SERIOUS AFFRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR

LEEDS.
--•---

Yesterday (Tuesday) sa men were brought rep at
the Leeds Court-house, before the Rev. J. A. Rhodes and
other West Riding justices, on the chyle of shooting at
and seriously injuring the head gamekeeper (Mr. James
Phillips) at Templenewmin sad his assistants. The pri-
soners are Thomas Seholefield, We. Reston, James Shad,
Joseph Shad, Wm. Ellis, and Robert Wilson, all residents
at Rothwell and the neighbourhood. Early oa Sunday
morning the watchers employed on the Templenewsain
estate (the property of %Instil Ingram, Esq.) fell in with
a party of poachers, and information was given to Mr.
Phillips, the head gamekeeper, who with six assistants
went in pursuit of the party, which was found to be a lugs
one, consisting of twelve or thirteen men, nearly all of
whom were armed. A parley took place, but the
poachers being nearly double the number of their oppo-
nents, refused to be taken into custody ; and in a short
time shots were fired on both sides. At least eixteen
shots were heard at a distance, and two of them wok
effect ; one wounding Phillips, the head gamekeeper, in
the head, and the other one of the poachers in the leg.
With these unequal odds the gamekeeper and his party
abandoned all further attempts to secure the party, and
eventually they all left the ground, the poachers taking
with them their wounded companion. Information of the
affray was at once sent to Mr. Greta, the superintendent-
constable of the district, and in the course of the day he
learnt that three men, one of them lame, were seen walk-
ing towards Bothwell. This led him upon the track of the
offenders, and he presently found Thomas Scholcfield, the
wounded man, and subsequently caused the other five
prisoners to be taken into custody. Mr. Phillips is still
very ill, though it is hoped he will recover. He could not,
however, appear before the justices yesterday,and therefore
he.case was remanded.

PROROGATION OF P.

Yesterday all speculations respecting an early
meeting et parliament were sot at rest, by the fact of the
usual formal prorogation to ths 3cd of January next,
without the important addition, " kit this despatch of bui-

sass," which iadicatcs % actual

of the

session. Ti see the dull, quiet, and atter•of•fact way in
which the brief eeremsay was hurried through, one could
hardly ham imagined that the foreign relations of the
country were is a stale of crisis, that the Turks and Bw
sisal wen belabouring each other ea the beaks of the Da.
nubs, that the British fleet was in the Bosphorus, or that
the Pram Minister was daily threatened with impeach.
sent by the omits of the protectionist press. The day
was most seasonable, that is to as,, as dark sad foggy
as possible. Two candles, of frugal dimensions, flickered
dismally on the clerks' table, sad made faintly risible the
two or three rows of bonnets which supplied the plate of
the plumes and diamonds that figure en the red benches
when royalty beams the house with its presence. The

wessaissionen IMO the Lord ChantieUoi, the Duke of
Newcastle, aad Lord Campbell. Their lordships stole
into the house as quietly as possible at about five minutes
past three o'clock, and Wok their smite upon the woolsack
with the least imaginable ceremony. The noiseless entry
of these distinguished personages, as seen through the
gloom, had something spectral in its character, and eel-
&any produced a profound impression on the dozen or so
' of count:oolk who, through the patronage of some info-
'anal messengers, had obtained admission to the pageant.
The Commons were effectively represented by Mr. Ley,
who had, however, no field for that elocution so mock
praised by lir. Disraeli, and ldr. Williams, the senior
doorkeeper, blushing intensely under the responsibilities of
the situation. Some small betting went on, in merman,
below the bar, as to the probable time of meeting, while
the clerk read the commission, and the interest perceptibly
intensified, as he came to the words, " for certain pressing
caws sod considerations ;" but when it transpired that
the only effect of thew " pressing causes and considera-
tions" west* give the minister, another five-weeks' holiday,
public curiosity collapsed, and the ceremonial lost its inte-
rest. The form was read through to the end, the commis-
sioners severally raised their three-cornered hats with
that variety of grace which might be expected from their
several idiosyncrasies, the gilded gates were t►rown epee,
and the whole of the drissmatio persona noiselessly melted
away in the fog.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF \VAR.—Our latest
news from the theatre of war is from Astley's Theatre,
where the war with &Mill is being carried on with un-
flagging energy. Last night the Russians bad entrenched
themselves in a strong position 111 front of the enemy, and
the Russian General, Widdicomh, turned the right wing—
s wrong one having been turned by tie negligence of •
scene-shifter. The enemy were in position at nine o'clock,
and a French officer made towards a standard, which he
eventually carried. On Saturday afternoon a body of Rus-
sian soldiers received their pay from the treasury, which is
understood to be amply supplied. In the evening the
battle was resumed with great vigour ; but both parties
eventually laid down their arms. The Russians were much
harassed, and set fire to Moscow in several places with bite
of tow steeped in spirits of wine. The city burnt with great
fary fer nearly an entire minute, when it was terminated by
• decisive blow from the mouth of the master carpenter.—

