In conclusion, he expressed a desire to know what property these gentlemen who represented Ireland pos sessed in the soil of that country, what sums they ex pended on it every year, and also what sums they had contributed to the relief committees in their respective n eighbourhoods ? Mr. LABOUCHERE deprecated a motion and remarks which pointed invidiously at_some of the , most excellent ausentee tax, but I I was no tax. Such an impost as was propo a penalty to enforce the sale of estates; and if such were the object of it, it appeared to him to be very like an act of confiscation. It was inconsistent not only with the political, but also with the social union of the two coun tries, and, moreover, it was inconsistent with every sound n yet known to the world ; fOr never 1,210,780 The transactions on 597,437 816,502 gt;t permit ; but it native of one province under its rule should not hold a extensive estate in After a few observations from Sir A. BROOKE, Mr. BELLEW declared his intention of opposing the solution, because he did not conceive it likely that a tax absenteeism would regenerate Ireland. Mr. J. O'CONNELL talked of the English government systematically draining t benefit of England ; and aft( ,e resources of Ireland for the a, conversation, in which I Lord CASTLEREAGH (who vindicated t Earl GREY agreed in the observ'ations of Lord Stanley, nagement of their estates by the English companies), but said the American Government had not imposed any Colonel RAWDON, and others, took part, Mr. SMITH ants, thougi I O'BRIEN re plied, and the house divided, w hen the num- bers wer For the motion Against Majority against On the motion of Mr. ORMSLY GORE, a Committee was appointed to inquire into the necessity for the removal of Smithfield Market. Lord MORPETH intimated that neither the members for the city; nor Government would offer any opposition. The Earl of LINCOLN brought under the consideration of the house the petition of Mr. Mara, who had been Registrar of Friendly Societies in Ireland, and who had been removed from his office under the alleged authority of the Friendly Societies Act, passed last session. He contended that the removal was illegal and impolitic, and concluded by moving for papers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER vindicated the course adopted, and offered no objection to the papers being produced. Mr. HUME then moved for a series of papers connected with the case of the ex-Rajah of Sattara ; hut as some of the papers had been surreptitiously obtained from the lo cal government of India, Sir J. HOBHOUSE resisted the 1. PEEL Dr. BOWRING insisted on their production, observing that the correspondence between the Emperor of Russia, and the late Lord Castlereagh, which must have been ab stracted from some parties before it appeared in The Times, had, nevertheless, been subsequently published by authority of the government. Lord PATINiERSTON drew a wide distinction between abstracted, if there had been any abstraction, from the British government ; they were in possession of other parties, and doubtless had been communicated by those parties to The Times. At any rate there was no objec tion to the publication of them by the government. After some further discussion, Mr. HUME consented to withdraw his motion for the production of the documents which were deemed objectionable; and Sir J. HOBHOUSE then consented to grant him the minutes of any dissent of the members of the Court of Directors, which had been recorded by any member of that . Conrt, and not hitherto published, relating to the case of the Ex Rajah of Sattara from the 30th day of April, 1840, to the present time. f the day were then dispose .e 11UUSe auj HOUSE OF LORDS FRIDAY posed of was of no public interest HOUSE OF COMMONS.-I On the question that the order of the day be read for the house resolving itself into a committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, Mr. P etLIAGIi AN made an explanation in vindica- urtenay. one of low, at Roebuck, on a misconception entertained by the Roman Catholic clergymen who were his informants.

