SMITHFIELD MARKET.—Yesterday a discussion,'
which lasted nearly six hours, took place in the Court of
Common Council, upon the following proposition, made
by Mr. John Thomas Norris, "That a market tor the
sale of live cattle in the midst of the City is incompatible
with the convenience of persons resorting thither for the
purposes of business ; that the present market of Smith-
field is insufficient in space, as well as objectionable in,
situation; that the safety and health of the inhabitants
demand its immediate removal, and that therefore a
special ward committee be appointed to consider that'
steps shall be taken to remedy the existing evils by pro-
viding a suitable market place." As the discussion was
adjourned, and a number of members declared their in-
tention of speaking again upon the subject, we postpon
our report until the proceedings shall have terminated.
The previous question was moved by Mr. Deputy HickF.,
. ST. MARY-LE-STRAND.--A meeting of the inha-
bitants of this parish was held in the vestry-room, yes-
terday evening, for the purpose of presenting the rector,'
the Rev. J. F. Denham, M.A., with a tribute of their
esteem for his valuable pastoral services. The gift was;
contained in an elegantly worked purse, and Mr. Ten-.
nant, the churchwarden, having prefaced the proceedings
by a speech appropriate to the occasion, concluded by:
presenting the purse, containing 1251. 145., to the rector.
Mr. Denhlm's reply was feelingly eloquent and graceful;
and must have produced a deep and lasting impression
upon the minds of all who heard it. The kind and;
spontaneous manner in which the call was responded to
is a sufficient proof of the high estimation in which the
reverend gentleman is held by the members of his con-
gregation; and when it is considered that St. Mary's
is so small *a
parish, the wonder is that so handsome a

BILL.

On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. REYNOLDS said since last he had the honour
co address the House on this subject be had re-
ceived several petitions from all classes of the citi-
zens against the Bill. He held in his hand a
petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
burgesses of Dublin against the Bill, from the
Grand Canal Company, under their common seal, from
the burgesses and rate-payers of Dublin, amounting to
4,000 in number, both of them against the Bill, and
from the president of the Chamber of Commerce and
from the members of the Chamber of Commerce, against
the Bill.
The SPEAKER intimated to the Hon. Member that
he could not take the course which he proposed, having
on a previous occasion addressed the House on the Bill.
Mr. REYNOLDS would therefore more that instead
of that day fortnight the Bill be read that day six
months.

After a few words from Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL and
Lord LINCOLN,
The House divided on the original question, that the
Bill be read a second time, when there appeared—
For the second reading
Against it
Majority —l6
Mr. REYNOLDS then moved that the Bill be read a
second time this day six months.
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT moved as an amendment
that the Bill be read a second time this day fortnight.
Mr. REYNOLDS objected to the Bill, inasmuch as it
was nothing more than a measure which was concocted
by an attorney in Dublin, with no other view than mak-
ing an enormous bill of costs. He construed it as an
insult to the inhabitants of Dublin to tell them that they
should not be governed by their own representatives,
which was the principle which was involved in this Bill,
but that they should be governed instead by an

THE AUSTRIANS IN FERRARA.
The intelligence of the entry of the Austrians into
Ferrara is confirmed. It is announced in the follow-
ing letter
, which bears the signature of the Governor
of Ferrara :—.

s, Ferrara, Feb. 18, 1849.
"My fears were but too well founded—this morning,
about seven o'clock, the Austrians passed the Po at
several points. So soon as I was informed of this move-
ment, I formed a governmental and municipal deputa-
tion to the General in command to demand an explana-
tion as to the entrance of these troops. General
Haynau's answer to the deputation was that he would
receive it on the esplanade of the fortress. The troops
entered at mid-day, and shortly afterwards the deputa-
tion was received by the General, who gave in writing
a declaration as to the intent of the movement of the
Austrian forces. This declaration says that reparation
is demanded for the cutting off of the communications
with the citadel, for the murder of three Austrian soldiers
on the 7th instant, for the affair of the Austrian Consul,
and, finally, fur the proclamation of the Republic.
" The conditions imposed by the Austrian General are
as follows:-
1r 1. The surrender of the gates of the town
"2. The delivery of the authors of the above murders
in twenty-four hours.
" 3. The destruction of the barriers.
" 4. The maintenance of the troops, said to amount to
10,000 men, during the time Of their remaining.
" 5. The giving up of the military hospital.
"6. The payment of 200,000 crowns, and 6,000
crowns indemnity to the Austrian consul.
" 7. Restoration of the Papal arms.
" 8. Siz citizens to be delivered up as hostages for the
fulfilment of the conditions.

