EASTER RECESS.

Lord STANLEY wished to know from her Majesty's
Government at what period they intended to propose the
adjournment of the House for the Easter recess, and for
what duration; he also wishsd to know whether, sup-
posing the Jewish Disabilities Bill came up from the
(louse of Commons before Easter, it was their intention
to proceed with that measure before the Easter recess?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not see any
reason, at present, why the usual coarse should not be
adopted, of moving the adjournment of the House on
Tuesday in Passion Week, till the Tuesday week
following, nor did he see any reason why the measures
alluded to by the Noble Lord should interfere with the
adoption of the usual course.
PROPERTY TAX BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to move the
second reading of the Property-tax Bill. The Noble
Marquis wont at some length into the provisions of the
Bul and the exigencies of the State that required the
re-enactment of the property•tax for three years,

AUSTRIA.

The accounts of the outbreak of an insurrection
against Austria in the Tyrol are confirmed. The
letters from Trent of the 15th speak of large bodies
of rioters who have destroyed the Custom-house of
that town and thrown the furniture into the Adige
(Edsch). The fiscal officers were obliged to seek
their safety in flight. A mob assembled next in front
of the Town-hall, and forced the magistrates to draw
up a petition to the EMPEROR praying for an annexa-
tion of the Tyrol with Lombardy. The magistrates
did as they were bid. They were next induced to
adopt the Italian colours, and illuminate the town.
Other places, Ala for instance, were equally riotous,
and great outrages were committed by the infuriated
population, especially the peasants.
The Allgemeine Zeitung reports the liberation of
150 State prisoners, partly Poles, partly Italians, who
on the 513 d ult. were dismissed from the fortress of
Spielberg, famous in the annals of Austrian despotism.
The Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Count STA•
DION, Governor of Bohemia, has tendered his resig-
nation, but it remains undecided whether the EM-
PEROR will dispense with his services.

A private letter from Prague states that great ex•
citement prevailed in that city, and that a revolution
was apprehended in consequence of all the fourteen
points insisted on by the deputation not having been
granted by the EMPEROR. At Trieste all is quiet.
Orders have been sent to the Austrian fleet, which
is at Pole, to blockade Venice, and Count NUGENT is
to commence operations by land. He is to command
a third corps erarmee, which is to be formed on the
Isonzo, and in a few days he will have there between
six and seven thousand men.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.
The Revenue returns for the financial
dust
teia)re ending
the sth April instant, which have
pub-
fished, are perhaps on the whole more fay" rable
than might have been expected, when the sevelii.
pressing difficulties to which all classes haveeband
exposed within that period are taken into account. The nation has passed through an arduous ordeal, and it affords matter for congratulation that so much has
been done under all the circumstances. It could
scarcely be supposed that when trade and commerce
were paralyzed, when there was a complete cessation
of credit, and a general failure of every kind of
employment, that so large an amount could be ex-
pended on articles of luxury, or even comfort, as in
seasons of greater prosperity. 'We, therefore,
find a decrease in the revenue for the year
of no less than 2,208;511/. The last quarter,
however, exhibits some symptoms of im-
provement, there being an increase of 402,575/.
This, however, is chiefly to be accounted for by an
item which, it was supposed, would not again have
made its appearance in the national balance-sheet, and
vhioll appears there for the last time—viz., China

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. DIV:LTT moved for account of all fees and
emoluments received by each of the messengers of the
Court of Bankrui,tcy in London and in the country;
showing the date of the fiat, with the name and descrip-
tion of the bankrupt, and the number of days allowed
for possession in ouch case, on taxation of the messen-
ger's bill, for the last five years, ending the 25th day of
March 1848.—Agreed to.
Mr. COWAN presented a petition complaing of the
treatment the Rev. Mr. Shore had received at the hands
of the Bishop of Exeter.
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL then replied to
several questions that had been asked of him in
connexion with this matter. lie could not say whether
the question would be reported by the Bishops to the
Court of Queen's Bench ; and it was not Ms intention to
introduce any measure on the subject, as the whole
question of ecclesiastical procedure was under the consi-
deration of the Government.
JOINT-STOCK BILL.

In reply to Mr. HUMS,
Mr. M. GIBSON stated that this Bill would be pro-
ceedcd with as soon as the public business would allow.

unmsti GUINEA.

