EVENING IDiTION. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. Tin HAGUE, MARCH 17.7-1 7 The Second Chamber of the States General agreed on its sitting of Friday, the 15th, to the project of law for improving the currency, by a ma jority of 34 to 15. KELLEN, NEAR CLEVES, MARCH 13.—1 t is confirmed that the battalion of the 17th regiment of the line have marched from Wesel, and arrived on Monday at Crefeld; 1,000, with the staff and the band of n.tusic, remain there foe the present, and 2,000 men marched on the following day to Gladboch. In consequence of this some troops have set out from Westphalia to supply the plane of those that have left Wesel. A traveller brought this news yes terday evening, and added that the roads from Crefeld to Gladboch and to Wesel were covered with troops. Besides this, General Von Bonstell, who commands the Bth corps of the Prussian army, has lately made.: a tour of inspection along the frontiers of Limburg. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 16.—We regret to announce to 'our city, our country, and the whole learned world, the loss of one of their brightest ornaments, by the death of Professor N. G. Van Kemper, yesterday evening, the 15th, in the prime of life, of a disorder which at first did not seem to be dangerous, THE HAGUE, MARCH 19.—The Second Chamber com menced yesterday the debate on the project of law for draining the lake of Haarlem. On the expectation that the debate in the Belgian Cham ber on the acceptance of the Treaty would have been con cluded on Friday, M. Gendebien on that day spoke for four hours, and powerfully stated all tise reasons that could be adduced in support of the resolution, to resist the decision of the Powers. At the conausion of this speech, which was listened to with profcaind attention, M. Gendebien declared that he now finally withdrew from the stage of politics, and would not again speak in the Chamber, of which he took leave. The following were the concluding sentences of his speech:-- " The Luxemburghers have associated. themselves with our revolution, and you condemn them to Ostracism, and you do not shrink from the office of executioner. Well, I condemn myself also to Ostracism, and if I should one day be obliged to apply to you, O Luxemburghers, for an asylum and hospitality, you will receive me as a brother and if my children; condemned to a similar Ostracism, should ask you for an asylum, you will receive them—you will say, 4 They are the children of him who laboured for your independence, and who condemned himself to a political death, rather than coasent to forsake you—rather than dishonour him self.' " When he had spoken these last scolds he was deeply affected, and a flood of tears fell fro m his eyes. M. de Renesse, who was likewise in tears, went up to M. Gendebien and warmly pressed his hand. M. Gendebien then left the Assembly, covering his fact with his hand kerchief'. The Ministers for Foreign Affairs and War were to speak after him, but the Assembly seemed too fatigued to con tinue the debate, which was adjourned till Monday, the Ist. Bat it is not to be expected that it will be then closed, as ten more Members have set down their names to speak on the subject, or unless the majority should be sensible that the matter has been sufficiently discussed to come to a con clusion. VIENNA, BEGINNING or :MARCH.—The navigation of the Danube will be considerably extended in the course of this year. The Company is very zealous, and does not hesitate at making sacrifices. The Danube seems to bid fair to become more and more the great channel of com munication between the west and the east. It will indubitably obtain the preference over the steam navigation from Marseilles to Constantinople, as soon as the iron railroad from Tschsrreowoda to Kos tendsehe (the idea of a canal seems to le given up), on the Black Sea, should be made. Of this there are great hopes, and the Society has sent an able engineer to make the necessary surveys. Three days will thus be saved, and travellers will reach Constantinople from Vienna in seven or eight days, not reckoning the interruption at Osuna.— Ailyemeine Zelung, March 15. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.- Great exertions have been making lately in order to the completion of about three and-a-half miles of Road on the Shoreham branch of this line, which it was intended should have been opened yesterday by some of the Directors of the Company. The heavy rains which fell towards the close of last week, however, partially retarded the progress of the works, and the opening was in consequence post. poncd till this morning (the 19th) at 10 o'clock. The contractors will recommence active operations at the Hove cutting ; the tunnel will be completed there in the early part of July. The works upon the main line are proceed ing rapidly, and there are nearly 4,000 men and about 400 horses employed thereon. The works at Balcombe Tun nel never were in so satisfactory a state as at the present moment ; in short nothing can exceed the vigour with which the works on the whole line are being prose cuted. We have heard it rumoured that a treaty is on foot between theßrighton and Dover Companies which is likely to lead to an amicable adjustment of the differences between those Companies as to the right of the Dover Company to purchase a portion of the Brighton Railroad between Mers tham and Croydon ; we sincerely hope an arrangement may he made between the contending parties, but it is clear that if it be not, the Brighton Company have nothing to fear, because they have the advantage of the Dover Company in every respect ; and we are satisfied nothing can arise to stop the progress of their works. Yet we should like to see the Dover Company in a situation to proceed, with a fair chance of completing their line, and tLis, we are convinced, they cannot do if they do not arrange their differences with the Brighton Company.— Briakton Patriot. EAST INDIA HOUSE.YESTERDAT.)—..A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of East. India Stock, was held this morning, in their House in Leaden hall-street. Sir .1. L. Lushington, the Chairman, accom panied by most of the Directors, entered the Court at twelve o'clock, when the minutes of the last Court were r,^ad and confirmed. Mr. Poynder then brought forward his motion relative to the compulsory attendance of the British soldiers at the religious processions of the natives of Indic, which was seconded by Sir C. Forbes. After some observations by the Chairman and Mr. Strachan, Mr. Poynder replied, when the motion was negatived without a division. Mr. Montgomery Martin then brought forward the following motion, of which he had given notice, that a copy of the minute of E. B. Edmonstone, of the 31st July, 1831, and of the minute of Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., on the extension of the permanent set tlement to the ceded and conquered provinces of Bengal, be laid before the Court. After a long dis cussion the Court divided, when the numbers were— for the motion 10, against : it 35 ; majority 25. In answer to a question from Sir Charles Forbes, relative to the delay in the suspension of the regulations allowing the shipment of Hill Coolies, the Chairman said that with the Order in Council instructions had been sent out that it should be carried into effect immediately, and if there had been any unnecessary delay in so doing he was very sorry for it, but the Hon. Proprietor must be aware that all ;directions respecting its observance in India must emanate from the Governor-General. Sir Charles Forbes, thought the assent of the Governor-Ge neral could not be necessary to enforce an Order in Council sent from this country. The Chairman appre hended that it was. In answer to another question from Sir Charles Forbes, the Chairman stated that the Di rectors had received information of the capture of Aden, but as no account had been furnished them of the names of any officers who had fallen on the occasion he thought it might safely be presumed that none had been killed. Mr. Weeding inquired if the Chairman could inform him whether any stop had been put to the march of the Bengal army ; the Chairman replied that be could give no information on the subject that was not already before Parliament.—The Court then adjourned. TRAFALGAR.