n ourti) 7 l..:Li Aitt3 SUN OFFICE, Semi o' Clock, ALECTION COMMITTEE.—(THIS DAY.) ST. ALBAN'S. At the sitting of the Committee this morning, the CHATRAMY inquired if the missing witness Waysett was yet forthcoming? Cp&Agasis said he was not; at a later period of the day he would be able to state what proceedings had been taken to discover him, but the officer of the House who had been in search of him was not now attendance. The room was then cleared; on parties being again admitted the Chairman ordered the evidence to be pro ceeded with. Mr. H. Edwards was called in, and ordered to be in attendance until discharged. William Lynes, the witness who was committed on Saturday for prevarication, was brought in the custody of the officer of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and placed in the wiiness's chair for further examination. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE objected to the examination of this witness being proceeded with, as ha was under duress. The Learned Sergeant was heard at some length is support of this objection, and the room was again oleared for deliberation. On parties being re-admitted, The CHAIRMAN ordered the Learned Counsel to pro s/Ad with the examination of this witness. William Lynes was axain examined, but no very materiel fact was eiicited except that, after the elec tion, the witness remained concealed for some days, with several others, at Mr. Edwards' house ; aad, accord ing tp his own account, without knowing or iuquiring the reason why, for remonstrating against such a course of proceeding. The witness gave his evidence in the same hesitating manner which had drawn on him the censure of the Committee on S a t u rday. ' Thomas Atkins, a labouring man of St. Albans, was the next witness examined—He said he Toted on the last election for Mr. Bell, but on all former elections for thirty years he had voted for the blue party. He ceald not tell why he had changed sides this time. He had had an interview previous to the election with Mr. Ed wards, who left wo r d tor him at his (witness's) house to sail at the committee-roonv. No money passed between them;thca or at any other -time, but witness promised to vote for Mr. Bell. on Edwards asking him to do so. ' After , the election witness remained for some time shut up at Mr. Edwards' house with several others, he sent there itt Edwards request, and for no other reason that he knew of. - Mrs. Sarah Atkins, the wife of the former witness, was'neet called. This witness seemed to know nothing, aged in spite of repeated cautions from the Chairman, the united Efforts of counsel and the Committee; could produce from her nothing beyond " I don't know," " I c an's remembur," " I bad nothing to do with the elec tion, and I know nothing at all aeout it." The examicailon of this witness was proceeding when our report. loft. We unaerstand that a writ of habeas corpus, directed to the Sergeant-at-Arms to produce William Lynes, the witness who was committed to his custody on Saturday by the Committee, has been obtained from Mr. Justice Wighttnan, the return to which will be made this after noon at the Judge's chambers. GERMANY. Ultromontane bigotry, particularly among the higher dosses, is rampant. There has lately been a flagrant example of intolerance near Inspruck. A young country girl was recently delivered of twins; as the flther, who was in a military band, was a negro, his offspring was naturally of a somewhat dingy colour. The ignorant village priest, having refused to baptise " the children of Satan," the mother, who was ex posed to the taunts and insults of her bigoted coun trymen, pat an end to her misery and shame by jatnping into Sae river Sill.—A medical commission, after having examined three insane persons residing near Brun, in Moravia, have given it as their opinion " that the three individuals have lost their senses in con,,,quence of the catechetical discipline to which they were subjected by the Liguorians during con fessir.m."

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool . sack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Thursday Lord Stanley would present a petition from Guiana on the subject of colonial government. Lord WODEHOUSE presented several petitions agaiest Papal eggression. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the ward of Farringdoa praying for a reform of thel corpora tion o 2 London. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented apetition from some parish in Worcestershire praying for an alte ration in the law of rating. Thos Eerl of CARLISLE presented a petition praying for the adoption of measures for the suppression of the slays-trade. The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions from places in Ireland against Papal aggression; also several petitions praying for a grant of money to the schools in connexion with the National Church, in which the Bciiptteres were taught. The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented several peti tions from varicella places in Ireland, praying that the Scripture schools in that country might have a share of the grant for the promotion of national education. MASTERS AND SERVANTS BILL. The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to protect children pteend out in sevice by the parochial authorities from p rae lesas which had been inflicted upon the unfortunate victim of the Sloanes. The Noble Earl ex plained the enactments of the Bill, which established a syctena of periodical inspection on the part of the b oa rais of guardians , and the details of which have been frequently given. Lord REDESDALE was opposed to the measure, as one erhich would render it impossible for paupers to be placed out. What need had a great boy of eighteen of stick protection? Besides, no farmer would take a pauper if he was exposed to have the guardians coming and wilting all sorts of questions of their servants. The Earl of CARLISLE alluded to the Sloanea' case as a proof of the necessity of some such measure as the present. The Bill was then read a second time. PAPAL AGGRESSION. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Ayr against Papal aggression. The petition prayed that a measure might b e passed prohibiting the Roman Catho lic prelates from assuming territorial titles, enacting that all bequests made to th em leader those titles should be made cull and voidtet.hfuelk acts that they might per form, and such Utica:44l4lm void; and that a measure should be introdaeed„ ttlpievent all synodical action on their part.

