Tn UNITBD STATBS GOVERNMENT STEAMERS.— t-. The new United States Government steamers, which are intended to sail between Liverpool and New York, will, it is said, be seventy-six feet in beam, while the greatest width for which preparations are made at our docks is seventy feet. The attention of the Dock Committee has, however, been called to the subject, which is considered to be of so much importance that it has been referred to the Committee of Works, --Liverpool paper. " itl'lll3l 11 zlalt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1847. Intelligence of a somewhat unexpected and cer tainly of a very satisfactory character has just been received by the Overland Mail from Calcutta. A detailed narrative of occurrences in the vicinity of Canton is published in another part of to- day's im pression, explaining—though only partially explain ing—the origin of some extensive disturbances in that portion of the dominions of the Celestial EM PEROR. Whatever may have been the immediate in ducement to the assumption of arms by our forces, it is certain that the result of that assumption has proved eminently satisfactory, inasmuch as it has testified the overwhelming energy of our maritime armament, and has compelled the Chinese Govern ment to yield to our reasonable requisitions without bloodshed, and even without any prolonged oppo sition. Within thirty-six hours the English under the direction of Major-General GEORGE D'AGUILAB and Captain MacuouG ALL, appear to have assaulted and captured the whole of the Bogue fortifications and the other places of defence scattered along the Canton River, besides demolishing the gateway, blowing the magazines into the air, and spiking cannon to the number, according to one account, of 827, and, ac cording to another, of 879 pieces. All this was accomplished, moreover, without the loss of a single individual, and the successes of our forces were fol lowed up with such activity that within forty-eight hours from the commencement of hostilities the city of Canton was itself threatened with instant destruction. As might be anticipated from a naturally pusillanimous race like the chil dren of the Brother of the Sun, our naval ardour was productive of a speedy submission. The Chinese authorities yielded to the various demands made by the Plenipotentiary of her Britannic MA JESTY, Sir JOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, and yielded to them without any reservation whatever, thereby re storing instant tranquillity, and saving Canton from the perils of bombardment. Although little glory can possibly accrue to those who have triumphed thus easily over their Asiatic an tagonists, it cannot but be most creditable to the offi cers and men engaged in these transactions that so much was performed in so brief an interval, and with out the occurrence of the smallest casualty. To the honour of those who conducted this successful expe dition, be it observed that their proceedings were of singular moderation notwithstanding the tempting cir cumstances of their superiority. His Excellency Sir J. F. DAVIS has evinced a generosity in the enforce ment of his demands which must effectually exalt the character of his country in the eyes of the Chinese population. Instead of goading them on to a further evidence of their dis inclination to submit to British requirements by the stringency of the articles in the new agreement, he has, in a distinguished manner, displayed the moderation of his Government in the conditions of that reconciliation. According to the minor treaty, signed on the 6th of April, it would appear that the several stipulations are as follow :—Firstly, that within a period of two years, dating from the morning upon which the agreement was made, Canton should be opened uncon ditionally to the subjects of her Britannic MAJESTY. Secondly, that the subjects of her Britannic MA JESTY should be permitted to wander at pleasure in the vicinity cf that city, returning towards evening, as at Shangliae, and that every act of molestation should be considered as severely punishable. Thirdly, that the assailants of the two English seamen during the preceding October, and of Colonel CHESNEY and his companions during the foregoing March at Fu shan, should expiate their offences ; and - that the last mentioned culprits, being already in custody, should be conducted to Canton, there to be punished in the presence of the representatives of the British pleni potentiary. Fourthly, that a sufficient area should be afforded to British merchants for the construction of suitable tenements and warehouses on the llonan side, his Excellency to ascertain the particular site and the precise extent of those areas before leaving Canton. Fifthly, that besides an adequate piece of ground for the erection- of a church in the quarter already occu pied by the foreign factories, a certain portion should be parcelled out for burial-grounds in the district of Wampoa. Sixthly, that the Flying Bridge