rtrD ._.i_.bitto-n SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Ream 22, before Mr. Examiner Smati and Mr. Assistant- Examiner FREEZE.) UNOPPOSED LIST. The customary formal proofs were completed in the fol lowing cases:— South Union Insurance Company. Midland Railway Extension eta Bedford to Hitchin, and to Northampton, Huntingdon, and enlargement of the Leicester Station. Midland Railway (Leicester and Swannington Railway, widening Deviations, and Branches enlargement of Leicester Station, and extending powers as to Ibstock Branch.) Theywood Improvement.

South-Eastern Railway, London-bridge Station, arrange ment and enlargement. OPPOSED . SOUTH - YORKSHIRE, AND LIST DONCASTER AND GOOLE RAILWAY. This adjourned opposed case was then resumed. The pe tition was strongly opposed by the Midlands, the Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Goole Companies, several land holders, and one or two corporate bodies. The ease occupied nearly the whole of the day, but only two allega tions were sustained, and these were of no very great im portance. The allegations went to impugn the aceuracy of the sections; but the engineer of the line explained that, in point of fact, the defects arose from the shrinking of the paper upon which the plans and sections had been prepared. The case was adjourned. (Boost 23, before; Mr Examiner MAY and Mr. Assistant- Examiner GUNNELL.) UNOPPOSICD LIST.

Lord DENMAN intimated that the Court would give judg. *lent in this case on Saturday, a full report of which ap. petted in The Sun of Saturday evening. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of term, a considerable number of motions were disposed of, and several judgments delivered, none of which, however, presented the slightest feature of interest to any other than the parties immediately concerned COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY WOOLET V. DAVIS. In this registration appeal, the last of the list remaining for decision, the Court this morning gave judgment in favour of the appellant. The case came from Monmouthshire, and the point raised was respecting a notice of objection served on the appellant. The notice in question was addressed to the residence of the party, but the name in the superscrip tion was not the proper name of the farm, or place of resi dem, but another by which it was alleged the place was usirilTy known. The Revising Barrister decided the notice to be good ; hence the present appeal. SPRING ASSIZES. The following Commission days have been appointed for the Circuits, as under : HOME CIRCUIT.

He should do this because he had last session the honour of being chaff man of the Committee appointed to consider the ..omation railway s, and he therefore thought it his duty to draw the attention of the House to great abuses which had been found to exist. In one case, in conse quence of the notice of amalgamation of one line, from which it was anticipated that only a revenue of three per cent., but for which an agreement was entered inso to pay the lessors ten; per cent., the capital was so raised in value that the proprietors were enabled to raise the capital to 250 per cent. in value. The Committee ' over which ho presided had accordingly made a report to the House strongly drawing the attention of the Go vernment to the reports of several of the lines for which Bills had been obtained, and expressed a hope that some measnres would be taken in the present session to remedy the evil. As it was now known that several of the companies who obtained their Bills last session, but who had not put a spade into the ground, were coming to the House for powers of amalgamation, he trusted the Government would provide some means of stopping the abuses to which he referred. Mr. HODGSON said, that in the case to which refe rence had been made, no doubt great mischief had en sued, but the evil had not extended to any of the direct northward and southward lines. He trusted, however, that the recommendation would be attended to by the Government. Mr. STRUTT quite agreed that this was a subject of great importance, and a Bill was already in a very for ward state of preparation, which would be introduced at as early a period as possible; but as his Hon. Friend the Member for Coventry had given notice of the question he intended to propose to-morrow week, he would avail himself of that opportunity to enter more fully into ex planation of the intended provisions of the Bill. The Manchester and Lincolnshire Amalgamation Bill was then read a second time. SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were also read a second time:— Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Branch to Chapeltown and Thurgoland Coal Branch). Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Ash ton Canal Purchase). Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Branch to Bugsworth). Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshiro Railway (Shef field Canal Purchase).

