Tke United States and Canadian Emigration Society, under a Deed of Trust with the owner, has acquired 153,400 acres of Lund in Hopkins county, Eastern Texas, latitude 33 deg. north, longitude 95 deg. 9d min., of which district ti e county-town is named Tarrant. It is proposed, in conformity to the plan of the Association, and after reserving not exceeding one-fourth, to divide this Tract into 1,91 0 lots, of 80 acres each, and to locate thereon 1,910 families. With a view to an equitable distribution of the soil, each allotment to consist of about two-thirds raffle or lightly-timbered Park-like pasture-land, not requiring to be cleared for immediate cultivation, and one-third of contiguously situated timbered land, on the streams and head-waters of the Sabine and Sulphur fork of Red Rivers, Which flow through this Tract. Each purchaser of one lot to be also entitled to a Town-lot of one fourth of an acre in extent, the site of which is marked on the survey deposited in the Office of the Association. The allotments are K. arranged as to be as nearly as possible of equal value, so that priority of choice will become unnecessary. Theipurchaser will have his location assigned to him in the follow ing manner, viz. : The Tract is divided into mile-square sections, designated by numbers. The Society reserves not to exceed one-fourth. Each section is divided into lots, numbered from one to eight, subdivided for assort ment in such a manner that as each purchaser will know, on his arrival on the spot, the exact location that he has purchased, no mis understanding can arise ; the Surveyor of the Association will have the absolute power to decide on all questions of boundary. On a day hereafter to be named, and of which due notice will be given before the sailing of the Emigrant, a drawing of allotments will take place. The names of purchasers will be put into one box, and the numbers of the lots in another : these numbers will correspond with two numbers on the survey, representing two-thirds, and one third as before mentioned, and these numbers when so drawn will constitute him purchase. [lt is the intention of the Society to deviate from the proposed mode of allotment in favour of the first 200 Emigrant families, to whom will be given a priority of choice in those surrounding the town site.] _ A Certificate of Title in accoriance with the numbers drawn w' le delivered to the Emigrant, by which the Association binds itself to give him possession of the lot drawn on his arrival in Texas. The sum paid by the purchaser of each lot will Include, Flrst.—A. free passage from the port of embarkation to the place of settlement, with rations during the water passage and land Jour ney, from New Orleans to the town of Tarrant.

Hail, charming eminence ! I love to mark Thy beautiful ascent in Greenwich Park. When but a child I loved thee, and I still Respect the very name of One-tree Hill. Thy steep acclivity and crowning tree, Were ever honoured, ever hailed by me ; And many a time I've left the busy town, To try my skill at running up and down. Or stood upon thy lofty brow to mark The happy multitudes in Greenwich Park. Once more, famed hill—once more do we discern, The approaching sign of E-ster's glad return. And soon thy park will echo with the hum, Which plainly tells of Easter's season come. Thousands preparing for thy cheering scene, To .MOSES' Dress Establishment have been. And had'st thou eyes to see, thou would'st admire The specimens of MOSES' SPRING ATTIRE. Such splendid samples of artistic skill Were never known before, thou noted hill. MOSES and SON will show you something prime In Easter Dress for Eighteen-Forty-Nine. THE HATS OF MOSES, Which we soon shall mark, Mere, there, and everywhere in Greenwich Park, Are equally deserving of approval, While throngs of buyers aid in their removal. THE BOOTS AND SHOES In every sense are prime, And thousands have been bought for Easter that. Never did feet ascend thy pathway steep • With shoes so smart. so durable, so cheap. THE HOSIERY AND SHAWLS, I would remark, Will beautify thy scene in Greenwich Park. Nor there alone, but all throughout the land, Will proofs be seen how MOSES' dress is planned.

