PRISON DISCIPLINE (SCOTLAND.)

Mr. FOX M AULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to improve the management of prisons and the system of
prison discipline in Scotland. In illustration of the defects
of the present system, he pointed to the circumstance that
the male and female prisonels were confined in one place,
and submitted to the care of a gaoler with a salary of 51.
per annum. The remainder he eked out by the sale of
beer, spirits, and other liquors to the prisoners. He would
put the direction into the hands of a Board of Commission-
ers, and have the executive part looked to by the Inspector-
General of prisons, assisted by two persons, to be appointed
by the Secretary of State. The proposed mode of pay-
ment was to be by assessment on the country, taking as an
estimate landed and household property. He further pro-
posed that the Board should lay an annual Report before
Parliament, together with an estimate of the expenses for
the ensuing year. If these were not questioned in the
course of a month, the amount was to be levied on the
counties and boroughs in proportion to their wealth and
population. The road collectors would serve for a ma-
chinery to carry the measure into operation. The assess-
ment in any one year would be limited to 30,0001., and at
this calculation, taking the population of Edinburgh as a
standard, the impost would not be more than one penny in
the pound. He would not trespass further on the House
than to move for leave to bring in the Bill.
Mr. G. BRUCE cordially concurred in the proposed Bill.
Sir W. RAE hoped the measure would be taken up by
Government.

Lord J. RUSSELL promised that Government wou!d
do all in its power to give efficiency to the measure.
Mr. A. JOHNSTONE concurred in the principle of

ie Bill.

The LORD ADVOCATE said that the present
system of prison discipline was a disgrace to the country,
and he would be most happy to aid in correcting it.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.

Sir A. AGNEW moved fora copy of the correspon-
dence between the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's
Treasury and the Postmaster-General on the' subject of

the detention in London of letters from the country-on the
Lord's Day ; and also with reference to any proposals for
passing letters through London on the Lord's Day.—
Agreed to.
Sir A. AGNEW again moved for returns of the Post-
offices in Great Britain which were kept open on the
Lord's Day, with the number of persons employed in each
post, and in the duties connected therewith, on the
Lord's Day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought that the Hon. Baronet ought nbt to press his ino-

Lion, as the fact was a matter of notoriety, and he did not
see the use of pressing for the return when the fact was
admitted.

Sir A. AGNEW said that motions of a similar nature
had been made with respect to the metropolis, and he saw
no reason why they should not he granted with respect to
the country towns.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said

that there was no objection to the motion on principle, bat
when it was admitted that the Post-offices in the country
were open on Sundays he did not see what was the use •f
such returns.

After a few words from Messrs. Borthwick, Forbes,
Johnstone, F. Baring, and the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer (the latter of whom suggested that, if there was a
division, there was not a sufficient number of Members pre-
sent), the Hon. Baronet withdrew his motion for the pre.-
sent, and fixed it for that day fortnight.

DUBLIN POLICE BILL.

Mr. HAMILTON had that day received a petition re-
specting the Dublin Police Bill, to which he was particu-
larly anxious to call the attention of the House.
Lord MORPETH suggested that, considering the late-
ness of the hour, it would be better to postpone the consi-
deration of the petition to this day.
The other Orders of the Day were then di:posed of, acid
the House adjourned at One o'clock.

Some rumours have lately been afloat among the
clubs that a certain writer, who unites in his own person the
s.'emingly anomalous pursuits of a naval author and an En-
fish barrister, has, under the name of a singularly gentlemanly
title, portrayed the sea-life of a most illustrious personage .
Whether there be any truth in this report we cannot at poe-
sent decide.

