Ivo bm Elton GERMAN Y. The Kollar Zeitung has advices from Milan, con temning some details of the army of observation which Austria is concentrating on the frontiers of Piedmont. Of this army there are 40,000 men and 60 pieces of artillery in and around Pavia ; 15,000 men and 30 cannon are at Magenta ; 20,000 men and SO cannon are at Milan ; and 10,000 men with a corresponding artillery force, are at Como. The Diet of the kingdom of Hanover was opened on the 12th inst. The Kolne;Z eitung states from Cassel, that the Electoral War-office, acting on the instigation of 'ount Leiningen, has deired the Hessian officers to furnish a declaration, and to sign an undertaking, by which they bind themselves to unconditional obedience, and to a recognition of the Elector's de crees of September last. This measure has excited the greatest indignation at Cassel, especially as it was thought that the officers would yield to this re newed attack upon their firmness and endurance. The Cassel official Gazette states that the meeting of the Assembly of Estates will not take place. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE DERBY.

EDWARD MANNING, OF " BETTING LIST" CELEBIIITY.—This unfortunate man, who kept a very large book, and laid against horses to a great ex iota foricbmingleients, at the Crown Tavern, Clifford's nn-passage, Fleet-street, died suddenly on Friday morn ing, at three o'clock. He was taken seriously ill on Friday week, and it is believed was consumptive. He had been a printer on the Morning Herald, but his health declining he became a betting man. This was Cu; person who laid 6,0001. to, IMO/. against Grecian; the money for which bet was stalied,_ and now remains in the Westminster Bank. This bet is off as a Matter of course, bat some difficulty will arise i❑ ascertaining to whom the 6,000 L belongs. He has made a will, and this point will have to be settled with his executors. Another difficulty will arise with those who hared stakel their money to receive certai❑ amounts on t he success of any horse or horses they may have backed. In this way we hear Mr. Manning became possessed of very large sums. It is stated that those who held tickets can their production will receive their money back, but from the suddenness of the fatal occurrence no definite arrangement has yet been made, and a good deal of agitation prevails both in London and the provinces, as Mr. Manning was a constant advertiser, and had a highly creditable reputation. —Sporting Paper.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.) A lower range of prices exists this week, with scarcely - an exception, for dividend mines. We trace this result, as before indicated, to this class of mines having been unusually sought after at the commencement of a brisk market, by which they were elevated beyond their natu ral or legitimate value as property for investment; the market is, therefore, at the present time, quite in favour of the buyer. In other mines a very preponderating business continues to be transacted, with a discrimination I'.igbly creditable to the majority of speculators; and in seine of the progressingconcerns we have a considerable rise in value to note, founded on actual discoveries of ore. In the Metal Market, Copper is in good request.—ln English Tin, the demand for refined exceeds the supply, but bars and blocks are quiet; a good business has been done in Foreign, at steady prices. —Tin-plates continue to move off freely at full prices. —Lead is firm. The Keswick Mines sold 3 tons of lead ore, at 101. 7s. ad ; .and 12 tons at 10/. 17s. Gd. per ton. The sale of black tin from Wheal Vincent went off well, and produced satisfactory prices : the amount realised was 901. 14s. 21, from which is to be deducted the due; 1-15th. 61. Os. I Id. The biddings for the Newtonard's lead ore, about 100 tens, varied from 9/. 12s. 6d. by Locke and Co., to that of Joseph Walker, Parker, and Co., 11/. ss. 6d. Teen) were sold from Strontian mine, at Bagillt, 60 I mi of silver lead ore, at 11/. 17s. per toe. Tamar sold in London, 69 tons of silver-lead ore, at 181.155. per ton. East Wheal Rose sold 133 tons of silver-lead ore, at frtinr 141. Is. to 141, 15e. per t on . Ilerodsfo o e So ire, at 121. fid. at Liskeard, 80 tons of silver-lead sampled Wheal klranco 96 t ons o f ore at L opwe ll, on Wednesday. They h a " tom, and have Coalmen got the wat er ou t o f th e bot cesel l driving the 74 fathom level. At fluwkmoor, 37 ton last. East of good quality ore %e re sampled on Tuesday as East Wheal George sampled, for the first time at Lop well,, on Wednesday week, 2 1 teas, dry weight, Ja nuar y ores. Business has been done in East Wheal Russell at former high rates; and, as the engi ne w i ll be erected, t and the sinking of the shaft continued in a few days, the progress of the concern is l o oked to with gre a t interest.' A `act of great importance is, that the lode is so large (about 35 feet wide) and underlays ao little, that the nerpendicular shaft will be sunk in it to a depth of 40 firm—thus proving the lode as they go doers, Crebors are still in demand, at advance] prices. There have been a good many inquiries for North - Whsal Roberts. and some transactions have taken place. Independent of its own merits, its proximity to the we s t n` El4t. Wheal George adds to its importance, the shares iu whish have changed hands at a high premium. .At Trethellan, they expect the next two months' pro duce to by I'2o tone. Court Grange sampled 24 tons of silver-lea 3 ore on Wednesday. They .. ha - now about 8 tons of copper ready at Pa ren. and sampled 10 tons of silver-lead on Wednesday. Alt-y-Crib are dressing 9 tons of silver-lead per week; the air sh a f t i s in capital ore, the end driving west still good, and the mines look well. At Ecgair-hir, the lade in the adit, with the tributers, ia yielding 3 tons per fie.; they will dress 10 or 12 tons this month, from two men's working. It is believed there are thousands of tons of ore over the adit level. At Bronfloyd, the lode of tributers continues very good, and the deep adit driving east improving. THE SUN, At Cwm Daren, the copper stopes are worth 61 . per fin., and the silver lead stopes 121. to 151. per fm. At Bwlch Consols, the lode in the 35 and 45 yields I ton per fm., and the 55 is improving; they are getting on well with the dressing. At Cue Gynon, the ore ground yields 101. to 121. worth of ore per fm. In Lamherooe Mine very important improvements are announced; there is a regular tin lode in the 50 fin. level engine -shaft, and in containing at the surface on the champion lode, east of the cross course, a large lode has been opened on, containing a branch of 4 or 5 in. rich tin ore. A dividend of 6/. per share has been declared by Wheal Friendship. The Lewis Mines declared a dividend of 10s. per share on Wednesday. The next sampling is expected to be above 30 tons, which will leave a profit of upwards of 400/. At the Wheal Seton meeting on Monday, the accounts showed-Copper ores sold, Oct. 31 and Dec. 5 (less dues. 2901. 14s. lOd.), 4,070/. 10s. Bcl.

