fered every sacrifice and privation, to mitigate the
evils by which they are surrounded.—(Hear, hear-)
I applauded the conduct of those who, like the Noble Lord
( Lord Clements) resisted the temptations of a resi-
dence abroad, and although their attempts to be-
nefit the people were not successful, still the failure
does not take from them the credit due to them.
' They were deserving of the greatest possible amount of praise
for the exertions which they had used, situated as they were in
such critical circumstances. With respect to the Govern-
ment, he was quite content to give them the fullest discretion
in carrying out those measures which they considered necessary,
in order to meet the existing distress of Ireland • and he was
also quite content to give them indemnity for the fine of policy
' which they had adapted towards Ireland. He believed that
any attempt to regulate the discretion of the Government, by
any legislative details, would be futile ; he thought, therefore;
that the fullest discretion should be allowed to the
He would not, at present enter into any discussion
on the more permanent measures proposed for Ireland .
by far the most important of them were not yet before the
House. He considered that a Bill which should. enable the
nominal possessors of estates to sell their property were of
more importance, as bearing upon the permanent condition of
Ireland, than any which had yet been brought under the con-
sideration of the House by her Majesty's Government, and he
thought that they would only prejudice the discussion of an
important measure by Hon. Members explaining to the House
their respective views upon the subject.—( Hear, hear.)
With respect to the proposed cultivation of the waste lands, he
hoped the Noble Lord at the head of the Government would
pause before he proceeded to invest the public money in the
cultivation of the soil. The Honourable Member for
Wigan had stated that the quantity of waste groun 's
to be cultivated amounted to 4,600,C00 acres,
and the proposed grant of 1,000,00 q would be of little or no
avail for the purposes contemplated by the Act. He wished to
call the attention of the Noble Lord to that concluding portion
of his speech in which, addressing the Irish Members, he told
them to endeavour to help themselves.—(Cheers.) The
Noble Lord should act upon his own advice ; but the Govern..
ment of whieh the Noble Lord was at the head, teach the
landed proprietors to act independently of the aid of Govern-
ment.— ( Cheers.) Let them be just towards Ireland ; but he
would have the Government remember that they were only
encumbering Ireland and paralysing her services if they
taught her to depend too much upon the assistance of England.
The cultivation of her soil must depend upon the energies of
the people themselves, and not upon any assistance which
the Government could offer.—(Cheers.) Let the House con-
sider for a moment the expenses of superintendence of works
performed by the Government, and how imperfect those works
were done by Government agents. Such works could only be
properly performed by the enterprise of the people of Ireland
themselves, who would expect to reap some return for the out-
lays and trouble which it required, and who would watch over
the expenditure of every penny.—(Cheers.) That was the
way in which the permanent improvement of the land was to
be obtained. Let them facilitate as much as possible the
drainage of land of the proprietors—but that was a measure
equally affecting England as well as Ireland. But
the Government must not attempt the cultivation
of the bogs and waste lands of Ireland. The
Government might depend upon it that if those lands, when
reclaimed, were to be profitable, private enterprise should be
employed for the purpose of making them profitable; but if
they were not to be profitable, then it was only throwing away
the money of the State for the Govemment to interfere.—
(Loud cheers.) His remedy was to give the Government
indemnity and a discretionary power. He wished not to be
considered as actuated by any feelings of hostility towards the
Gcvernment, nor by any feelings of party, but it was not in
the power of Members of that House properly to perform
their duty, unless they frankly avowed their opinions.
—( Hear, hear.) Ile Loped, therefore, that the Noble
Lord would well consider his steps before he
entered upon any such task -as he had proposed to himself.
He was quite sure that the Noble Lord had plenty of other
duties to perform than that of undertaking to become the im-
prover of Irish hogs.—(Laughter.) If he attempted that, it
would only involve him in the greatest of difficulties. He
would merely express a hope, with reference to the poor-laws,
that when the subject should be brought before the House, the
fullest and most ample consideration would be afforded to it.
He hoped for the sake of Ireland, that the present debates
would not be adjourned beyond to-night.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, as a Member connected
with both countries, begged to state that he most cor-
dially agreed in the opinions which had been expressed by the
Right Hon. Baronet who had last addressed the House, with
reference to the conduct of those officers who, under the most
trying and difficult circumstances' had been appointed to the
onerous duties of carrying out the provisions of the measures
proposed by her Majesty's Government to meet the existing
distress of Ireland. The Right Hon. Baronet who had just
sat down had given the Noble Lord some wholesome advice
upon the subject of waste lands, and he wished to add to that
advice that it was not the Irish Members who first suggested
this subject to the Government.—( Hear, hear.) If this
Bill were passed, with the blessing of God, he believed
their chances of the next harvest in Ireland were as good as
ever they were, but nothing could be done with the efforts and
exertions of the Irish landlords, and in resuming his seat he
must again exhort them to be more persevering than they had
hitherto been.—( Hear, hear.)
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Thursday.

