On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, Several Noble Lords were appointed a Select Committee to consider of certain matters relative to theiibrary.: Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from the Dissenters of Bromsgrove, from Lauder, and Forfar, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Also a petition from Antrim relative to Dissenter's marrages. POOR-LAW CHAPLAINS (IRELAND). Earl CLANCARTY said he rose, in pursuance of a notice he had given on Monday last, for laying on the table of the House the returns connected with the appointment of chaplains to the poor-houses in Ireland, • that information should be laid before • their Lordships, which might enable them to judge of the soundness of the principle which the Poor law CoMmissionors had adopted in those appoint ments, Whether they were of a reliOotts charact er , or whether, as appeared to him (Earl Cl ancarty), they were directly inconsistent with Protestant reli gion in Ireland. It would be unnecessary for him to trespass at any length upon their Lordship's at tention, and he trVsted he should receive some indulgence, as he seldom' addressed that House,, and did so now on the impulse ofd uty only,lie feared the returns, for which he moved, would show on the face of them that there had been a disregard of the Established Church in Ireland, and an undue leaning to the Church of Rome, as well as trifling with the interests of the rate-payers in Ire land. He did not wish to impute anything to the B:;or-law Commissioners, he was well aware of the . difficulties with which they had t o contend ; of M r . Nichols especially, who was perhaps most implicated in the question to which he (Earl Clancarty) was about to advert, he was far from being insensible of the ser vices which that gentleman had rendered to Ireland, as the author of the Irish Poor-law, and as the Com missioner who had called it into operation, he de served very great credit ; and much as the adminis tration was called before the attention of that House, in the early part of that year, he (Earl Clancarty) was aware that Mr. Nichols had evinced much zeal and labour, and, with the exception of the case to which he now referred, sound judgment, in the man ner in which he had laboured to promote the success ful application of the law. Hitherto the law had been most beneficial in its operations, but he (Earl Clancarty) could not on that account acquiesce in the use, or, rather, abuse, which he had thought fit to make of powers vested in him for the appointment of chaplains. There was nothing in the Act to warrant him to grant to Roman Catholic chaplains salaries more than double the amount of those he had allowed to Protestant chaplains. They had, by so doing, caused an unnecessary expense, and had put a slight on th e E s t a bli s h e d Church, which was aggra vated, by not having been contemplated till after the communication with the Roman Catholic Bishops, in which the Protestants were not consulted. Still less did he (Earl Clancarty) agree that preponderancy of numbers was to form a claim for the clergy of any denomination for partaking of any endowment granted by the State, which was as much as to say that numbers, and not the truth, should form the basis of the national religion. He was free to admit that the circumstances of Ireland, with so large a Roman Catholic and Presbyterian population, required in the enactment of the Poor-law--on the principle of administering relief only in workhouses,and preventing them from going to their own places of wor ship—that the performance of- divine service in those workhouses should be in accordance • with the various tenets of the inmates. The provisions under which the Commissioners acted, authorised the appointment of one chaplain of each persuasion, giving the preference to clergymen of the parish duly qualified. The duties to be performed were equal, the salaries then ought to be equal, but the Poor-law Commissioners, thought other wise=-" Duo aliter visum." The Commissioners thought that the Catholic chaplains ought to be paid more than those of the Established Church, as having more duties to perform in the way of visiting and instructing, so they consulted the Catholic Bishops on the subject. The Catholic Bishops were thus associated with The Commissioners in a manner which he could not approve of.—(Hear.) He did not think that the Legislature, in passing the law, had any intentions of the kind, or that they wished to vest such a power in the Commissioners. If the law 'ere to have such an effect, it was evident, from the speeches delivered in both Houses, that Members were perfectly unconscious of it. The correspondence which had passed between him and Mr. Nichols upon the subject had been laid, by express desire, before the Government; and the answer of the Government was that they did not deem it ne cessary to interfere with the discretion excercised by the Commissioners.. He would not trouble their Lordships further, but conclude by reading the motion which he intended to submit to the House : —l, The number of chaplains that have been ap pointed under the provisions of the Bth section of the Irish Poor-law, with the dates of their several appointments, their names, their religious denomina tions, their salaries, and the names of the Poor-law Unions, for which they are severally appointed ; also, 2d, copy of any minute or resolution of the Poor law Commissioners declaratory of the principle upon which they determined the amounts of the salaries of the chaplains so appointed, with the date of the same ; and should the amount vary, as be tween the chaplains of different denominations, then a statement of the basis of calculation for determining the amounts of the several salaries ; also, 3d, copies of all correspondence, or minutes of conver sations had with any Bishops of the Esta blished Church, relative to the salaries to he paid to the Protestant chaplains : als o 4th, copies of all correspondence or minutes of conver sation had with Roman Catholic Bishops, rela tive to the salaries to be paid to the Roman Catholic chaplains also, sth, copies of all remonstrances anade in writing, or otherwise, to the PoOr-law Com missioners, against the irregularity of the salaries to be given to the chaplains of different religious denomi nations : and also, 6th, copies of all correspondence• between the Poor-law Commissioners and her Ma jesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, or with the Chief Secretary for Ireland, upon the actice adopted by the Poor-law Commissioners in rei la ing the salaries of chaplains appointed or to be appointed under the provi s i ons o f th e I r i s h P oor Belief Act. he Duke of WELLINGTON said that in the fen words which he intended to address to their Lord shiFs on the motion of the Noble Earl, he should en deavour to avoid as much as possible adverting to the Many important topics which the Noble Earl had in troduced to their Lordships. He (the Duke of Wel , lington) could not help calling the motion of the Noble Earl a fishing motion.