THE BILL FOR THE TRANSFER OF LICENSES AND REGULATION OF PUB LIC-HOUSES. As this Bill is of the highest importance to the licensed victuallers r.•ho are altogether unacquainted with its con tents, we have taken the earliest opportunity of laying it before them:— " Whereas it is expedient that greater facilities should be given in the transfer of licenses of inns, ale-houses, and victualling-houses, and likewise that some better regulations should be made for the management and conduct of the same, and for repressing disorders therein; he it therefore enacted, by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this pre sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act, any justice of the peace for any county, city, town, or borough . may at any time, upon application made to him for thafpur pese by note in writing, to be indorsed on the license already granted for keeping any inn, alehouse, or victualling house situated within. the district of the county, city town, or borough, for which such magistrates shall be acting, give authority to the person to whom any such license shall be intended to be transferred, or to the heirs, executors, or administrators, of any licensed vic tualler deceased, to ose, exercise, and carry on the busi ...ss of a licensed victualler at the house and premises for which such license shall have been .granted until the than ensuing session for the county, city, town, and bo rough, w ithin which or within the district whereof the *.lid house and premises shall be situated, which shall be a,)pointed to be held for the transferring of licenses, at which sessions the application for tho allowance and con firmation of the transfer of such license shall be made to the licensing magistrates in the usual manner ; and no complaint or inforthation shall be made or laid against, or oy penalty be inflicted upon, any persons to whom such transfer snail be intended to be ma d e as a f oresa id, and who shall have obtained the indorsement of any such license by any such justice, in the first instance, for eel l:ng or having sold, without a license, any wine, beer, or other excisable Liquor by retail, to be drank or consumed in or out of such inn, alehouse, or victualling house, al though it shall afterwards appear fit to the licensing ma gistrates at such sessions to refuse to allow and confirm tie transfer of such license ; provided, nevertheless, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt any such person to whom a license shall be intended to be transferred as aforesaid from any penalties now in ca:stence for misbehaviour in the said house, or permit ting any disorderly conduct therein, or any other offence against the tenet- of the license granted for such house, foe which purposes the person to whom such licence shall 1 e intended to be transferreaas aforesaid shall be deemed and taken to he the owner and proprietor, and inswera hle accordiagly. _ " And be it enacted, That in all cases where any afr fray-, noise, tumult. or abuse, riot o us or disorderly con 7 4:uct shall be made or created, or begun to be made or :.'sated, by any person or persons whomsoever, in the ; else of any licensed victualler, or in case such - licensed .etualler be minded and desirous of clearing his house t all persons, visitors or guest.; therein, on account of ',e lateness of the hour, or for any other reasonable c. use, and the persons in any such house persist in ra aaining beyond the time they ought to stay therein, or case any person or persons, upon reasonable request 1 v thelandlord, his wife, servants or assistants, peace : ly to quit his house,` shall refuse so to do, or become fractory, or commit an assault • upon the landlord, 1 ;:.; wife, servants, assistants, or any member of his 1 •ittsehohi, it shall and may be lawful for any such - .ectesecl victualler, his wife, servants or assistants, to s ;quire and call to his, her, or their aid and assistance, 44_1* or more police constables, who, upon such request ,E•ig made to him o: them, shall, and they are hereby a. tetorised to enter the house and premeses of such :( (lensed victualler, f r the purpose of clearing theoaree, tr.l causing the departure of all such disorderly person - persons, and the suppressing of aliroise, riots, and • a turbances, and taking every such person or persons int custody who may refuse peaceably to depart from 4 of such house, or who persist in contir aing such a se, riot, or disturbance, or disorderly conduct therein, ✓ IC such disorderly persons to take and convey to the ✓ e rest station-house, for safe custody until such time as • , she, or they can he taken before a magistrate, who is h rehy authorised to hear the complaint, and deal with person or persons according to law.

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—At the seal 'nal meeting of the members of this useful Institution held las week at the Albion Tavern (Mr. Nesbit in the chair), the Re sort of the Committee of management was read and their bat nee-sheet exhibited; both of which were received with ra n .h satisfaction. During the past year it was shown that the fund:: of the Institution had become partially available for spat itable purposes, and several cases were narrated to the Int , 'ing cf assistance which had been rendered, by chosen o ff ,s vs, in instances of great need and urgency. The income o f ale Association is in a highly prosperous condition, and pro snis es to swell eventually into an estate of such magnitude as . „ to , eny nothing in the way of relief, either casual or perma net . which it may be the unfortunate lot of any one of its , . saes abers to require. The available annual proceeds, derived a' ire. : interest, realizations, donations, and periodical subscrip• ''' tier s, are now nearly 7001.—a sum capable of conferring ex terns ive benefits. if discreetly and cautiously applied. It may res. cnably be expected that in a year or two, when the bene vol nt machinery of this establishment gets into full play, and is Itabled not only to alleviate th e occas i ona l d omest i c dis ".:,.. tree sea arising from illness, want of employment, and other tint resee n eentingencies, but to grant annuities to the aged. ant helPies , , few HSSiSting members of the boukselling trade wit withheld fro m it their countenance and support. .. mothe r of Sir Robert Peel's secrets is out.

