The Duke of WELLINGTON contended :that the right of appointing to the constabulary force was in the power of the Lord-Lieutenant,and that it was his duty to exer cise his discretion in making those appointments. The Lord-Lieutenant bad a right to make those appoint ments, and he would not consent to a motion criminat ing the Lord-Lieutenant for the exercise of a right which was vested in him by law. With regard to the return of the forces in Ireland, he did not object to it, but he would add a return of the number of troops sent away from Ireland during the same period. The Noble Lord would find nothing in these returns to commit the Government, the Secretary at War, or any other person connected with the army ; ❑or would he find anything to support his argument that an unlimited force had been kept in Ireland. Earl FORTESCUE supported the motion. Lord BR.OUGRAM thought no slight whatever had been put upon Colonel Maccrtecoa by the Lord-Lieutenant. He had himself, while Lord Chancellor, disregarded the recommendations of Lord-Lieutenants of counties in making appointments to the magistracy. The Marquis of NORMANDY replied. The House then divided, when there appeared, Con tents, 12 ; Non-contents, 32 ; majority against the mo tion 20. The House then adjourned.

Mr. BRINSLEY SHERIDAN took the oaths, and his seat ror the borough of Shaftesbury. Mr. DEEDES took the oaths and his seat for East Kent. We should regret to see the alternative, for England has already enough on her hands in India; but be tween such a consummation and an armed interfe rence in the government of the Punjaub, there can be no choice. The Affghans must be kept to the west of the Indus at all hazards. Sir HENRY HARDINGE has a difficult game to play. What wi:k the curb put upon him by the Directors, and the danger with which the British possessions are threatened, he is placed in a position more dis tracting perhaps than that of any of his predecessors; but we hope that his skill, ability, and judgment will be sufficient to extricate him with honour from the difficulty. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been re ceived, but they bring no news. Both Chambers sat on that day, and some Bills received the royal assent, among others the Slave-Trade Suppression Bill. The Three per Cents. closed at the following prices, 34i for cash, and 34i for account, and the Fives at 25i at 60 days. Several private Bills were forwarded a stage. Among the notices of motion given, was the following by Mr. WODELIOU3E, to move as an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Member for Stockport which stood firEt on the orders of the day for Thursday next, for a Select Committee to inquire into the ope tation of protective duties upon the interests of tenant-farmers, the following resolution : That an inquiry into Ustioperation of protective duties on imports, as regarded the interest of tenant-farmers and farm-labourers, was objectionable in principles if the purport of it was to show that they had a dis tinct and scraratl interest from that of their landlords, or those on whose property they chose to live ; that tho condition ofa tenant-farmers and farm-labourers did indeed deserve the most serious attention of Parlia ment, and it was the bounden duty of the House se to shape its de'iberation, as to make known to the occupiers and tenants of the soil the necessity for their having a continuance of all protective duties; and that the removal of all protective duties was averse to the generat interests of all classes of society. Mr. STAFFORD O'Bants also gave notice of his inten tion to move as an amendment, on the motion of Mr. COBDEN, that a Select Committee be appointed to in quire into the extent of mortgages on landed property in this country, and into the cause of agricultural d;streri. n answer to the same Hon.

Guizox replied. The ex-Minister said he re garded the discussion as personal; it was an affair be tween himself and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir R. PEEL stated that the remission of the duty on suds would take place after the present sowing, and that clover seed would not be included in the list. THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET. LESSEE, MR. I .

