F AIM 04 LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1545. The House of Lords met this evening at Five o'Clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON gave notice that he should on Tuesday move the adjournment of the House to the 3d of April. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to enable non freemen to carry on business in the city of London, which was read a first time. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD also brought in a Bill to amend the Law of Divorce. In answer to Lord Bnovonest, the Earl of DALHOUSIE said that the Railway Department of the Board of Trade had not come to a decision respecting the London and York Line until yesterday afternoon. That, therefore, it was impossible that the knowledge of that decision could have occasioned a ri.e in the price of shares of the competing lines at twelve o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM said he could not but say that the explanation of his Noble Friend, so far as it went, was satisfactory ; but he must, at the same time, assert that a judicature like that which was exercised by the Board of Trade over railway schemes, was one abhorrent to the Constitution, and odious to the whole country, and that should such accidents as these frequently occur, he should feel it his duty to bring a motion before the House for a considerrble modification of that Board. The Jewish Relief Bill passed through Committee. The Companies' Clauses Consolidation Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. The House of Commons met at Twelve o'clock, and immediately went into Committee on the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill. On the 71st clause being proposed, Mr. HATTER moved, as an amendment, the insertion of words restricting the power of Railway Companies to raise their tolls. After a short discussion a division took place, when there appeared—for the amendment, 19 ; against it, 21 ; majority against it, 2. An ineffectual attempt was made by Mr. PLUMPTRE and Mr. SPOONER to put down the running of excursion trains on Sundays. This was opposed by Mr. MUNTZ ilMd Colonel SIBTRORP, who recommended them to be Sin by preventing gentlemen's carriages running on Sundays. Eventually clauses up to 81 were agreed to, and the House adjourned to Five o'clock. •- The first public business transacted, on the re-assem bling of the House, was the swearing in of the Dart mouth Election Committee. Among the petitions presented were two on the sub ject of Post office espionage : one by Mr. SUM, the other by Mr. WARLEY. Mr. SIIEIL subsequently gave notice of a motion on the juhjea for Tuesday next. Sir R. PEEL stated that he would on Monday state in what order he intended to bring on the various Govern ment measures relating to Ireland after Easter. The Right Hon. Baronet also stated, in answer to Lord MhiroN, that it was the intention of the Government, in consequence of the destruction of the Portland Vase, to introduce s measure for the more effectual protection of . works of art from malicious damage. Mr. COBDEN then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice for a Select Committee to in quire into agricultural distress, and how far the present laws with regard to the importation of agricultural pro dace affected the agricultural labourers. As to the ex istence of that distress they could not have higher au thority than that of the Hon. Gentleman who professed to be the friend of farmers and protection, and the ex istence of distress being admitted, it was their duty to inquire into the causes which had produced it. It must bo admitted that inquiry was necessary, for while, on the one hand, the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Treasury attributed the distress to local causes, which could not be remedied by legislative inter ference, the Hon. Member for Dorset contended that it was attributable to a deficiency of legislative measures. For himself he was ready to prove before a Committee, that the farmer had long been suffering from evils which were attributable directly to the corn-laws- To the operations of those laws be attributed the present bad farming and pauperism of the farmer. The farmer hail no capital, and no capitalist would embark in farm ing unless under a proper lease. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to show the ingenious manner in which the present system of corn-laws operated on the tenant farmer and the agricultural labourer, and concluded by formally moving for the appointment of a Select Com mittee of Inquiry. The motion gave rise to a lengthened and animated discussion, in the course of which the House was ad dressed by Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, Lord llowick, Mr. S. O'BRIEN, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. WODEHOUSE, and several other Hon. Members ; and, Mr. COBDEN having briefly replied, the House divided, when the numbers were—for the motion, 121 ; against it, 213 ; majority against the motion, 92. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. The division on Mr. COBDEN'S motion for an inquiry into the cause of agricultural distress was, within a few votes, what might have been expected. The majority , which Sir ROBERT PEEL can always command when he chooses to act the Farmers' Friend were at their post, and resolutely determined to look for no relief to themselves, their tenants, and their half starved labourers but from protection. They have not courage to look the evil in the face, and, like sluggards, trust to the chapter of accidents, or what is still more hopeless, to vain Acts of Parliament, for relief- Speeches like those of Mr. COBDEN and Lord Ilowicx, excellent as they are, are entirely thrown away on men whom experience cannot convince. Though the corn-laws have been in operation now fur thirty years, and during a great portion of that period were entirely in accordance with the landowners' claims, prices have been constantly fluctuating—they are now so low, that ruin stares master and servant in the face—yet still the monopolists continue the mad cry " More corn laws," and " Down with free trade." The Government, however, are evidently conscious of the absurdity of these men, for, with the exception of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, all were silent, and had he been silent too their case would perhaps have been better. The Duke of WELLINGTON has long undergone the odium of having described county meetings as farces, but there was absolute wisdom in this maxim compared with the character which the new Secretary at War has given of Committees of Inquiry. " Tell me," said he, " the politics of the majority of the Committee, and I will tell you the nature of the report." So that all inquiries are vain, honour and honesty are not to be found among the representatives of the people. Facts are set at defiance, and the Chairman of a Com mittee delivers a report, not according to evi dence, but in accordance with his politics. 