To-day Cod Oil was in good request for export, at 271 15s ; and of low dark Seal Oil several parcels were taken at 27/ lOs to 25! per tun. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-110USE. Three gentlemen having waited upon the Lord Mayor in the Justice-room, while his Lordship was engaged ins transacting the public business. and requested his attention in private, his Lordship requested that they would communicate with SI Peter Laurie, who was in another room, and who would readily give them advice. Soon afterwards Sir Peti•r Laurics entered the Justice-room, accompanied by the applicants, and stated that they had to complain of a very extraordinary species of swindling which he apprehended was becoming very general, and to meet which,* believed, exposure in the public papers to be indispensably necessary. It a•Teared from what had been. represented to him by two of the parties who happened to be executors to the will of an old lady deceased, that a person had gone to Doctor's commons; examined the will; took down the name and addresses of the executors ; drew a bill, and forged the name of the deceased to it, and sued the executors for the amount. Tha executors, knowing that the old lady at the very time the bill was alleged to be drawn was bedridden and paralytic, and wholly unable to sign any document, of course resisted the payment, and a case which appeared in the newspapers, in which a similar attempt to impose was made, completely owned their eyes, and confirmed them in their determination not to be victims to the miscreants who planned such a nefarious scheme of robbery. After a lengthened statement from the applicants respecting the mode in which the forgery had been committed, and re marks from the Lord Mayor sod Sir Peter Laurie on the danger to the public from such practices, his Lordship said he would take care that the nefat ious transactio.: should be inquired into. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Pcasmourn, MoNnAr.—Prepirations are being made throughout the district for the reception of a large military Force of several thousand men. Ord ers h ave b een i ssue d for the barracks of this garrison to be got ready fur the occup;ti; of as many men as they can conveniently contain. Similar instructions have been - forwarded to the barrack-masters at Chichester, Winchester, the Isle of Wight, &c. The regiments about to be quartered here are those destined for foreign ser-, vice, 'so re of which will embark as soon as the tra ns p or t s can be got ready to convey them to their destination.. The 10th Regiment, about to embark for India, will be hero in a Lev days, from Glasgow, which it leaves in steam-vessels for Liverpool, and comes on to London by the Birmingham Railway, and thence to Gosport by the South-Western line. Formerly it would have taken nearly a month for a regiment to march from Glasgew here; not the distance can be per formed in th;rty-eight hours. The depot of the 19th Regiment marches to-day for Brighton, to make room for the 10th. The 73d Regiment will leave in a fortnight for Woolwich, and will be saeceeded by the 16th, at present at Winchester. In addition to the 20th, 23d, 29th, 71st, 95th, and battalion Ritlea, which have been ordered to be augmmted to 1,200 strong, the fol lowing regiments now in, or ordered to India, are also to be augmented to the same number:—the 10th, 17th, 39th, 50th, 78th, and 86th. The head-quarters of seve:al of these regi ments will be in this district. The Albany Barracks, in the Isle of Wight, are intended as one of the depots for regiments in the East Indies, and it is anticipated that they will be occup'ed by between 2,000 and 3,000 troops in the course of the sum mer. The officers of Parkhurst prison, who have been men . - pying apartments, as also General -Eveleigh, Captain By grave, and others on the establishment, have orders to leave immediately. The barracks and the various offices are being put in suitable repair and order to receive the troops. The newly-raised St. Helena regiment, now lying at Winchester, will be removed into them as soon as they are ready for its re ception. The 16th Regiment at Winchester was reviewed on Wednesday by the Commander-in-Chief of the di s tri c t, M a j or - General Sir Hercules Pakenham, who expressed himself much pleasA at the excellent state of discipline which the regiment pourtrayed. The :32,1 and 34th Regiments will continue for soma time" longer in their present quarters at Portsmouth, and perform garrison duty. As the service companies of these regiments ha. , e but recently returned from Canada, it is not rntiripated that they will be immediately ordered for foreign service, sinless upon some extraordinary occasion. Both of those regiments are in a very effective state, and admirably disciplined. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. tilLOßE.—Lord Brougham's "Resolutions" touch all the pointS in Sir Robert Peel's plan of finance which demand discussion, before the country. can justly be called on to acquiesce in it, We have not hesitated to express our opinion that the principle or direct taxation is . not what, is objectionable in that plan; under existing circumstances. What is obje,c- tionable is, that the principle is not carried put with. fairness. "Itis my duty," said the Prime Min;ster,,' "tq make an earnest appeal to the possessors of pro- . perty."' It was his duty. It is a duty which, we think, has been too long postponed. Parties have been amusing. themselves (to borrow a simile from Hume's Essay's) with a match of cudgel-playing in a china-shop—with a struggle for power amidst failing finances. The ale ananas of the public service have been yearly in --j creasin,4 ' while no corresponding i ncrease h as b een obtained in' the means of meeting' them. The late Government proposed' to relieve' our finance by removing, " restrictions- on our commerce ; and we have na doubt that the end would 'have beef( attained with the aid of time. But a great pare of . our difficulties, though largely owing to anti-commercial laws, did. not admit of immediate removal by the relaxation of 'those laws. The short supplies of the first necess,..ries, which the impro vidence of monopoly brought on us; could not be converted to immediate abundance by an f' 4 . *Orange in the Corn-laws.

