HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIJ R THIS DAY. horning .. 0 minutes after 6. I Evening .. 20 annates after ti. UN, LONDON, was striking and instantaneous. A movement, par tially of panic and partially of indignation, was per ceptible among the phalanx of Irish representatives. Nor was the opposition without the sympathy or co operation of the English Members. Parliament scarcely ever evinced a greater unanimity in the re jection of any scheme. All sections of political opinion coincided in railing against the introduction of such a plan at a time so peculiarly unpropitious ; and the dismay and hostility manifested on its in felicitous introduction was scarcely inferior to that expressed by the followers of EDWARD I. when startled by the voice of the bard on the Welsh mountains. " Stout BENTINCK stood aghast in speechless trance; To arms! cried LAnonensuE, and couched his quiver ing lance." _ _ We are by no means amazed at the cordiality with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S proposition was rejected, although we must confess that there is no small de gree of justice in his vituperations of a considerable number of the Irish landowners. What, let us in quire, however, is the bare practicability of this extension of taxation beyond St. George's Channel? Is it practicable ? Would it--could it tend in any appreciable extent to the increase of the revenue ? There is an old stubborn proverb which informs us of the impossibility.of getting blood from a flint ; and we might as well practise phlebotomy upon a. flint as endeavour to extract money from a penniless community, or expect to obtain a per tentage upon incomes which the landlords find it impossible to gather in. Besides this, it becomes a question whether the landowners of Ireland are not already in a position somewhat analogous to the position of those among their brethren in England who are directly subject to the drain of the income-tax. A few syllables will at once explain our meaning. Pre suming that the income-tax, as levied in the other portions of the United King,lom, were extended to Ireland, a sum approaching to 450,0001. would be collected, seeing that the average rate of taxation upon incomes is 3 per cent., and calculating that the average rental of Ireland amounts annually to 15,000,000/. Now it is determined by Parliament, that out of the 10,000,000/. advanced for the salvation of the starving peasantry, the landlords of Ireland shall repay one entire half, namely 5,000,000/., in instalments, extending over a period of ten years. In point of fact, then, this is a fair equivalent for the revenue derivable from an income-tax. But Mr. ROEBUCK is solicitous to behold no longer such a striking disparity between the English landowner and Irish landowner that the former is subjected to an onerous pay ment from which the latter i 3 altogether released. We should rejoice ourselves to see the equalization of the burden upon both these:divisions of landlords, but — and just now that important but comprises everything —but we must first see the influx of rental into the pockets of both classes of landlords equalized. As the Honourable Member for Kilkenny very justly observed, the incomes of the landowners. of Ireland are now more than ever precarious, dwindling down in proportion to the deepening im poverishment of their afflicted tenants. And it is these precarious and attenuated incomes that the Hon. Member for Bath would submit to a strenuous and inexorable taxation. The extraordinary division of 121 to 26 evinced significantly enough the sentiments with which the House of Commons listened to this inappropriate proposal. Morally persuaded that the proprietary of Ireland should be called upon to assist earnestly in the extrication of their suffering fellow-countrymen from the abyss of their present desolation, we cannot coincide with Mr. ROEBUCK in regarding this as the most oppor tune moment fur enlarging the liability of 5,000,0001. which already impends over, and which they must liquidate within the ten years ensuing. From this consideration especially, and from the nearly unparalleled poverty of the island, we con gratulate the Irish landowners upon the decisive rejection of Mr. ROEBUCK'S scheme. At a period of less wretchedness, the question may be revived with more generosity and subjected to a calmer deliberation. When England .has so nobly and generously come forward for the relief of Irish destitution—when the Imperial Legislature has so readily sanctioned the expenditure of ten millions sterling for the purpose of providing food for the starving population, and work for the able-bodied labourers—when the English people have, with one accord, consented to the con tinuance of many burdens pressing most heavily on the national industry, and debarring the poorer classes of many of their humble comforts, and a subscrip• tion already exceeding 