CORK, 111Ancn 30.—The weather has undergone a change, and we have had, during the last few days, some cold rain and partial show. We are happy to be able to report a slight im provement in the trade, and the appearance of a better confi denoe in commercial circles. Still, however, we have not that animation and briskness generally observable at this pe riod of the year. The falling off in the arrivals of foreign grain has, we think, imparted a firmer tone to the market, so that we have every confidence that, with decreased imports, we shall have a more healthy business and enhanced prices. The con sumption of bread stuffs of every description is large at pre sent, and is of itself sufficient to superinduce higher rates. Our supplies of home grain also have so dwindled away, and become so wretchedly small as to be almost unworthy of notice or account. This remark applies especially to wheat, the re ceipts of which from the 23d to the 21th, both inclusive, fall short of 100 barrels. In prepared (Irish) and in foreign wheat we have had little business, but holders are looking for higher prices for both articles. We have little barley offering. As seed time draws to a close it is probable that this article, as well as oats, will recede in value, in fact they have already given way to some extent. The consunption of flour is large, still the market does not exhibit a degree of activity corres pondent with the demand for the artieb. It is difficult to ac count for this fact except by attributitg it to increased compe tition in the trade, and a desire on tire part of bakers to beat down prices to the lowest point. A large business continues to be done in Indian corn, but holders having demanded an advance of 2s 6d per ton on the article, a slight check in consequence has been given to the trade. Indian meal remains at our last report. Flour—Firsts 14s Od to 14s 6d ; extra 15; Od ; seconds, 12s 6d to 131 6d; households 103 to 12: ; thirds 8s to 1 )s per cwt.

The new evidence adduced was that of Jacob Samuel, a hairdresser, who shaved him on Wednesday evening, and who noticed blood on his wrist. The prisoner spoke to him about buying a w i g, an d also a b out t h e cost o f a passage to New York. G eorge Moore, a pawn b roker ' s assistant, also identified him as the man who had offered to pledge the gold watch produced (Mrs. Henrichson's). Mr. W. P. Harrison, surgeon, stated that Mrs. Hen richson remained in a state of insensibility, and that there were very little hopes of her recovery. The ser vant, Ann Parr, when brought to the hospital, was con scious, but incoherent. She became afterwards more coherent. She was still in a dangerous state, and there were but slight hopes entertained of her recovery. From the nature of the wounds upon the persons brought to the hospital, with the exception of the' wotaids on the finger of one of the children, they might have bees produced by blows with a blunt instrument. The younger child's throat was cut almost from ear to ear, and the head nearly severed from the body. At the close of the proceedings the prisoner was fully com mitted for trial. _ _ .------ DEATH OF AIRS. lIENRICHSON. A telegraphic dispatch received from Liverpool yes terday, states that this unfortunate lady expired on Saturday night, never having, for a moment, recovered her senses. UESIDES the above P a t en t e d A r ti c l e , th ere is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is however, Registered, and consists in a 11.)DY GARMENT some what in the form of a Dress-coat, that Is to say, a Gentleman cm wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff formality to ne cbserved in the cut and form of the Dress-coat. The price is TWO GUINEAS, the same as charged at 114, Ild, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, UORNIIILL, for TIE REGISTERED PALETOT, which is likewise now ready for the Spring months, with alt t he new and patented improvements included in the above moderate price; this It deservedly bears the name of being not only the most fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to the Puhlkl, tt.e intrinsic value of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO rII, being, within the last few months, much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with an increased fineness and beauty in appearance. It can bt seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGE.:4T-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, bet Tr is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase -the wool direct from the foreign grower, and it does not lease their possession until it is produced In a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel ._ _ ington, and all others dlstiagulshed in Rank and Fashion, the Court, :he Pulpit, and the Bar. At 114,416, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, there is to be seen THE.. NICOLL.