HIGH WATER AT LONDON-FIRIDGE THIS DAY. Horning .. 18 minutes after 10. i ETenlng .. 59 minutes after 10. I W 35 with peculiar pleasure we observed the course taken by Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the more speedy trial and punish• meat of juvenile offenders. As was inevitable in the present enlightenment of the Legislature upon the grievances arising from the protracted abeyence in which the matter has been hitherto lying, leave was readily granted. The entire question of reform i❑ relation to this prolific class of criminals will naturally come, therefore, before Parliament out of the discussions upon the proposed measure of Sir J. PAKINGTON. In the absence of any comprehensive scheme of education, it is consolatory at the least to behold something like preparation for the lopping oir of one of the most baneful branches of ignorance. That the indiscriminate imprisonment of youag children, pending their trial at the criminal courts, is productive of a scarcely calculable amount of injury, has been long evident, and (what is more) long acknowledged. The transitionfrom a childish pecca dillo to a deliberate larceny is thereby characterised by an awful rapidity. An unnatural stimulus is given to the villanous propensities which might otherwise have been weeded out in their innocuous blossomings, but which are from vicious companion ship prematurely forced to bear the fruits of sys tematic sin. What the Hon. Baronet the Member for Droitwich instanced, in the case of a little girl of scarcely twelve years being confined amidst all " the con tamination of the female side of the prison," during a considerable interval previous to her trial, might be instanced a hundred fold from the pages of the Prison Inspectors, as well as from the domestic narrations of the suburban rookeries. From that malign abandonment of the tender offspring of the ill-informed, their ductile intellects are tutored to crime before the power of discrimination between right and wrong has assumed a place in their intel lects. Before they are in any measure capable of judging matters which have baffled stronger intellects than theirs,' even when matured by age and cultiva tion, these children are seduced into the perpetual com mission of offences against the law, and in defiance of the principles that regulate social decency and national morality. " Eheu me misarum! Cum mihi paveo, Tura Phormio me excruciat animi." "Alas !" they might exclaim almost in the language of TERENCI, " when I hare most reason to be troubled for myself, my natural protector, the Legislature, plunges me into irreparable misery." It remains for that Legislature to redeem its own character as the natural protector of the poverty-stricken and despised, by reclaiming the children whom it is even now transforming into the antagonists of its au thority. We cannot cause the dead generations of what were once juvenile offenders to lire again, and to live in sobriety and happiness, instead of villany and opprobrium ; but we may, if we list, prevent the similar ignomy and similar wretchedness of similar generations. The finger of the law can stay that wheel of crime; we look for its interposition. There are few subjects more worthy of the serious and attentive consideration of the Senate than that to which Mr. HustE on Tuesday night directed the no tice of the House of Commons. The enormous expenses that have ever attended the passing of private Bills through either House have proved a bar to the intro duction of many measures of great utility, by which small localities, or the estates of individuals, might be materially benefited ; in fact, it has hitherto acted as a prohibition to all but the very wealthy, and the comparatively poor have been prac tically excluded from a participation in the advantages to be derived from legislative inter ference in their behalf. The same may be said of any thing where the outlay, or the money to be raised or expended, does not exceed a few thousand pounds for, although the value of the proposed measure may. be obvious to the meanest capacity—although it may be wholly unopposed, or even anxiously desired and petitioned for by every one whose interests are in any the slightest degree interfered with or affected thereby—still there must be at the very least 5001. and more, probably double that sum, wasted in legal and Parliamentary expenses before it can receive the necessary sanction or authorization. This is a crying grievance, and one which we trust will be removed during the present session. Much good has an ' doubtedly been effected by such of the recommenda tions of the Special Committee of last year as have already been adopted and acted on. Under the old system witnesses were frequently detained from their homes and families, and from their ordinary occupa tions, for several weeks, at serious inconvenience to themselves, and at an expense of several hundred pounds per diem to the promoters, while the stand ing orders were being proved ; while, by the recent regulations, the matter is disposed of in two or three days at the farthest. But much still remains to be done. Why might not the evidence of witnesses as to merely formal matters, respecting which there are no disputes, be taken by affidavits, sworn before duly authorised commissioners, in like manner as that now adopted in Chancery proceedings, leaving it optional with the Examiners, if they thought proper so to do, and if it was required by either party, to demand that such witnesses should attend in proprid person 4. By this means, to which we can perceive no reasonable grounds of objection, vast expenses would be saved. Why should there not be a fixed table of fees, whether • of counsel, solicitors, or Parliamentary agents, by which the amount should be regulated, and a proper mode of taxation adopted ? The fees of the Houses should also be materially reduced, and we doubt not that by a judicious reform the expenses of obtaining private Bills may be reduced to a mere fraction of what they at present amount to. ~..; • " """-,4*. • . • , • - - ( - xiturv - * ll • 114 arttinix LONDON, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1847. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. After the transaction of private business, the presen- tation of petitions, and the ordering of various returns, The Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill, was, after a short conversation, read a third time on the motion of Mr. LAnoucuEnE. The report on the Landed Property Advances (Ireland) Bill, was brought up, as was the report of the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. T. DIINCOMDE drew the attention of the House to the treatment of the convicts at Woolwich, as detailed in the evidence before the late inquest. Sir G. GREY had received no official account of the inquest. Mr. CHRISTIE postponed his motion relative to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge until after Easter. Mr. WATSON then moved the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, the principle of which was that no man should be liable to penal laws for the pro fe4sion of his religious faitk. Sir R. INGLIs objected to the Bill on principle, as de priving the Established Church of those securities which had been guaranteed at the passing of Catholic emanci pation. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Colonel SIBTUORPE seconded the amendment. Mr. B. ESCOTT, believing that these enactments were only kept upon the statute-book to gratify the pride of those who delighted in tormenting their fellow-creatures, would give his hearty support to the measure. Mr. SHAW opposed the Bill. _ _ Mr. IlAcsuLY supported the Bill, because some of the laws sought to be repealed were so utterly repugnant to good feeling that no p.,Tson would venture to carry them out. He, however, would not consent to allow the celebration of processions, because such processions were contrary to decency and public order. _ . Mr. Fr:wiz would tolerate every church in existence except the Church of Rome. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN supported the Bill. Mr. SPOONER considered this as another inroad on the constitution of the country. Mr. J. O'CONNELL considered it a stigma upon the character of the House that they should consume four or five hours in debating whether or no these laws, which were admitted to be inoperative, should be repealed. Mr. NEWDECATE considered this as a measure which would remove all the bulwarks of the constitution, and erect nothing in their place. Lord G. BENTINCK supported the second reading of the Bill. Sir R. PEEL supported the second reading of the Bill, reserving to himself the right to oppose certain portions of it at a future stage. Mr. LAW and Mr. GOULDURN opposed the second reading, which was supported by Lord ARUNDEL; after which, Mr. WATSON replied, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the se con d rea di ng Against it Majority for the second reading —3 The Bill was then read a second time, and the 111 adjourned. Although the introduction of an organized system of National Education is reserved by the Govern ment for some subsequent opportunity, we are re joiced to behold a determination in both Houses of Parliament to anticipate that important measure in as far as juvenile offenders are concerned. The necessity which exists for some interference with the germination and development of vice among the more impoverished portions of the population is not a new born necessity springing from some mushroom over sight on the part of the Executive. It is a necessity which has acquired an appalling magnitude and im portance from the miserable length of its continuance. To employ the epithets, not in odious mockery, but with sentiments of the truest sorrow and humility, we only perceive in that necessity "an aged vice, a grey iniquity." We only perceive in it a lamentable indication of the insufficiency of our criminal ccde for the suppression of the social maladies arising from neglect and ignorance. Nor can the pernicious consequences of this inattention to the wants of the poorer members of the community be regarded as but just recognised by the representa tives of the more affluent and instructed. They have for years been acknowledged in Parliament--they have long occupied the attention of the benevolent and patriotic—they have originated philanthropic establishments in the metropolis—they- have found eloquent and suppliant voices in the reports of the prison inspectors and in the Legislative Chambers at Westminster. We would fain believe that those voices, enforced by the supplications and representa tions of the Press, are on the eve of b e i ng a ll a y e d by the unanimousdeeisi e . on of P ar li ament. I n t h e L ords the matter has r ed the h generous ass i s t ance of Lord B ROUGHAM, In cessions of the aCore the inter eing emulat e d by the lion. Baronet the Memb er f or Droitwich. It In no other country but our own are such extra ordinary and extravagant expenses tolerated; in almost any other an enactment can be obtained for fewer shillings than it will cost pounds in England. Why should this be so ? What benefit to the country is to be derived from a perseverance in the antiquated system ? Why must thousands, and hundreds of thousands, be uselessly wasted in every year ? Is any necessary precaution against rash or inconside rate legislation omitted in other countries, where that legislation can so much more cheaply be obtained' We believe that such is not the case; but if any danger should appear to the Committee during the progress of their investigation, we have no doubt that adequate means will be taken to guard against them.l %Ve are happy to find that the Committee who have I been appointed to conduct the inquiry consist of able and practical men of business, well acquainted with all the details of Parliamentary business; and we anticipate many useful reforms and beneficial altera e 1 Lions from the result of their labours. We have already noticed, under the head of Foreign Intelligence, the acquittal of the National on the 20th instant, accused of having published a libel upon the KING of the FRENCIE. The gist of the libel consisted in attributing personally to his DIAJESTY the blame and the responsibility of the acts of his Government. The article in question was written in consequence of the recal of the French Consul from the Mauri tius. It