same question, full of contradictory charges and party
accusations. For one thing it was remarkable. Both
the Earls of RODEN and WICKLOW recommended that
the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland should be abo-
lished, and Viscount MELBOURNE emphatically declared
that he would not act on their suggestion. He even
warned the Earl of WICKLOW to think twice before he
again recommended the abolition. It is curious to find
the Earl of RODEN and Mr. HUME agreeing on this
point of policy, and Mr. O'CONNELL and Lord MEL-
BOURNE also agreeing in opposition to the other two.
The returns which the Tory Lords asked for are to be
laid on the table.

obtained for the people, without going through the
costly and dangerous process of overturning the
Legislature itself. Our advices from the manufac-
turing districts say there is a strong disposition in
the people, bitterly disappointed by the refusal of
the Legislature to listen to their prayers, to unite
and demand a further reform in the Legislature.
To stifle this increasing discontent the Houses of
Parliament should concede the abolition of the
Corn-laws.

great influence over the Kabyles, had promised to ensure
their submission, or at least their pacific behaviour ; and if
they quit their mountains to make war without profit, and
to the detriment of their own interest, which is, to sell
their produce to advantage, it may be presumed that the
ex-Minister of Achmet Bey thinks to get himself
purchased at a higher price than he appeared to
desire. General Nigrier is regretted at Constantine.
A letter from Algiers of the 16th February, says :
" Abd-cl-Kader has entered Miliana in triumph. The
Marshal has just sent his son-in-law to him, as it is believed,
to renew the negotiations respecting the disputed territory,
that is to say, Hamza and the tribes en the right bank of
the Boudaou. It does not clearly appear what should
induce the Emir, now that he has subdued Ain
Mandi, to renounce pretensions which he maintained in
the midst of his greatest embarrassments. If he persist,
and the Marshal does not give up his project of an expe-
dition to Hamza, we shall have war just at the moment
when the Army of Occupation is reduced from 50,000 to
32 000 men.

A motion was made by Lord REDESDALE to allow
the officer of the House to attend the Court of Queen's
Bench with the minutes of evidence before the Com-
mittee upon the State of New Zealand. It was resisted,
as perhaps leading to an invasion of their Lordships'
privileges. It was represented as necessary to justice;
and as their Lordships did not wish to grant or refuse
such a motion in a hurry it is to be mentioned again on
Thursday.
The Commons did not assemble in sufficient numbers
to constitute a House, and were necessarily adjourned.

We direct the attention of our readers, and more
particularly of the Naval Service, to an excellent
letter from. Captain NAPIER, on the state of the
Navy, and the measures best adapted to improve
it, which will be found in another part of The
Sun. As the letter is one of detail, and as the
suggestions with which it concludes result from
an examination of a number of practical facts,
we cannot here do more than express our entire
approbation of the plan by which he proposes
to render the impressment of seamen as un-
necessary as it is odious to the country.
The Gallant Captain is quite right in believing that
the horror men brought up in the merchant service
have of being compelled to serve on board ships of
the line, is the result of sheer ignorance. It is
like the fear which children have of ghosts and
goblins—phantoms only existing in the crazed brains
of old nurses, but which, forty years ago, were suffi-
cient to terrify half the population of a country
parish, between the hours of sun-set and sun-
rise. Our ships of war were converted into
prisons for the expiation of crime ; for va-
rious slight offences men were formerly condemned to
serve in the fleet by way of punishment ; and in-
stead of recruiting sailors in the regular way, re-
course was had to a murderous system of impress-
ment. The consequence naturally was a very ge-
neral belief among ignorant seamen in the mer-
chant service that the life of a sailor on board a
man-of-war was hardly more tolerable than that of
a convict doomed to eke out the remainder of his
days in a penal settlement.

" Then we shall have lost a-year when we might have
acted with certain chances of success, and begin to act
when the chances diminish. The result of the negocia.-
tions must, in one way or other, fix our *pinions of the
Administration of Marshal Vallee, Which has been variously
judged of. We will not prejudge, yet it is difficult n"t to
perceive that the Marshal seems to have taken pleasure
in turning all the :chances against himself.
"—Gazette, de
France.