CALAMITOUS EXPLOSION OF A STEAM BOILER—SLXTEEN LIVES LOST. (From the Glasgow Courier, of Tuesday.) The readers of our paper are aware that a tine fast sailing steamer, named the Telegraph, was lately built for the river trade for the purpOse of competing with the railway. She has been plying for some time back, and being on the high pressure principle, has bete the swiftest steamers in the passage to Oreenoek. Yester day, about half-past twelve o'clock, the people on the steam boat quay, Greenock, heard a report as if a battery 01 cannon had been discharged at Helensburgh (a distance of four miles). A smoke was seen to arise, and tele scopes being procured, the explosion of the Telegraph was immediately discovered. Two of the tug steamers lying at Greenock quay, got the steam up, and sailed fur Helensburgh, to render whatever assistance they could. On arriving at Helensburgh they found that the Telegraph's boiler had exploded, and that the hull of the vessel was a total wreck, and literally floating away in pieces. At ,the time our informant left it had been ascertained that thirteen had been killed outright, but as strangers were on board, it was impos sible to arrive at a true statement of the casualties. A number 'of individuals were seriously wounded, some of whom are not expected to recover, and among the latter we are sorry to say is Captain Eying, late of the Kilmun steamer, who Was just alive when our despatches were sent oti. It appears that the passengers for Helensburgh had all landed, and that the boat was about to proceed on her passage up the Gairloch when the explosion took place. Something connected with the management of the valves is supposed to have caused the accident. We have heard.that four of the dead belong to Glasgow, and formed part of a company of eight painters, who had gone down to paint the ,Precursor steamer, at present lying in the Gairloch. Mr. Hedderwick, of the late firm of Hedderwick and Ranken, shipbuilders, is dead. Since the above was put in type, an acquaintance has furnished us with a few additional particulars in rela tion to this most appalling catastrophe. It is im possible adequately to describe the scene at the moment the explosion occurred. The vessel itself burst like a bomb she;], and momentarily became a total wreck—so much so, that not a single part of the vessel remained to gether afloat. In every direction could be Observed, scat tered about, the mutilated limbs of the unfortunate. pas sengers, and the water was literally tinged with teeir blood. The boiler in the explosion was bhiwn com pletely ashore, to us to convey to the spectator the idea of the disappearance of the steamer altogether. When our informant left, he saw fifteen bodies in the Tontine Hotel, Ifelensburgh ' which he recognised. Two of the painters' bodies had not been recovered. At half past four, the steamer Royal Tar sailed from Helensburgh with a number of the wounded on board. Of these !ex were landed at Greenock, where the Provost had a num ber of biers ready to remove the sufferers that arrived to the infirmary. Two of the painters mentioned awe, who were not so severely wounded as the rest, proceeded to Glasgow in the steamer, as well as a lady and gentle man, who were slightly wounded while standing upon Helensburgh Quay, witnessing the departure of the Tele graph. (From the Second Edition of the " Glasgow Chronicle.") This, we regret to say, has been one of the most fright ful catastrophes we have ever been called upon to record. The vessel itself, we learn, is literally shivered into spars, and the force of the explosion was so tremendous that the engine was blown to a distance of twenty yards. The dead bodies ' present a shocking spectacle, one of them being completely decapitated, and others so dread fully bruised and turned, that they hardly present one vestige of humanity. The list of the killed and wounded, so fur as can yet be ascertained, is as follows : Killed—Captain Ewing, of the Telegraph ; W. Ban natyne, engineer of ditto ; Mr. Hedderwick, of the firm of Hedderwick and Rankine ; Mrs. How, of Greenock ; Miss Keith, sister to Mrs. Dow ; John M'Diarmid, pilot ; M'Auslan, one of the crew ; Robert Cadenhead, carpen ter, Govan ' - Peter M`Linteck and Thomas M'Queen, painters—bodies not found; Daniel Sinclair, fireman ; a pilot, name unknown ; two men, supposed to be tailors —names not known ; James Johnston, late of the Wa terloo House, Greenock e another man, name not known. WOUNDED.—Mis. Keith, Greenock, much hurt, but able to walk, mother of the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil, bruised ; 'Richard Anderson, foreman to Hedderwick and Rankine, - dangerously wounded ; James Stenhouse, carpenter, severely wounded ; Miss M'Kellor, Greenock, hurt, but not dangerously ; Charles `Quarrey, painter, badly wounded ; George Leek, do., leg broke in two places, and otherwise hurt ; Dugald Cameron, deck hand, slightly wounded ; Duncan Kennedy, do. •, Lauchlan Cameron, severely wounded. This list, although not altogether complete, contains nearly the whole of the casualties. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.---The announced intention of Opposition to oppose the income tax at every stage is abused, as an unheard-of piece of factious obstruction, by every goose quill and ass jaw in the service of Ministers. The propriety or impropriety of the most determined opposition to this impost must depend (in public opinion) on the view taken of its real nature. We do not hesitate to say that we regard it as a measure of confiscation of the property of some classes, for the supposed ease and advantage of others. Now if the measure is of this nature, it is one against which the classes aggrieved by it have the clearest right to be heard by petition, or counsel at the bar of the House, before that House commits itself to a single step in'the course of iniquity. "Obstruction" to the recognition . by Par :liament of a wrong principle, till those who will be wronged by acting on that principle can make themselves heard, is simply obstruction to taking classes by surprise in order to pick their pockets. And what are those classes ? Precisely those which landed legislation already impoverishes. Precisely those which the long-predicted effects of monopoly, aided by the seasons, already disable from aiding so effectively as they have hitherto done to keep up our commercial and