A numerous deputation of noblemen, Members of the House of Commons, and gentlemen interested in the pro gress of railways in Ireland, bad an interview with Lord John Russell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Saturday, in Downing-street, for the purpose of inducing the,Government to consent to the appointment of a Se lect Committee of the House of Commons, with the view of inquiring into the present position of Irish railways, and reporting upon the best means of securing the com pletion of such lines as would be serviceable to the coun try in the development of her resources. The following noblemen and gentlemen were present: —The Earl of Glengall, Lord Castlemaine, the Right Hon. R. L. Sheil, the Right Hon. T. Wyse, the Hon. Mr. Cole, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir E. Hayes, ir H. W. Barron, Sir Robert Ferguson, Major Beresford, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Scully, Mr. Keatinge, Mr. O'Flaherty, Mr. bullivana Major Blackall, the O'Gor man Mahon, Mr. Boyd, Mr. J. H. Hamilton, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, Mr. St. George, Mr. J. Blake, Captain Green, Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. J. H. Talbot, Mr. F. French, Mr. Grace, Mr. Anstey,. Mr. J. Clay, Colonel Dunne, Mr. H. Brown, Mr. Grogan Morgan, and Mr. Ty ell. Sir Lucius O'Brien and Mr. Tyrell explained, that in consequence of the depressed state of the country, the directors of several railway companies, whose works were in a forward state, and the half of whose capital h a d been paid up, found it impossible to raise funds to com plete their lines. The companies who were in this po sition were the Cork and Bandon, Dublin and Belfast ' Junction, Londonderry and Coleraine, Londonderry and Enniskillen, the Midland Great Western, and Waterford and Limerick; and as they had paid np half their capital, they were entitled to borrow 1,260,000/. The present aspect of affairs in Ireland precluded them from raising this sum by loans from the public, but the directors were convinced, that if it became known that Government would make some effort to advance those public works, the confidence of capitalists would be restored, and the money could be obtained. The loans which had already been made in Ireland by the Exchequer Loan Commis sioners had nearly all been regularly repaid, with in terest so considerable that the Government had been gainers by the transactions. The deputation begged to add, that some of their number had lately waited upon Lord Clarendon, and that his Excellency had expressed great sympathy fcr the efforts now being made by the directors of the several railway companies to 'advance their works and to afford employment to the people. Lord JOHN RUSSELL having inquired what effect the loan of 500,0001. had had upon the traffic of the Great southern and Western Railway, Mr. REYNOLDS observed, that the loan to the Great Western and Southern, commonly called the Cashel Railway, had been attended with the most beneficial re sults. He held in his hand a statement of the receipts of the several railway companies for the past week, con trasting the returns with those of the corresponding week in 1848, and he found that the receipts of the Great Southern and Western Railway for the past week were 3,6281., and fur the corresponding week in last year, 1,8351.; showing an increase in the past week of 1,433/., being at the rate of 78,0001 per annum. Lord Joure RussEu.--The return for the week is, no doubt, much larger than that of the corresponding week in 1849; but have not a greater number of miles been opened. Mr. REYNOLDS admitted that the increase in receipts was not solely to be attributed to the improvement in traffic, for he found that only 90 miles of the railway were open in 1848, but at present there were 130. The Company had been enabled, by the assistance of the half million loan from Government, to effect this great extension, while the value of their property had been greatly augmented. The shares, which were a drug in the market before the loan at 241. each, had been in creased in value from, that sum to 371. per share. The loan had also enabled the company to maintain in full employment through the winter many thousands of per sons who would otherwise have been thrown upon the unions for support. He begged to be allowed to say that the present object of the deputation was not to advocate the claims of any particular line of railway, but to in quire of the Noble Lord whether he, as the head of the Government, would consent to the appointment of a Committee of the House of Commons, to inquire into and report upon the present condition of Irish railways, with the view of recommending such of them as were deserving of support to obtain either loans of money at a low rate of interest, or that the Government should guarantee the payment of the interest upon any deben tures that might be issued. They were of opinton,tha as money was so abundant now, they could get all they required if the Government would guarantee the pay ment of the interest. The Earl of GLENGALL observed that the Government might sanction the making of railways upon the same plan that roads were made formerly, giving the security of the tolls for the repayment. The Waterford and Limerick Railway, of which