We are happy to announce the re-election of
Mr. HARVEY, this day, without opposition. The
Hon. Gentleman, we are assured from his excel-
lent speech, will scarcely have taken his seat, be-
fore' he will convince Messrs. GOULBURN, WYNN,
and the rest of his opponents, that it would have
been more prudent, on their part, to have abstained
from the foolish attempt to worry Mr. HARVEY.

We publish in another part of The Sun the
'Naval Estimates for the ensuing year. The public
will see that a very small additional demand is to
be made for the wages of seaman, the increase
amounting only to 9,0001., implying no increase
of men. The Ministers do not mean therefore to
augment the Navy, considering the number of
seamen already provided sufficient for the pros-
pects of the country. We shall see on Monday
whether the House of Commons, which will by
tliat time be in full possession, we trust,
of the particulars of the insult offered to the British
flag, be disposed to take the same view as the Ad-
miralty. A sum of 49,000/. is required more for
provisions than by the last estimates, which,
as the number of seamen is not to be increased,
must be set down to the Corn-laws, and so
the landlords pay themselves for the bur-
dens they so patriotically have put on themselves.
The increased sum required for stores i 51350,000/.,
a confession on the part of the Admiralty that the
Dock-yards are not, or were not, so well provided
as they ought to have been. The total increase
for the active service above the estimates for last
year is 504,0001. Against which there is a small
set-off on account of the decreased expense of the
naval dead weight. Mr. HUME should look at the
slow progress of the reduction of this item, which
is far from answering the public expectation. It
should be remembered that in proportion as officers
are called into active service, a corresponding re-
duction ought to take place in the half-pay.

COURT CIECULAR.

The Queen honoured Drury Lane Theatre with her
presence last evening to witness the performance of Fari-
nail. Her Majesty arrived at the theatre soon after eight
o'clock, attended by Lady Lyttleton, Hon. Miss Cocks,
Hon. Miss Cavendish, Lord Byron, Hon. C. A. Murray,
Mr. Rich, and Colone Wemyss.
Her Majesty rode out on horseback yesterday afternoon
attended by the Hon. Miss Cavendish, Baroness Lehzen,
Miss Quentin, Lord Byron, Colonel Wemyss, Earl of Ux-
bridge, Mr. Rich, Sir Frederick Stovin, and Sir George
Quentin. The Royal party were absent from the Palace
upwards of two hours.

To eradicate such ridiculous impressions—the
result of a bad system of naval administration—and
to provide a sufficiency of good seamen, Captain
NAPIER recommends the apprenticeship of boys
to be regulated by an act obliging them to serve
three years of their time on board of ships of war,
and thus early familiarize them with the nature of
the Service. The other four years he would have
them serve in merchant vessels—and thus a ma-
rine force would be reared up capable of serving on
board ships of any description, and fully adequate
to every emergency. In this we entirely agree with
the Gallant Captain, as well as in the simple and
practicable plan which he proposes for enabling
the Admiralty to double the number of
ships in commission on any sudden emer-
gency. Something must be done, and that
speedily. On the question of abolishing im-
pressment the public mind is made up ; and there-
fore the Admiralty cannot be in too great haste to
provide a substitute. It may appear an exaggera-
tion to many who have taken no trouble to inquire
how the public pulse beats upon this question, but
we verily believe that the forcible impressment of a
British subject under the direct sanction of the
Board of Admiralty, would at present excite an indig-
nation as loud and as dangerous as if that very Board
was arbitrarily, and of its mere motion, to order
such a subject to be whipped naked from Whitehal
to the Royal Exchange, and lose his ears into the
bargain. Impressment must follow the punish-
ments of the pillory and the branding-iron. It be-
longs to an age of ignorance and of force, and must
perish with the barbarous institutions by which
only it could be supported, and with which it can
only co-exist.

