Morning .- 5 minutes after 13 1 Evening •- 49 minutes after 10, subject of a return of the number of forces in Ireland, The Earl of ABERDEEN, i❑ answer to a question from the Earl of CLARENDON, stated, that representa tions had been made to the American Government on the subject of certain alleged violations of the commercial treaties subsis'ing between the tw•o countries. The Constables Bill (Scotland) was read a second time, and after the presentation of various petitions their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'Clock. Various private Bills were read a second time with- out opposition. The London and York Railway Bill was read a second time, after a slight opposition from Mr. MONCKTON MILNES. On the motion that the Norwich and Brandon Rail way Bill (Dins Deviation) be read a second time, Mr. M. GIBSON proposed to postpone the second reading for a fortnight, on the ground that the Board of Trade had reported against it, and that therefore the second reading ought to be postponed until the House should be in possession of the reasons of the Board for their report. Lord HowicK said that the objections of the Hon. Gentleman would be met by the resolutions of the Railway Committee, which would be presented to- morrow (this day). The Mil was ultimately read a second time, Mr. M. GinsoN having withdrawn his proposition. Among the Notices of Motion given was one by Mr. T. S. DIJNCOMBE, for leave to bring in a Bill, immediately after Easter, to secure the inviolability of letters passing through the Post-office—one by Mr. SIIEIL, for Tuesday, March 11, to move a resolution, expressing the regret of the House that letters ad dressed to foreigners residing in this country had been opened at the Post-office without their knowledge or sanction, and that certain information with regard to the disturbances in the Papal States should have been communicated to a foreign Power ; and one by Mr. SPOONER, to move three clauses in the Income-tax Bill, to enable tradesmen to make de ductions from the profits for sums paid to their own families as assistants in carrying on their business, for parochial and other rates, for life-insurance, and for articles necessary for carrying on their trade, be fore the profits should be assesed to the property-tax. In answer to a question from Mr. HAwEs, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the Government did not intend to propose any alteration in the tobacco duties, and Sir R. PEEL, in answer to Mr. P. ScaorE, stated that no negotiations were pending with Russia to re move the export duty imposed by that cuuntry en tallow. Mr. ROEBUCK asked whether there was any ob jection to lay before the House the negotiations which had taken place Kith the United States on the subject of the Oregon territory, and alluded to the Bill at present before Congress on the subject, and to the bluster and bullying which had been had recourse to in the American House of Representatives. Sir R. PEEL could not consent to disclosing the progress of negotiations which were will pending. He agreed with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman in disapproving the language which had been made use of, but our relations were not with the House of Re presentatives. A short conversation ensued, in the course of which Mr. DIVETT drew the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet to a work on California, by M. MOPRAT, now publishing in Paris, in which the justice of the claim of England to the Oregon territory is distinctly admitted. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER said that in addition to the notice on the subject of the sugar duties, he wished to draw the attention of the House to the necessity of passing the Consolidated Fund Bill before Easter, and as the resolution on that sub ject was an ordinary vote, he trusted there would be THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAYMORNING, MARCH 4, 1845. minster and Vauxhall-roads, called Kenn'Agton-greL.n. A contemptible addition to the Revenues of the Duchy is to be made ; as we are informed, by the contemptible expedient of building over that once open space, now coves ed with a double line of nondescript brick tenements, half house, half shop the following list of revenues, she can well afford to make the sacrifice. " The Queen-Mother," says that journal," could not pos• sibly continue to receive a pension of three millions wrested from a suffering people. when she is so rich, and the owner of the salt-works of Drenu in the Jura mountains, of the magnificent palace of Malmaison, near Paris, of the fine estate of Vista Alegra, of the lucrative gas-light works at the Havannah, of enormous sums invested in England and France, and above 130,000,000 reals, the sum to which the pension she has hitherto received amounts, not including King Ferdinand's legacy." - —entirely a mean and sordid mass of brick and mortar. The " war of occupation" has been largely pushed over one side of Kennington-common. This Common is in progress of purloining from the public, and in due time will disappear, we doubt not, as Kennington-green has already passed away. Away then, we