'We trust, however, that the enemies of the corn-laws will not be dismayed by such defeats, but persevere in the steady tenor of their way till they have, by the re petition of undeniable facts, taught even their blind op ponents wisdom. They have already done wonders. They have silenced Sir ROBERT PEEL, because he cannot deny their conclusions without contra. vening his own principles on free trade ; but they have done a great deal more, they have roused the farmers to their real interests and the cause of all their distress. The obstinate agriculturists of the old school have begun to open their eyes—they have tried protection, till they are left without protection ; and they now believe that safety may yet be found by improvements in their system, by increased diligence and industry, and by securities from the landlord that their labour and capital shall have a suitable return—in other words, that their is no safety for them, and no hopes but in leases of such a length that they shall hare time for realising ample returns for their outlay. This is the foundation of all good farming. Without it neither Sovereign, nor Parliament, nor Minister can afford them any relief. For this new light they are en tirely indebted to Mr. COBDEN and his friends ; and, instead of denouncing tbom as enemies, they ought to welcome them as their best friends. We cannot recur to the debate of Tuesday night, on Mr. AGLIONBY'S motion for the production of papers connected with the affairs of New Zealand and the policy of Captain FITZROY'S government, without a feel ing of extreme difficulty in selecting the most important features which it presents for animadversion. Oa the conduct of the Now Zealand Company—on the unjusti fiable proceedings of its Directors—on the loss of pro perty, the disappointed hopes, the broken spirits, the ruined expectations which have ensued upon their past mismanagement—we have not been slow to express our strong opinions. We do not, therefore, in the present state of our information, feel prepared to concur with the Hon. Member for Cockermouth in the sort of case he has inferentially assumed in favour of that Company, as a public body at once meritorious and aggrieved. We have no sympathy with the singular delusion under which its champions labour, when, in vindicating the complaints of certain settlers and colonists against the local government of that far distant possession, " that an undue degree of consideration and favour is habitually shown to the 'savages'"--as they are pleased to term the whole of the Aboriginal population;—they affect to treat the native New Zealanders as overgrown children, in capable of judging what are their own wants, ignorant of what are their own rights, and inadequate to'any estimation of the means presented to them for supplying the one or establishing the other. If negotiations with the New Zealanders for the purchase of lands, or the preparation of treaties, have failed on account of this fatal preliminary, an undervaluing of the moral dispo sition and natural intelligence of the people, the fault lies in the gross ignorance and misapprehension of those who undertook the organization of such relations with them being so utterly disqualified for such a duty. So far from regarding—with some of our friends in whose political and commercial views we have the happiness of generally concurring—the principles or management of the whole New Zealand Company concern with un qualified favour, we look upon it as one of the most ill considered, precipitate, ill-advised, and ignorantly worked experiments in colonial emigration and settlement which el as ever set afloat in this country. The Company's affairs abroad seem to have been at least as much mismanaged as their business at home; and a more emphatic con demnation than this we could not pronounce upon the Association. The catastrophe of Wairau was the in evitable denouement of such a melancholy series of blunders. We sincerely lament, with Mr. BULLER, the disastrous fate of Captain WAKEFIELD on that occasion ; but can we forget the fatuity or the misfortune which makes him so largely responsible for the incredible proceeding, on the part of the settler-band, of surrendering up their arms, without a struggle, to the sanguinary followers of the implacable chief to whose spears and clubs they may be said to have presented themselves a voluntary sacrifice ? But we dismiss the particular case of New Zealand, and even of the extravagant mal administration of its interests by the Government ap pointed under the Colonial Department, in order to ex press our unqualified thanks to Mr. AGLIONBY for the masterly exposition he gave of Downing-street dog gedness and folly in dealing with the most vital 'inte rests of our fellow-subjects in our remotest possessions. It is high time, as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who followed Mr. BULLER in a speech of congenial ability, said, " that the attention of the Legislature should be solemnly directed to the unsatisfactory management of colonial business by the Minister for that great department, and the melancholy exhibitions of in capacity and wrong-headedness which its selected go vernors too frequently exhibit, to the amazement of the public. To judge from the official acts of Captain FITZROY, which are of an eccentric extravagance, on the statements of these gentlemen, we are left to hesitate under what phase of intelligent respectability we are to consider him as acting. We