iftt 1 1 1:1"t' 0 n IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) (Continued from our First Edition.) MAYNOOTH. Mr. HUIVIE considered that the property of the Church was public and not private property,- given for the promotion of religion among the people ; but instead of being used for that purpose, it had been reserved for the support of the members of certain families. If they meddled with religious endowments at all, they should sweep them away altogether. Nothing would contribute so much to peace and unanimity among the people in Ireland as the adoption of such a course. He confessed he felt in a somewhat difficult position in regard to the way he should vote ; but, on the whole, he thought the best course would be to withdraw the amendment. Captain BELLEW said, though he approved of the principle of the amendment, he should vote against it, because it did hot go far enough and include all religious grants. If the amendment was made to extend to the Regium Donum and the Established Church, he would have great pleasure in supporting it. Mr. STAPLETON could not recognise any distinc tion between the income of the Established Church, derived from laud or tithes, and that obtained from the consolidated fund ; the whole he treated as the property of the public, and therefore he could not see by what rule of justice the hon. member could omit the Regium .Donum from his amendment. Mr. MAGUIRE • also objected to the amendment because it was not sufficiently comprehensive. Though he was a conscientious Protestant, he denied that the Established Church was either a blessing or a boon to Ireland, and he thought that a great benefit would be conferred on that country by its removal. Mr. W. J. FOX said that neither the voluntary prin ciple nor the principle of the Established Church was involved in the amendment. To what it really related was, whether taxation drawn from the whole people should be applied for the benefit of particular classes, sects, or denominations. To such a grievance the amendment was opposed, and he trusted it would obtain even the support of the honourable mem ber for North Warwickshire, because it was as hOstile to the Maynooth grant as his own resolu tion: He might say it put the resolution in a better shape, and gave it a dignity which it did not formerly possess—it raised it, in fact, from an attack at• a particular creed into the dignity of an assertion in favour of a general principle. He was altogether op posed to all religious sects being equally supported by the Government ; for if clergymen-, and priests, and ministers were alike in the receipt of Government money, it would be supposed they had an interest in supporting the existing Government, however oppressive might be its administration of affairs. It would be imagined that they did not preach against one another in order to at tain the truth, but to promote some personal and sinister objects of their own, and thus people would take an aversion to religion altogether. He should support the amendment, believing that all grants to particular sects impaired the character of religion, and destroyed its in fluence on the population. Mr. J. BALL considered that the time was not far distant when the whole subject of religious grants must be considered by the house. He deprecated, however, making the house the arena for religious controversies, and trusted, when questions of this kind were again brought before it, they would be discussed in a different spirit. Sir J. SHELLEY hoped the hon. member for Bir mingham would not withdraw his amendment. He was in favour of even-handed justice being dealt out to all creeds and religions in the country, and, as a step in that direction, he would give his assent to the amend ment. Though the hon. member for North Warwick shire spoke so harshly of the oppression of the Roman Catholic Church, he believed that if he had it in his power he would flay and roast every member of that Church. Mr. LUCAS denied there was the slightest ground for the assertion, that the Maynooth grant was diverted from the objects which properly belonged to it. It was said that the Roman Catholics should be ashamed to re ceive so paltry a sum, that the grant was a mere out post of the Established Church, and that they ought to co-operate with Dissenters in trying to get it removed. (Hear, hear.) Let the hon. member so frame his amendment as to raise the whole question fairly between all sects and classes of the community, and he should obtain the cordial support of all who acted with him (Mr. Lucas), not only on the present occasion, but on every other occasion when he brought it forward. What he now complained of was, that the whole 'question was not fairly raised by th• amendment. It was not his object to obtain any undue advantage for the Roman Catholic Church, but to secure perfect reli gious equality in Ireland. Mr. PHINN