were then upon the table of the House, and had been ordered to be printed, and in the course of two days they would be in the hands of every Member of the House. When these papers were printed, then it would be time enough to consider wheeler it was or was not right to grant a Committee of that House as, the Honourable Member wished. In the meantime he would say that be was far from asserting that it would not be right for that House, when it should have had an opportunity of considering the whole case, to assent to an inquiry into the circum stances of this case. He could not, however, consent to any inquiry which would drive Captain Wynn before a Committee of that House as a criminal, for it would render the public officers in Ireland fearful rather of incurring the displeasure of a Member of Parlia ment, than of doing their duty well to the Crown This he would say, that neither now nor hereafter would he assent to any terms that should complain of the conduct of Captain Wynn. He would say that it was the decided opinion of the se veral members of the Government that throughout the whole of his duty, that gentleman had acted with the utmost prudence and consistency. Under circum stances of the utmost difficulty, in the face of an opposition the most formidable, and under the oppression of a discountenance that few men could endure, it was the unanimous opinion of the officers of the Board of Works, in Dublin, that this gentleman had discharged his duty with the utmost efficiency and benefit to the country. He had not the slightest acquaintance with Captain Wynn, but since this matter had been discussed in Parliament, be had an opportunity of seeing Captain Wynn, but not having any acquaintance with that gentleman, was it at all probable that he had any motive for supporting him at the expense of two Members of that House, who were usually the supporters of the Government of which he was a member, except in the proper discharge of his duty. He had also seen the words of the letter, in which it was stated by the Hon. Member that they had held him up as an object of assassination; and he says that he could not at all grant that his words could be construed to mean any such thing, and certainly he thought that great allowance ought to be made for words uttered in moments of irritation. Mr. O'BRIEN—Read the words. Mr. LABOUCHERE would repeat his remark, that great allowance was to be made for words uttered in a moment of irritation ; and making that allowance, he really conceived that Captain Wynn's words would not bear that imputation. Mr. O'BRIEN—Read, read. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he would give the words. He said that he had strong reasons for com plaining of the conduct of the county Members. He (Mr. Labouchere) thought that if a man had asserted that others had held him up to assassination, this was at least a very mild mode of complaining of such an injury. lie had great reason to complain of the two county Mem bers, who had been creating a disturbance, and halloo ing on a mob of at least a thousand persons of the worst description, to impede the general business. He did not wonder that the clerks of the Board of Works and the other officers had not been able to do their duty, or that the men had done just what they pleased and nothing else, for it would require a man of the strongest nerves to stand against such an opposition as that which they had experienced. At the same time Capt. Wynn wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not for a moment intend it to be supposed that he wished to impute to the Hon. Member a charge so dreadful as that of having endeavoured to obtain their assassination. The condition of the county of Clare had been fully borne out by Captain Fishborne, another officer of the Board of Works. He hop e d that in a few days every Member of the House would be in possession of ample information on the subject. Under these circumstances be hoped that the Hon. Member would not press his motion at present. Major MACNAMARA explained. He made no al lusion to the Government. What he complained of was want of courtesy from them. Mr. S. O'BRIEN thought that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Labouchere) should evince as much delicacy of feeling with regard to the reputation of the lion. Mem ber for Clare as he did to that of Captain Wynn. He thought the feelings of the Hon. Member under these imputations were very natural. With regard to the terms of the motion he was quite sure the Hon. Member had no objection to any terms with regard to the Select Committee, if the Right Hon. Gentleman would only as sent to its appointment. He thought the Hon. Gentle men were right in bringing the question before the House, and in endeavouring to exculpate themselves from the charges made against them. Lord J. RUSSELL said his Right Hon. Friend did not object to an inquiry, but he had stated that the papers which would enable the Committee to come to a decision upon the matter had not yet been delivered to the House, and that therefore the Committee could not, in their absence, come to an unprejudiced decision. If the Hon. Member would, as the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Limerick had suggested, word the motion in such a way as would not convey anything objection able, not the slightest objection would be made to the appointment of the Committee, and if they wished for certain papers he did not think there would be any objection on the part of the Government to furnish them.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS considered that the Hon. Member had acted properly in bringing the subject under the consideration of the House—in fact, if he had allowed the charge to remain uncontradicted, he would not have been justified in retaining his seat in that House. But the Right Hon. Gentleman had aggravated the charge. as he had asked if he would bring Captain Wynn before the Committee as a criminal. But he (Mr. Williams) never heard that that House. or its Committees, were criminal tribunals, or that those who were examined before them were criminals. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was quite clear that the Government did not object to the appointment of the Committee for which the Hon. Gentleman had moved. Under these circumstances he thought if the time of the House was occupied in criminating observations, that the ends of justice would not be promoted. He thought it would be much better to abstain from such observations, as then, they were not in a con dition to come to an unprejudiced decision.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gentleman had suggested some alterations in the motion, which would Prevent invidious, and, therefore, improper info rences from being drawn from it. He trusted the lion. Gentleman would accede to this proposition.