A Poor Law for Ireland ! is a cry every day becoming louder, and which must, if it continue, resolve the hesitation and doubts of the Govern- ment into certainty. Indeed, it is known tha the Ministry is divided upon the point, that some are for and some against the adoption of poor laws for Ireland. To the opponents of all plans having that object in view, we beg to re commend a pamphlet just published by Mr. POULETT SCROPE. We cannot agree with him in his argument, in favour of the right of all the people who may be born in a country to be insured an impossibility, viz., a sufficiency of food in return for their labour. Mr. SCROPE has, upon the subject of poor laws, taken up an idea which runs imay with his judgment, as was the case in his plan for the establishment of a National Bank, and advocates it with a warmth and eloquence which, being on the side of humanity (looked at, however, in a confined point of view), does credit to his heart. If the island which CHRISTIAN and his comrades, divided between them, will grow food enough to support two hundred people, and no more, in ease and comfort, it is clear that if more than two hundred souls are born upon it, some must be deficient in food. The establishment of a poor law among them can only have the effect of taking from those who have been saving and provident, to give to others who have not exercised those qualities ; and if en forced as far it will go, must end in the destruction of all prudence and economy. If it should happen, however, that a small corner of the island would, by a little assistance, give the first surplus population the means of living, all ought willingly to join in giving the requisite help. This is, perhaps, the situation of Ireland at the present moment. It is clear that a time must come when no contrivance can feed more than a certain number of people in it. To inculcate the doctrine, therefore, that a man has a right to the fulfilment of an impossibility, is doing that which, am ongst an ignorant people, may produce mischief, but which, among an en lightened people, can only meet with ridicule. With ridicule we doubt not Mr. SCROPE will live to treat his present fancy, and will acknow ledge that we went as far as we could when we advocated the adoption of temporary poor laws in Ireland. The arguments he urges in favour of the adoption of poor laws permanently, are much the same as those we have urged in favour of their temporary adoption. He says, Why is it that population bas increased so much faster in Ireland than England ? Because none are so reckless and improvident as those who have nothing to lose, and cannot by any imprudence he worse off than they are.- The destitute Irish, living from hand to mouth. both sexes crowded together in close cabins, in absolute idleness, and without hope of lettering their condition by any exertion—marry at the earliest age, reckless of the con. sequences, and impatient for the only pleasure within their reach. Give them work, subsistence,and the prospect of rising in the world by prudence and industry, and you will make them prudent and industrious; as the English pea santry were, before a late perversion of the poor-law hart metamorphosed it from a check into a premium upon imprudence—from an instrument for raising the condi tion of the labouring class into one for depressing their condition." The reason that renders the interposition of law necessary, and the results it would produce Are thus briefly stated : " Irish landlords at present will not—do not (except in a few individual cases) spontaneously expend any portion of their rental in the improvement of their estates, and the employment of the destitute poor upon them. Let then the Legislature authorize the Government to levy tax on the rental of Ireland (in the shape of a poor rate) to be applied to these objects, and the spell is at once broken. The now idle and turbulent pauper will become an indus trious, orderly, and contented labourer—the resources of the country will be put in a fair way of developing them selves, and the landowner himself, at whose expense the process would seem at first to b. commenced, will reap by far the greatest ultimate benefit from the change." And afterwards the author says— " It will be found, that the muscle', and sinews, and moral qualities of its vast population, are the stores in which the future treasures of that ill understood country have been locked up, unknown and useless, and that to these stores the poor-law was the only, as well as the sim ple and natural, key. This provision, when it is once set in motion, so far from proving the dreaded burden which is anticipated, will be a source of incalculable and otherwise unattainable wealth. Nor is it probable that compulsion will lung be required to induce the employment of any individual. When once 'he country has been pacified, and the stream of capital has begun to flow into it from England—when once the great