TRAGICAL EVENT AT STRATFORD.—On W;,:1-
nesday morning, between one and two o'clock, William Ho %)s,
one of the horse patrol, while on duty near the Pigeons publt c-
house, Stratford-green, heard screams of " murder," and ..on
proceeding to a lane called " Tenfoot-way" he found a female
with nothing but her night-dress on, bleeding profusely I%
the throat. Hogg inquired who had done it, and the fern Cc,
who cou!cl sea-rely articulate, desired him to follow her and sitar,
would point the person out. She then proceeded down the I sa
a short distance, and entered a house on the left hand side, DC -
copied by a jobbing carpenter, named Thomas Cornell. 'll a
officer followed her, and on going up stairs found Corn I d
lying on a bsil with his throat cut, and his person, as well as
the bed elothes, covered with blood. By this time Johns m,
another of the Bow-street patrol, arrived, and perceiving tl ott
both the man and the female, whose name is Mary AusCrn,
apparently in a dying state, at once proceeded to the house of
Mr. Valiance, a surgeon, in Stratford-grove, and havi ag
aroused him both returned without any delay. On the ern, 'al
of Mr. Valiance a watchman had the female Austin in a con. er
of the room. Ile proceeded to bind up the wounds of bot h .

Cornell during the morning made one or two attempts to t
move the strapping and bandages from the wound. The km `sa ,
who was merely enabled to articulate on Wednesday forenot
gave the same account of the tragical affair to both Mr. V; 3-

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1837

Ia the House of Lords last night, the folloming Bills were
brought up from the Commons, al;c1 read a first time :—The
Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill, the Marine Mutiny
Bill, the Millbank Penitentiary Bill, and the Edinburgh Po-
lice all. . _ _

Lord MELeoutt.va intimated to the Duke of WELLINGTON,
that he certainly should not accede to tie wishes of the latter,
zinc! postpone the second reading of the Irish Corporations
Bill ; but, on the contrary, he would fix the 25th instant for
taking the discussion on that measure.
The Trial by Jury ( Scotland) Bill, and the Affilavits Coln-
mission (Scotland and Ireland) Bill, were read a second time.
Lord ALVANLEY postponed, till Monday, the question of
svLich he had before given notice, respecting our Marine and
Artillery forces serving in Spain:
In the House of Commons there was much discussion on a
matter connected with the Brighton Railway ( Stevenson's
"line) Bill. In a petition presented by Mr. CCIRTEIS from Mr.
Mills, an engineer, it was alleged that the parties to this Bill
lad produced false evidence to the House.
Lord MoIiPETH gave notice, that he will, en the Ist of
May, move for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject of Irish
Tithes.

Mr. HINDLE Y asked whether an application had been made
by Liverpool and Manchester for aid by means of Exchequer
Bills. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not answer
the question.
The Right Hon. Gentleman stated, in reply to a question
put by Mr. ROBINSON, relative to the further distribution of
the Deccan prize-money, that when the next distribution
would be made depended upon circumstances.
Mr. ROEBUCK then brought forward his motion for the re.
peal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers. "He made his mo-
tion on the simple ground that the Stamp Duty was an obstruc-
tion to education, and on that simple ground he demanded the
immediate repeal of that impost."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER called upon the Hon.
Member for Bath to allow the Bill of last year to have a fair
trial. "He did not think it wise to disturb the present state
of things,*nor was he at all disposed to fix a postage on News-
papers. On the contrary, he intended to bring in a Bill in
the present Session to relieve Newspapers from the penny
postage which in some cases was now charged on them, be-
cause ho thought that charge unjust, and knew it to be the
source of great dissatisfaction." The Right Hoe. Gentleman
then moved an amendment. After an exceedingly interesting
discussion, in which Mr. WAKLEY (who seconded the motion)
Mr. HOME, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. C. BULLER took part, the
House divided; the numbers were, for the motion 42 ; against
it, 81. Majority, 39.
:air E. CODRINGTON moved for a Return relative to the re-
moval of certain officers from the list of the Navy.
A smart discussion ensued. In the course of which the
,Gallant Admiral being Called upon by Sir J, Graham to state
-specifically the censured individual alluded to by him, named
.Sir Pultney Malcolm.—The motion was negatived by a ma-
Jcoity of 107.

After some other proceedings (which will bo seen in our
Parliamentary report) relative to Mr. Duncombe's motion
for copies of certain surveys of Church-lands, the postpone-
ment of motions relative to Household Suffrage, &c., the
House adjourned at One o'Clock.

