IRISH PACIFICATION
BILL.

A Bill intituled an Act for the Better Protection of Life,
and to Facilitate the Apprehension and Detection of Per-
sons Guilty of Offences in Ireland.
I. For the more easy apprehension and detection of per-
sons who shall commit or shall attempt to commit murder,
or who shall do grievous bodily harm to any of her Majesty's
subjects, in Ireland, be it enacted by the Queen's most excel-
lent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this
present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of
the same, That if any person or persons shall murder
or feloniously slay any of her Majesty's subjects in
Ireland, or shall shoot at, stab, cut, or wound any of said
subjects or shall by any means whatsoever cause to any of
said subjects any; bodily injury dangerous to We, with intent
in any of the cases aforesaid to commit murder, or to maim
or disable or to do some other grievous bodily harm to any
of said subjects, it shall and may be lawful for the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland, with the advice and assent of her Majesty's
Privy Council in Ireland, to declare by proclamation that- any
county or part of a county in which any of the offences afore-
said shall have been committed, as also such part as he and
they shall think proper of any adjoining county, requires an
additional establishment of police, and thereupon it shall and
may be laivful for the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to appoint
such and so many resident magistrate or magistrates, sub-
inspectors of constabulary, head constables, constables, and
sub-constables as he shall think proper to be stationed and
reside within the district specified in such proclamation, un-
til the Lord Lieutenant shall, by proclamation in that behalf
issued, otherwise direct ; and such additional force of con-
stabulary shall form part of the general constabulary force,
and be in all respects subject to the same rules and discipline
as the residue of the said force.
H. Ard be it enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with the advice of her Majesty's
Privy Council in Ireland, if he and they shall so think
fit, in and by any such proclamation so to be made as
aforesaid, or. by a distinct proclamation, to warn the inhabi-
tants of the district specified in such proclamation to be and
remain within their respective places of abode at all hours
between sunset and sunrise, from and after such day as shall
be named therein for that purpose.
111. And be it enacted, That it shall and may be lawful
for the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, by a new proclamation
to be made by and with the advice of her Majesty's Privy
Council in Ireland, to revoke any proclamation issued in
pursuance of this Act as to the whole or any part of the dis-
trict thereby proclaimed, and thereupon the original procla-
mation mentioned therein shall, upon a day to be specified in
such new proclamation, stand and be 'evoked so far as such
new proclamation shall purport to revoke the same.
IV. And be it enacted, That copies of every proclamation
made under the provisions of this Act shall be posted on or
near to the doors of all places of public' worship within the
district specified in such proclamation, and on or immediately
adjacent to the doors of eaeh police station or barrack within
the same, and at the places (if any) appointed by the grand
jury for posting road notices within the same.
V. And be it enacted, That the production of the Dublin Ga-
zette, containing the publication ofanyproclamation under this
Act, shall be deemed and taken to be and shall be conclusive
evidence in all courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction in Ireland
of all such facts as were or shall be necessary to authorise the
issuing of such proclamation as aforesaid ; and every such
proclamation shall be deemed and taken in all such courts
respectively to all intents and purposes whatsoever, to
have been issued in conformity to the several provisions of
this Act.
VI. And be enacted, That it shall be lawful for the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland to pay such reward or rewards as to
him shall seem fit for the discovery or apprehension of any
person or persons who shall be convicted of any of the
offences aforesaid committed within the district specified in
any such proclamation.
VII. And be it enacted, That it shall be lawful for the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to pay such sums of money as to
him shall seem reasonable and just to the personal repro-
sentative, wife, parent, child, or other relation of any person
who shall be murdered or feloniously slain within any such
proclaimed district, or to any person who within such dis-
trict shall be feloniously maimed or permanently injured, due
regard being had to the rank, degree, situation, and circum-
stances of the person murdered, feloniously killed, maimed, er
permanently injured.
VIII. And be it enacted, That it shall be lawful for the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, by his warrant, to direct to be
advanced and issued out of the produce of the Consolidated