Yeo►il, Bridport, and Exeter Railway, with Branches. LONDON, OXFORD, AND CHELTENHAM RAIL WAY AND BRANCHES. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Colonel SIBTHORP said, that it was almost impos sible to hear what was going on in that House— (Laughter)—because, what with the noise of Members passing up and down the House, and the low tone in which the names were read by the clerk at the table, it was almost impossible to hear the names of the several Bills. He knew that it was exceedingly difficult to take the sense oqthe House—(Laughter)—or even to look for anything like a favourable result as regarded any: opposition to the Bill, but he was determined to pursue the independent course he had always adopted, by assenting to none of them.—(Loud laughter.) He knew that he would be unsuccessful in opposing the second reading, but he felt bound to do so, as he had taken very great pains in looking over all the papers relative to this, and the opposition line (th e Cheltenham and Oxford) which was then before the examining Committee. _He was no friend to railways, and would rather meet a respectable highwayman than a railway surveyor at any time.—(Laughter.) The Bill, despite the Mon. and Gallant Member's opposition, was read a second time. S4JPPLY OF SEED (IRELAND.) Sir J. DUKE presented a petition from Clare and its neighbourhood (as we understood), from a number of tenant-farmers occupying from 20 to 60 acres each, praying the Government to render them some assistance in obtaining the seedinecessary for sowing their land, and thereby obtaining crops in the ensuing year, and pre venting a recurrence of the sad visitation which had afflicted the country in the present year. TEN HOURS' BILL. • Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. IRISH DISTESS. Mr. D. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the corporation of Dublin, praying the Government to adopt some speedy measures to meet the prevailing distress in Ireland. FOOD FOR IRELAND. Mr. MACARTHY presented a petition from the poor-relief committees of Cork, setting forth that there were 4,757 persons at present in the workhouses con nected with that city, and 174 persons in the fever hos pital; and that, notwithstanding that the soup depOts distributed daily 7,000 quarts of soup, the amount of distress was still most alarmingly on the increase; that the prices of provisions were already double the usual price, and they prayed the Government to adopt some measures to obtain a supply of food, to keep down the present ri s ing prices of provisions, and thereby mitig a t e th e existing distress. LIGHT-HOUSES. Mr. BELL presented a petition praying for the aboli. tion of the light-house dues. THE COLONIES. Mr. GOULBURN presented apetition, praying that the measures promised last session with respect to the introduction of sugar, might not be of a temporary, but of a permanent nature. IRELAND. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition from Carrie mickcross, setting forth that the want of proper security of tenure and legalised compensation for the improve ment of the soil were the causes of all the agrarian dis turbances that had taken place, and praying for reme dial measures. his consent to it, but, as at present framed, the motion wes quite impracticable. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with the Noble Lord who had last spoken, that the crier would, in the first place, be impracticable; and, in the second, useless, if obtained. When it was so very difficult to find out a judgment in one particular case, he would leave their Lordships to judge of the impracticability when applied to all mankind. They would have a return of debts comprising, perhaps, two or three hundred mil lions, and yet they would not be able to say what pro portion of that sum remained unpaid. Lord BROUGHAM—There was another reason which Completely demonstrated the inutility of the re turn. In every case the balance remaining unpaid was no test whatever of the burdens affecting landed pro perty in Ireland, ceeause it only applied to such property as came into the Court of pc C ro h eu a pr n rt c i e e oft r e y r o c r wh a ea r n ne y c ef o ruy f r t t uo h rt e C u aten o ye u n r o t ef s u g ci h f thecommont ucokeepurtcourts 00 1 fu a wt law,. ef the no matter how much his estates were mortgaged, the Court would have no knowledge of it. Earl MOUNTCASHEL said that had he moved for a return of the four courts his motion would then have been open to the objections urged against it; he had, however, only moved for a return of "the total amount of the sums appearing to be due for debt, damages, and costs, upon all decrees, orders, and judgments, ill Ireland re-docketed pursuant to the Acts of %Geo. IV., c. 35, and 7 and 8 Vict., c . 99." Under the lett er of those Acts a particular office was established in which was to be registered all the different claims to the property in Ireland. Since the passing of that Act those claims had been registered, and it was only a return of those claims so registered that he wished to obtain by his present motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR —The Act of 9th Geo. IV. was passed a great many years since, and in order to obtain the returns made under that Act, a great deal of trouble and extensive research would be required. All the judgments had no doubt been re docketed since the time of the judgments having been delivered, and the result, when obtained, would give only-- Lord BROUGHAM—An erroneous view. The LORI) CHANCELLOR —Just so ; and the first of his objections would still remain unanswered, namely, what amount of debts remained at present unpaid. After a few words from the Marquis of WEST MEATH, Lord BROUGHAM suggested the propriety of post poning the motion until an opportunity had been afforded of consulting the officers of the courts in Ireland. Earl MOUNTCASHEL, although he thought it a matter of great importance that the returns he bad moved for should be obtained, still he had no objection to postpone his motion for a short time. USE OF SUGAR IN DISTILLERIES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition, numerously signed by landed proprietors,!tenant-farmers, and others, in the county of Stirling, in Scotland, complaining that the duty proposed to be levied by the Governmentot 41d. aer gallon on rum would leave the distilleries of Scot lpnd worse by Bd., the present amount of duty levied upon malt whiskey being 4s. 10d. This was a part in the Government plan, which, when it was brought before their Lordships, would no doubt cause considerable diffi culty. It was, however, no part of the plan of the Govern ment to prevent distilation from malt, but only to admit sugar to be used in distillation paripassu. He would not go into any discussion on the subj. ct at the present moment. LIVERPOOL AND THE IRISH POOR. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition signed by the Mayor of Liverpool, Mr. Lawrence, the magis trates of the borough, and by several of the most respectable and opulent inhabitants, calling the attention of their Lordships to the great additional bur den imposed upon that parish by the immense influx of destitute Irish poor, and praying their Lordships would pass a law to compel the Irish people to support their own poor like the people of this country. The petition deserveed the most earnest attention of the hadcome House. lt stated over that from ini fourteenrelaud and day s 11,104 located e paupers themselves in that town, namely, 5,737 men, 3,497 women, and 1,870 children, making an average of 800 per day during the last six weeks. By a letter from the mayor, it appeared that on 'Thursday last upwards of 1,100 came over. He said, "There have arrived to-day (the 29th) by two steamers only, no less than 1,124, and we have received information that thousands of persons are begging their way to the Irish ports in Ireland, with the intention of seeking food in this country, and chiefly in this town of Liverpool." Theso melancholy facts were undoubtedly true, as they were collected by the officers of justice and the muni cipal officers. He thought it best to postpone any obser vations on this subject until the measures lately pro posed by her Majesty's Ministers for relieving the Irish peor were before their Lordships, but he could not help calling their attention to a few facts having relation to this matter. By the Act passed last year for the removal of the poor, c. 117, a place like Liverpool had the power of sending immigrants to the places from whence they came, but they were compelled to do so at their own expense. The counties were compelled, however, to pay a portion of the expense of this transmission. A subsequent Act was passed which threw the expense upon the unions. But the expense was frequently considerable, as delays often took place in finding their proper settlements, or that during the interval they were thrown upon an ex hausting and exhausted population. Liverpool was already overburdened with her own poor, and the result was that these immigrants located themselves in the poorest districts, and increased the poverty and disease. That was one object. But there was another evil and another mischief—that was the mischief which arose from what he called preaching. Very nice preaching for the preachers, for it cost them nothing but a very different matter for those whom he might style the preachees. But, as he said, it was a very expensive business for the preachees like his friend, Mr. Horsley, who absolutely paid 900/. a-year, for the support of the poor—the Irish poor—on the buildings of his warehouses. Now, at the cost of being called one of those hard-hearted wretches on whom so much abuse had been poured—for, as his late Noble Friend Lord Ellibank had said, and he perfectly agreed with him, that it was an erroneous doctrine that the poor were entitled to be fed from the land. It was said that they had the land, and that the poor had a right to be fed from the land. This doctrine he denied. He denied that the poor had any right to be fed from the land. He denied that the poor had any right to be fed by the Government, or to have work provided by the Government. But they had a right.. They had a claim. They had a right to be fed by their own labour, and by nothing else. The duty of Govern ment was not to feed the people or to provide work for them, but their duty was to remove all obstructions out of the way of the people that might hinder them from obtaining work, and that might prevent them from earning food. And who was it that was attacking the political echnomists? l —Why, the dis c ipl es o f M r. Pitt. It was stub that i‘ r.

