CORN-LAWS.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
a place in the county of Southampton, praying that no
alteration would be made in the existing corn-laws. The
petitioners stated that it was the confidence they had in
the protection afforded to the agricultural produce of this
country that had induced them to invest their capital in
extensive improvements, the loss of which they appre-
hended in the event of the removal of that protection.

Company, for leave to bring in a Bill to construct a branch
from a point on their main line to Gretna, the estimated cost of

where the branch commences on the main line was not suffi-
ciently specified on the plan of the branch by some distinc-
tive mark. It was stated in the section that the branch
would commence at the point on the plan where the main line
diverged, marked A. The plan showed the point where the
main line diverged, but it was not marked A.

TWO DIIII3ICT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH
RAILWAY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
_ _ ._

Mr. BURKE said the contract deed before the Committee
was not the contract deed brought before the House last
year, notwithstanding that the Bill had been part-heard last
session of Parliament. The standing order was imperative
for the same deed being brought forward again where a Bill
was brought in as a Bill part-heard.
Mr. Burke having been sent for by the Chairman of another
Committee,
ir. COLES supported the objection. The contract of this
year had the same names as that of last year, but the sum
set down to the names of parties who were only bound for
about 2,0001. in the first deed amounted in the present deed to
5-30,0001. Now those parties had never subscribed that
sum, so that it must have been paid in their names by other
persons.
The CHAIRMAN said it mattered not who bad paid the
money, the persons complained of were bound ; the money
AM paid, perhaps, by some of their friends, but that was not
for the Committee to inquire into. It was therefore the
opinion of the Committee that the standing orders had been
complied with.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, NEW
ROAD, LONDON.
Messrs. MORISON have much pleasure in publishing the follow-
ing letter with the writer's permission.
It is well-known to all the world that Lady Sophia Grey has been
following the Hygeian treatment for the last ten years, and therefore
her opinion must be admitted as highly valuable in a matter of
such vast importance. ller Ladyship's letter is as follows:
" Sandiway, near Northwich, Cheshire,
December Ilth, 1845.
" Gentlemen,—This has been such a dreadful sickly year amongst
the poor, that the demand for your most excellent pills has been
very great, and I shall therefore be thankful for the usual supply of
them.
" I take this opportunity of enclosing the 5L for 1846, towards the
Exeter ilygeian Dispensary.
" I think nothing can be more satisfactory than the progress that
your medicine makes; and wishing it may in time gain a complete
victory. " I remain, Gentlemen,
" Your sincerely obliged,
" GREY."
" To Messrs. Morison, British College of health,
New-road, London."

Cantion—No Chemist or Druggist is authorised to sell Morison's
Medicines. They arc only to be had of the appointed Agents. See
that the words " Morison's Univeral Medicines" are engraved in the
Government stamp, in white letters upon a red ground, without
which none can be genuine,

THE LATE EXTRAoRDINARY
VERDICT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUiV.

- -
SIN-If it will not be encroaching on your valuable space,
will you allow me, through the medium of your journal, to
ask two questions of those enlightened jurymen, who dis-
played so much judgmemt and humarity in the case of the
unparallelled monster, Captain Johnstone?
The first point on which I should like to be informed is,
whether a man's drinking to excess, with a view to embolden
him to commit some atrocious deed, is a sufficient plea for
insanity? If so, I should advise all murderers, ere they
proceed to their awful task, to take to drinking a day or two
beforehand, when they will undergo a mock ceremony, called
a trial, and be acquitted on the ground of insanity.
Why was Taiping hung, who shot his sweetheart in a fit
of jealousy. which amounts to nothing less than temporary
insanity?
The second question I would ask is, whether they took
their own views of the case or those of the counsel for the de-
fendant? It would seem they were entirely guided by the
latter. Thus the primary object of juries has been frus-
tratLd. Your humble and obedient servant,

Earl GREY presented a petition from the tenant
farmers of Forfar in favour of the Ministerial plan for
the reduction of duties on the various articles of food
The petition, however, deprecated the delay of three
years, considering it injurious to their interests. The
Noble Earl trusted that the opinion of the petitioners
would have weight with her Majesty's Ministers.
Earl ST. GERMANS moved the second reading of the
Public Works (Ireland) Bill. He thought that the
measure would be found most beneficial in developing

JUSTITIA..

To-day is the sixth anniversary of the mar-
riage of her Majesty with his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
ROBBERY AT KINGSGA.TE-STREET COURT OF RE-
QUESTS.— On Saturday information was circulated thoughout
the Metropolitan and City police, that during the night of
Tuesday last some thief or thieves stole from the above court
about 4/. in silver, and about ss. in copper. The thieves were,
no doubt, from the smallness of the sum thus obtained,
greatly disappointed in their hope of plunder.
THE CORN MARKETS.—It is worthy of remark that
at the 'Wakefield corn market on Friday, the prices of all
kinds of grain advanced. Already the farmers, factors, and
millers see the emptiness of the fears which have so long
haunted them in regard to
.the effect of opening the ports.—
Leeds Mercury.
At a recent meeting of the Commissioners of the
Middlesex and Essex Turnpike Trust, at the Bird-in-Hand,
Stratford, it was still deemed expedient to collect the tolls
through their own servants, in lieu of letting them, as was
the custom a few years since.

mons gave his second full dress Parliamentary entertainment

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Sunday afternoon, at a quarter
before two, a young woman named Knight, aged 18, residing
in Ship-yard, Fleet-street, was standing on the floating pier
at the Temple, belonging to the Waterman'. Company, hold-

ing by the hand a child between two and three tears of age.
Wishing, however, to take the infant into her arms, she
.tooised for the purpose of lifting it up, when just at that pre-
cise moment a wave hit against the pier with considerable
force, by which both the female and child were precipitated
into the water. Notwithstanding that immediate assistance
was rendered the young woman was drowned, it being sup-
posed that her body was drawn under one of the neighbour-
ing barges, as, up to a late hour last evening, it had not been
recovered. The child was, however, fortunatel, rescued in
rather a remarkable manner, by a policeman who bad jumped
into a boat; the child was floating by means of its clothes,
when the policeman reached it by his foot, and getting his
foot under the child's clothing, held it up by this means tin
further assistance was procured, and the child was thus saved
rum a watery grave.
