alleviated, and their pangs of body assuaged. Colic, typhus
fever, intermittent and low fevers, dysentery of the most
violent description, diarrhoea, and negative indisposition,
such as debility and spasmodic seizures, are rife in almost
every district throughout the length and breadth
of that unhappy land. Only a single county, in
fact, in this mournful catalogue, has attached to its
name the brief, satisfactory and emphatic corollary—" Nil"—
sad that county is CARLOW. That ailments of this acute and
contagious character should lae thus prevalent, is, however
matter of little astonishment on turning to the other docu-
ment of which we have already made especial mention—
being a return of the average price of potatoes in the various
market-towns in Ireland. Comparing the price of that es-
sential commodity during the January of the last five years
—a contrast which testifies in many instances the extraordi-
nary fact, that potatoes are selling in 1846, in
many towns, at more than double the sum re-
quired during a corresponding date in 1840 ; that a
yet greater number of markets average exactly double that
amount; and that the majority show a vast increase of price
with a correspondingly greater deerease of quality in pota-
toes at the present season as compared with the seven
years preceding. After a perusal of these documents, it
becomes incumbent upon every right-thinking man to strive
individually, as well as in concert with his neighbours, to
further the wishes of the Prime Minister as far as private co-
operation in his measures is concerned: this, in short, is not only
incumbent upon us as members of a body politic, it is our
solemn and bounden duty as men and as Christians. Hence
it is, that we are filled with a more particular anxiety than
ever to witness the proposition that the House form itself
into a Committee for the purpose of taking the condition of
Ireland into consideration, as promised by Lord Jame Rus-
SELL, and the yet earlier movement of a similar character,
as promised by Lord GREY. Sentiment will not suffice any
longer—action, action, action is necessary I

would not forget the duty imposed on them, not to compro- '
mise the hospitality they received. What would be the
feelings of the Chamber, were it to learn that Abd.el- Kader
was receiving assistance from a foreign power ? Was there
any one in that assembly but would feel that the interests of
France were thwarted by such a proceeding? He begged
the Chamber not to lose sight of those facts, and of the posi-
tion in which they placed the Government. He was anxious
that those who claimed and obtained the hospitality of
France, should find so good a rule for their conduct. France
wished to be a place of refuge for misfortune, but not a re-
sort for conspirators."—(Approbation from the Centres.)
The Opposition press, as we have stated, expresses indig-
nation at this reply. The Constitutionnel, more mild than
the rest, thus characterises the Ministry :
" They are Conservatives no longer, as they might be at
London or in Paris, but as they are at St. Petersburgh and at
Vienna. They are of the Holy Alliance and quite Absolutists.
We shall soon see its effects at home. After this fine defence
of the Austrian Government, M. Guizot replied to the
second point, that he intended without any reserve to
pursue the policy of non-intervention, and that he con-
sequently wished to remove all illusory hopes from the Poles
by promising them nothing beyond hospitality. A deep and
painful emotion penetrated the Chamber at this pitiless
declaration."

mate, and a carman iti Mr. M*bley's employ moved her goodsj
but she could not identify the prisoner.. When the goods
had been removed she missed half a dozen Spoons, which
were the same produced.
Mary Ann Appleton, living in the same house in Princes-
street that the prosecutrix formerly lived in, identified the
prisoner Trevitt as being the man who removed the goods,
and said that she saw a box with a drawer in it in his
hands. He opened it several times, and she saw that it
contained some silver articles. _

Policeman, F spoke to a conversation between himself
and Trevitt, which took place before the latter was taken in
custody, in which he (Trevitt) asked him whether any thing
had been found on Turner? and said that he had given him
some silver spoons to take care of for him. Witness asked
him why he gave them to Turner? and he said, because he
was in a mess about a box which , had been lost in moving
some goods, and he did not wish the spoons to be found on
him. He added, that he supposed it would be a Bow-street
job, and he would lose his place and his character.
The nrisoner Turner said that he had received the spoons
from Trevitt, who asked him to take care of them for
him. He denied that he attempted to throw the spoons
away.
As the policeman, who arrested Turner, said that other
charges might be brought against Trevitt, if time was given.
the prisoners were remanded to next Thursday.

