O'CoNNEL to the consequc from the public mshould be carried out to its full extent. He im )red the Government, while there was yet time, to take ?.asures _to stop that frightful annihilation of life, and scenes of violence and confusion in Ireland, nevitably take place if it did promptly inter- fere to prevent them. Mr. S. O'BRIEN enforced this appeal, and expressed his fears that a process of starvation would be the neces sary result, of enforcing_the order issued on Saturday last. Mr. LABOVCIIERE admitted that,'however necessary it might be to reduce the number of labourers employed on the public works, it must be done consistently with the peace and safety of the country. Having explained, as on a former discussion, the principle which the Govern ment had laid down to accomplish that object, he con gratulated the house and the country on the immense quantity of corn and other food which was now pouring into Ireland solely by the means of private enterprise. He had informed the house, on a previous occasion, of the great quantities of corn which had recently been brought into the Cove of Cork, and he had now the satis faction to.'acid that on Monday last there were in the Limerick.. After a few words from Mr. SHAW and Sir G. GREY, T.nrd G. BENTINCR complained in strong terms against the Government for not having supplied seed to the farmers of Ireland. He thought that Mr. Labouchere had but little cause to congratulate himself on the quail ' tity of provisions recently - imported into the Shannon, when he iefleeted upon the hundreds of thousands of persons who had died during his administraion of the affairs of Ireland. Mr. WILLIAMS called upon Irish gentlemen to take a lesson fronl, the people of England. In a small town in South Wales, where great distress existed in consequence of the failure of the usual crops, £3,000 had been sub scribed in one week, by the magistrates and gentry of the locality, for the purchase of food, and an order had been sent to a great mercantile house for 1,000 quarters of corn. Why could not the magistrates and gentry of Ireland make similar exertions to procure prompt and effectual relief for the distressed poor of their several dis tricts ? , t he — the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declare( would take: no further notice of the assertions of Lord G Bentinck, gs they had already been repeatedly refuted He implored tl into a nouse not to allow itselt to be oraggeo mission on the affairs of Ireland when the Poor lill•was the only measure legitimately before it. 1 IL r • After a few remarks from Colonel RAWDON and Major LAYARD, deprecating the remarks of Lord G. Bentinck upon this subject, Lord SA NDON noticed the g,reat difficulty now experienced in removing Irish immigrants back to Ireland, whence they were daily coming in large crowds. Was the Go vernment Erepard to deal with that difficulty in the pre- sent Poor Itefief Bill ? Sir G. GREY observed, that the law with reference to orders for removal ought to be made more efficient, but he did not Think that any provision for rendering it so could be well introduced in the committee on this bill. A vagrancy bill would be introduced for the purpose of amending the existing machinery for removal. A conversation of a very vague and indefinite character then took illace on the subject of a bill for repressing va grancy in Ireland, when Sir G. GREY stated, that 60,000 persons had arrived at Liverpool from Ireland within the present year,Nif whom 20,000 had-come with the intention of emigrating to America. Mr. CARDWELL added, upon the authority of the sti pendiary magistrate at Liverpool, that 2,000 was the average importation of these poor creatures per diem for the preceding three days into that port. Lord J. RUSSELL, after informing the house that the mendicancy and vagrancy bill was already prepared, called upon every gentleman in Ireland to aid her Majesty's Go vernment in maintaining the • public tranquility in that country.. • _ --the-other performers in this dialogue were Mr. SHAW, Mr. GROGAN, Mr. BELLEW, and Mr. D. BROWNE. It was concluded by sir W. JAMES, who expressed his belief that the Go vernment.bad discharged its duty to Ireland conscienci- He mentioned some circums d by Cominander Fishbourne, in his correspond. ence with the Board of Works, to show that in Clare the leo* had,not only refused to ;ow corn steeped in sul- pllal.a but had even refused to give up their lands to their land lords in order that they might be sown for them. The order of the day was then read, and the house re solved itself into committee. In the committee, Mr. HuMI moved to strike out that part of the 11th clause, which increased the numbers of the ex officio guardians in every board of guardians from one-fourth- to one-half of the whole number. His reason for so doing was, that the clause, as it stood, would enable the landlords, who now would not do their duty without coercion, to restrict and impede the relief of the poor, and to tax themselves for that purpose just as little as they pleased. He ' also objected to the clause on the ground, that as there were 2,600 Protestant , and only in on "W 0 war, in MONS 410 Roman Catholic magistrates in the different counties laud, it would give the Protestantguardians a power the Catholic chaplains-and of interfering ,tion of the Catholic children in the work- with the edt W any ins perty ui ct mode e: in•which Mr certain clauses, N , in whic t charges 3COmes EY and !h Sir on bringing up the which Government nis worship of each de lithe pauperi ,hen reported pro and obtained the tat Slew Bru atch from the ain on Monday .t on t that nod to Earl le system of out ; and on the effect of Ireland, and the I the im id also to consider :ising and levyir.

