The C oa l s to b e sent out immediately. , ? ,1 2 :4 of Tend er may b e seen at t h e sa i d Of fi ce. ea tY, for PRICE sd. notice had been given from any quarter, her Majesty's Government should have ventured to submit to the consideration of the House a detailed proposal. for a measure of this extent, involving such interests, ex citing such hopes and anxieties, and that at the expiration of one fortnight from that time, her Majesty's Government should comedown to the House and tell y'ou that the information they lied given you is eh the infor mation they themselves possessed.—(An ironical cry of Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.) Is it not all the information they possess ?—(Loud cheering on the Tory side of the House.) Sir, I assume that the Government in giving us the information they have furni,hed would give us all that it was in their power to furnisk—( Hear, bear.) If they have net, they have &laded and deceived the House—(Loud cheers) — in calling upon Parliament to sanction a measure not only upon evidence confessedly imperfect, but upon evi dence more imperfect than it was in their power to afforde—(Cheers.) But I assume they have no more evidence, and then I say, for a Government, after talk ing auout the caution and deliberation necessary to be observed upon a measure of this sort, it does seem to me the height of rashness to bring forward such a question, and to submit it in the form of a pro position, to be supported by the Government upon in formation which they now tell you they feel to be in sufficient to guide the decision or to sanction the vote of this House.—(Cheers.) I came down, naturally expecting that the Noble Lord, having admitted and having contended almost as strenuously as I did for the removal of the evils involved in the sys tem of registration, but feeling that there were still greater evils thaa that system of registration, namely, the uncertainty of the law, and if there scar greater evil than that, it was the restriction col the franchise—l naturaly concluded that the Noble Lord, having the recess to consider this matter, having con sulted with his colleagues, and having brought forward a Bill which bad received the sanction of the Cabinet, and was a Government 'measure, would be pre. pared to vindicate and defend the propositions they had avowed and put forth as the foundation, as the princi ple, and, as the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary at War said, the very essence of the measure.—(Cheers.) And, Sir, I must not permit the Noble Lord even to take the notice he has done of the statements made on this side of the House without pointing out the difference in those statements. lie tells us that it is admitted that the Poor-law valuation is a desirable test cf the franchise. Now I tell the Noble Lard that in the sense in which it is so used by the other side of the House it will be' no such thing.—(Cheers.) Because the basis of his Bill is excluding altogether the test of the 10/. profit which was the basis and foundation of the mea sure which that day tea years the Noble Lord sub mitted to the consideration of Parliament.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord in his Bill excludes from it alto gether the value of the test of rating, and he puts in its place tie et qualification which any pauper may acquire. As a test of the nett annual value of the property, the difference between it and the rent paid in the beneficial interest, a rate subjecting the party to taxation is a valuable check. It is import let to limit the value of the franchise held, but unless the amount paid for holding was combined, it was no real test. came down prepared t r give the Noble Lord a notice, and I shall do it now notwithstanding the course the Noble Lord has pursued ; I cane down prepared to give to the Noble Lord notice that on going into Committee—of which I am as desirous as any one, when I shall be perfectly re idy to meet the Noble Lord—it is my intention to take the sense of the Committee npoa those clauses of tire 8.11 relative to the 51. rating franchise in counties, and the 51. household franchise in towns, and it is my intention to take the sense of the Committee upon those two leading clauses. I have stated to the Noble Lord the course I should take would mainly depend on the course taken by the Noble Lord. I give the Noble Lord credit for his ingenuity—(Cheers)—in this long postponement, thereby placing his Bid and mine at so late a period of the Session as to cause them to be defeated by the mere lapse of time. Sir, I do not hesitate to say that I entertain great suspicion o rd to o takee as to thisthe sintep ° tte ( % ( v ; h i: i e t s ha f s ro in m du t c h e e d O th p e po N si o ti b o l n e L benches)—and at the same time the Noble Lord, in taking this course, is well aware of the disadvantag, s to which he subjects me, by endeavouring to compel the to press forward the second reading of my Bill at a time when the Noble Lord would inform the house most plausibly that he has had the second reading of his Bill sanctioned by a small majority, and that he is waiting for further information at the earliest period to be laid before him.