The Government paper, the Journal des Debats, writes in
a more sober strain :

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
2,000 to 2,500 bales, including 350 American for export, and
700 on speculation. The market was steady. There was
considerable activity in the Share market, and a good busi-
ness was done. The Scrips were advancing.
The letters and papers delivered this morning from the
United States, brought by the Cambria steam vessel, are,
upon the whole, considered satisfactory. Great expectations, the
mercantile writers say, are entertained that war would be
avoided upon the Oregon question, the mere so as the Intel
ligence received oat from England of the propositions of the
Premier to reduce the tariff so materially, especially in favour
of the produce of the republic, continues to be applauded to
the echo. From Canada we learn that much interest was
felt for the opening of the United Legislature. A change in
the Council was fully anticipated. The weather bad again
become very mild. The ice on the St. Lawrence was just off
in the vicinity of Quebec, but the channels opposite were
clear-a most extraordinary circumstance-the season
of the year being considered. In all the principal districts of
Canada, and other British North American Coloaies, the pro-
jection of railways was a topic of most earnest consideration.
In the year 1844 and 1845, it appears from official returns
that the number of vessels built at Quebec was 17, of the
aggregate tonnage of 11,770 tons.
Contrary to the expectation entertained at the commence-
ment of business in the English Stock Market this morning,
Consols have receded in value. The first impression was that
the news from the United States would have lifted up prices.
The opening prices were similar to those which were paid on
Saturday afternoon, but soon afterwards the Bear party coin•
menced operations, and the result was that for the first
transfer to-morrow the quotation of Consols fell to 95%, and
for the Account from 96% to 96%. India Stock is quoted at
260, and Exchequer gills at 375. premium. There have not
been any other prices noted this morning.
In the Foreign Stocks there has not been any feature of
importance this morning, if we except a rise in the value of
Portuguese from 56 to 57. We have not heard of any infor-
mation from Lisbon to account for this change. Spanish
Actives remain at 26 to 261 A, and the Three per Cents. at
36%. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been done at 83;
Mexican at 31%; and Peruvian at 361/2.
The Railway Share Market is rather more firm this morn-
ing. The accurate list of prices are annexed.

" We have just heard the questions addressed to the Go-
vernment by M. de la Rochejacquelin on the subject of the
deplorable events which are taking place in Poland. We
shall not conceal the painful feeling which has been caused
us by this discussion ; the whole Chamber seemed desirous
to bring it to an end. To what have the interpolations of
M. de Larochejacquelin led ? To what could they have led ?
For our own part we did not require to hear the noble lan-
guage of M. Guizot to be assured that the French Govern-
ment would fulfil towards the unfortunate Poles all the
duties imposed on it by humanity and policy. What more
is wished for ? Is it desired that Francs should interfere
in favour of the insurgents of Cracow, and that she should
go, arms in hand, to act the part of the police and of pro-
pagandism in Galicia and in the Duchy of Posen ? No—the
only wise and generous conduct to be adopted is that pointed
out by M. Guizot. You cannot, you will not interfere in
favour of the Poles. Do not, then, hold out vain hopes ;do
not trifle with their heroic rashness. All illusions may be
excused in them. They are proscribed and exiled ; they
have lost their country. Nothing can be more natural than
that at the slightest movement they should consider it ready
to revive. If they deceive themselves, no one has a right
to reproach them with an error for which they pay with
their blood. But you—what do you desire ? To push them
into dangers which you will not share with them ? To en-
courage them in enterprises, the success of which even in
your own eyes is but chimerical? We beg pardon of M.
Odilon Barrot, but that would be barbarous conduct, and as
contrary to the dignity of France as to the law of nations. We
shall not dwell on the details of this discussion, which was,
to say the least, inopportune. We shall not recur to the
frightful massacres of Tarnow. We choose rather to refer
our readers to the speeches of M. Guizot and M. de Castel-
lan. Discussions do not take place when events are scarcely
known—when, perhaps, blood is still flowing. The misfor-
tune of the Poles is too great, and even in their illusions they
deserve too much respect, for their cause to be given over to
party dispute. Let it be sufficient for us to state that not a
voice was raised, even on the Extreme Left, to call for an
armed intervention. The moment will arrive to determine
whether the best means to be adopted to pacify Poland will
not be to restore to her the remnant of national existence
guaranteed by treaties, of which force has deprived her, but
to which she is entitled by right."
The following are the only other extracts from the papers
of interest :

