GOVERNMENT MEASURES FOR IRELAND. 11r. ROEBUCK gave notice that on Tuesday,next, it was his intention to ask a question-of the Noble-Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, as to the probable cost of carrying out the measures proposed by her Majesty's Government for the relief of the dis : tress at present existing in Ireland. TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND). Mr. SIIARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that on ,an early day ha would move for some returns respecting the improvement of the existing relations between land lord!arviteTtant; and also with reference to the present ,system of the tenure,of land in that country. PUBLIC REVENUE. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that, in a fortnight, it was his intention to submit a proposition to the House, having for its object the better security of the public revenue and improving the mode of keeping the public accounts. • ' • COVONY OF HONG-KONG. TO_ l l' WON. MEMBER also moved for a return of the orders, ordinances, or other official documents which have be" gn i the British authorities in China for regu bar- tliersq l Also, accounts of the receipt s and distrursecaent4 of the colony of Hong-Kong (in conti nuation of the last Paxliamentary returns), made up to the latest period at which they can he furnished. The motion was agreed to. THE NAVY. 4 Sir C. NAPIER wHied to ask the question of t 4 Secretary of the Admiralty of which he had given notice yesterday. He saw by the newspapers that there were seven or eight sail of the line at Lisbon doing nothing, and two sail of the line elsewhere; he wishei - to knoti , whether these ship were to be employed in carrying corn, or upon any other important service? Mr. WARD said that the question rather affected the Government personally than the Admiralty, for nb application whatever had been made to the Admiralty'; but he might state, on behalf of the Government, that, as 3,000 or 4,000 tons of shipping had been appropriated to the purpose of carrying corn, there was no necessity or the alteration of the law in this instance. CONVICTS FOR TRANSPORTATION. Mr. WANKES wished to ask the two questions of which he had given notice. He had learned that letters had been issued from the Home-offieQ to the magistrates at quarter sessions in England and Wales, requiring them to provide for the convicts who had been trans ported. The question he wished to ask was, whether the reasons for this proceeding would he laid before the House. Sir G, GREY said that such If tters had been issued, and he hoped shortly to lay the whole of the pro- , eeedings on the table of the House respecting them. In consequence of the; resolution to refrain from transporting - convicts to Van Dientan's Land, it had been found necessary to use all the spare accommodation of the gaols in this country, and he intended at an early period to introduce a Bill on the subject. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. Mr. GEO. BANKS; wished to ask the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department a question with relation to the disposal of juvenile offenders. He wished to ask if the Government had formed any plan for amending the mode of conducting the proceedings with regard to juvenile offenders, as w ll previous to the time of the trial as afterwards, and whether they had taken any measure for awarding punishment, in the case of conviction, suited to their crimes, and net liable to influence their moral condition prejudicially ? Sir G. GREY said he did not know if he understood the question put by his Hon. Friend to relate to sum mary convictions, or whether his suggestion was made , solely with regard to them. Mr. BANK ES.—No; I spoke generally. Sir G. GREY sad on that subject he had no definite plans to propose to the House. %Vith reference to the disposal of juvenile offenders prior to conviction or impri sonment, the information required by the lion. Member would be given in the papers which he proposed shortly to lay on the table of the House. THE GLASS 'FFtADE. Mr. MUNTZ, in pursuance of notice given, moved for a return of the amount of foreign ;lags annually im ported and exported into and from the ports of England. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. MILES said, that seeing the Right Hon. Gentle man the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place, he wished to ask a question relative to the Bill for allowing sugar to be used in distilleries. An Hon. Gentleman the other night had moved for a Select Committee to inkuire into the probable effect of the new Sugar Bill on the revenue of the country. He wished to ask if the Go vernment intended to allow that Committee? He (Mr. Miles) had asked the Right Hon. Gentleman privately, that morning, a question relative to the equalization of the rum duties; he wished now to know if a Select Com mittee would sit upon that Bill after the second reading, following the precedent established relative to the Bill proposed in reference to bonded corn? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was very indistinctly heard, said that he had communi cated with his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Go vernment, and he did not think it expedient to appoint a Committee, as it would cause unnecessary delay, although he did not attribute any such motive to his Hon. Friend. He would undertake to lay upon the table of the House on Thursday next a report from the Board of Excise relative to the use of sugar, malt, and molasses. IRISH DISTRESS. Mr. P. SCROPE said that there was one point which he did not quite understand in the statement of the Noble Lord, it was relative to the system for increased relief for the poor of Ireland. Ile wished to know whether there was any sfetwity that effectual relief should be afforded, or whether the board of guardians would be at liberty to set the law at nought, as was the case with the Castlebar board at the present moment, and to refuse relief to the destitute. Ilis question was, whether there was a right to enforce relief in all cases of destitution ? His second question was, whether this 1 ”v was to be accompanied with any Act for the preven tion of mendicancy in Ireland ?—(Hear, hear.) yasuesttoton a Lord JO HN RUSSELL—With regard to t h e fi rst proposed by th e li on .