—(Hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE said he had no hesitation in granting the inquiry, but he objected to anything in the terms of the resolution, which would throw the slightest impeachment upon a public servant whom he believed had acted correctly. Mr. SHAW quite agreed with the Hon. Gentleman that this motion ought to be granted, and he did admire I the straightforward and manly manner in which the Secretary for Ireland had defended an absent public servant. Of Capt. Wynn he knew nothing personally, but he had heard in various places the highest cha racter of him. He would suggest that no words con demnatory of the conduct of Captain Wynn or the Board of Works sh aid be permitted in the words of the resolution ; he therefore considered that the motion should, for the present, be withdrawn. Lord JOHN MANNERS suggested that the Commit tee should be granted at the present moment, and that they should leave out the objectionable words in the re solution, such a course would save the time of the House and would answer the purposes of withdrawing the motioe. Sir GEORGE GREY said that some time would be lost in conferring upon the exact words of the resolution. Mr. S. O'BRIEN considered that the Committee ought to be granted with the least possible delay. Mr. HUME agreed in opinion, that the Committee ought to be granted. He did think that the Hon. Gen tleman should withdraw his motion, and then confer with the Right Hon. Gentleman on the terms of his reso lution. Mr. LABOUCHERE said no time should be lost in making the inquiry, and he would take an early oppor tunity of settling the terms of the motion with the Hon. Member for Clare. Mr. C. O'BRIEN complained that this was the tenth time the matter had been postponed. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought the terms of the re solution ought to be settled at once, so that the House might agree to it. The imputation upon the character of an Hon. Member of that House ought to be inquired into as soon as possible. Mr. J. O'CONNELL said it was true the words pro posed to be struck out were strong, but it must be re membered that the charge against the Hon. Member was strong too. He bad one remark to make, namely, that there was a flippancy which he had remarked on the part of these public officers. No doubt they had many cases of difficulty to meet, but they certainly should not accuse or bring accusations against the gentry without giving due notice of it. There should be some responsibility attached to these reports. His Hon. Friends, whose characters stood high, were suffering under a grievous charge, and they had retorted in strong terms, but in terms by no means as strong as those in which the accusation was brought against them. Sir R. PEEL thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman ought to allow the motion. It certainly was his duty to defend those employed by the Government, but he would grant an investigation into those portions of the charge which seemed worthy of the attention of the House. The original motion was then withdrawn, and an amended one, in conformity with the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, agreed to. SUNDAY TRADING. Mr. HINDLEY moved for a Select Committee to in quire _ r into Sunday Trading in the metropoli s . no m n. UME wished to know the obj ec t w hi c h t h e Member bad in view.

Sir G. GREY thought that the return was a most ex traordinary one upon the face of it, as it proposed to inquire into the original cost of all the ships of a private company with their present estimated value. Mr. HUME thought the question one of serious im portance. If they interfered with private concerns in the mode proposed, it would be laying down a very bad principle. . - Dr. BOWRING could not consent to the motion. Mr. COLLETT had good reason for making his motion, as he was desirous of seeing whether it was right that companies should devote their capital to other purposes than those for which they were originally in corporated Lord LINCOLN protested against the motion. After some further conversation, the motion was withdrawn. FEVER IN IRELAND. Mr. LABOUCHERE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and continue an Act of the last session of Parliament for making provision, until the Ist day of September, 1847, for the treatment of poor persons afflicted with fever in Ire!encl. He explained briefly that the object of the Bill was to alter the present system of making provisions for cases of fever in Ireland ; the main alteration would be to throw a portion of the ex pense and management on the relief committees, instead of, as at present, altogether on the local rates, and under the supervision of the Poor-law Guardians. He would postpone any observations he had to make till the second reading of the Bill, till which time he hoped the discussion would be reserved. Sir J. GRAHAM did not wish to discuss the pro visions of the Bill at present, only he rose to have some further explanation. As he was led to understand the measure, it transferred the whole management of these cases of fever to the relief committees, and also charged the expense of the mismanagement on the general fund, instead of, as before, on the local rates. Mr.LABOUCHERE said this was a correct view of the manner in which the charge would be made. If any expense of the prevailing destitution of Ireland was to be at all charged on the general funds of the country, none could be better charged than to check the pestilence pervading the country. Mr. SHAW inquired if the measure was to be tem porary or permanent ? Mr. LABOUCHERE—OnIy temporary. It is pro posed to be in operation from next November till the end of the next session. Mr. FIUME complained of the principle of charging this expense on the public funds. It was a most dan gerous practice, and ought to be cautiously acted on. If they admitted this principle, he did not know of any charge which they might not saddle upon the country. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL wished to put a question to the Secretary for Ireland. He wished to know if it were the intention of the Government to introduce, or assist the introduction of, into the Irish Poor-law Bill, any provision to give additional facilities in the work houses for religious worship; and also, any provision for obviating the recurrence of the disputes and interferences on religious matters, which have been complained of under the present law. If it were out of order in asking the question at that time, he would defer it. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Government had no objection to introduce such a clause as the Hon. Gentle man's question suggested into the Bill, if the Hon. Gen tleman could state with sufficient reason why they should do so. It was the earnest desire of the Government that the measure, in its working, should meet the approbation of all parties. _ _ ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Thursday next. Ile under stood that it was the intention of the Speaker to attend in that House to-morrow, in order to meet those Hon. Members who might desire to attend divine worship. He asked the House to sit on Thursday at twelve o'clock in the day ; but he understood that his Right Honoura ble Friend did not intend to proceed on that day with the Prisons' Bill or the Custody of Offenders' Bill. Lord G. BENTINCIC trusted that the Noble Lord would not persevere with the Iribh Poor Relief Bill on Thursday, inasmuch as it would inconvenience many lion. Members. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that they would be ena bled to get through Committee that night; but if not, he trusted that the House would not object to the Thurs day morning sitting, in order to complete the clauses in the Bill. THE NATIONAL FAST. Mr. MARK PHILIPS wished to ask one or two questions of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland ; first, as to what would be the effect of this fast. The number of working Irish, under the Labour Act, was stated to be 700,000, if he were correct in those numbers, he wished to know if they were paid at the rate of Is. a day, and if, under the operation of this fast, they were to refrain from working on that day, he should like to know whether they were to be paid with out furnishing an equivalent in labour. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that if his knowledge were correct, they had had a fast in Ireland already since the pressure of this distress, and in that case they had agreed that, as the expence came off the country, the labourers should work on that day. Mr. MARK PHILIPS said that it would have ap peared to the working classes of this country a great hardship if the poor peasantry of Ireland, who were paid for their labour by the country, were allowed their pay, and a rest from their labour, and the mechanics of England were compelled to cease labour at the expense of their wages. Had the Attorney. General been in his place, he should have asked if any penalty attached to the infringement of this command. ALLOWANCE TO IRISH PAUPERS. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK said that he had ob served in the Government paper—(Laughter)—he had observed in that morning's Times, a statement that an order had issued from the Irish Government, restricting the rations of the paupers to half a pound, for persons above nine years of age, and half that allowance for chil dren under that age. Mr. LABOUCHERE had not seen the document re ferred to by the Noble Lord, and the Irish Government had not had any communication on the subject. When such arrived, he should be happy to give every informa- Lion to the Noble Lord. THE NATIONAL FAST. Mr. BRIGHT said that he should be the last man in that House to throw ridicule on any matter connected with religion, but with respect to this national fast that was ordered for to-morrow, he knew that it would not be attended to by nine-tenths of the population, and would therefore be of no effect. He thought, instead of the proclamation doing honour to the Deity, it only showed the utter want of wisdom in those who framed it, and was rather calculated to cherish past supersti tions, and encourage infidelity, than to advance the cause of Christianity. Holding these opinions, he could not allow the subject to pass without entering his solemn protest against it, as unwarranted by the lloly Scrip tures and opposed to reason an i common sense. Sir GEORGE GREY was firmly impressed with the conviction that national Pass and seasons of humiliation were sanctioned by the revealed Scriptures. Mr. P. HOWARD said that he believed that this was a principle in accordance with Holy Writ, and had been often ordered in circumstances of national distress. The Church to which he belonged had cummanded that the miserere should be sung, and that more than usual strictness should be observed in connexion with that day. POOR LAW (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee. On clause 9 being proposed, Sir HENRY WINSTON BARRON proposed, as an amendment, that parishes should be substituted for electoral divisions, and where the parish exceeded 6,000 acres he proposed that the Poor-law Commissioners should have power to divide it into two or more parishes. Now he fully agreed in this opinion, and it would be argued against his proposition by those who were in favour of a union rate, that if they harrowed the ground they would be giving a premium to landlords to drive the poor into the towns. But he thought that this was met in two ways ; firstly by the amendment of the Noble Lord, which, under the 10th clause, proposed that when the rate was more than 2s. 6d. on the year, the landlord should be charged with the support of the poor ; the second ground was an amendment which it was his intention to move at a subsequent clause of the Bill, the effect of which amendment was that wherever the parishes were more than 6,000 acres in extent, the poor law guardians should have the power to divide it into two unions, and that where the poor were resident for more than three y ears on any estate, and then migratedinto the towns, that the guardians should be enabled to compel them'to support those poor. On the amendment being put from the chair, Viscount SANDON said that he conceived that if this Bill was to be of any servic e w h atever, it must be ef fected by the giving a stimulus to the several parties to exert themselves for the general benefit of the people. An English Member might not, p er h aps , b e the best person in the world to give an opini on u pon the subject, but it did appear to him that the Bill w ou ld b e totally useless unless it provided this stimulus ; f or th ey could hardly intend to throw three millions of people on the poor -rate—not to make them beggars exactly, but, at any rate, to make th em p au p ers . In his opinion, they must render the t axa ti on concurrent with the size of the estates, and that some measures should be taken to render those estates liable, whi c h were now on l y i n t h e possession of nominal proprietors, for without this was done there would lbe n o secur i ty w h atever for obtaining the sti mulus which was necessary for the redemption of the country. Every man ou4ht to make a sacrifice of his time, his comfort, his money and his exertions, for the general benefit. If this Bill were to only act for a pre sent benefit it would, in his conception, be a great in jury ; and he trusted, therefore, that the areal division proposed would not be adopted, for, if it were, it would be productive of great inconvenience, and very likely go far to defeat the whole operation of the Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE quite agreed with the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool that it would be a great mistake to alter the areal division of Ireland. The amendment of the Noble Lord quite met the difficulty suggested by the Hon. Member for Waterford. Ile also agreed in the opinion expressed by the Noble Lord that the taxation should be commensurate with the extent of the estates. On a farmer occa sion when this question had been raised by the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire (Mr. Stafford O'Brien), he had stated his views at large on this ques tion, and he need not again state them. The question the Hon. Member for Waterford, was simply that the electorial divisions should be ' changed p fo y r pfaonarrdocLhhieviaecirlupidoteioviisions. That was a very material point, agreed that this withhis Noble Friend the Member would alter the . whole of the should be this division of " Ile did not think that there for I;iaeteiciedsts between the different parts of the country, not see that any means could be adopted for preventingtcountryt teo poor man from going from one rt of the was the case in England ? Why, that"t6 tehelr. What in one parish had nothing whatever to do with the condition of another, though it might be bouring parish. The guardians or the landowners never thought of going beyond the precincts of their own parish, or of interfering with the proceeding; of another. If the poor law of Ireland Here to be