natural resources of Ireland are opened up, they will -nontaneously absorb the whole supply of labour; and the Irish peasant will no longer apply to his parish vestry for the work, which will be on all sides courting h;: ac ceptance." Mr. Scrope, towards the close of his pamphlet, sketches out a plan of the machinery by which he would have a poor law worked in Ireland, which is well worthy of the attention of those interested in the subject, but which it would exceed our limits even to describe. We must observe, however, that we fear the law or rules of settlement he wishes to introduce would carry with them many of the abuses now complained of in England. We particularly allude to the plan of removals. There is no part of our system which occasions so much, which lays parishes open to greater frauds, and more encourages vagabondism and extravagance, than the assurance a pauper has that he will be conveyed home at the public expense. Let a pauper, if we must have poor laws, meet with employment wherever he may happen to be ; but let the public everywhere be the hardest taskmasters and worst paymasters, and not only will there be no inducement to apply to it, except in the last resort, but paupers will have no temptation to wander except at their own expense. The Irish Coercive Bill was recommitted last night, in the House of Commons, and the report afterwards received. The third reading is fixed for to-morrow, on the condition, as Lord ALTHORP observed, that if it be not then brought to a close, the House will sit on Satur day. Sir J. HonHousE afterwards brought forward the army estimates, when the first vote, after some little desultory di , cussion, was agreed to, but with the understanding that the discussion might be resumed and the sense of the House taken as to the amount of force to be granted. We understand that it is in contemplation to form a Liberal Club, to consist chiefly of the independent Members of both Houses of Par liament. It has been found that for want of proper organization many of the motions of Mr. HumE and other liberal Members of the House of Commons have been badly supported even by their own party. A club of the description aduded to would enable the Liberals to concen trate their strength, and to become a very for midable body. The French Papers contain much miscella neous intelligence, but none of particular mo ment. They confirm the news of the arrival of a corps of Egyptian troops at Smyrna.—At Madrid, the QUEEN, it appears, is adding triumph to triumph ; through her instrumen tality, Don CA RLOS and his family, to gether with the Princess of BEIRA. (Don MIGUEL'S sister) and Don SEBASTIAN, have been ordered to take their departure for Lisbon. The Journal des Debats contains an able exposi!. of Russian intrigue and Russian love of aggrandizement. We understand that M. DEDEL, the new Dutch Plenipotentiary, although a man of ex ceedingly smooth manners, is a wily diplomatist, fully equal to cope with M. de TALLEYRAND. The difference between the two is in the mode by which they attain the desired end. M. de TALLEYRAND is cold, cautious, and calculat ing. He neither threatens nor propitiates. M. DEDEL cajoles and Hatters, and produces by his manner an impression that he is anxious to con cede, whilst he is really predetermined against concession. The King of HOLLAND has chosen a very proper person for the purpose of delay, which appears now to be his sole object. It is a curious fact that Lord ALTHORP, who, when referring to a motion for inquiring into the distress of the country, denied the existence of that distress, except in particular instances, confessed to a deputation who had previously waited upon him that he had reduced his own rents 45 per cent. We would take the liberty of asking his Lordship whether it was not the distress of his tenants which induced him to make this reduction. It is not to be supposed that Lord A LTHORP, or any other nobleman, would make such a reduction as this if they did not know that the pressure of the times rendered it necessary. The tenants of Lord ALTHORP had probably suffered many privations before they intimated to his Lordship their inability to pay the rents which he had been accustomed to receive from them ; and it is astonishing that, with the knowledge of a dis tress operating so powerfully upon his own income, he should further deny its existence. It is not among the agriculturists alone that dis- tress is felt. The manufacturers complain loudly and with just cause, so do the wholesale and retail dealers. There are not, we are sure, two tradesmen in a thousand of this large me tropolis who would hesitate to declare on oath facts of a nature to show that Lord ALTHORP'S opinion of the state of the country is entirely unfounded. Notwithstanding the Reform that has taken place in the constitution of the Commons, the old habit of " giving tongue" on every, even the most frivolous, occasion, still flourishes in as