own observation, what is the rule for the application
of the articles. In more complicated rules this plan
w ill be found very efficacious. Generally spEaking,
French scholars can repeat the grammar rules by

they are marvellously at a loss how to apply them.

THE CRITICAL FRENCH PIIONOUNC-
ING VOCABULARY. By Marin de la Voye.
" The writer's object in composing this critical
pronouncing vocabulary was," he tells Iv, " that of
placing within the reach of beginners a small and ac-
cessible volume, within which they could instantly
find the pronunciation of any French letter, syllable,
or word, hi whatever oral situation it might appear.
Being somewhat similar to Walker's Pronouncing
Dictionary, the plan is more familiar to the generality
of English students. French lessons have been col-
lected at the end of the book for the purpose of serv-
ing as graduated exercises in pronunciation." To
those who are studying the French language without
a foreign teacher, this little book will prove a most
useful companion to the dictionary and vocabulary.
The letter a as pronounced in the English words
bar, bat, and bard, e as in her, bed and there, i in pin, o
in no, shot, more, and note, and u in gude, are the
examples which serve very efficiently to regulate the
pronunciation of the French words.

Mr. J. O'CONNELL said bis motion with regard to
the Irish poor-law, was first on the paper. He wished,
therefore, to ask the Noble Lord (Lord
John Russell), as it was the wish of Irish
Members that there should only be one debate on

anxious that certain views should be stated to the
House as early as possible, whether he intended to
bring on the debate on the Irish poor-law on
Thursday next, and if not, whether he could bring it
forward o❑ Friday or Monday?
Lord J, RUSSELL was indistinctly heard in the gal-

!cry, but was understood to say that it was his intentiol
to hriog the &Late on on Thursday; but as tha(. was al
open day for Members, he could not undertake to state
it that would then be proceedei with.
RIVER PLATE.
In reply to a question from Mr. EWART,
Lord PALMERSTON said that a proposition had
been made by the English and French Governments
with respect to the ( xisting disputes, but it had not been
accepted. It was not advisable for a Minister to state
his hopes and anticipations with respect to pending De"
gotiatiuns, but ho might say that he certainly saw no
reason why a settlement should not be made.
LEGAL EDUCATION.
In reply to a question from the same HoN. MEMBER,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the re-
commendations of the Committee on legal education bad
partly been attendyd to, but they had not proved ea'
tirely successful.
Mr. Fdgan and Mr. F. O'Connor withdrew their
motions in order to afford the Hon. Gentli-man ( Mr.
J. O'Connell) an opportunity of bringing on his motion
on Thursday.
Mr. STAFFORD said that the Noble Lord the Meta-
bur for Bath had a notice of motion which stood first
for Thursday. He desired to know whether he would
also give way. Th. notice of motion was a commisiion
to irquire into the practicability and mode of subdivid-
ing, into distinct and independent parishes, all parishes
in Eng etnd and Wales, the population of which exceeds
4,000.

L,rti AS:ILEY said he had so repeatedly postponed
the motion which stool in his name for Thursday, Oat
he could not postpone it.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had no objection to ad-
vise her Majesty to grant a commission on the subject.

different places in Ireland, signed collectively by up-
wards of twelve hundred parsons engaged in the manu-
facture of paper for the abolishing of the duty on that
article.

