Legerdemain's running is said to be problematical, but, it she goes, I shall not hold her chance too cheap ; with re spect to the rest, I inn inclined to look favourably upon Cocktail and Nutmeg in particular; and upon The Swindler, Zadoc (barring the bill), Miss Etty colt, and Ginevra is general. Now for the licensed victuallers' pet, the produce of Bee tonian industry in Milk-street and elsewhere, the METROPOLITAN HANDICAP, which hitherto, by various unfortunate concurrent causes, has been more or less a failure; this year it was hoped by the appointment of Mr. Topham as the handicap;er, that the previous cause of complaint, the wretched adjustment of weights by the secret tribunal, would be met and mastered, but such is not the case, the Epsom Handicap has been sacrificed in favour of the Chester Cup, by the similarity of the weights, which, by the bye, cannot be correct for both handicaps, for, though the course differ but little in length, their natures are as wide apart as well can be; the Roodee being perfectly flat, while the Downs are any thing but so, the course being on the rise or fall pretty nearly throughout, and ending up a stiffish ascent, thus re quiring a much gamer horse for the latter course than the former, where a fair turn of speed is the principal requisite ; consequently we have this year but the trivial increase of two acceptances on last year's, which leaves us seven below the average, as the following table will show :- 1817. Nominations 114. Acceptances 59 1848. 11 91 n 51 1849. PP 105 77 G 3 1850. 83 42 1851. ff 102 44 Turning from this somewhat dish. artening subject, I will proceed to scan the chances of those animals left in for the Metropolitan Handicap for the present memorable year. Starting with the Danebury stable, out of four entries, two have accepted, Brother to Dough at Gat 10lb (at present not likely to run) and Peep -o'-day-Boy, Bst 101 b (said to be the odd 101bs at the least better than Cossack), the latter is doing excellent work, is intended for this race in particular I understand, and must be very handy at the finish; his couple of performances last year were, running fourth with 9st up for the Chester Cup, and last for the Emperor's Plate. Messrs. Payne and Greville have accepted with four, viz., GI nice, 5 yrs, Bst Sib; The Mouse, 4 yrs, Est 81b; Estafette, 4 yrs, 6st; and Online, 4 yrs, 6St. Of these, Estafette and Glauca look the most like business; the former was out twice last year, obtaining the fourth place for the Oaks, and second to Baroness for the Palatine Stakes at Chester; at Get she must have a tolerable chance, if she can but stay the distance. The old mare had a try for the Cup at Chester last year, at ist 51b, but was nowhere; the same ill-luck, at 7st 71b, attended her iu the race for the Northumberland Plate, and likewise in that for the Leamington Stakes; but, still the same weight, she came out at Newmarket and won theCsarewitch, and afterwards a plate, carrying Bst 121 b Her chance, however, I think, is not so good as Old Dan Tucker's ( who is in the same stable), whose Picaroon blood will pull him through occasionally by dint of sheer gameness. Russborough, 4 yrs, Bst 61b, on this course, is quite out of the question. Clincher, 4 yrs, Bst 31b, ditto. Lord Eglinton has a trio left in—Elthiron, 5 yrs, Bst 21b, Camas, 3 yrs, sst, and Pandemus, 3 yrs, 4st 81b; we may overlook the first and last, as Crimus is the representative of this lucky stable; he has sprung into notice (luring the last week, is well suited to the length and severity of the course, very forward in work, and ought to nail one of the handi caps. Treen has two in the fray—the bugbear of last sum mer, Windischgratz, 4 yrs, at 7st 10Ib, and Rhesus, 5 yrs, 7st—the latter, if he runs, will monopolise the general at tention. Tom Dawson, also, has two—Snowstorm, 5 yrs, 7st 91b, and Raby, 5 yrs, 7st 71b --the latter said to be the horse; further deponent saith not. Sir Joseph Hawley cries content with three out of four, all mischievous, especially the old-un (Vatican), who, at 7st 91b, and a five year old, if he never had a good chance before, has one now ; The Ban, 3 yrs, fist 41b, and Brother to Truthteller, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b, are the other two. Percy has a trio am ong t h e acceptances—viz. Vampyre, aged 7st 71b, Kathleen 4 yrs, Est 91b, and the colt by Sir Hercules out of Empress, 3 yrs, 4st 61b ; Vampyre's running last year was respec t a bl e, although he did not win once out of six start s , w i t h one exception, he was placed in each race ; his weight is very favourable, and should Major Pitt mean mischief with him, which it is not clear he does at present, I shall most certainly row in the same heat. Kath leen at fist 91b is also a dangerous customer, and well worth a trifle at a long shot. Kent has William the Conqueror, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, colt by Gladiator, out of Khorassan's dam, 4 yrs, Est 101 b, and Hesse Romberg, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; the Conquerer will be conquered, the colt by Gladiator will run well, and Hesse Homberg