LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Finer o'Cloek.
kr the morning sitting of the House of Commons,
peaterday, after the presentation of numerous peti-
bone in favour of the measure, Mr. FrEttme moved
the second reading of the Factories Bill, the objects
ef which are to omit the hours of labour of persons
between the ages of 13 and 18, and of females above
18, to 83 hours a week, until the let of May,
1348, and after that period to 58 hours—viz., 10 hours
to. the day for five days in the week, and eight on
°lonitays—Mr. Huss felt bound to deprecate legis-
lative interference in matters bearing upon the in-
entry of the country, and especially in the manner
Prepaid by this bill, which, in principle at least, was
loth the same as a regulation to make all persons of
the same-length and breadth, and compel them to
sol!ft, em to one standard, no matter what their re-
Tao powers of industry or skill. The ostensible
Fret Proposed was the welfare of the labonr-
mg classes ; but, attained, the inevitable result
would be to drive capital out of employment, and by
4•6o7ing our manufacturing supremacy, ruin too
pis it was intended to serve. He

received with a friendly disposition for allowances by
the respectable and interested parties present. Doubts
were expressed whether the sisgarestate at Santipore, on
the Hooghly, would yield the sum at which valued,
because being held jointly in proprietorship with
another party there was a probability that the interest
of the house in it might not be realised without dis-
putes and litigation. Messrs. Sam and Co. of Madras
appeared as indebted to the house 23,0001., but this
claim was disputed. and a bill had been filed in India
thereupon, which it was considered would be success- 4,
ful. In result, it was agreed that the concern should i;
be wound up under inspection, and Mr. Dent, of the
firm of Palmer, Mackillop, and Co., Mr. Davis, Mr.
Gouger, and Mr. Bagshaw, consented to act as in-
spectors. Mr. Cowan agreed to give his attention to
the concerns of the house in India. Very gratifying
testimony was borne to the high character and in-
tegrity of Messrs. Phillips during the proceedings, by
several of the creditors. The following is the balance-
sheet.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 3.

The council of Irish members met again to-day,
the corporation of Dublin having given up to them
the chamber in which the town council usually assem-
bles. Mr. H. Grattan was again in the chair. The pro-
ceedings were of course held with closed doors, but I am
able to inform you of the substance of the propositions
agreed upon, and also of those discussed which though
not acceded to yet were not rejected. In the first category
stands a resolution that the government be called upon
to finish the roads undertaken under the Labour-rate
I Act, and now useless, the funds to be obtained from
the unappropriated moneys of the grants to Ireland
made by authority of parliament last year. Also that
government be called upon to employ the people in
constructing the earth-works of railways, and to make
advances to railway companies the construction of
whose works is now in progress.
It was agreed to nem. con. that these propositions
ba communicated to the ministry; and that unless
they should be acceded to, or some others manifestly
more advent igeous proposed by government, an
amendment should be proposed on the address on the
18th inst. Mr. J. O'Connell submitted a proposition
that Ireland should have the advantage of her fair
proportion of the national expenditure upon the
navy, the army, and the other public departments.
Mr. Reynolds submitted a proposition for the assump-
tion of the waste lands by parliament, their sale by
public auction in small parcels, and the encourage-
ment of the location of the people upon them. These
have not yet been agreed upon, nor have the further
propositions that it is the imperative duty of the state
to afford remunerative employment in the develop-
ment of the resources of Ireland, the fisheries, mineral
wealth, &c. It was also resolved to suggest to govcrii-
ment the systematic encouragement of all land improve-
ments. A resolution, calling on government to establish
granaries, was also adopted ; and it was proposed that if
the ministry should not accede to all the recom-
mendations made to it by the council, a systematic
opposition should be offered to all their measures,
whether Irish or otherwise. This, however, was not
acceded to. The council at its rising adjourned to
Friday. To-morrow the Irish Council commences its
session.