ABOLITION OF POUNDAGE ON CHELSEA PENSIONERS. Mr. FOX MAULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish poundage on Chelsea pensioners. Thes e pen sions had been granted for long service in the army, an d for wounds incurred in the service of the country, and had begun to be a charge on the revenue 100 years ago. Under the old system, a long time intervened before the pensioner could withdraw anything in reward of his past services, and the result was, he found at his elbow nume rous money-lenders ready to take advantage of his position. Government, therefore, felt it to be absolutely necessary to interfere and check the abuse. After that interference the pensioner wn paid six months in advance, but a charge of 51. per cent. was made OA the amount. In the navy, there was no charge made, but this was a matter not of so much im portance, though, nevertheless, the law was applied to the navy. The AttelltiOU of She CieTernment had beela called OK ie * IP 'it c,. TILE SUN, to the subject at the close of the last session, but, in conse quence of their having so recently come into office, they were not able to give the subject that attention which it would require. The Government had since taken the subject into their consideration, and the result of their deliberations had been to recommend to the House to abolish the charges at once and for ever. Besides, the unequal mode in which the charges were made, it was also more than usually necessary to abolish those charges when it was considered the high prices of provisions at the present time ; and although those pensions appeared to be of a small amount to Hon. 111 embers, still it was something considerable to the pensioners theraselves.—(Hear, hear.) Captain LAYARD would belie his feelings if he did not give expression to his satisfaction now that the Go vernment had taken the subject into their consideration and resolved that the gallant and, in most cases, worn out warriors of this country should receive the full re ward of their toil, and he was glad that the promise made to him by the Government at the latter end of the last session had been fulfilled. Sir DE LACY EVANS—It had been said that this proposal was just and fair. He did not know whether it was just and fair, but he was quite sure that the pro ceedings of the former Governments was a shameful violation of the rights of these poor old veterans. At the same time he was highly delighted that the Government had now taken this matter into consideration. Sir IL DOUGLAS also expressed his high satisfac tion at this movement on the part of the Government. TEN HOURS' BILL. Mr. FIELDEN presented several petitions in favour of this Bill, which were ordered to lie on the table. The HON. MEMBER then rose to move for leave to bring in his Bill for reducing the labour in factories to ten hours a day. The llon. Member went on to quote a number of authorities, medical and otherwise, in proof of the injurious effects of the present factory system, 1 and the necessity of a change. We could only gather the purport of the speech from an occasional word or 1 two, but the details of the Hon. Gentleman's address were perfectly inaudible in the gallery. Sir GEORGE GREY said the Bill, which was at present sought to be introduced, and of which the Hon. Member had obligingly furnished him with a draft, was nearly the same as that which was intro duced last session by Lord Ashley, still there were some additional causes which would deserve the consideration of the House. The first of these re ferred to the case of young persons, from the ages of thirteen to twenty, and it was proposed to reduce their hours of labour from 12 to 11. The second clause pro posed to enact a maximum of 10 hours in certain cases, and the third was for the purpose of placing some wholesome restriction on the labour of young persons. It was his intention to assent to the introduction of the Bill without discussion, which might be taken on the principle of the Bill in an after stage. He thought it right to guard himself against the supposition that he coincided in the inferences which the Honourable Member for Oldham drew from a document which had been published in September last, and which was well svertlis — " I, 4 „ells a 4t,use..,Tee Honourable NfrEsebaselligefee--Traileathelocheszeip t t great increase of mortality had occurred in the_ districts. He did not think that the retu n mortality from those districts showed a greater amount of deaths than what occurred in Liver pool and other large cities where few or no manu factories were carried on. He should not, however, detain the House, as an after opportunity would be given for discussing the question. Mr. TRELAWNEY, while he admitted the evil which existed, still he did not think it right not to protest against a measure which would militate so much against the interests of commerce without being advantageous to any class. If they legislate for those employed in factories, they should also take into consideration the hundred thousand female servants of London, who were most se verely used by their masters and mistresses. Thellon.Mem ber beside him said they had not petitioned,but he (Mr. Trelawny) considered that it was the duty of that House to remedy a grievance whether it was petitioned against or not, He thought that the adoption of the present measnre would lead to a reduction of the rate of wages; persons employed in factories would be thrown out ofemployment and thereby increase the amount of competition in the other branches of labour. In his opinion the principles of non-interference were those which should be adopted by the State, and the adoption of any other principle would lead only to great harm and inextricable confusion They were now undoing their work. They were again raising the barriers which had been broken down. He had warned the House of this last session, but his words had been wasted. He should, however, oppose this motion, and trusted the House would reject the measure. At least to a certainty he should divide the house upon it. Mr. FERRAN]) said, that year after year the work ing people