DESTITUTE PERSONS (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL in moving the second reading of
this Bill, intimated that, as this Bill was for the immediate
relief of the starving people of Ireland, for whom work could
not be obtained, and was therefore exceedingly pressing, he
proposed to have it committed a first time on Thursday.
Mr. BOUVERIE could not allow the Bill to be read a
second time without calling attention to the serious nature of
its provisions. Government had admitted that the plan of
employing the people had entirely failed, and therefore this
Bill was to provide food for the people out of the consolidated
funds. There was no man in the House or the country who
would grudge the money for the relief of the Irish people, but
it must be remembered that there sviis likely to be a deficiency
of the food of the Irish people for some years to come yet,
and he wanted to know if the House was prepared on all oc-
casions to make up the deficiency out of the Consolidated
Fund? At all evens, if the House was, he was sure the
people of this country were not ; the consequences must be
eventually frightful.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. GOULBURN said the Bill gave the Government in-
definite power to draw upon the Consolidated Fund for any
money that might be required for the relief of the poor of
Ireland. Now he thought the more constitutional way would
be for Government to call upon the House, from time to time,
for supplies for this particular purpose, however large they
might be.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on Thursday.
POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on-Monday next.
CHELSEA PENSIONERS BILL.
The report on this Bill was brought up.
CUSTOMS DUTIES BILL.
The second reading of this Bill was postponed till Friday.
The House then adjourned at Half-past Eleven o'clock.

much caution by the home trade, although further reduced
rates were submitted to—brown grocery lumps selling at
66s fd to 67e, and Standard Lumps 67s 6d to 6Ss per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was little demand for
Mauritius Sugar; and 5,846 bags at public sale were nearly
all taken in at easier rates.

EAST Ixnm:►.—'this afternoon there was little desire
evinced to operate in Madras Sugar at the public salts,
which comprised 1,603 bags, and the whole was taken in and
withdrawn—good damp toxey brown at 425, and mid 41s.
Bengal met with little attention ; and 3,780 bags at public
sale only partly sold upon rather lower terms.
FOREIGN.—The demand has fallen off considerably lot
all descriptions of Foreign Sugar for haute consompti.li. The
limited business transacted has been at a reouctioa an tormnr
rates of 6d to is for white, and Is to la 6d for brown and
yellow. . _

TEA.—The arrivals amounted to 17,000 packages at this
part during the past week, and duty was paid on 49,890
ltis during that time. Importers have di: played firinnrss,
and refrained from offering any at public sale. This in some
measure is to be attributed to the advices from China statl,g
that the shipments had fallen off to the extent of 7,000,000
lbs, as compared with the former season. The lower qualities
of Congou are held for the former value. In Pouchong
several purchases have been made, and 5d to 91 paid for low
to fine quality. For the inferior sorts of green the market
has a dull appearance.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a lively demand for
Plantation Ceylon, and 990 bags at public sale were sold at
stiff rates. In Native several purchases were made privately
at 43s for good ordinary. Foreign Cotfee met with attention;
at public sale 71 barrels washed Rio sold at firm rates.
MoLAssEs.—The market has a dull appearance for all
descriptions of West India, and prices are on the decline, as
the supply is on the increase, and 23s to 28s is the value of
common fine quality. Bengal Treacle can be obtained upon
lower terms; still little inquiry existed privately. 24 butts
and 16 hhds at auction seld at 23s 6d.
RICE.—To-day the market had a dull appearance for all
sorts of Rice; 606 bags 795 pockets Bengal were offered at
public sale—the sound was taken in at 25s for middling, and
at 25s to 25s 6d for good middling white, being barely the
former value.