Madrid journals of the 7th and Bth have been received.
We find no facts in them, but as usual plenty of rumours.
Among others, says the Clamor Public°, "A personage be-
longing to the Government has received a letter from M.
GUIZOT, in which that Minister signifies that, in the event
of the Trapani match not being accomplished, Loins PHI-
LIPPE has determined to promote the QUEEN'S marriage with
the Count DE MONTXMOLIN." This royal marriage appears
to have been the cause of the divisions in the Cabinet. It
broke up the last, and will probably have the same effect on
the present. All reports agree that the existing Ministry
cannot hold long together, and that the QUEEN-MOTHER and
NARVAEZ are resolved on another change. It was said that
the QUEEN would, in the course of the summer, visit
Andalusia.

On the 7th the Three per Cents. closed at 29% cash, and
29% at 40 days ; the Five per Cents. at 2134 for the 30th
of April.

An interesting discussion took place in the French Cham-
ber of Deputies, on Friday, on the insurrection of Poland,
but, as might have been expected, led to no result. The
question was brought forward by the Marquis DE LA ROCHX-
JACQUELIN, belonging to a family that had displayed the
utmost bravery, and made the greatest sacrifices in the
cause of legitimacy. Often had the people of the West
of France risen under their guidance against the Govern-
ments that had occupied the place of the Bourbon dynasty,
and in several, if not nearly all instances, when success was as
hopeless as the present unfortunate attempt in Poland. The
Marquis, therefore, probably thought he had a right to
take the lead on the occasion, but his principles amalga-
mated ill with those of MM. MAUGUIN, ODILOX BAR-
ROT, and other Deputies of the Left; from this cause,
as well, perhaps, as the conviction that nothing
could be done by the Government, they made but a faint at-
tempt to force on a discussion. The Marquis DE CAS-
TELLAX, though agreeing in the policy of non-intervention,
and admitting that Prussia sought to benefit the peasants
under her rule, complained of the conduct of Austria, which
was quite the reverse, for that power sought to keep up a
spirit of division between the different classes of the people,
the nobles and the clergy on the one hand, and the peasants
on the other. He said nothing of the conduct of Russia;
the remarks made by M. ODILOX RA/MOT were extremely
mild, and formed a strong contrast to the violent attacks
made on M. Gomm by the Opposition journals.
"He felt convinced beforehand of the answer
that would be given. He would not make any
remarks to the contradictions (alluding to M. GUI-
ZOT'S speech, given below) given to acts which, for the
honour of humanity, he would fain hope might prove un-
true, but he would ask what had been the result of the
wi.311 expressed every session, for the last fifteen years, on
behalf of the Polish nation ? Was not, he would ask, the
conduct of the Government a reproach for that wish, so
solemnly expressed ? It had been said that the spirit
of conquest might lead them too far, but that theory
was not at all applicable in the present case. They had
suffered sufficiently from the consequences of the treaty
of 1815, to be permitted now to claim its execution in
favour of nationality without being taxed with being am-
bitious. It had been said that their protest would be vain,
but it should however be made. Ile had faith in Polish na-
tionality, and he hoped for its ultimate triumph." M. Mau.
Gun.; -was the only other speaker on that side of the Chamber,
a 7,1 said that it was the duty of the Chamber to express its
opinion on the subject, and censured in the strongest terms
the cruel policy adopted towards Poland. M. GUIZOT was
the principal speaker on tht Occasion, and in order to under-
stand his re:narks we give the following brief ques-
tionz put to him by the Marquis DE LA ROCHEJACQUELIN :
" For the last fourteen years," said the Marquis, " the two
Chambers had expressed their wishes, had manifested their
formal intention to maintain Polish nationality. He would
ask whether those wishes were to be mottling more than an
annual epitaph written on the tomb of the Polish nation ?
Had the Government been able to do what had been desired?
He thought not ; and felt convinced that the wishes so often
renewed by the two tribunes had been useless.—(Murmurs.)
lle considerei there was some instruction to be gained from
what was passing in Poland. Could it be believed that in a
monarchical Government orders had been given by which a
price of 25f.had been offered for the head of every noble, priest,
or landowner that might be brought in. He must protest
against such horrors, and would now ask the Government
what it had done towards the accomplishment of the wishes,
fourteen times repeated by the Chambers? What can it do
to fulfil them, now that the remnant of the Polish nation was
suffering under a long and painful agony? What measures
would it adopt? Would it guarantee that the independence
of Cracow shall be respected and maintained? Would it
guarantee that the action of political vengeance shall not be
substituted for that of regular justice? In a word, what
has the Government done, what will it do, and what can it
do?"