say, with all Bills to " facilitate inclosures and improvements of commons," to facilitate " the exchange of lands and the division of intermixed lands—to provide remedies for defective or incomplete executions," &c. &c. Any Bill, on the contrary, to prevent such inclosures, to exclude and abolish all such projects of improvements and exchanges, except by a majority of the votes of every holder of a tenement rated under a certain value, within the whole district, ha% ing, whether by charter or pre scription, custom or sufferance, rights of common and common rights on such lands—shall have our • cordial support and advocacy. But we don't desire to give Lords of Manors one tittle more of such " facilities " than they have already in all conscience! Let any man who would study this subject under its practical aspects, go down to Epping Forest, and examine with his own eyes the wholesale inclosures made under sanc- The Three per Cents. left off on the 22d at 334 at 60 days; the Fire per Cents. at 24i fur cash, and 244 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 7 fur cash, and 7i at 60 days. The Paris papers bring further details of events in Switzerland, which may be considered on the whole as sati.factory. There appears on the part of the public authorities in general a disposition to settle disputes amicably, and make allowances for the excitement caused by the restless spirit of the Jesuits. The Extraordinary Diet which assembled at Zurich on the 24th, as stated in The Sun of Saturday, proceeded to verify the returns of the Deputies from the different cantons. That from Vaud excited some discussion, but, on a division, the Members elected by the new Council were admitted by a majority of twelve and a half to nine. It may be lie_ cessary to mention that some of the small cantons have only half a vote. The Deputies from the following can tons voted against the admission of the Deputies from Vaud :—Uri, Unterwald, Zug, St. Gall, Valais, Neufchatel, Fribourg. Schwitz, and Lucerne. The President of the Diet, M. BotissoN, Burgomaster of Zurich, made a peaceful and judicious address to the Diet. After adverting to the resignation of the consti tutional ...uthoritles at Lucerne, he said, " It is super fluous to dwell at greater length on the imminent dangers that threaten the federal alliance, if questions of the greatest moment be settled, not by the proper autho rities and after mature examination, but by violent deci sions. To remedy the evils of the couctry, to restore and consolidate profound peace between the confederacy, such is the principal task of the supreme federal au thority. It behoves the concurring cantons alone to devise suitable measures and to enforce them." Lord ABERDEEN in his dispatch to Mr. Monism, the English Envoy, to the Swiss Cantons, which we have given in another place, states the view which the British Government takes of the question, and re commends, as the only means of preventin.; foreign inter. ference, the adjustment of differences without destroying the constitutional compact, and forming a New Switzer land, which would necessarily involve the intervention of the foreign Powers which, in 1815, sanctioned the ori ginal compact. A letter from Zurich, of the the 25th, states that a long discussion arose in the Diet whether they should proceed first to the question of the Jesuits, which was affirmed by a majority of thirteen States to nine. These papers announce no collisions between the contending parties, but the people through out the federation take a deep interest in the decision of the Diet, and look to it with anxiety. The Jesuits themselves, true to their cautious policy seem anxisus to withdraw from the contest, at present, under the advice of the POPE. " The Swiss journals," says the Journal des Deb/its, "announce that, in conse quence of an intervention of the Court of Rome, the company of Jesus has rescinded the compact entered into with the Government of Lucerne, and that the Jesuits have renounced the idea of making an appeal to the canton. We have reason to believe that the statement is correct, but we must confess that we do not think that this wise-and conciliating step will be accepted in the same spirit by the Radical party. The men who wish to revolutionize Switzerland will in all probability try to urge matters to extremities ; they will require that the other cantons which have hitherto been open to the Je suits shall be closed against them." The other Ministerial paper, the Globe, says in jest, but tion f 7 f Lords of the Manor, or Verderers, or by them, or by tenants from whom they receive rents. If they should get at the authority for such inclo sures, especially the more modern of them, we shall be obliged to them for its communication to us. We know of no domestic questions on which successive Parliaments have more scandalously neglected their duty to the people—to the most meritorious class the people—the honest but indigent labourer, agri cultural or mechanic, in towns and cities, or in ham lets and villages—than in their grasping, sordid, selfish legislation of the last five-and-forty years, in filching from the poorest and