consumptive powers under our burdens. The revenue fails, because the fiscal system is already disadvantageous to commerce ; and the remedy proposed is not to remove the principal disadvantages, but to leave them (with one exception, timber) almost as heavy as ever—to make a splutter with minutim, which will have no effect worth calculating, but that of throwing many of our labourers out of work—and to add to every existing disath antage the monster grievance of an nnequal and inquisitorial impost on commercial capital, struggling for existence. If this is not a measure to be " obstructed" from its first stage to its last—if this is not a measure against which time should be gained for those classes by whom its immediate injury will be felt, to petition for justice— then we admit that the course of Opposition deserves all the names bestowed on it. But what name shall we give to the conduct of Government in pushing such a measure without the slightest attempt to amend, or defend, its obnoxious features ? We are told that Opposition should wait for its details, before denouncing it. We say that the Minister should have stated details (if he had such to state), capable of reconciling the public mind to a tax known and abhorred. STANDARD.—Parliament has been sitting about seven weeks—or about one-fourth of an average session —and what has been done? The period is, perhaps, one which allows of an easy and slow progress of affairs. We are involved in a war with more than three hundred millions of peo le—an insignificant war with only three hundred millions We are involved in a war in central . Asia, in which an army has been cut off in the defence of the gate of our vast Indian empire— that gate by [which every conqueror since Alexan ders's time has advanced to his conquest. Another insignificant war, in the authoritave opinion of Mr. Benjamin Hawes. The state of our relations with the continent of Europe and with the North Ame rican republic is, to say the least of it, anxious ; and at home the people are suffering so severely; that seven months ago it was made a subject of bitter complaint, that a single hour should be lost in taking measures for their relief ; add to this, we -hare a deficient revenue, with a deficit constantly augmenting. , Such was our condition at the meeting of Parlia-,. ment, and such . is our condition at the end of seven weeks of the Parliamentary Session. Ought Parliament to have thus slumbered in such circum stances ? Is there in our history, or in the history of the world, and example of like folly and crime on the: part of the legislature of a great and free people ? Here are we, then, at the end of seven weeks. in a crisis of unexampled delicacy, with absolutely nothing dci ie for the public service. Well, but our I,r6speets are better—•something will at length be - done. The Haweses and the Wards, the Brottertons and the Cobdens have had their sp-:;eches, the mass of obstructive rubbish has been cleared away, and the busi ness of the country is now about to be commenced in good earnest. No —new, at the end of seven weeks, we have, instead of a, promise or a hope that the public service shall at length be prosecuted, au impudent avowal of an organised factious opposition prepared to impede that service. The system of obstruction, factiously and successfully prosecuted hitherto, is now openly de clared. Nothing has been done, and it is . now threat ened nothing shall be done, that factious opposition can prevent or retard ! How long will the • country endure this wanton and wicked outrage upon its best interests, this calumny upon representative government, which is almost enough .to make thinking men fly from a form of Government that may be so odiously and so mischiev ously abused, even to despotism itself? • What is the Vie d a Parliathent if it is only to exhibit itself thus as the instrument. of obitruction to whatever is required for We general safety and the general happiness? ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) (Continued from nor Afternoon Edition.) GREAT MARLOW. John Smith, one of the overseers of the parish, having pro duced a printed copy of the list of objections, Mr. Cockburn objected to its production, on the ground that the original list should be produced, or that it should be proved to have been destroyed. After a loag argument among Counsel, it was decided that the duplicate copy was sufficient. John Smith was then recalled, and stated that the vote under discussion before the Committee, had been objected to before the Revising Barrister, but that he had decided that he could not entertain the objection in =sequence of an informality in serving it. Mr. CocK BURN contended that the Committee alto could not enter into the objection, for the same reason ; and the ar guments upon this point were not concluded at the rising of the Committee. WEYMOUTH. It am eart Imwc% er, ra n a more critic:4 lhat the name of the son was expunged', whilethat of the father, Sir John Meade, was retained. THE SUN, LONDON, ,WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1842. J. Rose, a post-office clerk, said be had served notice of ob j,, Hoe to both gentlemen, who lived in the same house, He eould not say which of Ihent had a right to vote, so he objected :0 both, in order to have the matter set right before the Revis ing Barrister, as witness was very anxious that every man should enjoy his franchise if be bad a right to it.—( Laughter. ) He did not know that Sir John Meade was out of his mind. It was proved that John Spencer Meade did vote in the name of John Meade. The omission of the name Spencer was re marked at the time, but no note of it was taken by the eh eck. book-keeper on the Liberal side, Mr. Tasker, the person who pointed out the matter. Mr. Tasker added, that he was paid nothing for his services. Mr. TA LBIET—Then you are an ill-used man, and I advise you to come over to the ntber side.