LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1846.

A Parliamentary return, which has just appeared, fur-
nishes some curious, we may almost say startling, informa-
tion about these term incognitte, the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge. It is a return of various particulars relative
to certain professors in the two Universities, and. among
other particulars, of the number-of pupils attending their lec-
tures. The professors included in the return are the Regius
Professors of Divinity, Physic, Civil Law, Greek and
Hebrew, the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, and the
Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic in both Universities,
the Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology and Ecclesi-
astical History in Oxford, and certain professors, to whom an
• annual stipend is voted •by Parliament, and who, we gather
from the return itself, are paid by Parliament, as follows :

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
ve o'clock.
Various petitions having been presented,

The Earl ST. GERMANS moved the third reading of the
Irish Pacification Bill.

Several verbal amendmen,s were proposed and agreed to,
and after a desultory conversation, the Bill, as amended, was
read a third time and passed.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
The SPEAKEn took the chair at Four o'clock.

Several railway Bills were read a second time and ordered
to be committed.
Lord HENRY BENIAINCK took the oaths and his seat for
North Nottingham.
Several railway Bills were read a third time and passed.
The Grand Trunk, or Stafford and Peterborough Railway
Bill was react a second time, after a division, by a majority
of 20.

Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice of his intention on Thurs-
day, the, 26th of l e iarch, to move that th 'louse on that day
do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House for the
purpose of considering the state of Ireland.
Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from an Hon.
day
Hon.
Membei, said it was impossible for him to say
he should bring forward the reduction of theon w
sugar duties.
It was his intention, however, to do so as soon as the corn
importation measure was disposed of.
In answer to a question from Mr. O'CoNNELL, Sir R. PEEL
said it was the intention of the Government, immediately upon
the Irish Protection of Life and Property Bill coming into the
Howse, to move that it be printed, and taken iato con-
sideration on an early day.
The South Sea Company Bill was recd a third time and
ptssed, on the motion of the Cif:MELLOR of theExcns:QuEn.
Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to afford
tremporary provision for persons affected with fever in Ireland.
Mr.WAKl.F.vthought the best course to stop the disease that
was now raging in Ireland was to provide the people wit h food.
After Some observations fram Mt. COLQUHOUN, Captain
OsHORNE, Lord U. BENTINCK, Mr. HUME, Mr. O'CONNELL,
Sir J. GRAHAM said that nothing had been lost sight of by
the Government to alleviate, as far as possible, the distress
and misery that was existing in Ireland.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN believed it' the English proprietors of Ire-
land were compelled to do their duty, the people of Ireland
would be in a much better condition than they were at pre-
sent, and would not be under the necessity of calling upon
British generosity.
After some further discussion, leave was given to bring in
the Bill.

Mr. GREENE then brought up the report on the customs
and corn importation measure ; and on the question that the
first resolution with respect to silk be read a second time,
Mr. R. SPOONER moved that it be read a second time that
day six months, believing that, if carried, it would have the
effect of paralysing native industry. The Hon. Gentleman
attributed the whole of the evils under which the country

House adjourned till Monday.