--.The following are the surviving Officers who served on board Lord Nelson's Flag Ship, the Victory, in the battle of Trafalgar, on 21st October, 1805, with the rank they held at that period ; together with their rank on the Ist January, 1839 :—J. Pasco, J. Yule, Edward Williams (b), and George Brown (a), Lieutenants in the battle; the first was a Captain, the' other three Commanders on the Ist of January, 1839. W. H. Symons, W. Chasman, S. Spencer, and J. Cars lake, Mates in the battle; the second a Commander, and the others Lieutenants on the Ist Jan., 1839. W. Rivers (this officer lost his leg in the battle), J. Pollard, C. Chapel, H. Lancaster, J. Lyons, Sir G. A. Westphal, and T. L. Roberts, Midshipmen in the battle ; the four first Lieutenants, the fifth and sixth Captains, and the seventh a Commander on the Ist January, 1839. _ ALARMING CIRCUMSTANCE—SINKING OF A COAL SHAFT.--Among the many melancholy accidents which we have from time to time to record, we do not remember one which threatened a more distressing or fatal catastrophe than that which occurred on Friday night last n the Edmonstone coal mines, by the sudden falling of the earth into one of the shafts. By this accident thirteen individuals wore inclosed under ground by the superin cumbent mass, and placed in extreme danger of being suffocated by foul air, but we are happy to state, that they were all happily relieved yesterday morning from their most perilous situation by the unceasing and praiseworthy exertions of the workmen in the neighbour hood, to the unspeakable joy of their friends and relations. The shaft in which the accident occurred is, we believe, the most northerly on the estate. It is situated close to the left of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway, seen after the Dalkeith branch leaves the main branch of the line, It was considered one of the most valuable on the estate, being the mine where the jewel coal was worked Distressing as the accident was, we are assured that had it happened during the day it would have been much more serious, as in that case from 50 to 100 individuals would have been involved in the calamity. About twelve hours before the accident happened, Mr. Adams, the intelligent manager of the mine, was down this very shaft, with up wards of fifty individuals.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. REIVARKABLE ABSTINENCE FROM FOOD.--- A very remarkable case has occurred in the village of Eccles. Last a year a young man, who is now in his 33d year, was taken ill, and according to his mother's ac count, he continued for 38 days without taking any food ex cept liquid, chiefly water, and that only for a portion of the time rasntioned. The same disease has returned this sea son. It is now 25 days since he took any other nourish ment except what may be derived from seater. His parents are worthy people, and bave no conceivable reasons for attempting imposition. —Kelso Paper. Miss Bertha Southey, the daughter of the Poet Laureate, was married last week, at Keswick, to the Rev. Thomas Hill, a Minister of the Established Church. The Laureate himself is expected to be married to Miss Caroline Bowles, at the end of the present month. BRITISH AftitiOCIATION.—The period for hold ing the ensuinc' meeting, which was left for the decision of the Council, Cas now been fixed. The first meeting of tho reneral Committee will be held at Birmingham on Satur day,e , 2 e 5 : and the various sections for scientific busi ness will onthe 2, , th, and through the week. The local Council nod Committees are already busily e ngaged in maki ng t h e preliminary ararrangements .ln Lavaria, vaccina t ion and pense of th e S tate , parents, however rel uc t an t they may be, are o bli ged to submit their children to this oper ation. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. - The " Animals' Friend Society" last week caused William and George Elliott to be fined in costs, by Mr. Minshull, for great cruelty to an ass, and John Humphrey and Rebecca Rodney, ss. each, by Sir John Key, for having ill-treated truck dogs, so that the bv-standers cried " Shame." The Society also charged William Hoskins, before Messrs. Jeremy and Train, with having grossly ill-treated a horse by throwing bricks at it. Mr. Jeremy, however, thought that though the case was cruel it was not wanton; as the offender wanted to make the horse move a cart away from his door, before which it had stopped; and he (Mr. Jeremy) therefore dismissed thecase. NATIONAL CONVENTION. (YESTERDAY.) Mr. HETHERINGTON was called to the Chair. REPORT FROM THE MISSIONARIES. After the minutes of Tuesday's proceedings were read, the Secretary proceeded to read several letters from various parts of the country, giving an account of the progress of the gentlemen sent out to agitate the kingdom. Among which, that from Bailie Craig stated that his exertions to promote unanimity among the different sec tions of Radicals in Scotland had had the most happy effect. Every shade of Radicalism was merged into a desire of success for the objects of the Charter. Several meetings had been held throughout Ayr shire, Renfrewshire, Stirlingshire, and Argvleshire, at which the people were unanimous in according their gra titude for the conduct of the Convention since they had begun their sitting. SIMULTANEOUS MEETINGS AND ACCESSION OT IRELAND TO THE CHARTISTS. Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNoR said that it having been de termined that the Missionaries should return next week, he would postpone his motion for a certain day being ap pointed to hold meetings in all the great towns of Eng land and Scotland, antecedent to the presentation of the National Petitions, from a sense of the importance of ac quiring new information on the feelings of the people, of which information the Missionaries would have a large quantity. He was the more inclined to do so from his having just learned a piece of information regarding Ireland, which, to the Convention, was of more importance than anything which had occurred since they commenced their proceedings in the month of February. It was that at a large and influential meeting of the citizens of Cork, held last week, Mr. Joseph Hayes, pro prietor of the Southern Reporter, one of the most influen tiul men in that part of the empire, and always a steady Whig, and n• inconsiderable advocate of Whig prin ciples, had declared, that he was convinced that there was no hope for Ireland, and he would recommend the people to go over to the Chartists. This declaration was hailed with universal approbation, and the proposition which it contained was only got rid of by its not being one of the subjects for which the meeting was convened. FINANCE. A vote for 201. being expended in agitating a certain district of Scotland under the superintendence of Mr. Mathew, gave rise to a long and animated discussion. It was supported by Messrs. Pitkeithlcy, Carpenter, Mills, Maling, &c., and opposed by Messrs. Neesom, Feargus O'Connor, Marsden, Sankey, Ryder, Skevington, Penny, and the Rev. Dr. Wade. It was finally carried by a majo r ritv of three. . . . e other money votes being negatived, the Secretary called for the notices of motion, which were handed in accordingly. THE ARMY. Among them was one by Mr. O'Connor, to the effect "That the Convention do prepare an address to the Army, calling on that portion of the people to get up an address to the Queen, to induce her Majesty to use her authority to prevent the safety of the country being entrusted to the intended rural police, instead of to themselves, the ac knowledged guardians of Britain."