Sir R H. INGLIS presented a petition from the clergymen of Huddersfield in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. and spend what money they pleased. The measnre was limited to the Ist of October in the present year, before which time it was calculated that seven millions of money would be required. Now he thought that by this time the eyes of her Majesty's Government ought to have been opened, and that a measure of per manent relief would have been introduced, in stead of such a temporary scheme as the present No other measure would suffice to meet the existing ca lamity and provide a permanent remedy but an efficient Poor-law. That the resources of Ireland were quite sufficient to support all its population was well known. It had been admitted the other evening by the Noble Lord at the head of the Government that Ireland could, if duly cultivated, support seventeen millions of a population. It was, therefore, too had that the people of that country should be continually dependent on the funds raised by the distressed and overtaxed working population of this kingdom.—(Hear.) He had also received in the course of this year a very extraordinary proof of the capabilities of Ireland. He moved for a return of certain imports to this country last year, and he found that a quantity of corn, cattle, sheep, and swine, amounting to 7,000,0001. sterling had been imported. He also received from Ireland, in the course of last year, an ac count of the quantity of butter, cheese, and other articles imported, as well as the quantity supplied to the army and navy, and the whole amount, together with the seven millions already mentioned, would amount to ten millions. These were most extraordinary capa bilities on the part of a country in a state of starvation — a country that could land from its shores this quantity of food. He trusted that her Majesty's Government and the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland would take means to . ascertain what had become of, and into whose pockets these ten millions had gone before they called on the House to vote away this large sum of money taken from the hard earnings and labour of the people of this country. He was aware that out of 98,982 people in the workhouses in Ireland, on the 2d of January in this year, 18,988 were able-bodied persons, and he would ask the House, were such grants to be made to keep people who were capable of labour? He had doubts, too, whether the law could be carried out, while a distinguished member of the Government (the Marquis of Lansdowne) had stated that it was almost impossible to carry into effect out-door relief ; but still there were classes of persons for whom some thing ought to be done to secure them relief, such as the aged, sick, and infirm. After such a declaration, it was highly important that this measure should be settled first. The Bill did not contain provision for en forcing its clauses, and he thought this defect ought to be remedied. A case occurred only the other day at the Castlebar union which fully proved this. The guardians of that union assembled to consider the bankrupt con dition of that union, and Mr. Otway, the chairman, pro posed that 600 paupers should be received—the number for which the house had been erected. Thirteen voted against the proposition, and but three in its support. Mr. Otway then proposed to the board an arrangement by which the 106 paupers in the house—less than the third part for which it was erected—should be provided for; but that arrangement was not agreed to, be bause the collector stated that he would not be able to collect the rate without the aid of the mili tary power. Now, the country must be in a very dreadful state when such means were necessary. It appeared, however, that rents could be collected without any difficulty. In the Conciliation Hall a Mr. F. Riley, a solicitor of the county of Mayo, in spealeing about the collection of rents, stated that " amidst the general destruction of the crops in that district the landlords were enforcing the payment of their rents. At the last sessions there were no less than sixteen Bills for the recovery of rent. In point of fact, Lord Devon's commission proved his argument. Workhouses to the number of ninety-nine thousand two hundred had been built with borrowed money. The exchequer advanced one million and forty thousand pounds. An HON. MEMBER—It will be repaid. Mr. WILLIAMS was exceedingly glad to hear it, but it would be the first public money lent to Ireland which would be so.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") Ile Noble Lord had quoted the statement of Sir Thomas More the other evening, respecting the condi tion of the people of this country a hundred years ago. But what was the cause of the great change for the worse which then took place? It arose from a change of landlords, the property being taken from the monasteries and religious institutions which had maintained the poor, and given to the parasites and favourites of the Court. Let them introduce a proper poor-law into Ireland, so as to give proper security to life and property. Let them pursue the same course that was pursued when the 43d of Elizabeth was passed. Before the passing of that Act, executions and other punishment for offences against life and pro perty were prevalent to an enormous extent, but on its introduction. These offences at once diminished. Let the same course be pursued towards Ireland, where there were at present existing a million of people who only received 2s to 2s. 6d. per week wages, Seeing where, in this country, the condition of Ireland was the subject of conversation, and the cause of all their wretchedness and suffering was to be traced to their be longing to a particular place. In himself, however, he did not attribute the distress