Q" Vierti3lg _--,aitit LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1847. A very amusing spectacle is being presented night afer night in the Upper House of Parliament, but it is one The mostwAch unhappily interferes with public business. vexatious opposition is again to the different given again and Under r tb measures introduced by the Government. en guidance of a contemptible faction, Noble Lords turn obstinacy and assail with the utmost violence and the very schemes which are sanctioned by the nc:omelrecltive wisdom of the yolfiecause they are empire ; and they act thus recent and stilt smarting under a recollection their recent Lords, ignominious discomfiture. Noble an Noble and Learned Lords, Lords distin guished by every variety of adjective and everq g ree of grammatical experience comparison, may v7y de_ a morbid sati.sfaction in venting thes4 miserable ebulli tions cif spleen, but we warn them that they are heaping live coals upon their heads in so doing, they are accumulating for themselves a terrible compensa tion, they are rendering each other odious in the sight of the community by becoming the obstacles of legislation. The Earl of LUcAN endeavoured yesterday even ing to obstruct the passage of the Limited Service (Army) Bill by one of the most idle amendments which could well hare been devised, namely, " that twelve years be substituted for ten years in the in fantry, and fourteen years for twelve years in the cavalry arid artillery, or other ordnance corps." ' Fortunately the proposition was negatived after a very few observations of remonstrance, and the Bill ultimately passed unmutilated through the ordeal of a Committee in the Lords, and was duly reported. No thing but a miracle of pertinacity can now, therefore, retard its enrolment on the statute-book, and a new and brighter career dawns before the members of the military profession. Inestimable as have been the advantages already con ferred upon the army, by the reformations effected in the condition of the soldiers, we are disposed to regard the present measure as calculated more than any preceding alterations to effect a very visible improvement in the moral character, the intellectual faculties, and the social condition of our liveried de fenders. The purpose of the Government in intro ducing the Bill, which now only requires a third reading in the Peers, and the customary consent of the SOVEREIGN to become a law, was very happily and tersely expressed by the Duke of WELLINGTON. That intention is, according to his Grace, to render dismissal a punishment. In alluding to the vexatious amendments which had been introduced, the Duke observed with a petulance in which we can fully sympathise —" My Lords, there may be many modes by which this object may be accomplished, but this is the mode proposed by her MAJESTY'S Government, and adopted by the other House of Parliament, and therefore I recommend your Lordships to give it your support." A sugges tion appears really to have been afforded by the opposition raised against the Factories Bill from the first moment of its introduction, that suggestion being that whenever there is apparently little hope for a direct negative to the measure, an oblique or indirect negative has been given by squabbling as to the propriety of ten or eleven hours, ten or twelve years, twelve or fourteen years, or what not. Dis tinctly and emphatically we protest against this shuffling and ignoble system of antagonism. There is a sneaking and insidious character about it which is wholly incompatible with open discussion and honest statesmanship. Much as the Marquis of LormormEnnT derided the , notion of ameliorating the condition of the soldiery 1 1 by the establishment of military savings' banks—by the diminution or abolition of corporal chastisement —by the restriction of the authorities of general courts-martial —by the destruction of the de grading cat —by the sanatory improvements introduced into the barracks—and by the systematic education of the privates during periods of peace, the Noble Lord may rest perfectly assured that he is only rendering himself eminently ridiculous in the utter ance of his sickly gibes and puling sarcasms. Despite the sneers of a few malcontents, we are satisfied that a happier and more ennobled existence is approaching for the soldier. The Irish Poor-law has passed the House of Lords. It now only awaits the approbation of the Representa tives of the People to the amendments introduced into the Upper House, and the Royal Assent, to become the law of the land. Henceforward the people of Ireland are entitled to relief in their destitution. Henceforward no person can perish from want of the common necessaries of life in our sister island. The great principle has been recognised the adop tion of which in this country, nearly three centuries ago, led to our national prosperity. In England, by reason of that principle, the proprietors of the soil could not afford to suffer the population to remain idle and unemployed, or their lands to remain without the highest degree of cultivation and the full development of their capabilities. Had they done so the whole produce would hove been absorbed in the supply of pauper multi tudes. To obtain any surplus, they were obliged, in the first instance, to provide employ ment for the able-bodied labourer. He was thereby supported at a much cheaper rate, even supposing his labour to be utterly valueless, than by consign ing him to the tender mercies of the union work house; with wages not exceeding Bs. or 10s. per week he was enabled to maintain his family without having recourse to parochial assistance, while the support of that family in idleness would have cost the parish fully double the amount. The landowners, therefore, saw the necessity of exerting themselves to provide useful occupation, and of mutually co- operating one with another in doing so. They speedil % found that they themselves fully participated in the benefits derivable from such a course. Their lands were brought into the highest state of fertility ; the produce was fully doubled ; the rentals had a propor tionate increase. Their mercy was indeed " twice blessed," and their country prospered and attained the highest rank in the scale of nations. In Ireland, however, it was otherwise. There the destitute pauper had no legal claim to relief. He could only trust in the dark hour of affliction to the precarious charity of those whose positions were little better than his own. To the honour of the humble