After the: presentation of a large number of petitions in a __ . far ay ...aa •, J. lUltIC:11 a t en II ourb ractory 11 , 111, tnc •rder of the day was read for going into committee on the measure. Mr. DENISTOUN said he could not consent to the house going into measure be postponed until after Easter. Lord Jonx 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 First Minister of the Crown, had allowed this important bill to proceed thus far without fully stating what his decided remained quiet, which he (Mr. Bright) much 'regretted it was only due to the house and the country to know the h actuated the noble lord in the course he reasons was pursuing Lord Jonii itussELL felt bound to say he could not see what right the hon. member for Durham had to lecture him as to his conduct in reference to the measure s (Hear, hear.) He thought it right, when he came into office, to leave the subject an open one, to be decided by the house, and not to be made a question for the consideration of the cabinet. He thought by so doing the bill would be bet- not see what objection there could be to limit the hou ley coul with safety be reduced to ten was an important question, and would re quire full consideration of the committee. Messrs. Mar ahall, of Leeds, had reduced the hours of labour in their extensive -factories to eleven • and it had been found to act advantageously and satisfactorily. He (Lord John Russell), however, had never contended that the same price 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 chinery. The question, however, was a most important one, and after the best consideration he could give it he was of opinion it would be better and wiser to limit the tours 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. vacsuoc a I.:tying UCLA agreed to, clause 2 was read, which limits the hours of labour to 10 after the expiration 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 fonsented to, he should move that the clause be expunged from the bill. Some discussion ensued, after which the house divided when there appeared— _ _ Against it Fours' clause Majority the result of the division was received with loud cheers. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the house resumed amidst continued cheering. The report was ordered to be brought up on the 21st of April and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY The Marquis of LONDONDERRY stated tha ;ommittee of subscribers to the Wellington statue were ietermined, if compelled to remove that work of art from its present position, solely to place it on the ground at the bottom of the arch, and then to leave the mius of its dis posal on the Government. The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition praying for a repeal of the law prohibiting marriage with a de ceased's wife's sister. Lord CAMPBELL declared his intention of opposing the petition. Several bills received the Royal assent, and their Lord ships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. W. S. '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. TAITE seconded the motion, and complained that the great companies of London, had shewn themselves Llestitute of all charitable feeling. _ _ Mr. AliderlanThuniin - nEy observed that, if notice had • an Lim talargu Juan FA _ vaav - London Comp an i es , h e wou ld h ave been prepared to show how very fallacious these charges were. Those compa nies had 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.

The sales since then have been of the most moderate description, and early in the week were made at a decline of 50 cents per barrel on prices previously current, but as the news became more fully developed, holders became firmer, and within the last few days prices have taken an upward movement. On Monday afternoon a few hundred bbls. were sold at SI 75, being the lowest point at which sales were made: To-day there was a sale of 400 bbls. mixed brands at .S 6, which may be cong, deied about the fair market rate for this descri tion.

It is commonly rumoured in Madrid that the Queen of Spain and her husband continue to evince the greatest re pugnance for each other, and that her Majesty is resolved upon a separation.

On the following day an immense number of monstrous icebergs were seen. The weather throughout the passage was most tempestuous ; but the arrival of the Cambria in so crippled a state, and so short a period after due, speaks volumes in praise of the noble line to which she belongs.

By arrivals at New'Orfeans, we have Tampico dates to the Bth instant, Brazos to the 6th instant, Matamoras to the sth, Carmargo and Vera Cruz dates to the 2d instant, the city of Mexico to the 29th ult. A detachment, composed of eighty Kentucky and Ar kansas cavalry, was cut off when thirty miles beyond Sal tillo, by General Minor:. They formed an outpost, and were surprised and taken prisoners without resistance. Major Borland, C. M. Clay, and Major Gaines were captured. . A transport, also, with a regiment of Mississippi volun teers, under command of Col. De Rutsey, was wrecked off the coast of Mexico, near Tampico. The survivors of the regiment—the greater part, as is hoped—on reaching the land, were soon attacked by a superior Mexican force; and at the last accounts the result of the contest was unknown. On hearing the particulars of the shipwreck, Gen. Patter ling Tampico, despatched a atterson, co mmanc- at brigade to extricate this regiment. In the interior, a portion of Gen. Kearney's command, probably the regiment of Missouri volunteers, had seized the Passo del Norte after a severe conflict—this opens to the city of Chihuahua. The dates from Vera Cruz are to the 2nd inst., when all efforts were making to be in condition to resist the ap prehended attack. From San Luis de Potosi, the dates are to the 25th inst., when Santa Anna was still there, and i Vera Cruz accounts of 2nd inst. represent that he was to march thence in a few days towards Tula.

