Lord JOHN RUSSELL was of opinion that the house should go into committee without further delay. He took it for granted that the principle of the bill was decided, and therefore its details and alterations would be best dis cussed with the speaker in the chair. Mr. BRIGHT complained that the noble lord, as Fi proceed thus far without fully stating what his decided opinion on the subject was. The noble lord, however, remained quiet, which he (Mr. Bright) much regretted ; it was only due to the house and the country to know the yeasons which actuated the noble lord in the course he Vas pursuing. Lord Joux RUSSELL felt bound to say he could not see him as to his conduct in reference to the measure. (Hear, bear.) He thought it right, when he came into office, to leave the subject an open one, to be decided ti‘.7 ti hrit§e. cabinet. He thought by so doing the bill would be bet ter and more fully investigated and discussed. He did not see what objection there could be to limit the hours zf labour to eleven. Whether they could with safety be reduced to ten was an important question, and would re- quire full consideration of the committee.' Messrs. Mar elan, of Leeds, had reduced the hours of labour in their 'extensive factories to eleven ; and it had been found to act advantageously and satisfactorily. Ile (Lord John Russell), however, had never contended that the same rice of wages would be given to operatives if they worked ten, eleven, or twelve hours a day ; he thought that could not and would not be the case. If, however, there was a reduction of the hours of labour, the master would obtain a saving in lessening the expense of wear and tear of ma- one, and after the best consideraiion he could give it he was of opinion it would be better and wiser to limit the hours of labour to eleven, and not, as this bill proposed, to reduce them to ten hours a day. (Hear, hear.) In committee he should vote for an eleven hours clause, which he thought preferable to ten hours. The SPEAKER having left the chair, the house resolved i;bour to it) after the o:piratiOn of one year Lord MORPETH could - not consent to limit the hours of labour more than one hour a day, and if that were not consented to, he should move that the clause be expunged from the bill. Some discussion ensued, after which the house divided, when there appeared— For the 10 hours' clause 144 Again A it Majority the res The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the house ..... resumed amidst continued cheering. le report wa! ordered house adjourned Emprrial ..11ONDA Irel s, though the s emigration might be nt, with great the evils appre- Lord PALMER - STON d declared the x land ; and afte &GH (who vindica g replied, and the house di' ;h government reland for the part, 11 SMITH Majority agai notion of Mr. ORAISLI: a, when the num- a Committee it the removal was appointed to inquire into the nect.,_ of Smithfield Market.

RUSSELL stated, for the satisfaction of his own feelings, that he had observed with the greatest pleasure the noble and munifi cent subscriptions which were now raising in the United States of America for the relief of the distress now pre vailing in Ireland. He thought it not unworthy of a British subject to state that he 'was extremely gratified that their charitable exertions proved that the people of the United States were not unmindful of our common In the committee considerable wrangling took place on certain amendments proposed on the first and second clauses, but not pressed by their movers to a division.

A division took place, when the numbers were— For Mr. Shaw's amendment Against it Majority against it The clause, therefore, stands part of the bill.

DISCOVERY OF A CONSPIRACY AT CONSTANTINOPLE. —A postcript to our Constantinople correspondent's let ter, dated Feb. 27, announces that a conspiracy had just been discovered, in which Hafiz Pacha, late Minister of Justice, and a great many influential pachas, were com promised. Numerous arrests had been made, but no par- iiculars had got wind. Great excitement pervaded all classes.—Morning Herald. A correspondent of a London paper, describing the recent Roman carnival, says that the English have generally distinguished themselves in the warof sugar-plums ; but that none rivalled a peer, who stood on a balcony and scattered his comfits till they lay ankle-deep in the street. He dis dained to retreat when a lemon struck his face, and only requested the police to prevent the use of such " illegal' PLENTY OF FOOD IN AMERICA.—We have been favoured with the following extract from a letter, dated Baltimore, 23d February, 1847 :—" We regret to hear of the scarcity of food in Europe ; here there is a great superabundance, and though vast amounts have been sent forward, the granaries of the great west are as yet comparatively un touched. The canals will soon be open, and great amounts will then be sent to the seaboard." RUMOURED MASSACRE IN RUSSIA.—The Constitu tional contains an account of a disturbance, which was said to have broken out at Mohilef, in White Russia. The disorder commenced at a banquet given by the offi cers of a Russian regiment, at which some seditious toasts were given, for which several officers have been reduced to the ranks. A rising of the peasantry on several estates followed, accompanied by the plunder of a number of houses and some loss of life. The troops from a neigh bouring town were called in, and put down the distur bances. IMPORTANT CONVENTION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE BANK OF FBA NC E.—The Moiziteur Parisiek of Wednes day evening contains the following article :—" An arrange ments has been concluded by the Bank of France for the disposal of a portion of the government stock of which it is proprietor. On the 27th of February last the Emperor of Russia gave, through Count Nesselrode, orders to M. Kis3eleff, his Charge d'Affairs in France, to present him self to the minister for foreign affairs (M. -Guissot) to form him that the Russian government was ready to pur chase the French government stock of which it wished to dispose at the medium price of the day (March 11 inst.) to the extent of 50,000,000 f. (X 2,000,000 sterling.) This sum will be placed in cash at St. Petersburg at the dispo sal of the Bank of France. GERMANY.—The following account is given as a proof of the misery occasioned by scarcity of food in Hungary : acts of horror have been committed such as are not to be surpassed in accounts of cities famished by a long seige. A workman at Pesth, being no longer able to provide for his numerous family, walked with two of his children to the banks of the Danube, and threw the youngest into the stream ; but his anguish at seeing it struggle for its life in the waters, impelled him to jump in to endeavour to save it. The child that was left on the bank uttered cries of distress, and said that he would not ask again for bread if they would but save his father. The man was saved, but AMERICAN RELIEF OF IRISH FAMINE. — The Irish lief Fund is swelling up. New York has contributed nearly 40,000 dollars in all, and the same energetic move ment is going forward in Boston, Albany, Utica, Phila delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati, New Or leans, &c. It is impossible for us to give every instance of individual charity in the various cities.

