in the service. The Noble Lord exulted at these
successes, as a refutation of those who had sup-
posed that our officers and seamen had degenera-
ted, and said of Sir R. STOPFORD that were he
to go through the whole of his services
he must give the history of the Navy for sixty
years. Thanks for such valuable services were
all that the House could give, but he trusted that
those who had the power would bestow more
substantial rewards.
The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his cor-
dial concurrence in the vote, but stated that it
was an unusual occurrence for ships to take forts,
and warned their Lordships not to rely on similar
success in future. We think the Noble Duke
rather over-rated his own profession, and was ra-
ther oblivious of the former services of British
fleets. The Earl of MINTO reminded the Noble
Duke of Algiers, and might have mentioned se-
veral other, if minor, instances of forts battered
and captured by British ships.
The Earl of HAspwicKE, a naval, and Lord
HILL, a military man, expressed their cordial
concurrence in the vote ; and the Noble Lord
properly alluded to the gallant conduct of Sir
C. SMITH. The motion was agreed to non. con.,
and the LORD CHANCELLOR directed to commu-
municate the thanks of the Peers to the Officers
mentioned.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presente! a Third
Report on Earl CARDIGAN'S case. It referred to
the fitting up of the House, and stated that seats
would be provided for 640 persons.
Lord BROUGHAm, in presenting a petition from
Leicester, for relief from Church-rates, inquired
whether Ministers had any intention of intro-
ducing a measure for giving relief to the Dis-
senters. Lord BROUGHAM properly pointed out
that the Magistrates began to complain of the
disagreeable duty of enforcing Church-rates.
Viscount MELBOURNE was not able to give any
answer to Lord BROUGHAM'S question.
Lord BROUGHAM afterwards defended the Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council from some
strictures which the Conservative Sir E. SUGDEN
had made on it in the House of Commons, and
showed that it had sat in 1840 thirty days, while
it had been asserted that it had sat only eighteen.
The Noble Lord obtained some returns to show
how often the Court had sat in each year since
1834.

In the Commons, Mr. GLADSTONE for Walsall,
Mr. SMYTHE for Canterbury, and Lord EASTNOR
for Reigate, took their seats.
Mr. HODGSON HINDE moved that the sum
of 101. per cent., required by the Standing
Order No. 32 to be deposited on all railway un-
dertakings before the Bill be brought in, should
be reduced to 51. per cent. The Hon. Member
grounded his motion on the great impediment the
order was to the construction of railways, which
bad been much impeded by its operation.
Mr. LABOUCHERE, without being inimical to
railroads, thought it his duty to oppose the mo-
tion. The rule had worked well, and, as a proof
that it did not interfere with making railways,
there were 58 notices of Bills for new railways.
Mr. WARBURTON, who was so instrumental, we
remember, in breaking up two or three bubble
companies, also opposed the motion, and stated
that since the rule was laid down 68 Bills for
railways had passed, and 55,000,000/. of capital
had been invested in them.
Mr. BROTHERTON took the same side, and
stated that a Railway Company had obtained a
Bill to pass through Salford, which contained a
clause making it optional to them to complete
the railway, in consequence of which land there
could not be disposed of.

Mr. O'CONNELL and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
supported the motion ; the latter wished that the
period for making the deposit should be before
the works were begun, not before the Bill was
brought in.
Viscount HOWICK and Mr. FRESHFIELD spoke
against it, and Mr. HINDE'S motion was lost on a
division by 15 to 144.
Mr. O'CONNELL announced his intention to call
Cle attention of the House to the State of Texas
on. the 18th instant. If the Hon. and Learned
Grontleman would take a hint from us, we would
rec ommend him to stick to Ireland and leave the
Tex -ans to take care of themselves. We hope
Mr_ O'CONNELL'S interference is not suggested in
any roundabout way by the Catholic hierarchy
of M exico.

