A BAD SIGN.—" Faith, and what do you call
that same thing up there ?" said an Irish labourer, pointing
with astonishment to a hatchment on a noble mansion. "It
must be a sign, sure!" " Of course it is," replied his compa-
nion, with a look of immeasurable superiority, " it is a alga
hat somebody is dead."

At Calcutta the indigo planters have founded a
society called the Planters' Association, which is regarded with
some degree of interest, as giving those persons a new position
in society. It is supposed that from their knowledge of the
interior, the members will have it in their power to present
their committee with information which will be highly useful
when laid before the Government. At a monthly meeting of
the Landholders' Society, it was resolved that these should
communicate with the Planters' Association, and express their
willingness to unite for mutual support and assistance.
LONGEVITY.—Among the provincial papers
received within the last few days, we find the following deaths

' THE JUDGE PRESENTED WITH WHITE
GLOVES IN TIPPERARY.—The present generation have wit-
nessed many strange and important events. Catholic Emanci-
pation, the Reform Bill, and the progress of temperance, may
be referred to as illustrations of the great changes brought
about in our own time ; but we must confess, albeit
that experience had so well prepared us for strange
oecgrrences, we never expected to hear of a Tipperary
Assizes proving maiden, and of a Judge of Assize be-
coming thereby entitled to receive, at the hands of the
High Sheriff, a pair of pure white gloves, as an emblem
of peace, and as a token of congratulation that the exe-
cutioner should not be required to exercise his terrible
functions. The Sheriff upon whom this gratifying duty
devolves is Mr. H. Prittie, and the Judge who has
had the good fortune to be honoured by this singular proof of
the progress of order and civilisation in Tipperary, is Baron
Richards. Not only have the Assizes for the Southern Division
of Tipperary proved maiden—there being no capital conviction
—but there -has net been a single conviction for an agrarian
offence !—Dubliin Evening Post.
BADMINTON.—In addition to the Earl and
Countess of Chesterfield, and the Earl and Countess of Wilton

of the Corn-laws.
CHURCH EXTENSION.—CORN-LAWS.

Harford, in the county of Devon, in favour of Church

against an alteration of the Corn-laws.
CHURCH PATRONAGE (SCOTLAND.)
The Duke of BUCCLEUCU presented petitions
from Edinburgh, Dundee, and numerous other places, in
favour of the principle of Non-intrusion. He also pre-
sented a petition from Dumfries, which he said was of
a very different character, as the petitioners prayed
the House to uphold the present ordinations of the
Church of Scotland, and they complained of the
course taken by the General Assembly as nothing
more or less than an attempt to separate the Church
from the State.
Lord HOLLAND rose to present two hundred
petitions which had been entrusted to him—[The Noble
Lord was here interrupted by]—
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who rose
amidst some laughter, and upon Lord Holland's giving
way, said that he was intrusted with a petition of very
great importance on the same subject It was signed
by 2,000 inhabitants of Belfast, who, considering the
close relationship between the north of Ireland and
the people of Scotland, could not behold without regret
the dissensions which were now rending the Church of
Scotland. The petitioners prayed for the interference
of the House to conciliate the differences.

Lord HOLLAND (in the absence of his Noble
Friend the Marquis of Breadalbane), presented petitions
in favour of Non-intrusion from Dryfesdale, Melrose,
Forglen, Carnpboltown, Killearnan, Kinfauns, Kinross,
Kirtle, Abergaldy, Lochee, Collace, Kinclaven, Gir-
thon, Anstruther Wester, Stirling, Moffat, Thurso,

that prayer complaints of the proceedings in
the Courts of Law of Scotland, others prayed
for an abrogation of the rights usurped by pa-
trons, but at the same time expressed a wish
that the patrons might be compensated for the
loss of any pecuniary or other advantage which
they derived from their presentations. He felt himself
honoured by being entrusted with conveying to their
Lordships the prayers of those petitions ; but he was
not able to say a word as to the merits of the subjeet
L to which those petitions referred.

The Earl of ABERDEEN said the Noble Lord

had used a very wide word when he described the 1
greater part of the petitions as being in favour of the
principle of Non-intrusion. If any Noble Lord would
take the trouble of looking into the petitions, he
would find that scarcely two of them were alike
in their prayer. It would be seen that some of them
simply prayed for the abolition of the present patronage,
others somewhat inconsistently recognised the rights of
the patrons, and prayed for compensation ; and others,
again, prayed for an arbitrary veto in the General
Assembly.
Lord HOLLAND said a few words in explana-
tion, which were inaudible.
IRISH MUNICIPAL REFORM.