is not to be despised,—more of these anon. Lord Strathmore's Sunrise, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b, can not only manage the distance, but go the pace, and were it not for Cnreus being handicapped to give but four pounds to her, I should Wee her chance as well, if not better, than any ; as it is I shall take leave to think again before giving a decided opinion. The colt by John O'Gaunt, out of Miss Etty, 3 yrs, sst 21b, I'm af ra id i s not fast enough, he can go the distance, but not the pace. Mr. Drinkald's couple, Sauter-la-Coupe, 5 yrs, 7st 51b, and Dulcet, aged, Est 101 b, are completely cut of the scramble. The colt by Dromedary dam, by Mulatto, 4 yrs, 7st 81b, is over-weighted. Mr. Carew's couple, Agis, 6 yrs, Gst 81b, and Eva, 5 yrs, Est 41b, will not have their backs broken by the weight; neither will the Squire's Mini mum, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b (who ought to be very handy), or the Count's Valentine, 4 yrs, sst 121 b. (Edipus, 5 yrs, Est 121 b, will be unable to solve the winning riddle here, whatever he may be able to accomplish elsewhere. Little George, John of Berwick, and Gillyflower, all four years old, and a ll at 6st 61b, must b e content to form a portion of the ruck. In gratitude and Don Pedro, a couple of three years old at the bottom of the scale, require no consideration. Damask, by Touchstone out of Moss Rose at Est 10Ib, and four years of age, looks formidable on paper, and he may be so in the race ; that, however depends upon his owner, who is not in a hurry to proclaim his intentions to the world, therefore I'll leave him an open subject, to be discussed hereafter. I may as well observe, before summing up and recording my ver dict, that the winner of any handicap of 200 sous. value, sub sequent to the publication of the weights, will have to carry 51bs ; or of two such races or more Nibs extra. From the top-weights I should select Peep-o'-Day Boy and Old Dan Tucker; from the middle-weights, Vatican and Vam pyre (if meant), in preference to Raby and Rhesus; from the four year old light-v,-eight division, K a thl een and Estafette ; an ..l from the three-year old light weights, enwus, Hesse Homberg, and Suurise ; running thes.t through the sieve of judgment leaves me the two V's, Estafette, Cnceas, and Hesse Horn berg, a repetition of the sitting discards Vatican and the German principality ; and I find myself able to do the Shilli beer move of 1839 with VAMPYRE, ESTAFETTE, and CN.,EUS.

Lord gONTEAGLE presented a petition from the Province of New Brunswick on the subject of railways in British North America. He believed his Noble Friend, the Secretary for the Colonies, was desirous of giving every facility far the improvement of rail way communication in British North America. It was peculiarly important to establish a rail way communication between Halifax and our other great military posts in North America, which should be free from all danger of hostile interference by foreigners. He thought that Parliament would hardly hesitate to undertake the consideration of this important question. At present communication between Canada and New Brunswick was almost interrupted during half the year, and great difficulty had been experienced in moving troops from New Brunswick to Canada during the Ca nadian rebellion. Almost all those in authority in those colonies, and more particularly the military authorities, had recommended the construction ofa mili tary road between New Brunswick and Canada. In 1847 the necessity of making a railway communication from Halifax to Quebec was brought under the atten tion of the Government Two officers of the Royal Engineers, Major Robinson and Captain Aitchen were employed to survey the ground, and on the perusal of their report the Colonial Secretary expressed his opinion as to the importance of establishing such a communication. A great road of communication through 700 miles of uncultivated country could not be undertaken by private enterprise. If it could be profitably undertaken the aid of the State would not be asked; but it was because it was a great State question, and not a question of commercial speculation, that he asked for the assist ance of the State. The Rideau Canal had been un dertaken as a matter of State necessity, not of commercial profit, and upwards of 1,000,000/. of public money had been expended upon it. In the pro vince of New Brunswick there were several millions of ungranted and uncultivated acres, and which had no chance of being granted or cultivated, unless this rail road should be constructed. It was most important that the resources of New Brunswick should be developed in order to attract emigrants there ; whereas, under the present system, not only were emi grants attracted to the United States in pre`erence to New Brunswick, but upwards of 5,000 persons had left New Brunswick to setae in the United States. In Ca nada West, on the; centrary, where State as sistance bad been given to public works, set tlements, houses, and inhabitants had increased, and the value of assessed property had increased from 5,000,000/. in 1839, to 8,000,000 