—(A laugh.) The Noble Earl ought to have given notice of his intention to move for leave to lay upon the table of the House : Bill to alter the Irish Poor-law Act. The whole of his speech was against a particular clause in the Irish Poor-law Act, and therefore he ought to have given notice of his intention to move for a repeal ofthat clause in the Act. ITe (the Duke of Wellington) confessed he found great difficulty in discussing this subject with out adverting to some of those important topics in troduced by the Noble Earl. He (the Duke of Wel lington) hitd been most anxious that the case should be left in the hands of the Government ; and the Noble Earl had been requested to do so, .in order that some inquiry might have been entered into on the part of the Government. Instead of that the Noble Earl thought proper to come forward, as it appeared to him (the Duke of Wellington), for a re yeal of the Poor-law Act. He had shown no ground: whatever for his motion. The first part of the motion was for a return of the number of chaplains; am , the rest of the motion was for correspondence mid even ',conversations respecting them.-4lear.; With respect to all these matters, no ground what ever had been laid before their Lordships for this mo tion, excepting the conversation the Noble Lord had had himself in connection with the subject. Let them look at the case as it stood ; in the English Poor-law Act, which,was the model of this Bill, there was a clause enabling the Poor-law guardian:. . to appoint a clergyman of .the Church of England to he the chaplain of the workhouse. The Legislature had this Act fully before them, when the Irish Poor law Act was passed, and with that clause before them they inserted in the Irish Bill another, empowering the Irish Poor-law Commissioners to apppoint, no; a clergyman of the Church of England, but three clergymen, one of the Established Church, one of the Dissenting persuasi o n, an d the third of the Roman Catholic persuasion, with the power also of fixing their salaries as they thought proper, by the 49th section of the Act. And not only this, but the Legislature had before them, at the same time, the Irish Gaol Act, under working g h is th h e a m d be which the Grand Jury had the pow er o f appointing three chaplains to the g . sol, end _of givi had certain salaries stated in the la w. en passed many years,andits been well understood long before the Irish Poor -law Bill was passed. But this, too, was not all, w ith re spect to the provisions of the Irish Gaol Act, for, be sides their spiritual duties, the chaplaiss were required to perform certain other duties in the interior of the gaol, such as the inspection of the provisions, and Geeing whether they were fit for the coisuinption the prisoner s , an d ot h er d ut i es spec ifi e d h v -th e c lause ofth e Act. They would next come to consider the di.scretion which th "atilialature, having those two laws befire ~~~, ~~ l 'f v 13tOpe — i to allow to the Poor-l aw their eyes, thought Contniitsioners with respect to the salaries to be given to those different descriptions of cler g y men. They knew that they had to legislate for a country in which there were large classes of inhabitants of one religious persuasion, among whom there Were fortunately very few persons who were likely to be paupers in a workliOuse-4hat there were other classes, of another religions denomina tion, of whom it was probable there would be very large numbers occasionally in workhouses, and that there were a third class, of whom also fortunately there would be but comparatively few individuals obliged to resort to workhouses. The Legislature also knew that these different classes prevailed in great va riety of numbers in different parts of the country, and that one general rule would not apply to all. They, therefore, left to the Commissioners the power of exercising their discretion according to the best of their judgment. Ile (the Duke of Welling ton) believed that that was a perfectly pro per and Ootind discretion to be allowed them. The clergymen to be appointed to the situations in question were the c!ergymen of the parish in w hi c h the poo r -h ouse was. The duties to be performed were, in many instances, very extensive, and in others they were still more extensive. And what was the rule the Commissioners laid down with re spect to these salaries ? It was this ; that the maximum salary should be 651. a-year, and the minimum 251. a-year (as we understood the Noble Duke). The circumstances of that Country rendered it necessary to assemble large bodies of persons in workhouses,. in order to administer to their re lief. It was desirable to afford them the benefit of spiritual instruction, and the public were willing to defray' a part of the expense which might be incurred for that purpose. If there were only one or, two individuals, it could not be expected that the same sum would be expended as far a larger number. Under these circumstances, though he did not wish to treat the question of his Noble Friend with disrespect, he trusted that it would not succeed. I He would suggest to the Noble Lord that the best course would be to bring forward a Bill for the re peal of the clause, when he would have an oppor tunity of stating the views he entertained upon this subject. The Earl of CLANCARTY explained. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that consider ing the official connection which he had had with the first working of the Irish Poor-law, he trusted that he might be allowed to express the very great satisfaction which he felt at the manner in which the Noble Duke had met the motion of his Noble Friend.—(Hear.) In spite of some flattering expressions towards Mr. Nichols, any person who heard that address must be con vinced that it would be, impossible for Mr. Nichols, or any other person holding a similar office, to discharge the duties which devolved upon . him, unless .such motions were met in the manner which "the present had been by the Noble Duke.—(Hear.) The Noble Earl had not only moved for a repeal of the Irish Poor-law Act, but he brought charges of partiality and favouritism against those who had the administration of the Irish Poor-law, and accused them of disregard to the interests of the Esta blished Church. Ile did. not desire to comment severely on the Noble Lord, because, as he said, he was not accustomed to address their Lordships, but he would say the Noble Lord should not make such charges against individuals who were perhaps 'as much attached to the Established Church as the Noble Lord himself. The terms of the motion were in themselves novel, and in some parts—the Noble Earl would forgive him for say ing so—perfectly absurd ; and he could not but express his satisfaction at the manner in which the motion was met by the Noble Duke.—(Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM begged to say one word on the subject. The Nobl e Earl stated his case in very strong terms ; and the manner in which his motion was worded, was certainly very novel. (The Noble Lord then quoted various passages from the motion, and showed that it would be impossible for a Protestant Bishop to speak to a Protestant, or for a Roman Catholic Bishop to speak to a Catholic, unless a minute was made of it, and laid before their Lordships.) Upon the notice he (Lord Brougham) thought that the motion of the Noble Viscount should be agreed to.