cution of the malefactor shculd take place on the spot where
1:08 crime was committed.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Bill.
The Bill was passed through Committee, and the various
amendments were made in it.
Earl GREY'S amendment, to do away with the punishment
of transportation in cases where persons in proclaimed coun-
ties were found out of their houses after nightfall,was rejected
by a majority of 31.
The numbers being for the amendment 7, against it 38.
One of the amendments agreed to was for limit►ng the Bill
to three years.
The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and
their Lordships adjourned.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Several railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered
to be committed.
Colonel THOMAS WOOD presenter? a petition from Chelsea,
for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws..
Several petitions of a similar nature were also presented,
as were petitions against the embodiment of the militia.
A new writ was ordered for Stafford, in the room of the
Hon. SWYNFEN TnoarAs CARNEGIE, who, since his election,
had accepted the office of oue of the Lords of the Treasury.
In answer to a question from Mr. Wur.soN PArrEs, rela-
tive to the amalgamation of railways,
Sir G. CLERK said it was considered expedient by the
Government, that all propositions for amalgamation should
be referred to the same Committee.
The Right Hon. Baronet, in answer to a question from
Sir G. GREY, said the evidence taken before the Gauge Com-
mission would be laid on the table during the course of next
week.

The, Railway Deposit R:11 was brought in, read a first, and
ordered to be read a second time.

The second reading of the Turnpike Roads (Scotland)
Bill was adjourned for a fortnight, in consequence of the
absence of the Lord Advocate.

On motion made for that purpose, It was agreed that the
House at its rising should adjourn to Monday.
In answer to a question from Lord INGESTRE,
Sir H. PEEL stated that at the conclusion of the discussion
this evening, he would state when itwas his intention to pro-
ceed with the Committee of Supply.
The House then resolved itself into aCommittee of Supply
on the Corn and Customs Importation measures, and
Mr. W. O. STANLEY, pursuant to notice moved as an
amendment to Sir R. PEEL'S plan, that in lieu of the duty
now payable on the importation of corn, grain, meal, or
flour, the prodact of foreign countries, there shall be paid a
fixed duty of ss. per quarter upon wheat, 2s. 6d. on barley,
2s. on oats, and meal and flour in proportion.
Cap'ain Wool) deprecated the delay which had taken
place with respect to this subject, believing it to be in-
jurious to the tenant-farmer, and also to the poor, as
it prevented some decision being come to with respect to
the law of settlement. He would vote against the amend-
ment, and against any proposition that was calculated to
protract the carrying of the measures proposed by the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN would not vote upon the propo-
sition of the Hon. Member for Anglesea.
After some observations from Lord George Bentinck, Lord
John Russell, Mr. Collett, Sir John Tyrrell, Lord Woreley,
Mr. Curteis, and Mr. Hudson, the amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. M. MILNES then rose to move the omission of all
words in the resolution respecting the importation of corn,
referring to the cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in
the year 1849. he believed it was an idle thing to throw
away altogether the idea of raising a fiscal revenue from corn.
He considered that if the adoption of a low fixed duty was
determined upon, all the difficulties surrounding this question
might be got over.
Mr. AGLIONBY pressed on the Government the necessity
of enfranchising copyholds in the north of England. He
was sure if they did so, they. would ensure the support of
hundreds who would otherwise oppose them.
Sir H. PEEL trusted the Hon. Member for Pontefract
would withdraw his amendment. As to the proposition of
the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, he thought it could not
be entertained on the present discussion. He thought it
was well worthy of consideration irrespective of the corn-
laws. He thought the expense of transferring landed pro-
perty was a great evil.
Mr. WILLIAM MILES dissented to the whole of the amend-
ments proposed. He intended, upon the discussion of
the Bill, to maintain the corn-law of 1842. At present, he
should offer no further opposition to the measure, but he
wished it to be understood, that in doing so, he did not abate
one iota of his opposition to the resolutions, which lie looked
upon merely as the foundation of the Bill, to which he
should give his most determined opposition before it left that
House.
After sonic discussion, in which Sir Arthur Brooke, Mr.
Acland, Mr. Stafford O'Brien, Mr. Charier; Buller, Mr. P.
Borthwick, Mr. Ward, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Hume, Mr. Fitz-
gerald, and Lord George Bentinck joined,
Mr. M. Miroons withdrew his amendment.
Mr. P. HOWARD withdrew the motion of which lie had
given notice, for the extension of the period of protection
upon corn until the Ist day of February, 1851.
The resolutions with respect to the importation cf corn
were, as originally propqsed by the Government, agreed to
after a short discussion, in the course of which
Sir R. PEEL stated that it was his intention to bring in the
Bill founded on the resolutions on Monday ; that on that day
it should be read a first time, and he should suggest that
the second reading should take place on Monday week.
Colonel SIETIIORP renewed his attack against the Go-
vernment for not having several of its members in that
House, especially the Secretary for the Colonies, and the
Secretary for Ireland, and begged to know when the Right
Hon. Baronet expected to see them on the Treasury benches?
Sir R. PEEL could not say, but, he would undertake, if
the Gallant Colonel would accept the Chiltern Hundreds,
that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, should op-
pose him for Lincoln.
Colonel Sin-mono. said lie should consider himself dis-
graced by applying to the Government for the Chiltern
Hundreds, and if he did he defied the Hon. Baronet or the
Secretary for Ireland to turn him out of Lincoln.
Sir R. PEEL, in answer to an observation from Mr.
DISRAELI, said that Mr. GLADSTONE had attended every
Cabinet Council since he had been Secretary of State for the
Colonies, although he was not a Member of Parliament.
' The resolutions with respect to Indian corn, buck wheat,
and rice, were then proposed.
Mr. MILES opposed the resolution.
Sir R. PEEL believed, if corn was admitted duty free,
many benevolent individuals would spend large sums in
the purchase of it to assist in allaying the wants of the
people of Ireland. He believed it would answer all purposes
if members would allow the resolution to pass through the
Committee that night, and discuss the question on the re-
port on Monday, as he did not purpose to include this reso-
lution in the Corn Bill.
The proposition of the Right Hon. Baronet was, after a
short discussion, agreed to, the resolution adopted, and the
report upon it ordered to be taken into consideration on
Monday.
The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the
House adjourned to Monday.

