THE POOR LAWS

In reply to -Mr. Wyse,
Mr. BouvPrie said it was not intended by the Govern-
ment to introduce in the present see don a bill on the sub•
jict of the settlement and removal of the poor. It was a
question for the house whether a committee should be
appointed to inquire into the operation of the Poor Relief
Laws. For his own part he should like to hear the-
grounds upon which a committee was demanded, before
assenting to the appointment of one.
THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS.

In reply to Sir H. Willoughby,
Mr. Wilson said that the Finance Accounts to the 31st
of March 18:37, o:ght to be presented on the 30th of June,
and he should use his exertions to insure their being ready
by that time.

CB MICR RATES.
In answer to Sir J. Trelawny,
Lord Palmerston said he could only give tho same
answer as to the intentions of the Government upon the
Church Rates question that he had given on a former
occasion, namely, that her Majesty's Government had the
matter under their consideration, an 1 were not without
hope that they would be able to propose some satisfactory
arrangement on the subject.
Sir John Trelawney gave notice that, unless he obtained
a more satisfactory explanation, ha should bring the
subject before the house in the course of next month.

THE SUPPLIES.
The Lords Commissioners' speech was then taken into
consideration; and, on the motion of Mr. Wilson, it was
resolved, that the house should, to-nforrovv, resolve itself
into a committee, for the purpose of granting the ordinary
supplies to her Molest:.
SAVINGS' BANKS
The house having goiie into committee to consider the
laws relating to savings' banks,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the follow-
ing resolution :—" That it is expedient to amend the laws
relating to savings' banks, and to provide for the estab-
lishment of savings' banks with the security of the govern-
ment." He submitted this resolution, in order to introduce
a bill, which differed in no material respect from the
measure presented by him to Parliament in the last session.
During the recess, he had communicated with savings'
banks on the subject ; and, from the statements
which had been made to him, it appeared that the great
majority were of opinion that the Government guarantee
to savings' banks was a beneficial principle, and
ought to
be adopted by the house. The principal objection was to
the provision for limiting the maximum deposit to .4,100.
The amount fixed by law being e2OO, and that clause he
proposed to abandon. There was also another difference
between the two bills, which, however, was merely one of
detail. By the seventh clause of the bill of last session, it
was provided, that the price of the funds at which money
invested by the Savings' Banks Commissioners should be
ealculated,,shieuld be upon an average of the preceding
quarter, whereas, by the present bill, he proposed to take
the price of money at the day.
Sir H. Willoughby expressed surprise that the Govern-
ment, professing to take measures for the consolidation of
the statutes, should have introduced a bill of this descrip •
tion, arid thought that the house should refuse its sanction
to such piecemeal legislation.
Mr. Henley raised objections to various details of the
measure, and suggested that it should be referred to a
select committee, in order that the opinions of trustees
and managers of banks might be taken upon it.
Mr. Thoa:as Baring, Mr. Slaney, Mr. H. Herbert and
Mr. S. Esteourt generally approved of the measure.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied to the detailed
ohj ctions advanced during the discussion, and refused
his assent to the proposal to send the bill to a. select
committee, on the ground that it would be virtually
defeating it.

The r'e'solution was then agreed to, and leave'wastiven
to bring in the bill.

THE .TRANSPORTATION BILL.
Sir George G7ey moved the soaped reading of the
Transportation Bill; and explained its provisions, which
were the same as those of his bill of the last session, on
the subject. The hill proposed to abolish all sentences of
transportation under fourteen years, and to give the
Courts power to pass sentence of penal servitude for four,
five, or six years, In lien of transporta: ion for seven years.
Mr. Bentinck objected altogether to transportation,
and would oppose this measure on the ground that it did
not go far enough. He moved, as an amendment, that the
bill be read a second time that day six months, but no one
rising to second him, the amendment felt to the ground.
Mr. Roebuck attributed the extent of crime in this
country to the want of employment, the great' objections
to tainted labour driving tnen to co omit theft after theft,
till the gallows ended their career. l 4 or this reason, he
thought that a loan once transported should never return,
but should be placed in some island, say in the South Sea,
too far from a continent to allow of his escape, and should
be kept there under surveillance during the remainder of
his life. The difference of crimes should be provided l'or
by graduated terms of penal servitude, but all Should
involve transportation for life. To prevent escape, he

sexes, and in that way make .our convicts populate the
foundation of great empires.
Sir John Pakington could not concur with the member
for Sheffield that crime was attributable to want of
employment. He rather attribUted it to ignorance and
drunkenness. lie objected to the hon.
gentleman's scheme
on the ground that to meet all crimes with equal punish-
ment would he to return to old times, and "that it would
be found a difficult matter to select an Island upon which
a convict colony, according to the plan, could with safety

system of '1,•:-.{.::--*-4-tryofrvet that, in- the
bills of the Goicreinent, lio4,'was'eut to be entirely cut
off after the passing of a. sentence of transportation.
Mr. Collier condemned .Ir. Roebuck's plan, and
generally approved of the government measure. In
regard to the ticket-of-leave, system, he aid not advocate
its en-tire abandonment, but thought that a certain amount
2t,imprisonment with hard-labour should begone through
in every case.
Dm:a:mond and Mr, Philips were of opinion that
there were h 'great number of places' available to receive
convicta.i- • ••.y •