He should also suggest alterations in the latter clauses and in the clauses relating to the em ployment of attorneys' clerks in these courts. Lord BEAUMONT end Lord BROUGHAM severally ex plained, and the subject dropped. adjourned. their Lordships then HOUSE OE COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. The Sheriffs of London appeared at th© bur of the House, and presented a petition spinet the removal of Stnithritild-market. ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION. Tho Sergeant-at-Arms appeared at th e b ar and n tomed the !rouse that bl 6 e had had com m i t t e d to h - j cus tody the body of William Lynes, a witness charged prevarication before the S elect Committee of the House of Commons sitting to inquire into e. petition presented against the St. Alban's election, and that since that time be bad received a writ o; habeas corpus from Mr. Justice Wightman, calling upon him to produce the body o f t h e said William Lynes hefrre tarsi at his chambers. THIRD BEADING. The Bagor and Carinrvon Railway, and the Shrews. bury and Bridgnorth Turnpike-read' Bill were read a third time, Mr. E. ELLIOE presented a report from the the Ccm- inittee sitting on the St. Alban's election, informing House that on Saturday last they had committed the body of Wild= Lyre?, to the custody of the Ser geant-at Arms, charged with gross prevarication, grid that the acid witness had ,been produced before the Ccsamitee this day, and had then a nswered satisfactorily the questions put to him by the Core:mttee. 4.150 that it appeared in evidence before the Committee that an essential wituei3 of the name of George Seeley Waysett had hitherto evaded all attempts to secure his attendancebefore the Committee, and cne John Hayward in conjunction with Henry Edwards, bad given money to Waysett, to induce him to abstain from appearing before the Committee. In respect of the said William Lynes, as he had answered all questions put to him that day, he should move that he be discharged from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and with regard to the other three who had been proved, one to have knowingly abstained from presenting himself, and the other two to have been concerned in inducing him to re main away, he would move that the warrant of the Speaker be issued directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to take them into custody. The motion for the discharge of William Lynes from custody was then agreed to. Sir G. GREY said the question was whether any power of the House would be lost by delay, otherwise he should propose that the report be printed,. and the discussion of the question be adjourned until to to- morrow. Mr. E. ELLICE said that a warrant from the Speaker would certainly have more effect than any other pro ceeding in procuring the attendance of the missing wit- nessos. After a few words from Sir B. HALL and Mr. ADAIR, Mr. SOTHERON moved that the conduct of the three p rsons named be declared a breach of the privi leges a that House. Sir G. CLERK said that was certainly the complexion which the conduct of the parties took, and at the Ipswich Election Committee, when the parties had behaved in a similar manner, the House had not hesitated a single moment in declaring it a breach of privilege. Lord J. RUSSELL said there could be no doubt that the conduct of the parties described did constitute a breach of privilege. Sir G. CLERK thought!tbat Waysftt ought first to be taken into custody, inasmuch as he had concealed himself, and by -o doing had rendered himself unable to give that servme to the Committee in the way of evi dence, which the House required. SCR. H. INGLIS conceived that in violating the rules of the House the parties implicated had violated the law of the land. The motion was then put, and it was unanimously agreed that Hayward, Edwards, and Waysett should be taken into custody by the S. , rgeant-at Arms. Lord J. RUSSELL supposed that when these parties were taken into custody, they would of course be ordered to attend a, the bar of the House. The SPEAKER replied in the affirmative. Sir G. GREY said that an order should be made to release William Lynes from the custody of the Sergeant at-Arms. His case was very different from that of the others. They had violated the rules of the House, and had consequently been guilty of a breach of privilege; but in Line's case the Committee had specially reported that in the return for the borough of St. Alban's, Lyne had violated an Act of Parliament, and therefore the re port stated that the warrant should have been annexed to the return. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved that the order should be oischargtd. An order was accordingly made to that effect. PETITIONS. Mr. DIVETT preieutedaWtition from Exeter in favour of a modification of the tax on carriages. Mr. HEALD presented 15 petitions from congrega tions of Wesleyan Methodists in England and Scotland, praying for an efficient legislative enactment against Papal aggression. Mr. WELBY presented two petitions from Grantham and the hamlets, and from a Wesleyan congregation of the same place, for more stringent provisions in the Ec clesiastical Titles Bill, and one petition from merchants and traders of Grantham for a repeat of the duty on paper. Mr. ROBARTES presented petitions from the Wes leyan Methodists of Purt Isaac, Gorram, and St. Ewe, Sawney, St. Blayey-gate, Sticken, and Polygeoth anti Wadebridge, ugaiust Papal aggression. Mr. E. Macnaghten, Lord Duncan, Mr. Wilcox, and other members presented petitions against the Peke), aggression. PAYMENTS FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS OUT OF PAROCHIAL POOR-RATES. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from tho rate payers of St. Luke's, Middlesex, stating that last week the sum of 171.: 16s. had been paid. out of the poor rates for the satisfaction of the expenses of a meeting to repress the Papal aggression. Similar expenses had also been paid tut of the rates on account of a meeting respecting the Post office. The ratepayers prayed the House to institute an inquiry, and pass an Act to enable the ratepayers to appeal to the County Court for the re storation of all sums under 501. that might be improperly paid out of the mos. Mr. MAS FERMAN presented a petition from the Lout Mayor and Corporation of Dublin against the abolidon of the military asylum at Kimainhans. Mr. HEADLASI pr,-tsented a petition against the continuance of the income-tax. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice that in going into Com mittee on the Ecclesisstical Titles Assumption Bill he should call the attention of the House to the drestdtul mortality that had occurred in thu lidrush Union work house. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that cn Wednesday he should move for copies of all correspondence that had taken place between the Government and all foreign powers on the affairs of Rome during 1849. Lord DUNCAN gave notice that he should postpone his motion on the window-ttax sine die. WOODS AND FORESTS. 'Viscount DUNCAN asked the First Commissioner of Woods, Forests, &c., whether it was the intention of the Government, during the course of the present session, to bring in a Bill to make better provision for the manage ment of the Wooth, Forest!, and Land Revenues of the Crown, and for the direction of Public Works and Build ings ; and if so, at what period of the session it was likely that the Bill will be produced? Lord J. RUSSELL was underFtood to say that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill on the subject as early after Easter as po3%ible. MANAGEMENT OF CHURCH LANDS. Mr. E. DENISON wished to know whether a Bill had been prepared with regard to the management of church lands, and when it would bo laid OR the table of the House? . . Sir GEORGE GREY said a Bill had been prepared by the Commission which had been appointed, but it bad subsequently undergone considerable alteration. How ever, it was now in a state to be presented to the House, and he believed it would be presented before Easter. No bettin THE SUN, LONDON, (LEFT SPEAKING.) remind the House that the fact was, that the property and income tax was first imposed for a period of three years, and that it was imposed in 1842 only to satisfy the temporary exigencies of the country.—(Hear, hear.) He took the right of supposing that the income tax as now proposed was the income tax which was originally instituted, for if it had not been so, he was quite sure that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in making his statement to the House would have said so. Had he not said so, he (Mr. Herries) would have been obliged to suspect the Right Hon. Baronet of a practice to which he little thought him liable.—(Hear, hear.) He expected, therefore, that it was the income-tax which he intended to propose, and that it was intended to propose it for three years.—(" Hear, hear," from Sir Charles Wood.) He was glad to accept that admission, and he should reason upon it as a conclusion in his argument. — (Hear, hear.) He must now review the history of the Income-tax. It should be recollected that it was imposed in 1842 by Sir Robert Peel, in order to relieve the country from -its difficulties with regard to fiesincial matters.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that he should be excused from referring to the fact that this deficiency of 3,800,0001. was constituted by the W big-, and that the income-tax was imposed to meet this deficiency, to remove the obstruction ef trade, and to facilitate the eetion cern meree. Now Sir R. Peel distinctly declared, and there could be no doubt about the fact, that he took this tax ha a temporary measure, and fur a special purpose. He, took it, as stated in the words of the amendment, for a temporary purpose, and to meet a special emer gency. He teen stated distinctly that he be lieved a period of five years would be sufficient for the acs mlisbment of the purpose, but that he would only take the tax for three years, in the hope that there would be no necessity for its renewal. It so happened, however, that in 1845 Sir Robert Peel came to ask for its renewal, which was granted under the then especial circumstances of the country. In 1848 there was another