To outward appearance all was smooth and triumphant; but we happen to know some- thing of the difficulties hip cou rd have achieved ih through all Thursday it was doubtful whether the ques tion would really come on. The Dissenters threatened a vehement opposition, — the government desired to h ave the evening for the Irish poor law discussion ; and between the one and the other there was every reason to fear that the motion might be a third time postponed, by which, for all practical purposes, the present session would have uccii ivay. vi ',nu utauu.tuii, wnen IL am at last begin, it is enough to say, that Lord Ashley's motion was sup -orted by Lord John Russell, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Sir d Buxton, Mr. Horsman, Mr. W.

After which,—our readers will not be surprised to hear,—that the house adopted the motion by a majority of 111 to 18, or about six to one! WHAT THE CHRRCH CAN Do. Lord Ashley con cluded his eloquent speech in the House of Commons on Thursday, as follows :—The whole number of parishes in EnglarW,with a nooulati not exceeding 4,000 each, was 279. Calcul m ating, then, that an addition of 500 clergy men would be equal to the meeting of all the exigencies of the present occasion and the present -- country—and supposing s ^ X" position of the e sum of .‘,..)uu. a year allott,_ each, that would amount to only £150,000. per annum— (hear), and surely that was not a very large sum to ask from the patriotism, the piety, and the wealth of the Church of England. (Hear.) The only way in which the proposed subdivision of parishes could be effected, unless they had some general plan for it established by law, would be by separate local acts, which would cost much trouble in passing. Just as they had a general in closure bill, it might be necessary to have a general sub division act, He confessed he could not understand on what ground any opposition could be offered to his pro position. All they asked was that an opportunity might be afforded to the Church of England for developing and increasing her resources—of showing her capability as well as her will of discharging all her high and important duties. (Hear.) They found the church assailed every where by those who differed from her, because, while pro fessing to be the church of the poor. man, she yet left whole districts without any spiritual aid or a single house of worship. Such was the charge which was continually made, and it was that charge which it was now proposed to meet, by showing that the church had both the'ability and the will to exercise those high functions which rightly belong to her. (Hear.) If, however, after the Church of England should have had that opportunity of develop inz all her resources, and calling forth all her energies,— if after that she should be found wanting, and her efforts unsuccessful, then, and only then, it would be time to say " cut her down, why cumbereth she the ground." (Hear.) Before they proceeded to condemn the church for what she had not done, they ought to allow the church an opportunity of proving what she was able and willing to do. (Hear.) His own firm belief was, that if they would but untie her bands—enable her to expand her wings, and permit her to show all she desired to do, s h e would fully, amply, conscientiously, and beneficially dis charge all those high and solemn duties for which, u n d er God's blessing, she was originally founded by the piety, wisdom, and love of her forefathers. IRELAND. There have been two more incendiary fires in the coanty of Down. John Mitchell has been removed from the Bermudas, and is on his way to the Cape of Good Hope. A rector of Cork states that his living which originally was worth £5OO, now only leaves him, after payment of rates, £4O a year to support himself and family. THE RATE IN AlD.—The provincial journals are filled with speeches and petitions against the proposed rate in aid. There are further reports of deaths by starvation from the south and west. Evictions of tenantry, emigration, and death, are rapidly thinning the population in many parts of Connaught and Munster. MENDICANCY IN DUBLIN.—Two thousand six hundred and eighty-nine beggars were taken into custody by the Dublin Metropolitan Police from the Ist of January to the 24th of February, 1849. Esq., a magistrate of Queen's County. The ball fired at him passed through the breast of his coat, carrying away a portion of letters in the pocket, but without wounding him. Robberies are vastly on the increase, and it would seem that the audacity of professed thieves has increased. The case reported in the Cork Constitution of the two Limerick robbers established in Cork is not a little remarkable, from the fact that for a long time they must have played their part with much impunity. ABDUCTION AND COWARDICE.