We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

The Journal des Debuts has an article extending
over four columns, which is full of the most gloomy
forebodings as to the next harvest. It prophecies a
failure of all the crops of 1847, and urges the neces-
sity of taking immediate measures to secure immense
importations of corn and provisions during the course
of the ensuing year. Speaking of the prospects of
the future, the Debuts says—
"ln such a matter we can only have probsbilites for
the basis of reasoning. But then the subject is of such
gravity, that however slight the probability may be,
hesitation is not to be permitted, and we must, under
the penalty of incurring a terrible responsibility, reso-
lutely take the side to which the probability leans. Now
what is it that probability indicates for the next harvest?
As regards grain, properly so called—wheat sad rye,—
the abundance of the next harvest is the secret of the
future. We ought to believe that we shall have the
ordinary quantity. It appears, however, that the recent
cclds, which have been late and intense, have injured
the rye in some cantons of the south. Let us, however,
pass over that circumstance until it shall be better proved.
Bat there is another harvest, the fate of which is at
present certain; we shall not have this year more than half
of the ordinary potato crop. The malady, which came un-
expectedly to attach itself obstinately to this product, and
against which all the art of our farmers, and all the
science of our academies, hare failed, has destroyed the
potato almost everywhere before it could be sown; and
where it has been presorted, it has become so 11110114011Siy

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the
Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire.
" Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1346.
"To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.
81r —I feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to
10,--"4 you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking
".r8 Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was fre-
Stientl laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business
!or months at a time. I had often been advised to try Illair's Pills,
Old It was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in.
ilneed to take them, and from which I found speedy relief. This is
several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack
comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business.
• I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" SAMUEL DIXON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
_
_6-itiable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu-
matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age,
4 `'ne have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the corn-
tinity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the
lkortant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the
efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommen-
dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective
, tout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica,
bago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-
. &e. They require neither confinement nor attention of any
Zwel. and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain,
or other vital part.

THE LAW OF MARRIAGE.

Lord GORT presented a number of petitions from
Bristol, Cheltenham, and various other places, against
the law prohibiting marriage with a deceased wife's
sister. The petition was signed by many Dissenting
ministers and medical gentlemen, who all bore testimony
to the contusion created in families by the present law.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition signed by
42 attornies and 2 barristers of the city of Bath upon
the same subject, complaining of the uncertainty which
hung over the law as it at present stood. He begged,
however, to state his opinion that there was no uncer-
tainty hanging over the law at present, for, by an Act
carried through their Lordship' House by Lord
Denman in 1835, such marriages were declared null and
void, without being declared void by the ecclesiastical
law, as was r2quired by the statutes of Henry VIII.
They add the fact, that a great number of marriages
had been contracted since 183.5 on the speculation that
the general principle of these marriages would be made
valid ; and they wished, above all, to know whether
the innocent children were to b e legitimate or not. He
thought, therefore, that there was a sufficient reason why
the general principle should be opened up, for it was but
natural that parents should desire to place their children
under the protection of those who were the nearest re-
lations to them, and there was, therefore, sufficient
reason for a full investigation of the whole question.
Lord CAMPBELL did not rise with a view to ex-
press any opinion upon the subject, for upon that his
mouth was closed by the result of a recent trial in the
provinces. Upon the death of the prisoner's wife he
married her sister, and while that woman was still alive
he left her and married a third wife. He
was indicted for bigamy, and the defence put
in was that that marriage was void, because the
second ceremony had been celebrated between him and
the sister of his deceased wife. The cause thus raised
the question, and it had been brought by writ
of error before their Lordship's House ; there-
fore, he thought that that was enough for
their Lordships refusing to give any opinion at pre-
sent upon the question. He would be very sorry to see
the law upon this subject, the marriage of a man with
his deceased wife's sister, altered, for tills law which had
been instituted against incest affected affinity as well as
consanguinity.
Lord BROUGHAM was very sorry that he had not
been made aware of this case coming on before he ex-
pressed his mind, but still he would hear counsel upon
the case, and if he saw reason, no doubt he would change
his opinion.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1847.

The Royal Assent was given by Commission to
various Bills
The Lords re-assembled at Five o'clock.

The Waterworks' Clauses Bill, the Gasworks'
Clauses Bill, the Markets and Fairs' Clauses Bill, and
the Commissioners' Clauses Bill were respectively
read a third time and passed.
Lord BROUGHAM explained that he had not
changed his opinions with regard to arrest on
weine process, and he thought that the manner in
which the late law, authorising imprisonment for
fogy days for small debts, had been overstretched by
the Commissioners, would lead to the entire abolition
of imprisonment for debt. In reference to a petition
frosi Nottingham which claimed for the labourers a
600 of support out of the produce of the land, the
Noble and Learned Lord declared emphatically that,
in his opinion, the only title which any.able-bodied
poor man had to support was upon the produce of his
own work.