The report stated that the 70 fm. level, north of Furzehill, yielded from 6 to 7 cwts. per fno. The 60 yielded 7 cwts. per fathom; the 60 south slightly productive. The 26, north of Church-lane shaft, is worth 8 cwts. of ore per fm. The tribute department wae satisfactory, and notwithstand ing the rainy weather, Lilo sampling was only 2 tons less than last.

In approaching the north wall tike lode became more orey, with a strong mixture of blexle and lead ore, 12 in. wide on the wall, with a leader of solid ote 2 in. wide, and flakes of solid lead overlapping the killas; sufficient has not been opened to know the value of the lode, but so far it is saving work. The Smithy level has produced ore throughout its driving, And there are stoped and driven Si fins. 4 ft. of ground, of which 19 fins. 5 ft. 6 in. are 6 in. of orey ground. A call barren, leaving 61 fins. 4 ft.. of Is. per share was made. At the Dyfngwm bi-monthly meeting, on Wednesday, P. D.

At the East Wheal Reeth meeting, on Wednesday, the report stated that there was an improvement in the 10 fathom end, there being a leader from the west which had changed the ground for the better. The shaft was cleared to that level, where another on the cross-course was discovered, full of stuff, and another south by the side of the cross-course, 24 fathoms from the shaft, in tended, no doubt, to cut the caunter and Wheal Reeth lodes. The ground is not hard-41. 103. per fm.-and it is hoped to obtain the object in three months with the water-wheel, by which time the steam-engine will be erected. A discovery has been made in Wheal Reeth, going east towards this mine. It was resolved that the contract with Mr. J. 11. Gray, C.E., be accepted, to meet which a call of 103. per share was made.

