92bition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. NORTH WALES RAILWAY. (THIS DAY). A meeting of proprietors in this company was held this afternoon at the Guildhall Coffee-house. Mr. LEADEN presided. Re alluded to the utter im possibility of the undertaking ever being carried out with profit to the proprietors, and stated that there were too few inhabitants residing between the two termini to make use of the line if it were constructed. He then proposed the following re solution :—" It having been found inexpedient to perse vere in the construction of the North Wales Railway, and it being advisable to invest the property of the com pany to tke best possible advantage consistent with its safety, until the affairs of the company are wound up, and authority having been given to the directors to rea lise a higher rate of interest, the proprietors hereby express themselves satisfied with the chairman and di rectors, and place every reliance and confidence in their integrity, and likewise in the security of the funds." Mr. BUTT said, he was taken by surprise when he heard that motion. how could he express himself satis fied with the investment of the money when he knew not how it was invested?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HERAPATH said, he concurred entirely with the expression of Mr. Butt, and he would ask again, to whom the money was lent? lie understood security had been given for it in the shape of Thames Haven shares, which had been bought up at the rate of ls. per share. By what authority had the directors taken it out of the Joint-Stock Bank, and placed it'out among their own relatives and friends?—(llear.) The bank were allow ing 4 per cent, for it, anti he had no hesitation in saying that they would have given 5 per cant. at the time if application had been made to them. He dissented from the resolution, and hoped that the whole of these mat ters would be: thoroughly inquired into when they came before the House of Lords. Mr. CHADWICK said he had attended the meeting, hav ing had an invitation to that effect, for the pnrpese of setting right any misconceptions that might have crept into the minds of the shareholders Mr. Archer, who was the first promot( r of the line, came to him and brought some very strong letters from parties who had:connexion with other lines, calling at tention to the very great advantages which this under taking would afford. One was from Mr. Ormsby Gore, and another from Sir George Rennie, and they made it appear to him that it would be the high road between the metropolis and Dublin. and, therefore, could not fail to pay. It was said that thcChester and Holyhead would never succeed, and that the Menai Straits could not be crossed except with great difficulty, and at an enormous expense; and it was upon the representation of parties of such great respectability that Le was induced to join the com pany. He allowed his name to go forth as a party t. the scheme, and the names of a number of gentlemen locally interested having been obtained, no difficulty arose in getting the required fund. Haynie', however, been subsequently convicced that a line from Bangor to Port Incline would never succeed, he eralaa voured in every possible way to discourage the share holders proceeding with it. At the meeting in May last, they carried r, solutions for the abandon ment of the undertaking, end at every subsequent meeting those resolutions had been confirmed. A reso lution was passed at the last general meeting sanctioning ull the proceedings of the directors w ith reference to tht in vestment of the money, and directing that the money should be returned to the shareholl rs pro rata, and lie main tained they had carried out the spirit of these resolutions. If the line had been carried out, he was sure that not a shilling would have been returned in the shape of a divi dend. In this, as well as in other lines, he had been the means of saving an immense sum of money, which, if expended, would have been entirely unproductive. The best proof that their money had been saved was to be seen in :the fact, that if there had not been a vexatious law suit, nearly every shilling would have been returned.—(Hear, hear.) The directors had thought that it would be advisable to lay out the money at the very beat interest until they had compulsory power to dissolve the company. Money at call was now every day being lent at 2 per cent. on the Stock Exchange, and, therefore, unless the directors had chosen some other medium, the interest to return would be very small. He had only to say, in conclusion, what. had been done by the directors was entirely under the authority given at various meetings of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Butt laboured under a mis apprehension in supposing that ho was a director. .5.1 r. BUTT thought the meeting had been called by the directors. The CHAIRMAN said it was no such thing. With regard to the interest on the A and C shares, the directors were so lampooned upon that matter that they were obliged to adopt the course they did. The le solltioa was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution to the effect that the shareholders had seen with regret the course pursued by Lord Monteagle, in summoning their chairman before the House of Peers, to force from him an invidious disclosure of the accounts pending a legal inquiry into the affairs ofjtbe company,:tending to depre. late