The resolutions which relate to wheat, barley, oats, rye
peas, and beans, and their respective meals, as also those
which relate to buck-wheat, maize, maize-meal, and rice,
have now been passed, and the Bill which is to regulate
henceforth the import duties on these articles of food will be
brought in on Monday next. The course which has been
taken by the protectionists with regard to the various
amendments of Mr. STANLEY, Mr. Mu2eas, and others, has
unexpectedly expedited the progress of Sir R. PEEL'S
measure very greatly. They will have either the present protec-
tion or none ; they resist Sir R. PEEL'S measures in this spirit,
and with the intention, if the measures pas, of endeavouring
to get them repealed and to come back to the state of things
now; they will not, therefore, be parties in any degree to any
change, by supporting any modifications of Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S proposals, and they wash their hands of all amend-
mentr. When Mr. STANLEY'S amendment, last ntht, was
supposA to be on the point of sensing to a division, it was
amusing to see the protectionist phalanx wheeling
out of the House in compact body. Well, we are
quite ready to compound for the protectionists' chance
of getting protection back again hereafter by their
aloption of a course now which so materially facili-
tates the speedy enactment of Sir It. PEEL'S proposals.
Once let Sir R. PEEL'S measure become the law of the laud,
and we wish the protectionists may get it rescinded. They-
look to a dissolution, infatuated men I Let them depend on
it that every week, nay every day which passes, increases the
force of public opinion_in favor of free trade, and brings its
aid towards the future verification of Mr. CORD I's predic,
tion as to the result of an appeal to the country.
The course which the protectionist party are taking in the
Commons will, we presume, also be taken hereafter in the
Lords; and if so, we get rid of a danger which has hitherto
been present to our minds, of some modification in the Upper
House which might cause the rejection of the Bill alto-
ther. There is now, however, no doubt that the protec-
tionist party are committed to abstaining altogether from
support of amendments; and this being so, all doubt about
the fate of the Bill in the Upper House is removed. We re-
peat a statement which we made some days ago, that calcu-
lations, by persons most competent to form an opinion, make
a majority of at least thiry for the Government in the House
of Lards.