and other structures situated between the gardens should remain in the several conditions desired, and that no sheds should henceforth be raised in the neigh bourhood of the walls ; and, Seventhly that the Canton river immediat e l y f ront i ng the English and foreign factories should, for the better preservation of, quietude, and for the general convenien ce , b e en ti re l y cleared of boats. We have catalogued the foregoing conditions as the most signal evidence that could be afforded at once of the preponderance of British influence on the shores of China and of the moderation of the Plenipotentiary of her Britannic MAJESTY. The Ilouse of Commons was again counted out last night while Mr. POITLETT SCROPE was bringing forward his motion with respect to the waste lards of Ireland. The present advanced state of the session, and the approaching dissolution, render it almost an impossibility to retain a house, save on some question of general interest, on which a practical result may be looked for without delay. The individual Mem bers are now more intent on the manner in which they will meet their respective constituencies, and the prospects of again obtaining their " most sweet voices," than on receiving information on any point, the decision on which must be referred to another Parliament, in which they may not be so fortunate as to obtain seats. To such causes, therefore, and not to a want of sufficient importance in the topic, the apparent apathy may be ascribed. We have long felt the deepest interest in all relating to the re clamation of those lands in the sister kingdom which are now suffered to remain idle and unproductive, but which might be made the means of affording use ful employment to a vast quantity of labour that now consumes, in place of increasing, the national wealth, which, if brought into cultivation, would yield a great additional quantity of food for the sup port of the British people, and which would render wholly uncalled for the system of banishment, which, under the name of emigration, is so urgently de manded by certain classes of Irish landlords, who seem to think that the permanent prosperity of Ire land can only be attained by the expatriation of not merely thousands, but even millions of her children. While such persons are declaiming on the evils of a surplus population, on the necessity of Government interference, and the application of the State funds to a wholesale deportation of the people, is it credible that there should be contained within their country no less than four millions of acres of land which might at a moderato expenditure be rendered fer tile, and whi • en, theaccording outhch t e o rmcino uesn t rob est i matese, suffered where t hto to ten te cent on nee ie e l s d sar a y d o i u v t i l d a e y n ? d o should there be national distress, and an insufficient Why h a y t wealth re main demandun e f a o r r e d labour, for while In n s population was at all proportioned to the extent of territory, would such a state of thing s exist. But many causes have contributed to render Ireland a sad exception to the general rule. Th e proprietors of the soil are generally burdened with heavy encumbrances, the interest on which absorbs the greater part of the incomes derived from their properties._lntieed it has been oelculated that fully one THE SUN, LONDON. half of the rental of that country is taken from the landlords by mortgagees and other claimants. They are, therefore, without the means of improving their properties, however beneficial the consequences would be to themselves and to the people in general. But this is not all, the inducement to do so is also withheld. By far the greater portion of these properties are secured in strict settlement and by binding entails. The needy owner, who may hare a large family of younger children, eamparatively portionless, will not seek still further to enrich his eldest son at the expense of the remainder of his family. He cannot charge the inheritance of the lands with the sums expended on their improvements, not withstanding that inheritance may be thereby ren dered far more valuable. He cannot alienate the useless acres to others, who would be ready and willing to convert them into rich arable and pasture, he cannot even grant a long lease, being tied down in the strictest manner by powers, apparently framed under the supposition that he would, if possible, rob his successor in the most barefaced manner. By these means he is rendered utterly helpless, and unable to take any efficient steps for the introduction of a better system. Of course there are many who form striking exceptions to this class, who well and efficiently discharge the duties incidental to their po sition. But, unfortunately, the great majority are such as we have described, and improvements in such cases are wholly impracticable. But even had the owner the absolute property in his lands, there is a great, although not an insuper able, difficulty