the shares, and to produce and prolongue litigation. Mr. HENDERSON, in seconding the resolution, said Mr. Archer, the originator of this company, was highly censurable for the manner in which he had persecuted the Chairman of the company. He seconded the reso lution, not only as a shareholder, but as a member of the eneral public, and with the permission of the meeting, he would explain the past and present position of the con. cern. Some time ago the directors in violation of the law, but for the advantage of the share holders lent the funds of the company to the South- Western Company at 3i per cent., the public securities at the time in which the law said their money should be invested, not offering more than 2i. In due course the money was repaid by the South- Western, and then it was advanced to the Richmond Railway Company at 4 per cent. Eventually the money was a second time repaid to the company, and as at that period the public securities and bankers of the country offered a very insignificant in terest for money, the chairman and directors were au thorised to invest in private securities. After that a meeting was called by the chairman to consider the best course to be adopted by the company, and at that meet ing, notwithstanding the opposition of Mr. Archer, Mr. Buckley Hughes, and their friends, the shareholders determined to abandon the undertaking and divide the funds pro rata. Mr. Archer, however, and others, had thrown the matter into Chancery, and now Lord Mon teagle had taken it up, in the hope that he would work it up into a case to support his Railway Account Bill. But he would take the liberty of warning the meeting that Government accounts were not the best managed in the world. They had a proof of this in the Exchequer-bill forgeries, of which, no doubt, Lord Monteagle bad a tolerably good remembrance, and as these lawsuits and this intermeddling with their affairs on the part of the House of Peers was keeping them out of their money, he was not sorry that this meeting had been called to pass these resolutions. Mr. HERAPATH w ished to ask Mr. Chadwick whether he had not lent a large amount of the funds of the com pany upon the security of 500 North of France Shares. Mr. CHADWICK had no objection ;whatever to give the meeting all the information he could, but he must protest against being cross-examined in this way. Mr. JENNINGS could really see no reason for Lord Monteagle singling out this little company for illustrat ing the abuses of the railway system. It was well known that there were abuses in all companies, and from the highest to the lowest—from the London and North-Western down to the little Thames Haven, they could find instances in all where some violation of the law had taken place. —(Hear.) He, therefore, must protest against the proceedings of the House'of Lords, more particularly as the matter was in Chancery, and that Court afforded the fullest guarantees that the affairs of the company would be sifted to the bottom. I t was on that accotint awuste of time and labour for the House of Lords to investi gate the questions in dispute, and he hoped they would have the good sense to stop their proceedings. Mr. BUTT said they had nothing to do with the pro ceedings of the House of Lords. They had met there to discuss the position of the company, and he thou g ht they ought not to a buse the Peers f or exercising their privileges. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution was this : — " That a committee be appointed from this meeting to draw up and cause a petition to r be presented to th e House of Lords, expressing thelee mgs of this meeting," The resolution having b een seconded, was put and carried unanimously, after which thr ...... ee gentlemen , were selected to form the committee. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair. Zi The CHAIRMAN in acknowledging the compliment, said be considered Mr. Chadwick was an ill-used m an . He had been instrumental in preventing large sums of money being squandered on these worth less schemes, and it was too bad that he should be abused in this way. He could tell them, however, that recently a large and influential meeting was held at the London Tavern to thank Mr. Chadwick for the services he had rendered to the railway world, and at that meet ing the opinion of his friends was ;conveyed to him in a very substantial form. The meeting then broke up. FRANCE. M. Berenger, the President of the High Court of Justice, proceeded to Vincennes on Tuesday last, to interrogate the prisoners confined there, and to , receive th e ir d ec l ara ti ons p re p ara t ory t o t h e i r trial at Bourges. The Journal de l' Ai sme contains the following extraordinary paragraph : " We know positively that the Government proposes to convoke a new Assembly of 900 Members, in order to proceed legally to the revision of th o e nth Co n st i tution. This revision is to bear principally Chambers, e be t r wo following points :—The institution of two Ch li t nd power t) re-elect the President of the Republic . It app ears that, in this case, the Government will set a sidethc the n clause of the Constitution which declares that stitution cannot be revised until three years after its promulgation.' A letter dated February 6, is published in the National, from M. Huot, ex-chef de bataillnn of the 20th battalion of the Guard Mobile, protesting against the charge of insubordination brought