the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were empowered to
appoint temporary referees, to which such cases might be re-
ferred. The salaries of these officers were to be paid out of
the consolidated fund, and the treasurers of counties were to
contribute to that fund their respective quotas.
Lord COLBORNE objected to the referees being permitted to
practise as surveyors.
After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL, the motion was
agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned.

themselves and the townspeople, and who plume them-
selves upon being sure to escape with impunity, by rea-
son of their high connexions, and the injury any parti-
cular college would receive were the gentlemen of their
importance to retire and patronise some other as yet
less favoured college—were these insurrectionary tyros
to be promptly expelled and finally excluded from par-
ticipating in the advantages (such as they are) of a uni-
♦ersity degree—we should soon have a cessation of
those disgusting practices, and the authorities would free
themselves from a stigma and scandal for which
they are at present so much to blame.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Several Railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered
to b 3 committed.
Mr. GREENE, in moving the recommital of a Bill, took
occasion to complain of the great delay that took place inla
public office in sending in their clauses to Bills, whereby
great expense and inconvenience was occasioned.
Sir GEORGE CLERK believed that such delay did not take
place in the office of the Board of Trade, and would take
care that, in future, the occurrence complained of should be
avoided in all the Government offices.
The Chichester and Bognor Railway Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed, on the motion of Mr.
ESTCOURT, who moved the suspension of the standing

For the simple and candid manner in which, yesterday
evening, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY called the atten-
tion of Government to the helpless condition of the

Irish tenantry, he deserves every possible credit. And,

although we make some allowance for the exaggeration
with which circumstances of peculiar cruelty are usually

Mr. Wu-sox PATTEN called the attention of the House to
the sixth report of the Railways Classification Committee,
and moved an address to her Majesty for the appointment of
a Committee to investigate and report upon the various rail-
way projects of which the termini are proposed to be esta-
blished within, or in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis.
Sir R. PEEL doubted the propriety of the House adopting
the motion upon a mere verbal statement. He should pro-
pose the debate be adjourned to Monday, when he would
state the course her Majesty's Government would propose to
be taken.

coloured in the course of their dissemination, we cannot

but deem the occurrence which the Noble Marquis

adduced as one demanding the strictest scrutiny. Ac-

cording to his Lordship's authority, no less than four
hundred tenants were very recently dispossessed
in the vicinity of Roscommon, and in addi-
tion to this, it was asserted that upwards
of two thousand human beings have suffered
eviction within the last two years upon the same estate.
Philosophers have not unfrequently observed that a deli-
cate and sensitive female can peruse, with scarcely a
shudder, the lists of killed and wounded, dated, together
with the bulletin, upon the battle-field ; whereas, could
each of those mangled bodies be brought under our
actual inspection, could each broken limb be seen, and
each death-groan be heard, the most callous would recoil
from the spectacle with horror. In like manner,
their Lordships might listen with merely a casual or
evanescent pang when the voice of the Most Noble the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY informed them that four hun-
dred of their fellow-countrymen were, by this ruthless
eviction, " plunged into the greatest distress, without the
slightest means of shelter." Could they, however, be-
come cognisant of the privations to which those ousted
labourers are subjected, and behold the total abandon-
ment of so many houseless creatures, we might be
assured of an instant and strenuous effort in behalf
of the sufferers on the part of our legisla-
tive aristocracy. In speaking thus, we are far
from wishing to impute any individual or remark.
able indifference towards misery to the House of
Peers : we are merely reverting to an abstract quality
in the temperament of man ; and we do this for the pur-
pose of enforcing the necessity of interposition on the
Legislature by repetition upon repetition of the general
grievance, so as to compensate in some measure for our
incapacity to present a vivid picture of the details. By