cot- tier, it may be said that he never hesitated to sharE his frugal meal with the suppliant, to abridge his already too scanty supply, in order to save his dis tressed brother from absolute starvation. Perhaps the amount thus doled out to wandering mendicants amounted to as much as would have been required ander a well•regulated system of poor-laws; but did nut fall directly upon the class who could have taken steps to remedy the evil. Nothing, therefore, was done, and what has been the result ? We find, in the middle of the nineteenth century, more that. a quarter of the entire soil of the country suffered to remain waste and unreclaimed, and the residue that is nominally in tillage, not half cultivated, so that Although the glebe is naturally more fertile than it England, its produce is sixty per cent. lower. Thi, ,nay fairly be ascribed to the non-adoption of an effi - ,!ient poor-law up to this period; and we may rea• ,onably hope that it will find a speedy remedy, now that the cause which has led to so un toward a result has been taken away. The rental of the country may be stated in round numbers at 15,000,0001. sterling ; an increase of 60 per cent. for improved cultivation would give 9,000,0001. addition to that rental, exclusive of the value of the lands that would in process of time be reclaimed and made productive, or 12s. in the pound on the value, far more than any rate that would be struck in ordinary years for the relief of the poor. We have already pointed out some of the defects and deficiencies of the measure. These, however may, and, we doubt not, will, speedily be altered; ard,, although in the interim they may possibly deteriorate from the good effects of the law, still we have much that is valuable—that must, lead to the introduction of a better system. We can therefore cordially con gratulate all classes on the final success of the measure. To England, more than any other country, is an accurate acquaintance with the commercial resources of different states of paramount importance. The vast extent and varying nature of her commercial pursuits enforce the necessity of obtaining, as far as is practicable, the most intimate knowledge of the mercantile data of other countries. By the acquisi tion of good intelligence on these points we are enabled to pre-occupy and open new fields to the mercantile genius and enterprise of our compatriots. In this way we are not only prepared to take the readiest means of augmenting our national wealth, but we likewise render ourselves, by cementing the bonds of international intercourse, the chief promoters of universal civilisation. To the statistical labours of a PORTER and a M'CueLocit are we greatly indebted for most valuable information, for placing many o f our fiscal arrangements ispon a footing the best cal- ' culated to develop the important ends of commercial reciprocity between the British empire and foreign countries. Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR has vigorously la boured, and with signal success, in the same field. The 21 st part of his work upon commercial tariffs, and r t e rge a u t l i a e t a i o b n e s , t. between resources English and trade of the several state:, of Europe and America, g e l m is b h od a y n i d ng fo t r h e e i ‘ g c n orr c itn , t v x e c r i n a . l ments, has been rE , cently d ' presented to both Houses of oParliament ra l z ) yilicaonmemarlir elaborate research by Ichandll Publica tions have been characterised herein clearly enlightened as to ihe of commerce and navigation, and t pwhe of her MAJESTY.

Brazilian statistics • ' ! gation, agriculture, manufactures, e mpire, but an . admirable exposition is give n ) of its political and social condition. The area of the empire is computed to be nearly twenty-three times that of the United Ningdom, or about =eventy times as large as Portugal. Its climate, in parts, is actually ren dered unhealthy by the very richness of the vegetation in the low alluvial lands. In 1844 the estimate of the population did not exceed four millions and a half, and probably not one acre in two hundred of the entire cultivable area of Brazil is under any kind of culture. Their forests are of huge expanse, and the trees of majestic stature, some of them being invaluable for the purposes of ship-building. Amongst the minerals, which are very numerous, iron is found in great abundance. The civilization of the Brazilian people is confined to a narrow strip on the coast. The inhabitants of the interior are steeped in barbarism, their redemption from 'which will be quickened or delayed by the habits and manners of those who are located on the coasts, and who, in rude nations, are ever the first to receive and diffuse the blessings of enlightenment. Education has been shamefully neglected —a newspaper or a book is considered a rarity. Religion is in a most unsatisfactory condition. The principles of in fidelity are widely disseminated, and ignorance and superstition likewise prevail to a lamentable extent. Altogether, Mr. MACGREGOR'S description of Brazil is highly interesting, and well repays an attentive perusal. Madrid papers of the 12th have arrived. All the Ministers had left the capital for Aranjuez, a circumstance which gave rise to a rumour of an impending change of Ministry. The QUEEN was to give a grand reception on the 13th, in honour of the KING'S birthday. Food riots have taken place at Leon, but they were soon got under by the authorities. General PEZUELA, Captain-General of Seville, has:been exiled to Malaga, and Senors Cilia:, and AVIRANETA have been set at liberty. General SHELLY has gone to take the command in Seville, and General CONCHA to assume the command of the army of observation assembled on the frontiers of Portugal. MADRID BOMA, MAY 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 301- for' cash; the Five per Cents. at 19; the Debt without interest at 51,-; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. A petition from JEROME BONAPARTE, ex-King of Westphalia, the only surviving brother ofNAPOLEON, praying for permission to return to France, was pre sented to the Chamber of Deputies by M. ODILON BARROT. This petition is the subject of comment in almost all the journals, and all parties opposed to the Ministry take advantage of the circumstance to throw the opprobrium of the continued exile of the Bona partefamily from France exclusively upon M. GUIZOT and his friends. The Union 3fonarchique, the Legitimatist organ, declares " that if the thing depended upon