Hernia , .. 37 minutes after 5 Evening .. 55 minutes after 5. a Canonical Council, and two-thirds of the members of it had alvired him. to take the steps which he had adulated. Neither the Parliament nor the QUEEN pos sessed the power oC altering the rubric ; that power was vested in the Churel alone. He was perfectly willing to support a Bill for repealing the Statutes of ED WARD the ►SIXTH and ELIZABETH, which had so muds frightened Dr. CARWITHEN ; but these Statutes did not apply in ca3es of obstinate refusal to obey the rubric. lie hoped their Lordships would not enter into the consideration of the question unless they felt it was their duty to do so, but he doubted whether they had the right or power to interfere. Lord BROUGHAM deprecated all Parliamentary inter ference in the controversy which Was at present dividing the Church. As a son of the Church, lsa certainly agreed to the rule that the laws of the Church should be made by her fathers, and he certainly did not think that that was the place fir discussion upon this subject. The Bishop of Noawicu rejoiced that the petitions had been presented. There was a general feeling of opposition among the laity to anything like an approxi mation to the rites of the Catholic Church. Lions created bylaw, over animals that, beingferce naturoe, are, therefore, in terms without the pale of the law to exter minate, for his amusement either birds or beasts coming within this category, is deemed the indication of a good country gentleman—a man of mark and character. For him who has no acquaintance with fortune, either inherited or acquired by himself, who rejoices in none of the favourable conditions we allude -to, but kills, with uncertificated and unlicensed eye, haply for his own subsistence, haply for the support of his helpless children, a head or two of these animals over which he claims absolute dominion under the authority of sacred writ itself, in common with the noblest born and largest :landed proprietcr in the kingdom— for such a man to do such an act suffices to put him to the ban of society ; to deprive him of his liberty ; to subject him to imprisonment ; and to brand him wi:h felon's infamy. Mr. BRIGHT has done very well in so emphatically directing, as he has of late done, the atten tion of the public to the enormous number of convictions, fines, imprisonments, Sec., which have taken place under the game-laws within a given period. But there are other unqualified persons, who are in a condition of worldly competency, and destroy game, not for their amusement. nor yet for their subsistence, but on a fair, economic principle-of self-defence against the ravages the game commit on their crop:. To this agricultural aspect of the question, again, Mr. BRIGHT has power fully turn( d the astonished notice of many incredulous, or heretofore uninformed, on such subjects. In the pre sent day we are inclined to think the days of these laws are pretty well numbered. Mr. BRIGHT, last night, conducted the case with much skill and judgment. Ile has obta7ned one of the great objects of his so:icitude, a Committee for full inquiry into the abuses of the game laws ; and we therefore confidently anticipate that he will be ultimately successful. In the meanwhile it is amusing to observe the per tenacity with which inveterate habits wilfully close the eyes of some men to the most palpable abuses. Mr. GRANT LEY BERKELEY, we perceive, is not satisfied with the really forbearing generosity of the Press towards his pamphlet on the game-laws, from which we lately ex tracted—we trust with no want of fairness or gocd feel ing—a few exquisite mo-reau for the delectation of our readers. In that production the Hon. Pamphleteer seemed content simply to uphold the game-laws as a very useful integer of our entire scheme of statute law. In the "Reply to the Press, or the Reviewers Reviewed," now before t , , this author takes higher ground. He identifies the maintenance of this outrageous code with the upholding of the happiness and welfare of the poor. He deprecates its abrogation as one of the most mischievous innovations which the fraudulent quackery of pseudo-politicians, popularity— hunting demagogues, and specious cheats, can attempt to palm upon the country. But he unfortunately is given to be very figurative ; and we should surmise, if he as sisted at the EGLINTOUN Tournament, that he has never since got over the excitement and associations of that spectacle. Ho will talk of himself as if he were a belted