" A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the German Journal
of Frankfort, states that the French Ambassador there, the
Count de Flabaut, had used his good offices with the Austrian
Government to induce it to show clemency to the insurgents
of Cracow, and had so far succeeded as to receive an assur-
ance that, if they submitted in proper time, an amnesty
should be granted.
"A Berlin letter of the Bth, in a Frankfort journal, states
that the three protecting Powers will keep up the force which
had been sent into the Polish provinces, until the revolt is
entirely put down. Prussia, Austria, and Russia will, it
adds, act with the greatest leniency towards the individuals
who have been led to take part in the movement, but will
adopt the severest measures against the leaders of the revolt.
"The National says We have received through a channel
on which we can place confidence, news which is very favour-
able to the insurrection. A division that had advanced into
the Carpathian mountains, entered into communication with
Hungary ; and two important Comitats of that country have
risen. The movement continues to penetrate into Lithuania,
and presents to Austria a character so general, that the most
extreme measures are taken to prevent the real state of things
from being known.'
" A letter from Coblentz of the 11th states that the reign-
ing Duke of Saxe Gotha will set out in the course of the
month for Spain and Portugal. The King of Naples, it
adds, has broken off all negotiation relative to the marriage
of the Duke de Trapani with the Queen of Spain, is conse-
quence of the protests on the subject which have taken place
in the Spanish Cortes.
"We learn from Rome, 28th ult., that the Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia visited the Pope on that day. The
interview was exceedingly cordial, and after the usual cere-
monies of reception, the Pope and the Grand Duke were
closeted for nearly half an hour. At the close of this con-
ference, to which only the Count de Boutenieff, the Russian
Ambassador, was admitted, the Grand Duke presented the
gentlemen of his suite to his Holiness."

HOUSE OF LORDS.--(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day in a Committee for Privileges. The
Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, Lord Brougham, Lord Hood, the Earl of Ranfarly, Lord
Byron, the Earl of Redesdale, the Earl of Falmouth, Lord
Colchester, and the Earl of Selkirk.

CRAWFORD AND LINDSAY PEERAGE.
The further examination of witnesses on behalf of the
claimant to this Peerage, took place this morning, and occu-
pied their Lordships the whole day.

VIOE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
DUNCOMBE V. LEVY.

The proceedings in this case, which were appointed to be
proceeded with to7day, were postponed till to-morrow.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. PETERHOUSE.
This ease came before the Court upon the petition of the
Professor of Casuistry in Peterhouse College, Cambridge,
praying that certain scattered pieces of land belonging to
the Professorship might be sold, and their produce converted
into stock for the benefit of the Professor. Part of the laud,
it appeared, had been purchased by the Commercial Railway
Company, at a sum of 6001., and it was considered for the
benefit of the Professorship that the other land should be
sold and converted into stock.

