BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL felt compelled to com
plain of a breach of privilege committed by the
proprietor of the Northern Star newspaper, in that
paper of Saturday last, against the Secretary at War
and himself, and accusing him of being the deadly
enemy of the Hon. Member for Nottingham.
On the motion of the HoN. MEMBER the article
containing the breach of privilege, which consisted of
an attack upon the Secretary at War, Mr. M. J.
O'Connell, and the other Members of the Notting-
ham Election Committee, was read, and
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, after expressing a hope
that the mere mentio❑ of the subject would be suai•
cient, moved pro
,forma that the printer and publisher
of the Northern Star should be called to the bar.
Mr. HASTIE seconded the motion.

Mr. P. O'CONNOR said that if he had made use
of any expressions which were offensive to the lion.
Member, he would at once withdraw them, and
begged him to accept his most humble apology for
such expressions.
After a few words from Mr. O'CONNELL, the
motion was withdrawn.

The Norms LORD also presented a petition from

RESIGNATION OF MR. BIRCH, THE CHIEF

CLERK OF TIIE HOUSE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR read a letter from
Mr. Birch, the Chid' Clerk of the House, requesting
to be allowed to resign his post. lie said he had
been in the service of their Lordships upwards of
forty years, and expressed his deep sense of
the kindness he had at all times received at the hands
of their Lordships.

The communication was ordered to be entered on
the journals of the House.

IRELAND.
On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
a return of the sums of money advanced by this
country to Ireland, in the years 1846 and 1847, and
the amount of repayments, was ordered.
DIPLO.MTIC RELATIONS WITH ROME.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third
reading of this Bill, and stated, as on the introduction
of the Bill and on the second reading, he had entered
fully into its merits, he should simply confine himself
on the present occasion to his motion.
The Earl of ABERDEEN considered that little
good would arise from the measure Inconvenience,
he thought, would be its result. He saw no reason
why the Pope should be called in the Bill " the So-
vereign Pontiff of the Roman States." The " Pope"
had been the designation used from time imme-
morial : it was used in the treaty of Vienna, which
was signed by George 111., and that appellation ought
to be retained in the measure before the House. He
objected to this country interfering in the affairs of
Italy through the instrumentality of this Bill, for he
considered that one of its objects. He should not,
however, vote against the third reading. The term
" the Pope " might be used in the first part of the
Bill, and " the Sovereign Pontiff of the Roman
States" in the latter. He distrusted the intentions
of the Pope.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had not
penetrated into the councils of the Roman States like
the Noble Earl ; but he did not consider that
they had any reason to look upon Rome
with distrust. The terms of which he
complained were inserted at the instance of a
Noble Duke, not now in his place, and it was thought
that they would be acceptable to Rome. The terms
were recognised in the Catholic countries of Europe.

The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
Lord STANLEY then presented a petition against
the Bill amidst much laughter.
Their Lordships then adjourned at Six o'clock.

he could assure them that he woull take the sense
of the House upon his motion as soon as the Irish
Members had recorded their votes upon the question
of imposing an income-tax upon the people of this
country.—(Cheers.)

LONDON, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 29, 1848.

The overwhelming interest excited amongst all
classes by the extraordinary events which have
occurred during the past week, and are now occur-
ring in the French metropolis, the brilliant spectacle
of a nation emancipating itself from the fetters by
which its liberties have hitherto been restrained, and
casting off the shackles which an unwise policy had
attempted to render too galling, have partly diverted
the public attention from those domestic topics which
would otherwise have awakened all our energies, and
aroused the British people to the utmost activity and
exertion. The general feeling with respect to the Mi-
nisterial proposition for the increase and permanency of
the odious income-tax has, however, been too plainly
testified, too clearly expressed, to permit the slightest
doubt to remain that the measure would receive
every constitutional opposition, not only from the
Members of the Legislature, but from all classes of
the community. Meetings were held in every dis-
' trict, and resolutions adopted expressing the firm
determination of the people to resist the impost to
the very utmost. It was not the burden of the tax
alone that excited the public indignation—the inqui-
sitorial and vexatious character of the machinery,
prying into the most private affairs of every person,
engaged in any trade or profession, by which profits
amounting, or even approaching to, 150/. per
annum might be realised, were apparently for-
gotten. The gross injustice of placing on the
same footing, and subjecting to an equal charge
incomes derived from precarious and fluctuat-
ing sources, and liable to constant alterations, with
those of a fixed and ascertained character, such as
dividends from funded property and the rents of real
estates, outraged every principle of equity, and in-
duced the most determined resistance of the people.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer last night admitted
" that from all quarters of the House, and from all
parts of the country they (the Ministers) had received
the most unequivocal demonstrations of the disap-
proval of the increase of two per cent.;" and again,
that " there was an unanimous concurrence in object-
ing to the additional two per cent. on the income-
tax."

