IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 5. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BRIGHT said he rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the House for one moment to the statements which were made on moving for this Com mittee by the Hon. Member for Warwickshire. It was stated that choice was made in serving these objections to persons whose votes were been known to be legal, and who resided at the greatest distance from the courts. The report of the Committee did not bear out this statement. There were 400 different definitions of copyhold tenants, 250 of leasehold, 50 of occupying, and 576 of free holders, making a total of 1,276 different definitions of these voters; and therefore, when such a state of:things existed, it was absolutely necessary to have great freedom allowed for the making of objections.—(Hear, hear.) He had the same objection, however, as the Hon. Gentle man—namely, to increase the number of voters, and although he did not approve of the whole of the Pleasure, he should be happy to aid the Honourable Gentleman or any one else in placing properly qualified persons upon the register. He considered that the Anti-Corn-law League had acted fairly and openly in Warwickshire. Mr. NEWDEGATE said the Committee appointed to consider the existing state of registration, in accord ance with whose recommendations this Bill had been framed, consisted of members of all s hades of political opinions. He contended that the charges were true, which he had on a former occasion brought against Mr. Wilson, the Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, with respect to his proceedings relating to the regis tration in Warwickshire, Staffordshire, and other coun ties, and quoted registration returns to show that the League had improperly interfered with the registration, In proof of this, he stated that fifty persons claimed to be registered in Barnsley for a few houses, called e‘ Bright's Buildings," the whole value of which was not more than 1,5901. Mr. V. SMITH should vote in favour of the Bill, but he considered that the Bill did not make sufficient pro• vision for preventing persons who had had their names properly placed on the register from being harassed by frivolous objections to their votes year after year. He trusted, therefore, that the Bill would be considered in Committee. After a few words from Mr. ADDERLEY in favour of the Bill, Mr. G. HEATHCOTE said he considered that parties sustaining objections, and persons objected to, who sustained their votes, should be entitled to costs for the trouble to which they were put. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER dwelt upon the fact that the Committee from whom the Bill emanated represented all shades of political opinion, and that they were unanimous in all their recommendations. Mr. GISBORNE thought that by one of the pro visions of the Bill there was a limitation of the franchise; in other points he thought the measure unobjectionable. The Bill was then read a second time. To be com mitted on Wedne.day next. HOSIERY MANUFACTURE BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill being read, Sir H. HALFORD presented a petition from his con • s tituency in favour of the Bi ll, and praying that it might be passed into law as soon as possible. Two other peti tions were presented in favour of the BilL Mr. GISBORNE presented a petition from Leicester against the Bill. Sir H. HALFORD felt bound to move the second reading of this Bill. In 1844 a Commission was ap pointed to inquire into the distress that prevailed, which produced a most able report, and from which he would beg to read to the House some extracts. (The Hon. Member read from this document s everal passages, which stated that there was a gralaal redaction in the wages of those employed in the hosiery trade, from 1814 down to the atne at which the inquiry was instituted, and that the general appearance of the frame-workers was extremely wretched, while demoralization kept pace with the misery of this class of the community. The report also stated that the increase in the demand for labour led to no increase in the wages, and that the parents were totally incapable of affording their children, not only education, but the actual means of existence. Such having been the result of this Com mission, he would ask the House whether they should refuse to redress these evils. He believed the provisions of this Bill would meet the circumstances of this case, but in order that it might be rendered as effective as possible, if the House would grant him the second rea,ling he would move that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. What was the case with re spect to the artisans of other countries? In Saxony, in 1843, the same trade, that of hosiery, was carried on, and it was three times as great as that of any other part of the world.—(The lion. Member here read the evidence of Mr. Widscombe in support of this assertion, in which it was stated that the condition of the people of Saxony engaged in the stocking trade was far superior to the people of this country.) He had received a letter from a gentleman opposed to the Bill, himself a frame-owner, conscientious of great evils in the 13 stem, who acknowledged that it was a scandal and shame that it should exist.—(The Hon. Member then read a number of extracts from the evidence before the House, contained in the blue book, that the frame work system was most pernicious.)—(Hear, hear.) The objects of the Bill were to do away with the siab-contrac • tors, to prevent any contract being made with any one who was not himself a manufacturer; also to do away with the frame rent. He was well aware how incompe tent he was to bring such a subject as the present under the consideration of that House, but be sincerely hoped the Hence would not refuse the inquiry he demanded, and that it would give a second reading to this Bill. Mr. WYNN ELLIS said that it was so seldom that he troubled the House with any observations that he hop d that it would listen to the few remarks he had to offer to their notice. The accounts given by the Honourable Baronet of the distress and misery which existed were by no means exaggerated, and in his opinion it arose from the want of knowledge on the part of those weavers, and their want of sufficient energy to try to avoid bringing up their children in the same misery as themselves. There had been a gradual, bil t certain diminution in the export trade for many years, and d urme that time the supply of labour greatly exceed-d the demand. The consequence was a fall in the value of that labour, and the present existing distress. The existence of this distress and the causes and con sequences of it had been amply set forth in the report of a Commission upon this subject, but no remedy had been applied. The Hon. Gentleman had, about two years ago, brought in a Bill upon this subject, but owing to the incorrect construction of the principal clause it became inoperative. That Bill in the first instance con• templa:ed the removal of what was called " middle men" and suckan Act would be most injurious. The evils arising from that system were much less than was really stated, and considerable good was effected by it. (The Hon. Member then proceeded to quote at some length the evi dence of Mr. Biggs, as given before the Commission.) This branch of trade furnished another instance of the evils of protection, for had the corn-laws not existed, they would not have found the d stitution that existed amongst this class of artizans. From the authorities on this question it appeared that in foreign countries there was a better state of things. Fur instance, in Saxony the stocking-workers were much better off than they were at present in England.—(Hear.) Ile felt convinced that great evil s wou ld resu l t f rom sending the Bill to a Committee up stairs. In the pre sent state of trade it would produce an ill-feel ing, which would be most pernicious, if it would not produce a stagnation of trade. Upon these grounds. therefore, he would vote against the Bill, but he also objected to it on principle, for he would like to know on what grounds the Hon. Gentleman desired to interfere with the frame rent. Mr. GISBORNE said this Bill was a corollary on the Factories Bill ; it was founded on the principle of a fair day's wages for a fair day's work. He would have been glad to see the First Lord of the Treasury in his seat, and the Home Secretary. They had entered into a course which they could not carry out. He believed that no exaggeration of the distresses of these manufac turers had been made, but he contended such measures as these would not remedy the evil. They alone in this country carried on a struggle which was no longer attempted in the United States or in France. In these repeated attempts to destroy the sel f reliance of the working-classes, though they had struggled m eifully, he saw much to apprehend. It was a dan gerous experiment that was being made in this inter ference with the working classes. The Honourable Baronet wanted to persuade the House that it was a most profitable thing to be a pos sessor of these frames ; but the fact was that the contrary was quite the case.—(Hear.) The whole principle that had been acted upon, was founded upon the assumption that the hosiers were the most destructive and worst class in the country. He had often told that class of persons that from this House they could not expect that redress which they required. He contended that those who supported the Factory Bill were bound to look to this matter. Mr. MILNER GIBSON suggested that the Bill should not be proceeded further with that day, as it would interfere with the other business of the House. After some conversation as to what day the debate should he resumed, to-morrow was fixed for that purpose. MEDICAL REGISTRATION AND MEDICAL e - Mr. WAKLLtoYf (lEL the second Bill postponementthis till Monday, and he would, after its second reading, propose that it should be re ferred to a Select be Committee, when any alterations that sad ht be required might introduced. After a few words from Sir GEORGE GREY and Mr. HUME, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that, before voting, re voting, as was proposed by the Hon. M em b er ' fur a Select Committee, it should be rememberedo for eitpr for at it Memb er e w o uld depend upon whether the Hon. mm Fi n sbury would take the chair and the Hon. for Montrose would attend.—(Laughter.) Mr. HUME said he would do his best in the matter. Mr. WAKLEY said he could not engage to attend at the Committee in question till the differences of the profession were settled, for he would hhavet f the sit there till one. day after the d a y of judgment; Com mittee 'were granted he woul d du what was in his power to carry out the Bill he had introduced. The second reading of the Bill was then postponed till Monday next. TENANTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD postponed the Tenants (Ireland) Bill till to-morrow (Thursday).