We hold. that the imposition of new burdens ought to have been accompanied by the coacessionOlboons which mace net been concerfed to commerce andindustry. We hold that in the imposition of those burdens there should have 'been exercised a discrimination which lies not been ex 'crei.ged between the various source.; of income; aiNthat their comparative value and prntanenee should have formed the measure of imposition.

Yesterday, as onr•readers are already aware, the first Sunday trains commenced running on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ; and we are happy to state that everything went off in the most quiet and orderly man ner. So far as Glasgow is concerned. we are enabled to state that . not one of its inhabitants, hitt for the previous annottwement inade in the advertisements (4 . ; the Company, would have. known that such a thing as a railway train had been put in motion ; the streets were as quiet and decorous ns on former Sa'abaths, and even in the neighbenehood of the terminus scarcely any di&rence could be observable. In the afternoon and evening, it is true, a number of people, actuated•by feelings of curiosity, assembled to witness the departure and arrival of the trains both here and at Cowlairs ; but in a few moments. their curiosity was gratified, and they dispersed without the slightest breach of decency or decorum being exhibited, The number of passengers who passed. along the line, going and coining, was 878. In the morning train from Ghtsgoiv there were nine carriages,. there of each claSs, Carrying 259 passengers, the greater portion of whom were.for Bishopbriggs; Kirkintilloch, and the stations in the west. The morning train from Edinburgh, on its arrival in Glasgow, had 197 passengers. The evening train from Glasgow had 143 passengers, and the evening train from Edinburgh . 279.

EW LITERARY SOCIETY.—Steps are being taken for the-formation of a new association, to forward whose views it is understood that every ficility will be given by Government for the publication of collections from the public records. It will be estahlidied on the basis of the Camden, Percy, Parker, and other societies, its object being to collect historical evidence from these important and extensive national records, which are to be rioted in a classified form. Thcse matters of inquiry will furnish ample records to a faithful history of this country, particularly in every event of moment or importance;. and -or course more authentic than can can be obtained from any other C NT-GRI/EN THEATR li E. opera A of the Mar r i age o f Fi garo was presented, fortle z?‘r' first ltjE time at this theatre, last - night,- and the cast of characters, with Miss Adelaide Kemble as the donna, in Susanna, from the promise it' held forth, drew a full house at the opening. The prototype of Le Nozzo on the Italian stage has long ago explained the plot it involves—if any plot, indeed, exist—seeing that the whole piece is resolvable into the simple fact, of a species of volatile infideEty on the part of a certain Count and Countess, whose warm over-extibe ranee of feeling, natural to the sun-glowing South, find ing no reciprocity between themselves, fastens, with a sort of contraband fondness, upon the first and fairest whom either meets with. Hence originate the jocose intricacies of the piece ; the jealousies, alarms ' and mutual per - turbat ons which by turns seize e ac h of the characters, giving finish to the acting, and alternating passion or gaiety generarroguerv, however, of tho se amo u rs thesimplicity of affection existing between Fi t is o relieved the by The garo ( Mr. Leffler) and Susanna (Miss Adelaide Keaible), the former of whom realises one of the handsomest specimens of the Leporello order on the stage. Miss Kemble had to grapple with the difficulties of a new department last night ; her tones and carriage in the higher range of operatic tragedy have, been tested and written down approved. Comedy was a trial of her powers in a new shape, and the versatility of her voice and talent carried her equally well through its requirements. Very lovely, indeed, was her manner of singing the canzone in the sec ,nd scene, which described, like the celebrated Sapphic, the varying raptures and pains of love : this was encored, as was also an exquisite little duo be. tween