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Ultimately the scrutiny case was abandoned, and the
Committee ordered the room to be cleared, to enable
thorn to discuss the resolution they should come to.

after which strangers were admitted, when

The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had
come to the resolution that the election of Mr. Guinness

to poll for him; but that there was no evidence to con-
nect these acts of bribery with Mr. Guinness.
This closed the labours of the Committee.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2,184 i.

The University of Cambridge has ma de a rapid
stride in advance. The proceedings of the Senate
on
Tuesday, the graces adopted in both houses by large
and and decisive majorities, the particulars whereof were
contained in our impression of yesterday, will be re-
ceived with approbation throughout the entire
country. Henceforward every person aspiring to the
honour of a degree from the University must devote
some portion of Lis time to the acquisition of really
useful knowledge, and opportunities of distinction are
opened to those who, although they might not
be qualified to take high honours in mathematics, or
who could not aspire to ascend the Classical Tripos,
would yet gladly devote the hours that, under the
late system, were wasted in idleness, or, still worse,
consumed in dissipation, to a pursuit better suited to
their tastes and habits, and which may prove really
valuable in th:., course of their future career. It is
in youth only that the rudiments of many sciences
can be attained. In more advanced years, when met,
are emancipated from any control or discipline, and
when a considerable portion of their time is required
for the discharge of indispensable duties and
daiiy avocations, few will submit! to the drudgery
that must b 3 encountered before the first difficulties
C3ll overcome. With the great majority a certain
degree of coercion jos necessary to induce them to
sftbmit to the toil and labour that is essential in the
first instance. The approaches to any branch of
learning are rugged and wearisome. When a little
progress is made the path becomes smoother, diffi-
culties that at first appeared insurmountable are easily
passed, an interest is speedily awakened, and the
ascent is voluntarily
.continued, until perhaps
the very summit is attained, which would
never have been commenced unless some power-
ful stimulus had been applied in the earlier stages
of the journey.
We are by no means disposed to slight or despise

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
The Palace of Buen Retiro is preparing for the
reception of the Duke and Duchess of .MONTPENSIER,
who are coming to Madrid at the pressing instance of
CIII2ISTJNA, and much against the wishes of the Duke
,f MONTPENSIER, whose health suffers considerably
from the sudden alterations of temperature which are
of such frequent occurrence in the Spanish capital.
MUNOZ Duke of Rianzeres, who was never in
action in his life, has, thanks to Queen CHRISTINA,
been made a Generald
The Prince and Princess of CAPUL are still at
Madrid.

The Spanish political exiles, who on their way
out to Cuba rose upon the captain and crew of the
,hip, and carried her into Bourdeaux, and who were
given up, contrary to the law of nations, to Spain,
have arrived at Santander. NARVAEZ has, it is said,
Tdend the ringleaders to be shot on the deck of the
ship.

The news of tIA: risintr in Arragon
Ana we insurrection is becoming every day more
general. The Carlists, after an action of some dura-
tion, entered the important town of Falcet, in the
province of Tarragona, and compelled the garrison
to take refuge in the church. Notwithstanding the
defection of CALETRUS, the army Of CABRERA is
daily increasing, and he will soon be in a condition
to undertake otTersive operations on a large scale.

