LONDON, SATURDAY. Al: GUST 15, 1846.

Another instance of the purblind policy of the
protectionists was afforded by last night's proceedings
in the house of Commons. Owing to the •
edgular
circumstance of IBRAHIM PACHA having directed an
examination to be gone into of the provisions of the
recent Corn Bill, with the view of considering its
bearings on the produce of Egypt, a very serious
error was detected. Its effect is, that the duty upon
rye, peas, and beans is regulated by that on barley,
which was never intended, and, consequently, the
duty upon the former is rendered double what it
was meant to be by the new law, and may be actually
higher than it stood under the old. The attention of
the leading merchants in the City having been drawn
to this error, or inconsistency, they immediately took
energetic steps, under the auipices of the LJRn
...\!AYOR, for obtaining the t,..,r!cr,:on, of ?ornament,
be:ore the end of the session, to the reinov.4l of this
unintentional hindrance to the impartation of foreign
rye, peas, and beans. The most eminent firms con-

COPY HOLDS.

The following is a copy of the fifth report of the Copy-
hold Commissioners to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Act 4 and
5 Victcria, c. 35, s. 3:— •

"Copybold Commission, Aug. 3.
" Sir,—We have the honour of presenting to you our fifth
report. The number of enfranchisements have again consi-
derably increased.
" For the details of the business done we beg to refer you
to the list which is appended.
" Some of the transactions included in it are large and im-
portant.
. " Enfranchisements in manors held by ecclesiastics are
steadily increasing, and in those manors there is a fair pros-
pect of copyhold tenures being ultimately extinguished
voluntarily.

"In manors held by laymen the progress is slower. Ter-
mini of railroads, and the increasing population of the towns,
lead to building speculations. Builders find that they can
rarely sell with a copyhold title, and the number of enfran •
chisements from those causes will almost necessarily increase
steadily.
" We believe, however, that it would be a public benefit if
the Legislature were to sanction a compulsory extinction of
some of the copyhold incidents, more especially of heriots.
" have the honour to be, Sir,
"Your faithful and obedient servants,
" W. BLAMIRE.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,
The SPEAKER took the chair at Twelve o'clock.
POOR LAW.

A message from the Poor-law Commissioners, containing the
report oi dried the other day, was brought up.
CORK AND WATERFORD RAILWAY.
Mr. ELIOT YORKE moved, that the report on the Bill
on this line ahould be received. In doing so it was but right
to olserve, that it appeared from a communication which he
had received from one of the parties connected with the line,
that the petition presented the ether day by the Hun. Member
for Finsbury had been rescinded before the Committee through
foul play. He state.' this that the House might, if they
thought proper, take notice of this.—The report was received.
HOUSES OF RtFUGE FOR PRISONERS.

Mr. M. MILNES presented petitiona from Boston and Bever-
ley, praying that the Legislature would take the necessary mea-
sures for establishing houses of refuge for discharged pri-
soners, in order that they might be reclaimed and restored to
society.
MEDICAL REGISTRATION.

Mr. WAKLEY pres:nted several petitions in favour of this
Bill, and amongst others one from 65 of the must respecta-
ble druggists in London, praying that the law for regulating
the sale of spirits might not pass in its present shape, and
stating that the persons Rho had concocted this Bill were
wholly ignorant of their business.

MOIiTALITY OF THE ARMY IN THE COLONIES.
Mr BRIGHT presented a petition, praying the Legislature
to take measures for the prevention of this evil, from St. Luke's
pariah."

Mr. WILSON PATTEN Presented a petition from
Burnley, praying for a remission of sentence in the case of
Frost, Williams, and Jones.
Several petitions of a similar nature, from Stoekdale and
other places, were also presented.
WILLIAM ELLIS.

Several petitions were presented from places in Lancashire
and Yorkshire, praying the House to recommend to her Ma-
jesty the free and unconditional pardon of William Ellis, si ho
was convicted of setting fire to a house, on what the petitioners
believe to have been false and malicious evidence. The peti-
tions were all ordered to be laid on the table.
Mr. O'CONNELL wished to oorrect an error he bad fallen
into in his address yesterday. He had stated that in the case
which he had laid before Mr. Baron Pennefather, he had made
a point in his (Air. O'Connell's) favour. Now he wished to
correct that statement, for he had said directly oppisite. Having
corrected this mis-statement, he would not trouble the House
any further.

IiOUNSLOW AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

Mr. AGLIONBY gave notice that, as by some mistake
the second reading of the above Bill, which stood on the paper
for yesterday, had not be,n moved, he should do so to-morrow.

ADJOURNED DEBATE.

