The Commissioners of Inland Revenue Hereby Give Notice, That
every per-on taking, killing, or pursuing game. without first obtain-
ing a certificate, incurs a penalty of 201., mid is also liable to be sur-
charged in d able the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person In pursuit of game refusing, on being duly required, to

thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of
residence, also incurs a penalty of 201.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certifi,ate at the

certificate at such a rate of duty may protect a gamekeeper, it is
requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of
a manor or reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be
registered with the Clerk of the Peace, or the gamekeeper will be
liable to be surcharged in double the duty of 41. Os. 10d , and also to
be prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of 201.
N.B.—lt is the intention of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue
to publish in a separate list the names and residences of all persons
surcharged in double duty for sporting without certificates.

DERBY SMITHFIELD.-MAT 22.

There was a better supply of fat beasts to-Jay, and the
quality was generally good ; the attendance of buyers was
equ ,1:y large, out some few head of cattle were left unsold.
The pens were also well filled with sheep, and a good de-
mand for them. The number of lambs was unusually large
and rather heavy sale. The supply of fat and store calves
was by no means large, and high prices were asked for them
—the best quality scarce and in good request. Fat pigs
more plentiful.

The following were the quotations :—Beef, 60 to 7d ;
mutton, 6d to 7d ; lamb, Od to Od ; veal, 6id to 7d per
lb. ; pigs, Os Od to lOs Od per score ; rough fat, 5s 0.1 to Os
per 141 b.; hides, 31d to eiLd per lb ; calf-skins, 31 Ito d

house would have failed in its duty to itself and the
people if it did not unequivocally express its in-
dignation on the conduct of the First Minister
of the Crown. He (Mr. Whiteside) admitted the im-
portance of the question, and contrasted the views of the
hon. member for Oxford and those of the noble lord on
the question—gentlemen who had rode in the same
carriage on this question who had expounded
their views with great ability, but not with
equal consistency ; and if there was a justification re-
quired for the motion of the right hon. gentleman, he
would ask any impartial and attentive listener
to these speeches whether there was ever exhi-
bited before that house, or any reasonable as-
sembly, more striking proof of inconsistency of
opinion and insincerity of conduct, not on email mat-
tere, but on the greatest; subject that could well occupy
the minds of statesmen, on this question. On the ques-
tion of the war, the noble lord bad said he was for war,
and the honourable gentleman that he was for
peace, and would be satisfied with a treaty with Russia,
but the noble lord was for something more substantial.
The right hon. gentleman thought the revision of the
treaty of 1841 would be of much value in the
settlement of this question, but the noble lord
thought it would amount to nothing, because, as he
very truly said, without any fresh treaty the Sultan
must call out for help when assailed. (Hear, hear.)
The honourable gentleman thought these terms real
and substantial, but the noble lord considered them
futile and useless, and so the argument stood betvivn
them. One part of the noble lord's speech claimed
his attention on account of its fairness, be-
lieving that everything the noble lord said,
from his position, entitled him to implicit
respect, and that was that the negotiations with which
he was charged to conduct at Vienna that,
although the noble lord thought the success
of those negotiations came within the range o
possibility, he felt at no time sanguine of

The chief of the negotiations had, in fact, described him-
self as the leader of the forlorn hope of diplomacy—
(hear)—and such being the case, they were surprised if
hon. members still hesitated to vote for the motion
of hi right honourable friend. (Hear.) The result was
that those who proposed to pursue a direct and
honest course had the alternative but to declare that
they would do all in their power to carry on the war
and send diplomacy to the winds. (Hear.) Why, what
was the effect of the statements of the noble lord the
member for the city of London ? Why, that he had no
faith in diplomacy, and by doing so he had completely
destroyed the well•drawn arguments of his noble friend
at the head of the Government. (Hear, hear.) The
opinion of the noble lord was doubtless that it had been
the intention of Russia to destroy Turkey but for the in-

terference of England and France, and yet with those
opinions strongly impressed within him the noble lord
had said, on the motion of the right hon. gentleman the
member for Manchester, there were still hopes that ne•

gotiations might be entered into, and attended with
the best effects. For his own part he entertained
no such fallacious ideas believing from the
noble lord's speech of last night that any further nego-
tiations were useless. (Hear.) Much had been said about
what Russia had done for the free navigation of the
Danube. In his opinion the course she bad pursued was
an insult to any civilised nation in Europe. (Hear.) The
sketch that had been given last night by the noble lord

of the course adopted by Russia, —of her filching king-
doms and bribing officials, was frightful in the
extreme, and he thought that if Count Nesselrode wanted

to preserve the good opinion of the nations of the work:,
with respect to the conduct of Russia, he could not do

better than enrol the sketch given by the noble lord the

member for London in the Chancellerie of St. Petersburg,
as it would be a fitting memento of the perfidy of Russia.

_ .
The noLle lord described the evil we had to contend
with—what was the remedy ? Why, it was the mown

tain and the mouse over again. (Laughter.) The co

lossal power of Russia must, in some way or other, be
reduced, said the noble lord. il3 (Mr. Whiteside) listened
for the remedy the noble lord prescribed ; and what
did he point out ? Nothing—really nothing. (Laughter.)
All the noble for i suggested, as far as he (Mr. White-
side) could gather was, that something must bo done
which was a very safe theory to perform. (Et-ear, and
laughter.) But, said, the noble lord to the Opposition,
" Why don't you tell us what to do ?" ([Tear.) If
the Government would change places with them (the
Opposition) they would shew them what to do. (Loud

and prolongel cheers fr3m the Opposition, and laughter)
Was it ever the duty of the Opposition to do anything
more than criticise ? Ho (Ur. Whiteside) wished to

know from the noble lord, who was such an adroit

leader of Parliament, when it ever was the duty of the
Opposition to dictate the course of business to the Go-

vernment ? The charge brought against the Government

was that its language in this question hat been very

unsatisfactory and evasive. (Cheers.) Did the noble
lord explain what the noble lord the Premier meant? He

had not and he (Mr. W.) ventured to say the noble lord

did not really know what the Premier meant—it

was a very difficult question to determine. (Hear,
hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded
to read several extracts from the speeches of the noble
lord in illustration of his argument, and was