extension of the tax, but at that time the country was suffering from extreme com mercial distress, end therefore its renewal then was no breach of the principle to which he was about to call the attention of the House. The Noble Lord, however, with some degree of lenity, asked the House not only to renew the tax but to augment it, but the House refused to sanction the latter part of the Noble Lord's proposition, and eventually it was not persevered in. That brought them down to the pre sent period; but before he proceedel now to ask the House to refuse the continuance of the tax altogether, he wished to direct the a:Wilton of the House to the opinions of men of the highest eminence, who had filled the most responsible offices of the state, as to the peculiar character of this tax.—(Hear, hear.) He did not propose to use the extracts which he should take the liberty of reading es ad argumentum ad hominen, he used them because they contatned in themselves expression of sound truth and judgment, which ho ventured to hope the House would be disposed to adhere to on the present occasion. It would be un necessary for him to read to them the opinions of Sir Robert Peel, because the term in es hich Sir Robert Peel introduced the tax in 1842 must be fresh in the recollection of everybody. For the reasons he had already stated, Sir Robert Peel induced the House in the first instance to adopt his proposition; and on the second occasion, when he pressed the conti nuance of the income-tax, he expressly declared that he did hope that within the time the tax was to be extended to, provision would be made by alte rations and augmentation of the revenue to render any further renewal of the income-tax unnecessary. When Sir R. Peel proposed the renewal of the income tax he did not receive unqualified support. Those who now sat in opposition expressed themselves very strongly against the tax, but not so much with re ference to its being then imposed as to its cha racter. They agreed as to its renewal, but were opposed to the form in which it is levied. It was opposed by Lord John Russell, Mr. Labouchere, Lord Howie:, and though last, not least, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer.—(Hear, hear.) The words, then, used by the present Prime Minister deserved the serious attention of the House on the present solemn occasion, when they were about to determine whether they should or should not have a permanent income-tax. The Noble Lord, in 1842, said the evil of the income tax was not confined to the :dim drawn from the pockets of the people, that be considered it an inquisitorial tax, and that it ought only to be resorted as a last resource in periods of difficulty.—(Hear, hear.) Again, in 1845, he said it was a tax subject to some of the greatest objections which could be urged against any tax, that he was of opinion that inequality of tax ation and fraud were inherent qualities of the tax. —(Hear, hear.) Taco, again, when the Noble L ,rd asked for a continuance of the tax ie 1848. he did so on the ground that alueat wipe] alisded distress existed at the time in the country. The Noble Lord did not on that occase n offer any other reason why they should again resort to the tax for a further petiod.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. Labouebere, row the President of the Board of Trade, also said, in 1848, " God forbid, that under the present difficulties of the country, they should require the House to adopt such u measure as the imposition of a house-tax, adding that he would resort to any other means rather than adopt such a system of taxation, which was alien to the habits of the people of this country, and which was carried into effect in au inquisitorial manner, and attended with vexatious proceedings infinitely more annoying than the amount of money taken from the people's pockets."—(l.lear, bear.) Now, as the country was not now under the pressure of those difficulties which existed at that time, triton arguments applied with ten-fold force against the re-imposition of the tax this year. Lord Huwick said that on the prin ciple of justice and sound policy he was of opinion that the House ought to restrict the imposition of a tax so excedingly odious as that proposed by Sir R. Peel " They were told," said that Noble Lord, d that taxation ought to be equal, but was anything more monstrously unequal than a property-tax."