WANTON ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS ON

A messenger arrived from his Excellency Omer Puha

boats and lighters sufficient for the transport of some one
thousand men, to be effected after sunset on Monday or Tues-
day, 29th Monharreen. Accordingly, on the Ist of No-
vember, about 29 large boats and yietcks quitted port long
before break of day ; but the fog, low water, and danger-
ous banks did not permit the steamer and schooner to star
during the night, and they left at sunrise. The boats
reached Turtukai without accident, but the steamer and
transports just mentioned were exposed to the fire of a
Russian battery of two guns in passing before Giurgevo-

TUE CASE OF A REGISTRAR OF BIRTHS.

Mr. 0. MORGAN desired an explanation why the Regis-
trar-General had refused to dismiss or prosecute a registrar
against whom certain grave irregularities bad been alleged.
Viscount PALMEItSTON replied that this person had
been appointed some ten or twelve years ago by the Mon-
mouth Board of Guardians, and had been found by the
Registar-General to be an exceedingly ignorant and ineom•
petent man. Not wishing however to disturb the appoint-
ment of the guardians he had sent other officers to inspect
his books, and to give him instructions for the future. The
man bad profited by those instructions, and his books of
late had been found perfectly correct; but the guardians
having in the meantime become acquainted with the irre-
gularities of which he bad been guilty ten years before, had
desired the Registrar-General to dismiss 1r prosecute him.
The Registrar-General thought that either proceeding
would be a very harsh one under the circumstances, and he
did not think that it was a case in which they would be
right in throwing the expense of a pryiecution upon the
public. He (Lord Palmerton) was certainly of opinion
that the Registrar• General had judged quite rightly; but
if the Board of Guardians thought proper they could insti-
tute proceedings against the man themselves.

EXTRAMURAL

In answer to Mr. 0. MoRGAN,
Viscount PALMERSTON thought it would be very de
sirable to introduce into provincial towns a measure on the
subject of extramural interments on the same principles as
those which had been embodied in the metropolitan act.
The subject, no doubt, was one that required very much
consideration, but he hoped that in the course of the pre.
sent session the government would be able to bring in a
bill. (Hear.)

• COlTON.—LtvaaPooL, Arm 25.—The market aloud
tamely and steadily, and compared with Friday's rates,
prices of all kinds were the same. Sales amounted to

250 Surat, 3id. to 41d.; and 20 Sea Islands, 2ld. to 2s.

CORN.—Oatats, APRIL 7.—The demand for wheat
-and Indian corn that bar sprung up during the
past fortnight, owing to the very large fleet of ves-
sels that hays arrived, has all but cleared the market
of good shipping qualities, and the quotations are at the
moment almost nominal. Further supplies, however, will
be shortly coming forward. Freights : Upwards of 100 tail
have run up during the past ten days, and the rates have
undergone a gradual decline. Some of the first arrivals ob-
tained 13s. per quarter, but to-day 12s. 33. is the highest
offer for ratclasa British vessels, and 12s. for good
foreigners. A few of the vessels have made exceedingly
rapid passages, and some are wanting consignees.

