London, England, 1847-02-03

We have received tho Paris papers of Monday.

The note of M. GUIZOT, in reply to Lord PALmitns-
TON, is the subject of comment in all of them. The
Debuts, the Epoque, and the Presse are the only
papers that support M. GUIZOT, and it is easy to judge
of the necessity to which they are reduced, when we find
the Epoque actually praising M. GUIZOT for the " can.
dour, uprightness, and frankness" which he has ex-
hibited from the beginning to the end of these nego-
tiations. The Opposition papers of all shades consider
this last note as a failure. Tke Constitutionnel says
of it—

' There is nothing new in this fresh pleading of M. Guiaot,
no serious refutation of the conclusions so clearly to be drawn
from the documents produced by each party ; nothing can
be more empty than this last document, drawn up as if by
a Procurear, who fancies he is refuting arguments by pre-
tending not to have heard them."

The Sijcle commonts on it in the same strain, and
adds the following:—

"M. Guizot devotes a great portion of his dispatch to
prove to Lord Palmerston that it is the latter who, by direct-
ing several of his criticisms against the acts attributed by
him to inviolable persons, has dictated the principle admitted
in England as in France, that the King can do no wrong.
This argument would make a good article in the columns of
the Journal des Debuts; but it is not the less true that the
only means of seriously carrying this principle into practice
is never to speak either of the acts or personal opinions of the
Prince, and to deliver up to controversy only the acts and
opinions of the Government."
The Commerce considers the conduct of M. GUIZOT
from the moment Lord PALMERSTON
.entered office to
be proof that the French Minister, and those with
whom he was acting, were engaged in an intrigue to
overthrow the Whigs and to bring back the Tories.
The Quotidienne and the France are to the full as
severe in their strictures on U. GUIZOT as the Liberal
papers are. Speaking of the justification offered by
the Debate for M. Gurzofs reserve to Lord NOR-
MANDY, the France says—
" Nothing authorised M. Guizot to reveal his secrets to
the English Ambassador; nothing prescribed an imprudent
confidence in the man charged with the support of rival in-
terests; but there is a distinction between the reserve com-
manded by policy and the mesquineries and falsehoods dis-
avowed by a sense of dignity, which M. Guizot appears to
have disregarded."
The Presse is outrageous with England for taking
possession of Labuan; and, following in the wake of the
National of the preceding day, splutters a vast deal about
the violation by England of the treaty of 1824, by such
taking possession. It is evident, however, from the

IRISH DISTRESS.

Sir ROBERT PEEL presented petitions from se•
veral places in the county of Longford, setting forth
that the population of the county amounted to 27,930,
three•fourths of whom were upon the verge of starva-
tion, and that 8,150 of them were employ ed upon the
public works; that the land in all the baronies
of the county was divided into very amid.
divisions, great numbers of which remained until the
present time, and the petitioners prayed that the im-
mediate attention of the Governinent should be called
to their condition, and such measures adopted as should
prevent the disastrous results of such a state of things.

W AY.

Colonel SIBTITORP wished to ask the Hon. Memb.,r
for Derby (Mr. Strutt), who was at the head of the
Railway Commissioners, whe,her any compensation had
been given, or would be given, to the surviving relatives
of those two individuals who had lost their lives, upon a
recent occasion, upon the Great Western Railway?
had looked over the evidence, and the just remarks of
the Coroner during the inquest, and it was his decided
opinior that some compensation should be awarded to
the survivors. He wished, therefore, to know whether
it was the intention of the Commissioners to provide
for the relief of those unfortunate individuals who had
lost th.ir lives—(Laughter)—he meant those who had
been deprived by that accident of their relatives, and of;
perhaps, the means of support?
Mr. STRUTT was not able to answer the question,
because it did not come within the province of the Rail.
way Board. It had no power to deal with such cases at
present. Whether the Act incorporating the board
would give them such power he could not say.