herself and the Countess ( Miss Rainforth), apper taining to the inditing of a letter, the arch conclusion of which, contained in the words, " The rest, no doubt, he'll comprehend," formed, by the sweetness of the two voices in union, a brilliant morsel. Miss Kemble's execution of the air in the third scene, " 0 come, no more delay," was her most charming and effective passage, and the depth of luxury breathed by her in the invitation to come, where, the night-flower waking From out her fragrant breast perfume is shaking, as well as the delicious rests made by her upon the hat words of Haste thee, my darling, white the world reposes, 0 come! and I will crown thy forehead fair with rose's ! called down encore, and a redoubled peal of applause. Madame VeAria, as the beauty-page Cherubino, was rife with fascina tion, and Leffler inimitable in his little guitar pas• , age. Their duet, where he taunts the page upon his becoming a soldier, to the curtailment of his tresses and danlyisms, was smartly touched off, and the sudden assumption of a military step and air by Che • ;lbino was truly heroic—there was a sunny richness upon the fea tures of both thrutighout the piece. Miss ltainforth's execution of the aria," Fled fir ever," was classically and beautifully chaste : her tremulous stresses were of true sweetness. At the fall of the curtain Miss Kemble, in answer to the call of the audience, appeared, with Madame Vest ris, and on a bouquet being thrown, amid the applause, at her feet, by a graceful impulse she divided its honours with the latter; afterwards Mr Leffler, with Miss Rainforth and Mr Stretton, appeared in answer to the same honour. . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, March 15. The LORD CHANCEiLLOR took his seat on the Woo] sack at Five o'Clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR, 'in moving that the Repoit respecting Presbyterian Marriages in Ireland, which he' had laid the table of the House - last tight, be printed, said that, With reference to .that Report, he Would just mention that he had this morning received some resolution's agreed to by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and held in Belfast, which had been communi cated to him by the Moderator. Referring to the case at Carrickfergus, one resolution was to the effect that under the unhappy circumstances of this case they (the Assembly) were anxious that Parliament should abstain from legislation on this subject until an appeal had been made to the House of Lords, which would determine what marriages were allowed b) law. Another resolution stated that since passing the foregoing resolutions they had heard with great satisfaction that a committee of that House had been appointed to take into consideration the laW re lating to marriages in Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM said that this was the Assembly to which he had referred on several occasions in alluding to the subject of Presbyterian marriages. Several messages came up from the House of Com mons, bringing up the West India (Bishops) Bill, Mit ford's Divorce Bill, the London and Greenwich Railway Act Amendment Bill, and other measures. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1842 deny to the Noble and Learned Lord the possession of great talents . ' - few Will be so unjust as to refuse him the praisp of a kind and patriotic disposition ; -but it would be the extreme of rashness and injustice too, to as cribe to him the smallest imaginable amount ofpolitical wisdom. Lord Brougham's active life has been em ployed, in solving the. problem, how many blunders ; and how much mischief also may be produced by the exercise of great powers, though directed by a generous and honest heart, if not governed by modesty and common sense. We need but name the early doc trines. of the ,Edinburgh Review—the Malthusian philosophy of which his Lordship was the first patron and promulgator—the new political economy Which has resulted in so much misery and loss—the premature abolition -of the income-tax in 1816, from which our finances hue never yet recovered—lthe political d,)Litrine •of the7Coble Lord in 1819, • now matured into Chartism—the - attempt at exciting . an insur rection. in favour of Queen Caroline, an attempt boastfully avowed—the New Poor-taw; these make Lord BroUgham's