A desultory discussion took place last night in the
1-rouse of Commons on the subject of the Newspapers,
on which occasion Mr. WAKLEY made a speech full
of truth and sound sense. Mr. BULLER too,
*spoke on the subject, and most needlessly drew a
ptirallel between the present state of the London and
that of the Provincial Press. Now, without wishing to
disparage the latter, which, whether Whig or Tory, is
conducted, in the majority of instances, with great tact
arid ability, can it for an instant be seriously main-
ta fined that the Provincial Press has that vast intel-
le.ztual superiority over the Metropolitan, which Mr.
B ULLER would have his readers believe ? Where is
there throughout the country Papers conducted with
3.1 f the care, half the energy, "calf the logical power
of the London Press, be it Tory, Whig, or Radical ?
'7Ne are not now speaking as party men, but as men
Anxious to have justice done to all parties. We
trongly suspect that the secret of Mr. BULLER'S
soreness with the London Press consists in the cir-
cumstance that he has at times been somewhat cava-
lierly handled by it. There is a tone of irritability in
his remarks that goes far to justify our hypothesis.
Now a sensible man would laugh at all these " paper
bullets," and act like Sir ROBERT PEEL, who frankly
confessed last night that he had so often seen himself
abused, that he had at length become quite callous.
,For a man to make a figure as a statesman, it is above
all things, and before all things, necessary, that he be
vaned with the hide of a rhinoceros.

The Irish Municipal Bill was read a first time in
the House of Lords last night, and the second reading
'was tixed for the 25th instant. It will be seen from
the movements of certain Tory Peers on this occa-
siou, that the party have a strong inclination to
act, upon the silly plan which is said to have been
suggested by one of their number, more distinguished
for the external than the internal garniture of his peri-
cranium. The said plan was intended to evade the
cogent reasons for passing the Irish 'Municipal Bill,
.ruder the pretence that it was not itself a se-
parate measure, but part and parcel of other
measures relating to Ireland ; and that no deci-
4.;orr could be come to on a part, before the
ter, 'or of the whole was known. The shallowness
of s veil a contrivance is too obvious to require being
pointy '4 out ; for upon this principle their Lordships

would be disqualified from applying any but the
smallest portion of their wisdom to legislative objects,
and what a misfortune that would be to the nation !
If the Peers cannot venture to legislate until they have
the whole of the measures that may be proposed in
in reference to England, Ireland, or Scotland, before
them, they must wait until the House of Commons has
ended its labours before they commence theirs. Should
the Lords, who boast of possessing as a privilege the
power of a veto on all laws, think this Bill a bad one
they will reject it—if not, they will pass it on its
own merits. If they wish to be considered as rational,
beings, this is the course they must pursue ; for all the
world knows that they have not tied up their own
hands from altering and amending to a pretty exten-
sive degree. To say therefore that they will not decide
upon this Bill in case other Bills should be such as
they might not approve of, while they may make those
others what they please, is, to say the least of it, a
very pitiful subterfuge—worthy only of that pitiful
mind which gave it birth.
The Duke of WELLINGTON urged upon Minis-
ters
the necessity of postponing the second reading.
And why, do our readers suppose ? Because it would
not be convenient for Lord LYNDHURsT to be present
on so early a day as a fortnight hence ! So the public
business, the most important business of the Session, for
not proceeding faster with which Sir 808 almost threatens
his MAJESTY'S servants with an impeachment, is to
be indefinitely delayed to suit the convenience of an
individual. The Duke and his man should understand
one another better. May it not be possible that
the hero of a hundred fights is playing off a
ruse de guerre in this instance ? We can easily
believe that Lord LYNDHURST has many good rea-
sons for not wishing to be present at the second reading
of a Bill which must have very few pleasant associations
in his mind. The " alien" slip was the most fatal
one ever made by a public man—it shelved the Noble
and Learned Lord for ever; and then again he must
make up his mind to encounter Lord BROUGHAM,
which is by no means an agreeable anticipation.
It was therefore kind in the Duke of WELLINGTON
to geive him a loop-hole for escape from a rather em-
barrassing position, by pretending that he could not
attend, were the Bill read a second time on so early a
day as the 25th.
As to the gasconade of the Lord Rector of Glas-
gow College about his willingness to accept office at
any expense to himself, he might have spared it.
Every one that knows anything of him, knows
that there is nothing he would not do to
get into office, except to become an honest man.
But he and his friends, the one-half of whom are
Luding him, while the other half arc holding him up
to public reprobation, may rest assured that their services
sill not be required. Lord MELBOURNE and his asso-
ciates will stand by the Irish Corporation Bill as
long as they are backed by the people, and should
the Peers still prove refractory, they will not be
able, do what they will, to make the men who were
placed in the:r pr -_!sent situation by the voice of the
people desert their posts. Such a desertion at such.
a time would be a betrayal of their highest duties.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, received this
morning, bring no authentic intelligence on the only
subject that at present agitates France—the formation
of a Cabinet. THlEns, SouLT, HUMANN, and
PASSY insist on being accepted or excluded together;
and to this the KING objects, as he will not have a
Ministry composed of the members of any one party.
A Cabinet purely Doctrinaire, having its foreign policy
directed by M. THIEr.s, would reduce him to a poli-
tical cipher in the state, and to that he protests he
never will consent. lie will be absolute or nothing.
On Wednesday, after every thing else had failed, the
KING sent for M. GuizoT, and commissioned him to
negotiate an alliance between one section of the late
Cabinet, and some new men whom he named. By
this means he expects to patch up a tolerably strong
administration, from which it is understood that M.
GUIZOT himself will be excluded. The Journal de
Paris of Wednesday—late the ministerial evening
organ of the Government—publishes the following list
of the new Ministry, which it states was handed about
in the best informed political circles

