&generating into a selfish and arbitrary Government?
The future will respond to these inquiries in tones of
thunder.

The annual motion of Mr. Ew ART for the abolition
of capital punishment came on on Tuesday evening in
the House of Commons. It is a subject which yearly
increases in interest. Every civili:,ed nation must be
desirous of entertaining the question, whether, con-
sistently with the repression of the highest crimes of
which human nature can be guilty, the infliction of
extreme punishment can be safrly dispensed with.
The greater the advance which any country makes in
civilisation the stronger will be the desire to consider
the merits of the question ; because, whilst hitherto
the general history of states, as well refined as bar-
barian, proves that they have always felt the necessity
of having the power of depriving criminals of life in
certain cases, yet is the question not hereby concluded.
A strong presumption is herein # stablished in favour
of retaining the extreme penalty of the law ; but the
precedents of history bind no farther. All laws are
framed in accordance with the results of experience;
it is, therefore, of necessity, that laws, to he sound, should
be changed conformably with the variations of expe-
rience. W here the antecedents differ, their consequences
will exhibit a corresponding difference. A set of political
circumstances prevailing in one century, would as
naturally vindicate the propriety of a given law at
one period, as their non-existence or material modi-
fication at another, would as effectually dictate the
reasonableness of its total or partial abrogation.
The main point, then, to be regarded, in attempting
to determine whether it would be wise to abolish
capital punishment is, not whether the existing
law is effectual in preventing, as far as any
law can, the criminal atrocities, but whether certain
social changes have intervened, in the feelings, morals,
and habits of the people, such as would empower us
to constitute a secondary punishment of sufficient
stringency to be equally preventive in its effect with the
capital, to which we still adhere. If this could be
made out, public executions should be forthwith done
away with. To ascertain, however, whether society
has become so far improved as to justify the exten-
sive change in the law which the instincts of philan-
thropy, apart from the more sober influences of cool and
unimpassioned wisdom, are ready enough to sanction
we must profoundly weigh the fresh data, or new
arguments (if any) which are presented to us by
those who seek to expunge the sentence of death
from our criminal code.

Throughout the debate of Tuesday evening we look
in vain, either to Mr. EWART, or to those Rho spoke in
favour of his motion, for any novel matter, or con-
vincing reasonim.s, to assist the wish which so many
must naturally cherish that the punishment of the
gallows could with safety be relinquished. We
quite agree with the Secretary for the Home De-
partment, who said, " he was persuaded that pub-
lic opinion, so far from be.ng in favour of the
entire abolition of the punishment, would be greatly
shockqd and outraged by such a measure." The
motion was rejected by a majority of two to one.

The resolutions recentiy adopted by the grand jury
of the county of Limerick are deserving of serious
and attentive consideration. They emanate from
'gentlemen having considerable stakes in the country,
and although we may not agree with them in the
conclusions at which they have arrived, yet, as they
are couched in temperate and gentlemanly language,
and do full justice to the good intentions of the Go-
vernment, and speak in terms of lively grati-
tude for the exertions and sacrifices, both
publicly and privately, made by the English
people for the relief of their famishing pour, it
gives them an additional claim to that cool and dis-
passionate consideration.
The resolutions are of a threefold character; the
first series attacking (as usual) the Labour-rate Act,
and attributing what are terme I the failures in legis-
lation, not to a want of the best intentions on the
part of the Ministry, but to a want of knowledge on
their part of the social, moral, and political circum-
stances of the country, and deducing as a corollary
that such changes should be made as would place a
greater control both in the making and administration
of the laws in persons conversant therewith, or, in
other words, a domestic Legislature and executive.
We doubt not that many of the gentlemen who
affixed their signatures to the document in
question would be much astonished at finding
that they had thereby given in their adhesion
to the doctrirais of repeal. NV ith whatever
qualification, however it may be taken, it seems to
us extremely like such a declaration, and we doubt
not that the parties making it would he considered as
qualified for admission into Conciliation Hull on the
strength thereof. It is, however, too ridiculous to
ascribe such ignorance of Irish affairs to our rulers.
The most remote district of Ireland is easily ac-
cessible at the present day ; and greater facilities for
intercourse now exist with that country than was the
case even within our own memories with many
of the English counties, and far greater than
with Scotland. Irish affairs have unfortunately
~ccupied so prominent a position for many years pasts
that it would be utterly impossible for any person de-
sirous of distinguishing hinisElf in the House, or of
becoming an aspirant for office, to do so without
making himself fully acquainted with the subjectt
The attention of the chief members of the Cabinet
has fur many months past been almost exclusively
devoted to the consideration of measures relating to
Ireland, and little business of any other description
has as yet been transacted in either branch
of the Legislature. We find that the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland is an Irish nobleman, a resi•
dent landlord in that country, that several Irishmen
me members of the Cabinet, besides ninny others
holding important offices in the Ministry; it is there-
fore hard to say that the Clwernment are not fully
conversant with the peculiarities of the social
condition Of Ireland, as much so as if it was
entrusted solely to leishmen, and conducted in the
sister kingdom. The oljeetions to the Labour-rate
Act are now so hacknied, and their fallacy and injus-
tice have been so often exposed in our columns,
that it is almost unnecessary again to revert to them.
We may, however, lively state that it was its abuse
that led to its failure. Had it been carried into exe-
cution in the spirit in which it was conceived and
sanctioned, it would have been found a most valu-
able auxiliary, but the mischief was occasioned by
seeking to make it the sole means of support of the
people, and casting en it the entire burden of their
maintenance.