knight, riding at tourney, end notwithstanding occasional lucid moments, in which he " gabbles of green fields," the ring, and Bell's Life in London, still the pervading hallucination of his mind is, that he is in the "lists, strewn," as he says, "piecemeal with the vaunt piece and braces of his armour." He runs a tilt at poor Mr. BRIGHT with the tremendous weapon of " buttonless arguments," which he constantly imputes to him, intending probably a severe reflection on the costume of that gentleman, whose straight collar and malformation of coat-skirts appear to be equally heinous offences in his eyes. Ile talks of the liberty of the press being abused " under" the " sanctity of hie situation as a reviewer." The sanctity of a reviewer is a new phase of literary charac ter, never discovered till detected by Mr. BERKELEY'S magnifying lenses. CHARLES DICKENS is furiously as sailed totnhing the " pro-poor" advocacy which p,r vades his " Chimes"—and we may add, all his other works. What he means by " surface seekers" we can not divine, but the phrase perpetually recurs throughout these pages. But there is so much fun to be had out of this " solemn fooling," that we must find another day another opportunity of noticing it. After a few words. from the Bishop of LONDON, the petitions were ordered to be printed. A conversation then ensued on the subject of the ex pedition of the ill-fated Bandeiras from Corfu, in the course of which the Earl of ABERDEEN stated that the expedition had been planned and executed in a week ; that neither himself nor Lord SEATON had any know ledge of it before it sailed ; and that on its sailing Lord SEyroN had refused to dispatch a steamer to bring it back, but had dispatched a boat to Otranto to put the Neapolitan anthorities on their guard. He deeply re gretted that Lord SEATON had not complied with the re quest that had been made to bim, for if he had dispatched the steamer there was little doubt but that it would have brought back the persons who had gone on this expedition He had no reason to believe that either the Neapolitan or any other Government had sought to entrap the Bandeiras—the very fact of the coast being unguarded contradicted such a supposition. But though he fully exonerated the Neapolitan Government from any collu sion in this matter, he did not mean to say that there had been no treachery, for he believed that there had been, but where the treachery originated, and how far it extended, he was not prepared to say. Lord BEAUMONT, who had originally put the question on the subject, expressed himself satisfied with the ex planation, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons sat at Twelve o'clock. The Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee. The House resolved itself into Committe on the Rail way Companies' Consolidation Bill, and disposcd of several clauses, after which the Chairman obtained leave to report progress, and the House resumed. The Company's Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned at Ten Minutes to Four o'clock. At five the House re-assembled, and among the peti tions presented was one by Mr. WARLEY from the in habitants of Finsbury, demanding such an investigation into the proceedings which had been adopted with re gard to opening the letters of Mr. T. DUNCODIBE, as should either justify the implied suspicions of the Go vernment or fully establish the innocence of their long tried and faithful representative. Sir R. PEEL stated that it was not the intention of the Government to take the duty off what was commonly called .‘ straw plait," but that it would be removed from plait made of chips, and of straw or grass. In answer to a question by Mr. :a UME, on the subject of the registration of foreign seamen domiciled in this country, Mr.Conrot said they would be entitled to be regis tered, on taking the oath of allegiance. Sir R. PEEL said, in answer to a question, that he should not be prepared to state the intentions of the Go vernment on the subject of Scotch banking until after Easter. Mr. Ross gave notice of a measure on the subject of mixed marriages in Ireland. Mr. BRIGHT then rose, and in the course of an able, argumentative, eloquent, and very temperate speech, directed the attention of the House to the evils of the present system of game-laws, II hich injured the farmer, by keeping up a large head of game, which destroyed his produce. Aggravated evils, arising from a scarcity of food, demorali3ed the inhabitants of the rural districts, and