had come to that House to beg for protection Lc: their wives and children. It was said that this should be done to prevent the strike, but he would tell the House that the working men of is ,olintry came to the House, and on th e ir b ea d e d 'knees begged for 'this protection of their wives and daughters. And if the Ilon. Member had an objection to a strike, working men desired to obtain this pro teption without a strike. He was glad to see that this enetistere was at last likely to receive something like itip - Porlf fitntrike Government. At least, so he learm , d from the streeclP-oethe Hob: Member for Sheffield (Mr. Ward) delivered at I'l IA the other day ; and he would tell the ° I ) o ' Lord at the head of the Government, the if,, e hy OM give this measure . any support, he could rally round him such a support as no Minister had be ore received from the masses of the people, while, if it were refused, there would be such a spirit raised in the north of England, as it would take much trouble to allay. Ile trusted the House would do justice to the people of England, and pass the motion of the Hon Member for Oldham without a division. Sir G. STRICKLAND could not sufficiently express the satisfaction which he felt at hearing that this mea sure was likely to receive any support from Government. At the same time he believed that the Tee, Hours Bill for young persons was the right measure that should be adopted by the Legislature. He could not possibly conceive why any young person should work in a close atmosphere, against the continuous power of steam, for two hours a day more than the labourer of agricultie e—a labour, the most healthy in which human labour could be employed. The oely:argumeres he had heard that evening against the interference of the Legislature on this most important subject, were the arguments of those persons who called themselves political economists.' He for one did not cry out against political economy. by which a soun d reason could be given for what was done by the Legislature or the Government. Ho spoke of that political economy which would never listen to reason on this subject., which carried its doctrine to such an extreme, that it could not be applied to the simplest thing. To illustrate this, he would refer to the argument made use of by the Hon. Member for Corn wall that the:House ought not to interfere with the labour of young persons working in factories, because it did not interfere with the male servants in the city of London. He could not conceive the cases so utterly dissimilar, and how the same measures or means could be applied to the two cases he could not comprehend. They had applied for the interference of the Legislature in the cases of young persons who could not protect themselves. In the case of the male servants, they had certain bar gains with their masters ; but in the case of the factory labourers, no such bargain could be made, in conse quence of the rule of political economy. The cum:sire established by the capital employed overwhelmed thesis. He would most certainly cordially support the motion, of the lion. Member. Sir R. PEEL (who was indistinctly heard) said that he had heard what had been said on the subject by the Hon. Member for Tavistock. With regard to the opinion he (Sir R. Peel) had heretofore expresued, he retained it still ; and the House would not think, him in different to the interests of those employed in feeetory le hour if he opposed the measure, for he did to because ho firmly believed that the passing of the Bill I would not tend to their benefit.—(Cheers.) When he - leas at the head of her Majesty's Government last yer,r, they had postponed entering upon the discussion , fix the same reasons that he now stated. If the House should come to a decision adverse to the wishes of those 7 . favourable to this measure, it was desirable that it slvesed be done with as kindly a disposition and manner aa7possible.— (11ear, hear.) Mr. lIUME was anxious that the subject should re ceive the fullest and fairest investigation. He enter tained the strongest conviction from the . evii hence that had been given before a Committee of that Ile .use on the ' subject. The House had acted upon the pia nciple that labour should be allowed to regulate itself, 'and had in consequence swept away several statutes on the ques tion. This had not been done, however, until after several discussions, and he trusted that th e Right Hon. Bart. would not oppose the present dis. mesion. He (Mr. Hume) was of opinion that the plan i lo w proposed would not effect any good, but still he wo al 1 wish that the subject should receive, as he had &nee ly said, tho fullest, the fairest, and the most dispassiona'e ! discussion. Mr. B. ESCOTT said he did not wis) i to say any thing upon the merits of the question, but hi s thought it would be strictly improper to oppose the I lili ! at present. Mr. MUNTZ said factory labour was an e. xception to the general rule, and required legislation upn a it. Any one who had been in a cotton factory wool d be able to judge if it were not so. He had himself ?xo - ne to Man chester a few weeks ago to make inquiries mu to the con condition of the factory operatives there, sac dhe found that all the improvements making were in fa sour of the masters, and against the men. Considering the heated atmosphere of the mills, the long hours of 1 abour, and the age of enemy of those therein engaged, bre considered the present Bill to be necessary. Mr. B. ESCOTT rose, amidst loud cries rd 7 " Order," to repeat the question he had asked before.. He would ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Gove re invent what were the future intentions of her Majesty's Id .inisters in regard to this Bill ? Lord J. RUSSELL replied that it had : been agreed that leave to bring in the Bill should be gis a n, and that it should be read a first time. When the .a ill came to its next stage, he would be prepared to she o what he intended to do in regard to the measure.—(ll; ar.) i t t , n h ii g e: A e le rt E ra hi . e v e x s l le c , uhrjws•eaciso4ftlhrseun sugar to bring in the Bill.