—(hear.) Sir, I see the inge nuity of the Noble Lord's course of proceed ing and seeing the ingenuity of ,that course of proceeding, and giving the Noble Lord notice of the opposition which I mean to give to the two le til ing principles of his Bill, I will not, under the sur prise which this course taker by the Government has caused to me, as it has to my Honourable Friends around me—l will net bind myself absolutely to any day for the discussion on the second reacting of my Bill. This I will do. I will postpone the or der from this day to the 24th of March, and within tea days from the `.4th of March, I will give to the Noble Lord a diAtinet declaration, whether, upon full consideration of all the circumstances, it is or is not my intention on that day to press forward the se cond reading of my Bill.—( Loud cheers.) Oa the motion of the NOBLE LORD the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish Registration 1311 was then read,, for the purpose of its being post poned till the 24th of March. Lord J. RUSSELL having movel the Order of the Day for going iiito Committee of Supply, Mr. HUME begged to move for the return of which he had given notice, and which he thought the more important, seeing that it was intended to MON'tt for a very large additional force in the course of the evening. The Hon. Member then moved for " An Address to her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to direct that there be laid before this House, copies or extracts of the Correspondence between tire Secretary of State for the Foreign Department and the Governments of France, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, since 1838, respecting the Pacha of Egypt, and the interfe rence with the province of Syria." POST-OFFICE. Mr. GOULBU RN begged to ask a question with reference to some accounts which had been litely pre seated of the nett produce of the Post-office revenue for the last six or seven years. It would be necessary to make a short st sternent in order to render it intelligible to the House. By a return presented of the net amount of Post-office revenue it would appear that the amount was 447,000/. which, as compared with the revenue of the Post office for the previous year exhibited a defi ciency of 1,200,000/. He had reason to apprehend that that presented altogether a fallacious view of the matter, under the new system, of the Post-office revenue, and the question he wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman was, whether that view of the subject was correct in connection with the statement he -,sas about to make. Of that 447,000/. which had been paid into the Exchequer a considerable portion was the revenue derived from official correspondence, and that, having been voted by the House, wa=, in fact, not a receipt of revenue, but merely a payment on the one side, and a receipt on the other. ney had on the table the month's officipl correspondence, which amounted to 16,0001., and it would therefore be evident to the House that the official correspondence for twelve months would amount to nearly 200,000/., which must be deducted from 470,000/. returned as post-office revenue. But there was another great item of deduction to be made. It appeared that on the Ist of January, 1840, the unpaid balance in the hands of the two collectors of revenue amounted to little short of 200,000/., and it was quite clear that the balance in their hand!, .under the new system, must be as nothing compared with the former balances, and therefore a further deduction on account of these unpaid balances must be made. Having made these two deductions, the result would be that instead of 447,000/., the balance to the public credit would be little more than 40,000/. or 50,000/.—(Hear, hear.) He wished, then, to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether that was not a correct statement of the case, and whether the statement which he (Mr. Goulburn) made as to the loss sustained was not as he had stated it ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the Right Hon. Gentleman had waited, in the course of a day or two he would have had that in formation he was so anxious to obtain. The Right Honourable Gentleman was perfectly correct in scF posing that the Exchequer returns included all the posting of official as well as private d oc uments. With respect to the amount of 200 , 000 /. stated by the , Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, as paid for offielat posting. under the new system, the sum was not so gre 'foe Right Hon. Gentleman here procoeded for detail a the difference in the amount of postag e paid for official documents under tho new system but he spoke in a tone so indistinct that he was q uite inaudible in the gallery. SUPPLY—NAVY ESTIMATES. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL moved the Order of the Day for going int) Committee of Supply on th e Navy Estimates for 1841-2. On the motion that the Speaker do l eave t h e C ha i r, Mr. HUM E said it was his into ri ti on to have sub mitted some resolutions respeAing the dsfieicnt sate of the revenue, as compared with the expenditure, but he thought it would be better to hear what the Government had to say to warrant so large an iecrea.se as was now proposed in the expenditete of the navy under the circumstances in which we were placed.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It was perfectly wed known that for the last four years the revenue had been deficient as regarded the expenditure, in round numbers, four millions sterling. The returns made on the motion of the Hon. Member for Harwich, showed the irregular manner in which this deficiency had been pro vided for. But the point to which he (Mr. H.) wished the attention of the House should be directed was that their estimates exceeded by three and a half mil lions those of 1836. They had gone on gradually increasing them since that time, notwithstanding the distressed state of the country.