Heavy fall of snow in the night; another very heavy prisoners„ of Torres Vedras to the exhibition of pusi lanimity made by him in not intercepting DAs ANTAS ill his recent passage from Vienna to Oporto. DAS ANTAS, on the contrary, has displayed through out a consistency, a valour, a perseverance, and a generosity of action, certain to ensure to him self and his colleagues the admiration of the community. May we not discern in this dis parity of skill the difference of the purpose and the principles of the belligerents ? May we not perceive therein how marvelously a consti tutional Government has become weakened by degenerating into a selfish and arbitrary Government? The future will respond to these inquiries in tones of thunder. The annual motion of Mr. EWART for the abolition of capital punishment came on last evening in the House of Commons. It is a subject which yearly increases in interest. Every civilised nation must be desirous of entertaining the question, whether, con sistently with the repression of the highest crimes of which human nature can be guilty, the infliction of extreme punishment can be safely dispensed with. The greater the advance which any country makes in civilisation the stronger will be the desire to consider the merits of the question ; because, whilst hitherto the general history of states, as well refined as bar barian, proves that they have always felt the necessity of having the power of depriving criminals of life in certain cases, yet is the question not hereby concluded. A strong presumption is herein established in favour of retaining the extreme penalty of the law; hut the precedents of history bind no farther. All laws are framed in accordance with the results of experience ; it is, therefore, of necessity, that laws, to be sound, should be changed conformably with the variations of expe rience. 'Where the antecedents differ, their consequences will exhibit a corresponding difference. A set of political circumstances prevailing in one century, would as naturally vindicate the propriety of a given law at one period, as their non-existence or material modi fication at another, would as effectually dictate the reasonableness of its total or partial abrogation. The main point, then, to be regarded, in attempting to determine whether it would be wise to abolish capital punishment is, not whether the existing law is effectual in preventing, as far as any law can, the criminal atrocities, but whether certain social changes have intervened, in the feelings, morals, and habits of the people, such as would empower us to constitute a secondary punishment of sufficient stringency to be equally preventive in its effect with the capital, to which we still adhere. If this could be made out, public executions should be forthwith done away with. To ascertain, however, whether society has become so far improved as to justify the exten sive change in the law which the instincts of philan thropy, apart from the more sober influences of cool and unimpassioned wisdom, are ready enough to sanction, we must profoundly weigh the fresh data, or new arguments (if any) which are presented to us by those who seek to expunge the sentence of death from our criminal code. Throughout the debate of last evening we look in vain, either to Mr. EIVART, or to those who spoke in favour of his motion, for any novel matter, or con vincing reasonings, to assist the wish which so many must naturally cherish that the punishment of the gallows could with safety be relinquished. We quite agree with the Secretary for the Home De partment, who said, " he was persuaded that pub lic opinion, so far from being in favour of the entire abolition of the punishment, would be greatly shocked and outraged by such a measure." The motion was rejected by a majority of two to one. The resolutions recently adopted by the grand jury of the county of Limerick are deserving of serious and attentive consideration. They emanate from gentlemen having considerable stakes in the country, and although we may not agree with them in the conclusions at which they have arrived, yet, as they are couched in temperate and gentlemanly language, and do full justice to the good intentions of the Go vernment, and speak in terms of lively grati tude for the exertions and sacrifices, both publicly and privately, made by the English people for the relief of their famishing poor, it gives them an additional claim to that cool and dis passionate consideration. The resolutions are of a threefold character; the first series attacking (as usual) the Labour-rate Act, and attributing what are termed the failures in legis lation, not to a want of the best intentions on the part of the Ministry, but to a want of knowledge on their part of the social, moral, and political circum stances of the country, and deducing as a coro:lary that such changes should be made as would place a greater control both in the snaking and administration of the laws in persons conversant therewith, or, in other words, a domestic Legislature and executive. We doubt not that many of the gentlemen who affixed their signatures to the document in question would be much astonished at finding that they had thereby given in their adhesion to the doctrines of repeal. With whatever qualification, however it may