—The meeting then dissolved. CONTEMPLATED OUTRAGE UPON LORD MELBOURNE. A person, whose real name is supposed to be James Howard, apparently about forty years of age, and re spectably attired, was brought before Mr. CONANT on Tuesday, at Marlborough-street, under the following cir cumstances : It appeared, from the statement of George Berry, police constable C 63, that between six and seven o'clock on Monday evening, he found the defendant in George-street, Grosvenor-square, where, 11 his extraordinary conduct, be had collected a great mob. On going up to him and in quiring the cause of such behaviour, he stated that he was annoyed and disappointed, for that he had been waiting more than two hours opposite the residence of Lord Mel bourne, in South-street, in order to "crack his Lordship's head," for which purpose he had prepared himself with a quantity of large stones. Finding that the defendant would not go away, he took him to the station-house. Inspector Beresford stated that when the defendant was taken into the station-house by the last witness, he (the in spector) asked him his name, to which he replied " My name is Guelph, and I am the son of the late King George IV. and Queen Caroline." He then proceeded to state that Lord Melbourne and the Ministers were per fectly aware that he was the person he represented himself to be, and they were conspiring together to keep him out of his right and title. He then stated that Lord Melbourne was the person who murdered Eliza Grimwood, in the Waterloo-road, which fact he would prove by undeniable evidence. He had written to the Sheriffs of Middlesex upon the subject, wit() had handed his communication to the Queen, and she had sent him an answer. He knew it was from the Queen, because it was in her own hand writing. Mr. CONANT asked the defendant what he had to say on the subject ? The defendant said it was very true that he was the son of George IV., and he could also prove that Lord Melbourne was the murderer of Eliza Grimwood. He was compelled to make these statements in consequence of the continued persecution he met with from Lord Mel bourne. His Lordship was always tormenting and tortur ing him by means of electricity. Go where he would, his Lordship always had agents to work for the purpose of an noying him " through that medium." Mr. CoNawr asked the defendant to give some account of himself. _ _ _ The defendant said be had formerly been in a respectable business at Stamford, but had been driven from there by Lord Melbourne and his party. ne then went to Windsor, and subsequently came to London, but during the whole period he had been tormented by heir infernal electricity. Go where he would, he could always see some of them peeping after him. Several letters found upon the defendant were here handed to the Magistrate; one was addressed to the Queen, one to Lor Brougham, and another to Lord Melbourne. The one to the Queen purported to con tain the plan adopted by Lord Melbourne in the mur der alluded to ; and the one to Lord Brougham con tained a history of his (defendant's) life. The letters were well written, and were evidently the production of a person of good education. Inspector Beresford said, from the remarks and threats made use of by the defendant, he had no doubt but that he intended to do some mischief to Lord Melbourne. When searched, there were several large stones found in his pockets, and a small sharp-pointed dirk in a sheath. Mr. CONANT said, that after such conduct he could not allow him to go at large, and should therefore order him to find bail. The defendant was subsequently sent to prison. Mr.*CONANT said, it was quite evident that the poor fel low was insane. A LIVER COMPLAINT. At Queen-square, Mr. George Faulkner, a butcher, appeared to answer the complaint of Mrs. Elizabeth Pace, who charged him with having saluted her on the face in a way quite contrary to all the rules of love or etiquette. The complainant, who came under the denomination of "fair, fat, and forty," stated that on Friday morning last she considered within herself what she should have for dinner, and, after some deliberation, thinking it too near the end of the week to have a " reglar jint," she decided upon a nice fry, and accordingly sent her girl to the defendant's shop for a pound and a half of nice calf's liver. When the girl returned, she " was struck all of a heap," for the liver, instead of having the peculiar colour belong ing to a calf's, looked as if it had belonged to some " tenant of the deep." " I then went," continued the com plainant, " to defendant's shop myself, with the liver on a plate, and says I ' Mr. Faulkner, how could you wive the girl a sheep's liver, instead of calf's?' He says ' ; You had calf's.' I told him I was sure it wasn't ; and says I to him ' Here have I been a householder in this neigh bourhood for twenty-five years, and yet you think I don't know what calf's liver is.' So says he 'Do you see this (taking down a pluck from the side of the door), this era is what it was cut off, Mrs. Impudence,' and with that he slapt my face and broke my bonnet with it.—( Laughter.) I have got both to show you." Mr. WHITE—What, the liver as well as the bonnet? Complainant—Yes.—(Renewed laughter.) Here the complainant unpinned a neatly folded white napkin cover ing a plate, and having removed it, displayed to the gaze of his worship the liver in question, asking him to give his opinion upon it, but the worthy Magistrate declined so to do. _ _ Mr. WnlTE—Was there anything further took place ? Complainant—No, I think that was enough, and so I told Mr. Faulkner, and says I, " Sir, you have insulted me, a householder here for twenty-five years, and you shall hear further," and with that I came down here, with the liver, and got the warrant. Mr. WHITE.-Well, defendant, I suppose you don't deny this? (Defendant—lncleed, I do, and I've a great deal to say. This lady has attacked my reputation which is as dear to me as my life. She has accused me of selling her sheep's liver instead of calf's. Now I declare to your worships upon the word of a butcher, that she had none but calf's, and I've brought the remainder of the pluck to show you. —( Laughter.) Defendant then pulled out of his pocket a paper parcel tied round. and opening it, exposed to view the remains of a calf's pluck, holding it at arm's length by the pipe, he exclaimed " Who is here that will say this is not a calf's liver ?" Here he pauecl for a reply," till having satisfied himself no one present had the te merity to gainsay him, he " repacked the pluck" and again deposited it in his pocket. " Well, your wor.. ships," he continued, " this lady sends for this pound and a half of liver and I sent what she ordered, but in a few minutes she comes back with it herself, and in a terrible bluster asks for her money back, and plumply said You've sent me sheep's liver you old villain.' Now, if sho had'nt attacked my reputation I should have given her her money back ; but no, I wouldn't then, and I says to her, Do you think that I, who've been a butcher near upon two and twenty years, don't know the difference between a calf's and a sheep's liver ?' And she says, Yes, you old scoundrel, you do.' So your worships, I couldn't stand that, and I put her out of the shop. Well, I see she wanted to come in again, so down I takes the pluck.—(here the defendant again produced it), and swinging it in this way (suiting the action to the word), I tried i to prevent her coming in, but she would, and she caught it n her face, and I could'nt help that.--Warrant dismissed. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1839. FRENCH TELEGRAPH ADMINI- STRATION. This department of the public service has attracted much attention, since the Revolution of 1830. It has promoted many a successful official speculation in the Funds, and at no period has it more conspicuoeibt t xy edbslits rapidu qualities than during the late elections. As a Cabinet which had the rare credit of abstaining from stuck-jobbing is likely to be succeeded by one which will include Al. Thiess, a few observations upon the present telegraph system may not be unseasonable. The telegraph administration was first established by the celebrated Carnot, when he organized fourteen armies, which defended the territory of Republican France against a formidable foreign invasion. The greatest improve. ments in the system of signals, were introduced by two brothers, MM. Chappe. The telegraph expresses three principal signs, denomi nated the 33, the 90, and the obtuse. Each of these signs has thirty-three subdivisions, reckoned equal in number to the sounds and inflexions of the French language. The individuals employed upon this ingenious machine com municate, by means of the signals which they repeat, the orders transmitted by this channel, but without having the least knowledge of their contents. At the end of every line there is a translator, who alone knows the meaning of the words. The same signal has not always the same meaning, for in such case, with time and persevering attention, telegraphic despatches might be explained. To do so the dictionary to which they refer must be consulted. Were it absolutely necessary, the Government might even transmit orders without their contents being known to the translators, by concerting signals beforehand with the person to whom the orders are addressed. There are, however, some signals known to the employes, and which are addressed to them, such