he was the Chairman, had nearly all its capital paid up, and was therefore in a position to secure the repayment of any loans it might obtain, if public confidence were restored. Sir PERCY NUGENT observed that the body of directors of whom be was chairman were quite willing to accept any sum of money which the Government might be able to give them. (This announcement was received with loud laughter, in which Lord John Russell and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer joined.) He had received :a letter from his board stating that in the event of their getting an advance, they would within a week give em ploymentu to 10,000 or 12,000 persons on the li ne b etween 'linger and Athlone. The company were also willing to zo on with the line from Longford to Galway. Mr. REYNOLDS said the Mullingar Company had expended 800,000/. on the line, and had constructed fifty miles of road, which would be security for the re turn of princip a l and interest. Lor with reference d JOHN ResseiL, hivingmade a number of inqui ries ,to the ofthe value; shares of several of the railways, asked how it happened that the compa nies were unable to exercise their powers borrowing in th e numerous cases in which half their capitalhadb een paid up? The deputationists replied that the condition of the country generally prevented capitalists from advancing loans on Irish security. If the Government would grant this committee, and thus manifest an interest in the un dertakings, the confidence of the public would b e re stored and abundance of money might be raised. After some further discussion, Lord Jonri RUSSELL stated that the application made by the deputation for the appointment of a select com mittee had somewhat taken him by surprise. He was not therefore prepared to state what course the Govern- REMOVAL OF IRISH PAUPERS FROM ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. A deputation from the inhabitants of Belfast waited on the Right Honourable Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department, at the Home-office, on Friday last, for the purpose of impressing on her Majesty's Govern ment the necessity of an alteration in the law which re gulates the removal of Irish paupers from England and Scotland. The deputation consisted of Mr. W. G; Johnson, the Mayor of Belfast, Mr. Fenton, Mr. Bates, and Mr. Bryden. Lord J. Chichester and Mr. Tennent, the Members for the borough, were present during the proceedings, and introduced the deputation to Sir George Grey. Mr. Johnson informed the Right Hon. Baronet that he had been requested by a numerous body of the rate payers of Belfast to wait on the principal members of her Majesty's Government, and impress on them the hardships to which they were subjected in consequence of the existing state of the law affecting the removal of paupers. The port of Belfast, being the nearest port to Scotland, was continually burdened with the importa tion of paupers who had emigrated to England and Scotland, and who, not having any settlement by law in these countries, were removed by the unions on which they became chargeable. The paupers emigrating to England and Scotland were generally from the southern and western parts of Ireland; and in consequence of Belfast being the nearest seaport to Scotland, nearly all the Irish paupers from Scotland were sent to that port; and being also conveniently situated in respect to Liver pool, which was the principal port of embarkation for paupers removed from England t o I re l an d, t h e l argest proportion of such paupers were also shipped to that place; the number of paupers landed on the quays at Belfast from the 17th of July, 1847, to the 29th of Jan., 1849, amounted to 12,100, and, according to the provi sions of the Irish oor-law, they b ecame i mme di ate l y entitled to relief from the Belfast poor-law union, while the guardians of that union had no right to apply the poor-rates for the purpose of removing those parsons to the places of their birth or former residence. More over, if they possessed such power, it was submitted that it would not be just that the union of Belfast, with which the pauper had previously been unconnected, and to which he had been sent under a legal process, should bear the expense. The maintenance of such a number of persons, at the low rate of ls. 6d. per head, would in one year amount to the sum of 47,190/. It was obvious, therefore, that unless the English and Scotch law of removal shall be altered, the consequences of this state of things will prove most injurious to Belfast. Sir GEORGE GREY admitted the hardship of the case, and asked what remedy the deputation suggested? The deputation thought that the system adopted in England, with regard to the removal of English paupers from the parish where they became chargeable to the parish where they had a legal claim for relief, could be carried out with reference to the transmission of Irish paupers, more especially as an inquiry is always made in England and Scotland as to the native place of the Irish pauper before he was transmitted to Ireland. They pro posed, therefore, that the English precedent should be adopted, that was to say, that when the Irish pauper be. came chargeable on the English parish, and had no set tlement in England, the justice should inquire respecting his place of birth in Ireland, and that he should be sent there in the same manner as when an English pauper who became chargeable on a distant parish in England was sent to the parish where he had a claim for support. Sir G. GREY said he would give the suggestion atten tive consideration, and communicate his determination to the deputation.