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, AraTL 9.
It may be recollected that during the struggle
between the brothers Don Pedro and Don Miguel for
the sovereignty of the country, loans were sought
by the partisans of eaih, and Pedro, having been
successful, repudiated all loans contracted by Don
Miguel. It happened, however, that an Israelitish
hones lent 1,000,000,000 refs to the government of
Don Miguel as the war was drawing to a close;
90,00p,000 rear, or thereabouts reached Lisbon and'
was duly appropriated, but the remainder of the loan
fell into the hands of the government of Donns Maria.
No part of the loan was recognised, but some know-
ing persons considering that a loan to a government
de facto, received and appropriated, is binding on its
eneeeeeer, and having legally possessed themselves of
the bonds, or whatever other name the sweeties
bore, and have so far interested the French govern-
ment in their favour, that Napoleon 111. has directed
his ambassador here to make a peremptory demand
upon the Partagusse government for the principal
and all interest—nearly about 20 years—requiring
immediate payment; and last week the ministersof
Dimas Mena IL went to the British minister, to
ask the aid of the British government in their unex-
posd distress.
The Indemnity debate drags on. Ministers are
daily losing the little popularity which they enjoyed,
Baldanha's illness becomes more serious, and who is
to succeed him is a question which It becomes every

able to obtain, is admitted into the ministry. M.

THE DUTY ON TALLOW.

Mr. MITCHELL be to uk the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether, as e had anaounced his intention to
repeal the soap duties, he would admit the raw material
(tallow) duty free ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was afraid
he really could not afford to part with the tallow duty. The
duty which was considered ae countervailing to the excise
on soap would be remitted ; but he should retain a low duty
corresponding to that upon tallow.

THE METROPOLITAN BUILDING ACTS.
Lord D. STUART asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether it was his intention to introduce, during the
present session of parliament, any bill to erased the Metro-
politan ',Miffing Acta.
Sir W. MOLESWORTH said the difficulty of the subject
wit proved by the fact that during the last five years as
many bills had been introduced, not one of which had met
with the sanction of parliament. The government had no
intention of bringink forward any measure this session ; but
they would make inquiries with a view to future legislation.

quate to the services they had to perform ?

neral increase of wages; bat in cases which seemed to re-
quire additional remuneration it would be given.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

MONDAY.

Many years have expired since the owning day of the
First Spring Meeting at Newmarket presented so winterly
an aspect. Snow end rain fell alternately in heavy showers,
and the day was comforthas in the extreme. Circum•
stances so untoward led to the postponement of the matches
which were on the card, and lo an alteration in the order
of the time of running, the first event set down for decision
being at a quarter befae three o'clock instead of half.
past one.
The muster on the Heath consisted chiefly of the indefa-
tigable class of business men who in spite of wind and
weather will congregate together. The racing was very
aunty and quite void of interest.
At the rooms in the morning, even money was betted on
West Australian for the Two Thousand, 5 to 2 agat
Sylphiae for the One Thousand, and 103 to 8 five times
egat Orinoco for the Derby.

the proposed extension of the income tax to Ireland, ma on
I other matters connected with the Budget.
London, England, 1853-04-26

THE INCOME TAX.

Mr. BRIGHT wished to put a coeliacita to the right hon.
gentleman with reference to the incidence of the inc
tax. The point was one in which many thousands of per-
sons in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and particularly in Lan-
cashire, were interested. The right hon. gentleman was,
no doubt, aware, that in manufacturing towns there were
many families whose whole income exceeded 100/. a year,
such income being made up of the waste', not only of the
father or the head of the family, but also of bis wife or
children, or both. Now, he wished to know whether it was
proposed that the wages of the husband alone should be as-
sessed, or whether those of his family should be included?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry
the hon. gentleman had not given him notice of this ques-
tion, because it would be necessary, before answering it,
to look at the old income tax acts. The case had not arisen
under the recent acts, but it must have done so under the
old ones. (Hear, hear.)