trophy—let any .one say - what share wisdom had in rearing it. The,New Poor-law crowns the edifice ; and, :as we may see, the the principle of -- the -New - Poor-law is preserved in - the resolutions before us. Let us, however, look to some of these resolutions. :. We begin with - the first anti most im portant : ." • .:. . . " I. That a direc - :, tax upon income ought never to be resorted to, Illl'el3 in some• great emergency of public affairs when an extraordinary expenditure may be co m e unavoidable f)r a time, or in some pressure upon the finances of the country which can be sustained by no other means." - So far this ,is a simple dogma : no attempt is mf2de to prove the proposition that a direct tax upon income ought never to be resorted to, except in some extraor dinary emergency; but granting, the proposition proved, which, except for argument sake, w:?, should be very unwilling to do,.we meet Lord Broughain by telling him that a case.of extraordinary emergency has arrived. Is it not a case of extraordinary emergency, when the revenue of the British empire has failed to meet its ekpendi'mre—when the ordinary sources of revenue have been found • incapable of in- crease—when the attempt to effect a social revolution for financial purposes has been gravely resorted to by the Ministers of the Crown, as their sole refuge.from bankruptcy—is not this a caSe:Of emergency ? We concede to Lord Brougham that the emergency is not . the effect of national. poverty ; Heaven forbid that it were. We know that - Great Britain was never so ric as at this moment. SHIPWRECK ThnJasper„of St. Andrews, Greig, bound from Leith to Liverpool, with _gunpowder, herrings, &c., drove from' her anchors in Leith Roads, ' during a heavy gale from.the IV.S.W. on Friday afternoon, and was run ashore at half-past six P.M., a short dis tance east from Cockenzie Harbour. It being then nearly low water, she took the ground about 150 yards from the rocks. To save the vessel was impossible ; the only consideration was . how to rescue the crew from almost inevitable destruction. At first even the stout-hearted fishermen considered any attempt to board the ship en tirely out of the question. In a short time, however, Alexander Ross offered the use of his boat (on being assured that any damage done to it would be made good) ; and he, John Thomson, and eight other men, gal lantly volunteered to endeavour to save the people on board. The boat was soon atthe water's edge ; but here the risk and danger commenced. For above an hour and a half the united strength of between 40 and 50 men could not launch the boat through the surf; at last she was got afloat, 'amidst the cheers of a large multitude, and in a few minutes was along side of the Jasper. The crew, consisting of Captain Greig, Thomas Lamb, mate, George Wemyss, and Robert Stenton, seamen, leaped into the boat; also the Captain's wife and son ; their youngest child, about thirteen months old, was thrown from the deck into the arias of a fisherman, and the anxious mother was not aware of its preservation until she reached the, shore. All were landed safely. A dog left on board was drowned. When the tide flowed, the vessel drifted upon the rocks, and went to pieces during the night. At daylight on 3aturday morning, the beach on both sides of Portseton was strewed with the wreck and cargo. A. great many barrels of gunpowder have been saved, and placed above high water mark, like wise some barrels of herrings ; a few of the latter were plundered. A cask of wine, on reaching the shore, was stove la, and the contents carried off in cans, &c. Some loose powder was exploded by the recklessness of a fisherman smoking his pipe near it. A great part of the, rigging, sails, and spars have been saved, Before leaving Leith Roads the Jasper had a signal of distress flying, but no assistance came. —Edinburgh Evening Courant DISTRESSING ACCIDEN T.—FOUR LIVES LOST.— We feel deep regret at having this week to record an accident which has been attended with loss of life to . the steward and three_ of the seamen belonging to her Majesty's revenue cutter, Mer maid, Captain Rymer, R.N., Commander. The vessel lay at the North Queensferry, and on Tues day last, about noon, a six-oared boat, with th e same number of men, besides the steward, was sent ashore to bring coals aboard.