as these denoting repose, or that some accident has disturbed the machinery. It is agreed that when two signals come from the extre mities of the line it is always the signal arriving from Paris which is to be transmitted first, unless on momentous oc casions, when the opposite extremity expresses it by the signal " Urgence." He who is on the watch registers every signal he executes, and waits to make another until he is certain that the preceding one has been well under stood and faithfully imitated. Hence the necessity he is in of knowing the manoeuvre which denotes that his signal has been ill-understood. There are also cases wherein he is apprised that he must copy the signals he sees as soon as he repeats them, in order to read them afterwards if they be among those of which he has the key, or to keep and submit them to the inspectors. The telegraph communications are extremely rapid when the state of the atmosphere does not obstruct them. From Paris to Lille a question may be asked and the answer be received in three minutes ; news from Calais comes up in four minutes five seconds ; from Strasburg in five minutes fifty-two seconds; from Toulon in thirteen minutes five seconds; and from Brest in six minutes My seconds. Private communications by tolcgraph arc prohibited by a law enacted since 1830. On Fi 'riday night the stables connected with the Saracen's Head Inn, Paisley, were destroyed by fire. The horses and coaches were saved. THE SLAVETRADE IN NEW SOUTII WALES. —Certain of the Friends of the Colony as they humour ously call themselves, were mightily offended some time ago, at our having applied the term " slave holders," to the masters of assigned convict servants, in this territory. Why, what will be said in the British Parliament, and by the Bri tish nation, when they learn the monstrous and undeniable fact, that assigned convict servants, British born white men and not African negroes—are now openly and notori ously sold in the public slave market of Sydney ! In a recent case of a sale of property, after the purchaser had paid the full price of the land and cattle, he was told by the outgoing proprietor that he had not purchased the as signed servants, and new arrangements were accordingly made for this additional item by the parties concerned. A check has actually been paid into one of the colonial banks this very week as the price of convicts, who it seems were valued at ten pounds a head ! • Nay, after in quiring into the matter a little, which we did of course, " arrectis auribus," we ascertained to our utter astonish. ment, that this system of selling white men has been in operation for a year or two past in the colony, and that that the thing is well known to certain of the " Simon Pure's" of the Legislative Council, who would have put down the Synod of New South Wales on a charge of heresy, forsooth. if they could.—Sidney Colonist. Mr Rowland Hill's plan of the reduction of the postage has had a trial in Gloucestershire. The postage from Stroud to Nailsworth has recently been reduced from fourpence to one penny ; the consequence has been, that more than forty times the usual number of letters have, on an average, passed through the offices in those places. EDMONSTONE COLLIERY.—We understand that the whole of the sufferers who were so providentially resued from a lingering death on Sunday morning last, were on Tuesday ready to resume work, with the exception of the oldest woman, the wife of George Campbell, who was in rather a feeble state previous to the catastrophe, but who is now greatly recovered, although not as yet able to descend the pit. On Monday last the Messrs. Sten house again visited them all, and generously gave 11. to each.—Scotsman. THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.--. The experiment of blowing up the Royal George, at Spithead, by means of 13-inch shells, placed as far into her in different parts as the divers can manage it, will take place this week. To prevent accident to any boat, the explosion will be effected by the rising of the tide ope rating on a buoy attached to the shells by a log-line. A dispute, respecting prices, has arisen between the cotton spinners employed in the new mill, lately erected in Johnstone, by Sir W. M. Napier, and their employers. We have not heard the nature of the dispute ; but we un derstand some reduction of price was proposed, to which the spinners would not submit. Some symptoms of rioting having been exhibited, a party of constables was dispatched from Paisley yesterday morning to preserve the peace ; and last night an additional force was sent off—Paisley Advertiser. DESTRUCTION' OF FOXES.-In consequence of the wanton destruction of foxes, Sir John Barker Mill has expressed a determination of relinquishing his hounds at the end of the present season. COACH ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday morning, as Rener's Clapham coach was standing opposite the Green Man public house, in Oxford-street, the horses took fright and dashed off et a furious rate towards Tottenham-court road, and on reaching Wardour-street the coach was over. turned. The horses continued their impetuous course down Wardour-street, with the traces, &c. hanging at their heels, towards their stables, but were fortunately stopped before any further serious damage was done. One person was knocked down, but only slightly injured. UPSETTING OF A CONVICT SHIP.-About half-past twelve o'clock on Monday morning an alarm was given in her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, that the Ganymede, convict-ship, with about three hundred men battened under hatches had capsised. The officers of the poor ~,)o.oeio r oerC r uetk t hwy f ieca n lrlr e ai c d ntnocut whn convicts phis r ; e ft ars cabins, or e asmo n be for, lnbyisez, just as nuNagsnt. d, i nwm foret ei a time drowned,nes stooh assistance,ae naval psergtehrvees prevent police, wuthdpaorsaes un der Lieutenant prevent ntoat lodged watergnde the ee obtained on the starboard side of the ship from being suffocated. The vessel had fallen on her bilge from part of her mooring, having given way so that as the tide was coming up, and she was in some degree suspended by the larboard side to the wharf, she was in a measure scuttled, and she could not right herself. The men were lodged for the remainder of the night in the convict chapel, over which a strong guard of soldiers were placed, and a distribution of dry clothinw took place. Many of the convicts were much exhausted. In the course of Monday afternoon the Meteor steam-vessel, Lieutenant Pritchard, and the Lightning Admiralty steam yacht, Lieutenant Williams, got up steam to tow the Warrior seventy four to the Dock-yard side from her moorings in the river stream, as in consequence of the up setting of the Ganymede, the Warrior is to fitted up as a convict-hulk, iron gratings being procured from Sheer ness for the purpose.

Speller, after having been very flat, again shows some symptoms of improvement, there being now very little to he had for spring shipments under 201. 10s. per ton. Since the sales last week in Spanish Lead there have been no transactions of consequence, but the price is firm at 181. 15s. on the spot, and IEI. 10s. for arrival. British Lead is very flat, and has declined 10s. per ton. British Tin has fallen 41. per tom, and about -100 slabs East India are advertised for sale next week.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MARCH 16.—1 n the sitting of the Chamber yesterday, after the speech of M. Desmazieres in favour of the project of law, M. Ernst, the Ex-minister, spoke against it. He did r.ot believe that if Belgium refused to accept the treaty there would be any reason to fear either the resolution of the King of Holland, or the partition of Belgium; resistance, he allowed, would be attended with expellee, but if they were at length obliged to submit the national honour and dignity would at least be preserved. M. Fallow succeeded him in defence of the project of law. M. Fallow spoke from twelve till three, and his speech tills seventeen columns of the Moniteur. M. Dubois then spoke against the project of law. In the sitting of to-day, the 16th, M. Dubois concluded his speech, and was followed by M. Laughe, who showed how vain were the hopes which the advocates of resistance founded on a change of Ministry in France. Without joini n g w ith the bitter censurers of the Ministers, or entertainink the slight est idea that their actions have been biassed by a desire of retaining their places, he thought they ought to have perceived long ago that resistance was impossible, and have saved us the expense of a burdensome war establish ment for five months. They ought not to have feared the unpopularity with which the immediate acceptance would have been followed. But we have not to deal with the past but with the present, and ev er ythi ng i te p reases on us the duty and the necessity of accepting the treaty. M. Gerdebien then rose to speak.