He, in substance, said, if the present Ministry, which is essentially Con servative and peaceful, is turned out of office, there is no security for the tranquillity of the world. That was a manoeuvre to which recourse had been had on another occasion. Certain of the Cabi- In answer to Mr. S. WORTLEY, Sir R. PEEL, on the part of the present, and Lord PALMERSTON on the part of the late Government, denied that there was any truth in the report that this country had ever offered to purchase California of the Mexican G over nment. The report on the Property-tax Bill was postponed till Monday. On the motion that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. W. Wmaiszirs entered into a long explanation on the subject of the motion of which he had given notice for the preceding evening, relative to the sale of the Hafod estate. After a few words from Lord LINCOLN, Mr. HUME, end Mr. MAcitINNoN, the subject dropped. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he should propose going into Committee on the Customs' duties on Monday, if time would permit. Mr. COBDEN, on the question that the Speaker do leave the chair, said that, as they were going to vote a certain amount of protection to the colorial proprietors, he thought there could be no objection to that amount being ascertained. He calculated it at 2,500,0001., an mount that would enable Government to repeal the soap and window duties, and leave a srAplus of half a million to devote to other purposes. _ _ _ nets which preceded the present had been described as begging their existence, and that language had also been applied to one of which he had the honour to form part. He would not fear, however, to contrast the condition of the present Ministry, which had only A long discussion ensued as to the accuracy of Mr. COBDEN'S calculations. Eventually the House went into Cowwittee. from four to eleven votes, with that of a preceding one, which having but a majority of eight votes dis solved the Chambers, not contenting itself with a majority which appeared to it insufficient. What similarity, he would ask, was there now between these two positions ? It was sought to divide the Conservative party, which, however, in returning the strength of cohesion, knew how to save the country and its institutions from the excesses of extreme parties. The Noble Peer then passed to the examina tion of the acts of the Cabinet of the 15th of Apt and justified the amnesty and the measures adopted by it. He declared that if the present Cabinet persisted in regarding all concession as dangerous, all movement as a peril, it would compel the representatives of the country to make use of their privileges, and force the Minister to adopted reforms required by circum stances. M. GurzoT, in reply, attacked the policy The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then proposed bis resolutions on the subject of the sugar duty. A long conversation followed, in the course of which Mr. Hoco expressed his concurrence in the alterations proposed by the Government, and in the classification of sugars proposed by them. The East India Company were satisfied with the measure as it then stood. Several amendments were proposed by different Hon. Members, and withdrawn. One amendment, however —that proposed by Sir W. CLAY—the effect of which would have been to impose a duty of 4s. Bd. per cwt. on sugar instead of the duty proposed by the Government, was pressed to a division. It was negatived, the numhers being—for the emendment 69, against it 152; majority against the amendment 83. The remainder of the clauses were agreed to after a short discussion. The House rzsumed, and the report was ordered to be re neived on Monday. The House adjourned at One o'clock. of Count MOLE whilst Minister, reminded the Cham ber that in two years he had twice dissolved the Chamber without effect, and considered it much bet• ter to carry on the Government rather with a small majority than incur the risk of further injuring the Conservative patty. Count MOLE, in answer, made some more personal remarks, said M. GuIZOT, not he, had deserted the Conservative party. He re- , . mained unchanged, and opposed the Ministry be cause it was in a false position, and opposed to the wishes of the country. M. DUCHATEL followed, and Count MONTALEMBERT WaS left speaking. We have accounts from Zurich to the 2d of March. The discussion on the Jesuits was still continued, and not concluded on that day. We are therefore in clined to believe that the statement in the Commerce, announcing that a division had taken place, was in correct, though we have no doubt the result will be as stated—a majority against the Jesuits.

Every mail from India brings only additional proofs that sooner or later, willingly or unwillingly, the Governor-General, however peaceable his disposition may be, will be compelled to take a part in the affairs of Lahore. Since the death of the " Old Lion of the Punjaub," RUNJBET SINGH, the country has been a constant prey to the most frightful disorders—to plots without end, the murder of chiefs and prime minis ters by their nearest relatives and most confidential friends, and the unbridled fury of a mercenary and lawless soldiery. Revolution succeeds revolution rather as natural events than the work of man ; no sooner is one Raja set up than he is pulled down by some unsuspected enemy, who succeeds only to give place to another who happens to have more money, more interest with the Seikhs, more influence over the Pretorian guards, or who excels in cunning and treachery, and dares to commit crimes surpassing those of his predecessor. The last s_avlution has led to the murder of many chiefs anepersons of note, whose heads after the vic tory were carried in triumph on pikes through the streets of Lahore, and more than two thousand lives had been sacrificed for the purpose of gratifying the ambition of an aspiring and daring woman, who will probably be the next victim, along with the puppet of a llaja—a child—the last placed on the throne Se long, however, as the existing authorities adhere to treaties with the British Government, and abstain from invasion of the frontier, some persons imagine that we can have no grounds for interference in these endless quarrels and massacres. But that is taking only a very limited and imperfect view of the ques tion. A nation which is constantly in a state of revo- lution must ever be an object of anxiety and alarm to its neighbours : vast numbers of the defeated parties make their escape into the adjoining states, and re turn on some new outbreak ; peaceful alliances are disturbed, trade and intercourse are interrupted, and fears excited that the spirit of anarchy may become infections, and compel either an active interference, or what is little better, the maintenance of a large army on the borders, kept in constant readi ness for action. It is evident the British Government cannot submit long to such a state of affairs, but sup posing it observed the utmost patience, and remained satisfied with guarding its own possessions against all attacks, what hope is there that affairs will improve ? Is England to be burdened with the expense of keeping a cordon of troops to protect the frontier against lawless hordes, who oppress not only the natives, but injure and perhaps ruin the most indus trious portion of her own subjects, by the total de struction of commerce, and by wasting one-half of the advantages obtained by throwing open the Indus ? There is, however, another and more material consideration. A constant state of anarchy—and there appears no hopes of any change—must weaken the kingdom of Lahore, render it an object of ambition to the states on the west, and, above all, to Aflgha nistan, which still claims sovereignty over a great portion of that fertile and important district. Already AKBAIt KHAN th rea t ens P es h awur. If anarc h y prevail he may acco m pli s h hi s ob j ect, and someth i ng more. With the assistance of neighbouring tribes, allured by the prospect of plunder, he may descend into the plains, occupy Lahore, and threaten the Bri tish possessions in the most vulnerable quarter.