be taken, it seems to us extremely like such a declaration, and we doubt not that the parties making it would be considered as qualified for admission into Conciliation Hall on the strength thereof. It is, however, too ridiculous to ascribe such ignorance of Irish affairs to our rulers. The most remote district of Ireland is easily ac cessible at the present day ; and greater facilities for intercourse now exist with that country than was the case even within our own memories with many of the English counties, and far greater than with Scotland. Irish affairs have unfortunately occupied so prominent a position for many years past, that it would be utterly impossible for any person de sirous of distinguishing himself in the House, or of becoming an aspirant for office, to do so without making himself fully acquainted with the subject. The attention of the chief members of the Cabinet has for many months past been almost exclusively devoted to the consideration of measures relating to Ireland, and little business of any other description h as as yet been transacted in either branch of the Legislature. We 'find that the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland is an Irish nobleman, a resi dent landlord in that country, that several Irishmen are members of the Cabinet, besides many others holding important offices in the Ministry; it is there fore hard to say that the Government are not fully conversant with the peculiarities of the social condition of Ireland, as much so as if it was entrusted solely to Irishmen, and conducted in the sister kingdom. The objections to the Labour-rate Act are now so hacknied, and their fallacy and injus tice have been so often exposed in our columns, that it is almost unnecessary again to revert to them. We may, however, shurtly state that it was its abuse that led to its failure. Had it been carried into exe cution in the spirit in which it was conceived and sanctioned, it would have been found a most valu able auxiliary, but the mischief was occasioned by seeking to make it the sole means of support of the people, and casting on it the entire burden of their maintenance. The second series of resolutions are condemnatory of the larger electoral divisions as the area of taxation, and urge the propriety of giving the tenants compensation for permanent improvements on fair and equitable terms; and they propose a limita tion of the rates beyond which no division should be taxed for its own poor, any surplus to be defrayed from a national rate leviable on every description of property, real or personal. The third declares that the affliction should be looked on as a national calamity, and the burden borne by all interests of the nation. We may remind the gentlemen who have adopted these resolutions that the Legislature has already decided that one-half of the expenditure shall be defrayed by the Imperial Exchequer, without any prospect of return from Irish resources, and that payment of the remaining moiety is to be accepted by easy instalments from the persons whose proper ties are prima facie liable, and that, therefore, there is no just ground for the complaints they have uttered. Our space this day prevents us from giving that consideration to the suggestions contained in the second series of which they aze deserving, and which we shall devote to them on a future occasion. Munich, it appears, has been the scene of great dis orders. A letter from that city, dated March 3, says— " The University, from which the Jesuit party had suc ceeded in expelling all the professors suspected of liberalism, and in replacing them by others devoted to themselves, has been particularly forward in loudly manifesting 4;3 sympa ties with the late Ministry. The professors held an ex traordinary meeting, at which they deliberated for a long time, whether they should make a demonstration ht favout of M. D'Abel, rind express to him their regrets. The majority decided that. this demonstration should not be made. The Government, 'having been informed that four professors had on this occasion shown a strong spirit of hostility to the King, has 'deprived them of their professorships. One of them, M. 'Lasseaux, professor of theology, put up a noti c e in the int. zior of the University that he had stopped his course of 'lectures, as he was not allowed any longer to re ceive students, and bidding the students adieu. This pro duced a :great degree of agitation. A. considerable number of students, who were joined in the way by some of the common people, went to the ex-professor's h ou s e , an d saluted him wit h cries of ' Long live Lasseaux.' This was followed by some cries of ' Lola Montes,' and the crowd went to that celebrated lady's house and broke the windows. Upwards of six thousand persons were at ono time assembled before her house, who gave vent to seditious and hostile cries of the most serious kind. The streets being covered with ice, the populace had plenty of materials to break windows with. The troops were called out, but were not able to suppress the disorder, which continued for a great portion of the night. Several other houses were damaged, and even the palace was not spared, several of the windows having been. broken. The following day, the 2d of March, the crowds assembled in different