The disorganisation of the country proceeds apace.
Tipperary divides the atrocity with other counties.
The last accounts from Roscommon announce the
murder of Major Mahon, a gentleman of large for-
tune, and connected with the first families in Ireland.
The particulars are appended. Unless this terrible
system be checked, the machinery of society cannot
hold much longer together in Ireland.

the landowners a feeling that a railway company wan fair game, and
accordingly extravagaat demands have been given in, which could not
be submitted to. In some instances, where a °tolerate ela.ut wan
made, the matter was simply referred to arbitration, without incur.
ring the expensed leading evidence, and nearly the Pl.Ol claimed was
allowed. A good deal of work has again been done in this immediate
neighbourbad, particularly at the points of crossing the Lochmaten
and Edinburgh rands, and at Noblebill. The moths at the tunnel IMO
going on well, the nature of the ntrats hitherto excavated having been
highly favourable.—Dumfries Courtier.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 13.
The Clyde will be instinct with life on the day that
her Majesty's squadron enters its frith. The Glasgow
papers are filled with advertisements of steamers
which are to sail oat till they meet the Queen, then
form line, sad afterwards tali in with the royal fleet.
A proposal has been made in Glasgow for the in-
stitution of a fund for the purchase of an annuity to
Mr. Sheridan Knowles. No definite method of raising
it has yet been resolved on ; but an amateur theatrical
performance is one of the methods talked of. Mr.
Knowles gave lemma in elocution in Glasgow many
years ago, and has numerous pupils at the bar, in the
pulpit, and in other walks of professional life in
Scotland.

ALLEGED WILDER OP THE EDINBURGH EXECUTIONER.
—Some excitement hes been caused by the rumoured death
by violence a the Edinburgh excouncees : but it has not
yet bees whether or not dissolution was the re-
sult of =turd anew For the last ten or fifteen years few
espied pealhoeste have taken place in Edinhurgh, and on

om* so jaded that a substitute had to be obtained. Latterly
he became much emaciated, and if he met his death in •
brawl, as allegeklittle forte would have been necessary.
To BE SOLD—Bowe' HOUSE.—It is, says the Dumfries
Herald, rather • curious coincidence that the house in which
Burns, the great post of Scotland, lived for many years, and
in which he died, is in the market at the same time that
Shakspeare's house is advertised for sale.
THE MODERN RUINS OP THE MODERN ATHENS —A
new movement is making in Scotland towards a renewal et
the works in imitation of the Athenian Parthenon, on the
Calton-hill of the northern capital. It is now proposed, we
are told, to cut away the church and sepulchre clauses from
the act for its erection ; and to devote the edifice at large to
the purposes of a " Scottish Pantheon, or Gallery of Honour,
(or the reception of monumental busts and statues of great
and distinguished men, whether statesmen, warriors, poets,
men of literature, science, artists, &c., not limited to Soot-
land, or even Great Britain, but open to great men of all
nations." The pediments and metopes, together with the
friezes of the peristyle, are to be decorated with national
sculpture, and the interior with painting illustrative of Scot-
, fish and British achievements, in fresco, encaustic, or oil, so
may be decided upon. A new act le to be applied for, pro-
viding for the establishment of 61. shares lo the amount of
150,000/, instead of 251. shares to the amount of 60,0001.,
formerly proposed. The mere laying of the foundations for
the original plan, and the rearing of the picturesque pillars
which hare so long stood on the hill as at once an ornament
and a rebuke, cost, it is said, no lea a sum than 15,0001.

11.—The directors' report stated the progreer of the railway, under
eery ddoonradng eireumnanons ; bit still the pressure was not re.
moved, and the abettors were uusiale to fulfil the expectations held
out in their lad report. The directors look, however, for the maw
degree of favour from the government that has been extended to the
Great Southern and Wortem, and Waterford end hilliennv
when thee are in a poeition to borrow, by having one-half of their
espital poid up. The engineer's report stated that the works had
been chiefly confined to the Bandon end. The whole of the land. as
eme-half of the line had gees got in, with the exception of those la
the immediate vicinity of the town. The piers end abutment, of the
Chcorynd viaduct are nearly completed, which is one of the beeriest
works on the line. By tbe balance sheet, it appeared that the total of
receipts was 65,3761., and of disbursements, 61,3101., leaving abalone*
of 4,066/. in flavour of the company. A long desultory convention
followed, in which one gratifying fact was elieited, that the English-

