IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

MOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
ROYAL ASYLUM OF ST. ANN'S.

Mr. BROTHERTON moved the Lords' amendments to this Bill,
which were agreed to.
WARWICKSHIRE AND LONDON RAILWAY—WORCESTER
AND WEEDON LINE.

This Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed, as
was also the Bill for the Hampton and Ashchurch line.

ATTENDANCE OF MEMBERS.

Mr. GISBORNE wished to know whether he was to attend the
Committee of which he was appointed a member, or whether he
was to be present at the important debate which was about to take
place. If he did net attend the Committee of which he was a
member, the effect of his nun-attendance would be to break up the
Committee. He should move that the House adopt measures for
laying down rules for the guidance of Members who were similarly
situated with himself. He was persuaded that until some distinct
rule was laid down, there would be a repetition every Wednesday
while the session lasted of the present difficulties.
Sir GEORGE GREY thought that, looking at the great import-
ance of the question which would shortly be brought before the
llouse, the Hon. Member would be properly exercising his discre-
tion if he remained during the debate, and neglected the duties of
the Committee for to-day. Ile was, however, afraid that the Hon.
Gentleman had placed himself in a position from which the House
could not extricate him.

Mr. BERNAL was of opinion that the responsibility of attendance
on Committees should not rest on individual Members, but on the
House. He hoped the House would take into their consideration to
adopt some rule for the guidance of ➢iembers.

Mexican officers who answered him declined to convey any
propositions to their commander until the American army
should withdraw from its present position. This, of course,
was not done. Meanwhile the greatest activity appeared to
prevail in the Mexican camp: Four redoubts were thrown
up in one day and one night, in expectation, no doubt of a
general engagement." ,

The New Orleans papers mention a rumour that General
Taylor, in an action with the Mexican forces, had sustained
a defeat. The statement was entirely discredited.
The Caldedonia had arrived at Boston on the 20th ult.
The Unicorn had left that port for Halifax on the preceding
day.

Lake Champlain was clear of ice, and navigation will
shortly be resumed.

Our accounts from Canada are of much importance, and
bring reports of a probable resignation of the Ministry,
in consequence of an adverse majority in the House of
Assembly. The House was in Committee on the proposed
repeal of the duty of 3s. per quarter now levied on wheat
from the United States, such repeal having been suggested
in a dispatch from the home Government. The Ministry
advocated the repeal. A postponement of the subject, moved
by Mr. Merritt, was opposed by the Ministry, but carried by
a majority of 7; whereupon Mr. Draper, the Attorney-
General, moved that the House adjourn, in order that he
might have time to consult with his colleagues as to the
course they should pursue. The papers anticipate a resig-
nation, as we have said, but those which support the Ministry
express their belief that it will not be accepted by Lord
Cathcart.

Mr. WEadTE.a. said he was not. But if the promoters went on so

Mr. CooxE then called additional witnesses to prove the traffic.
One of tau witnesses, Secretary to the Yorkshire Agricultural
Society, stated that he and all the people in the neighboarhood in
'Lincolnshire, being farmers and graziers, were always glad to avail
themselves of the railway, especially for the. transport of fat cattle.
In Lincolnshire they would be greatly benefited by railways, and he
thought favourably of the East Coast line.
The witnesses were cress-examined by Mr. SANDERS, on behalf of
Certain petitioners. They wore of opinion that the proposed line
would be very valuable to an extensive grazinz and Importing dis-
trict, and would complete a most important chain of railway com-
munication with the north and west

2fr. TALBOT was proceeding to cross-examine a witness on the
behalf of certain petitioners, when
Mr. COCKBURN, for the promoters, submitted that the real oppo-
nents in this case were the Eastern Counties Railway Company, as
appeared on the face of the petition.
The Unman/Art said that he would allow the question to be put,
Without reference to any other railway, for it was the duty of the

Committee to withhold their sanction from any railway which did
not appear to be the best that could be constructed for the public
accommodation In its district.

Mr. T. Wyng, of Thornley, a magistrate of Cambridge, and agent
to the Duke of Bedford, gave evidence in favour of the line, so far as
the arrangements for mainta'ning the drainage were concerned.
Mr. Fulton, one of the engineers, was examined as to the merits of
the line in his department. There were no engineering difficulties.
The cross-examination did not materially affect his direct evidence.
The Committee then adjourned.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1846.

A leading Paris journal, universally admitted to be under
the influence of M. THIERS, and to represent faithfully his
political opinions, occasionally puts forth leading articles of
such a trifling, contemptible, and juvenile character, that
not one reader in a hundred could believe for a moment
that they were the production of the great statesman and
historian that once presided over the destinies of France, and
is generally regarded as the successor of the present able
Minister, when accident, or royal caprice, or some great
national question may cause his resignation. One of that
description has just appeared in the Constitutionnel, which,
though of the very lowest character, bears all the marks of
the author of the '1 Consulate and the Empire." It
exhibits his petty jealousies, his unconquerable re-
pugnsr;ce to England, aid also a wilful departure
from truth, merely to serve a temporary purpose.
The British Cabinet, the writer ass,erts, beholds with a
jeal•►us ye the protracted stay of IBRAIIDI PACILI in

It is well known that the directors have failed to bring this line
before the House of Commons, and it is currently rumoured that
there has been a mismangement of the affairs, at.d a misappropria-
tion of the funds of this Company. Under these circumstances a
number of Shareholders have held two Meetings in the Leeds Court
House, and formed themselves into an association to obtain back the
whole of their deposits. IA delegate has also been appointed to watch
over and represent our interest at the Meeting to be held in London,
on the 19th instant. All parties interested are respectfully requested
