Men. Member for Kilkenny. It appeared to him on the contrary, that the old system had been productive of very great inconveniences, and the notice book being filled up for mouth after month. ' He hoped the good sense of the House would be in favour of the new plan. Cord JOHN RUSSELL entirely agreed with the ob servations of the Hon. Member for Sheffield. Public business bad been very much interrupted under the old 'system, and he thought the plan at present adopted was much better suited to the convenience of the House. Mr H ► liME would not put the House to a division, thoughl t his experience told him that it would be much better to adopt the amendment be proposed. The order was then agreed to. MR. D. W. HARVEY. Mr. WYNNE said that, having seen a letter signed by a gentleman who stated that since the last Session of Parliament, he had accepted an office created by an Act passed during the last Session, but that having been ad vised that it was incompetent for him to do so and retain his scat in that House, he had resigned it, wished to know the circumstances under which the acceptance and resigna tion of that °lice had taken place. He had no doubt that circumstances bad occurred that had justified the course that had been adopted ; but still it was necessary that the House should know upon what ground the ordi nary practice had been deviated from. He trusted that the Noble Lord opposite would have no objection to lay ad the information in his power before the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that it would be much better that the Right Hon. Gentleman should have an opportunity of seeing the papers on the subject before he gave any explanation on the subject. Ho should take care that all the papers were laid upon the table of the House in the course of a few days. Mr. WYNNE thought that it would he better the Noble Lord should move for the papers, instead of the matter being brought forward as a communication from the THE ADDRESS. The report upon the Address was brought up by Mr. d Mr. Wood, and was read by the Clerk at the Buller table. Upon the paragraph being read relating to Belgium, Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord whether it was the intention of Ministers to lay the whole of the corresinndence respecting the treaty between Belgium and Holland upon the table of the House ? At present they were called upon to concur in a measure of which they knew absolutely nothing. They had already had upwards of 700 protocols ; and he wished to know how many more they were likely to have? Lord PALMERSTON—The whole of the papers up to the present time would be laid upon the table as soon as possible. Mr. lILLMI by air —Would the Noble Lord tell him whether, to this paragraph, the House was pledged ression against the Belgiums unless they sanction ag Lad l'A ERSTON—There was no such an ex pressien in the treaty. The House by agreeing to that paragraph would be pledged to nothing except general ap. probation of the measure. Mr. O'CONN ELL believed this was the proper time ~r a; a few remarks on the situation of 8e1...., ...., and the manner in which it had been introduced ice() the Speech. If he had undci stood the Noble Lord right he stated that Luxemburg and Limburg properly belonged to Holland, and was nut an integral part of the Belgic province. He presumed the Noble Lord was mistaken, for since the period ofCharles V. they had belonged to Belgium and not to Holland.—( Hear, hear.) They were first dissevered, if he might use the phrase, when they were turned into a department of the French Republic, and on the defeat of Napoleon they would naturally belong to the same State which possessed them before. If he understood the Noble Lord right, the Noble Lord would therefore be historically wrong. He understood him that the King of Belgium had assented to the transfer of this province to Holland. Now that was not accurate in sti , 3- stance, because the Noble Lord must have alluded to the 21 articles agreed to on the 15th October 1831, and turned into a treaty on the 15th November in the same year. The Congress of the five Powers certainly came to a definite agreement on that occasion, and it was true the Kin , : of Belgium assented to it; but the ques ti on was whether that assent was binding on Luxemburg and Lim burg ; for the treaty of Nov. 15, 1831, was expressly to be ratified within two months or to be void. The King of Belgium had signed it and was ready to ratify it, but the King of Holland refused and never ratified it at all. His signature was never given to any document until that of which they had heard in the Speech from the Throne. It was to be executory from the Ist of January 1832, and so far from the King of Holland having assented to it, on the 14th December, 1831, he protested against it, and refused to bo bound by it. It was not fair to say that the King of Belgium was bound by the treaty which he was ready to carry into effect, but to which the other party had refused to assent. But he would say more, for in the year 1832, tee Congress of the five Powers having guaranteed the execu tion of the treaty, and declared that they would maintain it by force, the King of the Belgians appealed to the five Powers so to execute it. France and England said they 'were bound to execute it, and agreed ; but Austria, Prussia and Russia refused to do so ; and that was the occasion, on the 2nd October, 1832, of the dissolution of the Congress. ilov is Belgium bound under these circumstance); by the treaty ? The avowed object of the treaty was to avoid the expenses of a war establishment in Belgium, to be ready to meet the attacks of Holland, but Belgium has incurred all the war expenses, and the King of Holland now finds ho has an interest in conceding, so he does accede to the treaty ; but ilk° tim e is gone by ; he did not sign it within two months ; he protested against it ; and would it not be the greatest cruelty for the Allied Powers now to interfere, and endeavour to compel Belgium to conform to the treaty ? The Noble Lord seemed to throw out that Limburg and Luxemberg were not averse to be transferred to Holland. Why to believe that wo must shut our eyes to all the facts in the Newspapers, which show plainly that those provinces are most Anxious to avoid connection with Holland, and that th`.l inhabitants have called for arms, and declared they sie ready ;to die sooner than be transferred to Hol 'an°' Ycu liberated eight millions of slaves in th e Vest Indies, and will you persist in transferring five mil along of slaves to Holland, a country, the Sovereign of which they hold in the utmost detestation, and justly so, for the way in which they were formerly governed? I anxiously hope that the Belgians will not submit to it. I think that you will not, by pursuing such a course, avoid war; but that you will, on the contrary, go the way to Plunge the country into war. Disaffection is spreading along the Rhino. The conduct of the King of Prussia towards his Catholic subjects, is a most atrocious violation of Inman liberty.—( Cries of " Oh, oh 1" from the Oppo !Won.) Do you consider it just that an Archbishop should Ise tent to prison without any law, at the mere will of a •despot ? I hope such an outrage will never be perpetrated on a Protestant Archbishop. And when we look to the situation of France, who can prophecy that anarchy will net prevail there in a very few days ? And is, ere not every temptation to the French armies to endeliour to sup port Limburg and Luxemburg against Holland ?—( Hear, bear.) I have done with that part of the Speech. There is another part in the Address, that relating to Ire land. I think I heard one of the very well-dressed and ornamented gentlemen—(Laughter)—who instructed the House last night say that Ireland wanted nothing but Corporate Reform.