They could import guano and bone-dust from Berwick and Liverpool, for the purpose of enriching the land, if this line were opened. They could also import Indian corn for their own use, and thereby be able to export a larger quan tity of the grain raised in the district. For agricultural pur poses they could have oil-cake from Berwick and other places, which might be brought to the various districts by the proposed railway. Lime was exceedingly expensive (not less than 18s. per ton in the centre of the county); but by the projected line it might be laid down in the districts, within six or seven miles of the line, at a moderate cost. The land would require about five tons per acre in every fourteen years, or six tons in every nineteen years. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Butt, and re examined by Mr. Paton, but nothing particular was elicited in addition. The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

BADCOCK V. TUE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case, Mr. H. Badeock, a man u f a ct ur ing chemist at Bow-common, near Limehouse, claimed compensation from the Blackwall Company for his premises, which they required in the extension of the line of railway. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Lush were for the claimant, and Mr. Bovill and Mr. Phippson f or th e compan y. The case occupied the whole day. It appeared that the claimant had asked 450/. and had been offered 1141. by the company, exclusive of the fixtures and other matters, which were to be taken at a valuation. The evidence went to show that in 1843 Badcock was dis charged as an insolvent debtor; in 1844 h e o bt a i ne d a 21 years' lease of the prem ises now in his occupation, and that he had since carried on the business. Several wit nesses were called with the view of showing the value. It n as stated that since the passing of th e N ew B u ildi ng Act it was difficult to obtain premise s t o carr y on cer t a i n occupations, including the business in which the claimant was engaged. Mr. BovILL addressed the jury for the company, but called no witnesses. Ho contended that the offer of the company, which was exclusive of fixtures, was a very liberal compensation to the claimant. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up the evidence, and the jury assessed the compensation at 4001. •- A MODERN HENRY the EIGHTH. BRESLAU, APRIL 22.—The Prince Archbishop of Breslau has launched the thunders of the church against one of the German princes. He has excommunicated the Prince of Hatzfeld de Trachambourg and de Jasch kowitz, member of the order of nobles in the General Diet of Prussia, at present assembled in Berlin, and ene of the richest and most influential princes in Prussia. The following are the circumstances which have led to an act of rigour on the part of the church so uncom mon in the present century: — About five years ago Prince Germain de Hatzfeld, who is a Roman Catholic, fell in love with the Duchess de Reichembach, a married lady, and a Protestant. For some reason, of which we do not know the particulars, the Duchess de Reichembach got herself divorced. Soon afterwards, in virtue of a royal decree, abridging the delay which, according to our laws, must take place be tween the divorce and the re-marriage of any of the divorced parties, the Prince of Hatzfeld got the Lutheran pastor of Breslau to give him the marriage blessing. Thereafter the Prince of Hatzfeld was anxious to have his marriage made valid according to the rites of the Catholic Church, and for that purpose he applied to several ecclesiastics to perform the marriage ceremony, but they all refused, on the ground that they were for bidden to do so by the decisions of the Council of Trent, and more especially by a brief addressed, in 1843, by the late Pore Gregory XVI. to the bishops of Bavaria, and in which the Sovereign Pontiff designates a marriage between a Catholic and a divorced Protestant as con nubium adulterinum. The Prince of Hatzfeld did not lose his courage. He went to Rome, threw himself at the Pope's feet, and supplicated his Holiness to confirm his marriage with the Duchess de Reichembach. Gre gory XVI. was moved; and after having received from the Prince of Hatzfeld a solemn promise that he would support the interests of the Catholic Church, his Holi ness validated the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Hatzfeld, and gave orders to the Prince-Archhishop of Breslau to give them the nuptial benediction, accord ing to the rites of the Catholic Church, which was ac cordingly done. For some time the Prince of Hatzfeld kept his word to the Pope. He placed himself at the head of the Catholic aristocracy of the province, and he constituted himself the protector of the clergy, who, in consequence of his intercession, obtained in a short time great privileges and considerable immunities. In consequence of this zeal, Pope Gregory XVI. conferred upon the Prince of Hatzfeld numerous decorations and other marks of distinction. After two years of marriage, the love of the Prince of Hatzfeld for his wife began gradually to cool, and this coolness increased to such a degree that at last he drove her out of his house, and obtained a divorce. At the same time he formed an in timate connexion with another Protestant lady, Madame de Bach, who had also the mishap to be divorced, and on the 6th of the present month of April he married her publicly in the Lutheran Cathedral of Breslau. On the following day the Prince Archbishop of Breslau pronounced a sentence of the greater excommunication against the Prince of Hatzfeld, in which, after reciting the above facts, he says—" Considering that his Serene Highness the Prince Germain of Hatzfeld de Trachem bourg and de Jaichkowitz has rendered himself guilty of polygamy, since, during the life of his wife, he has married another woman • that such an act should be punished the more severe ly from its being committed by a person so highly placed as the said Prince of Hatzfeld by birth, rank, and fortune, and whose example must necessarily have a great effect upon the people; that the Prince of Hatzfeld has shown a supreme degree of in gratitude to the late Pope Gregory XVI., who loaded him with favours and honours; that the Prince of Hatz feld, who was at the head of the Catholics of Silesia, has by his conduct covered his co-religionists with shame; that it is notorious that he has stated everywhere that he had no uneasiness about what he had done, and that by means of money he would obtain from the clergy the validation of his second marriage as he had the first; that it is necessary to prove to the public in a striking manner that it is an erroneous impression which is current in our country, that the clergy are always indulgent to the powerful of the earth:—We, Melchoir, by the grace of God, &c., Prince Archbishop of Breslau, in virtue of our archiepiscopal functions, and in conformity with the holy canons, but to our regret and with a profound grief, excommunicate the said Most Serene Prince Germain of Hatzfeld, as a public and obsti• nate contemner and transgressor of the laws and doctrines of the church; and we strike him with the anathema of the church, and with all the legal consequences of that measure, and that in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." The Breslau papers state that the Prince of Hatzfeld, on learn ing that sentence of excommunication had been pro nounced against him, intimated his intention of joining the Lutheran Church, but that by the advice of his friends he abstained from doing so, because the consequence would be that he would lose two of his richest and most valuable lordships. The Prince of Hatzfeld above spoken of is brother of the Prince of Hatzteld Schoenberg, whose liaison with the Countess of Meyendorff gave rise to a celebrated trial at Cologne in December last. POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH CHINA. (From the China Mail.) The ignorance and inattention of the good folks at home regarding the postal