non, the celebrated collector and patron of English art, had I
Riven the better and larger portion of his pictures to the
National Gallery. This, if it is true, will make a most im-
portant accession to the gallery, and lay the foundation of
•
series of excellent specimens of the English school. But
this is not the only advantage ; it will force the government
(however unwillingly) to turn she Royal Academy out from
the half of the gallery they are in, for, at present, there is
no room to hang any new pictures of pretensions or sin, and
Mr. Vernon's are, as is well known, both large and important.

TILE MARTLEBONE THEATRE.—Mrs. Warner has
taken the Mary',bone Theatre, and has issued an address, in
which she states truly " that with the great extension of the
metropolis, the two central national theatres have, fur the
present at least, ceased to exist for the purposes of the English
drama ; consequently, it is not improbable that the repre-
sentation of our standard plays, as an habitual recreation of
the people, may for the future be confined to smaller the-
atre', each the centre of a district, which can be reached in a
reasonable time, and without additional expense." She
proposes to offer at the Marylebone Theatre, on each even-
sag, some standard dramatic work, or a revival or novelty
mourned to be worthy the association; exhibited in such
a style of careful attention as shall at least manifest respect
for the author and for the audience. She assures us that
her sompsny will be selected from the best talent which has
not been previously secured by competing establishments
and other promises are given, the strict redemption of which
will ensure her our good wishes. The season is announced
to commence in about a month, with one of Shakspeare's
plays.

COMMERCIAL MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Milf-past Two.—The stock market has lost some-
thing of the encouraging aspect which it presented yesterday,
The fret is that the state and prospects of the corn market
are always sufficiently uncheering to damp the fair spirit of
.pec elation in money values and commodities generally which
may not be connected with the primary and important
yuestion of the supply of food. We have not much doing in
the hauls to-day, and prices, which opened a fraction in ad-
vance of the improvement yesterday, have not been entirely
supported. The market may be expected to remain in an
uncertain Nate until the financial exposition of the Premier
shall have been delivered, as promised, on Monday next.
As that exposition must, or ought to, unfold the whole finun
cial condition of the country, it is looked forward to with

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

Retvaxs RIMPECTING BINOLZT POURBOVBE.—These
were called for by Mr. Ferrairl, and comprise-1. The num-
ber of times and dates thereof, that the Bingley poorhouse, in
the Keighley union, has been visited by the assistant poor-
law commissioners since June 9, 1842 ; by which it appears
that the Keighley union was visited eight time during the
above period, five visits being for the purpose of attending
the board of guardians, and three for inspecting the Bingley
and Keighley workhouses. The last visit to the latter was
on the 24 November, 1846. The assistant-oornmissinners
were Messrs. Mott, Clemente, and Atatin.-2. Numbs': of
inm ites in Bingley workhouse at the following dates:—
June 9, 1842, 55; January 1, 1848, 43; January 1, 1844,
51; January 1, 1845, 42; January 1, 1846, 53; January 1,
1847, 44.-3. Correspondence relating to Bingley workhouse.
This embraces letters from the assistant poor-law commis-
sioners, the board of guardians of the Keighley union, and
the poor-law commissioners; by which it appears that the
Bingley and Keighley workhouses have been grossly mis-
managed, and that they are too email for the accommodation
required. In May, 1846, 69 paupers (some sick), were in
the former, and 59 in the latter. The assistant-commissioner
states so his opinion that Bingley workhouse is only calcu-
lated to contain 45, and Keighley 56. The Somerset House
authorities gave immediate orders that these numbers
should never be exceeded, which the guardians have com-
plied with. This paper is dated Feb. 10, 1847.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

BILL FOR ALTERING THE FILANCIIISL—AIderman
Ht•steaaaT said, that in consequence of his absence from
the court on the last day of meeting, Alderman Copeland
had asked a question relative to the appointment of the
committee to amend the Act of George 1., relative to the
election of aldermen and common councilmen. He regretted
to find that unsatisfactory anewer had been given to that
question, although the court had unanimously agreed to
appoint the committee, and he wished to know whether it
was the intention of the court to carry the motion into
effect. . .