g. in 1847. They were extending assistance to Canada, where the inhabitants had re belled against the royal authority, and re fusing it to those colonies which, like New Brunswick, had remained loyal. The emigrants from this country, when they had a free choice, preferred the United States to our own colonies, and that because they found they bed not those advan tages extended to them in our colonies which they found in the United States. In the last year 41,000 emigrants only went to the British colonies, while 219,000 went to the United. States. Now, it should be remembered that those who went to our colonies became better traders with ourselves than those who placed themselves under the rule of a government that was jealous of the extension of our trade. The colonies were ready to do everything to promote this rail way that they could do consistently with their financial condition. The United States were aware of the importance of rapid communication, and were doing all they could to make Canada depen dent on the United States. The United States proposed to construct railroads to place Canada in communication with the seaboard of the United States, and they were preparing to do the same with regard to Halifax and the colony of New Brunswick. The proposed line would go from Halifax to Quebec. The whole lay through British ter ritory, and it would not be expedient to leave the com municatiot between those important colonies, Canada and New Brunswick, solely in the hands of a United States proprietary. There was a gentleman in this country of the name of Howe, a member of the Legis lature of the colony, who had furnished much useful and important information on the subject, and who was equally distinguished by his intelligence, his desire to benefit the colony, and his loyalty. Ha hoped that all papers relating to the subject would be laid on the table. Lord STANLEY was not disposed to und. rrate the importance of our North American colonies, and much importance as he attached to the value of Canada. he was not sure that New Brunswick was not more important to this country than even Canada itself. It was of the utmost importance that steam should be kept up between all those colonies in unin terrupted c• - mrnunieation. He held. therefore, that the construction of a line of railroad from Halifax to Quebec —a distance of 700 miles, through a territory exclusively British, connecting the population of two important colonies —to be an object of primary importance in a political as well as in a physical point of view. •It could not be unimportant that the thousands upon thousands who might emigrate from this country should find,at a distance not exceeding a twelve days' passage by sea, an unbounded tract of public land and a healthy climate. It could not be unimportant, whether viewed as a relief of pauperism here, or an increasing of our power there, that we should have the possession of ten or twelve millions acres of fertile land, containing great mineral wealth. It was no ordinary case, and was not to be consi dered with reference to whether the proposed line of railroad paid or not. Even if it should not pay a shilling per cent. for the next ten years, still the interposition of this country for aiding those who were anxious to undertake a great work of that kind was a subject well worthy the attention of the Imperial Parliament, and was not to be looked on as a question of mere pounds, shillings, and pence. Great sums had been advanced by this country for public works in Ca nada, on the security of the provincial revenue, and not a halfpenny had been lost. He agreed with the Noble Lord that public works in a new country were undertaken upon a different principle from that upon which they proceeded in an old country. In the unsettled territories of the United States roads were formed and post-offices established to in duce persons to settle and cultivate the soil. If it were de sired that our colonies should equal the United States in progress, the same principle must be adopted, and great works of public benefit must be undertaken as an inducement for emigrants to settle there. A line of railroad from Halifax to Quebec would pass through three seperate provinces, in some respects differing from each other, yet all were anxious for the establishment of the line. They were willing to give a guarantee on the public fund, and a grant of land to the extent of ten miles on either side of the railway, comprising about 5,00 - ,000 acres; and all they asked was the counte nance of the home Government. The Legislature of Nova Scotia were adverse to their portion of the line being com pleted by foreign capitalists, and were determined to retain the control of any line passing through their own territory; and it was of vast importance that it should be under the• control of a British province of unimpeachable loyalty, and possessing in the port of Halifax the very key of her North American possessions. It was stated by them that the cost of their portion of the line would be 800,0091, that their revenue was 80,0001 a year, and their surplus 40,000/. a year. It would, therefore, take