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of CLANCARTY said he well recol- lected that the Noble Duke (Wellington) had not only recommended the production of minutes of con versations, with reference to the Irish Poor-law Act, upon former occasions, but the Noble Duke had in sisted even upon the production of private letters. The Noble Duke insisted that letters which were entirely of a private nature should be laid before the House. The Noble Duke had already insisted also upon the production of the minutes of all conversations. Lord BROUGHAM—Those were conversations with Bishops, not with Poor-law Commissioners. Earl CLANCARTY thanked the Noble and Learned Lord for that ; but the Noble and Learned Lord seemed to have totally forgotten, that the minutes of those conversations were already laid upon the table of the House. Lord BROUGHAM—Conversation with whom ? —(Laugster and cheers.) Earl of CLANCARTY—With the Commissioners. —(lronical cheers.) Lord BROUGHAM—But that is not your motion. The Earl of CLANCARTY was understood to say that it must have been quite clear to any one, that the minute of the conversations he alluded to was between the Bishops and the Commissioners. Under those circumstances, he thought he was en titled to the production of the correspondence. That part of the motion, of course, which related to the minutes of conversation, must' be withdrawn. Per haps the motion had better be altogether withdrawn. —(Hear, hear, and laughter.) With regard to what the Noble Marquis had said about his remark rela tive to favour to the Established Church, he (Lord Clancarty) thought he had a right to say that there was no sincerity in their friendship to the Church.— (Cries of " Order, order.") He was not out of or ler, for an Act of Parliament prohibited certain Peers from voting on questions connected with the Established Church, on account of their insincerity. The Marquis of NORMANBY—What Act - • The Earl of CLANCARTY—The Roman Catho- lie Relief Bill.—(Laughter and ironical cheers.) Surely, then, he was in order in attributing to them incincerity in their friendship for the Church. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the Noble Peer was decidedly out of order. The Earl of CLANCARTY was sorry for being out of order. He should not have brought forward this motion if the Noble Duke had not promised to give him every information He had con sulted with the Government beforehand. He ',ad seen the Irish Secretary for Ireland that day ,n the subject, and they all alike adhered to this practice, which he considered objectionable. If their Lordships sanctioned the course taken by the Poor law Commissioners, they would be sanctioning a .!ourse which was clearly illegal. lie withdrew his motion, but regretted the information he required was not aftbrded. The Duke of WELLINGTON wished the Noble Earl would explain to the House if he (the Duke of Wellington) had told him that he should have the information, after it had come to, his (the Duke of Wellington's) knowledge what the information was that he desired. Some months ago the Noble Earl had asked him about information, without tell ng him what it was he wanted to know, tnd he (the Duke) had referred him to the Irish Go . vemment, and told him that they could gire him any other information he might require. But when he •atne to see the notice that the Noble Earl had given, he felt that it was of such a description that it would be impossible for the house to grant the informa tion, unless the Noble Lord moved for the repeal of the law. The Earl of CLANCARTY male a few observa tions in explanation, wljch were inaudible in the gallery. The Bishop of EXETER said he thought the manner in which the'Noble Earl had brought forward his motion deserved the thanks of their Lordships. With respect to those Commissioners, he (the Bishop if Exeter had heard with pain a principle §et forth not quite in accordance with what they had heard when the Poor-law Bill came before the House. Great powers were given to these Commissioners ; and when that was, mentioned, it was replied that what ever they did would be under the control of Parlia ment, they would be answerable for their actions, tad returns would be constantly made. What :lid the Noble Lord ask ? He had stated, and he (the Bishop of Exeter) thought that he had made out a prima facie case, that there appeared to be an undue depression of the Church of England made by these Commissioners, the smallest stipends , pf 201. being almost invariably devoted to the Church if England chaplains. li e (the Bishop of Exeter) thought they were indebted to the Noble Earl for bringing forward this motion. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, that this was a Bill for the payment of chaplains, who were to be paid, not according to their creed, but according to the duties they performed ; and it followed that those chaplains who had the greatest number of their creed in the poor-houses performed the greatest services. If ever there were a motion that ought to be rejected by their Lordships the present was it. He, therefore, quite agreed with the Noble Duke in opposing it. Motion withdrawn. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from a place in Wiltshire, for a repeal of the duties on corn and provisions. Lord MON'rEAGLE presented a petition from Congleton, in Cheshire, signed by about 3,000 per sons, for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord DUNCANNON moved for certain returns relative to the appointment of deputy-lieutenants and deputy-sheriff s in Ireland. Their Lordships then adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We are inclined on the whole to accept the view which is taken by those Ministerialists who keep a weather eye open, and know they must look out for squalls, which will at no distant day capsize the crazy craft they are pitching and patching, in the forlorn hope . that it may not " finally" founder till the end of their trading voyage. The Times re presents this class of Ministerialists, and has no better character to give of the Peel project than that it will pave the way for a fixed duty ! Sir James Graham also has repudiated the notion of finality (and, if what we quoted yesterday respecting him as a landlord is true, the Right Hon. Baronet permits no finality in the rise of his rents at least). It appears then, on the whole, that the best which the cunning and long-headed portion of the fcan say thewe f d o g r e. it We that i s t up li p s o t r s ter in s o th f e the sm al Co l rn en ß d ill e ac cept the augury 1 We admit the success with which the New Corn-law Minister has placed the inte rest, by force of whose alarms he was hoisted to office, on an inclined plane, where the mere momentum of the masses behind them must press them onward. He has deprived their position of that vis inePtice which could alone give it a hope of permanence ; and they have now before them the prospect of indefinite inno vation. They have moved just enough to demonstrate that their disinclination to moving does .not enable ' them to resist the pressure from without. They will still less be able to resist that pressure when it shall be brought to enforce the necesssity of substituting reality for pretence. So far, then, the abolition of monopoly has been certainly forwarded. It does not follow that the cre dit for this first step belongs to those who have made it. This is what the " No-finality" Ministerialists would palm on the public. We do not hesitate to denounce this as effrontery even in them astonishing. What credit can be due for action against the most recently professed principles ? What credit can be due to claims for resemblance in principle to the very oppo nents who were driven from power by dint of raising hostility to their principles ? What credit can be due for legislating on bad principles, to prove the value of good ones ? That credit, whatever be its amount, the Times claims for the scheme of Ministers. STANDARD.