Tns HAGUE, OCT. 30.—The first Chamber of the
States General in their sitting of this day passed the
three following projects of law :

1. The regulations of the funds of the consignments
of 1841 to 1847.

2. The provision for the deficit of 1843.
3. The transfer of the funds recovered from the
Netherlands Mint for the estimates of 1845 to 1849.

After passing these three projects of law, this

that unless special circumstances should arise the
operations of the present Chamber of the States

PERSI A.

Intelligence from Teheran was brought to Con-
stantinople on the 16th ult. by a Tatter, who left
Tahrez on the 19th of September.
On the 13th of September the new Sn ir, who at
the time of his father's death resided resided at
Tabres, was proclaimed as successor to his father's
throne, under the title of NsasEs-un•Dssx-SuAu.

The youthful Monarch took his departure for
Tehran, on the morning of the 18th, accompanied by
Mr. ABBOTT, the British Consul at Tehran, and
M. Gouszrr, attached to the Russian mission
thereat, under an armed escort of no less than 10,000,
cavalry, 7,000 infantry, and 24 pieces of artillery,
whose services were secured by a loan of 10,000/.
raised chiefly through the influence of Mr. STEVZNS,
her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Tabriz, in the
brief space of forty-eight hours, among the Greek
and Armenian merchants, the people of which latter
sect, by special firman of the new Sovereign,
have been placed under Mr. &ray/iris' immediate
Consular protection, a compliment of no small im-
portance, when it is considered that they number
nearly eighty thousand souls.
Accounts have been received of his MAJESTY'S
timely arrival at Teheran, at a moment when lisnii
Mus. m AGISSI, the late KING'S Prime Minister, was
busily engaged in forming a party to place a junior
brother upon the throne, to the detriment of the heir
apparent, who on his accession very prudently ap-
pointed to the premiership MIRZA. TAXI, late Persian
Commissioner at the conferences of Erzeroom re-
garding the frontier question between Persia and
Turkey.
It is hoped that the influence of Miazt Tssu will
prevent any further continuance of the treasonable
attempts of the late Prime Minister to ferment dis-
cord, which could only serve the ambitious purposes
of Russia, who desires nothing more eagerly than to
see civil war raging in Persia, in which case her
alliance would be sought by the one side or the other,
and paid for by a further cession of rich provinces.
On the part of the SULTAN, measures have very
laudably been taken by the Sublime Porte to prevent
any hostile movement, with a view of disputing the
succession by ALT SHAH, who is living at Kerbela
as the guest and pensioner of the SULTAN. The
latest accounts from Tabriz confidently anticipate
that for the present, at least, public tranquillity will
be preaerred.

In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of
the Irish Society of London would call the attention of the
public to the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that
country, and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to
carry out the objects which it has in view ; and while they by
tio means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether.
lby legislation er by private enterprise, to improve the temporal
Condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex-
Verience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, un-
less, at the same time, measures are taken to elevate the moral
character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instruction.
The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of
2,000,000 of the populalinn speak the Irish language.
There are now NO teachers connected with it, who instract the
•ative Trish in reading the-Word of God. Since the commencement
400,000 individuaLs, Chiefly adultsehitive ttniwtometinthrtskzead tyke -
Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith.
Ono hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read
the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work
in their fields, or by the roa I side.
Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in connexion with the Society
who read the. Liturgy, and preach the Gospel in the'native language.
Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now
'Ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of
these are in the county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and
Clx in Kerry. •
Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega-
tions, have been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God
neon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are
now incorporated with old Protestant congregations.
Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society
are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them.
In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant
churches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has
been announced to preach. One clergyman states :

REVIEW OF TITS WORK,

La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Couselence ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into whisk such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mied not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
pkilosopky and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
tpon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By nn
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended witk the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

FRAUDULENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Alderman COPELAND said, he regretted to be obliged
to complain of the want of uniformity in the decisions of
the City magistrates as to the inflictions of penalties
upon parties found guilty of using fraudulent weights and
measures. It was a subj Let on wh:ch, if it were found
necessary to go to Parliana( nt for a remedy, ho would
not hesitate to adopt that ExpAient, and to juin in a
prompt application for that puri.use ; fur the frauds,
which weEe in constant practice, fell upon the poor to an
almost immeasurable extent.