to this cense, because in Canada and America there were large quantities of Irishmen competing and successfully too with Scotchmen, Eng lishmen, and in feet with persons who had emigrated from the most distinguished and industrious nations of the earth. The truth was the idleness of the people of Ireland was to be traced to the deficiency of their wages. What could be expected of a man who only received 2s. 6d. per week ? He had only one more observation to make before he sat down. He wished to call attention to a class of gentlemen that he thought ought to bear the burdens of Ireland much more so than the hard working people of this country. Now it had been stated by an Irish nobleman of high rank, namely, the Earl of Mountcashel, that the rental of Ireland was thirteen millions per annum, but that at lea s t t en mil lions were paid for incumbrances. The land lords should also be taxed. There was another class who should be considered in reference to this sub ject. He would compel the mortgagees of land in Ire land to pay their share, because the interest upon mort gages in Ireland bore a higher rate than elsewhere. — (No, no.) Now that class (the landlords) were very mnch favoured with regard to taxation. The taxation upon articles of consumption in this country was exceed ingly heavy, while in Ireland it amounted to only four millions and a half. There was no country which had less taxation for her population or ability than Ireland. He would conclude by moving the resolution. Mr. B. OSBORNE rose, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo] sack shortly betbreyive o'clock. NEW PEERAGE. The Earl of ELLESMERE was introduced by the Earl of Wilton and the Earl St. Germans, and having been sworn took his seat on the Earls' bench PROPERTY IN IRELAND. Earl MOUNTCASHELL moved for the returns of which he gave notice the other night, for all the present ments which had been made to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and all the attachments that had been issued by that Court, distinguishing those which respected the property of lunatics and minors, together with the accounts showing how far the moneys had been paid during the last year. Lord BROUGHAM said it was utterly impossible to obtain the returns, even if they were confined to the specific object, at least for any useful purpose. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that they could only be obtained by some officer of the Court searching through all the documents which had been presented at the Court between the Ist of January, 1846, and the Ist of January, 1847. And even if they were obtained, it would be at so late a period as not to be available for the present session. At the same time they must, of neces sity, be very imperfect. Lord BROUGHAM—Of course ; for even if the docu ments were searched the accounts would be wrong, for the payments on affairs of previous years would be neces sarily mixed up with the return. Earl MOUNTCASHEL said that his desire was to obtain a fair representation of the state of affairs in Ireland, especially when it was likely there would be great calls upon it ; and that it would prove of great service if the returns were made, for the information was necessary not only for the House but for the coun try, and that was the reason why he desired to obtain them. LUC ASYLUMS. The Duke of RICIIMNATIOND gave notice that he should to-morrow night move for the reappointment of the Se lect Commitee on Pauper Lunatic Asylums which had existed two years ago. THE SUN,_ LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1841 could not get any person to serve, although he had offered a shilling in the pound and car-hire to any person who would serve them. Most of the persons against whom the writs had been obtained were gone to the public works, or to Scotland, and perhaps some of them to Liverpool, with his money in their pockets, and taking the soup of that town for nothing. On the estate itself the windows of the houses were filled with straw, and they had altogether the appearance of a besieged city. This agent had en deavoured to tempt them to pay their rents, by bribing them with a promise of remitting in some cases one-half of the amounts due, and in others one third, if they would only pay the remainder; but all the temptations were of no avail. This was owing to the laws of this country, which encouraged the people in their fraud, and held out to them an inducement to knavishness by allowing them to go free of the punishment which they justly merited. There was a piece of land in Westmeath which the law called his, but he did not derive any advantage from it, and were the Government to come forward and say " You must pay for the support of the poor on that land?" He felt deep regret at the statements put forward in the petition; but such a state of things did not warrant the repeated insinua tions—for they were direct charges—which were made towards Irish landowners. No one—no Irishman —felt more grateful than he did for the relief which this country had given to the poor of Ireland ; but he apprehended that the Irish landlords were not to blame, and, therefore, he considered such statements ought not to go forth without contradiction. He, for one, did not want money from England. " Give the benefit of my estate, and I will do with out it." lie regretted if he had speken with warmth, but he could not help it, as these sentiments had been " boiling in his breast" for years, and as he wished to show that the class to which he belonged were not to blame. Lord BROUGHAM explained that he had studiously avoided making any charges or insinuations derogatory to the Irish landowners. He admitted that the Irish landlord had not the same power over his land as the English landlord. Their Lordships then adjourned.