The Tories continually reproach the people with
desiring Reform, as if all our institutions were per-
fect and could not be improved. The reverse of
their supposition is, however, correct, and no sooner
does an individual of common talent, devote his at-
tention to any particular institution, than he per-
ceives it to abound in faults. No person ever has,

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE

LOR, though he is connected with the Liberal party,
of being a hasty and eager Reformer. No Court
has occupied more attention than his Court for the
last few years, and perhaps, no Court has been so
much enlarged and improved ; yet this careful
Judge bore the following testimony last night, to the
mode in which some part of the business of his ju-
risdiction is managed :
" With respect to the Courts of Equity with which he
(the Lord Chancellor) was more particularly conversant,
nothing could be more inconvenient, and nothing more de-
fective, and nothing more expensive than the course at
present in existence of carrying into effect the every day
preceedings of a Court of Equity."
The Noble and Learned Lord quoted the matter
of Lunacy as an example, and concluded his
remarks by saying, that every thing was to be
done relating to business in the Court of Equity,
by persons especially selected for the purpose.
Lord LANGDALE afterwards confirmed by his re-
marks the LORD CHANCELLOR'S statement. The
latter Noble and Learned Lord indicated, as a cure
for this, the establishment of Local Judges in
every county, concurring in principle with Lord
BROUGHAM, who has been a zealous advocate for
carrying justice home to every man's door. Lord
BROUGHAM had just before, and on very good
grounds, urged on their Lordships the propriety of
trying the utility of a public prosecutor, and of
beginning by assigning one to the Central Criminal
Court. His Lordship, in fact, was as severe nearly,
on some parts of our civil and criminal jurisdiction,
as the LORD CHANCELLOR was on the jurisdic-
tion in equity. Now, when Learned Lords like
these so clearly expose the numerous faults and

Seamen before the mast are like every other class
of artisans. If they are sufficiently numerous
their services are always to be had by paying for
them. Offer them an adequate remuneration for
their time, and the perils to which they may be
exposed, and there is no fear of their refusing to
serve willingly. Everybody knows that they are
not often remarkable for their habits of economy on
shore, so that few of them could resist the tempta-
tion of a trifling bounty. And wherefore should
they not receive such a bounty as well as recruits for
the land service ? On what principle of fairness is
it allowable to bait with gold to catch a soldier,
and to employ a press-gang, a gag, and a ropes-
end to entrap a sailor? If favour be shown at all,
it ought to be shown to the service which
most contributes to the glory and the safety
of the country—to the Navy over all others.
In fact we can have plenty of sailors if our
rulers will only go the way dictated by common
sense, and the spirit of a more civilized age, to rear
and maintain them. And were a proper system esta-
blished, this could be done at an expense not ex-
ceeding what the country now pays for the mainte-
nance of a fleet in a state of deplorable inefficiency.
As if to cripple the service as much as possible,
there exists an absurd and oppressive regulation, by
which, according to the testimony of the Hon.
Capt. BERKELEY, the services of from 300 to 400
of the very best and most generally useful men
are lost to the country. " You will not allow men,"
says the Right Hon. ex-Lord of the Admiralty, in
his letter to Sir JOHN BARROW, "who receive a
pension for twenty-one years' good service, to serve
in the Navy. You force them out of it, by
refusing the enjoyment of the pension whilst
they continue to serve. And it is to be remembered
they are the most valuable class, generally speaking
—quartermasters, captains of the forecastle and
top, in short the leading men in a man of war,
nursed and educated in the service ; practical, expe-
rienced gunners—men invaluable in the formation of
a ship's company, in full vigour, and scarcely past
the prime of life. Commencing their time for a
pension at the age of twenty, they are, at forty-one,
forced to quit the service in consequence of this
most absurd regulation." Here we see one of the
beauties of the present system in full bloom. To
increase the chances of saddling the country
with a fresh pension, a good seaman is discarded,
and perhaps the barbarities of impressment put in
requsition to replace him by a man who does not
know a mast from a marling-spike ! And this,
forsooth, is economy and retrenchment!

DEPARTURES.
Admiral Sir John and Lady Lawford, from the London
Hotel, Albemarle-street.

