Parliament vas opened on Tuesday by her Majesty, i person, with the usual forms. Long. before 12 o'clock, the hour at which the door ...-.. opened, vast crowds had assembled around th exterior of the house to witness the arrival of peers an peeresses who were to be present on the occasion, and very soon after the doors were opened, the Royal galler was filled.

The Lord iancellor, too, who had arrived a few moments before, ;o talked with his Royal Highness. The Dille of Wel gton arrived about five minutes after the Duke of Cam- Edge, who greeted his Grace with, " Why, Duke, you Precisely at 2 - o'clock the nounced the approach of her Aajest, nutes after, the prolonged note of the•tri._ through the Royal gallery apprised those sembled in the House of Pe. arrived. • Immediately afterwarc,.. Officers of the Household and otl Maje"' guns were heard which an- hat h€ ;sion of who attend her aajesty. on these occasions entered the house by the side door leading from the Royal gallery. The Earl of Zetland bore the Cap of Maintenance, the Duke of Wellington the Sword of State ' the Marquis of L ans d owne th e C rown. Her Majesty followed, accompanied by Prince Albert. The whole assembly rose as her Majesty entered. Her Majesty bowed most graciously repeatedly, and the Prince then conducted her up to the throne. His Royal High ness occupied the smaller throne on the left ; that on the right, for'the Prince of Wales, being left vacant. The Duchess of Sutherland stood on the right of the throne, close to her Majesty, and the Marchioness of Douro, as lady-in-waiting, stood, near the duchess. The Duke of Wellington stood immediately to the left of her Majesty, holding the Sword of State. The Marquis of Lansdowne stood to the right of the throne, on the floor of the house, bearing the Crown, on a silver velvet cushion. Her Majesty, having seated herself, desired the lord: to be seated. The Commons were the , •vordins, , tc custom, summoned to appear at th' bar to hear the jesty, who proceeded to re and emphasis. referring to Irish distress were delivered by The speech was then handed by the Lord Ch ance ll or t o _ sual ad ble that mirable clearn . es he passage her Majesty in rather a subdued tone, and with an accent of sympathy for the sufferings described; but when her Majesty came to the passage relating to the Spanish mar riage, and also that which refers to the subject of C her tone became perceptibly changed ; and, beside, . she spoke more loudly and emphatically, there was a slight abruptness in the delivery. The aspect of the inte rior of the house during. the ceremony was more brilliant even than usual, in consequence of the place bei ng lit u p. At all times the scene is'splendid and imposing, from the gay array of brilliant uniforms, the beauty of the ladies, and the elegance of their costumes, and, above all, from the presence of so many illustrious persons, distinguished for high rank or for talent, who are seldom or never as- racow, that semblea except on such an occasion. Her Majesty's dress, particularly the stomacher and tiara, blazed with diamonds, and the jewels of the Duchess of Sutherland also shone with conspicuous splendour. With the reading of the speech the ceremony of open ing Parliament was concluded. Her Majesty and the Prince, preceded and attended as before, left the house on their return to Buckingham Palace. At 5 o'clock the hou - se re-assembled. There were some changes in the position of the leading peers. The Minis ters, of course, occupied their usual seats. Lord Melbourne lfas present, and occupied the seat he usually held among his colleagues when he was a minister. On the Opposi tion bench there was a change. Lord Stanley occupied the usual place of the leader of opposition.' By his side was the Duke of Richmond, and the principal Protec tionist peers were seated near. The Duke of Buckingham occupied the seat next Lord Brougham, below the gang way, and the Earl of Winchilsea sat next to him. The Duke of Wellington arrived at a few minutes after five o'clock, and immediately took his seat on the cross benches. The Earl of St. Germans and one or two other members of the former Government sat below the gangway. OrnEral 1t ttliaitp.

The sum of £2500 was collected in the Brighton ou Sunday and the Sunday before, in behalf of the destitution in Ireland and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The Grocers' Company have voted £lOOO for the relief of the distress in Ireland and Scotland, and £lOO to the Metropolitan Relief Society, in addition to £2OO voted to the same society in 1844. Hips and haws have been remarkably scarce during the present season ; and many birds in different parts of the country have perished of hunger, in consequence of the want of their accustomed food. In the course of the year 1846, the shipping entered the port of London increased 186 ships, measur ing 30,403 tons, as compared with the returns for the year 1845. GLUT OF SPRATS.---A correspondent of the Times says that myriads of sprats are now being caught in the Lower Swin, off the Essex coast, and sold to the farmers for ma nure, at the rate of Bd. the bushel. The Hereford Journal says that the oldest inhabitant in the Forest of Dean cannot remember a time when the coal trade was more brisk than it is at present. Sufficient coal cannot be obtained to meet the demand, although the men work night as well as day.

INCREASED RATE OF DISCOUNT.—The following no tice was posted in the discount office at the Bank of Eng land on. Thursday :—" The minimum rate of interest on bills discounted at the Bank of England, not having more than 95 days to run, is 4 per cent.—Jan. 21, 1847." The ready-shelled green peas now selling in the London market, and represented as an arrival from Holland, are but a small species of our common grey ; pea, dyed with a preparation of verdigris and brine, in which they are partly boiled to render them a little mellow.