ten years of their whole revenue to complete the line. On their own debentures the money might be raised at 5 per cent..; but at 3i per cent., with the sanction of the Home and Colonial Governments. Besides the security of their surplus they were willing to give any amount o f was te land in the colony which the Noble Earl might require. With regard to New Brunswick, the line would not be so difficult of execu tion. The line would pass through a rich country, well timbered, and containing great mineral wealth. Besides their revenue, the province would pledge 11,000100 acres of unoccupied land for the repayment of the advances. If the line were opened the whole of that country would be opened to British settlement; but the refusal to assist the province to complete the railroad would close the province to settlers. - There were various ways v in which the Noble Earl the Foreign Secretary might aid the undertaking. He believed, if the Government were to give their guarantee conjointly with that of the provinces, tfiat capitalists would be found in this country perfectly ready to execute the line. .He did not recommend any particular one of the courses suggested by the colonists for raising the necessary loans, bat he thought it was right that the colonists should know what the Government of this country intended to do in the matter. At present Nova Scotia bad passed an Act for car rying out their portion of the line. New Brunswick had passed a resolution guaranteeing the waste lands and a cer tain yearly sum. lle did not blame the Noble Earl the Co lonial Secretary for being a little cautious in the matter; but there were cases in which a prompt and decisive course of action was ultimately the best policy, and he b e li eve d , if the Noble Earl would only say that Government. would grant assistance, that these great works would speedily be com pleted. He was afraid, that unless Government or the Par liament of this country interfered, these works would be in definitely postponed, the communication between two great proyincei W 91114 139 t be opegvi, the gnaw emisrmi9n from this country would not be to our own colonies. but to the United States, and the communication between Quebec and Halifax and Quebec and this country would be ulti mately through the United States, liable to be cut off in time of war, and in time of peace giving all the advantages' of the traffic not to our colonies, but to the United States. The course of Government was open, either for great evil or great good. It would be a great evil to exhibit apathy; and he, therefore, hoped Government would act in that prompt manner which, in such matters, best promoted the honour and interest of the country. Earl GREY would not say more than a few words on the present occasion. 'He would, however, express hie full sense of the importance of the subject, and state that it had for some time engaged his most serious attention. He would rot now state the various difficulties the• stood in the way of a decision. The subject was under the consideration of her Majesty's Government, and a gentleman of great stand ing in Nova Scotia had been deputed to collect .information and to communicate with the Government on the subject. He hoped, long before the present. session concluded, 'he should be able to come to a definite decision on the qu es ti on . With reference to the slow progress of New Brunswick, he believed it was to be attributed to the few public works that had been commenced. With respect to Canada, the advances which it had made in wealth and civilization—an advance which was far beyond any other colony—was owing to the number of public works that hid been completed. The effect of these public works had particularly been felt since the repeal of our navigation-laws. Few persons had been able to anticipate the great development of c ,mmerce that these ch . anges had given rise to. The new canals had con tributed most largely to that result. Lord STANLEY, in reference to the Noble Earl's state ment of the great augmentation of commerce since the change in the navigation-laws, referred to the great influx of foreign vessels into the North American ports since that change had taken place. Would the Noble Earl place on the table a re turn of the number of foreign vessels which entered the port of Quebec, for two years before and two years after the re peal of those laws? Earl GREY had no objection to such a return ; but he protested against the number of foreign vessels which had entered the port of Quebec since the repeal of the navigation laws being taken as any test of the operation of that change. The time was, also, too short to afford any accurate estimate of the result of the repeal; and it must also be recollected that several circumstances, such as the large extra importa tion of food, had occurred to prevent any correct inference from being drawn as yet as to the actual effect of the altera tion in the navigation-laws. Earl NELSON presented a petition from Chepstow on the subject of Papal aggression (as we understood.), Their Lordships then adjourned. SPORTING NOTES. No. MEMORANDA FROM MY M X.