Mr. BROTHERTON moved for and obtained a re-
turn of the aggregate number of stamps issued for news-
papers in each year, from the Ist day of January, 1842,
to the Ist day of January, 1849, in England and Wales,
Scotland and Ireland, respectively; distinguishing the
number at one penny and at one halfpenny (in conti-
nuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 412, of session
1842).

MARRIAGE WITH

OF A DECEASED WIFE

Since 1835, when Lord Lyndhurf;J: Bill passed into
law, prohibiting marriage with the sister of a deceased
wife, and rendering those marriages valid which had
been previously contracted, considerable discussion has
taken place on the subject, and the utmost uneasiness
been felt among parties who have formed unions in
violation of the law. Mr. Stuart Wortley, it will be
seen, by referring to the proceedings in the House of
Commons on Thursday night, brought in a Bill to amend
and alter the Act of 5 and 6 Wm. IV., cap. 54, his main
object being to legalize marriages of this description.
The religious difficulty principally rests upon the 18th
verse of the 18th chapter of Leviticus—" Neither shalt
thou take a wife to her sister to vex her, Site., besides the
other, in her lifetime." The opponents of the existing
law contend that this verse must be interpreted with
peculiar reference to the prevalence of polygamy among
the Jews, and the jealousies between Leah and Rachel.
All it meant to prohibit, therefore, they contend, was
the taking of two sisters to wife at the same time. The
Chief Rabbi, in a communication addressed to the Secre-
tary of the Commission, states distinctly that the mar-
riages in question are held lawful amongst his people;
that they very frequently occur, and (so far as his ex-
perience extends) almost invariably turn out well. The
Rev. Dr. Wiseman, Pro-Vicar Apostolic of the London
District, says—" Such marriages are disapproved of in
the Mosaic law, but are not, on that account, contrary to
the Christian law." The Commissioners, in their Report
on the subject, say—" We think that very many of the
clergy do not consider such marriages to be prohibited
by the laws of God." In Scotland, the feeling of the
clergy _is decidedly against such marriages; whilst the
Dissenters do not appear to entertain the opinion that
they are interdicted by Holy Writ. Dr. Pusey says,
that the respectable party in the Church, who partake of
his views in matters ecclesiastical, hold such marriages
decidedly unholy. A limited and imperfect inquiry, in-
stituted by private persons at their own cost, has brought
to light no fewer than 1,364 marriages within the pro-

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Mr. G. THOMPSO..N. presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Tobago, praying for the annulling of an
ordinance which had received the sanction of the At-
torney-General in that island, which they believed would
have the effect of encouraging the slave-trade, and that
it might have nu effect as regards slaving vesaels,whether
brought from Sierra Leone or elsewhere.

mi One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
3511510 of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
e:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-

THE " COUNT OUT " LAST NIGHT.-COM-
MITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS.