carried out in this way, L; would have the effect of reducing the whole ache poor population to the condition of pan; ers. All were bound in the same interests, and he might take the principles of a community, in which the several members were connected by common ties ; and he thought that that was the principle to which the House should come. This was, in effect, the question which had been raised by the Hon. Member for Northampton shire, and on the grounds which he had stated when that question arose did he object to the principle of the pre sent motion, and should give his vote accordingly. Mr. S. O'BRIEN perfectly recollected the debate which had ensued on the question alluded to, and now be lieved, with the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just spoken, that it would be highly inexpedient to change the electoral into parochial divisions. The great object was, as the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool had stated, to give a stimulus to the landed proprietors of Ireland, and he believed that that could never be done until, by some means, the Irish landlords were made to support their own poor. In the desire to obtain this, he would readily vote for any taxation commensurate with the extent of the estates; and if the lion. Member for Waterford divided the House, he should feel it his duty to vote against him, for irt his own neighbourhood the parishes were so large, that, without some arrangement as this, it would be utterly impossible to carry out an effective poor-law in Ireland. After a few words from Mr. V. STEWART and Mr. BELLEW in opposition to the amendment, Mr. SHAW said, that as the whole of the machinery of the public works was arranged in accordance with the present arrangement of the law, this amendment could not possibly be adopted. Sir H. W. BARRON said that his reply to what had been said, would be very short. He had always been an advocate for a poor-law in Ireland, for he believed that such a measure was the only effective relief for the evils of that country. When the proposition of a poor-law was first introduced, and there were only three to vote for it in that House, he was one of the three. He was desirous, therefore, of rendering it as serviceable as pos sible ; with that view he had moved the amendment now before the House, and he had moved it because he had found that hitherto the law had operated unequally. In those parts of the country with which he was acquainted, the electoral divisions were far too large for anything like either a proper supervision or a proper system of relief, for they frequently comprised upwards of twenty thousand acres—an extent totally beyond the power of any poor-law official to attend to properly. Unless his clause were adcpted, two years would not pass over their heads without their being obliged to give up the Bill or remodel it upon the principle he had laid down. Mr. HAMILTON agreed with the principle of the amendment, but he thought the mode by which it was proposed to carry it out was impracticable. Mr. DILLON BROWNE thought it was highly de sirable that the principle of the clause should be affirmed. There ought to be a community of interest amongst the landlords for assisting the necessitous poor of Ireland. After a few words from Mr. SHAW, and one or two other lion. M em b ers , Mr. H. W. BARRON said he believed there were at present 2,500 parishes in Ireland, 700 of which he pro posed to have divided, and when that division was made there would be 3,500 parishes. The amendment was then withdrawn, and clause nine agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL rose to move the amendment of which he had given notice, the object of which was to place the rating of the poor not upon the electorial, or other union divisions of parishes, of which they had heard so much, but upon the union generally. Levying the poor's ra•e under the present system, was not a fair mode of taxation, for many parties were overrated, while others who ought to be rated were not rated at all. If Ireland was to recover from the calamity which had befallen her, it must de pend mainly upon the energies and industry of the inhabitants of her towns, and it therefore became the more desirable that the poor -rates should be levied in the most equitable manner. At present the charges were highly disproportionate ; for instance, in the parish with which he was connected, the charge for the maintenance of the poor was more than the aggregate charge of the rest of the union. In some parishes heavy rates were levied, while in others there were no rates paid at all. It was not that in the latter parishes there was a paucity of population, because he found that the population of some of these unpaying parishes was con siderably larger than that of the parishes in which the rates were levied. Now, bring aware of these f ac t s , he could not h e lp f ee li ng that there was something radi cally wrong in the present system of taxation for the poor, and therefore he was anxious that the expense of maintaining the destitute poor of Ireland should be equally distributed over the whole union, and not con fined to particular sections or parishes.—(Hear, hear.) — He could not understand how the Bill could be carried out. If he saw the means by which it could be carried out, he would have no objection to support the measure. He felt convinced that large electoral divisions would not answer, and he thought that the better plan would be to raise the entire rate for the support of the poor upon the whole area of the electoral division, and this was the recommendation which he would propose to the Committee. Great difficulties would also exist from the complicated nature of the accounts, which would be required, if the Bill passed in its present shape. He did not think that he should have much chance of carrying his amendment, but he must say that he thought the motion, which he had read at the beginning of his speech, was calculated to ensure the more efficient work ing of the machinery of a poor-law for Ireland, and he should feel it his duty to divide the House upon the amendment. Mr. BELLEW opposed the amendment. Sir R. FERGUS:SON was understood to be favourable to the clause as it stood. 'Colonel RAWDON entered into some details for the purpose of showing that in some electoral divisions the assessment amounted to a large per centage on the va luation, while in ether localities it amounted to a mere trifle. Thus proving the necessity of extending the area of rating, so as to prevent that unequality. He denounced such a system as most unjust in its operation. Some proprietors were in consequence taxed to a considerable amount, while, ()thus, who were equally entitled to con tribute to the support of the poor were altogether exempted. Sir JAMES GRAHAM confessed that his opinions had been materially changed on this subject. When the Noble Lord first introduced a poor law for Ireland he had opposed that Bill, but the experience which he had since convinced him that the Noble Lord was right, and that he was wrong.