must not call him a con juror—we do not believe him to be one. But he seems as orofound an adept in basal ding measures of suicidal temerity as the " medicine man" in a camp of Mandan or Scioux Indians. It was well observed that the ques tion of New Zealand was that of our colonial govern ment at large ; its history oily a striking illustration of the entire ignorance of the whole subject of colonial government, which pervaded the whole colonial adminis tration abroad and at home. And what can be the cause of this singular administrative anomaly in a Go vernment generally of so much intelligence and sagacity as our own ? We answer that it is mainly the re sult of the very defective system of education which prevails in our Universities and public schools Captain FITZROY, it must have been imagined, was, by descent and family connexion, a born legislator. His blunders are only one more example to prove the rule of favouritism and party connexions in the bestowal of such appointments, and to illustrate their melancholy but inevitable consequences. Now and then a man like THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 14 1845. STAMFORD RAFFLES starts into place without any of these adventitious advantages, and establishes the empire l i of his country's political force and renown in Java, or gives marvellous concentration to her commercial energy and greatnesss at Singapore. He is only a "practical" man, of no connexions but great natural talents, expanded by observation, sharpened by necessity, and matured by experience, into statesmanlike wisdom. He is a brilliant exception but one of such note and mark as should at once override the rule. We might in that event look for colonial secretaries appointed in virtue only of their extensive knowledge of colonial affairs, their dispas sionate judgment, temper, and patriotic disregard of personal prepossessions er prejudices. We might then hope for colonial governors, nominated on account only of their talents for administration, their local know ledge, their ability to reconcile the legitimate claims of individual interests with the paramount demands of the public good ;—men distinguished alike for being con versant with the business of government, and gifted with a knowledge of human character. On this last point we are pleased to avail ourselves of the implied reflection on the mistaken policy which inexperience or ignorance of the character of the New Zealand Abori gines has induced English functionaries of all kinds in that island to adopt, that was conveyed in the remark of an Hon. Tory Member, with whore it is rarely our fortune to side. But we do acquiesce, to the letter, in these observations by Sir ROBERT Isnnts:—"From the moment that we thus recognised them, all our pro ceedings in reference to them should have proceeded on the footing of equal rights, Not of equal power, for that was not possible. But, on the contrary, the case, as it actually stood, was the case of a company of persons, and the individuals composing that company were men of character as high and principles as just as any who are to be found in any part of the empire, the binding prin ciples of whom, it could not be denied, were principles of pecuniary interest."

The SrEalea took the Chair at Twelve o'clock, and immediately afterwards the House went into Committee on the RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL The remaining clauses of the Bill from 04 down to 109, both inclusive, were severally put and agreed to without discussion. The Committee then took up the postponed clauses of the Bill. On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, a clause was intro. duced in the place of clause 5, which had been struek out, giving to owners and occupiers of land more specific recompense for the damage or Injury they might have sustained by the construction of railway works, or by the loss of the land taken for them. The NOBLIL Lours also brought up a clause in place of clause 44, for obliging railway companies t• make sufficient approaches to pri vate or other roads which were affected by the works of railroads. On the motion of the same NOBLE LORD, several clauses which had been agreed to in the Companies Clauses Consolidation Bill were also introduced into this Bill. The Noble Lord said that as these clauses had been fully discussed in the Committee on the other Bill, he thought they might with safety be introduced into this Bill, and they were agreed to. A clause was also introduced to prevent railway companies from making works to impede, cross, or in any way affect any creek or arm of the sea, or to alter or amend the same, without the consent of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, or the Lords of the Admiralty being previously obtained. Lord G. SOMERSET, in the absence of his Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland, begged to move the introduction of a clause which provided that no works should be constructed by railway companies which would affect the fall, or discharge, or alter the level of any stream of water without the supervision and consent of the Board of Works in Ireland. The Noble Lord said that was already partially provided for by the 6th Victofia, but the introduc tion of the clause would make the obligation general in Ireland. The NOBLE LORD then moved an amendment a to the 20th clause, restricting the power of a railway company to take temporary posssession of land without previously paying the price of it. The Noble Lord wished to exempt from this power cultivated fields, plantations, approaches to a mansion -house, or any other orna. mental road or ground. As the clause originally stood, a railway company would have power to take possession of land for the pur poses of the line, extending in depth 1,000 yards from the centre of the railway. The Noble Lord proposed to alter the number of yards to 500. Colonel SIBTHORP moved that the number be only 100. Lord G. SOMERSET suggested that his amendments should be agreed to, and then the Gallant Colonel would be at liberty to move the omission altogether. Colonel SIBTHORP was understood to agree to this suggestion. Sir D. NORREYS thought the powers given to engineers by this clause were too great. Lord G. SOMERSET