Sir• J. HOBHOUSE, in reply to questions put by
Sir R. INGLIS, stated that he should lay more
pap€ rs on the table relative to the idolatrous
pvac tices in India, and he thought when they were
befo re the House the Hon. Baronet would find
a go od deal of satisfactory information in them.
A good deal had been done towards relieving
the British soldiers in India, from the grievances
of which they complained, and they were not
co; npelled to attend at any festival not consonant
to the Christian religion.

ILI reply to Sir EARDLEY WIFVOT, who
m ent ioned a case of a child impilsoned two
months for stealing an egg without any trial, the
ATTOI*NEY-GENERAL said he was not instructed
to prepare any Bill for establishing a Court for
the trial of juvenile offenders. We thought that
of all things there was punishment enough in
th e land, but some men out of pure benevolence
gl oat on stripes, imprisonment, chain-gangs, and
It anging.
Mr. KELLY having ascertained from Mr. Fox
AULE that the Government meant to bring
for ward a measure relative to the punishment of
dea th, but not co-extensive with Mr. KELLY'S
views, the Hon. Member gave notice that he
would, on Monday next, ask leave to bring in his
Bill.

Lord MORPETH asked leave'to bring in a Bill to
amen d the Registration and define the Franchise
of Electors in Ireland. The Noble Lord ex-
plained, at great length, the provisions of the
Bill, and pointed out many of the anomalies and
incongruities of the present system. But
all else that he said was swallowed up
by his proposition relative to the fran-
chise, which took the House, and will, we be-
lieve, take the country by surprise. The Noble
Lord proposes, as we understand, to introduce a
uniform franchise, something between the pre-
sent 101. clear interest above charges—which
seems to mean nobody knows exactly what—and
the old 40s. franchise, a franchise founded on
being rated to the poor for a tenement of 51.
annual value, and who has at the same time a
fourteen years' interest in his holding. Consider-
ing the state of property in the two countries,
this lowering of the amount will scarcely place
Ireland on a level with England. It is, however,
a step towards doing justice to her population,
and so we hope it will be received throughout
England.
Lord STANLEY immediately pounced on it, and
declared that the measure was a new Reform Bill
for Ireland. He affirmed that it was giving the
franchise to persons not property. It was giving
a vote to every man in possession of a cabin and
two acres of land. The Noble Lord is accus-
tomed to speak of his fellow-creatures, who are not
born to wealth, with great contempt, and he did
not forget his habit in his arrogant objections to
Lord MORPETIeB project.
Viscount Howlcx, to our great satisfaction,
declared his hearty concurrence in the proposi-
tion of his Noble Friend. The amount which is
to confer franchise, the Noble Lord thinks, may
be a subject of discussion, but the principle has
his approval. He thinks Ireland in great dan-
ger, arising mainly from the language and con-
duct of the Tories.

Mr. O'CoxsELL expressed his satisfaction with
the measure, and told the House—warning them
that France might have a war when she was pre-
pared for it—that they had got perhaps a last
opportunity of reconciling the people of Ireland
to the House, and he conjured them nut to throw

it away.
Some considerable discussion followed, in which
the Tories abused the plan and the Reformers
praised it. We are much disposed to applaud it,
because it excited Lord STANLEY'S ire. It seems

a long step towards good—it will be an excellent
principle to work out for England ; and as th^
Tories seem to visit it at once with their wrath, we
hope that it will excite the entlatsiastic support
of all the Liberals in the empire.
Leave was, of course, given to bring in the
Bill. The battle will be on the second reading.
Mr. LA BOUCHERE, after some discussion on the
principle of managing railways, to which we
must hereafter refer, obtained leave to bring in a
Bill for the better Regulation of Railways. The
Bill, which we consider a most important one, was
brought in and read a first time. Mr. PLUMPTRE,
as in duty bound, objected to allowing railway
carriages to run on Sundays.
Lori JOHN RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in
a Bill for the better Registration of Parliamentary
Electors in England, the principal feature of
which is the establishment of a Court of Appeal.