Rutter, Esq., coroner, at the - Unicorn Inn, .Kersley, on the bodies of James Cowsill, aged forty, William Cowsill his son, Peter Harrison, aged thirty-eight, and William John son, aged thirty, all bricksetters, whose deaths had been caused by suffocation whilst at their work its a coal-pit on Tuesday evening. The particulars of this melancholy event are as follows : Thetrustees of the late Mr. Fletcher had engaged the above named, with other workmen to sink a new coal-pit-at Spindle Point. in the township of Kersley. The pit had been excavated to the depth of sixty-one yards, and two sets of workmen were emp l oyed eight hours alternately, the miners in the day-time, and the bricksetters in the night. On Tuesday evening the latter workmen descended the pit, and continued to work till half-past nine o'clock, when they suspended their employment for half an hour for refreshment, and resumed their work about ten. At that hour it was expected that the miners would renew their work, and they were on their way to the pit for that purpose; but in consequence of the dreadful storm of thunder, lightning, and wind which was then raging, they were compelled to return home. The bricksetters, therefore, were lowered down into the pit by William Howarth, the banksman, and nothing occurred till half-past one o'clock, when Howarth heard a loud rum bling noise, like thunder, from the bottom of the pit. Imme diately afterwards an immense flame issued from the mouth of the pit, ascending from six to eight yards above the Surface of the pit-bank. Such was the force of the lame that Ho warth, who was standing near the pit's •mouth, was thrown three or four yards distant. Immediately afterwards, on re covering from his alarm, he heard another noise from the bottom of the pit, as if from the fall of a heavy substance, and ran to an adjoining pit for assistance. He instantly returned, and shouted with all his might to the men in the pit, but obtained no answer. He then sent for the over-looker, John Wallwork, who descended about two o'clock into the pit, and there discovered the dead bodies of the four men. Wall work found all the scaffolding removed except two sidebearers and a single plank. His brother afterwards went into the pit ; and on closely examining the dead bodies they were found to be dreadfully burnt. In his evidence, John Wall work stated that he had been in the pit at nine o'clock, when everything appeared to be safe. He had learnt that last week, whilst the workmen were boring through the rock, they discovered a slight fissure, from which a small quantity of gas escaped. To this circumstance no importance was attached by .the men, who proceeded „with their work as usual, and shortly afterwards reached a bed of metal. Mr. Wallbrook added, that stormy weather had always consi derable influence on the air in coal-mines ; that the scaf folding was so tightly fitted within the pit as to prevent the free escape of air; that, in his opinion, a collection of gas h a d formed under it, a sli g ht i ssue from which ' had come in con tact with a lighted candle used in the pit, and thas caused the explosion. • Nathan Walker, a sinker, with other workmen, stated that they had fired two or three aide-shots in the pit between two and three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and at that time did not apprehend any danger. A verdict was returned by the jury of " Died from suf focation." NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. F. FRENCH gave notice that, in Committee on the Poor Relief Bill, he should move amendments to the first and second clauses. Mr. O'CONNELL also gave notice of his intention ,o move amendments in Committee. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move for a Committee of the whole House for the purpose of extending the Poor-law Act to Ireland. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that, tomorrow, he should make an inquiry respecting the committal of two children in the county of Essex, who were said to have been sent to prison and heavily fined for taking a small quantity of turnips from a field. Sir B. HALL gave notice of his intention to move for certain returns connected with the poor-rates of Ireland. Mr. GRATTAN gave notice that, to-morrow, he would move for returns of the rich absentees from Ireland, specifying names, numbers, county, and property, as far as they could be made up. A return of the poor had been ordered, and he thought it ought to be accompanied with a return of the rich. FOREIGN WINES. Alderman THOMPSON moved for a return of the number of gallons of foreign wine imported into this country. HOUSE OF KEYS. Dr. BOWRING wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any correspondence had taken place with Government with reference to the sub ject of reform in the House of Keys, in the Isle of Man, and whether any memorials had been presented on the subject, and if so, whether such would be produced ? Sir GEORGE GREY—Such correspondence had been received, and there was no objection to its production. HAYDOCK LODGE ASYLUM. Mr. OWEN STANLEY wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary, if Govern ment intended to take any steps with reference to the disclosures made at this establishment. --.....--- Sir GEORGE GREY said that a report had been received from the Commissioners of Lunacy, and it was intended that that report, with the evidence on which it was founded, should be laid before the House, till which time he did think it expedient to say what steps should be taken in reference to it. Mr. STANLEY wished again to ask if it was pro posed to make any amendment with regard to the and 9 Viet., chap. 26, in reference to county asylums. A very great difficulty had arisen with regard to borrowing money from the consolidated fund. Sir GEORGE GREY was not prepared to say that there was any Bill then proposed to be brought in on the subject. WELLING TON STATUE. Captain POLHILL wished to know from the Noble Lord opposite, whether it was intended to allow the Wellington statue to remain in its present position. Lord MORPETH said that Government had inti mated to the sub-committee their wish that the statue should be removed from the place where it now was. LABOURING POOR (IREAND) BILL. On the order for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. WILLIAMS rose to propose the amendment, of which he had given notice—" That the second reading (and all other stages in this House) of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, shall have precedence of the said Labour ing Poor (Ireland) Bill." The course which the Go vernment had adopted was rendered most necessary. It was called for by the whole population of Ireland, and the Government had responded to that call. The Hon. Member for - ,Limerick had said that the Government ought to be impeached for their conduct. He hoped that expression escaped from the Honourable Member in the heat of debate, and was not his deliberate opinion. He, however, considered that the Poor-law Amendment Act ought to take precedence over all other measures. In his opinion it would be the only means by which a recurrence of those calamities which: had occurred could be averted. All remedial measures with out an additional poor-law wonld be useless.