The Austrian Government is said to be a paternal Govern-
ment, watching over the people with more than a father's
care, chastising them only when they are in error, treating
them with great kindness when they continue in the beaten
tract, but punishing them with severity when they venture
to think that they are wiser than their rulers, or that they
are in any way capable of self-government, or judging for
themselves. If this is paternal government, England may well
congratulate herself that she knows not its blessings, and
that by disobedience to its precepts she has emancipated
herself from the thraldoin of priests, banished a race of
kings calling themselves the fathers of their people, and
established a system of government, which has raised her
to the highest pitch of power, and made her the envy of
the world. But despotism is so attractive to those in office,
that it is never given up but by force, and Austria,
which knows that by force alone it can be retained, has
taken care to .keep herself fully prepared by a large army
and its pteuliardistribution to put down every attempt to
wrest absolute dominion from her hands. Nothing but this
cueellromrat consciousnessnavrleing of power could have induced the First Chan-

themselves German, not forming part of any
com-
munity acknowledged in the Austrian monarchy, are an
legal association, and have no right of domicile in the em-
pire. Those who compose it are to be punished as crimi-
nals in case of any breach of certain articles of the code re.
lative to the rights of the Church. Foreigners professing
the new doctrines, if they enter the country without
the permission of the Austrian Minister residing at
their respective courts, are immediately to be expelled—
in other words, they:will not be suffered to enter the country.
Foreigners residing in Austria professing these doctrines
shall be ordered to quit the country without delay, and
article 6th provides that in case of the death of any one of
these sectaries no funeral ceremony shall be performed, un-
less the priests of the church to which ho belonged shall
have given their consent, and the body shall be buried in

silence through the intervention ofthe civil authorities. And in
the event of any Austrian functionary adopting the new
doctrine, he shall be immediately proscribed and removed
from office. But vain are all these safeguards for
the Ca.tholic faith. They have already been tried,
and at every trial they only added fuel to the flame.
All this, however, is in perfect keeping with the
despotic, and deadening policy which has so
long prevailed in the Aulic councils, and they have reaped
the fruits. It led to the defeat of every Austrian army
when it came in contact with the French under the Re-
public, the Consulate., and the Empire, and it bids fair to
dissolve the heterogeneous mass of states now kept in sub-
jection by MwrrEuxicn, solely from the :ear of banishment,
perpetual imprisonment, or death.

If we could have counselled Mr. Emma. with hope of
success, :we should have said,—" Let the Andover Union
wait till the Corn Bill has got through the House of Com-
mons." It must be allowed, however, in justice to the Hon-
Member for Andover, that he expressed his readiness to post-
pone his motion, if other Hon. Members who had notices
after his would also postpone theirs, in order to allow the
Committee on the commercial resolutions to come on. Mr.
NEWDEGATE expressed his determination to bring on his
motion for inquiry into the proceedings in the Warwickshire
Registration Courts ; and if the night was to be occupied, to
the exclusion of free-trade, the Honourable Member for An-
dover had as much right to the night as the Member for
Warwickshire ; and there is no comparison in respect of
importance between the two motions. We yield to none,
and have shown it often, in desire for the success, and the
speedy success, of Sir R. PEEL'S measures ; but that does
not blind us to the importance of the questions raised on
Thnrsday night, as to the mismanagement in the Andover
Union, the extraordinary mode is which the Poor. law
Commissioners obstructed the inquiry which they had
themselves instituted, and their peculiar treatment•of the
Assistant-Commissioner who conducted the inquiry,
Mr. PARKER. There is no reason why the ad-
verse division of Thursday should in any way injure the
eause of free trade. There is no connexion between the two
questions. As to the decision which is said to have been
turned against the Government by the protectionists, it
may be so or it may not. If it be, we have only
to say that the votes of gentlemen, given
against the Government from pique, are worth as much as
if given (as they would have been given last session) for the
Government, for no other reason than to help the Govern-
ment, and equally without regard to the merits of the case.
But we have taken some trouble to analyse the division ; and
we find that in the majority of 92 for Mr. CaarsTix's amend-
ment (on which the division took place) there were no less
than 38 Members from the Liberal side, and among them
some must zealous free-traders, that some Conser-
vative Members who support Sir Roman' PEEL, as
Sir Jonx HANDIER, Mr. Alderman COPELAND, and Mr.
BODKIN, were also in the malerity, and that a large
proportion of the Conservative Members, who voted against
the Government, have always been consistent opponents of
the Poor-law Commissioners.