—(Laughter. ) Mr. TALBOT contended that Mr. Meade was the oecupier of the house, the father being the owner, and that in fact Sir John Meade was not on the list, but John Meade, for in fact the former had been for four years before in a lunatic asylum. The Committee struck off the vote, considering it a case of personation. William Fowler, a sitting Member's vote, was objected to, on the ground that while the real owner of the qualification was dead and buried, a namesake carre to the poll and per sonated him. Tho Committee adjourned, leaving the case to come on to morrow. WIGAN. (Continued from our Afternoon Edi:ion.) The Committee resolved that the vote should be struck off.; John Hayes objected to by Mr. littnyann on behalf of the sitting Members was struck off the pole on similar grounds. Richard Peck was chjected by counsel for the petitions, and struck off. 31r. HILDYARD laving stated that that decision of the Com mittee plactd the sitting Alembers in a majority, it was agreed that tLe petitioner's counsel should again proceed with their objections. The vcte of Matthew Lowe was accordingly objected to by . 'r. SLADE, on the same greunc's upon which the foregoing , otes were disposed of.—Struck cff. The vote of Peter Horning, übjected to by the petitioner's Counsel, was struck cif. James Workman's vote was objected to by Mr. TALBOT, on behalf of the sitting member, on the ground of removal. The objection was fully sustained and the vote was stuck to the pill. The vote of Ralph Unswortb, keeper of a pul lie-house called the Clockface, in Wigan, was objected to by Mr. Clarke, on behalf of the sitting Members. The vote was struck off the pa. This decision }lace the sitting members in a majority done. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at 11 o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The Lora CHANCELLOR took his seat ca the Wool sack .portly after Four o'clock. CORN-LAWS AND SUFFRAGE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from 1,300 inhabitants of Swansea, praying for aTepeal of the Corn laws and Universal Suffrage. CUURT OP CHANCERY. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then moved for cer tain returns relating to the arrears in the Court of Chancery, and said that he supposed that in consequence of the recent alterations in the Court of Chancery, the amount of the arrears must have materially decreased since the last return. The LORI) CHANCELLOR said that the Vice- Chancellors were now hearing causes which had been set down for hearing since Christmas last He believed many of them had been only set down for hearing within the last six weeks. Unless some arrangement Were made one of the Vice-Chancellors would not have any cause to hear in a couple of days. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Consolidated Fund Bill, the West India Clergy Bill, the Regulation of Apprentices' Bill, the Loan Societies' Bill, the Newgate Gaol (Dublin) Bill, and Nutford's Divorce Bill.

On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the South Eastern Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. _ _ MIDLANT) COUNTIES' RAILWAY BILL. The Midl tnd Counties'.Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. Several private Bills were forwarded a stage. EASTER RECESS. On the motion of Lord WHAIINCLIFFE, their Lordships then adjourned to Thursday, the 7th of April next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock. CHESTER ROADS. On the motion of Mr. W. YOUNG the Chester Roads' Bill was brought in and rad a first time. NORFOLK ROADS. On the motion of Mr. LOCKHART, the Norfolk Roads' Bill was brought in and read a first time.

Mr. HUTT presented a petition in favour of the Stan hope and Tyne Railway Bill ; also a petition from the same parties in favour of the Durham Junction Railway Bill. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY BILL. Mr.. BARNARI) brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the petition for the London and Greenwich Railway Bill ; and the Bill was brought in and read a first time. journeymen cork-cutters of Edinburgh and Leith, Mat t ing that, by the proposed reduction of duty on foreign I corks, they would be completely. ruined ; and, as no person had complained of the old duty, they entreated that that part of the new tariff might notbe adopted. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from Stephen Gill, aschitect, residing in the New-road, complaining of the defective state of the -prestrit regulations with respect to buildings, and requesting to be examined in Committee on. the subject. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from Alexander Brady, of the parish of Clerkenwell, complaining of the practice of making long spew:hes on almost every motion submitted to the House. The petitioner said that those speeches had never conferred any benefit upon him, and he questioned if they had conferred any benefit upon the public. He thought it very desirable that some rule should be adopt ed for remedying the evil, and would suggest that no member should be allowed to speak on any subject for a longer period than twenty minutes. —(Loud laughter.) The Hon. Member also presented a petition from twenty one journeyman smiths in the parish of St. George's Bloomsbury, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the duties on the importation of foreign corn ; and also a-petition from James Gill, of Edinburgh, complaining of,r the practice in the Court of Sessions of Scotland, of gi ing decrees to prisoners in the absence of the defenders. Mr. 0 13R1EN presented a petition from the county of Down, praying that her Majesty's Government would direct their attention to the reclaiming of waste lands. Lord SANIJON presented a petition from the Mem bers of a Literary and Scientific Society in Liverpool, calling the attention of the House to the burden under whic:a literary and scientific institutions laboured in being subject to the window-tax, if they had a person within the walls for the purpose of taking charge of their pro perty ; they,' therefore, prayed that the House would take measures for the exemption of such institutions from local and assessed taxes. The second readings of the Lunatic Asylums' Bill, and this Bonded Corn Bill, which were fixed far to-morrow, were postponed till after the recess. ERRORS IN THE TARIFF. Mr. HAIVPS seing th e Ri g h t H on. t h e Vice-Pre sident of the Board of Trade in his place, begged to call his attention to the subject of a conversation which took place the other evening across the table, 'relating to the typographical errors which had found their way into the printed copies of the amended tariff. Those errors.had occasioned great uncertainty, -and no - small anxiety, in different branches of trade, as it was impossible to know: in what respects the intended duties were correctly stated, and in what instances they were printed erroneously. He begged to ask, when did the Right Hon. Gentleman expect to let: the public have - a correct copy ? He thought the countrj was entitled to have the correct information as early as possible.