parts of the town uttering seditious cries. The Government took energetic measures. The troops were sent to the barracks, and the municipal guard was ca ll e d out . The town, by te last accounts, was quiet. The King, who had intended to appoint M D'Abel, President of the Re gency of Passau, has now determined to send him as ambas sador to the Hague, and has ordered him to repair to his post without delay.' We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the proposition of M. FOULD was brought to a conclusion that day, and the proposition itself rejected. In the course of the discussion the Finance Minister, M.LACAVE LAPLANGE, repeated the assurances which he had pre viously given that no loan would be required, and that the Treasury was in no difficulty whatever. The dis cussion on the proposition of M. DUVERGIER DL HAU &ANNE, on the subject of electoral reform, is fixed for the 22d March. The Prince DE JOINYILLB left Paris fur Toulon on Sunday. M. BARBET DE Jour, late French Consul at the Mauritius, whose absurd vagaries there occupied the public attention for a few days a short time since, has been appointed Consul at Larnaca, in the island of Cyprus-a post of inferior rank to the one he formerly occupied. The Bordeaux mail arrived on Monday morning in Paris, but without bringing the Madrid mail. As there was nothing in the state of the weather to account for its Ron-arrival, all sorts of rumours were in circulation in Paris on the subject of Spanish affairs. One rumour was to the effect that there had been a simultaneous Carlist rising in the Basque provinces and in Catalonia; that the Carlists had taken possession of several towns, from which they had expelled the public authorities, and that all communication between Madrid and Paris was cut off. Certain it is that the authorities in the Basque provinces have been for some time past greatly alarmed, as is evident from the fact, that the authorities of Gui puscoa have petitioned to be allowed to remove the Government from the open town of Guipuscoa, the capi tal of the province, to the fortress of St. Sebastian. In the meantime the Palace of Madrid is the scene of the greatest disorders. So disgusted is the QUEEN with her husband, that she intends, it is said, to apply to the POPS for a divorce. All personal communication between them has long since ceased, and they now seldom see each other. Such are the miserable effects of the selfishness of the KING of the FRErCH. What cares he for the happiness of the unfortunate young Queen of SPAIN ? The sooner she falls a victim to these constant excitements the better will it be for his views. It was not without an object that Don FRAN CISCO D'ASSIS was preferred by M. GUIZOT to Don ENRIQUE ; and yet M. Guizor is lauded to the skies as the pink of decency and morality. Morality has its Tartuffes as well as religion.

AMERICAN NEWS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUMULT NIGHT. The papers by the Henry Clay, from New York, ex tending to the 10th ult., were landed this evening just as the last train was starting. We have, therefore, five days later news to communicate, but we cannot Say that there is any thing of importance in the papers now come to hand. The commercial advices do not note any'serious change in the price of bread-scuffs. Cotton was in steady, but quiet demand, and the provision trade was reported as very firm. We have nothing new from Mexico. No battle or battles had been fought, and the latest New York papers would seem to lead us to expect that ere long Mexico will sue, in the language of earnest entreaty, for peace. A 1)r. Holland had arrived at Washington on the Bth ult., with dispatches from the army or the United States in Mexico. He left General Wool's camp on the Bth of January, but it was said he did not bring any intelli gence of an important character. The proceedings in bongress were not very important; in fact, nothing that could be considered interesting to European readers had taken place. The dispute 'with the Brazilian Government, already noticed, waslsatisfac torilY adjusted. Brother Jonathan, who, although no torious for his selfishness, seemed to be stirring himself up with the view of mitigating the " Irish famine.' One of the New York papers suggests that a ship should be sent out with clothes and provisions, each citizen contributing what he could to such a great and glorious cause; and after her two or three others. The idea is good, and we hope will be acted upon, as there is room for all that can be done to mitigate the sufferings now endured by that unfortunate country. With respect to the commercial accounts from America by this r ris,al there does not se em any o f an important character,. ITo material a l terat i on had taken place in the pric e of wheat, flour, o r Indian corn, &c., on the date of our last ' advices. a The latest state of the New York markets are thus reported:— THE MARKET, FEW 8, 2 1 ,4 p.m. Cotton—Sales 900 bales, prices same as Saturday. Flour, no sales solar. Corn, Jersey white brought 96c. Oil, 3,000 galls English linseed sold at 72 1.2 c; flax seed has been sold at 10,62 1-2, rough. The sale of a cargo of Rio coffee on Saturday, was at 7 3. 8 cts lb. Provisions no change thusfar. Ashes and whisky as last week. No alteration in freights.