Duckett, who had been remanded since the 4th inst. for an attempt upon the life of his wife, by cutting her throat, at Middlewich, was last week committed to take his trial at the assizes, the poor woman having so far recovered as to be able to give evidence against him. A boy named William Wood, living at Onibersley, Worcestershire, and employed by Mr. It. Amphlett, of Lineholt Common, to shoot birds upon the farm, was killed last week by an accidental discharge of his gun, the . contents of whichlodged in his head. H. M.'s steam-sloop Sphynx was run aground on Sa turday, at Chilton :five miles ahead of the Needles : th e last reports state her to be breaking up, and fast sinking in the sands. Mr. Harris and six men of the Scourge were drowned on Monday in trying to board her. SUDDEN DEATH.—Lord Charles Stuart, son of the Earl of Murray, went to bed on Wednesday night in good health, and was found by his servant, on entering his room shortly after nine on Thursday morning, lying on the floor on his face, apparently senseless. Two doctors were in immediate attendance, but life was extinct. EXCISE DUTY ON PAPER.—A meeting of the paper makers of Scotland was held on Wednesday, in the ware house of Mr. Cameron, Bank-street, for the purpose of adopting resolutions deprecatory of the 'excise duty on paper, and for petitioning the government for its repeal. The various resolutions were unanimously agreed to. On Thursday the Common Council of London voted £2,000, with acclamation, for the relief of the distressed Irish and Scotch. The Lord Mayor said he would hand over the money that night, and he expressed a fervent hope that the example would be followed by every corpo. ration in England. Mr. Thomas Newport, farmer, of Clavering, has beer taken into custody, as being implicated in the poisoning cases at Manuden and Clavering, for which Sarah Ches. ham awaits her trial at the ensuing assizes, and the cas( stood remanded to Monday, at the Police Station, New. - The Duke of Manchester has written to the Times to say, that the reason for his grace not replying to Arch deacon Saurin's application for the relief of the destitute Irish, was of a private nature. It appears that during the last four years three-sevenths of the duke's disposable income have been expended in labour and charities on his Irish property. THE PRICE OF BEER.—We are requested to state that the London brewers have not raised the price of porter One penny per quart, or 12s. a barrel, as was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but ,only ss. a barrel, or rather less than one halfpenny • a quart. The additional advance has, no doubt, in many.instances, been made by the retailers.—Times. The Morning Herald says that in the town of Notting ham there as many as eight-and-twenty different sects ; and of the Methodists alone, seven separate and dis tinct bodies. Besides which there is the perpetual change which is ever going on amidst these fluctuating sects or parties. A man is a Baptist in January, a Kilhamite in July, and a Romanist in December. A young man was found dead in• his bed, at Notting ham, on Saturday, from suffocation produced by the car bonic acid gas evolved from a chafing-dish filled with burning embers. Before he' retired to rest, he had care fully stopped up the window and fireplace, and, indeed, every other crevice, so that it was impossible for the noxious vapour to escape from the room. Since the recent excitement caused by the death of a girl who was imprisoned by a proctor at Cambridge, there have been several disturbances at night ; the mob rescuing females who haVe been arrested by the order of the-proc tors. Twice last week these riotous proceedings were renewed ; the mob succeeding in their object on both occasions, and hooting at the proctor and his men. PRISON REroumAzioN..--Seven offenders were libera ted from Gloucester county gaol a few- days ago. • In thd course of the same day two of them succeeded in perpe trating a fresh felony and effecting their escape, and the other five fell into the hands of the police as drunk and disorderly, having squandered in intoxication the money which the magistrates had given them to provide for pre sent necessities. PAINFUL DISCOVERY.—On the night of Sunday, the 27th ult., Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who resided with her husband at Pope's Villa, Twickenham, disappeared from her home. She had d r es se d u p th e pilldw and placed it by the side of her partner, and he did not miss her till the morning. Nothing was heard of her till Saturday, when her dead body was picked up in the river Thames, off Lambeth. A SINGULAR CHARACTER.—An old woman named Sarah Valiant, who resided in Wye-bridge-street, Mon mouth, died on Tuesday week. She had for many years gained her livelihood by carrying pails of water to the houses in the neighbourhood, and was apparently in very poor circumstances. After her death, however, seventy guineas were found in various parts of the house, wrapped up in pieces of linen. These she had by will bequeathed to her niece. She was about 73 years old. Mr. David Bevan, banker, of London, who. died on the 24th ultimo, has l e ft p ersona l property valued at £250,000. He has bequeathed to his son, R. L. Bevan, X 40,000; to his son, the Rev. D. B. Bevan, Rector of Burton Latimer, £40,000; to his four daughters, (among whom is the wife of the Rev. T. Mortimer, B.D:, minis ter of Gray's Irn-lane Ch a p e l, L on d on ,) £20,000 each. The whole of his real property he leaves to his son, R. C. L. Bevan. EARLY GENIUS.—The price of bread was raised on Tuesday last. A boy went into one of our baker's shops the same afternoon, and asked for an oblong piece of sub stance of yesterday's baking. . The towel round it, he tendered the old price, when another halfpenny was de manded, on the ground that the price had risen that day. " Oh !" said young hopeful, that's sure enough, but this loaf is of yesterday's baking !" The baker laughed for his halfpenny. The boy might do for Go-a-head land. — Ayr Advertiser. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.—The official document of the public income and expenditure for the year ending the sth of January last., laid before parlia-, ment on Wednesday, was issued on Saturday. The total income for the year was £53,790,138 75., 5d., and the ex penditure £50,943,830 Bs. 3d., leaving an excess of-in come over the expenditure of £2,846,307 19s. 2d. The balances in the Exchequer, on the sth of January, 1846, amounted to £8,452,090 Os. Old., and on the 'sth of the present month they were £9,131,282 7s. 101 d. The third subscription list of the British Association for the relief of the distress in Ireland and Scotland, has been published. It amounts to £48,825, and is followed by ad ditional subscriptions which carry the above sum to at least £60,000. To this must be added the fund raising by the National Club, which may be estimated at nearly £lO,OOO, and the " Ladies Relief Association" for Ireland only, at the head of which is the Queen Dowager. All, therefore, that mere charity can do to alleviate this ter rible calamity, is being done. • A SOLDIER FROZEN TO DEATH.—On Thursday morn ing, the dead body of a soldier was found on a part of the moor above Glossop Low. It appears that his intention was to go from Burnley to Sheffield to visit his friends. There is little doubt the unfortunate man missed his way, and, becoming bewildered amid the darkness, was frozen to death. The deceased's name was Samuel Burgin, of the 69th Regiment, new stationed at Burnley ; he was a very fine athletic man, about thirty-four years of age. When found, he was completely glazed over with ice, and frozen fast to the ground. It is supposed he was in li quor, but he received an excellent character for sobriety. CONNUBIAL CODIPLICATION. — III the parish of Cruwy s Merchard, there is a remarkable lady, who is now near her 70th year, and is the mother of ten children, who y aave all given their hands in wedlock, and who has up wards of forty grandchildren. This venerable dame hath now for the third time been led to the altar by a young farmer of the parish aforesaid, and who is about the age of her ninth child by a former husband, in order that she may enjoy the solace of a marriage life in the sweet society - of a young and tender consort. The old lady's niece has been married to her sister's husband's father, and consequently has become grandmother to ,an older sister's children.—Exeter Times. ACCIDENTALLY rri A da M y, oT th n e v.u ;.. o o Tazewell, SHOT near BY HRR ‘t Glastonbury, having been shooting small birds, brought home his gun' loaded, and hung it up in its usual place, first taking off the cap. He then went out, and another son, at boy about ten years of age, in the absence of his mother, having taken down the gun and placed another cap on it, on his mother's return said, , t Mother, I am going to pop the candle out," and immediately fired. The whole of the charge lodged in the body of his unfor tunate parent, just below the breast; she uttered one moan, and died, leaving eight orphan children to deplore her loss.—Somerset Gazette. • BURIAL PLACES OUT OF LARGE TOWNS.—We are glad to observe that the Metropolitan and Suburban Ceme tery Society have been so. successful in the great support they have received, that they have not only purchased large plots of ground near the metropolis, but have also formed themselves into another company to effect the same object for the great cities and populous districts of the country. The estimates prepared by one of the four surveyors of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London, show a clear dividend of 20 per cent. on the capital of 250 years, and it is expected that la r ge towns, by the same economical principles being applied, will yield similar returns. The deposit being only 2s. per share, may, however, lead to a great deal of speculation for immediate profits, which is to be regretted.—Mark Lane Express. DESTRUCTION OF HORSES.—The Essex Herald says,— " We are credibly informed that, within a circle of about three miles, not fewer than twenty horses, Which were t o all appearance in p rev i ous goo d health, have died within the last twelve months suddenly, post mortem examina tions exhibiting no ostensible cause for their deaths. One of them was a fine animal, valued at forty guineas. Nor has the system been confined to the destruction of that noble animal, the hone ; a cow, in the same vicinity, worth £lB, was no t long since found dead, and - no doubt is entertained, the recently-made footmarks of persons being evident around the carcass, that it was suffocated. It is imagined that the animals thus killed in fine con dition, have been taken to a more lucrative market than that offered by the kennel or the boiler; and it is even stated that joints have been salted down in firkins, and sold as foreign beef so imported." A CROW !—The Times of Friday has a note of triumph over the approaching fall of the poor-law Commfssioners : —" The day of retribution for the Somerset-house trium virate is at hand. • 'All three of them are desperate ; their great guilt, Like poison given to work a great time after, Now 'gins to bite the spirits ' No rats ever ran from a falling house more rapidly than they have turned tail upon their own system since there has been an end of all doubt of its speedy downfall. Their eitinctien, announced last night, has been inevit able ever since the report of the Andover committee, and their endeavours to pick up a good character in the inter val have been miserably unsuccessful." A GREAT FALL OF BARLEY.