— [Hear, hear.) Mr. GLA - DSTONE would venture to Say that no unnecessary delay should take place.—(Hear.) he was exceedingly anxious that no time should . be lost in correcting the errors of the tariff, both those that were merely typographical, and those which had been committed by the framers of the tariff themselves; and he was confident that the corrections would be made during the recess. It was certainly impossible to make the amendments without great consideration ; but he fully expected that the approaching Easter recess would be sufficient to enable him to have a correct copy of the tariff in the hands of Members. TIMBER DUTIES. Mr. PATRICK M. STEWART wished to put a. ques tion to the Right Honourable Baronet the 1 irst Lord of the Treasury respecting the proposed duties on Colonial and other Timber, and he considered the sub ject of his question one of great importance, not only to those engaged in the timber trade, but to the public at large. The Right Hon. Baronet was probably aware that there never was so large a stock of duty-paid timber in London as at this moment.--(Hear, hear.) and in the Clyde, with which he was more immediately connected, there was a very large stock on which the duty had been paid. He had had an interview with some of the holders of that stock this day, and they informed him that they were induced to take that large quantity on hand, because they thought they were sure of the differential duty remained unaltered ; and it was not the custom to bond Canadian timber. The question which he wished to ask was , whether it was the intention of the Ri g ht Hon. Baronet to relieve those parties, either by a remission or drawback of the duty, only giving them time to get rid of that stock before the alteration of the duty Caine into effect. Sir R. PEEL had received communications to the same erect, as to the peculiarity large amount of timber, which had paid duty, and was at present on hand. The Honourable Gentleman mentioned one cruse of that accumulation. But probably there was another. The intention last year announced by the Noble Lord opposite (Lord John Russell) to impose a duty of 245. per load upon Canadian timber, led those persons to speculate in taking in a large stock, with the hope of escaping the duty. If the duty had been raised in the mean time, as they expected, the increase would not be levied upon that timber.— (Hear, and a laugh.) The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Stuurt) asked whether it was his (Slr R. Peel's) intention to' allow a brawback in the duty,paid ? His answer was—Most certainly not.—(Hear, hear.) There had been before this a system of drawback in the Customs which ope rated as a warning against extending it to any new arrangement of Customs' Duties.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) had pretty good reason to know what were the difficulties which attended commercial reforms. He had .received communications from s eveJal timber merchants, to the effect that trade was so much depressed that there was no demand for timber, and reductions of price had taken place to the amount of 4d. or 3d. per load. That even with that sacrifice it was impossible to sell Ca nadian timber. Now his answer to that was, that they should look for a remedy in the general improvement of trade which the reducti.onpf duties would effect. He had no intention of allowing a drawback, but he would gyre a greater interval before the operation of the new duties than he had at first contemplated. Although the va rious articles of the tarif did severally occupy the atten tion of ail the confidential advisers of the Government connected with the Customs, yet it was impossible, in such, large reforms that the arrangements could be completed at once, and exactly adjusted in respect co all. As to Baltic timber, all the communications which lie had received showed the importance of the intended reform.—(Hear, hear.) But he was perfectly convinced that colonial timber could hold its ground in the market under the new duties.—(Hear, hear.) He repeated that he would not allow a drawback, tthe interest o f t h e consumer . Be would would give as long an i n t erva l as wou ld b e but consistentth at h l e vi do his best to repair cases of individual wrong, but he looked to the general improvement of trade as the surest means of remedying the inconvenience complained of by those merchants. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the reading of the Order of the Day for the Com mittee on the Corn Duties Bill. Sir R. PEEL said that as he mild not expect to make any progress in the Bill before the recess, so as to send it to the Lords, he should now (as he stated his intention last night to do) move the postponement of the order to Monday the 4th of April. respect to the timb er d u ti es , ex :n-;e3lssredri. hAisWsEaStQvaciton with the announcement of the Right Hon. Gentleman's intention to allow a long inter val before. the operation of the new duties. But he wished to call the Right Hon. Gentleman's attention to the pre sent mode of taking the duty, which, h 1 the opinion of the trade, ought to be by bale and not by measurement. Sir Ri PEEL said he had to strike a balance between any expectation of a long t„ cerva i , which would have the ; but he could no t h o ld ou t the consumer and the trad e effect It, temporary mono p o l y upon t h ose who ha odfg conferring on hand, a s well as causing a suspen sion of trade, As t o t h e mode of taking the duty, there a c r on es r t i n .i 7 was no difficulty in taking it by cubic 'measurement on timber in the log. But he thought that in the case of deals there was the grossest injustice occasionedby thae mbiieo.ftneasurement, which had also the effect of exclu ding the timber of some nations entirely from our market He had had some communications with gentlemen on the subject of presenting impediments to the revenue, and affecting its collection on all classes of timber, and the question was under his attentive consideration. HAND-LOOM WEAVERS. Mr. WOODHOUSE gave notice that after Easter he would draw the attention of the House to the Report 01 the Commissioners in 1841 on the condition of the hand loom IveavQrs; also