said that, if the clause had been made more stringent in this general Act, the companies might have obtained greater powers in a special Act than were proposed to be given here. The words which he proposed to introduce were these: " Not being an avenue, or other ornamental road, nor an approach to a mansion.house." Madrid journals of the 6th have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies, on that day, the report of the Committee on the restoration of Church property had been presented. The majority are in favour of the Government proposition, but a separate report was given in by the minority, in which it is recommended that further guarantees should be given to the purchasers of national property, and that the property about to be given to the clergy should not be placed at their absolute and uncontrolled disposal. The editor of the Espettculor, charged with publishing a libel on the Government rela tive to the execution of Zurbano, had been acquitted. MADRID BOURSE.—Three per Cents. for cash 33k, for account 34 9-16 ; Five per Cents. for account 254. There are deplorable accounts from Prussia of the state of the inhabitants of several districts. In the circle of Cletzko it is stated that there were four thou sand families without food or work, and in Fried land one-third of the houses are described as being un inhabited and shut up. The mortality among the people, owing to starvation and the severity of the winter, was per fectly awful ; and from the 9th to the 16th ult. the deaths were as 6 to 1 to the births. During the winter three-fourths of the cattle are said to have IR rished for the want of proper shelter and nourishment, and the people were reduced to such a state that in numerous instances they preferred remaining in bed half the day to avoid the cold, and console themselves for their scanty supply of food. The agriculturists had not even the requisite seed to put in the ground for the ensuing crops, and there was little hope for them but from immediate assistance by Go vernment. All this is given in a communication from Co logne, and yet it appears extraordinary th at if matters are so bad the Berlin Cabinet should not, ere this, have inter posed. The Funds are firmer again, Consols having touched 99",z‘ i and par for Money. Nothing has been done in Bank Stock. Exchequer-bills have been 665. to 68s. premium. The value of Portuguese Stock has further receded, the Converted being 65',4 to 66%. A reaction is to be expected. Spanish Five per Cents. are up to 29 3 4 and 304. 'The Threes are 4031. Mexican Bonds bring 36 , 4 to %. Dutch Two and-a-fialf per Cents. are 631 . Shares are rather fluctuating. South-Eastern have been better, Churnet Valley rather lower, Direct Northern firm, and London and York steady. Brighton are quiet. Colonel ROLLESTON said the interpretation clause seemed to be at variance with the limitations the Noble Lord had alluded to. Colonel SIBTHORP said the limitations were all in favour of the property of gentlemen. Now he knew of no class that ought to be specially protected as gentlemen. In what situation did the clause place the poor man or tenant, farming a few acres of land ? He might have inroads made on his property for mere temporary purposes, for the making of bricks, or for every other possible annoyance. The Noble Lord said he might bring an action against the company ; but would the railroad company pay the expenses of that action, as well as the damage done to hire? He (Colonel Sibthorp) was not sent to that House to defend the property of what were called gentlemen; they could better afford to part with some of it than the poor man, and though such inroads might annoy the gentleman, they would altogether anaihi. late the whole of the hard-earned property of the poor man. If this was the law and justice dealt out by a British House of Core. room!, then it was high time that another reform of it should take place, and different men sent there. He solemnly protested against the whole clause, and from nothing else but a desire to protect the property of the humbler classes. The Noble Lord said he had better take the sense of the Honse on it, and he would de so, though he knew he should fail. Lord G. SOMERSET agreed to introduce an asneminsent into the clause that would limit the occupation of the land to the time necessary to construct only that particular portion of the line. The intelligence in the Paris papers is not important. The Chamber of Deputies had resolved unanimously to take into consideration the Bill of M. MURET DE BORT, for the Conversion of the Five per Cents. The Finance Minister said he had no objection to the measure being brought forward for discussion, and pledged himself to bring in a Bill on the subject next session. A tele graphic dispatch, dated the 10th, had been received by the Government en Tuesday from the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, announcing that the strike by the workmen of the Arsenal had ceased, and that the men had re sumed their labours. The Paris papers contain some additional particulars respecting the late fatal duel. It appears that M. DUJARRIER, who was killed, had the first fire, but missed his antagonist. M. BEAUVALON, in returning the shot, sent his ball through the right eye into the brain of his adversary, who was immediately put into his carriage to be conveyed home, but he expired before it reached the house. The duel, it appears, arose out of ;a dispute at a party of cards. The Droit says, " A writing stained with blood, found in one of M. DUTARRIER'S pockets, dated Monday night, twelve o'clock, and addressed to his testamentary executor, begins in these words:—' At the moment of going to fight a duel, on the most futile and absurd of causes, I intrust to you my last will.' Then follows an enumeration of the legacies, one of which is eighteen shares in the Theatre of the Palais Royal, to an actress of the Theatre of the Porte St. Martin. The Procu reur du Roi has named an examining magistrate to in vestigate the circumstances of the death, and an autopsy of the body has been ordered. Warrants for the arrest of M. BEAUVALON and his seconds have been issued." ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. 3 per Cent.