If we take the opinions of certain Irish Peers as
a specimen of public feeling in the sister kingdom, the
Irish must indeed be a hard-hearted people. In this
country the public are generally pleased to hear of a
mitigation of punishment, and, even if carried too far,
give credit to the Home Secretary for humanity ; but if
we are to judge from the incessant attacks made against
Lord Normanby, this quality on the other side of
the Channel is considered a great crime. It would be
unfair however to the Irish nation to judge them by
such a test. Though Lord Roden last night expressed
joy that the Noble Marquis was no longer Viceroy, the
great body of the people at his departure evinced the
greatest sorrow.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
will entertain their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, and a distinguished party, at din.
ncr on Saturday next. Her Royal Highness has a select
circle after dinner.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who
was expected at Kensington Palace on Friday from Kin-
mell Park, the seat of Lord Dinorben, has delayed his de-
parture from North Wales for a fortnight. Lord John
Churchill came up from Kinmell on Thursday last.
FASHIONABLE PARTIES.—Lord Carrington
entertained the Countess of Blessington, Count D'Orsay,

place. The Earl of Harrowby had a select party to dinner
on Monday evening, at his residence in Grosvenor-square.

prevent its occurrence, and yet, as far as we can learn, not
one effort was made to suppress the tumult or sake the
ringleaders into custody, the battle being fought within
two or three miles of the residence of that prince of just-
ases, Mr. Cresswell, without his troubling himself at all
about the matter, though he has no objection to ride ten
or twenty miles every week to send an unhappy poacher to
prison, and to excite the indignation and contempt of
those who witness his cruelty and ignorance. Had the
Magistrates declared the demoralizing spectacle should
not take place, Leicester, Ashby, and the neighbouring
towns would not have been so filled with thieves and black-
guards as they were on Sunday and Monday, and many
persons would have been in possession of property which
those scoundrels contrived to plunder them of, several
robberies having been committed. Lord John Russell con-

PRESSING HORN.—IIOII loses its rigidity by
the application of heat; and it does so, not only in a degree
sufficient to allow of its being slightly distended, or even
opened out for lamination as above described, hut by
proper treatment it becomes so soft and plastic as to be
readily cut like leather, with a knife, and moreover to ad-
mit of being moulded into an immense variety of patterns.
This important property of the material, in other respects
so valuable, has been largely taken advantage of by the
manufacturer; and among the various operations of the
artisan in the workshops of Sheffield, that of pressing horn
is, perhaps, one of the most striking to a stranger,—

vices of the system, and when their condemnation o

it is wafted by the Newspapers over every part of
the empire, how can the suffering poor, the
over-wrought and under-fed artisans, who know
nothing of the Constitution but its taxes and its

restrictions, to whom it always appears as condemn-
ing him to punishment or to poverty, regard it with
approbation and honour ? It is impossible, and
the longer the people suffer as at present, and the
longer Noble and Learned Lords can so speak of
any parts of our laws and institutions with justice,
the greater will be the growing dissatisfaction, and
the greater the public danger.
_

How are these things—to be remedied ? That
n-actical question should be solved by Parliament.
But Parliament rejects the task, refuses to
redress the grievances and the wrongs of _ the
people, and proclaims itself, by adopting Lord
Howicx's conclusion, capable of doing much
mischief, but impotent to redress even the
injustice it commits. We fear there is no re-
medy to be found. What healing time may bring
on its wings cannot be foreseen. Our Legislators,
in truth, seem to be working in the wrong direction ;
they are multiplying the officers and dependents of
Government, spreading wider and wider the sphere
of its operations, making it penetrate deeper and
deeper into all the businesses of life, and so
continually increase the labours which ex-
perience has already proved it is inadequate
to perform. It seems to have no higher object, no
better rule of conduct, than to imitate the Govern•
ments of the Continent. They provide for every-
thing, and our Legislature is following in their
wake. We might suppose from this that one civi-
lized nation can no more go far ahead of another in
politics and morals, than in mechanics and litera-
ture. All our arts are now transplanting to the
Continent, and in turn we are importing their arts
of Government. We have their police, and soon
we shall have, under some rural title, a field gen-
darmerie. Inspectors of all kinds are as common
now amongst us as in Russia ; and there is a dis-
position to multiply them. Lord, BROUGHAM now
proposes a public prosecutor, as in France, and dis-
trict judges, as in French towns. We give no opinion
on the utility of these changes ; we only say that in
adopting them we are imitating, and appear con-
strained to imitate other nations. It would hence
appear that in politics, as in the common arts, civi-
lized nations march side by side, one retarding or
helping forward another, and all making a common,
if not exactly a uniform progress.