deprecated all religious discussion as hurtful. and mischievous to the progress of public busi ness. He had voted against the motion of the hon. member for Nbrth Warwickshire, because he thought it was founded upon principles unfair to his Roman Catho lic brethren. He intended to vote for the present mo tion, because tie thought that the time was come for the house to inquire into the religious endowments of the country. (Hear, hear.) He was afraid that the difficulty of supporting this amendment, however, would largely increase by the language which had been held in the course of this debate by the Nonconformist members, who had gone with some bitterness into the whole subject of the endowment of the Established Church in this country. He believed that the inquiry proposed by the motion would be a great boon to the Established Church, because it would prove that that church was not so much more favoured as it was thought to be. Mr. WHITESIDE asserted that the Established Church in Ireland had never at any period of its history been so strong, powerful, and firm as it was now. What he wanted was to inquire, not into the fasts, discipline, and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church, but what Were the relations between the priests of Rome and the foreign power—whether the doctrines taught at May nooth were incompatible with civil Government. Those he thought were fair topics to be enquired into. If there were a committee appointed—a fair cnnamittee— he would undertake to demonstrate to the satisfac tion of the Roman Catholic laity that these were grave and serious questions. The hon. member for Meath on the hustings had, in a long speech, maintained that an Act of Parliament was not binding on Roman Catholics -without the consent of the Pope, and that, in fact, the Pop e was more powerful than the Queen and Parlia ment. But the hon. member to-day had made a very ilifferent sort of speech. It was one thing for the hon. member to make a speech to the priesthood, and an other thing to address the British House of Commons— there a very different doctrine was necessary from that which would make this free assembly slaves to the Papacy. He thought it was a fair question to in quire into whether or not these were the doctrines taught at Maynooth. What was the fact at this mo ment I But a few weeks ago a gentleman of great learn ing a - nd ability, a Roman Catholic clergyman, had been app ointed by her Majesty to the vice-presidentship of tire Queen's College. The Pope forbade it, and, with much reluctance, he was obliged to resign it. Whose subject was the gentleman—the Queen's or the Pope's ? Then, again, he was informed that no gentleman could enter into the College of Maynooth without the written assent of Dr. Mac Hale or Dr. Cullen. These two prelates were known to be the great advocates of ultra-Montane doctrines, and he thought it was a prac tical question to inquire into, whether no one was al. lowed to enter into the college unless he was known to be a believer in these doctrines. Again, the commission which had formerly been appointed, and which had never reported, had been unable to ascertain whether the order of Jesuits had an establishment in the heart of Maynooth, and he thought that was another question for inquiry. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Serjeant MURPHY deprecated the reintroduc tion of religious topics into this discussion. He spoke in no sectarian spirit, but rather could with pleasure testify to the alacrity with which the Protestant clergy laboured during the time of famine in Ireland. At the last general election the priests so far from leading the People into the contest were dragged into it by them. 4. feeling, had been created in Ireland, not only by the Stockporte riots but also by th e G overnmen t proc l amat i on. Boßill Bishop of Oxford had lately said on the Clergy Reserv e s that a cl a i m o f j ust i ce was involved in the request l Fanada, and he said that a similar observation ;7 4 7; 1 apply to thi s quest i on. He denied that the May encour wns for religious purposes, it was solely t o gra age education, and was not on the same footing as the Regium, h(oire7.l: hear.) any other grant of a like re ligious nature. Mr. KIRK said ear. the only Irish PreslWmn in the house, and therwefaaor than 700,000 of the Iri s h e he represented no less le He could not sit still and hear the Regium, people. .Regiura Donum was granted het7:ll, grant abused. The tion of certain rights which Cler gy to he Cro wn in considera whom it was granted gave up ; but the continuing or discontinuing that grant was not now under discussion, or he should have been prepared to defend it at greater length . He was - well acquainted with the views of the Protestant population of the north of Ireland, and he knew that they were favourable to inquiry into the system of management