Fund arising in Ireland such sums of money as may be ne-
cessary for, any payment by this Act authorised to be made
as aforesaid, and for the payment of the several salaries, re-
munerations, allowances, and expenses of the resident magis-
trates and constabulary force employed under the provisions
of this Act, and all other costs and charges to be incurred in
the execution of this Act: -
IX. And be it enect.d, That for the purpose of repaying
the sums of money so to be issued out of the Consolidated
Fund as aforesaid, such person or officer as shall for that pur-
pose be appointed by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland shall
from time to time make such rate or rates as may be neces-
my on every occupier within each such proclaimed district,
rateable under an Act passed in the first and second years of
the reign of her Majesty, intituled "An Act for the more
effectual Relief of the destitute Poor in Ireland," or under
any Act or Acts altering or amending the same.
X. And be it enacted, That the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
shall issue orders to the resident magistrate or magistrates,
and to the constabulary force stationed within each such pro-
claimed district respectively, to collect such rates • and such
resident magistrate or magistrates, and such of the said con-
stabulary force as shall -be employed in the collection of
such rites, shall be furnished with a written warrant or order
subscribed by the Chief or Under Secretary for Ireland,
empowering him or them to collect such rate,_ and specify-
ing the amount of money to be levied for the purposes of
this Act on each proclaimed district, and the portion thereof
to be paid by each occupier of rateable hereditaments, and
the person , named in such warrant is hereby required and
authorised .to levy the money therein mentioned according
thereto; and such money shall and may be collected and
levied,- sued for and recovered, by such and the same ways
and means, by distress or otherwise, as any rate made for
the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland may be collected
and levied.
XI. And be it enacted, That every rate made under the
authority of this Act shall be paid to the person authorised
to collect the same, by the person in the actual occupation
of the rateable property at the time of the rate made, and on
his default then by the person subsequently in the occupation
of the rateable property from whom such rate shall be
demanded. •
XII. And be it enacted, That every such rate shall be a
poundage rate made upon an estimate of the net annual
value of the, several hereditaments within the proclaimed dis-
trict as the same shall have been rated under the then last
rate made under the said herein-before 'last-recited Acts for
the relief of the destitute poor, or any of them, and that the
particulars of every such rate hall be entered in a book, and
shall be in the form in which rates are made under the said
Acts, or any of them, or as near thereto as may be ; and
the said book shall be signed by the persons or officers so to
be appointed to make such rate as aforesaid, and shall, after
such signature, be evidence of the truth of every particular
contained therein.
XIII. And be it enacted, That the said rate shall be pay-
able by and be levied from the actual occupiers, and not by
or from the lessor or own 3r, whether the hereditaments in
respect of which such rate shall be payable shall be under the
value of four pounds or not.
XIV. And be it enacted, that the occupier of heredita-
ments rated under the provisions of this Act shall not be
entitled to deduct from the rent which he may be liable to
pay any portion of the rate which he may have paid in
pursuance of this Act.
XV. And be it enacted, that any magistrate, inspector,
sub-inspector, head-constable, constable, or subeconstable
of police, or other peace officer, shall and may cause to
be apprehended and committed, any person who, within
any proclaimed district wherein the inhabitants have
been warned as aforesaid to remain within their places
of abode as aforesaid, and under suspicious circum-
stances, shall be in the fields, streets, highways, or elsewhere
out of his dwelling, home, or place of abode at any time
from one hour after sunset until sunrise, and such person shall
and may be detained in custody until trial; provided always,
that the magistrate by whom any person so apprehended
shall be committed, shall without delay after committal
transmit to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland a true and faith-
ful report of such committal, and the grounds and reasons
thereof, with the examination of the prisoner, and the rea-
sons alleged by him or on his behalf why he should not be
committed, which said magistrate is required to take down
in writing, in order that such person may be detained, dis-
charged, or admitted to bail, as to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland shall seem fit.
XVI. And be it enacted, that any person who shall, within
any district proclaimed under this Act, be found in any field,
street, highway, or other place out of his dwelling-house or
place of abode, at any time from one hour after sunset until

