Mr. KEOGPI eouplained that a resolution for affording such compensation should be proposed at so late an hour, and moved that the Chairman report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the Committee would consi der the resolution, unless some reason were shown for an -adjournment. 4 Mr. KEOGH said the only notice on the paper with refer enee to this subject was in these terms—" Exchequer Cham ber (Ireland)—Committee thereupon," and no intimation had been given that it was intended to propose a vote of a consi derable sum of money by way of compensation. Sir G. GREY said the resolution which had been proposed was substantially identical with the second clause of the Process and Practice (Ireland) Bill, which was in the hands of Hon. Membera, who might, therefore, have been aware that it was iediitacled to give compensation to certain officers; but, according to the rules of the House, it was nece?sary to agree to a resolution in Committee for granting such com pensation before the clause could be proposed in the Bill. Mr. IERRIES thought no difficulty would have arisen if the Attbrney-General for Ireland had, in proposing the re solution, explained its nature, and the grounds on which he proposed it. Mr. HATCHELL explained that by the Process and Practice (Ireland) Act regulations were to be made by the judges, and any person who might be thereby deprived of his office, or whose office might be diminished in value, was to be compensated. A Bill had now been brought in to re move a doubt whether the Act extended to the Court of Ex chequer Chamber, and this resolution was to found the,com pensation clause in that Bill. Mr. REYNOLDS inquired how many officers there were in the Exchequer Chamber, and what were their salaries? Mr. HATCHELL really did not know the number of officers. Mr. KEOGH thought the question ought to be answered, and would not withdraw his motion. The Committee then divided : For reporting progress EO Against it ... ••• ... 85 Majority ... —35 Mr. REYNOLDS would not consent to the vote without knowing the amount involved, and must move, that the Chairman do now leave the chair. Sir G. GREY believed it was impossible to state the ex act amount of the ti comoenaa-- • -on, because the matter was in the discretion of the Treasury, subject to certain rules. But he could state that there were but three officers concerned, and the highest salary was under 5001., so that the amount of compensation could only be a few hundred pounds. Mr. SADLEIR was glad to find that information was at last being furnished, tho ug h it came from the English and not the Irish functionary.—(A laugh.) Perhaps another division would procare the names of the officers, an account of their duties, and a statement whether they held any other offices in the public service. The Irish Members were be ginning to be of some little importance in that House— (Hear, hear)—and by acting. in concert would be able to check the practice of considering Irish business after mid night. They had at all times evinced a sincere disposition to co-operate with the Government - (Laughther)—and he ap pealed to the Master of the Rolls and the Home Secretary whether in legal matters it were not so? The MASTER of the ROLLS acknowledged the assistance he had received from the Irish Members in the absence of the law officers of the Crown from that House. Whether the officers of the Exchequer Chamber would be affected did not appear, but if they were it was proposed to take power to give compensation. Mr. KEOGH concurred with the Hon. Member for Dublin i n e pposia* further proceedings. Mr. WALPOLE thought the notice on the paper not suf ficiently explicit, but, as no person would be pledged by es renting to a mere matter of form, he suggested the with , drawal of the motion. . Mr. REYNOLDS, however, persisted, and The Committee divided, when there appeared — For Mr. Reynolds's motion... ••• —• Against it ... *** Majority ••• ..• •• •• On re-entering the gallery we found Mr. KEOGH moving that the Chairm4l report progress, and protesting against proceeding furthertt so late an hour. After a few words from Sir G. GREY, the motion was agreed to. The Cratamax reported progress, and the House resumed. The Sergeant -at-Arms appeared at the bar and intimated that he had executed the Speaker's warrant in the case of Henry Ed ards, a witness required to be in attendance before the St. Alban's Election Committee. On the motion of Sir G. GREY it was ordered that the Sergeant -at-Arms should retain Henry Edwards in custody and produce him before the Committee sitting on the St. Alban's election whenever required. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past One o'clock. -4: tIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. FIRST APPEARANCE of Mdlle. MONTI..

Now ready at all the "Abrades, in 2 volS., post Sve n I L A NOVEL. D. " The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a w riter of genius, inspired Cry a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, la which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobile of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes.”—Observer. Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one o: the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and /Impulsive genius, passionately fon 1 of music and poet r y and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —Morning Post.