Mr. W. Ewartstated,bis.opinion that transportation

Mr. Liddell suppoited'ihe bill.
Mr.• Henley deprecated the ' omission of the word tran-
sportation in the measure, and considered it of such
potency in terrifying offenders;. that he thought it should
be inierted in the bill in committee.

Mr. M. T. Baines defended the bill.
• Mr. Whiteside suggdsted amendments in details of the
measure.

-71111rtieating and Mr. Packe also made suggestions for
the_amendfnent of the bill, in cOmnlittee.

J.,,ord Stanley did not think it possible to found a new
cbienial set tlemeni,

spOrted to Western A.ustratia s'nouid be considered free

system, stating that in his opinion it had not had a fair
,trial.

After some remarks from Mr. G. J. Beresford, Mr.
Hope, and Nlr. Marsh, the bill was read a second time,
and ordered to be committed on Friday next.

Mr. Bowyer,objected to the bill, on the grounds that it

therefore, could not have been sufficiently,cousidered, and
that, by -it poverty weal be treated as a crime, the

A Tony CAUTION TO LORD PALHERSTON.—Lard
Palmerston has to take care that he,:does not provoke the
Conservatiam of theehetise to active hostility. The Tory
party well probably: not 'oPpbse all reforne hut reform of
a certain kind and character they will resist most cer-
tainly. The Premier knows this, and that they are mire
United than they have been for years, and he is very far from
knowing how far' he can depend upon his own majority.
All this, with probably something of a lurking but honest
disinclination to any really destructive measure, will
make him r luetant, to go vary far.—Standard.

THE LATE EDITOR OF " THE Peass."—Our obituary
to-day. we regret to say, contains the came of Mr. David
Trevana Coulton, one of the most talented and consistent
journalis's of the metropolis. The name will, no doubt,
be strange in the ears of the public, bet the jourral
which he has inspired and edited hes made itself famous
through out the whole country. We have frequently felt
it our duty to condemn the temper in which many of the
articles in the Press newspaper have been written, and on
almost all occasions to differ from the po;itical views
of that journal, but we never doubted that its able
and expert editor was a {gentleman of the highest
honour and integrity. Only a few days ago he

alacrity ; but he is now no more, and has departed
in the prime of life at forty-six years of age. Mr. Ceulton
was the founder of the Britannia newspaper. He was,
also a contributor to the Quarterly Review, and was also
known as the author of the navel " Fortune," a work
indicating the possession of no ordinary imaginative power,
He died at Brighton after three weeks illness. -Bronchitis
was the first attack, but it is feared that the shock to the
system, from his having to go down to Maoelesfisld withiq
the last month, to be presern at the deathbed of his
brother, arriving just an hour too late, mainly contributed
to the fatal termination of his malady. He has left a
widow and two children, and one sister, the last survivor
of a family, the mortality in which has been most rapid.—

of £65,000 per annum. In the collec ion of the malt

1816 the tax ceased, and was not revived - until 1842,
when it was re imposed by Sir Robert Peel. It produced
in the first year of the re-assessment £5,608,000. Tee
returns for the City of Landon are, however, an exception,
showing an improvement in trade of .£530,000 last year
over the returns of the year prece iing, In many of the
large cities, and in West Yorkshire, the trade returns are
also cousiderably increased, whereas in Liverpool they
present a decrease of £102,000. Scotland shows an ime
provement in tenant farmers' profits of £90,000; while
the only eight counties in England which show a similar.
advance worth notice do so to only half that amount. The
report is dated the 16th of February, 1357. With the.

