Mr. Yardley was occupied for a considerable portion of
the day in hearing summonses against several keep, rs of
lodging-houws in the neighbourhood of B:emery lane,
who bed neglected to comply with the provisions of the
new act for registration and regulation of such places.
Many of the revelations of Inspector It, awn, who had
been appointed to carry out the provisions of the act, were
startling. Insufficient sleeping room, want of retiring
places, filth arid disease, and the grossest commingling of
the sexes, were found to Le the plasma:lug rule. The in-
Spector visited one house in Slater's-court, in the dead of
night, and found in the lodging-room of one of the defen-
dants four beds on the floor and no bedsteads. The first
contained the defendant and his sister, a St MIMI about 30
sears of egg, who said she bad occupied it with her brother
for some tame. Another man wets found with his cousin, in
the absence of his wife, who was gone "hopping."
Mr. Yardley explained the provisions of the act to the
parties brought up, and remanded seserrl cases to give the
: defendants time to comply eith the ~,t. The magistrate
observed that too much haste must lie avoided in the appli•
cation of the act. Many of the poor Irish did not under-
stand the language of the law, awl too literal or ton sudden
application of the stAtute might have the effect of turning
some of them Louseless into the street.

AFFAIRS OF INDIA.—AYA.
The Earl of DERRY' said the uuble earl (Ellenborough)
opposite had • question on the paper which he intended to
put to her Majesty's government on the subject of the war
at Ave. The terms of that notice were prematum' as it re-
lated to what was called the war with Ave." Unfortu-
nately two hostile collisions had taken place, but there was
no attest war between the two countries. There had been
no
declaration of war, and he was not without hope that it
mightlyet be averted, tad, r these circumstances he hoped
that his noble friend would pastrami asking for papers, or
any questions or explanations about what had taken place
until the arrival of the nest mail, which wouldprobably—
simian certainly—put them iu possession of the full details
of the case up to that time, and also the opinion of the
Oovernor.Oencral on the spot.
The Earl of ELLEN DORM:011 .aid it was impissible
not to comply with the request of the noble earl, although
he could not entertain the *AMC hope as the noble earl did,
that there would he no war. lie was anxious to call at.
tention to the ou'neet, not only with regard to what had
passed, but still more as to what was before them. As
however, he was to withdraw his notice, he hoped his noble
friend would allow him to fit the latest day before the de-
parture of ttw next mail, and be would therefore name the
bth of April.
After a discussion, rased by Lord ELLIMIOROC4III, to
to the divided authority exercised over the naval tomes in
the Indian yeas by the governor-general and the commander
of the squadron,
The Earl of ObRBY gave Rotate that on Friday se'cn-

MINCING-LANE.—THIS DAY.
Suout.—The public sales are going off steadily to-day ;
the result of the week shows a fair amount of
business done by the home trade. Occasionally
num have submitted to a shade lower prices for
inferior qualities, but good common descriptions are quoted
the same as last week. The refined market has been very
dull; grocery lumps, 44e. to 48s. ; but low brown descrip-
tions are scarcely saleable at 445.
Correa.—There has been great firmness in this article,
and prices may be quoted 6d. dearer; the favourable result
of the public sales in Holland has given confidence to
holders here. . _ .

Tim.—The result of the sales this week has had a de-
preuing influence on the market, but rather a large business
has been done by private contract since the close of the sale,
and exporters have bought freely.
Rica.—There has been firmness on the part of holders
this week, and the bulk of the public sales has been bought
in to support prices, but sales to any extent could not be
made at Met week's currency.
ISAarrirrar.—The large public sale during the week
have gone of briskly, at prices a shade in favour of the
sellers.

the same as last week. Brandy continues steady.

small ; prices generally have been supported.

some Iresting observations, which we fully approve.
We a e informed that other Chambers of Commerce,
that of In particular, intend to combine their
efforts with those already attempted, to prevent the execu-
tion of a snearnare, which, whatever may be said to the con-
trary. would be now dangerously premature. We do not
precisely know what opinion is entertained in France as to
the importance of that resolution, and the degree of confi-
des°, to be attacked to the promises the Emir might make
in order to obtain his liberty. But there is one thing
certain, namely, that whatever may he the sincerity of the
ex-Emir, and it will be !agreed that, religiously or politi-
cally speaking, it is very doubtful, from the manner in
which he executed the modest conditions of the treaty of
the Tana, and whatever good intentions he may have in
that respect, it does not depend upon him not to be for us,
in Algeria, a cause of disturbance and embarrassment. The
moment he arrives at Mecca we will have every day pious
pilgrims returning from the holy City, circulating, with-
out his participation or knowledge, the most dangerous
reports as to his intentions. Our Arahs. fond of stories and
credulous as they are, will have their eyes incessantly
turned to that aide; and, we repeat it, it would be an
eternal source of false rumours and agitation. Once
more, we trust that the liberation of Abd el-liader will not
take place.