occasioned a great destruction of human life in conflicts between gamekeep: rs and poachers, and brought many an unhappy wretch to a disgraceful and ignominious end on the scaffold. The Honourable Gentleman concluded a speech replete with valuable information on the subject, by moving, amidst loud cheering, for a Select Committee to inquire into the subject. BOWRING seconded the motion. The question of Puseyismforrned ene of the subjects of discussion in the House of Lords laA evening. It was introduced by Earl FORTESCUE, who, in his usual calm, dispassionate, and impartial manner, adverted to the commotion excited in the diocese of Exeter by the inis. Sir J. GRAHAM thought the Hon. Gentleman had stated stillicient to entitle him to an inquiry, and, there- fore, he would not oppose the motion, and he was satisfied that the result of that inquiry would show that the-gen try of England had fulfilled their duties. Mr: V. SMITII thought the Government ought to have taken up the subject ; as they bad not done so, it would perhaps be better to delay legislation until next year. Mr. DAratY did not think that any alteration in the laws would do away with poaching. There would be always found in the rural districts idle persons, who would lather poach than work. Mr. H. BERKELEY did not oppose it, but he denied that the preservation of game occasioned the evils which the Hon. Gentleman had Anted. The House was submptently addressed by Captain Rolls, Mr. HUME, Mr. LIDDELL, Mr. AGLIONRY, Colonel SIBTII9RP, Mr. G. BERKELEY, Mr. ESCOTT, Mr. WAKLEY, Th. NEWDIGATE, Mr. COBDEN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and other Hon. Members, and the motion was agreed to. The House adjourned at Eleven o'clo?k. We are very glad that Mr. BRIGHT has renewed the Paz liatreatary discussion of the Game-laws. Under whatever aspects or rdations these laws are viewed, they must be considered an anomalous excrescence upon any system of constitutional lights which leaves, as to alt actions in themselves morally indifferent, a large latitude to the dilicretien of every individual in the exercise of those rights and that liberty of action which are assured to him—expressly, or by im pl7cation—by the general law under the protee• tion of u hich he li• es. If nature left to him a species of inherent right over the ferce a ature the wild fowl of the airline' the unreclauned beasts of the forest— the civil organization of most conditions of society, in their early beginnings, has aimed rather at fortifying and extending this right than at repressing it by arbi trary and exclusive limitations. The accidents of social in, qual.ty, in the first place produced by the creation of feudal and political distinctions, of more modern pro perty in laiels and manors, subsequently acquired by the multiplication of capital and the channels of its distribution, have 'since operated with the usual effect of accumulated distinctions and wealth. They have displaced general rights in favour of the exclusive title. The most inveterate game-preserving squire of our days will hardly deny that there can be no greater moral delinquency, in 1845, in THOMAS SMITH or JOHN JONES—the one fur his pleasure (as Mr. G BANTLEY BERKELEY would say), the other out of a landlord's consermive regard for his poultry—in coursing a hare and shooting a pheasant, or in trapping a fox, than uas ircurred by the best descended heirs of the Norman blood of the DE VERES, or the DE BIGODS, of the 12th and 13th centuries, in pur suing the roebuck, or flying their hawks at the heron or the partridge. But there are strange vicissitudes in legislation, as well as in all other human affairs. The most rooted prejudices of society, and of custom (which arc rtronger than those of society), may be made, by a continuous series of encroachments and an unrelaxing exertion of exclusive powers, not merely to give way to, but to assist in, the substitution of other pretensions in their stead. It was soon found when aDE VERE was firmly installed in the fee of his broad lands in Ox fordehire, or w hen a Dr. BIGOD was well settled in his all• but regal demesnes in Norfolk and Suffolk, that actions, in other m , n, till then considered indiffer er t, and within the law, had assumed a sudden character of the most criminal offensiveness. Your DE VEn.EB and DE Bacons 1:41. 