FOREIGN INTPI

FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
If one is to credit, not all, but even half of what
is heard from people who seem to have reason for
what they say, the Court is by this time a little
disenchanted of its Grand Ducal visitor, and no
very bitter tears would be shed on either side
- if the parting hour was to be to morrow. Many ,
little circumstances indicate, it is said, that,
whatever favourable opinion his Russian High.
ness has, in common with every impartial man,
of the intellectual powers of the Emperor of
_ the French, he has no firm faith in the dura
bility of the Imperial regime. Perhaps he has
been disappointed in his expectations of winning
him back from the error of his ways, that is, his
adhesion to the alliance with England ; and this
may have warped his judgment or embittered his
feelings. It is pretty certain, however, that his
opinion of a few other personages who, like the
loose odds and ends attached to the tail of a kite,
and which are pulled up after it into the air, now
soar amid the clouds, is not very exalted. The
Grand Duke is net solitary in his judgment, others
probably think the same in silence, but the Grand
Duke now and then hints his opinion to those about
him. The first Napoleon once said—it was lens
after the sentimental scene at Erfurt—that if you
scraped a Russian you will find the Tamar under-
neath; and 1 believe something of the Tartar has
appeared. Then his Imperial Highness is thought
to be rather abrupt and haughty to some of those
with whom he comes into contact; and a manner
which may be suited to St. Petersburg, where, at
the will of the sovereign, the highest dignitary ,
may be reduced to the lowest rank,' is out of
place in a civilised and polite nation. Au anecs
dote is now running the round of certain circles
which, though I do not guarantee its truth, still
rests on. fain anthOrity. sA person having waited
on the Grand Duke in his apartment, on sonic
bUSiness of the day, was received rather ab-
ruptly, and addressed laconically with "Parlez
haut, Monsieur, et rite—et finissons" The Grand
Duke gives, perhaps, too literal an interpretation
to -the Emperor's manly avowal in the famous
manifesto soon after the establishment of the
Empire, about his being a parvenu, The Emperor
knows as well as anybody that there are two sorts
of people who come under that description. The
man who raises himself by his own merits from an
obscure station to one of eminence may justly
feel proud, and may boast of his success ; he may
hold his head high, and despise the malevolence
of the envious. He may maintain, without arro-
gance, his independence towards all and against
all, and not sacrifice a particle of his self-respect
to 'an over-hasty and undignified anxiety to
be identified with those who derive from others
what he has attained by himself The other
parvenu—the classknown uncles a more ordinary
but more emphatic designation—is one who is
ready to sacrifice everything to the desire of
being considered what he is not, and what those
whom he fawns upon will never readily admit him
to be. When the Emperor Napoleon declared
himself a parvenu it was certainly the more
honourable signification he gave to the term, but
I doubt if the Grand Duke Constantine interprets
it in the same way. The Emperor may take it for
granted that even if he succeeded in bringing the
whole of the continental Sovereigns to his levee,
if they vied with each other in adulating him,
and in seeking his friendship and alliance, and
loading his representatives with gifts and honours,
he will be considered by them no otherwise than
as an intruder—never as a legitimate member of
the fraternity. His position as the head of a great
and powerful nation ought to be a protpLene. His
influence and his dignity will not be enhanced by
their yielding to his pressing invitations to visit
bum ; for they consider their acceptance as a con-
Oeseension, and, if honour be in question, that they
collier instead of receiving it.
The Grand Constantine is by general account
a well informed man ; indeed, so well informed
as to know that he has still much to learn• That
he should have a keen desire to become acquainted
with every object of curiosity in a country he now
visits for the first time is quite natural. But it is
remarked that he is, perhaps, too minute in his
search after knowledge, and too exact in noting
down all he sees and hears, no doubt for future
use. His impressions de Voyage must be a curious
collection.
Speculation is still busy with the sudden depar-
ture of Prince Napoleon. A telegraphic despatch
from Berlin informs us that the Prince has de-
livered to the King an autograph letter relating
to the Neufchatel question, and he will doubtless,
take the opportunity of pressing on his Majesty its
speedy settlement—with what effect remains4to be
seen. The little sympathy between the Prince and
the Grand Duke is, nevertheless, thought to have had
much to do with his quitting Paris at a moment like
this. Though everybody knows how terribly effec-
tive and rapid the King of Prussia is in his move-
ments, yet the-settlement of the Swiss question
would not have been materially retarded by the
delay of a few days more.' It is also remarked as
strange that the Prince should not have remained
to attend the banquet niven by his father Prince
Jerome to the Grand Duke yesterday at the Palais
Royal, which is also the residence of Prince Napo
leon. The banquet was apparently a great affair.
The Russian Ambassador at this court, the one at
ondon, General Todtleben, and a crowd of
Russian personages of distinction, now in Paris
- (their name is Legion), the whole of the ministers,
the presidents of the great bodies of State, the
marshals, the admirals, the dignitaries of the Em-
peror's household, the generals who are aides-de-
csmp to the Emperor, the Grand Chancellor of the
Legion of Honour, the Governor of the Fttvalides,
the General commanding the National Guard, the
`commander of the army of Paris, the cream of the
senate, and the quintessence of the deputies,
with " other persons of distinction," all met
to do honour to the Grand Duke ; all were
these except the son of the host.. Can it be
that the Prince anticipated but little pleasure in
keeping time to the Russian national hymn, which
the Moniteur says was executed during dinner by
the hand of tho Paris Quards? Be this as it may,
it is certain that there was but little affection
between the Princes when they first met, and it has
pleased Heaven to diminish it on further acqudint•
ante. The Grand Duke is described as rather
haughty ;‘PrinceNapoieon is over frank, and has no
great power of dissimulation, and he is apt to speak
out what he thinks It was perhaps better, under
the circumstances, to avoid all occasions of un-
pleasant contact.
It is said that M. Thouvenel, the French
minist's" at Constantinople, presented a note some
time since to tne
- Sublime Porte, complaining of
-- ,a by the Kaimakans of
the illegal conduct pursis.
Wallachia and Moldavia. The