Alderman MOON was anxious to know whether there
was any truth in the statement in some of the newspapers,
with respect to the refusal to allow the remembrancer to
take his seat in the House of Commons. (Laughter.)
Alderman MUMPHIRY: There is not a syllable of truth

RIVER PLATA.

The William Peile, Capt. Sproat, from Monte Video,
arrived at Liverpool yesterday. She left the Cispla-
tine capital on the 16th Dec., but up to that date
nothing of importance had taken place. Rivera had
gone up the Uruguay, with a force of 3000 men. All
was quiet in Monte Video, and trade generally was
dull. The following is from the Monte Video paper
of Dec. 2:

consent of the two provinces in gueetion. 3. In case of any
armed intervention being necessary, General Urquizt to be

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

0 ILBIOUS C. COLIII/BOUX.--OUTLAWIIY •O•INST •
PUBLIC OFTICBR AB/WAIL—MC. Wise mooed for a rule to
show cause why a writ of distringas which bad been obtained
in this are for the purpose of proceeding to outlawry against
the defendant should not be set snide. He applied on an
affidavit which set forth that the defendant filled the office
of consul abroad, and was not absent to avoid hie creditors;
that he had been repeatedly in this country since the debt
had been contracted, attending levees and drawing rooms;
that ho was ready to pay the principal rum, and had been
willing to pay it all along; but that the plaintiff made a
demand of very large arrears of interest There wu, how-
ever, an irregularity in the affidavit. Ti.e defendant was the
only officer in the place of his residence competent to admi-
nister an oath for judicial purposes in this country ; the
affidavit, therefore, had been sworn before himself. As,
however, the first proclamation towards eutlavrry would be
made on the 24th inst., the court would probably feel in-
clined to grant the rule—Lord Denman said that an appear-
&ace might be entered forthwith, which would prevent the
proclamation.—Mr. Wise observed that as the defendant bad
not absented himself from the country to avoid his creditors
there ought not to have been any proceedings towards ma-
k:lama, therefore, that the defendant ought not to be
with the costa of those which load taken place.
Lord Denman thought that the question %doom might be
considered at 'mother time. An appearance forthwith would
atop the proclamation ; auvl at present the defendant could
only ask that it should be stopped.—Rule refused.

ACTION ON ♦ PROADISORT NOTS.—MT Knowles and Mr.
Conte appeared for the plaiatiff; mid me Serjeant Sheo and
Mr. Pearson for the delendant—The action was brought to
recover 3101. on a promivory note given by the defendant, a
picture-dealer, to a Mr. Oomperts, and endorsed to the
plaatiff, who woe a Mr. Kirkman Line, an attoruey in
Argyle-street.—After proof of the plaintiff's case, Mr.
Serpent Shee addressed the jury, and, in ex-
planation of the transaction for which the note
wee given, said that the defendant sold a pic•
Mire by Titian, called the " Six Ctesars ;" and another by
Murillo, called "Abraham and Angels," to Mr. Donald
?laciest', M.P. for Oxford, for 7,0001., which sum wea to be
paid in coals from the mines which Mr. Maclean represented
as being on his estate in Durham, called Wilton Castle.
Twenty thousand tens of coals, at 71. a ton, were to Le deli-
vered at Stoekton-on-Tees, within the years 1818 and
1817, not exceeding 2,000 tons in say one month. These
coals were to be sold to a French railway company
with which the defendant was connected, and went to
France for that purpose. While there, he heard thtt Mr.
Maclean was in difficulties. He returned and had an inter-
view with Mr. Maclean, who coassecd that he was ember-
raaed, but that his property was worth 106,0001., acd if the
defendant would advance him 10,0001. he would give hint a
mortgage on his estates for 17,0001 , instead of paying him the
7,00 W. f•r the pictures. He declined, and retained the pic-
tures. Mr. Maclean bad since become a bankrupt, his debts
amounting to 180,0001,. and his assets scarcely 1001. The
tromisiory nee in question was given to Mr. Glotapertx
for his introduction to Mr. Maclean as a purchaser of
the pictures, being a commiasion at 10 per cant.—Mr. Gem
pelts was called, aid proved the above circumstances, which
were confirmed by a Mr. Abraham, so far at least as Mr.
Maclean's embarrassments were concerned. In the course
of their examination their evidence was objected to, on the
part of the plaintiff; as being ffrelevant.—Verdict for the