—The debate upon Lord Jobn Rus sell's motion terminated last night in a signal victory obtained by Ministers over all the various sections of the Opposition, united for the occasion, and voting, if not speaking, in perfect harmony. The numbers upon the division were—For Lord John's motion, 226 ; against it, 349.—A Majority of One Hundred and Twenty-three I This looks like a return to old usages, and speaks well for the power and solidity of Sir R. Peel's Administration. It is impossible to overrate, the value of such a display of strength in relation to the interests of the nation at home and abroad. We need scarcely say that nothing of the kind has been seen since the fever of the first reformed Parliament; but we may properly remind those who resisted any re form, as necessarily disorganizing the constitution, that they held such a manifestation of the just power of the Executive, as impossible, after any reform should be effected. We—our readers will, we hope, be just enough to remember—maintained the opposite opinion, avowing our conviction that some reform had become necessary, we, professed comparative indifference as to its form, confident that whatever law might be presented to the people of this nation, their good sense and good disposition would draw from it the best consequences. Our anticipation has been realised more promptly than it was possible to hope. Within ten years from the passing of the Reform Bill we see a Conservative Minister, supported in a contest ,forced upon him, because as it was believed to be the contest in which he must be most seriously embarrassed, by a majority of one h un d re d and twenty-three. The majority of ninety-one, with which Sir. Robert Peel commenced his Government, has been augmented by more than thirty per cent. in four or five months, in defiance of an agitating con spiracy indefatigably employing for more than a year all the incendiary topics by which popular feeling is most easily excited. Is this the triumph of the Mi nister ? Certainly not. In the first place, it is the triumph of the people—the triumph of the people over the League—over their mercenary lecturers and hired mobs. COURIER.—The only speeches worthy of any special notice delivered from the Opposition benches were those of the three ex-Ministers—Lords Pal merston, John Russell, and Mr. Labouchere--and principles as adverse to a free trade in corn were maintained in each of these, as in any emanating from the Ministerial benches. The great object for the accomplishment of which the leaders of the Opposition appeared to labour, was to prove that the step adventured by Sir Robert Peel, though admitted to have been taken in the right direction, did not go far enough; indeed they struggled hard to make it appear that the benefits to be expected from the proposed change were not worth contending for—" You innovate, but do not improve ; you disturb, but do not settle ; you concede, but do not conciliate "—were the burden of the reproaches levelled by each succeeding speaker against the framers of the measure then before the House ; reproaches, which a glance at the construc tion of the proposed scale of duties, contrasted with that it is intended to displace, shows to be utterly un justified. But it has ever been the_ characteristic of the Whig party to mean abolition, when they speak of amendment—to contemplate revolution, when they pprrsvee s n p eta Government asdkyese system, edni measure y of change. de, "aanun drdeassert nAi its the sl favour supporters is, thatof it t wille importantt m willp r improvement i n o i n s e the previousiawsaei gn corn and regulationse ninto eh t with isu ee r n e ty g r ar . dto the Againstim portation the objections to details u rge d w i th such one-sided perti nacityby Lord John Russell, and the succeeding speakers on his side of the House, Sir Robert Peel vindicated his measure most t r i ump h antly last night demonstrating that though it may f a i l to m' ciliate extremes—though it may prove distasteful to Anti-Corn-law brawlers on the one side, and to those who exclusively look to the interests of agricultur e on the other—it will command the approval and sanction of that large intermediate class, which may be justly said to constitute the great bulk of the nation. A JUNGLE SCENE.—As they penetrated deeper into the woods, the gloom became more intense, and the deep silence of solitude more imposing. It almost inspired them with a feeling of awe. Not a bird, not even an insect was heard. It appeared as if no living thi ng had ever disturbed the solitude of the primeval forest. And yet there were occasional traces of life. The tall rank grass which grew up to the height of ten or twe!ve feet, was in many places trampled down by the wandering he r d s of wild elephants; several recent footmarks of tigers might be traced along the sandy path ; and once or twice a Jungle_ dog was seen to glide across the road, with the drooping tail and stealthy pace which Indicate the prowling savage_ Here and there an occasional opening in the tree-tops varied the monotony of the scene. exhibiting a gorgeous view of the mountains.

We are required I every year to make a true return of any addition to the number of our dogs, horses, &c., chargeable for assessed taxes; yet the landowners have forgotten to make a return of their rentals chargeable_ with land tax since 1692 ! The consequence is, that the tax is now yielding only the same amount to the revenue as it did 149 years ago, whilst the rental has increased fifteen fold. A. bona fide land-tax of 4s. in the pound upon the real rental of the country ought now to yield 40,000,0001. a year while less than two milli ons are paid.