1 .1y protested to the obscqsious law makers and the intimidated estates of the realm that, if the hind, PETER, or the ycoman,GODFREY, n as to beper rnitted any longer to eat venison, or to kill mallards, the safety of the monarchy was irretrievably compromised ; and it ssas accordingly (fleeted, not by one declaratory statute, but by many Acts of many Parliaments, " Vaud with the conaent of the Lords spiritual and temporal," that what was law as to any other species of property, in its nature not r.. anorthic, should not be law with regard to chievous pastoral letters and ecclesiastical edicts of the Bishop. His Lordship justly said, "It is not a mere , dispute about forms, and ri!cs, and dresses, and (lc cora , tions, of a perfectly indifferent kind ; but about such as are looked upon as the first steps towards the esta blishment of principles and practices for the intro ductiun of which their advocates hope thereby to open, and their opponents are resolved, if possi ble, to stop the way. The warfare is between Popish tendencies, clothing themselves with the name of Ca tholic, on the one hand, and Protestant tendencies, aim ing to carry out the Reformation to its full extent, on the other." The Bishop of EXETER defended himself pre cisely in the wt.y that might have been anticipated, and added little in his justification to what has already ap peared it, his numerous epistles addrersed both to clergy men and laymen. On referring to his speech every reacier must be struck with the peculiar and offensive feature in this prelate's character; he cannot make a speech or write a litter without giving offence, and claiming for himself power and authority, which all reweriable men hold to be inadmissable. He told the House, iu substance, that out of courtesy he addressed them, but stil he would not permit himself to ask their Lard shios to hear his defence. He was a spiritual Lord, and responsible only to the Church. Lord BROUGHAM, in a few words, laid down the law on this point, and he was loudly cheered by the House. He differed from the Bishop of EXETER. He held the " high and paramount authority of Parliament in all matters which could he the subject of disctksion, and he utterly protested against the doctrine—against acting en the opinion—that there was anything, spiritual or temporal, from which the jurisdic tion of Parliament was excluded." The Bishop again protested, as le did in the recesses of his episcor al palace, that he did not know what caused all the noise and tumult, but in a manner still more offensive to the flock under his charge. He complimented the Noble Earl at the expense of the Pro tes►ants of Devon. " I have a great advantage now," stud he, " considering the description of persons I have lately been brought in contact with, in meeting so noble and generous an opponent. Perhaps the Noble Earl will tell what all this is about." The gravity of their Lordships was disturbed, and loud and general laughter was the answer. However, it is needless to advert further to his Lordship's speech. One thing is clear. The rubrics are made a pretence for innova tion, and pretended obedience to obsolete and contra dictory canons is urged as a plea for changing the national religion. The brief remark of the Bishop of NORWICH spoke the truth. The rubrics cannot be obeyed. His words are : " The Right. Rev. Prelate had said, that as members of the Church they were under a stringent order to obey the rubrics of the Church. A stringent order to obey the rubrics ! why none of us do obey them—none of us ever have, because none of us ever can obey them." Accounts from Constantinople of the 7th inst. state that Commissioners have been appointed to inquire into the Tripoli claims. On the part of the Porte they are— FOAD EFFENDI, lately ambassador in Spain ; TAIJER BEY, chief of the customs ; BEKJ U t BEY and USSOF HA.GGAR, Turkish merchants—for France, M. B. GU, VANNY, a French merchant—and for England, the Hon. Mr. WELLESLEY, Mr. Ams3N, and Messrs. HANSON, WATSON, and LAFONTAINE, merchants. Madrid Journals of the 20th inst. have been received. It is atated that among the military prisoners made at Vittoria is the nephew of the unfortunate Dim) LEON, and that the reported insurrection at Burgos was with out foundation. Some riot had taken place, but it was mealy of a local character. The Heraldo states that the Emperor of Monocco was at Tangiers, with the view of iLspecting the fortifications erecting under English en gincers, and, according to this journal, with money lent by England. The Three per Cents. closed at 33k for cash, and 334 at 60 days ; tho Fiver per Cents. at 24a