FRIDAY, MAY 1.
PROTECTION OF LIFE (IRELAND) BILL.
Order read for resuming adjourned Debate on Amendment pro-
posed to be made to the Question, " That the Bill be now read the
first time," and which Amendment was to leave out from the word
" That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words " While
this House deplores the existence of outrage in Ireland, and is Me'
frillanxious for its repression, it is of opinion that such outrage
frill be aggravated, not removed, by the arbitrary, unjust, and un-
constitutional enactments of this Bill ; and that it is the duty of Par
liament to adopt such measures as will tend to eradicate the causes
which produce these crimes, instead of resorting to laws which will
harrass and oppress the innocent without restratning the guilty; 9ttd
which being restrictive of public liberty, cannot fail to augment
national discontent," instead thereof : Questi.,n again proposed;
" That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question.'
Debate resumed :—Question put. The House divided :

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR HOWARD ELFBIN-
STONE, BART., C.B.—The death of this gallant ()Meer took place on
Tuesday evening, at Ore Place, Sussex, at the seat of the family.
near Hastings. The deceased Major•Generel was the youngest of
eight sons of Capt. J. Elphinstone, subsequently. an Admiral in the
Russian navy, by Miss Warburton, daughter of Mr. J. Warburton.
He Ni as born in 1773, and married in 1803 his first cousin, eldest
daughter of Mr. J. Warburton. The gallant General had been up-
wards of fifty years in the army, as his commission as second Lieu-
tenant in the Royal Engineers is dated April, 1793. Sir Howard was

General Sir David Baird when he was officer -cmmanding the en-
gineers. In 1806, he was entrusted with a mission to Portugal-
He subsequently proceeded, under General Whitelocke, with the
expedition to Monte Video,, in the capacity of commanding
engineer. In 1808, when the Duke of Wellington, then Sir Artlutr
Wellesley, was sent out to Portugal in command of the ex-
pedition, he embarked with the Royal Engineers, of which
corps he was honoured by the command. At the battle of
Roleia, he rendered especial service, and was severely wounded in
that engagement ; but for the gallantry he displayed on that occasion
he was rewarded with the decoration of a medal. Sir Howard served
in the Peninsula from 1812 to the conclusion of the war, and was
commanding engineer at the passage of the Adour, and the blockade
of, and sortie from Bayonne. For his services in Egypt, be had re-
ceived a medal, and a medal and two clasps for Roleia, NI velle, anti
Nive. In 1816 he was created a Baronet of the United Kingdom.
and was nominated a Commander of the Bath. The deceased wag
Colonel Commandant of the Corps of Royal Engineers, and his com-
mission was dated as annexed :—Second Lieutenant, Arwil 24, 1793;
First Lieutenant, Feb. 5, 1796 ; Captain, July 1, 1800 ; Brevet-
Major, Jan. 1, 1812; Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel, July 21, 1813 ;
Regimental Colonel, Dec. 2, 1824 ; and Major-Gem;ral, Jan. 10, 1837.
The gallant deceased is succee4ed in the baronetcy' by his eldest son.
Mr. Howard Elphinstone, M.P. for Lewes. The pi•esent Baronet was
born in 1804, and married in 1829 Miss Curteis, youngest daughter
of Mr. E. J. Curteis. He entered the House of Commons as repre-
sentative of Hastings, from 1835 to 1837, and at The general election
in 1841 he was returned for Lewes, in conjunction with the lion'
Henry Fitzroy.
Complaints are unceasingly made of the irregular;
transmission of newspapers by the Post-office to 'different ports Ot
the country. From a heap of letters on the subje ct, we can eollec_
three separate methods of going wrong which seem to be in constant
practice. The first plan is to send in the evenir g the newspapers
which are ordered to be sent in the morning ; thy; effect of which
that they leave St. Martin's-le-Grand a few hovis after the time
which they should have reached their place of des- iination. The neat
plan, which far surpasses the first in the mascaitude of the incon-
venience venience occasioned, consists Ist keeping the ru:wspapers for twowt,a
three days, and then sending them at leisure. Here, we are ho !'ss,
to observe, the strictest impartiality is show and whether 11,..;
papers are sent in the morning or in the evening, they are ajoon
subjected to this delay. One might imagine tits t there was no;
for another plan, and that these two methods would Include
r.v_f',,,
species of irregularity. But they are nothing in point a efil 24',
to the third, which consists in not sending the papers at all. ,s'o get
we have three several descriptions of complui tits—those
their papers too late, those who get them at in, gular intervito_,,jet
those who never get them. There is certaiids .t.entething
wants mending here.—Times.