Sales 170 tons mixed Scotch Newcastle coal, via St. John's, New Brunswick, at $4,87 1-2 chal. --- BOROUGH OF WALSALL. (FROM ♦ CaiiRiIIPONDENT.) On the next dissolution this borough promises to afford a sort of "Lord Lincoln " contest on a small scAle. Mr. Robert Scott, the present representative, has announced his intention of retiring at the close of this present session, and the lion. E. R. Littleton, eldest son of LOrd Hatherton, has offered himself, without making any declaration of political opinions, on the strength of his father's merits and influ ence. A numerous section of elf ctors, both Libe ral and Conservatives, see in this volunteer on the part of Mr. Littleton an attempt to turn Walsall into a pocket borough, a sort of appendage to Teddesly Park. The free-trade party are not pleased with Mr. Littleton, in consequence of his having refused to attend a free-trade dinner, given in the summer, at which the present Member presided, on the ground of " the unnecessary violence of Cobden and Bright," an expression which, coupled with the displeasure loudly expressed among his neighbours by Lord Hatherton at Lord John Russell's Edinburgh letter, leads the electors to imagine that in the silent, reserved, aristocratic Mr. Littleton they would be electing anything but a fit representative for a manufacturing to,in. A " Walsall Independent Eke toral Association" has be( n formed for the express purpose of opposing that gentleman, and a requisition is in course of signature, inviting Mr. Charles Forster, junior, son of the banker of that name, who represented the borough in the two first Parliaments after the Reform Bill, to allow him self to be put in nomination. There is little doubt but that Mr. Forster, as a liberal and a consistent free trader, will consent, and as he is a •' Walsall man" of great personal popularity, energetic, and a good speaker, he will have excellent prospects of sucess. The constituency is about 900; the majority being what are termed leather aprons—a party which has on two occasions beaten the broad cloth of the town; on the last occasion, returning Mr. Scott at a:few days , notice by a considerable majority over the head of Mr. Gladstone, who bad all the advantages of wealth, influ ence, and success at the previous election. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 1,200 bales. The market was dull, and in prices there was no alteration.—Railway Shares were neglected. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., went off very flatly, and prices were considered a shade lower. During the sale, the Count de Montemolin entered, and seemed much interested by the method of dis posing of the property. Favourable advices have come to hand from Jamaica, Barbadoes, and other of the principal West India colonies, as to the state of the crops and the progress in sugar mak ing, but the competition. to which the planters are now open still excited complaints. It is to be hoped it will have the far better effect of inducing renewed energy, and the ap plication of improved methods of` cultivation. There is some complaint of irregularity in the arrivals of the steamers at Barbadoes, bat the weather seems to have been the principal cause of this. From Mexico the intelligence to band is most dishearten ing. The army of Santa Anna was sorely in want of supplies, and there was no prospect of funds being raised to prosecute, with anything like success, the contest with the Americans, who were steadily making their way. The steamer has a valuable bullion freight from Vera Cruz and Tampico, but al. on private account. The accounts from Paris are more cheerful, but here there is a pressure for money, and discounts are ranging higher. From 4 1 ,4 to 5 per cent. is now the charge upon first-rate paper, and the intention of the Bank of England not to make loans upon stock for longer periods than a fortnight, during the closing of the transfer books. tightens the marker. Consols have •been 89% % for present transfer, and 89% for time. Consuls Scrip have been down to % discount, and is now about par. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have realised 91 to 90i. Bank Stock has fallen to 2031 and 202. Exchequer-bills have been at ss. to Is. premium. There have been a good many sales, and the market is very flat. The Foreign "Funds are quite neglected.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. - A moderate quantity of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week; yet the number of samples of that grain on offer to-day was small. About 500 quarters of red were taken for shipment to France, at very tun prices. In white qualities a steady business was doing at the late im provement in value. Foreign Wheat was in good request on French account, and the trade must be considered firm at Monday's advanced rates. Both Barley and Malt were ex ceedingly dull in sale, at barely stationary prices. The sup ply of Foreign Oats being large, the sale for lan kinds was heavy, but we can notice no further depression in value. Beans and Peas very dull; but Flour and Indian Corn were quite as dear.