against that corps by M. Leon Faucher, relative to keeping possession of the fort of La Briche. M. Huot de clares that all the effervescence which had ap peared amongst the men, disappeared the moment that it was known that the Government did not intend to turn them suddenly adrift without resource. M. Huot declares that he never received any dispatch `THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1849. to give up the fort, and that no officer ever came for ward to take possession of it. All that occurred was the arrival of a colonel, who did not belong to the Guard Mobile,who without troops orany written order, came and made a simple demand to the men to withdraw from the fort. M. Huot declares that the idea of resisting the proper authorities would never have occurred to him, and he protests against the supposition that he endeavoured to produce any agitation amongst his men. Barbes has written to the Reforme a letter, dated the 6th, in which he speaks of the visit of M. Berenger, President of the High Court of Jus tice, to Vincennes, to interrogate the prisoners for the last time. Barbee, not recognising the validity of the jurisdiction, refused to answer. On the point of legal defenders, he declared that he had intended to be assisted by MM. Martin Bernard and Quignot, his companions in confine ment at St. Michel, but that they were to act only in the quality of advisers on the trial. M. Berenger replied that if Barbes persisted in choosing M. Martin Bernard, the Court would be obliged to assign him an advocate ex officio, since, as M. Martin Bernard is a reyresentative of the people, and not a member of the bar, the Court would find itself disarmed of all disciplinary power against him. Barbes protested against the decision, and he expresses a hope in his letter that M. Boinvil- Hers, who has been appointed his advocate by the Court, will not come to Vincennes, to meet with a rofusal in person. _ _ We read in the Corsaire :—" A representative of the Moderate party went a few days ago to the Princess Demideff, and told her that a plot was being formed against M. Louis Bonaparte, her cousin. According to his account, General Chan gamier and Marshal Bugeaud had entered into an engagement to place the Prince de Joinville on the throne. The representative recommended the Princess to advise the President of the Republic to name Ge neral Bedeau to be Commander-in-Chief of all the forces in the capital. On this being communicated to him, M. Louis Bonaparte sent immediately for Ge neral Changarnier, and told him the whole story, and the General was the first to laugh at the rumour." SPAIN. THE MADRID MAIL TAKEN BY THE CAB. LISTS. The Memorial Bordelais, of the 6th instant, quotes the following letter, accounting for the non arrival of the Madrid mail of the Ist : " W e hasten to publish, in the interest of the mer chants of our city, who maintain such impor tant relations with Spain, the following letter, communicated to us last night by she Prefect of the Gironde :—The conductor of the mail, just ar rived from Bayonne, informs us that the Madrid mail did not reach Bayonne yesterday, 4th February. That mail was attacked and plundered by a Carlist band, beyond Vittoria, where the remnants of the carriage we re found dispersed on the road. We have received no certain informtien respecting the fate of the dispatches. Notice of this occurrence was brought to Bayonne by an express, sent by the director of the Vittoria post-office, the hearer of the correspondence from that town only."

Their Lordships then proceeded to appoint the Lord Privy Seal, Lord Hawarden, Lord Beaumont, and seve ral other Noble Lords to manage a conference with the Commons on the subject of ingrossing Bills. Their L irdships, so appointed, left the House, and alter an ab sence of ten minutes returned and reported that the conference had been held. degraded certain districts of Ireland, when the Government felt it to be their duty to ap peal to this House for extraordinary powers to aid in the repression of agrarian crime in the southern dis triets of Ireland, he did not hesitate to respond to that appeal ; and when, in the last year, political excitement had been so heightened in various districts throughout the country, then be thought it but an act of mercy to many young and hasty men engaged in the rebellion at that mull-sent, that restrictions should be imposed upon them calculated to preserve their honour and their lives. When he thought it his duty to give hie support to the propos.tion of the Go vernment, he did so on plain and palpable grounds He did say the absence of political excitement was essential totthe industrial progression and social improvement of Ireland; and he felt that amid the political disturbance and social disruption in those rural districts of Ireland, no party suf• fered so much as the poor labouring classes of that ceuntry —(clear, hear)—and he felt, that every matt, practi cally acquainted with the condition end eircumstaeces, of certain districts in Ireland was bound to give his un qualified sum rt to the measure of her Majesty's Go vernment. But he believed in no country, ur at no time, was such a matter brought forward as that which had now been placed before the House. I there were facts notorious public in Ireland to justify the introduction of this Bill, he should have no hesitation in giving it at once his unqualified support. If he could trace anything