---(Hear.) Tian revenue up to April Bth was exactly 283,000/. less this year than it was last year, notwithstanding the increased taxation. One of these things must consequently follow, either the new taxation had fniled or scene mis take had taken place with regard to the ascounts brought up. It was not possible to believe that in the whole Customs Department and the whole Excise department, with an addition of five per cent., and with an addition of ten per cent. on the assessed taxes, there should ha a deficiency this 3 ear of 283,0001. He thought the Government ought to erovide some way of supplying the deficiency, and not to go on adding loan after loan, in order to provide for (his great expenditure. It appeared to him the House ought to consider if there was any necessity for continuing this large expenditure at the pre sent moment. We had secured what the Noble Lord and his colleagues had gone so madly about in Syria, for a great pitt of this expense had been incurred there, and they had been told by the Queen's Speech their object was attained. If so, clearly there ought to be a decrease in our expend:eure, instead of which there was a considerable increase to be voted for our naval and military force. He had as he had said brought down some resolutions eo submit to the House, but it had been suggested to him it would be better to hear the Govern ment statement, and then to print his ieseletions, and take the sense of the House upon them. h set 44 " He was determined to submit his prepositions= to the House, unless he heard to-night some very satisihetory reason to the contrary. 'Frac House then went into Cominiee t, when Mr. MORE O'FERRALL rose to propose the Navy Estimates for the ensuieg year. Before, how ever, he went into these estimates he would state the balance sheet of the year ending the 31st of March, 1840. The excess of expz,nditare for that year was 29,694/. This was the first vo! e for which he had to move ; and it was right that he should state to the Committee the circumstances which rendered that vote necessary. (The Hon. Member was heard with difficulty amidst the noise of Members meving from their places and the cries of " Order." Mr. Hume called out, I wish ti.e Right Hon. Geet t ernan woell speak up—we can't hear a word.—Hear.) Mr. °Ter rell proceeded—Previous to the year 1832, the balances of former years were left in the Exchequer and were applied by the Admiralty to such purposes as the Lords Commissioners thought proper, and occa sionally they were made available for such emergencies as occurred last year. Thet was considered a great abuse ; and was strongly condemned by the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Pembroke, inas much as the Admiralty took upon themselves to apply the money voted by Parliament to purposes different from those for which they were designed. Wl:ea the Right Honourable Baronet was made First Lord of the Admiralty he applied himself to re. needy tl.e abuse, and the Act of 1832, the Ist and 23 William IV. c. 40, was passed, in the 30th section of which it was provided that tire balance sheet of each year should be seat in the month of N..iveinber to the auditors, that they might make upon it wl at comment they thought fit. But the Act did not provide for the disposal cf t'.e mianpropri ated balance ; and it became a suleieet of arrangement between the Treasury aid the Admiralty. If any improper expense had been incurred by the Ad miraiiy, they could be brought to account for it by the House, and he was ready t. 3 defend their conduct on that head. The first vote was for a sun of 29,6941. excess of expenditure for the year ending the 31st of March, 1840. That balance on a sure of 5,090,000/, would not, he thought, be considered a large one, especially as it was impossible for any one to cideulate precisely the extent of sash an expenditure. The second item would be a suppierneet al vote for the sum of 161,5004 He should observe, that in August, September, and Oc tober last, gre.:t exertions were made in al our dock yards, seamen were taken from all the maritime towns, and ships were sent to every quarter of Cie world. 'Filet was at a time when' it was impossible to foresee from day to day what might occur. Other Governments bad increased their armaments. The Got element ' finding that this was the case, was ' obliged to iecrcasc our forces. The Mediterranean fleet was increase 3, transports were obliged to be taken up for the conveyance of reinforcements to the colonies, and the whole of that service had been performed with an excess over the esti mates amounting only to 161,900/. He therefore hoped that the G. veroment would not be considered to have acted improperly. He now came to the Estimates of the present year, and he should feakunder eonsii!erable difficulty in approaching the subject, as he was about to ask the Committee for a large increase, if he did not recollect that for the last six years, whenever the Navy Estimates had been brought forward, the Government had been blamed for not asking enough.—(Hear, hear.) The Govern meet had not been influenced by those attacks to ask for more than they thought was required—neither would they be prevented from asking for a large increase where they thought it might be necessary. In bringing forward the estimates he should cautiously abstain from the introduction of any topics which did not properly Leong to the Estimates, believing as be did that the question of the Navy Estimates should be discuseel without anything like party feeling, as a question which was interesting to a'l men of eli parties throughout the nation.