—Richard Comerton, a rejected suitor, headed a band who attacked the house of the Whelans, of Rathbyle, of Ballygarret, and having beaten the Whelans, carried off their sister, whom the police recovered at Castlemere next day. Although there were five Whelans in the house, and although they were armed with guns, they not only allowed their sister to be forcibly dragged from them, but also submitted, without the least resistance, to a sound thrashing. A YOUNG HERO.—An investigation has taken place beforo the magistrates at Carbery, which has brought into public notice the heroic conduct of a boy eleven years of age, son to Mr. Walter Bourke, of Johnstown Bridge. On Sunday, when he alone had been left in care of the house, three men, two of whom had blackened faces, attempted to force their way in through a back window. He threatened to blow their brains out ; but they paid no heed to his menaces. At last he loaded a' gun ; but it missed fire three times. One of the men was partly through the window, when he tried another deto nating cap, and succeeded in wounding the ruffian in the thigh. The robbers then took to flight, carrying with them their wounded comrade. The. magistrates ha* recommended the young hero to the notice of the lord lieutenant. - WANTON MURDER.-It is our painful duty to record a most unprovoked and wanton murder, which occurred last week at Quigley's Point. The passsenger ship Brutus, which was forced into Loch Foyle, owing to the existence of cholera on board, is at present lying off Quigley's Point, and boatmen occasionally visit the passengers to attend to their personal wants and accommodation. The unfortunate deceased, Thomas Gill, was one of this class ; and; in company with Thomas Falkner, he was employed on Tuesday evening last in conveying some Passengers to the vessel, but was prevented from putting them on board . .

POLITICAL MISCELLANY. .- Lord John Russell hopes to bring on, this evening, the discussion on the Navigation Laws. Mr. Mundy, who has represented South Derbyshire since 1841, died at Barbadoes on the 29th January. The Yorkshire Gazette intimates that the Earl of Har rowby has promised to bring in a bill for the gradual repeal of the Beer Bill early in the present session. The farmers are holding meetings all over the country, to petition parliament for the repeal of the malt tax, and for the removal of the other burdens pressing unfairly on the occupiers of land. PARLIAMENT AND THE CHURCH.—In the majority in favor of Lord Ashley's motion we find M. T. Baines, J. Brotherton, W. Gladstone, Sir J. Graham, &c. Scarcely any of our Lancashire members were present to support his Lordship ; and this should not be forgotten on a fu ture occasion. In the minority of only twenty were J. Bright, J. Hume, T. Thorneley, W. Brown, &c. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.—In the majority of 275 against Mr. Cobden's motion for reducing the expendi ture of the country to the level of 1835, we find E. Card well, Sir T. B. Birch, W. T. Egerton, G. C. Legh, J. W. Patten, and J. Tollemache ' • in the minority of 78 in favour of the motion were W. Brown, H. Drummond, W. Ewart, A. Henry, L. Heyworth, C. Hindley, E. Horsman, W. Jackson, It. Thicknesse, Lord D. Stuart, T. Thorneley, Sir J. Walmsley, &c. THE ALTERATION OF OATHS BILL.—The Earl of Win chilsea has addressed a very energetic letter to the peo ple of this country on the subject of this bill. He con cludes as follows :—" Let me most earnestly and most affectionately implore you--as you value a continuance of the many blessings which the Almighty has bestowed upon our country (for national sins, believe me, never go unpunished in this, present' world; and what greater casting off the name of that Saviour and God who died to 'redeem us ?)—to raise our voices as one mar. against this most wicked and accursed measure. Let it echo from hill to hill, and let every valley of our land be filled with this determined cry, " That Christian England will never suffer the cross to be removed from the banners under which she fights." THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST.—The folloiaing is a copy of Mr. D'lsraeli's motion, to be broughtforward next Tuesday—" That the whole of the local taxition of the country for national purposes falls mainly, if not ex clusively, upon real property, and presses with undue se verity upon the occupiers of land in a manner injtrious to the agricultural interests of the country, and is otherwise highly impolitic and unjust. That the hardship of these appointments is greatly aggravated by the fact tint more that one-third of the whole revenue derived fromthe ex cise is levied upon agricultural produce exported, through the recent changes in tie law, in direct competition with the untaxed produce of foreign countries. That tie home produce is thus being subject to a burden of taxatioi which greatly enhances the price, and limits the demand hr Bri tish produce exported—restrictions which injurimsly in terfere with trade and industry. That this house rill re solve itself into a committee of the whole house, b take into consideration such measures as may remove tie grie vances of which the owners and occupiers of real puperty justly complain, and which may establish a more eqfitable apportionment of the public burdens." FREE-TRADE PROSPERITY.