Sir J OHN WALSH referred to the " count out" last
night. He said he wished to know whether the course
adopted by an Hon. Member last night in counting out
the House was not a most unusual one.—(A laugh.)
It was unnecessary for him to remind the House, that
in the past disputes had taken place, and that long dis-
putes had occurred thereon, as to whether forty Members
had been present or not when a House had been counted
out. It was equally well known, that when debates that
were not of much public interest were before the House,
or were expected, that Hon. Members had exercised the
privilege which they possessed, and moved that the House
be counted. He submitted to those who were
acquainted with the forms of the House, that it was
most unusual for an Hon. Member to move that a
House be counted after one had been made,
and during the time of private business.
If any Hon. Members thought that by obtaining the
counting out of the House that he thereby suppressed
the discussion on some matter, he assured them that
they were much mistaken—(Hear, hear)—as such dis-
cussions would press themselves before the attention
of the House on thousands of inconvenient occasions.
Mr. HUME had intended to have offered some ob-
servations on the subject. He had looked carefully
through the orders of the House, and was convinced
that any alteration of them might be productive of evil
instead of good.—(Hear, hear.) He would suggest
that whenever Hon. Members moved that the House be
counted that his proposition should be seconded.
Major BLACKALL said he was prepared to take a
part in the discussion which was likely to have come
on last night with respect to the passing of auxiliary
measures for Ireland ; but he confessed after the pro-
longed discussion of Irish matters since the commence..
ment of the session, that he expected a disinclination to
listen to them. He denied that there was any truth in the
statement that influence had been used with him to thwart
a discussion upon these matters.—(Hear.) On the con-
trary, he was most anxious to discuss them.—(H ea r.)
Lord DUNCAN relented to a " count out" last ses-
sion before five o'clock, when the Alien Bill was ex-
pected on.
The SPEAKER could only say that whenever an
Hon. Member took notice that there were not forty
Members present, it was his duty to count the House.
—(Hear, hear.) It was not, hoa ever, usual for Hon.
Members to make such a motion before the private busi-
ness had beeu transacted.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL merely wished to observe
hat many of the Ministers frequently came to the House
at four o'clock in order to make up the requisite num-
ter, and returned to their offices whilst the private
business of the House was being transacted.
After some observations from Mr. J. O'CONNELL,
the third reading of this Bill was postponed till Monday.
COPYHOLD TENURE.
In answer to a question,
Sir G. GREY said it was not the intention of the
Government to revive the Bill of last session, on the
subject of copyhold tenure. .

ENTRANCE OF THE RUSSIANS INTO
TRANSYLVA.NIA.

The Austrian Lloyd's, published at Vienna on the
12th, contains the following- from Transylvania :
" On the 20th ult. a mounted peasant took a missive
from the rebel General Bern, to Hermannstadt, summon•
ing the city to surrender, promising that the strictest
discipline should be observed by his troops, and that
neither house nor property should be injured, adding,
however, that he should be obliged to levy a con-
tribution upon the inhabitants. He threatened to raze
the city in case of refusal. The contents of the
letter were communicated to Field-Marshal Lieu-
tenant Puchner, who declared that the citizens must
act according to the beet of their judgment, as he
could not guarantee the safety of the city. The inhabi-
tants determined to hold out, and at once raised a corps
of 2,000 men to reinforce the troops of the line, which
amount to 4,000. The National Guard of Mediarch,
which place has fallen into the hands of the insurgents,
cut their way through the enemy, and joined Puch-
ner's little army. A battle took place, as was re-
lated in a former letter, and though the insurgents
were repulsed from before the walls of the city with
great loss, still it is far from secure. The Saxons and
Wallachians :had long before applied to Field-Marshal
Lieutenant Puchner, as a letter of mine of about the
20th ult. (which never appeared) stated, begging him to
call in the assistance of the Russians if unable to protect
them. The General declared that he could neither gua-
rantee the safety of the city nor apply to the Russians,
as he had not any instructions to that effect. The civil
authorities hereupon applied on their own account
to the Russian Commander, begging for his as-
sistance, which could alone protect their province
and city from being barbarourly laid waste, as
Bern had an army of 20,000 men, the Szeklers
having joined him, although they had just before con-
sented to suspend hostilities, and had actually taken the
oath of fealty to the Emperor. It must be remarked
that these same Szeklers, by their frequent breaches of
faith, have proved themselves worthy of the reputation
they enjoy in the old Transylvanian state documents—
Genus hominurn perversissimum ac infidelissimum.' An-
glice—' A most perverse and faithless race.' The Rus-
sian Commander is said to have replied to the deputa-
tion that he was.quite willing to send troops for the pro-
tection of the imperial property in Hermannstadt and
Cronstadt."