We cannot, however, suppose that as ho has been so deci sively defeated on thatpoint, he will not ne prepared to vote on future occasions in favour of its modification . His own wor3s will remain on record against him. He declared that " if Sir ROBERT PEEL had any idea that the impost would have been made per manent, no doubt ho would have felt it his duty first to have it entirely remodelled and recast." This vindication of the departed and lamented states man, bs► his former colleague, from one of the few blots remaining on his memory, must be regarded as higbly satisfactory—first, as showing that if the Minister who introduced the tax were now living, he would, under the altered circumstances of the case, be one of the first to insist upon a revision of the assessment—and, secondly, that the support of the great financier of the Protectionists may be looked for when the question is fairly raised, as it must be some time before the measure has passed through all its stages in the House. Sir CHARLES WOOD may be disposed to look upon the division of last night as conclusive, but he will find that many such divisions must take place before the country is again subject to the incubus from which it has just escaped, al though that escape may be but for a brief period. As to Sir CHARLES WOOD himself, all we can say for him is, that he still blindly and obstinately adheres to the " conclusion" he had for merly arrived at. We confess that we had not much expectation of any improvement so far as he was personally concerned, but we did hope that the good sense of his colleagues would have induced them to interfere so as to remove the chief cause of the loss of popularity by the Government during the present session. He would blunder on recklessly ; but some of those who had the misfortune to be associated with him might have interfered to arrest his progress on " the road to ruin." They have not done so, however, and on their own heads the conse quences must fall. Of him we may adopt the lan guage of Blackwood, who in the :lumber for the present month truly remarks— " This inveterate Budget-bungler has more than once ere this led the Whigs to the very verge of destruction. We might apply to him with strict propriety the lines which Dryden has placed in the mouth of the Prince of Dulness— 'Shad well alone my perftct image bears, Mature in dulness tram his tender 3 ears; Shadwell alone of all my Eons is he Who stands confirmed in full stupidity. The rest to some faint meaning make pretence, But Shadwell never deviates into sense. Some beams of wit on (miler souls may fall, Strike through, and make a lucid interval; But Shadwell's genuine night admits no ray, His riling fogs prevail upon the day.' " Yes, the ' genuine night" of the Ministerial SHAD WELL " admits no ray," but we might have looked for some dispersal of the fogs from his coadjutors, who " To some faint meaning make pretence." They have, however, disappointed the reasonable ex • pectation, and we must therefore prepare ourselves for the contest that is thus forced upon us—and the once Liberal Ministry can only blame themselves for the result, whatever it may be. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Leominster was the only person who placed the subject in the true point of view. His was unquestionably the speech of the evening, and he enunciated the soundest principles put forward during the debate. He clearly pointed out the objections to the amend ment and to the resolution, showing that he was obliged to dissent from the former, and that he could not approve of the latter. He declared himself favourable "to the principle of an income-tax, because it combined that system of direct and indirect taxation, which was the means of making the wealthier classes con tribute in a manner proportioned to their means to the revenue required for defraying the public expenditure of the country," but he showed a just appreciation of the evils of the present system, and put forward the strongest argument for considerable alterations in Schedules D and E. " Many a man," said the Hon. Gentleman, " might have a nominal amount of income, the whole amount of which he was not able to dispose of; and no one would venture to deny that there was a difference between a life income and a permanent income, between an income which a man enjoyed as long as he lived, and after his death left to. his descendants that came after him, and an income which he held on a tenure so frail and fleeting as his own life. And if there was a distinc tion between a life income and a permanent income, there was a still broader distinction between either of those incomes and incomes which were held on contingencies more precarious than life itself, such contingencies as fortune, health, reputation, and employment. A man in that position was bound by every consideration of duty, by every dictate of prudence and foresight, not merely to lay by a portion of that income for the pur pose of assisting those who came after him to make a start in life, but for the support of his own declin•. ing years or decaying health." These are opinions to which we have often given expres sion, and which must be responded to by the people, which must find an echo in every unpreju diced mind—an echo which must disturb the " con clusion" at which Sir CHARLES WOOD has arrived