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—M:kucu 9.—There has been a little flatness in the foreign wool market this week, but prices are well supported. ENGLISH WOOL M A RKET.—LEEDS, MAR CH We ha v e had quieter doings i n sales this week, though prices remain firm, and the advance may b e considered as fully established. Prices in the cou n t ry are higher than in the proportion of these markets. LEEDS.—About the same amount of business h as been clone at the Cloth-halls this week as last, but there have been rather more goods delivered direct during the week. The manufacturers complain heavily that they cannot get such prices as will en able them to replace goods at the present price of wool. The stocks are low, and if the demand continue moderate, better prices must be obtained. Business has not been quite so brisk in the warehouses this week or during the last week or two, but the foreign houses are doing a brisk and steady trade. BRADFORD MARKET, MARCH B.—Wool—The condition of the market is rather languid. Staplers find it diffi cu lt t o ma k e sales at prices at all corre sponding to those asked by the growers and dealers ; especially as the spinners have an ample supply on hand for present use. It will be seen that the prices asked at th e B r i sto l woo l f a ir were out of all propor tion to those current in this market, and materially checked business. It appears certain that unless the country dealers adopt a more moderate tone, the demand for the raw material must greatly slacken. Yarns. — The disposition to buy y arn s continues, and the spinners are generally engaged for some time to come. Prices have now assumed a degree of fixity at 103. per gross A railway labourer named George Howe, who had been a gentleman's servant, was tried at York on Saturday for the wilful murder of his daughter, Eliza Amelia Howe. The deceased was born on the 30th of October last, and its mother died shortly afterwards. The prisoner, who was desirous of marrying a girl with 3001., poisoned the infant with oxalic acid, fearing it might stand in the way of his forming the contem plated marriage. He was found guilty, and sentenced to death. At Salisbury, on Saturday, two men, named Green and Lawrance, were sentenced to transportation for ten years, for highway robbery. They knocked down the prosecutor in the neighbourhood of Swindon, and whilst two others held him down, the prisoners rifled his pockets of considerable sum of money. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1849. for common numbers, up to 36's, and proportionately higher for finer counts. There is no feeling that we are likely to have any slaikening, for nearly all that is spun is going for consumption, either to the home or the de laine makers, who still continue to require large supplies. The shippers are buying very little at present ; if they were to come into the market for any quantity, prices would most assuredly get up. Pieces--The news from India, and the higher prices sought for all kinds of goods, have caused somewhat less business to be done, both on Monday and to-day. The ac counts from America are considered pretty cheering, and on the whole we have not had so bright a pros pect as is now apparent, for the manufacturers are lighter of stock than they have been since 1836, and generally engaged to order. The same remark ap plies to the merchants, who are not large holders. Prices are firm without change. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.--We have not had so much doing in either cloth of yarns as we had the last week, buyers holding off expecting a further reaction in the staple, and no doubt making most of the unfavourable news from India; indeed some of the Indian markets are not very encouraging, judging by the accounts per last mail. In prices, however, there is no change, and manufacturers are very firm in their demands. It is probable that in a few days the momentary indisposition to operate on a larger scale will vanish. Yarns are firm, and any concession, however small, would lead to an immense business. LEICESTER.—Both the London and country buyers having supplied their wants, and also laid in heavy stocks, either at old prices or a partial advance, there has not been so much doing in the warehouses this week. The yarn market continues very firm, and worsted spinners are confident that present prices must be fully realised ; they are also indifferent about taking orders. One house advanced brown cotton yarn ls. per bundle of 10Ibs. The straight-down hands have struck for an advance of wages, both on cotton and worsted hose, and it is expected the wrought hose hands will do the like next week. The whole of the hosiers have not yet consented to give the prices re quired, and the differences in the stock branch are not yet adjusted. NOTTINGEAM.