the men of the right-hand benches, the gates of France would be opened to-morrow to M. JEROME and his children," and the Presse, the organ of the seceders from the Ministerial camp, the parti faiseur, thus expresses their senti ments on this subject : " Without repealing the law which exiles the family of Napoleon—a law which is a perfect anachronism—might not the favour be granted which is solicited so earnestly by the ex-King Jerome, to be permitted to die surrounded by his children, amongst his fellow-citizens? Whence the danger? Would it not, on the contrary, be an act of force—an act of confidence, and, at the same time, an act of justice and of generosity? Parties are right to ridicule the parti faiseur, for this is one of the acts of which they would nut hesitate to as sume the responsibility." The Journal des Ddbals has the following sarcastic observations on the accusations of wholesale corrup tion which have recently been brought against the Ministry : "The Opposition, which almost believed that it had over thrown the Ministry, is furious at the result. It has recourse to its great means—it exclaims against the corruption of the age. 0 tempora! 0 mores! when will the exterminating angel make his appearance? The following calculation con soles us in a slight degree. God demanded but ten just men in Sodom to save that guilty city. We have, bank Heaven, better than that. Entire parties have escaped corruption. For example, we have the party of the Legitimatists—that party, we trust, isnot corrupt. The Legitimatists boast in their journals of having preserved the purity of their ancient morals —their antique honour—their ancient faith ! Legitimatists are not seen to meddle in railroad affairs or other speculations. The rage for gambling has not reached them. As soon as France will, she is certai❑ of finding in that corner of the country loyal chevaliers—administrators without reproach— and disinterested courtiers. There everybody is respectable —everybody is venerable; the least amongst them is a saint. The LOrd has reserved for himself that inheritance amongst us. We possess, moreover, the Republican party. Their virtues are carried to a point of rudeness, and exhale we know not what perfume of terrorism. Brutus in that. quarter wears the bonnet rouge. There is no fear that enjoy ment shall degrade their proud courage, or that there shall again appear a Barras amongst those Saint Justa and ltobespierres. We have in fact all shades of the Opposition —even to and comprising the Progressive Conservatives— independent and honourable. hose compose a mass of re spectable virtue ! Some may fall, but the greater number have remained incorruptib'e ; arid the Ministry has not suc ceeded i❑ impeaching the integrity of the Ochlon Barrots, the Billaults, the Cremeux, and so many others! There remains then the Conservative party properly so called. There, as the National so eloquently describes, corruption ex hales an odour ofpestilence and death. It is a fearful spectacle. Still the evil amongst the Conservative party is not altogether desperate. A Conservative has only to pass over to the Op position, and his sores will be healed between the morning and the evening. Did it not depend upon M. Lacave La plagne two days since to become again a skilful aad honest administrator? Did not popularity wait for him at the close of the sitting of Friday last, had he but denounced the Government of which he the day previously had formed a part? Corruption which is so quickly cured cannot be gross, and parties who absolve so suddenly appear to be acting a part wben they chant in chorus. Preachers are always so. They draw horrible pictures of the world, and still they live in the world in nearly the same manner as other people. The age they live in is always the most corrupt. In the same manner, when one party is in possession of power those who are not never fail to consider that the party which governs is the worst of all. We have another reason to be reassured as to the pretended corruption of cur time. How did great Lords, Ladies, Generals, and Ministers acquire fortunes for merly? When men speak of antique morals, to what morals do they allude? Are the antique morals those which flou rished under the Valois? at the Court of Francis I.? of Henry 11. ? or Henry III.? Are they the morals of Ver sailles under the reign of Madame de Montespan ? Are they the morals of the Directory or even those of the Empire? ..t present a person is expelli.d from society, or suffers the disgrace of a judgment for using means to acquire wealth, which formerly did not prevent men from walking proudly under the purple of a cardinal or the braided costume of a Court favourite. AVe are more severe, and we are right in being so. But it is not the corruption of the age which proves this fact! We should say that the vice of our period is hypocrisy, if that hypocrisy itself ought not to be called by the more simple and more appropriate name of the spirit of party." There are rumours that the French Cabinet is torn by internal dissensions, and that Marshal SOULT would long since have resigned but for the difficulty of finding a successor. M. GUIZOT claims the vacant presidency, but he has been so egregiously out in his calculations as to the management of the Chambers, that his influence is much weakened; and M. Du- CHATEL openly declares that he would not tolerate M. GUIZOT'S supremacy; while M. GUIzoT, on the other hand, will not waive his claim. In this contest the chances are against M. GUIZOT, and M. Du- CHATEL is generally looked upon as the " coming man." General NARYAEZ arrived in Path on Sunday, and General RoDIL, who his obtained permission to return to Spain, left Bayonne the same day for Madrid. Accounts from Toulon of the 13th inst. mention the arrival, on that day, of the Rainier steamer, with dit.patches for the Government from the Minister of France at Constantinople and Athens. The Ramier sailed from the Piraeus on the 2d inst., when the dif ference between Greece and Turkey was beginning to assume a somewhat serious aspect. The British frigate Spartan and the brig Mutine were preparing to quit Malta fur the Piraeus on the 6th. Shortly after the arrival of the Ramier at; Toulon, the Itubia steamer put to sea with dispatches for the Minister of France in Greece. The squadron, com manded by the Prince DE JOINVILE, returned to Toulon on the afternoon of the 13th. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Monday at 77f. 90c.; the Five per Cents., 1151.

