FORD, APRIL 3.—On Sunday morning last the premises of Mr. William Burt, landlord of the Bear Inn, in this town, was broken open by some thief or thieves, and a considerable amount of property stolen therefrom. The robbery must have been perpetrated after twelve o'clock at night, as the family did not retire to rest until after that hour on Sunday morning. Suspicion rests upon two well-dressed strangers who were noticed in the town on Saturday, and who, it has since been discovered, came down by th e Gr e at Western Railway branch, now open to Hungerford, on that day , returning by the first rain front thence ou Sunday waning.

The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented petitions from Winchester and Salisbury against the duty on charitable bequests. EASTER RECESS. Lord STANLEY wished to know from her Majesty's overnment at what period they intended to propose the adjournment of the House for the Easter recess, and for what duration ; he also wished to know whether, sup posing the Jewish Disabilities Bill came up from the House of Commons before Easter, it was their intention to proceed with that measure before the Easter recess? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not see any reason, at present, why the usual course should not be adopted, of moving the adjournment of the House on Tuesday in Passion Week, till the Tuesday week following, nor did he see any reason why the measures alluded to by the Noble Lord should interfere with the adoption of the usual course. PROPERTY TAX BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to move the second reading of the Property-tax Bill. The Noble Marquis went at some length into the provisions of the Bill and the exigencies of the State that required the The o f t h e property-tax for three years. ordinary revenue of the country, according to the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would this year be below the demand upon it, and it was to compensate the deficiency that it was proposed to con tinue this tax for three years longer. It had been said that that deficiency might be obviated by a reduction of expenditure, but it should be remembered that by far the larger proportion of the revenue of the country was pledged to the public creditor s and it was only on the smaller portion that any economy could be practised. The total amount of interest on the funded and unfunded debt was, in the present year, 31,280,6001. As regarded that sum, Parliament had no option. Now he would state the sums in which they bad something like an option. The estimate for the navy was 7,776,6011., for the army 7,162,9961., and for the ordnance 2,924,8391, making a total tor military purposes of 17,864,4351. In stating that, he was sure he had used no argument to induce them to agree to that amount. Those estimates were the same as those of last year, except in two particulars , and he did not think that that was a moment when they could safely reduce their military forces. There were, in addition, other items of expenditure amounting to 4,006,0001., making a total of 53,140,0001. to be provided for. He would now st.te the items of income. The Customs' du ties would, it was estimated, produce 19,7e0,000/., and the Excise 13,000,000/. These estimates were lower than the actual amount produced by those branches ef revenue last year, the total estimates for 1848 being only 32,750,000/., while the revenue in 1847 was 35,044,0001. The duties on stage-carriages were estimated at 500,000 L; stamp duties, 7,200,0001.; assessed taxes, 4,340,0001.; and Post. office, 900,0001.; making a total of 46,050,0001. That was the whole ordinary revenue of the country, and, under these circumstances, it was ne cessary to impose some additional tax to make up the deficiency, amounting to upwards of 7,000,0001. Indi rect taxation was, doubtless, the best mode of raising the revenue, but there were limits to it, and, in the present instance, it . had been deem e d a d v i sa bl e to r e commend the continuance of the property-tax for three years. The produce of this tax would make the estimated revenue 51,250,0001., still leaving a deficit of 1,750,000/., which would, however, be met from the balances in the Exchequer, now very large. There was one item of expense in the estimates for the present year, however, which would not again occur, namely, a sum of 1,100,0001. for the expenses of the Kafir war, which had been happily terminated by the energy and skill of the present Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. He next felt happy to inform their Lordships that there has been, for the last three years, a balance of from 5,500.0001. to 6,500,0001. in the funds of the Exchequer, which can be drawn on at any time, whenever a deficiency in the income of the country occurs, and he thought that there was a great advantage in having such a balance in the hands of the Exchequer, to meet such exigencies as the present times demand. He should also add, that the events in other countries fully justified the Government in protecting the security of the Crown, and the peace and safety of the people. He should, therefore, in conclusion, say that, considering the great utility of such a measure, he hoped that their Lordships would join with him in supporting the second reading of the Bill, Lord STANLEY said that he did not think it neces sary to trouble their Lordships by following the different arguments of the Noble Marquis (Marquis of Lans downe), because ho fully concurred with them. He con sidered that it was very judicious to place this country in a state of defence for the security of the Crown and the safety of the British subjects. He should at the same time say that he fully approved of the opposition