interposed, by reason of the compli cated character of the law of real property. Should he desire to borrow money, in order himself to take the necessary steps, or to lease the land to others for that purpose, it will be necessary for him to make out his title thereto, in the first instance, and any one who is at all acquainted with the delays, difficulties, and expenses of such a proceeding in the Green Island, will not be surprised at hearing that it operates as an effectual bar to any step being taken in the great majority of instances. We have thus stated the causes of this singular neglect and apathy—they are not merely the want of capital, but also the want of means, by which the persons effecting the improvements may be made certain of enjoying the fruits thereof, or at least of being recompensed for the amount of their outlay, if deprived of the lands themselves. Extensive leasing powers should be granted to every person possessing even a life interest with respect to lands of less than a certain value. A. compulsory law should be introduced by which every man, unable or unwilling to bring his lands into cultivation, should be obliged to dis pose of them at the fair value to those who would do so. The Government are fully alive to the ne cessity of introducing a just and comprehensive mea sure ; the extraordinary pressure of business, during the present sitting, compelled them to postpone that intention, but we have no doubt that due advantage will be taken of the recess, and that we shall be pre sented with a Bill well matured, and fully equal to meet the difficulties it is desirable to overcome. The Swiss Catholic Gazette contains the following, under date Lucerne, 14th instant : " The Committee charged with preparing the instruc tions to be given to the Diet agreed yesterday to pro pose the following resolution to the Grand Council:— The deputation will declare to the Diet that the Can ton of Lucerne is opposed to all intervention on the part of a majority of twelve cantons in the affair of the Ca tholic League and the Jesuits, and will resist with arms all attempts to enforce the execution of any decree the may issue on the subject."' In its sitting of the 16th the three states of the Prussian Diet adopted, by 220 votes against 115, the Bill for the admission of Jews to all places, except such as are connected with the exercise of other furies of worship, or with religious instruction. The Government communicated on the 16th an order for prolonging the session of the States until the orders of the day shall have been got through. The session is expected to terminate at the end of the present month. The Committee of the first Order has voted by seven votes against three in favour of the periodi cal meetings of the Diet, and it was stated that it had also voted by the same majority against quadrennial committees, and against the deputation. It was even added, that the KING had renounced the right of nomi nating such committees. It was stated that his MA JESTY would close the session by a speech, in which he will reply to all the representations that have been made to him relative to the constitution of the States. In the sitting of the 17th, the Diet voted by 254 votes against 212 the admission of Jews to political and municipal offices, by 222 against 183 for their admission as professors of mathematical, medical, and natural sciences in the Universities, by 223 to 156 votes for the creation of a Jewish theological chair in one of the Universities; but the Diet determined, by 260 votes against 180, that Jews should be excluded from employments connected with elementary in struction, and by 220 votes to 219 against their being allowed to be elected Deputies of the general or pro vincial Diets. The Observateur of Brussels states that orders have been given that the Prussian State Gazette shall not be allowed to enter Austria. - • The High Court of Justice of Vienna lately pro-1 nounced judgment in a case of 33 soldiers, accused of high treason, for participation in the Polish conspi racy of 1835. It acquitted 17, reserving, however, the right to prosecute 'them again if circumstances , should render it advisable. The other 16 were de clared guilty, and condemned to death. The Em- PEROR, however, remitted the penalty of death, and ordered the Aulic Council of War to fix other degrees of punishment. This it has just done, by condemn ing the prisoners to hard labour in fortresses for 18; 15, 12, and 10 years. The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris vibe] the post left on Monday. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Court of Peers met on Monday to hear the report of the Committee on the CUBIERES affair After hearing the report read, the Peers, of whorn 202 were present, proceeded to consider whether there was sufficient ground to place MM. CUBIERES, TESTS, PAEMENTIER, and PALLp- PRAT on their trial. The proceedings are to remain secret until the Court shall have decided on this point. It is said that in the case of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN a different sort of justice will be dealt out, and that although General CUBIERES has been permitted to expose the corruption alleged to have been practised by M. TESTE, M. EMILE DR GIRARDIN will not be permitted to expose the corruption alleged to have been practised by MM. GnizoT and Dc- CHATEL- , We can scarcely credit this assertion, su . b : ce f ct th t e he di e sc o lo u s rr ur i e e s r F o a .] si n g m ai . s de sa ' which is made by the Union M o n arc hi que . O n this f y G s i — rardin and M. Thi baudeau do not produce for MM. Guizot and Duchatel a situation exactly similar to that which the disclosures of General Cubiiires have produced for M. Teste, we do not know what logic is—we cannot comprehend what ho nour is! M. Duchatel protests with force, cries out calumny, and meets all these grievances with the strongest denials. But what matter the denial of M. Duchatel ? Has not M. Teste also thrown back the accusation from the first moment that it was brought forward? Has ho not strongly defended himself in the tribune? Is he the less obliged to appear at the bar of the Court of Peers? We do not say that M. Duchatel is culpable; we merely wish to see him establishing his innocence as clearly as possible. Do you suppose that M. Teste has allowed himself to be guilty ? Do you suppose that at the pre sent moment he is not endeavouring to justify himself completely? And is M. Teste on that account less obliged to appear at the bar . of the Court of Peers ? Once more, we repeat, we do not say that M. Duchatel and 111. uizot are guilty; it is sufficient for us now to declare that they are accused! And, of what offences? Our pen hesitates to state them, so ctifficult is it for us to restrain our disgust. They are accused of having wanted to sell promises of peerages! of having wanted to sell laws! of having sold a theatrical privilege for 100,000f.1 If the accusers are to be crecli,;e d, nothing is sacred for our Ministers, neither the f artune of the citizens nor the public revenue! nothing, not even the law! nothing, not even the character of the legislator! And you suppose, gentlemen, you shall get, for the vague denials which you have uttered in the trib ane of Palais-Bourbon! You are innocent, you say. Fio much the better; we shall be happy if such infamie ,s did not take place under our con stitutional regime. But let your innocence be shown clearly in the open day! It is your interest above all that it should be so! It is your interest that a minute inquiry should remo, fe from your foreheads ev en , the shadow of a stain, the • appearance of a suspicion.' An active intrigi ae is going on in Paris to bring about the downfal • of the Pacheco Ministry in Spain, and to raise Gener a l N AEVAEZ to the post of Prime Minister. The tereneral, it is said, is in hourly expectation ed . legraphic dispatch, requiring his ArtV ice: I 4 WEDNESDAY EVEN ING, JUNE 23, 1847. presence at Madrid. The Seinaine says that a few days ago M. PUNANT, an Attache of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, left for Madrid with dispatches. Three days afterwards M.

The boiler of a locomotive employed on the Amiens and Abbeville Railway burst on Sunday last, and killed the engineer and the stoker. The Presse publishes the following letter from Arles, detailing the prospects of the harvest, and the success of the experiment of growing rice in the south of France. It is dated June 16th : " The growing wheat in our neighbourhood has a most magnificent appearance, but there is another crop still finer, namely, that of rice—a new grain, which has been sown in the salt marshes watered by the Rhone, and which has succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. The Italian farmers, who came here last winter to superintend the cultivation, state that they t never witnessed such a magnificent crop. They believe that the produce of rice this year will not be less than 4,000 pounds weight the hectare (2i acres), and that it will be increased according as the cultivation shall be improved. In Lombardy rice, which is a grain the least liable to injury from a variation of the;temperature, yields 25 for 1, or 7,000 pounds weight per hectare. But it is not necessary for us to carry our pretensions so high, as the annual expense of cultivation, including the interest of the capital employed, is not more than 300 f. (121. sterling) the hectare (2i acres), whilst, calculating the produce at 4,000 pounds weight, at a rate of 30f. for 200 pounds weight, the not profit would amount to 3,000 f. (1201. sterling) the hectare." It is decided, says the Constitutionnel, that there shall be a camp formed this year at Compiegne, and contracts have been made with the farmers for the use of such parts of their fields as will be required for its site. Orders relating to the encampment were sent off on Saturday to the Palace of Compiegne.