—A patented garme n t an d p os sessing this peculiarity, that whilst In its exterior it preserves every characteristic of he Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light 0 ercoat, or vice versa, at th pleasure of the wearer. This same timer lining, v hen detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dre.sing jacket. There are many other a.lvantst4es con alned in THE NICOLL, ren lering it as n garment a most 'valuable adjunct in a variable c.imate also for travelling, &c., but it should he seen and wo n to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon don only at 114, 116, 120, REGEIrr-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, an IT is perhaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. Ni 4 •OLL will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent position they have attained through the employment end liberal payment of the best skill and talent that can be met with in order to introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs.N. are well aware that their great popularity induced by the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered Pat tot, &c., &c., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goads, but the copy has consisted only in a close re semblance of the name but not of the article ; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in London. 11.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The debate in the National Assembly on the affairs of Italy was not concluded on Friday night. During the course of the debate several propositions were made by M. M. Bixro FLoccoN and others, and in order to get rid of the wh o l e o f th em , Genera l B taA QUAY n'llimazas proposed the order of the day. This was, however, rejected by a majority of 115. The order of the day, motive, proposed by M.FLoccorr was— " The National Assembly, persisting in its order of the day of May 24, authorites the Government to take all the measures necessary to guarantee the enfranchise ment of Italy. The order of the day motivl proposed by M. Mato, and subsequently modified by M. PAGNERRE, and ac cepted by the Government, was as follows : " The National Assembly declares that, in order to guarantee the horour and interests of France, and to preserve the integrity of Piedmont, the Executive Power, if it should think right to support'the negotia tion by a partial or temporary occupation of any point of Upper Italy, it would find in the National Assembly the most sincere and most active co-operation." The debate was resumed on Saturday by General CAVAIGNAC, .who declared that his policy had been to aid the Italians by means of negotiations, and to avoid war. M. Tnuas then rose and uttered what may be considered as the manifesto of the reaction. Throwing off the mask under which he has hitherto attempted to hide his intrigues, he avowed that he considered that the great and ardent desire of every people of Europe was to get back to their old regime, an announcement that was received with such shouts of disapprobation, that he was obliged to explain that he did not mean to make any Attack on the consti tution. Ile then proceeded to diseuss the question of war, with Austria in • support of It a ly. " W ar with Austria," said M. TutEas, "no one feels more proud of the power of his country than I do. It is a feeling which I sometimes push to puerility. Well ! believe me that if you were to have war with Austria single-handed, it would be a serious affair. You know history as well as I do, and you know what it required in 1,800 against Austria. Marengo and Hohenlinden, two of the greatest, the finest, the most magnificent events of our history. People are too much in the habit of saying that France fought against all the powers. Now at Marengo and Ho henlinden it was with Austria alone that we had to deal. Prussia was neuter. Russia did not send troops since the affair of Zurich, and England had not landed on the continent. If war with Austria be so serious, what would it be with the whole continent ? The union of Austria and Russia is notorious." He thus proceeded to declare the policy he would recommend to be adopted. " The policy I uphold here is, that we should not make war on account of Italy, and I say more that such is the policy followed since the 24th February. Ido not say so by way of reproash—it is the fact. General CAVAIGNAC has done the same, and I prize and honour him for it—he was actuated by the highest sentiments, and he conducted himself with great good sense ;" and concluded by eulogising Ge nerals CAVAIGNAC and LAMORICIERE for the great pains they had taken to increase and reorganize the army. M. TRIERS was followed by M. LEDRU ROL• LIN and M. ODILON BARROT, after which the Assem bly divided, and the order of the day motive as accepted by the Government was adopted by 444 to 320. This is certainly a great Ministerial victory, but the Ministry could not be content with it, and accord ingly M. LEON FAUCHER, endeavoured to get his law on clubs forwarded a stage. The severe sentence of three years' imprisonment passed on' M. PROUDHON had, however, so disgusted the Assembly, that M. LEON FAUCHER was compelled to withdraw his mo tion, having, by his utter want of tact, materially di• minished the effect which the previous division could not have failed to have produced in favour of the Ministry. The Reforms, in speaking of this division, says : " The proud declaration of the 24th May is now but a miserable epitaph on a dishonoured tomb."

