TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

test night James Sadlier was formally expelled
from the House of Commons, on a motion of the
Attorney-Gemiral, who entered into a kind of ex-
planation of the conduct of the Government in this
singular affair. The sense of the House was evi-
dently censuring that of the authorities for delaying
so long in taking steps to render the constituency
of the County Tipperary vacant. The Budget is
to be discussed in the Ways and Means Committee.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated to the
House an estimate of the revenue of the years
1858 9 and 1859-60. He anticipated that in the
former the revenue would be £62,300,000, and in
the latter £62,365,000 ; and he estimated an ex-
traordinary expenditure for those two years of
£35,000,000 each year, being a net revenue of
£58,000,000. The Atlantic Telegraph Bill, and the
Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks Bill were read a
second time. In the House of Lords, Lord
Clarendon said he had received a communication
which led him to the belief that the Persian affair
would be satisfactorily settled.
Our columns to-day contain a terrible record of
crime. Murders, forgeries, robberies, and cases of
stabbing seem to be of almost daily occurrence.
On Friday night, a murder, accompanied by rob-
bery, was committed upon the highway botweeia
the villages of I\ utfield and Warwicktown, in Surrey,
a draper named Ovenden having been shot with a
pistol, on hi; return from Godstone, and robbed of
between and £5. The circumstance has occa-
sioned a good deal of alarm, not only in Nutfield,
near which village the murder took place, but

throughout the whole district. A man Went to the
Halifax Police Ofice, on Saturday, and made a
confession, the purport of which was, that
he and a companion murdered tha Governor
of Carlisle Gaol, by throwing him ovtr the
bannisters of the stairs some fourteen years
ago. The authorities of Carlisle have been com-
municated with on the subject, but the result is
not yet known. Two young men quarrelled in
T ondon on Sunday, and one stabbed the other in
the breast with a sharp pointed table knife.
The wound is likely to prove mortal. The assassin
has so far escaped. A person of "gentlemanly
exterior" has been disposing of stolen 'railway
bonds and other securities, through the Binning
ham Stock Exchange. He has not been arrested.
A meeting of the tea trade was held in Landon
yesterday. The meeting denounced the course
proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in
raising the tea and sugar duties, as an explicit
breach of faith, as well as a violation of free trade
and an act of gross oppression towards the poor,
to save the pockets of the rich
The local items this morning are interesting.
The annual meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid
Society was hell last night, the Lord Bishop of
Chester in the chair Orsini delivered his lecture
on Austrian mis-government in Italy, in the Clay-
ton Hall, last night, and the usual fortnight).
meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners was
also held last night. A fall report of all these will
be found in to day's paper.
The Continental intelligence this morning is int,.
'restiim. The French Chambers were opened by
the Emperor in person yesterday. Napoleon 111.
announces that peace has been signed ; that the
Prussian and Helvetic dispute has lost its warlike
character ; that the Western Powers have disagreed
with Naples through a desire .to favour humanity
and civilisation ; that the national expenditure
will be reduced, and that the pay of the soldiers
will be increased. He announces that henceforth
the conscripts will serve only two years instead of
seven. A grant is given for the establishment of
the Transatlantic Steam Company. The Moniteur
contains an article upon the laws of the French
press. It says " the decree of February 17, 1832.
which ordains that two judicial condemnations
against a periodical newspaper shall entail its
suppression, adds that the offences or contraven
tions of law must have been committed within the
space of two years. Some journals have just
raised -the question of whether the latter regu-
lation might not be made applicable by analogy