This part-heard appeal motion stood in the paper to-day to be further argued, but upon the case being called on its further consideration was postponed, Counsel suggest ing the propriety of doing so, in order to give the parties an opportunity of seeing if they could not compromise the matter. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, HILTON V. LORD GRANVILLE. This case was again resumed at the sitting of the Court this morning, and witnesses on the part of the defendant were called to show that it was not the cus tom in the duchy to remunerate the owners of houses which might be injured by the working of mines below them. and that the expense of repairing them fell in variably on the owners themselves. The case will probably be concluded late this evening. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one case set down for hearing, and .hat was not of the slightest interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) James Sunter, a fashionably-dressed young man, was indicted for stealing a diamond pin from the person of Charles Seivewright, on board one of the River steam boats. The evidence of several watermen showed that the prosecutor got on board the vessel at Nine Elms, and was in the act of landing at the new Pimlico pier, when he was informed that the prisoner had stolen his pin. He then turned round and found the prisoner in custody of the person who had observed the robbery. The prisoner was also seen to attempt to steal the pro secutor's watch, but failed. The jury acquitted the prisoner, and The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE addressing the pri soner, said, Go along, sir, you have had a narrow escape. It is the intention of the Court to visit all you gentle men who go on the river with the severest sentence ; crowded steamboats are too much at your mercy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE RACES.

ERRATUM.—The last sentence but two in our first leading article of yesterday is incorrectly printed ; it should have ended thus:—" Or whether, in obedience to the dictatei of a purer purpose, she is to become the assertor of the national liberties and the object of na tional gratitude, is a consummation still hidden in the womb of futurity." SUICIDE UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.—A man of the name of Stevenson,- who resided at Cross Stabbs, near Barrhead, committed sucide on Thursday morning, under the following singularly painful circum stances :—The person in question, some time ago, was following some business at Leith, and was at that time sentenced for a certain crime to be executed, but through the sympathy and pleadings of a number of in dividuals on his behalf, the sentence was commuted to that of transportation. By some means or other, how ever, he years. managed to escape, after a period of about two At this time he resolved, that whenever in depressed circumstances, or otherwise unfit to maintain himself, he would carry the sentence of the judge into effect, which he did on Thursday last, while under the effects of strong drink, by " hanging himself on a tree " with his own cravat, by the side of Thornly dam, a few hundred yards from Glenfield. The wretched individual tied himself so low, that when discovered his knees nearly touched the ground, which showed how deter mined be must have been in the perpetration of his wicked act.—Renfrewshire Advertiser. SUICIDE or A LUNATIC n BETEILEM HOSPITAL. —Yesterday, Mr. William Payne held an inquest in the the hall of Bethlem Hospital, relative to the death of Sarah Fordend, aged forty-five years, late an inmate, who committed suicide. Alice Crick, head laundry maid, proved that she had known the deceased about three months, as being an inmate of the above institu tion, and an occasional assistant in the washing room. On Monday last, shortly before twelve o'clock, witness and the several washerwomen were partaking of lun cheon in the laundry, when they suddenly missed the deceased. Witness instantly ran into the wash-house, and saw the deceased standing on the top of a large copper, which was then filled with boiling water. Wit ness called to the deceased, but before she could reach her, she jumped into the boiling liquid. Witness ob tained the assistance of another female, but was unable to get the deceased out, as she resisted, and crouched herself down in the water. Several men were hums mediately called in, and the deceased was taken out in about two minutes, in a most frightful condition, and removed to the infirmary. The usual remedies were applied, but the injuries were of such an extensive nature that she expired at six o'clock the same afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary Insanity." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, of which 500 were American for export and 1,000 on speculation. Of the whole quantity 4,000 bales were American at 6d. to 7id., and 300 Surat at 4id. to sd. per lb. The market was firm throughout, but without excitement, and prices were steadily supported. There was a better inquiry for Shares. At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. La mond and Co., prices were steady, in the absence of any ♦ery active demand. The following are a few of the principal sales : Leicester & Bedford, Exchange Certificate £0 12 0 Louvain kla Sambre Manchester and Southampton 0 9 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 5 7 0 Vale of Neath London and South-Western (scrip) Great Northern Great Luxembourg Ceylon Shropshire Union and Canal 2 4 0 South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 3 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 1 7 0 Newport and Abergavenny East Lincolnshire North Staffordshire The arrivals of corn in the principal ports of the conti nent continue on a scale commensurate with those which are noticed here and in Ireland. At Trieste forty corn laden ships reached the port in one day, and this, with the prospect of magnificent crops, had caused a fall of one florin per stajo in wheat. At Ypres seven vessels arrived in a few hours, with 40,000 kilogrammes, con signed to the municipal administration of Antwerp. But for this timely supply, the dealers would have run up prices. The exports of grain from Cronstadt, from the open ing of the navigation to the sth June, were 295,858 chetwerts. The news by the Overland Mail from India does not read very encouragingly in reference to the markets. though satisfactory in its political bearings. The im portant doings at Canton are highly approved of, as affording the readiest plan for compelling the Celestials to " stick to their bargain."