high perfection as ever. Indeed, if any thing, the breed of talkers is on the increase. The cacoethes loquendi is spreading. The " gift of tongues" is no longer confined to the Newman street Chapel. St. Stephen's beats it hollow. A man might sooner get to the end of a Devonshire lane than to the end of a Parlia mentary oration. For the future, we shall head our Parliamentary report with the words " Much Ado about Nothing." This is a lamentable state of things, and, the worst of it is, we see no remedy for it. Reform, it is clear, cannot reach the evil. Discretion has no influence ; nothing short of some strict prohibitory duty on senatorial speechifying can be of the slightest avail. Why should not such talk be taxed as well as other things? There are taxes on knowledge out of the House, why should not there he taxes on ignorance within it ? An impost of this sort would be wonderfully productive to the Exchequer. And then how humane, how just ! The SPEAKER'S life would be lengthened at least a dozen years, and wisdom and folly would at once find their proper level. At present, Hon. Members drive a free trade in talk, and the consequence is, that no other trade or business is attended to. We are now fast approaching the third month of the session, and as yet, little or nothing has been done. 'We are still where we were (or nearly so) when his MAJESTY delivered his opening speech. All the great questions of the country are still at the starting-post. Ireland indeed is muzzled, and a padlock is being made to fit the mouth of O'CONNELL—but where is the Irish Church Reform Bill ? where is the English ditto ? how far have the Assessed Taxes progressed ? does any one know what has become of the " Taxes on Knowledge?" His Majesty's free pardon and a reward of a hundred pounds to any man who will come forward and declare all he knows or has heard about Ministers' intentions with re spect to the distress of the country. Alas ! the proclamation is useless. Even the bell-man himself would be sent round to make inquiry without avail. We are by no means the advocates of violent remedies, but when the " soothing system" has been practised without success, it is clear that, as a last resource, we must attempt the compulsory. Mr. CORBETT, we remember, proposed some years ago to put a stop to Mr. FITZGERALD'S loyal orations by the application of a sledge-hammer to that portion of his outer• Adam in which, by the laws of courtesy, intellect is held to reside. Now we cannot but think that the same experiment might be safely and satisfactorily attempted at St. Stephen's. The sledge-hammer is sadly wanted there. lii the hands of the SPEAKER, it might be wielded with the happiest effect. Rome was once saved by the cackling of a goose; England, more unfortunate, is being ruined by the cackling of many. Surely, then, as drowning men catch at straws, she can have no objection to catch at a sledge-hammer for salvation. We suggest this experiment by way of a delicate hint to the incorrigible. The daughter of the late Lord BYRON is to be presented at the next Drawing .room. The jewels have been ordered of an eminent jeweller at the West end of the town. Report in the fashionable circles speaks very highly of the accomplishments of this young lady, who resembles her t dented father in many of the finer qualities of his mind. I-I,r education has been attended to with the greatest solicitude by Lady BYRON. Court Journal. MARCH OF REFINEMENT.—A quaker lady was the other day told by her servant, a buxom wench of 20. that she was determined upon 'ravine her "sitiwation.' - - " For what reason wilt thou leave me ?" asked her :isto nished mistress.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.--Yesterday mornine, soon after seven o'clock, a most afflicting cir cumstance took place at the house of Dr. CONQUEST, in Finsbury-square, by which that respectable family was thrown into the deepest grief. Late on Tuesday even ing an old and faithful servant of the family came into the drawing.room and asked her master if he would permit her niece, a girl of about IS years of age, to sleep with the cook that night, as she was passing through London, and had a great objection to sleeping in a public-house. The Doctor consented, and the girl passed the night, in a room on the fourth story, with the cook. A little before six o'clock yesterday morning the cook got up, leaving her companion apparently asleep. however, it would appear that on the moment she (the cook) left the room she must have got out of bed and locked the door, and then, opening the window, precipitated herself out on the pavement in the square. Several persons who saw her fall ran home diately to her assistance and alarmed the family. The unfortunate girl was picked up, and carried with all speed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital (still alive), writhing under the most excruciating agony. Dr. CONQUEST attended the unhappy girl to