The de ceased Was painting a house in Dover-street, Piccadilly, when the scaffold on which he was standing gave way, a n d he fell, fracturing his thigh. An inflammation, which at tacked his lungs followed, and terminated fatally. The de ceased had drank ardent spirits until the last six months, but during the latter period was a teetotaller. Verdict, ‘‘ Ac.. ciderital death." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. , . The SPEAKIR took the Chair at T we l ve o clock. EDINBURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY. Mr. 'F., MAULE moved the second reading of the Edin burgh and' Perth Railway Bill, and said that the Scotch people were deeply interested in the progress of it. Mr. E. ELLICE objected to the second reading of the Bill, as the parties who were the promoters 'of . it, sought for the ronction of Parliament on plans and certificates, which were the property of others—namely, of a former company, now dissolved. There were a great number of other irregularities, .and the House would be sanctioning a very dangerous prin ciple if they agreed to the second reading of the Bill. Mr. LOCH said that the Bill was of great public import ance, and that all the landholders with but one exception were in favour of the undertaking; nor was it true that the new company had possessed themselves of the property of 'others; for it was they who had paid all the expenses of the undertaking, and they had entered into a regular agreement with the formet proprietors, sothat there was not even a tech nical difficulty in the way of a second reading. Mr. FOX MAULE said that the whole question turned on the point, whether the plans and sections were the pro perty of the new company or not. If any party came and claimed them beside the company, then there 'would be a case for extreme jealousy i 11 the part of the House, but such was not tbe case ; the promoters were the only claimants, and it appeared that they were even those who paid for all the sections and surveys which had been _made. This Bill was one of great national importance. They had thousands of labourers out of work and starving, and it would be a serious respOnsibility on the House to reject a measure which would give them employment,. upon a mere technical objection. . Mr. GREENE hoped. that the House would not set the bad precedent of refusing the second reading of this Bill. He thought that if the oljections urged were to be maintained the House would do better to postpone the second reading of the Bill, and refer the objection to the Standing Orders Committee. Mr. F. MAULE had no objection to such a course teing adopted, but he' hoped the delay consequent upon it would not afterwards be allowed to prejudice the Bill. Mr. STRUTT seconded the motion of the Hon. Member for Lancaster. There was a considerable difference of opi nion upon this matter, and the Bill, ought to be referred as the Hon. Member had proposed, to the Standing Orders Committee. That House was not a tribunal which should adjudicate upon this matter. Mr. ELLICE then withdrew the amendment. on the understanding that this course should be adopted. The second reading of the Bill was then postponed until this day week. The Great Northern Railway Bill (deviations between Gaiusborough and Doncaster) was read a second time and ordered to be committed ; as also the deviation between Peterborough; Boston, and Gainsbotough. The Waterworks Clauses Bill was read a third time and passed. The Markets and Fairs Clauses Bill, Commissioners' Clauses Bill, and the Gas Works Clauses Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. The Wexford and Valencia Railway Bill was read a second time and ordered to bd committed. HARBOUR DOCKS AND PIERS. • Mr. WARD then brought in a Bill for consolidating in one Act the provisions usually contained in Acts authorizing the making and approving of harbour docks and piers. The Bib was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. POOR. RATES. The O'CONOR DON presented a petition, numerously signed by the inhabitants of Newcross in Wexford, praying for an equalization of the poor -rate system. IRISH POOR-LAWS. Mr. HAMILTON presented a petition from several Irish landowners, praying that in any poor-law for Ireland the workhouse test should be employed. NATIONAL FAST. Mr. ROUND presented a petition from a place in Ireland, whose name we could not learn, praying for a national fast ; also a petition in favour of the Poor Removal Act. CLOSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES.