The news of the occupation of Transylvania by the
Russians is corroborated by the papers and letters
published in the Kelner Zeitung of the 16th instant,
where it is also stated (on the authority of some Hun-
garian newspaper) that M. Kossuth has resigned his
dictatorship, or that he has been removed from it.
We ought, however, to observe, that the Hungarian
paper, which the Kolner Zeitung quotes, is in the
habit of bringing false news and exaggerated reports
of the defeat of the Magyar party.
London, England, 1849-02-17

NAVIGATION-LAWS:

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he intended to move
the second reading of the Bill for the amendment
of the navigation-laws; but having received an intima•
tion from the Hon. Member for Stamford (Mr. Harries)
that such a proceeding would be inconvenient to him, he
intended to postpone the second reading until Monday,
March 5.

Mr. RICARDO wondered why there 'should be any
such unnecessary delay. He thought that if postponed
to this day week it would be quite long enough.
Mr. HERRIES trusted that the Noble Lord would
not be impelled by any pressure from behind to proceed
in a' way which must be productive of great inconve-
nience. If from no other inducement, surely respect for
the House would be sufficient.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the prolongation was
only from Friday to Monday, no unnecessary delay
could be imputed.
Mr. WA WN wished to ask the Right Hon. the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he was prepared
to state what concessions Government were prepared to
make in the shape of a reduction of taxation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
not prepared to state now what reductions would be
made, but they would be developed in the course of the
discussions on the estimates.

Mr. HUME thought the Right Hon. Gentleman ought
to answer the question then. Did Government mean to
take the duty off timber, because if they did not, this
measure on the navigation laws would give the foreigner
an advantage over the British shipbuilder, which would
be a most unjust proceeding.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
it best to defer disclosing the nature of the reductions.
The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time
on Monday, the sth March.
ARMY ESTIMATES.

Mr. FOX MAULE brought up the army estimates,
which were ordered to be printed.

NAVY ESTIMATES.

Mr. WARD brought up the navy estimates, which
were ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUME wished to know, in reference to these
estimates, whether Government would lay upon
the table at an early period, and before the discussion
upon the estimates, an account of the difference between
these estimates and those of last year, so that the House
might see what reductions had been made, in accordance
with the recommendation of the Committee which sat
last year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
surprised at such a question coming from the Hon.
Gentleman, who surely must be aware that the esti-
mates were frequently altered before they were passed.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
The Gageta states that the band of Serrat, 400
strong, had been routed in Catalonia, and Ferrater,
chief of a Republican band, had, with his officers,
made his submission. From an article in the Ileraldo,
it appears that Messrs. Rothschild, of Paris, and
Barings, of London, advanced the Government the
funds necessary for the payment of the last half-
year's interest on the three per cent. foreign debt, on
the deposit of the last year's yield of the quicksilver
mines.

A Madrid letter of the 10th says :—" Queen
Isabella has just made General Narvaez a present of
eight millions of reals (2,000,000 f.), as a recompense
for his long and faithful services, and as a testimony
of her personal esteem. The money is to he taken
from a sum of 16,000,000 reals, due by the Treasury
to her Majesty. General Narvaez has expressed his
gratitude to the Queen in the warmest terms."
MADRID Boise, Fut. 10.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 21--4- for paper ; the Five per Cents. at

the " soundness and stability of the concerns over
which he presided." They cannot forget that when
he took upon himself, in conjunction with
the present body of directors, the management
of the concern, the dividends were but 2i per cent.,
and that they have since risen materially ; and as
their object is depreciation—under any circumstances
—they endeavoured to get rid of the board by
the obnoxious resolution. The shareholders, how-
ever, perceived the wily resolution, and the design
met with well-merited defeat.

THE TEETH and GENERAL HEALTH.
It may be fairly said, the state of the teeth depends greatly
upon the state of the bodily health, and the state of the bodily health
depends greatly upon the state of the teeth. The homcepathic prin-
ciple of infinitesimal does in all cases of weakness and nerv,usness is
no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but as-
listed. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its ut-
most extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the Me-
tals. Medica are contained in it, and a small portion being gradually
absorbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but the whole
system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the teeth, gradually re-
moving the tartar, purifies the breath, thereby preventing infection,
and corrects acidity in both mouth and stomach.