—The ebullition arising from the five turn-outs which have taken place is the different hosiery branches within these few months, has in a great measure subsided, the last— the silk knotted turn out, having terminated, like the rest, by the hosiers consenting to advance the wages ; and they have also established a matter of greater importance, by agreeing to a " regula tion," by which they all pay nearly alike. With a few exceptions as to fancy fine and costly goods, the hosiery trade is in a prosperous state. It is painful, however, to state that the lace trade branch strongly contrasts with the hosiery manufacture, it being ge nerally admitted that the demand is less than it was at Christmas. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 9.—The offices have been cleared this week, and prices hive advanced 6d. to Is. per cwt. The sales since our last rather exceed 1,000 casks of West India, and about 500 mats of Mauritius. Refined goods have met an im proved sale, at an advance of ls. to 2s. per cwt. In rum there is nothing doing. SOUTHAMPTON CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—There was a steady demand for the best description of wheat at to-day's market at late quotations ; inferior sorts met a dull sale. Barley in limited demand, at former rates. Not much doing in oats, beans, or peas— prices unaltered. Flour trade steady. BOLTON, MARCH 9.—The corn trade throughout the week has been almost lifeless, with little disposi tion to purchase any article, although offered at a trifling reduction under last week's rates. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette) PRIZE MONEY.— We have great satisfaction at being able to announce that the Admiralty have, with the assistance and suggestions of one or two officers and respectable navy agents, so far revised the scale of prize money, that the proclamation setting forth the new apportionments may immediately be expected. The classes, we understand, are limited to seven, according to the proclamation of 1836: NAVAL AIDES-DE-CAMP TO HER MAJESTY.—It will be seen by our list of appointments that Captain Sir James Stirling, Knt., succeeds to the vacancy caused by the promotion of Sir Andrew Pellett Green. The lion. Captain Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., is now the Senior Naval Aide-de Camp, and Captain F. E. Loch becomes one of the six paid officers. The unpaid are Captains P. W. P. Wallis, A. L. Corry, Lord A. Fitzclarence, G.C.H., and Sir James Stirling. Tice-Admiral the lion. George Elliott, C. 8., the Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, having been pro moted a flag, in consequence of the death of Vice • Admiral Ross, shifted his blue ensign to white at the fore on board the Ocean, on the 6th inst. The ships in port also shifted their ensigns. By the deaths of retired Commanders Connolly and Prescott, Lieutenants B. Day, Richard Syer, and Thomas James Poole Masters (1809) succeed to the half pay list of 7s. per diem; and by these removals, and the promotion of Commander Herrick, Lieu tenants George Colin Oliver, David Henderson, and James Gordon (1815) have succeeded to the half-pay list of 6s. per diem. PROMOTION OF OLD OFFICERS.—WhiIst hailing with sincere pleasure the justice which has at length been done to the First Lieutenant of the Victory, now Commander Herrick, we may also express a hope that the old and gallant First-Lieutenant of the flag. ship at Devonport will very soon experience the like favour of the First Lord of the Admiralty. He is an officer of 1807, who, before that period, as a midshipman, was engaged in the action of the 22d July, 1805 ; and was in the defence in the gallant attack on some French frigates near Rochefort, and in some other actions; and, as a lieutenant, served as first of the Pilot in her very smart action with the French frigate Legere, of very superior force, during the hundred days, in which action he was wounded. The enemy's loss was about 20 killed and 80 wounded. THE CAPTAINS' LIST.—We stated last week that Captain William Bowen Mends (1814), now in com mand of the Ordinary at Devonport, has become the senior on the list. Captain John Leith (1825) suc ceeds to the half-pay list of 14s. 6d. per diem., and Captain Patrick Duff H. Hay (1833) to the 12s. 6d. list. Five vacancies have occurred on the Captains' list since the First Lord's last promotion, viz., two by promotion of Rear-Admirals Carroll and Sir A. P. Green, two by deaths of Capts. J.N. Campbell and Blow, and one by the removal to Greenwich Hospital of Capt. Laugharne. Two promotions will be due on another removal, for which there are about a dozen near claimants. Among them are Commander Hay (of the Prometheus), who was passed over in Captain Edmund's case; Commander Mapson (of the Water witch and Daring), passed over in Captain Peel's case; Commander Birch (late of the Waterwitch), of great Liverpool interest, backed by Lord Lansdowne ; Commander Bingham (formerly of the Acorn) ; Com mander Hope (who has just paid off the Sappho) ; Commander Chaloner (of the Siren) ; Commander Dixon (of the Rapid), &c. Sines PAYING OFF.