—( Profound silence.) The Hon. Member first laid on the bureau two petitions from the province of Namur against the acceptance. He announced that he was going to speak for the last time, and that his speech would be a farewell address to his col leagues. The Chamber is still sitting.—Courrier Beige. The inhabitants cf Luxemburg, who are the best judges of their own interest in the difficult situation in which they are placed, have had the wi s d om t o cons id er , t h a t before satisfying political opinion, the question of existence was to be attended to. They have recollected also that the resolutions of King William contained in his proclamation of February, 1831, would have secured all their rights if the Grand Duchy had been definitively pa cified. They are therefore agreed tog e th er t o h as t en th e moment, when peace will permit King William to realise the promise which he has made them, and the address which they think of offering to him, proves that they have entire confidence in him. We spoke of this Address yesterday on the authority of the Echo du Luxembourg. The Journal du Luxembourg has an article to the same effect. The authors of the ad dress express their wish to discuss the interest of the Pro ♦ince with any Commission that his Majesty may please to appoint. The friends of the public good who met on the 10th, agreed to the draft of an Address, and nominated a depu tation to lay it at the foot of the throne; but considering that it is of great importance to support so solemn a step by as many signatures as possible, they adjo'srned till Sunday, the 17th, in order to invite all influential persons in the country to join with them. The hope that a sense of ge neral interests. which, in the present critical circumstances, must induce the Luxemburghers to expect everything from the magnanimity and solicitude of their august Monarch, will make them perceive that the union of their wishes is ndispensible to ensure success.—Courier Beige.

Four PERSONS POISONED.—TWO LIVES LOrn —Another case of poisoning has happened at Hempnall, in this county, where the destruction contemp lated seems only second in importance to the case cf poisoning a few ycars since in I3urnham Market. It seems that a journeyman carpenter, in the above village, of the name of Daynes, got up at his usual hour on Mon day morning last to go to his work, leaving his wife and two young children in bed, but taking with him a son about 20 years of age, whom his mother requested to call on an old lady about 70 years of age, who was in the habit of going out to poor people's houses to work, and tell her that she wished her to go down and help her to wash, which he did. When Mrs. Baynes; got up she found the tea kettle filled, a thing that was very unusual. How ever, having lighted her fire, she, suspecting nothing, boiled it, and she and the two children partook of the water from it, the women for tea and the children in their sop. Before breakfast was ended sll the parties were taken sick, and Mrs. Daynes and the eldest child cast it from their stomachs copiously. They all, however, felt alarmingly ill, and the husband was sent for from his work. On arriving, he was observed to take the tea-kettle out of the back door to a run of the water, where he took some pains to rinse it, the cottage standing down in the Hempnall-field. It now be came necessary to send for medical aid, and Messrs. Utting and Barton were sent for, but the utmost efforts of these gentlemen were unavailing, the youngest child and the old woman Mills died in the course of the afternoon, and the other two were in imminent danger. On Wed nesday, the wife and eldest child seemed in a fair way of re covery ; and on that day an inquest was held on the bodies of the deceased before Mr. Pilgrim, County Coroner, when a post mortem examination took place. The sto machs were sent to Norwich for analyzation, and the in quest was adjourned until the result of the analysis was known ; the husband being kept in close custody.—Nor. folk Chronicle. POISONOUS QUALITIES OF THE YEIV.-0, Tuesday se'nnight an inquest was held before Evan Wil liams, Esq., Coroner, Radnorshire, and a most respectable Jury , on the body of a young woman named Griffith, who, after a lengthened inquiry, and the careful examination of several witnesses, together with the evidence of a medical man, it appeared came by her death from drinking a strong decoction of yew tree leaves; there was no evidence to show th a t s h e too k i t w ith a felonious intention, nor, as as probably o ; indeeda uworm as the a medicine, e e r i i fsug not ignorant e. generally known t o be of its delet er i ous property arisen fn its some good. na t ure d ne ighbours sun-nisei, for the purp ose of de s t roy i ng " a secon d pr i nc iple of life within," but mo s t s poisonous, an d h ence the many fatal acc i dents which have a Cambrian. There is a pauper in Farringdon union work house, named Mary Stanby, aged 2 4 years , who has already had 1: 32 needles extracted from her person, the greatest number of which has been taken from the breast. It is conjectured by the medical officer that she must have swallowed the needles, but she positively denies having any knowledge of th e c i rc umstaxce.—Reading Mercury. n- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 20. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock. On the motion of Mr. HECTOR, the South Moulton Roads Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. On the motion of Mr. WALKER, the Bury Market Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. SALE OF BEER BILL. Mr. GRIMSDITCH presented a petition from Maccles field against the Beer Bill. Mr. FENTON presented petitions to the same effect from Rochdale. Mr. D'ISRAELI presented similar petitions from Maidstone. Mr. BROADLEY presented a petition from Selby, Yorkshire, against the Beer Act, and a petition to the same effect from Ripon. Mr. M. PIIILLIPS presented a petition from Sal ford, from upwards of 600 beer sellers, praying the House to institute an inquiry before they legislated on the subject. Mr. EASTHOPE presented a petition (we believe) from Leicester, in favour of a penny posta , o. Mr. GREENA\VAY presented a similar petition. Mr. BAILEY presented a petition front Sudbury against any further grant to Maynooth College. Sir C. STYLE presented a petition from the county of Donegal, for an equalization of political privileges be tween Ireland and England. Mr. SCARLETT presented a petition from some place in Lancashire, complaining of the operation of the Beer Act. Mr. PLUM PT RE presented a petition from some place in the county of Chester against the 13( er Act. Also a petition front some place in Sussex, praying the House not to sanction any system of Public Education which was not under the superintendence of the clergy of the Established Church ; also a petition, praying for the repeal of the Ro man Catholic Emancipation Act. REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. O'CONNELL presented nine petitions from pa rishes in the counties of Kerry, Tipperary, Cavan, Long ford, and Donegal, calling on the House either to make the Union a real one, by identifying the Irish with the English, or to restore to Ireland her domestic Legislature. The Hon. Gentleman also presented a petition from the Rev. Henry Edwards, who w s the .Minister of an Inde pendent Chapel at Long Sutton, in Lincolnshire. The peti tioner stated that he was a hater of popery—(A laugh) —but that he hated still more the enormous temporalities of the present Established Church in Ireland,and praying the House not to grant the prayer of the petitions for abrogat ing the grant to Marnooth, as he did not believe the peti tioners were actuated by any sincere love for religion, from which sentiment he (Mr. O'Connell) did not widely differ. The petitioner prayed that the House would take the tem poralities of the Established Church and apply them to public purposes, and would resist any attempt to take the grant from Maynooth, without at the same time lessening the temporalities of the Established Church in Ireland. The Hon. and Learned Member also presented a petition from Newfoundland, signed by the Speaker of the House of i_ssembly, a great number of merchants, and 2,600 other individuals, complaining of the calumnious charges which had been made against the popular party in that country, and praying the House to examine into the facts before making any alteration in the constitution of the colony. Mr. ESTCOU RT brought up the Report of the Standing Orders Committee. Mr. MILES presented a petition from Glastonbury against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. HOD G SON presented a petition from the county of Northumberland complaining of spiritual destitution in Canada. _ Mr. AI. J. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the county of Kerry in favour of the Government plan for establishing railroads in Ireland. Mr. MUS KErr presented a petition from St. Albans against any alteration in the Beer Bill. Mr. W. DUNCOMBF, presented three petitions from the North Riding of Yorkshire against any altera tion in the Corn.laws ; also a petition from Dewsbury, prayin g fir an alteration in the Beer Act. Sir JAMES DUKE presented a petition from Boston, signed by 3,000 persons, against any alteration in the Beer Bill, and eight other petitions from places in Lincoln shire to the same effact. Petitions were presented complaining of the evil working of the Beer Bill, by Mr. Milnes, from six parishes in York shire ; by Mr. Baines, from five places in the West Riding of the county of York ; by Mr. Parker from Sheffield ; by Mr. Marsland from Saddlewortb, Chapel-le-Firth, and other places. Mr. BRA MSTON presented a petition from Essex in favour of the County Courts Bill. Mr. POWER presented a petition from Waterford praying for Corporate Reform. ____ CORN-LAWS. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from an nidivi dual named Thomas Winter, an agriculturist, complaining that his name had been adhibited to a petition in favour of the Corn-laws, against his wish, and without hiscom sent. He knew no way of snaking his opinions known, except by presenting a petition, praying for the total and immediate repeal of these laws. The Honourable Member said he had also to present a petition, which had been got up in consequence of a misrepresenta tion of their interests in the late debate upon the Corn laws. It was from the squire, agriculturists and labourers of the parish of Brandon, in the counties of Suffolk and Nor folk, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws.--( Cheers.) IMPROVEMENT OF THE METROPOLIS. Dr. LU SHINGTON presented a petition from the Tower Ilamlets, stating that the petitioners bad beard with pleasure the appointment of a Committee on the subject of improvement of the metropolis, and praying the House to carry that object into effect. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY presented a petition from Aldgate against the Metropolitan Police Bill. NEWFOUNDLAND. Mr. H UME presented a petition from the Clergy, Magistrates, traders, and other inhabitants of Harbour Grace and Carboniere, in Newfoundland, praying the House to be pleased to address her Majesty for the appointment of a commision of inquiry, uncon nected with the Colonies, and uninfluenced by the preju- dices of party, to report on the state of the colony, its institutions and government, and the moral and political condition of the inhabitants. The petitioners stated that they would instruct their representatives to defray the expense of such Commission from the Colonial Re venue. As the inhabitants of Newfoundland seemed to be alarmed that some change was about to be made in their constitutional rights, perhaps the Secretary for the Colonies would say what course it was the intention of Government to pursue ? Mr. L ABO UCH ERE said the Government had no in tention whatever of proposing to Parliament any measure for the purpose of varying the Constitution of that Co lony.—( Hear, hear.) BEER BILL. Mr. H UME presented a petition, signed by 1,400 in habitants of Bath and its environs, praying the House to make such alterations in the existing Beer Laws as would secure to the proprietors of Beer-shops an equality of privilege with other dealers in Beer. Also a similar petition from the brewers and occupiers of Beer-shops re siding in the City of Bath. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that after Easter he should more for a copy of the Charter of Trinity College, Dublin; and also, for Copies of any Correspondence between the King of Hanover and the autborities of that College. Mr. ALSTON gave notice that on going into Committee on the Beer Bill, he should move certain amendments. Dr. LUSHINGTON gave notice that he should move for copies of any despatches from the Governor- General of the Leeward Islands recommending the convocation of a General Assembly of these Islands. Mr. WODE HO USE begged to ask the Hon. Member for Finsbury, who had a notice on the order book for to morrow relative to the poor in workhouses, whether it was his intention to bring that question on to-morrow, or if not w,hether he would renew it in its present shape ? Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—In consequence of the length of time the discussion on the Corn-laws had occupied, ho thought he should best consult the convenience of the House by postponing it till after Easter, when he should reusw his motion. HIGHWAYS. On the motion of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, the High, ways Bill went through a Committee. SALE OF BEER BILL. Mr. PAKINGT ON presented petitions from Walsal and Birmingham, praying for a material modification ol the Beer Act. Mr. SVARBURTON presented four petitions from London and Portsmouth, praying that any regulation adopted with respect to the sale of Beer, might be made equally applicable to the Beer-sellers and the Licensed Victuallers. Mr. D UGD ALE presented a petition from Birming. ham, against the Beer Bill. Mr. ALSTON presented a petitioe from Aylesbury, in favour of the repeal of the Beer Act. Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition from Ashtoa_ under-Lyme, in favour of the repeal of the Beer Act ; also a petition from the Beer-sellers of that place, in favour of the Bill. Mr. GIBSON presented a'petition from Yoxford, Suf. folk, against the Beer Law. Mr. WAK LE Y presented a petition from Chester, praying the House not to place the beer shops wholly under the controul of the Magistrates. Lord SANDON presented a petition from 968 licensed victuallers of Liverpool, praying for a repeal of that clause in the Beer Act which allows beer to be drunk on the premises. Mr. PAKINGTON then rose to move the second ' reading of the Bill for the amendment of the Sale of Beer Act. It had become indispensable that Par liament should interfere upon this subject, and he would shortly explain the nature of the provisions which he had ventured to suggest. It must be in the recollection of Hon. Members, that when the pre sent Act passed in 1830, it was predicted by those who were opposed to the Act, that it would be impossible that it should come into operation without producing the most pre judicial and dangerous effects upon the morals of the people. All these predictions had been verified, and the evil had become even greater than had been anticipated.--( Hear, hear.) The Beer Act, instead of conducing to the com fort of the labouring classes, had only pandered to their vices.--( Hear.) Not a year had elapsed from the passing of the Beer Act before these evils came into operation, and in 1833, three )ears after the passing of the Act, they had increased to such an extent that a Committee was ap pointed to investigate this subject, and an Act passed to remedy these evils. That Act had proved a complete nullity. —( Hear.) The time had now come when the complaints of the Clergy and Magistracy on this subject ought to be attended to, and the Beer Act be either totally repealed or greatly modified. He had no doubt he should be opposed en financial grounds, and then Hon. Gentleman opposite had moved for returns which showed an increase in the malt-tax. since the passing of the Beer Bill. Now this tax, although not to the same extent, had increased in Scotland, and when it was considered that the duty was taken off beer at the same time, he did not think they could fairly attribute this increase in the malt-tax to the passing of the Beer Act. When the question was last before the House, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer wished then to consider the vast amount of capital invested in beer shops, but the Bill which was now under discussion would leave untouched all those houses where capital to any great extent was vested. —(Loud cries of " hear, hear." When the Beer Act was introduced no tenderness was shown to the licensed victuallers, notwithstanding the very large amount of capital invested in public houses.