—(The Learned Member alluded to Mr. Wood, who seconded the Address.) Whatever calcu lations that Hon. Member may have made as to cottons he is not well acquainted with Ireland. Corporate Reform is not the panacea for all the wrongs of Ireland. In sober melancholy sadness I ask what connexion Corporate Re orm can have with the agrarian disturbances which have unfortunately terminated too often in assassination, and above all to that most lamentable murder of Lord Nor bury —with regard to which it was stated distinctly in a Dublin Paper, that the foot-prints of the assassin were not .thoae marked w ith th e s h oe o f t h e peasant , b ut were imprinted by boots or shoes with li g ht h ee l s , an d one o f the Newspapers had stated that a special reporter had taken a sketch of the foot-prints, and the account was uncontradieted down to the 24th or 25th of January, and the statement was then contradicted by a London Paper, and not by an Irish Paper,; but when it had been centre ,uicted in th e Lo n d on P apers, t h e D u bl in Evening Mail look it up and said that both statements were inaccurate, 101 that one of the foot-prints was the impression of a peasant's shoe, and the other that of a gentleman's boot; but the gentlemen who speak of the boots should recollect that the Jesuits may have lent such a boot to the as sassin. It has been represented that I suggested that the present Lord Norbury was the perpetrator of this horrible outrage. Such an idea never crossed my mind. I am now reading a report of a speech of my own, and hope lam not out of order. I was correcting an error of the press. The next thing I have to remark on is the Evening Mail—the atrocious lying Evening Mail. It has told 5,000 lies, but never one so atrocious and ridiculous as the lie which Lisa now appeared. This has been made the folindation, by a judicial and grave personage, of pro nouncing judgment by executing sentences after having beard one side. This person must have been the worst Judge that ever sat on the bench, and must have combined in himself the most ludicrous mixture, the character of Court jester with judicial gravity. He was not deprived of his seat on the bench by an adverse party, because he was so to tally disqualified that his own friends were obliged to remove him : and at least he became such an incumbrance to them, that they were obliged to go round a great way to get any body to fill it. Fortunately they found a most excellent person. Such a man must have been the ridi cule of the bar and the terror of clients--one who would mistake rapidity for the administration of justice, and whose decrees would serve, not as examples to the un initiated, but as landmarks to be avoided by all future Chancellors. —( Loud cries of " Order" from the Oppo sition benches.) time for in The SPEAKER said he must really throw himself, to a certain degree, on the good sense of the House. The Learned Gentleman must see that he could not suffer him to carry on war between the two Houses; although:he had put the case auppositiously, every body must see to whom hia observations applied, and although it was desirable he should state whatever was conducive to the clearing of his o wn character, yet, he was sure tho Hon. Member would admit, that he 'ought to show a good example. afac tho Mr. O'CONNELL sa id, h e wou ld b ow to the decision t Speaker. He could" hear with p er f ect qu i et, the ks of an object whom he despised. He had dis played his malignity, which had not hurt him. He had diminished its force throughout the country ; he had de monstrated its falsity, and he contemned the man and was contented with the manner in which he had been allowed to defend himself. The slander of the wretch who could not even avoid an oppo r tunity of slande r i ng even our tl ai den M onarc h was to b e d esp i se d . H e despised the ander w hi ch came from so foul and polluted a source. 8 might be " a f r i en d o f t h e peop l e, " b ut h e did not envy Ch eers and l aughter.) ti_Lord PALMERSTQN rose to reply to the observa 813 hf the Hon. and Learned Gentleman with respect to d e e r i um• The Hon. and Learned Member had misun aPoltood what had fallen from his Noble Friend last night jt that subject. His Noble Friend h a d not relied upon ie nt history, b ut upon the actual state of the law of Europe at present. The state of the case was simply this ti:y.the treaty of Vienna were a dded now formed gdora of Belgium were added to K-::„M, and then formed the kingdom of the Netherlands. The Duchy of Luxemburg, although held by the King of the Netherlands, was separated from Holland, and was held by him under a different title, and would be transmitted in a different line. The King of the Netherlands, as King of the Nether lands, was not a member of the German Confederation, ho sat in that confederation as Duke of Limburg and Lux• emburg. The insurrection which broke out in Belgium extended itself throughout those Duchies, and the King of the Netherlands, finding his own means insufficient to maiataia his authority in these Duchies, appealed to the fire Powers who at the Treaty of Vienna had entered into engagements and seated him on the throne of the Nether lands. rep Ave Powers were averse to use aggressive means, and therefore by another trcaty,to which all were consenting parties, he erected the provinces which had formerly consti. tuted Belgium again into the kingdom of Belgium. The five Power , did not think themselves empowered to deal with the Duchies of Luxemburg and Limburg. The German Confederation might employ force to restore the rights of the Grand Dukes if they pleased. The Con ference ceuld only deal with the question as between the King of the Netherlands and his subjects within the limits of the Netherlands; and accordingly they entered into a treaty which constituted the provinces forming Holland. In 1792 again the kingdom of Holland, and the other provinces not included in the two Duchies, formed the king dom of Belgium. It was one of the fundamental rules of the German Cenfederation that no Duchy within the Con federation could be given away to any but a Member of the Confederation, without the full consent of the Diet. The Conference had no objection whatever to the arrangement wished for by Belgium, and they said " Get the consent of all the parties, whose consent by law i 3 necessary, and we will not object." The Belgium Government consented to the terms proposed by the Conference, by which part of Luxemburg was to be added to Holland, and in order to make amends that part of Limburg should be added to Luxemburg. Those terms formed part of the,24 Articles. The Belgian Go‘ernment accepted these articles in October, and in the November foliowing they were formed into a Treaty, which was concluded between the King of Hotbed and the five Powers, and from that moment it became a solemn treaty binding upon Belgium and the five Powers. The Learned Gentleman said that the five Powers had not carried out the treaty in its full force. Ile ( Lord Palmerston) might say that the five' Powers were divided on the subject; the other three Powers taking a different view of the subject from that taken by France and England. The Belgian Govern molt, however, had at various periods invoked that treaty as the charter of their rights, and the covenant on which they claimed fair end full compensation; therefore it would be unjust that the Belgian Government, who for eight years had been asking for the protection of the treaty, should be allowed, when it suited their own purpose, to break through it. The Conference had token into consi deration the great war expenses, and had awarded that a sum of 68,000,000 of florina, nearly 5,000 0001. sterling, should be struck off the debt due front Belgium to Hole land. By these Articles by which Belgium was bound, ,lie was precluded front interfering with any part beyond her own limits, and if she attempted such interference, it would be as much an act of aggression as if the army of one power were to cross the frontiers of its neighbour. So far from its being any injustice to refuse to add Luxem berg to the kingdom of Belgium, it would be an act of the grossest injustice to attempt to do so, and it would be a violent porters-ton of right to make it appear there was any right to add it. It was far from the wish of the Conference to assume a power to hand over 300,000 people to a Sovereign whom they had no Vio 1,11 to be placed under. All the Conference does is to leave them where they are planed, and to acknowledge the principle so well laid down before. The Hon. and Learned Gentle• men stated what did not ;Tidy to what the Conference had done, but to what they had refused to do. In regard to the inhabitants of those provinces, that was a matter which neither he nor the Learned Gentleman could state front any authority. He did not believe the inhabitants of those districts felt very strongly on the subject ; but all t bat Great Britain said was, it was not proper for her to join in any act of violence. The Hon, and Learned Gentleman lied made the same remark on the conduct of the Prussian Government. The conduct of that Government had been one of liberality, and therefore it was to be inferred that the case must be one of great peculiarity which could in• duce that power to deviate from those principles. Mr. SHAW here rose, and stated that it was his wish to avoid every appearance of misrepresentation in regard to what had been stated in respect to the appearances at the spot where Lord Norbury had been assassinated. That spot, it seemed, had bet n visited immediately after the act by many members of his own family. One of them was a young boy who stood in a certain position, in order (as we understood the Hon. and Learned Gentleman) that a draw ing might be taken, and the print of this young gentle man's boot remained impressed in the soil.