WATER AT LONDON-tsttint4k; Tufo DAY. Morning .. 44 minutes after 6. Evening .. 8 minutes after 7. u• telling Ant LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1847. The Lords met at Five. A short, but somewhat sharp conversation took place between the Earl of Luck/4, Lord Bnouoliam, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, on the subject of the attack made by Lord BROUGHAM on a former evening on the Irish landlords, which ended by Lord Baouctu.tx moving for returns of the names of the plaintiffs and defendants in all processes for rent due in November, 1846, which were brought on for trial on the 11th January last, at Ballina, in the county of Mayo. The motion was agreed to, and their Lordships ad , journed. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that on the 23d of March he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act making Parliament septennial. Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish the punishment of death. Dr. BowalNa seconded the motion. A debate ensued, in the course of which the House was addressed by Sir G. GREY, Mr. HUME, Sir H. IN GLIS and Mr. BROTHERTON, when the House divided the numbers being— For the motion 4l Against it Majority —4o Mr. MILNER GIBESON obtained leave to bring in a Bil: for the collection of agricultural statistics. The other orders being disposed of, the House ad. journed at a Quarter to Eight o'clock. Winter has so far elapsed without the settlement of the intestine differences of Portugal. What is to be the ultimate condition of that portion of the Pe ninsula—whether it is to receive a liberal constitution, under the sovereignty of Dom MIGUEL, or to be or ganized as a republic, or to be tranquillised by the military supporters of MARIA DA GLORlA—still re mains very questionable. Nor are the leaders of either of the belligerent parties taking any very active measures for the termination of this important and disastrous quarrel. One delay after another occurs, originating at one moment in the Royalist Cabinet and at another in the Junta of Oporto, until the war is protracted to an almost hopeless length. So much ingenuity is lavished upon this procrasti nation that there would absolutely seem to be a ge neral anxiety to extend the embarrassments of the nation for certain individual advantages. The suppo sition is most irresistible; but from the enormity of the turpitude which it would imply we are loath to place any serious weight upon those first impressions. We would prefer pinning our belief down to the almost incredible notion that these delays have arisen from the incapacity of some or all of the antagonistic chieftains ; and we term that notion "almost incredible," because it would indicate a weakness very nearly amounting to imbecility in those leaders. Either there is knavery in the cha racter of SALDANHA, or he is showing himself alto gether incompetent to undertake the championship of an inexperienced SOVEREIGN. His conduct is not explicable on any other consideration. The policy of DAs ANTAS is immeasurably more rational ; there is a certain compactnesss and unity in the course pur sued by that insurgent commander which we can comprehend and appreciate. There is a progression and an accumulative energy in his movements which promise excellently for his success, and, aided by popular enthusiasts, there is little doubt but that his weapons of offence and defence ' must prove most formidable, and possibly most de structive to his less able or less ingenuous opponent. While Marshal SALDANHA is dallying with time in the seclusion of Oliviera de Azemcis and of Vendas Novas, it would appear that his active antagonists in Oporto are mustering all the forces of the aroused population and of the Miguelites upon one centre and under one guidance. By this means a superior army to that of SALDANHA, both in nu merical power and general discipline, will be opposed to the embarrassed and conflicting councils of the royalists. The result of this proportion, if not re versed by some extraneous and unforeseen circum stances, must inevitably lead to the triumph of the people over the QUEEN ; and this consequence, we maintain, will, in the event of its coming to pass, be attributable, first, to the overwhelming hostility of the revolted populace; and, secondly, to the dilatory system adopted by the Duke DE SALDANHA. Whatever may be the upshot of the pending struggle, it will be unparalleled in the records of Peninsular revolutions, seeing that the hostile armies were per mitted to fight ii out together without the ped dling or ambitious intervention of foreign soldiers. This we cannot but regard as an indication of the progress made in the popular ideas regarding the necessity of alliance in battle. It is a significant sign of the disinclination of modern Governments to rush into every quarrel and complicate thereby still further the complications of the parties originally en gaged. " Red battle stamps his foot," but nations now-a•days do not " feel the shock" further than by sympathy. But a