1NG11.5141 (TTLING TO BILNIIITET). This was the next case called on. The object of the pro moters of this Bill is to construct a line of railway from Tring, which will pass through the towns of Aylesbury, Winslow, and Buckingham, and terminate at Banbury. The length is thirty-one miles, the estimated cost is 850,000 L, for which amount the deed has been executed. The engineer is Robert B. Dockray, Esq.; the Parlia mentary agents, Messrs. Dorrington and Co. ; and the soli citor, Samuel Carter, Esq. It was discovered by the Committee that in reference to cross sections, opposite to the line intended to represent the present surface of the ground, the words "altered surface" were written, and vice versa—the present surface of tl.e road ought to have been represented by a straight line, whilst on the contrary it was designated by a dotted line, and the re verse was the case with respect to the altered surface. `Tice room was cleared, and after upwards of half an hour's time the parties concerned were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN said that they bad fully considered the point themselves, and also referred to the chairmen of the other Sub-Committees, and they had come to the determina tion to report to the Standing Orders' Committee the non compliance with the standing orders in this respect. Mr. DoßrtussTorr—Perhaps you will be kind enough to attend that Committee when this case comes before them. The Cirmozior—l shall attend the Committee, of course, and report the whole of the circumstances. Mr. DORRINGTON—Thank you, Sir. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. This Committee resumed its sittings this day at twelve o'clock. NEWRY, ARMAGH, and LONDONDERRY RAILWAY. The Committee decided, after hearing the usual evidence, that the Company in this case had complied with the stand ing orders. THE WEXFORD, CARLOW, AND DUBLIN JUNC TION RAILWAY. The Committee reported that in this case also the Com pany had complied with the standing orders. WEST CORK MINING COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The half- early meeting of this Company was held at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, this day, at one o clock, but the attendance was very small. Mr. Wirt'AN, on taking the chair, proceeded to lay before the meeting a summary of the receipts and expenditure of the Company from July, 1837, to Dec. 1845. The cash ac.. count showed a debt of 24,275/., and deducting the expenditure, a balance of 854 was left in the bankers' hands. The Chairman stated the present liabilities of the Company to be about 1,8701., to meet which the directors bad still to receive 1,3451. balance, unpaid upon the call of 10,0001., but in order to get up that sum, it had been found necessary to institute a suit in Chancery, which was pending at that moment. On that account, he had been unable to bring the affairs of the Company into such a position as to make it possible to have them wound up at that meeting, but he trusted to accomplish this by the meeting in August. The accounts were approved and passed. It was then moved and carried by the shareholders present, and approved of by many absent, that the shareholders of the Company were under great obligations to their Chairman, Mr. Wittan, for the exertions he had untiringly made in the cause of the Company, which had been successful in saving them from much greater loss, and that, in token of their gratitude, they thought it proper to make arrangements for presenting him with a testimonial. The meeting was then adjourned. Viscount and Viscountess Canning entertained a select circle at dinner last evening, at the family mansion in Grosvenor-square. The guests included the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, Lord and Lady Stanley, Viscount and Vis countess Jocelyn, Lord Redesdale, and Lord Ossulston.

The prices may be quoted at 728. 6d. Pre sent prices have given rise to several inquiries for export orders, which trade is expected to be large this spring:— a/avow National. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a young man, named John Neville, son of a Greenwich pilot, was in a boat at the entrance of the Regent's Canal Dock, Ratcliff, waiting fora ship about to leave the dock, when an empty barge, named the Betsey, at the entrance of the lock, was driven by a gust of wind to wards the pier -head where Neville was. He attempted to stear clear of the danger, when the rudder of the barge knocked him down over the thwarts of his boat, and he was crushed by the barge in a frightful manner. Immediate as sistance was rendered, and the lockmeu on the pier-head brought him ashore, but he died immediately afterwards. THE CRIES OF PARLIAMENT.—Among the London cries alluded to in various descriptions of the metropolis, those uttered by the voice of Parliament have been somewhat unaccount ably omitted. These cries, and their import, are principally the following : Hear, liner I Oh, oh I Tremor ndous cheering implies An obvious truism. - A disagreeable truth. - A bit of claptrap. . An Hon. Gentleman committing hirnself. - We don't want to hear you. [ronical ditto Question 1 and Spoke I Order! Cock-a-doodle-doo Turn him out. A moral max.im.—Punch. The Rev.

"Oh, I had my feet crushed through the carelessness of a conductor the other day, between the cars, that's all." "And don't you mean to sue for damages ?"