that he would move for certain re turns respecting poor-rates, county-rates, and other im posts. THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.. Dr. BOWRING said that although he had for the present withdrawn the notice he had given respect ing this prelate, he (Dr. Bowring) was sorry to learn that some of the events he had apprehended had already occurred, in consequence of the precipitate sending of Dr. Alexander to Jerusalem. A report had reached him (Dr. Bowring) that the Bishop had been treated with much ill-usage. He (Dr. Bowring) wished t o ask the Ri g ht H on ourable Baronet whether such a report had reached the Government ; and if so, whether the Government had taken any measures to protect the person of the Bishop, or for his removal from a scene where it would be very difficult for him to guard against the hostilities of the various Christian sects, and of the Jews? Sir R. PEEL was aware that in some parts of Syria efforts had been made to stir up hostilities against the mission, but DO account whatever had reached the Government, .that the Bishop had been ill treated. There .might n o d ou bt be a hostile feeling against the Bishop, ,but he (Sir R. Peel) had received no a ccoun t t o the etlect that his personal security bad been end angere d. LEGACY AID PROBATE DUTIES. Mr. ELPHINSTONE gave notice that he would after Easter, miff° that the Legacy and Probate Duty upon real property should be of - the same amount hereafter as that to which personal property is now liable. TEMPERANCE IN IRELAND.' Mr. CALEB PO WELL begged leave to ask the Right Honourable Baronet, the First Lcrd of the Treasury, whether he was in possession of any official information from which he might infer that habits of temperance were or were not progressively extending among the people of Ireland ?—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL said, that he was not in possession of any ffieial information upon the sub;ect, t;nd he begged leave to add, that he had not, on any former occasion, expressed an opinion on the matter. Ile bad said that there had been of late a considerable increase in the spirit duty in Ire land, but he dared - say that the spirits were taken with a due regard to temperance.—(Leughtt r.) . CHU R C I 1 EXTENSION. Mr. HAWES beLged leave to ask the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford, whether he' intended to bring forward at an early day his motion on the subject of Church Extension? • Sir E. H.INGLIS said that Le had stated, on a former occasion, t h at it war.his i n criti(.!t to call the attention of the:House to thu I ":tster, ; but lie could nut say wht.thiT 10 would ou Liiabioi to (iv at an onl y period. He would, however, fix a day as goon as he might find,convenient, and he would give the Hon. Member and the House due notice on the subject. On the Order of the Dayfor the second reading of the Public-House Bill being moved, Lord MAHON saiclhe would not object to the Order being fixed for another day, provided he had sufficient notice ; but he could nut consent to the reading on that occasion. The Order of the Day was then postponed. Iu reply to a question from Mr. FOX MAULE with respect to the Turnpike Act, Sir J. GRAHAM said he had given notice a few days ago of the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a general Turnpike act ; and the question of course countervailed the operation of any present Acts in relation to turnpike roads. Mr. WAKLEY said, probably there would be no ob jection to the Public-houses Bill being read a second time on that occasion. as it did not appear to be opposed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said as that measure inter fered with the authority of the Police Commissioners, it had been submitted to their inspection, and the Report of the Commissioners had not yet been received. Mr. WAKLEY thought that it would be a great ad vantage if that measure could be advanced one stage. CROYDON RAILWAY. The HoN.

Members,the House then f The SPEAKER shortly afterwards returned and in formed the House that the Royal assent had been given by Commission to several Bills.— (For which see Lords' Report.) Mr. II AR' presented petitions from Myddleton, and other places in the County Cork, against the National Education systmn in Ireland. Mr. T. 1) NCOMBE presented a petition from an . individual in the metropolis against the proposal 9f imposin . direct taxation of parties who were not repre sented: in that House, inasmuch as they did not possess the electoral francise.

PEEL in moving that the order of the day be read, asked his Noble Friend (Lord Mahon) to postpone the committal of the Copyright Bill in order to give him (Sir R, Peel) an oppot tunity of bringin forward his re strictions relative to the Income tax in the Committee of Ways and Means. Lord MAHON felt great reluctance at postponing his measure, because he was aware that on former occasions the postponement " of it would lead to its defeat. Nevertheless considering the importance of the measure of his Right I !on. Friend, he would_ not. bring on any discussion. He hoped, however, he might be permitted to have the Bill committed, pro furmu. to enable him to move that it be recommitted, when he intended to introduce several amendments and have the Bill 'reprinted ; and if the House would consent to that • plan, he would fix an early day after Easter for the discussion. Lord JOHN RUSSESL was favourable to the gene ral objects of the Bill, and suggested to the Noble Lord the propriety of entering into communication with those interested on the subject, so as to obviate many of the objections which had heretofore been made to measures of a similar nature. . Lord MAHON had already entered into several com munications with interested parties, and he trusted that the present measure was more free from objection than any that had hitherto been brought forward on the subject. PUBLIC ACCOUNTS. Mr. WILLIAMS asked vihy the revenue accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster for the past year which had been laid on the table of the House, had not yet been printed, and why the revenue accounts of the Duchy of Cornwall had not yet been laid on the table. . _ Sir G. CLERK said, the Duchy of Lancaster accounts had been referred to the Printing Committee, ho had not yet roported on them, and the delay in the presenta tion of the Duchy of Cornwall accounts had been occasioned by the alterations rendered necessary in them, in consequence of the birth of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. He hoped, however, to be able to lay those acconnts ou the table the first day after the Easter recess. Mr. WILLIAMS said that there had been no account printed of balances and arrears in the hands of Govern ment officers since the year 1830. He wished to know if the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed presenting any such return for the present year. Sir G. CLERK said, that the return of the names of officers having arrears and balances in their hands on any particular clay would consist principally of the names of the deputy postmasters. These accounts had not been printed, because they had been considered as useless. If the Eon. Member chose to move for them fur the present year, he would not object. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that as those accounts had not been printed for the last ten years, it was desirable that the account fcr the last year should be printed. COPYRIGHT BILL. The Copyright Bill was then committed pro forma, and ordered to be recommitted on the 16th April. EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. Mr. C. BULLER wished to ask the Right Ho nourable Baronet what course he intended to pursue with regard to the Exchequer Bills Lill ? He believed there was no difficulty about the Bill ; the discussion would be very short, and it was not fair to the holders of Exchequer Bills to delay, from day to day, the appointme of the Committee to inquire into their claims. Sir R. PEEL said that he understood that the late Solicitor-General had intended to introduce some amendments into the Bill regarding certain legal questions that might be likely to arise. No unnecessary ; delay had occurred in passing the mea sure ; the House had sat night after night until nearly two o'clock in the morning—(Hear, hear)— and there had been no opportunity of discussing those amendments to which the last Solicitor-General attached great importance. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said his Honourable and Learned Friend the Member for Worcester wished to introduce certain amendments. The discussion had been but short, and he thought the best way would to to fix an early hour on some day for the discussion. He wished to ask another question with respect to the Act that had so often been referred to, the Act of 1806. As the Right Hon. Baronet had relied on that Act for the chief machinery for raising the income tax, and as that Act had been repealed, it wouid be very desirable that the House should be enabled to see what the general machinery of that Bill was. He therefore wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if be hadituy objection to print ing that Act in a separate form, for the use of Members of that House ? Sir R. PEEL said he should not have the slightest objection to move that the Act referred to should be printed. EXCHEQUER BILLS. Sir R. INGLIS asked when the Exchequer Bills Bill would be proceeded with ? Sir ROBERT PEEL said, with respect to the Ex chequer Bill inquiry, it er as a peculiar case. With respect to the Exchequei Bills' Bill, could aot do better than propose that the Bill should come on at five o'clock on Monday fol fnight, in the hope that he should then be able to proceed with other questions. INCOME TAX. Mr. BLEWETT then rose, and said he had at last got an opportunity of asking the attention of the House ; he still thought as he did on Monday last, that the proposed Income Tax was being pressed on with indecent haste, and that the Right Hon. Baronet was only relying on his majority in that House to carry a tax upon which the people had no opportunity of expressing their opinion. He really thought the Right Hon. Baronet was proceeding cgainst the principles and constitution of the House. He un derstocd that the object of a Committee of Ways and Means was to raise money for the purpose of supply ; but the object of the income tax was to raise money for taxes which the Right Hon, Baronet was going to take off. Being of the opinion that the measure was pressed for ward with indecent haste, he would move that the Order of the Day on Public Works be read.—(oh, oh.) The SPEAKER said the Orders of the Day should he taken in regular succession. The question was, that he should leave the Chair, and it would not be in accord an-;e with usage to take another Order of the Day into consideration. Mr. BLEW ITT then would beg to move that the tariff be et nsitlered before they proceeded with the in come Wt.—Laughter.) The SPEAKER said that would not be a regular course. Mr. BLEWITT.—May he beg to know why it was not usual.—(Continued Laughter.) The SPEAKER explained. The question that the Speaker do leave the Chair was then put, and agreed to amid considerable laughter. The House then went into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. GREENE in the Chair. INCOME TAX, The Resolutions of the Vointnittee hftVing been read, Lord IL GROSVENOR said he felt how ill-qualified he was to engage the attention of the House on the all important question which now en. aged its attention. He would not have ventured to intrude on the House at all, did he not feel that he entertained opinions on the sub ject different from those of all the speakers who preceded him, and it was on that occount that he solicited the in dulgence of the House while he endeavoured briefly to state the course he meant to pursue. The case of the Right Hon. Baronet was, he believed, that in consequence of the deficiency in the revenue, as compared wit! , the expenditure, and the absolute necessity that existed of devising some means to raise the revenue to the amount required for exigenties of the State. That on account of the disturbed. condition of our Indian posses sions, and also of o ur re la t i ons w i t h Chi na, and besides by reason of the alteration which her Majesty's Government contemplated making in the commerciol tariff ; and, ttihmoVer: iti conse quence of its not appearing practicable to rais. any considerable amount of revenue from lowering the taxes on articles of consumption—that for all those reasons, recourse must be heti tii direct taxa tion, and of all. other hliicics of taxation none seemed so likely to operate successfully as an income tax, which it was proposed to impose at the rate of 7d. in