at Maynooth. They felt that it would be unjust to with draw the grant before that inquiry had been h a d , and though he should resist the original motion to the ut most, he was not directly opposed to the amendment. Mr. COGAN was not opposed to inquiry, but this Was too great a question to be disposed of on an amend- ment. Mr. O'BRIEN regretted that the tone adopted last week. by the hon. member for Bath was not taken up by the bon, member for Enniskillen, and he was not sorry that this debate was drawing to a close. Of course, be could have no objection to a motion for inquiry into the state of Maynooth, though he deprecated some of the language which had been applied to that institution. The hon, and learned member for Cork had, however, fully expressed his views upon the whole subject, and he *Quid nut trouble the house further, seeing that the house was anxious to come to a division upon the question. Mr. AITT.NTZ valued no religion that required the assistance of a Government grant, and he therefore 1845 against the increase of the Maynooth grant in ' Icon. members who represented Ireland did not object to • agitating the repeal of m• • thou h ministers' money, they clamoured loudly against those who opposed ' *As grant to grAtaanytnso)th. He repeated that he was op hopeless td epect, as or s purposes, but it was these grants could be sw°lnet hon, members did, that all ' at once. They must be removed piecemeal, and aawaeaycommencement in that direction he was ready to reL the grant to Maynooth. "Sir J. E ITZGERALD complained of the continued agitation of this subject, as it had and was still creating considerable uneasiness in Ireland. Mr. SPOONER replied. The hon. and learned mem ber for Enniskillen had so fully entered into and dis posed of the whole question that it was hardly necessary for him to say a word by way of reply, but an appeal had more than once been made to him to say something about the motion for inquiry, that he could not resist the desire to detain the house for a few moments longer. Last year all the Irish members seemed favourable to an inquiry, though then, as now, they did all in their power to prevent it ; and if they were really consistent and sincere in their professions, they could not suffer the charges against Maynooth to go uncontradicted, or to remain without an inquiry into their truth or falsehood. What he complained of was not so much the doc trines that were taught at Maynooth, as the circumstance of the Legislature granting money to assist the teaching of those doctrines. Of course the Roman Catholic Church enjoyed perfect toleration to teach what it thought proper, but it had no right to call upon the country to pay for the teaching of doctrines that were not only injurious to society at large, but were diame trically opposed to those Protestant principles which the Legislature and the Crown were bound to support. He would not, however, purchase the withdrawal of the grant at the expense of a principle, and he could not, therefore, adopt the amendment in preference to the original motion. (Hear.) _ _ The house then divided on Mr. SCHOLEFIELD'S amend. ment to the original resolution, when there appeared — For the amendment 6B Against it 262 Majority MUTINY BILL, . 194 i This bill was read a second time; and ordered to be committed to-morrow.

THE SUN, LONDON, - WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1853. EMIGRATION TO MELBOURNE. --~- The following is an extract of a letter from William How;tt, dated Melbourne, Oct. 20 :—" It cannot be too widely or too publicly made known what those who come here have to expect on landing. They should be well informed of this, that they may calculate their funds accordingly. There are numbers of our fellow-passen gers who have not yet got their effects out of the ship, and thus have had to stop a month in this exorbitant place. All luggage has to pay 11. per ton measurement by the lighter, 1/. 10s. by the steamer ; but, in truth, I have seen none of the goods measured—they are merely guessed at. The clerks at the wharf; after they have coma up the river in the lighter, as soon as a cart is loaded with a passenger's effects, say That cart is 31. or 41. lighter age,' and they will not let it go out of the yard till the money is paid. I was made to pay 4/, for one cart load— the whole of my effects having cost 71. 