with so much self-satisfaction--considering that "as the tax was so unjust to all, it might happen not to be se very unjust to any one." A satisfactory settlement of the Ministerial diffi culties appears to be altogether impracticable until after a dissolution. With the House of Commons as at present constituted, there really cannot by possi bility be any stable adjustment of an Administration. To adventure upon any such extraordinary step to wards the elucidation of the problem would, however, be just now, to say the very least of it, in the highest degree inconvenient. Therefore it is that the matter is for the time being procrastinated. Therefore it is that the Legislature is disposed to accept the return of the present Administrators to office in preference to what would be yet more un satisfactory—namely, a reference of the ques tion at this particular moment to the opinion of the electors throughout the United Kiegdorn. Rather than jeopardise the whole of the gigantic scheme of the Industrial Exposition, the people themselves are prepared to submit to the perpetuation in power of a Cabinet so effete as that presided over by Lord JOHN RUS3ELL. Until the autumn, conse quently, it is anticipated that the affairs of the nation will be allowed to remain in their present lamentable state of confusion— when, the impediment pres iously standing in the way of an appeal to the country being removed, the constituencies will again have the privilege of selecting the most eligible of their respective candidates. For a while, therefore, many of the most cherished plans of im provement must remain in abeyance, the multitude exercising that:patience which is alone left to them as a duty, coupled with the consolation of an implicit confidence in the character of the next Parliament. Under existing circumstances, of course, it can not be matter of surprise to find the various parties and sections of parties among poli ticians flattering themselves with the anticipation of an overwhelming triumph over their antagonists. The paeans chanted, already in expectation of those hypothetical victories are only the rational result of the illusions indulged in for so long a period by the majority. Demonstrations have been made so noisily by the Protectionists throughout the United Kingdom, that it is but natural to find the organs of the agriculturists already exulting in the looked-for acquisition of the reins of government. The Free traders, on the contrary, satisfied with the complete success of their agitation, have for a considerable period indulged in what to their leaders must have appeared a delicious as well as an unwonted tranquillity. Having witnessed the re-organi zation of the mercantile system of the empire upon the basis of their principles, they shrunk back severally into the quietude which proved to them doubly delightful after the ar duous struggle with the advocates of monopoly. The Anti Corn-law Rhymer played no more on that oaten pipe whose breathings had thrilled to the hearts of even the most ignorant and the most prejudiced. The Catechist of Protection put forth no longer those posers of inquiries which helped as much as anything to lay bare the peradoxes and the sophisms of the sticklers for imposts on the national provisions. The orators of the League, the eloquent Member for the Tower Hamlets, the irnpessionec3 representative of Oldham, and, conspicuous among all, the plain-spoken genius of COBDEN and of his principal colleague in the enterprise adventured upon against the most law less of all systems of taxation—the taxation imposed upon the food of the bard- working masses of the com munity—lapsed into silence, and for a while le ft the ear of the country to the dolorous complaints of the vanquished. It has thus come to pass that an extraordinary confidence has grown up in the hearts of the Protec tionists—a confidence that, before long, the old laws imposing duties upon provisions must be revived, for the gratification of the agriculturists. They have construed the silence of their victors into an as surance that no obstruction will be thrown in the way of their return to the obsolete code of monopoly. Dreamers that they are, they have flattered them selves into a belief that no insurmountable difficulties will impede their progress in their return to their ancient predominance. Hence they have derived rather encouragement to their hopes than the contrary from the non-success of Lord STANLEY in his recent attempt to cook up an Administration. They behold in the weakness of the existing Cabinet an incontro vertible assurance of their own competence to follow its Members as the Administrators of the affairs of the British Government. For the purpose of sustaining themselves in this very gratifying be lief they put the most preposterous construction upon all the revelations of their latest experience. Where every one else sees prosperity, they behold only the calamitous destitution consequent upon a Free-trade innovation. They perceive discontent where all others see satisfaction, and behold on all sides the auguries of their speedy return to power, and with that the speedy revival of Protectionist principles. As if the multitude having once tasted the sweets of cheap bread and of cheap provisions of all kinds would be disposed to forego that privilege, at the behest