The Noble Lord also obtained a Select6om
inittee to inquire into the condition of the Colon 3
of South Australia, which he described as badl3
governed, and deeply in debt.

Sir E. POLLOCK obtained leave to bring in two
Bills, one to amend the Law relating to Double
Costs, Notices of Action, Limitations of Actions,
and Pleas of the General issue; and the other,
to allow a Writ of Error in all cases of Judgment
upon a Writ of Mandamus.

Lord ASHLEY also carried an amended Ad.
dress for a Commission to inquire into the em.
ployment of young persons and children in fac.
tories.

The House adjourned before Eleven o'Clock.
Though unable now to discuss even one of
the great questions last night mooted, we
are bound to say that the House got through
a great deal of preparatory business, and
began work which will take a long time to com-
plete. But work well begun, says the proverb,
is half ended; and we hope that the commence-
ment of the New Reform Bill, is a happy augury
to its successful completion.

There is no news of the slightest political in-
terest in the French Journals of Wednesday.
The noisy partisans of all parties are so well
pleased with the passing of the Fortifications
Bill that they are for the moment indifferent to
everything else. That the Secret Service Money
Bill would be passed, and the Commercial Treaty
with Holland ratified, was the general impression
in the best informed circles.

An Englishman named ALcocK, who robbed
his employer, a banker at Nottingham, was tried
a few days ago at Tours for travelling with a false
passport. He was fined 13 francs and discharged,
notwithstanding the demand of an English police-
officer that he might be surrendered to justice.
This protection of thieves by foreign Govern-
ments is somewhat startling.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes in its official
part—

1. The law containing the definitive regulation of the
Budget of 1841.
2. The law granticg to the Minister of Public Works
a credit of 3,000,000 of francs, and another for 600,000,
on the Budget of 1841, for the reparation of the damage
done by the inundations.
To-day the appeal will come before the Court of Cas-
eation, relative to the property of the domain of Cham-

German Journals of the latest dates have
reached us. We extract from them the follow-
ing account of the negotiations at Constantinople
for settling the Eastern question :
CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 13.—The important Hatti-
Scherif by which Mehemet Ali obtains the hereditary Go-
vernment of Egypt, is a proof that in spite of the evil fore-
bodings lately excited by the press, the solution of the
Oriental question in this stage also has been effected by
the joint efforts of the Powers concerned. The state of
the ease, after the taking of the fortified towns, was as foi-
lowsr—The Porte, having recovered possession of the con-
quered provinces, had certainly little inclination to revoke
the decree deposing Mehemet Ali. The Allied Powers
had considered this revocation and the grant of the Pacha-
lick of Egypt for his life as the minimum, which the Sul-
tan should be advised to accept in this state of aff,irs, while
the grant of the hereditary investiture of Egypt was assured
as the maximum, which the Sultan might be pleased to
concede. We see that the notion of a. 4 Prince Vasalle"
was entirely out of the question.
While the Turkish Cabinet seemed little disposed to
leave Egypt to Mehemet Ali, and Lord Forisenby would
perhaps have preferred the minimum, it was in the first in-
stance, the Austrian Cabinet which, in accordance with
Prussia, negotiated for the hereditaty investiture of Mehe-
met Ali ; and it was above all the energetic representations
of Prince Metternich in London and Constantinople, that
were believed to be favourable, and decided the removal
of this obstacle, which threatened the peace of Europe.
We need not remark bow essentially the position of the
French Ministry has been thereby injured. The confidence
which M. Guizot has constantly had in the honourable
endeavours of the Allied Courts is fully justified by this
final decision. Even the French Opposition will hardly deny
how much equitable consideration has been had to the
situation of France ; and how much this influenced the con-
duct of the Allied Powers, particularly of Austria and
Prussia.

The Madrid Journals and letters from Madrid
of the 517th ult. have come to hand, but are des-
titute of interest.

The Regency had received satisfactory news
from Lisbon. The Portuguese Government had
pledged itself that the Douro navigation question
should he settled before the close of January.