Destitution, disease, and want of employment, are spread-
ing with the most alarming rapidity throughout Ireland.
Even the veriest sceptics of the misery germinating among
the populace of that doomed country find it no longer possible
to hesitate in acknowledging the present emergency. Sir R•
PEEL, in his character of Prime Minister, has demanded in
the most ;solemn language the assistance of Parliament
for those millions of starving Irish. Mr. O'Cossinen
has pronounced the condition of his fellow-countrymen as
requiring one immediate help from Government, if the legisla-
tors would comply with their responsibilities as guardians of
the multitude, or, in fact, if they would fulfil the most 'Oa"
nign precept of Christianity by feeding the hungry. P?o-
-fessors KANE and PLAYFAIR have given us the detailed
statistics of that, deficiency in vegetable food, which is now
tending to debilitate, if not to exterminate, a fearful portion of
the population of Ireland. The Legislature also has acted a be-
coming and merciful part on this occasion ; the ordinary rant ins
of Parliamentary business has been interrupted to afford an op-
portunity for expediting certain measures likely to entail
much benefit upon the sister island. A preference has been
given to questions hinging upon Irish matters. Indian
corn to a considerable amount has been purchased
with our national funds, and shipped for the principal ports
of Ireland, as much to preserve the scanty crop remaining
of sound potatoes to be employed as seed for the next harvest,
as for the purpose of placing wholesome provisions at a
moderate charge within the reach of the sufferers. Various
modes have been devised and mooted, both within and with-
out St. Stephen's, by which remedies might be applied
to an extensive and importunate and spreading
evil. Some of these devices have been adopted. But
while arrangements are thus making tardily and with hesi-
tation, the penury and helplessness of those four or fire
millions of human beings are daily becoming more and more
dire, and hopeless, and awful. Each packet is the bearer of
still more calamitous intelligence, the harbinger of yet
darker days. Starvation in some districts is not only
threatening—it has already commenced. Agents have
been dispatched to those scenes of want and idle-
ness; their communications in return have more than
corroborated all the previous rumours of wretchedness.
Fever and dysentery—originating in tainted roots, or in a
total absence of nourishment—are prevalent to no unim-
portant extent in several of the towns and villages of Clare.
While the hovels, which in moments even of plenty are always
choked up with filth enough to generate a mallaria, are now
abandoned to a yet greater state of dilapidation ; the limbs
end muscles of their inmates rendering them by emaciation
but little inclined to exertion. Nor are these terrih!e grievan-
cies confined to the inner and more rustic parishes ; the
dwellers on the sea-shore are beginning to experience sll the
fiercest pangs of privation. So extreme is their indigence—
so hopeless their future—that not merely have the poor fisher-
men been compelled to part with their little scraps of house-
hold furniture (such as beds) and their wearing apparel, in
order to appease for a time the hunger of their families,
but they have been driven to that final stress of all, the
necessity of raising a trifle of money upon their nets. By
these circumstances all opportunity of redeeming their po-
sition is lost for ever, unless some charitable interference may
enable them to struggle again in their own calling for their
livelihood. Seventy-five of these fishing-nets have been
staked away for food in the above manner on the
south-west coast alone ; and so urgent were the cir-
cumstances under which the bargain was struck, that
the pawnbroker of Kilrush declares his conviction that if
the unfortunate men could possibly have conveyed their
boats to his warehouse, they would have resigned those instru-
ments of their industry into his possession for the purpose of
buying meal. That these significant occurrences may not
pass without the observation of Government, a petition from
the fishermen of Clare has, it appears, been drawn up, im-
ploring the Members of the Lower House to take the penury
or the petitioners into consideration. And fain are we
to believe that that prayer will not remain long un-
answered. The dykes are breaking down; if they be
not speedily repaired, Ireland will be inundated with woe.
Believing, however, as we do, in the promptitude and justice
of Parliament, we cannot for a moment suppose that that au-
gust body will remain impervious to the lamentations of the
famishing. Let our legislators remember, however, that the
scarcity among the Irish is gradually dwindlieg down to
nothing : and that, after the warnings and supplications
which they have already received, they will be
answeralle before Hearen for one single victim of

starvation In addition to the Government pro-
posal, there is the suggestion of the Premier, that private
charity should co-operate with the Legislature in finJing sus
tenance and employment for the poverty. stricken Irish.
This suggestion appears to have been treated slightly, or to
have been altogether contemned; bat for ourselves, we
conceive it to be imperative upon every individual who is
competent, to join in some grand, national contribution for
affording succour for the famished crowds in Ireland. A
mere mite from each would accumulate into a vast boon
for those destitute classes of our countrymen. By depriving
ourselves of not one single comfort we might ward off death
from the unfortunate. An omniscient DEITY has thought