200,0001. sterling has been collected by voluntary contributions with the same benevolent object, it might have been expected that the recipients of this bounty would be actuated by feelings of gratitude towards their bene volent banefactors, and that they would at least re frain from slandering or uttering invectives against the Government or the people by whom such exten sive liberality has been evinced. It is, how ever, with the deepest regret that we find those who should know better things, who are the ap pointed pastors and teachers, and who possess the most unbounded influence over the people, de parting from their proper sphere, and heaping the most opprobrious epithets on the English Ministry and English 'people. Such a proceeding may be productive of the most mischievous consequences, not only in its effect upon the' minds of the Irish sufferers, but also on the contributors on this side of the Channel, who, seeing their gifts slighted and de spised, may be disposed to feel less favourably towards those who appear to be tainted with such culpable ingratitude, and to refuse to sturdy beggars what would most gladly be extended to more humble sup pliants. We trust, however, that the sentiments to which we have alluded, and: which are embodied in reso lutions adopted at a meeting of Roman Catholic clergymen recently held at Ballinrobe, and presided over by the Rev. JAMES WHALE, are not generally participated in ; nothing can possibly justify the use of language such as they have indulged in. What bas been well termed the anti-Russell mania must have attained a fearful pitch indeed, when we find persons who should be the most anxious to allay any irritation and to induce their flocks to bear with patience and submission the unavoidable privations and misery consequent upon the mysterious visitation by which they have been afflicted, calling on our SOVEREIGN to dismiss from her Councils those who have acted with such magnanimity towards Ireland, and styling them "the heartless and cruel Ministers, whose policy, unparalleled for indifference to human life, has brought one of the fairest portions of the empire to the verge of destruction, and consigned thousands of the youth of Ireland to a premature grave ;" and again, "of the alien spirit and alien feelings exhibited through alien functionaries, in carrying on the public works of the country, as affording a melancholy proof of hatred to Ireland and contempt of its feelings that have characterised the present, as well as all other alien Ministers." We should not have noticed this melancholy exhi bition were it not that it would be unjust to the people generally to let it be supposed that such was the feeling of a majority, or even of a numerous class. Those who are deeply afflicted should not have any necessary aid withheld on account of the indignation that must naturally be excited by the perusal of such a document. The "soup" should not be withdrawn from the famishing poor because those gentlemen have been pleased to term it "degrading and demoralising;" nor should other measures of relief he denied because it is stated "that they must be a mockery, unless the funds of the Established Church are devot ed to the purpose." Whatever may be the views of any classes in the sister kingdom as to the nature of the measures that should be adopted, however widely they may dissent from the policy of the Government, that dissent should be expressed in becoming and temperate language., and such as might be expected to proceed front the lips of Christian men. They may be well assured that such would have a far more beneficial effect, and be more calculated to attain the desired object, than a tirade of such senseless violence and vituperation as that to l which we have reluctantly adverted. The question of secondary punishments and trans portation was again last evening, in a desultory manner, brought under the notice of the House of Lords. Our readers are already aware that Earl GREY took occasion last week, in a speech of considerable length and ability, to communicate to their Lordships an TVESDAr iraportant change which the Gov ernment had deter mined upon making, for the ti vo years next ensu ing, in the system of trans] )ortation ; and that the main feature of the ahem; Lion proposed would consist in retaining prisoners, u nder the above sen tence, in this country, to be, in the first instance, confined in various penal establishments, conducted upon a plan better calculated than any hitherto pur sued to work the reformation of criminals, and then to expatriate them for the remainder of their sentences upon conditions advantageous .to themselves and the community at large. It was suggested, in the outset, that, before the Government undertook to adopt, as a general principle, so wide a departure from the-long established practice of carrying this species of criminal punishment into execution, they ought