Mr. F. MATILE hoped the Government would follow the
course proposed by the Committee, and address her Majesty
to appoint a Royal Commission.
After some observations from Sir G. GREY, Sir R. INGLIS,
and Mr. LABOUCTIERE,
Sir R. PEEL said that notice should be given this day of
the motion intended to be made by the Government on the
subject, on Monday.
After a short discussion, the debate was adjourned till
Monday.
Lord-EnnmuroN gave notice of his intention on Tuesday
next to move for papers relative to the letting oat paupers to
hire in the Honiton Union.
Mr. P. &nor% gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday, to
move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better protection of
life and property in Ireland, by more effectually pro-
viding for the improvement of the condition of the poor
of that country.
Mr. MACEJNIION gave notice of his intention to move, on
Tuesday next, for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent inter-
ments in large towns.
Sir G. GREY wished to know whether it was the intention
of the Admiralty to institute any inquiry into the less of the
Great Liverpool ?
Mr. CORRY thought it would be an objectionable precedent
to institute any such inquiry, especially after the directors of
the company had instituted an inquiry upon the subject.
Mr. P. M. STEWART, as chairman of the Committee, said
that every care had been taken to prevent accidents, and
that this was the first serious one that had occurred in the
company's service. Three nautical gentlemen connected
with the company had been appointed to inquire into the
subject,
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, in answer to a question from Cap-
tain LAyann, stated that he was not prepared, without fur-
ther inquiry, to make any alterations in the circular which
had been issued, by which officers' servants, and other de-
serving and meritorious soldiers were not allowed to benefit
to the full extent of the new warrant.
The report on the Fever (Ireland) Bill was agreed to,
with certain amendments, the Bill was ordered to be en-
grossed, and read a third time this day.
Mr. ELPHENSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
limit the duration of polls in counties at contested elections
of Members to serve in Parliament.

the mere utterance of a sarcasm upon the fictions con
tamed in Irish newspapers, the Marquis of WESTMEATH
endeavoured to throw discredit upon the statement
regarding the proceedings in Roscommon. This, we
conceive, was scarcely fair. Declarations arc not to be
overthrown by inuendoes, but by counter declarations.
And hence, in the present precarious position of the
multitude in Ireland, the Noble Marquis might, with
more propriety, have suppressed his doubts as to the
authenticity of the rumour until he could have con-
firmed his supposition with facts. A corroboration,
indeed, of these reports as to the continuation
of evictions transpired as recently as Saturday
at an anti-famine meeting, convened in Mel-
low. One of the victims of this cruel
system, a working farmer, addressed the assembly upon
the spread of destitution among his countrymen , stating
that he himself had been dispossessed by a landlord of
Annakissy, although he had duly paid up his rent to the
moment of ejection. And in answer to the inquiry of a
clergyman as to how many had been subjected to similar
treatment upon the same property during the last ten
years, he supposed from fifty to sixty families. It is
folly indeed to question the continuance of this great
social evil among the Irish peasantry. Eviction
is persisted in, and will be persisted in, until Govern-
ment, by some stringent and comprehensive measure,
forces its cessation upon the landed proprietors. At all
times and seasons the sudden dispossession of an Irish
labourer is fraught with wretchedness. Driven from his
cabin during periods of absolute abundance, the colleen
is subjected, ipso facto, to the most bitter penury. How
much more extreme must this penury become at a moment
when the commonest description of human food is almost
entirely beyond the reach of even the most flourishing
of his class. And that this last circumstance is be-
coming more and more apparent, the most indisputable
documents are witness. "It is unnecessary for me,"
says the Mayor of Cork in a letter to Lord HEYTESBURY,
"to go into the numerous and most painful details of
the deep distress of the poor of Cork, and of its
alarming progress : " another account informs us
that typhus fever has been actually traced
to the use of diseased potatoes ; while, as if to afford a
climax to this catalogue of suffering, the Cork Reporter
mentions even the possibility of an outbreak of—
(and the writer hesitates for an instant, in the very em-
plo3 ment of the dread word)—cholera I So malignant
are the cholics produced by eating decayed vegetable mat-
ter. It is from a consideration of these occurrences, and
the prevalence of so many miseries among the population
of Ireland, that every sane individual must acknowledge
that the matter introduced last night by the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY required no apology whatever. We are
only anxious that the substance of the remarks uttered
by the Noble Marquis may not be overlooked by Go-
vernment or by our legislators generally. By remem-
bering this vile system of eviction, the measures adopted
by Parliament for the alleviation of famine and con-
tagious diseases would be conducive to the more lasting
welfare of the peasantry ; and by shielding the te-
nantry from suck arbitrary acts on the part of their
landlords, Ribbonism might be soon numbered among
the bygone, the Whiteboys would be forgotten, and
Coercion Bills would be no longer applicable to the
peaceful inhabitants of Ireland.

Mr. Monnisox then moved, in pursuance to notice, for a
Special Committee to inquire whether, without discouraging
legitimate enterprise, conditions might not be embodied in
railway Acts better fitted than those hitherto inserted in
them, to promote and secure the interests of the public. He
had at first intended to have gone at considerable length into
this subject, but, as he understood his motion was not to be
opposed, he would not now do so.
Mr. MANGLES, though he would not oppose the motion,
thought the French system objectionable, and the Hon.
Member for Inverness had admitted that by the course he
had adopted.
Mr. PARKER thought that many of the railways ought to
be postponed for six, twelve, or eighteen months, in order
that capital might not be locked up in the way it was likely

to be.
Mr. HUDSON denied that any alarm need be entertained
with respect to the amount of money about to be expended
in railways.
Mr. LABOUCHERE thought some check ought to be put
upon the extraordinary powers that railway's were exercising,
otherwise it would be found difficult hereafter to deal with

them.
Sir G. CLERK assented to the proposition of the Hon.
Member for Inverness, and assured him that every facility
would be given by the Government to the fullest inquiry be-
fore the Committee. .