—( Hear, hear). That was the simple fact. The Hon. and Learned Gentle man ( Mr. O'Connell) might not have mentioned the name of the present Lord Norbury in connection with the murder, but he seemed to wish the fact to go forth to the ccuntry that the murder was done by a member of the family, when ho stated that the impression on the soil was that of the boot of his younger brother. That certainly was the impression that was made on his (Mr. Shaw's) mind, that it was the wish to convey a feeling that the murder was committed by a member of that family. Mr. Shaw proceeded to say, that recently, when a Protestant clergyman had been fired at, two persons had been seen who had thrown off their coats. On their attempting to make their escape, the crowd assembled, opened, and received them, and threw off their coats, and by that means effectually concealed them. Having been brought to speak on the subject of Ireland, he must say that it was not unnatural for the seconder of the Address—as an e:sglish gentleman—to make the mis take he did ; but, n tne present state of Ireland, he would contend there was no >ecurity for either person or pro perty, when it was evident the law could not be en forced in that country, when in one year there 242 attempts at .nurser had been recorded, and when there had been 20 such cases between one Assize and another —and for ad this state of things the only remedy proposed by her Majesty's Ministers was the introduction of Muni cipal Reform. This reform was considered all that was essential to the interests of that country. Nothing more was recommonded by the Speech. if the Noble Lord whom he now saw In the House had no measure to propose for the good of thaecountry—if no measure was to be in troduced either into this or the other House, in conse quence of this lamentable state of things, he (Mr. Shaw), should feel it to be his duty to propose some measure him self to the House on that subject. He should, however, wish to hear from the Noble Lord if he bad any intention to bring forward any measure. Mr. O'CONNELL said the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman had certainly given a very satisfactory explanation of the fact that the mark of the boot of a well dressed person had been impressed in the soil where the murder of Lord Norbury was perpetrated; but it was very extraor dinary that he heard it now for the first time ; and it was also very singular that it had never found its way into any of the Newspapers. The story of the Protestant clergy man who the Learned Gentleman said had been fixed at, was told now for the first time. He should like to know his name. (Mr. Shaw mentioned a name, which we could not catch.) Mr. O'Connell said, Oh, that occurred some time time ago. The Evening Mail stated that " the assassin wore a fashionable boot," and that was a very different story from that of the Hon. and Learned Member. That Learned Gentleman had also spoken of the immense number of murders and assassinations that had taken place in Ireland. Now he (Mr. O'Connell) believed if the two were compared, there would be found to have been seven to one more in England. Mr. PLUMPTRE could not but express his deep regret that her Majesty's Ministers had not thought fit to take any further notice of the disastrous state in which Ireland was placed, than the allusion made in one of the paragraphs in her Majesty's Speech with respect to the reform in the Municipal Corporations in that county. He felt deeply the fearful situation in which that country was at present placed. It had become a land in which the proprietors of the soil themselves were prevented Irons re siding, in consequence of the outrages that were continually taking place. Such being the state of the country he thought that her Majesty's Ministers ought to have made a more prominent allusion to it in the Speech from the Throne, and ho trusted that it would not be the fault o the Members on that side of the House if the subject was not more inquired into.—( Hear, hear.) They had been told again and again that this measure and that measure was necessary to the pacification of Ireland. Concessions had been made, and what was the result ? Why, those concessions had been made the parent to fresh demands, but had never been attended with any prospect of last ing peace. They were now told that they must make larger concessions to the Roman Catholics. In answer to that ho would only say that he should prefer greatly a deliverance from the cruel bondage of priestcraft. —(" Hear, hear," from Mr. O'Connell.) He called upon the House to give the people of Ireland, if they could, freedom from selfish demagogues ; let the people of Ireland have the free use of the sacred Scriptures, of which they had been deprived by the most unwarrantable means.—(Hear, hear.) Ho could not agree with the mover of the Address that there was matter of congratu lation in the state of Ireland, because he considered that the circumstances in which that country was placed, were of a far more painful than congratulating nature, The Hon. Mover of the Address had stated that he should find comfort in looking to the wisdom of Parliament. He could not agree with him in that observation ; in fact, looking at the whole of the Speech from the Throne, the only part of it which he approved of was the last sentence, where her Majesty implored the assistance of the Almighty to aid Parliament in its councils, firmly believing as he did that the only sure refuge and strength of nations was the Supreme Being. With re gard to the amendment moved last night he knew not whether the circumstances they were obliged to consider were attributable to the Reform Bill or not, but if they were ho for one would not be a finality man, because he con sidered that the Reform Bill needed reformation.—( Hear, hear.) At the present moment there were large numbers of persons meeting in the metropolis who called them selves Delegates. What the purposes were for which they met he would not pretend to say, but ho considered such assemblies dangerous and unconsti tutional.—( Heir, bear.) He was the last man to deny to the people the most extended rights, but when they were anxious to obtain those rights they must adopt con stitutional means. That House was always open to them, and their proper course was to petition it for a redress of their grievances.—( Hear, hear.) He could not but think that the meeting to which be had adverted was for th e purpose, if possible, of terrifying.—( Hear, hear.) With respect to the alteration of the Corn. laws, which had been adverted to, ho would only say that there was only ono feeling in the county which he represented, which was, that the present Corn-laws should not bo altered. He considered that a fixed duty upon foreign corn was in expedient, and that the landowners ought not to be con sidered selfish because they eished to maintain the exist ing laws with respect to corn ; it being his firm belief that they desired their continuance because they believed them to be for the advantage, not only of the agriculturist, but the community at large.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. LANGDALE said, that as long as he should hare the honour of a scat in that House, he could not allow an opportunity, such as had been presenta&tol7n;WtTle speech of the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, to THE SUN, LO pass without strenuously contradicting the statement that the Scriptures were a panacea for the evils of the country. The county which that Gentleman now represents, has very lately exhibited scenes which would induce us to be lieve that the unlimited reading; of the Scripture, would lead to every thing that was bad and disgraceful. It sur prised him to hear that Gentleman so zealous for the in discriminate reading of the Scriptures when they produced such bad effects in his neighbourhood.