Lord CoLvii.nt then drew the attention of the
House to the vote which had been given in the late
election of a Scotch Representative Peer, by a person
calling himself Lord COLVILLE, of Ochiltree, and
moved for a return of the list of voters on that oc-
casion, which was agreed to.
Earl GREY, in moving the adjournment to the 15th
of April, announced that on their re-assembling, their
Lordships would meet in the New House.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
The Commons met at Four o'clock.
The second reading of the Dublin Improvement
Bill was, on the motion of Mr. GREGORY, postponed
until after Easter.
In answer to a question, Captain BERKELEY said he
bad
every reason to believe that a commission would
be issued to inquire into the administration of the
Merchant Seamen's Fund.
Mr. SPOONER then moved
for leave to bring in a
Bill to suppress trading in sed •
uction and prostitution,
which WaS ultimately granted.
Mr. G. BERKELEY rose to order.
Member to make good his case must The Hon.
go into details

therefore, called the Speaker's attention to the lact
that there were strangers in both galleries. The gal-
leries were ordered to be cleared, and the debate pro-
ceeded with closed doors.

On the opening of the galleries we found Lord
Mozmirra moving for leave to bring in a Bill to Im-
prove the .Health of Towns, which was granted.
Various returns on the motion of several Hon.
Members were then ordered.

On the question being put for the House going into
Comatitto on the Army Service Bill,

Mr. HUME wished to know whether a private Bill
ou the subject of paving, cleansing, and lighting, which
had been referred to a private Committee, the evidence
upon which the Committee had refused to hear, would
be referred to any other Committee?
Sir G. GREY had no doubt that under the provisions
of the Bill to be introduced by his Noble Friend (Lord
Morpeth) all Bills of that nature would be referred to a
Select Committee.

TEXAS.

We have received the following letter in reply to
some remarks which have appeared in the different
journals regarding emigration to Texas :
SlR,—The eagerness with which the Government
emigration agents have seize,l upon the slight expression
of the Acting British Vice-Consul at Galveston, suffi-
ciulitly indicates the alarm they feel lest emigration
should be diverted to Texas from the less-favoured Bri-
tish colonies whose interests they have the honour of
representing.

Besides ti-crowd of other writers, Mr. Kennedy, very
lately Consul in Texas, publishes a book lavishing un-
qualified praise on climate soil and advantages; he had
travelled not with the mere view of satisfying an un-
profitable curiosity, but encharged with the serious duty
of making a true report with views to lucrative
operations.
Against such testimony is placed the loose allegation
of the young shopkeeper of Galveston, Mr. Arthur
Lynn, appointed by the said Consul Kennedy, on his de-
parture for England, to act ad interim.
Mr. Lynn's knowledge of the interior is believed to be:
very circumscribed, but be it what it may, he has far tots
much sense of his obligation to Mr. Kennedy, to intend
holding him up for an impostor—the inference therefore
is, that Texas has been praised for climate, &c., by some
yet more enthusiastic writer than Kennedy, and as the
instance adduced by Mr. Lynn relates to the German
settlers, the ardent eulogium he complains of is probably
to be found printed in that language.
Having myself, seen a good deal of Texas, and of
other parts of the world, and moreover being a lover of
fair play, I make bold to assert, that although there are
unhealthy portions near the coast, the upper country,
the counties of Milam, Robertson, Bexar, &c., are of
climate more delightful and healthy than I ever ex-
perienced in any other part of the world, and that in
point of soil Texas possesses a larger portion of the
very best, intermixed with less of the worst, than any
other state I have visited. In regard to the term " ad-
vantages," I am unable to comprehend what Mr. Lynn
might mean, but, if he was thinking of streams and
minerals, it would be difficult to name an extent of coun-
try that is so rich in them.
The German emigration was too rapidly pressed—the
well. doing of the first settlers at Braunsfels has been re-
ported home, and sett all Germany emigration mad—the
ships have been over-crowded, the old and sick and
sedentary would not consent to be left behind by their
relatives, the strength of some has, by inevitable se-
quence, failed on the route. The pious weakness that
suffered such persons to accompany an expedition calcu-
lated, at first, for only healthy and laborious agricultur-
ists, may be blamed, but it appeals to the best sym-
pathies of our nature; and if the victims choose to take
the risk, we may lament their infatuation, but ought to
inculpate neither the climate nor the prudence of the
emigration scheme.