Mr. HAYTER opposed the motion.
After some observations from Lord Enmakkaos and Mr.
AGLIONBY,
Mr. ENTWISLE supported the motion. He believed that
it was the fault of the Legislature that speculation had ex-
isted to the extent it did last year in railways, and he hoped
that the Committee, if appointed, would lay down some rules
by which legislation would be more certain and stringent
than it had hitherto been.
Mr. Humx was glad the Government had agreed to the
Committee, because he was satisfied that great good would
come out of it.
Mr. P. M. STEWART opposed the Committee. He consi-
dered that the course of legislation hitherto had been any-
thing but wise and proper; but he thought such a proposi-
tion as the present ought to have come from the Govern-
ment, and not an iadividual Member. If the Committee was
not constituted in a superior manner, it would do more harm
than good.
Lord WORSLEY thought there would be great advantage
derived from the appointment of the Committee.
After some observations from Sir G. GREY,
Sir R. PEEL, on giving his consent to the Committee,
thought that some early report ought to be made, advising
Parliament as to the course it should pursue with respect to
proposed and future railways.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought, if the Committee was neces-
sary, it should have been proposed by the Governmect.
The CitaxcELLort of the EXCHEQUER supported the Com-
mittee, and would be ready at all times, as far as lay in his
power, to aid their deliberatiors.
After some discussion, in which Mr. F. BARING, Mr.
HORSMAN, and Mr. Wawil took part,
Mr. MORRISON replied, and the motion was agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. HumE, certain reports were ordered
with respect to the receipt and expenditure of the Post-
offices of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay.
The Burghs (Scotland) Bill went through Committee, and
was ordered to be reported on Monday.
The report on the Consolidated Fund (8,009,000/.) Bill was
received, the Bill ordered to be engrossed, and read a third
time to-morrow.
The Mutiny Bill, and the Marine Mutiny Bill, went
through committee.
The Fever (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed,
and the House adjourned.

It was but a few days since that we felt it our
painful duty to offer some commentaries upon the lax
system of guardianship exercised over the minds of the
youth who enter the Universities of Oxford and Cam-
bridge. Those remarks sprung from a consideration of
the recent trial of a doctor of divinity for the crime of
adultery, in which the jury had returned a verdict con-
firmatory of his guilt. Another disgraceful instance has
just been elicited in support of the general observations
e then made, as will be seen by referring to our
assize intelligence of yesterday, which contained a
report of a trial at Vambridge before Mr. Baron
PARKE, developing a fearful scene of riot and bloodshed,
occasioned in that town during this present month, by
what is familiarly known by the expression, " A town
and gown row." The eldest son of Sir JOHN WALsh
preferred an indictment against a policeman for a vio-
lent assault, committed during the excitement of the
scene alluded to. The jury found the charge proved,
and the prosecutor recommended a lenient sentence, as
it was only from a strong sense of public duty that he
had in that instance had recourse to a court of justice.
Nothing could be fairer than the way in which the
Learned Judge put the case to the jury in his summing
up, viz.—whether, the assault being proved, there was
evidence to show that the defendant committed it in
order to quell a riot. Every one knows how great are
the aristocratical influences that prevail in the precincts
of the Universities, and how dependent are the trades-
men and townspeople upon yielding a pliant obedience
to the dogmatical tyranny of the members of the col-
leges, of all grades, and hence we can easily conceive
that there was the greatest difficulty on the part of this
poor and unprotected policeman in producing satisfactory
evidence to show that what he did was necessary to check
the outrageous disturbance created by the disgraceful
conflict, in which he was called upon to act as a conser-
vator of the public peace. The evidence discloses that
the "flower of our youth" had armed themselves with
weapons of a formidable description, amongst which
were pokers, one of which was produced by a police-
constable, who had been felled to the ground by it by
one of the alumni. On the other hand, testimony was
freely given by tutors and other academical gentlemen
to overwhelm the almost friendless policeman in
his attempt to prove that the circumstances of
the case justified him in striving to suppress
the riot. One thing is clear, that so long
as these annual displays of brute force (unpro-
voked as they generally are) find an arena within the
jurisdiction of the Universities, the authorities must be
held highly culpable' and most wanting in the discharge
of one of the first duties they owe to the public. To
such a pitch does this unpardonable spirit of insubordi-
nation seem to have attained, that we find one of the
tutors remonstrating with the police, and urging them
not to interfere with the youthful disturbers of the public
peace, as it was next to useless. Thus, it
would appear, that even with those, from
whose position and years we might look for
better things, a species of prescriptive right is autho-
ritatively recognised for their pupils to sport with the
very lives of their fellow-countrymen whenever they
find themselves in:the humour. We call upon the heads
of the colleges, who assume the province of giving the
hest education to our future clergy, magistrates, and
members of the other liberal professions, to take some
vigorous steps for preventing a repetition of those dis-
orderly and shocking occurrences. It is notorious that
the undergraduates sally forth for the indul-
gence of their pugnacious propensities whenever
it is expected that a town and gown row