We hope that the in jury is not of an extensive nature, as we have seen some beautiful and luxuriant fields in the neighbourhood.

The rent for the week amounted to £27 4s. 9d. CATTLE EXPORTS.—A most remarkable falling off has taken place in the export of cattle, pigs, &c., from this country to England, within a short time back. During the last two months the number of pigs shipped in the 'Cork Steam Ship Company's vessels from this port, was exactly ten thousand less than for the corresponding period last year. There has been also a great falling off in the exports of horned cattle and sheep. One of the most extensive firms in this city, engaged in the export cattle trade, has recently given up altogetL its attention to the import grain and :provision trade, for which purpose one of the firm has proceeded to New York, as its representative in that market.—Cork Re- her, anc poser. A man named Donoghue died of starvation some ten or twelve days back at Corran, in the county of Cork, leaving a widow and three children. The poor widow had in a box a small piece of bread, and not more than half a stone of flour for them. On Thursday, the mother and eldest child left the house, and the two other children in charge of it ; one seven, the other four years old. She went to seek a basket of turf, and the child took a vessel to bring home soup. In their absence some person came to the are au worx, and not only took the small piece of bread and trifle of flour he found there, hut, horrid to relate (probably being known to the children, and fearing they might denounce him), he not only cut their throats, but nearly severed their heads from their bodies.

O'BRIEN ' in moving a resolution, attributing the evils of Ireland to the non-residence of a portion of its landowners, and calling for a special assessment for local purposes, upon the estates of such landowners, en tered into a statement amount of the amount of rents withdrawn from the country, which he calculated at £4,000,000, or nearly one-third of the entire rental. His proposal was, that 10 per cent. should be the mi nimum absentee tax, to be expended upon the education of the people, the maintenance of the poor, and other similar purposes, with a power of increasing the impost 'when 10 per cent. was found insufficient. Mr. TASTE seconded the motion, and complained that the great companies of London, had shewn themselves destitute of all charitable feeling. Mr. Alderman HUMPHREY observed that, if notice had been given him of the charge just preferred against the London Companies, he would have been prepared to show bow very , fallacious these charges were -nies large possessions in the north of Ireland, and spent, not one-tenth, but four-fifths of their rents in im proving those estates, and in providing for the moral and religious instruction of the population residing upon them.

In addition to the label showing the destipation of the luggage, a ticket with the initial letter of the passenger's name is also pasted on it, and the luggage is sorted alphabetically, so that when a passenger goes to Paddington, supposing his name is Brown, he has only to go to a bin marked B, and find his luggage at once.

EMIGRATION.—The following vessels are already en- tered at . this port to convey passengers to North America, this spring in consecutive order :—Anna Maria, Dolphin, and Heather Bell, for New York; Jane Black, Primrose, Celeste, Bryan Abbs, and Jessie, for Quebec. Such is the avidity of small farmers, agriculturists, and mechanics, to quit the land of their birth, in consequence of the cala mitous famine, that berths have been secured in all the ships that sail from this port. For Quebec—The Jessie, 700 passengers ; Jane Black, 500 ; Primrose, 350 ; Bryan Abbs, 200: Celeste. 200. For New York—Eleuthera , 190 dolphin, 100 ; Anna Maria, 100.