His object was, not to give a monopoly to any party, nor to give the English, Irish, or Scotch distiller an advantage over the colonial distiller, but to apportion equal justice amongst all parties. . . ;XCHEQUER contended HAIsICELLOR C nsorl differP.nti e British distillers were entitled to. Bentinck had overstated his case, and that nund for his own refusal more tlian in justice t 1 Lord Geoi ateinent Mr. BERNAL thought that neither equity nor justice had in this instance governed the treatment of colonial interests.

Mr. DISRAELI was sorry to find that the Government proposed to raise the differential duties on spirits from 6d. to 9d., particularly as it appeared to be almost contrary to the opinion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He could not see how the House could consistently refuse inquiry after having granted the committee on the navi gation laws. - Mr. CARDWELL was opposed to the appointment of a committee, as there were no disputed facts to bc ascertained. Lord JOHN MANNERS thought that common justice called upon them to accede to the reqliest of the British The House then divided, when the numbers were—For the motion, 68; against it, 185 ; majority against the The bill then went through committee, and the House adjourned.

GENERAL DISMISSAL OF LABOURERS.-011 Thursday the check clerks of this county were all summoned in to Mr. Griffith, the inspecting officer, and received instruc tions to reduce the men employed on public works in this county 20 per cent. from Saturday latt; they were parti cularly desired to discharge those having least need of employment and relief. —Armagh Guardian.—We are 'riling to have a sweepinz off of labourers from the public works, and in an truth it is high time that this step should be taken. kis enough to make the heart sick to see fine land lying idle, and the resources which God has given us for help in time of need left untouched and waste. It is not in the immediate vicinity of our town you will witness forcibly this sinful apathy and neglect, but in remote dis tricts, where the land lies in a condition truly sorrowful to look at.—Tipperary Constitution. A JUVENILE MURDERER.—The Cork Examiner says— told us that in the bridewell of that place he was shown the presumed murderer of Glavin's two children, at Cor rin, in the neighbounhood. The culprit is a boy between 11 and 12 years of age. At the time of the killing of the children, one four and the other six years old, there was a cake and some meal in the house which had disappeared on the return of their mother. The boy, arrested on suspicion—extremely strong against him in the place—is a wo-begone, half-starved looking wretch. He remains silent and sullen—hiding the dreadful secret in his own mind. It is supposed he attempted to take away the bread and meal from the cabin ; that the two little crea tures tried to hinder him ; that he beat them savagely, and then in boyish terror of punishment, aggravated Per haps into ferocity by the animal rage of hunger, killed them; by cutting their throats across, as they were found. If human beings are treated like brutes, they will act like them. Our feelings on this occasion stiouia those of horror than of the deepest compassion."

Mr. Thurlow, on the contrary, thought he was only justly entitled to the annual interest of the money he received, and that the principal belonged to the endowment of the rectory, and therefore he acted on his convictions and funded the money, which sum by his will is left to his successors in the rectory for ever.— Newcastle Journal. INCUMBENCIES.—An important cause was tried re cently before Mr. Baron Parke, at the Lincolnshire Assizes, whereby the plaintiff, the Rev. John Thomas Huntley, who was resident incumbent of the parish of sued the executors of h : nedecessOr in th incumbency for dilipidations and waste. The damages were laid at £459 125., and the defendants had paid £2OO into court, to cover dilipidations, but denied their liability as to waste. Mr. Whitehurst, in stating the case, re marked that— " By the law of this country, presentations cannot be sold, though they may be given away ; and when a clergy man is appointed to a living, he comes into the receipt of the profits of the glebe land, the tithes, and all other profits, and takes them to his own use. But at the same time, having only a life interest, certain burthens cast upon him. The law says he shall keep in repair all the buildings and fences that are on his living—that he shall not pull down or destroy them—or that if he does pull down or suffer dilipidations, he shall restore them to their original state at his own cost. This is no hardship in an incumbent, because his living is given to him, and he gets all the profit; he cannot therefore justly complain about being compelled to keep up the living, for he need not ac cept a living unless he likes. If an incumbent was not compelled to keep up a,living ' it would in time become worth nothing, because each successor would naturally get out of it all he could, and expend nothing upon it. The law therefore said that an incumbent shall leave the buildings and premises in as good a state at his death as upon his entering. The main question which would arise in this'cause, would be as to the extent to which an in cumbent was liable for what was called active waste. He apprehended that not only was an incumbent bound to keep the buildings in repair, and renew them when they required renewal, but that he must do nothing to destroy the substance of the benefice. He could not dig away the soil, otherwise his remote successors, by one digging away a portion, and another a portion, might be deprived of the whole. Thus. one might begin to dig a gravel pit in a glebe of ten acres, and others might follow it up till all the soil was removed ; and thus the land which was destined for growing crops of corn for the benefit of the living, would be lost." chalk from a d o o a f lk gr p a l y t e ;l andre moved The question as to dilapidations was merely as to their extent, on which the surveyors on each side differed.