proper to visit Ireland with one of his severest scourges : it
is the very moment, therefore, when England should follow
one amongst the noblest precepts inculcated by that DEITY.
We feel assured that this recommendation from the lips of
the Prime Minister is not merely feasible, but that it is ab-
solutely requisite. Indeed it is but reasonable, while coer-
cion is proposed for the suppression of Molly Maguireism,
of the Rockite factions, the Whiteboy conspiracies, and
those hideous agrarian assassinations which are unhappily so
prevalent iu our sister country ;—it is but reasonable, we say,
that this coercive system (abstractly so obnoxious to the
Irish tenantry, should be reconciled, in some measure, to the
populace, by simultaneous efforts on the part of Government
and of the British public, to employ the unemployed and to
feed the foodless. A community of action such as this would
be conducive to the welfare of the peasantry, while it would
enforce their reverence for and obedience to the majesty of
the temporary law. As a co-operative measure, nothing,
however, would be more likely to ensure this happy consum-
mation than a strenuous movement on the part of the Irish
landlords—an interference on behalf of the labouring classes,
more natural than any interference of Government, or
of the English public, and one more certain of ensuring the
tranquillity and of compensating for the bygone miseries of
that luckless multitude. It was from a conviction of this
fact that Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'Bn:Esr endeavoured to im•
press the necessity upon the representatives and the Mi-
nistry; it was from a conviction of this fact that Sir llonnits"
PEEL, immediately afterwards declared that "unless the Irish
proprietors can be induced to come forward and co-operate
with the Government, all that can be done will be almost
entirely useless." Surrounded, however, by those gloomy
signs of hesitation, and increased poverty, and contagious
maladies, let Ireland still remain patient and hopeful ; her
cup of sorrow is coming to the dregs; a happier epoch is
approaching.
In the midst of such scenes the very ingratitude of Mr. S.
O'BasEx will pass by unheeded, and the ill-timed and in-
jurious remarks, which he made last evening, be drowned
amidst the cries of starvation from his countrymen.

We observe that Mr. PARKER, the Member for Sheffield,
has given notice of a motion on the subject of railway legis
lation, which wears much more of a practical appearance
than the proposed motion of Mr. MonnisoN. Mr. PARKER'S
motion is for a Select Committee, " to consider whether pre-
cautions cannot be devised by which the effects of the rail-
way legislation, now pending, on the labour and money
markets of the country, may be provided against." This is
hitting the right nail on the head. Mr. PARKER'S motion is
fixed for Wednesday next. Before then weshall return to the
subject. Mr. Monnisow has fixed his motion for Thursday
next; but Mr. PARKER'S motion, on Wednesday, will pro.
bably lead to a debate that will bring out the views of
both Hon. Members, and render Mr Monntsort's motion
unnecessary.

We have received Madrid journals of the 6th, but they
bring no news. The Funds on that day were rather more
firm the Three per Cents. closed at 29% for the 30th inst.
Nothing was done in the Five per Cents.

The Paris papers in general regard the Polish insurrection
as at an end, though some of more sanguine temperament
still entertain lingering hopes that in the distant provinces
the struggle may be carried on with some chance of success.
That, however, is neither the common belief, nor even the
wish of the best friends of Poland, and all that can be done
now, is to raise funds with a view to render some relief to
the devoted victims of this ill-judged attempt. All classes in
France have evinced their sympathy for Poland. Even the
clergy have come forward and mingled their prayers
with the sympathetic wishes of their countrymen for the
restoration of this afflicted people. The Bishop of PUY
has addressed the following appeal to the inhabitants of
his diocese :—" Beloved diocesans, we will respond to
the wishes of those brethren who by their impetuous valour
and the brilliant qualities of their hearts have desired to be
called the French of the North. Never, perhaps, was Polani
more worthy of the sympathies of all Catholic hearts.. Be-
hold her in her hale, old age bringing forth martyrs, whose
heroism is no wise inferior to that of the first champions of
our faith. Poland, unhappy and beloved sister, you will not
have vainly placed your hopes in the Galilean Church; we
will all minister relief to your sufferings. The pontiffs, clergy-
men, and faithful unite their voices and hearts to implore peace
and mercy in your behalf. Our prayer will ascend to Heaven
with the still smoking gore of your martyrs, and the blood
of martyrs, mingled with the prayers of the saints, ever falls
as a shower of blessings on the land from which it rose. We
already descry, at no remote distance, the dawn of less in-
auspicious days, which the LORD reserves for that noble
land. The entire of Europe is attentive to the groans escap-
ing from the bosoms of your children on the icy shores of
Siberia. Everywhere generous voices are raised to demand
your deliverance, and everywhere those voices are rapturously