—( Hear, hear, and cheers from the Irish Members. ) Mr. HUME said that with regard to the statement of the Noble Lord on the Belgian Treaty, he was not fully in possession of so much knowledge as would give him to understand at what period the conference was renewed. He has not told us how soon after the taking of Antwerp the Conference was desired, or at what period after that event it was renewed. lam chiefly induced to put this question to the Noble Lord for the purpose of knowing, was it intended that the original treaty should be carried out ? After the refusal of the three great Powers of Europe to carry out that treaty, I want to know what excuse they can conscientiously offer, as the eyes of all Europe arc directed to them on this oc casion. Does the Noble Lord mean to carry that treaty out, according to the laws of Europe ? Do they ever in tend to give to Poland that constitution out of which she has been cheated. He wished to know, particularly, how they could answer for their conduct to the people of this country. He assured them that a partial corning out of this question would give great dissatisfaction. If the Noble Lord has not carried out that treaty with regard to Hol land, he has failed, or the Government of that country would have the power of altering the laws of Europe. They should endeavour not to have those laws changed. Did the Five Great Powers interfere against Holland ? Has that country been told that if she do m t comply, no compulsion will be used, but that the treaty will be car ried into effect? Lord PALMERSTON, in answer, said that at present the Belgians disowned the Conference. Early in 1832, the Conference was adjourned, but in July of that year Franco proposed to renew it again, partly on the condition that if Belgium should refuse their interference, hostilities should commence on the pert of Holland. The Conference was not renewed until March 1538. Holland or Belgium did not renew the request until that time. About that time Belgium said she was ready to renew the communications. Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to put a question as to the course to bc pursued by her Majesty's Go vernment with reference to the measures which had been adopted by the Governor-General of India. Her Majesty's Speech referred to engagements the fulfilment of which might render military operations necessary, and he wished to know whether it was their intention to lay upon the table of the House papers con taining a full exposition of the general position of the British interests in India. He believed he had not been distinctly heard. Iler Majesty's Speech made mention of certain engagements, the fulfilment of which might render military operations necessary, and he wished to know whether Knisters intended to lay before the House any papers containing an explanation of the nature of those engagements, and the position of British nifeirs in the North West of India ? Lord PALMERSTON said it was certainly his inten tion to lay all papers relating to the subject upon the table of the House. Any explanation that might be required, or any further papers that might be called for, lie should feel most happy to furnish. Sir ROBERT PEEL had another question to put re lative to the affairs of Canada. Her Majesty bad recommended that House to take the state of these provinces into its serious consideretion. H e wi bed to know what course her Majesty's Ministers in tended to pursue, and what despatches relative to the subject had been laid upon the table of the House ? It was stated that some despatches would be laid before them, and he presumed that these despatches would state the present condition of Canada, and also information respect ing the other provinces of North America. When these papers were laid upon the table was it intended that her Majesty's Government should submit to the serious con sideration of Parliament measures relating to the consti tution and government of the North American Pro vinces ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there were two kinds of papers which it was intended to lay before Parliament respecting the affairs of Canada. One consisted of the despatches that had passed since Parliament had last assembled, and which related likewise to the events which bad taken place in the other, colonies. These papers would be ready to-morrow or Friday, when they would be laid upon the table of the House. There was another paper which had been received very recently, in deed only within the last three days ; it was the report that Lord Durham had made as Commissioner of her Majesty's province of Lower Canada. He did not mean the com munications made by him as Governor, or while executing the duties of the government of that province, hut the re port which he had made as Commissioner with respect to tile Constitution, and the whole social and political state of Upper and Lower Canada, and which, indeed, likewise alluded to the state of the other North Ame rican colonies. That being a report of very consi derable length, and drawing their attention in a most comprehensive manner to all the subjects to which it related, it was impossible for him (and he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not expect it) to say decidedly what course her Majesty's Ministers would pnr sue upon the subject, until it had been fully considered. If, as he hoped, that report should be considered to be a proper foundation for the measures to be brought before, Parliament, the report would then be immediately laid be fore both Houses of Parliament, and her Majesty's Govern ment would consider it their duty to introduce a measure upon the subject. At all events, be hoped that the paper would in some measure decide the course which the Go vernment would pursue; and trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not expect him, not having received the report more than a very few days, to state more decidedly when it would be laid upon the table. Sir ROBERT PEEL was not pressing the Noble Lord or her Majesty's Government to state any particular day fur laying more papers upon the table, nor did he wish to precipitate any motion which her Majesty's Government might contemplate. But as they were called upon to as sure her Majesty that they would take the state of these provinces into their serious consideration, and as her Ma jesty relied upon them to support her firm determination to maintain the authority of her Crown, and that their wis dom would adopt such measures as would secure to these parts of the empire the benefits of internal tranquillity, and the full advantages of their own great natural re sources, he (Sir Robert Peel) inferred that her Majesty's Government, in the course of the present Session, would submit some measure upon the subject to Parliament. He was not pressing the Noble Lord, but he took for granted that it was intended to submit some measure relating to the Government of Canada. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no hesitation in saying that her Majesty's Government would submit some mea sure in the course of the present Session. He only wished that the papers to be laid upon the table of the House should not be confined to the despatches to which be had already alluded. Mr. LEADER--Surely the Noble Lord, under any circumstances, does not mean to withhold the Earl of Durham's report? Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I said no such thing. Colonel SIBTIIORP hoped that some means would bo taken to submit to the consideration of the House a return of all the expenses connected with the unfortunate com mission of Lord Durham. He thought that the outfit of Lord Durham and his suite, and all the other things connected with that measure, should be laid before the House, the public ought to be satisfied with respect to all the expenses that had been incurred. They were enormous.—(A laugh.) A measure more unsatisfactory, or a more dis graceful, a more subtle or crafty appointment had never taken place than that of the Noble Earl.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had ascertained from certain quarters that there was a disposition on the part of her Majesty's Go vernment (and no man had a worse opinion of them than himself) to withhold that return of what might be called miscellaneous estimates.—( Hear, hear.) The Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin cheered him he did not know whether that Hon. Gentleman's acute mind could understand the matter, but not a cork had been drawn which should not be fairly laid before the House. (Great laughter.) Ho believed that advances, as well as promises, had been made on the the faith of that com mission. Oh, it was a disgraceful, a shocking proceeding. (Roars of laughter.) It was one of the last commissions which he would have accompanied—he hoped the outlay for fur cloaki would also be stated, as it would form a very large item in the expenses. It was the duty of her Majesty's Government to lay all these pa pers before the House, otherwise it would be totally im possible for them to give a satisfactory vote on this measure. With regard to the Speech from the Throne, no man was more loyal than himself ; bat he had always understood those Speeches to be a sort of cover for the faults of Ministers, and to hold out promises, none of which had ever yet been performed. lie now gave notice that he would submit a motion on the subject on the 19th inst., and that he would take the sense of the House upon it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, Lord Durham had received no salary during the time he was abroad, that the expenses of his mission had been paid in the same manner and subject to the