TIIE DOG TAX.

In answer to Mr. E. BALL.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it
was not intended to alter the existing exemption in favour
of shepherd dogs. The rule was to take Hest a vote as to
all dogs, and then to exempt certain breeds by clauses in
the bill. The exemptions were not stated at all in the rase-
lotions.

the noble earl himself bad not been strictly parliamentary
in the language be hest Card to-night, for the noble earl in
the course of debate made use of the words " shuffling

lagising to those whom his unguarded expressions were cal-
culated to offend. Hear," and a laugh.)
The Earl of DERBY accepted of course the right rev.
prelates enplessatims, but the right rev. prelate when he
spoke of having smiled when he need his objectionable
epithets should have remembered the quotation, " A man
may smile, and smile, and be a villain still." (Cheers
and laughter.) However, the right rev. prelate declared
that he did not use the expressions offensively, and he in re-
turn could assure their lordships that nothing was further
from his mind than to offend any one when he made use of
the terms "abseiling evasion." (Hear,hear.)
The Earl of CLARENDON roes is • very exeited
when the noble earl resumed his seat, and ex-
claimed with considerable warmth, "We an not accus-
tomed, my lords, to hear such expressions used here, not even
in the hest of debate. The term' shuffling evasions' was
sufficiently unparliamestary ; but when we beer the exces-
sively offensive expression villain' addressed to any one of
your lordships, but more espe.iially a member of the episco-
pal bench, it is indeed time to call the noble lord to
order. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of DERBY said the noble earl's warmth was
quite uncalled for, inasmuch as he applied the quotation
in a laughing mood, and certainly without soy intention of
imputing anything offensive to the right rev. prelate. But
it was almost unnecessary for him to say even this much,
since both the house and the right rev. prelate observed
the jocular tone in which he spoke' and he
would take leave to advise the noble lord that
before he again gave vest to his indignation he should wait
until he himself became the subject of • personal attack.
The committee then divided, when there appeared,

THE CRYSTAL PALACE..-DEPUTATION TO

LORD PALMERSTO .
Yeeterda_y a deputation of working men waited
spa Lord Palatenton, at his residence in Carlton-gardens,
ha the parpoee of presenting a memorial against the open-
halite Crystal Palace on Sunder. -
deputation was introduced by Joseph Wilson, Esq.,
of Clapham-park.

Lord PALIKRASTON said he was exceedingly glad titian
met the deputation on this occasion, and as they had been
so fair and just with him, he would be on is par with them
in cordially expressing big opinions en the question. For
himself, he could not be brought to see how the opening of
the pleasure ground of the Crystal Palace would be produc-
tive of amount of evil which hod been described. He
could not see the harm of an individual who devoted a
portion of the seventh day to the woidtip of his Used, going
afterward' to view these pleasure grounds, but be was only
stating his private °pistons. He weak!, however, give the
matter his most serious consideration. He mast confers
that he had frequently taken • ferry across the civic on
/Nodal., and had also taken a row himself, and had sees
individuals lining the hanks, taking • breath of fresh air.
He should not object to • measure closing public•honses
and beer-shops on Sundays, but be thought opening the
Crystal raises would draw reople away from such plasm.
He certainly objected to the desecration of the Sabbath, but
was not unfavourable to harmless and innocent recreation
after Divine Service.

Ills lordship having uked several garotte= sad reads

the interest he had taken in the subject.

BOROUGH OF SLIGO.