American to the trade sold at 6id. to 6%d. per lb. Shares were again very dull, and prices were lower. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—This Bill passed the Commons on its merits on Monday last, scarcely any evidence being required—notwithstanding the East Lancashire Railway Company and other oppcsition. The Bill will be reported to the House to-morrow, and is ex pected to be in Committee in the Lords by the second week in June. As a sanatory line opening out miles of sea coast (hitherto inaccessible). and one' that will develop the agri cultural resources of the inland country through which it passes, it will prove one of the most valuable in the country. There are further arrivals from the colonies, but none bring later dates. The City is but thinly attended to• clay, and there is a pretty general abstinence from business, not only in the Stock Exchange, but likewise in the Colohial Markets, as usual. In a period of commercial depression, the excitement of the "Derby-day" may act as a wholesome corrective. According to advices from Berlin, the new States of Prussia are not likely to do much prior to their adjournment on the Bth of June next, a period when the members would be anxious to get back to their homes, a large number of them being engaged in agricultural pursuits, and having be sides to attend the Silesian wool markets, where business is done to the extent of twenty millions of florins. The busi ness required, however, is not on that account less likely to be well done, writes one Tarty, and the States will probably meet again in November or December. The Stock Market is very quiet, but has been steady up to the present time. The Money and Account prices of Consols are now the same, viz., 804 • Bank Stock has been worth 189 to 191. The New Three•and- a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87 to %. Exchequer-bills are par to 3s. premium. The intention of the Bank to lend money upon them until July at five per cent. strengthens them a little, and probably it will be the interest of the leading capitalists to uphold the market and prevent a funding. In the Foreign Market there is absolutely nothing doing. Railway Shares are rather heavy again. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY The arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been again very small, and the show of samples of that grain here was trifling. Although the attendance of buyers was by no means large, the demaand was very firm, and in some instances is per quarter advance was obtained for se lected runs of both red and white. Foreign Wheat was in active request at is per quarter more money, with a fair average quantity on offer. There was a very steady inquiry for all kinds of Barley, and the late improvement in value was firmly supported. There was only a moderate inquiry for Malt, at Monday's currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas were quite as dear, with a fair trade. Indian Corn was is higher, and the best town made Flour was seiling at 85s per 2801hs; American ditto, 52s to 55s per 1961b5.

OBTAINING PROPERTY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES —Josenh Clarkson, aged 31, and W. E. Schotlander, aged 34, descraied as agents, were indicted for unlawfully obtaining, under false pretences, twenty-two dozen cocoa-nut mats, arid other arti cles, - value 106 , ., the property of Edward Rolle and another, with a view to cheat them of the same. The prisoners wereacquitted. There was nothing el►e before the Court this morning of the least interest. The session terminated early to-day. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Mary Hateard, a decent-looking middle-aged woman W 33 in licted for Sealing a blanket from her ready-furnished lodgings. bhe said she was induced to pledge the article after having fasted for upwards of two days. Once she was in very in dependent circumstances, but sunk latterly into poverty. She called several witnesses, who gave her an excellent character, and said they knew her when under more for tunate circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong re commendation of mercy, and the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Louisa King was indicted for fraudulently obtaining from Thomas Powell a quartern of flour and two loaves of bread. The prisoner called on the prosecutor, and said she wanted the bread and flour for a lady named Freere. The prosecutor gave her them without making any inquiries as to who Mrs. Freere was or where she lived. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up to the jury, said the question was whether the prosecutor had used such due dili gence and caution as the law required to establish such charges, in asking no question as to who or what the perso❑ was, whose name was used, although such a name might be amongst his customers. The foreman, after a moment's consultation with his fel low-jurors, said, we acquit the prisoner on the ground that due caution had not been used by the prosecutor. John James Parker alias William Medhurst pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a prismatic compass and leather case, value 31. Os. 6d., the property of William Joseph Curtis. The facts of the case have appeared in the columns of The Sun. Mr. MILLER appeared in behalf of the prisoner to induce a mitigation of punishment. He stated that the prisoner had been once in a most extensive a n d respectable business as a druggist, and upon the engineering mania being so pre valent about two or three years ago, he turned his attention to surveying and engineering, in which he got on very well so long as the railway speculations lasted, but upon that fall ing off, the prisoner became very much distressed, and his wife and children being in extreme want and destitution, he was induced to commit the theft. The JUDQE said, the lowest penalty considering the nature 01 the robbery, wa s t wo months' imprisonment and hard labour. William O'Connor pleaded guilty to stealing twelve printed books and other articles, value Is. 6d., the property of Henry Hetherington. The prosecutor was the well-known publisher, and the prisoner had been in his employment, and it appearing that this was his first offence, The COURT mitigated his sentence to one month's impri sonment and hard labour. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) TIM DERBY CLuns.—Two members of the Swan Derby Club, held at Mr. Middleton's, Long-acre, applied to Mr. Henry for assistance to recover a " ticket" for the favourite, Van Tromp, drawn for them, or one of them, and obtained in their names, without their authority, by another person,who sold it to a Mr. Barnow for 2/. Mr. HENRY said that he regarded Derby Clubs as con nected " with gambling and horse-racing,,' and he could therefore give them no assistance. The applicants said that this was a case of fraud or rob bery, and they thought it called fur the interference of a magistrate. Mr. HENRY thought otherwise, and said the law did not protect property acquired by gambling. The club must settle the matter amongst themselves. The applicants said the treasurer was of opinion that every prize must be given up to the holder of the ticket entitled to it, because the tickets were saleable, and the club was not competent to settle disputes as to the right of possession in the actual holder. They thought it hard that the magistrate would not interfere, and that they should be robbed with impunity. Mr. HENRY could not help it. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) BENEVOLENCE.—We are requested to acknowledge the re ceipt of a sovereign from " H. C.," and the like sum from Mr. Tilt, cne of the ushers of the Court, for the unfortunate individuals named Marshall, whose appalling case appeared in The Sun of Monday and Tuesday last. George Burridge, a journeyman carpenter, formerly in the employment of Mr. Mills, a builder, was charged with steal ing several brass bolts and other valuables, the property of his late master. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was in his employ ment at wages varying from 1/. 13s. to 1/. 18s., from the 20th of March to the 24th of April last, when he left. Witness had been robbed of nine brass bolts, used for mahogany fold ing doors, and valued at about 12s. each, a quantity of lead, and other property. The prisoner was not, however, the suspected party until a large piece of Spanish mahogany was missing. Witness then procured the assistance of the police, and on proceeding to the prisoner's lodgings, the piece of mahogany, one of the stolen brass bolts, and a chisel, were found in his tool chest. The prisoner acknowledged that he had stolen the brass bolt. Mr. BROUGHTON said that he felt it his duty to send the prisoner for trial, but that he must be brought up again next week, in order that in the interim the officer should have an opportunity of instituting inquiries touching the other stolen property. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS_DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XXI. The Committee (Sir James Graham, chairman) met at twelve, and without hearing further evidence passed the preambles of the following Bills.— The Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley (No. 1). The Shropshire Union Railways and Canal (lease to the Lon don and North-Western). The Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley (No. 2). The London and North-Western (Portobello and Wolver hampton branch). The clauses were then agreed to, and the Chairman hav ing been ordered to report the Bills to the House, the Com mittee broke up. GROUP XXXVII. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND (HARRO GATE BRANCH, EXTENSION , AND TER MINUS). The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock. Mr. Birkenshaw was called to show the advantages of the proposed extension line. It was proposed to make the sta tion nearer the town of Harrogate than authorised by the Bill obtained in the session of 1845. The objection of the Duchy of Lancaster had been removed, and the only persons opposing the Bill at present were the Ecclesiastical Com missioners. This closed the case on behalf of the promoters. LEEDS AND Tnnzsn (X..NAMESBOROUGH AND nonotrannrcanGr. BRANCH). Mr. BAINTS then opened the else on behalf of this line. At the conclusion of his addrees evidence was called on he half of the parties. The ecmmittee then adjourned till twelve to- morrow. GROUP XLVII, The Committee met tl►is day in Room 38; Viscount Cour. .enay (chairman). GLASGOW, AIRDRIE, AND MONICLAND JUNCTION. Mr. Robert Stewart, member of the Glasgow Town Coun cil, and Mr. Tennent, also a magistrate, were examined again2t the promoters. They stated that the universal feel ing in Glasgow was against the crossing the public green of Glasgow in the manner proposed V the promoters of the Bill. Public meetings had been held against the proposition, and petitions had been presented to Parliament against the prvject. In the prayer of these petitions the witnesses fully agresd. THE 44 BOSJESMANS," OR BUSH PEOPLE.