Lord G. BENTINCK wished to know from the Hon.
Gentleman:the Under Secretary for the Colonies if the
statement in the lieyal Gazette of the 7th of March,
which arrived yesterday by the steamer from the West
Indies, to the tfrect that the Court Policy had come to
a resolution to postpone voting the supplies until
the 15th of May, in consequence of the dis-
tress that prevailed in the colony was true ? Also
whether the free labourers who had left their employ-
ment at Christmas had yet returned to it, and whether
the tillage of the sugar crop, and in fact the tillage of
the entire land, had not been in a great measure re-
tarded in consequence? Also, whether he would have
any objection to lay a balance sheet of the revenue and
expenditure of Ceylon for 1847 upon the table of the
House?

Mr. HAWES replied, that it appeared by the Royal
Gazette that the suspension of payments until the 17th
of May had been agreed to. The suggestion was made
by the Council to the Governor, and he assented to it.
From the last dispatch received from the Governor it
seemed that the labourers who had left their work
had not then returned to it ; but there was a confident
belief that everything would be arranged to their satis-
faction, and that the tillage of the land would shortly be
resumed. He should have no objection to lay a balance
sheet before them with respect to the financial condition
of Ceylon up to June, 1847.

POLAND.

The Prussian Government, yielding to the demands
of the Polish deputies, has appointed a Royal Com-
missioner for the duchy of Posen, in the person of
General WILLESEEti, who enjoys a great degree of
popularity among the Poles. Count MATIIEW
MIELZYNSKI is to be the first President of the pro-
vince of Posen. General CnEzANowsiii, the most
eminent of the Generals of the old Polish army, and
M. MiEnosrawsxt, who was the leader of the insur-
rection of 1842, are to be admitted into the army of
Posen.

Our ancient warcry,' For our faith, our Sovereign, and
our country,' will once again lead us on the path of
victory, and then with sentiments of humble gratitude, as
now with feelings of holy hope, we will all cry with one
voice,' God is on our side, understand this ye peoples
and submit, for God is on our side.'
" Given at St. Petersburgh the 14th (26th) of March,
in the year of Grace 1848, and the 23d of our reign."
It is said that the EMPEROR has ordered that every
man in Russian-Poland, between the ages of eighteen
and thirty-five, shall be removed into the interior of
Russia.
The German papers continue to report the concen-
tration of a large Russian army in the Russian part
of Poland. 6,000 Circassians and Bashkirs arrived,
according to the Schlesische Zeitung, in Creustochan
on the 25th of March. The troops at Warsaw are
consigned to the barracks, and ready to march at a
minute's notice.

FRANKFORT.

Letters from Frankfort of the Ist inst. state that
the Congress have fixed the Ist of May as the day
for the meeting of the Constitutional Assembly.
Some discussion arose as to whether the whole
Congress should declare itself en permanence until
the meeting of the Constitutional Assembly should
take place, or whether a Committee of fifty members
should be appointed to remain en permanence until
that period. The following propositions were at
length agreed to :
" 1. To choose a Committee consisting of fifty mem-
bers.

"2, To empower that Committee to put itself in com-
munication with the German Diet, in or,:er to provide
for the immediate interests of the German nation, in
giving its advice in all matters of policy, until the
period at which the AsAssembleConstituante shall be called
together.
" 3. To invite the Diet to put itself in communica-
tion with the Committee, as including men in whom the
people placed reliance.
" 4. To empower the Committee, in case of urgent
danger, to call together the present deliberative Con-
gress."

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the 'leads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in famili( s, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :

" To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, Londen.
"No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.
"Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of variou. Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a nest
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am,
Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression
after meals, t;iddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Less of 4 ppetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

The Courrier de Berlin, of the Ist inst. says—

" The grave events which have changed the political
system of Prussia have at the same time caused great
perturbation in all commercial affairs, and produced a
vast depreciation in the public funds. Already some of
the first banking•houses in the capital and in other towns
of the kingdom have announced their intention of imme
diately winding up their affairs, and it is feared that
with the beginning of the month will come many
failures. The shares in the German railroads have fallen
down to 50, and sonic as low as 47 thalers. Merchants
who have payments to make cannot obtain money from
their bankers, even upon the best securities. The shares
i❑ the Royal Bank have undergone an enormous reduc-
tion in price."

MANIFESTO OF TIIE EMPEROR.

The following manifesto of the Emperor NicuoLAs
has been published at St. Petersburgh and received
with the greatest enthusiasm :
" Atter the benefits of a long peace the West of Eu-
rope finds itself at this moment suddenly given over to
perturbations which threaten with ruin and overthrow
all legal powers and the whole social system.
" Insurrection and Anarchy, the off,pring of France,
soon crossed the German frontier, and have spread
themselves in every direction with an audacity which
has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of
the Governments. The devastating plague has at last
attacked cur allies the Empire of Austria and the
Kingdom of Prussia, and to day in its blind fury me-
❑aces Even our Russia, that Russia which God has
confided to our care.