—(Loud cheers.) He would commence by stating the number of ships in commisien. In January, 1840, the number of ships in commission amounted to 239, and in January, 1840 the ships of el! sorts in commission amounted to 242 ; making an increase of three only in the number of ships, although there was a large increase in the number of men. In January, 1840, the number of men em ployed, amounted to 37,165, and in January, 1841, they amounted to 43,000, being an increase in the number of men of 5,835, 1,500 of whom whom were marines. The excess of the gross estimates this year over the estimates of last year amounted to 7 0 9,650/. Tice credits in aid last year amounted to 195,500/., and this year the credits in aid would only aelount to 158 812/., so that the total excess of this year would amount to 766,6111. He would now go into the different heads of expendi ture, and proceed to show the different pur poses for which the additional votes were proposed. The next two votes were 3 and 4, the Admiralty-offica and the re.sistry of merchant seamen. In those there was a small diminution of expenditure. In No. 5, being the scientific branch, there was an increase of 4,414/., 2,146/. of which had been paid for the measurement of La Cable's arc of the meridian at the Cape. 'n acre had been also an increase of 2,268/. for survey expenses, charts, apparatus of the mathematical master at the Naval College of Portsmouth, and in the purchase of steam engines, for students at the Naval Co loge, and the re pairs of the Observat try. In Nos. 6 and 7, the esta blishments at home asol abroad, there was a small in crease in the two votes of 3,281/. That would be necessary for the repairs at Deptford and the steam factory at Woolwich ; and for the additional paY to medical officers, and the establishment of schools for the children of marine. It was also proposed to re establish the hospital at the Cape of Good Hope, the expense of which, together with the salaries of clerks and other charges at Valparaiso, would amount to 1,142/. In No. 8, the increase was considerable. It as was for the wages of artificers in the home/establish ments, and amounted to 46,784/. ; plicable to the payment of the increasedllio numberw of ece-work and shipwrights in the yard ; 12,0001. for full pay ; 10,000/. for civil iestablishmentsp ; and s &c. He did 13,5541. for the increase of teams, C • not know whether it was the wish o_ t he C om m ittee that he should state what these works were, but there was one which he felt it nec essarytocallthe e attention d of the Hous.; to, he mean t the at Woolwich. With respect to lie f works at Woo w i c h, th e Wet Dock would be completed next year, for which a sum of 1 0 5, 1. 0 0 would olwdo b o i. ul would d berul required ur beier eciudi requiredrefd ; e. r enting the . r y At r Sh eernes s the u sual sum 0 0 and at Cnatbam 4, 0 acc umulation of sand in th e r i ver. At Portsmouth 4,0001. would be required f or t h e sea wall, and 6, 0001 • had been expended on the wall that had been destroyed by the late storm. At Plymouth the new dock was in a state of great forwardness, and furnaces for ne w fires had been erected. No estimate had been m ade of the damage that had occurred by the late fire, but the amount of the value of the vessels destroyed was 38,000/., but it would take 91,000/. to reelace them. At Bridgewater a sum of 15,000/. would be required this year ; and at Pivmouth it would require 175,000/. to complete the breakwater. At Pembroke the works that had been commenced were in a great state of forwardness ; and a matter of 10,000/. would be reguired for the construction of a dock. New con tracts lead been entered into for the conveyance of the mails from Liverpool to Halifax, and from Halifax to Bermuda ; from Bermuda to Newfoundland, the West Indies and England, and Alexandria. Hat ing gone • through the different heads of expenditure the result was, that the nett sum expended for the year was 6,614,157/. This sum might appear large to the Honourable Member for Kilkenny, but when they recolected the efforts that had been made by other nations, they would see the necessity which there was for so large an expenditure. He would con clude with expressing a hope that the late brilliant events in the E.st, in which the navy had so signally • 4- No. 15,127.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec twos, which far some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from Carlow, against the Parliamentary gra-st to the Col lege of Maynooth. The Earl of RIPON beamed to ask his Noble Friend the Secretary• for the Home Department whether there was any objection to lay on the table of the House papers relating to the condition of a new colony, known :by the name of South Australia. That colony, es he understood, had been formed on a new principle, and was to have supported itself, but the managers of it had contrived to incur a debt of upwards of 30,000/., which they had no means on earth of paying. It was said that they in tended to call upon the pabhc to pay it ; and if that was their intention, he (Lord Ripon) thought it desir able that their Lordships should hays some information on the subject in the mean time. The Marquis of NORNIANBY said that if his Noble Friend would put his question in a definite form, he would endeavour to lay the information desired before the House. Messr . E.