1 CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
n! rOl-71?7'.

was vLadd at. the bar on a charge of bteatiog two
brooches and two ring.;, of the value of 4001., from Mr. John
Linnet, a jewella.
Mr. Clarkson Was retained for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantyne defended the pris ner.
Mr. Linnet stated that on the 7th of January, 1845, the
prisoner called upon him, and stated that he was engaged at
Buckingham Palace as a worker in hair at two guineas a day,
and had therefore the opportunity of introducing goods to
the notice of her Majesty and Prince Albert. He at that
time said that he came for a cane for the Prince, and also a
stick which his Royal Highness desired to present to the
Emperor of Russia. He took them both away, and two or
three days af!erwards returned the stick, but paid for the
cane the sum of 31/. 10i. At that time the prisoner said that
he wa-: t,ht:.in two br,,oehei and tmo Ronoud.rings
value cf 40)/., which !, took away with Lim. The
a.v wjc ellcry talo.n away.
On cross-cv.mination, illr. Linnet' said, :hot bil;ce the
transaction he had become a bankrupt, and that he had not
any books to show when it took place. He could not say
exactly on what day the stick was paid for. He believed
that it was the same day, but it might be two or three days
before the jewellery was obtained. He had certainly received
a letter from the prisoner, stating that from necessity he had
been compelled to pawn the brooches and the rings, but that
he hoped some day to pay for them.
Mr. Lawton, a pawnbroker in Oxford-street, stated that
the prisoner had pledged two brooches and two rings
with him. •

Mr. Attenborough, another pawnbroker, said that he had
been engaged to negotiate for the return of the property to
the assignees of Mr. Linnet, and gave them the information
of the place where the property was deposited.
The lion. Miss Ker, one of Maids of Honour to the Queen,
stated that the prisoner at the bar had certainly been at the
palace, but had never had an interview with her Majesty,
although he had manufactured some articles in hair for her.
She thought th •t it was very unlikely that any one would
have seen her Majesty whilst witness attended upon the
Queen without her being acquainted with the fact.
After the examination of other witnesses,
Mr. P,ALLANTYNE addressed the jury for the prisoner.
Several I%itnesses were then called as to character.
Mr. Justice WIGHTAINN summed up, and the jury found
the prisoner Guilty.—Sentence deferred.

IRISH DISTRESS.

Sir ROBERT PEEL presented petitions from se-
veral places in the county of Longford, setting forth
that the population of the county amounted to 27,950,
three-fourths of whom were upon the verge of starva-
tion, and that 8,150 of them were employed upon the
public works; that the land in all the baronies
of the county was divided into very small
divisions, great numbers of which remained until the
present time, and the petitioners prayed that the im-
mectate attention>f the Government shoulu be culled
to their condition, ntid such tna.tires adopted as should
prevent the disastrous results of such a state of things.

ANNEXATION OF CRACOW.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask the lion.

Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) whether it was his
intention again to postpone the motion of which he had
given notice, upon the subject of the annexation of
Cracow ?

Mr. HUME was very desirous of bringing forward
his motion, but as the Government had not yet laid the
papers promised by them upon the table of the House,
he hardly knew what course to adopt with reference to
the subject. He did not wish to enter into the conside-
ration of the subject until the documents were laid before
the House.
BEQUESTS ACT (IRELAND).
Mr. D. O'CONNELL presented a petition, signed by
two archbishops, and several other prelates of the
Catholic Church, praying for an alteration in the
Bequests Act.

TEN HOURS' BILL.

Lord GEORGE BEN riNcK presented several peti-
tions from Chorky and other place*, in favour of the
Ten Hours' Bill (,s we. understood).
MINISTERIAL MEASURES.

Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN wished to ask the Chancellor
of the Exchequer when the whole of the Bills embody-
ing the measurus of her Majesty's Government, in re-
sp+•ct to Ireland, would be laid upon the table of the
House.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that three Bills were already before the House calcu-
lated to affect the present distress i❑ Ireland. The Bill
for carrying out the Treasury minutes would shortly be
ready. The Bill for the consolidation of the Drainage
Acts would t.ot be brought in at present; the existing
Drainage Act being already very well understood in
Ireland, and operations were still going on
under the provisions of that Act. The Bill
for the reclamation of the waste lands was in a
state of forwardness, and would shortly be brought under
the consideration of the House ; and the Bill for the
sale of estates, which was also in a forward state, would
shortly be ready to be introduced.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market this week have been by no means extensive,
the show of samples here to-day, owing to a clearance
not being effected on Monday, was somewhat on the
increase. All kinds met a very inactive demand at the
late decline in the quotations. The imports of Foreign
Wheat have been somewhat large. Selected qualities
were in fair request, and at full prices ; bnt all other
descriptions were a very slow inquiry. The s tie for
Barley and Malt was very dull, and the quotations had
a downward tendency. The beat parcels of Oats sold
steadily, at full currencies ; otherwise, the Oat trade
ruled dull. Beans and Peas were easier to purchase,
but all other articles, including both English and Foreign
Flour, were held at full price;.

To carry out effectually and economically steam oommuitication

overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lord' of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is vii* Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
whick are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australabian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within leas than 30 days
of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

Dennis Durham, a boy about ten years of age,
was charged by his mother, Mary Durham, residing
at No. 8, Horse-shoe-lane, Golden-square, with
robbing her of two half-crowns and other silver
money.
The mother, who seemed deeply affected, said that
within the last two years he had robbed them several
times ; he took the clothes of his little brothers and
sisters, which he sold for a mere trifle at a marine
store dealer's, and nothing upon which he could lay
his hands was safe. Latterly they used to lock up
their money, but he managed to pick the lock of the
drawer in which it was placed, and broke no less than
two locks, one of the room door, and the other of the
box. She had done all she could to reform him, but
finding him incorrigible, she determined to pro-
secute.
He was fully committed for trial.

IRISH LANDLORDS.

Mr. HAMILTON rose to make an explanation con-
cerning certain charges lately made by the Hon.
Baronet, the Member for Marylebone, with respect to
an Irish landlord, of the name of Longfield. The Hon.
lh mber defend,d Mr. Longfield, and concluded by say-
ing, that that gentleman had subscribed 2501. to tho re-
lief committees near his property.
Sir B. HALL said that he made his statements from
a return ordered by that House on the 4th of February,
and he had no wish to misrepresent the conduct of any
Irish landlords.

Mr. LEFROY entered at some length into a defence
of the Irisb landlords, and read extracts from several
letters he received from them, expressing their indigna-
tion at the unjustifiable treatment they received in that
House.
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE RELIEF OF THE

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1847.

The House of Commons met at Twelve o'clock.
The Army Service Bill passed through Com-
mittee, and
The House adjourned to Monday, April 12.

We are in receipt of further intelligence from India
via Marseilles, the overland dispatches having, as
isual, anticipated the ordinary mail, which quitted
Bombay on the 2d ult. The general tenor of the
news is happily of the same pacific tendency that has
of late been received from the East. Sinde is now
thoroughly tranquil, the marauding tribes not having
shown any disposition to renew their infamous incur-
sions since the salutary check which they got from
the cavalry under the command of Captain JACOB!
The military reduction has been completed in this
province ; and a corresponding diminution in the
ranks of the army is satisfactorily progressing in the
other chief military divisions of the peninsula. The
total reduction will amount to little short of 40,000
men. The force which will then be kept on foot
will exceed by 30,000 men the number we
maintained before we crossed the Indus in
1838. The Governor-General has gone as far
in lessening the military strength as prudence would
justify. The acquisitions we have recently made
and the nature of the engagements into which
have entered with the different nati,,
authr 4ve
upon the termination of the hostilities that b-
zespectively carried on, fully accounts fox CAin been
sity of having 30,000 soldiers beyond what

some excitement has

sassinate Sirdar TEJ SINGE, lately the Commander-in-
Chief of the Seikh force.',. The plot has heen defeated.
it originated, apparei.itly, in the umbrage he had
given by the fidelity with which he has adhered to
the British alliaace. DHIILEEP SINGH and the
Ranee have been prohibited by our representative
from making any pilgrimages without his express
sanction. We have no doubt that this step has been
dictated by sound policy. The duplicity, abominable
intrigues, and treachery which have stamped every
proceeding of the Court of Lahore, requires the
greatest vigilance on the part of the British autho-
rities; and it is more than probable that, under
the mask of devotion, they would endeavour to
//lake their wanderings to shrines subservient to
schemes of disaffection and revolt. The insurrection-
ary spirit in the liaazareh districts has been quelled,