to justify the Herne Secretary in holding up to the llcuse and to the country any portion' of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland as disloyal or dis affected, ho should have no hesitation in giving his support to that Bill. Jf he had any grounds to jus tify him in apprehending that any considerable portion of the Irish people were at this moment disloyal or disaffected, he should have no hesitation to give unqualified support to this measure, but while he had no small opportunities of judging of He understood that the measure was introduced as a social and not as a political measure, and it was de decidedly understood also that it should in no way in terfere with the question of the Repeal of the Union. He had been led to believe that under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act only 120 individuals were imprisoned, and he helieved that only 109 persons were retained in prison under the the feelings of the people in the southern districts of Ireland, he was bound to say, from his extensive acquaint ance with the feelings of the poorer classes in the proclaimed districts of Ireland, he felt it his duty emphatically to declare that those poor people were unalterably attached to the institutions of this country, and that they were devoted and loyal to the person and the crown of the Queen—(Hear, hear)—and if there were any discontent and disaffection among the people of Ireland, that dis content and disaffection arising from the policy of the existing Cabinet. —(llca, hear.) He complained of the grounds on which the present Bill was introduced. It seemed to him that the letter of the Lord- Lieutenant had been read for the purpose of persuading the House to a continuance of the coercive legislation on Ireland, as calculatee to stimulate the industry and to develop the resources of that country. He had already said he acknowledged that public tranquillity and social order were essential to the progress of in dustry in Ireland; but it would be idle and puerile to contend that the existence- of: &espial order alone ever could secure of the people of leeke,nd the blessings and consequences of industrial occupatienS. (Hear, hear.) He averred that if they deserved to scare capital from Ireland—(llear, hear)—if they de• sired to hunt froth the country the independent end in dustrious portion of its population, they would continue that miserable system of coercion —(Hear, hear)—that miserable make-shift, they would continue to snepend the constitution of that country, and to place the people at the mercy of a pelitical dictator.—(Hear, hear.) to the lower sorts not much has been passing.

THOMPSON presented a petition from Wake field, praying for the abolition of ecclesiastical courts. THE 'NAVIGATION-LAWS. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice of his intention to move for a Committee of the whole House on Friday next to consider the navigation-laws. Mr. ROBINSON was anxious to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman whether it was his intention to put the House in possession of the resolutions he ~ tended to move relative to the navigation-laws, before the House went into Committee on the subject. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was his intention to adopt the same course he did in the last session, namely, to move for a Committee of the whole House on the subject, and as he should then state to the Com mittee the resolutions he inteJld to propose, he must decline putting the House in possession of it. until after he had explained to the Committee the course he intended to pursue. THE RECTORY OF BISHOPSWEARMOUTIE Mr. HORSMAN wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Government whether he was enabled to tell the House what the new arrangements were with respect to the distribution of the temporalities of the rectory of Bishopswearmouth since the death of Dr. Wellesley. Lord M.T. RUSSELL sai 1, in consequence of the intimation he had received from the Hon. Member, he had written to the Bishop of Durham, informing him of what had passed, at the same time stating to him that it was entirely at his option whether he gave the information or not. The Bishop, in his answer, stated that he did, not recognise the right to ask him the question, without further inquiry; but that he had no objection to furnish the means of giving all the imformation required, and in his power. It appeared that when the vacancy occurred by the death of Dr. Wellesley a deputation waited upon the Bishop and stated that it was their wish that a new division should take place with respect to the revenues of the rectory. Those revenues consisted of tithes, of the rents . of , the glebe lands, and the rents of way leaves for coals. TLe whole value of the rectory of Bishopswearmouth in the time of the late incumbent was 3,6281., out of which the pay ments he had to make amounted to 1,605/, leaving 2,0231. The future rector would receive 1,2001.: the remainder; would be placed in the hands of trustees for the four incumbents. Oa the motion of Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL leave of absence was given to Mr. Maurice O'Connell for a month, on account of indisposition. THE SECESSION OF MINISTERS OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Mr. GRANGER wished to ask Lord John Russell whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government during the present session to bring forward any measure to relieve clergymen who had seceded from the Estab lished Church against the penal cons( quences of ecclesi astical censures, incurred by preaching in other places of worship. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a Bill on the subject referred to.—(Hear.) The Hen. Member for Kilmarnock had given notice of his intention to intro duce a Bill on the subject. COMMITTEE ON IRISH POOR-LAWS. Mr. lIENRY inquired if it was the intention of the Government to propose an enlargement of the Committee on the Irish poor-laws; and also whether it was their in tention to propose that Mr. Bright be a member.: Lord J. RUSSELL said it was intended to enlarge the Committee, and that it was intended to add the name of Mr. Bright.—(Hear, hear.) THE REVENUE. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the Chancellor of the Ex chc quer whether any steps had been taken by the Go vernment to carry out, wholly or in part, the resolution of the House of the 30th of May last, proposed by Dr. Bowring, and whether the gross receipt of revenue, averaging about 7,000,000/. per annum, which has hitherto been stopped in its progress to the Exchequer, will in future be paid iato the Exchequer, and placed under the direct authority and control of Parliament? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that steps had been taken by the Government to carry out the resolutions proposed in May last, as far as was practicable. With respect to the latter: part of the question, it was not so easy to give an answer— steps were taken, as he had st a t e d, t o curry out the resolution whenever practicable; but he could not under take to say that all the surplus rEceived into the Exche quer would be voted by Parliament. SUSPENSION OF HABEAS CORPUS ACT. On the motion that the House go into Committee upon the second reading of this Bill, Mr. O'FLAIIERTY said he was compelled to say that he had not yet beard a single argument which had convinced him that the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act was necessary in Ireland. Whatever might be the opinions which were entertained by persons with refe rence to the prejudices and feelings that existed in that country, be must say that there were no feel ings of disloyalty now existing. There might have been some such feelings at one period, been g ross ly ex agg e rat e d had d here could be no doubt that b b y ut int h e e res b t e e l d iev a e g d itat t o h r e s y . political agitators were now looked upon with great dis gust in Ireland. The suspension of this Act would have the effect of putting down constitutional agitation, which was the best safeguard for the liberties of a free country. He would ask the free-trade party in that House not to assist the Government on the present occasion and deprive the Irish people of every vestige of their liberty for the time might come when the same course would be used against themselves for the purpose of putting down all expression of opinion in Lancashire and Yorkshire.—(Hear, bear-) He hoped it would not be permitted in Ireland because it would tend to the subversion to every thing like political discussion or liberty.—(Hear, hear.) Considering the wretchedness which now existed in the west of Ireland, he was of opinion that if the Government relief measure was not adopted thousands would die of starvation in a day. —(Hear, hear.)—Under these circumstances he felt constrained to vote for that measure, but until they went to the root of the evils of that country, there would be continual agitation, and annual applications for votes of the prese nt nature. Last Ses sion Lord John Russell had exp ressed his o p inion of the necessity of some great measures for Ireland, and he felt disappointed that the Government had not come for ward with them. The only great measure this Session appeared to be the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.—(Hear ' hear.) He trusted that the Noble Lor d would come forward with some comprehensive measure to romovo the evils which the bad legislation of this country had produced in Ireland. The question now before the House had been fully debated by Members more able than himself, but he thought he should be wanting in his duty if he did not fairly ex press his opinion that there would be no end to votes of money for the relief of Ireland unless some effec tive measures of redress were introduced. The Poor-law was no doubt a good foundation to begin upon, but there were many other grievances such as the abominable grand j ury laws which ought immediately to be inquired into. They ought to look to the destinies of that country and come forward with some remedial measures.