contained, incidentally, some severe reflections upon the policy of the Montpen sier marriage, and argued indirectly, but in an unmistakeable manner, that Lours PHILIPPE had compromised the honour and dignity of France. Hence, the nature of the libel, and the peculiar con- juncture of public affairs, imparted a lively interest to this trial. It was not only that the liberty of the press was seriously involved in the issue, but the pro secution afforded the first seasonable and solem n opportunity for ascertaining, to some extent, through the medium of a French jury, the feelings of the people with reference to the Spanish alliance. W Q have of late, more than once, alluded to the absurdity of regarding the proceedings of the French Legisi a . ture as approaching to anything like an index of the real sentiments of the nation. Their Chambers, con. stituted 23 they are at present, are neither more nor less than pliable instruments in the hands of the SOVEREIGN. Of course, in this light, we mereiy treat of them in a collective sense, not doubting that, in either branch of the Legislature, there are to be found members of such honour, intelligence, and patriotism, as would reflect the greatest credit upon the councils of any state. But these form the excep- ions, and not the rule. All that is worthy to con- stitute an essential representative, is completely swamped by the influence of the system—to use the guarded language of the National—which affects the entire Government of France. This system is sum med up in a sentence—the power of Parliament is rendered subservient to the power of the Throne. Thus, upon every qu?stion where the interests of the nation come in contact with the personal wishes of Royalty, the people find that their influence is reduced by a cypher, whilst that of the Sovereign obtains an uncontrollable sway. It is the knowledge of these things that leads every reflective statesman, desirous of acquainting himself with the real state of public opinion in France upon any matter of material importance, to regard with indifference the acts of packed and hired ma jorities in the Chambers. But the statesman will view quite otherwise the solemn deliberations of a court of justice, where the people, impersonated by a jury, really have a voice. Thereefore it is that every real lover of liberty will derive intense sa tisfaction from the finding of the jury, who, by their verdict, and the promptitude with which they returned it, administered a marked rebuke to LOUIS PHILIPPE. Tho verdict is the more precious, on account not only of the ability, powerful reason ings, and moving eloquence of M. MARIE (himself a Deputy) but also of the bold and uncompromising nature of the defence which he set up. He adopted the article of the National in its full length and breadth. He attempted neither to ex tenuate nor explain away any portion of it. He showed himself to be well versed in the philosophy of constitutional freedom, and evi dently felt that he was vindicating one of the most sacred principles of liberty. The opinions of eminent public men, dead and living, were felicitously quoted in support of his argument; and the counsel for the Crown were covered with confusion when M. MARIE proved that some of the present Ministers, especially N. GUIZOT, had at different times, in the Senate and elsewhere, used language of precisely the same import with that of the National; and yet these very men sanctioned a trial intended to bring down punishment upon the publisher of consti tutional strictures, which they had repeatedly stamped with their own authority. Moreover, M. MARIE did not hesitate, and apparently not without effect, to refer to the staunch resistance which, in different periods of English history, had been offered by some of our most distinguished political ancestors to every effort made by the Crown to crush the liberty and independent privileges of the subject. M. MARIE reminded N. GuizoT that the celebrated Earl of CHATHAM refused to continue Minister, because he would not submit to hold power without its responsibility, and because he felt that to permit the irresponsible influence unduly to predominate would have been to submit to a system of personal government certain of dt• generating into baseness and corruption. Lord CHATHAM, like other great men, sided with the constitutional privileges of the people, and so held the authority of the Crown in wholesome check, whilst, at the same time, he best served the cause of monarchy itself. This was hard hitting for N. GUIZOT ; it also served as an admonition to Lours PHILIPPE that M. MARIE knew far more profoundly than the Sovereign himself, what best conduces to the stability of the throne. If the Ministers of France would only promptly vacate their offices whenever the Sovereign se e k s t o v i o l a t e th e un d ou bt e d rights of the people, kings would soon be brought to a sense of their iniquities. This is the only efficacious mode to be pur sued for thwarting inordinate ambition and selfish ends. Monarchs might find servants more obsequious to their will, but their possession of power would be very short-lived. One of two things would happen as the necessary result of good example—either that the people would insist upon having an improved Constitution, and infallibly obtain it, or else the So vereign would be obliged to abdicate in favour of a worthier successor. Madrid papers of the IGth have been received. The Gaceta contains the official announcement of the appointments of General ORA♦ to the Ministry of War, and of Senor OLITAN to the Ministry of Marine. On the 15th the heroic defender of Saragossa, Don Joel: PALAFOX, died suddenly at Madrid. It will be in the re membrance of our readers, that Senor IsTunTz and his col leagues were base enough to deprive this old veteran of the command of the household troops, lest the sight of this scourge of the French should excite unpleasant remi niscences in the minds of the followers of the Duke DE MOICEPENSIEE. The health of General NAnvAt is said to be in a declining state. According to El Tiempo, one of the directors of the Bank of San Fernando left Madrid for Bayonne on the 15th, to procure funds, in order to meet the continued run on the Bank.