The second series of resolutions are condemnatory
of the larger electoral divisions as the area of
taxation, and urge the propriety of giving the
tenants compensation for permanent improvements
on fair and equitable terms; and they propose a limita-
tinn of the rates beyond which no division should be
taxed for its own poor, any surplus to be defrayed
from a natio:lel rate leviable on every description of
property, real or personal. The third declares that the
affliction should be looked on as a national calamity,
and the burden borne by all interests of the nation.
We may remind the gentlemen who have
triopted these resolutions that the Legislature
has already decided that one.half of the expenditure
shall be defrayed by the Imperial Exchequer, without
any prospect of return from Irish resources, and that
payment of the remaining moiety is to be accepted
by easy instalments from the persons whose proper-
ties are prima facie liable, and that, therefore, there
is no just ground for the complaints they have
uttered. Our space this day prevents us from giving
that consideration to the suggestions contained in the
second series of which they aie deserviug, and which
we shall devote to them on a future occasion.

'Munich, it appears, has been the scene of great dis-
order 3. A letter from that city, dated March 3, says—
. " The University, from which the Jesuit party had suc-
ceeded in expelling all the professors suspected ut
and in replacing then by others devoted to themselve!,, has
been particularly forward in loudly manifesting its sympa-
les the late Ministry. The professors held an ex-
:raordinary meetimi at which they (.4Elx:rated for a long
time, whether they s'iould make a deity nitration in favour
of M. D'A;.ak and suers +e to him their regrets. The majority
decided that this demonstration should not be made. The
Government. having been informed that four professors had
on this occa:ioa shown a strong spirit of hostility to the
King, has deprived them of their professorships. One of
them, M. Lasseaux, professor of theology, put up a notice
in the interior of the Uuiversity that he had t, topped his
course of lectures, as he was not allowed any longer to re-
ceive students, and bidding the students adieu. This pro-
duced a great degree of agitation. A considerable number
of students, who were joined in the way by some of the
common people, weut to the ex-professor's !louse, and
saluted him with cries of • Long live Lasseaux.' This was
followed by some cries of • Lola Montes,' and the crowd
want to that celebrated lady's house and broke the I
windows. Upwards of six thousand persons were

at one time assembled before her house, who gave 1
rent to seditious and hostile cries of the most serious
kind. The streets being covered with ice, the populace
11,id plenty nf materials to break windows with., The
troops were called out, but were not able to suppress the
die irder, which continued for a great portion of the night.
Several other hous,s were tianroged, and even the palate was
not spared, several Of t widows having been broken. The
following day, the 2(1 of March, the crowds assembled in
different parts of the town uttering seditious cries. The
Government took energetic measures. The troops were sent
to the barracks, and the municipal guard was called out.
The town, by the last accounts, was quiet. The King, who
bad intended to appoint M D'Abel, President of the Re-
gency of Passau, has now determined to send him as ambas-
sador to the Hague, and has ordered him to repair to his post
without delay."