—(Hear.) Mr. SADLIER said, he could not think of occupying one moment of the valuable time of this House, in de liberating on the imperative necessity and importance of maintaining the constitutional and rational liberties of the Irish people wholly unimpaired, did ho not feel strongly on the subject. He acknowledged that circumstances had arisen, and circumstances might l i e n r k ties the o r f e probably arise, to justify those who might be jealous in maintaining those constitutional liberties in all their int egr ity, i n appealing to this House for a par- Pal and t em p orar y sus p ens ion of the privileges and b his had fellow bcen cnoounteire whatever But hedid think made oot h .) her Majesty's Althisti•rs—(li:!,,r,ll: ar)—to ju , ,tity them iu app ea li ng further to this Hull,: at this u.ruululit fur s extension of the system now in operation in his country. He had only to say that, when in 1847, a flagrant and open system of assassination disturbed and same authority. lle might indeed cite the xpressioes of the Ministry themselves as a reas al for opposing the present proposition. As an evidence of the sate of feeling among the Irish`people, he might state that within the last few months, at a time of the greatest polit:cal excitement, it had been his duty at a public dinner, in one of the proclaimed districts, to give as a Least her Majesty's health, and and he coat say— as it eas indeed his bounden duty—to the flou,e that nowhere could that sentiment have been received more in accordance with the feelings of any loyal subject, or even as her Majesty herself might have desired. He had also, in his capacity of Chairman, been desirous of giving the health of Lord Clarendon, but he found from the temper of those present that there would be au in superable difficulty iu separating a private and deserved compliment to that respected nobleman from a personal approval of the conduct and policy of her Majesty's Mi nisters, and desirous as he was of paying that compliment be was compelled, in compliance with the temper of the people, to give up his design. They could nut forget the manner in which when, in opposition, her Majesty's Ministers had, with so much excitement, en forced the claims of the Irish people, and the energy and power with which they had always entered into any discussion that was connected with Irish subject. He could not forget the effect with which they had spoken of the ex pense of retaining 25,000 men for the defence of Ireland, in days now long since gone by. He thought the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern ment had neglected many opportunities since his return to office of doing good to Ireland. He ought long ago to have availed himself of the singular opportunity of all parties having but one feeling upon the subject of Ireland and willing to give him support in the introduction of a comprehensive scheme calcu lated to remove the miseries and redress the; griev ances of the people of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord took occasion, during the last session, to protect and defend the policy of Government and in speaking of the distribution of millions of the public money in Ireland, he threw the responsibility and blame, expenditure of the funds upon the gentry and ratepayers of Ireland. He said they had within themselves the power of diverting into more pro ductive channels the immense fund that was voted for the relief of the Irish distress, but the Noble Lord omitted to inform the House that no discre tion was vested in the people of Ireland with regard to the appropriation of the fund. lie forgot to inform the House the fund was totally and absolutely at the control of the Government. The conduct of Government with refer ence to the condition of the labouring classes of Ireland was calculated to create in that country a feeling of discontent and dissatisfaction, and a want of confidence in the resources and resuscitating fertility of the land—a feeling which would take a long time to remove. Could any thing be more disheartening to the enterprising and industrious man in Ireland than the exhibition which three Members of the Cabinet had presented to the House during the present week.—(Hear.) Essaying to discuss subjects which must always be of vital importance lo every interest in Ireland what had been therebourse? The Home Secre tary for Ireland assured 'them the question of the area of taxation in connection with the Irish Poor-law was one of such vital consequence, and involved so much in difficulties, that it was kimossible to legislate upon the subject, and the matter must be referred to a Committee, but during the same week he informed the House that under the existing law the Poor law Com missioners had the power of treating that difficult ques tion and adjudicating upon it. And in the same week he told the House that the vital question was to form no portion of the investigation of the Committee about to be appointed. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") The Chancellor ef the Exchequer had occasion to admit to the app dling destitution of eerta,n districts in Ireland, and he furnished them with statistics of the misery and sufferings of the people with which they had all been previously too familiar, but what was his surprise when the Right Hon. Gentleman in the same breath confessed that he hal come to no conclusion on the subject, nor had he any proposition or remedy to propound with the view of mitigating the evil.—(Hear, hear.) CONFERENCE WITH THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords appeared at the table and stated that their _Lordships were desirous of having a conference with the Commons on the subject of en grossing Bills. Members were accordingly selected to conduct the Conference, and retired to enter upon their duties. After a short absence the conference returned, and Sir GEORGE GREY reported to the House that the conference from the House of Lords had agreed with the Commons with respect to the alterations proposed. Mr. SADLIER resumed his address and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) MARKET IN TELLIGEN CE. (From the London New Price Current of Feb. 9.)