—In the House of Com mons, on Friday, Mr. Masterman said " he would ak the merchants of London to look back to the autumn o 1847 —what bad their experience of Free-trade measures leen ? (Cheers.) What had been the experience of the *ann. facturers of the country ? Let Mr. Bright answe the question. No one could doubt his ardent love forfree trade. Speaking only a few days ago, he said that within a few years nearly every manufacturer had losbne half of his capital. What said Mr. Muntz, in relatin to Birmingham ? Why, that five-sixths of the metal /tutu facturers had been obliged so discontinue their busiiess. So, then, neither the merchants nor the manufactures of England had found prosperity to flow from free-fade measures, while it was clear the consumers had not brie fitted ; because he found Mr. Williams, the membe for Macclesfield, declaring that in the neighbourhood ale- %s then I). f IE inqu vernment to pres 'OUSE OF COM ed if i Ls other d wits vat warmth dispatches referred to had been in The passages left out were omittec opportunity of defending themselves documents referred to in toi would not lay them before t In reply to a question fro Sir G. GREY said that the conflicting decisions respect ing the provisions of the Factory Bill rendered it neces sary that some amendments should be made in it, and a Bill was in preparation for that purpose. He would lay the o before the committee, but le house or the public. n Mr, HINDLEY, HODS OF COMMON Members' Bil Mr. C. LEWIS moved the second reading of the Public Roads Bill. The bill was divided into two parts—the one relating to the existing debts of the turnpike trusts, the other to the machinery by which they were hereafter to be governed. The debts of the trust amounted to the sum of £6,609,000, and their annual revenue was about £1,300,000. He proposed that the revenue should be paid into the bands of commissioners, to defray the ex penses of keeping the roads in repair, which would be about £673,000 and the interest of the debt, which amounted to £364,000. This would leave a balance of £170,000 available for the liquidation of the debt itself. Mr. W. MILES came down to the house determined to oppose the second reading of the bill, but its obnoxious parts were so far removed that he would ask the hon. gent. to adjourn the second reading to reprint the bill as altered, and to enable hon. members to judge of it in the shape it had now assumed. Mr. RICE believed that the bill could not be reprinted without first going into committee. . . Mr. Spoori - ix did not think the objections to the bill at all removed by the alterations which had been made. In his opinion it was the grossest deception ever practised on the house to represent an altered bill as an improvement on the old. It was throwing upon the county rates the expenses of all bankrupt turnpike trusts, and was grossly dishonest to the bondholders. He hoped the house would never lend its sanction to a principl involved in the so monstrous bill. e furtl After som, whether the second reading could be carr postponement, Mr. C. LEWIS withdrew it, and immedi ately afterwards moved for leave to bring in a bill con taining the alterations.—This was agreed to. The Offences (Ireland) Bill, after a someu discussion, (given elsewhere,) in which every met— pudiated the parentship of the bill, was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, a return of the aggregate number of stamps issued for newspapers in each year, from the Ist day of January, 1812, to the first day of January, 1849, in England and Wales, Scotland and Ire land, respectively, distinguishing the number at one penny and at one halfpenny, was ordered. ;ion, it appearin g• doubtful edwithout a hat laughable M re- HOUSE OF LORDS.—TRURSDAY. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved for an account of bills raised under the Turnpike Trusts Acts, from the Ist of January, 1844, to the Ist of January, 1849, distin guishing each year, with an account of those trusts which are in dent ; the amount of debts, whether arising from money borrowed upon the security of the tolls, the inter est due thereupon, or other charges, at the present time; the amount of money raised by highway rate, from Easter 1837, to Easter 1848, distinguishing each year; the amount of money contributed from the highway rates to turnpike roads, from the year 1837 to the year 1848, dis tinguishing each year. The Marquis Of SALISBURY called their lordship's at tention to a return lately issued from the Office of Woods ar l 6ivaM.