—(floar. ) The House would hear no doubt of the necessity for free trade in an article so essential to the poorer classes as beer, and of all the monopolies which previously existed.—( Hear, hear.) But all this must give way before the paramount consideration of the demoralising tendency of the Beer Bill. On that ground he took his stand, and trusted he should be able to convince the House of the necessity of interfering In 1533 and 1831 Committees were formed, before which the strongest evidence was given as to the true nature and demoralising tendency of the Beer Bill. :The third resolution of the Committee on Drunkenness stated that there was a house for the sale of intoxicating liquors for every twenty families throughout the country. The House were bound to look also to the effects of intoxication in entailing one of the worst calamities that could befal human nature. By the evidence of Sir H. Ellis, it appeared that in one year, out of 28 patients who were under his care, 19 had become insane through habits of intoxication. The evidence of Mr. Wright, a magistrate of the county of Hants, showed that, in the gaols of that county, out of 118 prisoners, 116 attributed their crimes and misfortunes to their frequenting beer-shops. He would call the attention of the House to the case of several persons who had been executed. The two who were executed in Cambridgeshire for the murder of Lord Hardwicke's keeper, in the last moments of their existence, attributed their crimes to the associates they had picked up in beer-shops. The same had been said by two men who had been executed in Somerset. Petitions from the Magistracy of no less than twenty-four counties in England had been presented against these laws; and a meeting was held in the county with which he was connected ( Worcestershire), at which men of all parties attended, Liberal as well as Conservative, and expressed their abhorrence of the crime and outrage which these laws had generated.—( Hear.) He hoped the House would bear with him a few minutes, while he pro duced what he conceived to be incontestable evidence of the mischievous effects of these laws. The Hon. Member then read a letter from the clergyman and church wardens of a parish in the county of Worcestershire, complaining of the evils caused by the Beer-laws. The Hon. Member then read a letter from Mr. Forster, Chairman of the Quarter Sessions of Manchester, giving it as his opinion, that the establishment of Beer houses was destructive of the provident and in dustrious habits of the working classes. Such being the evils of the measure, the question then was what was the best mode of correcting and remedying those grievances. At first be was inclined to think that no measure would be effectual that did not prohibit the drinking of beer on the premises ; but upon further con sidering the subject, he was disposed to think that a corrective measure, provided it could be made sufficiently strong, would be the best. Before the Committee of 1833 the Mayor of Leeds was asked, " Do you think that preventing the sale of beer on the premises would tend to remove the inconveniences of the present sys tem ?" The answer was, " I think something of that kind was tried sometime ago, but it was evaded in this way. Persons, after procuring their beer at a beer shop, would go to a kind of partnership concern over the way, where they would drink the liquor." There was a difficulty in ap plying police regulations to such houses. If drinking on the premises was allowed, the old system must be resorted to, of licensing public-houses. But though he did not wish to throw any reflections on the Magistrates --he did not think it expedient, if any other remedy could be devised, that the licensing should in these excited times be committed to the Magistrates, as it would doubtless sub ject them to a suspicion which it was desirable should not attach to the Bench. He trusted this Bill would be suffered to go into Committee, when he would explain its provisions. He would only state that the fixing the rating had been suggested by the Committee of 1833. He had fixed a rating of 101. per annum in country towns, as being neces sary for a license to sell beer, and it should be remem bered that by the Parochial Assessment Act the rat ing must be a real one. It might be said that the rating was not a proper test, because the value of property was different in different counties, but he did not think this objection of importance, because the value of property was always in proportion to the popu lation.—(Hear, hear.) It had been found in large towns that a rating of ten pounds was insufficient to secure the respectability of the parties keeping these houses, and therefore he proposed to raise the rating under those circumstances to 15/. annually. He also proposed, as a further guarantee, that the person applying for a licence should be known to have occupied the pre mises for a certain time pi evious to applying for his license. This he thought would prevent improper persons from applying for licenses, and also prevent brewers from building houses for the purpose of selling beer by means of their agents. Ho should wish to prevent the too great facility of transferring licenses; at the same time he would introduce a clause allowing the transfer of licences to the widow or the children without delay or hardship. He would also correct an error in the 7th clause, which had crept in, relative to the sale of beer on the premises. He trusted the House would permit the Bill to go into Committee. He enter tained the most sanguine hopes that the House would allow the Bill to pass in its integrity, and not muti late it in Committee. If the Bill was not calculated to meet the wishes of every Member, it was calculated to remove many of the evils which were so much complained of. Looking to the question before the House—looking to the peculiar interests involved on the one hand and the t, highest interests of human nature on the other, he trusted ; the matter would be discussed with calmness and quietness, and that Hon. Members would approach the subject with an anxious desire to correct the evils which now existed. He therefore moved the second reading of the Bill. Mr. WA RB URTON said, upon the last discussion of this subjeet the Hon. Member said that if the Bill was made one of police, if it was to regulate beer-shops, it would meet with no opposition. if the Hon. Member would defer the Committee until after Easter, he would offer no opposition to the second reading of the Bill. Evers , crime that was now commit ted was attributed to - beer-houses.--( Hear, ar.d cheers.) Why, crimes existed before beer-shops—(Cheers)— and even Mr. Wright, who had been quoted, said that criminals had made confessions, and before the beer-shops were opened, and then they attributed their folly to the associ ates they made in licensed houses. Mr. Wright attri buted the incendiarism of 1829 and 1830 to the beer shops, when the fact was the Beer Bill did not come into operation till October, 1830. Crimes, he was prepared to prove, bad not only not increased but had actually decreased. It was` boasted of only a few nights ago that the deposits in Savings' Banks had much increased. Was that a sign of greater drunkenness ? So long as beer was made good it would be drunk. To prevent that they must either make the beer much worse, or pre vent its sale altogether. He had no doubt but the country would be more moral if the sale of all intoxicating liquors was prohibited. But were they able to do so ? At all events let them not allow beer to be sold under one set of circumstances, and prevent a free trade. Under this Bill the landlord would have the whole power of the licensing Magistrates, and he would prefer the old system. Under the Bill, a new house built on purpose for the trade could not be opened at all, and if a person disposed of his business in the beer trade, that house could not be opened by the buyer under one twelve month.