to introduce a Bill for the purpose, and obtain the approbation of Parliament in its favour. Earl GREY conceived this course would be highly inconvenient, and that it was not necessary. Last night the objection was re newed by Lords BROUGHAM (who announced that Lord LYNDHURST concurred in his view), STANLEY, ASHBURTON and ELLENBOr_OUGH. The force of it was, however, combated by the Marquis of LANS DOWNE, Lord CAMPBELL, and Earl GREY. Upon a review of the respective arguments, we consider the better and more constitutional plan would be to ob tain an Act of Parliament. Inasmuch as it will be laid down aa a general rule that, provided the criminal evinces an exemplary conduct, the period of his sentence will be commuted to one-half, the pre vailing effect of Earl GREY'S scheme will be to substitute imprisonment for transportatation. The change intended is, therefore, of a most important character. • Thi3 being so, Parliament should be con sulted, in order that some security should be had for uniformity, on the part of the Executive, in criminal proceedings, even where the alteration mooted is not originally designed to be rendered' a permanent one ; for Governments, as we know, are uncertain in their duration, and it is not desirable that their suc cessors in power should be left at liberty, according to a variety of individual views, to vary the mode in which the highest class of secondary punishment shall be enforced. Punishment, to be effectual, should be certain, and defined as accurately as possible in pro portion to the crime committed ; but, it appears to us, that this certainty, which is held to be one of the chief' elements of punishment that operate most satis factorily in restraint of crime, would be seriously compromised, were so large a discretion to be suffered to rest with the Executive as is herein recommended by the Colonial Secretary—a discretion, be it observed, not for exceptional cases, but to be exer cised with the view of influencing an entire change • in the existing system of transportation. Earl GREY urges that he means to enter upon the alterations, which he has outlined to Parliament, merely as an experiment to last for two years. This period would assuredly be too limited to give a fair trial to his scheme ; but, as we mainly approve of his Lordship's plan, whatever be the period to be fixed upon, we see no objection to the Senate's being invited to sanction it as an experimental measure. Not to seek for this assent would be establishing a precedent that might hereafter be turned to vicious purposes. An additional reason why Earl GREY should proceed by a Bill in this matter is furnished by the discordant views which it yesterday appeared are entertained amongst Peers of the highest legal attainments. If the Colonial Secretary and Lord CAMPBELL be 'right as to the position they have assumed, the question should be set at rest by a declaratory Bill. If otherwise, special powers should be conferred by an ori,;inal Act of Parliament. The sub ject is of far too grave a character to allow of its being summarily disposed of; it must undergo a thorough investigation. It is not sufficient to quote what has been done by former Secretaries of State ; for they appear to have already taken too much upon themselves. In conclusion, we quite agree with Lord AsranunToN that it would be strangely ano malous that the judges should go on, year after year, passing sentences which the Crown had pre determined not to execute. The prerogative of the Crown must not be unduly strained. Advice from Constantinople to the l8:11 February have been received. On the 17th an important modification took place in the Ca',act. The Minister of Finance, NAFIZ PACLIA , tendered his resignation, which was accepted by the SULTAN. The Councillor of the Grand Vizier, Set - um EFFENDI, was appointed Minister of Finance, and elevated to the dignity of Muchin, or Pacha with three tails. Satan.' EFFVNDI is considered one of the ablest men in Turkey, and his nomination to that post must tend to strengthen the Ministry. The whole of the corps diplomatique have expressed their approval of the conduct of the Turkish Govern ment in recalling its ambassador from Greece. An auto. graph explanatory letter from King OTHO had been re ceived by the SULTAN, but it was considered that it would meet with no attt ntiou. COLETTI, the Greek Minister, who has throughout these transactions been the mere tool of M. PISCA.TORY, the French Ambassador, hopes to drive Turkey into a war, in which case he reckons con fidently upon the assistance of France, but Turkey will most probably not go to war. She has ample means of revenging herself by fiscal measures directed against Grecian commerce—these she will adopt, and by so doing inflict more injury on Greece in one month than she could inflict by hostilities in a year. Madrid papers of the 2d instant have arrived. The debate on the Address continued in the Chamber of:Deputies.

MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 2.—The Three per Cents. the Five pe r C ents ., at 19 ; were done at 34 for cash ; t h e D e bt without interest, at G the Coupons, at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday M. FOULD developed, at some length, his proposition for expunging from the great book of the public debt the sum of 11,584,983 francs Three per Cent. Rentes redeemed by the Caisse d'Arr ondissement, or sinkin g fund, between July 1, 1833, and Dec. 31. 1846 ; these rentes, both in capital and arrears, to be annulled on the 22d of June, 1847. The Minister of Finance, in opposing the mo tion, contradicted the rumours that were in circulation, to the effect that the Treasury was unable to pay the half yearly dividend on the Five per Cents. due the 22d inst. On the contrary, never during the last twenty- six years had the resources of the Treasury been so abundant. On the sth of Match the cash available amounted to 45.000,000 E, bosid( s 73,000,000 f. in paper, in all 118,000,000 f. The Minister also declared that he . had no intention of raising a loan. The debate was then adjourned to Monday. The Journal des Debella states that Queen CHRISTINA will arrive iu Paris on the 15th. The same journal thus comments on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech on the Cracow question, in which the Noble Lord characterised the reiterated protest of the French Chambers, on the subject of the nationality of Poland as superfluous:— " For our part we =mot regard as useless that permanent protest periodically entered in its Address by our Legislature. it has its object and effect, were it only to prevent the pre scription of an inalienable right. We pertictly appreciate Lord J. Russell's motives in opposing Mr. Hume's motion, for its adoption would require the execution of an Act which is exclusively within the attributes of the Executive power. It is of little importance in our opinion, whether England continue or cease to pay 100,0001. to Russia; but what is of importance, and what will result from the debate, is, that England, through the organ of her representa tives, energetically protests against the violation of treaties. France, in particular, must benefit by these discussions, for they demonstrate to the world that she was not the first to infringe conventions more injurious to her than to any other country. Lord Palmerston, on a former occasion, said, in bolder terms than ever used in France, that if the treaty were violated on the Vi2tulp, it could be legitimately vio lated on the Rhine and on the Po. A day will probably arrive when the Powers who have despoiled and confiscated the last vestige of the independence of Poland will curse that hour of infatuation. But they would have it so. They have sowed wind, and may possibly reap storms, and, if so, they can only accuse their own insane avidity." The Cassini steam-frigate is fitting out at Toulon fur a private mission to La Plata, and is to sail on the 15th. The scarcity of grain stilt continues, and notwith standing the sums voted by Government and by the municipal councils for the relief of the destitute, the Cis tress still continues. The Journal de hi Meuse says— " A great number of farmers in Champagne expect to reap in June a certain quantity of early rye, which pro duces a good quality of bread. Thus, a few months only separate us from the period so impatiently expected,. when the fruits of the present year will afford us, we have every rea, on to hope, an ample compensation for the privations we now endure." The fall of one-half per cent., which took place on our Stock Exchange on Friday, astonished the speculators of Paris on Sunday ; particularly, as it was said to be founded on the state of relations of Greece and Turkey, on which not the slighest feeling of alarm was entertained in France. EVENING, MARCH ti t IM7. .l'. Another statement wasibat the news from London had occa sioned the fall; but except a decline in prices on the Bourse, brought about by the manoeuvres of the Bulls on Wednes day, nothing in the situation of affairs in France on that day justified an expectation that the London market would be tray weakness. " But for this circumstance." says a pri vate letter, " the speech of the Minister of Finance, yester day, would, from its satisfactory character, have caused a rise of a half per cent. to-day.