—(Heare hear.) The First Lord of the Admiralty, who bad always been a consistent and aiduous opponent of the tax, had said, in 1845 and 1848, that he yielded only lo necessity, and to the prospect of a failing revenue in giving any degree of support to the tax; he hoped, therefore, he might aulienge that Right Hon. Gentle man's vote on this occasion in favour of his amendment. He put it to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government the question how, without necessity, when there was no emergency imperatively to demand, he could now pro pose the re-imposition of this tax, in which vexation, in justice, and fraud were, according to the account of his own party, inherent acd inseparable. He called upon the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, who had stigmatised this tax when in opposition, whether they had changed their opinions now? He himself was but too im pressed with the fact that the tax was vexatious and injurious. He knew that the farmer who was losing money every day. The merchant, whose affairs were sub ject to the inquisition of the tax, and the professional man, whose bard-earaed profits were unfairly and unequally pressed upon, were fully convinced that this tax was vexatious and unjust. The just claim for reduction, he contended, was the income-tax. He could not see where was the great benefit of the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—be did not pro pose to make anything cheaper, or to give any great relief to any great class of the country. It was evident that anyone who adopted the opinions generally expressed, that It was the intention of the Government that this tax should continue. He, therefore, invited the House seriously to con sider this proposition on the very first occasion, which had ever been available.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite aware of the difficulty of adjusting that tax.— (Hear, hear.) As a temporary tax he believed that nobody whatever would hesitate to accede to it, and he believed that not any of the friends of Sir Robert Peel would have attempted for a moment to say that it was not Sir Robert's intention in any way to make it a permanent tax.—(Hear, hear.) He spoke as one who had a right to speak upon this subject, for although not iu office, he had been on terms the most confidential with that great statesman during the concoction of the in come-tax—(Hear, hear)—and he could of bis own know ledge say that it was only intended as a temporary im position to meet a temporary exigency.—(Ceeere.) And yet that was now the course pursued by the Noble Lord. He intended to make this tax a permanent one. The Noble Lord intended to in troduce this measure to-night, but he would tell him that it he did it would be torn to tatters before it passed through the House.—(Hear, hear.) He would now ask Hon. Gentlemen who were Members from Ireland, how it would affect their country? Sir Robert Peel in introducing this measure, had given good reasons why the Act for imposing the income tax should not extend to Ireland. That great man had always been consistent, and he (Hr. berries) knew that the reasons on which he acted were always valid; and he himself would say that if it was now proposed to extend this Act to Ireland with all its ineqealities, with all its wrongs, with all its injustice, he must certainly vote against the motion.—(Hear, hear.) Had the great man who originally imposed that tax been now below amongst them he (Mr. berries) would never h ave made that motion, for he was quite sure to moot the question and to move for an abolition of the tax.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared from the state ment that there was now a surplus from the income-tax of about 1,550,0001. The Right Hon. Gentleman shook his head. Well, then, be would make a composition with the Right Hon. Gentleman, and take the surplus a' 2,000,0001. TATTERSALL'S—rfMS EVENING Sts O'CLOCK.

GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.—On Friday afternoon a general court of the governors of this i ns tit u tion was held in the board-room, for the purpose of receivi n g the re p ort of the financial condition of the hospital during the p ast y ear, and on general business. The minutes of the last quarterly court having been confirmed, the financial report was pre sented. The balance in hand on the 31st of December, 1849, was 805/. 43. 9d. The annual subscriptions amounted to 3,3671. 14s. 10d., and the life subscriptions to 255/. The di vidends were 2,378/. 18s. 2d., and these sums—added to the receipts from pupils, benefactions, and legacies—gave a total ordinary income of 6,973/. 4s. 43. The vale of stock during the year realised 7,601/. 17s. 11d., and 1111. Bs. 4d. had been received from the Sun and Westminster Fire Insurance offices for damages done by the late fire at the hospital. The total receipts for the year amounted to 15,506/. 14s. The receipts on behalf of t'e convalescent fund were 255/. 17s. 7d. The expenses of the establishment for the year were 12,199/. 6s. 4d., and 2,520/. had been paid on ac count of building contracts and architect's commission. 3521. 9s. Bd. had been pail to answer special claims ; snaking the expenditure 15,071/. 165., and leaving a balance of 434/. 188. in favour of the charity. This statement was received, and, after the trantactioa of some routine business, the board separated. DUTY ON FIRE POLICIES. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the provost and magistrates of Montrose, against the duty on tire policies, SUNDAY TRADING BILL. The HON:EENBER also presented a petition from Marylebone, against the Sunday Trading Bill. REDUCTION OF DUTY ON COFFEE AND TIMBER. Mr. MOFFATT wished to ask the Chancellor of Exchequer when he intended that the proposed reduc tion of the duty on coffee and timber should come into effect? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was anxious that the reduction should take place as soon as possible, but as he had no control over the House it was impossible for him to fix any particular day. THE NEW HOUSE-TAX. Sir J. DUKE wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended that warehouses, which were not before charg‘d with window duty, should now come under the operation of the home-tax? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No houses which do not come under the deacription of in habited houses will be assessed to the tax. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY wished to know whether shops which were part of house, would be included in tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that such premises as those described by the Hon. Al derman would be liable to the tax of 6d. in the pound, instead of 9d., as other houses were taxed. Mr. J. WILLIAMS inquired whether houses would be rated to the tax under the poor-rate assessment or under a new one? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said th st he proposed that the assessment should be on the annual value of the houss, but at present he would not confine himself to any particular mode of getting at the value. He certainly sheuld not take poor-rates as. sessmeot, because then parishes would have the power of limiting the amount of income-tax which they would have to pay at their own pleasure. THE BUDGET. RE-IMPOSI LION OF THE INCOME-TAX. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Com mittee of Supply. Mr. HERIIIES rose, according to notice' to move, as an amendment, " That it is the opinion of this House that the respective duties in Great Britain on profits ari.ing from property, proiessions, trades, and cffices, 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 subse quent 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 and continued; and, in order to secure their speediest practicable cessation, to limit b y Parliament, inducing a e u s d aid fo i nr them,ristihng the renewal of any portion of them to such an amount as may be sufficient, in the existing state of the public revenue, to provide for the expenditure sanctioned i public h credit." hopeed i t .

Of the nature of theprojel voyage to the Arctic Seas by Mr. Kennedy and his crew of Orkney men, in search of Sir Jon Franklin, a few notes are supplied by the John 0 . Groat Journal. Mr. Kennedy is now at Aberdeen, where the little ship, the " Prince Albert," is fitttng out. The route to be followed is by Lancaster Sound, then down Prince Regent's Inlet as far as possible. The ship is then to be moored in some harbour, and two boats will be desdatcbed in ♦arious directions according to circumstances, or as the openings in the ice may present. One boat it is intended to briug overland to the western shore, at Cresswell or Brentford Bay in the direction of the magnetic pole. The other will bo sent south wards to Felix Harbour, and will cress I3oothia Isthmus, and after striking the sea•coaa: will pro ceed by Sir, James ROES'S Strait to meet the other boat. After meeting, the y will again diverge and explore westward. It is then intended that one of the boats be dispatched in the direction of Simps eon's Straits, whilst the other will be directed north w cst with a view to come en the track of Dr. Rae and his party. Mr. Kennedy has been thirteen years in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company, and spent eight years of that period in Labrador. Knowing the country, and the abundance of deer, salmon, and marine animals, he has ,he firm to . rseasion that at least a partiou of Sir James Franklin's party are yet alive. He goes out with out fee or reward, animated by a pure devotion to the service. The crew consists of seventeen persons, nearly all natives of Orkney. The expedition is to be conducted on teetotal principles; and the ship will be ready for sea by the end of this month. She carries three boats —one of mahogany, one of common materials, ani one of gutta percha. Me.srs. Duthie, of Aberdeen, ere building a boat specially for Mr. Kennedy 'a use. It is to ue twenty-two feet long, only two feet wide at roe• inidships, or broadest part, and after being covered with hide or gutta percha, with one person set in it— canoe fashion—is calculated to draw only three inches of water, the dereh of the boat is to be twelve inches at the seat. It is intended to propel this extraordinary craft after the manner of the naeiv'•s of these regiona— lise Esquimauz—by a double-bladed oar, and the person seated in it will be covered up with a skin dress, but toned to the chic► and fastened to the d. ck, that, in the event of its being swamped, it cmn easily be' righted again without any water getting into it. Mr. Kennedy con templates not only using this boat for crossing rivers over ice, and down rapids, but to make it his couch of repose all night, by simply pulling a blanket over him, and there repose in a temperature that in,kes one freeze to think of it. Ho has been accustomed to these hard ships, and has stood many ❑ights in similar circum stances, with she thermometer 40 to 