Sriarrs The high prices that prevail for Jamaica Ruin
operates against business in all descriptions : only small pur-
chaser have been made by exporters or the home trade.
Leeward Island is held for the stiff rate of 4s per gallon, proof
strength, but little business has been transacted. For East
India the demand is limited, owing to 3s 10d being iasisted upon
for proof with certificate. Of Demerara a fair quantity has
been disposed of at 5s 2d to 5s 4d for 33 to 36 per cent over proof.
Brandy has not risen in value, but a good demand prevailed
for all descriptions for home consumption, and exporters
have taken a fair quantity. Geneva has been in excellent
request; common shipping sort at 2s 7d to 2s Bd, and fine
for home consumption at 3s 3d to 3s 6(1 per gallon proof
strength. Our distillers are more inclined to receive contracts
at Its 9d for Corn Spirits, and at 10s 3d for gin 22 per
cent underproof, and 1089.1 for 17 per cent under.
Outs.—There has been an extensive demand for all de-
scriptions of Olive Oil since our last report, and a further
advance in the value has taken place. For Rape Seed Oil
the demand has been brisk, and further advanced rates have
been obtained. For Linseed Oil the home demand
has become brisk, and exporters have taken several
parcels; an advance in the value has taken place.
Palm is not so much in request, and as several
arrivals are near at band, there are sellers upon lower terms.
For Cocoa Nut Oil no further advance in the value has taken
place. Lard Oil has been in excellent request. Cod has not
risen in value. Seal is held with firmness, and a good busi-
ness has been transacted. Sperm is held with firmness.
TALLow.—Holders of Russian are desirous to realise on
the spot, and have submitted to a further reduction in prices.
For delivery in the next two'months there are Fellers at 51s.
but few buyers are to be met with. Home made met with
less attention, and can be obtained at 52s to 52s lid nett
cash. Other sorts Tallow are less wanted, and can be
obtained upon rat t. sr lower terms.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
• HOUSII OF LOIiDS.-,heb. 2.
The house of Lords sat to-day for the first time this
session to hear appeals. The Peers present were tha Lord
Chancellor, Lord Breughana, and the Bishop of St. Asaph.
COLE V. SEWELL.
This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from
the decision of the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland (Sir K
Sagden) dismissing the bill filed by the plaintiff for the
purpose of a partition and allotment to him of an estate
called Daly or Quansbury, situate in the county of Galway.
The case, which is one purely depending upon dry poin's of
law, appears likely to occupy their Lordships a day or two.
Mr. Turner and Mr. Mantis appear for the appellant, and
Mr. Tinney and Mr. Shaptel are counsel for the respondent.

The Court gave judgment in this ca..ee, reversing the de-

the warrant issued by the Speaker of the House of Common!
was valid, and that .the plaintiff in error, the Sergeant-at•

The verdict must therefore be entered for the defendant.