SINCLAIR presented petitions from Scot land, praying for the abolition of Church Patronage in that country. CANTERBURY ELECTION. The SPEAKER informed the House that one of the sureties on the Canterbury petition was unobjectionable. POOR LAWS. Lord ELIOT gave notice that in Committee on the Poor-law B It, he should move a clause that the landlords of tenement; rated under 51. should be rated to the Poor-laws instead of the occupiers, and certain other clauses. Sir E. KNATCHBULL begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, whether it was his intention to bring on the Poor-law Continuance Bill on Monday next, on which day it was fixed in the order book. If it was not meant to bring it on on that day, it would be convenient if the Noble Lord would state what day it would be discussed ? Sir J. RUSSELL did not propose to bring it on on that day, but he would on Friday or Monday next state on what day he would proceed with the Bill. The Noble Lord was proceeding to address the House on another subject, when he was interrupted by— Sir JAS. GRAHAM, who said it would be more convenient if the Noble Lord would answer a question whictielie meant to put to him in the first instance. The ?rouse Vsould recollect that in the year 1539 his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for the Uni versity of Oxford, and an Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the Member for the city of Oxford asked the Noble Lord whether it. was the intention of the Government to grant any pension to Lieutenant M'Cormick, of the Royal Navy ; and the Noble Lord stated that the Go vernment had come to no resolution on the subject. Now he found, by the Navy Estimates, which were about to be referred to a Committee of Supply that night, that a pension lea•I been granted to Lieute nant M'Cormick for wounds received in the servic •. He wished to ask the Noble Lord what particular ser vice was it in which the wounds were received for which the pension vs as granted, what was the date of the Order in Council granting it, and whether be had any objection to lay a copy of it on the table of the House ? Lcrd JOHN RUSSELL said that he would answer the questions of the Right Honourable Gentleman as precisely as he could. The services on .account of which Lieutenant M‘Cormick had been recom mended for a pension to the Lords of the Admiralty were performed by him under the command of the superior Colonial authorities, in the capture of the Caroline.—( Hear, lie ar.) That recommendatioa had been made to the Lords of the Admiralty at the corn mencemeot of the last year. With regard to the Order in Council, he was not sure of the date, but he would have no objection to lay it before the House. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose, and said—He was about to state the kteetions of her Majesty's Go vernment with respect to the Bid of his Noble Friend the Cilia' Secretary for Irele.nd. He had thought that subject t equired some further consideration, and he was not prepared on the night of the last division to state the intentions of the Go vernment. As the matter was one of so much import ance the House would allow him to explain in a les words the reasons for the motion which he was going to make to the House. The first consideration rel rted to the general business of the House ; and on that subject he had considered that they were now arrived at the first day of March, and that the esti mates had not been yet voted, nor had the House gone into a Committee of Supply. It was impossible to say how long the discussions on going into Committee of Supply and the debate on the estimates might occupy the time of the House. It was likewise tes be con sidered that it would be very inconvenient to fix the Committee for a Bill of the nature referred to for some day on which it could not be conveniently brought forward, in consequence of the E-Aiinates not having been previously introduced. It would likewise, continued the Noble Lord, be very inconvenient to many Members to be summoned to a very full attend ance immediately preceding Easter, when very few would be disposed to attend the House, and when any debate in Committee could only lead to farther postponemeot. These arc considerations effecting the general business of the House as relates to the present Bill ; but there are other considerations relating to the Bill itself. If I were to consider merely the di vision which had taken place on Friday morning last, and the 296 Members who were present to sore against the second reading of my Noble Friend's I3:11, I should be disposed to consider, were I to look to that circumstance alone, that the measure was one which could not in its subsequent stages obtain the assent of the house. But the discussion on that second