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord, however, did not then introduce any law of assessment and removal, and he (Sir James Graham) thought that the time might come when it would be necessary even in this country to disconnect the law of settlement from the law of removal. Much might be said on both sides with regard to the question under consideration. No doubt the towns frequently suffered by the clearance of the rural districts, but on the other hand these latter had also cause of complaint. In Ireland the rate was levied on the value of the property, but in England the number of poor, formed an important consideration in deter mining the amount of the assessment. Considerable difficulty, therefore, arose as to what course should be adopted consistently with a due regard to all these con flicting interests. The Right Hon. Gentleman theta read the opinion of Mr. Gulston, an Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, in Drogheda, in support of an union settlement in preference to a parochial one, and pro ceeded to say, at one time, he thought enlarging the area for the rating would be advisable. But further consideration induced him to think that this would be inexpedient. He was of opinion, therefore, that it would be wrong, at present, to substitut e a union for an electoral division rating ; and on the whole, he thought that the middle course, therefore, in the Bill before the House, was the preferable one. On the main question, he would give his cordial assent to the clause of the Government. Sir G. GREY said that the great preponderance of feeling in Ireland was in favour of the course suggested in the Bill, and it was not without the most careful con sideration that it was adopted. The Government at first intended to place the out-door relief on the union, and the in-door on the electoral division, but the course now proposed was the one which seemed to be most satisfac tory as well as most just to all parties. Mr. SHAW supported the rating on electoral divi sions in preference to that proposed by the Hon. Mem ber for Kerry. Mr. MACARTHY supported the amendment, and said that the rating in the city of Cork amounted to six•sevenths of the rating in the union, and he con sidered it was most unfair and unjust that when the poor-law in Ireland was to be revised this inequality should not be put an end to. Sir W. JOLLIFFE supported the amendment. In many rural districts the rate was only Is. 6d. in the pound, while in the towns it was from 7s. to Bs. He thought the present system operated most unjustly, and that the propositions of the Honourable Member for Kerry should be substituted for it. Petitions had been presented from Drogheda, Ennis earthy, Tullamore, Wexford, Mallow, and other places, in favour of union-rating, whilst few had been pre sented against that mode of rating. At present great and disproportionate burdens were thrown upon the towns. When any public work was commenced, great number of labourers came from the country; but when they were completed, and they became destitute, they were obliged to be supported by the parish—not out of rates equally levied on unions, as was manifestly the proper mode. He was therefore strongly in favour of a general, or national system of rating, as it would be one which would not press too heavily upon particular localities, and would at the same time afford proper re lief to the destitute. Mr. S. CRAWFORD was in favour of the clause as it stood. Ile objected to particular localities being heavily and disproportionably taxed, but he thought the amendment would not remove the objection. Mr. ARCHBOLD said in the district in which he resided they paid 151. a year for each pauper. There were but six paupers in the workhouse, who cost them 901. a year. He objected to union rating, because he considered it would p rove i n j ur i ous to th country, and instead of having six paupers in t he workhouse it would be impossible to tell how many they would have. He was in favour of rating electoral divisions. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL replied; nothing had been stated in opposition to his amendment to lead him to withdraw it. He therefore should divide the House upon the question. The House divided, when there appeared— The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it Majority —9s On clause 11 being proposed, Mr. VERNON SMITH 3onsidered that some - power ought to be vested in the Cimmissioners to levy rates, when the board ut guardiansretuse Ito act. This would be a much better proceeding than that of dissolving- the hoaru altogether, which wts an odious and most in vidious act. He wished to know, was there any compul sory power vested ei.her by mandamus or otherwise, to compel the guardians, aft they had struck a rate, to proceed upon their own act Sir GEORGE GREY sail that there was one instance where a board of guardians vas compelled to act upon their vote. Mr. STAFFORD O'BR:EN said that one great ar gument he had for not Interfering with the present state of things was, that the !resent Executive have the power in their own hands of altering the system to suit my evil that might arise. There was another way of meeting these evils. The bcards of guardians need not want for unanimity to remedy any existing evils, for by merely leaving out the name of the electoral division to which the pauper belonged, le beeeme chargeable upon the union at large, and any disturbance of the present salutary arrangements for so trifling an inconvenience was unnecessary. After the existing Act was passed, the same question was raised as to the pressure of the districts upon the towns, but an Act was passed to re medy the inconvenience in 1843, and yet still the pro portion of electoral paupers remain just the same. The Hon. and Learned Member for Cork had stated that the pressure was very severe upon that city, but that pres sure arose from the allocation of the paupers of country districts upon the cities, and could not be remedied by any existing Act, for ample provision existed already to avoid the evil. When they narrowed the area of taxation they induced the inha bitants to give relief from private sources sooner than send the paupers upon the division or district ; besides, any alteration in the present electoral divisicins would materially increase the difficulty of collecting them. The Irish peasantry had, from the tricks which were constantly played upon them in the towns, imbibed the notion that the townspeople were making large fortunes at his expense, and, therefore, he would have little wish to assist in relieving their poverty and misery. Believing, as he did, that the clause, as it stood, must lead to union rating, and considering the difficulties to which it would lead, be had no course left him •but to move the omission of the clause. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that after full considera tion, the Government thought the present proposition the best that could be introduced. It was a compromise between the extreme principles on both sides. He con sidered the clause contained a fair system of rating, as it was but fair that the expense should be equalised. The subject had often been fully discussed, and the merits of the mode et rating fully considered. He hoped the House would not consent to the alteration. Mr. J. O'CONNELL hoped the Government would not give way an inch on the question, as the omission of the clause would be a seriaus evil, and considered the attempt to expunge it as an undisguised landlord's attempt to release themselves from the provisions of the law. Mr. D. CALLAGHAN supported the clause. Lord SANDON thought the present was not a dis cussion between the interest of town and country. He thought the clause objectionable, and would support the motion of the Hon. Member (Mr. A. S. O'Brien.) Sir G. GREY —A few months ago there was scarcely a union in Ireland, in which the rate was more than one shilling, and, therefore, it was that a provision was made for doubling the rate. Lord G. BEN riNca—What, then, was the reason for imposing 10,000,000/. during this present year, upon a rental of 13,000,000/. ? Under the present arrange. ment they would have to provide for 225,000 fa milies permanently.