arrangements with China, is a never-failing source of annoyance to residents here. We have repeatedly essayed our possible to enlighten the select portion of the British public who enjoy the oppor tunity of perusing the China Mail, but hitherto, we regret to find, to very little purposa, if the annoyingly amusing instances which have just come to our knowledge afford a fair criterion. We select two of them : _ _ A friend in London, wishing to give the latest infor mation on private affairs, frets and bustles to have a letter on the 4th of the month, because, some ten years ago, in the infancy of steam communication with the east, he had learnt that a mail was made up via Mar seilles on that day, Ana - being evidently a disciple of the Finality School, had no fan in subsequent improve ment; and so this effusion becomes a dead letter, and is mercilessly entombed in a pigeon hole of the London Post office for three weeks. Another intelligent correspondent living within a stone's throw of the Edinburgh Post-office, to make sure work, writes a letter on the 18th, in ample time for the Southampton dispatches, but having by over '-st r udy -or Directories and Almanacs, acquired some confused notions about the greater expedition used with Marseilles letters, marks his via that route, and posts it on the 21st, but neglects to pay the postage, no doubt because he had discovered that such a preli minary step was not necessary in the case of letters sent by the English packets. The consequence was that his letter was detained in London a month, less a couple of days, when, after all, it was sent via Southampton, the only route for unpaid letters. The accident which befel the Ripon steamer deprived us of the October mail in due course, and so this letter, written on the 18th Sep tember, and inclosing a bill of lading, which ought to have been here in the middle of November, did not ar rive till the end of January, a few days after the vessel containing the goods. Such are the consequences of neglecting a five minutes' study of a very simple ar rangement. The mails for India of the 4th and 7th of the month are, however, the most fruitful source of the blunders we Celestial sojourners have to complain of ; and, strange to say, they are encouraged by the Post-office itself, which from time to time issues notices that " Mails for China, India, &c., are to be made up is London on the 4th and 7th," while, according to its own regulations, all letters for China direct are dispatched only on the 20th and 24th. None are more readily caught in this trap thTtn news-agents, and nothing is more common than to see bundles of papers ad , d , ressed and paid for " via Marseilles a nd Bomba y 1 We, therefore, with the most profound respect, beg to assure the ingenuous, but, we are compelled to add, remarkably stupid home public, that letters for China direct never visit India at all, unless addressed to the care of some one there, in which case the chances are they are never more heard of, except as lumber to the Bombay or Calcutta Post-office. The mails of the 4th and 7th, therefore, carry letters for India, and not for China ; those of the 20th and 24th bring letters for both India and China. But as our readers at home are proof against all that has appeared in our journal upon the subject, we have printed the following notice at the head of a ream of letter paper, in order that at least our own correspon dents may not plead ignorance:— " There is only one mail for China made up in Lon don, via Southampton on the 20th, and via Marseilles on the 24th of each month. It is not necessary to pre-pay letters sent by to former route; by the latter pre-payment is imperative, otherwise letters though marked via Marseilles by the sender will be detained in London for the next Southampton dispatch. The mails of the 4th and 7th are for INDIA and not for CHINA, though the contrary is erroneously stated in the Notices issued by the London Post-office. Postages via Southampton charged by the I ounce, vie& Mar seilles by the ounce. All letters by either route should be invariably written on good, and never on spongy paper." Adopting the admirable system of Mrs. Trimmer, Mrs. Barbauld, and others who have devoted them selves to teaching the . young idea, we here begin with general principles easily understood ; and when our tyros have learned their first lessons, we shall pro ceed gradually t o un f o ld to t h em t h e mysteries of Marseilles letters bearing double rates, the one English the other French, the former advancing by half ounces the latter by quarters. And our crowning lecture will be an eulogium on the noble generosity of our own country contrasted with the nip-cheese mean ness of our Gallic neighbours, who double their charge on letters when they come up to the specified weight, while we only do so when it is exceeded. But these abstruser disquisitions are kept in reserve, to instigate our neophytes in postal science to a diligent study of the present rudimental Grades. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The concluding spxi n g meeting was held yesterday afternoon, at the rooms in Regent-street, when the chair was taken by R. G ovan, Esq. The prizes awarded were, silver Banksian medals to Messrs. Weeks and Wickham for specimen plants, and certificates of merit to Mr. Ayre for strawberries, and Mr. Donald for two plants. From Sir T. Dyke Acland was a dish of new pota toes, grown without heat, and which did not appear to be affected with the prevalent disease. From Mr. Cuthill was a drain tile, made entirely of novel materials, being mad? of compressed peat moss, a substance considered to be particu larly eligible where clay or other material was with difficulty to be obtained. The extract from the Meteorological Register kept at the gardens since the last meeting, en the 20th April, gave, barometer, highest, 22d April, 30.064 inch il 7lowest, April 29, 29.528 inch ; thermom eter, highest, Apr 25, .62 deg. F.—lowest, April 26, 20 deg. F. ; and quantity of rain, 0.40 inch. A line of sailing packets between Antwerp and the ports of Galatz and Odessa is about to be established, in execution of a treaty passed on the sth ult. between the Bel gian Minister of Foreign Affairs and M. Frederic Harkort. The engagement is made from the present year up to 1851 in. clu4iTely.—Galignanit IRELAND. SPREAD OF FEVER. DUBLIN, MAY 3.—The accounts, particularly from the western and southern counties, exhibit an alarming increase of pestilence in several districts ; but it is worthy of remark, that in all cases where efficient sanatory arrangements are adopted, a decided decrease in the virulence of the malady has been the consequence. In some parts of the northern province too, for instance. in Enniskillen, Lurgan, and Belfast, fever is making fearful ravages. In the last-named town, on Saturday, a public meeting was held, to make arrangements for providing additional hospital accommidation, and to raise a general subscription. Subjoined are some of the accounts received this day : " &lc°, MAY I.—Typhus fever still continues to rage with unabated fury. ;iligo is a plague spot; the whole town is now in the state the poor-house was in formerly. Fever is in every street, and fever of the worst kind. If the Almighty God do not mitigate this dreadful dis temper, we have, particularly now as the warm weather approaches, a horrible prospect before us. COUNTY OF GALWAT.—BALLINASLOE, MAY I.—We regret that fever rages in the workhouse of this town to a very violent degree. On Thursday the schoolmas ter fell a victim to this virulent disease. EYRECOURT, APRIL 30.—Fever is spreading furiously in this town and neighbourhood ; cases of dysentery are also not uncommon. A great many persons con tinue to emigrate to the United States of Ameri3a. Our relief committee is contributing greatly to dimin ish the dreadfulness of famine. Meal and soup are distributed every day to the famishing applicants for out-door-relief. KING'S COUNTY.