-- The LORD Cg.i.Ncen.e.on took his seat on the Woolsack at
• • Five o'clock.
• After the presentation of petitions,
The Earl Sr. GER3IANS moved the
Irish Pacification Bill, andexplain* 'Committee on the

intended these was ..one to pro-

limit-
ing the duration of the Act to five
With regard to the amendment proposed by Earl GREY he
could not consent to it. The punishment of all others Most
dreaded by the Irish was transportation, and one example
of summary transportation would produce more effect than
many examples of imprisonment; and it should be remem-
bored that they were now about to apply an entrarordinary
remedy to on extraordinary state cf things. They could not
detect criminals, and, therefore, they were bound to prevent
crime by preventing persons being abroad after nightfall. The
Noble Earl then quoted the opinion of Mr. O'Coermenn in
1834, as to the necessity of some law to prevent persons
being out after nightfall. The object was, to get at those
. cencerning eviiosa guilt there could be no moral doubt,
but against whom persons refue•ed to give evidence.
Besides, the power of awarding punishment was; left to the
Judge, and it was impossible to doubt that be would exer-
vise n•preper discretion. He believed that nothing short of
Yte proposed measure would meet the exigencies Of the case,
' rand he knew t: at several persons connected with Ireland
considered that it did not 'ero far enough.
Lord BROCCHIAM considered it was degrading to think that
any of their fellow-creatures should be living under such a
delusion as to imagine that they had a right to massacre
their landlords for the exercise of the undoubted and proper
Tights of property. With regard to the amendment of Lord
DENMAN, he would postpone it, and make it part of a more '
general measure. Ile considered the amendment, enabling
magistrates to discharge persons found al:arced at night, if
- to the truth of their account as to the

THE TIMBER DUTIES.

Sir ROBERT PEEL presented a petition from the port of
Sunderland, signed by one hundred and torty-four shipowners,
in favour of the proposed reduction of the timber duties.
The petitioners were not partners in any joint stock com-
pany, but individual shipowners, and stated that the proposed
reduction of the duty on Baltic timber would be of the greatest
importance, as it would enable them to compete with foreign
shipowners in the building of vessels. They not only prayed
tile House to reduce the duty, but to abolish it altogether—
( Hear, hear,)--as they considered that such a step would not
injure the Canadian trade.—( Cheers. )

AMALGAMATION OF RAILWAYS.
Mr. W. PATTEN said he had been directed to make an
inquiry from the Vice-President of the Board of Trade with
respect to the very important question of the amalgamation of
existing railway companies. The railway Committee of which
he was a Member experienced great difficulty in the case of
amalgamation which came before them. He was in-
duced to ask the question which he was about to put to the
Right Honourable Gentleman, not only for the purpose
of enlightening the railway Committees, but also the pubitc at
large ; because it was one which involved circumstances of a
very serious nature. He wished, then, to know whether the
Government ;ntended taking any measure this session with the
view of .settling the different amalgamation Bills now before
Parliament. The Committee had directed him to put the
question before they proceeded any further with the subject.
One of two plans had been submitted for the settlement of the
question; but he thought he might state that the opinion of
the Committees was that a question of such vast importance to
the country would be much more satisfactorily determined

SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY
A TALE

OF THE COURT OF CHARLES 11.
CRITICAL OPINIONS.

" Sir Roger de Corerley is a tale of the most popular class. It is
full of incident, and replete with clever and characterist:c sketches
of historical personage?, including the Merry Monarch and his asso-
ciates—Queen Catherine and her household—the Duchess of Ports-
mouth and her French accompices—Nell Owynne and her play-
acting friends—and all the courtiers, wits, and literatears of the
day."—New Monthly.
" The author of this entertalnirg and lively work has been very
diligent in collecting every anecdote that is characteristi; of the men
and period. No circulating library will be able to dispense with Sir
Roger de Coverley."—Jerrold's Magazine.
" We strongly recommend our readers to peruse this powerful
romance. The story is rife with dramatic Incident, and picturesque
with the moral and personal idiosyncrasies of the numerous cha-
racters."—Court Journal.