—A group of live of these " interesting" people was exhibited on Monday evening, at Exeter-hall, Strand, to a large assembly of the curious, and a lecture delivered on their nature, properties, propensities, and habits, by Dr. Knox. It is said that they were landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, and that this is their first appearance in Europe. Without saying that Europe will be, or not be, profited by their arrival, it may be affirmed that nothing, even in this age of "strange and unnatural" importations is more curious that this stunted family of African dwarfs. In ap pearance they are little above the monkey tribe, and scarcely better than the mere brutes of the field. They are conti nually crouching, warming themselves by the fire, chatter ing or growling, smoking, &c. They are sullen, silent, and savage—mere animals in propensity, and worse than animals in appearance. The exhibition is, however, one that will and ought to attract. The admirers of " pure nature " can confirm their speculations on unsophisticated man, and woman also, or repudiate them, by a visit to these speci mens. They are well calculated to remove prejudices, and make people think alight of the times when "wild in his woods the noble savage ran." In short, a more miserable set of human beings—for human they are, nevertheless— was never seen. They are about to perform, at the future exhibitions of them, some curious feats of activity, and of their modes of attack and defence, which will be worth at tention. TRINITY TERM.—On Saturday Trinity Term com mences (the last term before the Long Vacation) when the Courts of Equity and Common Law will resume their sittings at Westminster. In the Queen's Bench, in the Special case and Demurrer list, there are four matters for the judgment of the Court, and 61 for argument. In the new trial paper there are 76 rules for argument, and seven for judgment, in cluding the railway case of " Woolmer e. Toby." With the exception of four rules, the earliest one was obtained in Michaelmas Term, thereby showing a diminution i n th e arrears of the Court. The Demurrer Paper of the Court of Common Pleas contain twenty-six matters, and in the Remanet Paper there are three enlarged rules, besides seventy rules for new trials, two applications for new trials suspended, and eight for the decision of the Court. In the Court of Exchequer there is a good deal of business for the ensuing term. The Peremptory Paper has twenty-three rules ; of special cases there are two for judgment, and twenty-three for argument. In the Demurrer list there are two for judgment and sixty fur argument ; whilst in the New Trial Paper appear three fur judgment, including one of Michaelmas Term last, and as many as seventy-six for argument, commencing from Hilary Term. Trinity follows very shortly after Easter term, and is not of long duration, nor are the sittings after term or great length, on account of the summer circuits. REMARK ABLE PROPIIECY OF COBBETT.—WhiIe speaking of Ireland, Cobbett said that the dirty weed, allud ing to the potato, would be the curse of Ireland. " How su ?" replied Dr. Smith : " What must the people do without it ? They live upon it. They have had it in cultivation 180 years.' Cobbett, answered. " They must go back to the same food they were accustomed to live upon previous to the general cultivation of the dirty weed, and that is to grain, as wheat, oats, rye, &c. You have four millions of souls in Ireland, and eight millions of acres of uncultivated land. The ground must be drained and brought into cultivation, and you must again grow wheat, oats, rye, &c. The potato wfll not last more than twenty years, when it will work itself out, and then you will see to what a state Ireland will be reduced. You mint return to the grain crops, and Ire land, instead of b e i ng th e most degraded, will become one of the finest countries in the world. You may live to see my words prove true, bat I never shall." JEROME BUONAPARTE. The following is the petition presented by D.I. Odilon Barrot to the Chamber of Deputies from Jerome Bu&naparte, ex- King of Westphalia, praying to be permitted to return to France : " Death has struck down all the brothers of the Emperor, except one, who now addresses himself to France through her representatives. At the end of my career, on the brink of the tomb, I fulfil a sacred duty of a citizen and a father, in doing all that depends on me to return to a country which 1 love above everything, and in not refraining from any step which may have the effect of allowing my children to enter it, and even enable them to serve it. This is the first time since I quitted the field of the battle of Waterloo that I address myself to the country. If I have not done that sooner, it is because having brothers I was not the sole arbiter of my conduct; it was because I believed that time itself would bring this reparation. Unfortunately that has not been the case, and the Government has only lately shown that it is more than ever decided to employ the dangerous arms that were given to it at critical moments. In 1814 the laws of exile, of proscription and spoliati on , came w i t h t h e foreigner; the relations of the Emperor shared his misfur tunes and those of France ; we were not tired, but were stricken as chiefs, as individuals in every way, and much beyond the limits recognised by the laws of all civilised countries. In 1830 France rose; her revolution promised to repair all injustices; but the ostracisms of the Napoleons was maintained ; that was, it was said, a temporary mea sure, necessitated by the agitated state of France; the Go vernment only desired an arm to use in case of need, but with tenderness. In fact, several members of the Emperor's family went. to France, and travelled freely in it. At that period the King of Rome, the son of the Emperor, still lived; and the reason of state might have been invoked with an appearance of good faith. At present, however, after seven teen years' reign, in the midst of the greatest calm, not only are rigorous measures maintained, but they are aggravated, the Government having just refused the youngest of my sons, the permission to pass some days at Paris to arrange affairs of a private nature Nothing can justify such a re fusal, for I declare here in the most formal manner, and on my honour, that never at any time, either directly or in directly, have my children or mvself been mixed up in the political dissensions of France. The last of my children was born ten years after the