COURT OF QUEEN'S REACH, Feb. 2
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice
ERLE and Common Juries.)
COUNSEL AND THEIR CLIENTS.—BENNETT V. VARTIL AND co.
This case was the second in the list, and was called on im-
mediately after the sitting of the Court, the record in the first
case having been withdrawn. An unexpected difficulty,
however, occurred, as Mr. Peacock, who had been retained
for the plaintiff, was not in attendance to conduct his case.
After waiting for a short time,
Mr. Justice ERLE intimated that if the case was not pro-
ceeded with, either the record would have to be withdrawn,
or the plaintiff .non-suited. He suggested that the attorney
should instruct another counsel.
The attorney had no brief; it was in Mr. Peacock's pos •
session. He was, however, proceeding to instruct Mr. Pig-
gott, when
Mr. Peacock entered with his brief.
Mr. Justice ERLE said—" Mr. Peacock, every cause in
the list is the first in the mind of a practical man."
Mr. PEACOCK proceeded to open the case. .
Mr. Justice EnnE—Call your first witne:,s.
Mr. PEACOCK ( who was reading from his brief) said he
was opening his client's case.
Mr. Justice ERLE said he was reading his brief verbatim.
Mr. PEACOCK then called his first witness, and having
examined her, he placed his brief in the hands of Mr. Bail,
and withdrew for the purpose, no doubt, of transacting
business in some of the other courts.
The case itself was only of the ordinary kind. It was at
issue under the Interpleader Act, to try to whom a guar
City of furniture deposited in two houses, situated at 40 at
39, Green-street, Grosvenor-square, one of which is kno.
as Talbot's Hotel. The plaintiff had been the condi",
of the Exeter, Hotel, in the Strand, and the defendants are
wholesale ironmongers at Dudley, in Staff.mdshire. The fur-
niture in question was contented to have belonged-to a Mr.
Thompson, who also carried on the business of an ironmonger
in South Molton-street, Oxford-street, and that in 1 jay,
1845, it, with sonic plate, which was subsequently stolen, was
sold to the plaintiff for a considerable sum. An inventory of
the articles, and a receipt, bearing the signature of both
Thompson aad his wife, were produced. •
A witness proved the signing of the receipt, and the pay-
ment of 380/.
In August last year, the defendant levied a distress on the

the property was valued at more than 6001.

creditors, when he found himself in an embarrassed condi-
tion. The goods had remained-in the possession of; and bas
been used by, the Thompsons for a considerable time after tin
alleged sale.
Mr. Justice ERLE commented until the frequency of frau.
dulent transfers, or transfers by creditors for the PUrpose,
meeting their creditors with a bill of sale or an as,,ignmen
when they adopted ulterior measures, and so neutralizir
their levy, and left it to the jury to may whether, in this ca:
there had or had not been a transfer of this nature, lie s;
it was a remarkable and suspicious fact, that the plaintiff
never exercised or put forth any right of ownership over
property until a distraint was put in. •
The jury found a verdict for the defendants.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 2.
JACOBSON V. HUNTER AND ANOTHER.
The Couit was engaged all the nicrniug with a case
arising out of the sale of a sword belonging to the
late Duke of Sussex. It had been bought at the
sale of the effects of the Duke of Sussex' by
Mr. Jacobson, a jeweller, of the Jewish persuasion, residing
in Oxford-street, and subsequently sold to the defendants
for 1351. The transaction was conducted by a Mr. Lazarus,
and the question now raised was, whether, in the negotia-
I fief) with the defendants, Liza-us acted for himself, as con-
tended by the defendants, or as the agent of Mr. Jacobson?
After the examination of a number of witnesses, the jury
returned 4 verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount
claimed.

COU—

_RD OF BAlvirlillPTCY, Feb. 2.
IN RE GODFREY.
This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a builder at
Milton, near Gravesend, came up for his last examination.
Mr. SOUTHGATE, the solicitor to the assignees, opposed on
xd the ground that the bankrupt had not furnished proper ac-
-5 counts, although the examination had been adjourntel for
8J that reason ; an allowance of 2/. a week had been made to
,
enable him to furnish proper accounts.
18014 Mr. COOKE said that the bankrupt had done all in his
210 power, but, although they were in a forward state, the ac.
4f countant had refused to go on until he was paid further on
account, and bankrupt was prevented from doing that by the
suspension of the allowance.
Mr. SOUTHGATE said the estate was materially deterio-
rated by the delay., as there were mortgages, leases, and
tce. rents mixed up together, and it was impossible for the assig-
nees to know the juetice of.the claims or their own rights.
-- The Learned CoMMISSIONER said that assignees were at
.„ all times justified in stopping the allowance to a bankrupt it
)72 he did not render,.not only ordinary, but effectual assistance
) to his assignees. The present; difikulty was one the Court
r bad to combat. and arose from traders not keeping prope,
6s books. The Legislature had not made the neglect directly
3s penal, but the Court was indirectly doing so, by leaving
'3 those who were culpably negligent unprotected, or at least
3% without the pale of itssympathy.
24 Mr. COOKE said the Court was most effectually working
9s the desired reform.
18s The Learned ComatisslONEß said adjournments must nqt
•• 7s takeplace from time to time at the expense of the estate; hi!
4'4 experience, however, was that assignees in general wer,
liberal, and if the bankrupt did his best perhaps the cost
,•t•y,i would not be required of him; the case would be adjourns
at the bankrupt's expense for three weeks, the accounts
be filed in three days. He would not then suggest the allo
),* ante until the bankrupt had evinced a strong desire
9t6 assi-t the assignees.