at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest, at Gi for cash. The French Chamber of Deputies has for some days confined its labours entirely to internal affairs. On Tuesday a lengthened discussion took plsce on the Coun cil of State Bill, which was adjourned. The Chamber of Peers did not sit. According to the Reveu de Paris, the object of M. Rosses mission to Rome has reference to the religious differences which agitate Switzerland, and which begun to be felt in France. The •Govern ment are desirous that the POPE should put some re straint upon the Catholic clergy of the two countries, and interpose his authority especially with respect to the Jesuits. The accounts from Switzerland are to the 9.24. A litter from Berne of that date contains the following :—" In compliance with the decision of the General Couccil of Zurich the Council of State has dis banded the trcops whom it had called out for the pur pose of opposing the apprehended invasion of Lucerne by the free corps of Argau. This invasion was pro jected, but on the remonstrances of the most influential Liberals of other cantons, and in the prospect of a prompt decision of the Diet for the expulsion of the Jesuits, TIII4I SON, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1845.1 the volunteers, amounting to more than 12,000, re nounced for the present the idea of bringing the ques tion to an issue by force of arms. Thus, while the two great cantons of Berne and Zurich arc waiting for the decision of the Diet, that of Lucerne seems to be re solved to commence the conflict alone ; for it has shown a great increase of ardour since its troops have been placed under the command of General SONNENBERG. The Deputies from the Vaud passed through Berne yes terday, and were entertained with a grand banquet, at which several members of the Government of Berne were present." Marshal S VULT has given very general satisfaction by his lenity towards the seventeen refractory students who had been expelled from the Polytechnic School. They have all been recalled, and the only punishment now in flicted upon them is the loss of one year of their stand ing as compared with the other pupils. The Fren;ll Funds were more firm on Wednesday. The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 95c.; the Five per Cents., 121 E 90c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,217 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,117 f. 50a. ; Havre, 922 f. 50c.; Spanish Three per Cents., 401; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 62. LONDON IN THE REIGN OF ELIZADETIL—A little interesting map of London about 300 years since has just bet n published. It has been drawn with much care and research, by a private gentleman, who has devoted much attention to the subject, and engraved by J. Stevenson, Clerkenwell. What strikes the observer most is the small compass of the ancient city, together with the extensive open space now occupied . by the principal buildings in the west end, and ." busy with the horn of men." We find only two houses in Pail-mall (then spelt Pell Mell), one on each sidv. Piccadilly is a blank, and between that and Oxford-street isa solitary windmill, which bad given the name to the street. On the other side of the river, with the exception of South wark, from Winchester Palace, at London-bridge, to Lambeth-house, near the Marsh-gate (and that too has departed), there appears almost a continued marsh. Only four buildings are visible, and these are known to fame—namely, the Globe Theatre, the Dill Bayting, the Bear Bayting, and the Falcon T avern , a t B an k s id e . Th e extent of the great fire in 1666 is shown by a dotted line. The map will be found very useful is reading events which took place in the days of " good Quern Bess." MONEY and . . COMMERCIAL NEWS.

There was but a very thin attendance at the East India House, on the subject of the sugar duties, to day. There cannot be a doubt but that the subject is one of considerable importance, and that the sugar of the East Indies ough&to be placed on the most favoured footing, notwithstanding the claims of the West India proprietors.

For all descriptions the demand was in a very depressed state, and Monday's figures were barely supported. In fair Foreign Wheat, as well as Grain under lock, so little was doing, that the rates were almost nominal. As the maltsters are generally well in stock, the Barley trade was very dull, and the quotations bad a downward ten dency. Malt and Oats were likewise heavy, and the terms lower.