- The Struggle. Last week a Court was held for the despatch of public business. THE OFFICE OF JUDGE OF THE SHERIFF'S COURT OP THE CITY OF LONDON. In consequence of the general understanding that the Report on the subject of the offices vacant by the de cease of sergeant Arabin would be presented, there was a full attendance of mendiefs, as *ell as of persons ad= mitted below the bar. Alderman Baow:i, after a few preliminary observa tions, presented the following Report:—" In obedience to an order of this Honourable Court of the 18th day of January last, to consider the resolution of the Secon daries and City Courts Committee for a conference on the Report of the City Solicitor, respecting additional sessions being held at the Central Criminal Court, and other subjects connected with the vacant offices in the Sheriff's Court, and to confer with a deputation of the said Committee, and to report our opinion upon the sub ject of the said communication, we, whose names are hereunto subscribed of your Committee, do certify that we were attended by Mr. Recorder, John Clerk, Esq., the Clerk of the Peace, and'Mr. Solicitor, and duly pro ceeded to consider so much of the said report of Mr. So licitor as related to holding of intermediate sessions at the Central Criminal Court, and also as to whether both or only one of the vacant offices of,Judge of the Sheriff's Court should be filled ; and after conferring with a De • putation from the Secondaries' and City Courts' Com mittee, as requested, we are of opinion that it is neither necessary nor expedient that any increase should be made in the number of sittings of the Central Criminal Court, either by the holding of intermediate sessions. or by the adjournment from time to time of each or any of the sessions as now holden, which would, in effect, be the same as the holding of intermediate sessions. That the citizens of London have ever deemed it an important pri vilege that the local Magistrates elected by themselves should form a portion of the Judges presiding in the Courts established for the administration of criminal justice within the City, and that in our opinion it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of,the Magis trates of London were:they to sanction any measure which might countenance their non-attendance at the sessions of the Court, as now established by law. That while we refrain from offering an opinion upon the question gene rally, whether any or both of the vacant offices of Judge of the Sheriff's Court should be filled up, we are fully convinced that the assistance. hitherto rendered by the Court towards the admistration of justice in the Central Criminal Court, by means of salaried judges in the per sons of the Recorder and Common Sergeant, and a Judge Of the Sheriff's Court, is abundantly sufficient, andought not to be increased, and that any occasional temporary inconvenience from accidental circumstances, occasioning the absence of any such salaried judges, maybe reme died by that accommodation which the Judges of the su perior courts, acting frem time to time as Commissioners at the Central Criminal Court, are at all times kindly disposed to render, when the salaried judges act ing for this City are incapacitated from dis charging their duties. At the same time we feel it our duty to suggest that, should the Court of Common Council eventually determine to fill up the two vacancies, it will be desirable that the gentlemen who may be elected Judges of the Sheriff's Court should re ceive their appointments at the salaries paid to those officers prior to the establishment of the Central Crimi nal Court ; that it should be encumbent upon the senior Judge for the time being to sit in such Court, as the prior salaried Judge, on the part of this City ; and that for such service he should receive an additional remune ration, to such an amount as shall be determined by the ourt of Common Council ; and, further, that the question of seniority between the Judges of the Sheriff's Court should be determined as follows :—lf both such Judges shall have been previously in the service of the City, they should take rank according to that held by them in such prior service ; if one of such Judges should have been in such service, and the other not, the former shall be considered the senior of the two ; and that if neither of them should have been in such service, they should respectively take rank as Judges according to their standing at the bar ; and we recommend the same to this lion. Court accordingly. " All which we submit to the judgment of this Hon. Court. " Dated this Bth day of February, 1842. " MATTHEW WEIOD, G. CARROLL, MICHAEL GIBBS, A. BROWN, JOHN JOHNSON, W. T. COPELAND." The Report then gave rise to a long discussion. Alderman T.WOOD moved the following amendment : " That this Court are of opinion, both the vacant offices of Judge of the Sheriff's Court should be . forth with filled up, and that the salary and allowance made to the late Sergeant Arabin should be equally divided be tween the gentlemen who may be appointed ; and that they be required to perform, in addition to their duties as Judges of the Sheriff's Court, all the duties of the Central Criminal Court heretofore performed by the late Sergeant Arabia, not interfering with the duties hitherto performed by the Recorder and Common Sergeant." Upon a show of hands, the LORD MAYOR declared that the amendment was negatived by a majority of 5 ; the numbers being for the amendment 6, against it 11. The Report was then agreed to, and ordered to be transmit ted to the Secondaries' Committee. It is proper to state that the City's Solicitor's report alluded to in the Report presented by Alderman Brown, recommended, as our reporter was informed, the appoint ment of two Judges of the Sheriff's Court (who by virtue of their offices are in the commission of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery), to hold an intermediate session, more especially for the trial of juvenile offenders, and the abolition of the Evening Sittings of the Central Criminal Court. THE GERMAN WOOL TRADE. HA msunGu, JA N. 25.—The position of the Ger man wool trade demands a somewhat lengthened no tice. The arrivals of wool into Hamburgh during the past year, for shipment into Great Britain reached to only 62,052 bales against 65,543 bales, which arrived at Hamburgh during the year preceding. Never theless, the stocks of wool on hand in Berlin, Breslau, Leipsic, and the other principal depots for wool in Germany, were very much less on the Ist January, 1842, than on the same day twelve months previous. The stock in Berlin was less than half the amount at the corresponding period of last year. In Breslau and Leipsic the comparative diminution was still greater. It is computed that not more than 5,000 cwt. of wool remained over in Breslau, and the stock in Leipsic wits too insignificant to merit notice at all. The stocks now on hand CiPnsist for the most part 'of fleeces of inferior growth and quality, the 5,000 cwt. in Breslau being exclusively low Polish fleeces, and the stock in Berlin consisting principally of the same description, intermixed with a very few flocks of good Prussian or Silesian fleeces, upon which the holders appear determined to speculate for high prices. Combing fleeces, and lambs' wools fall entirely, and the quantity of clean skin-wool of fair quality on hand is unusually small. From these facts, it being known that the export of wool from Germany to France and Belgium did not exceed in 1841 that of former years, proofs are afforded that the woollen manufacture of Germany has flourished during the past year ; proofs in corroboration of the statements which were made last year from time to time, and which were periodically alluded to in the " Prices-current" of 1841. The depressed condition -of all branches of the woollen ma nufacture of Great Britain, which is reported from across the water by every mail, appears to have no effect whatever either upon the opinions or the operations of the German wool