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) DOWDLAY V. BORRODAILE. This cause, which came on for further directions, turned upon the construction of a covenant. The facts are as fol low :—Mr. Borrodaile, brother to the pr.:sent defendant, who is his executor, being desirous of providing for his wife and children, insured his life for a scm of 1,0001. in the London Life Association. This took place on the 30th of May, 1828. He subsequently executed the covenant in question, by which he stipulated to pay the premium, and not to commit any act that might vitiate the policy. This sum of 1,000/. was then settled in trust for the testator's wife and children. On the lith of March, 1838, he threw himself into the river and was drowned. Mr. Borrodaile, the executer of the deceased, then brought an action against the Insurance Company for the, recovery of the policy, but the defendants obtained a verdict on the ground thE.t by the act of suicide the plaintiff was not en tijled to recover. 'The arguments being concluded, His LORI/M . IIP delivered judgment to-day. There might be some dispute as to the terms of the veruict ; but with that part of the question he bad not to deal. The case before the Court was of a different character. Tha present bill was filed by creditors for the administration of the estate of Mr. Borrodaile, deceased. It was contended that the effect of the covenant executed by the deceased should be to fasten an obligation on his assets fora sum of 1,0001. He could not help thinking, looking at the cove nant, that the intention of the testator in executing that instrument was to provide this particular suns for his wife and any children he might have by the marriage which he then contemplated, without encroaching upon his other assets. However, as the question was one that required considerable deliberation, he would df la); his final judgment for a few days.--The cause was then postponed. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE W. 11. OSBORNE.—IMPOSTANT DECISION. This was a special meeting, appointed by an order of the Court of Review, for the unusual object of setting a side a dividend declared at a former meeting, and to allow the present claimants, who were the assignees of W. H. O s bor n e, the elder, under his insolvency, to come in and tender a claim fl,r 10,4611. Os. 61, and prove, under the estate of the bankrupt, goldsmith and jeweller, St. James-street, for the whole, or so much thereof as should appear to the Commis sioner they were entitled to do. Mr. Nicifous appeared to support the proof in a .deed which had been entered into between the bankrupt and his father, W. H. Osborne the elder. whereby the latter agreed to transfer, assign, and set over all the stock in trade and effects, and the five-sixths of the business, to which he was entitled, in consideration of the bankrupt undertaking to pay an annuity to the said Osborne the elder, of 525 L, and in the event of his decease to pay an annuity of 100'. during the life of the wife of the said Osborne the elder; also to pay an annuity to Henry Saltwell and his sisters of 3851., payable by Osborne the elder for money lent; and finally to pay the sum of 2,5001., money due by Osborne the elder to Messrs. Strachan and Co., bankers, Temple-bar. It appeared, in the course of the inquiry, that the deed had not been enrolled. 111 r. CooEssubmitted, that by the 53 George 111. cap. 141, any deed of annuity was null and void unless it was enrolled in the High Court of Chancery. There were, however, ex ceptions in the 2d section of the Act for annuities granted by will, or under a marriage settlement, or for the advantage of children, or upon freehold or copyhold property of greater value than the annuity, and all other annuities or charges, or where such should be made without reference to pecuniary consideration. The Learned Counsel contended that the present deed did not come within any of the exceptions of the Act, and that the general words of the Act were clear, conclusive, and comprehensive, an d that consequently the deed was null and void. Mr. Ntdiou.s - argued that there was not such a pecuniary consideration; that it could be enrolled under the Act; and that at all events, if the deed was inoperative as to the an nuitiep, it could not invalidate it as regarded the other part of the claim. His Horroun yesterday said he was strongly of opinion that the deed ought to have been enrolled, and also that the assignees of Osborne the elder could not enforce the claim for the debt to Messrs. Strachan. He would, however, re serve his opinion for consideration. His HONOUR now delivered judgment rejecting the proof. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The March general sessions for the county of Middlesex, commenced this morning, at 10 o'clock, in the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant Judge and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar contained •the names of 79 prisoners, five of whom were charged with misdemeanour, and the remainder with felony. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in addressing the grand jury, expressed his satisfaction, that since the last time he addressed them, there had been a Bill brought into Parlia ment, on the subject of criminal jurisprudence, but he had not as yet had an opportunity of acquainting himself with its provisions. Ile trusted, however, that it indicated a move in the right direction, and that a better system would supersede the old feudal principles so long prevailing. In dealing with children convicted of even the pettiest larceny, they had g, ne on the principle of inflicting punishment, and punishment alone, without the slightest re gard for those means of moral suasion likely to effect a re formation, or act upon a child's mind. He would a-k the gentlemen of the grand jury, as parents themselves, whether such a system as that adopted at Parkhurst was likely to reform the juvenile offenders sent there. In that prison were a number of solitary cells, in which the boys were locked up for four months after their admission, by the way (as was stated) of preparing them for their future reformation, and while there, they saw no one except the governor or chap lain, had plenty of knitting work to do, and also plenty of good books to read; but the misfortune was, that previous to putting those books into their hands, they had never been taught to understand them. He thought such treatment tended to harden and stupify many of those unfortunate children, and that a milder system, in which rewards suitable to childish capacities would be the stimulant instead of the abstract idea of becoming good and respectable members of society some twenty or thirty years hence. One of the rewards adopted as a stimulus to the boys in that prison was, that if well conducted, they were rewarded by being allowed to communicate with their friends and relatives, but in his opinion nothing could be more absurd, for too many of these unfortunate children bad neither friends nor relatives in the world. Many persons seemed to treat the suggestions for the reformation of juvenile offenders by mi:der means as a vi , ionary scheme, but the same was said with respect to the proposals of those advocating moral power over physical coercion in the treatment of the insane, and he felt sure that the result would be as successful in one ease as in the other. William Henry Vain and Catherine Sullivan were indicted for stealing two shirts, the property of the guardians of the poor of the Stepney union. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Ballantine, who attended on the part of the guardians, that both the prisoners were pauper inmates of the Mile-End workhouse, the female prisoner being employed in the laundry, and on the 26th of February she was observed by another pauper, to give the two shirts to the prisoner Vain, who hid them under his bed ding. He was searched as he was in the act of going out, in about three days afterwards, when the shirts were found con cealed under his coat. The jury at unce returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoners were each sentenced to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour for six months. Ann Page, for stealing a drinking glass, the property of Mr. William Jarman, the landlord of the Hop-pole public house, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. James Cremoning for picking the pocket of Reginald Robert Walpole, was sentenced to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. GRAND HIGHLAND FANCY COSTUIJE AND FULL• DRESS BALL, AT WILLIS'S Rooms, IN AID OF THE FUNDS FOR THE DISTRESSED HIGHLANDERS.—On Thursday next there will be given, at Willis's Rooms, a grand Highland ball, in aid of the funds collecting for the distressed Highlanders. The list of patrons is headed by Prince Albert, and contains the names of almost all the noblemen and gentlemen connect:d with the Highlands at present in town. Among the stewards, too, we find the names of some of the most influential Highlanders located in London. That the ball will be fully attended, and the funds for the relief of the distressed Highlanders be greatly benefited, we cannot for a moment doubt. It has about it the two great elements of success—nationality and charity. Every Highlander will remember the old cry " Shoulder to shoulder," which has carried them so frequently on to victory. Bo that the watchword now in the cause of charity. Highlanders of London, your brethren in the north are in distress. On to the rescue ! Shoulder to shoulder ! DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—It is confidently stated, by persons who ought to be well-informed on the subject, that the present Parliament will be brought to a close by means of a dissolution about the end of June, or the beginning of July. The registration returns are mentioned as being in the opinion of the Government, sufficiently iu its favour to justify this appeal to the country.—Post. DEATII OF MR. WILLIAM ASTELL, M.P. FOR BED FORDSIIIRE.