Mr. Frederick Lemaitre appeared last night in his greatest character, that of Robert Macaire in .1 . ; Aulurge des Adrets. It is not, however, the first time that Lemaitre has appeared before an English audience in this character. Some seven or eight years since, his Robert Macaire stamped him, in the mind of the English public, as the greatest of actors. If anything, time has improved him, and we never before saw him so great as he was last evening. To personate the character of Eobert Macaire, it is necessary to unite the extremes of gen tility and rascality. It would seem almost as if the author bad tasked himself to illustrate that line of Shakspeure which tells us " The I'riice of Darkness is a gentleman." He certainly has succeeded, a merveille. Never was there a being so fiend-like, yet so polished. We believe that Robert Macaire and George IV. were contemporaries. if so, the latter has no title to be considered the first gentleman in Europe. He must yield the palm to Robert Macaire, who unites in his own person the two extremes of the social scale. He is the most accomplished blackguard that ever was imagined—the prince of cut-throats—the founder of the swell-mob—Captain Macheath, Robert Macaire, Fra Dia volo, alike; but, oh, how different! Circumstances made them what they were. Had circumstances been different, the first might have been a Wellington, the second a Talleyrand, the third a Salvator Rosa. Macheath and Macaire may be taken as the incarnation of the two great principles which divide the world at the present day. Macheath is the repre sentative of physical, Macaire of moral, force. Robert Macaire is the great diplomatist of the felonry of the world. How easily does he ease his partner in the dance of all her valuables while whispering soft nonsense in her ear. How completely does he keep Bertram as his slave by the indescribable squeak of his snuff-box—and then his manner of taking snuff—how superb—how magnificent—how commanding. True, he is in rags, and the outward man bespeaks anything but wealth and high station ; but hear him speak—see him take snuff — observe the air with which he gives his orders, and who can doubt but that be is some rich and high-born aristocrat, who has assumed the guise of a beggar out of eccentricity to enjoy a joke. You would take him for any thing but the thing he really is—a thief out of luck. How Talleyrand would have adored him. He never commits a mistake—true, he com mits many crimes, but never a useless one. If success be the test of genius, then is Robert Macaire the greatest genius that ever lived—he always succeeds. The distinguishing characteristic, however, of Robert Ma caire is the refinement of his manners—he is the most po - lished of prigs—the very Chesterfield of conveyancers. No doubt he was executed ; but we would venture a small wager that when he ascended the scaffold, bowing to the execu tioner, he apologised to him in the most polite terms for the trouble he was about to give him, and, neatly picking his pocket, flung the proceeds of this his last " business transac tion" among the crowd, and having lived un mauvais sujet, thus died with the reputation of un bon enfant. Never was the magical power of the refined over the vulgar mind more beautifully exemplified, than by Frederick Lemaitre as Ro bert Macaire. A vagabond in outward appearance in clothes —not worth a sous—with a hat that the most abject beggar would not have picked up in the street—uncombed, unshaved, unwashed—he appears among a part of happy and comparatively speaking, wealthy peasants, at an inn, and in five minutes, by the mere force of manner, obtains an ascen dancy, and a supremacy over them, that all are ambitious of his notice, and the prettiest girl in the party—the adored of all adorers—thinks it an honour to be permitted to dance with the fascinating stranger. It is not often that in a mo dem play we meet with a character; but Robert Macaire is a character—and never was any character more ar tistically pourtrayed than is that of Rubert Macaire by Frederick ',maitre. In fact, we almost be lieve that the author of the piece himself was not aware of the capabilities of the part until he saw them deve loped by Frederick Lemaitre. The author furnished the sketch—the actor has filled in the picture. Lemaitre has, to make use of a Gallicism, created the character, and never has a more perfect creation been exhibited upon any stage. Never, since the French company has performed here, has the theatre been so crowded. It was literally a bumper, even standing room was at a premium, and never has any pei;orm•- ance been mare enthusiastically or more deserved applauded. 1% 21/s 22% 51h 6% COL R.T. CIRCULAR.