—BANAGHER, APRIL 30. This neighbourhood is truly in a most melancholy condition. The poor famine-worn inhabitants are falling fast from fever and dysentery. Tho clergymen are absolutely exhausted, between attending relief committees and the death-beds of the afflicted. COUNTY OF KERRY.—TRALEE, MAY I.—The num ber of paupers in the workhouse is 1 064. The deaths during the past week amounted to 26 ; and the dis charges to 29. Four weeks ago the commissioners ordered that there should be no more admissions until the paupers in the house were reduced to 1,000 in number. The inmates were then 1,350. The deaths since then amounted to 139, and the discharges to 149, reducing the number in excess to 64. The Fever Hospital gates have been closed against the reception of any more pa tients for want of room. AWFUL CONSEQUENCES OF IMPERFECT SEPULTURE. DOGS.—In the neighbourhood of CastleiMand and Ballylongfod, from the imperfect covering thrown on the dead victims of famine, troops of dogs prey from day to day on the bodies. This is not all : violent mad ness is the result, which has already led these rabid ani mals not only to attack one another, but the cattle in the fields. The authorities and the gentlemen of the county should at once look to them. MILLTOWN, APRIL 30.—Fever is on the increase in this much-neglected and miserable place. There are at least thirty cases at present, and it is to be feared that the disease will not be confined to this number, owing to the want of some sort of hospital to send those poor wretched creatures to. The several labourers employed on the public works in this locality rushed into the town yesterday, and were disposed to act with great violence. Even some of them had the audacity to lay hands on the parish priest, and used threatening language.— Tralee Chronicle. TUE PUBLIC WORRS.—The Sligo Chronicle says: — "We have just ascertained that an order has come down to continue the able bodied labourers upon the public works." EMIGRATION—SLIGO, MAY I.—From the sth of Jan. to the present date, 3,239 persons left this port direct for America. Of this number 176 went in the Carrick s, which was chartered by Lord Palmerston. CLONMEL, MAY I.—ATTACK BY A LARGE ARMED MOB, AND ROBBERY OF FLOUR.—OR yesterday a most daring attack was made on a boat laden with flour, on her way from this town to Waterford. She started at eleven o clock, accompanied by the usual military escort, but was delayed on her passage at Two-mile-Bridge, where a delay occurred in consequence of the boat hav ing grounded; however, after some time she was got off. She had on board one hundred and fifty sacks of flour, seventy sacks of which were the property of Messrs. Thomas Hughes and Son, and the re- mainder the property of — Messrs. Thomas and James Hughes. When the boat reached Poulakerry, the military escort returned to town, and she proceeded on her way without an escort, there being, we should imagine, some misunderstanding, as the Carrick escort usually met the boats at this point. When the boat arrived at or near Ballydine, a large mob of persons had assembled on the banks of the river, about one hundred in number, several of whom were armed with guns and blunderbusses. The boat was ordered to stop by one man, who had his gun presented, several of the party also presenting at the same time. The persons managing the boat being placed in terror of their lives through the threats of the attacking party, brought the boat to the bank, when the mob compelled the boatmen to go into the cabin, and commenced the plunder. They had a " yawl" in their possession at this time, which was also laden with flour, and they took from the two boats no less than 50 sacks of flour, saying at the same time, "The devil's cure to those who would eat yellow meal when they could get good flour." Ono of the women in the mob had her apron full of fire-arms, which she laid on a fence for the purpose of terrifying the boatmen. On this morning 26 additional constables arrived here from the depot, Phoenix Park, under the command of Adjutant Manby, for the purpose of strengthening the several sta tions in this district.—Tipperary Constitution. THE CROPS—TILLAGE OF THE LAND. SLIGO, MAY I.—The crops are looking exceedingly well, and, up to this, the prospect of a good harvest is most cheerful. It is true that a large portion of the ground remains untilled.—Sligo Champion. TRALEE, MAY I.—Our reports of the early crop are favourable. A gentleman in the vicinity of 'l'ralee, who sowed rye last August in potato land, immediately after digging the early crop, informs us that it has come in for spring feeding on the Ist of April, in ear, and the ground is vacant again for another crop. Mach injury has been effected by the storm of Tuesday. In many places, the early potatoes, which were exhibiting every promise of health and abundance, have been nipped and checked.— Tralee Chronicle. MURDER.—On Thursday last, the body of an unknown man, aged about forty, was found buried in the cailows of Clonkeen, in the parish of Killian, near Kentstown. From the deposition of the medical gentleman who examined the body, it is probable that he had been strangled ; and, from the state of the body, it could not have been interred more than four or five days. No money was found on his person. An inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate stranger, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against some person or per sons unknown.—Ballinasloe Star. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the association was held this day, Mr. E. W. O'Mahony (barrister) in the chair. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL wished, before the business of the day commenced, to express in a few but sincere words the deep regret which he as an Irishman felt, and he was quite sure the Association participated in the feeling, at the announcement of the illness—he feared he should say the fatal illness—ol their Lord-Lieutenant. It was true they had nothing to thank the Government for—it was very true they had much to blame them for ; but it was his (Mr. O'Connell's) sincere conviction that Earl Bessborough was in no way blameable for the short-comings of the Government ; and he felt satisfied that if his dispositions and his representations had had their due weight with the English Cabinet, Ireland would at that moment be in a condition far different from her present miserable situation. [During the ad dress of the Honourable Gentleman Captain Clarke of the Victor, the ship which brought the cargo of provi sions from the citiaens of New York, for the relief of the distressed people of this country, entered the meet ing, and on being introduced was warmly received.] Mr. O'Connell congratulated the Association on the ap pearance of an American citizen in Conciliation Hall, and then gave notice that a special meeting of the Asso ciation and of repealers generally be held on Thursday, for the purpose of expressing their unbounded and over flowing gratitude to America for the assistance afforded by her to the starving people of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Captain CLARKE expressed his acknowledgments for the kind reception he had experienced, and observed that his sympathy was, and ever had been, with old Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. J. KELLY, solicitor (the gentleman who has exhibited to public view the landlordism of Mayo), ex pressed his regret he was not able to fulfil his promise of bringing under the consideration of the association and of the world the conduct of certain landlords in Mayo. The reason of his not being able to do s e o d w o a r s that a criminal information had that day been a m t moved suitf against him in the Court of Queen's Bench, The ground of the proceeding of Mr. Gilden, clerk of the peace for 'vas t scoundrel ;" but he Mr. Gilden with being cationcor,utpop thate e h o e u nhtayd charged by the Mayo land believed it was a proseceg( disclosures he had made with lords, in return for t ready to answer to the prosecu regard to their enormithiteisontowWaasrdsthathteihretewnaasntry.