Their names were— Abraham Mar shall, 'the steward, a person, we understand, much esteemed by his commander, as well as by all who knew him, a native of,Berwick, and married, but without a family, aged 32. The other three were young men about the age of 19 or 20, and did not belong to Berwick. They were named respectively, Thomas Hinckley, Casson, and Alfred Stokes. —Berwick Warder. DREADFUL HURRICANE AT SOUTHEND. On Wednesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, Southend was visited by a most tremendous storm of wind and rain, the severity of which has not been equalled fur many years, and its effectS have been Most melancholy , and disastrous. The wind blew a perfect hurricane from the south-east, and the rain fell in torrents. • Windows were blown in, and slates, tiles, were hurled in all. direetions. Many persons were afraid to retire to rest, and others who had done so were greatly alarmed, as the house's literally shook (such was the force of the wind), and they were per ceptibly rocked in their beds. About half-past twelve o'clock the tempest began to subside, and day-break presented to the view the wreck of no fewer th an s i x boats which had been dri ven from their anchors, all of which had sustained serious damage, and many were completely destroyed, being by the violence of the wind •drixen against the wharfs and piles of the pier, until they . were not only complete wrecks, but had the appear ance of being chopped up for tire-wood ; suc h destruc tion among the boats here was never before witnessed, and the most distressing circumstance is, they were mostly the property of poor hard-working men, who have no other means of sub6istence. • The 'Rhoda, of Newcastle, was •driven from her an chors on .Shoebury Beach, but got without much damage. The Ocean Child and Wave, from hence, being on the look out on Thursday morning, perceived a large ship on - shore on the Maplin SaUds ; they went to her assistance, when she proved to be the St. Lawrence, bound to Malta,•with -Government stores. She had lost all her L anchors, and sprung a leak, having then two feet of water in her hold, which afterwards considerably in creased. She was taken into Whitstable, and being p2r• Bally repaired, the next day proceeded to London, with the crews of the boats, who were compelled incessantly to Work at the pumps. We believe she arrived in safety: THE CORN LAWS. The Earl of RADNOR presented petitions from Stock port, St. Mawe's, and other places, for a repeal 'of the Corn-laws ; he also stated his dislike of the Bill before the other House. PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a num ber of petitions from Belfast, and 'several places in the counties of Down, Antrim, and Londonderry, in favonr of the settlement of the mixed „marriages question. CORN-LAWS. Earl FlTZWlLLl — AiiPresented a great number of petitions for the total repeal, or material alteration 01 the Corn-laws, from Arbroath, Montrose, Kirealdy, Leith, Kilmarnock, Castle Douglas, Forfar, Edinburgh, Annan, Lanark, Graham's Town, and various other places. POOR-LAWS.

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from a place in Scotland in favour of Non-intrusion, and praying a repeal of the Act passed in the reign of; Queen Anne, relative to the Scotch Church (as 'W . ; understood). The petitioners had requested him (Lord Campbell) to support the prayer_of the petition ; but it was his duty to say he could by no means do so. Lord .B OUG FLA M presented a. petition from St. Clement Danes, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. INCOME ?I'AK r .

The Great North of England Railway Bill was read a second time. __ BIDDULPII presented a petition from the Dean and Chapter of Durham against the Great North of 'ngland Railway Bill. MARYLEBONE VESTRY BILL. Mr. GORE presented a petition from the district of St. Mary, in the parish of Marylebone,.praying that the Home would pass this Bill. • NATIONAL F4OATING BREAKWATER. On the Order of the Day for • the second reading of This Bill being read, - Captain FITZROY said he wished to draw the atten tion of the House to the subject of the Floating Break water, that they might inquire into its probable defects. He • wished, to draw their attention to this subject, because he believed that wood would not float in the sea for more than two or three years, unless protected by some metallic substance. It would also be.subject to the acti on o f worms . An other objection to the principle was, that the chains by which the breakwater were to - be Moored were soon cor-• roded by rust, and' rendered uSelesS. In proof of that, he need.only mention that the buoys now placed on the coast by. the Trinity House were obliged to be examined every six months, and the chains and rings by which they were fastened never lasted more than six or seven years at the utmost. It was for this reason that he felt it his duty -to call the attention of the House to the subject. , _ 'the Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. • P.ARISII OF ST. MARYLEBONE. Mr. MACIiINNON, having moved the Order of the Day for the second roading of the St. 3.larylebone Pa rish (Paving, &c.) Bill, .presented a petition, signed by 600 ratepayers of the parish, in its &your. Sir B. HALL pre - sented several petitions, among which was one signed by Lord Nugent, against the Bill. Mr. MACKINNON said that it was not his intention .o raise any discussion on the Bill at present. He would only observe that, in moving the second reading of the Bill, he was influenced by the fact that two points had been abandoned respecting it which, gave general satis faction :—one - related to the committing of a job by the vestries, respecting the, salary of the Treasurer ; the other referred to the qualificatii n of vo'ers. Under those circumstances he woul l make no further opposition to the Bill. Sir