eq CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUET.
OLD COURT.
(Bef(..re the RECOEDEFt.)
Robert Glenroy and Malcolm Graham, aged respective;)
17 and 18, were indicted for a burglary in the house of Mr.
George Taylor, and stealing twenty-nine spoons and other
lee. articles. The evidence was perfectly clear, and the prisoners
were sentenced to ten years' transportation.
John Wilson, aged 20, a tailor, George Williams, aged 19, a
brass founder, and George Standish, aged 18, a labourer, Wert
charged with a burglary in the house of Mr. Henry herring,
of Farringdon-street.
It appeared that the two first prisoners, on the 23,1 of
January last, were seen loitering about the shop window 0!
Mr. Perring, and after a litte time one of them broke a
window, and abstracted a watch worth about 401., with
which they attempted to get away.
Their guilt was clearly proved. and Wilson was sentenced
to ten years' transportation, and. Williams to sevenyears' trans-
portation. Standish was near the place at the time, but the
evidence was insufficient to implicate him with the transac-
tion, and he was acquitted.
Alice Lee, a very respectable-looking person, of seventeen
years of age, charged with stealing a basket, a necklace,
and a quantity of beef, was sentenced to six months' impri-
sonment.

NEW COURT.
Before the COMMON-SERGEANT and Alderman WILLIAM
HUNTER.)
John Sibley, a peaiant, carman to George Lambert, O'd
Park, was indicted for stealing two bushels of split beans,
991bs. weight, the property of his master.
Evidence was calk!, which showed that he bad received
15 cwt. of beans, at Watson's-wharf, on the 16th of January,
and that the weight was deficient of 991bs. when he got home.
The prisoner, who was defended by Mr Horimr, accounted
for the deficiency by the horse's consumption. h
this The COMMON-SERGEANT, who made merry with
alle-
gation of the prisoner, that one horse should eat two bushels
of beans in the journey to London, said, it had never yet
been laid down by the Judges, that the giving of food to
horses or pigs contrary to the master's orders, constituted a
felony.
Mr. HORRY," who had frequently been interrupted by tl.e
jury during his address to them, finally submitted that
the jury must have evidence of the exact weight of the
beans at both ends of the journey, less that of one horse's
consumption, which bad not been laid before them, and
ended by requesting the Common-Sergeant to read to the
jury the depositions taken before the magistrate.
The Common-Sergeant was about to begin, when the fore-
man of the jury returned a verdict of acquittal.
The JUDGE, who had not sent the case to the jury, was
evidently taken by surprise with the nature of the verdict.
Eizabeth Brown and Mary Keif were indicted for stealing
from the person of John Golding, on the 26th January, in
Reynolds's-row, Southwark, a purse, containing eleven sove-
reigns and a pair of gloves. Brown had been in company I
with the prosecutor on the night when he missed his mow:3-, and
when she was taken into custody there was found on her four
sovereigns and some silver, a gold watch, and a silver watch. i
marked D. R., South. Western Railway, and belonging to c
one of the superintendents of the baggage department on
the South-Western line, who had been robbed some
time ago.
Mary Keif was acquitted, and Elizabeth Brown, being Sr
found guilty, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment
and hard labour. tt