dealers, who are con tracting daily with the farmers for their clips of wool of the present year, and are even paying higher prices than were current at the last wool fairs. The Ger man wool dealer feels now independent of the influence of British demand, and appears to regulate his op era ti ons entirely by the stat e o f the woollen manufacture of his own country. The stock of wool in Hamburgh amounts to about 2,500 bales, chiefly of inferior Prussian and Mecklenburg fleeces. There is no good combing wool to be met with, nor is the general character of the stock such as would suit the demand of a manufacturer of good cloths. Holders here would gladly realise ; but as the wool trade of this city deends almost exclusively upon the demand from (Treat Britain (from whence the accounts are excessively disheartening), and as the quality of our stock in general is not calculated to attract speculators, the market is perfectly inanimate. A. few parcels of Prussian fleeces, which had been con signed to Hamburgh from Berlin for sale, have been returned to the latter city, where the different posi tion of the wool trade will more than compensate for the loss of carriage both ways, and all the other inter mediate charges. NOVA SCOTIA. We 'have received the Halifax Morning Post of the 20th of January, from which we copy the fol lowing:— OPENING OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THURSDAY, JAN. 20. At t w o o'clock, this day, his Excellency Lord Viscount Falkland, attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Liettt.-Colonel Cunard, and Captain M'Nab. and the Officers of the Staff of the Army, proceeded to the Council Chamber to open the Session of the Legislature. His Excellency having entered, and being seated on the Throne, and commanded the attendance of the House of Assembly, delivered the following speech to both branches of the Legislature : " Mr. President, and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " I rejoice at the recurrence of that season of the year at which I am entitled to benefit by your advice and ass i s t anc e in the conduct o f pu bli c affairs ; .and to avail myself of the legislative experience and local knowledge possessed by so many among you. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to meet your understjod wishes in regard to the time of convening you in general assembly. "It is my gratifyin g duty to announce to you the birth of a male heir to the Throne ; you will, I am sure, share in the joy felt by all subjects of our gracious Sovereign at an event so calculated to promote the do mestic happiness of her Majesty, and to assure the future prosperity of the empire. " Although a slight decrease has taken place in the revenue, I am glad to be able to state, that no diminution has occurred of sufficient amount to affect the scale of the public expenditure, and that all provincial engage ments, up to this period, have been punctually discharged. " The fisheries have been as productive as in former years, the continued success of this branch of industry being in a great degree attributed to the vessels manned and fitted out with a view to its protection. " We have to be thankful for a most abundant harvest. There is reason to believe that the heavy expense incurred by the province, and the efforts lately made by the legis, lature, with a view to the encouragement of agriculture, and the introduction of a more scientific system of culti vation, will be attended with much future benefit. " All matters recommended to the consideration of the executive by the legislature during the last session have met with due attention, and the correspondence relating to these subj ec t s will forthwith be communi cated to you. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, . _ _ " The accounts to the 31st of December are prepared, and shall be laid before you without delay. I trust that, on investigation, it will appear that the provincial funds have been neither prodigally nor injudiciously expended, and I confidently rely on your liberality to provide the requisite supplies for the current year. " Mr. President and Hon. Gentlemen of the Legis lative Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, The defective state of the law as respects debtor and creditor, rendering it in many cases inoperative, and in others unjust to both alike, has suggested to the Go vernment the necessity of a provision by which the rights of each may be clearly defined and secured. The evident need of some enactment of this nature seems to be ge nerally admitted, and the main principles on which such an act ought to be founded to be as generally conceded ; every anxiety therefore has been felt by myself, and those to whose aid and-advice I have had recourse, to frame a statute on the subject, that any difficulties heretofore ex perienced in the arrangement of the details of a bankrupt law should be overcome ; I hope you will find this to have been accomplished in the proposition which will be submitted to you, and that the commercial part of the community will no longer suffer under the want of this indispensable protection. " The Crown officers have been engaged in a careful revision of the criminal law, and are prepared to propose for adoption such further amendments as are yet regpi site to assimilate the provincial code to that of the mo ther country. " The Legislature having already entered on the con sideration of the existing law of probate, and of the mode in which the distribution of the estates of de ceased persons should be regulated the attention of the Government has been drawn to the subject, and a Bill, founded on a measure, which has been partially approved of by the House Assembly, will be subjected to your deliberation. " Any step which you shall consider as having a ten dency to ameliorate the condition of the Indian popula tion of Nova Scotia, will, I am convinced, meet with your ready concurrence; and,' in asking your co-opera tion to this end, I feel no doubt that a bill, which will shortly be presented to you, and which has been framed with a view to this object, will meet with a favourable reception. "Several other measures of great importance, as es sentially effecting the internal administration of the pro vince will be offered for your approval. "In endeavouring by every means in my power to ascertain what practical improvements are most wanted, and in urging those improvements on' the legisla ture, I have but done my duty to the Queen and to the colony. Your task remains to be performed : from you, the country will expect a scrutinising and candid examination of the mea sures propounded, and the provincial Government, aware that it is as much your duty as it is your right to weigh all propositions bearing on the public interests, while it offers for your consideration, plans deemed, after mature deliberation, to be of such a nature that your adoption of them would lead to the best results, frankly invites investigation, and courts your assistance as well to dis cover and reject that which is inexpedient, as to perfect, and bring into operation whatever shall appear likely to contribute to the general welfare." After his Excellency retired, Mr. Morton moved that an address should be