Sir R. PEEL said, as he was one of the trustees of the National Gallery, he had no objection to second the motion. The House of Commons had behaved very liberally to the National Gallery, and therefore he thought the lion. Gentleman had acted very properly in not making any comments upon what had taken place. The trustees had called on the gentleman to whom reference had been made, to furnish a full report of what bad been done. He trusted the House in considera tion of the high character of the president of the gallery, Sir C. Eaitlake, would suspend its judgment until they were in possession of the documents refered to. They would be furnished in a few days. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government were anxious to afford the fullest informa tion. LAW OF SETTLEMENT. On the motion of Sir GEORGE GREY, the following Committee, after some discussion, was nominated on the Law of Settlement :—Mr. Charles Buller, Sir James Graham, Mr. Bankes, Mr. John Evelyn Denison, Sir George Grey, Mr. Thomas buncombe, Lord Harry Vane, Mr. Poulett Scrope, Mr. William Miles, Mr. Charles Villiers, Mr. Borthnick, Mr. Charles Round, Mr. Aldam, and Mr. Bodkin. FACTORIES BILL. Mr. FIELDEN then brought in his Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on to morrow fortnight. BUCKWHEAT, Sce., IMPORTATION BILL. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL this Bill was read a second time. The Noble Lord said that the Government had, by an order in council, at once ad mitted the importation of buckwheat without waiting for the delay consequent upon the Bill passing through all its stages. The House then adjourned shortly after half-past six o'clock, to Thursday next. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TR ADE. From the manner in which the Ministerial plans have been received by the Opposition aide of the House, it is certain that the proposed suspension of the corn and navigation laws will forthwith be conceded ; nor are any objections likely to be raised to the permission to emply sugar in distilleries and breweries. The ready acquiescence of Members of all shades of opinion to the free importation of grain for a period of six months affords the strongest possible proof of the neces sity of the measure. Nothiag but the absolute conviction that a very large import of food will be required, and the consequent resolve to lay aside all party feelings, and give the Government every facility in passing such temporary laws as promise to increase our supplies, could have led to the unanimity of opinion which has been displayed on the subject. The picture drawn by Mr. Labouchere of the state of Ireland, and his estimate of the importation likely to be required between this and next harvest, are sufficiently start ling. Nor do we think he has overrated the difficulties which may be expected to be encountered (owing to the de ficiency of the last harvest on the Continent) in procuring the requiste quantity of grain. Under these circumstances a reaction in prices can scarcely be expected; indeed the probability is, that, high as quotations now are, they will become still higher before any efficient assistance can reach us from abroad. The great dependence of both statesmen and merchants is Asuerica. That the crop of wheat was large, and that of Indian corn unusually abundant, both in the United States and Canada, we have every reason to be lieve ;:but, on the other hand, the yield of grain in many of the continental states of Europe was even more deficient than Great', Britain. IV Nether, therefore, the surplus of the western hemisphere will prove sufficiently ample to make good the deficiency of the eastern may well admit of ques tion. It is, at all' events, certain that so unusual a demand will speedily enhance prices on the other side of the Atlan tic; and we feel satisfied that to secure a supply at all com mensurate with our requirements we shall have to pay very high rates. The announcement of the intention of Ministers to take off the duty has had very little effect on the home trade; there has perhaps been a little less activity this week in the demand for wheat at some of the markets in the agri• cultural districts, but this we are inclined to attribute to the increase which has taken place in the supplies, and to the caution induced by the high value of the article, rather than to the influence of the Government interference with the laws. It is quite in accordance with the usual course of trade that, after so great a rise as that recently established on wheat, a pause should occur; but we must confess we can discover no symptoms indicative of a reaction in prices. With regard to Barley the case has been different; and though it is yet doubtful whether sugar will be extensively used as a substitute, the alteration pr,posed to be made in the distillation laws has certainly had the effect of rendering sellers :of this grain 'somewhat anxious to realise; whilst buyers have declined . entering into fresh engagements, ex cept at materially reduced rates. 