the hospital, where, upon examina tion, it was found that her right arm and bladebone were most dreadfully fractured ; but, strange to say, although she fell from an altitude of above 60 feet, no other bones were broken. In the course of the day the unfortunate young creature underwent amputation of the arm, and the blade bone was taken from the socket. During the operation the unhappy sufferer was perfectly sensible, and she bore it with surprising fortitude. Tha cause which led to the despe rate attempt is as follows :—About a month since she lef; the family of Mr. Wiccu4s, of Higlibury-tetrace, with whom she lived as housemaid. Whilst there a young man, under pretence of marriage, seduced her, and she be came enciente. Her situation was discovered by her mistress, who, in the kindest but most earnest manne r, requested her to confess the name of her seducer, prowls ing to do all in her power to promote their marriage and future happiness. The misguided girl, however, denied most positively being in that condition, and the result 01 her obstinacy was her dismissal from her situation. About a fortnieht ago she went to her friends in Oxfordshire. and while there she received a 1.-tter from her seducer begging her to come to London, in order that he might make her reparation by an honoura'de marriage, ap pointing to meet her on Tuesday evening at the co.ich office. The poor girl on her arrival in London waited at the appointed place till a late hour, but ber lover did not, Iron . ' some cause or other, keep his appointment. The poor girl in a distracted state proceeded to her aunt, at the residence of Dr. CONQUEST, imploring her to allow her to pass the night with some of the servants, expressing her det-rmination to go home to her friends directly. Nothing particular was noticed in her manner to induce a ny suspicion that she intended herself any violence; but she seemed cheerful when she retired to bed. On inquiry at the hospital last night, we were told that she could not survive till morning, Tilden, OF STOCKS THIS. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

LIMERICK, MAROR 2S. Yesterday, during the peaceful hours of divine set vice, an extraordinary sensation was created throughout this city. The garrison were drawn up on parade, previous to being marched off to the respective houses of worship, when an order suddenly arrived from the General com manding that the troops should proceed armed to the houses of worship, and also that an extra quantity of ammunition should be served out. The troops, accord ingly, to the amazement of the bystanders, broke off parade, and afterwards assembled fully accoutred. At the churches and chapels where any portion of the garrison attended, armed sentinels were placed at the doors, which, being quite unprecedented, was naturally calculated to alarm the seve ral congregations. The cause of these unusual measures is kept a secret, hut I believe them to he pursuant to direc tions received that morning from the Government. What ever may be the object of them, all sensible men of every party laughed at them, and the impolicy must be obvious of exciting, as such demonstrations naturally must, a po pulation that, however strongly they ma y , from their very distress, feel on political matters, continue free from all symptoms of insubordination. This d4y the clergy of this diocese met in the chapter room of the cathedral, to petition against the Mi nisterial measure of Church Reform. Any particulars of the pro ceedings I cannot communicate to you, as they were con ducted with closed doers. This is not very inconsistent, for our worthy parsons, on too many occasions, have shown a determination to break all connexion with public opinion. The poor laws are becoming daily more popular in this country. On to-morrow a meeting will be held here, .o petition Parliament for a legal provision for the aged, in firm, and helpless poor, in Ireland. The requisition fur the meeting has been most numerously signed, and by men who have never before agreed on any public question. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded witn motions to-day, chiefly on points of practice, none of then possessing any points of the least interest to the public. His Honour will take petitions to-morrow. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. &HIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 15.—The Sophia Pato, Mea dows, from Cardiff; the Swiftsure, Wild, from London ; and the Charlotte, Baylis, from Guernsey, were on shore in the Dardanelles, i❑ coming up (the Swiftsure arrived the 19th inst., and the others to-day) ; but it is not stated that either of them received any damage. ALDERNEY, MARCH 21.—A boat, marked" Wensum, of Yarmouth, Charles Burgess," was brought in here yesterday, picked up off Cape Lattogue. The same day, a French boat was seen towing towards the French coast, a brig's lower.mast, top-mast, and top-gallant-mast, with yards, sails, and rigging upon them. CALCUTTA, Noy. 23.