Thus showing that the month ending February 1, as compared with the same period last year, i‘resents a decrease of 915,8591. in England, and an increase of 450,347/. in the United Kingdom. Allowance is here made fur the seven days' sight bills of the Bank of England, which were formerly included in the returns of the circulation. .... . The return of the bullion in the Bank of England for the week ending February 8, gives an aggregate amount in both departments of 15,148,5831. On a comparison of this with the return for the month ending February 3, 1844, there appears a decrease of 331,4171. PUSEYISM IN THE CITY.—A vestry meeting of the parishioners of St. Lawrence Jewry and St. Mary Mag dalen, Milk-street, was held yesterday, to receive the report of a deputation appointed to wait on the vicar, to endeavour to induce him to discontinue the use of the surplice, the reading of the offertory sentences, and the prayer for the Church Militant. To these two last points the Rev. Gentle man adhered, although he professed himself willing to yield the surplice and resume his gown. A somewhat lengthened and spirited debate took place, and eventually resolutions were adopted, appointing a committee to wait on the Bishop of London, requesting his interference to desire Mr. Burgh, the vicar, to dispense with the objectionable ceremonies. ST. MARYLEDONE BANK Fon, SAVINGS.—The 15th Annual General Meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, the 27th of this month, at the office, No. 76, Welbeck-strect, Caven- dish-square, the Rev. J. 11. Spry, D.D., in the chair. It appeared ttom the several reports read to the meeting, that the progress of this bank continues to be of a very favourable description ; no less than 2,684 new deposits having been made in the last year; 15,124 deposit accounts remained open on the 20th November last, of which no less than 9,503 held balances averaging leas than 41. ss. 10d. cads. Upwards of 350,0891. was then invested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt ; this amount has since risen to 353,089/. 4s. 7d., and is rapidly on the advance. The continued evi dence thus afforded of the strong and growing disposition of the work ing classes to provide against the casualties of life, will prove a source of gratification to all reflecting minds ; and it may indeed be hoped, that this provident disposition has its influence in improving the cha racier and conduct, materially contributing to this class of workmen being the last to be discharged whenever establishments are reduced, from scarcity of work. Tits ROYAL RUCK-HOUNDS.—The first regular meet of the Royal buck-hounds since the breaking up of the late frost, at which were present the Earl of Rosslyu, Lord St. Maur, Captain Seymour, and several of the officers of the two regimentsin garrison at Windsor, including a field of upwards of 100, took place on Wednesday, at Salt-hill. The celebrated deer Rob-Roy, which was selected for the morning's sport, upon being uncarted at Two mile Brook, took away towards Farnham Royal, leaving the village to the right, across East Burnham Park, and through Burnham Beeches, without a check, to the left of Beaconsfield, on to Holtspur gate, and thence down Holtspur-bottom to Loudwater, and was taken at High Wycombe, after a beautiful run of little more than an hour, upwards of thirty being well placed at the finish. The speed from the Beeches to Wycombe (the distance being gone over in less than forty minutes) was the fastest ever known. The line of country, being high and rather flinty, was in very good hunting order, notwith standing the late frost succeeded by the recent thaw and heavy rains. Mr. Ross Mangles paired in favour of Lord John Russell's motion with Dir. F. Hodgson. THIS DAY'S NEWS HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.) The B ouse sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. COOKSON V. COOKSON. The further arguments in this appeal occupied their Lord ships the whole morning. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of the Ludlow Charities. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls heard causes to-day, none of which were of any interest. VICE-CHANCE!‘:RY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took unopposed petitions and short causes to-day. WINCH v. WINCH. His HONOUR also gave judgment in this case, which was argued before the Court on Friday last, on two petitions, one on the part of Mr. Winch, praying that he might have the custody of his infant daughter, a child about 13, and the other by the mother of the child, praying that a reference might be directed to the Master to approve of a guardian for ber daughter. The facts of the case, into which his Honour entered at some length, are of the most painful description. It appeared that Mr. and Mrs. Winch had been separated for the last ten years, and that the latter had since that period had the custody of the child, who was very midi attached to her. His Honour, after commenting most severely on the conduct of Mr. Winch, refused to snake any order on his petition. On the part of Mrs. Winch, however, he should order that the child should still remain in her custody, and that Mr. Winch should be restrained until the further order of the Court from having any access to the child. The Vice-Chancellor in the course of his judgment stated that he had seen the child in his private room ; that she was evidently ass intelligent, though a sickly child, re quiring all the care that a mother could give her, and, as a proof of the affection borne by the chi d to Its mother, his Honour stated that almost the last words the child said on leaving him was, that she hoped he would take care of her dear mamma. In Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce's, and Vice-Chancellor Wygram's Courts, no cases of any importance took place. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) • Sub-Committee No. 2 assembled this morning, in Com mittee-room No. 6—present, Sir •J. Y. Buller, Mr. Bram stone, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Yoike, and Mr. Walker. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. The Committee proceeded with this case. Objections were taken to the books of reference, inasmuch as they did not. properly describe the property. On the plans was one num ber. and in the books of reference another. Mr. llmcwoop, for the promoters, contended that the pat ties whose property was elected could not have mistaken the property described. Mr. YouKm said this the Committee had not to consider. They must look to theletter of the standing order. The Committee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. There were fourteen other similar objections, all of which were sustained. Mr. BURKE stated, that since the adjournment, the parties on the other side and his own had come to an arrangement which would be admitted (14;ritailharensiloenl to das cer t t h a e in ca ° se iti n ec, i t g i rt s b' e. He had another peti tion to appear upon from Mr. Whitmore, but believing that he had made out a sufficient case of error against the Bill, he would not offer any evidence upon this second petition. The Committee prepared their report accordingly. Sub-Committee, No. 3, asse m bl e d t hi s morn i ng , M r . Aglionby in the chair. CORNWALL RAIL F (FROM PLYMOUTH TO This was the first line called on, and it was stat e d th a t a I , V IL AL UTH).. petitiun had been presented complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders, bearing the signature of Thomas Harvey, Secretary to the Devon Central. Mr Harvey or any other opponents having been called to appear, the Chairman was about proceeding formally with the investigation, when A gentleman, named Thomas, stepped forward and said s a o ll li t e ll it e or w , a t 3 o . give evidence in from Falmouth, at the ' r tb eg a u t e h st e o h f ad m b r e . e i n li b ie r y ou , g tt h ie t oppo sition to this line. He had seen both Mr. Tilley and Mr. Harvey this morning, but neither of them had appeared in the Committee-room. _ _ Mr. TunNER, said hat he understood the petition had been withdrawn, and that . Mr. Tilli ng h a d s i gn ifi e d hi s intention of not appearing against the Cornwall line. This, however, was denied. _ Mr. VENABLES, the Parliamentary agent, said that he had had upwards of seventy witnesses in attendance on Vied. nesday, and had brought them up again to-day. He trusted therefore that the Committee would not allow another ad journment to take place. 'the CHAIRMAN said they were placed in an extraordinary position. As they bad to consult the Speaker on a matter of business, the Committee would adjourn for a few minutes, in order to give the petitioners time to appear, if they felt so disposed. On the return of the Committee, it was found that no Par liamentary agent for the opposition was in attendance. Mr. Thomas said that his property would be much injured by the projected line and he was anxious to address the Committee on the subject of his opposition to the Bill. The CHAIRMAN had some doubt whether he could allow such a course of procedure, but would consult with the Com mittee on the matter. The room was then cleared of strangers. CLYDESDALE J UNCTIO2ii RAILWAY. The Committee reported that the standing orders in this case had been complied with. (The result will be given in our Last Edition.) Sub-Committee, No. 4, assembled at Twelve o'clock, in Committee-room, No. 7. The following were the Members present :—Sir W. Heathcote (Chairman), Mr. Wm. Evans, Air. Stewart Mackenzie, Mr. Gisborne, Mr. Packe, and Mr, Childers. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY. Mr. GRAHAM appeared as agent for the promoters of this Bill ; the engineers were Messrs. Lock aad Errington. It appeared that the object of the pro moters was to make a railway from the city of Perth, by Stirling, to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The extent of the contemplated line is 45 miles, the estimated cost being 800,0001. The line thus projected is a section of the great trunk by Birmingham, Lancaster, Car lisle, and Beatock, to Forfar and Aberdeen. There are to be two tunnels, one 190 yards, and the other 704 yards in length. The necessary proofs having been produced, the Committee declared that the standing orders had been complied with.

This was a line of railway from Belfast to Ballymena, with branches to Carrickfergus and,Rundlestone. The extent of the projected lines is 35 statute miles • the estimated cost amounts to 385,0001. The engineer is miles; Lanyon, Esq. The Committee declared that the standing orders had been complied with. NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK RAILWAY.