The LORD CKANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool sack shortly after Five o'clock. The Earl of CLARE presented a petition from some plans in Ireland, praying for an alteration in the Irish poor•laws. Lord FARNHAM presented a petition from Galit, in the County of Galway, praying for an inquiry into the working of the Irish poor laws. Also several peti tions, praying for an alteration in the area of taxation to the relief of the Irish poor._ _ IM RIdRATION-TA X. Lord STANLEY rose to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the colonies, what measures had been taken to induce the Colonial Legislature to reduce the tax imposed upon immigrants entering the British Colonies in North America. Several of his own tenants were about to emigrate, and he wished to know whether it would be prudent to advise them to go to Canada, or to transfer the labour to a more hospitable, though foreign region. _ _ • Earl GERY said that he had received a dispatch, stating that it was the intention of the Government of Canada to propose to lessen the tax on emigrants. It should be re collected that in Canada much greater assistance was afforded to immigrants than in the hospitable state to which allusion had been made, New York. In Canada they were forwarded to the remotest part of the colony at the public expense, whereas in New York no assist ance was afforded them, and it was necessary that the towns of Canada should adopt some measures to prevent the immigrants from becoming burdensome to them. and last year, notwithstanding the tax, the emigrants sent out (from this country were fully as numerous as the colony could absorb. The greater number who went out were unskilled labourers. The dispatches would .be presented to Parliament in a very few days, and that the House would be in possession of much valuable information on the subject. Lord MONTEAGLE was not surprised to hear that there had been difficulty in proxiding for the emigra tion of 1847. The great objection made by the Cana dians was not to the number of the emigrants, but to the disease, the fever,which the emigrants brought with them. The tax was so heavy that it had failed to increase the re venue of the colony. It was too high, and therefore it failed He could show that as emigration had been diverted by the increase in this tax from the British colonies, so had emigration to the United States increased. At the time the Passenger Act was passed in this country, we were not aware of the passing of this measure of taxation by the Canadian Legislature, and thus emigration to Canada suffered a double discouragement. He denied that the tax was applied to promote the comfort of emi grants. In New Brunswick it was applied solely to colonial purposes, and with regard to the transmission of the emigrants in Canada, it was so singularly de fective that the spread of fever in Canada was almost solely attributable to the method adopted for forwarding these emigrants. The United States fprovided for the transmission of emigrants. Earl GREY—No, no. Lord MONTEAGLE was at issue with his Noble Friend. The United States Legislature had enacted that railway companies should provide cheap trains for the transmission of emigrants,and surely that was an assistance. He wished to see a better system of emigration to Ca nada established, and the question would ere long force i p t o se r l t f s o fr n o t m h t e w a eh t i t e ention of their Lordship s . H e c on c luded by giving no ti ce t h at he should on Monday move for a return of h numberhthey embarked Earl who had left the United Kingd om d ur i ng the course of last year, and the Earl GREY thought the British colonies had been most unjustly censured, more esp ec i a ll y w h en h e re' membered the noble efforts which those colonies had made to mitigate the distress which prevailed in 1847. He thought it was impossible to find a country in which public affairs were more efficiently conducted than in that colony, and the statesmen of that country had record their opinion that as many immigrants had arrived in that colony as the colony could absorb. He repeated that immigrants and their baggage were forwarded for Quebec and Montreal gratuitously, while in New York the railroad arrangement, alluded to by the, Noble Lord, wa s merely of a similar charac ter to the enactment making it compulsory railway companies in this country to run trains a t a l t o i n m ie p s oli to tic ta t k o e endeavour s t f p a o e s n i t o e n r r y c t e l a i t a h m n e i l a ß e Bdritishlt would :A d % American Lord MONTEAGLE explained. lerdroi arose ea e uf m o Cr o o s Eo.:1 FITZWILLIA:\I their labour. that the Colonial Legislature should undertake such public works as would afford additional itwi b l e dd encouraged bcl'dvisaL t i to employment the ntto limmmpeirgiraalipts,rlia4uindehuet for d at p no u t r o p b o j s e e. ct to a 50 0 0 40 0 0 61. per cent.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 8. CALL OF THE HOUSE. Mr. GRATTAN did not know whether her Majesty's Ministers would object to the motion which he was about to make.—(Laughter.) He was convinced it would be a very salutary proceeding to call all the Members of the House to their places. If it were objected that the time was too short to allow of members attending to-morrow, then let the second reading of the Bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act be postponed. He understood the Bill was not yet printed, and had been told that it was not the practice to print bills till after the second reading. He would suggest that the practice should be altered. It was said that this was a mitigated measure to the one passed last year. How were Hon. Members to know that, unless they had an opportunity of com paring one Bill with the other? No less than 55 Irish Members were absent when the division took place on the Bill of last year. He therefore now begged to move that. the House be called over on Friday next (this day). Mr. J. O'CONNELL seconded the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it probable that those Irish Members who were absent in Ireland would obtain information sufficiently early to enable them to appear in their places tomorrow.—(A laugh.) He did not conceive that any cause existed for calling over the House. There was a sufficient attendance of Members for the consideration of the Bill, which stood for a se cond reading; and if any Members now absent had been anxious to attend, ample notice was given of the intention of bringing in the measure for them to have been in their places. Mr. J. O'CONNELL asked when the Bill would be printed. Lord J. RUSSELL—It will be in the hands of Members to-morrow. It is the same Bill as that of last year. The motion was then put, and negatived without a division. In answer to a question from Mr. P. SCROPE, Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Bill for the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act being a measure of great importance, ought to be proceeded with without delay; he therefore proposed making the second reading of that Bill the first order of the day for to.tnorrow. If the debate should end at an early period of the evening, he would then proceed with the adjourned debate on the vote for Irish distress; but he would not bring on that debate at a late hour. The report on the motion of supply was brought up. The House then adjourned.