—The Hindostan, Ridman, bound to London, has had the poop, bulwarks, &c. repaired, the fore and mizen masts are in, and the mainmast will be to-morrow ; she is taking in Company's sugars, and all the dead weight will be on board on the 30th. Nov. 2.6.—The London, Wimble, bound to London, has on board 300 tons, and is expected to sail on the 20th of Dec. FALMOUTH, Malice 26.—Arrived the Stanmer packet from Rio Janeiro—sailed, on the 29th of May, Emulous packet from Bermuda—sailed on the 10th ult., and from Halifax on the 26th ultimo. The Louisa, Bosse, from Pernambuco to Hamburg, and the Navarin, Hagut, from Dunkirk to Liverpool, which put in here with damage, and leaky, have been surveyed, and both condemned. His Ma. jesty's ship Emulous, on the 26th February, on the coast, N. S., there was and will be no doubt much field ice, and in lat. 43. 00. long. 49. 00. we were much surprised to fall in with a large quantity of pretty strongly packed field ice, co much so as to impede the ship's way from nine to two and two and a half knots, under fifth-reefed main topsail and reefed foresail. Again, on the 4th inst , we fell in with three large icebergs in a distance of about twenty-five miles At 9 P.M. the same night we were obliged to pass through between the two easternmost, and then to bring too for the night under fifth-reefed main topsail and storm fore trysail, after which time, by taking care not to make more northing, we saw no more of them. How necessary it will therefore be for the out and hemeward bound to keep a strict look out, more particularly those who take the northern course to North America. Relative to the Calypso, I know nothing after the 49th Jan., but I feel there may be too much cause to suppose it probable that that packet, as well as other vessels, have come in contact with the ice. The William Little, Carter, of Liverpool, was taken posses. sion of by the crew near the coast of California in February, and afterwards scuttled. The Dash, Stephenson, from Rio Janeiro was driven on shore at the Cape of Good Hope during a strong gale from the SE. on the of Jan., but expected to be got off with little damage. The Ocean Queen, Jameson, from the Mauritius put into the Cape of Good Hope on the :20th of Jan., with loss of fore. mast, &c., during a gale off Madagascar. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Brazil mail has arrived; sailed on the 28th January, from Rio Janeiro; and from Bahia the 21st December. Also a Halifax mail; sailed on the 26th February. By the former, Buenos Ayres papers to the 30th December, and a private letter to the 3d January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee.house. The letter states as fol lows :—" No political news to communicate; our republic en. joys a state of tranquillity ; trade is also reviving. Cattle are in abundance; but the wheat harvest has entirely failed. Se veral cargoes of wheat have arrived from Chili, which sold at a high price. Exchange upon England 7 % to 7 3-16ths paper dollars. In consequence of the shipping season being over, freights are not brisk to Europe." The Buenos Ayres papers arc not of importance; they con firm the private letter received at the Coffee-house, stating that domestic peace continues, and an evident improvement has taken place in trade. Halifax papers, to the 17th February, and Prince Edward's Island to the 6th February, have also been received at the above Coffee-house. (From the Halifax Papers.) The debates in our House of Assembly are not later than Saturday last, all travelling being impeded by the immense quantity of snow that has fallen during the last fortnight. By the French mail received this morning we have accounts from Barcelona,stating that disturbances had taken place at Rens, but were soon put down by the energy of the Governor-General Llander. Several Carlist agents are proceeding through the different provinces exciting the inhabitants to insurrection; one of them had been arrested, with a number of proclamations in his possession, signed " Don Carlos, King of Spain ;" he was conveyed to prison. From Berlin they write that an order has been given for the battalions of the line to be reduced two-thirds of their elfectis e force. From Bordeaux it is stated that on the 19th of March a Spanish courier passed through that town, who was the bearer of a decree dismissing three of the Spanish Ministers, to be replaced by General Morino, San Martin, and San Fernando, who are all in favour of the Queen. THE FUNDS. Owing to the French prices coming near one per cent. lower, and a report of a change going to take place in the French Ministry, the Funds opened heavily. Consols, which left off yesterday at 87% for the Account, were done at , and would have further declined, had it not been for the Dutch Funds coming higher per cent. This caused a change in the Market, and Consols were done at 87 14 at which price they are at present. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock has lowered, owing to its having declined in Paris. It now appears that the visit of the Egyptian troops to Smyrna was to obtain provisions for the army. Likewise we hear, that the Russian fleet at Constantinople has no soldiers on board, therefore a rupture in the East may still be prevented, The private letters from Rio Janeiro state that all was tran. quil there.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Z.INCASTER,MARCII 25 TAYLOR V. CUFF AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Taylor, who is the proprietor of the well-known paper called the Manchester Guardian, against the defendant, Cuff, and seven other persona, of the names of Livesay, Stopforth, Wolstencroft, Paget. Dean, Bradbury, and Snape, for damages for a libel inserted in another newspaper, called the Manchester and Salford Advertiser, of which the defendants were a managing committee of proprietors. In the course of the evidence, the plaintiff was put to considerable difficulty to make out the connexion of the defendants with the paper in question, which had been set on foot by the licensed victuallers, and to fi x the defendants, who were all publicans, as being a managing committee. This, 6 owever, was at length accomplished, and the libels were put in and read. They consisted of a number of passagesof an extremely vituperative kind,—such as " bare f.ced quacks," " unprincipled vaaab-nds," &c. &c. ; and one passage also imputed to the plaintiff having ob tained unfairly the sum of 280/. for removing to the op posite side of the street, where his business was carried on, to make way for some improvement, and that the trick being discovered, the plaintiff had agreed to refund 2001. of the money, but had been so busy ever since that he had not yet found time to repay it. Mr. WILLIAMS, in a speech of considerable merriment, treated the affair as one of those warlike contentions with paper arms, between editors, which were to be expe ted on all occasions from rivals, and especially when heated wilt all the warmth of political excitement, which at the period in question, had risen to so great a height. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff against all ;he defendants—Damages 450/. BRIBERY AND CLOSED DOORS. We have already adverted to the •ingular proceeding o f clusingithe doors of Election Committees against the public, As far as regards the dai'y publication of the evidence. This rule has been adopted in two cases, in both of which the public must he particularly interested—Lik er pool and Norwich, the object in each being to expose bri bery and corruption. 11 we are rightly informed as to the proceedings in the Liverpool Committee, tthe mode of inquiry may not turn out to be so satisfactory as the pubic has a right to expect. With respect to the Norwich Committee, we do not wish to prejudge the case, but we cannot ,refrain from observing, that some of its decisions are openly spoken of as not only at variance with the decisions of other Com mittees engaged in a similar inquiry, but as calculated to repress all hope of exposing that corruption which we ilasys supposed it was one of the main objects of the Reform Bill to extinguish. Take the following case as an instance of the difficulties to be contended with by electors in any attempt to prove corruption. The law is, that to affect the candidate, the bribery must be, proved to have been committed by him, or by those who acted with his authority:— A and B, two attorneys, are partners. A, one partner, wa shown to have been the attorney managing the prt ceedings at the election ; B, the other p teener, was proved to have canvassed with the candidates to have appeared to argue votes at the registration of votes ; he is traced to the committee-re om ; and, further, the clerks of the firm are employed ; and he is also shown, during the poll at the election, to have argued the case of disputed votes be tore the Sheriff, arid when asked for whom be appeared answered, on behalf of the successful candidates, and against whom bribery is sought to be proved ; and, fur ther he it remarked, that the candidates were proveil'to have been present cloilst be argued these votes, and one hf them actually ctuffrred with him. Now, on this case, the Committee, after repeated arguments, refused to hear any evidence of bribery by this person so acting, declaring it as their opinion that no prima facie case or agency was made out. This decision is itnpottint on many grounds; it is fit, in justice to others who m.y be on the eve of spending thousands (and no one embarks in a case of this sort with out spending thousands), to show how fruitle,s any attempt may be to expose bribery and corruption; and igain, if this determination be entirely consistent with the , aw as it now stands, the sooner the public are acquainted with what is the state of the law the better.— Times.