The Gazette of the 26th contains a decree of
the Regency, providing that hereafter the regis-
tries of births, marriages, and deaths shall be
kept by the municipalities. The decree was for
the present to be executed only in towns and
boroughs containing upwards of 500 houses.
The operations in the Five per Cents., 41 in
number, amounted on the 27th to 34,400,000
reals —viz., one for cash at 28k, and the others
at 20i at 60 days. The debt bearing no interest
was done at 6 7-16ths at 60 days.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--The introduction
of madrigals has given a pleasing variety to these con-
certs, and the numerous body of singers has been very well
trained. The old madrigal 1. Down in a Flowery Vale"
was sung last night with great precision and effect, the
gradation of voices being exceedingly well managed. It
was encored without dissent. Koenig, the player of the
cornet-a-piston, is unquestionably the best that has yet dis-
played in public the powers of that instrument.

The lovers of the fine arts will regret to hear
that Mr. Minasi, whose talents as a pen and ink draughts-
man we have so often commended, is now suffering from
two sod maladies—old age and poverty. For the first
there is no cure; for the latter there is hope while bene-
volence exists, and that it does so in the metropolis every
day's experience off, rs convincing proof. We trust it
may be fully exercised in the present instance in favour of
a very deserving artist.—Moriting Herald. [We cordially
concur with our Contemporary in the appeal made on be-
half of Mr. Minasi. His advanced age, no less than his
acknowledged talents and amiable &spnsition, claim the
benevolent consideration of the people among whom be
has so long resided.
SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOClETY.—Yesterday
the Governors of thle Seamen's Hospital Society, an hied-
' tution which had rendered astonishing service to poor dis-
abled or diseased seamen, assembled at their rooms in King
William-street, for the purpose of receiving the Annual
Report : John Labouchere, Esq., in the chair. The Re-
port detailed the efforts made by the benevolent friends of
the Association to enable Managers to extend its advan-
tages. To induce continued and extended support to the
institution, the Committee of Management invited serious
attention to the important fact that norecommendation was
required to insure to sailors of all nations immediate re-
ception into this establishment, in sickness, accident, or
distress ; and that, fiom its commencement, in 1821, it
had been instrumental in relieving, throrgh medical aid
and otherwise, 53,471 patients.

SZELEY ♦ND OTHERS V. FISHER AND CITHERS.-THE REV. T.

SCOTT'S COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE.
Mr. K. Biture applied this morning ex parte to his lioneur the
Vice-Chance:lor, on behalf of Messrs. Seeley, the eminent pub-
lishers in Fleet-street, for an injunction to restrain Messrs. Fisher,
the publishers of Newgate-street, from selling or disposing of any
copy of the numbers or parts of the announced edition of the Rev.
Thomas Scott's work, or any future number or part thereof,
having with or upon it, or the cover or wrapper thereof, the state-
ment or announcement respecting the nature and contents of such
publication, and from in any manner printing or publishing, or
causing to be printed or published, any advertisement, state-
ment, or announcement to the purport or effect that
any edition of the Commentary, or work published, or to be
published, by them, contained, or would contain, the whole of the
Commentary and Observations of the Rev. Thomas Scott, as
written by him, or as bequeathed by him to the world, or the whole
of the last correction and improvement made by the Rev. Thomas
Scott to his Commentary or work, into any like effect I, The
Court would collect from the language of the injunction asked,
that it was one of a rather unusual and singular nature, but he be.
lieved he should be able to show that it was one that came within
the principles upon which the Court usually acted. The present
was not a case of piracy, but one of untrue announcement to the
world, expressed in such a manner as to induce the world to be-
lieve that the work announced by the defendants was that which
it really was not,