In he First Chamber M. MILDE demanded explanations respecting the alleged concentration of Russian trpops on the frontiers of Silesia. The Ministeii of Foreign Affairs replied that recently no RSsian troops had been sent to the Prussian frontier. The Russian troops in Poland had at the beginning of the winter been divided among the towns and villages, and since then there had been no change. It was the custom in Russia to establish camps at the beginning of summer, and there was now a question of esta blishing one at "Warsaw, and another at the south west of the empire near the frontier. As to the mea sures taken by the Prussian Government for the pro tection of the frontier, he bad to declare that the relations with Russia were so friendly, that no extra ordinary measures were necessary, but that if a change should take place they were convinced that the brave Prussian army would enable the Govern- 1 ment to resist any unjust aggression. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 24th, add resse d to the Borsenh a ll e o f Hantburgh, says—" The Mi nistry has just communicated to the Diet that an agreement bas been made at London for a treaty of peace on these bases Schleswig, again united to Denmark, shall preserve its provincial independence, and be provisionally ruled by a separate go vernment, nominated by the King of DEN MARK, and supported by Danish troops. This is subject to a condition in favour of Germany.' The condition in question is said to be the occupation of Rendsburg by the German troops, but the Ministry gave no explanation on the point. It, howevei, announced that in order to enable these conditions to be discussed, the armistice is to be pro longed to the 3d April, unless foreign troops shall in the meantime enter the Duchies. Few persons think that peace can be concluded on these conditions, which were unfavourably received by the Diet." The Berlin State Gazette of the 29th ult. officially announces that the Danish Government had notified that it would allow the armistice to be prolonged to the 3d April. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have arrived.

The President then gave notice that the engrossed deed of Constitution was ready for the signature of the Members, and the House agreed to adjourn till Wednesday, the 4th. The Frankfort Gazette publishes two protests signed by the Austrian Deputies against the election of the King of PRUSSIA as Emperor of Germany. AUSTRIA. The report of BEm's victorious entry into Hermann stadt, after having out-mameuvred PuciaracE and defeated the Russians is fully confirmed. The Austrian Lloyd's of Vienna, of the 25th, says : We have received very tad news from Transylvania. General Puchner was victoriouslyladvancing at the head of his troops against the Szeklera ßern , when Be, collecting his forces, 12,000 in number marc hed against Hermann stack,' oocupied by 3,000 Russian troops. The latter defended themselves courageously, but they were obliged after a combat of several hours, to yield to numbers, and evacuate Hermsnnstadt. Bern then entered the town, and is reported to have committed great ravages. On the receipt of this intelligence, Prince Schwartzenberg immediately left for Olmutz. The Rhenish Gazette states, that in - consequence of the victories of BEM, twenty thousand Russians have entered Transylvania. PRUSSIA. A telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort, announcing the election of the King of PRUSSIA, as- Hereditary Emperor of Germany, was received at Berlin on the 29th ult., and the same evening the Town Council, unanimously decided upon drawing up and present ing a petition to the KING, praying him to accept the German Imperial Crown. The petition runs thus : Sire!--The German National Assembly in Frankfort has proposed the German Imperial Crown for your ad ceptance. We, the representatives of the capital and Royal residence, hail this gran event with jay. The union (?) of our German fatherland, ardently desired by the best, and fought for by our- forefathers, will now. after so long a period of dissension, become a reality. Majesty! The hopes of the German people repose in you. It expects that the destiny of Germany, both at home and abroad, shall be secured by a firm hand. Do not, Sire, shrink from this noble summons. Protect German liberty, Sire, so far as it can extend. Hail to you, supreme chief (oherhaupti) of Germany." At the same sitting of the town 'council it was, Ist, unanimously agreed to conf er the freedom o f th e c i ty upon 1~5. vi GAUNT i Aud, pecondl7 ; to 1241110 ITALY. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin on the 26th, the Minister of the Interior, M. RA, TAM, announced officially that the KING on the 23d of March had abdicated his crown in favour of his eldest son, the Duke of S evor . H e a dd e d , t h at he had also been informed that hostilities were suspended, though he was not apprised of the conditions imposed. He consequently did not think it advisable to pro rogue Parliament, as had been intended. Deputy JOSTI, after severely animadverting on the facility , with which an armistice had been entered upon, con • tinued as follows :—" Gentlemen, let us show our selves worthy of our mission. In the midst of so many paltry figures I see a venerable head, that of CHARLES ALBERT—(Enthusiastic cries of ' Charles Albert for ever !') ay, there he is, this mar tyr of Italy ! (here the orator pointed to the portrait of the KING.) All Italy will repeat our acclamations; history will recompense this man, it will render him justice; and the memory of CHARLES ALBERT will ever be venerated !" This speech was received with the most enthusiastic expressions of sympathy. Some Deputies asked whether it was impossible to resume hostilities. The members of the Cabinet answered they were entirely ignorant of the state of the army, but could assure the country that King VICTOR EMMANUEL would be a worthy successor to the magnanimous King CHARLES ALBERT. Minister BUFFA then read two bulletins giving the details of the battle. The troops were fatigued with the long marches and countermarches of the two preceding days, but the battle could not be deferred. The line of battle extended from the Bicocca, near the road to Mortara, as far as the canal, situated a little behind Cortcnuova, on the side of the road to Vercelli. At 11, A.M. the Austrians att ac k e d th e Bicocea on the left of the Piedmontese army. The firing soon extended along the whole line. The left wing, after having lost ground, soon rallied again; and the Austrians concentrated all their efforts upon the centre at La Cittadella, which was several times taken and re-taken. The Austrians renewed their efforts on the left, the Bicocca was ultimately lost, and this decided the day. The reserve of the Duke of GENOA came up; the Duke fought nobly, had several hOrses killed under him, but his efforts were useless. The action continued on the centre and the left ; but at nightfall the Piedmontese were forced to retreat. CHARLES ALBERT was con stantly exposed to the fire where there was the greatest danger. Balls were whistling round him, several men at his side were killed. During the night he continued to direct the defence, reduced to the town. General D URAND in vain tried to take him by the arm and lead him away, " General," said the KING, "it is my last day, let me die." When the KING saw that the army could not hold out any longer, and that he was forced to demand a suspen sion of hostilities, he said, "My task is now accom plished; I can no longer render my country the services to which I have consecrated my life. In vain I have hoped to find my death in the battle ; after mature reflection I have resolved to abdicate." The Dukes of SAVOY and GENOA, Minis ter CADORNA, the General-in-Chief, and the aides-de camp surrounded him, and entreated him to relinquish this design. He answered with firmness, " No, my resolution is taken. lam no longer King, the King is VICTOR my son." He embraced all present, and thanked them for the services they had rendered to him and to the state; at midnight he set out accom panied by two servants only. The principal head quarters of the royal army are at Momo. After these bulletins had been read, the President of the Chamber announced that Deputy JOSTI had moved that the Chamber should declare King CHARLES ALBERT to have deserved well of the country. Vehement applause followed this announce ment. Deputy JOST' expressed a hope that the son would prove himself worthy of his father, and repair his misfortunes. The Chamber responded with " VICTOR EMMANUEL for ever ! The statute for ever ! " Deputy LANZA added—" The example of a magnanimous King imposes great duties upon us. We must follow his footsteps. Let us swear to de fend the throne of his son, and the country to the last drop of our blood. As we demand the independence of the country, we shall obtain it or die."—(Loud applause.) Deputy CHENAL then, in an affecting speech, proposed the erection of a statue to the unfor tunate KING, as a memorial of the admiration they felt for him. Deputy RATINA proposed that, while CHENAL'S motion for a statue was being regularly discussed by the Chamber, a commission should be named for an address to the KING, for the purpose of affording him some consolation. This motion was adopted, and the Chamber adjourned. On the evening of the 26th the new Ministry was constituted as follows. The Ministers are all mem bers of the re-actionary party : Chevalier Delaunay—Foreign Affairs and Presi dent of the Council. Chevalier Pinelli—lnterior. General Dabermida—War. Chevalier Nigro—Finances. Count Cristiani—Justice. Chevalier Marmili—Public 'Works. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on the evening of the 27th, the Minister PINELLI presented the following document : " Armistice between his Majesty the King of Sardinia, Victor Emmanuel, and Field-Marshal Count Ra detzky, commanding the troops of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, concluded the 26th M c arch, after the abdication of his Majesty Charles Albert. " The King of Sardinia passes his solemn and forma: e u r iai r e s g e i l - t assurance to conclude, in so far as it depen li de li d ._ e e n ria h n i st honour, a treaty of peace on the bases folleowingn:g— -" The King of Sardinia will disband th .