—( Hear, hear.) Then by the Bill the sellers of beer were to be much heavier taxed—the licence was tol, be raised from 3/. 3s. to 5/. ss. He wished to know whether the Hon. Member was prepared to defer the Committee on the Bill till after Easter. Mr. PAKINGTON never had any intention of pro posing the Committee before the holidays.—( Hear.) Mr. DUNCOMBE said the question having been satis factorily answered, it would not be necessary to go into details.--( Hear, hear.) He believed it was almost gene rally the opinion throughout the country that beer-shops had much demoralized the morals of the people. In the county he had the honour to represent, at the Assizes, the Judge, the Grand Jury, and the Magistrates all said these shops were the fertile sources of crime. He had not the slightest wish to curtail the enjoyments of the people, on the contrary, he wished to elevate them in their moral state, and make them more happy. Sir C. BURRELL said in the country (beer shops were the resort of poachers and thieves, and in them many great crimes had been planned. When the Beer Bill was before the House, it was said the poor would have the benefit of cheap and better beer. But was that the case—had not the whole trade fallen into the hands of the large brewers. He knew one brewer who had no less than sixty of these beer shops of his own. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not give his assent to the second reading of this Bill, with out reserving to himself the right of exercising a proper dis cretion upon the details of the measure when it went into Committee. He admitted the principle that where intoxicating drinks were sold some police regulations were necessary; but if they applied a different rate to one description of public-house to that which they applied to another, they would raise an invi dious distinction, and create the very mischief which their legislation was intended to avert. The rule for limiting the hours should also be common to all these houses. He objected, however, to giving the landlord such a power over the tenant as the Bill proposed. He never would lend himself to any proposition which would introduce a new and most unheard-of covenant between the lessor and the lessee. Then with respect to licenses, it appeared to him that they would not raise the respect ability of any trade in proportion as they raised the amount of the licenses, and that taking too high an amount of duty I was not always the best plan for such a purpose. The amount which ought to be fixed, however, could be better discussed in Committee. It was said that the amount of the capital engaged in the beer trade was trifling, but he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) denied that. But even admitting the amount was trifling, the House would recollect that the trade had been called into existence by the legislation of that House, and that was an additional reason why the subject should be approached with great caution. He (the Chancellor of the Exhequer) had been recommended by the Hon. Gentleman not to raise the question of revenue on the present occasion, and he would admit that the question of revenue was not to be decisive of any vote of that House ; but this he would say, that if any step was taken by which a stop would be put to the sale of beer in these houses, and the monopoly again placed in the old licensed public houses, it would affect a greater amount of revenue than any other vote that had been come to by that House for sometime.—( Hear, hear.) H e would add that the rents of the barley growers and the in terests of the agriculturalfclasses were more deeply involved in the present question than many Hon. Members imagined. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME was glad be had given way to the Right Non. Gentleman, because his statements would be of im portance in enabling the House to come to a proper deci. sion. The House would not, however, take the statements of the Hon. Gentleman opposite without some reservation for it was well known that tens of thousands of the working classes, for whose accommodation these shops had been es- tablished, had stated that they now got much bet tea • an He cheaper beer than formerly.—(Hear, hear.) denied that there was any immorality or sntem perance practised in these shops. The poor man . .could enjoy his beer in moderation, and perhaps in that respect set an example to persons of a higher rank, and he n eed not refer to club-houses and hot-hells—(Great laught er)-- 111 proof of the immorality and intemperance preys. .iling . these circles. He was warranted in making that st atement by what had occurred during the fair in Hyde F ark after the Coronation, and the evidence there ws s that tl sere were more ptrsons of the class of the Hon. Gesstleman , in p oint of rank and property, engaged in riot and drunken ness than of the lower classes.—( Oh, oh.) The Hoc ourable Member then referred to the evidence of Col. Roy ran and Mr. Mayne for the purpose of showing that drun kermess and crime had diminished in the metropolis aisd its neigh bourhood, and that was ascribed to the increase .of beer houses and the diminished sale of spirits. It appeta.sed also from the same evidence that the number of c onv ictions which had taken place were much greater in t'ae case of puhlic houses than in beer shops. Of every 1(10 persons who had been convicted for adulterating beer 93 were pub licans and 7 the keepers of beer shops. He thou ght be had offered sufficient evidence to the House to show t hat the as sertions of the Hon. Gent. were not warranted by the fact. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL would rather re serve what he had to say until the Bill went into Com mittee. He thought, however, that the lion. Gentleman , whatever might be the cause, had taken up a very strong , prejudice against the Licensed Victuallers.—(.. No, no, from Mr. Hume.) He thought the Government ought to take the question into its own hands, and introduce some general measures for the better regulation of both beer-houses and public-houses. This would probably best please all classes.—( Hear, hear.) He thought the Hen. Gentleman would have great difficulty in getting his Bill passed. Mr. SLANEY thought the Hon. Member for Kilkenny was mistaken in his criminal statistics—the fitct being that crime, instead of having diminished, as he had said, had fearfully increased. Thirty years ago the committals for crime in this country, were only 5,000, now they had swelled to 30,000, while the growth of the population had not been in anything like a corresponding ratio.— (Hear, hear.) He thought the beer-houses held our irresistible temptations to the poor and the lower classes, and tended towards general crime and demoralization. He must, therefore, support the Bill of the Hon. Member for Droitwich, and, whether the Government should take the measure into its owe. hands or not, the country would still be much indebted to him. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AGL lONBY thought that the bear sellers should not be rode over because they were poor.—(Hear, hear.) He concurred generally with Mr. Hume that a most un just outcry had been raised against the beer sellers. Perhaps it would be better if the Government would in troduce a measure for the regulation of all parties con nected with the question. He (Mr. Aglionby) would however at once agree to the second reading of the Bill , but would most diligently overlook it when it came before the Committee. Mr. P. HOWARD objected to that clause of the Bill which proposed that the prices of licenses should be raised. Licensing should not be raised, except in the case of a WO or some other great emergency. He could see no necessity ; for the Bill. He would prefer to see the present s ystem retained under the superintendence of an effective rural police. Mr. PARKER read a statement which asserted that about Manchester, many of the beer-houses were conducte d as brothels, and the landlords were tried in great numbers for theft at every sessions in Salford. There were as manY as 480 beer-house keepers tried in 1138. He trusted his Hon. Friend would not allow the Government to take his Bill out of his own hands. The Bill was then read a second time, The Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and th e House adjourned at Half-past Seven o'Clock. THE MARKETS.