" But Heaven forbid that this should be! Faithful to
the example handed down from our ancestors, having
first invoked the aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready to
encounter our enemies from whatever side they may
present themselves, and without sparing our own person
we well know how, indissolubly united to our holy
;.:, ra tiiC to noun' vi the E.urAiau Hume, and

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL apprehended that the
petition could not be received, inasmuch as it stated that
it came from the '° National Conventii,n."
Mr. F. O'CONNOR reminded the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman that similar petitions were allowed to be
received under Sir Robert Peel's Government, and as a
convention of 49 delegates was recognised by the law,
he could not see what objection there could be to the re-
ception of the:petition.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was decidedly of
opinion that the petition was not legally worded, but
he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not press its recep-
tion till he had had time to look into the authorities upon
the subject.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said the request of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, coming as it did from the first law
officer of the Crown sounded very much like a command
but Its a matter of courtesy to the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman, he would not press it.
The petition was accordingly withdrawn.

Mr. HUME gave notice that immediately after the
Easter recess he would move a resolution to the follow-
ing effect—That the time had arrived when all just
complaints on the part of the people of Ireland ought
to be remedied, and when the promises made by both
Houses of Parliament in the year 1833, ought t.
be tulfilled ; namely, that the burdens of the
Church Esiabli,,hrnent revpecting all vested rights should
be mitigated; that the Parliamentary suffrages of the
people should be placed on the same footing as England
and Scotland; and that a sathfactory Registration Bill
should be brought in, and that the same franchises
should be given to the municipal corporations of all
towns, boroughs, and cities in Ireland that was enjoyed
by the municipal corporations of the boroughs, towns,
and cities of England and Scotland; that, lastly,
that the grand jury laws should be amended, so. as to
lead to a general equalisation of the rates now imposed
upon the people.

turing of pikes was traced to a subordinate of the police.

RESTORATION OF THE HAIR
" To Messrs. A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London
"Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas-
sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice.
The person alluded to Is a young man named Haylock. of Ashdon,
near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect-
ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle
of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me
the pleasing inteaigence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair.
You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,
" Yours respectfully,

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.

The New York packet-ship, Fidelia, Capt. Yeat4
has arrived. She sailed on the 16th ultimo, one d ay
-.later than the John R. Skiddy, which reached t his
port on Monday afternoon. Although the news frc.x.a
the United States is meagre and unimportant, ' the
intelligence from Mexico will be perused with it z*e-
rest and attention.

The steam-ship Cambria had not arrived out at
New York when the Fidelia sailed. The Fid€ tilia
does not bring any specie.

MEXICO.

An arrival from Vera Cruz, at New Orleans, brin g
intelligence that the attack made by the guerillas o n
Colonel Briscoe, of the United States army, and a
small party under his command, had been successf
to a certain extent, inasmuch as the former captur I
the mules belonging to the Americans, and burn e d
most of the waggons. Colonel Briscoe was compel! f-4:1
to leave his killed and wounded behind him, and int ,Le
Ids way to Cordova.

The latest advices from the city of Queretaro st ate
that all was quite there, and that the idea of epe( dy
peace was the all-engrossing topic with the people of
all classes.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

There is not any striking news under this hero 1.
The New York Express of the 16th contains the f
lowing :
Freights are very dull. Cotton is taken to Liverpo
st 5-32 d, Grain sd. Exchange on England is dull t.t
1091 to 1094.
The money market is tight. Stocks have fallen c
and there is less disposition to purchase.
By the last official return of the Secretary of t
Treasury, viz., 21st February, the amount then • an
hand subject to draft, in all the Sub-Treasuri
vitas only 2,097,188 dolls.; the amount in ti its
city was 188,499 dolls. This is running the balant 'es
down very c:ose. It shows one thing pretty deal
that, although the Government may receive a lark ; e
amount of specie, it cannot keep it long. In this city t! i a
balance has at certain periods run up to two millior a;,
but its vaults have reta!ned it but a short period. T a-e
Government can now afford to run its balances clot er
tan usual, as they can turn their stocks into morn
instantly.
A large amount of money has been lying idle to
.1 al,
investedin the loan of the Government, and the putt.. 7..
not being successful, are now directing the amount
other objects. A large batch of merchants' paper w.
taken to-day at nine per cent. per annum.

all legal powers and the whole social system.
" Insurrection and Anarchy, the off,pring of France,
soon crossed the German frontier, and have spread
themselves in every direction with an audacity which
has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of
the Governments. The devastating plague has at last
attacked our allies the Empire of Austria and the
Kingdom of Prussia, and to day in its blind fury me-
❑eces even our Russia, that Russia which God has
confided.to our care.