Lord FITZGERARD said he had a petition to
present to their Lordships of no slight importance.
Wben he had on a former evening given notice of his
intention to present it, he by no means wished to pro-
pose any controversy on the subject—but re-
collecting what had passed in a former year
when he had presented a petition from the inhabitants of
Galway, praying that they might be exempted from the
operation of ceitain provisions t f the Municipal Re-
form Act. He now took the cpr.-.-tunity afforded by
the intervals between the stages o the Bill, in order
that if any Noble Lord were instructed to express any,
dissent to the prayer of the petition he might have an op-
portunity of doing so, and he bad the honour of presenting
last year a petition from the same place. Its prayer was
in some respects different from the present ; but the
main object was to have the town of Galway removed
from the first schedule of the Bill, which gave to the
towns contained in it the option of having a Corporation
or not. The Bill of last rear differed from that
since sent up with respect to the fiscal powers of Grand
Juries, which it was proposed to transfer to the Town
Council, hut which provision was not included in the
present Bill. The town of Galway did not object to
the public funds being strictly audited—whatever was
his opinion of the Bill, and however much he de-
sired the abolition of all exclusive Corporations—
after the discussions which had taken place, he
was so impressed with the importance of settling the
question, that he should offer no opposition to it.
The Noble Lord said he doubted not that he would be
subjected, as others had been, to animadversion and
reprobation for what was called an abandonment of
former principles. But those principles remained un-
changed, and he was convinced that he was, never-
theless,, taking the right course in not adhering
with stubborn obstinacy to one course. The in-
habitants of the town of Galway had instructed
their Representatives in the House of Commons
to move that it be omitted from Schedule A.
and those representatives had, in accordance with this
instruction, strenuously supported its object. Yet those
Members were among the steadiest and most stedfast
supporters of the present Government. This showed
that it was no party effort. The petition which he had
now to present stated that under the 5 and 6 Will. IV.
the funds of the town had been provided for, and that
the administration of justice, and the appointment of i
Sheriffs, had also been arranged by previous enactments.
They therefore prayed that the town might not be bur-
dened with a corporation—bringing along with it officers
to be paid by the burgesses—and that the town might
he placed in Schedule B.
The Marquis of NOItMANBY could bear a willing
.. . ....

testimony to the highest respectability of the petitioners,
at the same time he had a petition not exactly in oppo-
sition to, but not in accordance with, theirs—for
it prayed that there might be certain alterations
in the provisions of the Bill, but did not oppose the in-
sertion of Galway in schedule A.
Lord FITZGERALD said the petition he presented
comprised the names of individuals who paid nineteen-
twentieths of the whole town rating.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord GLENGALL presented a petition from Clon-
rnel, signed, as he would testify, by three-fourths of the
rate-payers, and a large majority of the most respectable
inhabitants of the town, against its inclusion in the Bill.
MUNICIPAL REFORM (IRELAND).
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented
petitions from the city and county of Londonderry

BRITISH LEGION.

Sir DE LACY EVANS rose to present a peti-
tion from 200 officers of the late British legion. The
Hon. and Gallant Member observed that he would not
trouble the House with entering into a detail of
the statements in the petition, but if the House would
allow him, he wished to make two or three observa-

tions.—(Cries of " Chair, chair.") He threw him-
self entirely on the indulgence of the House.—(Cries
of "Go on, go on.") He wished to correct an erro-
neous impression that had gone abroad, that he
had entered into a contract with the Spanish Govern-
ment for the pay of the petit:oners and the men of the
Legion. That was entirely a mistake. Neither he
nor any other person entered into any contract with
the Spanish Government, but merely agreed to certain
conditions, as any other Government would do. He had
entered that service, as any other soldier would have done,
entirely upon his own judgment ; yet having had the
command of the force, and being the only Member of
that force in the House, he was placed in a peculiar
position, and he therefore wished to make an observation
or two.

The SPEAKER said the Hon, Member ought to
confine himself to the statements of the petition. If
he confined himself to anything strictly personal
to himself, the House probably would grant its indul-
gence.—( Hear, bear) _ _ .

Sir DE LACY EVANS—The observations he was
about to make were strictly personal to himself. Of
course he felt the utmost anxiety to further the settle-
ment of the claims of the petitioners ; but so long us
the success of the constitutional cause remained in
doubt, and until the sum due was ascertained, be felt
that he had no right to bring the case before the House ;
but as that cause was now safe, and as the sum was
ascertained to be 280,0001., he considered that—(Cries
of " Order, order.') He was anxious to abstain from
going into details, but he would call the attention of the
House to the petition after Easter—expressing a hope
that before that time—(Cries of " Order, order.") The
petition was laid on the table.

of the Duke of Wellington. He hail since as-

lington was returned within 24 hours—(Hear, hear,
from the Opposition)—and that the delay had arisen
in consequence of the Secretary being unable, from
his numerous and laborious duties, to prepare the do-
cuments for the press. He had seen the Secretary
that day, and he understood they would be ready within a
fortnight.—( Hear.)