Stn,--The result of the St. Albans Steeplechase proves, with one horrible exception (the Mulligan caper), the accu racy of my information, and the thorough sifting the merits of the animals engaged in that race underwent at my hands; for, excluding Ben Lornond's position, gained more by good jockeyship on the part of Frisby than ought else, the quin tette of horses to whom in my last note I awarded the five foremost places, passed the judge's chair first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, and I have but little doubt that the two I placed first and second (Mulligan and Trust-me-Not) would have run home in those positions had not the Mulligan party (who messed their own interests with him a short time since at Southern, now made a nrulbagain of it, with this diffe rence, however, that the good easy public were the sufferers this time instead of themselves) discovered at the eleventh hour that their horse was too good to be allowed to come within the 2001. selling clause in the conditions, preferring to reserve him for the Don:aster Steeplechase, or some " go od thing" they have in view,, or, for s ome o th er cogen t reason, which, as N atur% - has made man's heart no windores, To .publish what he does within doors, nor what dark secrets there inhabit, Unless his own rash folly blab it," I ha`:o not been able to discover; but this much Ido know, tkat on the arrival at St. Albans on Wednesday morning of a good sprinkling of the speculative division, the flying ru mours of the night before in town received immediate confirm ation by the fact becoming known that Archer had been shifted from Mulligan to Buscot, and that Mr. H. Elmore would ride the quondam crack, for crack he was no longer; as little as 5 to 2 had been booked about him in town on Monday evening and Tuesday morning, but his first price at ancient Verulam was sto 1, minus takers. From this price he rapidly receded to a figure much nearer fifty ; in fact, any price was obtainable -it was the Peter Simple game at Lincoln over again. The disappearance of Mulligan elevated my second best fancy, Trust-me-Not, to the premiership in the odds, who, tooled by Mason, won cleverly from Ben Lomond, despite the artistical handling of the latter by Frisby. The next batch consisted of Valiant, St. Leger, Legislator, and Mulligan. Since the publication of my last note an important change has come o'er the spirit of the BETTING MARKET, more particularly on the Chester Cup, for which stake Ha ricot cannot be quoted at more than 18 to 1, while Rhesus, who has hitherto held, at least since the appearance of the weights, the foremost , position in the odds, h as f a ll en from his high estate, e., from 12 to 18 to 1, partly caused by doubts as to whether he is going for the Metropolitan, which, as a matter of course, would seriously affect his Chester chance; The Italian, in the early part of the week, also tumbled from his position at 18 to 30 to 1, but has since returned to 25, at which price he rules unsteady. Brother to Dough, the dangerous representative of Danebury, has advanced two or three points, and stands at 30 to 1; this horse, if bottled up for Chester, and well on the day, will be one of the first four. I estimate Brother to Dough's chance to be about as good as Lady Evelyn's (who is firm in the market at 25 to 1), who will be about first on the lioodee, not only in the race, but also in the ring. Lord Eglinton's Cnreus has rushed to the front in the betting on the Metropolitan, being quoted , firm at 12 to 1, fifteens taken .freely yesterday at " the Corner." The Northampton Handi cap still commands but little attention ; Cocktail finds backers at 8 to 1, and two of Treen's—Zadoc and the Swindler, were yesterday supported at 15 and 20 to 1; beyond this nothing much is doing; Nutmeg is occasionally inquired after, and booked at 15 to 1, well worth taking, I should say. The principal events of the Liverpool Spring Meeting are beginning to attract general attention ; for the Spring Cup Doubt and Panope are equal favourites at 5 to 1 each, Unity (not bad at 4st 101 b) may be quoted 6 to 1 (the outside figure), Idle Boy 8 to 1, and Caurire 10 to 1; and for the Steeplechase Vainhope still maintains the lead at a slight ad vance yesterday upon previous prices, having been done at 7 to 1 ; Sir John re-appeared at 10 to 1; Peter Simple was sup ported at twelves, and Rescue and the Tip perary Boy at week. A few scraps of information have come to ha n d concern e v twenties events in ing the each; hleshall NORTHAMPTON HANDICAP. which lead me to infer that the starting of Vatican; Rh esus, Clermont, Langton, Blouse, Joe Sutherland, Cottager The Cutler, and H ar psi c h or d i s 'rely doubtful; and that it is not At all izapz9bablo but what Can Alld k9llxor. t 9 ROUSE OF COMMONS, Feh 14.

