Duke of Algiers, and might have mentioned se- 1
veral other, if minor, instances of forts battered
and captured by British ships.
The Earl of HARDWICKE, 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 nem. con.,
and the LORD CHANCELLOR directed to commu-
municate the thanks of the Peers to the Officers
mentioned.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Third
Report on Earl CARDIG AN'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
had 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 (lid not interfere with making railways,
there were 58 notices of Bills for new railways.
Mr. WARBURTON, WllO 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 OS 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. FRESIIFIELD spoke
against it, and Mr HIN DE'S motion was lost on a
division by 15 to 144.
Mr. O'CONNELL announced his intention to call
the attention of the House to the State of Texas
on the 18th instant. If the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman would take a hint from us, we would
recommend him to stick to Ireland and leave the
Texans to take care of themselves. We hope
Mr. O'CONNELL'S interference is not suggested in
any roundabout way by the Catholic hierarchy
of Mexico.
Sir J. HOBHOUSE, in reply to questions put by
Sir R. IsGms, stated that he should lay more
papers on the table relative to the idolatrous
practices in India, and he thought when they were
before the House the Hon. Baronet would find
a good deal of satisfactory information in them.
A good deal had been (lone towards relieving
the British soldiers in India, from the grievances
of which they complained, and they were not
compelled to attend at any festival not consonant
to the Christian religion.
In reply to Sir EA RDLEY WILMOT, who
mentioned a case of a child imprisoned two
months for stealing an egg without any trial, the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was not instructed
1 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
the land, but some men out of pure benevolence
gloat on stripes, imprisonment, chain-gangs, and
hanging.
Mr. KELLY having ascertained from Mr. Fox
MAULS that the Government meant to bring
forward a measure relative to the punishment of
death, 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 MORFETH asked leave-to bring in a Bill to
amend 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-
Heve, 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 Monpurn's project.
Viscount HOWICK, to our great satisfaction,
' declared Ids 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'CosNEss 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, inwhich
the Tories abused the plan and the Reformers
praised it. We are much disposed to applaud
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 the
Tories seem to visit it at once with their wrath, we
hope that it will excite the enthwiastic support
of all the Liberalsin 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 Select Com-
mittee to inquire into the condition of the Colony
of South Australia, which he described as badly
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.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday announce that
the Fortifications Bill passed the Chamber of
Deputies article by article on Monday ; and on
the whole Bill being put to the vote, it was car-
ried by a majority of seventy-five-237 votes
being given for the Bill, and 175 against it. The
doom of Paris appears sealed. The walls will
perfect the system of centralization established
by N APOLEON, and France will be made to feel
under the ORLEANS dynasty a despotism more
oppressive and more powerful than she ever ex-
perienced under the galling yoke of the BouR-
BONS, even in the palmy days of Louts XI V.
and his successor. -Under the old regime, the
despotism of the SOVEREIGN was tempered
and ameliorated by a system of local Go-
vernment, which has now disappeared in
France. The Commune formed on the model
of a well-regulated family—the Province with
its federal rights and privileges—the Provincial
Parliaments, with their powers of refusing to
register the Royal decrees, and thus rendering
them inoperative—were all so many bulwarks of
liberty no longer existing in France. And what
has France obtained in lieu of them? A parch-
ment acknowledgment of the popular Sove-
reignty. A charter or constitution, two Cham-
bers, in which, so long as placemen, pensioners,
prefects, and other officers, are admissible, the
Crown can easily command a majority ; and, to
crown all, fourteen forts round Paris, a strong
wall of circumvallation, eighty bastions, and
2,600 pieces of cannon! With the charter
and the Chambers France might have
been content, the corporate rights which
she enjoyed under the Bourbons, but the
fortresses, the bastions, and the wall of cir-
cumvallation, virtually abolish the Charter, by
placing all power in the hands of the KING,
and reduce the Chambers to mere Courts for
the registration of the Acts of the Cabinet.
It is stated in the best informed political cir-
cles in Paris, that the energy displayed by
M. TRIERS in getting the Bill passed, has
entirely reinstated him in the good graces of
the KING, and that a time is actually fixed
for his return to office. M. TIMERS set a trap
for GUIZOT and SOULT, and both have been now
caught in it. By supporting the Fortifications'
Bill they have admitted that all the expenses
to which he put France in warlike preparations
against the Allies, were justified under the
then existing circumstances. They have even
clone more. They have, by now supporting the
Bill, assumed as a fact that France is still me-
naced by the Four Powers, and requires to guard
against a sudden invasion of her territory. It is
not enough, in the opinion of the KING and
courtiers to have fortresses—it is requisite that
they should be so placed and constructed as to
command every faubourg of the capital. With
so pliant a tool as THIERS at the head of the Mi-
nistry, this could be easily accomplished. But
after the exposures that have been made of the
duplicity of M. TIMERS, as Foreign Minister,
it is impossible to conceive how he could have
the audacity to accept, or the KING so much dis-
regard of the feelings of his Allies as to offer
him, that office. If to his smattering knowledge
of so many things, M. THIERS had added a smat-
tering of strategy, and the details of the Com-
missariat, the Ministry of War would be now the
grand object of his ambition. There he could
build fortresses after the KING'S own heart—
such as would have delighted the founders of
the Bastile, had they appeared in their day.
But M. TRIERS at present would be well content
with the Ministry of the Interior; but if he have
a seat in in the Cabinet during the life-time of
Louts PHILIPPE, then will the KING forfeit
the confidence and respect of every honest
patriot in Europe. The KING and the Minister
will be then on a level in all that regards aban-
donment of principle and reckless disregard of
personal character.
The much talked-of Treaty of Commerce be-
tween England and France is again on the tapir.
The following article upon it appears in the
Courricr Francais of Tuesday :

