The Morning Herald of this day, speaking of the Minis-
terial defeat last night in the Commons, says :—" Will
Ministers, after such a disgraceful discomfiture, resign?
Not they indeed 1 They will talk of Tory obstructive-
ness,' and dilate en the perilous condition of Ireland; but
instead of throwing on their antagonists the responsihity
of governing the country on Conservative principles. the
present high-minded advisers of the
Queen will cling to
off cc with more desperate tenacity than before."--The
Morning Advertiser, in a leading article on the Corn-
laws, remarks as follows :—" The battle of the Corn-laws
rapidly approaches. The question will be brought before
Parliament on the 31st instant by Mr. Villiers. The
Corn-laws have become the great popular question of the
day, and Parliament can no longer evade its difficulties as
formerly. They must be met and grappled with, or agita-
tion will go on increasing to the great danger of the peace of
the kingdom. The manufacturers, merchants, traders, and
almost every class not directly engaged in agriculture, are
clamorous for some alteration."—The Morning Post
thus expresses itself on the subject of Lord Stanley's Irish
Registration Bill :—" Tile object of Lord Stanley's Bill
for the amendment of the system of registering the parlia-
mentary constituency of Ireland is simply to cause that to
be done honestly which hitherto has been done dishonestly.
Nothing can no more certain, and few things relating tsa
Irish affairs are more notorious, than the monstrous frauds
which now take place in respect of the registration of
voters. All that is sought by Lord Stanley's Bill is to put
an end to those frauds.—The Morning Chronicle thus al-
ludes to the result of the debate last night in the Com-
mons :—" We deeply regret this result, calculated as it is
to generate the worst feelings in Ireland. The bill is
known in that country to have been devised with no ocher
view but to multiply and increase the already too numer-
ous embarrassments thrown in the claimant's way by the
existing law. We protest, had we not seen the ominous
name of Stanley on the back of the parliamentary
paper, we should have felt the strongest assurance,
from the nature of its provisions, that his hand, and his
alone, had framed so malign a Bill."

ROBBERY ON THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY
—lnformation having been given by the Right Hon. Robert
Steuart, one of the Lords of the Treasury, of a mysterious
robbery of bank-notes, which took place on the Birmingham
Railway, Serjeant Otway of the A division of police, was im-
mediately despatched to Birmingham to investigate the mat-
ter. It appeared that last week the Right Hon. Gentleman,
accompanied by his lady, left Preston by the train for London,
having engaged a truck for the. conveyance of their carriage,
in which was placed a quantity of valuable property and cash.
On reaching the station at Birmingham the Hon. Gentleman
inquired of the Railroad Police whether the property would be
safe. Being assured it would, he, accompanied by his lady, re-
tired to the refreshment-room. After remaining there a short
time Lady Steuart sent to their carriage to obtain a reticule,
but found it had been abstracted. The hag was known to
contain one ten and four five-pound notes, besides gold, silver,
and other articles. On Sergeant Otway arriving at Birming-
ham, ho used his utmost vigilance, without obtaining the slight-
est clue to the robbery. The porters and other persons em-
ployed by the Company had undergone a strict search as soon
as the loss was discovered. The numbers of the notes being
known, they were stopped at all the local and London banks.