All the Austri ans who have passed, the Sesia shall be ordered to return int) their own territories within the limits above stated. (Signed) " CUazoNowsKr. RADETZKY." The reading of the above was attended with /mid, murmurs, and when be came to the end of the third article the Minister was so violently interrupted that he descended from the tribuue till order was restored. At the conclusion, loud cries were uttered in con demnation of the armistice and against the Ministry. It was then proposed and carried, that the Chamber should declare its sittings permanent ; and resolu tions were adopted, " that the armistice was uncon stitutional, and that the Executive Power cannot adopt it without violating the law ;" and ." that the. Ministers would be guilty of high treason if they. permitted the Austrians to enter Alessandria, or if they withdrew the fleet from the Adriatic." - King CHARLES ALBERT has, it is said, arrived at Geneva. It was reported that a Republican move ment bad taken place at Cbarnberry on the 27th. RA MORINO was brought as a prisoner to Turin on the 28th. A Turin letter of the 26th, in the Patrie, says— "Do not believe all that you are told about the Lom. bards. The first fault comes from the Pinelli Ministry having had the weakness to yield to the pressure of the clubs, by putting at the head of the Lombard legion a man who, already, in 1831, in Poland, was accused, if not of treason, at least of great want of judgment; for he retired within the Austrian territory, instead of follow. ing the orders given to him to form a junction with Ge-, neral Riminski. Raniorino, at the passage of the Ticino, has committed a similar fault, which, alas 1 has been followed by similar consequences. Instead of opposing himself, as he ought to have done, to the passage of the bridge of Mezzanacarti, lie gave orders to make a move to the rear. A Lombard battalion disbanded, crying out Treason!' Th e res t d e f en d ed themselves valiantly, but were obliged to give way to superior numbers. The 23d Lombard battalion no longer exists. General Duperron has honourably sustained the French name. He is not killed, as has been said, but only wounded." The Alba says that news reached Ferrara on the 23d March, that on the 21st and 22d, 6,000 of the garrison of Venice made a sortie in the direction of Padua, where they vigorously attacked the Austrians, and drove them to Pieve di Sacco, five miles from Padua. The Tuscan Constituent opened on the 23d March, and the Government pronounced in favour of a union with Rome. It is said that a movement has taken place in Flo .ence in favour of the GRAND DUKE. NAPLES AND SICILY. The Neapolitan General denounced the armistice to the Sicilian Provisional Government on the 19th ult., consequently hostilities would re-commence on. the 29th. CONTENTS I.

LITIRPOOL, MARCH 31.—The grain trade kas been steady during the week, with a fair demand for consumption. There was a good attendance of country millers at yesterday's market, who purchased to a fair extent of fresh wheat, at about the same prices as were paid on Tuesday, but to effect sales, ex ship, a decline of Id per bushel was in some instances con ceded. Flour was in moderate request at late rates. Oats and oatmeal were held for full prices. Barley, beans, and peas were without change in value. Indian corn was in good request for Ireland, and fully late rates were obtained—white, 28s to 28s 6d, and yellow, 30s to 31s per 4901 b. No change to-day in the value of any article. A fair business is going forward in Indian corn at late rates. s. d. 6. d.I s. d. s. d.

THE PEERS' POOR-LAW COMMITTEE.—REJECTION OF TILE RATE IN AID SCHEME —The Select Commit tee of the House of Lords which was appointed to in quire into the operation of the Iri>h poor-law, and the expediency of making any amendment in its enactments have just agreed to their third report. On Friday after noon the Committee met to consider their report on the rate in aid scheme, the Earl of St. Germans in the chair. After consider. ble discussion, a series of resolutions pre pared by Lord Monteagle was adopted by a majority of thirteen to seven, and agrsed upon as their report. Of these the most, important is as follows:•—•' On a review of the evidence hitherto taken, and more especially of that which has been given by public officers experienced in he admitii,tration of the pier, and unbiassed by local its and interests, ii is the opinion ot this Committe e chat the proposition fur relieving the present distress of large districts in Ireland by the imposition of rates in aid, is partiel and inexpedient, as well as inadequate for the relief of the suffering population. No English pre cedent or authority has been adduced sufficient to justify or recommend this proposition."