'What has transpired in the House of Commons has rather increased the tenacity of holders of Oats. In touching on the subject of the deficiency of this crop in Ireland, the President of the Board of Trade estimated the produce of Ireland at about three-fourths of an average: and as the consumption of meal must have been unusually great, all hope of a supply of Oats from the sister isle would appear to be at an end. Wheat continues to be higher at many of the provincial markets than at Mark lane, which circumstance accounts for the moderate charac ter of the supplies of the article into London. During the week ending this (Saturday) evening, the arrival coastwise into London has amounted to 6,629 g o re.; nor has the quan tity brought forward by land-carriage samples from the home counties been by any means large. On Wednesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were very poorly sup plied; and from more distant parts of the kingdom there was scarcely anything fresh up. Factors were firm in their demands ; and though the inquiry was not particularly ac tive, previaus prices were rather exceeded. On Friday the quantity on sale was even smaller than on former occasions, whilst the anxiety of millers to add to their stocks was quite as apparent ; and the business done was at terms not pre viously obtainable. The demand for foreign free Wheat has been tolerably active throughout the week; the coarser qualities have again been taken rather extensively, for the purpose of being converted ii:ts meal to ship to Irelaml, and the rates paid have been fully as high as at any former period, say 68s. to The. for alessa, and proportionate terms for other kinds. The millers have also bought the--tiner sorts pretty freely for local use, in consequiince of an in creaced demand for Flour; and for superior Danteic, Ros tock, and other favourable kinds, very high prices have been realisai. In anticipation of an earls- release of the bonded at a nominal duty, holders of parcels under lock have de.. dined selling, except on terms scarcely Is. per quarter be low those at which free wheat of similar quality might have been bought ; notwithstanding which several lots have changed hands.—.llark-lane Express PRISON DISCIPLINE. A letter from Stockholm states that the six cellular (soli tary confinement) prisons, built by order of the Government in different parts of the kingdom, have just been terminated. These prisons can contain from four to eight hundred pri soners. They will be occupied during the course of next month. The following are the prominent features of the re gulations of these prisons. The prisoners are not to be al lowed to speak to each other. Even while taking their only exercise, in an enclosure, strict silence is to be observed. This exercise is to be allowed them daily, and is to last half an hour; a longer time may be conceded to sick prisoners, on the demand of the doctor, and with the sanc tion of the governor of the prison. If a prisoner wishes to make a complaint, he can only do so during the time of exercise. lie must then step forward and raise his hand; upon this one of the guardians will listen ti what he has to say. The prisoners are to receive the daily visit either of the clergyman, the doctor, or some special person appointed for the purpose. These visits an. never to exceed twenty minutes. The prisoner in his con versations with the functionaries of the prison, who are tlo , only persoris he is allowed to converse with, must always speak in an undertone. Each cell is to be provided with a book on religion, and is fernished with a bell, so as to enable the prisoner to call for help in case of illness, Di vine service is to be performed in the corridors. During the service the door of each cell is to be opened two or three inches, so as to enable the prisoners to see and hear the clergyman without seeing each other. The cells are not to be lighted; nevertheless, prisoners worthy of leni ence may in exceptional cases, and at their own expans e receive permission from the governor to have a light in their cell. (In Sweden during the short days it is scarcely day light before 91 in the morning.) Those prisoners who are not sentenced to bard labour er to complete idleness (punish ments which must be expressly denoted in the sentence) may obtain the permission to work on their own account. In this case the prison authorities will endeavour to procure them work. The punishments to which the prisoners aro subject, are-1. Privation of their walk in the enclosure. 2. Diminution of their rations of food, the diminution not to exceed one-third. 3. Locking up in the black-hole for a period not exceeding eight days. The latter punishment is only applicable to prisoners who have made use of violence. THE GREAT LEAGUE PlCTURE. — NOtWithStanding the shortness and the darkness of the days, and the difficulty of obtaining a regular succession of sitters, Mr. Herbert has made great progress with his painting of the Council of the League,—a picture which will sustain the high reputation he has so deservedly acquired. The likenesses are admirable, and the grouping is entirely free from the stiffness which cha racterises so many of the attempts to pourtray the corona tions, and baptisms, and Duke's dinners, where the person ages seem to sit or stand without any other object than to have their port ra it s taken. Mr. Cobden, standing and ad dressing the chairman, is the centre figure of Mr. Herbert's pieture, and it is a living and speaking likeness. On his left hand, sitting at the side of the table nearest to the eye of the spectator, are Mr. Rawson, the treasurer of th e L eague, M r. Bright, M.P., Mr. R. H. reg, late M.P. for Nianchester, and a space is left for Mr. Villiers, M.P., and another for Mr. Gib son, M.P. On the right of Mr. Cobden, between him and Mr. Prentice, spaces are left for Lord Radnor and Col. Thompson. At the right hand corner of the picture are Mr. 11. Ash worth and Mr. Bazloy, standing, and Mr. Hamer Stansfeld, of Leeds, sitting. At the left hand corner are Mr. J. B. Smith and Mr. John Brooks, sitting. At the opposite side of the table, and sitting at it, are Mr. Hickin, the secretary, Mr. William Evans, Mr. Lees, Mr. H. Rawson, and Mr. NV. Bickham. The only portraits behind them, as yet, are Mr. Lumsden, the late Lord Provost of Glasgow, and Mr. Dixon, the late Mayor of Carlisle. Mr. George Wilson oc cupies the chair, and on the raised dais behind him are Lord Kinnaird, Mr. John Whitaker, of Hurst, and Mr. Duncan Maclaren, of Edinburgh, Mr. W.