few years since, and Europe would have been plunged into war for lesser crimes than the purloining of an Infanta, or the occupation of Cracow. Aided by experience, and improved judgment, and a widened humanity, we are less disposed to partake in the miseries of every pugnacious principality. We are acquiring the practical philosophy of contenting ourselves with the ills imposed upon us by PROVIDENCE, and of sedu lously avoiding any unnecessary participation in the sufferings peculiar to others. In this it is impossible to deny that there is considerable wisdom and no very inconsiderable benevolence; for while we are relieving ourselves from the woes consequent upon an engagement in foreign conflicts, we are manifestly abstaining from a proceeding which is calculated so much to lengthen the existence and multiply the evils of the strife. Hence we are disposed to regard with peculiar satisfaction the neutral behaviour of the Russell Administration, from the very first outbreak of the present insurrection in Portugal. To the negoaunteiteosenstpetoiotspeal conclusion. is left the right of bri ng i ng th e reposes the giftn the victory handse ; of an t d hePortu- c ymen from accord ing as that people are i nfluenced by the contending powers will th at boon be awarded. Hitherto SALDANHA has do ne nothing but cal culated to estrange hi s what is faliow_untr his banners, from the cruelties P rac tised upon the MSNINI POOR REMOVAL ACT. Colonel WOOD presented a petition from the county of Middlesex against the Fool. Removal Act. LAW OF MARRIAGE. Sir GEORGE GREY presented petitions from Devenport against the law of marriage within the prohibited degrees. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. C. HOWARD presented a petition from Dover against the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act. IRISH POOR-LAW. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition in favour of a more efficient poor-law for Ireland. COTTON AND WOOLLEN TRADE. Mr. FINCH moved for certain returns connected with the woollen and cotton manufactures for several past years. Agreed to. ARREST FOR DEBT (IRELAND) BILL. Sir W. BARRON moved the second reading of this Bill. In doing so, he said, he did not think there would be any ob jection to its 'principle, which was to assimilate the law of Ireland, with regard to debts under 201., to the English law, as recently amended. If it were necessary to change the law in this country, it was still mote necessary to do so in Ireland, which was much the poorer country. Espe cially was the measure now required, considering the deplorable state of the country. There were a great number of poor people in Ireland who could not pay their small debts, such as those who were ander the conacre system, owing from 40s. to 151. or 20!. ; yet these parties could at any tune-be arrested and imprisoned for the non-payment of these sums. It was to furnish a remedy that this Bill was prepared. At present all Le wanted the House to do was to affirm the principle, to commit the Bill pro fornici, and then to leave it to the consideration of a Committee up stairs, so that its details might be fully matured. He c.aimed no pater nity to the Bill, as the Lord-Lieutenant, and many of the most influential parties in Ireland were favourable to the principle. He believed also that the highest law authorities in Ireland looked upon the measure favourably. He trusted, therefore, that the House would, with this explanation, agree to the second reading of the Bill. Mr. MONALIAN (Solicitor-General for Ireland), said that perhaps the House would pardon him if he shortly stated the reasons why he could not assent to the second leading of the Bill brought in by the' lion. Member for Watertord. The object of the Bill was this—by one short clause at once to abolish arrestment for debts where the amount did not exceed 20/. Hon. Members unacquainted with the social condition of Ireland could not conceive the number of per sons who were indebted in sums not exceeding 20/. It would be at once seen, then, that a Bill of this kind would, interfere in no ordinary degree with the rights of property in the country. He did not mean to say that measures should not be introduced into Parliament to ameliorate the evils under which the petty debtors in Ireland laboured ; but it' would be utterly impos sible that the House could concede a Bill of this description, unless facilities were given to enable the bond fide creditor to recover the amount of his debt from such property of any description as the debtor might be possessed of. :Co one could entertain a greater sympathy for those bond fide debtors who had contracted debts, and were, from adverse circum stances, unable to pay ; but he had no symp a thy w i t h th ose men who, possessed of property, fraudulently endeavoured to defraud the honest creditor. The House would excuse him, if, so lately introduced into that House, he did not so cleverly express himself as he could desire—(dear, hear) — but he had not had time to give the subject that