10s. from London. But, as I happened to have with me my London mea surement, I got it corrected. Such, however, is not the case with many people ; they know that it is wrong, but they are obliged to pay. This is a strange way of doing business ; but they have many strange ways here, and they now only look on 20s. sterling as so many pence. Passengers should know that guessing is not measuring, and should be prepared to show what the true measure ment is. People coming hither should reflect, too, that they are coming into a colony abounding with expert thieves, who have been shipped from England to Sydney and Van Diemen's Land, and have assembled here to dig for gold in the pockets and coffers of the immi grants. There is no safety for the goods in the lighters, as the lighterrnen are very frequently finished thieves of the convict class, and they employ themselves, as the lighters come slowly up the river, in explor ing the interior of the packages entrusted to them, and selecting what suits them best. If the passengers find themselves minus such articles, there is no chance of re covering the value, unless they can prove that the packages went safely out of the ship into the lighter, and that they themselves saw the packages come out of the lighter. But this is a very difficult matter, and cannot be done, unleFis the passengers go down to the ship every day and watch the things put in ; and to do this they must often go down for a month together, at a cost of 16s. per day for a single individual. Once out of the lighter 11. per load is demanded for carting your things into the town ; once in the town another great difficulty is to be encountered—the difficulty of getting into any lodgings, even at the most astounding prices. Notwith standing the temporary wooden houses erected and the tents pitched on all sides of the town, the price of the poorest lodgings is four times what it would be in Lon , don, sometimes tenfold. Even for the tents you are charged ss. a-week standing room on the common round the town. I think that Government should allow immi grants the privilege of pitching their tents on the waste lands without charge at a time when they are profess ing great anxiety to accommodate them. Some of our fellow passengers are giving 21. and 31. a-week for poor empty rooms. I saw a cottage yesterday at Coiling wood which would let for about 101. a-year in England, but for which 2001. a-year is paid, without any garden at all. I saw another which a few years ago was pur chased for 1501.; the same has been sold several times, each time advancing in price, till now it is 12,0001. I saw a house to-day which might be built in England for 1,0001., and which was offered to Government for the use of the officers of the barracks for 4,500/., but as they hesitated the price then rose to 6,6001., and the Government took it lest it should go still higher. The Melbourneites have taken a few leaves out of the books of the Sybil. In this oddly circumstanced place, there fore, when the immigrants get their goods liberated and are ready to proceed to the diggings, they are next met by terrible accounts of the state of the roads, which early in the year are only too true, and they must pay from 701. to 1201. per ton for carriage for about 80 miles, or they must purchase a cart for 501. and a strong horse for 100/., or a couple of lighter ones for 80/,, to get their effects up the country. They must carry up all sorts of stores, especially flour, or they must pay at the rate of 101. per sack, and 3s. and 4s. for the 41b. loaf; and so on. They must do this, or they must trudge upon foot, as thousands and thousands do, with only a bundle on their backs containing a basket and a pick, and a spade on their shoulders. These mon, hardy as they are, have to stop under a tree or the open heavens, and become, many of them, cramped with rheumatism and attacked with dysentery. Such are the realities which meet the adventurer on the thres hold of the land of gold. These are followed by hard ships and severity of labour that men accustomed to offices and banks are totally unfitted for. Hence there are so many failures, and number are met coming down again in perfect dejection and destitution. I hope that long before this reaches England these facts will have been published—these obverse features of the golden medal of Australia Felix. But what must be the amount of distress when the number here is augmented by the tens and hundreds of thousands coming from America, Jamaica, England, and the Continent I perceive a considerable number of French and Germans here al ready. It begins now to be an opinion that in a few months, such is the swarm of people pouring in, there will be plenty of labour of all kinds, and then things will speedily find their level, to the astonishment of those who have purchased houses and land at the present exorbitant prices. In a while the colony will absorb them all." FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. RES FOR 1853. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, FED. 17. lesis denote the number o: -acing. UL.