THIRD REPORT OF THE SELECT
COMMITTEE 04,;.`1, AIL StAYS.
. .

The Select Cemmittee, appointed -to consider the mode in which
the House shall deal with railway Bills proposed to be submitted to
the House during the present session, have further considered the
matters referred to them, and agreed to the following report:—
The number of petitions for railway Bills, which have been pre-
sented this session, have been stated to year Committee to amount
to 562 ; v,z.:
For Railways in England and Wales .
Scotand .. • • • .
Ireland .• • • • . • •
As, however, many of these schemes may fail from non-compl:ance
with the standing orders, the number of Bills presented to Parlia-
ment may possibly fall considerably short of this amount, and your
Committee are of opinion that it will not be necessary or expedient
in the present session of Parliament to refer mere projects to Com-
mittee, as was done, owing to peculiar circumstances, in the last
session.
From a statement prepared by the officers of the Board of Trade,
it would appear that if the same principle of grouping which was
adopted last year should be followed In the present session, the rail-
way schemes in England and Wales might be formed into 51 groups,
and those for Scotland into 10 ; about 61 Select Committees would
therefore be required.
As the House has already ordered that all Irish railway Bills and
a certain limited class of English Bills (the latter of which are in-
cluded in the foregoing statement) should commence in the House of
Lords, it ig impossible to say how many of these may be sent down
to the House of Commons. The number of- groups into which rail-
way schemes for the United Kingdom were divided last year was 52,
but owing to various circumstances only 45 Committees appear to
have actually sat.
The necessity of considering so great a number of railway Bills, in
addition to other private Bills, may certainly be expected to produce
an unusual and inconvenient pressure upon the time of Members of
the House ; but your Committee trust, that as Committees on rail-
way Bills may in this session begin to sit at an earlier period than in
the last, it will not be founl impracticable to constitute the requisite
number of Committees during the progress of the session.
Under these circumstances your Committee have not ',deemed it
advisable to recommend to the House to make any selection from,
I or to place any limitation to the number of railway schemes to be
submitted to the consideration of Parliament during the present
session.
As your Committee, however, believe that much of the time of the
Select Committees on Railway Bills is consumed, with little public
benefit, in minute and detailed inquiries into the amount of traffic
and the probable profit to the projectors, your Committee are of
opinion that the standing orders on these points should be altered, and
that it should RO longer be obligatory on Committees on Railway Bills
to make special reports on them.
At the same time your Committee have no wish to fetter the dis-
cretion of the Select Committees to make such inquiries as they may
judge proper with regard to population, and to the extent of accom-
modation that would be afforded to the public, where they consider
such information to be required.
Your Committee beg further to suggest, that power be given to
Select Committees to refer the consideration of any unopposed Rail-
way Bill included in the group referred to them to the Chairmen of
Ways and Means and the Members ordered to prepare and bring in
the Bill, to be dealt with as other unopposed Bills

MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS.
CITY, MONDAY EVANING.
t TIMES.—The pressure for money has much increased in the City,
and it falls in a great measure upon those who are least able to bear
up against it—the second class of credits. Bills, as good as any that
could be presented, which would he taken in ordinary times in pre-
ference to all others, have either been refused discount, or have had
unreasonably hard terms imposed updn them. This is a state of
things which cannot long exist without injury, and the first hint of a
remedy is naturally to be looked for from those who most suffer by
it. An extension of the purchases for investment on the account
of the railway deposits, or such promptness of decision by the
Committees of Parliament as would bring out the funds de-
posited into circulation again, either by employment or by re-distribu-

to a much greater extent were they; not restrained by their liabi-
lity at the shortest notice to have any amount of the railway deposits
withdrawn; and any plan, therefore, far suspending that liability
would produce almost immediate relief. Many of the managers of
railway companies, rather than make purchases of Stock and
Exchequer-bills in the market under the disadvantages
lately experienced, have advised letting their deposits re-
main untouched, arguing that if by this course they can make no
profit, they will be effectually protected against loss. Now, it has
been suggested that if the Bank, departing, under this very peculiar
state of things, from their usual practice, would allow only a small
rate of interest upon the railway deposits, the employment of them
for a fixed period would be most readily and thankfully placed at
their disposal. There has occurred a kind of precedent for this
in the transactions with the East India Company' a few years
back, which had accumulated a large sum from the sales of
their stock and goods, and other property ; and the Bank,
rather than leave this to an irregular and uncertain
action oh the Money-market, consented to allow interest
upon it. There was much less necessity for it then than there is
at the present moment, and the suggestion Is thought altogether so
likely to have a beneficial effect, that hopes are expressed that the
directors will entertain it. The supposed rate which ought under
these circumstances to be allowed, is fixed at two per cent. ; and Rs
this, with the high current rate of money, will make it a very pro-
fitable banking operation, it will most probably be submitted to the
consideration of the board at their next meeting ; and if no rules of
the Accountant-General's officeitand in the way, it is: believed to
have a fair chance of adoption. Certainly ne objections to it are to
be looked for on the part of the railway companies, who would, on
the contrary, most of them eagerly accede to such a proposal, and
grant a very.liberal limit as to time.