of a statesman hungering himself for the loaves and fishes of the Government ! But it is maintained by the prophetic advocates of the agricultural interest, that the next election must inevitably send to the House of Commons an over whelming majority of Protectionists, and that by necessity therefore the new Cabinet must return to the bygone policy of the monopolists. All that can be responded to such a marvellously self-sufficient and short-sighted Ye ticination is that no more terrible calamity than this could fall to the lot of the expected Prime Minister. To furnish him with such a Protectionist majority would be to force him to adopt the most perilous policy a Minister was ever compelled to accept as the outline of his scheme of government. It would be driving him reluctantly, if he were wise, and wilfully if he were foolish, into a course of proceedings the most admirably calculated to provoke all the turbu lent passions conducting a nation to a state ripe for revolution. Against any such supreme danger it behoves all his real well .wishers to pray that Lord STANLEY may be defended—conscious as they all must be that the diffusion of liberty and the develop ment of civilization depend, in a very great measure upon the maintenanc:of order in the United Kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. V:srious attempts at forming a permanent - Ministry were made during the course of Saturday, Sunday, nd yesterday, but they have all failed, in conse quence, it is said, of the intrigues of M.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 hales. The market was heavy, at previous rates, except inferior qualities. which were r ther lower. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 200 B.hia, at 7%d. to Bd. ; 30 Egyptian, at 7%d. to 84d. ; 1,000 Surat, at 4d. to 54d.; and s 0 Sea Isla d, at Is. 2d. to Is. 9d. per lb.-, In Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices. The st ete of the Metal Market is described by Messrs. W. Sbort and Co. in the terms subjoined :- In Iron, with the exception of a fair dema-'d for rails of the America , flange pattern, we have scarce anything to note; for these 51. ss.(and it is said Si. is 6d.) pe ton have been paid. Bars are in very moderate demand, and good marks are obtainable at 41. 15s. in Wales. Scotch pigs have been greatly neglected, and the price has declined about Is. per ton. Of mixed numbers ordinary blends, there are sellers ut 41s payment against bills of lad ng, and 41s. 6d. against storekeepeas' tree on board warrants. Ot Swedish there is a limited quantity in stock, and good assortments are not to be had under 14/. per ton. " Swedish Steel is firmly held for the price quoted. Copper is firm in price, and in lair demand. Tin-English wa- ' on Ist instant reduced 41. per ton. In Foreign we have had a limited business, and we quote the price about 21. per ton lower; the last sales of Banat in Holland were made at a price equivalent to 83s. per ton, shipped free in bond there. Tin Plates continue in very fair demand. Lead is without alteration. Spelter has declined to about 1: a 10s. per ton on the spot, and for delivery during the suranier a considerable quantity has been sold at 151. 55." Some days ago we gave an abstract of the contents of Mr. Locke's proposed Railway Audit Bill, and we have now before us the plan of Messrs. Stanford arid Mullings, which has likewise been brought into Parliament. Upon the whole we incline to think that the first-named will have the pre ference, the latter being too ins olvcd, and containing too many wheels within wheels. The preparers of the Bill de sire that a board of railway auditors shall be established, to consist of five persons, neither directors nor shareholders, nor otherwise interested. A special meeting of proprietors and holders of debentures, &c., is to be held within four calendar months from the passing of this Act, and at this elec. tors will be chosen in the proportion of one for every 500,000/. of capital of the railway; or if the total capital be less than that amount, still one elector may be appointed, and the parties voting for him must have held their stock not less than six calendar months, and to the amount at least of 100/. ; neither can the directors or other officers vote. The number to constitute a meeting must hold at least one-fifth of the capital, and proxies must be sent three clear days before to the secretary. Every 1001. capital stock will give the right to one vote, and one more vote for every five shares beyond the first ten with limitations upwards. When the electors are chosen, the Board of Trade will advertise their names, and convene them to take into consideration the claims of the different candidates for the office of auditors, who will be ballotted for, one auditor only being chos-n at each meeting. A party from the Board of Trade will officiate as secretary at these meetings of electors. The auditors will be appointed for life, but subject to re moval for gross negligence or misconduct. The general duties of the auditors will be to inspect the accounts kept by all railway companies, to call for vouchers, distinguish capital from revenue, inquire into all pecuniary obligations, including cases, guarrantees, and if expedient to examine the directors, clerks, and other officers of the company. Non compliance will