A j iurnal stated on Sunday that the British Govern-
ment wanted to know M. Gwzot's intentions on the sub-
ject of the Treaty of Commerce, the conclusion of which
had been suspended by the late events. It appears, in
fact, that Lord Palmerston has represented to the French
Cabinet, in • very urgent note, that the time had arrived
for signing that convention, iu case the Ministry of the
29th October adopted the basis laid down by the Ist March.
As the Treaty in question is limited to stipulating recipro-
cal reductions in the customs' duties, and as those reforms
are for the interest of both countries, there is no impedi-
ment to take it into consideration. We shall not advise
concessions to be made at this moment to England. But
if the British Government admits our wines, our brandies,
and our silks, at moderate duties, we have no reasonable
motive for rejecting the stuffs or merchandise which it may
send us in exchange for our produce.

Alvarez y Mcndivbal, Don Raman Madrio Bavila, and
Don Pedro Mendez Pizo.
There were some reports of a reduction of the
army, which we trust are well founded. There
was no political gossip afloat of the slightest in_
terest. The Madrid Fives, 291 for cash, and 291
for sixty days. Bargains were transacted to the
amount of 31,800,000 ma's. Debt with intest
for cash.

Belgian and German Journals of the latest
dates have been received. It was reported
in Brussels, on Sunday, that the Govern-
ment was preparing a general measure for repair-
ing all individual losses sustained during the Re-
volution, and also the losses sustained by the late
dreadful inundations.

The King of PRUSSIA has fixed the 28th of
February for the opening of the Provincial As-
semblies of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Prussia,
Posen, Silesia, Saxony, and Westphalia. The
Assembly of the province of the Rhine will meet
in May next, according to established usage.
A letter which we have received from St. Petersburgh,
says that a great sensation has been caused by the news
that the young Prince Gallitzen and Count Von Stackel-
berg, both of them belonging to the Russian Legation at
Rome, have embraced the Roman Catholic religion. It
is said that, besides being deprived of their titles of no-
bility, they are both threatened with the confiscation of
their property. Prince Gallitzen has great estates in
Russia. —Allgemeine Zeitung, Jan. 29.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

- -
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

There was a heavy market all day for the public
securities, and a disposition to sell. Money has become
deidedly t'ghter in the City, and especially in the Stock
Exchange, where, a short time back, it was worth so
little. There are fears now that the large supplies of
money that will be required by the French Government
to carry out the construction of the fortifications, must
be partly drawn from this country, or at any rate, by
absorbing large amounts of capital in France, will have
a tendency to influence unfavourably the Foreign Ex-
changes. These causes led to a reduction in Consols
from 89+ to 89, the latest bargains being at 891 for
Money ; and from 891 to 89+, closing at 89+ buyers
for Account ; Exchequer Bills were worth 3s. to ss.
premium ; and India Bonds 6s. to 14s. discount: Bank
Stock was lower, viz., 164 to 164} ; the Reduced
Three per Cents. ranged from 891 to 89i.
There was a heavy market still for the foreign semi-%
ritics. Spanish Active Bonds were at 241 to 24+ ;
Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 32 ; Brazilian at
72+ ; Mexican at 271, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 50.