same regulations as all other special missions, and the same infor mation would be given to the House with re gard to the expenses on this mission as were given on all other similar occasions. The peculiar feeling of the Honurable Gentleman with regard to commissions led him into this line of argument, whenever the obnoxious word was mentioned; but he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) did not imagine that the House would suffer its judgment to be swayed even by references to the supposed cases so ingeniously put by the Honourable Gentleman, of fur cloaks, corks, and champagne, and whenever the question was brought before the House, it would be dis cussed upon principles totally opposite to those laid down by the Honourable Gentleman. Colonel PE RCE VAL wished to draw the attention of the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, to the assertion made by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, which tended to cast a doubt on the veracity of a near relative of his (Colonel Perceval's). The lion. and Learned Mem ber had cast an imputation on the Rev. Mr. Perceval, by insinuating a doubt as to his having been fired. The Noble Lord ought to have given immediate and distinct denial to this assertion, as from the documents laid before him in his official capacity and the rewards offered for the apprehension of the perpetrator of this outrage, l►e (the Noble Lord) must have been satisfied on this subject. If the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin doubts that that Rev. Gentleman, my relative, has been fired at, he is the only individual in all Ireland who entertains a doubt en the subject. It is undoubtedly also a fact, as as serted by his friend—(the Hon. and Learned Member for the University of Dublin)—that previously to the perpe tration of this outrage, the people of the chapel put off their coats to prevent their being recognized. He could not but express his surprise that her Majesty had not ad% erred in her speech to the state in which her loyal subjects in Ireland were placed, by the combinations and excitements to outrage and murder—combinations and excitements de riving their origin from those to whom her Majesty's Go vernment were indebted for the support of this House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—The Hon. and Learned DON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1839 Member for the University of Dublin had mentioned the circumstance of there being no allusion in the Speech from the Throne to the social condition of Ireland. It was not usual to enter into a general disquisition relative to the social state of any part of the United Kingdom, unless it was the intention of the Government to call the attention of Parliament to the subject with a view of in troducing some specific measure. If this were not the case it would be their duty in every speech to allude to the social condition of Ireland—a question connected with some historical transactions as to the state of the social condition of that country, which could only lead to very long debates without any advan tage. If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman means to ask whether it is our intention to introduce any specific mea sure to improve the social condition of Ireland, I must say we have no such measure to propose. I should ima gine that the general principles which conduce to the prosperity of other countries would also conduce to the , hear.) I believe cessation r of pery cution, p g r e o n s e p r e a r l i t yo freedom fI r el andan d . — eq ( u H al e it a y r : hea education, the relief of destitution, of the employ ment of the people, the usual and ordinary means adopted by other countries for the improvement of their social condi tion would be also useful to Ireland. If the lion. and Learned Gentleman should bring forward any measure I shall be ready to enter into the discussion of the social condition of Ireland with him, to show how that condition has been brough' about, and why it exhibits so many painful fea tures. If he has no measure by which these results could be brought about, he could do nothing better than to en deavour to restrain the passions and bridle the temper by which discussions in Ireland were characterized, and which was participated in by one side as much as the other. I really think that this would be a means of making those legislative measures, which may be proposed to this House, most extensively useful. The Hon. Gentleman So ho last sat down has not only followed the Right Hon. Gentleman, but has said most unjustly that the law was not enforced against the authors of combinations and excitements for murder. I know of no such combinations and excitements. I ut terly deny the imputation ; and if the G overnment saw any such excitements, instead of looking on tranquilly and in. differently, they would think it their bounden duty to re press them. Captain BOLDERO said that, in her Majesty's Ad dress to the House of Commons, there was the following paragraph :—" I fully rely on your loyalty and patriotism to maintain the efficiency of these establishments which arc essential to the strength and security of the country." He presumed that alludrd to the Army and Navy. The security of the country was assailed on many sides. There was war in Canada, lie believed there was war in India, and there was a display of warlike intentions on the coast of Spain, besides the supposed intentions of Russia. He hoped that when the estimates of the army and navy were laid on the table, they would be placed on such a footing that England would be prepared fur danger, from what ever quarter it might conic. He maintained that our !=trength at this moment was not adequate to the danger that threatened us. Lord M . )RPETEI wished to make one observation with reference to what had fallen from the Hon. and Gal lant Member opposite (Colonel Perccval) of his not having contradicted the statement made by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. lie certainly owed it to the lion. and Gallant Member to state that ho was in possession of no evidence which threw any doubt on the fact of the attack having been made. Mr. HUME, in addition to the observations which he made last night respecting Canada, wished to allude to the melancholy circumstances occurring in that province, which were calculated to produce a very ill effect on the public mind, both here and in America. In the Gazette, which he had received this day of the 4th of January, he found• that four more executions had taken place, and be would submit to the Noble Lord whether those executions in cold blood were not calculated to increase the excite ment which had so unhappily prevailed, and to ask whe ther any orders had been sent out on the subject ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the papers that would be presented to the House would give the necessary in formation. If the lion. Gentleman alluded to the exe cutions in Lower Canada— Mr. HUME—Upper Canada. Lord JOEIN RUSSELL—WeII, the paper will ex plain that. Ido not believe the Governors of Upper or Lower Canada will carry the executions farther than is absolutely necessary. _ _ The SPEAKER then said the House would meet at half -past one to-morrow, for the purpose of carrying up the Address to her Majesty. The House then adjourned at HALF-PAST SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS The opening of the Session has already shown the people what they are to expect, the obstacles to be surmounted, and the energies which must be put forth, in order to avert the impending destruction of our foreign trade, and with it the ruin of manufacturing capitalists, and the starvation by tens of thousands of those whom they employ. Hitherto there has been little or no conflict. The chief drawback upon tho ex pression of the public will and interest has been the disturbance of some meetings by a section of the Chart ists—the little-loaf and tin-canister-party which Tors ism has pushed forward to do its dirty work. But now the question is, whether the public voice shall have a fair and full hearing in the Legislature ? To obtain this is the first move in the game, and calls for determined ef forts on the part both of representatives and constitu ents. Considerable inconvenience has doubtless been sometimes occasioned by the lengthened remarks and desultory conversations that used often to accomplish the presentation of petitions. But simply to take care of its own convenience is not the paramount duty, nor the paramount right, of a House of Representatives. Members must submit to be inconvenienced, when not merely the convenience of the public but its deepest interests are at stake. The old custom was, on many points, a very serviceable one. It did much towards preparing people's