B.—At Gloucester market on the 3d, wheat firmly maintained the currency of the T.revious week. At Worcester, the same day, an advance of Is. per quarter was realised. Barley held with more firmness, but without any improvement in the demand or price. For oats there was a fair sale at previous currency. Beans again cheaper, par ticularly Egyptian. We had scarcely an inquiry for peas. During the present week wheat has found buyers at some what above previous rates. Very little doing in any kind of barley. A few parcels of oats have changed hands, but their value has not varied. Egyptian beans are offering at a decline of Is per quarter, without leading to much business. French and English held for quite as much_money. Nothing worth notice in peas. At this day's market there was a large supply of wheat, which sold slowly at the currency of this day se 'n night. Barley dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer for all descriptions. Oats could only be sold in retail. The same remark applies to beaes at peas ; the value nominally unaltered.

WONDERFUL, IF TRUE.—We translate from the New Orleans Courier of the 3d of January the article that follows, giving an account of a subterranean canal that has been discovered, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. We believe little or nothing of the whole story ourselves, but publish it for the information of those who may believe, if any such there be, and for the amusement of those A ho do not. It has probably been got up as a hoax, Here it is :—"A French physician established at Vera Paz. who, besides practising medicine, has the charge of ex tensive farming estates, upon making some excavations, undertaken with the view of forming a canal through which to carry his pr, duce to the sea, discovered at the bottom of the Bay of Honduras, the open ieg of a monumental canal 75 metres wide (about 240 feet), and running in a straight line towards the south .west, its sides being constructed of enormous stones rudely cut. The two walls, which continued parallel, had been followed to the distance of several lea:Lues. hiving reached the loot of the mountain, here the volcano of Fuego is now in activity, and 10.,ving cut away huge tries that obstructed the en trance, they passed under a vault of 100 metres in he , ght (about 335 feet), and of the same width as the canal. Nothing among the ancient Cyclopean struc tures in Greece could give an adequate idea of the tre mendous masonry of the walls of this vault. Tile canal was filled with salt water 20 metres deep. Our intrepid countryman did not hesitate to embark with some In dians in a pirogue, which he c ause d t o b e b rought to t h e spot, and 18 hours afterwards (if his story is to be believed) he entered the great ocean (the Pacific) be tween Guatemala and San Salvador, through an immense natural grotto, called by the fisherman of that coast the Devil's Mouth, which superstition had deterred them from ever entering. The whole vaulted part of this superhuman structure was lighted by shafts, cut through to the sur face above, and through its whole extent it is navigable for the largest ships. M. Alexander Humboldt had al ready mentioned American edifices whose architecture indicated a very high antiquity, and revealed a peculiar civilization; but his learned descriptions give us no idea of the existence of such a monument. What great people, then, has inhabited these regions? Should this news be confirmed, then a maritime com munication is at once established between the two hemispheres, through the centre of the American conti nent, and Europe will have nothing to do but to cut through the Isthmus of Suez. Perhaps England will be equally fortunate in the discovery of a ' monumental canal' and a superhuman grotto' through the Isthmus of Suez which will connect the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf."— Washinyton Union.