After some further business had been disposed of, Mr. John O'Connell proceeded to address the meeting, and on concluding announced the rent for the week to be 271. 17s. The meeting then adjourned. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.---011 Tuesday morning, a little before ten o'clock, an engine stalk, which has lately been erected by John Wilson, Esq., near the School-yard P i ts' Bo'ness, fell with a tremendous c ras h, i n t h e d i rection of the School-brae ; destroying one house of four storeys in h e ight, and another of one storey. The inhabitants of the buildings were buried in the ruins ; from which one female w as taken out dead, and several others severely injured, but who are since progressing favourably. It is remarkable that more lives were not lost, as the road over which the stalk fell is the one leading to the parish school, and the accident happened at the very hoar of the assembling of the school. Edinburgh Post. ROYIL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN-LANE. — The influx of applicants to this charity, during the past few days, has so greatly increased, that it has been found utterly impossible to attend to all applicants. At a meeting of the board held last eveni ng , t h e R ev.

GROUP V. The Committee met this morning, at twelve; Lord Harry Vane in the Chair. WINDSOR., The Committee were occupied moat of the day with evidence against the Bill, as to the injury which would be done to Eton by the railway passing through the grounds of the college, and to the town and precincts of Windsor. The Earl of Lincoln and others were examined. The Committee adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP VI. The Committee met at the usual hour; Mr. Deedes in the chair. gAZXSBITRY AND YEOVIL, AND EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER. In consequence of an application made to the Committee, it was arranged that several witnesses should be heard from Sidmouth and Bridport, and with respect to the proposed Blandford and Bruton Railway, in order to afford an oppor tunity for Mr. Locke and Mr. Cockburn to attend in other Committees, where their presence was required. Captain Parrett, naval officer, from Poole, was then called, and gave evidence of the facilities and importance of the harbour of Poole, and its superiority as a harbour over the port of Weymouth. Other evidence of a general nature was adduced, and the Committee adjourned till twelve to-morrow, at which hour it is proposed to proceed with the eross-examination of Mr. Locke. GROUP XIII. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Committee intimated that there would be no neces sity for his addressing any remarks upon that portion of the line between Thetford and Diss, as it was the opinion of the Committee that no case had been made out to justify the construction of that line. The Learned Counsel then proceeded with his address, at the conclusion of which the room was ordered to be cleared. The CILAIRMAN, upon our re-admission, stated that the Committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds Railway (No .1, Extension to Yar mouth) was not proved. The Committee then adjourned till Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock, in order to receive the report of the Admi ralty and the Railway Commissioners. GROUP XVIII. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The evidence taken was chiefly as to the way in which the proposed line would affect the town of Cheltenham in a sanatory way, as well as to the convenience of the station. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP XX. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION (WAR.V.TICH. AND STRATFORD BRANCH). (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Brunel proved that the line was an easy one in an engineering point of view. He estimated the cost at 200,0001. The landholders' opposition was adjourned till Friday. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP XXI. EIRMINGH.AM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY (No. I.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Committee postponed their decision till they had re ceived the report of the Railway Commissioners. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTOBT, AND STOUR VALLEY (NO. II.) BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY (STOURBRIDGE AND WEST BROMWICH BRANCHES). OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVE7ii-. HAMPTON (No. XI.) In these cases the Committee decided that the preambles had not been proved. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP XXII. GLOUCESTER AND HEREFORD RAILWAY AND CANAL PURCHASE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Messrs. Davis and Brown gave general evidence in favour of the line, and Messrs. Biddulph and Price as to the accom modation which the line would confer on the district for the carrying of goods, minerals, and passengers. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. GROUP XXIII. The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. Mac. kinnon in the chair. SWANSEA VALLEY. Mr. JAMES proceeded to call evidence against the promoters of the Bill. Mr. lieighton, formerly traffic manager of the Taff Vale line, and manager of collieries in the north of England, gave evidence of the inconvenience of the broad gauge, upon which it was proposed to construct the Swansea Valley in connexion with the South Wales. It would fail to connect the port of Swansea and the district with the Birmingham line and the north of England, and it did not offer the same convenience for shipping coals as the narrow gauge. Other witnesses were called for the opponents. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP XXV. The Committee on this group met this morning at twelve o'clock in Room 14; Sir Charles Lemon in the chair, MAN CHESTER AND LINCOLN UNION DW4I.ekTIO'32". The consideration of this line was postponed, in the hope that some arrangement would be come to between the parties. MANCHESTER, BUXTON, IVIATI.OOX, and MIDLANDS JUNCTION (DEVIATIONS, AMENDMENT, &C.) Some time was occupied in considering the objection as to whether the inhabitants of Bakewell had any locus standi in opposition to this line; but it was eventually decided that they should be heard. Mr. Thurgooland, a lessee of tolls, and Mr. Wildgoose, a traffic-taker, were then examined, and deposed to the great traffic which might be expected along the line, and to the great accommodation it would give to the district. Mr. Paxton, one of the directors of the company, was next examined to show the advantages of the deviation. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to morrow. GROUP XXVII. The Committee sat to-day at twelve o'clock, in Room 32; Mr. Cardwell in the chair. THE GREAT NORTHERN (EXTENSION, TO LYNN). The c;ommittee were occupied all day in hearing evidence in favour of this line.—Adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP XXVIII. LONDON AND YORK AND EASTERN COUNTIES (SPALDING TO NEWARK). The Committee met to-day at half-past two o'clock to give their decision upon the several branches promoted by the London and York and Eastern Counties Companies in the district between Spalding and Newark, but in conse quence of not having received the report of the Railway Commissioners, which is in the hands of the printer, Mr. T. D. ACLAND, the chairman, stated that they must adjourn till half-past three on Friday next. GROUP XXXI. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning; Mr. Shaw in the chair. MANCHESTER, COLNSHIRE JUNCTION (BARNSLEY HIGANCII). The whole of the day was occupied with general evidence in favour of the line. The Committee adjourned at the usual hour. GROUP XXXIII. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; the Hon. E. Yorke in the chair. LE22DS, DEWSBURY, AND MANCHESTER (EXTENSION TO WARETIELD, &c.) On the assembling of the Committee this case was pro ceeded with. Mr. Benjamin Gott, of Leeds, was examined at some length as to the advantages the scheme would confer in con necting the important towns of Leeds, Wakefield, and Dews bury, and also to its superiority over the rival schemes. This closed the case of the promoters. The opposition of the landowners and other proprietors were then proceeded with. Mr. J. M. Gaskell, M.P., deposed as to the damage which the line would inflict on the residence and ornamental grounds of his uncle, near to Wakefield. Dr. Wright was examined as to the damage the line would do to the property of West Parade, Wakefield. He represented it to be very considerable, and the proposition had given great dissatisfaction. Mr. Walker, agent of the Wakefield cattle-market, stated that the scheme would do great injury to, and interfere ma terially with, the business transacted there. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. GROUP XXXIX. The Conarnitfse to whom this group was referred met this morning at the usual hour, in Room 12; Lord Wellesley in the chair. HARTLEPOOL AND STOCIETON JUNCTION. - Mr. Jackson's cross-examination was then resumed by Mr. Gray. He was also cross-examined by Sir Walter Riddell, on behalf of the Duke of Cleveland's trustees; and was after wards re-examined by Mr. Rowe. Mr. James Gascoyne Lynn, civil engineer, was then exa mined by Mr. Row—He deposed to the practicability of the construction of the line, and to there being no engineer ing difficulty of any magnitude. Mr. Gregory, civil engineer, corroborated the evidence of the la.t witness as to the practicability of the line in an engi neering point of view. Mr. Johnson, merchant in Hartlepool, was then examined as to the traffic, when the case for the promoters closed. The case of the opposition will be gone into to-morrow. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP XLI. —:- The Committee on this— group met at the usual hour, in Room 13 ; Lord Seymour in the chair. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. (BRANCH FROM NAVAN TO HELLS). The Committee intimated this morning that, with respect to this line, it would be expedient to adjourn for a fortnight, till they received the finance report from the Railway Com missioners.

Lord Newry and the Marquis of Downshire were then examined, and the room was cleared. On our re-admision, The Committee announced that they would not consent to the Bill unless a clause was inserted to carry out a direct GROUP XLII. WATERFORD, WEXFORD, AND WICK LOW (ENNISCORTHY BRANCH). _ __ • This Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock; Mr. Tollemache in the chair. At the opening of the proceedings an objection was taken on the reception of the evidence of a meeting of the share holders, where a small minority had determined to oppose proceeding with the Bill. The room was cleared for some time, but at length it was decided that counsel should be heard on the merits of the case, and Mr. Sergeant Wrangham spoke in their behalf. Mr. AUSTIN replied at considerable length on the side of the promoters, contending that the Committee had virtually come to a decision already. After hearing Mr. Austin's reply, the Committee stated that, as they had not received the report of the Railway Com missioners, they were not in a condition to proceed, and they accordingly adjourned. GROUP XLVIII. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) GENERAL TERMINUS AND GLASGOW HARBOUR BRANCHES. Mr. DUNCAN opened the merits of this Bill, which he stated to be for three short branches; one to connect the joint line with the General Terminus, and with the Polloc and Govan Railway; one to form a junction with the Barr head and Neilston Direct, so as to take the goods to the Goods Depot, or to the Greenock Railway; and one to con-. nect the General Terminus with the Caledonian Railway, and, by means of the first, with the joint line. The branches were unopposed, except by the Ayr Company, and he denied that they had a locus stand/. Counsel were heard for the Ayr Company. The Committee, a ft er the room had been cleared, declared that the Ayr C ompany had no locus stancli against the preamble. Mr. Robson, the engineer, said the length of the three branches was one mile ancl_ a half, and the cost would be 43,600/. They viser . t . to effeU objects of great public import. ance, and had to contend with no engineering difficulties. The CHAIRMAN declared the preamble proved. The clauses were then read and agreed to. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, NILMARNOCN, AND AYR BRANCHES (No. IV.) The Committee proceeded to consider this Bill; the only part of it retained was for making another station in Tradeston, Glasgow. Mr. Jobustone, engineer of the Ayr Company, said the proposed station in Tradeston, Glasgow, was positively ne cessary, as the present station was quite inadequate for the traffic. The cost of the station would be 20,0001., including 114,000/. for land. The CIIAIR3IAII declared the preamble proved. The clauses were read and agreed to. CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTONSHIRE JUNCTION (DEVIATIONS BETWEEN DUNTOCHER LIME-WORHS AND BOWL- ING, &c.) Mr. MACNEIL opened the merits of this Bill. He stated the deviations were become necessary from the amendments granted by the Committee in the Garnkirk line. These were from Hamilton Hill to Dobbies Loan, passing under the canal southward; again, at the eastern terminus, passing eastward so as to join the Caledonian line ; third, on the property of Lady Blantyre, to diverge from her house and grounds, and to avoid a tunnel near Duntocher ; and fourth, at the western terminus near Helensburgh, to enable them to pass two mountain torrents more advantageously. Mr. Robson, the engineer, was examined, and proceeded to give the details of the proposed deviations. The cost of the Glasgow deviations would be 76,5081. They passed under the canal by a tunnel 500 yards long. The strata were favourable for constructing. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to morrow. GROUP XLIX. CALEDONIAN AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY AND GN,ZENOCIE AMALGATION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Hunter, a magistrate, of Greenock, gave evidence that the supply of coal at present was limited on account of the want of direct access with the Lanarkshire mineral fields, and that it was dear as compared with the price at Glasgow. He considered the united management and the continuous line would give them much' larger and cheaper supplies, and enable them to increase their exportation. At the present time the trucks had to be changed at Glasgow, and tran shipments made. The Lanarkshire coal, which at present cost 13s. 6d. at Greenock, would, he thought, by the amalga mated line, be sold for Bs. 6d. per ton. Mr. James Ferguson examined—Said he knew all the lines in connexion with Glasgow very well. He knew also the coals of the Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, and he gave the de cided preference to the latter over the former. At present many of the ships at Greenock were obliged to take out rubble and stones, on account of the difficulty of getting coals cheap enough. This would, in a greater measure, be obviated if the companies as proposed were united in management. Mr. Baird, a coal-merchant, of Greenock, gave evidence as to the increased advantages Greenock would receive from direct railway communication with the Monkland and Ha milton coal-fields. At present the supply of coal was limited, and came mainly by the river and canal from the Monkland coal-fields. Mr. Ker, the manager of the goods traffic on the Greenock line, deposed as to the present traffic, and the great benefits the amalgamation would confer. The company at present ran five goods' trains each way daily, taking on an average 32i tons each train. Their engines could take about three times as much if necessary. The benefits of the undi vided management would be to keep up a better staff and plant, and enable them to give better accommodation to the public. Hitherto the dividends had been but two per cent., but the Caledonian hid guaranteed four per cent., with sub 13:'quent advantages. Cross-examined—The Ayrshire Company did not carry minerals at present to Greenock, as they objected to the rate, which was 2s. a ton from