subject the offending parties to a fine of 201. per diem. The auditors, as far as practicable, will keep up a "continuous" audit, and print and circulate half-yearly a clear statement made out upon one uniform plan, showing the real financial condition of the company, thefprofit and loss, the amount available for dividend, but without the power to fix such dividend, and may append any observe ions they think fi'. These will have to be, read out at the meetings of shareholders, and sold at a low charge to the public generally, the same as Parliamentary reports are. The auditors may appoint a secretary and clerks, the secretary not to have more than 600/., nor any other officer more than 400/. per annum. The five auditors are to have 1,201.1. per annum each. The railway companies will have to defray the expense of convening meetings to choose electors, but no elector will be paid more than The Commissioners of the Railway Department of the Board of Tra le will defray their own expenses out of the fuads voted by Parliament, but the entire cost of the audi tors and thei officers will be liquidated by a general " audit rate," levied upon the " net" profits of the companies, which will pay the said rate half-yearly into the Bank of England. These comprise the objects of the proposed Act. The followi g particulars of the state of the Cotton Market is from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, of 15th ult . published by Bar. Jame% Irvine, of Liverpool :- " NEW ORLEANS. MARCH 15. -COTTON.-0 r last review was dated let inst , and lett our market in a depressed state, with fair sales, however. The arrival of the 15th February steamer, subsequently to the above gate, bringing news of a further decline in the Liverpool market, and a limited busi ness at Manchester, had the effect again of unsettling this n- arket, and the sales during the first week of this month amounted to 2/,500 bales, at very irregular prices, ranging from 94 to 10%c. fo middling. according to the nature of orders for even running' or mixed average' parcels of this grade-the termer being very.scarce, in consequence of the large quantities of deciriedly low and i ferior qualities, coming to market from all points, aed indicating clearly that they are the complement of crops In this state of things, the accounts from Liverpool of the 22d were looked for, and no one doubted that that market would have given way fur ther; the steamer arrived, however, reporting no change in prices. but a firmer market. Factors were thereby induced to demand improved rates, and not being met by buyers whose letters have not yet come to hand, the business tran sacted this week has amounted to 21,700 bales, at more regu lar and somewhat more improved prices, say 9 3 / 4 to 1014 for middling, as in qua ity, while the higher grades, from the scarcity, maintain a a alue relatively much higher, good middling being held firmly at 11 to 11 1 Ac. As to the ex tent of our present crop, we see no good reason to change our views lately expressed. The continued large receipts have been by some construed into an evidence of a great product this season, but had we not reliable infoimation from the shipping points of the interior, the experience of past short crop years, showing invariably the heaviest per centage of receipts, we should still be unshaken in our opinion. Pains have been taken to ascertain the most reliable accounts, and from the best source, within a few days; the result shows that the average of receipts for this port is barely 880 m Wei against 830 m in 1849-50. We have accounts from Red River, according to which a vast extent of Cotton lands are three ened with inundation; the stock of cattle are being re moved, and planting of the crop to come is postponed inde finitely. We define the present position of the market by the following quotations, :-Ordinary, 8 to 84c. ; good ordinary, 9 to 9 ' f ie.; middling, 10 to 10 1 4 c. ' • good middling, 11 to 11: 1 As c.•, middling fair, 114 to 113/4c.; fair, 12 to 124 c. Sales during the last fortnight, 44,200 bales; receipts at this port since Ist Sept., 744,809 bales, against 651,239 bales last year ; increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 143,134 bales." The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada has bad all the required capital paid up, and a reference to its im portant objects may be made hereafter under this head. The Amsterdam Market was rather animated for Spanish Bonds on Sunday, but dull for other stocks. The English Funds continue very firm. Consols are 96 3 jb % for Transfer, and 96% to 97 for May.

This morning Charles Gill, the working jeweller, of Ne vi c i ington, who was cummitted from this court, for the want bail, some weeks since on the charge of having sent a tbrear, ening letter to Lord John Russell, at his official residence Downing. street, was brought from the House of Detenti° for the purpose of being liberated upon bail. It will be remembered that Gill was ordered by Mr. Sep to enter into his own recognizances in the sum o f 1001., a n d to procure two substantial bail, to keep the peace and be good behaviour towards the Premier for the next tWol f months. He was sent to p r i son i n d e f su lt o f fi n ding ,t u, _m, required bail; and about a f or t n i g ht a ft erwar d s two tram° men offered to be his bail.