The shaft was down 15 fms., being in size 9 ft. by 7 ft. It stated the indications to be equal to anything the writer ever saw, and believed the most sanguine expectations would be realized. At South Wheat Frances .meeting, on Thursday, it was resolved that the shares, which bad previously been Dolcoath adventurers 12A4thlse,nsehrosiulnid e i o n ti f n u g tu o r f e t b h e e 2 s 4 o B u t hths LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, will be held on the 4th March, when the affairs and position of the company is to he considered. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) VACANT COMMANDS-IN-CHIEF IN 1851. The following Commanders-in-Chief will have com pleted their allotted periods of service during the pre sent year: — MEDITERRANEAN—AdmiraI Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., Comusander-in-Chief in the Mediterra nean, appointed February, 1845, having now served a double term. It is reported that the Government have determined on :continuing Sir William in command of this station until the Portsmouth command is vacant. WEST INDIES—Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., term of service expired Jan. 12, 1848, to be re lieved next month by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, G.C.H., appointed last month. Commodore Thomas Bennett, second in command, ap pointed Feb. 7, 1848. DEVONPORT—AdmiraI Sir William Hall Cage,:G.C.H., appointed April 17, 1848, to bo succeeded, says report, by Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanney, K.C.B. NORE —Vice- Admiral the Hon. George Elliot, C. 8., appointed May 9, 1848. SOUTH-EAST COAST OF AMERICA—Rear-Admiral Bar rington Reynolds, C. 8., appointed to the Cape Station, Aug. 1848. PORTSMOUTH—AdmiraI the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, K.C.8., appointed Sept. 13, 1848. REDUCTION IN THE NAVY ESTIMATES FOR THE NEXT FINANCIAL YEAR.—We have already prepsred our Yekthrs to expect some reduc:iun in the Navy Estimates for the ensuing financial year 1851-52. We are now enabled to state that the amount of money required to be voted for the naval service, including the expenses of the contract mail-packet service, 700,000/., and the expense of the Admiralty packet service, 82,000/., will be about 5,700,0001., or about 400,000/. less than that voted for the current year; and compared with last year, it will show a red]ction of one million. We believe, as we have before stated, that there will be uo reduction in the number of men; but the iron steamers having been paid for, no money will be required for iron ship building, and there will be a considerable reduction in the estimates for machinery and stores, and the amount required for dockyards and establishments at home and abroad will also be reduced, _ We regret to hear that Major-General Lord Frede derick Fitzclarence, commanding the South-Western District, has had a relapse, and is compelled to prolong his stay at Malvern. His Lordship had intended to return to his command early in the next week. THE TROOPS IN THE COLONIES.—The Regiments stationed in tha Australian colonies and New Zealand are to be reduced to six Service Companies each, and to have a Four Company Depot for duty at home; it is expected that the greater number of the men, instead of returning to England, will be induced to become settlers. THE TULLOCHS AGAlN.—Captain Tulloch, Staff Officer of Pensioners for Edinburgh, but who for some time past has been employed on special service at Til bury Fort, is to be appointed Military Superintendent of Pensioners in Canada; and it is expected that he will be promoted to a majority. TROOPS FOR EMBARKATION.—The ships Athenian and Edward have been engaged to embark the 3rd Buffs at Cork for Malta. Her Majesty's steam-ship Birken head will Convey the 55th Regiment to Gibraltar about the end of February; the 68th Light Infantry is to embark at Cork for Malta the end of February in the Resistance, troop ship ; her Majesty's steam ship Vulcan is to con vey the 74th Highlanders from Cork to Gibraltar the end of the month ; and the 92nd Highlanders will em bark about the cud of. February in Her Majesty's ship Apollo at Cork for Corfu. NEW ACCOUTREMENTS.—We understand that the 7th Fusiliers, recently moved into Portsmouth, look exceed ingly well in the improved accoutrements, which will no dount become general in the Service. EMBARKATION of TROOPS.—The Service Companies of the 41st Regiment, udder the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Carpenter, embarked at Quenstown for Carfu on Tuesday, the 11th of February, in her Majesty's ship Hercules, which sailed the same day for her destination. CAVALRY FOR INDIA.—It is rumoured that the 6th Dragoon Guards will embark for India in the spring of the year 1853, to relieve the 3d Light Dragoons. Captain Yates of the Britannia, 120, ordinary guard ship at Portsmouth, has served the usual term of three years; but we believe the gallant officer, if he lives, will remain another year.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FORGERY OF TITLE DEEDS IN PEMBROKESHIRE. It is pleasing to find that the important subject of the general registration of assurances affecting land, has at ' length been brought to the attention of her Majesty's Government, with a view to some legislative enactments on the subject. It is doubtless one of a difficult nature to deal with, and the arguments as well against as for the establishment of a general registry, are unquestion ably of a very formidable character. But there seems to be a growing opinion in favour of a change, and not a few instances have lately come to light in proof of the serious evils of the present system. Among some which have occurred in our own neighbourhood, may be men tioned the following flagrant case which has just been disclosed. A clergyman of the Church of England, who had the spiritual oversight of two parishes in South Wales for a period of mote than twenty years, died within the last twelve months. His kindness to the sick, his liberality to the poor, and his general attention to his pastoral duties, gained for him the respect and esteem, not only of his parishioners, but of all who knew him ; his talents as a preacher were of the highest order. lie was ready at all times to undertake the delivery of anni versary sermons and other extra parochial ministerial duties, which he always did with great ability, and on those occasions, his services were eagerly sought after. Shortly after his institution to the principal benefice he held, he purchased of one of his parishioners at different times, a little property consisting of from 20 to 30 acre:, upon which he erected a comfortable dwelling-house and out-offices as a residence for himself and his family. In a few years atterwards he purchased another small farm in an adjacent parish. Although the income of this reverend gentleman from his Church preferments amounted to between 250/. and 300/. a year, it was generally understood in his neighbourhood that ho was in needy circumstances, and tbat he had recourse to the not uncommon practice of borrowing money, but his station in life and character precluded the remotest sus picion that any other thin the ordinary modes had been adopted for obtaining loans. However, on his death (intestate), an advertisement was issued calling on all persons who had claims on his estate to send them in; in answer to which, to the utter amazement of all per tieg, notices were given from various parts o: the king dom of some fifteen or twenty mortgages and charges on his property to the extent of five or six times the value therefore; and on further enqniries being made, it appearod that each claimant possessed what purported to be an original set of title and purchase deeds of the estate inot tgaged! How came this to pass? Why the Reverend Gentleman, assisted by a village schoolmaster who is also dead, employed not a little time in fabri cating those deeds and other documents of title from copies of the original ones which he possessed, and so admirably were they manufactured, that he was enabled to pass them off without suspicion or enquiry, and obtain money on them to an almost unlimited ex tent. It seems the spurious documents are not only drawn, ex:cuted, and attested in regular technical form, but in order to make them look more genuine, means were made use of for relieving them of their freshness and modern hue and to give them the appearance of antiquity, the better to agree with their dates. In this way many members of the legal profession both in Lon don and in the provinces have been victimised. The eyes of several of them are now opened, but alas ! it is too late ; among others, however, doubts still remain as to whose parchments are entitled to precedence, and there are, it seems, legal proceedings now pending to try tie comparative merits of the respective documents. Such is a brief outline of this most distressing case; to detail the full particulars, however interesting and useful they might ho to the public by patting them on their guard, would occupy too much time and space; and it is, not unlikely that they may before long be more fully reported in another form. But we think enough has been said to justify the Government in at once intro ducing a measure which will have the effect of putting a stop to such wholesale fraud as this, whether attempted by a plausible country person or by a crack London forger.— Welshman SHIP NEWS.