The unanimity of the speakers in faiyour of inquiry into
the treatment of Mr. PARKER is a much stronger and more
striking proof of its propriety than the majority of
votes. Every one who rose, with the single exception of
Sir • JAMES GRAHAM, treated inquiry as imperatively
necessary, and if it had been necessary before, Sir
JAMES GRAHAM'S speech, as Mr. HUME observed, made the
necessity stronger. Sir JAMES GRAHAM vindicated Mr.
PARKER'S dismissal, by charging him generally with indis-
cretion and insubordination. Specific instances in support of
these general charges Sir J. GRAHAM avoided mentioning.
Mr. PA.RKER, after ten years' service in the Poor-law Com-
mission, having received during that service many marks of
the approbation of his superiors, is dismissed without cause
assigned, but under circumstances calculated to give rise
to all sorts of suspicions and imputations; he is thrown
back upon hiS profession, under great disadvantages;
and the Home Secretary having an opportunity, in the
House of Commons, of explaining the reason of Mr. PARKER'S
dismissal, if he does not choose to allow the House of Com-
mons to inquire into it, gives no explanation, deals still in
general charges only, adds some general charges of his own,
as if anxious to add to the load of disadvantage under which
Mr. PARKER has been compelled to return to the legal pro-
fession, and refuses inquiry. We shall now ascertain, we
presume, the specific complaints against Mr. PARKER.
The Poor-law Commissioners claim, it appears, the
power of removing these , Assistant-Commissioners. The
division of Thursday has settled that question. But if the
House of Commons had sanctioned such a claim, we say
that there would have been an end to all chance of
procuring men of character and independence to fill the
office of Assistant-Commissioner. The Assistant-Commis-
sioners am generally taken from the bar ; and among them
are many members of the bar of high standing and reputa-
tion. Mr. PARKER'S treatment might have been theirs, if
the Government had had a majority.

Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have been received. On
that day the discussion on the Bill for indemnifying the lay
titheholders was resumed, when the Finance Minister took
the opportunity of making certain statements calculated to
allay the anxiety of the public in reference to the new plans.
The measure, he said, had originated with the former Go-
vernment, and so far from the new loan injuring credit, he
was quite sure that it would have the contrary effect, and
that public credit would soon rise. The law established one
great point—the abolition of tithes, and the proposed grant
for public worship and the clergy bad been reduced by
9,000,000 reals, which would afford additional means of
paying the interest of the debt. The Gazeita publishes a
royal decrees appointing M. M..tETINEZ DE LA. ROSA Am-
bassador of Spain in Paris.
The prospect of a new loan had depressed the funds. The
Three per Cents. closed at 30} for cash, and 30 13-16 at 60
days; and the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days.

In the French Chamber of Deputies some questions were
put to the Minister of Public Works relative to a fatal acci-
dent which, it was said, had occurred on the Lyons and St.
Etienne Railway. The Minister regretted much to be
obliged to state that a very dreadful accident had certainly
occurred, the particulars of which he had received on Wed-
nesday morning from the Prefect of the Rhone. The shock
was frightful. One of the locomotives was dashed to pieces,
and several waggons were entirely crushed. On receiving
intelligence of the accident, the Prefect, the Procureur du Roi,
and the Procureur-General proceeded to the spot, and found
that eight persons had been killed and 30 wounded, of whom
10 very dangerously. "This melauchely accident," he added,
" was not to be attributed to any defect in the construction
of the line, but rather to a want of care and prudence on the
part of the administration. The whoic affair was at present
under official investigation, which might call fur punishment
both eriniinilly stated also, at the same
time, that the cause of the fall of the Barentin viaduct was
now perfectly well known to be a want cf firmness in the
bases of the columns on which the arches were constructed. In
the Committees, the Deputies had examined several bills
among others, two for the better fortification of Havre. By
one a sum of 11,500p01. were demanded for the fortifica-
tions towards the sea, and 10,000,000 f. for those on the land •
side. By another Bill, the Government demands 16,000,000 f.
for improvements in the harbour, and for the construction
of four forts. Both Bills were approved of in the
bureaux. Another Bill, demanding 19,200,000 f. for the
fortifications of Cherbourg was also examined, and ap-
proved of. The Postal Reform Bill called forth a length-
ened discussion, and was generally approved of. Several
Members, however, warmly advocated a uniform postage.

