Itli_ET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last week the arrivals of all articles of English
grain for our market coastwise, as well as be land car-
riage, were very small, even the time of yar consi-
dered; and, owing to the then prevailing wet weather,
greatly out of condition. From Ireland and Scotland
scarcely any supply came to hand, bat from abroad the
general imports were moderately extensive, if we except
those of Flour, of which article only ten sacks were re.
ceived. The foreign fresh supplies comprised 17,936
quarters of Wheat, 900 ditto of Barley, 3,294 ditto of
Oats, 7,153 ditto of Beans, 1298 ditto of Peas, and 550
ditto of In
Corn. Fresh up this morning the

RAILWAYS BILL.

Mr. JACKSON said he was afraid the House had
not been in possession of the Railways Bill a suffi-
eietlt length of time to enable Hon. Members to con
alder its provisions ; and he therefore had to as , of
the Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
postpone the second reading.

sail it was quite right that time should be given for
the consideration of the Bill, but it was important
that the measure should be pushed forward as soon
as possible, and he trusted the _House would take the
second reading as a matter of course, on his promising
that time should be afforded for its consideration
before it well into Committee.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, the Bill was subsequently read a
second time, and ordered to he committed on Friday.

quality, most of the samples being extremely 3amp, and
unfit tor grinding, except with a large admixture of
foreign ; however, the stands were t•cantily filled with
samples of both red and white. The attendance of both
town and country buyers being on the increase, the
demand for the finest parcels was steady, at fully the
currencies obtained on Monday last. In all other kinds
only a moderate business was doing, at barely, but at
nothing quotable beneath, last week's prices. At the
conclusion of business a fair eh arance had been effected.
With Foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not
to say heavily, supplied. Fiue dry samples were
in good request at full prices ; but the most inferior
sorts—which formed the balk of the supply on offer--
now much neglected, though we cannot call them
cheaper. For export scarcely anything was doing. The
supply of Barley was very small. Selected parcels of it
for malting purposes moved off steadily at late rates.
Grinding and distilling sorts were a slow sale. Not-
withstanding the arrival of Malt was small, that article
met a very dull Inquiry, and, in some instances, the
currencies were not supported. With Oats we were
very scantily supplied; nevertheless the sale for them wee
in a very sluggish state, at but little alteration in value.
The possession of foreign beans being considerable, that
article declined 2s. per quarter, with a very dull inquiry.
White peas were the turn lower, but grey and waple
qualities were quite as dear. India corn-meal and
Flour supported late rates, without difficulty. Although
the Flour trade was by no means dull, prices were sup-
ported in every instance. Very little fine Flour was in
the market.

this Bill to dissolve the boards of guardians in certain cases
was one they did not now possess ; and in the Castlebar case
they must have gone through the intermediate process of
another election, so that they could not have had a ?aid
board of guardians in less than two months. The provisions
of this Bill gave them the power of so appointing them
at once.
11r. P. SCROPE inquired whether, in case of delay, the
Commissioners were responsible to the Right Hon. Gentle-
man or to Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman's recent
letter seemed to say, that they would be responsible to Par-
liament.
Sir G. GREY said the Honourable Gentleman had mis-
understood the letter, which disclaimed on the part,:of the Go-
vernment the right to prescribe to the Poor-law Commissioners
the mode in which they should discharge the functions vested
in them by law ; but he had never intended to say that the
Commissioners were responsible directly to Parliament. They
were, however, removable by the Crown ; and if the Govern-
ment thought that they failed in their duty it would be for
them to advise their dismissal.

Lord CLEMENTS inquired what means had been used to
provide boilers?
The CiIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, a num-
her had been sent out in the Admiralty steamers, and a great
number of boiling pots belonging to the Ordnance Department
had been put at the disposal of the relief committees.
The resolution was then agreed to. To be reported to mor-
row (this day).
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, as the debate to-night had been
so extended, it was necessary to alter the proceedings for to-
morrow. He had intended to propose, first, the Sugar :in
Breweries Bill, and some other Bills ; but he should now pro-
pose to proceed first with the Committee on the Destitute Poor
(Ireland) Bill, and afterwards to take the other Bills.
ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION PETITION.
The SPEAKER informed the House that he had received
a letter from James Coppock, Esq., as agent to the Earl of Lis-

towel' to proceed with his petition against the return for the

extent .this was: truly, munificent ; and he trusted that
this efficient aid would be continued until the distress
had passed by... What he meant to say was that the
Government could not preventkthe famine; and he never
desired-to assertthat the distress suffered by the poor in
this country was at all equal to that which was to be
met with in Ireland..
REDUCTION OF THE DUTY ON RUM.

The Dukeof. RICHMOND presented a petition from
the landed proprietors, farmers, and other persons inte-
rested in the agriculture of the ;county of Cermarthen,
against- the proposed reduction of the duty on rum.
Also, a petition from a place in Scotland, the name of
which did not reach the gallery, to the same effect.
The Noble Duke hoped the Government would not press
any measure of a permanent nature until the parties
interested bad been heard against the proposition. This
was but just to them, •'as they complained of being
taken by surprise by the measure introduced by the
Government. He felt certain that if the reduction in
the rum, duty was made it would only cause greater
exertion to be made for the repeal of the malt-tax.

certain .papers, which he stated had been delayed in

tinued the correapondence with the Austrian Government

Mr. SMNEY,I7IEBI3BRT conceived that this would
be an alteration of great service in removing an incon-
veniencethat had been x felt in the'Committee of Private
Bills.

Mr. ESTCOURT explained•tha.t this alteration was

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, FED. I—The Chamber of Representatives
continued, and closed to-day the general debate on the
budget of the War Department.
A letter from Ysegen of the 30th Jan., says ;—" You
may judge: of the distress which desolates us when
you are informed that in 1846, we had 365 deaths, and
only 163 births. The typhus fever, it is true, has spread
its ravages in our community during the last year, but
we must remember that the scourge has arisen from the
frightful distress and destitution of the people ; for out
of the 365 deaths, no less than 290 were poor. God
knows what may be the number carried off in the pre-
sent year, but this day on which we write, the 22d Jan.,
we have already had 32 deaths, and among these 28 are
paupers. '

At the close of the year 1846, the population of War-
saw amounted to 165,130 inhabitants, of these 1,527 be-
longed to the Greek Church, 107,962 to the Roman Ca-
tholic religion, 150 to the United Greeks, 44,394
to the Protestant religion, and 33,149 to the Jewish
religion.

DUKEDOM OF LIPPE.—On the 27th January the As-
sembly of the States was opened, with the usual cere-
monies. The first act of the Assembly was, the vote of
a large sum to meet the prevailing distress among the
poor.

COURTRAI, 29Th JAN.—Yesterday, we had a most
fearful storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain and
hail, which occasioned great destruction in Courtrai, and
Ruilers. Trees were torn up by the roots, mills de-
stroyed, chimneys thrown down, and houses unroofed.
It is very remarkable that, notwithstanding all the dam-
age occasioned in different parts, not a single life has
been lost. A miller who was engaged in a mill in the
hamlet of Samoye, escaped with his life, although the
mill was completely destroyed. He however received
several contusions.

cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking only a few.of your Lozenges. I had a
cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for
me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive, rgans.