They were not sufficiently informed as to the state of property, or the management of landed property in Ireland. lie was sure that if their Lordships knew the truth they would not form so mistaken a judgment of the liability of the landlords, and those interested in the soil of Ireland ; still, if their Lordships were of opinion that this was not the proper mode of obtaining the information he required, he should be happy to adopt any other form. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the object the Noble Lord had in view might be obtained by the adop tion of a simple form, namely, by stating the amount pair: by receivers in that year, and moneys paid in to account of lunatics. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE did not think that a motion so worded would answer the purpose, for it would altogether depend on the manner in which the tenantry paid the rents. As far as he (the Marquis Clanricarde) could understand, his Noble Friend com plained that they paid no rents at all. He understood his Noble Friend to wish for a return of the real state of property in Ireland, and he thought, therefore, that some way should be adopted to get from the receivers the sums paid in by them to the Masters in Chancery. The Earl of MOUNTCASIIEL then withdrew his motion. [ICELAND.-MORTGAGED ESTATES. The Earl of MOUNTCASIIEL then moved for a return of the total amount of the sums appearing to be due for debt, damages, and costs, upon all decrees, orders, and judgments in Ireland, re-docketed pursuant to the Act of 9th Geo. IV., cap. 35, or registered pursuant to the 7th and Bth Vict., cap. 99, and now appearing to be Fe -docketed or registered in the office for registering judgments in Ireland ; distinguishing those which are in debt from those which are in case. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought that if this motion were carried out the officers of the Court would be always employed upon it and the other business of the office. If the Noble Lord could frame his motion in such a way as not to incommode or hinder the other business of tho Courts, ho should be very happy to give SNOW STORM. ....,ESUL TS OF ASTRONOMY. According to a conjecture first made by the great Herschell, and afterwards further developed and ren dered intelligible by Madler, the entire system of fixed stars forms, if we may use the expression, a single lens shaped canopy. That is, we, with our sun, are situated nearly in the middle of a space, having the form of two watch-glasses, placed with the concave surfaces towards each other. The surfaces of this canopy are studded tolerably equally with fixed stars. But as we are a thousand times nearer those situated above and below than those at the edges of this hollow lens, so the distances between the stars immediately above us seem greater, whilst the legion of those dis tributed at the edge are seen in densely crowded masses We may consider the Milky Way as the edge and furthermost limit of this set of fixed stars, where the infinitely distant crowds of stars are collected in such masses, that their light flows together into a whitish cloud, and no longer permits us to isolate one star from another. Beyond this our lens, Herschel and the most recent astronomers imagine that the spots of clouds which appear like oval flakes in the sky, are other entirely dis tinct and independent systems, which float at such an immeasurable distance from us, that the light has to wander millions of years in reaching to us. It is, however, as we before remarked, sufficient for our purpose to take into consideration only the stars of the twelfth magnitude, from which the light can travel to us in four thousand years. From what we have al ready said, viz., that the ray of light meeting our eye is not sent forth from the star at the same moment, but arrives here according to the corresponding and requisite number fof seconds, minutes, or years, it follows that we do not see the star as it is, but as it was at the time when the ray of light was emitted. Thus we see the star in Centaur as it was three years ago, Vega as it was twelve years and one month ago, and so on to the star of the twelfth magnitude, which we look upon as it shone four thousand years ago. Hence follows the conclusion which has frequently been made by astronomers, and which in its result has become popular, viz., that a star of the 12th magnitude may have been extinguished, or set four thousand years ago, whilst we, nevertheless, continue to see its light shining. This conclusion, when applied to each of the former positions, gives the following results. We do not see the moon as it is, but as it was a second and a quarter before; i. e., the moon may already have been dispersed into atoms for more than a second, and we should still see it entire and perfect. We do not see the sun as it now is, but as it was eight minutes before; Jupiter as it was fifty-two minutes; Uranus as it was more than two hours before; the star in Centaur as it was three years ago; Vega as it was nine and a quarter years; and a star of the 12th magnitude as it was four thousand years ago. These propositions are well known, and have already been published in popular works upon astronomy. It is really marvellous that nobody has thought of reversing them, and of drawing the very remarkable and astonishing conclusions which pour upon us in a full stream from the converse; and it is our intention here to examine the converse and the inferences which may thence be drawn. The following is the relative view of the matter : as we have before remarked, we see the disc of the moon not in the form in which it now is, but as it was five quarters of a second before the time of observation. In exactly the same way an imaginary observer in the moon would not see the earth as it was at the moment of tt in ne startn h time, g backwardso observati on , b ut as i t was five quarters of a, second before. An obs erver f rom the sun sees the earth as it was eight minutes before. F rom U ranus the time between the reality and th e perception by the e) e being two hours and a half ap art ; if, for exampl e , th e summit of the Alps on a ce r t a i n morn i ng was illumined by the first ray of the sun at s i x o ' c l oc k , an observer in this planet, who was provided e ith er w i th the requisite power of vision, or a sufficiently good t e l escope, would see this indication of the rising of th e sun at h alf-past eight of our time. An observer in Cent aur can of course never see the northern hemisphere of th e eart h , b ecause this constella tion never rises abov e our h or i zon. But supposing it possible, and th a t an o b server were standing in this star with s uc h power f u l v i s i on as to be able to distinguish all pa r ti cu l ars upon our little earth shining, but feebly luminous i n i ts b orrowed light, he would see, in the year 1843, t h e public illuminations which, in the year 1840, mad e t h e c i t i es of our native country shine with the bright ness o f day during the darkness of night. An obser ver i n V ega would see what happened with us twelve y ears ago, and so on, until an inhabitant of a star of th e twe lf t h magnitude, if we imagine him with unlimited power of v i s i on contemplating the earth, sees it as it was four thousand years ago, when Memphis number o r a c eb h aoe rrf a l yroe miles fc scatt e redrre f s years,po omdn od u ui a nsb b g ,t o l ret u e o s s ek aoh was founded, an d t h e Patriarch Abraham wandered upon its surface. In th e i mmeasurably great number of fixed stars , h e c u u n l i dt v h e ba r et s e ft o h floating in tether at a di stance of between fifteen and twenty bil sees the past e p oc h s of our earth as if existing n ow , or s nn i s u e a imi o dY b s wg e r i v v i ce e ha u r need wait no longer time to see its condition at the re , quired moment.