Mr. Howgood and Gill then entered the clerk's office, et i , their names and addresses having been taken, th e magistre" . ordered Gill to be discharged.

In the House of Lords last night, The Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny Bill, and the Apprentices and Servants Bill, were respectively read a second time, and their Lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons, A new writ was ordered for the Leith Boroughs for the election of a Member, in the room of Mr. RUTHER FORD, who had been appointed a Lord of the Court of Session, Scotland. On the requisition of the Chairman of the St. Alban's Election Committee the SPEAKER issued warrants for the apprehension of EDWARDS, HAYWARD, and WAG GETT, who had been guilty of contempt. On the report of the Committee of Ways and Means being brought up, . Mr. BERRIES rose, in pursuance of the notice he had given, to propose an amendment to the resolution which had been read, and which was to the following effect :—" That it is the opinion of this H ,use that the respective duties in Great Britain on profits arising from property, professions, trades, and offices, and the stamp duties in Ireland, granted by two Acts passed in the sixth year of her present Majesty, and which have been continued and amended by several subsequent Acts, were granted for limited periods, and to meet temporary exigencies that it is & highly expedient to adhere to the declared intentions of Parliament when these duties were granted end continued ; and, in order to secure their speediest practicable cessation, to limit the renewal of any portion of them to such an amount as may be sufficient, in the existing state of the public re venue, to provide for the expenditure sanctioned by Par liament, and for the due maintenance of public credit." The Right Hon. Gentleman entered at great length into the financial history of the country during the last ten years, and explained the reasons which had induced Sir ROBERT PEEL to propose the imposition of an income tax in 1842. He then proceeded to quote at great length from the speeches of Lord Joss ItusseeL, Sir F. BA RING, Lord HOWICK, Mr. LABOUCHERE, and Sir CHARLES WOOD, against the imposition of the income tax when proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and called upon them to explain the reasons which had induced them to change their opinions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that, in 1845, the income-tax had been renewed not in conjunc tion with, bat as a substitute for import duties, and as the basis of the great experiment of free trade. He there fore, following the example of Sir R. PEEL, proposed its renew al for three years, in order that they might continue and carry out free-trade principles. He denied that he in tended to make it a permanent tax, but be would rather see it permanent than consent to a re-imposi tion of the duties ou corn. Mr. PRINSEP supported the amendment. Mr. F. PEEL supported the re-imposition of the in come- tax for the purpose of carrying out the principles of free trade; the proposition of the Hon. Member for Stamford was a retrograde step. Mr. T. BARING, Mr. BOOKER, Mr. SPOONER, Mr. REYNOLDS, Lord CLAUD HAMILTON, and Mr. SHARMAN CRA.WFORD supported the amendment; and Mr. J. WILSON, Mr. SLANEY, and Sir R. INGLIS were in favour of the original proposition. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the original proposition ... ... 278 For Mr. HERRIES'S amendment ... 230 Majority for Ministers ... —4B The Designs Act Extension Bill was read a third time and passed. The Apprentice &a Service (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and the House resumed. The House then went into Committee, when the AT TORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND moved a resolution to give compensation to certain officers of the Exchequer Chamber (Ireland). After a short discussion, Mr. KEOGH moved that the Chairman should report progress, when the House di vided, and the numbers were— For the motion . 50 Against it... ... 85 Majority against the motion _35 Mr. REYNOLDS moved that the Chairman leave the chair. After some discussion the Committee divided, when thered appeared — For the motion ... Again-t it... __ Majority ... 35 ... 77 ... -42 Mr. KEOGH protested against proceeding further at that late hour, and moved that the Chairman report pro gress. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One. The discussion and division of last night on Mr. HERFUES' amendment, cannot be received as,fairly in dicating the state of public feeling on the important question of the income-tax. A false issue has been raised; the real point has been carefully avoided on either side. The people of England, while approving of a direct tax on accumulated and realised property, strongly objected to the unfair and unequal assess ment of the impost which placed the precarious earn ings of industry on the same foundation as the dividends, interest, or annual produce of real or per sonal property. They desired an equitable adjustment of the impost, not its removal ; they proved of the principle of direct taxation, but no t of direct taxation in the existing form. The debate of last night could only be regarded, therefore, as a species of sham fight, got up for the purpose of diverting attention from the real r ot subject.