-011 Sunday, the men working in the gas-house heard a tremendous crash in the direction of the three newly-erected maltings of Messrs. Taylor and Son, at Bishops Stortford. It was soon after discovered to have been occasioned by the whole floor of one of the barley chambers giving way, with the immense quantity of grain (upwards of 1,000 quarters) above it. A number of Messrs. Taylor's men endea- voured to secure as much as possible of what had been forced out into the yard. While this was going on, at tention was directed to . the barley chamber of the malt ing adjoining, which was found to be givipg way under about the same quantity of grain, but by prompt applica tion of some strong timber it was prevented from bulging out. A hole was cut in the end the next morning, and about 100 quafters taken out IGHWAY ROBBERY AND MIIRDER.-0/1 Monday night, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, as Mr. John Riley, tobacconist, in Waingate, was on his way to his residence, in the Occupation-road, and had proceeded as far as the top of Tom Cross-lane, near Burgin's-gar dens, three men suddenly rushed upon him from the opposite side of the road to that on which he was walking, one of whom struck him a blow•across the forehead with a bludgeon, or life-preserver, by which he was at once rendered insensible, and he fell to the ground bleeding profusely from the wound. The villains stole about 30s. in silver, and having secured Mr. Riley's watch (a silver lever, without maker's name, and numbered 3,260,) and also his hat and stick, they left him insensible and bleed ing on the ground. Mr. Riley has since died.—She f field Times. THE POOS.-LAW CASE AT WORCESTER. We recently gave the particulars of a wretched case at Worcester, where a woman was confined in an empty house, during the late frost, without coal, clothing, or food, and where her infant died, as it was alleged, through the indifference and neglect of the relieving officer of the union, a person named Crisp. Official inquiries have been made into the circumstances, by order of the Poor-law Commis sioners, who have sent down to the Worcester Guardians their decision, which is, that the Guardians are to at once " call for and accept Crisp's resignation." The guardians have, however, positively refused to carry out the com missioners' intention, and are, therefore, placed a second time in antagonism with the commissioners, having pre viously declined to dismiss, at the comm an d o f th e com missioners, . the governor f the workhouse. It rema i ns , therefore, to be seen what steps the commissioners will take in consequence. The guardians are satisfied with the conduct of their officers. RAGGED ScHooLs,—A writer (said to be Lord Ashley) in the last Quarterly Review, endeavours to make the community understand something of the nature and ob ject of, and necessity for, those " Ragged Schools," which have Sprung up, within the last four years, in many dis tricts of the metropolis. H e sa y s , that, though unable to obtain minute returns from every school, "We have ex amined fifteen schools, and find an amount of 2,345 children and young persons between the ages of five and seventeen, with some few even older. The number of average attenaants will be less by at least one-third, and will be therefore about 1,600. Now of these 162 confess that they have been in prison -116 have run away from their homes-170 sleep in their lodging-houses (the chief sinks of iniquity in the metropolis)-253 live by begging —216 have no shoes or stockings-280 have no hat, cap, or bonnet-191 have no body linen-249 never sleep in beds-69 are the children of convicts-125 have stepmo thers—and 306 have lost one or both parents, a large pro portion 'having lost both. POOR-LAW ACCOMMODATION. The parish of St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, has become crowded to excess by the fearful increase in the number of candidates for admission. Such has been the amount of deititution prevailing in the district alluded to, that the only asylum open to the poor has been crowded to a degree which threatened to engender disease and pestilence. An Assist ant Commissioner having visited the abode which the law has provided for poverty in the parish of St. George-the- Martyr, gives a frightful picture of the condition of that establishment. He found 43 persons packed together in a room containing 12 beds, and in the wards called infec ' tious, and receiving. wards,. 22 men and 14 boys were crammed, with only 15 beds for the whole number to lie upon. In another small apartment, which seemed to the Assistant-Commissioner not more than 12 feet square, no less than eight-and-twenty female trampers and children passed the night of the Bth of the present month, and the room being on the basement, is one which the medical officer has declared it impossible to warm or ventilate. Every paragraph of the communication addressed by the subordinate functionary to his chiefs contains information of .the, discomfort and danger to which the poor have been exposed by the over-crowding of the workhouse. The recent discovery of a new planet (an event entirely new in the history of astronomy, and equalled only by the extraordinary prediction of Sir Isaac Newton, that the hardest and most valuable of our gems was vegetablesub stance) has been succeeded by another, and perhaps more extraordinary' discovery in astronomy by Professor Mid ler, of Dorpat. By an extensive and laborious compari son of the quantities and directions of the proper motions of the stars in various parts of the heavens, combined with indications afforded by the parallexes hitherto deter mined, and with the theory of universal gravitation, Pro fessor Midler has arrived at the conclusion that the Pleiades for the central group of our whole astral or side ral system, including the Milky Way and all the brighter stars, but exclusive of the more distant nebulte, and of the stars of which those nebulae may be compOsed, and within this central group itself he has been led to fix on the star Alcoyne (otherwise known by the name of Eta Tauri), as occupying exactly or nearly the position of the centre of gravity, and as entitled to be called the central sun. As suming Bessel's parallax of the star sixty-one Cygni, long s ince remarkable for its large proper motion, to be cor rectly determined, Midler proceeds to form a first ap proximate estimate of the distance of this central body from the planetary or solar system ; and arrives at the (provisional) conclusion, that Alcoyne is about 34,000,000 times as far removed from us, or .from our own sun, as the latter luminary is from us. It would therefore, ac cording to this estimation, be at least a million times as distant as the new planet, of which the theoretical or de ductive discovery has been so. great and beautiful a tri umph of modern astronomy, and so striking a confirma tion of the law of Newton. The revolution of our system in its orbit is said to occupy 18,000,000 of years, travel ling at the rate of eight miles in a second ; the plane of this orbit is said to be inclined to the eliptic at about 84 degrees ; and the longitude of the ascending node of the former orbit on the latter is concluded to be nearly 237 degrees. DEATH FROM IMPURE AIR IN A COMMON LODGING HOUSE.