reading would lead me to a very different con clusion. There were several Members who in stating their determination to vote against the second reading of the Bill did not dissent from what I consider the general principle on which it is founded, v:z., its being advisable to endeavour to fix the franchise for Ireland by some clear and simple method, and at the same time to amend the registration laws in that country. The Duke of Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst had both stated in the House of Peers that they considered the rating test the best possible test of qualification under the Municipal Corporations Act. I think, there fore, that it would likewise form the best criterion of the test of the right of voting for Mem bers of Parliament. With respect, therefore, to the adoption of this general principle, I see no rea son to delay the further consideration of this Bill; but in order to fix the amount of the franchise, it is desir able that there should be, before the House proceeds to further deliberation, further information as to the valuation.—(Cheers and laughter front the Opposition.) I am surprised at the feeling and sentiment which this announcement seems to create in Hon. Gentlemen op posite,because I see on the benches opposite several Hon. Gentlemen who spoke during the late discussion, a id who made it the gist of their argument that, before they could agree to the 101 test, it was absolutely necessary that they should have further . information as t r the valuation. 'Therefore, when I stated that I proposed to gratify the appetite for information, I cannot but be surprised at the manner in which that announcement was received.—(Loud cheers from the Ministerial benches.) However that may be, I thick, in common with my Honourable Friend the Secre tary for Ireland, that it would be desirable that we should endeavour to obtain some further information as to the manner in which the valuations have been made, so as to ascertain, at least to a great extent, the propor tion per cent. which the valuation bears to the real value. I do not think it will be necessary to defer the Bill to any very long time to obtain this valuation. But I think likewise that it is of the utmost importance that the House should come to a calm and deliberate consideration of the subject. I think that the forcing on the part of the Government the assent of the House to that peculiar qualification which they think best, or on the other side a peremptory and abrupt rejection of it, would be equally impol tie, and with regard to a Bill like who e this,verbears concerningtire blamethe of whole pl ro i o n n te g r i e n s g t of in l i re re L l l a n n d ei unnecessarily the state of excitement which at present exists there, would be deeply responsible to Ireland and the country. I do not therefore propose to delay the proceeding with this Bill beyond the period when it can be fully considered. It is of importance that it should go into Committee in sufficient time for the Bill to pass this Session. I should propose therefore to take the discussion in Committee in the first week after the Easter holidays —(Murmurs on the Conservative side, :and Ministe• rial cheers)—and I propose that the Order of the Day be now read, for the purpose of its being postponed, And I should propose to postpone it till Friday, the 23d.—(Renewed murmurs.) I see the Hight Hon. Gentleman, the Member for Montgomery, and some others, seem to think that an unreasonable postpone ment, but my own opinion is, that to force on the dis cussion of this question without due consideration would disappoint the feelings of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Lord STANLEY immediately rose, and said—Sir, I must confess that I share largely in the surprise— (Tremendous cheering)—which has been expressed by my Hon. Friends around and behind me, at the propo sition which has been made by the Noble Lord, and the course which it is intended to pursue on the part of the Government.—(Renewed cheering.) Not that we do not think—for we have avowed it and declared it— that the information on which the Noble Lord in tended to proceed with his Bill was so meagre and so inconclusive as to be wholly insufficient for the foundio tion of a measure of such importance—(Cheers)—not that we do not think that the information, so far as it ssee.t in its meagreness itse:f, would tend to destroy the principle and the proportions of the Bill of the Noble Lord ; but I at least do feel astonishment that upon a subject of this immense importance, when the Noble Lord himself presses upon us the importance of the greatest consideration, the greatest deliberation, and the greatest caution, at the commencement of the Session, and before any THE EARL OF CARDIGAN'S TRIAL.