LONDO N FEVER HosprrAL.—The usual annual meetir; of the managers of this institution was held yester day afternoon, at the Freemasons"ravern, Great Queen street; Mr. William Everett, vice-president, in the. chair. Dr. Tweedie, physician to the hospital, read the annual me dical report, from which it appeared that the number of pa tients received into the hospital during the past year was 562, of whom 422 had been cured, 90 had died, and the rest were undergoing treatment at the hospital. Of those ad mitted, 67 were domestic servants from private houses. The nature of the fever prevailing during the year was low type, and not a single case of blood-letting occurred throughout the year. From the report on the state of the accounts of the hospital, it appe tred that the total expenditure for the year amounted to 2,141/. 65., and the receipts to 1,8211. 75. 7d., leaving a deficit of 319/. 18s. 4d. The committee in their report lamented that the annual subscriptions had fallen off so much lately, that it had been found necessary to sup ply the deficit from legacies and stock which had been set aside to form a permanent fund. The several reports having been received, the meeting accorded a vote of thanks to the chairman, and then dispersed.

ZEIE LIVERPOOL POWDER MAGAZINES IN DANGSR —On Tuesday evening lust a sloop, called the Nevin Packet, of 40 tons burden, having on board about :3361ba. of gun powder, took fire while lying at anchor nearly opposite the Wallasey magazines. By the mast persevering and prompt efforts of the crew the gunpowder (which was in the boat on deck, covered with a tarpaulin) was removed to the beach. Had it ignited, the damage in all probability would have been incalculable, as several vessels, having on board gunpowder, to the extant of from ten to thirty tons, were lying at dis tances from her varying from 150 to 200 yards, and the powder magazines wore in close contiguity.— Chester Courant.