promulgation of the law which proscribes him. I only demand to enter under the common law, and to enjoy all my rights as a French citizen, being ready to fulfil all the duties. From the moment at which by this demand, I submit myself to the general law by re cognising it, neither exceptional position, nor political dan ger can reasonably be invoked; injustice or a blind and in credible sentiment of fear can only be relied on. The past conduct of the Chamber in this question is favourable to me; it has on several occasions shown itself disposed to abolish the exile of the Emperor's relations. In 1845 especially peti tions demanding our readmission to France were unanimously referred to the Ministers, after a favourable report, and the members of the present Cabinet who were present at the sitting did not make any opposition. What I demand of you is just; I address myself without distinction to all opinions, and on the inviolable ground of common law and equity, there cannot be parties in the French Cham bers. The repeal of the law which exiles me, exacts un doubtedly the accord of the three Powers; but I cannot doubt that a favourable manifestation of the Chambers would draw forth the adhesion of the executive power. Citizen, soldier, or King, as proscribed, and as an exile, I have always been ready to make all sacrifices, except that of re nouncing the worship of the country. Will you prevent me from dying in France, in the midst of my fellow citizens, of my old brethren in arms? Will you refuse me the consola tion of guiding my sons in the servi;:es that they may render to their country? Will it, in short, be proved that justice will never be rendered me, for the only reason that I am brother of the Emperor. I request the Chamber of Deputies, for myself and my children, to effect by taking into con sideration my demand, the repeal of the law which exiles us." POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. DISSENT ON THE VOTE FOR MAKING THE WHOLE POOR RELIEF BILL FOR IRELAND PERPETUAL, MAY 16, 1847. 1. Because it appears to us rash and inexpedient to enact that as permanent a measure which, in the judg ment of many, even amorg those who recommend the Bill for the adoption of the Legislature, is admitted to be a perilous experiment. 2. Because the reversal by the House of a decision of its Committee, adopted on deliberation, and after full debate, is calculated to lessen the authority of this branch of the Legislature and the weight justly due to its con sistency and the wisdom of its final judgment. 3. Because these objections apply with still greater force when the majority of those who are more imme diately connected by birth and property with Ireland have expressed their conviction, or their serious appre hension, that this measure cannot be carried into effect in many districts without leading to the general pau perism of the peasantry, and without absorbing so large a portion of the funds which employ labour as to check industry and retard improvement. 4. Because the recognition by law of the out-door re lief of the able-bodied poor as a permanent principle is at variance with all Parliamentary and official authori ties, and is at variance, likewise, with the experience which late events have furnished to this House and to the public. _ 5. Because the difficulty of carrying into permanent effect a system of out .door relief for the able-bodied, more especially when administered through the medium of relieving officers, acting singly and necessarily, in many places, without adequate protection, appears but too likely to lead to attempts at violence and intimidation, rendering the free and impartial exercise of judgment in all cases difficult, in many cases dangerous, and, it may be feared, in some impossible. 6. Because it appears to us that it is imprudent on the part of the Legislature, in a case like the present, when even the most sanguine are doubtful of the result, to hold out to the Irish public that assured expectation of the success of the measure which the enactment of this Bill as a permanent law is but too well calculated to create and to fusty.

IRISH BAcoN.—We are given to understand that the bacon which is received from the sister island, having been cured in, and being the original production of that country, is of a much better description that was formerly the case, not in the quality of the meat, which was always of an excellent de,cription, but in the mode in which the article is prepared, being divested of a great deal of the coarse fat which causes it to be somewhat unpalatable, especially when compared with that prepared in Wiltshire and other English counties celebrated for its production, and less esteemed than that cured in our own country. Now that the vast alterations in the tariff have caused the introduction of so large a quantity of bacon in a cured state from the United States of America, and also from Holland and many of the German States of Europe, this was no doubt found to be advisable and necessary in order to pre vent the diminution of the trade in a branch of supply of so much importance td Ireland ; and the consequence is, that owing to the great scarcity of bacon which has existed throughout the winter, consequent upon the intense heat of the past summer preventing the cure of the usual home , isfi l ic r t a io: supplies, anti completely- spoiling a considerable quantity that which was prepared, the call for Irish bacon l: has been great, and it has been introduced into doinesticusebiTi the most respectable quarters with ver , IREFIELD MURDERS.—B;IRgEreraf 77. d 1- -rsil ' u r Ec h c e es r As e i mains of the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Wraith were unfortunate t EL sa p t interred here in one grave, and those of their servant maid, Caroline Ellis, in another, on Saturday, amidst a large concourse of spectators.