After a few words from Colonel Rottearox and Lord S. So snags?, th• clause as amended, was agreed to. Mr. TATTON EGERTON, in the absence of the Hon. Mem ber for Sussex, who was engaged on an election Committee, moved an amendment to the 21st clause, which gave a railway company power, by depositing the estimated price, to take possession of any land which might be required far slip banks, or side cuttings, and to remove this power was the principal object of the amendment. In the 22d clause it was provided that disputes between landholders and railway companies should be referred to two justices of the peace to see whether the railway absolutely required the land for the public convenience, but the justices had no power to order that the lands and materials should not be taken. The Hon. Member therefore moved another amendment to supply this de ficiency. _ _ Lord G. SOMERSET complained of the vagueness of the lan guage in the amendment. It was liable to many and various con structions, and gave large discretionary powers to the justices. He, however, would not object to the amendment then, but on Monday he hoped the Committee would either be prepared to modify or strike it out altogether. The amended clauses were then agreed to. Sir D. NORRETS proposed a clause to enable persons in Ireland interested in obtaining water power, and of carrying currents over or under a railway, to form the works necessary for such pur pose, and in case any dispute should arise between the railway proprietors and the person desiring to obtain such water power, to submit the dispute to the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, who should have to adjudicate thereon, and authorise the construction of such works as they deemed not likely to be in jurious to the railway. Lord G. SOMERSET said that they had not the power to con sider this clause in Committee, and the motion was withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN having left the chair, reported that the =emit mend had been agreed to, but it was immediately discovered that an omission had been made with respect to the interpretation clause.—The Bill was then recommitted, and the mistake was rectified. The accounts from Switzerland are favourable, and strong hopes are entertained that the disputes will be amicably settled by the,withdrawal of the Jesuits from Lucerne, and the disbanding of the free corps. The Di rectory of Zurich has addressed a proposition to the Diet, the object of which is to put down the free corps in all the cantons, and the following note on the same subject has been sent by M. G UIZOT to the French Ambas sador, the Count DE PoNToxs, which he had communi cated to the Vorort on the 7th. It is dated the 3d inst.:— " Monsieur le Comte,—l have just received your dispatches of the 28th ult. It is with the most lively satisfaction that I perceive in them proofs of a complete accord between you and your colleagues—an accord so necessary in the presence of the embarrassments of which Switzerland is the theatre, and which corresponds so well with the entente cordiale that unites all Cabinets. The formation of the free corps is, without contradiction, ;one of the most serious events of the present state of things ; and already, more than once, I have apprised you of the anxiety that I felt as to the eventualities with which, not only the repose but also the existence of the confederation, were menaced by this organised anarchy. The imperative necessity of putting an end to such abuses, and preventing a recurrence of them, is not contested in Europe by any of the true friends of Switzerland. In Switzerlaod itself it cannot be a question of doubt for enlightened minds. At the moment when the Diet is about to deliberate on the free corps, I expressly re commend to you to call the most serious attention of the Pre sident to the radical illegality and incalculable danger of such an institution. Announce to him in the most formal terms our full and entire conviction on this subject. Let the Diet be convinced of the necessity of adopting, before it separates, the most energetic measures to prevent the recurrence of the attempts which have compromised the repose of Switzerland. Insist on the enormous responsibility which, in the eyes of Switzerland and the whole of Europe, would fall upon such of the cantonal governments as should, in contempt of the rights of nations and the stipulations of the federal compact, tolerate, or not take means of preventing, the violation of the public peace. You are authorised to communicate this dis patch to the President of the Diet, and to furnish him with a copy of it." The amount of business done on Wednesday in Rentes on the Paris Bourse was trifling. The Three per Cents. had not varied in price; the Fives had slightly advanced, the formerleaving off at 851. 10c.; and the latter at 118 f. for the end of the month. The market closed as follows : —Five per Cents. for cash, 117 f. 65c.; for account, 118 f. Three per Cents. for cash, 85f. 5c.; for account, 85f. 10c. Bank of France Shares, 3,175 f.