'Killian Henry King, 50, Thomas Wyatt, 35, and Charles Hildebrand, 69, carver, surrendered to take their trial on an indictment charging them with forging and uttering a certain deed, purporting to be an assignment of a judgment debt of 5661. 55., with intent to defraud Mr. J. Jackson Lee, an attorney. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Metcalf conducted the prose cution, and Mr. Parry and Mr. Repton defended the prisoners. On the application of Mr. Ballantine a verdict of ac quittal was recorded as to Hildebrant, in order to enable him to be examined as a witness on behalf of the prose- cution. Tt appeared from the opening address of Mr. Ballantine, that King called himself a clerk to Mr. Lewis, a solicitor at Barnard's-inn, Holborn, but virtually carried on business as an attorney for himself, Mr. Lewis, who was a regu larly admitted attorney, living in the country, having merely allowed him to use his name, that being a prac tice which was not uncommon in the profession. Wyatt was a kind of clerk or companion to King. In 1846, Mr. Lee, the prosecutor, hearing that Mr. Lewis had a deed to dispose of, entered into communication with him upon the subject, and at length called at the office at Barnard's-inn, where he saw King, who represented himself as the managing clerk of Mr. Lewis, and who told him that a person named Gibbons, residing in Piccadilly, had a judgment debt for 566/. ss. against Lord Geo. Loftus, the son of the Marquis of Ely, and that if he (the prosecutor) was disposed to pur chase it, he would get Gibbons to make it over to him by a regular assignment. Though the judgment debt was for so large a sum, it was comparatively of little valu e t o • th ose w h o dealt in such securities, as Lord George Loftus was in very embar rassed circumstances, and as the prospect of obtaining the payment of the money was somewhat distant. Mr. Lee only offered, therefore, the sum of 701. This was accepted, and the debt was made over to Mr. Lee by a formal instrument, which purported to bear the signa ture of Mr. Gibbons, who was said to carry on the business of a carver and gilder in Piccadilly, the pur chase money being handed over to King by Mr. Lee, in three separate instalments of 50/., 10/., and 10/. No suspicion as to the genuineness of the document entered Mr. Lee's mind until about 6 months' ago, when he made inquiries both personally and in the newspapers respect ing Mr. Gibbons, but could find no trace of him, and it turned out that he was entirely a fictitious person. Hildebrand would prove that King requested him to at tach his signature to the deed, and that when he was about to sign his own name, he told him to write the name of Gibbons, which he consented to do. It would be seen further that, in order to make the transaction appear a genuine one, King had entered Hildebrand in his diary as if he were a Mr. Gibbons. At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution Mr. Parry addressed the jury for the prisoner King, and Mr. Ribton for Wyatt. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury, after consulting for some minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty against both prisoners. RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE COM. PANY-(THIS DAY). The seventh half-yearly meeting of this company was held to-day, at their offices, Old Broad-street ; Sir John Dean Paul, chairman. After the usual preliminary pro ceedings, the report was handed to the shareholders. It set forth that the total amount received for premiums during the half-year was 4,356/. 4s. 5d., and the entire income for the year 1852 7,422/. 12s. 6d. against 7,352/. 18s. for 1851. The latter sum included, however, 5491. 17s. 6d, for insurance of railway servants, which had not been renewed, and which should be deducted in order to estimate the actuaul increase of business from passengers during the past year. The business since the close of the year, bore a fa vorable comparison with the similar period in -1852, shewing an increase of 2041. 4s. 3d. on the seven weeks of the present year over that of last year, exclusive of the term and life policies, the premiums on which are 285/., and warrants the belief, that notwith standing the numerous difficulties the company has had to contend with during its progress, it is now firmly grounded in public estimation, and its sphere of usefulness will continue to be enlarged. The directors had great pleasure in stating that the di rectors of the London and South-Western Railway have consented to the company's tickets being issued at their stations, whereby a new and extended field is opened, from which they have hitherto been excluded. The chairman moved the adoption of the report. The direc tors who retired on this occasion were G. 33. Harrison, Esq. ; J. Clay, Esq., M.P. ; and the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., who being eligible, offered themselves for re election, and on the motion of Mr. Beattie were re elected. The auditors T. C. Bates, Esq., and A. Scrut ton, Esq. also retired from office at this meeting, and were re-elected nem. con. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting then separated. REPRESENTATION OF BLACKBURN.