on the morning of Wednesday last a fire broke out, under
very mysterious circumstances, at Hall Villa Farm, the pre
raises on which, but a few weeks ago, Are occurred under
circumstances equally mysterious, sad which then ended in
the burning of a cow-b.ase and several brute. The farm,
which is rather more than a mile from Bentley, is the pro-
perty of • Mine Hall. The occupiers are Messrs. J. and W.
Addeman, two industrious practical former., who, having
in the capacity of he ad servants or term bailiffs to gentlemen
in the district contrived to lave a small capital, entered upon
the Hall Vella Farm about three years ago. There appears
to be no doubt that an incendiary has beta at work oa both

A ROOT DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT occurred on Thursday
evening, in Southsea, by which Lieut. Heary, of the Royal
Marine Artillery, met bin death. The unfortunate gentle
man, with two brother officers, Licata. Budd and Ade*,
were driving along King's-terrace, Southsea, in a dog-cart,
and in turning the corner into Wish-atrcet, the carriage
touched the kerb, ran upon one wheel, and turned completely
over, the wheels uppermost, and the horse on its back. Mr.
Henry wan heavily thrown, an I fractured the back pf his
head, Weida receiving internal injury, from the effects oi
which the unfortunate gentleman died 3 esterday. Hi i com-
panions received no injury worth mentioning. The deceased
was a very promising young officer.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

In answer to a question from Captain PECH Lax,
Lord J. RUSSELL 'aid he could not at present name any
day on which the Health of Towns Bill would be proceeded
with, but perhaps it would be convenient for him to state
what the course of proceeding would be with respect to sere.
ral measures now under the consideration of the house. On
the supposition that the house would that night close the
debate on the subject of education, he should propose that
the report be received on Monday ; and alter that his right
hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exch. quer wished to take
a vote in order to enable the Exchequer Loan Com-
missioners to advance some large sums of money for certain
railways in Ireland which they were enabled to borrow ac-
cording to the usual rules. His right hon. friend the Secre-
tary for the Home Depariment then proposed to take into
consideration the Prison Bill, and on that question he (Lord
J. Russell) presumed the debate on transportation would
arise. On Friday he should propose to take two bills with
relation to Ireland—one with regard to the board of super-
vision of the poor laws, and the other with respect to
vagrancy in Ireland. Os Monday. the 3rd of May, he had
consented to give way is favour of the thrd reading of the
Factory Bill; and on Monday, the 10th of May, he pro-
posed to go on with the Railway Bill which had been
brought in by his right hon, friend the chief commissioner
of rsilweye.
PRISON DISCIPLINE.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE inquired whether the Secretary of
State for the Home Department had received a report with
reference to the complaint which he (Mr. Dtancombe) had
made as to the treatment of convicts in the hulks at Wool-
wich ? He thought it most desirable that such report should
be presented to the house before they proceeded with the
Prisons Discipline Bill.
Sir G. GREY had not veeivtd the report, but when it
was made there would be no occasion for delay in presenting
it to the house. He did not, however, think that it need
delay tne discussion on the bill referred to, which would not
pledge the house to anything with reference to the hulks at
Woolwich.

testimonial of their gratitude fir "a liberal ooncesaiwn of
privileges respecting ganv." Of course, dincer marked
the presentation of this token, and finer the cloth was

are, I consider, an enemy to the landlord, to the tenant, and
to the community at large. Indeed, I should like to see the

especially 'where draining is requisite, for one rabbit burrow-