B. 11 ALL was greatly surprise 1. that th-3 Hon. Gentleman should have brought forward a Bill of so im portant a description as his was, without statist;; some reasons fi r so doing. It was a Bill, in fact , fin• the re peal of all the l o c a l Acts referring to that parish. He would cal: the attention of the House to the petition presented by the Hon. Gentleman in favour of the Bill. No per. on could 131 more desirous than he (Sir 13. Hall) was to pay the greatest attention to the petitions presented to that House, but he felt himself bound tu.say that the petition to which he referred on the present occasion was got up under gross fraud and falSe statements. He had received several letters which h would read to the House to show that such was the ease. The Hon. Member then proceeded to read extra6ts from l e tt ers a dd resse d to -h i m b y several individuuts, stating that th e y h a d b een induced to sign the petition by nusrepf esenta ti ons o f it s purport, it having beenstated to th em that - its object was to obta in a reduction, or an equalization of .the rates ; they would not have .signed i t had they been aware tat its object was to do away with the local acts. One writer stated that ha he known its true character be would not have given his sanction to so infamous a Bill. These letters the Hon. Member ofThred to place in the hands of his Hon. Friend,. and he apprehended, after what he had stated, that little credit should attach to the si g natures to th e petition.—(Hear.) Before his Hon. Friend brought in a Bill o f t hi s descr i pt i on he should have stated the ground s on n hi c h i t was proposed. As f ar as h e could und erstan d the B i ll, i t t e nded both to affect the local Acts, and---(The. Hon. Member' was here inter rupted by in g the Sp ea k er to 'hear the Royal assent given by com a message from .the House of Lords, summon_ missionto certain Bills.) • • ROYAL ASSENT. The, PEAKER, on his return, communicated to the House that h e hid b een to :t he House of Lo r d s to hear the Royal assent_ given by Commission to the V an Dieman's L an d an d Due hy of C ornwa l l Bills, ELECTION PETITIONS (GREAT MARLOW).

HALL, wh6 was almost inaudible in the gallery, in consequence of the noise which prevailed in the House, continued by saying that he objected to tlles clause in the Bill which made the rates payable in advan se. He understood that by the Bill the Vestry was to be compelled to levy a rate for the entire year on the Ist of January, awl to that he objected. He also objected to the Bill because there was no provision made for the relief of the poor. The Hon. Baronet-proceeded to complain that the - sense of the parish had not been fairlYstakeiOn reference to the present Bill. He believed that a large majority of them were opposed to the Bill; and as he saw no justifiable reason for its introduction, he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. The amendment having been put, Mr. MACKINNON rose to support the original mo tion. He would put it to the House whether tha time had not come for introducing some such change as- that contemplated by the Bill. The Hon. Baronet had ex pressed his satisfaction with the late and the present Vestry of Marylebone ; but was the Honourable Baronet aware that the late Vestry had .been obliged to borrow a large sum ? and that the present vestry had contracted a debt of 20,000/. Tha; vestry was now paying an interest upon the sum they had borrowed of 1,2001. per annum. One of their body had been prosecuted for a libel, and the expenses of the decently were , not paid out of that indi vidual's pocket, but the parish was made liable by die vestry for the entire sum. Now nothing, in his opinion, could be more monstrous than such a mode of proceeding. The object of the Bill was to place the mode of election by ballot in. the vestry on the same footing as the election ut' members of corporations. The object -of the Bill was,. to adopt- the principle -of the Reform Bill, and he was satisfied that his Hon. and Gallant Friend vas himself aware that would •be its effect The opposition which had been offered to the Bill was 2ntirely of a political character, as its framers only con .ended for the principle adopted by the Reform Bill, sf voting in a compound ratio. s ---(1-1ear, hear, hear.) Mr. WAKLEY rose amidst cries of " Divide," which rendered his opening observations inaudible. The Hon, lentleman who had just sat dOwn expressed his asto aishment that the Honourable Member for Marylebone .vas not supplied with a great number of arguments igainst the Bill. He (Mr. Wakley) marvelled at his modesty ; he asked the House to allow the second read ing of the Bill, without stating one reason why the Bill should be carried. Besides, this was the cast-off Bill if another Hon. Member, the Member for Middlesex, who, - with an honourable feeling, had abandoned the measure.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Hon. Gen tleman opposite had taken it up, and he (Mr Wakley) hoped it might prove a source of torment to him before he had done with it. He hoped the House would -xpress some sentiment on the question at issue between the petitioners to this Bill. and theVestry.—(Hear, hear.) The petitioners to the Bill had met, in private; they had not dared to call one public meeting. The Vestry was a popular one elected by-ballot ; every rate -payer had a right to vote, but a qualification for vestrymen was tic essary ; and so it was; that out of 120 vestrymen 60 were noblemen or gentlemen of liberal professions ; yet the . vestry did not work well.—s(Hear, hear.) Was the Honourable Gentleman opposite aware that the vestry to which he belonged bequeathed a • debt of 120,000/ to the present .vestry, who had reduced that debt to 53,0001., and had reduced the rates from 4s. 4d. to 3s. in the .1/—(Hear, hear.) The fact ivas;dibtir , ; ever, the vestry had committed two unpardonable offences in the eyes of the supporters of the Bill—they.