The Committee proceeded with the petition from the promoters of this railway. The Committee proceeded with the evidence upon the promoters' plans. Some discussion arose as to the situa tion of some powder mills. It wa s alleged in a petition, presented by a Mr. Thomas, but u p on which the Com mittee had decided that no one could appear, that cer tain buildings had been omitted. It appeared that a small building about the size of a pig-sty had been omitted. Mr. BURKE contended that the promoters could not answer this objection, inasmuch as they had seen no allegation respecting it. The CHAIRMAN said the duty of the Committee was to ascertain whether the standing orders hail been complied with. Standing orders not complied with in the above respect. THE PRESERVATION or rICTURES. Mr. Day, whose energetic efforts for the introduction of a cheap and efficient system of ventilation into the dwellings of the middle and poorer classes, and whose many inventions for carrying out so philanthropic a purpose has been often alluded to, states in his lectures that the want cf r . t free supply of fresh air, in apartments where valuable pati . !ting . s and delicate works of art are kept, is the cause of their injury and conse quent deterioration in value. Mr. Day instances the rapid appearance of dry-rot in furniture, and in the floors and wainscotting of those rooms where the windows and doors are not often opened; the same effects following in other cases, in comparison to the want of proper and judicious ventilation. Music.—Mr. Henry Russell, it would appear, is as successful in bringing crowded audiences to hear him in the provinces as he ever has been in the metropolis. His vocal abi , ities a r e certainly of that order with which all are generally pleased ; and a clear and distinct enunciation, allied to a rich and full voice, are gifts so rarely met with that no surprise need be expressed in th e enthusiasm with which lfr. Russell is everywhere greeted. His melodies, descriptive of the negro character, are given with . great truth g 7n u e s h h° h:cco ls m ir p . and nature, and the singer must have studied very closely adds considerably to the the habits and eccentricities of this amusing class of th's aßniuessshelilmisselaf,first-rate .proficient upon the pianoforte, and his great command over this instrument, upon de lightw of all who listen to him. He is expected back shortly from the provinces, and will then resume his concerts at the RalloYer - nuare Rooms. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, MARCH B.—Wind ITT., strong breeze, and fine.