Paisley to Greenock. Mr. Dixon, for the whole distance, was charged ls. 9%d. a - ton. This was because Mr. Dixon used his own trucks and servants, and the company had nothing to do but to find haulage for the traffic. Captain Huish, general manager of the London and North 'Western Line, said he had formerly been secretary of the Greenock Co npany for four years. It was impossible to work a short line so profitably as a long one. He knew a good deal of the benefit of amalgamations of this kind. One of the most remarkable was the Grand Junction with the North Union. Before the amalgamation the traffic between the two lines was very small and the rates high, but since the union the traffic had vastly increased, while the public were benefited by the reduction of prices. He considered that both the passenger an►d the goods traffic would receive great benefits by the amalgamation. Mr. Errington, civil engineer, was examined in support of the previous witnesses. He considered the shareholders would never get back their capital or interest on it without a union of this kind. At present the Caledonian had no port for their 160 miles of railway, while the Ayrshire Com pany had access to six or seven ports. He corroborated the evidence of the previous witnesses as to the cheaper working of the line under a joint management. He thought 7,000/. would be saved by the joint management. The witness was cross-examined at some length, with the object of showing that with the leases and amalgamations in progress by the Caledonian, the latter would have port ac commodation not only at Glasgow and Greenock, but through out Ayrshire. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. GROUP LI. CALEDONIAN AND BRANCHES. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Locke, C.E., examined by Mr. CocKnuaw—He had originally planned the Caledonian line. The witness pointed out its course to the Committee. It was always contem plated that Dumfries should form a feature in this system of railway communication, and he knew of no instance in the history of railways where one series of lines had so injured and encroached upon another as the Dumfries had upon the Caledonian. The Caledonian had been eventu ally laid out on the recommendation of the Railway Com missioners, and on the absence of any opposition immediate or contemplated; and, therefore, a considerable portion ' traversed a district, which could not, under any circum stances, pay a company. Such a district was that from Moffat to Carnwath. He considered that this country was overlaid with railways. By Mr. TOLLEMACHE—It did not follow that trade would be increased in the same proportion with railway com petition and accommodation. It was necessary that a limit should be placed, because a trade which might remunerate an expenditure of 16,0001. per mile, would never repay the ex penditure of a million per mile. The Birmingham and Derby was an instance of this, which, having vainly tried to exist, was at last obliged to incorporate itself with the Midland. By Mr. COCKEURN—If the North British scheme were sanctioned, they would have a double means of competition, by Berwick on the east coast, and again by Hawick to Edinburgh. If the Caledonian were to live at all, it must depend in a great measure upon its through traffic. By Captain PLUMRIDGE—He had in his scheme of 1839, never contemplated the branch from Springfield to Brompton. Lord Joim MANNERS—Did you ever propose this scheme until the Dumfries Company had first determined to supply it? Mr. Locke—That branch was never contemplated until this year. Sir THOMAS Pumurs—l hope that answer may not be considered conclusive as to your Lordship's question. Lord JOHN MANNERS—Oh, it satisfies me. By Mr. COCKBURN—It would be important, as a matter of protection oralmny h a o g u a l i d ns e t on t s h t e r i u r et cor he pe S tit r o a rs m , pt t o h n at br t an he chto Caledonian Company accom modate their southern traffic. Cross-examined by Sir TuomAs Pitimaps--The Caledo• nian, when before Parliament for their Act, calculated upon an estimated traffic which would yield the proprietors 8 per cent. That was before any of the north or west branches were thrown out. He did not know that in this estimate the traffic from Dumfries and Ayr was taken at something less than 1,0001. By Mr. TOLLEMACHE—So long as the 24 miles of differ ence between the Dumfries and Caledonian existed, it might be considered a sufficient protection to the latter company, but they could not say that that difference might not be lessened by the Dumfries Company in the next session of Parliament. By Mr. Burr—lf the lease of the Annan branch were granted to the Caledonian, he thought it would benefit the public, and end these disputes. This closed the case for the Caledonian Railway, with the exception of the Dalmakedder branch, which it was agreed should be afterwards considered. THE NORTH BRITISH COMPANY. Mr. TaLnoT opened the case for the Caledonian Company, and contended that as the East Coast Railway was first in the field they should be allowed to extend their scheme from Hawick to Carlisle, thus giving accommodation to a district which, by the system of the Caledonian Company, would be altogether deprived of it. Mr. Rutherford, Crayling, Roxburghshire, said that the county was an important agricultural one. The acreage at present devoted to agricultural purposes (the greater quan tity being for the rearing and breeding of sheep) was 437,421, and the capital employed was upwards of a million and a half. There was grown of different descriptions of grain 270,999 quarters, and a this quantity there might be ex ported 71,000 quarters. This would be sent to Ilawick, and westward to Dumfriesshire and Cumberland. Seed was also exported from Roxburgh to these :counties, because it was considered of a superior quality. Great num bers of cattle were imported for the purposes of feeding from different parts of Scotland, from the Highlands, and from Ireland. The r e were ma ny markets in the district for the sale of these cattle, which would be on the line of railway. The cattl e at present imported were driven, but they could be fatten e d at a less cost if the railway were cons t ructe d, as it would do away with the fatigue from which the cattle suffered by the present mode of travelling. INl e I r os fair w as a very large one, about 100,000 sheep beiug MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) On Wednesday Eliza Johnson, a young woman, about 20 years of age, pleaded guilty to having committed a theft. The Learned JUDGE asked her what had induced her to commit this act ? Prisoner—l did it, my Lord, to be sent out of the country. lam quite tired of the mode of life I have been pursuing here, and I am most anxious to get away from it. The Learned JuncE—Yes, I see that is what you said when you were taken. Has she ever been convicted before ? One of the officers replied in the negative. The Learned JUDGE did not see that he ought at once to send her out of the country without a previous con viction. Prisoner—l am quite tired of my life here. What am Itodo ? I have not any friends, and it is my wish from my heart to get away from the life I have been thrown into, and have been compelled to lead for some time. I am quite tired of it. The Learned JUDGE said she must be remanded until the next morning, in order that some inquiries might be made about her. He should not, under the present state of matters with respect to women who were transported to Van Diemen's Land, feel so much compunction in sending out women to that country as he should have done some twelve monas since. At that period the state of affairs in connexion with the female transports was most lamentable and dreadful. Now, however, he was happy to say that there was a very different state of things. There had been established in Van Diemen's Land an " Institution for the Refor mation of Female Convicts," which was under the care and superintendence of a most excellent woman, with whom he was well acquainted, Mrs. Bowden, a lady who for some years had been the matron