The matter was referred to the General Purposes
Committee.

THE CITY PRISONS.

' Alderman SIDNEY rose to submit a motion upon the
subject of the prisons of the city of London, in which, it
was so desirable to effvet an improvement, and which
however adapted to ancient times, were at present wl.olly
uirfit for the us•s intended, according to the Utley°lcnc
spirit with which the penalties of the le.vv were inflicted.
He described the prisons over which the Alderman had
authority as lamentably deficient in point of room. He
objected to the great consumption of time in bad, and to
the extraordinary laxity of system which prevailed. He
found, he said, that in Coldbath-fields Prison there were
two female wardens for every eleven female prisoners,
while in the Borough Compter there was only one for
every twenty. As to discipline, he despaired of any im-
provemcnt, of consequence within the preSent contracted
dimensions of our places of confinement. His attention
had been drawn to the state of Whitecross-street
Prison, which he found to be infinitely more like a
tea-garden or an extensive tavern, than a gaol. It
appeared that visitors innumerably are admitted, and
there they sit, men and women, smoking and drink-
ing and carousing with the prisoners, upon the pro-
perty of unfortunate creditors during the whole of the
day. Now, certainly, in justice to the suffering creditors,
the regulations of the prison ought to be more stringent,
and the prisoners would derive morel benefit from the
change.—(ilear, hear.) Alderman Sidney concluded by
moving that the subject be referred to a committee.
Alderman CHALLIS seconded the motion.

The subject gas then referred to the committee.

Upon tile motion of Alderman SIDNEY a petition
against Robert Tuke, a sworn broker of the city of
London, was read.

The parties appeared at the bar.
The petitioners stated that they were ready with the
witnesses to prove all the allegations.
Alderman COPELAND was surprised to find that such
a case should be brought before the Court of Aldermen.
It was only fit for the Central Criminal Court.
Other members of the Court expressed themselves to
the same effect, and

The Court then came to the unanimous determination
to erase the name of the accused from the list of brokers,
and postponed the consideration of the question as to
further proceedings to the next Court.
The question excited great interest.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 2. 184$.

The University of Cambridge has made a rapid
stride in advance. The proceedings of the Senate on
Tuesday, the graces adopted in both houses by large
and decisive majorities, the particulars whereof were
contained in our impression of yesterday, will be re-
ceived with approbation throughout the entire
country. Ilenceforward every person aspiring to the
honour of a degree from the University must devote
some portion of his time to the acquisition of really
useful knowledge, and opportunities of distinction are
opened to those who, although they might not
be qualified to take high honours in mathematics, or
who could not aspire to ascend the Classical Tripos,
would yet gladly devote the hours that, under the
late system, were wasted in idleness, or, still worse,
consumed in dissipation, to a pursuit better suited to
their tastes and habits, and which may prove really
valuable in the course of their future career. It is
in youth only that the rudiments of many sciences
can be attained. In more advanced years, when men
are emancipated from any control or discipline, and
when a considerable portion of their time is required
for the discharge of indispensable duties and
d avocations, few will submits to the drudgery
that must be encountered before the first difficulties
can be overcome. With the great majority a certain
d-gree of coercion is necessary to induce them to
submit to the toil and labour that is essential in the
first instance. The approaches to any branch of
learning are rugged and wearisome. When a little
progress is made the path becomes smoother, ditfi-
'
, "l eitliislidiat at first appeared insurmountable are easily
7-'l passed, an interest is speedily awakened, and the
- ascent ise voluntarily continued, until perhaps
- - the very ' summit is attained, which would
never have been commenced unless some power-
ful stimulus had been applied in the earlier stages
of the journey.
N. We are by no means disposed to slight or despise