—This venerable Member of the Lower House, whose name has for the last forty years been so familiar in commercial as well as political circles, expired on the after noon of Sunday l a st, a t Everton ouse, aged 73, after a brief illness. Mr. Astell for years carried on extensive busi ness in the City. He was a director for a considerable period of the East India Company, was a governor of the Russian Company, and a shareholder in other commercial under takings. Mr. Astell was what is termed a Tory of the old school. ------- The Antwerp papers state that cereal and other alimentary goods continue to take the lead in the Flemish markets, and to have great influence on the value of colonial produce, as there is no class of persons that do not occupy themselves more or less with the former. Rice, although consumed in smaller quantities than at any former period, was rising fast in pries, and following rapid l y in the wake of the markts for grain. The latest purchases had been at a sensible advance, but sneenlators were nevertheless in no de gree deterred in their dealingc. They purchased freely, and a vast number of bags had changed hands. Little additional information has been circulated respecting the North of England Joint-Stock Banking Com pany (Newcastle), the notes of which were not paid on Sa turday by the London and Westminster Bank, the metropo litan house of agency. It appears, however, that the deposits held by the concern amount to the large stun of 300,0004 so that it is greatly to be hoped that arrangements may be by some means aevised for carrying on the business of the bank. Tne inconvenience in the locality of the head office and in those of its several branches will otherwise prove excessive. The branches are at Alnwick, Berwick-on-Tweed, •Blytb, Durham, Hexham, Morpeth, North and South Shields, S un _ derland, and Wooler. INCOMES OF METROPOLITAN SURGEONS.—At the last return unde r the Income-tax Act, no f ewer than thirty surgeons practising in London admitted that their professional earnings amounted to 10,0001. per annum each ; and of these, t hree'were upwards of 20,1500/. each. , ` - ;;..4 -, ; ..,4 . .I.iee . ~,, mt , . 4,4 4 ... rk ..v , ' 7° ll S ... r .

Lord LANSDOWNE, Lord PALMERSTON, Lord AUCKLAND, and other Ministersleft town, about nine o'clock this morning, to attend the QUEEN'S Privy Council, at Osborne House, appointed to be held this afternoon, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of a general fast in consequence of the prevailing famine. The Ministers started from the Vauxhall station by a special train of the South-Western Railway, and another special train has been ordered at Gosport this afternoon, in order to reconvey the Ministers from the Isle of Wight to town. The Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Glasgow, complaining of the influx of Irish paupers. His Lord ship took the occasion of stating to the House how little the Irish landlords had done for the relief of the existing distress. Some of the wealthy barristers of Dublin, whose tenantry were employed on public works, did not even answer the application which was made to them to subscribe for the relief of the existing distress; and a wealthy dignitary of the Church, who received 4501 a year from land in the county of Cork, contributed the munificent sum of 1/. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL and the Marquis of Lox • DONDERRY complained of these attacks upon the Irish landlords, who were burdened with marriage settlements and various other obligations. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Hull,, praying for an alteration in the criminal law. In answer to Lord STANLEY, it was stated by Earl GREY that the pnnisbment of transportation would not be abolished; it would continue to be the same precisely as it was at present, with but one difference, namely, the place where one part of the sentence should be endured• The penal labour would be inflicted in this country under the immediate observation of the Government, where they would control and check the abuses which took place, but the convict would be discharged in Australia, under the same control as he was placed by the present system. This, he imagined, could be effected without an Act of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM denied that it could. Lord CAMPBELL considered that all that the Govern. ment proposed to do might be effected without an Aci of Parliament. A desultory conversation ensued, which was put an end to by The LORD CDANCELLOR moving that a Select Com mittee be appointed to inquire into the execution of the criminal law with respect to transportatian, and espe• chilly with respect to juvenile offenders ; which was agreed to. • The Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill was (after certain amendments had been agreed to) read a third time and passed, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE gave notice that, after Easter, he would move a resolution pledging the House to the repeal of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act. Mr. HumE gave notice of a motion to refer the Irish Miscellaneous Estimates to a Select Committee. On the