least protected orders of our countrymen those sylvan rights, if we may so call them, which are as dear to all the natural asso ciations, as they are identified with the most ancient and most national rights of all English subjects. In the pamphlet embodying Mr.GRANTLEY BERKELEY'S " Reply to the Press," to which we have adverted, on the game-laws, there is a pervading error which is com mon to the defences set up by the advocates of that offensive branch of class legislation. Country gen tlemen are prone to assume that the game laws are ne cessary—expedient--of public utility, and that the case for their existence being thus established and admitted, the only question to be settled is, whether they are the best sort of laws that can be devised for their object, or may not, by remote possibility, be susceptible of some amendments ? On this account it is, we presume, that Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY imagines that in his former enterprise on the character of game-law champion, "he stood forth to the field, not as tic first challenger —not as a wilful assailant," but simply in succour of the dis tressed." Both these propositions are false. Every game-preserver (a class with which our author ostenta- tiously announces his own identification), is the "chal lenger" in the "first" instance; and betakes him to the oppression, NOT t) the succour of the distressed." He challenges the reprobation of public opinion : he assists the action of statutes of grinding tyranny upon the most friendless and impoverished members of society. The public, as a body, is not interested in the secondary question of the degree in which the game-laws may be excused or reformed ; but it is in the general issue, game-laws or no game-laws. All Mr. BERKELEY'S ad vocacy turning upon the apology and defence he thinks he can make for the game-laws as they are, his argu ment is addressed, in fact, to that very small minority in the empire who are for game-laws "at all ;" not to the great bulk of the population, who are clearly in favour of no game-laws." The real majority of Mr. BERKELEY'S compatriots, therefore, cannot enter into the merits of his personal squabbles with cool-headed magistrates, or game-keepers who deliberate before they "punch people's heads." The whole system of game-laws is on its trial at the tribunal of public opinion, on the great principles of natural, and even of social, law, which we enunciated lately. Mr. BERKELEY does not appear to suspect that his views are all based upon, and referable to, mere local aspects under which the operation of this system has presented itself to his observation in given localities. He must be prepared to learn that there is a world, beyond the topographical circuit of his experiences, as to be rude enough to discard all considerations of the extent and management of game-preserving establish ments, even if they belong to Berkeley Castle—and whether they be found in Gloucestershire, or Sussex, or Hampshire. The public at large is now disposed to consider whether any degree of indulgence with which it might be inclined to regard the sports of country gentle men, by throwing a greater ora less degree of protection around the game which is the object of so many of those sports, will not be much too dearly granted at the cost of leading to so many outrages, offences, crimes, convic tions, and the county expenditure consequent on the legal proceedings thereby occasioned, which our game laws have heretofore entailed in a continuous and fearful succession. It will be a mournful day—a day of agrarian humiliation and quarter-sessions sackcloth, to be sure, when the exclusive rights of property on the gam e , of preserving, and (dearest of all !) of exterminating it, with all the mysteries and qualifications of certificates, and deputations—informations and convictions—night watches and captions of poachers, with all the incidental luxuries of batees for the exclusive friends of the game owner—shall be put down by the repeal of the statutes we are . contemplating. But many calmly-thinking men, of judgment, discretion, and talents, perhaps even of as much experience as Chairmen of Quarter Sessions as Mr. BERKELEY himself, have expressed their conviction that it may be better to repeal the game laws altogether than leave them to reproduce, year after year, their constant cycles of petty oppression and insolent persecu tion on the one hand—•:f perjury, treachery, violence, crime, and bloodshed, on the other. We cannot flatter Mr. BERKELEY by saying that he has in his last pamphlet approached the true gist of the game-law question. We can as little compliment him on his talent for controversy. His style is the oddest imaginable. A species of private-theatrical, stilted declamation, seems to be the " rein" in which he is most given to indulge. But there is one yet more favourite purpose which he is bent on establishing—namely, the announcing to all whom it may —or may not—concern, that he is of the aristocracy. "If we, the aristocracy, the landed gentry, and the preservers of game" (p. 3)— " that we, the upper classes, make the criminal" (p. 6) —" the