cipal provisions of the two Bills that he proposed to
bring in. He had not thought jt necessary to go into
the details of tho measure, but he had consulted his
Right lion. Friends, the Lord Advocate of Scotland,
and !he Solicitor-General for Ireland, with respect to
points of registration ; it was not his intention to go into
those points at present, but it was the opinion of the
AttornLy-G,n;eral and the other authorities to which

he had referred that facilities should he give❑ to the
voter, and that the system of registration should be the
Caine in the three kinesclonis.—(Bear.)
Mr. G. PALMER, though he approved of the
general principle of the measure, thought great difficulty
would arise in reducing the number of barristers to 15.
He thought the barristeru, as now appointed, much
more independent than those would be who were to be
appointed by the Government.
Mr. F. FRENCH wished to know whether they
might expect the Government to bring in a Bia for ttie
purpose of regulating the registration in Ireland ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that his friend, the Soli-
cilnr-General for Ireland, would bring in such a Bill.
Sir G. SINCLAIR said that there were many parts
of the Bill which he greatly approved of, especially that
part which restricted the number of barristers.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
The Noble Lord also obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to snake further provision respecting certain rights
of voting in the election of Members of Parliament.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve
o'Clock.

FlRE.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, the stables
attached to theYcrk Hotel, Nicholson-sleet, lately occupied by
the Messrs. Cooke, were discovered to be on fire. But tittle
damage was done. It is conjectured that some one had been
smoking in the stables, and that a spark must have fallen from
his pipe, as there seemed to be no other way in which the Are
could possibly have originated.—Scotsman.
MILLBAY PIER.—It is reported that the Earl
of Mount Edgcumbe and the Sutton Pool Company have reii•d
an opposition to the projected Pier at Milibay, and that a suc-
cessful opposition may ultimately prevent the construction oft
rail-road between Plymouth and Exeter. hi this case,

Southampton will become a packet station, for which Plymouth
and Devonport are much more fitted. We strongly recom-
mend the inhabitants of the latter towns to ascertain front Mr.
Renate, the Civil Engineer, whether our information be

correct ; and if it is, to lose no time in protecting their inte-
rests by a petition to Parliament in favour of Mr. Gill's project.
—Deronport Independent.
BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.—We are
gratified to learn that the cutting of the only tunnel on this
line, has proved much more favourable than was expected.

By a headvvay just cut through for the purpose of draining, it
is discovered that the roof of the tunnel is one continuous sheet

of mountain limestone throughout, without rent or fissure; so
that the Company will be saved the expense of masonry at all,
except perhaps a single bow of arch-work at each end for dis-
play.—Bristol Mercury.
STATE of TRADE.—We are inclined to
think from the information we derive from all quarters that the
extreme point of depression is past for the present year. The
demand for Spring-gloves seems likely to continue longer by a
month or six weeks than was anticipated. Some trilling orders
though few, we hear have been received fer general goods for
the American fall trade, and the houses exclusively in the
worsted hosiery trade, on account of the season being so near
st hand, have begun to give out a little more work—whether
the Autumn demand will justify this movement or not, :time
will show; but the return of partial confidence, even to a small

extent after the depressing scenes we have passed through, is
very gratifying. No alteration has taken place in the prices of
yarns since our last.—Liecestershire Mercury.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY I.—So
trifling have been the transactions of the week in our sugar-
market, as not to require any comment. 'We are entirely with-
oat supplies, and the stocks generally being short, has occa-
sioned a further advance of is. in the other ports.
DEATH OF LORD ASHTOWN.--We regret to
have to record the death of the above nobleman, the melan-
choly i.itelliTenee of whose demise reached the members of the
faintly in the metropolis on ciaturday morning. This venerable
and highly respected nobleman died at Bath on Friday, where
the Noble Lord and Lady Ashton have resided for some
months past. The late Frederick Trench, Lord Ashtown,
Baron Ashtown, of Moate, county Galway, in the peerage of
Ireland, created December 27, 1600, with the remainder to
the heirs male of his father, Mr. Frederick Trench, deceased,
was born. September 3, 1755, and on the 25th of May, 1785,
married Miss Elizabeth Robinson, only slaughter and
heiress of Mr. Robert Robinson, by whom be leaves no. issue.
Ilis Lordship is suciieeded in the title and estates by his nephew
Mr. Charles Mason Trench (now Lord Ashtown). second son
of the late Hon. Francis Trench, born December 25, 1804,
and in August, 1631, married Miss Henrietta Crosby, youngest
daughter of the late Mr. Thomas P. Crosby, by whom his
lordship has a family of three children.
CHARTIST RELICS.---A few days ago, whilst
a boy was engaged in cleaning out the saw pit on the premises
of Mr. John Crabtree, at the top of Parley-street, Bradford, he
found a large horse pistol loaded, a pound canister, containing
a quantity of powder, and between 200 and 300 balls of dif-
ferent sizes. flue whole n ere delivered to the authorities at
the Court-house, and the probability is that they were depo-
sited in the saw-pit on the night of the rising, and by being
allowed to remain so long, the presumption is that they belonged
to some one of those men now in prison, fur the part they took
in that toad enterprise.

sure its stating that their valuable inventions have else gained
the sanction and unqualified approbation of above four hun-
dred of the principal members of the medical profession ; as
also of numerous individuals of high distinction, who have
been greatly benefited by their use. Immediately these im-
proved Spectacle Lenses are placed before extreme imperfect
vision, it is at once brought back to its natural and origins
state, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most mi-
nute particle is seen, either by day or candlelight, with cue
and distinctness. Their Voice Conductor, by which thousands
of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, are not the least

is heard with exact distinctness.-39, Albesnarle-street. Not

three hundred gallons of French brandy on Wednesday, whist,

in Whitby harbour, with a pretended cargo of apples and
onions. The craft was secured by the officers of her Majesty's