Accounts from Messina state that a large deficit had been discovered, or was reported to have been discovered, in the funds of the Municipal Bank, where a lodgment of 900,000 ducats of the Government money had been made; one thing at least being certain, viz., that the Bank could not pay the Sicilian Treasury bills issued to the prize holders in the recent lottery. There is, apparently, but one way of getting on in the sugar market, where business for the last few days has been duller than ever, and this plan has to-day been adopted by a leading broker's firm. A large quantity of Mauritius sugar is to be offered, upon condition that the buyers shall have it at the low duty if agreed to. The progress of railway Bills in Parliamentary Com mittees excites much interest, and all manner of reports are current for or against particular lines. It has been stated that the Direct Northern lino " stands a better chance of success than its opponents are willing to allow, but in answer to this, the fact may, perhaps, be adduced, that if this line is better in price to-day, so also is- the Lon don and York. The South-Eastern Company is reported— but we merely state it is a report—not to have complied with the standing orders relative to the new branches, while the Churnet Valley Company, which was also reported to be in the same predicament, is now declared, by parties con• nected with it, to have done all that is necessary, and to be confident of success. The various reports of the Board of Trade are read with great interest, and seem to give as much satisfaction as could be expected. The Funds are extremely quiet to-day. Consols realize 99% to par. There have been no time bargains. Bank Stock for Account is 214. Exchequer-bills are firm at 635. to 655. premium. The Foreign Bonds are buoyant. Portuguese Converted have touched 68 for Money. Spanish Five per Cents. are 29% to %—a further advance; the Threes are 41 to lA. ing spectacle, the bowels of Chapman protruding, and the features and person of Wright and Grimes being much disfigured. - From the interest excited in the neighbourhood, and the number of respectable inhabitants assembled to wit ness the proceedings, the prosecution of the inquiry was adjourned to the Town Hall. Mr. Joseph Samuda, Mr. Braithwaite, and several other scientific engineers, were present. The first witness called was James Cole, foreman of the labourers. He identified the bodies of the deceased persons as being labourers in the employ of Messrs. Samuda and Co. On Wednesday morning last, about half- past nine o'clock, witness saw all the deceased in dividuals at work on the premises. In a short time afterwards witness heard a load report, and then dis covered that the boiler attached to the steam-engine had exploded. Witness, with several other men, im mediately ran to the spot, and assisted in removing the rubbish. Just in front of the spot where the boiler stood witness discovered the body of Wright, who was found lying on his face, covered with bricks and rubbish; he was quite dead. The b,idy of Chapman was discovered close to Wright's; he was also quite dead ; his bowels were protruding. The deceased Richard Grimes, was standing on the top of the boiler immediately before it exploded. His body was picked up on the opposite side of Bow-creek, on the Essex side of the river Lea, a distance of upwards of 100 yards from the factory. He was alive. He was placed in a boat and conveyed back, but he died in the boat on his way across. His body had the appearance of being scalded by boiling water. Witness knew nothing of the boiler, nor the cause of the explosion. At the conclusion of this witness's testimony, the Co- RONER inquired of the constable (Mr. Thompson) who was to be called to speak to the facts of the case ? when Mr. Joseph Samuda stated that Mr. Lowe, the manager of the works, and who was superintending the working of the boiler on the morning of the explosion, was him self so much injured that he was at present unable to at tend to give evidence, but he (Mr. Samuda) was most anxious that every facility should be afforded for a full investigation of the unfortunate occurrence; and as. soon as Mr. Lowe was sufficiently recovered he would appear before the court. The CORONER said it was very desirable that the best evidence should be adduced which could throw light upon the transaction, and he thought that it would be better to adjourn the court for a day or two to admit of Mr. Lowe'a attendance. When (addressing himself to Mr. Sarauda) do you think that Mr. Lowe will be able to attend ? Thompson (the constable) said, Mr. Bain, the surgeon, who attends Mr. Lowe, is present, and can speak to that. Mr. Bain—Mr. Lowe, I think, will be able to attend the court in three or four days. The CORONER — Then I think we had better adjourn until Monday next. Mr. Joseph Samuda here addressed the Coroner, and said that, with respect to the boiler in question, Mr. Lowe, who was his manager, had about six weeks ago expressed a wish to him (Mr. Samuda) that he might be authorised to purchase another boiler in the room of the one they then had in use. That he (Lowe) said he knew of a boiler at Mr. Fairburn's, which had been manufactured for one of the Watermen's steam boats. It had only been worked in the steam-boat about ten or twelve times; but although it was too small for the engine on board, it would answer very well for his (Mr. Samuda's) engine, He (Mr. Samuda), in conse quence, gave him authority to purchase it. This boiler was quite equal to new. It was set up, and Mr. Lowe said he had tested it to 30 pounds to the square inch, pre vious to its being attached to the engine, and set to work. Mr. Stanley, foreman of the jury, said it would be