—(Hear, hear.) At the pre sent moment there were a million of persons engaged in the cultivation of the 14,000,000 acres, now occupied in the growth of agricultural pro:nee. He would like to ask the Members for Cork and Kilkenny, how it was that there was such as overgrowth of paupers. In Co r k there was a pop u l at i on of 195,000, with a ratite.; of 292,000/. ; and let them then step into Skibbereen, where there was a population of 23,000, and a rating of 48,0001. Take again the City of Dublin, where there was a population of 323,000, and a rating of 900,000/. In Ballina, again, there was the same instance observable, and thought then, that by the amalgama tion of the towns and the country, that the country would be the sufferer. The only remedy, then, in his opinion, was to be found in the proposition of his Hon. Friend the Member for Northamptonshire. It was well observed by the Duke of Wellington, in 1837, that by extending the area of trxation they would only be en abling every man to put his hand into his neighbour's pocket. This was a sufficient reason why the proposi • tion of the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire should be taken.--(Loud cries of " Divide," with cheers.) Mr. NEWDEGATE rose amid much confusion, and said that while the population of England was 16,000,000, while the property assessed was 63,000,000/. giving a rate of 31 18s. 9d. The population 'of Ireland was 8.000,000, while the assessment was levied on 13,000,0001, giving a rate of 11. 12s. 6d., making a pro portion of two and a-quarter to one. What, then, was the reason why the poor-rate in England had been increased from 5,000,0001. to 12,000,000/, if this motion would not prove a heavy and unjust imposition on the landlords of Ireland ? From the dif ference which these statements showed, there was a sufficient justification of the motion for the Member for Northamptonshire, and it would accordingly secure his vote.—(Cheers and cries of " Divide, divide !") Lord LINCOLN, as it was his intention to support the amendment of the lion. Member for Northampton, wished to have an opportunity of stating, in two sen tences, his reasons for doing so. He could not admit that this was a question between the landlords of Ireland and the tenants of Ireland ; for it would be found that the idea that the social population of Ireland were in times of distress and want thrown upon towns was entirely groundless. In consequence of the inten tion of Government to adjourn the House to night earlier than usual, he had not time to go fully into the question ; and, therefore, he should content himself by expressing his belief that in adopting a union rate they would be inflicting a considerable injury on particular individuals, while, by agreeing to an electorial division rate, they would avoid that evil, and render the poor more dependent upon the law for assistance in times of distress than upon the exertions of individuals. Lord J. RUSSELL had only one word to say before they went to a division. The Noble Lord who had just sat down and the Hon. Member for Northampton had argued throughout as if Government proposed to levy a union rate ; but he must beg leave to remind the Committee that they had no such intention. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the clause - Against it 57 Majority in favour of the clause —6l The clause accordingly stands part of the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn until Thursday next at twelve o'clock. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned until Thursday next at a few minutes before twelve o'clock. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

The application for an injunction in this case, which was specially appointed for to•day, was postponed to Friday, on the application of Mr. Bethel], on the ground of the defendants having put in two demurrers to the bill filed by the plaintiff. The case relates to the Oxford and Birmingham railway, with respect to which there has been so much before the public lately. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The March adjourned sessions for the county of Mid dlesex commenced yesterday morning at the Court-house, Clerkenw•ell-green, before the Assistant-Judge and a full bench of Magistrates. The calendar showed 98 prisoners, five of whom only were charged with misdemeanours, and the remainder being felons. Of these 78 can only read and write im perfectly. - Upon swearing the grand jury the name of Daniel Forrester, as a resident in the county of Middlesex, was called upon, w h en M r. Forrester stood forward' and claimed exemption from serving, on the ground of the official position he occupied under the Lord Mayor of the city of London. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE denied the grounds of excuse. Mr. Forrester was summoned as a freeholder of the county of Middlesex, to serve upon the jury for that county, and civic jurisdiction did not prevail here. How ever, under all the circumstances, Mr. Forrester should be excused for the present session. The grand jury having been sworn, the ASSISTANT. JUDGE, in his charge, dwelt upon the statistics of juve nile crime in the metropolis. He was most happy to say to the gentleman of the grand jury, that now, more than ever, it seemed the attention of the public and the Legislature was turned to the subject of criminal juris prudence, so far as children were concerned. Mr. CLARKSON applied to the Court for the postpone ment of the trial of Major Beniowski, on the charge of assaulting Mr. Urquhart, at a Polish meeting held at the Freemasons' Tavern, upon the occasion of the great meeting for the expression of the feelings consequent upon the national annihilation of Cracow. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, that in conse quence of the arrangements of the Court, the case, at best, could not be taken sooner than Friday, on which day the bail cases would be taken at Westminster. It would be quite impossible for the Court to take (as was originally arranged) the charges of misdemeanours on next Thursday, owing to the intervention of the Fast day. He was not aware what he could do in the case, but he should defer giving a definite answer until he saw whether the defendant appeared in Court to show cause either for or against the postponement, and unless he came the case would be adjourned to the bail day of the next sessions. Ann Shand Harris, who had been found guilty of stealing a coat, the property of Mr. Vandergucht, and a china plate and other articles, the property of her land lady, Miss E. Cleaver, was called up for judgment this morning, when The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he had, since the last session, caused inquiries to be made into the prisoner's character by an active and trust worthy officer. The result of these inquiries was that at Boulogne it was ascertained the prisoner was considered to be a person of education and family, and, in consequence, dozens of persons had been plun dered by her and a gang to which she belonged. The same results followed the inquiries made here, and under all the circumstances of the case he considered it to be his duty to impose upon her the term of six months' imprisonment in Westminster Bridewell for the first of fence, and of two months for the second. The bail cases stand over to Friday next, when they will be taken at Westminster. - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A gentleman by the name of Lloyd applied to Mr. Bingham for a summons against the directors of the Parcel Mail Company, under the following circum stances:— It appears that applicant, on Wednesday last, took a parcel directed to Messrs. Horton and Co., High-street, Whitechapel, to the receiving office in Poland -street, where he paid the usual charge for carriage. Yester day he received a communication from the Messrs. Horton, stating that they had not received the parcel. He went to Poland-street and made inquiries, but was told that the parcel had been sent in the usual way to the chief office in the Strand. He accordingly pro ceeded to the latter place, and stated his complaint to one of the clerks, who, instead of affording him informa tion or redress, treated him with the greatest contempt and abuse. The parcel had not arrived at its destina tion, nor can he get any information regarding it. Mr. BINGHAM said that latterly there had been re peated complaints against the company, and granted ap plicant the summons. WORSHIP-STREET. George Ifidher, a toll•collector in the City-road, was charged a ith committing a murderous assault upon Zachariah L•ligman, aged 70, by cutting him in the face with a razor, and also with attempting self-destruction with the same instrument. Ann Longman, wife of the prosecutor, said the pri soner lived at the house No. 110, Britannia -street, City road, and in which she resided with her husband. About twelve o'clock Monday night the prisoner entered their room, on the ground-floor, and, after some con versation, my husband, at the request of the prisoner, went for some ale, of which each partook. The ale was paid for by the prisoner. The latter afterwards went out for some meat for the dog. Ile soon returned, and took another glass of ale. He now ap peared the worse for what he had taken. He requested witness's husband to light him up stairs, which he did. In a few seconds the prisoner returned, and I put my husband, who was very ill, into the front room. The prisoner came into the back room, and having made some inquiries about his dog, left the room and went into the street. He quickiy returned, and on arriving in the passage opposite he called out lustily three times, " Fire." I then went out to him, and entreated him to go up-stairs, but he caught me by the throat. I called out " Murder," and my hu,band came to my assistance. I then distinctly saw the prisoner stretch out his arm towards my husband, and instantly after, I perceived that he was bleeding profusely from several gashes in his face. I now rushed to the door and screamed murder. The prisoner rushed up-stairs. The police-constable quickly arrived, and my husband was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I pointed Ju t the prisoner's room. Police-constable, 51 N, took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner was up stairs lying upon the bed with his face downwards. He rose, when I perceived that he was bleeding from an incision in his throat, about three inches in length. I procured the assistance of Mr. Coward, the district surgeon, who seA ed up the wound, and I then conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. The razor produced was picked up upon the first fluor landing by the last witness, who gave it to me. It was then covered with blood. The prisoner expressed his sorrow for the poor old man, but said he was fearful he had not completed the job for himself, which however he would do as soon as an opportunity presented itself. The above evidence was corroborated by other wit nesses, and it was stated that the unfortunate old man was considered in imminent danger. The prisoner was so weak as to be unable to stand, and was accommodated with a seat in the dock. He said nothing, and was remanded 'for a week. TESTIMONIAL MANIA.--Every body now-a-days is giving every body a testimenial. Wellington, in bronze, riding the high horse; Cobden, the peaceful here of a world —not a country; and Hudson, the railway monarch, whose motto might be, "nulls dies sine linea." It may, however, be confidently predicted that one might be named whose exertions in alleviating human sufferings far outbalance the just and willingly rendered claims of those whose names are above enumerated. This will at once be apparent, when we call to mind the almost incalculable amount of agonising torture relieved by Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, whose proprietor may be said already to have reared an imperish able monument on the gratitude of thousands.

TRlPOLl.—Letters from Tripoli, just received, an nounce the death on the 27th of February, after only four days illness, of Dr. John Dickson, a half-pay surgeon of the British navy, who had been upwards of thirty years a resi dent at Tripoli. and where, such was the extent of his gratuitous attendance on the indigent, that the mournful event cannot but be looked upon as a great public calamity, and, happening as it did at the very instant the first gun an nounced the anniversary of the birth of the Prophet, not a few of the 11fahomedans rPgard the event with a supersti tious awe. On the Ist of March the remains of the lamented deceased were interred in the Protestant cemetery, which is distant about two miles from the town, escorted by a military guard of honour, sent by or d er of hisExeellency the Pacha, and followed, not only by every foreign consul, but by all the European residents at every class, and by several thou sands of Jews and Mahomedans, and so anxious were many whom he had attended professionally to pay this last tribute of respect to his memory, that they actually rose from their beds of sickness and joined the mournful proces-ion, whilst it passed along the crowded streets, heard the shrieks and cries of th e nat i ves b ewa i l i ng h i s deat h i ssu i ng f rom the miserable hovels which he had been wont to enter to prescribe for suffering humanity. He has left a widow and large family to deplore his loss. DRAINING WITH ENGINE ASIIES.—On the farm of Daldorcli, the property of Archibald Buchanan., Esq., of Catrine Bank, Scotland, there are drains made twenty eight yeers ago, and filled with engine ashes, which are still in full and efficient operation. The depth of drain is twenty six inches. and the width between each twelve feet. The bottom of the drain is cut three inches wide, and the depth of ashes used in filling them is about ten inches. The soil is a firm clay. These drains promise to be as effi cient half a century hence as they are at the present time.— Cambrian. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH, ST.