Mr. FITZGERALD moved the issue of a new writ for
the borough of Sligo, in the room of Charles Townley, Esq.,
unseated hthe decision of a committee of that house.
Mr. BUTT moved the suspension of the writ for a fort-
night, oa the ground that the Sligo committee had ordered
the evidence taken before it to be printed, and that such
evidence had not as yet been laid on the table. The hon.
and learned member contended that both bribery and in-
timidation having been proved, and the committee having
ordered the evidence to be printed, it would be premature
to proceed with the writ until the house had all the evi-
dence before it.

On the question being put,
Mr. V. SCULLY moved the adjournment of the debate
till that day week.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL seconded the amendment.
The bowie then divided—
For the adjournment
Against it
The amendment was accordingly carried
Mr. BUTT then moved that the debate be adjourned
unlit next Monday week, the formr amendment having
now become an original motion.
After a short discussion the second amendment was with-
drawn, and the debate was adjourned until this day week.

SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in moving
the second reading of this bill, said it was a measure about
which many persons felt particularly anxious ; but it would
be unreasonable in him, after the long debate they bad just
had, to detain the house with any statement of its general
objects, the more so as he did not believe there was any in-
tention to contest its principles. He wished to be governed
by what might appear to be the general wilt of the house,
but he would suggest that the more convenient course would
be to read the bill a second time now, and to allow some
time to elapse before the committee, when he would propose
to take the discussion.

Mr. VANCE objected to the second reading without a
full statement of as purposes and objects of the measure.
He considered that It sdould have a retrospective operation,
so that those poor persons who had suffered fiom the defal-
cations °flowing' banks might be repaid their losses.
Mr. H. HERBERT thought the hon. gentlemen was
defeating his own object by opposing the second reading of
the bill. If he wished the bill to have a retrospective ope-
ration, the proper course was to allow the bill to be read a
second time and to move a clause in committee to carry
out his object.
Mr. OROGAN hoped the appeal of his hon. colleague
(Mr. Vane!) would meet with the attention of the house.
Mr. BOTHERON said that the statements of the right
boa gentleman might be made on going into committee.
He hoped the house would allow the bill to be read a se-
cond tams now.

Lord C. HAMILTON expensed a similar request. He
thought that the settlement of the general question of
saving banks would pave the way for the compensation
which his friends the members for Dublin asked for.(Hear.)
Mr. °EACH said he would not oppose the second reed-
ing of the bill, but he hoped be would not be precluded
thereby from opposing many of the provisions of the bill
which be thoeght objectionable.
The bill was then read a wend time.
SAVINGS BANKS ANNUITIES BILL.
This bill was reed a second time.

CHATHAM ELECTION WRIT.

THE DUKE OF GENOA.

PORTSMOUTH, JUN 13.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Genoa arrived
at this port from London by the mail train at 12.30 a.m.
to-day, being accompanied by the Marquis d'Azeglio, the
Sardinian Ambassador, the Marquis St. Marna, Count de
la Valle, Colonel Wylde, Count Rapello, Count Avrogadro,
and suite. His Royal Highness proceeded to the George
Hotel, where he stayed for the night, and this morning he
was waited upon by the Commander-in-Chief, Viee-Admirel
Sir T. J. Cochrane, K.C.8., the Lieutenant-Governor,
Major-General Simpson, and the Superintendent of the
Dockyard, Rear-Admiral A. Fanabawe, C.B. At 10 o'clock
he left the George in Admiral Cochrane's carriage for the
Dockyard, over which his royal highness was wrested by
Admirals Cochrane and Fansh►we. Having gone over the
various departments the duke went on board the Fire
Queen steam-vessel, blaster Commander Paul, and pro-
ceeded out of harbour to Bpitbead, where his royal highness
went on board the magnificent screw-ship Duke of Wel-
lington, of 131 guns, being saluted by her. Having made
a lengthened inspection of her he again embarked on board
the Fire Queen, under another salute from the Duke of
Wellington, and proceeded down the Solent to Osborne-
house, which his royal highness viewed. He then returned
into ►arbour and landed at toe Sallyport, where the COM-
mander-in-Chiers carriage was in waiting for him, and
conveyed him to the railway station, his royal highness
leaving for London by the .2 p.m. train of the South Coast
Railway. The utmost respect was paid to his royal highness
at this port, the awe of the ships manning yards and the
garrison saluting h m from the platform battery.