-had attended to the wants of the poor, and had obeyed the law. Those were the grave and unpardonable offences they had committed. If the House permitted the second reading of this Bill without one word being addressed in favour of it, they ought to be despised and detested by the peOple. This case really did demand the atten tion of Parliament, and he (Mr. Wakley) implored Hon. Gentlemen opposite, before they gave their votes, to re flect well on what they were doing. They called.them selves Conservatives, and he (Mr. Wakley) could not object to the term at all, because he' was as anxious as they were that everything should be preserved that was good, at the same time that everything should be destroyed which was bad,— (Hear, hear.) But what kind of conservatism was the support given to this Bill? Hon. Gentlemen opposite conformed to the Reform Bill, .and the Reform Bill gave. two Members to Marylebone— the Gallant Commodore and another Hon. Gentle man. There I was a furious contest at. the election for the Borough, and those two Hon. Gentlemen were returned to that House. Did either of those two. Hons Gentlemen. support that Bill ? No. The parish was re presented in that House, but both the representatives were hostile to the Bill, and yet the Hon. Gentleman expected his supporters to vote for it. That was not the way to support the Reform Bill, and if that were the nature of the support they could all calculate what would be its fate, if they had the opportunity of destroying it. This case ought to impress upon Members of the House the necessity of looking at private Bills. The present Bill proceeded from a reckless band of parochial job bers. The old defective and incompetent Vestry, who wished to get a reinstatement into power, and to defeat the authorities of the parish who had violated no law— had obeyed every legal enactment, and had managed the affairs of • the parish in a frugal. and prudeait manner. But, says the Honourable Gentleman, have they not been exposed in - the newspapers -have not condemnatory paragraphs appeared against them ? Yes, they have, and he hoped that the Hon. Gentleman did not know the- author of them.-- (Laughter.) There were Honourable Gentlemen oppo site connected with literature, and they must know how easy it was to get inflammatory paragraphs into newspapers. There was no difficulty in that. But where were the facts—were there any facts ? He tells you that the mode of election ought be changed, and he complained that there were five places fixed where parties could poll, while the law only gavethe power to appoint four inspectors—in fact, that there was one limb of the system incomplete. What was the -Hon. Gentleman's demands ? Why, to cut off the other four. —(Laughter.) That was bad surgery—(Laughter)-- and he could tell him that, as a professional man. He trusted the House would reflect on what they were asked to do iu this case, and unhesitatingly reject the. present Bill. He was in the parish of Maryle bone almost every day, and was in the habit of meeting hundreds of the rate-payers, and he.could declare posi tively that he had not found a single individual who supported the Bill, or-believed that there was the slightest necessity for the introduction or adoption of that measure. Had not the lion. Gentleman some misgivings as to the motives of those who prompted him to introduce the Bill ? I There had only been one small Skirmish, and yet he says there are two parts of the Bill which he consents to give Up. One of these was a nice little job for giving a treasurer 1,0001., in order to provide for some cousin or relation, or some. noodle who could not get his living .by his own ability:; the other was the qualification, and the present Bill pro posed that till qualification should be raised from 40/. to 60/., and no person could act as a guardian of the poor who had not 601. a year. He hoped and trusted that •the Hon. Gentleman, and those who .prompted. him to bring in this most flagitious and flagrant Bill would be defeated, and that it would be rejected by the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Mr. HARDY said that the Hon. Gentleman bad 'stated that no persons in Marylebone were to be found favourable to the Bill, but he (Mr. Hardy) met with several who supported it ; and the only. question now was as to the details. A Bill had been passed forty• seven years ago on the subject; • and certain other acts hall been passed to explain that Bill. 'Then came the act called Hobhouse's Bill, and then the Police Act, and then Mr. TaylOr's Act, all of which affected the provisions of the original Bill ; and, in con sequence, 48 clauses of it. had been rendered useless. lie was himself a recent ratepayer, and he could find nothing, definite .on the subject,: , unless he went through_ the va rious Bills. With respect to Hobbouse's Bill, it required eight inspectors, and appointed five polling places.— (Cries of " Four, four.") The next thing was that the auditors of the parish were in alms-houses, and he asked if that did not require alteration. With respect to the vestry the inhabitants .of Marylebore had been obliged . .to file a hill against it, and ttr.ry suc ceeded.—(Cries of " Divide, divide.") Sir C. NAPIER said that the old vestry had left a debt on the 'parish of 166,000/., and that the present vestry reduced it by 53,0001. On what just grounds then, he wanted to knows - should they seek to turn out the Vestry which had effetted so much good.—(Criei of " divi le.") good hebelie'ved it would create a great deal of miFehief. It appeared to him to he a mere caricature of legislatiol, and.he .hoped the House . .would not consent to the sewn reading of such a Bill. The Howie then divided For the motion . ...