motion that the House go into Committee on the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK moved a resolution to the effect that any plans of relief for the distress of the Irish poor, by means of loans to the owners of property in Ireland, would be unjust and impolitic, unless accompanied by a system of taxation which would subject such property to .the burdens already imposed upon all property throughout Great Britain. Sir B. HALL seconded the motion. Mr. LABOUCHERE was not prepared to deny, as a general principle, that Ireland ought to be taxed like this country, but he thought it would be a singular resolution for the House to come to at this period, when the distress in Ireland was unexampled. He could not, therefore, support the proposition. After a few words from lir. SHAW, Mr. J. O'CoNNELL said he was for tax:n; those who left Ireland, but not those who remained, and did their duty as resident gentry. Mr. BAILLIE was opposed to giving out-door relief to the able-bodied labourer. Mr. HUME supported the motion. jiir ROBERT PEEL did not consider this a fitting occa sion to enter on the discussion of the question. He did not object to the abstract principle, but the difficulties of Ireland were not to be met by a resolution of this kind. Lord JOHN Russ Eta. had on previous occasions stated the objections which existed to the imposition of an income-tax on Ireland. He thought great credit was due to the Irish people for the reiignation and patience with which they had borne their afflictions. Mr. SMITH o'l3amx considered that the Hon. Member for Bcth had done more for the cause of repeal that evening than the Young Ireland party bad done in many months. After a few words from Mr. CALLAGHAN, Lord GEORGE BENTINCE expressed his regret that the amount of money to be advanced to the landed proprietors of Ireland was not even larger than had been proposed. Mr. B. Escorr thought the time had come when equal taxation should take place. Mr. M. Mxi.NEs did not think the present a fitting time for imposing a poor-law upon Ireland. Mr. MUNTZ would have supported the motion had it been a substantial one, but as it led to nothing, he could not support it. After a few observations from several Hon. Members, the House divided, when the numbers were— For the original motion For the amendment Majority 95 The House then went into Committee ; the whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be reported on Wednesday next. The other orders having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Two o'clock. Lively and humorous ai was the speech d elivered yesterday evening by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bath, we are gratified that the pro position which it embodied received such an imme diate and decided negative. As the Right Hon. Baronet, the late Premier, observed towards the close of the discussion, although the question put by Mr. Roiancx. was of the highest importance, this was most assuredly not the fittest moment for its con sideration. T o d escr i be the gist of the proposal in plain language, it amounts to a demand that a rigid system of taxation should be imposed upon Ireland in the very midst ,of the cr i s i s b y which its fortunes have been rendered• insolvent.

The West India mail-steamer has not yet been announced, but it will be remembered that she has met with very con trary uinds. 1 tic loss of the Tiber steamer has occasioned quite a gloom in shipping circles, though it is a happy circumstance that it was attended with so little loss of life. earties well ac quainted with the locality where this unfortunate disaster has occurred, concur in the statement as to the extreme danger to which vessels are exposed there, and with the prevalence of fog, of course that danger mitt have been greatly increased. It may be mentioned es a circumstance which at the present moment is of sonic importance, seeing the gene , al failure of the potato crups, that the dist inguised philosopher, Baron Humboldt, proposes, with the sanction of the Prussian Government, to carry out a systematic arrangement of meteorological observations in Germany, making available the telegraphs upon the different railways. The object and the means proposed for its accomplishment appear to be alike excellent. We regret to state that the North of England Joint-Stock Bank at Newcastle has been unable to make up matters, so as to prosecute its business, and, c , nsequently, that it has suspended payment at head-quarters. The intelligence of this event, which was of necessity partly anticipated, reached town this morning. The Stock Market has rallied a little this morning, and the accounts from Paris are considered to be rather more favourable in respect to the position of the Treasury. Con sols have ranged from 89% to 891 for present transfer, and from 89 3 / 4 to 69,4 tbr Account. The scrip of Consols is % to prem., being also a partial rally.