ne cessary that practical men should be examined as to whether the boiler in question was sufficiently strong, and capable of sustaining a pressure of 30 pounds to the square inch. A juror—l think that the jury should visit the locus in quo, and inspect the boiler and the premises. CORONER—I have no objection to do so this afternoon, previously to our adjournment. Mr. Joseph Samuda said that a great deal more in formation would be derived by the Coroner and jury by a personal inspection, and in anticipation of their doing so he had left everything in the same state as it was found immediately after the explosion took place. He (Mr. Samuda) begged to add, that Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer, was present, from whose drawings the boiler had been built, and he wished those drawings should be inspected by the Court, previously to the premises being visited. Mr. Braithwaite had them with him. Frederick Braithwaite deposed as follows :—I am an engineer, residing in the New-road, Fitzroy-square. I produce the working drawings, from which the boiler iu question was made. It was manufactured by Messrs. Fairburn and Co., of Mill-wall. The boiler is what is termed a tubular one. It was intended to drive a pair of 25-horse low-pressure engines on board the Water man steamer No. 11. It was made for that purpose, and had been used about ten or twelve times; but from the very great insufficiency of steam, it was taken out, being much too small for that engine, and not again used for engines of that power. I last saw the boiler in Messrs. Fairburn's premises, close to the water side. This was many months ago. I did not see it again until yesterday morning on Messrs. Samuda's premises, after it had ex ploded. Ido not know when Messrs. Samuda purchased it of Messrs. Fairburn. By a juror—l think the boiler had been made about eighteen months, certainly within two years. There are stays in the boiler. By the CORONER—The 'boiler.was built entirely on the part of my partner, Mr. John Milner, and his bro ther, Mr. Alfred Milner, and on their responsibility. I saw it worked on board the steam-boat, when the valve was loaded fifteen pounds to the square inch. By a juror—Was the lever exposed ? Mr. Braith waite—lt was ; and consequently it was in the power of the engineer or stoker to put what pressure he pleased upon it. At the conclusion of Mr. Braithwaite's examination, the Coroner and jury proceeded to Messrs. Samuda's premises, to inspect the exploded boiler and the premises which had been destroyed, and were evidently much as tonished at the devastation which had ensued. The Court was subsequently formally adjourned until Monday next. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. A meeting of justices of Middlesex took place on Thursday, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the transaction of county business. There was a numerous attendance, nearly 100 magistrates being present ; Mr. Pownall, in the chair. The minutes of the last court were read and confirmed. HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correc tion was brought up ; it stated that the number of prisoners who were in confinement at present was 881, of whom 638 were males, and 243 females, with eight children. The re port was received. The report of the visiting justices of the Westminster Bridewell stated that the gaol was in proper order, and out of 500 prisoners of both sexes, there was not. one in the infir mary.—( Hear. ) THE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD. A special report from the keeper of the New Prison, con taining a mass of correspondence which had passed between thelteeper, Sir James Graham, the coroner, and several ma gistrates, relative to Mr. Wakley'e reiterated request to have the prisoner Hocker brought before the inquest at Hamp stead, was read. It appeared that the authority which ena bled the keeper ultimately to permit the prisoner's appear ance before the coroner's inquest emanated from Mr. Pownall, who acted as a visiting justice. This act, which was in op position to a recorded resolution of the visiting justices onthe subject, gave rise to a warm and animated discussion. Mr. BOTCH said it was impossible that the court could pass over this report in silence. The question as to the power of magistrates to enlarge a prisoner committed in due course of law could not remain in the state in which it was. The highest authority in the State had been applied to for directions upon the subject, and his reply was a letter which no one could act upon, and which left them just as wise as they were before—(A laugh.) He would ask, was that creditable to the Home-office ?—(Hear, hear.) They certainly had a, very active and very clever coroner; but that gentleman's object clearly was to make his court of more importance than the common law intended it should be, and this had led to what he (Mr. Rotch) con sidered a great invasion of the liberty of the subject; for, by the coroner's repeated adjournments of the inquest, an inno cent man had been incarcerated for several days, from Thurs day to Monday, in the lock-up house, a miserable hole, the cage at Hampstead, with a broken window, in this most in clement weather, and then set at liberty, without any notice being made of the accusation against him in the verdict of the jury, while all that time the really guilty man was en joying in the New Prison, according to his own acknowledg ment, greater comfort and kindness than he had ever expe rienced in his life. The Learned Magistrate proceeded at some length to denounce the conduct of the coroner as an invasion of the liberty of the subject, a violation of consti tutional law, and wholly uncalled for by the duty which the coroner had to perform. He was simply to inquire into the cause of death, which was totally distinct from the duties of a judicial tribunal. He concluded by moving, in the event of a difference in the court, " That a committee be appointed to obtain the opinion of some competent authority on the sub ject."