the pound. He was aware, that in addition to this tax, it was intended to lay on an additional duty on stamps and 'spirits hi Ireland • also the export o f coa l to the amount of4s. per t on . W it h respect to the income tax, it had been urged by Hon. Gentlemen on that (the Opposition) side of the House, that it was an unjust tax, an odious and inquisitorial one, and intolerable in whatever shape it might been imposed. It had been also said that the Right Honourable Baronet had greatly exaggerated the necessities of the case. In proof of this it was al leged that there was a long list of taxes producing many millions annually, which might be modified so as give the required accounts to make up the Jeficit. Although he (Lotd Grosvenor) was aware that the Right Hon. Baronet was at issue on most of those with Gentlemen on that side of the House, yet there was one point on which the Right Hon. Gentleman concurred with his opponent, and that was, that nothing but the greatest necessity cou ld call for the imposition of such t: tax as the income tax. (LEFT SPEAKING.) The Municipal Council of Calais have voted a sil ver cup, werth 300 f., to Mr. J. Slater, mate of the Widgeon packet, for his conduct in saving . the crew of the Minerva on the night of the lOth. The Humane Society of the saute town have also decided on applying to the General Shipwreck So ciety for a gold medal for Mr. Slater, and silver ones for the English sailors who assisted him on that occasion ; also geld medals for the pilots, and silver ones for the French sailers whc attempted, though in vain to save their countrymen. The o§tolid papers state that it has keen founi gcitc inipssae t.o.get the City ,a Edinburgh afloat; that thk ea -, i:l,J and Barn othei parts- talt , n 'Out of the lan:, and that the vessel will then be sold by auction and broken up. AMERICAN NEWS EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, WEDESDAY MORNING. By the Oxford, Captain Rathbone, we have New York papers three days later than previously received by the Garrick. Tha Oxford has made the passage in eighteen days and brings eight pas sengers. In consequence of the non• arrival of the Caledonia steam-ship at Halifax, the steamer Unicorn had been despatched to Boston to bring on the mails and passengers from the United States. She arrived at Boston on the 27th, and would leave for Halifax on the Ist instant, and on her arrival at Halifax site was to proceed to Liverpool, in case the steamer from Engtand had not arrived. ThcAcadia, however, would reach Halifax about the 4th, and would no doubt return to Liverpool with the mails. NEW ORLEANS, FEB 21—TERRIFIC STRAMBOAT EXPLO SION AND Loss or LIFE.—The steam towboat Mohican, Captain Heaton, to Saturday evening last, the 19th Feb. instant, whilst engaged with the towboat Star, in towing tho British ship Edward Thorn, (inward bound), across the Bar; burst all her boilers, by which we regret to add, that from twelve to fourteen lives were lost, amongst whom are the twe engiheers, two firemen, and three neck hands. Lieutenant linkup, one of the revenue officers at the Belize, was blown from the boat on board of the. Star, and was killed on the spot. The mate of the Ed. Thorn W4S killed by tne explosion, and the Captain is dangerously wooded. '1 he latter, and Captain li,aten, who is Itkevriso badly hurt, were brought to the city yesterday, on board of the Star, and medical aid was immediately procured to render them every passible assistance. Captain Heaton, of the Star (a brother of the commander of the 1110. Limn), did evi rything in his power to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded, and w,th a promptitude worthy of credit, re turned forthwith to the city, with a view of securing immediate remedies for their recovery. The Mohican caught tire immediately after the explosion, and was entirely conaumed. The deficiency of water in the boilers is said to have been the origin of this afflicting ac cident.

HOUSE OF-COJEVON;S; MARCH 0. SLATE OE TIIE NAVY. Sir CHARLES NAPIEU iti thing to bring the state of the navy under the'dOnsideratitill df th# Mouse, with a view to its improment; said; lie tritated the Hon. Member would hbt sll pp h§p ihtit forward this motion, he was actuates 'ay iiitfif iiiiry;is s, He hoped also that the Eight Hon. Baronet would not suppose that he meant any disrespect towards him. His only motive for bringing this measure before the House was, that it might be fully understood by the represen tatives of the people. It had been for a long period the custom to place a civilian at the head of the Board of Admiralty ; and to that system he was decidedly opposed. - He believed th at a civilian placed in such a situat i on could not have th e smallest knowledge whatever of many of the details which might come under his notice; and it was impossible without some practical experience to carry on the business of tho navy in a proper manner. Parties so called upon to discharge functions for which they were not fitted by their previous experience, wer" ' 4 , 1 (11 ,?bliged t o friends of theirs , for the . purposc of re 7. coiling advice, to the prejudice of the public service. r his opinion the Navy should be ruled i: ' Commander-in-Chief; and he believed there .T.fems e. many others whci coincided with him upon that-subie But at all events he saw no reason wh y the navy slen not have an officer at its head, as was the' , can with the Ordnance, and why that officer sba n t not be Master of the Board.

Still, he thought there ought tO .O Oll degree of decency - in makingpromotions; this wa ste re ssia the case, but had not been regarded since .th e . Veil° of the Reform Bill. During the naval adniii.l'essea" of Lord Melville the Dunciasses were favoin the Greys; since then had been the Greys but promotion among them had been much n 1 than might have been expected.

Many a time had Gallant Officer go up the Admiralty stairs with and come down with a broken one. For the im . 0 these defects he (Sir C. Napier) proposed one vs t pt purchase. It was well known, that for every threeosq'fir only one was promoted; that was, that for three' ve nt , jii r e' out cf the world, , the Admiralty could bring ill j er ibe i t ot places.— (H ear, hear, and laughter.) ,In fact, u grea 0 , sent system, the First Lord of the Admiralty had c h e f prty difficulty in squeezing in an old officer into the l' s ',; the„ss tions.