of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. The Home Government had been most anxious to forward the views and exertions of that lady upon the subject. The jury might have heard of the removal of the late Governor of Van Diemen's Land, Sir Eardley Willmot, and he might perhaps state that one part of the reason for the removal of that gentleman was, that he had not sent any reports to this country upon this matter. He had himself for some years been in frequent communication with Mrs. Bowden during her residence at Hanwell, and he had, therefore, had numerous opportunities of forming an opinion of her capacity of mind, and of ascertaining her views on this important question; and since her arrival in Van Die men's Land she had found a strong desire on the part of the Home Government to assist her in carrying out her object. She was much astonished to find on her arrival in that country that all the clothes for the female convicts were sent out from England ready-made, and thus that there were no means of giving the prisoners employment, even by the manufacture of the very clothes they were to wear. The first step towards the reforma tion of this state of things, and, of course, with a view to the reformation of the prisoners themselves, which was taken by Mrs. Bowden, was to apply to the Government at home to hare the unmade materials sent out, so that she might give them to the convicts to cut out and make up for their own wearing apparel, thereby giving them useful employment. In this application Mrs. Bowden was successful; but even then she had not sufficient employment for all the women under her charge, and therefore she endeavoured to obtain con tracts for them to manufacture shirts. Well, then, con tracts she got, but she met with a difficulty in respect of the price she had undertaken to make each shirt for, because that charge happened to be something less than the fixed price of the colony. ,Upon this Mrs. Bowden was subjected 'to a penalty. So much for the 'proteetion system. She was Exchequcred, in fact, for making shirts for less than the established colony price. But the Government had put an end to this state of matters. Still there was not enough employment; and therefore Mrs. Bowden endeavoured to discover whether she could not put them in the way of making bonnets; but, strange to say, upon inquiry, she ascertained that, not withstanding some of the most beautiful straw in the world is produced in that country, there was not a single individual at Hobart Town who knew how to make such a thing as a bonnet. All the bonnets in use there were sent out ready made. Upon this Mrs. Bowden obtained some straw, and ere long had taught herself how to make one; she then taught the women under her care, and having effected that object, she established a straw-bonnet manufactory, and had now 150 female convicts employed in the operation. Even with these sources of occupation she was still without a suffi ciency of employment for all the prisoners, and she next thought whether she could not establish a manufac tory for cloth upon a small scale. In this Object he was glad to find she had met with much success, for she now had a vessel, the Anson, to which wool was taken in its raw state, and which the convicts on board made into the coarser cloths. The result of this energy of conduct on the part of this lady was that she now had the means of providing full employment for all the female convicts. He had a few days since only received a letter from Mrs. Bowden, who gave him a most flattering and pleasing picture of the present state of the women under her care. In consequence of this altered mode of treatment of the female transports, he should have less difficulty than heretofore in sending them out, because, even though a woman were transported for life, if she con• ducted herself well and benefited by the reformatory system, she might gain a letter of leave, which would enable her to quit her confinement, and thus she might have an opportunity of earning her livelihood and of marrying, and so become once more a decent and re spectable member of society. Mrs. Bowden from her residence at the Hanwelr Asylum had witnessed the effects of moral influence over the unhappy lunatic, and she had determined to try what results could be accom plished by the application of moral influence to female convicts. What those results had been he had just told them, and a more gratifying end it was not easy to describe. The prisoner was then remanded until to-morrow (this morning). STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, MAY 4.—The announcement of an intended purchase of English Government Secu rities by the Emperor of Russia, caused a more cheerful feeling in our market on Saturday; but the increasing difficulty of obtaining discounts, and the alarming ac counts of the scarcity of food in Germany, and the con sequent advance of prices in the London market yester day, have entirely dissipated all appearance of improve. ment. The market to-day has been one of the worst ever known; the demand for goods being on the most limited scale, whilst many manufacturers have evinced a disposition to accept lower prices for quantities. Gene rally speaking, however, the business has been confined to the purchase of small parcels to supply immediate wants, at about the rates of last Tuesday. The yarn market has also been very flat. A little more business has been done in goods, but at prices below those of last week. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, MAY 4.—A1l parties ap pear to be paralysed by the great advance on corn, at Mark-lane, )yesterday. We have had several buyers, but they use the greatest caution. Much anxiety is ex pressed, and all seem fearful that we are not at the worst period. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, MAY 3.—We have had an ex tremely dull market, with very little business trans acted. The wool market has been quite as flat as the flannel market, and prices much the same as those of last week. HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MAY I,—There were more merchants in the hall to-day than this day week, but very few goods were purchased, and the trade continues very flat. The pressure on the money-market has checked the demand for yarn, and spinners are content to obtain orders at old rates. No one is buying wool, except to supply present co nsumption. For sorts that are wanted the re is scarcely any reduction to be noted ; but holders cannot force sales without submitting to lower prices. No L one EE D sTITESDAY, MAY 4.—The additional rise in the corn-market, and the unsettled state of mo net ary affairs, caused our market of this day to be v er y q uiet indeed. buys except to definite orders ; and such being trifling, very little has been doing in the staple articles of our district.—Manchester Guardian.

Thelii. your ship to the seaside and see if it will float ; but if 1 .:,; $ not, you must take it out of the water-and pull it te . l"Z e e again, and begin making a fresh ship. Do beginuntil 1!„‘,`„ i l l petu b o a tt ia not sink. When this is the case, you can your guns; but, if it should roll over, which is very Prato the you had better carry away your ship before it gv• -- d eon' bottom, and pull it to pieces again, and patch it, an, do es struct it on quite a new plan; but if, after all, !!' r oe., nothing but roll over, you had better put it aside amore ottx wood, and lose no more time about getting some Ilw m using timber, and begin building another ship. The roosts at tbs game, however, is to build some four or five g bi P s 'opl same time, as like one another as two eggs, and ' t° i r , the them all together. It is great fun to watch thetnroil, and water. One will pitch, the other will toss; one 'r l ' : ... like A another will do nothing at all but show a strong des ire , stone, to go to the bottom. This sport is ve r y - t Yon _„„,„ for i • and nsver tires, no matter how often yoilm - J may play at this game as often as you l ike ' n ot c ;o 1706 to no harm in trying the experiments, as the ships yourselves, and have nothing to 3 for all. ment.