class to which I belong" (p. 19)—" we, who are taunted with calling ourselves the nobility" (p. 22) " I completeky repel accusations against my order" (p. 24). The inverted commas and italics, being Mr. BERKKLEY* not ours, may serve to point the va lue which that gentleman attaches to these im portant hints of his quality. But they are not even satis• factory to this extent. The darling sin of being figurative is another of his infelicities. He rushes into simile s and expatiates in metaphor, the parts of which have no more relation to one another than those of the nonde ssiript suggested by HoEACE, in his epistle, "Ad Pisoncm." He writes (page 2), "Not even a rivet of my armour—or an outer defence —has been won by the enemy." The rivet would have been a treasure among the spolia opima of a defeated antagonist. Addressing certain opponents of the game-laws (page 14), he says, " You are at such loss for argument, and so threadbare in your souroes of real arrangement." What kind of sources " threadbare" ones may be, has never been deter mined by those who have tracked the Nile or the Ganges, or the 13urhmapoota to its fountain head. But this is mere geographical rhetoric. Mr. BERKELEY can call in the aid of chemical illustration :—e. 9., " Does this lessen the turpitude of an offender in the one instance, or neu !tratize, by a vislunus soda, the filthy acids of the vice so violent in the other ?" Henceforth, on the scale of pharmaceutical morality, let potass take precedence of tartaric salts. But if Mr. BERKELEY sometimes is thus careless, he is at others more guarded ; for at p. 46, when he has a topic to handle with which he is better acquainted than the principles and operation of laws, his caution and solemnity are edifying. " The present price of cheese (I am speaking advisedly, and of the pre sent year, 1845) does not remunerate the maker in the vale." The present price of absurd pamphlets (we say it "advisedly") will never remunerate Mr. BERKELEY. So we leave him, with his cheese in the " vale," from which he will do well not readily again to ride forth on such adventures as he has undertaken on behalf of the game-laws. es_ there is much wisdom in the advice:—" If we were the general of the Jesuits, we would transport the whole order to America, and thus make the charivarists of the Vaud and the Consaitionnel of Paris die of chagrin. Let us add that there, where there is much to correct and civilise, the Jesuits may do great things. In Europe there is little or nothing left for them to do. The Jesuits by coming to this resolution, would besides render a real service to the cause of religion; for it w.,uld be saved from attacks under the pretence of attacking them. This would prevent the whole clergy of France from being confounded with the order, which, whether right fully or wrongfully, excites mistrust." Affairs in the French Chamber of Deputies go on rather unfavourably for M. G lIIZOT. On Fridaf the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Monthly Com mittees were elected, when only five Ministerialists were elected out of nine candidates. At the commencement of the session Ministers had seven votes and the Oppo sition only two. On Saturday the Finance Minister at tended the Budget Committee, and stated the intentions of the Government relative to the conversion of the Five per Cents., and it was understood that he was in favour of the measure, though at present it would not be carried into effect.

Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Common Law Process (England) Bill, and the Com mon Law Process (Ireland) Bill, and stated that the LORD ADVOCATE had prepared a similar Bill for Scotland. The object of the Bills was to enable pro cess to be served on subjects of Great Britain resid ing in foreign countries. 14EWSPAYPErk;GHAM approved of the principle of the thought that the affidavit of the service 40,1 . rate, be a British service. ,--,1:: 1 _,_! ;::)-L - Lsoict:c , ELL said the objection might be con ( I',. - aider4cl;44l; mmittee, and the Bills were read a O\ .- --triand : rime _--'" After conversation between the Marquis of j NI 1 4 1*istAltRY and the Duke of WELLI2iGTON ) on the 1 no opposition. On a grant of 8,000,0001. being proposed, a desultory discussion on the subject of the window duty ensued ; Mr. HussE suggested the substitution of a house duty instead, which was objected to by Sir R. PEEL. Capt. PECIIELL wished for a return of the number of ap peals, but the CHANCELLOR of the EZCIIEGWER thought no materials existed for making such a return. Mr. BERNAL complained of the evil of surcharges, and Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. HuME found fault with the present mode of collection, which was defended by Mr. W. Wizmams, on the score of economy. The discussion on the subject of the sugar duties then commenced, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER proposed that the amended scale of duties should come into operation on the 14th of March. Mr. W. WILLIAMS, Mr. lIAWES, Mr. WALLACE, and Lord SANDON urged the postponement of the alteration, in order to give the holders of sugar time to clear their