BOROUGH MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Mears. Pattenden and Smith report that a good supply
of new hops have arrived at market, and are selling at the
following prices :—Farnhams, 1004. to 112 s. per cwt.;
country, 90s. to 100 s. ; Mid. and East Kents, SO.. to 1405.;
Weald of Kent., 755. to Sio. ; Sussex, 70s. to 80s. Inferior
and mouldy samples at much less prices. The duty
is backed at 245,000!. and 250,0001., but is gene-
rally thought to be much overrated. Worcester Fair
being on Monday next is expected to settle prices to some
extent. For Sussex and Weald of Kents the quality of tho
uew growth is considered to be Excellent. 1 here is great
inducement for consumers to secure a large stock of the
present growth, besides which money being abundant it
holds out en indueemertt to speculators to purchase hops at
the present low prices.

THE nets OF WRIELIiOTON NOT ♦ WAR lIINISTRR.

No noble lord or any other man that 1 know hoe done
half so much fur the preservation of peace, and, above all,
for the pacification and the maintenance of the honour of
France and for the settlement of all questions in which the
interests of France were involved, as the individu■l who is
addressing your lordships. From the period of the year
1814 clown to the last month of my remaining in the service
of my king, I did everything in my power for the strength-
ening and preservation of the re•ee of Europe, and more
particularly for the maintaining and keering up the best
understanding between England and France. I repeat
that I have done more than any one els" to place France in
the situation in which she ought to be in the councils of
' Europe, from • firm conviction—which I feel now as
lstrongly never I did—that if France is not, then there is
no neceuity for the preservation of the peace of Europe, or
for • sound decision on any subject of general policy. lam
sure that the noble viscount would find, if he would take
the trouble to search the archives of the government,
pawn written by me shortly before I went out of Ake is
1880 that would fully justify the assertion which I have
just made. lam sure that those who were in office with
me were as anxious for the preservation of the peace of
Europe as any politicians, be they liberals or otherwise.
They were so anxious fur the preservation of a good uoder-
standing between France and this country, and that France
should be on a perfectly good understanding with all the
powers of Europe, and that she should take the station
which becomes her in the rank of nations, and which her
power, her wealth, and her famines entitle her to.—

the public greatly for his safety, on account of his advanced
erre. Sir Amity Cooper and Dr. Hume were down at
Weimer with him for a week, at the end of which time he
recovered, greatly to the joy of the whole nation. It timed
out that the Duke had brought on the attach, adopting, to
ewe himself of a slight illness, a mode of treatment which
wield he the most wise in a man of 25, but wee most dan-

CI A 144 or comrorso 110VSZIR

Several claims were made by compouoil householders,
Mlle claimed to be on the register, under the 2 er.d 3 Wm.
IV , and 11 end 12 net., e.
Mr. James appeared in support of these claims; hut it
appeared that. while they claimed to be placed on the regis-
ter. ther had omitted to claim to be rated.
'lto liarr:ster said the act4quoted were paned for the
special pure,se of giving the right to cote to compound
householder-, hut it was required that certain formalities
should he goi.e thr:ugh. In this instance the provisions of
the art had not been complied with. Ile therefore felt
bound to decide against the claims. By the neat registra-
tion tke claimants would have an opportunity of complying
with the requirenteuts of the act.
Claim di allowed accordingly.
Clement Fish, of Derret.street, Bride-street, claimed to
be plac:11 on the register, from which:he had been'uniitted,in
oonseque nee of the collector of the assessed taxes having re-
tarnea him as a defaulter.
Mr. li:cholson, the collector, stated that he hod applied
in April last for the rates duo ,t 4 Mr. Fysh up to January 5.
Ile only received his books in arch, and before that time
it was not is his power to receive the hues.
Mr. Fish, on being applied to, stated as his reason for
not paying his intention of appealing against the use's-
meat, which he did, and it wee reduced from 261. to 2W.
lie did not pay his taxes till August 4.
A Ratepayer, who was in the court, stated that in the
city of Westminster 3,000 names had been omitted upon
somewhat similar grounds.
The Barrister expressed a doubt upon this point. The
set states that no ono shall be placed upon the register
except the rates and taxes due on the sth January were
paid. Could a thing be payable when there wee no one
to receive the payment? It had been shown in this
Cale that there was no one to receive the tax
until the 25th Idareh. Under the circumstances be
should postpone his decision until the 24th instant.
The Buehler alluded to the cost of making out and print-
ing the list of eaters. In some cases it appeared to him to
De exeessive. The parishes of St. George's Bloomsbury and
St. 0.1, s in-the• Fields were charged ltd. each. While for
St. Luke's, which contained thrice the number of voters,
the charge was only 3W. I Is. In the Liberty of the Rolls
the preparing the list cost al., and the printing 41. Ils. Ile
did not pretend to gauge printing bills, hut for one sheet it
appeared to him to be a high charge, sad each expenses
ought to be kept down.
With the execpt•un of the parish of St. Mary's Islington,
there were no contested claims in this borough.