Mr. HUME gave notice, that on Monday week he should move for copies of the documents under the au thority of which the Queen's printer, and the Universi ties of Oxford and Cambridge, enjoyed a monopoly of printing the Bible. THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. Mr. GRATTAN wished to give notice that on the first reading of the Bill for the repression of the Roman Catholic heirerchy in the United Kingdom he intended to move that the words " United Kingdom" should be ft out. The SPEAKER said that it was not competent for the Hon. Memb, , r to make such a motion at the time he had specified. No motion of that kind could be made on the first reading of a Bill. Mr. GRATTAN would then make his motion at the proper time. The SPEAKER—The proper time would be on read ing the title of the Bill. DUBLIN SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice that he should at an early period move that the depositors who had been in jure i by the failure of certain savings banks in Dublin should be recompensed out of the public funds. CEYLON. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said, that seeing his Hon. Friend the Under-Secretary for the Colonies in his place, he wished to ask him why the letter of Mr. Glenny to Sir Emerson Tennent has not been printed with the correspondence respecting Ceylon, lately de livered to Members, and whether he had &By objection now to lay it or its contents on the table of the House? Mr. HAWES said that the letter to which his Hon. Friend bad referred wasone of an entirely private nature. It was written by the Archdeacon of Colombo to Sir Emerson Tennent, and it was required by the writer that it should not be produced unless the whole of its spirit was oxpressrd. Sir E. Tennent did read so much of the letter as was necessary to explain the matter to which it referred, end to express its spirit. But the letter itself was not in the possession of the Colonial office, and therefore could not be produced. OVERCROWDING WORKHOUSES IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whether it was true, as reported in the local jour nals. that the number of inmates in the Limerick union workhouse exceeded the limit allowed by the sealed order of the Poor-law Commissioners by more than 700, and, if so, whether the Commissioners had taken any steps thereupon? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said it was quite true that the pressure for accommodation in Limerick work house had been very great for some time past, and, according as that pressure exhibited itself, the Com missioners had not failed to call the attention of the board of guardians to it in order to induce them, as far as laid in their power, to adopt some remedy. On the 23d of Nov., the excess of inmates was 106, and on the 28th of Dec. it had risen to 610, but in consequence of the additional accommodation provided by the board of guardians, it had, on the 4th of Jan., been reduced to 124. It was quite true that at one period, the Ist of February, the excess of inmates exceeded the accom modatitn by 775. Then, again, in consequence of fresh accommodation being provided, it appeared from the last report which bad reached him that the excess of inmates had been reduced to 507; but the Honourable Gentleman should remember that, though the excess was very large, y e t the workhouse accommodation of the Limerick union was also enormous. When the excess was 507 the number of inmates actually accommodated within the workhouse amounted to no less than 7,000. The Hon. Member was under a mistake when he supposed that the sanitary state of the workhouse was unsatisfac tory; on the contrary, he believed it was very satis factory, and that the medical officer was quite satisfied with the accommodation and arrangements. Mr. Lynch had been directed by the commissioners to devote his attention entirely to the Limerick workhouse, and he (Sir W. Somerville) had no doubt that very soon there would be. an excess of accommodation as com pared with the number of people within the workhouse, VALUATION OF PROPERTY IN IRELAND. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if it was the intention of Government to introduce any measure this session to correct the mode of taking the general valuatien of Ireland (now in progress)?. Sir W. SOMERVILLE replied that it was his inten tion on Monday next to ask leave of the House to in troduce a Bill to amend the laws relating to the valua tion of property in Ireland. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr. B. OSBORNE moved for a return of the names of all persons holding any offices in the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland, with the amount of salary paid to each, and stating whether or not previously em ployed in the public service, and in what capacity, " HOUSEHOLD NARRATIVE." Mr. MOWATT wished to rut a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It would be in his recol lection that some days ago a question was pat to him to the elf, et whether he could state, with reference to the legal proceedings against Bradbury and Evans, the pub lisher; of a journal conducted by Mr. Charles Dickens, and entitled Household Narrative, the grounds on which those legal prooeudings had been directed? He now wished to know what particular point he alluded to on that occasion when ho stated that the argument was to be heard before the Barons of the Exchequer? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recol lected that the other day a question had been put to him by an Hon. Member whether that case was going or, when ho replied that it was. He was again asked whe ther he woulJi agree to suspend the operation of the stamp-laws will regard to similar publications till this case was decided. To that he replied that he could not agree to do so; and he had just the same answers to re turn on the present occasion. Mr. M. GIBSON thought the Ri ght Hon. Gentleman had misunderstood the question w hich him. The question was, w h et h er h e would inform the ----.........----#____ t 0 be Huse wt: at wee the nature of the point e1e2. 11 .. t a argu..d before the Barons of the Eichequer.---(Nehlioruglia The CHANCELLOR of the IXt.3,HEQUIIt these it was very inexpedient to introduce subjvcts i l i h k ,: to go into n ° c e t u i ll u te e r i t t l e l s ° t u i o s e e' s — t h ( it Bear,. only ar be IC properly s iinl c°16:9:11- - " h ill of law.—(Hear, hens.)