BELLMULLET, JAN. 27.—The St. George, from Plymouth, drove on the beach in a gale on the 24th inst., and remains. CORK, JAN. 27.—The George, of Cork, dwy g 911 o wre, near Dalippere, in A gale lad ;light. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday an inquest was held at the Punch Bowl, Woodborough, before Mr. C. Swann, on the body of William Jalland, aged 24, of that place, joiner. John Burton, framework-knitter, said the deceased was his son-in-law. On Friday afternoon he came to witness's house with some hose; he had a gun with him; he often had a gun, and witness used to complain, but he took no notice. In about half an hour after he had gone away witness heard the report of a gun, and in about two minutes a neighbour (Mr. Taylor) called to him, and said, "Jalland has shot himself." Witness immediately went out, and saw Wm Smith (another son-in-law) running towards deceased, about forty or fifty yards from his house. He perceived the deceased lying upon the road, rolling about as if in great pain; a gun was lying near him; he was bleeding from his left side, and he said, " The whole charge of shot is in me." While being carried to witness's house blood ran down his trousers. Mr. Osborne, of Epperstone, surgeon, was sent for, but Jalland died at About, seven o'clock in the evening. He told witness that he had shot himself. William Taylor, of Woodborough, farmer, siaid on Friday afternoon about 'half- past four o'clock, while in his house, he beard the deceased calling, and he went to the door, when he heard him cry i ng out that he was shot; he was then running up the road towards his father's house. Witness went to Burton, and told him that Jalland said he had shot himstlf, and then went back and saw him with the gun in his left hand; he suddenly fell on his face, and lay till his father and sons went to him; he thought he had run about 150 yards from the spot where he was shot to where he fell—William Smith corroborated the above evi dence. Upon hearing that Jalland was shot, he had run to the road, and seeing deceased lying on the ground, had gone to him, and said, " Whatever have you been doing?" and be replied, "I'm shot! I'm shot, lad; I shall be dead in a few minutes." He saw a smoke coming out of deceased's clothes, and asked him whence it came? but he made no answer. He turned his coat aside, and said, "Bill, you are in flames ;" and he said, "Am I? put it out." He turned his trousers' waistband aside, and saw his shirt was bloody. A gun, which appeared to have been recently discharged, was lying near him.—John Henry Osborne, of Epperstone, surgeon, said, about five o'clock on Friday afternooon, he saw the deceased at Burton's house; he found a considerable hemorrhage oozing from a wound in his left side; it had the appearance of a gun-shot wound, and was five or six inches deep; the shot had entered in a lump, and then spread into his body; he could distinctly feel the shot and wadding in different parts of the abdomen ; they had penetrated as far as the -right side. Deceased told him, that in getting over a hedge, coming towards home, he had the muzzle of the gun in his left hand, and was dragging it after him, it being on full cock at the time, when a twig caught the trigger, and caused the gun to be discharged into his side.—Verdict accordingly.— Notts Journal. A VETERAN MARINER.—On Monday, the 25th inst., the mortal remains of Captain Levi Preston, aged 96, were interred in the churchyard of Grantham, in which town he had resided during the last forty years, being the oldest inhabitant of that place. He was born at Whitby, in York ) shire, and in early life had the reputation of a skilful, enter - prising, and intrepid sailor. When commanding an armed transport, the Admiral Barrington, in 1782, she was the first ship that arrived to the relief of the starving garrison of Gib ' raltar at that memorable siege. On several subsequent oc• casions he performed essential service by conveying secret dispatches in cases where nauticall skill, promptitude, and confidence were essential to succes , , receiving high rewards and public thanks from the authorities. He finished his career as a master mariner by making an unprecedented" , voyage from the Downs to St. Petersburgh and back to Southampton in 1793, when his ship, the Acorn, was taken into the transport service, and he retired to enjoy the just reward of his persevering exertions. ACCIDENT AT SEA.—We.have the painful duty to record a most melancholy catastrophe, which occurred on board the new ship L a d y V a li ant (of London), ' on the 28th of November last, whilst taking her departure from the Land's-end of England for the Mauritius, as advised by Cap tain Hay, of the said ship, to Messrs. Bb th and Green (of London), the owners, per their ship John Hallett, just ar• rived in the West India Docks :—" On the 28th of November the Lizard bearing N.E., about 40 miles distant, at 6h. 15m. A.M., while in the act of setting a foretopmast studding-sail, the chief mate got entangled with the sail, and was taken overboard. The people called me immediately, and I put the helm down, and brought everything aback, lowered the • boat and five men in her, hut, after pulling about for two hours, they came back without seeing anything of him." Mr. Richard Isemonger, jun., of Littlehampton, Sussex, was the chief officer above alluded to. He was universally respected, an excellent navigator, assistant-astronor ner , &s ' . of her Majesty' s l a t e A ntarct i c expedition, on board the Pagoda. QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY. There was yesterday issued, by order of the House of Commons, an account of all moneys recieved and disbursed by the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty during the year ending 31st of December, 1845. It appears that the receipts in that year amounted to 210,385/. 13s 5d., and the disbursements to 204,912/. 