"How, during the strange passages in his career, Sir Roger caught
a glimpse of Milton dictating to his daughters—an echo of Evelyn's
calm and peaceful wisdom—and whole earfulls of the gossip of Mr.
Secretary Pepys the author will narrate to the reader, and the latter
can hardly fail to be edified by the history."—Nthenteum.

for action, being shortly afterwards joined by the Loodiani
force. No particulars have reached us ; the battle is sup-z,
posed to have been a severe one, a heavy cannonade havin4
been heard at Simla and Loodianah, as, we believe, also at,
Ferozepore, till three o'clock in the afternoon. It is nrobab/e-
-that the steamer may be detained till the Governor-General's:
express brings tidings to the Presidency; Co that the homa:
reader may, shortly after the arrival of this, know more than:"
we at present do of the matter.
" Since last night mails of the 24th have arrived from Cali:
cutta, of the 25th from Delhi, and the 26th from Madras:!
They bring us no news of any importance, and we infer,'therefore, therefore, that no further particulars had transpired of thin
alleged action on the 21st. The communication along the;
disturbed districts is at present irregular and much inter,'
rupted.]
" The services of the force under Sir Charles Napier, whoso
co-operation seem to form a portion of the Governor-Gene-
ral's plan, will hardly be available before the Ist of March
and considering how soon after this the fierce and tremen--,,,
dons heats set in, it appears more than doubtful whether regular campaign beyond the Sutlej will this season be en-.
tered en. It must be remembered that the country pro",
posed to be invaded, if intended to be annexed to the British
dominions, must be throughout completely subjugated; that,
it comprises an area of 25,000 square miles, traversed by vast
rivers
and mountain ranges reaching the greatest altitudes!
known to trim ; that it contains a fierce and untamed popu-,
lation of nearly 5,000,000 of human beings. Nor must it be'::
forgotten that not One-fourth of the magnificent artillery:o
Runjeet Singh has been captured or disabled; that two-,,
thirds of his army remain undamaged and entire. It seems„
not improbable that this season Lahore may be occupied ands
garrisoned, the communications with Ferozepore--the post
where our troops and magazines must be collected—being
kept up; and that thus will their own capital become the
centre and emanating point of next year's operations. The
war-advocates at home have for years past talked of the con-
quest of the Punjaub as at once easy and desirable—the de-
struction of the Seikh empire the task of a few months.:
The exploit has been forced on us, and we must perform it-
as best we may; we doubt not but in the end we shall do so'
triumphantly; but we must add 30,000 men to our army,
and 10,000,0001. to our debt and this, with an income noti
able of late to meet our expenditure by nearly 2,000,0001.

INDIA.

Sir V. BLAKE begged to—put a question to the Right
Honourable Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government,
the purport of which it was understood was to inquire whether
Ilse Ministry were at a►l likely to bring in a Bill for providing
pensions for those individua►s who lost their employment atter
long service. If not, he should himself bring in a Bill for
giving a pension of 75/. a year to all those who have filled prin-
cipal situations after twenty years' duty.
Sir ROBERT PEEL was really not aware the Hon.
Baronet was going to ask such a question. He had not given
any notice—at least it did sot stand for to-day—(Cries of
" 2' o, no")—er he would have taken care to have provided
himself with the information on the subject. The Hon.
Baronet was quite competent to bring in a Bill if he thought
proper, or if he chose to put a notice on the paper, he would be
prepared to give a reply on a future day.

BO W-STREET.-(TH IS DAY.)

A man, who described himself as a tailor, but refused to
give any account of himself,-was charged with being a sus-
pected person, found loitering about opposite Sir Robert
Peel's residence, it wi.s supposNl for some unlawful purpose.
He was found by a policeman "walking up and down"
in frotit of Sir R. Peel's house, and not being able to explain
what business he had there, ,he was taken ill charge.
The prisoner was charged with a similar offence at this
Court in the course of last week, and was then discharged on
entering into his own recognizances to keep the peace. He
denied that he had any improper motive, and said he was
only walking about for his own amusement. He could not
understand what was the charge against him, as he was not
charged with injuring or obstructing any body.
Mr. JARDINE said that, as the prisoner had been charged
with the sane offence on a previous occasion, he must now
find bail for his good behaviour. He, Mr. Jardine, could not
do as he had done on the previous occasion, let the prisoner
go upon his own recognizances.
The prisoner appeared quite astonished at having to find
bail when "there was no charge against him," and was pro-
ceeding to make a very eloquent oratLn, when his remarks
were cut short by the gaoler, who removed him from the
dock. We believe the necessary bail was obtained.

