Celt UsLE.—John Thompson, who was on Thum-
day last convicted of poisoning bis wife by administering
arsenic to her, has made the following confession :
"To the Chaplain of the gaol. I sun a guilty man. I
went and bought that stuff at the druggist's shop. I
bought some of it twice. The first time a fortnight
before Whitsuntide ; and again I bought more about two
days before my wife died. I mixed it amongst oatmeal,
and sometimes amongst butter, or amongst anything
that was likely to be given to her. Margaret Kane had
no knowledge whatever of what I was doing to my wife.
I first began to give arsenic to her about three weeks
before she died. I did not give it her myself, but only
mixed it amongst what was likely to be given her. My
object in poisoning my wife was that I might marry
Margaret Kane. I lived with lNiargaret Kane just as a
,uteetnn
man and wife about six months previous to my wife's
death. I never told Margaret Kane:that I was a married
man, but she had been told by the neighbours that I was
married. I lived with my wife on terms of the greatest
love ande h affection
marry her, before I
ad became
that
we_ m garet Kane, for twenty years. Margaret Kane pressed
vaaadcqnted with Mae.
euai
me more anxious
to poison my own wife. I hereby declare this my con-
fession to be true.—(Signed) JOHN THOMPSON.

The price of Scotch pig-iron delivered free on board here
may be quoted at 48s. per ton, net cash, for mixed num-
bers. Our market has this week participated in the
depression prevailing in the money market, a decline of
fully 2s. having taken place since Monday last, notwith-
standing the continuation of the strike amongst the

Mr. B. ESCOTT wished to present a petition to

Honourable IY..ember for Sunderland (Mr. Hudson). It
was from a :tr. J. A. Gordon, who stated that he was a
shareholder iiu a railway from Bristol to Portbury, and
that the sh cres of that line were at a discount—
(Laughter)- - that in the neighbourhood of the line there

RAILWAYS FOR IRELAND.

Mr. COLLETT would wish to nut a question to her
Majesty's Government as to whether it was their inten-
tion to give any assistance to those railway companies
from whom. baronial presentments had been made.
There had been a presentment made in the barony of
Cremoyne, in the north of Ireland, for the assistance of
a local railway, and the directors were most willing to
take the support of the able-bodied labourers from the
relief committee.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there had been a
general rule to give assistance to those companies en-
gaged in making the earth works, and if any peculiar
case arose it would be competent for the directors to
memorialise the Government.
SESSIONAL ORDERS.

Mr. HUME begged to ask a question of the
Speaker as to the rules of the House. By a rule of the
House the Speaker was bound to leave the chair at six
o'clock on Wednesdays, and no Member was permitted to
speak. Now, he understood that after that hour
the division of the House was declared.—(Hear, hear.)
The question was, could the report bf the division be
received after six o'clock? If they deviated five minutes
they might as well deviate fifty minutes.
The SPEAKER said, the Hon. Member was right in
stating that the House must be adjourned at six o'clock
without putting the question. But this must take place
when there was not a division, and the doors were
unlocked. In the present instance there was a division,
and the doors were locked at six o'clock. He could not
therefore, in pursuance of the standing nr.ler, adjourn
the House till after the division, and when the doors
were opened. —(Cheers.)
MEASURES FOR IRELAND—THE BUDGET.
Sir A. BROOKE wished to know the intentions of
the Government as to the course they intended to take
respecting the measures proposed for Ireland.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, the Honourable Gen-
tleman wished for the information of the Irish Members
to know the course the Government intended to
take. What they proposed to do was to go into Com-
mittee on the Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill to-night.
This was a Bill to sanction the proceedings which had
taken place under the direction of the Lord-Lieutenant.
With regard to the other Irish Bills, he did not think of
going into Committee at present, as there were several
amendments proposed to be made in them. On
Monday next he proposed that either himself or the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would make the financial
statement, after which he would propose the second
reading of the Railway Bill. He did not
think they would 8 o on with any Irish measures
that night; on next Friday, he would propose going into
a Committee of Supply fur the voting of the naval
estimates; and on Monday fortnight he would bring
under the consideration of the House the Irish Bills
now postponed, namely, the Bills fur the Improvement
of Irish Estates, aid fur the Relief of the Poor.
The Earl of LINCOLN wished to know what were
the nature of the amendments ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said they were mainly of a
technical cha acter. He had no objection to:the Bills b.•ing
committed pro forma now, and recommitted on Monday
fortnight.

many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit t no ap•
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
'IOUS F, OF LORDS, Feb. 19.
The LORD CHANCELLOR touk his scat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
CROWN LANDS, ROSCOMMON.
The Marquis of NV ESTNIENTH nieved for returns
of the amount of the costs incurred in the manage-
ment of the Crown estates in the county of Roacommon.
His object in moving for these returns was to show to
their Lordships the state of land in Ireland. The estates
in question comprised about 200 acres ; and he believed
it' those returns were granted that he should be able to
slow their Lordships that for the last fifteen years
not one farthing of rent had been paid, and consider-
able costs incurred in the management of those estates.
He asked for an improvement of the law for the sake of
the people themselves, for he believed that it entailed the
greatest evil upon them. It inigut do very well for pro-
perty situated in '.‘lilale!•:ex, but was by no means
adapted for the state of things which existed in Ireland.
The motir.n was agreed to.
DISTILLING FROM SUGAR BILL

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
Anti-Slavery Society against the use of sugar
in distilleries, as they believed it would tend very much
to encourage slavery by the increased stimulus it would
give to the growth of sugar. Since last autumn, when
the late change had been made in the differential duties
on sugar, the rage for sugar planting in Brazil had pro-
ceeded to an incredible extent, and the consequence
had been that the coffee plantations had been greatly
neglected.

SALT DUTIES.

The RIGHT How. BaaoNET also presented a petition
from a salt manufacturer of Liverpool. The petitioner
stated, that, in consequence of an application
made to the East India Company with respect
to the import:stnin of salt into Calcutta,
he received an assur.ince that salt might be exported to
that place in the same woy that other articles were usu-
ally exported. In consequence of this statement, a con-
siderable exportation of salt took place to the East
Indies, and to the great surprise of the owners, there
were very heavy duties found to be imposed, and on
application being made for permission to land the salt,
it was at once refused, and thus considerable loss was
entailed upon the exporters. The petition prayed that
the House would interpose its authority to prevent the
reeurrence of such a circumstance in future.
RAJA. OF SATTARA.
Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Lambeth, praying for an inquiry into the
case of the Raja of Sattara.
RATE-PAYING CLAUSES IN THE REFORM

Captain PECHELL presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Brighton, praying for the repeal of the
rate-paying clauses in the Roforta Act, which they con-
sidered as unsound in policy and unjust in principle, and
contrary to the spirit of the Reform Act.
POOR-LAW FOR IRELAND.
Mr. HUTT presented a petition from a number of
persons, praying the Governiuent to pass a poor-law for
I: eland.
AMENDMENT OF SCOTTISH LAW.

gave notice for that Hon. Member, that when the
Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was brought under the
consideration the ['louse. he would IllOVe that any plan
having for its object the advancement of loans to the Irish
landed proprietors was unjirit. unless the same principle
of taxation which was applied to the proprietors of land
in Great Britain wasEMIGRATION. extended to them.
Mr. V. SMITH gave notice that, on the 4th of March,
he would bring under the consideration of the House

tend to the city of London the provisions of the Act passed

consequence of the existing differences between the Court
of Aldermen and Common Council, and he thought it much
better to postpone the consideration of this Bill until