M. MoI6, Minister of Foreign Affairs and President.
M. Montalivet. Minister of the Interior.
M. Bartho, of Justice.
M. Gauthier, or M. Lacave Laplagne, of Finance.
General Bernard, of War.
M. Martin du Nord. of Commerce.
M. de Rosamel, of Marine.
M. Salvandy, of Public Instruction.

This list includes four members of the late Cabinet
—MM. MOLE, BERNARD, MARTIN DU NORD,
and DE ROSAMEL. The cast off Ministers are MM.
GASPARIN, DUCHATEL, PERSIL, and GUIZOT—
of whom two have deservedly obtained an infamous
notoriety for their want of principle, and base sub-
serviency to the Royal will. We are far from cer-
tain that the Ministerial list:inserted above is correct ;
but even if it were, such a Ministry would fail to
command a majority of the Chamber of Deputies.
The Appanage Bill has ruined the public character
of DUCHATEL, and after him, HUMANN is the
only person in France who has any reputation as a
financier. The incapacity of General BERNARD as a
War Minister is too well known to be dwelt upon.
He has no influence, public or private, because he
has no talents to command any. The KING favours
him, as he does every Minister who is content to take
the responsibility of office, without employing the:influ-
ence he derives from it in any way not previously
sanctioned by his MAJESTY. MM. MOLE and
MONTALIVET are neither of them fit to direct the
foreign and domestic policy of France in the present
posture of public affairs. Both are men of considera-
ble ability, but both are notoriously wanting in energy
and decisiveness of character. As subordinates in a
Cabinet, presided over by such a man as TRIERS, they
would perform their allotted parts faithfully, and even
reflect credit upon their colleagues ; but as the nomi-
nally supreme directors of the Government, they will
be but pliant tools in the hands of Louis PHILIPPE,
who will direct them at his pleasure.