Baron Parke, in sending the case to the jury, said, with regard to the dilapidations to. the buildings, it was clear the sum paid into court was sufficient to pay . all legal demands.

All the churches were open for Divine service, and the forms of prayer were read therein, The catholic chapels, many hIANCHESTIR• - d dissenting places of worship, and the Jews' synagoole, were also open, and in the synagogue a printed Hebrew form of prayer, prepared for the occasion by the chief rabbi, (with English translation,) was used. The Exchange was closed, and the Post Office (for delivery) from ten to five o'clock, and twine3s almost universally suspended. It was doubtless to thousands a day of recreation and en joyment, rather than of fasting and humiliation; for the numbers were very great who made excursions into tbe country, especially to Alderley Edge, Bowdon, and other favourite places of resort. We understand that tb h o o r se mand for horses was so grea t, th at scarcely a saddle was to be got on hire, unless ordered tw o day s previously., The public parks were most numerously thrm. g ea by bein sitors, and, the day tine, of exer- cises were much in vogue.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The Manchester and Southampton Railway Bill has at last passed Standing Orders. The Newcastle and Carlisle declare a dividend of £2 15s. per £lOO share, and - in the same proportion for the £25 shares, free of income-tax. COCKERMOUTII AND WORKINGTON.--The opening is shortly to take place, as the works are reported to be completed, and are now undergoing consolidation. The Electric Telegraph Company have recently ob tained ledve to lay down their wires through the city, and thus connect every telegraph in town and country, so that Liverpool, Manchester, York, &c., will be placed in in stantaneous communion. The directors of the East Lancashire Railway offer a premium of £lOO for the best, and £5O for the second best plan and design of the building necessary for the making and repairing of their locomotive engines and carriages. The new railway bridge over the Susquehanna, at Har risburg, United States, is about 4000 feet long, and con sists of 23 arches, averaging 173 feet each, and two arched viaducts, one 53 feet, the other 84 feet long. Th e entire cost is said to be short of 100,000 dollars. BLACKBURN, CLITHEROE AND NORTH IArEsTO I4 RAILWAY.—We are glad to see the spirited manner 10 which different cuttings between here and Chatbute are commenced. Already the temporary rails for a short distance are laid down, and the carriages are now busily employed in conveying soil along the line for the purpose of embanking in the low grounds.—Blackburn Standard. BLACKBURN, DARWEN AND BOLTON RAILWAY. — PROGRESS OF THE WORKS.—There are now upwards of 2500 men employed in this important line of railway, and in a short time the number will be nearly doubled, as the line is to be opened throughout to Bolton, if possible, early in January next, and to Darwen in June next.— Ibid. _ -- FATAL RAILWAYAcCIDENTS.—On Saturday afternoon, as the workmen were undermining the earth in the deep cutting on the railway near the Burnley Barracks, one of them was burried beneath a quantity of the materials which came down sooner than was expected, and on being taken out was found to be quite dead. He was a stranger on the line, and had only been set to work that morning. OLDHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY.—The formation of the Oldham Extension Railway, from the present station, near Lyon Mill, to Greenacres Moor, is proceeding with great rapidity. The two tunnels, each a quarter ofa mile in length, are rapidly approaching completion, and are expected' to be entirely finished in the course of about two months. The excavations and embankments, near the gas-works and Rhodes Bank, are being actively pro ceeded with, and the building of the station' t Greenacres Moor is to be shortly commenced. LIVERPOOL AND BURY •RAILWAY.--011 Tuesday last, a portion of the viaduct in the course of erection for this railway gave way. As it has mostly been persevered in through the winter, the weather, we presume, must have been most unfavourable for the erection of this work. We feel some degree of regret that this should happen at a time when this fine line of railway was progressing so. favourably. We learn, however, that the engineer-in chief, Mr. Thomson, has examined the arch, and from the material being mostly entire, and very slightly damaged, the accident, although apparently of a serious character, from its prominent situation, is by no means so considered._ The estimated cost for reconstruction will be only about £2500. Mr. M'Cormack is making immediate arrange ments for its re-erection, and from his well-known and established character, as an enterprising contractor, we have no doubt, with the additional advantage of favourable weather, we shall soon see the work in a permanent state. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND . RAILWAYS. —During the last few days the town and neighbourhood of Rugby have been thrown into a state of considerable excitement, in consequence of the discovery of two extensive robberies of prints, cottons, &c., on some trucks standing upon the above-named lines ; bales of goods having been taken out of each, after which the bales were cut open, and the goods scattered abou icion falling upon the porters in the employ of the rail ivay company, they were all .(about thirty in number) placed under arrest at the station, and not allowed to leave the premises till the whole of their houses had been 1.