The report was or. dered to be brought up at twelve o'clock on Monday. LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL On the•motion of Lard G. SOMERSET the House went into Committee on the Lands Clauses Consolidation Bill, and clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. All the clauses up to 23 were agreed to. Upon clause 23 being proposed, Mr. T. EGERTON said he thought that was the best opportunity for him to propose an amendment which he had contemplated. H• proposed that the owner of land which was to be taken by the Corn. pany should have the option of choosing either an arbitration or a Jury. He could not conceive any mode fairer than that of arbitration. In case of dispute, the arbitration might be appointed by the Board of Trade. To accomplish his object he should move the omission of paragraphs 23, 24, 25, and 26, and the insertion of those of which he had given notice. What he suggested was adopted in the Scotch Lands Consolidation Bill, and he did not see why the same prin ciple should not be applied in both countries_ Lord G. SOMERSET said, that if be rightly apprehended the Honourable Member's object, it was to secure to both parties the option, to a certain extent, say 1,0001., of settling their diffe rences by arbitration. To that extent he would not object to such an arrangement, but he would not go beyond it. Mr. G. CRAIG believed that Scotch landowners would be very glad to have this option. It was, in fact, a necessary security to parties whose property was taken by compulsion. Lord G. SOMERSET said that he had no doubt but that the sheriff would be able to secure the services of twenty-four indivi duals, who would act correctly, but he thought he ought not to be restricted in his selection. He (Lord G. Somerset) himself had been placed in a position In which, having a Jury to select, he had been told that he could not find twenty-four persons within that district who lived in the county, and he was obliged to go out of the county. He had no objection to accept the Hon. Member's amendment to the extent of I,OOOL, but be would not go beyond tt. He thought that if the sum was greater than that, that the company ought, as well as the land owner, to have the option of arbitration or decision by jury. Mr. T EGERTON said, that according to the Noble Lord's state. ment the company would have the advantage of the advice and aisistance of engineers and other professional persons. Now it was evident that the landowner was utterly unable to compete with the company under those circumstances, and in the cases of large towns It was well known that the landowner had no chance whatever. But the person he wished to protect was the small land owner, the man who possessed three or four agree, and he hoped that the Noble Lord would kindly consent to his amendment. Mr. AGLIONBY said that he by no means wished to depreciate the trial by jury, but he could by no means put the same implicit faith in English juries that the Honourable Member for Cheshire seemed to entertain, for he did not believe juries to be by any means infallible. He knew a case near Lancaster, where a beautiful house, with delightfully ;situated grounds, at the end of the town had been ruined beyond all power of esouey to recompense, and what did the jury decide upon ? Why they gave absolutely less fee the land taken than the proprtetor had paid for it two years before. He (Mr. Aglionby) did not see the necessity of employing a professional person at all, and he thought that a plain man with a knowledge of land was quite able to arbitrate as well as any other person. lie would [engage to pick twenty-four men out of the county of Cumberland who would arbitrate just as satisfactorily as the best professional person in the world. He knew of one case where the expense of arbitration was 1,2001, and the landowner was actually compelled to receive 600/. less than he ought to have done for the arrangement, which was a grievous loss to him. Tua WEATnnu.—The thermometer last night marked 12 deg., being 20 below the freezing point, and 2 deg. lower than it has been at any period during the present severe winter. The highest point which it reached yes terday was only 35, marking an intensity of cold rarely occurring is the middle of March. We have had beautiful clear sunshine all this morning, with a keen north-east wind. MORTALITY IX TIM ➢iETROI'OLIS —The number of deaths last week was 1,141, being 111 above the average. The excess is still almost entirely confined to diseases of the lungs and the other organs of respiration, especially bronchitis, and pneumonia. Deaths from small-pox are on the decrease, though still rather above the average. The number of deaths from burns and scalds is enormously large, amounting to 22 cases. There are 4 suicides. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—The following is a correct list of the Oxford crew:— st. lb. 1. Haggard, M., Christ Church lO 3 2. Stapylton, W. C., Merton lO 12 3. Milman, W. H.; Christ Church 4.

J., Merton (coxswain) The Cambridge crew arrived at Putney on Wednesday after• noon, and are staying at Avis's, the Bells Tavern, for the purpose of paying the utmost attention to their training, as also to practise over the course selected for the aquatic struggle. They took a tour up to Mortlake immediately after their arrival, which they repeated yesterday, shortly before dusk. The wind from the north was so severe that they could with difficulty grasp their oars, and where the slightest damp touched their clothes they became frozen whilst they were rowing. They appear in the finest possible condition and spirits and average eleven and a half-stone per man. The Oxford were expected yesterday, and much cu riosity was manifested to see them at work, but they had not arrived late yesterday evening. W. Harrison, Esq., the Com modore of the Royal f hames Yacht Club, has consented to be umpire on the occasion. The race will be started upward, the distance being from Putney-bridge to Mortlake church, and will take place at about five in the afternoon. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a public meeting was held at Willis's rooms, in aid of the funds of this hospital, the Duke of Buccleuch, K.G., in the chair. Amongst the nobility and entry present were Lord John Russell, Lord Radstock, It N., the Bishops of London and Lichfield, the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone, M.P., Mr. Alder man Copeland, Mr. Cotton, &c. The secretary read the re port, which, after enumerating the many benefits conferred upon the poor and on science by the hospital, stated that the charity would be compelled to close its doors against many deserving applicants for relief, unless its funds were replenished. In conclusion, it stated that since its opening in 1840, the in and out patients who had received medical and surgical treatment numbered 553,286. The Bishops of London and Lichfield, Lord John Russell, Mr. Gladstone, and others very ably and eloquently advocated the cause of the charity ; after which it was unanimously resolved to raise 15,000/. towards the maintenance of the hospital. Do nations to the amount of 1,658/. and 45/. additional annual subscriptions were announceo. Amongst the donations were the following :—Her Majesty (fifth), 1001. ; Queen Dowager (fourth), 150/. ; Prince Albert (second), 52/. 10s. ; the Bishop of London, 1001. ; the Duke of Buccleuch, 100/. ; Archbishop of Canterbury, 521. 10s. ; Joseph Green, Esq. (third), 50/. ; Lord Radstock, 20/. ; Lord Manvers, 521. 10s. ; Messrs. Twinings, 31/. 10s., &c. Thanks having been voted to the Noble Chairman, the meeting broke up. This morning, Messrs. Boutcher, Meek, Drake, Beasley, and Cox, being a deputation from the leather trade, bad an interview with Sir George Clerk, at the Board of Trade, Whitehall. Mr. Forbes, Sir Denham Norreys, and Mr. Fitzstephen French, expressed their dissatisfaction with the clause, and hoped the amen& ment would be adopted. On clause 89 being put, Mr. AGLIONBY objected to the time and place for holding the jury being fixed by the warrant to the sheriff requiring him to summon the jury. LEFT SITTING.] MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE--FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been on a mo derate scale, especially from Lincolnshire and Norfolk, yet the quan tity on offer was rather scanty. For all descriptions the demand was In a sluggish state, and Monday's prices were with difliculty - sup ported. Foreign Wheat was again dull, yet sales could not be effeoted on lower terms. Bonded Grain quite nominal. Barley was in full average supply, and heavy inquiry ; and the same may be said of Malt. There was rather more life in the Oat trade, at full prices. Other Grain sold slowly, at unaltered currencies. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oath. 4,170 qrs. 4,560 qrs. 10,090 --- 6,730 Malt, 7,750 qrs. SPiLITHPIBLD.