—Mr. Eccles hav ing been unseated, Mr. W. llornby is spoken of con fidently in the Tory interest, and Lord Duncan and Mr. Fielder (son of the late Sir W. Fielden) are mentioned as likely to offer in the Liberal interest. THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The following five members of her Majesty's Government have been elected ex officio members of the Royal Commission for the Ex hibition of 1851, in pursuance of the charter giving it powers to carry out the surplus scheme :—The President of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Trade, and the First Commissioner of Works. Mr. Dis raeli has also been elected a member of the Commission. SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN THE STREET.—Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, the dead body of a gentleman was found lying on the pavement in the Waterloo-road. The deceased a fine-looking man, about 60 years of age, was seen by the police on duty to enter a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, with t wo well-known girls of the town, appearing perfectly sober. They saw no more of him until - two o'clock, when one of the policemen found his body near the end of Tower-street. A stretcher being obtained the body was conveyed to the Tower-street police station. A messenger was im mediately despatched to the divisional surgeon, and his assistant immediately attended, who, upon examining the gentleman, pronounced him to be quite dead. Upon searching him they found in his pockets a bunch of keys, upon the ring of which the following was engraved : —" T. P., 19, Trinity-square, Borough. Reward 10s." This inscription was the means of enabling the police to trace the friends of the deceased gentleman, and from them it was learned that he had left home with a sum of money, a gold watch, and other articles of value in his possession. His watch-guard remained, but the gold watch had disappeared, and the swivel by which it had been attached appeared to have been cut or broken. No money whatever was found upon him, but he still had a gold pencil-case and an eye-glass, and a diamond ring and a plain gold ring remained upon his fingers. He was removed to St. George's Workhouse, in Mint street, Borough, and subsequently information was given to Mr. Payne, the coroner, who ordered Mr. Odling of Guy's Hospital, to make a post-mortem examination and analysis of the contents of the stomach. THE EARLDOM OF OXFORD.—The following is so re markable a coincidence that I am sure many of your readers will be obliged to me for bringing it under your notice, particularly those who are interested in heraldry. The same individual who had been for many years the nearest male heir to Aubrey de Vere, twentieth and last. Earl of Oxford of that family, who died in 1702, has become by the recent death of Alfred, sixth Earl of Ox ford, and Mortimer, the nearest heir male to that race also—which title islikewise extinct. Notes and Queries. CALIFORNIA.—Francisco papers to the 15th of January, possess a painful interest. Famine had done its fell work within the snow-beleagured gorges of the moun tains, and some of the miners had absolutely died of star vation. The destitution was not confined to solitary and scattered instances, but it seems to have effected en tire communities, situated in remote districts, which had been rendered almost inaccessible from a number of causes, the principal of which was the inundation of the roads and the destruction of bridges by the immense floods. Each flood on its arrival at the port of San Fran cisco, presented a bill of mortality that was truly alarming. On the passage of the steam-ship Cortes from Panama to San Francisco, no less than 27 of her passengers were consigned to the rolling waters of the Pacific, all of whom died from dysentery and fever, diseases which were engendered in the transit across the isthmus. On the steamer S. S. Lewis, eleven deaths occurred ; on the steamer Panama, there were eight deaths ; and on the California, five ; besides four on the Winfield Scott, and a number on sailing vessels. THE LORD RECTORSHIP OF MARISCHAL COLLEGE, ABERDEEN.