—WtetEsnymiteßtkitig arisen on the subject in quarters generally well informed. The Earl of CARLISLE thanked the noble lord for the opportunity afforded him of giving some explanation re garding certain grants named in the return alluded to. With respect to some houses in front of the Green Park, and mentioned in the return, the owners of which had small slips of ground for gardens in front from the Crown, at fair rents, a misunderstanding had arisen. It had been supposed that the small rents charged for the small slips of garden ground were the rents charged for the ground upon which the houses were built. None of them were built on Crown property. There was no foundation for the charges brought against the office over which he pre sided in regard to the price of ground granted some years ago to Mr. Nash. The land was grass land, was let to that gentleman under the same arrangements which were usually entered into between builders and proprietors of ground let for building. The case was inquired into about twenty years ago by a committee of the other house of parliament, and., after sifting the whole of the case, the acquitted both the office and Mr. Nash of any impro per conduct in the transaction. The noble earl also justi fied the office in leases made to Mr. Barton, Mr. John Bell, and several other parties. The rents charged were in every case fair and just between the parties. The department to which he belonged would at any time cor rect an error if pointed out, and would adopt any sagges tion for the better management of the property of the property of the Crown. The Earl of ELLESMERE said he was one of the parties who was so unjustly attacked in the article alluded to. He was charged with collusion with the Woods and Forests, and paying only £6O a year for that which was worth £5OO. The pound on which his house was being built was his own freehold, and if the bit of garden was there too cheaply let, he was quite willing t o a bid e b y any desision to which her Majesty's Government might come. So fas as he was concerned, the article in question was one tissue of falsehoods, and the truth might have been found out upon the slightest inquiry. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--TurnQrky.

The troops marched on the morning of the 12th, and on the next day came in sight of the enemy, when they were directed to form, and advance in order of battle. The Sikh army occupied a long line, extending from their ori ginal position, called Moong, to a place bearing the name of Russool or Russoolnuggur, a strong post where the enemy's magazines were established, end near which was a narrow gorge, well adapted for retreat in the case of dis aster. Lord Gough had at first intended to throw all, his strength upon it, and thus turn the enemy's flank, but in an evil hour he abandoned this course. The Sikh posi tion was seen to be strong ; the Jhelum was in their rear, with a well-constructed bridge spanning its waters, and their centre was protected by field works, which had the advantage of rough and jungly ground. Between one and two, p.m., Lord Gough decided on postponing the attack till next day. A few shots, however, from the enemy's batteries happening to fall close to the Commander-in- Chief, his Lordship, with a rashness which cannot be suffi ciently deplored, determined to engage the Sikhs without delay. He would hear no reason—listen to no advice, and even, it is said, threatened to put any one in arrest who should dare to offer him counsel ! He endeavoured to penetrate the centre of the enemy's position, and com menced a cannonade, which was answered by the enemy, and lasted between one and two hours. Brigadier-Gen eral Campbell, who commanded the division of infantry on the right, was directed to make a flank movement, by which he exposed the flank of his own troops to a tereible cross fire from the Sikh batteries on the left, which had not previously been observed. The 3rd and 4th Brigades reached the Sikh guns—the latter of the two leading the way—and so tremendous a fire then opened upon them, that they were compelled to give way, her Majesty's 24th Regiment in particular, sustaining severer loss than has ever befallen a British corps since the Cabool massacre. Unsupported by artillery, retreat was inevitable ; and the native regiments, as well as the 24th, left numbers dead and wounded upon the field. On this occasion fell the Brigadier commanding, Colonel Pennycuick, Lieutenant- Colonel Brookes, Major Harris, and numerous other offi cers. While this occurred on the right, Brigadier Hog gan's brigade on the left carried everything before it, gal lantly storming' the enemy's batteries, and spiking their guns. The Brigade under Colonel Mountain was sent against the enemy's centre, but after having seized and spiked a battery of Sikh guns, found the enemy's infantry close upon them, and were compelled to retire. The Commander-in-Chief seemed to have been at first utterly at a loss what was to be done ; at length he re solved to entrench himself where he was, calling up Wheeler's brigade of about 5,000 men, and summoning the 13th and 22d from Ramnuggur and her Majesty's 53d from Lahore; sending back, in exchange, the regiments that were disabled. Lord Gough having ordered