minds for Catholic Emancipation and Parliamentary Reform. Its revival is peculiarly re quired on such a question as that of the Corn-laws. Unless the occasion be superseded by the immediate concession that evidence shall be heard at the Bar of the House, it is incumbent on those Members who have petitions to present, that they demand and exercise their right, in defiance of all convention. Only so can it be truly said that the people are heard at all. The facts and argu ments that accumulate, till they approach to morel de; monstration, are necessarily condensed into a few sen tences in a petition. The statements and illustrat:ons of the representative are essential for making known the complaints of his constituents. It is the mode in which he can best be said to represent them. Besides, the petitions against the Corn-laws come from various classes and localities. The grievance is diversified ac. cording to the circumstances of each. The subject is not like that of the slave trade, nor the observance of the Sabbath, where all petitioning parties have only the same story to tell. The mischiefs of the corn monopoly resemble the fiends, whose name was " Legion." The cotton manufactures have one branch of the great in jury to exemplify—the cutlers another. The Glasgow petition will suggest a different set of evils from that of Manchester. It is for their Parliamentary advocates to " put a tongue in every wound of their country," and to allow no conventional fiction to stifle its utterance. A specimen is afforded of the disingenuous treatment which this subject will encounter in the use made by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday night of the returns read by Mr. G. W. Wood. Those re turns indicate a fact of a ve r y a l arm i ng d escr i pt i on. They show the changing character of our exports from articles into which labour enters largely as an element. to those on which little or n o l a b our i s emp l oyed. The exportation of the former is decreasing ; that of the latter increasing. We send abroad more wool and less woollen—more metal and less cutlery ; that is to say, we are becoming venders of the m a t er i a l i nstea d o f t h e manufacture. A. more disastrous transition can scarcely be imagined. Yet in these returns, Sir Robert Peel professes to exult as a vindication of the existing sys tem. The boast is that of a beleaguered city in the quantity of guns and gunpowder that it vends to the besieging army. Exports of raw produce, or of the first forms of manufacture, come back to us in the finished article, battering away like the balls and bullets of the enemy, at tho very citadel of our prosperity ; while at every volley Sir Robert Peel rejoices in the increased demand for the mate rials of our own destruction. 'Whether the Right Honourable Baronet be the dupe of his own sophis try, or only intends others to be so, the fact that such an argument could be employed, with an appearance of success, is itself a dedonstration of the desirable ness of hearing evidence at the bar of the House of Commons. The utterer and the cheerers of this miserable perversion of facts either need enlighten ment, or deserve exposure. The people must bestir themselves in the few days that will elapse before Mr. Villiers' motion conies on. The delegates are setting about th e i r wor k i n a b us iness-like manner ; but their hands s h ou ld b e streng th e ned. Now is the time for 4etitions to tell. They have tenfold the worth within the next twelve days that they can have afterward s . E v id ence a t th e bar of the House should be th e prayer o f a l l ; i t i s t h e on ly i nv estigation worth having ; th e on l y concession which will not be an insult t o t h e pet i t i oners ; t h e on ly mo de of assault which th e monopoly cannot permanen tly repel. We dare the landowners to let the world see the ex tent of the injury they inflict upon others, without really benefiting themselves. Let the whole truth come out. Let the assertions of the petitioners be put severely to the proof. Why is so reasonable a demand likely t o b e res i ste d ? W hat more i m portant topic can possibly occupy the 'attention of a Legislature ? On what else to the exclusion of this can they busy them selves, th a t th e i r const i tuents w ill no t r egard with bitter scorn ? Only let not any atom of public inertness leave them an excuse. No town, c i ty, or borough, should furnish its representat i ve w i th t h e p l e a that he had no testimony of their desire for cheap bread. No man should dare to insult his maker, injure his fellow-crea tures, or wrong his own conscience, by praying in Church on Sunday for daily bread, if he have not peti tioned the Legislature for cheap bread. Even every one .who hesitates ought to petition fora public hearing of the evidence, that he may hesitate no longer on a ques tion affecting the means of subsistence to the great mass of the community. Thi s question puts two very different classes upon their vial —the House of Commons and the unenfranchisa I masses. The conduct of the former will show to what extent it is a re , . •epiesentation ; that of the latter tO;rhateatent it is prepared for a useful - exercise of the silting°. Short-sighted must be the selfishness that can withhold the one from granting, or the other from asking, a full public investigation of the influence of the Corn-laws. There can be no reasonable pretext of injury to either in inquiry. For it to be quashed by the one party would be intolerable insolence —for it to be impeded by the other would be insane vindictiveness. The misguided working men may already see what they have to expect of their Tory abettors. On Sunday the Charter newspaper, by the agency of an unrebuked Correspondent, proposes to try Sir RObert Peel again as Minister. On Monday the Tory Standard tells the working classes that the interest of their employers can never be their interest, and that they are much more enlightened persons than those of the class above them ; and on Tuesday Sir Robert Peel holds them up to the Legislature and the country as the lawless enemies of property. Used for a pur pose, praised in irony, kicked in earnest, if all this do not make them join the middle classes, heart and hand, for the repeal of the Corn-laws, their heads must be as empty of brains now as their bellies will soon be of bread. The infatuation is marvellous. Anterior to the fact, who could have supposes! it possible that any portion of a community should have opposed itself to the inquiry, whether it could not obtain, in greater abundance, or at a lower rate, the daily means of sub sistence ?—ilforning Chronicle. Wh.m it so falls out in the chapter of accidents that Lord Brougham expresses a right opinion, he does ex cellent service by the matchless force with which he expresses it. For good or for evil, no man alive has such a command of powerful words. No man alive can make the lorreus loquendi subservient to his will as he can, nor give vent to the boiling energy of mind in words which leap almost beyond the mark to which the meat resistless energy could aspire. We thank him for his lashing of Irish crime, and of that great public crimi nal Mr. Daniel' 'O'Connell. Not even Lord Brougham can express more detestation of a cowardly, crafty, un principled bully than Mr. Daniel O'Connell deserves ; but he has painted him well, and the picture will not soon be forgotten. The following is an extract from Lord Braugham's speech of Tuesday evening, when al luding to the speeches of the Crown law officers at the late Special Commission in Ireland What the opinions of the Law Officers of the Crown In Ireland were, as regarded what was an extra c,n spiracy, he did not know; but he had been shoe n by re cent legal investigations there, that murder was tp,,ken and treated of, concocted, plauucd, urged, and a. 6 r.J d on, done, compassed, and perpetrated, in a way, a match fir ' which, he defied any to find even in the centre of Africa amongst the savages. It was in evidence that while tl very examples of criminal justice were being made, a noble, an amiable, and a respected individual, an admirable mem ber of society, beloved by those about him, and endeared to the bulk of his tenantry as a landlord, was murdered, shot at as a beast from behind a hedge ; and 'Ai more idea seemed to be entertained of discovering who com mitted the crime than if it were physically impossible to trace the footsteps of the assassin. lie was compelled to ask himself whether all could be well in the law or police of a country where such revolting and shocking scenes occurred, and where an attempt had been made in the face of day by an impudent audacity, an enormous effron tery, an accursed malignity, to turn away from the real assassin the universal indignation of mankind, and