" But Heaven forbid that this should be! Faithful to
the example handed down from our ancestors, having
first invoked the aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready to
encounter our enemies from whatever side they may
present themselves, and without sparing our own person
we well know how, indissolubly united to our holy
country, to defend the honour of the Russian name, and
the inviolability of our territory. We are convinced
that every Russian, that every one of our kithful sub-
jects will respond with joy to the call of big 60yoreign.

Our ancient warcry, • For our faith, our Sovereign, and
our country,' will one., ag•ain leid us on the path of
victory, and then with sentiments of humble gr,ittitude, u
now with :eelings of holy hope, we will all cry with one
voice, • God is on our side, undvrstaud this ye peoples
and submit, for God is on our side.'
" Given at St. Petershurgh the 14th (26th) of March,
in the year of Grace 1848, and the 23d of our reign."

It is said that the EMPEROR has ordered that every
man in Russian-Poland, between the ages of eighteen
and thirty-five, shall be removed into the interior •f
Russia.

The German papers continue to report the concen-
tration of a large Russian army in the Russian part
of Poland. 6,000 Circassians and Bashkirs arrived,
according to the Schlesische Zeitunv, in Creustochan
on the 25th of March. The troops at Warsaw are
consigned to the barracks, and ready to march at a
minute's notice.

"No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.
" Sir,—l have much satisfaction In communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, lam the means of making
Frampton's rills more
Sir, respectfully yours, generally known and appreciated.—l am,
" WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression
atter meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. 114 d. and 2s. 9d.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL apprehended that the
petition could not be received, inasmuch as it stated that
it came from the " National Conventi,,n."
Mr. F. O'CONNOR reminded the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman that similar petitions were allowed to be
received under Sir Robert Peel's Government, and as a
convention of 49 delegates was recognised by the law,
he could not see what objection there could be to the re-
ception of thelpetition.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was decidedly of
opinion that the petition was not legally worded, but
he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not press its recep-
tion till he had had time to look into the authorities upon
the subject.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said the request of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, coming as it did from the firbt law
officer of the Crown sounded very much like a command
but as a matter of courtesy to the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman, he would not press it.
The petition was accordingly withdrawn.

IRELAND.

Mr. FIUME gave- notice that immediately after the
Easter recess he would move a resolution to the follow-
ing effect—That the time had arrived when all just
complaints on the part of the people of Ireland ought
to be remedied, and when the promises made by both
Houses of Parliament in the year 1833, ought to
be tulfilled ; namely, that the burdens of the
Church Establishment respecting all vested rights should
be mitigated; that the Parliamentary suffrages of the
people should be placed on the same footing as England
and Scotland; and that a satisfactory Registration Bill
should be brought in, and that the same franchises
should be. given to the municipal corporations of all
towns, boroughs, and cities in Ireland that was enjoyed
by the municipal corporations of the boroughs, towns,
and cities of England and Scotland; that, lastly,
that the grand jury laws should be aininded,' so as to
lead to a general equalisation of the rates now imposed
upon the people.

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS.
Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's

Office, on Thursday, March 4d, 1848.
Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the
Proprietors and Assured a very full account of the Society's affairs,
your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc-
casion.

It may, however, be satisfactory te those now assembled to learn
that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising
from the yearly establishment •f many new Life Assurance 0121ces,
the business of this Society still continues to advance.
In proof of this, It will be sufficient to state the following facts :
I. The number of Policies granted en the lives of Clergymen, a
class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been
greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre-
hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence-
ment of the society.
11. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. in the year ending
June 30th, 1846, amounted to 122,9061. in the year ending June
30th, 1847.
111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has
been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,0791. Being an
increase, both in the number of polici(s and in the sum assured, over
these of any preceding year.
In conclusion, the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors
that the Society has net in any degree suffered from the great mor-
talitY which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the
'claims, both in the course of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also
within the six months ending with December last, not having
equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years.
Tablei of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of
the Society's Agents, or by addressing a letter to
GEO. H. PINCKARD, Resident Secretary.