The Constitutionnel, in commenting upon the Nor manby-Guinot affair, denies emphatically that the Marquis of ProemAttar had ever given it any informa tion, as had been falsely asserted by the Presse. Speak ing of M. Gtrizor, it says that it has been clearly demonstrated to the whole of Europe that he has not spoken the truth. The article concludes with the fol lowing retort to the taints of the Ministerialists, that t h e Opposition journals were the organs of the English Embassy " Let the Ministerial journals remember this—that there are not in France any organs of foreign powers, any minis ters of foreign powers, but the journals and the men who in 1840 s ang out a shameful recantation —but the apologists of the massacres of Gallicia, the men of Ghent and their sup porters." The KING of the BELGIANS Was to arrive in Paris on Monday. His visit is stated to be at the urgent request of the KING of tile FRENCH. Count WALsKY, the French Minister to the Brazils, who, in conjunction with Lord HOWDEN, is to conduct the negotiations for the pacification of La Plata, is t sail from Toulon on the 10th March.

George Forrester and Co., of this town made her first trial trip yesterday. Her time was taken from the Rock Lighthouse to the Bell Buoy, thence to the North-west Lightship, and back to the Rock by the Bell Buoy,--a distance of 31 miles, which ahe performed lu two hours and two minutes. When we con sider that this is the first time She vessel has been out of dock since launched, and the first trial of the engines, the result may be considered very satisfactory; and there can be no doubt that eventually a much greater speed will be obtained. The Princess Helena is a sister vessel to the Princess Clemen tine, which we so lately noticed as having left our port for Folkestone. They are both built for the South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company.—Liverpool Courier. Mx. CoRDEN IN ITALT.--Letters from Rome of the 11th inst. mention that a grand banquet was given on the preceding day to Mr. Cobden, by the Chamber of Commerc€ of that capital. The Marquis Potenziani, the president, and the Marquis Dragonetti severally addressed Mr. Cobden, whose reply was received with enthusiastic applause. The Carnival was very gay, owing to the great influx of foreigners. According to an ancient usage, the Ambassadors of France and Austria have alone the privilege, during the hest of Carnival, and on a certain day, to drive through the Corso, or principal street of Rome, en grand gala, after the evening gun, or signal for all carriages to withdraw. " To-day," says one of these letters, " Count Rossi, anxious to maintain that old privilege of France, effected his promenade, followed by a brilliant cortege of carriages, with the usual ceremony. The moment the carriage of the representative of France appeared on the Corso. where the entire population of Rome i s now assembled, a universal burst of applause resounded through the crowd from one end of the street to the other." The next day was the turn of the Austrian Ambassador, and it was doubted if he would venture out. "if h e does," says a correspondent, " he will certainly be hooted. We are exerting ourselves to calm the resentment of the people, which is greatly excited by the suppression of Cracow, and the late disturbances at Ferrara and Cesenatico; F in E g riu ,. l t aA t t h T e ltheo and, if we succeed in only securing to the Minister of Austria a cold reception, we shall have achieved wonders." The Governor, Cardinal Grasselini, was also to drive in state through the Corso on that day, and it was apprehended that his presence would create little sympathy, because of hi i s ai h g a h y instigation of the Austrian Ambassador, ordered the seizure in the shop of the bookseller Natali of a work en titledl'ilNraoßs stoacnrueu onlysc.re ofeElni. was T thear 'Tarnow, o b u o - ,0 book or c confiscated, c Austrian ted , but Policy NataliU n y o t of feb other t a hs rhinoceros , bags i was fined 100 scudi. and r s r lP i et v ß e p udsus f r r ii o nA m g. —t t hn h e e " :::: of Good Hope has brought an exceedingly various cargo - of bones, 2,39 variet tigers,ekins ncl ii and ding othersome animals,o f goats, besidesbtni buffalos, 0 zebras, . o f _ a nd a exten sive a variety of skins, &c., is not usual, and evinces, • productions. e f importation hoofs o f in a re markable manner, the ca blitioe or resources pi 1 es of the Cape for euda supp li es, o animals, s o ptece, LONDON,.