IN RE ISAAC SLIPPER. In this case the insolvent had kept a public-house at Romford, and having become a bankrupt he was compelled to appeal to this Court. About a fortnight since he was heard in this Court, on an application to be bailed, when the Learned Chief Commissioner finding that all the insolvent's property had been seized upon by a friend of his, named Potter, under a warrant of attorney for an alleged loan of money, and net being satisfied that money had been advanced, and concluding that the warrant of attorney was nothing more than a ruse to defraud his other creditors, refused to allow the insolvent to be discharged until the matter was inquired into more closely, and the body of the creditors were present. Not having complied with the orders of the Court, the insolvent was confined in the Queen's Bench until this day, when he again came up for hearing, and the Learned Chief Commissioner seeing none of the creditors present, instituted a most searching investigation into all the facts of the case, after which he said he said he should not allow the insolvent out upon bail, because he considered the conduct both of him and Potter to be most unfair and fraudulent. The insolvent was accordingly removed back to the Queen's Bench Prison. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, MARCH 13. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAYS.--This was ' a petition for a Bill to enable the promoters to make railways from the ter minus of the South-Eastern line and the branches from Lon don to Chilham, Tunbridge, and Paddock-wood, with branches to Favers ham-creek to Stone, near Dartford, and to make railways and branch railways from the South- Eastern Railway at Tunbridge to Tunbridge-wells, and from Maidstone to Rochester, and from Ashford to Hast ings; and also to alter and extend the Canterbury, Rams gate, and Margate branch of the South-Eastern line, and to make a branch from there to Deal, and to widen and ex tend certain parts of the London and Greenwich Railway, which is now about to be leased by the South-Eastern Company. The Bill came before the Committee last Friday, when it was withdrawn, on an understanding from the Chairman that it was informal to introduce into one Act powers which could only be obtained by separate Bills; on that day it was also found that many of the standing orders bad not been complied with. Mr. Burke attended on Thursday, and stated that the original Bill would be withdrawn, the House having given permission to the promoters to divide it into seven Bills. Petition for Bill withdrawn. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY (PORTSMOUTH ErrEnsion).—The promoters of this Bill propose to make a railway from the Brighton and Chichester line, on the eastern side of the Dell-quay and Farmhurst turnpike-road, in the parish of St. Peter's Subdeanery, to the turnpike road from Portsmouth to London, near Landport, in the borough of Portsmouth ; and also to make a branch from the Farlington Waterworks, to terminate by anction with the Gosport branch of the London and South- Western Rail way at the Fareham station. The line will pass throngh New Fishbourne, Bosham, Huntington, Chidam, Westbourne, Warlington, Havant, Bedhampton, Wymmering, Portsea, and Portchester, in the county of Southampton. The esti mated cost of the works is 320,0001. Engineer, T. W. Ras trick. Mr. Burke appeared as agent for the Bill. There were two petitions complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders. The Agent for the promoters having called the necessary witnesses to prove the serving of notices, &c., Mr. Coates, of the firm of Dyson and Hall, said he ap peared in support of the petition of Mr. John Edward Pad don, against the proposed line of railway. Mr. James William Blackman, owner and occupier of pro perty on the line, said that his name did not properly appear in the book of reference, he having been noticed as J oha in stead of James William. Mr. Burke explained. The mistake was occasioned by the name having been copied from the witness's door-plate,where the name was not in full, but simply J. Blackman. Mr. J. E. Paddon was interested for the family of Commo dore Henry Ducie Chad, the owner and occupier of certain lands on the line. Mr. Burke objected to the examination of Mr. Paddon, who was himself a petitioner against the Bill, and who, under such circumstances, he submitted, could not be heard U a witness. Mr. Coates replied, and the Committee having cleared the room, after some little time the parties were called in, and informed that the - witness should be heard upon the alle gation. Witness—Commodore Chad was put down in the book of reference as Captain John Chad, instead of Henry Ducie Chad. The Committee were of opinion that the standing orders had not been complied with in this instance. It being now four o'clock, the further hearing of the case was adjourned to twelve o'clock this day. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. THE CORNWALL RAILWAY.