FOREIGN TARIFFS.

Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to know when the re-
turns he had moved for, on the subjt ct of foreign tariffs
in relation to this country, would be laid upon the table
of the House ?

Mr. HAWES said that the returns would be laid be-
fore the House as soon as possible.
PUBLIC W ORICS (IRELAND).
Mr. LABOUCIIERE wish€d to correct a statement
which he had made a few nights since with re-
spect to the reduction of the number of persons em-
ployed on the public works in Ireland. He then
stated that it was the intention of the Government to
'rake an aggregate reduction in the numbers employed,
leaving. at the same time a discretionary power with the
Lord-Lieutenant as to the numbers to be reduced. The
Lord Lieutenant had, however, conceived that no dis•
eretion was vested in him, and that the officers of the
Board of Works were the only authorities by whom any
discretion could be exercised upon the subject. He
(Mr. Labouchere) believed that the Lord-Lieutenant in
so deciding had acted upon a perfectly sound and correct
principle, and he regretted having misled the House
upon the subject of the discretionary power to be vested
with the Lord-Lieutenant.

Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN quite concurred in the
opinion just expressed by the Right Hon. the Secretary
for Ireland, as to the propriety of leaving the exercise of
discretion in the hands of the officers of the Board
of Works.

GE E MIT 0 A/VIAL GAM AT I 0 N )

The LEARNED GENTLEMAN explained the origin of the
Caledonian line, which had been constructed on the recom-
mendation of the Government Commissioners. The Caledonian
line started from Carlisle in the south, and after proceeding
to Carnwatb, it forked out to Edinburgh on the one side, and
on the other by the Clydesdale Junction to Glasgow. By
the Monkland and Kirkigtulloch, and Gairnkirk lines, a con-
nexion was made with the Scot tishCentral line and the north
side of Glasgow. On the south side of the line at Glasgow,
a junction was formed with the Greenock line by means of
the Pollock -and Govan line. Thus the Caledonion scheme
would connect in the most efficient manner the most
important districts in Scotland. Now, it was proposed
to open up by the present Bill a direct communication
between the extensive mineral fields of Lanarkshire and the
port of Greenock, the most important harbour in Scotland.
As an instance of the vast importance of the Lanarkshire
mineral fields, he might instance that in one year alone the
Monkland coal field yielded 200,000 tons of iron, requiring
a consumption of 600,000 tons of coal. Such was the im-
mense traffic of the district that at one time the Monkland
Canal shares were as high as 3,0001. each. The Learned
Gentleman then alluded to the importance of Greenock as a
port and towns and that it consumed yearly about
220,000 tons of coal. The increased advantages which the
present Bill would confer was a more economical working
of the line in working and management, and by bringing
coal from the mineral fields direct to the port of Greenock.
It would also enable the Greenock line to compete more
successfully with the steamers on the Clyde. The Learned
Gentleman having amplified on these points, sat doWn.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow, at twelve
o'clock.

GROUP L.

The Committee met at twelve; Kir. Bankes in the chair.
GLASGOW, DAR.R.NEAD, AND NZILSTON

BRANCH.
M. Henderson's cross-examination was proceeded with
this morning, in reference to the supply of coals to Paisley.
The CHAIR3IAN suggested that the Greenock and the Darr-
head schemes ought, in consideration of their own interests,
not to risk the result of a contest between schemes so identi-
cal, when there was a third opponent.
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY acquiesced in the suggestion, and
begged the Committee would adjourn till Thursday, or pro-
ceed with other Bills. _

The CHAIRMAN' refused to accede to a further adjournmen
than for one hoar. _ _ _ .

The room was then closed till two o'clock, in hopes that a
mutual amalgamation of the two schemes might be brought
about.
On meeting again, Counsel said the two companies had
mutually agreed to continue as one scheme against the
Hurlet Company, and, in order to facilitate the reception of
evidence, they had arranged to take, the line as laid down by
the Barrhead Company south of Dykebar, and the line north
of that to Paisley as laid down by the Greenock Company.
Mr." Homes, manufacturer in Paisley, Mr. Peacock, coal-
master, and Mr. Menzies gave evidence of the advantage
arising to Paisley from the propos,ed line, which would open
up the Lanark coal to the east, and effect a ready transit of
goods to Glasgow and other places.
Sir Benjamin Hall, before the Committee adjourned, stre-
nuously advised both parties to come to an understanding,
and end the remaining opposition between the Horlet Com-
pany and the Amalgamated Company
The Committee then adjourned until Thursday.