stocks. Mr. THORNELY and Sir W. CLAY objected to the proposed system of classification of sugar as imprac ticable. Mr. Hoca admitted the impracticability of the attempt, but would wait and see what the Government proposed to do. Sir IL PEEL stated that the Government was still engaged in inquiring as to the practicability of clas sification, 'and that he would give due notice of his intention to bring the subject forward, so as not to take the House by surpthe. With regard to any re mission of duty, he boded the House would not draw any distinction between the wholesale and the retail dealer. Mr. LABoucHERE admitted the importance and dif ficulty of classification, and thought tlfat from the unusual time of year at which the proposal had been brought forward, the sugar trade was entitled to some postponement, so as to enable them to dispose of their stocks. Mr. M. Ginsos; supported the postponement, which was opposed by Mr. GLADSTONE. A long conversation ensued, in the course of which Mr. P. BORTIIWICR gave it as his opinion, that there was a wider difference between East and West India sugar than there was between that produced by slave labour and free labour, and as a mere matter of justice a differential duty, there fore, ought to be imposed on East India sugar ; and Mr. HUME declared himself in favour of ex tending the same differential duties to East Indian that they did to West Indian sugar, in order to in duce capitalists to embark in the cultivation of sugar in India. Ultirnate!y the CHANCELI.OR of the ERCIIEQUIgn withdrew his resolution, the House resumed, the Chairman rEported progress, arAd obtained leave to sit again on Friday. Thcf second reading of the Bastardy 13111 was post poned until Friday. The Property-tax Bill passed through Committee, and at the suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the ExctiEutiEß the discussion was r:;stponed until the bringing up the report, which was fixed for Wednes day. The House then resumed, and immediately after adjourned, at a Quarter past Eight o'clock. From the list of " Notices of Motions" for this week in the House of Commons, we learn that, on Thursday next, Lord WORSLEY wilt ask leave to bring in a "Bill to facilitate the inclosure and improvement of commons and lands held in common, the exchange of lands, and the division of intermixed lands, to pro vide remedies for defective or incomplete executions, and for the non-execution of the powers of general and local inclosure Acts, an.l to provide for the re vival of such powers in certain cases." We are ex ceedingly sorry to find that the rage for inclosing common lands and wastes is not yet appeased. In the beginning of the last session of Parliament we ex pressed our unqualified dislike of these measures of appropriation, which, under the most specious pre texts, effect the most serious disfranchisement of the hereditary or prescriptive rights of the poor. It has more than once occurred to us to be at the trouble of ascertaining the number of statutes which are in the nature of these " Private that have been passed since the commencement of the last war to the commencement of the present year, with the view of enabling our readers to form some sort of notion of the enormous extent to which the influence of the landed proprietary in various districts has succeeded in inducing successive Par liaments to authorise and sanction the most barefaced encroachments on the birthright, or the customary right of the most indigent natives of the vicinity to co mmon hinds 04 which themselves and their fathers, for many generations before them, had been reared ; where they had asursued the manly sports and ex • ercised the noble pasti.nes which had formed their physical habits, and given so healthful a complexion to their moral character. We own ourselves prone to believe that without the advantage of these natural and expansive theatres for the exercise of their limbs, the discipline of their thewes and sinews, and the habituation to those emere gencies and personal hazards which are, in boyhood, the nursery of enterprise, and the unfailing school of intrepidity and fortitude in after life ; we should scarcely have exhibited to Europe under our En- WARDS and our HARRIES the undaunted English yeo men who achieved the victories of Cressy, of Poic tiers, and of Agincourt. In the " Letters and Dis patches of the Great Duke of Marlborough," which the accomplished care of Sir GEORGE MURRAY has just ushered into the world, the congenial spirit of an admirable living soldier has found, no doubt, a gratify ing labour in bringing into public light and notice in valuable documentary evidence to redeem the memory of one of the greatest ef E.iglish or European generals and diplomatists, from that ignorant disparagement in which it hes been, of late years, a vulgar fashion to indulge. We refer to the work, on this occasion, only for the purpose of drawing from it that confirm ation which its contents supply, of the unaltered character of physical superiority which the English troops maintained at the beginning of the eighteenth century, over the finest troops of continental nations who served under