The total estimated cost is 1,400,0001. The Committee declared that the standing orders had been complied with. The Committee then adjourned at Half-past Ono o'clock.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-THIS DAY. SUGAR DUTIES. A Special Court of Proprietors. was held this day, at the East India House, having been convened for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the proposed distinctive duty upon sugar. Mr. SHEPPARD, Chairman of the Board of Directors, opened the business of the Court, at twelve o'clock, by stating that the Court had been specially summoned, acccrd- Mg to one of the bye-laws, to express to Parliament, by petition, the disappointment and regret of the Proprietors. at that part of the proposed alteration of the sugar duties which would impose 2s. 4d. per cwt. upon clawed or white sugars, an import that would seriously affect East India produce. 'le Board of Directors had communicated with Lord Ripon upon the subject, but although they received every courtesy at the hands of the Noble Earl, their remonstrance was in effectual.—(Hear.) A petition, which would presently be read to the Court, had been prepared, and would be presented to the House of Commons by an Hon. Director, W. Astell, Esq.—(Hear.) He might also take that opportunity of men tioning that his Hon. Friend, the Member for Beverley, had given notice of a motion on the subject. The Hon. Chair man then called on the secretary to read the correspondence with the Earl of Ripon. • The correspondence having been read, TheCnAmmaN said he was sure that the Government were not aware of the injustice which the proposed tax would do to India.—(Hcar, hear.) Her Majesty's Ministers could not he forgetful that England owed much to India.—(Hear, bear.) India paid an annual tribute of three millions ster ling to the Mother country, and was constantly pouring into the lap of England a stream of wealth, in the shape of private fortuues.—(Hear, bear.) The effect of the duty upon clayed. or white sugars would be felt but lightly in the West Indies, compared to the injuries it would do to the East.--(Hear, hear.) He trusted that, when the real state of the ease was known to the Legislature, gratitude, justice, and liberality wou ld i n d ece th em to d ea l generously with the loyal, industrious, and pet.eeful people of India.—(bear, hear.) Ile moved that the petition which the secretary would now read, be adopted by the Court, and be presented to the House of Commons by W. Astell, Esq The SECRETARY read the petition, the purport of which was emboditd in the Chairman's address. Sir H. WILL CK seconded the motion, which, after a few worth from Mr. Fielder and Mr. Weeding, in commenda tion of the course pursued on this occasion by the Board, was carried unanimously. Mr. ASTELL said he'should have great pleasure in present ing the petition and in supporting the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Beverley.—(Hear.) He agreed with the Hon. Chairman that England owed much to India, which was constantly and steadily contributing to the wealth of the British empire in Europe. There was scarcely a village in England, Ireland, and Scotland, that did not reel in some way the value of our Indian possessions, or that was not adorned by the residence, and benefited by the liberality of some retired East Indian.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. TWINING said that the request contained in the peti• tion was so reasonable, that he could not doubt it would be attended to; and he hoped that at the next meeting the Chairman would have to announce their success.—(Hear.) The Court was then dissolved. SUMMARY OF BANKS OF ISSUE. (From the Bankers' Circular.) On comparing the Returns for the past month with the total "Fixed Issues" of the several Banks, we find the following is the result:- 199 Private Banks allowed to issue • . . £5,011,097 71 Joist-stock Banks allowed to issue .. 3,477,321 £8,458,418 It appears that the following is the state of their circulation : The Private Banks arc below their fixed issue .. • • £434,202 The Joint-stock Banks are below their fixed issue.. 342,470 Total below the fixed issue— •• • • £776,672 Several of the Banks appear to have found it difficult to comply with the requisition of the recent Act, which obliges them to furnish the returns of their circulation to the Stamp-office every week, as directed by the Commissioners; for publication in the Gazelles, under a penalty of 1001. During the past Month three banks have omitted to send the returns in time, and they were obliged to be published as Supplements in succeeding Gazelles. In the course of the previous month there were also three banks which subjected themselves to the penalty. It is curious, that all the banks which have thus failed to comply with the Act are private banks. IRISH AND SCOTCH CIRCULATION RETURNS. The usual Monthly Returns for the four weeks ending Ist February, 1845, give the following as the amount of notes in circulation, Scotland.—Chartered Private and Joint-stock Banks.. • • £3,070,058 Ireland.—Bank of Ireland Private and Joint-stock Banks ••••••• • • • • • • • 3,115,066 T0ta1.... • •• •• £10,168,174 TOTAL CIRCULATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