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY A fair average quantity of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week, and the show of samples of that article here was moderate. Owing to the large importations of foreign Wheat, the trade was very dull, and to have effected sales a decline of quite Is per quarter must have been submitted to. With foreign Wheat we were heavily supplied; however, sales progressed slowly, on somewhat easier terms. The in quiry for Barley was heavy, and prices were not sup ported. In Malt next to nothing was done, at almost nominal figures. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were a mere drug. Flour was d u ll, an d decidedly lower. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley: Oats Flour.

Yesterday morn ing her husband rose at the usual hour, and went into an adjoining room for a short time, leaving his wife in bed and apparently asleep. On his return, a few minutes afterwards, he saw her suspended by the neck to a rope, which she had made fast to a bed-post. He cut her down immediately, and called in a surgeon, who pronounced her to be quite dead. THE GREAT BarrAix.--There is every hope now entertained that this noble vessel will be got off in the end of next month. The most active preparations are going on for the purpose. Upwards of twenty boxes, of immense size and strength, are being completed on the beach, and all is expected to be in readiness to make the effort by the latter end of July.—Downpatrick Recorder. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. {THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock. HORNE'S (FERGUSON'S) ESTATE BILL. The report on this Bill was brought up and agreed to. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The reports on the following Bills were further consi dered and agreed to: — Leeds Waterworks (No. 2). Manchester Corporation Waterworks (Power to sell to the Manchester and Salford Waterworks Company). Taunton Improvement and Market. THIRD READINGS. The followingßills were read a third time and passed: Caledonian Railway (Edinburgh Station and Branches to Granton and to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way). Edinburgh and Northern Railway (Branch from Burn tisland to Dunfermline Branch, &c.—No. 2.) LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' Amendments to the following Bills were further considered and agreed to: — Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway. Norfolk Railway (from Thetford to the Lowestoft Rail way, near Reedham, with a branch to Halesworth). HEALTH OF TOWNS. Mr. MONTAGUE GORE presented petitions from different parts of Devonshire in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. Mr. JOHN O'BRIEN presented a petition from S. Maxwell Cullinan, of Ennis, praying that the same pri vileges in relation to professional communications which are now enjoyed by lawyers, clergymen, and solicitors, may be extended to surgeons and physicians. Also, a petition from the citizens of Limerick, in public meeting assembled, praying for the abolition of ministers money, and that the present incumbents may be indemnified. DROPPED NOTICES OF MOTION. The dropped notices of motion were re-appointed. DROPPED ORDERS OF THE DAY. The dropped orders of the day were also re appointed ORDERS OF THE DAY. Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving that the orders of the day be now read, stated that it was his intention to move to-day that the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, which stood first in the orders of the day for committal, should be committed pro forma, in order that the Bill might be reprinted, and committed on a future day. He also wished to state, with respect to the Health of Towns Bill, that he proposed to take that measure into consi deration, not as he had stated the other day, to-morrow, but on Friday. He should on that day, on the motion for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply, move, that the House proceed with the further consideration of that important measure. Captain HARRIS was anxious to know what course the Government intended to pursue with respect to the Highways Bill. That was a measure of great import ance, and ought, in his opinion, to be proceeded with. Sir GEORGE GREY agreed with the Gallant Member that the measure was a most important one, and he trusted that the consideration it would receive in Committee would remove the objections that had been urged against it. He had been in hopes that he would have been enabled to have pro ceeded with the measure that day, but as he did ❑ot wish to interfere with the measure on which the Hon. Mem ber for Dorsetshire addressed the House last Wed nesday—the Poor Removal Act Amendment Bill—he would refrain from proceeding with the measure to-day, trusting that the House would sit at twelve o'clock on Monday, in order to proceed with the Bill, and thereby enable it to pass during the present session. Mr.BANKES felt indebted to the Right Hon. Baronet for the course he proposed to pursue. He trusted, how ever, that the Government would not neglect to proceed with the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, as that was a measure of the utmost importance. He had been informed that the insurance offices had declined to enter into any new transactions until either the Bill was re jected or adopted. He hoped, therefore, that the Go vernment would fix some early day for proceeding with the measure. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD corroborated what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman, and he hoped the Noble Lord would inform the House of his intention. Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted that the Bill was a very important one, but at the same time very difficult. It was felt to be so before its introduction. It was, how ever, introduced by the Lord Chancellor, and had come down to the House of Commons. He proposed now that it should go into Committee pro forma. When it had gone through Committee he should fix an early day for its consideration, which the Government were de sirous to have soon. He was convinced that the opera tion of the Bill would not be such as at all to give any ground for those fears which bad been mentioned in certain quarters. Mr. F. FRENCH objected to the Bill proceeding, for it would injure proprietors to a very great extent indeed. Mr. ESTCOURT asked whether he was quite right in understanding that the Noble Lord had postponed the Health of Towns Bill to Friday, for he did under stand before that he had given notice of it for next week ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said ho had given notice of it for Friday, and he was sure that after this early no tice it would not produce any inconvenience. After some further conversation, Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that he would take the Highways Bill on Friday next at twelve o'clock. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. The Bill then went through Committee pro found, to be further considered on Friday at twelve o'clock. HIGHWAYS BILL. This Bill was also committed pro forma, in order to be considered on Friday at twelve o'clock. SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill. Mr. SPOONER, in answer to a question from Mr. C. Berkeley, :aid he would certainly move that the second clause should be expunged. On clause three being read, Mr. C. BERKELEY objected to costs being allowcd in case of bills of indictment which had been preferred, but not sustained. lie moved that the clause should be expunged. Mr. HENLEY thought the words " compensation for trouble and loss of time " in the clause were much too wide, and gave a great deal too much power to compen sate a prosecutor. ' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought these words might be omitted, and the whole left to the present course in criminal law. The clause so amended was agreed to, as were clauses four, five, six, and seven. Mr. TRELAWNY thought that clause one would clearly encourage conspiracy against individuals. Mr. ROEBUCK felt he had a disagreeable duty to discharge, but he did it as one of the Committee. Ile had *always objected to the Bill, and his ground for so doing was, that the Bill travelled altogether out of the sphere of legis lation, and the effect of the law would positively be vicious. (LI.FT SITTING.) --- JOSEPH ADY DEFEATED AT LAST.—A summons was heard on the 18th inst., before Mr. Sergeant Man ning, the Judge of the New Court at Whitechapel, in which the notorious Joseph Ady was the defendant, on the plaint of Mr. G. R. Dodd, a solicitor, of New Broad street, City. It appeared from the statement of Mr Rhodes, the clerk to the plaintiff, that the latter, some time back, received from Ady one of his circulars, pro mising, as usual, some valuable information on the re ceipt of a fee of 11., which was afterwards paid to him on his giving a receipt in writing, coupled with an un dertaking to return the money in case the promised in formation proved erroneous or useless. In return for his fee Joseph sent the plaintiff a number of papers, con sisting chiefly of lists of unclaimed dividends, and re ports of cases in which he had figured as defendant be fore the magistrates, and, as ho asserted, proved his. innocence of 'the fraud imputed to him, together with some absurd cautions against joining certain public companies, all of which were utterly, useless to the plaintiff, who, in consequence, demanded the return of his money, according to the condition upon which he had paid it. This being refused _by Ady, the summons was taken out against him, and the Judge, after hearing Ady's solicitor, who made the best of his bad case, de cided that the money should be repaid to the plaintiff, with all his expenses, within a week from the hearing of the summons.