hailed by_ the sympathising nations." Not fewer than 148
Members of the Chamber of Depfitie4 have subscribed sums
for the relief of the insurgents. Most d the public schools
and the Parisian bar also have subscribed. The sums, it
is true, are small, but France is not a wealthy country,
and the universal feeling of sympathy only shows
what the people would do if they had the means.
The Polytechnic School has subscribed 50/. ; the Normal
School, 361. ; the Central School of Arts and Sciences, 161. ;
and the Parisian bar, 381. The Government are anxious to
repress any popular demonstration which may give offence
to Russia or other powers ; but, as far as can be judged from
the official organs, even the Ministers feel great sympathy
in the cause. Some nights since police agents were sta-
tioned in the pit of the Opera to prevent any outbreak of
popular feeling, and, according to the National, the bullet of
Dialle ea Quatre was prohibited on Wednesday night,
because, the scene being laid in Poland, some noisy
demonstration was likely to be made. The same jour-
nal relates Cho following occurrence:—"As the KING to-day,
at three o'clock, was driving in his carriage across the Place
de la Concorde, on his way to g citizen took off his
hat, awl saluted his MAJESTY with the cry of f Firs ill
Pologne 1' This was immediately repeated by some five,
and-twenty persons, and it was sufficiently loud, notwith-
standing the noise of the carriage aftd stir galloping of the
horses, to mach the ears of the fi.rxo, who, p#4 4P:04113g it;

the deepest sympathy; and in the tiocond Chamber, on the
4th instant, a strong demonstration was made lit their favour.
M. DE GABELENTZ, in pursuance of a notice given the pre-
ceding day, asked the Ministry Whether it was true that all
Poles, without excepting even those who had long been set-
tled in Saxony, had been ordered to leave the kindoni, and
if this were so, to explain the motives for such an extreme
measure, in order to satisfy those who feared that the sacred
rights of hospitality were not in any degree violated by
Saxony, which country had ever made it a point of honour
to observe them most religiously. The Minister of State,
M. DE FULKENSTEIN, declared that he was the more ready
to give the explanation demanded, as the measure had
been unjustly condemned. It was, he said, genera', but was
taken in such a manner as to leave those affected by it
sufficient time to make every requisite preparation for de-
parture and arrangement; for the future. The measure,
though genera', did not exclude exceptions, and the number
of Poles in Saxony whom it could be applied to was only
sixteen, but he could not make known in a public sitting
the motives which had induced the Government to adopt
it. M. DE GABELENTz: then made a motion, that the
Chamber should insert in its minutes that it was confident
that the Ministry would modify the measure taken with
regard to the Poles in such manner, that those who were
able to prove they had a legal domicile in Saxony should
continue to reside in the kingdom. Upon the motion of M.
DE LESCIIAU, the Chamber went into secret committee.
This secret sitting lasted two hours, at the end of which the
Chamber resumed its public sitting, and after a further
debate, the motion of M. DE GABELENTZ was carried unani-
mously. _ _

We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the papers
The St. Petersburgle journals, of the 25th ult., publish the reports
of General Prince Andronikoff, Commander-in-Chief of Southern
Dagbestan According to these reports, part of the Caucasus may
be regarded as entirely pacified. Generals Niesteroff and Freitag
have made, in the forest of Sheki, openings like those effected in the
wood of Goilo in December last. The Russian detachments have
had some skirmishes with the Schetchenes, which latter were
worsted, and their country, one of the most difficult in the Caucasus,
is thereby opened to the Russian armies. On the right wing of the
line of the Caucasus, the warlike tribe of the Ahadseks. wh!ch
amounts to about 100,000, has made Its submission to Russia.
A letter from Stutgard of the 2d lust. says :—" Yesterday the
municipal council, 'with M. Gutbrod, the mayor, at their head, pro-
ceeded to congratulate the King on the approaching marriage of the
Prince, his son. with the daughter of the Emperor of Russia, the
Princess Olga. After having thanked the deputation for their
friendly sentiments, the King said : ' I take advantage of this oppor-
tunity; gentlemen, to tranquillise certain persons not only in our
country, but throughout the whole of Germany, who have seen in
this circumstance cause of alarm for the Independence of our future
policy. The union which my beloved SON is about to contract is
entirely unconnected with political considerations ; and you may
rest satisfied that as long as I. live I shall follow the exclusive
system of German interests, which is that of our country. I feel
convinced that my son, when called on to govern, will act as I "