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received the Cape Town Commercial Ad-
vertiser of Jan. 23, which contains a General Order, an-
nouncing that the Commander-in-Chief (Sir Peregrine
Maitland) having been recalled by her Majesty's Go-
vernment, the command of the frontier would devolve
on Colonel Somerset, K.H., who was hereby appointed co-
lonel on the staff. Lieutenant-Colonel Mackinnon was ap-
pointed to act as Assistant-Master-General, and Assis-
tant-General to the forces on the frontier. The
"General Order" concludes by conveying the thanks of
his Excellency to all the officers and men of every rank
and description, who had been under his command, fur
their individual and collective exertions during that pe-
riod; and in taking leave of the army ventures to con-
gratulate them on the almost immediate termination of
their labours."

An address from the merchants, traders, and other
inhabitans of Graham's Town was presented to Sir
Peregrine Maitland, expressive of their esteem and gra-
titude for the unceasing exertions of his Excellency in
subjugating the Kafir tribes; and tendering their fervent
wishes for the future happiness and continued welfare of
his Excellency and family. To this address Sir Pere-
grine made the following reply:—
" Gentlemen,—For the kind manner in which you
have spoken of my efforts to benefit the colony during
my administration of the Government, and especially of
my endeavours to rescue the frontier from the evils
which it has suffered from the recent invasion of the
Kafir tribes, I beg you to accept my thank,, as well as
for the good wishes with which you follow me.
" That it has been the object of toy strenuous exer-
tions for many months to procure the future peace and
security of the frontier districts, is but true. It having
pleased her Majesty's Government to relieve me of the
onerous responsibilities which my duty has required me
t 3 sustain for some time past, I have been caned from
the task which I had imposed on ni)self before it has
reached that degree of completion to which 1 h td hoped
to bring it. But I trust that enough has bet:n already
dune to lay a fair foundation for the future welfare of
the frontier, and I leave the remainder of the work to
the successor whom it has pleased her Majt:sty to
point in my room, in the full hop that he will finish it
my hands, and will establish the peace and safety of the
more ably than I coul,l have done, h,d it continued in
eastern districts on a firm and enduring basis."

ARTICHOKES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR POTATOES.—
It has latterly been much urged upon the cottagers the
utility of extensively substituting in their allotments and
gardens the Jerusalem artichoke tor the potato. No weather
hurts it, it appears to grow almost anywhere, and yields
quite as large a crop as the mo.t prolific potato. A friend of
ours (says a Bath contemporary) planted in April last, and
is now digging an average produce of half-a-peck to eaca
root planted.

BREAKWATER BILL.

The reports on the above three Bills were brought up,
and they were ordered to be read a third time on Mon-
day, the 12th of April.
The other orders of the day having been disposed of,
the House adjourned, at a Quarter-past Five o'clock,
till Monday, the 12th of April.

DEMOLITION OF THE OLD
HOUSE OF LORDS.

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a number of
workmen, under the direction of Mr. Barry, commenced
the demolition of the old House of Lords, formerly well
known as the Painted Chamber of the Palace, and the
room in which Edward the Confessor breathed his last.
Their Lordships held their last sitting on Tuesday in
this place, associated with so many historical recollec-
tikns; and the work of destruction now going forward
is for the purpose of making the necessary entrances into
the New Houses for th 3 re-assembling of their Lordships
after the Easter recess. Their Lordships will resume
their legislative and judicial duties in the New Houses
on Thursday, the 15th of April.