—An inquest was held recently before Mr. Payne, the City .of London Coroner, upon the body of a man unknown, who died suddenly in a common lodging house, in Shoe Lane. The deceased, it appeared, had been in better circumstances, and got his living by working occa sionally at the docks and wharfs. On Friday night he came home to his lodging 'about six o'clock, and com plained of a pain in his loins. He went early to bed, and during the night was heard to laugh hysterically. In the morning he was found a corpse. Dr. J. Lynch said, that on going into the room he found a very offensive smell, as if there had been several persons sleeping in it. He stooped down at the first bed, arid foimd the b o d y o f the ri of . ..nat. - 1 M. Li_ • • . • _ wen nim, ana vca, . 11,41 1 quantity of blood flowed. On looking around the room he saw quite sufficient to account for the death : the room could, not give, under any circumstances, healthful accommodation to one individual, much less to four, who had been sleep ing in the same apartment, The fireplace was blocked up, and every means had been taken to prevent a free current of air in the apartment. Many of these lodging-houses were built over cesspools, and the i m p ure a i r b rea th e d i n the confined apartment had the same effect upon the vital parts as inhaling the noxious vapour of burning, charcoal. The man might probably have been affected with lumbago, but he died in a fit, no doubt caused by breathing impure air. He had no hesitation in saying that death in the present ease was accelerated by want of proper• ventikl tion. A man required for the purposes of life 1000 cubic feet of pure air, and should not inhabit a room less b ten feet high and eight feet wide ; but the roomn which the deceased, with three other persons, 'slept, was l neither so wide nor so high. Dr. Lynch, at considerable length, gave a most painful description of the wretched hovels whera thu poor creatures paid for nights' lodgings in the vicinity of Smithfield and Field Lane. In some of them eight or nine persons slept, whilst accommodation was afforded for only two. Referring to the health of the people inhabiting courts, the doctor said that it was a well known fact, that out of 100,0(10 children born, 50,000 died solely from inhaling impure air, The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from natural causes, ac celerated by the want of pure ventilation, the jury at the sainc time requesting that the attention of the authorities be drawn to the subject, so that there be a proper super sion over lodging houses."

SIR,—Mr. Bramley-Moore, in his letter to Sir G. Grey on national education, says, that " there are in Liverpool 65,471 houses, assessed for £1,368,652, which, at 2d. in the pound, would produce £14,255 for the purposes of education, but of which £9,540 only can be realised." • Now, sir, to extend these figures to the purposes of the pooi-rates, let us suppose the assessed property of the town 'to be £1.368,652, this, at 2s. ld. in the pound, (the poor-rate for last year,) Would bring £142,567 18s. 4d., of which the sum of £95,400 only is, or can, be realised, according to Mr. Moore's statement, leaving a balance of £47,167 18s. 4d. not accounted for, but from which de duct £7,167 18s. 4d., the maximum amount due from un occupied tenements, would still leave the enormous sum of £40,000 due to the parish on last ygar's assessment. Why is this ? Are the Collectors not able to get this money ? If they are, let them see to it ; if not, let others be appointed—and the overseers must adopt effective measures to obtain the outstanding debts before they at tempt to impose a rate to meet their present exigencies. If this money (and the rate in future years) is properly collected, there will be no occasion for any additional rate to meet the wants of the parish, either for education or feeding Irish mendicants ; and if the Collectors were paid a commission instead of a fixed salary, I ,think greater ex ertions would be made to obtain the outstanding rates. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, Liverpool, January 22, 18 The data upon which the above calculation is made, a perfectly correct ; but it would be difficult to realise the writer's views with respect to the collection of the addi tional forty thousand pounds of rate, for reasons which we shall briefly state. In the first place, our correspondent does not sufficiently bear in mind the source from which the defalcation complained of originates. 'We have in this town upwards of 2'0,000 tenements—small cottage and court houses—inhabited chiefly by weekly tenants, which are included in the rated value above mentioned. From the occupiers of these tenements, mostly of a migratory class, and many not far removed from paupers, it is found that the rates can only b e com p u l sor il y levied ; and the expense of attempting so to levy them would be a loss ra ther than , a gain to the parish. A summons wou ld cost • 43. 