The insurrection in Poland is adverted to in most
of the papers, but great mystery appears still to
prevail on this melancholy subject. It b distressing
to hear of such gallant people constantly rising up
against their oppressors, and often without the slightest
prospect of success, only to be trampled down anew. The
Journal des Debuts, in the following paragraph, attributes to
Prussia and Austria merits to which they are not entitled, but
the rest of it unfortunately is too true :7" Since the first par..
tition of Poland, now more than seventy years ago, the Poles
have several times endeavoured to regain the independence
of their country. They have always paid most dearly for
their efforts, which, though always heroic, were frequently
inopportune and wanting in prudence. This last attempt,
undertaken against the three powers, two of whom, Austria
and Prussia, hare shown great tolerance towards their
Polish provinces, conforming besides to those principles of
justice and humanity which cannot be denied their Govern-
ments, appears to us destined to draw down upon
this unfortunate country only new misery." According
to a letter from Breslaw, of the 27th of February, the insur-
gents of Cracow were in possession of the town as late as the
25th, and the Provisional Government, in anticipation of an
attack on the 28th by the Prussian troops, had ordered all
the male inhabitants from eighteen to fifty years of age to
take arms in support of the insurrection. A proclamation
had been issued exhorting. the people to exertion, and pro-
mising abolition of all their grievances.
It is stated in one of the Paris papers, that M. BQUTENIEFF,
the Russian Minister at Rome, had 'presented a note to
the POPE, denying, in the most positive manner, the state-
mnts relative to the persecution of the Basilian nuns at
Minsk. The note contradicts the whole of the assertions
alleged to have been made by the Lady Abbess.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(afore Mr. Commisioner B ULLOCK.)

JOSEPH V. Ii SWELL.

This was an action to recover the sum of 121., on a
guarantee. The defendant pleaded the general issue.
The facts of this case were rather important. It appeared
by the evidence for the plaintiff; that in July last a pro-
missory note, signed by Rbbert and James Haswell, was
dishonoured, and an action was commenced on the 26th of
September. On the Bth of October the defendant gave a
guarantee to pay the note, in consideration that the plaintiff
would "withhold al proceedings." On the 9th, however,
tke declaration in the action was filed ; and, as there was no
defence to the action, judgmei:t was issued on the 11th. On
the 23d James Haswell Wli2 numnioned bef.re the Court
under the Sinai! Debts Act, to show cata.e why be did not
pay the suns of 51., for which judgment had been entered up.
Mr. THOMAS contendad tli4t the plaintiff hat!, by proceed-
ing with the txtior, absolved tho ilefendant fro) liaL lit r.
It was now alleged that there had beep a distinct 6E4 of
5/. due from James Haswell, thy gouda go 4 grid tlplivere4.
The writ and declaration had been issued for 19/.-las., which
would have covered the amount both of the note and the
debt; that AlthOugh the declaration was not filed until after
the guarantee was gtvon, ).4 plap thoDlaintiff could not split
his claim and proceed fur one paft fully ; apit that as tp pip
whole, the plaintiff was debarred from proceeling 'after he
had egcOpted a guaratitee to '• withhold all proceedings fur
one month," _ _

The Learned COM3iffiSioxite, in etitirsising the jury, seld
that the insertion 4'f 19/. 19s. waa merely norninal2 btit they
cou'd not go beyond :401, in this Court. The whole quest:ou
for the jury was, whether the guaNntee wa or staying !Cil
proceedings, or only the action 4s far as regarth4 the prmips=
sory note.

Mr. Thous submitted that the declaration was framed t 9
meet the guarantee.
The Learned CO3IMISSIONER said it was clearly proved
that judgment was entered up for 51. only, although under
the same declaration the bill might have bean recovered,
The jury consulted for a short time, and then retired for
nearly an hour, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