offered by the House of Commons to the intended augmentation in the income-tax, because such would lend it rather an inquisitorial eharacter, which should be guarded against by every possible means, and he was assured that the expenditure of next year would not be more than the revenue. Notwithstanding his approval of the jealousy evinced by the public and the House of Commons on that point, he at the same time also approved of the judicious regulation of the Government to keep at all times in their hands a balance sufficient to make up for any deficiency that might occur. He did not consider that the sum of 1,100,0001., expended in carrying on the Kafir war, should be attributed to one year, because the same had been spread over two years, and he regr e tt e d that Sir Peregrine Maitland, who served so honourably in the Cape of Good Hope, should, through some unfounded information to the Government, have suffered so much both in his personal feelings and pecuniary interests through such an information. He should also say that, considering the events of other countries, that nothing was more judicious on the part of the Government than to keep up, and increase, if' necessary, the naval and military service of this coun try. And be felt perfectly convinced that Government could not reduce the taxation as had been suggested by many Member of the House of Commons, but there was cne specific method of effecting that, namely, by an indirect taxation, for a direct taxation is not needed in any free country such as this,. e xcept in the dangers, difficulties, and emergencies of war.—(Hear, hear.) He knew the feelings of the people on this sys tem of direct taxation , and could assure the House that the country did not consider it a temporary, but a per manent, measure, and as one dangerous to their best In • terests. He was willing to give his support to .the second reading of the Bill , but should at the same time enter his protest against any system of direct taxation. He hoped that, when this country would recover from the paralysis under which she at present labours, Go vernment would retrace the steps they have taken re specting direct taxation, and so alter their present sys tem as to raise by the indirect mode as much as is re quired, because such a system as direct taxation is obnoxious to their interests, and injurious to the well being of the constitution.(Hear.) Earl GREY said that he would wish to say one wor d in reference to the expressions used by the N o bl e L ord (Lord Stanley) relative to Sir Peregrine Maitland. He could assure the Noble Lord and the House that he had always respected the character of Sir P. Maitland, both as a soldier and as aj servant of h er M a j esty; b ut he should at the same time say that, if a more firm and de cisive rule of control were observed by Sir P. Maitland, the expenses would be much less, and that opinion was strengthened by the information of many authentic wit nesses. In a word, he believed that he was liable to the charge of many errors.—(Hear, hear.) Lord LYTTELTON said that he felt fully convinced that the information received by the Government was of a prejudiced nature against Sir P. Maitland, and that his conduct was always worthy the esteem of his brother officers. The House then adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS. April 6. CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION. Sir J. WALSH wished to know from the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had received any information with respect to a num ber of persons called Chartists intending to meet at Ken nington Common on Monday next, for the ostensible purpose of forming a numerous procession to move through the streets of the metropolis, and presenting a petition to this House in favour of what was called the six points of the Charter; and if the Go vernment had had its attention called to these circum stances, were they prepared to take those measures which might be necessary to secure the independence of the House from being overawed by any meeting calcu lated to intimidate them, and likewise to aid in the pro tection of the peaceable and loyal people of London. Sir G. GREY said—l now hold in my head a notice, which I believe was published yesterday, signed by three individuals, one of whom declares himself the secretary, I presume, of the Chartist Association, in which he states that a Convention, consisting of forty-nine delegates, will assemble in a particular place upon a given day, and some following days, for the purpose of superintending the presentation of a petition to Parliament, and to advise the adoption of such other course as they may think fit for the purpose of securing the enactment of the People's Charter. A great metro politan demonstration will accompany the petition, and persons are invited to attend at Kennington-common, where the route of the procession would be prescribed. Tho attention of the Government having bee❑ called to this notice, and other information having reached me respecting the intended proceedings upon Monday next, the Government have directed a notice to be issued, which they hope will be published in the course of half an hour, pointing out that, by the statutes and the common law of these realms, such procession is illegal, and warning all loyal and peaceable subjects of her Majesty to abstain from taking any part in the proceedings, and to give their best aid in maintaining order and preventing any breach of the peace that may ensue, —(Loud cheers.) Mr. F. O'CONNOR said that the course pursued by the Government would be taking the people utterly by surprise. There were several precedents in favour of these processions. In the year 1831 a praccssi of 100,000 or 150,000 persons marched down to this House and presented a petition in favour of the Reform Bill. In 1834 a procession of 100.000 also marched down to this House while it was sitting, and presen;ed a pee.