The Vies Cusxced.roa—Holding out that the defendants'
work was that which belonged to the plaintiff.
Mr. K. BRUCE—Just so, Sir; no doubt the Court was well ac-
quainted with the great value of Scott's Bible.
The Vice Clll Nem.Log—Ves ; I recollect years ago arguing that
for Mr. Scott upon an application for an injunction.
Mr. K. BRUCE—It was, perhaps, one of the best editions of the
Bible ever published, and the notes and commentaries of Mr. Scott
were considered peculiarly valuable. The fourth edition of this
Bible was published in Mr. Scott's lifetime, and the plaintiff's were
now, so far as the copyright was in existence, the proprietors of it.
The practice which had been adopted by the defendants was this—
they were, by monthly parts, publishing the Bible; and a fifth
edition being required by the public in Mr. Scett's lifetime, he pre-
pared that edition, to which he appended many additional anno-
tations and remarks, which were of great value, and which he had
completed up to the second of St. Paul's Epistles to Timothy, but the
notes to the remaining part of the New Testament, though completed,
were not arranged for printing at the time of Mr. Scott's death,
which took place in 1821. Part of the money for the purchase of
the copyright of the sth edition was paid to Mr. Scott during his
lifetime, and the remainder was handed over to his representatives
after his decease, and that part of the work which Mr. Scott had
not finished was arranged by a gentleman who had acted as his
amanuensis, and the sth edition complete was published in 182'2,
about a year after the death of Mr. Scott. The copyright of that
edition, with its additional remarks and annotations of 400
pages, was entirely in the plaintiff; and would exist in him for
some years to come. Now the defendants, the Messrs. Fisher,
in order to induce the world to believe that that which they were
publishing as a reprint of the fourth edition contained all that was
in the fifth edition, had thought fit to make the following announce.
ment on the outside cover of their work :—" Fisher's illustrated
edition of the Nev. Thomas Scott's Bible. The extensive patron-
age bestowed on the inestimable commentary of this learned and
scriptural writer, has induced the publishers to prepare and present
a new and most carefully revised edition of this great work ; and
although they have engaged the services of an eminent scholar to
read the proofs during the progress of printing, they pledge them-
selves that no alteration or interference whatever, either in the
spirit or the style of the commentary, shall take place. Accuracy
in typography, and verification of references, being their
sole objects in incurring the additional and considerable ex-
pense ; they wish also to add that the work is printed from a
beautiful and clear type, entirely new, and cast expressly for this
undertaking. The invaluable character of the Commentary ren.
Bering any infringement or abbreviation mischievous, economy in
bulk has been effected by the employment of a smaller type and
expanded page, so that three quarto volumes may contain the whole
unadulterated labours of the author, not as re-edited by an indiffe-
rent hand and inferior mind, but precisely as the amiable and
learned commentator bequeathed them to the world. This edition
is printed from the last which the author published in the vigour
of life. For, being well satisfied of its appreciation, he de-
voted the latter years of his useful existence to the formation of an
Index. To .prevent the possibility of a misconception the pub.
unifiers state distinctly that this edition will include, besides the
authorized text of the Holy Scriptures, the commentary, notes,
marginal references, and practical observations, es the author wrote
them, without interpolation or omission. Inferior, there-
fore, to no edition of Scott's Bible in the fulness and general Cho.
racter of its contents ; it is a work which they confidently anticipate
will soon become not merely the popular, but the standing edition of
"Scott's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures." This was, in
fact, therefore, telling the world that the work which they
the Messrs. Fisher were publishing was the genuine edition, and
which it was impossible could be the case,,considering the state of
the fifth edition.

The VICE CHANCELLOR—It is selling their work at the expense
of the plaintiffs. It is plain that they are selling their own work,
whatever it may be, with a representation that it is that of the
plaintiffs.

Mr. K. littucs—lt is a fraud on the plaintiff's clearly. I don't
say that it is a fraud on the public, as they had the option whether
they would purchase it or not.

The Vic CHANCRI.LOR— It is clearly selling one work for another.
I think you have stated quite enough to entitle you to the injuoc.
tion. —lnjunction granted.