to fix the commission of an act, atrocious whoever did it, upon one in whom to have committed it would have been a crime incomparably blacker—to think of which almost curdled the blood in one's heart. The last effort of despera.'e factious audacity had been made—this last evidence of a malignant nature crowned the whole, and made him hope that justice would be done, if not on the murderer, at least on those who only yielded in infamy td the as.sassin of the father—the assassins of the reputation of the s, n. They little knew what Englishmen are made of—they little knew what English blood boils in English veins, who fan cied that their influence with the Government would pro tect them, if they showed their faces in this country, from the universal horror and execration that attended the commission of such crimes." This is the proper way in which to speak of Mr. O'Connell. He is a man who deserves to be scouted from all political society where one spark of high and honourable policy still re:nains. He is a disgrace to the Parliament of which he is a member, and the time in which be lives. The recollection that to such a man the existing Administration has long owed its existence is one of the most humiliating and disgusting that can occur to the mind of any one who f6els as a British or an Irish gentleman ought to feel.—Morning Post.

Johnston, of the 12th Lancers, for having, on the 16th of January, at Chichester, fired a pistol loaded vii,h ball at a comrade of the name of Thomas Andrews. The prisoner, protesting he never meant to harm his com rade, threw himself on the mercy of the Court, having received a very good character from all the witnesses. He is, we understand, well connected in Scotland, and has been well educated.

THE SOUP KITCHEN AND UNIVERSAL SIIIIF FRACIA.—On Friday last, we have great pleasure in stating, it was resolved at a public meeting held in this town that the soup kitchen should be Immediately re-opened for the relief of the necessitous poor. After Wm. Chapman, Esq., had moved that tips soup kitchen be opened forthwith, and the motion had been duly seconded, J. Fife, Esq., the Mayor, who presided, paused for a moment before putting the question, looked round the room, and said, " has any gentleman any amendment to move, " that without Universal Suf frage the soup kitchen is perfectly useless ?" This simple inquiry, which was received with hearty applause and laughter, should chew the Chartists th• stupidity of opposing what Is for their benefit.— Tyne Mercury. REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—There was a Reform Demonstration in Wigtownshire—a grand ball, and other joyous demonstrations, at Newton-Stewart, on Friday, Jan. 18, in honour of Alexander Murray, Esq , of Broughton, as Representative in Parliament of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. —Dumfries Courier.

The party were di vided into five sets of combatants ; and at the termination of the game, after a great display of skill, the Kirkpatrickers were success fu lat three, and the Moffat men at two rinks. In point of shots, the advantage lay on the other side up to the goodly number of 60. Dumfries Courier. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The " Animals' Friend Society" brought many offenders before Mr. Trail last week for great cruelty to horses and asses during the frost, Lucar, George Green, Fitzpatrick, and —Bentley, were all charged by Mr. Gibbons, the agent, with having used great violence to the poor animals, in having beaten them on the nose and legs while greatly overloaded, with very thick sticks, till one of them fell. They were all fined, but not above ss. or 6i. each. We only lament the small ness of the fines for such aggravated offences, and hope in future a higher punishment will be imposed by the worthy Magistrates, with. out which little good can be hoped by the friends of humanity to re sult from their exertions. The Public Recorder of Sunday last, in alluding to the lioysl Speech, predicted that we should be " congratulated on the concluSloa of important commercial treaties with Turkey and Austria, and on the probable settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium; that the state of Spain would be deplored that our relations with America would be considered satisfactory; and, above all, that NO mention would be mule of the Corn-laws." Thiiis almost as lucky a guess as that made by Murphy on the du. ation of the last )car's frost. RIO DE JANEIRO, DEc. 14.—The 2d of December being the anniversary of the birth.day of the Emperor Don Pedro 11., was elebrated with all due honours in the city of Valencia, and other parts of the empire. The accounts sent in by the Governors of most of the provinces give very satisfactory state ments of the order and tranquillity that continue to prevail in'them. —Correia Official of Dec, I§. MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FRO➢i THE MORNING PAPERS OF TII/S DAY.) HE RA L D.—The commercial adviees from Rio de Ja neiro do not add anything to the accounts which have ap peared. It was, however, generally believed that the new credit of 3,780 contos would not be issued in London, but at Rio. That portion of her Majesty's Address to the House of Commons which recommended them to afford extra sup plies for the public service has been interpreted into the belief that Government cannot do without a loan, though well-informed parties feel assured that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will first attempt to raise the additional ways and means by an issue of Exchequer Bills. Be that, however,: as it may, the prospect of an increased expendi ture has caused the Consols and other British Securities to recede from the quotations of yesterday. Consols left off this evening at 92k for Money and Account. The Three-and-a- Half per Cent. Reduced Annuities are 1001, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99i aI. Bank Stock is 2021 a 203 Money. India Stock is 253 a 254 for M,,ney, and 2531 for Account. The premium upon Exchequer, Bills has also partaken of the influence to which we have referred, having receded to 64 0 66, whilst India Bonds have declined to 61 a 63. 'l'he Fureign Market has been rather buoyant to-day, particularly in those mighty absorbents of British capital, the Peniesular and South American Bonds. Spanish Ac tive Bondi have advanced to 181 a 19. Passive are 4a, and Deferred 8 al. Portuguese Old Five per Cents are 72; the New Five per Cent. ditto have advanced to 37 a+, and the Three per Cent. ditto, 231. Brazilian Bonds are 791; Colombian, 291; and Mexican Six per Cents. 231. French Three per Cent. Rentes are 78f. 25c., with the exchange at 25f. 40c. Belgian Bonds arc 981 a ; Datch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 541 a ; and the Old Five per Cents. 1024. R4ila - ay Shares there have been some considerable dealings Great Western we 121 prem., Brighton, 31 dis. Birmingham arc in more favour, and are 81 aB2 prem., whilst the Quarter Shares are 25 prem. South ampton average are 51 to prem. Anglo- Mexican Mint are 1 prem. British North Ame rican Bank 2 pm. ; and London Joint-Stock Bank 31, p.m. PO 3T.—The English Securities have fallen from to per cent. to-day. The Market seems to have been in uenced by last night's proceedings in Parliament, more particularly with reference to the Canada questibn, and the possibility which it involves of a misunderstanding be tween this country and the United States. The allusion made by the leading Members to our domestic affairs is understood to be viewed in by no means a favourable light. Consols . left off at 92 to 92h- for Money and for Account ; Three per Cent. Reduced Stock 92i to 93i ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1004 to 1001; Exchequer Bills, 645. to 665. prem. ; India Bonds at 61s. to 633. prem. ; Bank Stock, 2021 to 203 ; and India Stock at 253 to 254. The intelligence received from Portugal this afternoon, by the Iberia steamer, was again of a gloomy complexion. There was once more a lamentable deficiency in the last month's receipts at the Custom-houses, as compared with the previous returns, while the sante system of anarchy and bloodshed continued to be permitted in the provinces. It is said, however, that the Government at Lisbon were meditating an early resumption of the payment of the dividends ; and this has been greedily laid hold of by our speculators as a pretext for renewed gambling operations in the Bonds. The Five per Cents. have ad vanced in consequence to 37 371, and the Threes to 223- to The bargains are confined to a very narrow circle, and as the public will most likely come at once to market with their stock, in order to secure the benefit of this im provement, we may take it for granted that it is not one:of a very permanent nature. The real