presented to his Excellency in answer to the speech, and read a draft thereof. • The Hon. Mr. M`Nab seconded the motion, and after a few observations, the address proposed was adopted. THE SEVENTY-SECOND, or DUKE OF ALBANY'S OWN HIGHLANDERS. Authentic Copy of Field-Marshal the Duke of Welling ton's Address, in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle, on the Presentation of Colours to the 72d Highlanders, on the 26th of January, 1842. Colonel Arbuthnot, and you, Gentlemen, Officers, and you, Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of the 72d Highland Regiment —I have attended here this day. in compliance with the wishes of your Commanding-officer, and by permission of her Majesty. to present to you your new colours. These colours have been consecrated by one of the highest dignitaries of our Church, and are pre sented to you in the presence of her Majesty, and of her ' Illustrious and Royal Guest the Ring of Prussia, of Prince Albert, and a number of most distinguished personages. They are composed of the colours of the three nations, and bear the cipher of her Majesty, and I have no doubt, from your previous them y under every urpresent high c st i a rc t u e m of st d a i n s c c e ip , lin to h discipline, that te you will guard utmost of your power. These colours you are henceforth to consider as your head quarters, and in every circumstance, in all times of pri vation and of distress, you will look to them as your rallying point ; and I would again remind you that their presentation is witnessed by the Monarch of one of the most powerful nations in Europe_a nation which boasts of an army which has heretofore been a pattern for all modern troops—and which has done so much towards contributing to the general pacification of Europe. And I am proud to show so fine a regiment to his Majesty the King of Prussia. I have long known the 72d Highland Regiment : half a century has now nearly elapsed since I had the pleasure of serving in the same army with them in the plains of Hindostan ; since that period they have been engaged in the conquest of some of the most valu able colonies of the British Crown . ; and, latterly, in per forming most distinguished services at the Cape of Good hope. Fourteen years out of the last sixteen they have spent on foreign service, and with only eighteen months at home for their reformation and their re-disciplining, appear in their present high state of re gularity and order. The best part of a long life has been spent by me in the barracks, camps, and canton ments, and it has been my duty, as well as my inclina tion, always to study how best to promote the health and discipline of the troops ; and I have always found it only to be done by paying the strictest regard to re gularity and good order, and the greatest attention to the orders of their officers. I address myself now particu larly to the older soldiers; and wish them to understand that their strict attention to their discipline and respect to their superiors will often have the best effect on the younger soldiers, and it is, therefore, their duty to set a good example to their juniors by so doing, and by these means alone can they expect to command the respect and regard of the community amongst whom I have made it n a d cnodnuna tni b iT il t l a s t rejoiced respect and thett 0 1l e inquire 7 a 2 r d e e in h p a l a ) i l , r o e t y i particularly, and which been stationed, to regard, wherever they have and good order so justly their high state of discipline I am sure, always recol lect entitles them.

The Place de Grefe and the Place du Ch a t e l e t pre rented, on Sunday afternoon, ti trectacle of extra ordinary lzu Ale and interest. It being the tefttlination of the winter season, upwards of 45,000 workmen, masters, and foremen, were assembled to make new engagements for the summer works at. the forti fications, buildings, and other constructions now in ptogregg, or about to be undertaken, in Paris and its en vironS. Orders have been given for resuming all the ma. sonrpwork on the detached forts upon the first o: next month. The city of Paris has resumed the works at the new church of St. Vincent de Paul, in the Place Lafayette, Faubourg Poissonniere. Numerous men are em ployed in executing the capitals - of the pillars and other ornamental sculpture of the choir. Labourers are also digging for the foundation of the double flight of steps leading from the Place Lafayette to the portico. The building is filled with scaffolding for facilitating the painting of the friezes, the tribunes, the demi-cupola of the choir, and other internal decorations. The following are said to be the in tended adornments of the exterior of the building and its approaches :—ln the Place Lafayette, in a line with .the Rue Hauteville, is to be erected a large fountain, and there are to be two others on each side, near the steps. The friezes of the towers and the pediment are to be painted on lava; the pediment and all the ex ternal statues are to be of white marble from the Pyre nees. The columns inside the church are to be stuccoed. There are to be paintings from sacred history all round the nave, on a wide frieze, between the lower and upper range of columns, on the aisles of the nave, in the galleries, and on the demi-cupola of the choir, and on the vault of the nave, for which last the designs have already been sketched, for the pur pose Of judging the effect. • We have already mentioned that the Municipal Council of Paris had lately decided upon the canali sation of the small arm of the Seine, on the south of the Ile de la Cite, from the Pont de l'Archeveche to below the Pont-Neuf; the total cost of this operation is estimated at 4,000,000 f. From this, and the other works previously determined upon, it results that the Pont-au-Double, the Petit-Point, and the Pont Saint-Michel will be replaced by three semi-circular arches of 34 metres, 40 centimetres' span (about 112 feet). A towing-path of from 6to 8 metres (20 to 25 feet) in width, and 4 metres (13 feet) above the highest mark on the scales, will be formed from the Pont de l'Archeveche to below the Pont-Neuf; a dam in masonry 50 metres (about 165 feet) long will be raised with a sluice (barrage) between the Pont des Arts and the Pont-Neuf. There will be another moveable dam, which. will disappear when the river rises to the height of five metres (16 feet, 4 inches). Parallel to this dam, and at the foot of the Quai Conti, will be conStructed a sluice similar to that, of nearly 12 metres (about 40 feet) in width, and parallel to the dam, behind the terre plein of the Pont-Neuf, there will be raised water-works with turbines, which will set in movement sufficient pumps to raise the water in the great arm, and then .force it through pipes into reservoirs for distribution in the different quarters of Paris. These turbines will, when the river is high, distribute 80 cubic metres (about 105 cubic yards) of water per second, and when the river is low 50 cubic metres (about 66 yards) of water per second, without giving additional rapidity to the current of the water in the smaller arm. In the first case the engine will be of a force equal to 600 horse-power, and in the second case to 1,200 horse-power. In consequence of this establishment the water-works - on the Pont Notre Dame, will be taken away, and replaced by a moveable dam. The bed of the smaller arm- will be deepened one metre (three feet three inches) below its present level, so that there may be always a draught of at least two metres or six feet and a half. In fine, paved ways for the service of the towing paths, and watering-places for horses, will be formed on the Quai des Orfevres and the Quai des Augustins. These immense works will be com menced in the course of the present year. The gene ral plan of improvement comprises also the following important works, the execution of which, howev e r, i s deferred till a future period, viz."