PUBLIC FUNERAL

This morning intelligence was received in London,
which, it may be fairly supported, will settle the question as
to the mode in which the remains of the late Duke of Wel-
lington will be interred. The Wt.; will be removed from
Wilmer Castle to Apiley House to-morrow morning. hints
already been placed in a leaden shell fur that purpose.
Mr. Holland, the undertaker, has received the
necessary directions for the removal of the body, and
intends leaving London this g, in order to carry out his
instructions. The will has been opened, and it has been found
that his grace has ezpressed a wish that his mortal remains
may be disposed of as the severeign may direct, and under
these eke rinstances it is not difficult to suppose what will
be the decision of her Majesty upon the subject. The pub-
lic funeral of the deceased hero will doubtless be conducted
on a scale of great magnificence. It Is supposed that his
Orates remains will be brought from Weimer Castle to
Apsley House by a special tram along the South Eastern
Railway.

WESTMINSTER.

William Bessell, • known thief, and another person (who
having proved an alibi and obtained his discharge, need
not be named,) were charged with stealing a ease of watches
from the shop of Mr. Browne, 48, Sloane street.
At about lo'clock on Monday 30th wt., Miss Anson, shop
woman at Mr. Brown's, was sitting in the parlour when she
heard somebody in the shop. Upon
going there she found
a man, who inquired the price o some Dresden ornaments
in the window, and then left. She returned to the parlour,
and in a few minutes, again hearing a slight noise in the
shop, repaired thither, end found the prisoner licssell leav-
ing it. She inquired what he wanted, when he asked if
there had not been a man there about some Dresden orna-
ments. She replied in the affirmative, and Bessell was
walking away, when she discovered that a glue case con-
taining 11 gold watches, which she had seen safe at 1 o'clock,
had been stolen from the shop, and that en alarm bell at
the dour, which indicated the entrants, of any person, had
been silenced by pressing something whist the spring,
when the door was partially opened, which accounted for
the presence of the two men in the shop without her know-
ledge. Beseell, who was told that be must remain there,
and did so, was then given into custody.
Other evidence having been offered, Hessen was committed
for trial. No trace of the watches has been discovered.

PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM

Yesterday, a meeting of the general committee of
the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life
from Shipwreck was held at the onion, in John-street,
Adelphi, Mr. T. Walton in the chair.
Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of
1t ruwi avaing, the :am: haTiLg hem ..a.....
A contribution was promised in aid of a lifeboat to In
placed forthwith at Lyme Regis, to be constructed on the
plan of the several new life-boats recently sent to the coast
of Northumberland, and also towards another, on the suns
plan, to be stationed at Dover.
A letter was read from Lieutenant Ellis, R.N. (member
of committee), stating that the new life-boat for Suutbwold,
built by '
Mr. Beeehing, of Yarmouth, had been placed on
her station and had been lately tried in a gale, and be-
haved well. The boat is of the form usually given to whale
boats. Her length is 38 feet, and the other dimensions
are in proportion. Tho provision for righting the boat, if
upset, is by means of water ballast, an iron keel, and
raised air cases in the head and stern sheets. From the
form given to the boat, she will both pull and sail well in
all weathers. Her cost is about 2801., towards which Sir
E. Gooch, Bart., M.P., and Mies Sheriff, most liberally
contributed each one hundred guineas. The boat is to be
placed under the life-boat regulations of the Shipwreck
Institution, as far u practicable, and is under the care of
an experienced local committee.
A reward of 61. was granted to three pilots of Pill, near
Bristol, who had, by their laudable conduct and persever-
ance, saved the crew of the schooner Primrose, consisting
of six persons, which had sunk in the Bristol Channel dur-
ing the terrific storm on the 11th ult.
A reward also of 21. was voted to the master of the
smack Brisk of Southampton, and ten shillings each to his
crew, who had on the same day saved the lives of three
helpless fishermen. The men were out at sea fishing, near
the Land's End, and were suddenly nvertakeu by a heavy
gale, which completely prevented their return to the shore,
causing them to drift westward in a heavy sea, and leaving
them no other hope ofsaving their lives and boat, than that
, of falling in with some friendly vessel to rescue them from
their perilous situation, the sea having now risen to an
awful height. One or two vessels passed them, and offered
to take them on board, hut objected to tow their boat; this
the poor fellows thankfully refused, preferring, as it ap.
' pears, to perish with their boat rather than pert with her:
' as their whole dependence was in their boat. About 10
' o'clock, when almost despairing of the offer of further suo-
' sour, the smack Brisk came most opportunely to their assist-
' ance, took their boat in tow, and every kindness was shown
to them on board by the master, Mr. Masters, who aafe:y
brought them to Falmouth.
Soule other formal business having been transacted, the
proceedings closed.