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SWABEY followed Mr. Botch, and hoped that the indi vidual who had been placed in custody by Mr. Wakley would bring an action against that gentleman, and so settle the question better than could be done by the authority of the Secretary of State, who certainly had not done what his high office demanded.—(Hear, hear.) Colonel WOOD, M.P., thought it not their duty to corn went upon the conduct of Mr. Wakley, and was doubtful of the propriety of expressing an opinion. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said he knew no power exclat habeas corpus, or the pardon of the Crown, to move any prisoner. No magistrate had that power after the order of committal by the police justice. The Secretary of State, according to the ancient and constitutional law, had no such power. He took it that the functions of coroners' juries were something like those of grand juries, before whom the accused parties were never produced. Mr. TULK said that the committing magistrate alone had the power to remove the prisoner, and he had refused to ex ercise his power. The Hon. Mr. BYNG was certain that the keeper would not in future enlarge a prisoner out of custody without an order from the committing magistrate. The CHAIRMAN said that he was not disposed to enter into the legal question. The keeper deserved great thanks, for he had been the only person who had been firm, and if no other benefit resulted from what had taken place, they would now complete the resolution of the visiting justices, which certainly was nugatory on the face of it. That resolution gave the keeper no power, even in case of habeas, to remove the prisoner. If to the existing resolution, forbidding the removal of a prisoner, they added the words " unless he have a competent authority for so doing," it would then have a definite meaning. With respect to the removal of Hocker, he could only say, that finding the responsibility shifted from one to another, and the Coroner insisting that he could not administer justice without him, he was induced to take the responsibility, as a visiting justice, upon the letter from the Home-office being brought to him. The resolution of the visiting justices, with the addition of the words suggested, was then confirmed, and the report approved. FIRE AT ILFORD, Esszx.—On Wednesday night, about half-past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the workshops of Mr. Withers, builder, Lay-street, Ilford , whi ch was not ive lo subdued until an extensss of timber and worlimen'o tvviss had taken place.

CONSTABULARY IN IRELAND. eirg The Marquis of NORMANBY said, that hil to postponed his motion on the subject of promotilio the constabulary in Ireland until this day, it was „,i t i. great unwillingness he had declined to postpo ne it e- ~,, But he did not think that the presence of either o t t '..; 1 3° ' two Lords; on account of whose absence the Pe s , g as. ment had been requested, was necessary to the w oo l sion. Neither of them had any official or dePa rt r e ist 2 , connexion with the subject, and one of them, s „ i . o f Secretary for Ireland, was not at present a raelF iL r er of the Government. It was not certain that eit iote those Lords had a wish to take p a rt in the °_,`, be which might arise, and if he postp on ed it for 001700 might not have an opportunity of bringingit °a„etor after Easter. A recommendation made to th e insr eog general of constabulary, upon an atelersts l o st between all parties in Parliament, had heel} be sight of in recent promotions. But ast F och could have an assurance from the Government tu 0 00° would not be the case again — and there Wag !robot whose assurance he would more readily tak e th e of the Noble Duke opposite. a itt The Duke of WELLINGTON—You wo n't ha p' then.—(A laugh.) be l ei' The Marquis of NORMANBY said it might pout well for the Noble Duke to state at the coral:Ole , but of the debate the course which he meant to l ' i t . e kr' these interruptions should not prevent him (tlJaiotioe• quis of Normanby) from stating the reasorss o f his w to tbOi But when he recollected who were the partie s ijoil l e e j engagement—when he recollected that the other coo of Parliament was with that House equally °l o ot / in preserving the sacredness of that engg e t bil and when he recollected how necessari.re ic services from the constabulary forces in Ireland /1,7001, every part of the country, and still more at the important position which the inspectongenebieb i; he was astonished when be heard of the slight, * gait% been put on thet distinguished officer. lle 01 t e re of Normanby) was aware that it had not of 6 D eOn the usual course for their Lordships' House t ° gee' ree ° 210 with Irish affairs in general ; but when he in a A - 0 when etilllm that the constabulary force of that country wa° l ' lo - e tn ° . ratter so unique, that it was the armed p o P a O f ; afo r such regular orders that it amounted almost c ola ; ing army—that it was dispersed throughou t the 00 in small divisions—that it had to execut e e doeit it 5 t tOe duties—that not only was the ordinal., be. of of reading and writing required of its meroh e ' c 'aert s of also a capacity for making reports to the_aciliellito, justices—he must say that he felt that th e pleb, de the inspector-general of such a force was ° t op .bj) portance as to require the utmost considera„riesaio hands of Parliament.