--a towing path from the Pont des Arts to the Pont de Grenelle, estimated at 1,300,000 f. Piles and wood work at the Pont d'Austerlitz, with the Pont de Bercy, esti mated together at 2,700,000 f. The completion of the Quai Saint Nicholas, 300,000 f. The formation of a lower wharf along the Quai des Tuileries, and the reconstruction of the parapet of the upper wharf, 800,000 f. Total, 5,100,000 f. NOBLE WILLS. The two beads of the illustrious family of Fane, o Vane, have both expired at an extremely advanced pe riod of life, within these few days. The chief of the younger or Vane branch, the Duke of Cleveland, has left nothing in his pincer, which he had it in his power to alienate, to the Conservative heir of his honours. The new Duke has only the entailed estates, which may be worth about 50,0001. per annum. In these are in cluded the great bulk of the Shropshire property, and Raby Castle, in Durham, with the domains immediately adjoining that princely seat. But the main territory in Durham, being one of the very finest possessions in England, and comprising the northern bank of the Tees for nearly thirty miles, has been severed from the duke dom, and divided among the younger branches of the family. We have not heard as yet in what exact pro portions, but report speaks of a large share to the late Duke's favourite daughter, Lady Augusta Milbanke ; and no doubt Lord Harry Vane, his only Whig son, has been liberally provided for.* Newton House, and the whole of the Yorkshire manors in that vicinity, worth 10,000/. a-year, are said to be left at the absolute dis posal of the Dowager ; and it is added that this per sonage has also the house in St. James's-square, with the whole of the plate, &c., excepting, of course, heir looms. The Newton property was purchased by the late Duke, and we believe it had been anticipated that it would turn out to have been settled from the first on his Duchess. We believe she never had any child by the Duke of Cleveland. The late head of the Fanes, the elder branch of the same noble stock, seems to have made a still more ca pricious will than his ducal cadet. Though the Earl of Westmoreland had always appeared to live on affec tionate terms with Lord Burghersh—certainly one of the most amiable and accomplished gentlemen in Eng land, and highly distinguished in his military capacity— the ancient Peer has, it seems, actually disinherited his son. The new Earl takes nothing with his titles but Apethorp, and the entailed estates adjoining that vast but dilapidated castle in Northamptonshire. The unen tailed lands in that county, the whole Somersetshire es tate, the mansion in Grosvenor-square, with all the per sonalty, including the furniture and pictures at Apethorp itself—nay, even, it is asserted, the diamonds of the present Earl's mother (Miss Child, the sole heiress of the great banker), are left to the old Lord's daughter by his second marriage, the Lady Georgiana Pane. No notice whatever is taken in this will of the daughter by his first marriage, the Countess of Jersey, who probably expected at least to have her own mother's jewels. Lady Georgiana becomes thus a great heiress, probably the second in the country. The Somersetshire estate alone is said to bring from 5,000/. to 6,000/. a-year ; and there is a handsome residence on that property. Lady Georgiana is an elegant-looking spinster, apparently about thirty.—John Bull. * Since the above was in type we have ascertained that be tween the Duke's two youngest sons not less than 40,000/. a year have been divided. A ROMAN CE. A curious circumstance lately occurred here in one of the principal hotels. A party, consisting of an English nobleman and his wife, a gentleman who has been living in considerable style at the west end of London, and a young lady of family and fortune in the West of England, were all residing in the house. The young lady Iliad accompanied the two married ladies alluded to, to Paris, and had been enjoying all the gaieties •of this gay city. The unmarried gentle man already noticed had paid his addresses to the young lady before their arrival here, although unsuc cesfully, and was busy in renewing his vrotestations. All on a sudden, however, a few mornings ago, the whole hotel were roused out of their beds by the shrieks of the young lady, who immediately charged the gentleman alluded to with an attempt to violate her person by entering her bed-room. The greatest ferment reigned over the whole establishment until the following morning, when the young lady sought the advice of the Ambassador. A challenge was sent by a friend of the young lady to the offender, who im mediately produced a note, as he represented, written to him by her, inviting him to come to her bed-room on the night in question ; and to such a degree had the culprit imposed on the friends seeking satisfac tion, that they were led to believe that she had really been guilty; and it is said that the Ambas sador concurred in the advice which had been given by her friends, namely, that she should at once marry the gentleman, her former suitor. To this she most resolutely replied she would sooner die ; that the let ter was a forgery, and. that no power on earth could prevent her from going home and con su lti ng w i t h her family on this affair, so serious to her character. She left for London, and on the day she left it was accidentally discovered in Galign an i th at t h e gentle man who intruded himself into the lady's room had been declared a bankrupt as a broker in the city. Finding himself blown on, he immediately repaired to the Ambassador's, asked for a fresh passport in a false name, and was actually on his way to Belgium when arrested on a charge of fraud on the police. He was sent to the prison La Force, where we believe he is at present. No idea can be formed of the great ex citement amongst the E ng li s h i n Paris about this most extraordinary affair. There are a great many awkward rumou rs a fl oat on the subject, which I will refrain from giving, as doubtless the affair will un dergo some farther investigation. —Letter from Paris. A _mong other reforms introduced by the new Grand Vizir at Constantinople has been the 16wering of the price of bread• A Correspondent of the Gazette el Upper Germane/ states, that a short time since, the Vizir summoned all the bakers of the capital to attend him, and informed them that, under pain of corporal punishment (the nailing of their ears to their door. posts), they were hencefolth to sell bread at two pares cheaper than before.
