houses with, would be made in some way favourable to the
landlords of Ireland.
After a few words from Lord CLEMENTS and Mr. liAhhU,,

Lord JOHN R US SE LLvadmitted that the case of Ireland
was different from that of England. In England, the only
new expenses incurred were those incurred in the erection
of workhouses. In Ireland, however, there was a new rate
about to be established, and there was also the expense to
be incurred by the erection of workhouses. He certainly
thought that in consideration of these circumstances there
should be some case allowed with respect to the payment of
the interest. He would not undertake to say that the sums
should be advanced without interest during the whole time,
but he hoped to be able to propose some ease with respect to
the payment of the interest, or by postponing its payment for
a limited number of years.
Mr. O'CONNELL said that there were already enormous
expenses saddled upon the counties of Ireland, and he thought
that at least one-half of the money ought to be advanced as a
grant, and that the remainder should be paid by small instal-
ments. Ireland could not afford so much taxation as this Bill
proposed to subject the country to, and supposing this measure
to he an experiment, he thought this proposition by no means
unreasonable.

Mr. WYSE, Mr. W. ROCHE, and Mr. REDINGTON con-
curred in the proposition of the Hon. Member for Dublin.
Sir G. SINCLAIR thought that, if the measure, as had
been said, was unpopular in Ireland, it was by no means likely
to be extremely popular in Scotland.—(A laugh.)
Sir T. ACLAND thought that, as the measure was pro-
posed for the purpose of producing a healthy state of things
in Ireland, the object of all parties ought to be to make it as
palateable and successful as possible.
After a few observations from Lord CLEMENTS and Lord
EBRINGTON,
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN said that, while the principle of
Poor-laws was generally admitted; the feeling of Ireland was
quite hostile to the system of workhouses, which they looked
upon to be nothing more nor less than bastiles.
After a short conversation, the clause was agreed to.
Clauses down to clause 95 were then agreed to, with some
verbal amendments.

Clause 96 was postponed for future consideration.
Clauses up to 100 were then disposed of, the House re-
sumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to
sit again to.morrow (this day).
FIRST FRUITS AND TENTHS BILL.
Mr. BAINES postponed his motion on First Fruits and
Tenths Bill to the third reading.
The Report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be
engrossed.
The other orders and motions were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at a Quarter to One,

AFRlCA.—According to the last census, the popu-
lation of the city of Algiers amounted, on the Ist of January,
1838, to 25,972 inhabitants—viz., 7,576 Europeans, 12,332
Moors, and 6,065 Jews. The returns sent in by the mar"
of the rural districts state the European population to be 2,207
inhabitants within their jurisdiction, which, added to the 7,575
of the city, constitute a total of 9,782 individuals.—Moniteur
Algerien. .

On Thursday, the 22d of March, the youthful,
accomplished, and rich Mademoiselle Resale Aglae Faire,
only daughter and heiress of Monsieur Louis Faure, St.
Peray, department de l'Ardeche, will be united in marriage to
Monsieur Le Comte Napoleon Lepic, of Andrisy-.park, near
St. Germains. The bridegroom is eldest son of the late
Count Lepic, one of the faithful Generals of the French em-
pire, and godson of Buonaparte.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 16.—The
anxiety of the merchants to sell, has in every market produced
a further depression, and the same apprehensions which have
led to the determination on their part to get rid of their
stocks, prevent the buyers adding to what they already bola-
-Bristol Gazette.

On Saturday night the various engines of the Lon-
don Fire Brigade were on the move towards Walhair.grcen,
when they ascertained that the flames which illuminated the
horizon proceeded from Wimbledon-commen, the furze 00
which it was conjectured had been wilfully set on fire. Three
engines only went on to the scene of destruction, where, on
their arrival, they found those of Putney, Wandsworth, and
Roehampton. Their endeavours to arrest the progress of the
flames were rendered unavailing by the strong wind which
carried the fire over the whole of the common.
ALL FOR LOVE.—Towards the close of the late
storm, a young man, farm-servant with Mrs. Burnie, Clarence-
field, had occasion to cross the Annan, and with this intent he
stepped upon the ice at that part of the river adjoining the
Rotchall Inn; but as the place was partially frozen, it gaye
way beaeath him, and the youth was plunged into the nve,r,
and in the greatest danger of losing his life. It so happe'aed
that one of the servant girls of the house saw the lad enteir the
river, and as he did not in due course appear on the
p• posi
side, she concluded that all was not right. She instantly
flew, therefore, to the water-side, and found the yrJuth cling-
ing to the broken ice, and in the greatest peril.. " Should
you be drowned, my lad, I'll share your fate," exclaimed the
heroic lass, and at the first bound, she plunged in to the neck,
and threw forward her apron, which was seized by the
sufferer, and was the direct means of saving him from slum-
bering in the Annan. The rustic Correspondent who send S
us the above facts adds very innocently--" It is plain that
these two persons must have been courting, or she never
would have risked her life to save his on such a hazardor4s
attempt. "—Dumfries Courier.
The indefatigable and amiable Cornish histririan
the Rev. Richard Polwhele, died at his residence in P finces-
street, Truro, on Monday, the 12th inst. Mr. I) olwhele's
chief works were his " Cornish Worthies," and 11',9 poem Of
" Isabel ;" but his minor literary labours were all but innumer-
able. Of anecdotes of his contemporaries, and of the current
literary ana of the day, he was an iniustrious collector, and
this his favourite pursuit brought him into epistolary commu-
nication with most of the eminent men of the last and present
century. Mr. Polwhele, who was in his 79th year, was vicar
of Newlyn, and a me.gistrate for the county.
HASTINQS.—A Coroner's Inquest was held Oil
Thursday last at the Pelham Arms Inn 'on the body of Lieut'"
General W. Miller, Director-General of the Royal Artillirft
&c., when it appeared that the deceased had for some time
contemplated self-destruction, and had attempted to put ad
period to his existence by means of poison before he quit°
Woolwich. The deceased left his residence in Denmark-place
about twelve o'clock on Tuesday, having previously engege.'
to dine with Major Saunders, of his own corps, now living 1-
„
Pelham-crescent, but not returning within the given time,
Miss Miller, his daughter, at three o'clock, made a commu-
nication to Major Saunders, to the effect that she we°
alarmed at her parent's absence." The crier was immedi-
ately sent through the town, stating that a gentleman of the;
description of the deceased (as given by his friends) "I.`g
missing. Much excitement was thereby caused, and es"-1
effort was made to find him, but he was not discovered nut,'
the ensuing morning, when the Hastings and St. Leonard °
harriers discovered the body, though not dead, in a shag
near Hastings. When found it was discovered that tots throat
was dreadfully cut ; and before he could be remove,d from 0°
spot, he had ceased to breathe. The evidence clearly esta"
blished that the unfortunate gentleman had committed tne
deed while labouring under temporary insanity. The jury re-
turned a verdict accordingly.—Sussex Express.
