obtrj in the remission of further punishment
on tr he solitary condition of their instant emigration.
Me I ,nwhile, in these instances, the wages of their
lab Dur on the public works will have been accumu-
lati,t ig until the time has arrived for their conditional
discl harge. In all these provisions we recognise
onl:i • the combination of rigid justice and a
nobile clemency. The only point, in the proposition
laid. before Parliament by the Noble Earl, her
Mas esty's Secretary for the Colonies, which to our
thin: king admits of emendation, is the one wherein is
infix nated the " total" abolition of the present system
of tt ansportation. Otherwise the scheme of secondary
punt!ishments undertaken by the Government is as
saga cious as it is benevolent.

to yesterday inserted an article from a cone •
spec: dent on the deeply interesting subject of the
liabi ility of provisional committeemen. In fact, it is
hard ily possible to estimate too highly the great public
incq nvenience attendant on a doubtful and unsettled
state of the law, particularly on a point in which
Buell vast numbers are interested in one way or the
otha r. A period of nearly fourteen months has now
elart ied since litigation commenced between the cre-
ditet rs and individual members of the provisional
CODI mittees of the several schemes which
owo 1 their origin to the temporary in-
san i ty that prevailed so extensively in the year
18415. And it is not too much to say, that greater
dou: bt and uncertainty prevails as to the legal effect
of a ertain acts than at the commencement of that
peril od. In fact, at the time when the debts, the sub-
jects -matters of the several actions, were incurred, and
the proceedings instituted, and during the earlier
trip; Is, no difficulty was imagined; the full responsi-
bility of every single person, who permitted
his name to go forth to the world as a
melt aber of the committee, for every debt
that was properly incurred in furtherance of the
obj t •ct for which he had consented to act, was uni-
vex sally supposed, as well by the creditors as by the
coni mitteemen themselves ; on that faith the credit
wa ! given. No tradesman hesitated to trust a COM-
par/ y that numbered amongst its promoters and
matt aging members persons of undoubted solvency

andi respectability. Every such person was bound

by :law to have an interest in the company as a share-
holii 'er; it was his bounden duty to see that no ex-
pert se was incurred or debt contracted that could
not. be liquidated in due season, and if he neglected
the, duty he so assumed, and suffered the persons, put
fors yard with his consent and approbation as the servants
awl agents of the company, recklessly to involve the
cot t +pally in debt—whether is it more just that he
shoculd be the sufferer, or the innocent tradesmen
wh SO, without any hope of gain save the fair profit on
the, sale of his goods, delivered his property to the use
oft he company ?It has long been justly remarked, that
in r iinety-nine cases in a hundred the decision of law

will be found to be according to that of common sense
an d common justice, and that a man of sound judg-
me nit, wholly unacquainted with law, will arrive at
th t same conclusion, although by a different process
of reasoning, to that which the most learned judges
we culd come to. We should be well contented to
leave the ultimate decision of the question to be
tri i d by this test, and would have little fear of the
res ;alt.

will set labour free, which we hope to see will be
rapidly employed in its primary and legitimate chan-
nel, the cultivation and improvement of the land.
Whilst, therefore, we deeply lament the unavoidable
displacement of labour that has occurred, and enter-
tain a natural anxiety to witness its earliest
restoration to its proper sphere of action, we cannot
too highly extol the decisive resistance which
the organs of the Government last evening
presented to the proposition of the Member for Kil-
kenny. Mr. LABOUCHERE well said, that upon such
an occasion " doubtful, ambiguous language, which
may lead to misconceptions of the intention of
Government, is not true humanity, but is most likely
to lead to deplorable results." The conduct of some
of the Irish absentees, who have been liberal in their
contributions, according to their means, was freely
praised by the Irish Secretary, who, nevertheless,
truthfully remarked, that "he would not compare
anything that could be done by an absentee with that
which it is in the power of a resident Irish landlord
to do, for he is able to encourage and support those
around him, both by his example and his adviee."
Of other absentee landlords Mr. LABOUCHERE did
not hesitate to speak in terms of severe reprobation.
" Some absentee landlords, I am bound to ray, sadly and
shamefully neglected their duty, and, I am sorry to add, I
know many instances like those mentioned by the Hon.
Gentleman, where the resident proprietors have come forward
with their time and their money to assist their distressed
neighbours, and where there are owners of a very consider-
able property held in the district who refuse to come forward
with anything ‘whatever to relieve the destitution of the
place. I assure the Hon. Gentleman that I agree with him
in thinking that the proper place for an Irish landlord, under
the present circumstances of that country, is in Ireland ; but
I must say, that if a sense of their duty to their dependents
and of their public duty to their country does not operate
with them to produce that effect, I am afraid that a resolu-
tion of this House would have very little efficacy to bring
about that result."