On the order of the day being read,
Mr. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL said the observations he
was about to make should be confined as closely sas possible to
the subject of the debate. lie would not, like the Hon.
Members for Huntingdon and Kilmarnock, and the Noble
Lord the Member for Newark, travel into extraneous matter,
but he would confine himself to the strict merits of the question
before the House. Be should not be aihamed to
say that his opinions had altered very much
upon this question within the last two months.
tie was at one time prepared to adopt a moderate fixed duty,
not as a permanent measure, but as one which would be likely
to endure for a considerable number of years. But he should
confers that his opinions upon this subject had since then un-
dergone a considerable change, particularly during the
period of the last autumn and winter, when the state
of the potato crop in Ireland was such as to
lead to the expectation of a speedy abolition
of all 'duty upon that necessary article of food—he
meant corn of every description. It might seem that his
opinion as an individual would be of little importance upon
this question, but he should say that his attention was first
attracted to it by the threatened famine in Leland in the month
of October last. In that month the disease in the potato
first showed itself. He was speaking now in the hear-
ing of many Honourable Members from 'lreland, and he
felt assured they could not say that he was dealing in
exaggeration, when he stated that it was confidently expected
in Ireland during that month that the ports would have been
thrown open. It was also a most remarkable fact that not one
of the most ultra protection papers said one word upon the
subject ; and it was not until the wise and prudent measure of
the Right Hon. Baronet had been announced that a cry
was raised by those papets, and he should say it was
one of the most strange cries he had ever heard.
Yes, a cry was raised to the effect that the famine was a
party famine, and not a real one, but one tup for the par-
pose of restoring the Noble Lord the Member for London and
his supporters to power ; and to such an extent did it run that
even the high station, character, and moderate views of the
Duke of Leister did not save him, and those who acted with
him, on the Mansion-house Committee, in Dublin, from the
charge of partizanship. These ehargea were made, and the result
had been most disastrous, for many men whom he knew who,

in October, were prepared to enter into personal subscriplions
or to take any other steps which the exigency of the crisis
he could not pass

LONDON, TUESDAY, FE RUARY 24, 1846.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'clock.

After the presentation of petitions,
The Earl of ST. GER3fANS rose and moved the second read-
ing of the Irish Pacification Bill, the necessity for which he
justified by quoting various statistical details from the returns
made by the Irish constabulary, showing the vast increase
in crime which had taken place in Ireland during
the last year, as compared with the year preceding.
The Noble Earl also read sc..,veral letters showing the pro-
gress of " Molly Maguirism," many of the writers of which
stated that if the Government did not interfere, the peasantry
would in self-defence be obliged to join the " Molly
Maguires." It was hopeless to attempt to get a can.
viction unless the witnesses were kept in confinement
in the police barracks until the trial was over.
Several of the cases of homicide were of the most horrible
nature, forming, as the Noble Earl justly observed, "a black
and blood-stained catalogue ;" in no instance had the perpe-
trators of these atrocities been brought to justice, such was
the terror inspired by these "midnight legislators." In one
instance parties had stated that they knew the guilty per-
sons, but dared not give information until they had disposed
of their property and were prepared to quit the country.
Some of the writers stated distinctly that there were parties
of armed men who we ,t about the country committing as-
sassination for hire. The greater portion of these crimes,
among which were 137 homicides, were committed
by bands of armed men belonging to secret associations.
Cif these crimes, only five were committed on the persons of
gentlemen. The sufferers in general_were small farmers or

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Com-
pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual
payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa-
nies. In the event of death the stun insured will be paid, after deduc-
tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the
declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon; or in the event of the party being at that time in
bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age
as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com-
pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits
in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely
adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force,
and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol-
lowing table :

THE INDIAN MAILS.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 15.—The Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Oriental arrived here en the evening
of the 13th instant, with 120 passengers. She was de-
tained four days at Malta by the non-arrival there of
that portion of the Indian mail sent rid France; conse-
quent! it is only the Southampton portion of the mail,
with t dates to the 23d of October, which has arrived
here, and which went on the same night to Cairo and
Suez, there to be put on board the steamer Hindostan
for India. It is expected that the Hindostan will sail
from Suez tomorrow evening, or at the latest on the
morning of the 17th.
The passengers who came by the Hindostan, and have
paid their passage all the way through from India to
Southampton, have been very impatient at the delay
they experienced at Alexandria; some wished to have
their passage-mosey returned, others demanded that
their hotel expenses be paid for them by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's agents, who did not seem in-
clined to meet them in any way.
Those passengers from India who took their berths
only as far as Alexandria were very fortunate, as they
proceeded to Trieste the day after their arrival here by
the Austrian steamer, which sailed on the 11th.
Her Majesty's steamer Ardent arrived here on the
13th inst., to wait for Lieutenant Waghorn's dispatches
from Bombay, which she will convey to Trieste, to make
the third trial of that route.

Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who arrived here from
Constantinople on the Bth inst., proceeded to Cairo in
one of the Viceroy's own steamers, which has been
placed at the disposal of the Prince to convey his Royal
Highness to the upper eQuntry.
It is supposed by the delay in the return of the Ariel
to Alexandri.a, ihat the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany do not intend to run that steamer again to Mar-
seilles, in opposition to Lieutenant Waghorn's trials via
Trieste; and it is, moreover, said that the Ariel is to
take the place of the Iberia in the conveyance of the In-
dian mail between Malta and Alexandria. The weather
has been very stormy here during the last week, and the
French steamer from Marseilles, due on the 11th, is only
just reported in sight.
The Oriental sails this day at noon for Malta and
Southampton, with forty-five passengers and the Cal-
cutta mail of the Bth of October, which has been lying
here since the 10th inst.