(From the Morning Chronicle ) That crying grievance on the Bab is trade—the Sound duty, is about to be brought under the consideration of the House o Commons, Mr. Hutt, the • Member for Hull, having given notice of a motion on the subject for the 9th of March. There is no question of more pressing importance to the interests of European commerce, nor any which calls more loudly for the interference of Parliament. How it has happened that in the twenty-sixth year of peace, a fifth-rate power like Denmark should be permitted to extort from shipping passing, its shores tolls to the amount of more than 200,000 i. sterling yearly (of which from 70,000 i. to 80,000!. per annum falls upon British shipping alone), whilst its right to such a revenue is not only in dispute, but in great part notor iou ly unfounded, is quite unaccountable. The Danish Government must, how ever, have long since been prepared for a day of retribution, and that day is probably not very far distant. It is impossible for the European Powers to permit the continu ance of the .e . ound dues on their present footing. The impedi ment which these dues form to the extension of our commercial relations with the Baltic ports is toe serious to be overlooked by the British Government, at a time tviien our markets are threatened with the active competition of continental manufac tures. Prussia is deeply interested in the abatement of a nui sance which almost precludes commercial intercourse between her Rhenish dominions and her provinces on the Baltic, SwedenSnciently exempt from the burden, is now one of the . severest sufferers ; though, indeei!, it is hard to say which of the States bordering on the Baltic has sustained this greatest in jury by Danish exactions under the Castle of Cronenberg. That a ship toll has been levied in the Cattegat from early times is true, but it is out of the power of the King of Den mark to show that either custom or treaty warrants the exist ing dues, or mode of collection. Without going back to those good old days when t'se Sound duty did riot affect merchandise at all, but consisted in the simple tribute of a golden rose noble for every sail, it is sufficient to remark that the Danish title is understood to rest mainly upon the Christianople treaty of 1645, and upon a subsequent treaty, or convention, of Co penhagen, in 1701. The Christianople treaty contains a scale of duties, said to be the groundwork of the present tariff, and provides that non-enumerated goods shall be charged according to the usage of merchants. This usage is explained by the Copenhagen treaty to he one per cent. ad valorem on the goods of favoured cations (under which category Great Britain and all the principal trading powers now stand), leaving 1 per cent. as the 11171. Vi. 71711111 to be required from nations not so favoured. That such were understood to be the legitimate clues during a great part of tke last century is well known, though at what pree,se period the present. abuses began it may not be so easy to dis cover. In " Busehing's Geography" (a Germ an work of high reputation in its day), it is stated that in 1752, English, Dutch, Swedish and French ships were net searched at the Sound, and paid only one per cent. for goods not specified in the tariff ; but that other nations paid 1 a per cent., and must submit to be searched. What, therefore, Denmark must do as the very first step towards the esta blishment of a legal right, is to show that the sys tem of usances which she has latterly set up is within the limits of the rates sanctioned by treaty. How she is to make out this we cannot comprehend, for, in point of fact, the usances exceed the legal rates to the extent of 2,4, and even 6 per cent. Sugar, coffee, and other articles of colonial produce, being unenumerated, are amongst the goods the most heavily charged by the usances ; nor are these usances establi-lied even in the form of an official tariff, so that, for aught we know, an attempt may be made to in crease the tolls stilt further, if foreign interposition should not speedily take place. Whether the Danish Government may not fairly be called upon to refund such sums as may be proved to have been levied in contravention of the legal tariff, is a point which deserves considesation ; and we trust Lord Palmerston w ill not overlook the just claims of British subjects in this particular. 'We are aware that his Danish Majesty expends some small portion of his Sound revenues upon lighthouses in the Catte gat ; but this portion is very inconsiderable, compared to that for which the public gets nothing whatever in return. Ad mitting that Denmark has a right to some toll, it is high time that the present exactions should be reduced within legal limits ; and that the Sound clues should be, if not entirely abolished, at least placed on a footing not absolutely injurious to the commercial interests of Europe. These are not times when either the King of Denmark in the Sound s or the King of Hanover in the waters of the Elbe, can be permitted tcc ob • struct the course of navigation at their free will and pleasure. We say nothing here of the Stade duties, further then to ex press our hops that the commission understood to have been ap pointed for their adjustment will lead to satisfactory results. But we wish to impress upon those who are exerting themselves for the reform of our tariff, that an alteration in the Sound dues is one of the indispensable preliminaries towards the en largement of our commercial policy. Mr. Hutt's motion will, we have no doubt, be well supported. Let the Legislature only supply the favouring gale, and we venture to say Lord Palmerston wig find speedy means of applying a remedy to the abuses we have noticed.

SUPPOSED MURDER.—Sunday afternoon, as I a young man was standirg on the timber, near Old Barge House, Bl ickftiars, his attention was drawn to what an p,:ared at first a bundle of clothe,, but which on nearer approach proved to be the body of a gentleman, about thirty years of ag e. With assistance he removed it on shore, and a fterwards procured a shell from Christchurch parish, who the body was taken to the Royal Humane Society receiving-house, in Upper Ground-street. On an examination of the deceased's pockets, some papers and a silk purse, contiinirig some silver, were found, but nothing to lead to his name or address. The head presented u frightful appearance, the forehead having been nearly severed in two, and there were other injuries about his h• uds and arms.