- tion in favour of the liberation of Lila DoieLe.ter la bourers. A large demonstration of sailors also walked past this House a short time since. Those persons who have put their names to the document referred to by the Right Honourable Baronet, have this day passed resolutions that every man who joined the procession should be a special constable himself, and they pledged themselves not only to pre serve the peace, but to take any man into custody who might attempt to violate the rights of property. It was not the intention of the people to come down to the door of the House, they were to have gone over Westminster. bridge. He had never in his life attempted to palm a falsehood upon that House, and had he thought that the parties had any sinister motive or view, or any ulterior design, he would not for a moment have lent his sanction to the proceeding, or hare joined in that procession. He heaved that it was a constitu- tional right of the people to assemble in that manner, and he trusted that the Government would not further interfere upon the occasion than to preserve peace. He hoped that the people would be allowed to come down in procession as was intended to the House. He should consider himself unworthy a seat in that House if h e lent himself to any demonstration calculated to in cite the people to the slightest infraction of the peace. Sir G. GREY—With respect to the people being taken by surprise, I can only say, that at the earliest moment at which the Government could deliberate after they re ceived the information, they directed the notice to which I have before referred to be issued, and it may no doubt be in the possession of the Hon. Member for Not tingham this evening —(Cheers.) That notice will state what, in the opinion of the law advisers, the law of the land is upon the subject, and, without reference to pre cedents, I am sure, after having avowed the opinions he has with respect to the good conduct of the people, he will, I am sure, be the last man to encourage any body of men summoned to join an assembly to violate the law. Mr. HUME said that upon a former occasion ithad been asked if' a peaceable procession was illegal, and Lord Melbourne's GOvernment had stated that it was not, and they refused to interfe•re.. He (Mr. Hume) thought that it would be dangerous for the Government to interfere at the present time, and he hoped that they would be induced to withdraw this notice.—(Cries of " No. no.") PROTECTION OF THE CROWN AND GOVERN- MENT. Sir G. GREY—I beg, Sir, to give notice, that I shall, to-morrow, move, before the other orders of the day, for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better se curity of the Crown and Government of the United Kingdom.—(Loud and long-continued cheering). MEXICO. Mr. URQUIIART gave notice that he would, to morrow, abk her Majesty's Government whether they had taken any steps to secure the interests of the British bondholders in Mexico, in case of the cession of any of the territory belonging to that republic to the United States. CROWN OF BELGIUM. The lIoN. MEMBER also gave notice of his intention to ask her Alajest)'s Government whether they had given any guarantee for the. Crown of Belgium, er had, in consequence of the recent events on the Continent, entered into any engagement to maintain the existing order of things in that kingdom. CENTRAL AMERICA. The Hort. MEMILER also asked whether, by consulting the law officers of the Crown, or obtaining the authority of the Privy Council, the requisite steps had been taken to legalize the hostilities carrying on in Central America. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Mr. BOLTVERIE potitponed his motion relating to th• Ecclesiastical Courts till after Easter. WASTE LANDS OF IRELAND. Mr. F. FRENCH then rose to bring forward his motion for leave to introduce a-Bill to facilitate the reclamation of Waste Lands in -Ireland,- and said the time had come when that House must attend to the interests of Ireland; the time had come when the people of that country would take no excuse for any neglect of their wants, and he therefore • trusted the House would indulge him with its attention while he pointed out a plan by which much of the misery and suffering of Ireland might be mitigated.—(Hear, hear.) At the present moment there were upwards of half a million of agricultural labourers out . of employ in Ireland; and if they did not adopt some such measure as the one he was now about to propose, how were they to find employment for this large multitude? Emigration could not be resorted to, for the people were not disposed to emigrate, • nor would the inha bitants of the British colonies receive them if they were. What better course could be adopted, under these circumstances, than by doing what had already been done in' this country to a large extent, namely, setting the unemployed to reclaim the waste lands? All the Committee that had been appointed to inquire into the matter had agreed in opinion that the greatest good could not fail to result from the reclama tion of waste lands. The Committee of 1830 stated that 5,000,000 acres of these lands might be profitably re claimed. It had been stated that bog land which was reclaimed would, after a given time, return to its original state ; this had been proved by practical experience cot only in Ireland, but in Sweden and other parts of Europe. Such a measure as this would prove of the greatest advantage—it would reduce the rates and save the property of the - country; and, in order to