that no letters should be sent from camp until the despatches were in readiness, wrote a brief notification to the Governor-General, stating that the troops under Shere Singh had been entirely defeated, and driven back at relinquished all the positions in which they had been en- , trenched. The ruse was of no avail. For three days silence was successfully maintained, when such a host of letters from officers with the force appeared in all the newspapers, bearing so obviously the stamp of the highest authority, that the despatches, when they do arrive, will take a very secondary place in the rank of documents. The Sikhs are said to have lost 3,000 men killed, and 4,000 wounded—our casualties being rather more than a third of this. The enemy were busily engaged entrench ing themselves: they are reported to be 60,000 strong. The Fort of Attock has been surrendered to the Affghans, who, it is said, plundered the town and violated the women. • Lieutenant Herbert made an endeavour to escapetdown the Indus, but fell into the hands of Chuttur Singh. Captain Abbott is still at large, but there are no recent tidings of his whereabouts. Major and Mrs. Law rence and their children are in the power of the rebel Chief. The Dost himself is said to be on the banks of the In dus, watching the progress of events. Strong reports are still afloat of a close league having been formed between the Affghans and Sikhs, but it is certain the former have not given the latter any armed aid as yet. A late letter from the north says that the Mussulman chiefs of Peshawur have formally conferred on Dost Ma homed the title of Defender of the Mahomedan Faith. The British force bivouacked on the night of the 13th a little in rear of the field of battle. The Sikhs withdrew to Nussort, where they placed their guns in the position o f a besieged force, and fired a salute—a rather odd com bination of measures! In the night parties of the enemy returned to the battle-field, and carried off the guns which had been spiked by our troops ; all the wounded men found by the Sikhs were murdered, and the dead robbed and mutilated. WEST INDIAN MAIL.—The Severn steamer arrived at Southampton on Tuesday : She brings no mails from Mexico, Honduras, Jamaica, or Havannah. On her homeward voyage the weather was fine. She came home with only one paddle working, having broken her star board paddle-shaft. 1 1. he Avon met with a similar acci dent.

He had had the curiosity to make an examination of some facts happening in the very heart of London. The area he had taken was a very small one, but it included every description of shop keeper, being from Farrington -street to the Old Bailey. It contained 22 shops. The period his inquiries extended to was from 1839 to 1849, and he found that during that period one house had retired upon a competency, no doubt made in other times—he alluded to Rundell and Bridge-- five others were still in existence, and 35 other persons or firms had occupied those 22 houses, and had successively failed. (Hear, hear.) If, then, it could be proved thit seven-eighths of the houses were failing within a period of ten years, it was proved to demonstration that we had yet to experience the benefits and wisdom of cheapening foreign produce. He considered the shipping interests of this great country were taking the proper course in asking the government and the legislature to pause and recon sider their acts before taking another step which must add to the misery and poverty of the country.

The master and crew of the barque, Plymouth, have written a letter of thanks to Captain Colthart, of the ship Britannia, for rescuing them on the Ist instant, from a watery grave, when the vessel was in a sinking state off the south of England. In about twenty minutes after they got on board the Britannia, the Plymouth sunk. COLONIAL ASSOCIATION.—On Tuesday, a preliminary meeting of gentlemen connected with our colonies was held, in London, for the purpose of establishing a colonial association, with a view to the improvement of our depen dencies. A provisional committee was appointed with power to add to their numbers. A public meeting, we understand, will in a short time be convened. A DANGEROUS PRECAUTION.—The Canterbury Jour nal relates the case of a young man who was engaged in opening the window-shutters, to which were affixed five detonating balls, for the purpose of giving alarm by ex ploding, in the event of attempted burglary; he by some means caused them to burst, by which his right hand was severely shattered and lacerated. SUPPOSED MURDER OF A GENTLEMAN.