The Paris Papers of Monday, have reached us
in due course. The representation of the second
arrondissement of Paris, is contested by MM. LE-
FEBVRE and LAFITTE, the former the shadow of the
Ministry, and the latter alternately a Republican
and a Monarchist, but at present a supporter of the
Opposition. Both have addressed the electors, and
both in the strain of the parties which they repre-
sent. In the Provinces, the electoral struggle
is carried on with great animation. The ge-
neral impression is, that the Ministers will
be in a decided minority at the opening of
the Chambers. The elections will commence re-
gularly on the 3d of March.

Our advices from Brussels confidently anticipate
a peaceable settlement of the Belgian question. It
is calculated that nearly two-thirds of the Deputies
will vote in favour of the treaty with Holland.

Letters from Bayonne of 22d inst. state as fullows:
" The arrests which lately took place among the Chiefs
of the Carlist army were ordered by Gen. MA ROTO,
who had not even consulted Don CA Rims on them.
CASTOR and CA RMONA were believed to have been
likewise arrestld. MA ROTO'S enemies insinuated that

he had of late kept up a frequent correspondence
with General ESPARTERO, and observed the strange
coincidence existing between the prorogation of the
Cortes and the events that had just occurred in the
insurgent provinces. They inferred from it that a
plan had been concerted between the two Generals-
in-Chief, of which the execution depended on the
silencing of the tribune in Madrid and the arrest of
the Provincial Chiefs.
" It was said, that on the 15th something extra-
ordinary had occurred, and several Chiefs were to
be arrested. On the 17th, the Generals SANZ and

The notice which Mr. DUNCOMBE gave on
Monday, relative to administering relief out of the
workhouses, is in these words :
" To move the following resolution :—Whereas those
Laws and Regulations which prevent the relief of the Poor
out of Workhouses, have no other justifiable object than to
teach the labouring classes to rely on their own resources :
_And whereas, this lesson is but an insulting and cruel
mockery, so long as the labouring classes are deprived of
their greatest natural resources by laws which forbid them
to exchange their labour for the cheap food of other
countries :—And whereas, when unfruitful seasons and the
Corn-laws together, render bread dear, the Landed mono-
poly flourishes at the expense of
,all other interests, while
the Poor suffer especial and deep distress :—Therefore,
whenever the price of the quartern loaf exceeds seven-
pence, and the wages of common labour do not exceed two
shillings a day, humanity, justice, and policy, alike demand
the suspension, for the time, of all Laws and Regulations
which tend to prevent the relief of the Poor out of Work-
houses."

RIZA, Commandant-General of Guipuscoa ;
the Brigadier CARMONA, and some other supe-
rior officers, had been arrested and conducted by
order of MAROTO to the prisons of Estella. If we
are to believe the Estella versions, SANZ,
GUERGUE, URIZ, GARCIA, and CARNIONA, wer,e
shot a few hours after their arrival in that town."
There is but little news from the army of the
North. ESPARTERO travels to and fro between
Haro and Logrono, paying more attention to the
proceedings at Madrid than those of the enemy.
News has been received from Africa by the Ramier, that
a new rising of the Kabyles had rendered the communica-
tion between Stora and Constantine extremely difficult.
The escorts are now far from being sufficient, and the
works must be suspended, so long as the hostilities of these

Now this is excellent in its application to the
Corn-laws, and we hope many other Members will
follow so good an example. Mr. HARVEY when
he is restored to Parliament, as we trust he speedily
will be, will know how to draw up a biting resolu-