The infatuation of the KING is unaccountable on
any principle short of presuming him politically
insane. In his efforts to grasp the sceptre of
absolutism, he has, in the short space of six years,
actually worn out a generation of statesmen, and now
he finds himself no nearer the'object of his affections
than he was at the commencement. Every,domestic
political alliance with him has proved fatal to the
public character of his allies. He delighted to exhibit
to the nation every man revered for the honesty of his
principles in a plight to provoke general distrust and
indignation ; and the upshot of his precious system ap-
pears to be, that without obtaining an iota of increased
stability for his Throne, or adding in any way to his
Kingly power, he has deprived himself of the services
of all the leading :vlembers of both Chambers, who six
years ago possessed an unbounded influence over the
public mind of France. No policy can be more short-
sighted on the part of a Sovereign than that of de-
stroying the political reputation of his Councillors;
unless his object be to bring about a revolution, and in
that case he may calculate upon succeeding to his
heart's content. Louts PHILIPPE is a shrewd,
selfish money-jobber ; but he has neither the ca-
pacity of a statesman nor the mental great-
ness which men associate with the idea of a
patriot King. Thus, to obtain an appanage for
his son, he is content to exhibit his weakness in

the Chambers, and the pitiful amount of his personal
influence over his late Ministers to the contemptuous

gaze of all Europe. To secure 20,0001. a-year
for the Duke of NEMOURS, there is no meanness,
no subterfuge, no prevarication to which he will not
not stoop—and yet there are persons who feign to see
in this conduct evidences of his surpassing wis-
dom as a Monarch ! France may well ask, in what
consists the folly and stupidity of Kings ? And yet not-
withstanding the disgrace which the rejected swindling
clauses of the Appanage Bill brought upon the late
Cabinet and the KlNG—clauses which M. DUCHA-
TEL may well load with execrations for the rest of his
life—the Bill is as unlikely to pass the Chambers now
as it was at the commencement. As for its concocters,
the taint of moral dishonesty can never be removed
from them.

Barcelona Journals of the 4th inst. were received in
Paris on Wednesday. On the 30th ult. CABRERA
appeared before Valencia, and in the presence of the
citizens caused a number of officers, whom he had made
prisoners, to be shot under the walls. As his force
was not strong enough to attack the town, which was
defended by the National Guards, he marched off at
the head of his bands in the direction of Murviedro.
Wherever he went his course was tracked by the
commission of the most inhuman atrocities.

duty to make this decision known to the families interested,
three months from the 14th ult. being the time allowed by the
authorities.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry
were detained longer at Berlin than they expected, owing to
the indisposition of the Marchioness, who suffered much from
fatigue in travelling through Poland during most inclement
weather. The reception of the Marquis and his Lady by the
King of Prussia was not less gracious and flattering than that
they met with at the different other Courts which they visited
this season. They were invited every day to Court--were en-
tertained at dinner at the Palace—and were invited to balls
and concerts every evening. Their stay was prolonged seve-
ral days at Berlin for a particular fete given by his Majesty,
who presented Lady Londonderry with a large jatte of beauti-
ful china, worked in fruit and flowers of matchless execution.
The King at the same time sent to the Noble Marquis, as a
proof of his regard and esteem, a large vase, containing a like-
ness of his Majesty, beautifully executed. These presents are
on their way to the Prussian Ambassador at London, for the
purpose of being delivered at Holderness House.

The only full exposure of Greenaere's palpable false-
hoods, and attempts to evade justice since his sentence, and
the only correct Report of his actual Confession of the
Murder, will be given in the Dispatch. Exclusive particulars
as to the removal of the body by Grecnacre.—Dispatch

LONGFORD COUNTY ELECTION
COMMITTEE-(THIS DAY.)

The Committee assembled to-day at eleven o'clock.
Mr. HARRISON, for the petitioners, then addressed the Com.
mittee. The total number of objections was 499, and the
majority to be now struck off was 94. The classes of ob-
jections were twenty, but the general tenor, or main ground of
objection, was to 243, for insufficiency of value in the lands or
premises out of which they respectively voted. The Learned
Counsel at considerable length detailed instances of intimida-
tion practised on the electors by the Catholic Priesthood, and
several cases in which persons struck off by the Committee of
this House in 1833, had voted at the last election ; and several
others bad been erroneously admitted by the registering Bar-
rister. In the latter case a Committee of the House of Com-
mons was the only court of appeal, and without unnecessarily
occupying the Committee he would at once call the Clerk of
the Peace to facts in the poll-books. Mr. Crawford was then
called.