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
he diqmssion in the Chamber of Deputies on the
prdpos:tion of M. FouLD was brought to a conclusion
that day, and the proposition itself rejected. In the
course of the discussion the Finance Mini ster, M. LACAVE
LAPLANGE, repeated the assurances which he had pre-
viously given that no loan would be required, and that
the Treasury was in no difficulty whatever. The dis-
ctission on the proposition of M. DIIVERGIER DE HAD-
RANNE, on the subject of electoral reform, is fixed for
the 22d March.
The Prince DE Jot:MILLE left Paris for Toulon on
Sunday. _ _

M. BARBET DE JOBY, late French Consul at the
:Mauritius, whose absurd vagaries there occupied the
public attention for a few days a short time since, has
been appointed Consul at Larnaca, in the island of
Cyprus-a post of inferior rank to the one he formerly
occupied.
The Bordeaux mail arrived on Monday morning in
Paris, but without bringing the Madrid mail. As there
was nothing in the state of the weather to account for
its son-arrival, all sorts of rumours were in circulation
in Paris on the subject of Spanish affairs. One rumour
was to the effect that there had been a simultaneous
Carlist rising in the Basque provinces and in Catalonia;
that the Carlists had taken possession of several towns,
from which they bail expelled the public authorities, and
that all communication between Madrid and Paris was
cut off. Certain it is that the authorities in the Basque
provinces have been for some time past greatly alarmed,
as is evident from the fact, that the authorities of Gui-
puscoa have petitioned to be allowed to remove the
Government from the open town of Guipuscoa, the capi-
tal of the province, to the fortress of St. Sebastian. In
the meantime the Palace of Madrid is the scene of the
greatest disorders. So disgusted is the QUEEN with her
husband, that she intends, it is said, to apply to the Pore
fir a divorce. All personal communication between
them has long since ceased, and they now seldom
see each other. Such are the miserable effects
of the selfishness of the KING of the FREI:CLI.- What
cares he for the happiness of the unfortunate young
Queen of SPAIN ? The sooner she falls a victim to
these constant excitements the better will it be for his
views. It was not without an object that Don FRAN
CISCO D'Assts was preferred by M. GUIZOT to Dun
ENRIQUE ; and yet M. GUIZOT is lauded to the skies as
the pink of decency and morality. Morality has its
Tartuffes as well as religion.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. 1
(From The Sun ot Ni4ht.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
1,200 bales. The market was dull, and in prices there was
.o attera.ion.—Hallway Shares were neglected.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Dimond
and Co., went oft very flatly, and prices were considered a
shade lower. During the the Count de Montemolin
'ntered, and seemed much interested by the method of dis-
posing of the property.
Favonr.;ble advices have come to hand from Jamaica,
Barbadoes, and other of the principal West India colonies, as
to the state of the crops and the progress in sugar mak .
ing, but the competition to which the planters are now
:pen still excited complaints. It is to be hoped it will have
the far better effect of inducing renewed energy, and the ap-
plication of improved methods of cultivation.
There is some complaint of irregularity in the arrivals
of' the steamers at Barbadoes, but the weather seems to have
been the principal cause of this.
From Mexico the intelligence to hand is most dishearten-
ing. The army of Santa Anna was sorely in want of
supplies, and there was no prospect of funds being raised to
,rosecute, with anything like success, the contest with the
Americans, who were steadily making their way. The
steamer has a valuable bullion freight from Yera Cruz and
Tampico, but al: en private account.
The accounts from Paris are more cheerful, but here there
is a pressure for money, and discounts are ranging higher.
From 414 to 5 per cent. is now the charge upon first-rate
paper, and the intention of the Bank of England not to make
loans upon stock for longer periods than a fortnight, during
the closing of the transfer books, tightens the marker.
Consols have been 89% 14 for present transfer, and
891/4 4 for time. Consols Scrip have been down to
discount, and is now about par. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 91 to 90i. Bank Stock has
fallen to 204 and 202. Exchequer-bills have been at ss.
to Is. premium. There have been a good many tales, and
the market is very flat.
The Foreign Funds are quite neglected. Old Portuguese
Bonds have realised 84; and Spanish Three per Cents. 34 :1
Chilian Bonds have been worth 94; Belgian Four-and-a
Half per Cents. have been at 96; and Dutch Two-and-a•
Half per Cents. 57% to 57%. Railway Shares are affected
by the decline in Stocks.