out of circulation the old coins of one florin and half
florin, after the 25th of December. The same journal
publishes the condition of the loan of one million, being
the fourth series of tke loan of eight millions for
defraying the expenses occasioned by the draining of
the Lake of Ilaerlem, fixed by the royal decree of the
sth of December, 1846. This loan is to be contracted
by virtue of the law of the 22d of March, 1839, with
interest of 4i per cent. There remains a series of one
million of this loan to be negotiated, which will not
take place during the year 1847.
ROTTERDAM, DEC. 14.—1 n consequence of the heavy
fall of snow, the Meuse is covered with frozen snow, so
that several steam-boats are prevented from leaving the
port as usual this morning.
ST. PETERSBURGH, DEC. I.—On the 28th of No-
vember our winter began with a very sharp N. E. wind,
and a heavy fall of snow, with 6 degrees of cold. On
the following day the Neva brought down much ice, so
that the bridge between the city and the islands had to
be taken up. To-day the snow was deep, and the cold
increased to 9 degrees.
BERLIN, DEC. 11.—The police were on the alert last
night, in consequence of the discovery of Communist
movements, and has arrested several mechanics' ap-
prentices in a public-house. It is added, that many of
the better classes, among others, the well-known writers
Behrens, are said to be seriously implicated, and have,
therefore, been taken from their houses during the
night, and lodged in safe custody.
FRANKFORT, DEC. 12.—The report of a conspiracy,
said to have been discovered on the Rhine, appears to
be unfounded. Very urgent warnings have, however,
been sent by diplomatic channels from Paris to several
Courts, announcing that emissaries of the Propaganda
intended to visit the Rhenish provinces and central
Germany.

COLOGNE, DEC. 13.—We learn that ice floated down
yesterday from the Marne, and to-day from the Moselle,
into the Rhine. The latter came down to-day as far as
Andernach. The brifiige here is taken up.
BRESLAU, DEC. 1.-011 r commercial journal pub-
lishes the following official notice:—
" The undersigned deputies of the city and mer-
chants of Breslau consider it is their duty,
on their return from Berlin, to inform the
public, that the highest public authorities have acknow-
ledged the importance of the preservation of free trade,
with the territory of the republic of Cracow, secured by
article 8, of the 3cl of May, 1815, in the fullest extent ;
and that they have received the satisfactory assurance
that the maintenance of this free trade will be the un-
conditional basis of the commercial regulations to be
agreed upon with the Austrian authorities."

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1846.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord GREY, Lord PALMERS-
TON, and several other, Cabinet Ministers, left the
Paddington station of the Great Western Railway at
half-past one o'clock this afternoon, to attend the
Privy Council held by her MAJESTY at Windsor Castle.
The time of the meeting of Parliament will, it is
expected, be fixed at the Council.

The meeting of Parliament will, by the deci•
sion of the Privy Council to be held this after-
noon, be determined on. Enormous duties will
then devolve upon our Legislators ; a vast and
almost unprecedented responsibility will repose
upon the two Houses. In the foregoing session the
facilities afforded to commerce and railway traffic
were wonderfully increased; in the approaching ses
sion those facilities will not so muoh require to be
enhanced as to be assured and perfected. The Par-
liamentary campaign of 1846 was consummated by the
victory of new knowledge over ancient ignorance ; it
was rendered for ever memorable by the subversion of
monopoly, by the conquest of hereditary prejudice,
by the destruction and dispersion of political party.
The Parliamentary campaign of 1847 must be sig-
nalised by circumstances of equal importance to
humanity, if not of equal interest to the yeomen and
landowners of the United Kingdoms. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL will not possess, in the approaching session,
any opportunity for the display of his magnanimity
and disinterestedness comparable with that evinced
in the previous session by his illustrious pre-
decessor; but he will possess inestimable opportuni-
ties for developing the resources of the great empire
committed to his direction ; for preventing the re-
petition of numerous and grievous wrongs ; for
benefiting the physical, moral, mental, and social
condition of the community ; for transforming an
island of destitution and ignorance into a land of
prosperity and knowledge ; for maintaining the in-

Majesty on her return from the Isle of Wight to

bute water and provisions to such distressed merchant
vessels as she may find windbound in the Charintl.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. F. Lapidge,
has been found on examination to be very defective in
her hull, and as her repairs will require docking and
occupy some considerable time, sho has been ordered to
Sheerness for that purpose, all our docks but one being
fully occupied, and that one will be wanted earlier than
her repairs can be completed. She is expected to sail
to-morrow.

The Sinbad lighter sailed this morning for Woolwich
and Deptford.

The %rile steam tender, Mr. Balliston, Second Master
Commanding, was taken into the basin to-day to make
good defects. _ _ _

The Emerald tender returned yesterday from Jersey,
with newly raised men and boys for the service.
The Ilampshire (timber barque) was floated on Wed-
nesday night, and was taken into the Camber yesterday
to have her ballast trimmed, and the vessel put to rights
aft( r her week's immersion.

The Penelope steam frigate, Captain W. Giffard, was
removed fr( m her hulk yesterday, and placed at moor-
ings to try her compasses. The Cyclops took her place
alongside the Blake hulk to refit.