con sideration which he should have wished, and his obser= vations must be necessarily brief upon it. A similar Act to that now brought forward by the Honourable Bart. was passed in England in the 7th and Bth of the reign of Victoria, and the country evidently felt that the pro vieions of that Act were in some degree imprudent, because in the very next session of Parliament consider s able safeguards were granted, to creditors, which safeguards could not be, under existing circumstances, at present extended to Ireland. England had a vast number of smaller courts and district judges, who could take cognisance of these matters—he me an t th e Commis sioners of Bankruptcy throughout the country, the local judges, &c.; and provisions were introduced in the Small Debts Act for England empowering the bringing of debtors before these inferior courts, in order that the property of such persons might be made avail able for the payment of their debts. But they had no such judges in Ireland, and although he was most anxious to lessen the costs of process in the recovery of small debts, he at the same time felt that any further enact ments of the kind proposed by the Honourable Member for Waterford would be only multiplying confusion, of which there was too much already. The ques tion was one not to be lightly considered. There were many difficulties in the way of a proper arrangement— there were difficulties in ascertaining the most fitting tribunal for the giving the necessary protection. which creditors would require if a Bill of this kind were passed. The subject, he might inform the House, was at that time under his consideration, and h e hoped to be able soon to recommend to her Majesty's Go vernment a measure for their adoption. .He trusted that., under these cireunistances, the House would leave the matter with him, and he telt himself, in the mean time, compelled. to oppose the second reading of the Bill. Mr. SHAW said that after the very clear and admirable statement of the Hon. Member, he would not tresspass on the patience of the House. However desirable it might be to assimilate the law of arrest in Ireland to the law as it existed in England, he was of opinion that there were faults in. the latter which were of great magnitude. True, there were circumstapces which counteracted those evils in Eng land, and which„they would not possess in Ireland. He was satisfied to leave the matter in the hands of the Learned So licitor-General. [LEFT SITTING.] ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Lord LANGD• L!is The Court was occupied this morning in a suit, the details of which would be anything but important to the public. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) ( Before the VicE-Citasreata.ott of ENGLAND.) THE PROVRIUTORS OF THE PATENTS JOURNAL V. NEWTON AND OTHERS. Mr. Stuart, Q.C., and Mr. Renshaw, appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Elderton, for the de • fendants. This was a suit for an injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing t he drawings and the traidation ofan article on the protection for passengers by railway front injury. The plain tiff stated that the document was originally written in French, and for the use of the members of the C 'anther of Deputies in France only. The proprietors of the Patents Journal had caused a translation of this document to be made, together with illustrations, in the way of engravings, from drawings. These had been copied by the defendants, and the question arose as to whether any public documents were in titled to copyright ; as, if they were not, there Was no ground for suing for the injunction now sought. There was also a ground of defence, inasmuch as there had not been time to make a sufficient reply. On the part of the plaintiffs, it was contended that sufficient notice hat. been given of their proceeding, and that the defendant ought consequently to have been ready. Mr. Renshaw, on behalf of the pl.tintiffs, further contended, that although it was allowed that no copyright could subsist in public documents, which were meant for the use of all the members of the state, vet that, according to the decision of Lord Eldon in several cases, there was a copyright in an original translation. Time was given for reply. There were some other cases, but this was the only one of • any public importance. AMERICAN RICE.—A vessel just arrived in the Surrey Canal, from Charleston. United States of America, has brought toe large quantity of 25,500 bushels of paddy, or rice in the husk. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Mary Brian was indicted for stealing four chairs and seve ral other articles, the property of iirn. Bright. The prisoner formed an intimacy with the prosecutor! whose mother supplied them with a quantity of furniture, ana they resided in her (the mother's) house.

A , The prisoner in both cases was undefended, and Mr. Pit with the assent of several of his learned brethren beside ' l ' l said he would undertake the prisoner's defence, and Eldred' the jury.