—In consequence of the Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli not having intimated his willingness to attend in person, for the purpose of installation, his name has been withdrawn from the list of nomination, and that of the Earl of Mansfield has been inserted in stead. The Earl of Carlisle is, however, the favourite candidate, and it is expected that he will win the election by a sweeping majority. The election, which the other morningjournals represent to be already over, takes place this day (Tuesday), Ist of March. DREADFUL SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A most painful state of excitement has been produced in Canterbury, in consequence of a man, named George Worsley, a millwright by trade, having made an attempt upon the life of his wife, and then committing suicide by cutting his throat nearly from ear to ear. It appears from what we have been able to learn that the deceased has evinced a slight aberration of mind for some days past, but that he retired to rest with his wife on Sunday evening apparently much better than he had been. Nothing particular occurred until shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning, when the wife of the un fortunate man was awoke by his attempting to cut her throat with a razor ; she immediately cried out, "Oh, dear George, what are you doing of;" and, rushing out of the room, ran to the house of a neighbour of the name of Nott, the blood at the same time streaming profusely from the extensive gash made in her neck. Ass s the i s e t a b n e c a e_ r w o o a m s s a o o d n r e p a d o u c it u rseede,n scene e r n e s , e u n p t e o d n it r s o e c i 7 . e ; d itheng man was lying a corpse surrounded by his own blood, having nearly severed his head from his body. CLITHEROE ELECTION. Mr. GASKELL moved that Mr. Speaker do not issue his warrant to the clerk to the Crown to make out a new writ for the electing of a burgess to serve in this present Parliament for the borough of Clitheroe until Monday, the 11th day of April next. Mr. GOULBURN did not object to the motion, but the house ought to use some discrimination in these postponements. After a few words from Sir R. H. Limas, Sir G. GREY said there could be no objection to the motion, because it was made by the chairman of the committee, but in this and similar cases where there was no reason to suppose that the bribery or corruption had been of that nature as to justify ulterior proceedings, the delay in the issuing of the new writ ought to be as short as possible. The motion was then agreed to. NORWICH ELECTION. Mr. T. DIINbOMBE moved to nominate the select committee on the Norwich election petitions withrawal : Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Rolt, and Mr. Hadfield. The motion was agreed to. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past five o'clock. ►STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, March I.—The receipts of cotton at the American ports in the week ending Feb. 14 were 131,000 bales against 117,000 in the corresponding week of last year ; and the total receipts since Ist September 2,066,000 bales against 1,564,000, leaving an excess of 502,000 bales. The ' total exports to Great Britain are 848,000 bales against 526,000. The excess of receipts will be further increased next week. The continued abundance of the receipts, holding out an en larging prospect of supply, still gave a down Ward bias to prices, in spite of sustaining advices from Liverpool. On the 12th, " middling" was quoted Bie. per lb. at New Orleans, where, however, freight had risen from id. to id. To estimate the total yield at 3,250,000 bags was to be on the moderate side. ROCHDALE. Feb. 28.—We have bad a very good attendince of buyers in the market to-day, and for coarse goods there has been a very good demand at prices much the same as those of the previous week. The wool market has undergone little or no change for some weeks past, either in price or demand. MACCLESFIELD, March I.—We have a smaller amount to note the last week in the sales of silk manufactured goods, owing, no doubt, to the severity of the wea ther ; but preparation is being actively made for the spring trade, and the prospects for the future are con sidered good. Some scarcity of weavers are experienced. Thrown silks are increasing in demand, and this remark applies now to all descriptions, from the best to the most inferior qualities. The market has not been so cleared of stock for many years. HALIFAX, Feb. 26.—Partly owing, perhaps, to the severity of the weather, there was a very slender at tendance, both of merchants and manufacturers, in our piece hall to-day, and but little business was transacted. The yarn market is much the same. The spinners are pretty well employed, but at rates that are not ade quately remunerative. In wools there is no alteration. HUDDERSFIELD, March I.—The market for woollens still continues brisk. There is not as much business through the Cloth-hall at present as was done lately, simply because makers have no goods to sell, being principally engaged in making to order. BIRMINGHAM, March I.—The struggle to obtain a re duction of prices in the iron trade that commenced directly after the last preliminary meeting of the trade is still continued ; but it is generally thought with declining chances of success. Previously to that meeting, M. 10s. per ton for merchant iron had, in a few instances, been realised, and it was thought that 121. might have been obtained ; but after dux deliberation 11/. per ton was decided upon as the limit to which the then dominant tendency to advance should be restricted. THE AUSTRALIAN AND CAPE MAILS, dc., ctc. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Australian steam-ship, Captain Hoseason, R.N.; Commander, which sailed on Thursday last with the mails for the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, &c., m charge of Commander Curtis, R.N., put back on th e fol lowinc, day at 6 p.m. It appears that some repai rs were found' necessary on the arrival of the ship from the Thames, which having been compl e t e d th e vesse l put to sea at half-past five on Thursday afternoon, and there was every prospect of a prosperous voyage, at least as far as the apparent capabilities of the ship were con cerned. She steamed well, making 10 and sometimes 101- knots an hour. About 10! o'clock it began to blow exceedingly fresh from the W.N.W. with a heavy sea. As the ship strained under these combined efforts it was found she was making water fast, which rose, notwith standing all efforts at the pumps, to 4i feet in the engine room, putting out the port-wing fires. At three o'clock, then 60 miles W.S.W. of the Eddystone, and the water still gaining, Captain Hoseason determined to bear up for this port. In wearing she shipped a heavy sea, carry ing away her port life-boat. Sh e re t urne d to the Sound as above stated, at 6 o'clock on Friday afternoon—having then 3 feet water in her hold. Her return was immedi-i ately telegraphed to the Admiralty, and permission ob tained to take her into dock in the Royal-yard at this port, and on the following evening (Saturday) she was taken into the North Dock. Here she has undergone all the ne cessary repairs. The leaks in the hull were but few and slight, and the increase of the water in the engine room was rather the result of inattention than other wise, in suffering the water to rise to the height of the bed-plates of the engine-room before attention was paid to it. Then it proved too late as in the roll of the vessel the water washed the coal bunkers, the small stuff from which soon choked the pumps—hence all the great diffi culties. The water in the cabins, and much of that which found its way into the hold ofjthe vessel, was the result of the bad caulking of the decks, which has now been completely remedied by the men of the establish ment, who did not fail to jeer those of the company who came near them on the state of a vessel the production of a gentlemen so very liberal in his remarks on the efficiency of the mechanics of the Royal Dockyards. There appears to be no slight blame attaching itself somewhere as regards this vessel, for though it has been proved that the leak was not so serious as from appear ances was first thought, yet there does not appear to have been the necessary attention paid to securing the engine bed-plates, the screws of which became stripped at sea, and the plate obliged to be fastened down by an upright timber from the beams to the plate. It is understood she will come out of dock to-morrow, and will no doubt take a trial trip under the inspection of Captain Lowe, R.N., the Superintendent of Mail Pac kets at this port, whose great attention to his arduous and highly responsible duties ensures that the ship and engines will be most fully tested before she will be allowed, to put to sea. Should this report be favourable as it may be anticipated it will be, then the Australian will proceed on her voyage, taking the mails, &c. ; but it is doubtful if she is to be detained longer than to-morrow or the next day, whether the mails will not be transhipped to the Hellespont, Capt. Watts, belonging to the Screw Steam Company now lying in Millbay for the Cape and the Australian Colonies. The Australian has a full cargo, and the total amount of specie shipped is estimated at 300 000/ including 30,000/. on account of the Oriental Barak- nearly 15,000/. o f t h e Chartered Austrahan Land, Mining, Im porting and Refining Company, of the Agra United Service Company —and and . on r sums account on account of Messrs.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LOWESTOFT HARBOUR-TO MASTERS OF VESSELS. Particular attention is directed to the following advice in the book of regulations, page 4:— A red flag will be hoisted on the Look-out Station when the gates are open, and kept flying the time vessels draw ing 10 feet water can enter the inner harbour. Vessels may enter the outer harbour at all times of tide; and masters are advised to carry sufficient sail, and keep their vessels properly under command, to hug the weather pier -head, especially with a southerly wind and ebb tide ; and to carry sufficient after sail, with a northerly wind, to enable them to lull up after passing the pier heads, and fetch into a clear berth to anchor, or to sail through the inner pier beads; by neglecting these necessary precautions, vessels frequently drive to leeward and get damage against the piers.