—We have on many occa sions advocated the utility, as well as the economy, of having a place appropriated at our dockyards for paying off her Majesty's ships. We are quite sure that, in the course of five years, a saving would be effected equal almost to the value of constructing a paying off dock or basin ; and we are, therefore, pleased to hear from all quarters of the great success of the experiment of paying off the Rodney along side the dockyard instead of at moorings in the har bour. By the mode here adopted, stores to an immense extent are preserved ; rascally Jews and Christian landsharks are baulked of their prey ; so briety is enforced, and the creditor as well as the sailor is protected. We trust to see an arrangement by which a permanent berth shall be appropriated alongside the dockyard or in the basin, at which all ships shall in future be put out of commission. STEAM-VESSELS.—AII paddlewheel steam-vessels are, in future, to be fitted with a screw for raising the paddle-shaft; but a turning apparatus is not to be fitted until vessels come under general repair. 11. M. S. " VANGUARD AND A MERCHANT SHIPPER.—A report has reached us of an affair be tween Captain Rich, of the Vanguard, and a merchant skipper, which is likely to lead to proceedings at law against the gallant captain. A merchant barque, called the Amphitrite, had the audacity to cross the Vanguard's bows, when, with the gallant captain's characteristic promptness to correct an error, or to demand atonement, for a fault, a boat was sent to the Amphitrite, requesting the presence of the master, dead or alive, on board of the Vanguard. There was no help for it, and the reluctant skipper was soon under the avenging, as well as the protect ing, halo of the Royal pendant, and as we have heard, contrary to his inclination, and much to the injury of his feelings, considering himself in no better light than that of a prisoner, his only scope of liberty for some hours was the confines of the exalted poop of the stately two-decker. We have no doubt Captain Rich gave the skipper an instructive lesson, which the grateful fellow is most desirous of duly acknow ledging according to the spirit of the English con stitution. ADMIRALTY PATRONAGE.—Of the nineteen Senior Captains on the list of 1814 twelve officers resign either good service pensions, offices, Naval Aides-dc- Camp, command of ships, or other appointments on promotion.

Berkeley, C. 8., office of A.D.C.; 10th, 11th, and 15th, Sir David Dunn, Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., Sir .T. Marshall, K.C.H., good service pensions; • 16tb, F. E. Loch, office of A.D.C., and Superintendent of the Quarantine Service ; 17th, Edward Collier, C. 8., good service pension. Of the next four officers (1815) the 18th on the list, Captain David Price relinquishes the office of Superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard; 20th, J.

Of the twenty officers next in seniority, thirteen hold good service pensions, A.D.C.'s, Super intendentships, and commands, which they vacate on promotion. - MAGAZINES OF SHlPS.—Admiralty orders have been received at the dockyards to the effect that copper lining to magazines of ships fitted to receive Dell's patent powder cases is to be discontinued. Several non-commissioned officers and men of the Guards have been allowed to purchase their dis charge lately, but no reduction of the battalions is to take place. LAW IIsiTELLIGENCE. ARCHES' COURT, March 10. (Before Sir 11. J. FUST.) GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. It being expected that the arguments of counsel in this cause would this day be brought to a close, the court was at an early hour crowded with persons who evidently took a great interest in the proceedings,. Dr. ADDAMS addressed the Court at great length, in reply to thearguments of the Learned Counsel on the last hearing of the case; and in so doing, after making some observations on the doctrines of the Church of England, as regarded the important subject of baptismal regene ration, read an extract from a recent pamphlet, in which the writer recommended that there should be published anew edition of the form of prayer, &c., authorised by the Established Church, in .which all those parts to which certain clerg) men objected should be printed in brackets, and that the officiating clergyman, &c., should be at liberty, when reading such service, either to read or omit 'uch parts as he might think proper. The read ing of this extract caused some little amusement smog the Learned Counsel. At the conclusion of the speech of Dr. Addams, which occupied upwards of three hours, Sir H. J. FUST :said the case had been very ably argued on both sides, and he must take time to consider those arguments before he pronounced his decision. This postponement of the judgment of the Court greatly disappointed many of the parties present. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. SENTENCES.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. Mr. John Cutts, attorney at law, of Little Bardfield Hall, Essex, and William Evans, his managing clerk, were put to the bar for further examination on the charge of forg , lry, with intent to defraud Mr. Ed mund Salmon, a gentleman farmer, whose estates are contiguous to the extensive domains of the first-named prisoner. The forgery consisted of the alteration of receipts for sums of money purporting to have been advanced by Mr. Cutts to Mr. Salmon at various times. The evidence having been completed, Mr. TYRWIIITT accepted bail for the appearance of the prisoners to take their trial—themselves in 5,0001. each, and two sureties also in 5,0001. each. The bail was given, and the prisoners were set at liberty. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. Livrearoot, MARCH 10.—The trade generally has con tinued inactive during the week. There was a small attendance of the trade at yesterday's matket, and the business done in wheat and flour was quite in retail, at a reduction, in some in stances, of Id per bushel and 6d per barrel. Oats were id per bushel cheaper, and oatmeal 3d to 6d per load also. There was scarcely any demand for barley, beans, or peas. The best yellow Indian corn, being scarce, brought Tuesday's rates, namely, 2Vs 6d to 30s for fat and round corn, but the secon. dary qualities of white and mixed were 6d per quarter cheaper than on Tuesday. Fine yellow Indian meal sells at 14s to 14s 6d per barrel. Nothing of interest in the trade to-day, and the sales made are quite in retail, and the prices for every article of the trade remain unchanged .since yesterday. MA NCH ESTER,lll.tacn 10.—During the present week a life less feeling has prevailed in the trade generally, and all articles have met a slow sale at prices in favour of buyers. Coastwise and from Ireland the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are only to a moderate amount; whilst from abroad the imports comprise 3,424 quarters of wheat, 2,400 quarters of beans, 4,192 quarters of Indian corn, and 24,924 barrels of flour. Our market this morning was of an exceedingly inanimate charac ter, and on wheat we quote a reduction of Id to 2d per 701 b. For flour the demand was very limited, and in the little busi ness effected it was necessary to submit to a decline of fully 6d per sack on any but the choicest qualities. Oats receded in value Id par 451 b, and oatmeal, the consumption of which appears to be much interfered with by the low prices of other articles of food, moved off tardily on rather lower terms. WINCHESTER, MARCH 10.—Corn—Although the Exchange was crowsled by farmers, millers, and corn dealers. ti ere ap.. p.ared but little doing—speculation none ; the only purchases being in wheat, just sufficient for immediate use. The samples shown were numerous, not only of home grown, but of very superioi continental ditto. Several merchants from South ampton endeavoured to press sales, yet they did not succeed to any extent. Generally speaking, finest Dantzic, Stettin, Odessa, and St. Petersburgh wheats exceeded the English grown, both as to weight and quality, some weighing 621bs up to 641bs per bushel, while much of our own was not more than from 591bs to 601bs ditto. Finest samples cannot be quoted much lower than on this day week ; all other descriptions might have been had at almost any reasonable price offered. We observed some indifferent red which sold at 6/ 103 per load; much offered at Si to 91 ditto; top prices from 12/ to 13/ ditto. Finest English flour sold at 38s per sack of 280Ibs ; for seconds, 34s to 35s 4d ditto ; thirds, 32s to 33s ditto ; Sweet Americ an , f rom 26s to 28s per barrel ; Canadian, 25, to 27s ditto; Silesia, 24, to 26s ditto; Indian corn, white, 30s to 32s per qr ; ditto, yellow, 31s to 34s ditto ; ditto, meal, per barrel, of 196 lin, 17s to 175 6d.

DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. On Friday afternoon a deputation of shipowners, con sisting of upwards of fifty gentlemen from Liverpool, Glasgow, Greenock, Newcastle, Sunderland, and other principal seaport towns in the kingdom, had an audience with Lord John Russell, at three o'clock, by appoint ment, at his official residence in Downing-street, for the purpose of urging upon his Lordship the necessity of re considering the Bill now under the consideration of the House of Commons for the repeal of the navigation-laws. Amongst the members of the deputation were noticed— Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. G. F. Young, Mr. Dunbar, chairman of the Shipowners' As sociation, and Mr. H . Chapman. The deputation were introduced to his Lordship by Mr. Masterman, M.P., and Mr. Cardwell, M.P. Mr. Dunbar, Mr. H. C. Chapman, Mr. G. F. Young, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Whitwell in turn addressed his Lordship, and earnestly urged him to reconsider the avowed resolution of his Government to repeal or ma terially modify those laws. Mr. Chapman also stated that a meeting, very numerously attended, had been held at Liverpool, at which only twenty hands had been held up in favour of the repeal. Lord J. RUSSELL, addressing the deputation, said— This is not a new quest i on at all. I am very happy to hear all the representations that you can make ; but 1 cannot consider it as a new question, held out for the first time, on which opinions are to be taken—a measure having been introduced last year on the subject, when a great deal of discussion took place. I feel that Mr. Young, and the other members of the deputation, have put forth objections to the proposed measure with great ability and information; but I cannot regard this as a new question, which I should take into consideration, or one on which my mind is not made up. Therefore, receiving your representations, and very much lament ing that I don't take the same view as yourselves, I ca n only say we must proceed with the Bill which is to be brought forward to-night. The deputation then withdrew.