see that the money to be voted was properly ex pehded, a central Commission should be appointed to superintend the expenditure in the different localities. As an indivividual Member, he had no power to provide by his Bill for the raising new rates, but he proposed to establish two unpaid Commissions, who should be added to the Board of Works, and that the funds to be raised for carrying on their operations should be provided by the Chancellor of the Exchequer advancing money to the counties upon the same terms and same principles that the Russian Government advanced money to their land- banks. The establishment of such land-banks in Ireland would prove of great benefit to the people, while it would avoid the necessity of making any demands upon the public Exchequer. Without, therefore, troubling the House any longer, he begged to move for leave to intro duce the Bill of which be had given notice.—(Hear.) Mr P. SCROPE seconded the motion, and thought that the Government should have brought in a measure for improving the waste lands of Ireland as an auxiliary means of raising the social condition of Ireland. He was of opinion that if they had brought forward such of measure when the potato crop failed, it would hay. saved many millions to the people of this country, and saved many lives of the people of Ireland. He could not help attributing the absence of such a measure to the observations of the Right Hon. Baronet, but he would remind him that money might be lost in other ways in Ireland than in throwing it into the bogs, as he said. And the state of Ireland at present was such, that it was not improbable that more money would be lost there for other purposes. There were 740,000 persons employed under the Labour-rate Act last year, and the same number of persons would be without employment this year as the summer ap proached. They would not only be wandering about Ire land, but they would again come over to this country, and overflow its labour market as they did last year.— (Hear, hear.) What he desired was to substitute a spe cies of employment of a productive character, for which labour now appeared to be thrown away. If the re sources of her land were fully developed, there would be ample employment for the population of Ireland. By giving effect to such a system, they would have a chance of creating in that country the middle class which was so much wanted there. The objection which might be urged to all he proposed was very likely to be the diffi culty of finding money for all these works. He believed however, that money would be advanced to capitalists as fast as the works proceeded, and that there were other means of raising money if it was required. With all the evidence before them, he trusted the subject would be taken in hand by her Majesty's Government. If it were not, the responsibility must rest upon their shoulders. The question having been put, Sir G. GREY said he did not offer any opposition to the introduction of the Bill. The subject was very important. There could be no doubt that much-employ ment might be found for the people of Ireland by the reclamation of waste lands, and that such a measure as the present would be of great importance as an auxiliary to the poor-law. The subject, however, was surrounded with difficulties, and if the Hun. Member got over them he would be exceedingly fortunate. He (Sir G. Grey) understood that no vote of money was to be asked for, and certainly that was very much i n f avour o f the Bid. But he reserved himself en details until another oppor tunity. :dr. S. CRAWFORD expressed his concurrence in the object of the Bill ; and leave was then given. POLITICAL OFFENDUHS. Mr. F. O'CONNOR next rose to more an address to her Majesty, that she would be graciously pleased to extend her royal pardon to John Frost, Zepha niah Williams, and William Jones, and all poli tical offenders. The Honourable Member said he addressed the House upon this occasion, as on all other occasions of the same sort, with considerable diffi culty. He had himself been for some time past so inti mutely mixed up with what were called political offender., that he could nut but feel that his bringing this subject forward bore somewhat of a personal character. He hoped that nothing which he might say with respect to to the trial of Messrs. Frost, Wiilt ama, and Jones would prejudice the House against the motion which he was about to submit for their consideration. The Hon, Member then recapitulated the circumstances which characterised the proceedings in question, and stated as a fact that one of the jury came after the trial to him, and admitted that he bad impersonated another person whose name was on the panel. When the case was argued before the judges in error, six were for quashing the proceedings as informal, whilst nine were of opinion that the verdict ought to be maintained. In claiming the royal mercy in fd.vour of Frost, Williams, and Jones, he did not so much rest his motion upon any fault in the legal proceedings, as upon the higher ground that Christianity taught a lesson of forgiveness when error had been sufficiently expiated by suffering. Besides, there must have been something essentially good in the characters of the three persons in question, for it had recently transpire d that Frost was now tutor in a clergyman's family, a situation he could not have held had he not been possessed of many admir able qualities. Were these persons, let him ask, to be punished for the sake of terror, and in order to hold oul an example to others? He therefore asked the Govern ment whether no concession was to be made in the case of Frost and his companions ? hitherto no concession had ever been wad© to public opinion by the Government