11l earn ease ; men mere would be the loss of time of officers attending to prove the amount due, afterwards the cost of a warrant and levy ; and, even could this expense be borne, the magistrates would decline to enforce the rate against such parties, who, if deprived of their few household articles, must become recipients of parish relief. Besides, it is physically impossible that the mere routine of compelling payment upon the entire assessment could be got through. A hundred summonses would be the utmost that Wire be heard in a day, or 600 a week. It would thus Wire 33 weeks to get through the list. Taking into consideration, however, the additional time which would be consumed by the bench in granting war rants, the whole business would occupy 40 weeks, before the expiration of which a new rate would be laid. • Suppose, however, by way of exampl e t o th e d e f au lt ers, the attempt were made for a few years, regardless of the certainty that only loss would accrue to the parish. What would be the result ? We should have an overwhelming number of the ignorant and half-pauper portion of our population placed upon the municipal and borough regis ters, who would have it in their power effectually to swamp the registration, and to do as they listed with the property of the burgesses. We cannot, however, enforce the pay ment from such parties ; and in whatever light we look at our position, we are in a cleft stick. We might, indeed, as in some other large towns, impose the onus of the rat es u p on th e owners o f property so te nanted. But here again we are met by a difficulty, which we have already found to be insurmountable. The cot tagc-owners are a sufficiently numerous body to defeat any attempt to procure a local act to render them liable. Looking, therefore, at the fact, that year by year fresh cottage erections are rising up within the borough, and that property, once respectably tenanted, is becoming virtually good cottage property, whilst the former occupiers Of such good property are getting into the suburbs, the heavy im posts, now hanging over our heads, threaten to fall, at no _distant period, prin c ip a ll y upon the tradesmen and shop -keepers, whose avocations do not permit the same ready escape which is open to the wealthy merchant. This is surely a state of things which calls upon the le gislature itself to take the initiative in remedying. A go vernment measure to enforce upon the owners of every species of property a fulfilment of their public duties is the only resource left us. Last year the poor's rate col lected was 71 per cent. upon the gross assessment. With a double, or treble rate; which will be called for, we should not be greatly surprised if 50 per cent. was the utmost collected next year. The whole subject is well.worthy of the attention of the authorities and of the public ; and it must receive such attention if the property of the borough is not to be confiscated, and a large numbex of its trades men and respectable inhabitants ruined. We believe that remCdial measures are already under discussion by the parish authorities.] ' DISTRESS IN IRELAND, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. DEAR SIR S I send you the following extract from a letter, received this morning, relative to the distress in Ireland. The writer speaks what he knows, and testifies what he has seen, and few are more competent than a pro prietor, who has resided amongst his tenantry without in terruption for a period of thirty-two years and upwards, holding the commission of the peace for nearly the entire of the time. The letter was written without any view to its publica tion:- but yielding to the suggestion of an influential friend, and anticipating the kind indulgence of the re spected writer, I venture upon the liberty of submitting the extract to your readers, and am, dear sir, yours &c., THOMAS NOLAN. St: Barnabas' , Liverpool, January 25,1847. " Castlecooke, near Fermoy, County Cork. "1 could scarcely pourtray the extreme destitution of this-populous mountainous district,---no wheat, and all the potatoes and oats failed. The labouring classes and small farmers exist chiefly on turnips at 31)s. per ton, and I contemplate with dismay the disappearance of them, which cannot be ver y distant. Meal and b rea d s t u ff s are quite out of their reach. You would not believe to the full extent the emaciated pallid appearance of the once stout p e asantry, trying to stand out the day on the public works, while the unemployed, which are now about 40 i n this locality, chiefly keep their beds, to cheat the cravings of hunger. I know them; intimately, and, while I wonder how many exist, I admire their patience and forbearance. Poor people ! they never were accustomed to much comfort, and can bear their privatiOns better than more pampered folk. If food, plentiful and within the range of their means, be not supplied shortly, the loss of life must be extensive. I fear the situation of this country, generally, is neither understood nor believed in England. However, the Queen's speech, which I have read this moment, appears to indicate a strong wish to relieve us. If something extensive, to provide subsistence at - present and to insure the means of croppingin pro spective, be not enacted, the next year will be worse than this to such as survive. May the Lord bless you, and bring us all through this severe though merited trial, is the fervent prayer of your sincere friend, "WM. C. COLLIS " Rev. Thomas Nolan." YELLOW RICE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,--I enclose an original receipt for yellow rice, a Preparation, I believe, unknown in England. It is re- markably cheap, as the quantity.mentioned may be made for 9d. If you think it likely to prove useful, I beg you will make use of it, and believe me to remain with sincere respect and esteem, AMICUS. Take one pound of rice, wash it clean, , and put it into a saucepan which will hold three quarts, add to it half a pound of currants picked and washed, one quarter of an ounce of the best turmeric powder, previously dissolved in a cupful of water, and a stick of cinnamon ; pour over them two quarts of cold water, place the