The effect of the extraordinary prices which are ob tained in Europe for all articles of food, and of the large supplies which we are able to furnish, is to enhance all property in this country, and to impart a general sense of ease and abundance. But for the expense of the Mexi can war, and the waste—for in an economical sense, all monies spent in war are wasted—consequent upon it — our cup would be full to overflowing. It is under a deep sense that our prosperity is due in part to the calamities of Europe, that such general and liberal efforts are mak ing towards relieving, as far as we may, the distresses of Ireland and Scotland. The sum of contributions is daily augmenting, and everywhere on the sea-board and in the interior the same spirit prevails. Among tilt results to which Europe, not less than right.lfeeling Americans look with confidence, as likely to flow from this uncommon share of prosperity—is that of hastening resumption by the repudiating States.

ARRIVAL OF GRAIN AT CORK.—The arrivals of grain laden vessels—maize being the principal import—at this port during the last few days, have been as follows :—On the 11th, 7 vessels ; 12th, 8 ditto ; 13th, 9 ditto ; 14th, 5 ditto. In addition to these, our Cove correspondent announces at least twenty others.—Cork Examiner. The Cork Examiner says :—" There are nearly 1,000 prisoners in the county gaol ; and of these about nine tenths are in fever—the ' famine fever.' The extraor dinary number. of prisoners is principally owing to the existing distress, the charges being generally for larceny and sheep-stealing." . The *perary Vmdtcator says :—" The chapel gates in many parishes are posted each Sunday with notices from persons desirous of disposing of their small farms, and of quitting them on any terms that may be offered. Whilst this is the case, the land is idle ; no effort is made to prepare it for the spring crops ; the landlords, in the majority of cases, either will not or cannot interfer6." Goon EXAMPLE.-We understand that the Messrs. Keating, of Sylvanpark and Cabra, have raised the rate of wages to their labourers from 10d to 13d per day.

Cork Reporter. A JUST ACKNOWLEDGMENT.—At the assizes for the county of Donegal, just terminated at Lifford, the grand jury entered the following resolution in their order book : —" Resolved,—That the grand jury of the county of Do negal, assembled at the Spring Assizes, 1847, cannot se parate without expressing their grateful sense of the sym pathy so liberally displayed by the people of England towards the distressed state of this country, and stating their conviction, that without reference to country, dis tress was never' proved to exist that England did not hasten to its relief." PLENTY or 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."

Tu - n EARLY WHEAT.—We regret to say that a portion of the early wheat crop has been destroyed by the grub, and that in several instances in Louth and Meath farmers are ploughing their land again for the reception of another crop. This news will tend to stimulate the American farmers to sow more largely still. We hope that the in jury is not of an extensive nature, as we have seen some. beautiful and luxuriant fields in the neighbourhood. To the farmer and cottier we say. sow as great breadth of GERMANY.—The following account is given as a proof of the misery occasioned by scarcity of food in Hungary : ---" The misery which prevails in Hungary is such, that surpassed in accounts of cities famished by a long seine.

The promised letter of Mr. Daniel O'Connell was not forthcoming, and in its stead was read another interminable epistle from the hon. member for Kilkenny, who, in reference to the state of his father's health, assures Mr. Ray that the accounts have for the last four days been of a character greatly to strengthen the hope that a change of climate for a few months will re-invigorate and enable him once more to labour for the country he so dearly loves. His medical attendants counsel his immediate departure for the south of Europe, and cheer his family with the hope of his re turn in renewed health before autumn.

AMERICAN RELIEF OF IRISH FAMINY -The Irish 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 shall endea vour to keep the run of contributions in this city, and eventually we hope to receive from the relief committee full lists of all the donations made in the city and neigh bourhood for Ireland and Scotland. At the city of New ark, New Jersey, a meeting has been held, 1,500 dollars subscribed, and measures adopted to send out a ship laden with grain to the Irish poor. Mr. 11. 11. Grinnel, the shipping merchant, has made arrangements to deliver in Ireland, at his own expense, 1,000 bushels of corn, pre sented by Mr. James "Wadsworth, of Genessee, Livings ton county, New York. A lady in this city has sent 1000 dollars to the relief committee, but she modestly with holds her name. The New York relief ship Victor, new loading at this city; was chartered some time ago, when freights were cheap, by Messrs. Dutilh and Cousineri, who cheerfully transferred their favourable bang lief committee. At Cincinnati 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 altogether, and turned 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 R e - porter.