—It will be recollected that Mr. Aglionby's Committtee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. To-day, however, Mr. Burke, .the agent for the Bill, submitted reasons to the Standing Orders Committee against the decision of the Sub-Committee, and the result was, that the Standing Orders Committee decided that the promoters of the Bill might pro ceed with it. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) (Sub-Committee, No. 2. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY. Mr. COATES, agent for the petitioners against the Bill, proceeded to prove the allegation of petitions presented yesterday respecting erroneous description in the book of reference. In several cases of misnomer the Committee decided against the Company that the standing orders had not been complied with. The particulars were very trivial, in one case Matilda Cope was erroneously described as Matilda Coape. Sub-Committee No. 4 assembled this day at Twelve o'clock. Pre sent Sir W. Heathcote, Mr. Childers, Mr. Packe, Mr. C. Leigh, and Mr. Shirley. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY. This line is to be 120 miles in length, and to cost 1,500,0001. En g'neer, Mr. Brunel. Mr. VENABLES appeared as agent, and the necessary formal proefb were gone through, with the exception of the proof of certain notices, the witness who was to prove this being unavoidably absent. The case was adjourned to Monday for the attendance of this witness. MURDER AT SALT-HILL CLOSE OF THE TRIAL, AND VERDICT. AYLESBURY, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. The trial of John Tawell has just closed in a verdict of Guilty, and the unhappy prisoner has been sentenced to death. The town appears quite in a state of excitement, and the verdict was received by many with surprise, while on the other hand a great many people had made certain of his conviction, for the feeling in Aylesbury and the neigh bourhood was very strong against him. The Court again opened at eight o'clock this morning, and was more crowded even than yesterday. Mr. Baron Parke took his seat on the bench at a few minutes after that hour, and the prisoner was immedi ately brought in and placed in the dock. He appeared much as he did yesterday, with this difference, that his face had a more anxious and worn expression. The feeling of ex citement in Court with regard to the issue appeared in tense. The Learned JUDGE, as soon as silence had been proclaimed, commenced summing up the evidence, which he did with a lucidness well calculated to leave the minds of the jury in a befitting condition for the discharge of the awful duty which they had to per form. The effect was felt, however, to be, upon the whole, against the prisoner. His Lordship concluded in the usual manner, by leaving the awful de cision of the question of the prisoner's life or death in the hands of the jury, telling them if they had any fair and reasonable doubt, they must give the prisoner the benefit of it. The jury retired for deliberation at half.past eleven o'clock, and a sensation in which a general feeling of anxiety as to the event, appeared to pervade the breasts of the majority of those present. After an absence of rather sore than half an hour, they returned into Court and the Foreman delivered a " VER DICT OF GUILTY," amid the most profound silence. The JUDGE then proceeded to pass the awful sen tence of Death upon the prisoner. He told him that he had been found guilty by a jury of his coun trymen upon evidence which had perfectly satisfied him (Baron Parke) and them, and he thought every fair and reasonable person who had heard it, that he had committed a most heinous, diabolical, cowardly murder upon his unfortunate victim. He then passed the sentence of death in the usual manner, ordering that hie body, after execution, should be buried within the walls of the jail. The unhappy man received the sentence with an extraor dinary amount of firmness ; and, beyond the nervousness which we noticed yesterday he betrayed very little emotion, although numbers of persons in Court were in tears, and some of the females sobbed aloud. He was then removed back to the prison, and the public immediately quitted the Court. SUICIDE BY BITTER ALMONDS.—Yesterday Mr. Biggs held an inquest at the Cock, Grafton-street, Soho-square, on the body of Sophia Margaret Thompson, aged 36, late a cook in a gentleman's family, who had poisoned herself by drinking some of the essence of bitter almonds, which had been used for flavouring puddings, &c. The deceased, it appeared, had some time since been deserted by a man whom she expected to marry her. Verdict, " Tem porary insanity." DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The Directors of this Company are about at once to carry into effect the Board of Trade's report in favour of their line from Lincoln to York, and to cease to press upon the Legislature that portion of the line between Lincoln and London. To compensate, however, for the abandon ment of the latter portion of their undertaking, it is the intention of the promoters to enter into an arrangement, already said to have commenced, with the Cambridge and Lincoln, Eastern Counties, and Tottenham and Farringdon-street =erasion Companies.