CITY, MEM/a EVENIXG.
It has ben intimated this morning that the suggestion of a payment
of interest on railway deposits by the Bank, for the immediate pur-
pose of obviating the present great pressure for money, is one that
the directors will not give the slightest countenance to. That the
board should object to pay for the use of the deposits so long as they
have any prospect of attaining the same end gratis, is so natural and
reasonable, that nothing can be said agßiiiSt it ; hut it is obvious
that if these large sums continue to be thus locked up, so that they
can't be used, so much Inconvenience and mischief vrill arise as to
force something of the kind upon them. Those who argue in favour
of this course are not at a loss for parallel cases, even though that of
the East India Company, adverted to yesterday, is put aside. The
locking up of these funds is just the same thing as though the Govern-
ment had raised a loan 10 the same extent, and kept it undisturbed in
the Bank. Something of this sort occurred in the time of the ►'est
India Loan, In principle at least, though not reaching to near the
same amount ; but all capitalists and dealers in money rill recollect
what urgent applications were made to Mr. Spring Tice to let It out
again, when an arrangement was made by which the Bank allowed
interest to the Government, but took In the scrip at a turn of a quar-
ter per cent., by which, at that time, very large profits were
roalised, and the Treasury w. 49 taxed with improvidence and waste of
the public money for having allowed it ; and yet that was defended
on the plea that the circulation must be relieved, or worse conse-
quences ensue, The present state of monetary affairs has no parallel
with anything that ever existed be:ore, since banking and paper cir-
culation commenced ; and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
does not see this, and interpose with some recommendation which
he alone can originate, is a subject of general surprise. in the
City. Substantially, and apart from railway speculations, trading
credits were never in a sounder condition, and yet hundreds must
break down and .be rained for want of that accommodation
which no banker will now give, and which has formed for years past
the ruling principle of his business. There can be ne greater crai•lty
than in the destruction of this useful and valuable class of men be.
cause the great bulk of the community have gone mad in railway
speculations, and all the funds they could scrape together are placed
in close keeping, while some point of etiquette is adjusting between
the Accountant-General, the railway managers; the Treasury, and
the Bank of England as to the manner in which they can be made
useful in the ordinary way to the service of trade. All parties seem
to be rigidly bent on not mating any move at present, and this in.
difference is regarded by many as the forerunner of a crisis, to meet
whizh all remedy may be too late. As it is now the fashion for great
authorities to change their opinion under a change of circumstances,
the case is not, perhaps, yet quite hopeless.
The premium on gold at Paris is 12% per mile, which at the
English Stint price of 3/. 17s. logd. per ounce. for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is 0.74 per cent. dearer in
London than i❑ Paris.

By advices from liamhurgh the price of gold is 43:ig per inark,
which, at the English Mint price of W. 17s. 10340. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10!i ; and the exchange at
Ilanihnrgh en London at short being 13 LI, It follows that gold is
0.79 per cent. dearer In London than at Munburgh.

CHANCERV._(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day
Lordship was occupied the whole morning- with the part-heard pat.
lion in the matter of Mitten.
VICE-CHAHIS DAY.
The Vico-Chancellor of England took causes to-day, none of whioti
possessed any particulars of interest.

Tl;e course of exchange at New York on LondOn is 10iiN per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and ;America being 109
22 40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against
England. But the quoted exchange at New York Wing for bills at
60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above differ-
ence.

TIM LATE TRAGEDY IN CAMBERWELL. The lad

been sewn tip by Mr. Pratt, surgeon, presented all the appearances of

of the lad's recovery. Mrs. Iloreau, as may be expected, is in a
very precarious state. She stated that her husband had frequently
told her that he was in expectation of receiving some money shortly,
but from whom he did not mention. During the last eight or nine

porters had been employed before dinner,

that some of them must have been smoking andleft '
a pipe behind

•ascended through the four upper stories, threatening all the ware-
houses on gath side, and opposite. In the rear them was nothing
but warehouses ; these were in no danger. The fire police. with se-
veral powerful engines, under the command of Mr. Dowling and Mr.
Hewitt, were promptly on the spot, but were compelled to direct
their whole efforts to prevent the fire from extending. Fortunately,
the warehouse itself, as well as those on oath side, were what are
called fire-proof, that Is between each building arose a wall three feet
above the roof, and 11th most effectually protected the adjoining
roofs, and enabled the firemen to play, under their directions, on the
flames. In less than twenty minutes the warehouse was completely
gutted. It was the property of Mr. liarbord,-and was filled with