Con-
stantinople has brought despatches
that, the British and Austrian governments .!iave,
on their part, presented a note to the Divan, in
which they defend the conduct of the two
Kaimakans.
A letter from Jassy, of the 27th of April informs
us that the presence of the commissioners of the
(',reign powers at Jassy had not caused the least
change in the policy of the council of the govern-
ment nor in the conduct of the Kaimakan. On the
eeotraty, the arrival of those gentlemen gave him
an opportunity of exercising an additional act of
authority. A manifestation having taken place at
Jassy on the arrival of the commissioners for the
purpose of complimenting them, the Kairnakan
had addressed a proclamation to the Minister of
the Interior, recommending him in future to pro-
secute as criminels all who should form part of
a procession in the streets.
Feruk-Khan, the Persian Ambassador, declared
yesterday at the Foreign office that he not only had
not received any confirmation of the report that the
treaty of peace with great Britain had not been
ratified, but what rendered such a fact highly im-
probable is that since the treaty was signed he had
received despatches from the Court of Teheran
directing him to insist on certain terms which he
Lad already introduced into the treaty.
It is said that the Maritime Commission ap-
iseinted to give an opinion on the question of a

The following is said by a correspondent of the
Gazette de Lyon to be the copy of a letter addressed
by the Neapolitan State prisoner Poerio to his
aunt. It is dated from the State prison at Monte-
Sarehio, Bth April last :

Dear Aunt,—l have received your letter of the Ist of
this month, which was most agreeable to me. lam glad
to hear that your precious health is better and better, and
I can assure you I may say the same of myself. To-day
we have had magnificent spring weather, and 1 have had
the consolation of walking at my pleasure. I am happy
to hear that my excellent C— will have returned from
Catanzaro in the course of this month. In the meantime,
I pray you to embrace him, and to wish him in my name
a happy Easter. I wrote to you by post to send me by
the mail, fruit, green peas, artichokes, and butter, as you
are accuFtamed to do.

The fete commemorative of the deliverance of
Orleans by Jeanne d'Arc took place on Thursday
last in that city. A solemn service was celebrated
at Sante Croix, after which Monsigneur Gillis, the
Roman Catholic Bishop of the district of which
Edinburgh is the capital, ascended the pulpit, and
pronounced the panegyric of the heroine whosefete
was being celebrated. . A cortege was then formed
of the civil and military authorities and of all the
clergy of the town, which proceeded from the
Cathedral to the Place des Tourelles. The streets
were lined by troops of the garrison. The proses•
• sion returned to the Cathedral, where a Te Deem
was chanted, and the staridardofJeannk4 d'Arc was
committed by the Mayor to the care of the Bishop
of Orleans. The Mayor requested that Monsigneur
Gillis would permit his sermon to be printed, which
request was granted.
The following despatches have been received :
BERLIN, May 9.
" Prince Napoleon was present last evening at
the representation of the ballet at the Opera. He
was seated between the King and Quee❑ in their
private box. After the performance the Prince
received the President of the Council of Ministers

" Favoured by delightful weather, the parade, at
which Prince Napoleon is present, is still proceed-
ing The King's illustrious guest is cheered by the
enormous crowd assembled on the occasion ."

" MARSEILLES, MAY 9

"The Courier, of Constantinople, dated the 30th
ult., announces that Wilkins's bank has not suc-
ceeded in establishing itself. The Journal de Con-
stantinople announces that another English project
on a smaller scale has been rejectel. The Turkish
bankers have made propositions, which are not
acceptable.

" Private letters state thatit has been determined
further to enlarge the Palace of the Sultan.

" Wheat continues to rise at Constantinople.
Yesterday the arrivals at Marseilles amounted to
45,000 hectolitres, with prices firm.
"Austria has decorated the Bey of Tunis on the
occasion of an advantageous treaty concluded. A
good crop of wheat, Indian corn, and wool is ex-
pected in that country, but the people are incensed
at the heavy taxes and various seizures. There is
a considerable emigration to Algeria.