the banners of the Imperialists. We know that our soldiers were, at that time, re cruited chi( fly from the Midland and Northern counties ; and it is important to remember how vast a difference then existed in the conditions under which our peasantry passed from infancy, through the various stages intervening between it and adolescence. There were wastes and moors, com mons, wealds and heaths—downs, woods, and forests, over and through which they enjoyed full liberty of way, over which they could pursue, without trespass upon, or breaking into private lands and estate, their athletic games and manly recreations. Out-door ex ercise, pure air, exciting but refreshing contest-, and the development, with their muscular strength and activity, of that self-confidence, and that constancy of purpose, which are the most enduring bases of a mas• culine nationality ; insensibly fostered, but perma nently established the endurance, constancy, and elasticity of spirit which are still the most salient characteristics of the British soldier and sailor. We are quite aware of the inevitable, and, its many re spects, the beneficial operations of increasing com merce, capital, and agricultural and manufacturing activity, to occupy these waste and common lands, and to sustain and cherish, not merely the accumu lated population which their establi-hments call around them, but to render that power of sustaining and cherishing almost commensurate with the won derful ratio of increase that in modern times the po pulation of the British Isles has signally exhibited. We may be told, too, that a large proportion of the heavy English cavalry, which did such signal ser vice thirty years ago, in deciding the fate of the san guinary battle of Waterloo, were levied in Lan cashire, and in districts closely bordering upon Man chester. But we happen to know one such district which contributed a considerable quota to those levies that has. long since been,first, enclosed; secondly, appropriated, purchased, built upon, and over built, under the same magical talisman that it is still sought to multiply—a British Inclosure Bill. Of course, the same cause has worked in a similar manner in a hundred different parts of the kingdom. Take the extreme operation of such a case in the unequalled suburb of Manchester, Oldham, which now inter poses at least a five miles continuous, incessant, unvarying, unrelieved street of te nements so multiplied, with all these swarming tenantry, that not a green field nor a fresh paddock, nor a grove, nor a thicket, ncr, we may even say, a hedge-row, interposes its delicious anomaly- to refresh the exhausted senses of the wayfaring traveller through these long and labyrinthine lines of brick and mortar, or to present to the exhausted artisan, on his one hebdomadal holiday, a type of the fresh world, the breezy hills, the fertile plains, the bright atmosphere beyond. Is it fair, reasonable, humane— is it wise, is it politic—to embitter the contrast of the stern necessities of the poor mechanic's own condition by a Parliamentary sentence of exclusion, in the shape of an Inclosure Bill, from every unoccupied grassy, open bit of country—every green lane and sequestered dingle, where he might otherwise inhale, in undis turbed enjoyment, the good thoughts and holy in fluences and humanising sympathies which men drink up with the fresh breezes and the genial sunbeams, in proportion to the lengthened periods for which they are debarred from such enjoyments. We don't like—we cannot but mistrust the very terms of Lord Wouseet's notice. In the con templation of an inclosure bill, " to facilitate the in closure and improvement of commons and lands held in common," is an uni-lateral proposition. Its one-sided purpose is to help the wealthy landowner whose property is contiguous to the common to get, at the least possible expense and trouble, the largest possible " allotment." The sole facility that the poor man experiences is to his cost; namely the facility with which his pre scriptive or customary common rights may be voted away. The sole " improvement" forced upon the humble cottager's reluctant endurance is, that he is elbowed out of the dear haunts of his childhood ; and finds himself no longer the denizen of a broken but healthful heath to which he used to wander through ancient hedge-rows, perfumed successively e% ith the odours of the primrose, the hawthorn, the cowslip, and the wild rose. bird, blue-bells, hyacinth, to the gone and heather-sprinkled waste glowing with berries of purple and blossoms of gold ; but a superfluous disagreeable " low man," caged and imprisoned among, according to the accidents of the locality, acres of mills and manufactories, or a prim, well-re gulated wilderness of pert villas and squirearchical demesnes, the lawns and the turf, the paddocks,—the very gardens,—of which have been purloined from the open waste over which the light-hearted carols of his childhood had blithely echoed. Neither is it to us any sufficing prospect of compensation for the pro cess of absorption of waste and common lands, out of the possession and enjoyment of the poor, that the hu manity of the