saucepan unco vered on a moderate fire, and allow it to boil till the rice is dry, then stir in a quarter of a pound of sugar and two ounces of butter, cover up and place. the pan near the fire for a few minutes, then mix it well and dish up. This is a v ery'favourite dish with the Javanese, and will be found an excellent substitute for potatoes, with all roast meats, poultry, &c. It also forms a capital pudding, which may be improved by the addition of raisins and a few blanched almonds. TIFF, MERCURY" S PROFANITY, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Six, I cannot refrain, although a private individual, from bringing before the immediate notice of the public, and that, through the means of your truly constitutional paper, an insertion , if I may so term it, which app ear ed in the Liverpool Mercury of Friday last, and which, by the editor's kind permission, found a place in the columns of that journal. It purports to be ' A New Translation of the 12th Chapter of the lst*Book of Chronicles ;" and under the title of " brochure" it conceals such a mixture of imaginary satire and unblushing profaneness, as was perhaps never bef ore g i ven to th e e y es o f an en li g htened public in a Christian empire. What could have possibly been the object of the writer ? what the probable tendency of his production ? It might be supposed that the one was th e se i z ing of an umm peachable record of ecclesiastical history, to conveythe irreverent phrases of a nAwananPr nolitirian ; and it can- not but be supposed that the other will excite only an in effable feeling of mingled contempt and pity in the heart of every true Christian, and every unflinching upholder of the sacred testimonies of Jehovah ! I boldly and unhesi tatingly assert that it is profane, and that it must be offensive in the sight of God: Let party skirmishers in political matters at least confine themselves to the debat ing of such matters in the language usually adopted by the parliamentary speakers; and which is commonly seen in the broad sheet of the public press ; but let them not have recourse to the Holy Word of God to clothe their often malignant ideas, or breathe the sacred and inspired records of his sanctuary in the same breath with the angry declamations of the orators of the Council chamber. With the abstract consideration of the matter in ques tion, as regards its political bearing, we havtehensottehirnn dis countenance of pages the G h o a s v p e e , been n its do ; but the effrontery which would plagiarise the o very Scripture for such a purpose , merits justlyt ad is no way creditable eto that paper ofesery loverwhose pass port to the eyes of the public.—l am, sir , &c.

We insert the following letter which we have received from London, signed "An Old NaVal Officer," for the purpose of offering a few remarks upon the recommenda tion which it contains : • London, January 22, 1847. SlR,—Observing in the Si. James's Chronicle an extract from your valuable paper, relating to the influx- of paupers from Ireland into Liverpool, and sensible of the great evils arising from it, not only to the population of your great commercial town, but, eventually, as- adding to the great pressure of paupers here and other parts of the kingdom, I take the liberty of suggesting that the remedy lies in the power of the Mayor and Corporation of Liver pool, as also with the authorities of Glasgow, and other ports under similar circumstances,' who, in such times as these, should act with some energy, and press upon the steam-packet companies, and other owners, the necessity of giving strict orders to their captains to take no paupers on board at the Irish ports ; and. if any are found on board, on arrival in England, by the police authorities stationed for the purpose, the captain commanding such vessel should be charged in his account with the mainte nance and expense of the return of such paupers by hit vessel: Unless this or some such plan is adopted the mis chief will go on, and the increasing evil must be borne as the necessary result. Remaining your well-wisher, • AN OLD NAVAL OFFICER, To the Editor of the Livenivol • standard. Our correspondent is doubtless aware that something very like his plan is adopted by the United States towards the commanders of vessels bringing emigrants to their ports. In every case of a ship arriving in New York, or any other American port, with passengers, the charterer or his agents must give bond that he will either find em ployment for them, or take them back—in other words, that. he will bear the city harmless for any charges to which the authorities may be put in respect to them. In the case of packets bringing emigrants from Ireland, we have no power to insist upon any regulation of this kind, that country being an integral portion of the British empire. With an efficient poor-law for Ireland wc , might pass them back to the parish from which they sailed, as is done with paupers in our own country. Any arrange ment of the kind proposed between steam-packet compa nies and their captains, is, we fear, out of the question;. an offer having been already made by our authorities to - take the decks of all steamers plying from Ireland to Liver pool, and refused by the companies. LIVERPOOL CHURCH OP ENGLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'LIVERPOOL STANDARD.. SlR, — The report of this valuable institution for 1846 has been lately published, and I am anxious that the following extract should be brought prominently before the clergy, who, in my humble judgment, have not given to the society the support it deserves, nor the support originally promised to it : " In presenting the tenth Report of the proceedings of the Liverpool Church of England School Society, the Committee are enabled to state that in consequence of the increased amount of the Confr'regatidnal Colle c ti ons , th e funds of the S oc i e t y are i n a better condition than they were in last year. In 1845 the Collections were only £l4O 4s. 7d. from nine Churches ; • and in 1846 they amount to £289 Bs. 3d. from thirteen Churches. They return their very grateful acknowledgments to those Cler gymen who have preached and made Collections, and take this opportunity of stating that the continuance of the Society in anything like a state of efficiency, seems to depend, under Providence, entirely upon the exertions of the Clergy, and the success of their Church Collections. If the Clergy are able to preach and make Church Collec tions, and increase the funds by soliciting. Annual Sub scriptions, the Schools can be maintained ; if not, it is hardly possible to imagine how Schools in such poor neighbourhoods as Broad-street and Naylor -Ma-ea can be kept up at all, as the Congregations are of course quite in competent to maintain them. They trust, therefore, that the Clergy will kindly continue to • bring the Society an nually before their Congregations, and so continue to assert the great and important principle . of Scriptural Education for the labouring Poor in the Principles of the Church of. England." I have alwa'is looked upon church collections as a very' desirable as well as very easy 'mode of levjoing contribu tions for charitable purposes ; and after the acknowledg ment in the above extract, and the great good which has resulted from a few extra collections, I trust th a t th e 'Present year will see a great accessio n of church contribu tions. I affi not too bold. in suggesting that there ought to be collections at half the churches in .Liverpool this year, and at the other half next ye ar ; indeed, I think it would be well if the committee sent a copy of the above extract to every clergyman in Liverpool and its neigh bourhood, calling his particular attention to it.—Yours, &c., A LAYMAN.

THE STARVING IRISH .1 71Yr an: n a; , fr lB B 4 1 77 4 haveho of v t e h s e o Newton Saville, AugAe t r h , been skui ff ediyng unavoidablyi3orespoused: in th MY DEAR MR. GROVES,—I can so rarely command a moment's leisure that , yo. ut I s pre vented giving you an earlier account of our proceed ingslocal i i t n y, re w li h ev o i s n e g ca th u e se have now to report that since the severe, frost have solely supported thirty families, comprisin g . 139 persons, giving_ them twice each week as much meal as they required to sustain them. We have one or more of some of these families employed planting trees, gathering stones, or any work we find convenient, so as to encourage industrious habits. We have been for several weeks giving soup daily to about 100 persons,- and I have purchased a supply of turnips which I sell at a low price. Added to this. I. continue to purchase weekly half a ton of meal (generally from Londonderry), and after supplying the families who have nothing but labour to eive in return, I sell it at a reduced price to the poor men who are em ployed on the public works, an accommodation every day becoming more valued, as the price of provisions now is fearful, and seems to become worse daily. Our rulers have surely been criminally culpable in not devising means to remedy this dreadful evil. Only think' of poor men leaving their homes at five o'clock on a cold winter's morning, after a breakfast of meal gruel, walking front four to six miles to be in time for their work; working the entire day till dusk, and then returning the same distance to their wretched comfortless homes, and half-starved fa milies, suffering such fearful toil for 9d. or 10d. a day, whilst meal is sold at 2s. 4d. to 2s. fid. a peck,! Their sufferings beggar all description. Many of.-the men live on turnips in order to leave the scanty supply of meal they can purchase for their children. Wives starve themselves to feed their husbands to enable them to work, and Iknow many cases where the nourishment for infant children was dried up from, such self-denial in mothers. Tn•crown all the public works are now stopped. The money presented for at the last sessions all expended, and many persons who were• before able from their weekly earnings to come to me and pay for meal, now come in their last extremity to beg me to save them from. starvation ! Could. I refuse appeals like this, when I know their statements to be true ? Thanks to your kind exertions, I, have been enabled to effect an immense amount of good, and I have done so the more extensively, with the expectation that the ma jority m of those now dependant on e would be taken off my hands last week by the landlord, who- is expending £630 in drainage, but to my surprise I am told not one of them is . to be employed by him. This disappointment has filled me with . dismay, 'as you may well suppose our funds are almost exhausted, though I have made every exertion in. spy power to husband my resources, but despite all economy of management another week will nearly finish our supply of meal, on which I ex pended all the funds remaining. My private means, on which my family are depending for months to Come are almost swallowed up in the same vortex,—and after all, if my poor people are now, to starve they might as well have done so at the onset: I have given no meal., since last Friday, but to a few of my former- pensioners who live on the property of a very, wealthy, but most penurious proprietor, who is doing nothing whatever. Retrench- , ment should be commenced, and I sought to throw thee! , on him for support. What has been the result ? They:: have not tasted food since yesterday morning, except the food given here to those members of the family employedt. Now I must give them meal to-night or they must starvcr Such is the way I am led to keep up so large a number,-, My mind and body, are almost worn out. I know not where to turn, and, the very fact of these persons being hitherto employed by me. shuts them out from o ther , / sources. ffelt called upon to state to you simply and truly tho present state and prospects.of our famishing people. Faithfully yours, C. MAGINNIS. Mr. Groves, Rumford-place, will, we understand, gladly receive any contributions for Mr. Maginnis.