state of affairs appears to be this :—A rich Nobleman at Lisbon has, it is reported, been induced, upon the representation of the Government, to guarantee the foreign creditors the payment of their dividends for one single half-year, on the tobacco duties being hypothecated to him for a certain period. But the Senate could not yet proceed with the business of the country, owing to the non-attendance of Members in suf ficient numbers to make a house. The arrangement with the Nobleman in question, if, indeed, any arrangement has been entered into, may, therefore, be set aside in a moment. We have, however, so often heard of these eternal tobacco duties, that the whole matter may, wo think, be regarded as the merest farce. We find that the agents of the Christino Government arc actively circulating proposals in the City for a transfer of the national property in Spain to the bondholders, on the deposit of stock. The agents seem to be apprehensive that English capitalists cannot be sufficiently alive to the ad vantages held out to them by the acts and decrees of the Cortes in February and March, 1836, as they would other wise show greater impatience, it is conceived, to possess themselves of as large an amount of the bonds as they could possibly scrape together the money to pay for. The estates offered for sale are declared to " consist of the best house property in the various cities of Spain, and of ti,e most fertile lands adjacent to these cities, which are almost entirely in the occupation of responsible tenantry." The terms on which sales are authorised arc—that one-fifth of the amount of the purchase in stock be deposited, on which the Government grants to the purchsscr an ample title to the property, with power to enter at once into possession, and to receive the full rental without any de duction whatever, but remaining liable to the Govern ment for the additional instalments, which must be made as follow, viz. : 1-10th in Passive Stock at half-nominal amount in the 2d year, I-10th in Active do. at full nominal amount in the 3d year. I.loth in do. do. do. do. do. „ 4th do. 1-10th in do. do. do. do. do. „ sth do. 1-10th in do. do. do. do. do. „ 6th do. I.loth in do. do. do. do. do. „ 7th do. I.loth in do. do. do. do. eo. „ Bth do. 1-10th in do. do. do. do. do. 9 th do. These instalments may, it appears, be made in Spanish Stock, either of the foreign or dooestic loan;, and, as Active Stock can now be purchased under 20 per cent., it is pretended that for the outlay of 201. land, &c.,. worth 1001. can be purchased. It is added that "in order to bring the operation of this law within the reac:i of the Spanish bond-holders, as well as to render it available to capitalists generally, it has been deemed ad visable by the banking-house of Messrs. Henry O'Shea and Co., of Madrid, to avail themselves of the Govern ment permission to act in relation to these sales, in fur therance of which they have appointed Mr. E. H. Browne, of Angel-court, as their agent, for the pur pose of affording the necessary information in connection with this object, as well as to negotiate any transactions for parties desirous of availing themselves of the advan tages thus offered; and, at the same time, they name the house of Messrs. Lonergan and Co., of London, as parties to whom they refer, and through whom the bonds and do cuments necessary to the completion of purchases may pass. Messrs. Henry O'Shea and Co. undertake the agency in Madrid, as well for the purchase and payment of the in stalments, as also for the receipt of the annual rentals of the properties." We would recommend parties who may be desirous of settling with their families in Spain, and of participating in the great advantages held out to them by the paternal Government of that country, to inquire of Messrs. Loner gan and Co., before parting with their money or their bonds, by what guarantee peaceable possession is to be secured to them, for this we are very sure is not to be given for the space of a single hour. An English landlord would never, we can venture to affirm, be tolerated in any part of Spain under the present system of Government, and it is equally certain that his title would not be much respected in the event of its giving way to Don Carlos, of which there seems just now to be a greater probability than ever. As to a native tenantry, there is little chance of their paying any rent to a foreign landlord without cocr. cion, and we should think there arc but few persons so simple as to imagine that they could do themselves any good by engaging in law proceedings in Spain. It is not very clearly shown what great object the present scheme is intended to answer, but we presume there is more in it than meets the eye. TIME S.—The opening of Parliament has been attended with some agitation in the funds, accompanied by a de cline in price, which is not yet, however, of any great im portance. Considering the great extent of the sales which have been made to-day, it is surprising that greater effect has not been produced by them. The speculators, it is clear from to-day's operationf,, are preparing thus ear ly f or the contingency of a loan, but their expectations as to the amount of depression they may be able to produce seem at present to be rather moderate, and they feet that is a very different thing to act upon Consols now, compared with ten or fifteen years back, so much greater is the pro portion of Government Securities of the first class now locked up in permanent investments. By the Lapwing accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro on the 16th of December. Some disturbances had broken out at Villa Franca, in the province of St. Paul, bet they do not appear to be of a serious character. The exchange was at 281 d. to 29d. ; stock, 76 to ; the cur rent rate of interest 8 to 9 per cent. A decree bad been published which excited a good deal of dissatisfaction among foreigners, imposing an annual tax of 60 milries on the cities of Rio, Bahia, and Pernam buco, and 30 milries in the chief places of all the other provinces, upon all commercial establishments having in their service more than one foreigner as a clerk. It was considered by the English residents that this impost could not apply to them, as it was provided by treaty between Brazil and Great Britain that the subject of both nations should be at liberty to " exercise any trade, profession, or calling," without being subjected to any tax not imposed upon the natives themselves. Clerks would, of course, fall under one or the other of these designations. M. DAGUERRE S AND MR. TALBOT'S DlS covennts.—Photogenic is the titular characteristic given by H. F. Talbot, Esq., F.R.S., to drawings similar to those produced by M. Daguerre, now attracting considerable attention in Paris, and des cribed in our impression of Wednesday last, In an extract from the Quotidienne. The similarity, however, can only be asserted of the result of what be termed the secondary process, the submitting rre tattle or other plates with a certain coating to the action of the luminous rays in the camera obscure. The result being the most perfect permanent delineation of the landscape or other object projected on the prepared recipient plate. Thus far the pro ductions of the " Daguerrotype" and the "photogenic draw ings" are identical. But the primary process, the composition of the coating, or the discovery of a simple substance so susceptible to the action of lisbt, and the modeof Its use, may be widely diffe. rent. If this process should be common to both, it will not be a little singular that again, so soon after the " amaglyptegraph" of Bates and Collar, should arise another neck and neck race on the course• of experiment and research (in this car for the plate) be tween the scientific of England and France. This contest of Tal bot and Daguerre should be the only kind of struggle—la guerre of the two rival, neighbouring, and neighbourly nations. Mr. Talbot, we understand, Is preparing his paper to be read before the Royal Society, detailing his discovery, and its application to the production of these wonderful tracings of nature, these "photogenic drawings." One which we have seen, representing by light and shade the reticulation of an insect's wing, was, indeed, truly won derful. Every fibre of its complicate structure appeared to be most faithfully traced. Mr. Talbot has been engaged for several years in the scientific pursuit which has now been crowned with success. —Morning Post. _ _ _ A fine marble statue of the illustrious Goethe, exeeutel at Milan, by Marchisi, at the expense of Three citizens of Frankfort, has arrived in that city, which was the great poet's native place- The titatue Is to ornament the principal room of the public library, moos* "'"' MARKET INTELLIQEN CF• COAL MAR Per Ton. s. d.