" M. Guizot in reply said, among the questions that had
been put to him by the Honourable Deputy, that on which he
most particularly insisted related to the policy and acts of a
foreign Government, and not to those of the French Govern-
ment. For that reason he should confine himself to the line
of conduct he had always adopted in that tribune—to speak
of what ho knew.—(Hear, hear.) If the acts which had
been reported were true, ha would not hesitate to designate
them as deplorable and guilty. To provoke a social
overthrow as a defence against a political danger would be
a criminal act. Revolutionists were sometimes guilty of
such acts—but regular Governments never.—(Approba-
den from the Centres.) From the information which
had, however, reached him, he had seen nothing to con-
firm the facts of which he spoke, and far from admitting
them to be true on the faith of the journals and the cor-
respondence which had been quoted, lie should be more in-
clined to deny them. In order to explain the part which
the peasants of the Grand Duchy of Posen and of Gallicia
had just been playing, there was no necessity to bring for-
ward guilty suppositions and hypotheses of prizes being
placed on the heads of certain parties which the Hon.
Deputy had alluded to. Since the Grand Duchy of Posen
and Gallicia have been united, the one to Prussia, and
the other to Austria, both those Governments have
used their utmost exertions to ameliorate the con-
dition of the peasants. In the Grand Duchy of Posen,
as in all the provinces of the monarchy, the Prus-
sian Government had constantly endeavoured to improve
the condition of those people, and they had a right to hold
land ; they had obtained special jurisdictions instead of those
under which they had been formerly placed. When, there-
fore, an attempt was made to excite them to join in the
revolt, they had refused, because their situation was nom
better than it had ever hitherto been. The same had taken
place in Gallicia, where, since the laws of Maria Theresa
and Joseph 11., the condition of the peasants had been
much ameliorated. That was the true reason which had
influenced the conduct of the peasants of Gallicia. There
was not the slightest necessity to bring forward these odious
suppositions of the setting a price on the heads of the nobles
and the clergy; they had stronger motives for their con-
duct, in the improved condition in which they had been
placed. At the very moment when these events were threat-
ening, before the results of the insumtion were known, the
Austrian Government foresaw all that happened, and it had
expressed its fears that a revolution among the peasants
would break out simultaneously with another insurrection;
and it feared that fresh difficulties and fresh causes of em-
barrassment might arrive. This is what was foreseen
by
Prince de Metternich, who communicated it to the
french Government. The Chamber might form is opi-
nion on these assertions. He was not charged to defend
from that tribune such or such a foreignGovernmelat ; but
he considered himself called upon to dissipate false ideas
and erroneous opinions. He might refrain - f

THE ATTORNEY-GENERIL V. HODGSON.
This case came before the Court upon a general demurrer
to an information filed by her Majesty's Attorney-General
under the following circumstances. It appeared that as long
ago as the year 1805 a hatter of Little Russell-street, named
Christopher Flattery, by his will, after giving a few legacies,
left the residue of his property to his executors in trust, to
found a charitable receptacle for twenty-seven poor old men
of England and the like number of Ireland, on which they
were to be maintained during the remainder of their lives, the
institution to be under the management of the Roman Ca-
tholic Bishop of Dublin; and the testator further provided
that in case it should not be convenient to
form such a receptacle, then the amount was to
be given away in charitable donations. The
executors, one of whom was the late Mr. Thomas Wright,
the banker, of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, renounced
the will, the consequence of which was that administration
was applied for and granted to Miss Mary Flaherty (the
lady, we believe, who sometime since by her will left to Lord
Brougham about 20,0001.) The information alleged that
this lady had never applied any part of the property she re-
ceived under the administration to the purposes of the
charity, but continued in the enjoyment of it up to her
death, in November, 1841. Upon application to the ex-
ecutors after her death they refused to apply any of the
testator's property to the purposes of the charity, and the
information was then filed to which the present demurrer
was put in.
The arguments were proceeding when our Afternoon
Edition went to press.

Mr. BticmorAlt opposed, first, that there-was an infonnality
in the schedule; next, that he had unfairly parted with his
property ; and thirdly, that he had vexatiously defended an
action at the suit of the opposing creditor.
It appeared that the insolvent had actually parted with
his property within a day or two of the three months lindted
by the Act before the insolvency, and that point was at once