We seriously advise those landlords whose proceed-
ings have evoked this trenchant language not to impose
too far upon the forbearance of Parliament. Selfish
apathy may be persevered in beyond the limits of tolera-
tion, and, when too late, the landlords may be dismayed
by the discovery that Parliament will be disposed to
bring them to a due sense of their past and present
errors, by something of a far more stringent nature
than what could be embodied in the shape of resolu-
tions. Lord J. RUSSELL himself intimated, at the
close of his speech, that, upon a future occasion, he
should be prepared to express his views upon this
subject. " Coming events cast their shadows before."

In BARNETT v. BURDETT, the first of the cases
br t ught forward, and which was tried on the 20th of
Ja tatary, 1846, the learned and, eminent counsel
who appeared for the defendant scarcely attempted
to deny his responsibility, and Baron ALDERSON, the
pr, !siding judge, declared, " that there was not the
lea ist doubt about the matter that the defendant was
res yonsible as soon as he became a member of the
pr pvisional committee, and that when a man becomes
a :member of a provisional committee, from that
moment he is liable for the contracts of the
col lapany ; and the man who enters into those
co: atracts for the company stands in the posi-
tio on of agent for the committee." And this view
we is sanctioned and approved of by the Chief Baron on
th• ! trial of WILLTA.ms v. BRADLEY, which took place
the following month, and was unanimously confirmed
by' the full Court of Exchequer, who refused to set
aside the verdict had for the plaintiff. This latter
jui figment, which was arrived at coolly and deli-
be:! ately, after hearing full argument, and without
tho hurry incidental to nisi prius decisions, declared
thri t it was well left to the jury to say whether
the ! defendant, by joining the committee, had
sa»ctioned the supply of goods from that period,
and that there was no ground for disturbing the ver-
dic: t ; and yet, notwithstanding these opinions so
strongly expressed, and at the time so universally
received and acted on, we find the matter again in-
voltved in doubt and perplexity ; creditors tied up,
anal obliged to hold over the actions they have long
sinsce commenced, until the judgment of the Exche-
quer Chamber shall be obtained on the
ve.:rata guestio ; and principles, the reverse of
th, me then put forward, receiving the judicial
sa»ction. We trust most sincerely that some ar-
rai:lgement may be speedily made, by which uni-
formity of decision may be attained ; that it may be
coimonant with the principles of natural justice, and
such as will merit the public approbation ; and that
we may be spared from again finding a jury protest-
ing, as in the recent case of BARKER v. TAYLOR, against
till!. direction of the presiding judge, and stating,
" that if they were at liberty to consider the honesty
of the case, they could not agree to a verdict for the
defendant."

The Augsburgh Gazette of the 28th ult. states that
" after the departure of the Turkish Ambassador from
Athens, the foreign Ministers in that capital waited in
a body on M. COLE TTI, and inductd him to write a
letter of apology to the Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, whilst King OTHo should on his part write to
the SULTAN to explain the subject of difference." The
Paris Presse, however, which copies the above para-
graph, observes that " the fact stated requires con-
firmation."

The Nuremberg Courrier states, that according to a
rumour which was in circulation at Vienna, the Prus
sian Goverrment was about to propose a general law
relative to the press for all the states of the confe-
deration, and to which most of the Sovereigns of Ger-
many had already given their adhesion. It was added,
that this Bill had been communicated to the Court of
Vienna with an invitation to adhere to it. A letter
from Berlin, of the 25th ult., announces Cthat the
Council of State had just terminated the examination
of the measures alluded to above, and that it was to
be forthwith submitted to the KING, with the expres-
sion of a wish that it may replace the censorship now
existing.