MUTING It01:14R11.

The fireman ot theie.que..toiiarTitigdon-Witli...it Ward
handed in a presentment which he said related to a subject
of great importance in the City of London. Tire re sere
several gambling and hurse-race betting houses in ate weird,
and the mischiefs perpetrated by th.tm were really ,lreadful.
Alderman WILSON said the inquest were bon • ' zo pre-
sent the particular houses in which such practices a re en-
couraged. Ile was perfectly aware that ti , were
numbers of houses of the kind nauded to in the 1 .y, and
that servants and boys were frequently ruined by the sys-
tem of affording facilities of betting from the sum at three-
' pence or fourpence, or even lower, to much larger amounts.
' The names of the houses must lee entered in tie resent-
ment, so that a general bill of indictment might in formed,
and so formidable a nuisance might be removed. Eta. com-
plaint afforded a proof of the value of the inquest system.
(Hear, hear.)
The gentlemen of the inquest said their sons and s. rvants
were in imminent danger tram the depraved en-ouragc-
ment given to the vice in such dens cif 'Many.
Alderman Wink: mid he had witnessed matey melan-
choly instances of trial for robbery, to which tle•
tratery were teinnted by the practices of the lemma
deuelunced by the inquest.
A presentment trout the parish of St. Bride Alen com-
plained of swarms of betting-houses, the names at some of
which were inserted in the document, but were rot read
in the court. It was stated that several rehheries had been
recently committed in the parish, and the proves ds hod
been spent in the very houses which the inque.st conned
out.

Alderman WIRE—Tho offence is easily dealt with.
Consult the ward clerk, and let the evidence he K.it up in
such a manner 4111 may supply the City Solicitor with the
materials fur prosecution, and there can be no dosibt as to
the result.

There were several minor subjects of complaint repre-
sent.d to the court, and ull the presentments were r. furred
to the Court of Aldermen.

TO 1111 EDITOR OT THE DAILY NEWS.

SIR,—I see in your paper of yesterday an excellent
suggestion (elm an old passenger by sea, that the captains
of all steam-ships in particular, should be ordered to exercise
their men frequently in loosening and getting ready the
different boats. To this suggestion will you allow me to
add another. That no steam-ship, in particular, should be
allowed to start without each person being assigned to a
certain given boat, to which, in ease of danger, he should
apply; and thus the passengers and crew would be distri-
buted to the several boats—the number of which, of course,
should be provided accordingly. And every passenger, in
particular, should be supplied with some general instruction
fur that purpose. The consequences would be, that in the
hour of real danger every person would know his place, and
the too frequent and lamentable occurrence of too many
getting to the seine boat would be prevented.
1 remain, Sir, yours most respectfully,

stores of entertainment—where the productions of gr at and
original minds, in which gem at thoughts were clothed in
striking peculiarities of style, and standards wen• set up
which have served ever since to guide the jai:lament and
correct the taste. Since then he has been making a •our in
the provinces, gathering laurels as he wee, and a, trust
something more substantial, and producing a renaissakee
of sound literary Unite, in quarters where [emulations of
French romances, and such kindred mental drain drinking,
had long formed thus staple of these who read unytliing be-
sides nen shapers. On last evening he rebuined his
metropolitan labours at the I•larylebone Institu-
tion, and received a most friendly greeting from
a crowded and fashionable audience. As in the bummer
series, he took Swift as his first subject. This mobt interest-
ing lecture was listened to thtoughout with deep attention,
and was frequently applauded.

Thonaru Jenkina was charged with a violent and un-
provoked a,sault upon Fanny Hall, a girl ten years of age.
On Sunday evening complainant was going along Para-
dise-street, near this court, when the prisoner gave her a
blow with a large stick which he had in his hand. She
bled profusely from the forehead, and after tieing taken
home to her mother, she was conveyed to a surgeon, by
whom the wound was dressed. Prisoner, who had been
drinking, but was not intoxicated, was soon afterwards
given into the custody of police-constable 124 1).
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he was
teased by a number of children, and was going to strike
some one whom he believed to be of the party, when the
stick unfortunately fell upon tho complainant's head. Ile
was sorry for what bad happened, and ho hoped that the
magistrate would deal leniently with him.
One of the witnesses who was examined said that the
blow was not at all the effect of accident, and that it was
evidently aimed at the child who was injured.
Mr. Broughton mid it was a most savage and unjustifia•
ble attack, and inflicted a penalty of 50s. ; tu default of
payment, six weeks imprisonment.