2s. 6d. Of the latter, the following are several of the chief items:— Loans on mortgage, to build, &c , glebe houses, 58,9471.; cost of stock purchased for general 'purposes, 49,132/. ; to the clergy, being interest and dividend of money and stock ap propriated to their livings, 53,0131. ; erection of residence houses out of appropriated money, 15,243/., &c. The total amount of first fruits and tenths received in the year was 13,758/. 135., and there was a sum of 41/. in arrear of first fruits due, and of yearly tenths, 82/. The number of prefer-. ments charged with tenths was 4,946; the s numter of prefer ments received from, 4,915; and the number of preferments in arrear, 31. The report is dated from the Bounty-office, the 30th of November, 1846. LATEST VERSION OF ALI BABA. —On Monday the following audacious attempt was made at a small este miner, near the Boulevard :—ln the course of the day two men in blouses entered with an enormous case, on which was inscribedin large characters "Vin de Champagne," "Fragile." Having each taken a cup of coffee, they requested the mis tress of the house to permit them to leave their case, as they had a long way to go before they delivered it. She gave her consent, and they took their departure. Midnight came, but the men did not return. The commander of the patrol coming in to enforce the regulations for closing the house for the night, and being made acquainted with the history of the case, conceived suspicions that all was not right, and insisted upon having the case opened. The lid was taken off, and instead of being filled with bottles of champagne, a man armed with a poignard was brought forth. Finding resist ance or evasion hopeless, he at once confessed that in the middle of the night he was to come out and open the door to his comrades, and then rob the house of the 6,000 f. or 7,000 f. it was believed to contain. Reinforcements were sent for from the pest at the Chateau d'Eau, and measures were so well taken that four men were at last secured, three of them being wel'-known old convicts.— Paris paper. DISCOVERY 05' ANCIENT REMAINS AT BRANDON.-- On Tuesday last Mr. Baldwin, tenant to Mr. Bliss, began to level a hill in a field called the Third Close, adjoining the meadows belonging to the Chequers Inn, and within five minutes' walk of the church paths, and upon raising the earth about the depth of a spade, they discovered the bones of a human being. Since then, the work being continued, seve ral hundreds of skeletons have been found about a foot from the surface, and there is no doubt that, as the removal of the ground proceeds, many others will be b roug h t to light. To all appearance the bones are those of young men of athletic frames, and most probably, from the imperfect and shattered condition of some of the skull bones, the discovery of a mus ket ball, a piece of a helmet, and a spear, at one time belong ing to some gallant fellows who there fell, reaping the har vest of a dreadful glory. Around the hill where these remains were found, there is a moat or ditch, which it is sup posed formerly environed Brandon Castle, at which William the Conqueror held a council of war when he was baffled in gaining possession of the Isle of Rh', and hence was compelled with his troops, to retire to Ely .a second time. This was in the year 1,070. Some curious antiqua ries have alreadybcen attracted to the spot, and have struck upon the foundation of a wall, in the neighbourhood of which they make no doubt of hitting upon some rare relics. The bones were re-interred in pits dug for the purpose by order of Mr. Baldwin. A fork also has been found with tines about as long as a man's finger, but very short and thick. 1, e have little doubt that the spot where these remains of past times have been discovered was the scene of one of those conflicts that fed the earth with slain durin the contest of the Par liament and the Roundheads, or may be . Of an earlier fray.

DETENTION OF THE IRISH MAIL.--FUNERAL OB" STRUCTED BY THE DRIFT, &C.-- , One of the most exten sive obstructions of the public road by snow drift, that has happened for many years, occurred last week on the road from Ballantrae, by Glenap, to Stranraer. The whole of the road from Auchairne entry to the head of Glenap was rendered impassable,' the snow in many places being lodged from eight to ten feet deep. The Portpatrick mail, on Thursday, which should have reached Girvan at seven in the evening, did nob arrive till next day, and the Friday's mail the same. The mail going south was even longer detained, as in both eases the road had to be cut through. A hearse and funeral party were also blocked up by the snow*, not far from Auchencrosh. The party, finding further progress impossible. lefs the hearse in the snow till the roa should be cleared. The hearse, therefore, remain e blocked up in the sno w , f rom n i ne in - the morning of Thursday, till three in the afternoon of Friday. M'Call, our excellent road surveyor, on receiving notice of the obstruction, was promptly on the ground, and ses thirty men to work to clear the way, which was im passable for above three miles, and this they effected in the course of Friday. One of the drivers of the Iris h mail, when informed at the Cairn of the obstruction, vowed he would drive through the snow though it short thirty feet deep, an d va l orous l y p l unged on f or a S heri distance; but his career was speedily stopped by the horse running int o th e di tc h, as, i n t h e dr i ft an d white' ness all around, it was i m p oss ibl e to k eep t h e road, and both he and the horse were completely smothered aPt He with difficulty extricated himself, and, being fortu nately near Kilantringan-toll, managed to repair thither and obtain assistanc e i n extr i cat i ng the horse ; both horse and driver were obliged to stay at the toll-house all night. Next morning the mail from Girvan reache d the Auchairne end of the obstruction, and the bags were transferred from th e ! one g i g : to t h e other. Th e snow did not lie very deep on the moor, as there was 11° great fall; but the wind being high caused the snow the drift dangerou s ly, b o th on t h e pu bli c road an d f or tn e " outliers" that seek sheltered places. At Lord Ork ney's Lodge the sno w was at i ts greatest dept h, about ten feet.