The Railway Shares receded a little. Great Wes-
tern were as last marked, 251, London and Birming-
ham 85, York and North Midland 25 premium ;
Brighton were 7, and the South Eastern and Dover
Shares 15 discount ; Provincial Bank of Ireland New
Shares were at 7 premium.
The accounts received from Liverpool this afternoon
furnish no further information respecting the accounts
by the Cambridge packet from New York.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—Since our
report of Friday last a very fair extent of business bas
been done, and there was rather an improved tone in the
market. Up to yesterday prices were more steady than
during last week, but still the trade did not push their
purchases willingly, speculators showing more disposition
to buy. The sales to the latter during three days, say
Saturday, Monday, and yesterday, are about 4,500 bales,
all American ; to-day they are not in the market, which,
in concluence of the report from Manchester being not
so favourable, is flit, and the business doing moderate,
with a difficult) in obtaining the prices of yesterday. The
sales to-day arc about 2,000 to 2 500 bales of all 'kinds.

sterdam had not arrived at Antwerp.

SOCIETY OF PUBLIC EFFECTS, AMSTERDAM, JAN. 31
The firmness which prevailed yesterday in our prices
prevailed this day. sustained by the improvement of Lon-
don and Paris. Business was animated in Integrales, and
the liquidation in the Society of Commerce of this day
contributed to the activity of the transactions. Ardoin's
Spanish was likewise sought after above all the Coupons,
'hick improved 1 per cent. The decree relative to the
finance plan of the Regency, published in the Madrid
Gazette of the 22d, had a happy influence on the prices.
oupons remained at 21k; Ardoin's, 221 9-16chs.
The British Market continues rather heavy, in conse-
quence of the Supplies coming on to-morrow in the House
of Commons, and the speculators not knowing as yet the
measures Ministers intend to adopt in raising the wild, as
well as the amount they will require at present ; as yet it
is very uncertain if they will fund or raise it by a loan.

The Treaty of Commerce concluded between
France and Holland, of which a summary has
appeared in The Sun, was laid before the Cham-
ber of Deputies on Tuesday. During the same
sitting M. DUCHATEL,. Minister of the Interior,
brought forward his Bill for secret service
money, the debates upon which usually test the
stability of the Cabinet—as a vote in support of
that Bill is a vote of confidence in Ministers•
The sum demanded is a million of francs (40,0001.
sterling).
The passing of the Fortifications Bill had no
observable effect on the Funds, which through-
out the day were very languid,
M. Humann, the Minister of Finance, has refused to be
present at the Sitting of tl.c Chamber, because he consi-
ders the law for fortifying Paris is likely to prove tho ruin
of France. _ _

To the present hour we are without any papers or letters
from the Cambridge, New York packet ship.
The British ma: ket still continues heavy, with very little
doing;; the fluctuation has been during the course of the
morning, from 891 -1. and at present 891,f0r the Account ;
Money, 89i; Exchequer Bills lower 6 3 prem. ; 1 )(lie

A BIRMINGHAM TRADESMAN MADE A
Jenos.—We have received authentic information of the
advancement of Mr. George Willis, jun., to the high
office of a Judge in the West Indies, a gentleman who is
well known to many of our Birmingham readers. Thi,
gentleman, who for several years was in partnership with
his father in Birmingham, and carried on business under
the firm of Willis and Son, blank tray manufacturers and
japanners, left England about seven years ago for the
' West Indies. He took with him a considerable consign-
ment of Birmingham hardware, and established stores in
Jamaica. In a few months after he landed in that country
he was made a Magistrate, when he immediately com-
menced studying the law, under the tuition of a very able
practitioner. The zealous performance of his magisterial
duties, and the ability he displayed upon the bench, soon
obtained for him the approbation and support of the Go-
vernor; and within eighteen months of his arrival in the
c Tony he was honoured with the appointment of a stipen-
diary Magistrate, with a salary of 5101. per annum. In
three years afterwards he was made Assistant Ju.'gc,
at
1,0001. a year; and we are assured, on the authority of a
relative, that intelligence has been lately received in Bir.
mingham of our highly esteemed townsman Mr. George
Willis, having received the high honour of being appointed
a West India Judge, at a salary of 2,8001. per annum.