A " CROCK" OF GOLD.—This interesting object of the' search of all road-makers, .foundation-diggers, old men and old women—haunters of ruins and dreamers of dreams—has been actually realised near Monivea, in the county of Galway, as we are informed on the authority of the Rev. Lowry M'Clintock, secretary of the relief com mittee, of that district. • Whilst some people were em ployed in making a new road in the neighbourhood under the relief act, a crock, containing a considerable number of coins—" gold, silVer, and brass"—was turned up by one of the men, who helped himself to the gold, dividing the meaner coins amongst his friends. The gold coins are guineas of _the reign of George 111., bearing the date 1791, and the number is said to have amounted from fifteen to twenty. It is unnecessary, perhaps, to add, that the public works in that particular district are going on 'with the utmost briskness and alacrity I—Mail. . JOBBING ON THE PUBLIC WORKS.—A baronet, the heir apparent of £6OOO a year, two lawyers, and three doctors, in considerable practice, have made application this week to be placed inspecting officers by the Board of Works. Captain Farren, government officer, is in pos session of the fact that the Board of Works have been charged wages for " horses and colts" in Mayo, that never were engaged on the public works. An investigation is ordered into the conduct. of the check clerks. In one' neighbourhood a check clerk told a man " to drive his horse and cart up and down the road, and he would enter him on the pay sheet as working on the road !"—Limer ick Chronicle. • A gangsman has been dismissed off the public works in the parish of Kinard, near Kilrush, for sending some of the workmen employed by the board, into the garden of a farmer and member of the commit tee, and allowing them to be checked for that day's work and paid by the board, as though they hed been working the entire day under his charge.—Clare Journal. IMPORTATION OF FOOD INTO CORK.—On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, we had the satisfaction of an nouncing the arrival into one harbour of no less than 45 vessels, laden with grain and every description of bread stuffs. We have to-day to point attention to the extra ordinary large imports since our last importation, men tioned in our Cove note. Among them are four cargoes of wheat, two do. of corn, and one of nuts, from Mar seilles. Three cargoes of flour, meal, and Indian corn from New York ; one do. from Philadelphia ; twe do. wheat from Odessa ; one of barley, and one of Indian corn, from Trieste ; one do. beans from Alexandria ; four do. Indian corn from Viana ; two do. do. from Carril; two do. do. from Vigo ; three do. do. from Canimbo ; and one do. do. each from Oporto, San Sebastians Leghorn, Cephalonia, Corfu, Venice, Constantinople, Valencia, Bilboa, and Corunna—making in all thirty-eight cargoeS from Saturday to Monday inclusive. Our Cove corres pondent adds that "several foreign vessels have also ar rived, but from the severity of the gale could not be boarded."—Southern Reporter. CONTRAST BETWEEN THE COUNTRY AND THE POPU LATION OF MAYO.—A correspondent of the Manchester Express, thus describes the scenery and the people of the above unfortunate county;—What muse what inspi ration shall I invoke in w r iti ng o f M ayo ? I question if even fable has yet imagined a. muse, or patron 'saint, or - , d-ink spirit, able to gather into a writer's brain all Mayo from which ideas may be drawn out finger ends. It is at once the most mag nificent and most mean of Irish shires. Its mountains and islands rise out of lakes and bays to the sublimation of altitude ' • the wall-like rocks, founded deepe r i n t h e ocean than fathom line can reach, rise a thousand feet in upright majesty, with mountains one thousand and three hundred feet enthroned above them. In caves beneath those mountains, and in passages open from the top, and so deep that the spiritual daylight hardly finds its way down, the tides of the ocean, as if lost and imprisoned, roll and roar in their prisons, and ceaselessly work at, gnaw at, and knock upon the rocks until they waste them away, and again make passages to the open sea. How narrow sea m s tin t blue ocean from hence to the western horizon, where the great ships of America and of En gland are as small as birds—like small birds on the edges of their nest the setting sun, it is but a narrow border of blue. But heavens, what a depth to look down into that sea, a thousand feet below us ! And to be able to leap into it ! "You cannot gaze a minute, without an awful wish to plunge within it." Look at this pointed rock, a long narrow stone abutting out and over the gulf, were the tides hold tumult so far down that you can hardly see them ; a creature of flesh and blood, body and soul, with hands and feet creeping out on the narrow rock on peni tent knees, to bend his head over the rock, round it, and kiss its farthest point for grace and forgiveness ! Well done, sinner of the strong nerve ! you have done it; you may return and sin again. Your brother and aister, with less iron in them, or less ether, with less sin mayhap, are giddy—going —gone—down —are down. The ocean has more wreck, eternity has more spirits, and the priest more pence. There is a mixture of the savage and the sublime in this legend, which gives a fearful interest to more rocks than one on the west coast of Mayo. But there is a fall which is no legend that we must submit to ; a plunge which we must make from the montains of Mayo, with all, all their grandeur of ocean, of islands, deep bays, high headlands, lakes, waterfalls, fertile meadows, and green ness which knows no withering ; we must plunge from the grand and the beautiful in the inanimate works of nature, to the most degraded and farthest lost of her works—the 'men made after God's own image. There they are; all that remains of them in Mayo, living where the worms live, in holes of the earth ; crawling as the worms crawl ; but dying of shere hunger and helplessness in their clay holes, where even a worm would do something to preserve its own life and provide its hole with health. They move not hand or foot for that purpose. the matter of at the writer', xy last, by Mr. Jos.

WHITEIIAVEN JUNCTION RAILWAY.-011 Thursday last, this important line of railway was opened with great rejoicings all along the line, after which the Earl of Long dale entertained 170 guests to a sumptuous dinner at Whitehaven Castle. There was a grand ball at the Savings' Bank in the evening. The Great Western Railway has made a very good re gulation in respect to passengers' luggage.

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 iu 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—Eleutheria, 190 ; Dolphin, 100; Anna Maria, 100.