Yesterday a Court was held specially, to consider a motion by Alderman numphery—" That the Remem brancer be directed to prepare a petition to Parliament for a Bill to alter and amend the Act of the 11 th of George I. cap. 18, for regulating elections within the City of London, with a view, amongst other things, to extend the elective franchise in the election of aldermen and common councilmen. The Court was numerously attended. THE NEW ELECTION OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT WARD. Sir JAMES DUKE is presenting the return of the new election for the ward of Farringdon Without, the for mer election having been vitiated by the wrong casting of the poll, and other matters connected with the neces sary forms, said he was desired by the wardmote to ex press their dissent from the decision of the Court of Aldermen, and their feeling that the common councilmen had been treated with indecorum by that Court, and by the Recorder. Alderman FAREBROTHER asked whether that state ment constituted part of the return? Sir JAMES DUKE replied, that he spoke as a member of that Court. His constituents complained that they had not been heard. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said that the consti tuency had no ground for complaint, as the Court of Aldermen could not by any possibility arrive at any other decision. The LORD MAYOR denied that the gentlemen of the ward had been treated with any disrespect, either by the Recorder or the members of that Court. [lt is proper to state that the Recorder did all he could at the last Court to induce the members to allow the counsel for all parties to speak to the subject before the Court, but without success.] Sir PETER LAURIE hoped the complaint would be a lesson to the Court to give the parties interested an op portunity of being heard, by adjourning the decision upon such a return. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES observed that the court were bound to correct any manifest error as soon as they discovered it. Alderman SIDNEY called upon Sir James Duke to ex plain a statement which he had made at the wardmote to the prejudice of the Court of Aldermen, that some of the members bad been canvassed by others to throw out the return, and that they were glad to gratify a secret ani mosity to Sir James Duke's ward. Sir James had stated that his informant was a member of the court. Alderman COPELAND hoped Sir James Duke would have the manliness to name the Alderman who had made such a statement. Sir JAMES DUKE explained, that his statements to his constituents had been misunderstood. He had said that the moment one of the Aldermen looked at the return, ho declared it must be thrown out. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES remarked that the defect was not known fill the return was presented to the Court. and furnished A l d Raide r m t h a se n o cmWo some evidence defended ici td oenr ctehof f t h t the o de position representatives i o o i o f n of the w the hieh Court,ward,th mf A reo ld qti e uv r ee m nst e a n etiter w eibt o ill u ot ld be placed, if they were subjected to had heard bitter invectives uttered against Membe the Court, and even villanous cm, on account of their opinions and decision on't e matter, act being, that the Court could legally 'cisme to ii Anther conclusion than that at which they hildifirrired.-PTear, hear.) The subject was theft dropped h 4 ENLARGEMENT OF THE ELEeTIE rnANcrusE. Alderman HU3IPITEIN 'rose to iiibmit to the Court the motion of which he had given niitice, and for the dis cussion of which the Court had been specially summoned. His object was, he said, to go to Parliament for the power of extending the franchise of the election of Alder men and Common Councilmen. There seemed to exist amongst some of his fellow-citizens, a decided impression that if the Corporation, or any part of it, went to Parliament, a death-blow would be dealt upon its privileges. He did not believe my such thing. On the contrary, he thought that if the the corporation applied with an unanimous feeling to Parliament, the most attentive and respectful conside ration would be given to the aject of its application. — (Hear, hear.) His object was, to alter and amend so much of the Act of George the First as would enable those who paid the largest amount of rates and taxes, and contributed most largely to the support of the wealthy character of the city, to have a voice is the elec tion of aldermen and common councilmen. As the law at present stood, the voters must not only keep houses or warehouses, and pay scot and bear lot, but they must sleep, either by themselves or their servants, within the wards. He recollected that when he presided at the election for aldermen in the ward of Bread-street, he had had experience of that doctrine having been observed, the rejection of the rotes of many of the most respect able and influential men on that occasion, because they could not prove the fast of their skeping in the ,vard. Such a system inevitably threw upon men who ought not to have such an authority the power of electing whom they might prefer, thus leaving the su perior classes in the ward unrepresented. Now, his intention was to throw open the franchise to all persons paying scot and bearing lot in the city of London, whether they were freemen or not.—(Hear, hear.) There were in all the wards individuals who were not free, and who would not be free, but they bore the great burden of the City taxation, and no one in his sense, could at this time of day say that they were not entitled to votes in the election of those who were to impose taxes upon them. Generally speaking the merchants were free, but they were exempted from the privilege of voting because they thought it was advisable to sleep in the suburbs after the toils of the day.