SUGAR.—To-day there was not much desire evinced to operate on raw sugar for home consumption, but in the val ue _ little variation t oo k p l ace; those parties that were desirou s to realise, ho wever , were compelled to take lower prices fo r brown and inferior sorts, and last week's rates could not be generally obt a i ne d even for the better sorts of yellow grey. West India Muscovado met with little attention, tee taken private sales did not exceed 120 hhds and trcs• the I'o o taken were in some cases rather under those th. ' t Xis ted previously, the quantity on o ff er being rather large r . 4 e REFINED.—To-day 'Refined goods were much sought after for home consumption; but few parcels were to be obtained, and prices are firm. The supply of Bonded Crushed Sugar is far from sufficient for the wants of exporters. MA[ iirrius.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was not much in request; 11,671 bags 216 casks and 37 tierces were offered at auction; nearly the whole consisted of bright yellow sorts ; for these the demand was limited, and a part only sold, in some cases at lower rates, but for brown and grey qualities a good demand(' existed, and the prices ob tained were equal to these of Friday. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon two parcels of Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, and amounted to 2,654 bags and 36 tierces; the demand was limited, and the Benares only partly sold at the former value. FOREIGN.—This afternoon 140 hhds and 14 barrels _ e of s Sugar from St. C ro i x, d uty paid, were offered at p u blic s a l e, a superior parcel of the new crop, and sold stiffly. . ted de- MoLAssEs.—This afternoon there was only a mend privately for West India; at public sale 171 Pun' merara were taken in a t 23 s f or m i ddling quality; 125 puns of Barbadoes at 25 s f or good; 58 puns of St Rats at e ss; and 68 puns 6 hhds St Vincents at 20s, low quality, being about the former value. COFFEE.—To-day Ceylon Coffee was in limited request privately, and 41s 6.1 to 42s is the value of good ordinary pale native. Of Mocha 60 bales were offered at public sale , sold at stiff r a t es — goo d ye l low long berry clean gar bl e d 79s 6d to 80s, triage 35s to 50s, sea damaged 36s to 725. Ia Foreign Coffee a good business has been done privately in al l sorts, and at rather better prices. TEA.—The quantity up on w hi c h d uty was paid at this port during the past week amounted to 492,000 pounds, an d the arrivals were 9,000 p k gs during that time. All k i n ds are chesper than they were at this period in 1846, notwith standing the large consumption. RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice met with a dull demand. At public sale 5,426 bags of yellow were offered • the sound Was all taken in at is t o i s 6d under the rates of 'Friday. SPICES.—To-day at public sale 21 cases of Cassia Lignea sold at 57s 6d to 58s for good ord coarse, 68 casks Jamaica Ginger taken in above the value, viz-71 to 71 5s for good , and at 56s to 65s for ord and good ord. 23 cases at 38s for Bengal. 320 bags Malabar Pepper at 3ad fur fair heavy', being ftd more than it was worth. 50 brls African Pod, in part sold at Bls to 115 s. 40 b ags Pimento taken in at 51 " per lb. COCHINEAL. —This afternoon, at public sale, 70 b a gs of Teneriffe Cochi nea l were withdrawn at 6s 4d, being above the value. 208 bags Honduras sold at full rates for the best sorts. SPIRITS.—Sirce Tuesday last the home and export de liveries of Rum have been upon a small scale only, whereas the arrivals increased of all descriptions, notwithstanding prices are yet much above those of this time in 1846. In Jamaica the tendency is sill downwards for all sorts. East India is difficult of s a le. In Leeward Island very little busi ness has been done. Demerara met with a dull sale. Al though the deliveries of Brandy continue upon a large scale, still the home trade operate with caution, and prices are on the decline. INDIGO.—The market is still firm for East India of all de scriptions, and there is only a small amount on offer. A fair quantity has been taken. at prices fully equal to those of the last quarterly sales; indeed some qualities are fetching a small advance. Ou.s.—Cou is to be obtained at 2715 s to 271 10s, but the purchases made have been unimportant. Seal has been operated in with caution fur all purposes, and rather lower rates are taken. For Sperm precious rates are insisted upon. ' Lard Oil is selling at 45s to 50s, and is in brisker request, The home demand continues to be extensive for Linseed Oil on the spot, and large parcels have been taken for exporta tion ; prices are still on the advance. For forward delivery a good deal has been done at 29s 6(1 to 30s. Any further rise in the value of 11 , peseed is preve n t e d b y arr i vals of Fore i gn . Olive is heal with firmness. There are further arrivals Of Palm, and holders are inclined to realise at 37s to 37s 6d per cwt for fine quality, and at 30s to 36s for low to good. Cocoa Nut Oil is in active demand, and brought further ad vanced rates. TALLow.—Although there are sellers of Russian on the spot upon further reduced terms, still the demand has been limited: 50s 6d to 51s per cwt are the prices accepted for tine Petersburgh Yellow Candle. For delivery in the last three months of the year the demand is, however, good, and quotations range firm at 46s 6d to 46s 9d. Home made is little wanted, and there are sellers at 50s net cash. For other sorts of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are lowering. 81R277.3. On the 14th inst., at Frampton House, Lincol ns hi re , th e l a d y o f the Rev. John Turman', of a son.