GERMANY.

Several foreign newspapers announce, on the au-
thority of letters from Vienna, that the Austrian go-
vernment has resolved to bring forward immediately
the loan of 80,000,000 florins, which it is desirous of
contracting in &foreign market. The unsettled state
of affairs in Europe would teem to discredit this in-
telltgenee.

The official document by which the government of
Baden announces the abandonment of further pro.
ceedings against Professor Gervinus, declares that it
we. distrust of any jury which might be empanelled
to try the indictment, which determined the ministry
to escape from the judicial conflict.

By a recent ukase, the Emperor of Russia, after
having ordered the construction of an electric tele-
graph between Odessa and St. Petersburg, has
also directed the postal service on that road to be en-
tirely re-organised. The rams decree declares that
a railway in the direction of Odessa will be • work
of public utility, and that orders will at a future
period be given for its construction.

CANADA.

QUEBEC, MAT 28.
The great measure of this session, the Representa-
tion Bill, has been finally passed through all its
stages by the upper house by two votes more than a
two-thirds majority. The bill will of course now
become law, as, according to the theory of respon-
sible government, the Oovernor-Oeneral is supposed
to hays given his assent to the principle before its
introduction.
I have before stated to you the object of this bill,
but I may as well here repeat that it is to leers...
the representation of Canada in the provincial par-
liament from 84 members to 130. The government
look upon it as the Reform Bill of Canada. The event
of its passage excites great interest in the province
as is natural to suppose. To attain this sad a two-
thirds majority of both houses was neaten:7, accord-
ing to a provision of the constitutional act ; and for
five or six years past this two-thirds majority was
only not obtained by one or two votes every torsion
lof parliament. This adds to the eclat of the present
success of the bill.

Various speculations are made an to its effect upon
the future destinies of the province; and I think
there is no doubt it will give a much more energetic
ezpeesuoa to the popular yoke than at present, as
well as Weider the representation more democratic.
_ _

The elective council resolutions of the provincial
secretary, of whioh I have before written to you,
were discussed during the whole of the pest week,
but no vote has yet been taken upon them. The
probability is they will be carried.

The Legislative Council has taken the decisive
step of throwing out the Beiguorial Tenure Bill,
which was very unexpected, and has excited great
surprise. This was one of the pet measures of the
government, and took a long time to mature.
For the rest, there has been little of interest done
since my last letter.

IRELAND.

DULLIN, JUNE 13.
The writ for the Clare election was met ived by
the high ant:riff on Saturday, but the day for the no-
milli:man has no: vet been announced. In the mean
time, both parties.m; making active preparations for
the struggle, of which :.1e Roman catholic clergy
.1
arc resolved not to be ;die witnesses. Bishop
Vaughan assembled a number of his priests at his
residence, and they came to the determination to
oppose again, as far as in them la:. the election of
Colonel Vandeleur. Sir Edward Fitzgerald, Bart.,
nephew of the late member, will, it is toderstood,
bo one of the liberal candidates.

The meeting at the Rotund° to-day is likely to be
a boisterous affair, if indeed it do not end in some-
thing worse than noise. The Rev. Tresham Gregg
has publicly announced his intention of attending
the meeting with a strong party of his followers, tor
the purpose of moving a counter-resolution, and has
given notice to that effect to the preparatory com-
mittee of the meeting. If he persists in his deter-
mination a scene of indescribable confusion must be
the result; but as the authorities are thus timely
notified, precautions will of course be taken to pre-
vent any breach of the peace.
The following is the official communication referred
to above as the reply to the application of the Dublin
Protestant Association :