—(hear, hear.), He wished to establish the constituency of the Aldermen and the Common Councilmen upon the basis of the ex isting parliamentary constituency. Ile proposed, too, to limit the duration of election for members of the two courts upon the parliamentary principle of the Reform Bill. The present Lord Mayor had witnessed in the case of his election, the- inconvenience and annoyance of an eight days' poll, when the business could have been accom ilelaaLied as effectively in one day. Tho election of Com mon Councilmen, which occupied, in the event of a con test, three days, it would be also necessary pg.o—we(rHoefare,lechteinagr.)AldNeormw,en,inatso well as . to limit to fall, if th e present pract i ce wore u ea tn l he li ei n l m e n now discontinued r In the ward of Farringdon Without, one c ha o hands Common aosYvn'os i C u o d there were 180 licensed victuallers, all of whom had votes, and they could by their votes and influence, which was considerable, and claim whatever candidates they pitched upon to the Court of Common Council. These licensed victuallers, if the Act were not altered and amended, would by and by return members to the Court of Aldermen, as well as to the other Court. There were, he believer', 1,000 licensed victuallers in the city of Lon don, and if the change were not made in compliance with the demands and spirit of the times, to these individuals would devolve the power of supplying the Cor poration of London with representatives, of the vast wealth and power of this great city.—(llear, hear, and a laugh.) Now that would be a state of thing-enot likely to find advocates in the Court of Aldermen. In effectual atternr is had been made ti compel wholesale dealers to take up their freedom, and it appsared to the authorities of the Corporation, to be too hard to U5O compulsory means with the retail dealers, after such an issue. 'I he constituency, then, must soon be narrowed in an extreme degree, if the means he proposed for extending it were not adopted. It was idle to talk of the danger of the sacrifice of the privileges of the Core poration upon coming in contact with Lord Brou g h am i n the House of Lor ds, and Mr. Williams in the House of Commons.—(A laugh.) He had no apprehension of the stability of the Corporation, if they would only go along with the spirit of the times.—(Hear, hear.) The Court of Common Council was naturally anxious to have the privilege of keeping their establishments in the City, and to sleep oat of town. To that position he subscribed—(lkar, hear)—but the existing law prohibited it. Th e Bill he was desirous to int ro d uce to Parliament would quite put an end to that pro hibition, and place the Common Council and the constituency on a level as to privileges. The Com mon Council, he believed, were anxious tha touch should be the case, but they were frightened at their own shadows the moment Parliament was spoken of, and still without going to Par liament nothing could be done.— (Hear, har.) Alderman Humphrey who was listened to throughout without marked attention, then read the motion as above. Alderman HuottEs linGuns suggested the propriety of submitting a question of so much importance to a committee to inquire into the expediency of an applica tion to Parliament. Alderman WILSON seconded Alderman Humphery's proposition. All parties had, he said, agreed that the time had arrived for an application to Parliament for the reform of a portion of London, which had, notwithstanding all that had been threatened and promised and predicted, ever since the Reform Bill had passed Parliament, never undergone any reform at all.—(Hear, hear.) Of late an attempt had been made in the Court of Common Council, but they had evidently begun at the wrong end by bringing in a Bill to alloy the representatives to live out of the city. It would be very well to intro duce that p rivil ege after the production of other reforms more pressing ergency. There should be alterations affecting the conservancy of the river, the improvement of the city and of the police, and many other matters, the manage ment of which, made the Corpo ration of London the laughing stock of the world.—(Laughter below the bar.) It was an absurd and fatal jealousy which interfered with the power to render the two bodies of the corporation effective, and largely beneficial to the community, pos sessing as they did the elements of good.—(Hear, hear.) He concurred in the proposition that the franchise ought to be enlarged. The only doubt which came across his mind related to those cases in which individuals paid acs/. each for their freedom.—(Hear, hear.) He believed, however, that there was a remed y a pp licable to that condition.—(llear, hear.) There were some alarmists who said, that if the corporation went to Par liament their charters would become a dead letter, and it would become the counterpart of the other municipal institutions of the country. A VOICE—And why not? Alderman Wiesost—The question was fairly asked, Why not? He would rather see the City corporation like one of those which had been mentioned than see it what it had been for a long time, and what it was at present—the ridicule of the whole country.—(Laughter below the bar.) The Alderman concluded by saying, that as Alderman Hum her was an uniform supporter of the present Government, he would procure the con currence of the head of it on the present object, and use every exertion of which he was capable to advance so impertant a step to corporate reform.—(Hear.) Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said ho should move an amendment, that a committee of the whole court be ap poin seck to consider the expediency of directing the Pen ienalerancer to bring a Bill into Parliament for the purl ioso stated by Alderman Humphrey. He thought that so important a measure ought to be preceded by a corn 4fittee. He believed the time had arrived when it it al twid be made apparent to the public, that whatever might be the opinion entertained by the country, the . Court of Aldermen was not the court to object to an ap plication to Parliament for improvement in its constitu tion.---:(Hear, hear.) Some people might have disagree able forebodings, but he had a firm belief upon being fairly treated in Parliament. Sir P. LAURIE seconded Alderman Hughes Hughes' amendment. He did not believe there was any necessity for going to Parliament, and he had every reliance upon the discretion and zeal of the Court of Common Council, who were perfectly justified in bring ing forward the measure to which such unreasonable objection had been made in the Court of Aldermen. With respect to the duration of the poll he did not see how the constituency would bo benefited by limiting the time of elections. The period occupied in a contest gave the constituency an 'opportunity of ascertaining the foundation of objections to the candidates, and there were instances in which two very queer characters would have been sheriffs, if it had not been for the inquiry which the Livery were enabled to make by the duration of the poll into the merits of the candidates.—(Hear, hear, and a cry of "We all remember that," and laughter.) It would be very desirable to adjourn the subject under discussion, until the result of the reference to the committee, and the whole Court of Common Council, should be known. Alderman Wool) showed that there existed a strong necessity for going to Parliament as speedily as possible, for the purpose stated in the proposition of Alderman Humphery had intimated the fact that, several years ago, he had brought forward the question, amongst others, involving the principal details connected with corporation reform. Alderman COPELAND supported the original motion. A committee would inevitably cause delay, and delays are, in so vital a case, dangerous. Alderman THOMPSON also supported the original mo tion, but was of opinion that the Bill, when brought in by the Remembrancer, should undergo in all its clauses the most vigilant examination: The amendment of Alderman Hughes Hughes was then negatived by a majority of 12 to 5. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL then moved as an amend ment the previous question, which was at once nega tived, only one hand having been held up for it. Alderman lIUMPEIERY'S motion, with the addition suggested by Alderman TeioeirsoN, that the Bill be prepared by the Remembrancer, under the direction of seven aldermen, was then adopted, no more than one hand having been held up against it. , The Court then adjourned. There were several members of the Court of Common Council present, and they expressed in very plain lan guage their astonishment at the radical change exhibited in the discussion of matters on which the Court had been long accustomed to deliver opinions diametrically opposite.

Dock-yards with regard to the economy of labour and materials, as well as the general principles of efficient superintendence and accountancy, is now under going a thorough investigation, and has been followed up at this port during the past week by Mr. Bromley, an officer of the Admiralty. This gentleman, who was, we believe, in trusted last year by the Government with an important and confidential mission to Ireland, appears to have been directing his attention to the method of duly accounting for Dock-yard expenses, and more particularly to the manner of charging the expenses of building and repairing lI.M. ships. The application and economy of the labour of the yard seem also to be important elements of this official inquiry, as well as the responsible control of the labour. The receipt and issue of stores, the expense of which forms so large an item in the Navy Estimates, and which is open to much tempta tion to abuse and improvidence, appears to form a portion of this rigid scrutiny. The same course will no doubt be pursued at the other yards ; and we heartily join with the Board of :Admiralty in their endeavour to root out, by a better system, any evil practices which may exist, to set those CK whoEX C have HA7G purchased E. b authority at defiance, and open the door to delusion or pecu lation.—Dcronport I n d e p en d en t. MADRID ofS T or ie e r ia stock,benefit and information it may be stated that an Exchange, or Bolso de Comercio, was established at Madrid in 1831. It may be called the coldest spot in the hot capital, and the idlest, since the usual "City article " is short and sweet, "sin operaciones" or nothing has been bought and sold. It might be likened to a tomb, with "Here lies Spanish credit" for its epitaph. If there be a thing which "La pellicle Albion," " a nation of shop keepers," dislikes worse even than a French assignat, it is a bankrupt. One circumstance is clear, that Cas tilian pundonor, or point of honour, will rather settle its debts with cold iron and warm abuse, than with gold and thanks. The Exchange at Madrid was first held at St. Martin's, a saint who divided his cloak with a supplicant. As comparisons are odious, and bud ex amples catching, it has been recently removed to the Calle del Desengano, the street of " finding out fallacious hopes ;" a locality Which the bitten will not deem ill-chosen. As all men in power use their official knowledge in taking advantage of the turn of the market, the Bolaa divides with the court and army the moving influence of every situation or crisis of the moment ; clever as are the -Ministers of Paris, they are mere tyros when compared to their colleagues at Madrid in the arts of working the telegraph, the gazette, &c., and thereby feathering their own nests.