50 degrees below zero; often, too, with no covering but the canopy at heaven. The Prince Albert will be provisioned for two years. All success attend her. Letters have been received from Commander Pullen, the officer in charge of the boat platy from the Mackenzie River, in search of Sir John Franklin. They are dated Fort Good Hope, Mackenzie River, July 17, 1850. and detail the proceedings of the party, who were upon the point of starting, and hoped to reach the sea about the 231 ot that month. The season had been extraordi narily fine, and the party were confident of an open sea. Others also, natives of the country, were of the same opinion. Should they find provisions and fuel plentiful on Banks's Land, it is possible that they might winter there, for the further prosecution of the search next season.—lnverness Courier. SUPPOSED LOSS OF THE NEW YORK PACKET, SHIP IVANHOE. We regret to state that little doubt now remains as to the fate of the splendid New York line of packet-ship Ivanhoe and her officers and crew, respecting whose loss grave apprehensions have recently been entertained. Hitherto no public notice of the tact of the ship's non arrival has been taken, from a disposition to hope even against hope; but by the royal mail steam-ship Asia ac counts were received from Savannah, on Saturday evening, which render it unnecessary and futile, we fear, any longer to preserve silence. Most of our readers will remember that some months ago the Ivanhoe, whilst in a storm at sea, lost her Commander, Captain Knight, who was swept overboard, unseen, from the poop. Her then chief mate afterwards received the command, and when the Ivanhoe last left New York, early in February, was making, we believe, his voyage hither in that capacity. Subsequently to her departure from New York the Ivanhoe was observed by the Joseph Walker, which arrived in the Mersey on the 13th ultimo, ashore on Nantucket Shoals during a fresh gale of wind, with her sails spread. Her arrival at this port was, however, daily expected, but without avail; and at b.ngth grave fears of her safety were awakened by the fact that large quantities of wreck such as would belong to a ship of the Ivanhoe class had been passed off the Shoals in question. On Saturday, however, circumstantial evidence of a more marked character arrived in Liverpool ; namely, a re port from Savannah that the ship Julia Howard, whilst on her passage from Boston to that city, pa,sed, on the 12 h ult., in lat. 30 34, long. 71, a quan tity of wreck and picked up a broken oar, upon the blade of which the word Irsishae was stamped. Bales of cotton and casks, Is ith the private marks thereon, had also been picked up; and, al ;hough the discovery of abroken oar cannot alone be taken as evHence of the ship being entirely lost, with ill her crew, set, combined with the other evidence already alluded to, we fear it must destroy even the remotest hype entertained of the Ivanh e's safety. The Ivanhoe was a fine ship, of about 1,300 tans register, and was formerly commanded by Captaiu Edwards, well known as baring made several quick passages in her between this port and New Yo-k. She was quite a favourite ship will both passengers and shippers of mrrehaudise, —Liverpool Albion.

THE STEAM BASIN AT PORTaMotiTH. —lt is supposed that some lumber progress will be to .de towards the completion of this work during the ensuing summer. For the last twelve months nothing has been done, and the plant is rotting. The inlet, or dock, at the south east corner of the basin is to be completed; hut the inlet, or dock, at the north test corner of the basin will, it is said, be filled up and levelled over, leaving the stone work, &c., in the present state, that it may be again excavated and completed, if required. If this be true, we think it bad economy; it would be doubling the expense, merely for the sake of deferring it for a year or two. Wind—N.E., moderate and cloudy. Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill. late captain.superin tendent of Deptford, has received his new commission. A congratulatory address to the gallant officer on his elevation to his flag rank is talked of.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Hier Majesty's steam-sloop Magicicune, in charge of Mr. Brown, secuLd-master at tenuant, having 'tad her ballast shifted aed restowed, left the port on Thursday for a trial cruise in the Channel. and returned again this afternoon. The Retributio❑ steam. frigate, which arrived from Lisbon on the 2.5 th alt., having been refitted and coaled, is now ready for sea, and is waiting sailing orders,which will in all probability be for the Cape of Good Hope. The Rhadamanthus steam vessel, Master Commander Belem, which arrived on Tuesday from Sheerness with arms and ammunition for the forces at the Cape, has also shipped here from the dockyard 100,000/. in specie for the same purpose. Her crew were paid weges in the pay-office at the dockyard this morning, and in the afternoon she sailed for her cli,stination. A melancholy event took place in connexion with her departure. Mr. Smithers Aides, Inspector of Police at iho Royal Wil liam Victualling-yard, accompanied by Mrs. Aldess, an unmarried daughter, mid Mrs. Mills, who is the wife of Mr. Mills, one of the eegioeers of the Rhadamanthus, left their residence in the yard, and proceeded to the water's edge to observe the steamer going out of Ha.