Strange as is the proposition, and not less im-
practicable than novel in its character, yet has it not
taken us by surprise, that, when the proper period
for sowing seed had arrived, some Member of the
House of Commons should suggest and call upon the
Government to undertake to furnish a wholesale
supply of seed to Ireland, with the view of enabling
the proprietors and occupiers of small holdings
to invite the people to return to the culti-
vation of the soil. Such was the purport
of the speech which was made last evening
in Parliament by Mr. J. O'CONNELL, M.P. for Kil-
kenny. The staff which would be required to super-
intend all the operations necessarily incidental to
such a scheme for insuring the due application of the
resources, which the Government were hereby de-
manded to place at the command of the impoverished
landlords and tenants, would be enormous, and its
expense proportionably great. The Government,
had the suggestion been acceded to, must have taken
a lien upon the crops. Mr. J. O'Cesissimr. recom-
mended the Executive to compel the absentees to con-
tribute towards the heavy expenditure which would
attach to his plan. The respective replies of Mr.
LAUOUCUEEE and Lord J. RUSSELL were precisely
what we should have thought every one might have
anticipated. Temperately, but firmly, and, we may
add, most wisely, they declined to entertain the sug-
gestion in any the slightest degree. Had they acted
otherwise, they would have undertaken not only what
no Government ever did, not only what it is not
within the power of any State functionaries to accom-
plish, but they would have engendered evils of an
insuperable character. Private enterprise would have
been effectually paralysed, and, from the loss of this
motor of public wealth, the Irish nation would have
been inevitably involved in national bankruptcy.
Because there happens at this moment to be the ex-
traordinary spectacle of 700,000 persons being em-
ployed on public works, it appears specious enough
to propose that this huge expenditure, with which
the national treasury is, to a great extent, tram-
melled, should be directed and allocated to the tillage
of the land. It must be remembered, however, that
the existing gigantic operations, to which we have been
beneficently impelled, to rescue thousands from misery,
famine, pestilence, and death, are fraught with
seeds of destruction to the social system. " The sys-
tem of public works," observed Mr. LABOUCHEEE,
" has grown to such a magnitude as to have become
wholly uncontrollable and unmanageable." What
may be defended upon the ground of temporary ex-
pediency, and has been rendered inevitable by the
dreadful visitation which has spread throughout Ire- '
land, could not be justified, but, contrariwise, would
be held vicious in the extreme, if legislation were
to be resorted to calculated, by measures of a per-
manent tendency, to supersede private enterprise
by means of State interference. All that has
been hitherto done we willingly concede was
indispensable, sed revocare graduni hic labor, hoc opus
est. For this purpose, the first step taken by the Go-
vernment is to administer food in the place of wages
to the stricken population. This is sound policy. It

A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 17th ult. says—
" The EMPERnit has just issued an ordonnance, which
is to be annexed to the military code of the empire, and
which orders all commanders of corps not to require
from such Jewish soldiers as may be under their com-
mand any service during the Jewish Sabbath or feast-

days, so as to allow these men to repair regularly tG the
synagogue."