Accounts from Berlin of the 6th state that Austria has consented to the Prussian proposition for the re construction of the old Frankfort Diet. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Austria having succeeded, under pretence of being the ally of Denmark, in inundating the Duchies with her troops, is now assiduously engaged in endeavouring to pick a quarrel with Denmark, in order to have an exc use for keeping those troops there at the expense of her ally. General SIGNoRINI, the Austrian Com missioner, acting, no doubt, under the instructions of his Government, has behaved in so insulting a manner to the Danish Commissary that a challenge has been the consequence. The fact is, that Austria has an enormous army which she cannot pay or sub - sist, and therefore she endeavours to quarter them on her neighbours ; her policy is, in fact, an or ganized system of plunder. It is really time that the solvent and civilized Governments of Europe should combine together to put a stop to the swir.dlings and robberies of this Bankrupt and Bri gand Power. ITALY. All the members of the Municipal Council of Milan have resigned, in order to avoid the necessity of pay ing homage to the Emperor of AUSTRIA during his approaching visit to the city.

The men at work in the yard first perceived the place to be on fire. Unfortunately, after the arrival of the enginEs, '5 minutes elapsed before a drop of water could be procured, and the flames had acquired such an ascendancy that it was not until noon that the firemen succeeded in ex tinguishing them. The official report gives the damage as follows : " A brick building, 130 feet long, called fire-proof the furniture, &c., in ditto seriously burned and damaged by fire, smoke, and water, on ground and first floors. The window-frames broken out. Supposed caws of fire—lron pipe from hot air furnace. The premises were uninsured; the contents at present not known if insured." Mr. Womb well's collection of pictures, valued at 40,0001., were in the depository, but were saved from destruction. THE FRIMLEY MURDERERS.—Levi Harwood and Jones will be executed at Horsemonger-lane gaol on Tues day morning the 22d instant, and not on Monday, as stated in our paper of yesterday. It appears that the county authorities have very judiciously given directions that when executions are necessary they shall for the future take place on Tuesdays, as that will allow the preparations to be made without desecrating the Sabbath, as has here tofore unfortunately been the case. CUSTOMS.--Yesterday being the first day of the official year, the arrangement for the annual supply of the several dock establishments, quays, and warehouses, and sufferance wharfs on the river side with landing officers of the Customs' department for the ensuing year, took place. By this arrangement a certain sufficient number e f searchers and other landing officers are stationed at each of the great dock establ.shinents for general business pur poses, and also at the Custom-house for the supply of the quays and wharfs on either side of the river, the residue being retained to meet the general requirements of the trade of this vast port. AN INCiDENT OF THE CENSUS.- One of the collec tors under the Census Act, in the neighbourhood of Hulme, received a blank return from one man ; and he was asked why it was not filled up? The reply was, that nobody had slept in the house the preceding night. " Was the house empty, then ?" he inquired. " No," was the re joinder; "but my wife was confined of twins f or th e thi r d time, abort ten o'clock, and nobody has over slept since !" THE POLISHING BRIGADE.—O❑ Saturday a num ber of young men, dressed in red uniform, and furnished with apparatus for cleaning clothes and shoes, were sta tioned in the vicinity of the Exhibition building. aid west end thoroughfares. They are all lettered, and wear badges in scribed " The Shoeblack Society." They have been selected to these offices from the London ragged schools, previous to being assisted to emigrate. CITY OF LONDON PENSION SOCIETY.—A general meeting of this society took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the election of four addi tional pensioners from a list of thirty-five candidates; Jas. Harmer, Esq., in the chair. The report etated the great pleasure it afforded the directors to be again enabled to pre sent to the benevolent supporters of this charity an oppor tunity of exercising their privileges of voting in the election of an additional rumber of pensioners. Since the founda tion of this charity it had been the happy instrument of affording relief in old figO to I'o less than 573 poor pen2ioners, thereby distributing in mont!_dy pensions the sum of 56,214 .