After a few words from Lord . , CAMPBELL, the motion was agreed PETITIONS. Lord STANLEY presented several petitions against Papal aggression. RAILWAYS IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. 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 fur 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 Fear, 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 rot a question of commercial speculation, that ho 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 1,000,0001. of public money had been expended upon it. In the pro • viuce 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 preference to New Brunswick, but upwards of 5,000 persons had left New Brunswick to settle in the United States. In Ca nada'Went, on the: contrary, where State as sistnnee had 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 8,000,0004 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 roan ained loyal. The emigrants from this country, when they had a flee choice, preferred the United States to our own colonies, and that because they found they had 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 bo 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 tho c.ilony of New Brunswick. The proposedline would go from Halifiii to Quebec. Tire whole lay through British ter ritory, and it would not be expedient to leave the com munication 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 subjecr, and who was equally distinguished by his intelligence, his desire to benefit the colony, and his loyalty. Ho hoped that all papers relating to the subject would he laid on the table. Lord STAN LEY 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 communication. 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^,p00 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 eontrol 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 pozsessing 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 800,000/., 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. ; brit 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 of waste land in the colons - 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 11,000,000 acres of unoccupied land flir 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 wayoi in which the N o bl e Earl the Foreign Secretary might aid the undertaking, Lie believed, if the Governm e nt were , to give their guarantee conjointly with' that of the prov inces, that capitali s t s would be found in this country perfectly ready to exec u t e t h e line. He did not recommend any particular one of th e courses suggested by the colonists for raising " the necessary loans, but lie thought it was right that the colonists should know what the Government of this country intended to do in the matter At pre3ent Nova Scotia had passed an Act for mar rying out their portion of . 'the line. New Brunswick had passed a resolution guaranteeing the wast e lands anti a cer isoyearly sum. He did not blame the Noble Earl the Co lonial Secretary for beirg a little cautious in the matter; but there were cases in' which a prompt an d d ecisive course of ac tion was Ultimately the best policy, and he believed, if the ,Noble Earl would only Say that ' Giesernment would grant assistance, that these great works would speedily be com pleted. He 'was afraid, that unless Government or the Par lianient of this country interfered,.these works:would beln definitely postponed, the communication between two great provinces would not be opened, the stream of emigration from this country would not be to our own colonies. but to the United States, and the communication between Que hcc 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 advr ,nta ge: I of the traffic not to our colonies, but to the United States. r ' The course of Government was open, either for gre At evil or i great good. It would be a great evil to exhibit apt' A b y ; and he, therefore, hoped Government would act in that prompt , i manner which, iu such matters, best promoted the honour 4 and interest of the country. / 1 .. . Earl GREY would not say more than a few words: on te e present occasion. He would, however, express.his fail semi of the importance of the subject, and state that it had f or some time engaged his most serious attention. He wo uld not now state the various difficulties that stood in the way of a decision. The subject was under the considerati on o f her Majesty's Government, and a gentleman of great, stand • ing in Neva Scotia had been deputed to collect infer elation and to communicate with the Government on the. ,subject. He hoped, long before the present session corethe led, he should be able to come to a definite decision on the q uestion. With reference to the slow progress of New Brume. Nick, he believed it was to be attributed to the few publie rks that had been commenced. With respect to Canathe, the t advances which it had made in wealth and civilizat'.on—an advance which was far beyond any other colony--was owin g to the number of public works that had been :complete,l. The effect of these public works had particularly been Veit since the•repeal of our navigation laws. Few persons had been able to anticipate the great development of caninerce that these changes had given rise to. The now 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 bad 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.

The SPEAKER said that it was not competent for the Hon. Member 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.

CEYLON. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said, that seeing his • Hon. Friend the Under-Secretary for the Colotdes 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 thy objection now t 3 lay it or its contents on the table of the House? Mr. HAWES said that the letter to which' his Hon. Friend had referred was one of an entirely private nature. It was written by the Archdeacon of Colombo to Sir Emerson Torment, and it was required by the writer that it should not be produced mil, ss the whole of its spirit was express( d. Sir E. Tennent did read so much of the letter as was necessary to explain the matter to which it referred, and to express its spirit. But the letter itself was not in the possession of the Colonial office, and therefor,. 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 7 nals, that the number of inmates in the Limerick union woe khouse 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 Corn reissionera 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 adept 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 bad, 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 modaticn 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 seduced to 507; but the Honourable Gentleman should remember that, though the excess was very large, yet 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, be 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) bar' no doubt that very soon there would be an excess of accommodation as com pared with the number of people within the workhonse, VALUATION OF PROPERTY IN IRELAND. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if it was the intention of GoVernmeht to introduce any measure this session to correct the mode of taking the general valuation of Ireland.(now in progress)? Sir %V. 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).

'• HOUSEHOLD NARRATIVE." Mr. MO WATT. wished to rut a que,iion to th e Chancellor of the .Exchequer. It would be in his mot !Petiten that some days ago a question was pat to him to the tEif et whether he could state, with reference to the legal proceedings against Bradbury and Evans, the pull, fisher.; of a journal conducted by Mr. Ch ar l es Di c k ens, and entitled Household *Nurriztivi, the grounds on which those legal prooeedings it,tl been directed? He now wish& d to know what particular point lie alluded to on that occasion when ho stated : that the argument was. to be heard before the Barons Of the Exchequer?