The jubilee on the occasion of the accession of Pius
IX. to the Pontifical Throne is to commence in Paris on
the 14th inst., and will continue to April 4.
It is reported, that on the 18th ult., the POPE had an
attack of epilepsy, but from which he soon recovered.
It is said that the attack was brought on by grief at
hearing of the decease of his brother, to whom he was
much attached. We are sorry to hear that this excellent
Pontiff has had a sudden attack, but we trust that it
was epilepsy, and that it was occasioned solely by grief
for the decease of his brother. We cannot, however,
forget that every Porz who has attempted to introduce
reforms has been considered as an enemy by the Jesuits,
and has died suddenly.
Letters from the Romagna of the 23d ult. state that
the POPE intended shortly to grant permission for the
establishment of a National Guard throughout the Pon-
tifical dominions. A collision had lately taken place at
Faenatt between the people of the town and the inhabi-
tants of the Borgho, who had been instigated by Austrian
agents, in which six persons were killed and eleven
wounded. The Legato of Ancona, Monsignor RuscoNr,
had caused two clergymen, who were endeavouring to ex-
cite a popular movement, to be arrested and removed under
an escort to Rome. At Sinigaglia another clergyman,
who had preached against the POPE, was apprehended,
and, being considered insane, was confined in the
lunatic asylum of Pesaro. Monsignor Ruscom had
entertained at a dinner the captain and officers of the
Neapolitan war-steamer Intrepido, which had been
lying at anchor for some days in the harbour. This
demonstration seemed to have greatly dissatisfied the
commander of the Austrian squadron, which was cruizing
off the coast. The King of NAPLES had evinced of late
more liberal sentiments. During the Carnival his
MAJESTY appeared in the Corso, with his aide•de-camp,
dressed after the Italian fashion of the middle age, and
bearing the banner of the Lombardian League.

The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris on Thursday.
The Fontento of Barcelona, of the 25th ult., publishes
the following circular, addressed by MANUEL LESCALA,
the Political Chief, to all the alcaldes within his district,
which fully confirms the rumours which have bcen for
some time in circulation as to the force and the
success of the Carlists in Catalonia.

" A band of rebels, commanded, as it appears, by the fero-
cious
Mosen Benet, having appeared in the province of
Lerida, I consider it necessary to give due notice thereof
to the 'inhabitants of the province under my orders,
in order that by their loyal conduct they may escape
the terrible misfortunes which have already begun
to be felt in other localities. Her Majesty's troops are ac-
tively pursuing those misdoers, and wia inflict on them the
most exemplary punishment; but, in order to accomplish
this, it is necessary that the inhabitants should lend their
assistance. This is, moreover, for their individual interest. as
that cannot but suffer from a protracted continuance of such
disorders. In order to prevent such calamities to the extent
of my power, I have adopted the best means of ascertaining
the names of those who fail in this their duty, and they may
rest assured that the guilty will not escape the most exemplary
punishment. I charge you to give this circular the greatest
possible publicity, and to assist its operation by every means
in your power."

Notes reserved 6,016,695

Bullion

Public deposits increase 58,964
Other deposits decrease 484,602

The continued decrease of bullion and increase of notes in
the banking department indicate the restriction which the
bank directors are compelled to put upon their issues, and
should inspire due caution among the mercantile interest,
especially as the exports of bullion continue both to the
United States and to the Continent.
The Money Market is in a disturbed state, and, contrary
to expectation, the funds are more depressed than before the
payment of the deposit on the new loan. The
causes assigned for the sales that have been
made are the unfavourable tenor of the accounts
from France relative to the grain and money markets, the
little difficulty that has arisen in Greece, the willingness of
the Great Western and Birmingham Railway Companies to
borrow money at 4% and 5 per cent., and the specie re-
mittances still in progress. This has been a heavy week,
however, and the heavy payments for bills due and the loan,
ate quite sufficient to account for the reaction. Consols are
as low this morning as 89% % for transfer on Tuesday,
and for April have been marked the same, though
upon the opening of the market they were called 89% to 90.
Consols Scrip has been to % premium. Exchequer-bills
have brought 35. to 6s. premium, being steady. The New
31/4 per Cents. have been 913% to 921/4. Bank Stock was
firm at 204 to 205.
The Foreign Investments have been depressed. Spanish
Five per Cents. have declined to 223/4 %, and the Three
per Cents. to 33% %. Brazilian Bonds have been marked 86
to 87. Dutch Four per Cents, are 921.
The market for Railway Shares has experienced a further
decline. Sales have been made to some extent, and parties
seem to apprehend, that in the event of money becoming
scarcer, they may experience a difficulty in getting accom-
modation upon share property. As in all periods of excite-
ment, too, there are not wanting parties who exaggerate the
difficulty, and by so doing, really create the pressure they
predict. Such is our contemporary the Times, which is again
at its old work to-day, never taking a pleasing view of any-
thing. Circumstances are unfavourable, but why make
them worse ?