WEST. CINCINNATI. The following are extracts from a letter, dated Feb. 20th, 1847, recently received by a gentleman of Ash burton, from a friend of his residing in the United States of America, who left the neighbourhood of .Ash burton, about two years since. He resides at Cheviot, mar Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio:— " I am sorry to hear of the distress at present existing in Ireland, and some parts of Scotland. I would fain hope that the accounts I have read in the Cincinnati newspapers are exaggerated, although they are said to be extracts from the English and Irish papers; however, if only ono half is true, the suffering and misery must be intense. Meetings have been held at many place' (already) in this country, and no doubt will soon become general, to devise the best means of relieving the distress of the poor Irish. A meeting was held a few days since in Cincinnati, convened by the Mayor; 4,000 dollars ere subscribed on the sp o t, a nd committees were appointed for the different w ar d s t o rece i ve subscriptions, either n money or provisions. One provision merchant offered ;e, give 1,000 in provisions, provided that nine oth ers wo e!d do the same; which noble offer will, no doubt, meet with the required response, in order to lessen the misery 'jiie old attendant on famine in that unhappy country. T.belie. adage 'ltis an ill w i n d th a t bl ows nobody geed; is te of rally true, as it re gar d s A mer i ca; as in consequence crop the scarcity of gr a i n , an d th e failure of the potato crop in Europe, milli ons o f d o ll ars w ill b e added to the Yawl of the crops and provisions of the United States,e" perhaps no portion o f it w ill d er i ve so great an advan tage in proportion as this western part of the countrT.-; it is the Western States that the bulk of the supplie s must come from. Hence there is an advance vary.lolls. from 15 to 30 per cent. on almost all kinds of agricthiltat, ral produce here, within the last few months' , e n v/ last fall, was, sold for 45 to 58 cents per bushel, " t fetches 80 cents (a cent is about the value of an Eng Ist! halfpenny). Indian corn, at the same time, sold for 25 cents; it now fetches 35 per bushel (that is , i n the ea)! Potatoes are also advanced from 37 to 50 cents per, bushel. Beef from 4 to 6 cents per lb. Pork abo u t the same. Mutton is not much thought of here ; th e quality in general is certainly very inferior but the English, consequently it is but little in demand; but tne beef and pork are as good as can be desired; moreovq, poultry is exceedingly pl e ntif u l an d cheap, and gen erall l good. Cincinnati is a rapidly increasing place; there have been great improvements in the short time that a have known it ; independ e ntly of th e additions node to it, old buildings have been taken down, and (Ab ie e l erected on the same site s more su it a bl e f o r the wan,; the inhabitant, and corr es p on di ng to i ts gr owing " a T i ; portance.

The plain matter of fact is, in this count(', there is room, ample room for all ; here an increase t i e population is an increase of wealth, by auginentiefuxii demand for the necessaries, the comforts, and the ries of life.

How many small farmers ar e th e re that are known you, and to me also, bordering on Dartmoor , that have large families, who are careful, steady, hard working men, who are spending their best energies and the p rime of their life without bettering in the least their cond ition • or circumstances in life, unable to do anything for their children in reference to putting them into business, but who, as soon as they get married, sink to a level with the common day-labourer I How different would be their prospects if they could only summon fortitude enough to undergo a few hardships and privations for e short time, to secure a future and permament good ; those privations would refer to social matters almost fear eh x 2te e r u • necessariesfi v el starving they - ef here—but life—there cr le no e • —b u t they hi referencese,yhawn human h lnd a l3 t .evsepre consista t . o f ”e"' k in o food of e or I absence of suitable soci e ty p i i nc i pally, and - improve every year from the great influx of emigration, and consequently the i ncrease o f popu l at i on . I fancy there are not m an y p ersons i n E ng l an d w h o possess feelings similar t o th ose o f one o f t h e fi rst se ttlers in th e western country, on the vale of the Mississippi. It is said of him that he retired scores of miles further bacl . in the woods than any other person, built his but , and resided there for some time ; at -last, being out on a shooting excursion, he discovered that some other pers° lt . had settled about fifteen miles from his own h ut, a " which he was exceedingly annoyed, and observed it sves high time for him to start further,—it would not do, he said,—he wanted elbow-room. Of course, I canner vouch for the truth of this story; but after all Ido assure . you that the extent of country here exceeds the eulnPr d : hension of persons living in such a small spot as Eve° t • I pereeive from the Commissioners' report for the sa le o public or Congress lands, there was remaining i n the , market, and unsold, up to June 30, 1845, the enormous quantity of 133,307,457 acres in twelve of the western and southern states. This report does not include . Texas, which is as large as the kingdom of France, Ana which is now incorporated, and part and parcel of the - United States; so that I say, the extent of this country almost exceeds comprehension. The length of the rivers, too, corresponds in a measure with the extent of country; thus, for instance, you can step into a steam-boat at Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, and take a trip to the Gulf of Mexico, 2,161 miles direct. From Pittsburgh to New Orleans is 104 miles less, New Orleans being that distance from the gulf. The Ohio river is 998 miles long, the Mississippi is navigable for large boats more than 2,000 miles, besides there are the Missouri, the Illinois, and a host of others, navigable for a greater or lesser distance.

W ith , regard to the difficulty of getting servant girls, you m a y be sometimes two or three weeks without one—you cannot get anything of a girl under a dollar and a half (6s. 3d.) per w ee k, an d some fi rst rate servan ts get Ss' 2 " . or Bs. 4d. per week, and these are mostly Germane or Dutch; consequently some o f t h em d o no t speak Eng lish or understand it very imperfectly indeed.