Legislature, within the last half-dozen years, has been awakened to the expediency of pro viding the humbler inhabitants of great towns with "parks and public promenades for the purpose of healthful exercise and amusement." These are good in the absence of ether remedial measures for check ing the growing evil of inclosures ; but they are by no means an adequate substitute for the privilege of free commons, whose sacrifice they are to atone for. There is, already, too great a favouring of mawkish refinements, systematically being introduced into the habits and amusements of the " milliens ;" and with all our gratification that the " millions" are at last to have "parks and pro menades" appropriated for their use, the unavoidable disproportion of the accommodation to the numbers to be accommodated, is in itself a cardinal deficiency. But in point of all salutary influences, physical or moral, there can be no comparison between such miniature parks as are in process of " contriving," and the wide, invigorating commons, that you are taking from the universal poor of the kingdom. As this sort of spoliation has hitherth advanced, we may expect, at no great distance of time, to see all the heaths in Britain passing into the private property— straight-laced-exclusive appro;elations of Hounslow heath on the west, or Cambridge-heath on the east— the one fast effecting a junction with the London suburb of Brantford continued from Turn ham-green,--the other long since swamped in the devouring house-flood of Dalston ; and Hack ney, Lambeth, Brixton, and Streatham, are rapidly becoming " one and indivisible" on the south. On the north it is but a hilly street from Tottenham court-road to Hempstead. And apropos of Hamp stead-heath. We cannot, out of respect for the public or political character of Lord Woase,sa- pin our faith to any scheme his Lordship may bring for ward for " the inclosure and improvement of come mon lands," or for the other very questionable land owner purposes set forth in the remaining terms of his motion, with the recent pertinacious efforts of Sir Thomas MARY ox WILSON to carry the Hampstead Heath Inclosure job. The Commissioners of the Duchy of Lancaster, too, not to be behind hand in the work of cutting off the " lungs of London," wherever practicable, have miserably jobbed, we find, the little vacant green space betwqen the WTest- ~.. :~ DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, FEB. 28.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day, the proposal for revising the standing orders of the Chamber was acceded to, after a long de bate, by a majority of 40 to 10. A letter from Middleburgh, of the 26th, announces that the ship Nide!.lands Koningen (Queen of the Nether lands), from Batavia to Rotterdam, was wrecked on the Baujert, in the afternoon of the 24th. In the night o that day the captain and twenty-one of the crew landed near Domburg, and having been provided with some re freshment were sent to Domburg, where every attention was paid to them. Yesterday they were brought here in waggons, except the English pilot, who is too ill to be removed. Six of the crew lost their lives, the boat in which they were having been dashed against another vessel and broken to pieces. By the latest accounts the ship is a - ,total wreck. MIDDLEBURG, FEB. 24.—Last week there was some rioting at Zierickxce, in consequence, as it seems, of some executions for arrears of taxes. The citizens, usu ally so peaceable, assembled by hundreds, broke win dows, and committed other excesses. The magistrates issued a julicious proclamation, and order was soon re stored, after some of the ringleaders had been ar rested. A detachment of troops was sent from Flush ing, to be at hand in case of any further disorders. MONEY and COMMkaCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING, The English Securities closed very firmly to-day.

FUNERAL OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON —The mortal remains of the late Earl of Mornington were removed yesterday, from the family mansion, Grosvenor-square, for interment in Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley-strect The remains of the deceased, which have lain in state since Saturday, are enclosed in three coffins, the inner one, contain ing the body, is of lead, lined throughout with white satin ; the outer or state coffin is manufactured of the best Spanish mahogany, covered with rich Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt nails and ornaments; on either side the armorial bearinqs of the house of Wel lesley on richly chased 'Oates, gilt handles; on the inscription-plate is engraved the deceased's titles, and the dates of his birth and death. About twenty minutes before eleven o'clock, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the Earl of Mornington, Viscount Wellesley, Bic„ arrived ; and at a quarter past eleven, the mournful proces sion set out. At half-past eleven the procession arrived at the chapel, when the funeral service was read by the Rector, (the Ley.

THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst" Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature.