* moaxe. When on the Clarence-wharf where they waved their hands to their friend on hoard, and immediately afterwards Mr. Aldess fell in a fit of apoplexy brought on probably by the excitement, and being conveyed home, expired within half an hour. Deceased was 63 years of age, and was formerly sergeant-major of the Woolwice4 divi,ion of the R , yel Marines; oa retiring he joined the Government pollee eitter there or a, Dept, ford, and came here several years since to undertake the duties of inapecter, from which he has been cut off in such an untimely m.nner The Rattler, 6. screw steam-sloop, Commander Arthur Cumming, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning, from the coast of Africa. Her dates are—St. Helena, Jan. 30 ; Asc , naion, Feb. 10; Sierra Leone, Feb. 26; and the Gambia, March 8. The Wasp, screw steam ship, Commander Crozier, and the Tortoise, guard-ship, Captain Hutton, were at As cension; and the Centaur, steam•frigate, Acting Captain Patten, with the broad pendant of Commodore Fanshawe, and the Cygnet, 6, Commander White, were at Sierra Leone. _ _ _ . The islands and squadron were healthy. The Heroine, Commander March, was the next vessel for England, to be ft, Ilowed by the Phenix, steam•aloop, Commander Lysaught. The Rattler came home entirely under canvas, having left all her coals for the use of the squadron; her engines are said to be in excellent order. She has been principally cruising in the Bights and on the south coast, and has been very fortunate, havit.g taken eight vessels, three of them full of slaves, in all about 900. It is expected that the share of prize money for an able seaman on board the Rattler will amount to about 501., thus more than doubling his pay for the two years' cruise. There appears at the present time to be nothing doing on the coast; the cruisers on the coast of Brazil, and the new regulations there, have nearly stopped that traffic, and what is now doing in the African coast is by Por tuguese vessels. Dr. Jones, late of the Hospital at Ascension (re lieved by Dr. John Davidson), and Mr. Loder, mate of the late Snap, have come home passengers in the Rattler. The Snap had been broken up at Ascension. Tho remains of the Flamer had been sold to the Liberian Government; and the engines that were formerly in the (late) Albert, steamer, have been brought home in the Rattler. Rattier has been very healthy during her term of fe y, vice. She has only lost one person by death, namely, Mr. Chace, the chief engineer, who died about twelve months back from fever. Rattler proceeded on Saturday evening for Woolwich to pay off. Hecla, steam-sloop, Commander Beauchamp, was off the Congo. Phcnnix, screw-sloop, Commander Lysaght, off Coquimbo. Philom el, 6, Commander Forbes, off Benguela. Sealark, 8, Commander Sotheby, off Am brit z; and the remainder of the squadron in the Bights. Centaur was expected to proceed to the South Coast shortly after the Rattler sailed for Sierra Leone.

MANCHESTER, APRIL s.—The flour trade has undergone little or no change since our last report, the dealers and bakers having refrained from purchasing, unless compelled by their, requirements for present consumption; whilst factors, influence' by the steady diminution in their stocks and the continued ab sence of supplies, have exhibited unabated firmness as regsrd e , prices ; indeed, in some few instances for fresh-made parcels of approved quality rather more money has again been realized' Oatmeal has moved off steadily, at a further improvement ni s • value. Into Liverpool and Runcorn a moderate quantity 0 ` oats and oatmeal is reported from Ireland, but coastwise thee are no arrivals worthy of notice, and from abroad the import s are comyaratively light. At our market this morning there was only a limited amount of business transacted, but both wheat and flour firmly maintained fully the previous currenCY' Oats must be noted Id per 451 b, and oatmeal 6d per load , dearer. NOTTINGHAM, APRIL s.—Our market was MOderate y supplied with wheat, and last week's prices were fully support e The show ,of barley was rather better, and in some instance higher prises were made, but the demand was limited. 33eane were Is per quarter dearer.

The value of each descriptii oo o grain continues without much alteration. Foreign wheat s " d advanced to the extent of 6d per barrel, and several Ito parcels have changed hands at the improvement. The sisar.' og is quite bare of barley. Oats are held firmly, holders V I ,/ unwilling to submit to the offers of purchasers, and looking c fidently to an improvement on the current rates. Owing . , o t this the sales which have taken place in the article are _,`"o large. We observe more firmness and an improved bui 4 ir o t passing in flour, the advance that has taken place in vcp having produced a corresponding improvement in the ris lP ro factured article.