The petitions having been laid on the table, the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMON'S. —MONDAY. The adjourned debate on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill -was resumed. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had received a letter from Lord Monteagle, intimating that the Irish landlords were willing to contribute to any necessary extent to the sup port of the poor in workhouses, as an alternative to giv ing out-door relief. The House then went into committee, pro forma, and - the bill was ordered to be re-committed on Friday next. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY Lord STANLEY presented a petition from certain share holders of the Birmingham and Oxford Company, in re ference to the motion of Lord Lyndhurst for a Committee prayed that the whole matter might be allowed to stand over until the bill to which he had alluded came before their lordships, and if that were not acceded to, that the inquiry granted might be extended over the whole trans action. He added that nobody could deny the right of the shareholders of one company to buy the shares of an- other : and unless they did so, how could they interfere in this matter of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, whose shareholders had associated their interests rather with the North-Western than with the Great Western Company ? Besides, the inquiry was unnecessary, for two reasons. The whole transaction would be investi gated, both in a court of equity, and in the House of Com mons. In a court of equity, to ascertain whether the bar gain of the. Birmingham and Oxford directors was not void and irregular ab initio, inasmuch as the power to sell contemplated only one line, while they had sold two ; and in the House of Commons, because the directors them selves, doubting the legality of their proceedir about to apply against the wishes of about fou gs, we the shareholders, for an act to ratify their bargain. Lord LYN DU URST pressed the motion for a committee on the ground that the shares had beenbought up by the the act passed by their lordships last year to provide communication with Birmingham independent of ti North-Western HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsDA In answer to Lord G. Bentinck, Viscount PALMERSTON said that her Majesty's government had not had an offl cial in timation of any duty having been imposed upon emigrants by any of the State Legislatures in America. All that was known in reference to the subject was, that it had _ _ been under cons The adjourned debate on Cracow was then resumed, but terminated in the withdrawal of the resolutions, Mr. HUME remarking that his triumph was already complete, since, with the exception of Lord G. Bentinck and Mr. D'lsraeli, the whole house reprobated the conduct of the Three Powers. Both throughout the country and in the house there was, with the exceptions just named, but one _ _ sentiment of reprobation entertamec derstand the motives which actuated those two honoura ble gentlemen, unless they were determined to pay a visit to the continent on the rising of parliament, and were pre paring for themselves a good reception in Vienna and St. could n Petersburg. The other business was unimportant HOUSE OF COMMONS WEDNESDAY girder of the day was read for going into committee on the measure Mr. DENISTOUN said he could not consent to the house going into committee without stating his objections to the measure, which having done, he moved that the committee fiordJonN 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, 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 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 _reasons which actuated the noble lord in the course he was pursuing. Lord Joi , : RUSSELL 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. (Hear, leave the subject an open one, to be decided by the house cabinet. 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 of 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 shall, 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 atter the best consideration he could give it ne was of opinion it would be better and wiser to limit the Lours 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 agreed to, clause labour to 10 after the expiration of one yea! 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. hours o Some discussion ensued, after which the house divided, lien there a Against it Majority of the division was received with loud cheer, resumed amidst continued cheering orderer The report wa up on house adjournec HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tuunspay The Marc UlB of LONDONDERRY stated that the sub- ommittee of subscribers to the Wellington Statue were letermined, 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 onus of its dis- poal on the Government. The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition prayi for a repeal of the law prohibiting marriage with a cea , ed'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.—ThunspAy 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. 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 preferree - London Companies, he would have been pre, how very fallacio us th ese c h arges 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 Irish Society, of which he was chairman, had a rental of £lO,OOO a year in the county of Londonderry, and spent £7, 000 a year in supporti ng 60 schools, and in the building or repairing of churches and chapels for the inhabitants. He belonged to a company which had £7,000 a year in the neighbourhood of Coleraine ; and in the last ten years all the money which had been received it ',min,' not exceed £3,000, the rest having against t nred to show been spent in the improvement of their estates in Ire': land. If a tax of £lO or £2O per cent. were imposed on thoseicompanies as absentee proprietors, they would pay that tax, and draw all the rest of their income to Lou- THE 'LIVERPOOL STANDARD. maimimaxer arms, to vindicate the national honour, and drive away the invaders.

An outpost of American volunteer cavalry had been s-tr prised and captured in advance of Saltillo, and an officer of the regular army (Lieut.

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. Patterson, commanding at Tampico, despatched a 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.

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 the child he had thrown in was drowned.

ARRIVAL OF GRAIN AT CORK.—The arrivals of grain laden vessels—maize being the principal import—at this 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 number of prisoners is principally, owing to the larges being generally for larceny existing distress, ti andsheep-stealing The Tipperary Vindicator 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 interfere!' GOOD - 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. The pea.antry, to mark their gratitude for this act of season able thoughtfulness on the part of the Messrs. Keating, lit bonfires on Sunday night last, at Fordstown, where Mr. J. Keating holds a farm.—Meath Herald. • RENTAL OF IRELAND.—A return of the aggregate net rental of all Ireland as assessed to the poor-rate of the several unions, has been made by the Irish poor-law com missioners, in obedience to an order of the House of Commons. According to this return, the aggregate net annual value of all Ireland, as assessed for the poor-rate, is £33,187,421 6s. Bd. ARRIVALS OF CORN AT CORlC.—There have been fur ther very extensive arrivals of bread-stuffs at Cork, chiefly Indian corn, from New York, Vienna, Lisbon, Oporto, Genoa, and Leghorn.