BORTHWICK gave notice that early after Easter, lie would call the attention of the. House to the state of the metropolitan roads, with a view to the better lighting of the same by th e res p ect i ve parishes thrOugh which they passed. PUBLICAN'S LICENSES. Captain ItOUS gave notice -of his intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the transfer of Publican's Licenses. INTERMENTS IN TOWNS. Mr. MACKINNON moved the appointment of the Select Committee to improve the Health of Ton us by preventing Interments within their precincts -- Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. I)'Eyncourt, Lord AOiley, Colonel Fox, Mr. Thomas Duncombe, Mr. Evelyn Denison, Sir William Clay, Sir Rolurt Harry Inglis, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Beckett, Viscount Mahon, Mr. Cowper, Colonel Acton, Mr. ICemble, and Mr. Vernon.. WAKLEY said, that as the Committee bad been directed. to pay due regard to the right: - .4 of the clergy,, he hoped they would also pay a proper regard to the rights of parish clerks and sextons. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. I,,tAllEg.saidthat there were t wo or t h ree pa rishes in the borough which he had the honour to repre sent, which felt deeply interest e d i n t h e M easure ; and he trusted he would - therefore be alloWed - to say a few words upon the subject. He:would first state his doubt • as to the accuracy of some of the statements made by the lion. Member for Lymington (Mr. Mackinnon).. He un f ers tood that the facts mentioned by the Hon. Member were not facts at all, but were mere stab meats taken from an article in the .21forniiig .Post.—(ll. : , r, hear.) He trusted that the House would not be led away by accusations of that kind. They were now called upon to repeal an Act, under .which the parish of Alarylebone had been well governed; and a large part of its debts paid off and they were asked to pass the present Bill, which was: called a private Bill, but which in reality•materially affected public interests and great principles. The under their consideration contained 275 clauses, 'anti it was impossible that - the House could now be prepared for enteringinto a full con sideration of their merit.:.

Mr. Alderman COPELOAND asked if the Secretary of State for the Home Department had received any Re port from the Commission appointed in 1840, to investi gate the working of the Anatomy Bill, and if he would lay any such Report before the House? Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the Government had not as yet received any Report from that Cora 'mission. THE TARIFF. •-• LEMON wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to reduce the duty on foreign tin ? and what it was intended to do in relation to the duty on copper ore? if the 5 per cent. intended to be ha. posed, was to be levied on the value of the copper ore, or whether it was intended to be levied on the value of the metallic copper which might be smelted from the ore? Mr. GLADSTONE said that it was the intention of the Govi niment to alter the present duty on tin, so as to reduce it to 10/. a ton. A higher duty had, been pro posed for tin than for other other Metals, on account of the dues payable on tin to the Duchy of Cornwall. With respect to the sQcond question, he had to observe • that it was the intention of the Go vernment to do away with the system of smelting copper in bond, and th ere f ore t h e d uty of 5 per cent. ad valorem would be levied on the ore. With regard to the third question, it was a matter for consideration; but the pre, sent intention of the Government was to levy the 5 per cent. .ad valorem duty on the market value of the ore, and not on the market value of the copper, which might be extracted from it by smelting. While on this sub ject, he would take the opportunity of correcting one or two errors of the press, which had crept into the copy of the tariff, which had been laid on the table. The first error was in the fourth schedule, relating to seeds. It was intended to . continue the duty on linseed, on rape seed, on hemp seed, and on flax seed, of Is. per quarter -on the whole. There was another error of a trifling nature in reference to gypsum and plaster of Paris. It was intended to continue the duty on these articles, whereas the tariff had been printed as if it were intended to admit these arti cles duty free.