—On NV, day morning the body of Dr. Cfook, of Camden Town, a gentlemanly attired man, between fifty and sixty yea ss of age, was discovered in a pool of blood at the entrance to a field in the Caledonian-road, Islington, London, under circumstances which lead to the belief that he had been murdered. Peverell and Nesham, the two men charged with the murder of the Duke of Cleveland's gamekeeper, have been committed for trial. They have since confessed that they were surprised in the wood by May, and were in the act of giving themselves up to him when the gun in Nesham's hand went off accidentally and shot May. They then left the ground immediately. Mrs. Tucker, of Bramford Speke, Devon, has left £12,000. amongst the religious societies and the charities of that neighbourhood. The largest amounts are, £l,OOO. for repairing the church, £l,OOO. to the Devon Hospital, £l,OOO. to the Christian Knowledge Society, £1,200. to the Colonial Church Fund, £BOO. to the Church Mission ary Society, &c. "ednes- On Saturday last, one of the most extraordinary cases of self-destruction that has probably ever been heard of, occurred at Southampton. The suicide was a Jew, named Solomon Jewell, aged 21 years, who was married to a young Jewess a day or two before, and before committing the dreadful deed the unfortunate man wrote to a friend, requesting that he would marry his wife, as he was about to quit the present world for ever. WHIG ECONOMY. — About - 230 of the privates of the Rifle Brigade were discharged from Horfield Barracks, and marched through our streets with wallets on their backs, en route for their respective homes. Just like the whigs ! Saving a penny on a soldier's jacket, and adding a shilling to the poor rates; or, what is worse, quartering their dependents upon the public to the tune of hundred of thousands sterling per annum. UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.—One of the Bideford market-boats, returning from Devonshire, on Friday afternoon, when in the river Lynber, near Ince Castl e , was suddenly upset by a gust of wind from the north west and six persons were unfortunately drowned, viz., Mr. Brown and son, Mrs. C ra bb an d child, John Jen kins and another. The o n ly o th er person in the boat, William May, was saved. A MAN ENTOMED EIGHTY FATHOMS DEEP.—An Un fortunate man, Johnson Jeffries, who was mentioned a fortnight ago as having been buried in an iron-ore pit on Lindale Moor, Cumberland, is still under ground, and it is said there is not the least probability of his body being recovered in less than six months, even with full sets of men working day and night. The corpse lies about eighty fathoms deep, covered with many tons of earth and water. A SENSIBLE JURYMAN.—It will be scarcely credited that a person of respectable exterior presented himself at the Court of Adjourned Quarter Sessions, held in trieigh illiM4tietkiiiiikis aralcleatrennilf stating that was ill in, bed, that he could not leave his house, which certificate he presented to the chairman himself, amidst the laugh ter of the whole Court.---Bath Chronicle. THE PLYMOUTH SISTERS OF MERCY.—A very large meeting of the Devonport Board of Commissioners was held on Friday, when it was moved by Mr. W. J. Little, that the report of the Visiting Committee, recommending the withdrawal of the children that were in the Orphans' Home from that institution should be confirmed. Mr. C. Tripe seconded the motion; and after a discussion which lasted four hours, the question was carried by a ma jority of forty z ninp to twenty. Sir George Napier having declined the command of the forces in India, Sir William Gomm has been appointed. He is an old Peninsular officer and distinguished himself at Waterloo. Whether at his age he is likely to prove a good leader of the military operations in India is another question, The bravery and zeal of Lord Gough as a General of Division cannot be questioned. His general ship has notoriously failed both in the campaign on the Sutlej in 1845-6 and in the Punjaub in 1848. AFFECTING FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday week a party of strange gentlemen who have been staying here, having gone over in a small boat to the Horse Island, on a shooting excursion, on their firing at the wooden part of the Beacon Tower as a mark, notwithstanding having given strict injunctions to a few young boys that accompanied them to keep at a distance from their shooting. one of them, clandestinely, by climbing, entered the tower through a window (out of view of the gentlemen), the door being locked, when a ball entered his head, through a two-inch piece of timber. He only lingered until next morning. He was 14 years of age.—Glasgow paper. The magistrates of Flintshire have inflicted a fine of £lOO on the master of a steam-vessel, for neglecting to give notice to the receiver of Droits of Admiralty of his having found at sea an abandoned vessel, In default of payment, the master was sentenced to six months' im prisonment. It may not be generally known that all goods and articles cast up by the see, or secured as dire lect on the waters, are immediately to be reported in writing, as such, by the salvers to the receivers for the Admiralty. The act is most stringent and decisive on this point. In the above instance, had the master pro perly reported the case, he would have been entitled to a large sum as salvage.