MULLINGAII EMIGRATION FROM WATERFORD.—We are informed, on the authority of a highly respectable gentleman from the county of Waterford, that upwards of two hundred tenants•of the Duke of Devonshire, in that county, have tendered their leases, being . resolved to emigrate this spring to America. They are solvent and substantial farmers, and, therefore, of the class which Ireland can least afford to lose, and furnish, we fear, an index to those whose ran rter. 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." 46 p, PRIESTLY ..YRANNY.''-A correspondent of the Kerry Post says—" The man (Nahony), who was so violently used by the Rev. George O'Sullivan, P.P., as described in your paper of Saturday last has carried his complaint before Bishop Hegan. He has served three processes on his .reverence for the amount of his loan ; and has summoned him and his assistants for the assault and forcible entry. If the priest does not succeed in hav ing the matter compromised, there will be a nice expose of his violent and tyrannical conduct ; not to say a word about the worst, the money part of the transaction." AWFUL STATE OF DESTITUTION IN CASTLEREA.—A correspondent in Castlerea states—" That the number of deaths not only in the town, but for miles around, and also in the workhouse, is truly appalling. The deaths in the house, for the last week, exceed 50 ! The poor people - _ - - for the I are near ,- d Fore t}-d, __.y newt be ley obtain, or probably seek, au mission.

THE 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 st. imulate the American farmers to sow more largely still. We hope that the in jury is not of an extensive nature, as we have seen sonic beautiful and luxuriant fields in the neighbourhood. To the farmer and cottier we say, sow as great breadth. of turnips as you possibly can. Several fields about this town are already let in conacre for that purpose. If this advice be followed. it will be a preventative against the future scarcity.—Drogheda Conservative. • REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—There was the usual miserable gathering at Conciliation-hall on Monday. The promised letter of Mr. Daniel O'Connell was not forthcoming, and in its stead was read another interminable epistle from the Kilkenny, who, in reference to the state Ith, assures Mr. Ray that the accounts have for the last four 'clays 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 attenuants counsel ins unmeamte ueparture for the south of Europe, and cheer his family with the hope of his re turn in renewed health before autumn.

During the last two months the number. of pigs shipped in the Cdrk Steam Ship Company's vessels from this port, was exactly ten thousand less than for the co rresppnding . period last year.

A "CROCK" OF GOLD.—This interesting object of the search of all road-makers, foundation-diggers, old men and old women—h aun t ers o f ru i ns an d d reame rs o' , dreams—has been actually realised near Monivea, in th e county of Galway, as we are inf orme d on th e , au th o rity e the Rev.

Whilst some people were era' ployed in making a new road in the neighbourhood u nder the relief act, a crock, containing a considerable nu mber . • of coins—" gold, silver, and brass"—was turned u p 131 one of the men, who helped himself to the gold, di v iding 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 00 with the utmost briskness and alacrity !—Mail. JOBBING ON THE PUBLIC WORKS.—A baronet, the heir apparent of £6 . 000 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 Fairen, government officer, is in pos.. session of the fact that the Board of Works have been charged wages for " horses and carts" 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 Killard, near Kiktish, 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.

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 writing o f M ayo ?I question if even fable has yet imagined a muse, or patron saint, or pen-and-ink spirit, able to gather into a writer's brain all the matter of Mayo from which ideas may be drawn out at the writer's 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 deeper i n the ocean thanfathom 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 kncck upon the rocks until they waste theta away, and again make passages, to the open sea. How narrow aic the t blue ocean from hence to the western horizon, where the great ships of America and of En gland are as small as birds-I:ke smail 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, n long narrow stone abutting out and over the gulf, were the tides hold tumult so far down that y ou 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 ro ck s than one on the west coast of Mayo. But the re i s a fall which is no legend that we must submit to ; a pl u nge which we must make from the montains of Mayo, w ith 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 front . the grand and the beautiful in the inanimat e wor ks o t l nature, to the most degraded and farthest lost of her works—the men made after God's own image.