In the account we gave yesterday of the funeral of the
Rev. J. T. GUYER, we have another painful instance of
the unfeeling and bigoted prejudice of some of the clergy
of the Established Church, which at once enlists our
warmest sympathies with the deceased, and arouses our
indignation at the conduct of the Rector of Ilinstead.
For twenty-eight years had Mr. GUYER exercised his
ministry in an exemplary and irreproachable manner,
beloved by all who knew him, and shared in the benefits
of his exertions. Simultaneously with the depositing
of his remains in a vault at the foot of that pul-
pit be had so long adorned, were the shops
of the neighbourhood generally closed, and every
outward token of respect paid to his memory. It was
his dying request to be deposited in the ground at Bin-
stead that contained the bodies of his children, and for
what reason was this refus3d by the rector? Simply,
forsooth, because the deceased was a Dissenter, and
worshipped his CREATOR in the manner which in his
conscience he believed to be most proper.

Can the Church of England expect to retain any
hold of the affections of the people if this deplorable
and unchristian conduct is practised and sanctioned
by their functionaries, and what greater stimulus can
be given to the growth of Dissent if this cruel enforce-
ment of legal right is to be made at the expense of every
noble and enlarged sentiment? We rejoice to observe
that a numerous body of members of the Church of
England signed a letter of condolence, upon the above
circumstances, to his bereaved family, and thus marked
their opinion of the outrage that had been offered to
every feeling of humanity. Such a document carries
with it the strongest commentary upon the proceeding,
and we sincerely hope its moral will not be lost upon
the heads of the Church, whose duty it is to take the
initiative, and, by their influence and authority, to save
us for the future from the pain of any similar occur-
rence; or, if they should fail in this, that the circum-
stance will not escape the attention of our Legislature.

The Paris papers of Wednesday have arrived. They
all eulogise the speech of M. TRIERS on the previous day
in support of M. REMUSIT'S motion for the exclusion of
the paid servants of the public from the Chamber of
Deputies, as a masterpiece of eloquence, although the
Journal des Debats and L'Epoque consider M. DUCRA-
TEL'S reply afforded a complete answer to all the reason-
ings of M. Tux Ens. The latter journal says—
" The speech of M. Thiers was animated, brilliant, and
charming. It is his best piece of oratory, but his most de-
testable political production. The speech of M. Duchatel was
measured, wise, and practical. He did as much to secure
the vote of the Chamber as the other did for the gratification
of the galleries. We and many others have often said that
M. Thiers was desirous of again becoming Minister ; but
after having heard his speech of yesterday, we are convinced
he has ne such thought; for when a man treats the Chamber
with disdain and monarchy with levity, it is impossible for
him to b&ieve that he cnn over obtain the support of one, or
the confidence of the other."
All parties seem to agree that by this remaritable
speech M. TRIERS has completely closed. against him-
sels the doors of. office. On this subject the National
says

"We acknowledge that he spoke bold truths. TLis bold-
ness must deprive him of office for a long time to come. He
declared it himself when he uttered these words,--' I
mill
place my vessel on the highest point of the shore, and will
wait until the approaching tide shall set it afloat.' Let him
net labour under an illusion. When the tide rises it will be
in stormy weather, and M. Thiers's vessel is too fragile to
resist the waves of the ocean."

The discussion on M. RESIUSAT'S motion was re-
sumed by the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday. The
proposition was rejected by a majority of 48. The num-
bers being—For the motion, 184 ; against it, 232 ;
Majority for Ministers, 48. There were 416 Deputies
present.
We extract the following from the Courrier Francais :
" An extraordinary courier has passed through France for
England, from Egypt. It is said that he was sent by the
English Charge d'Affaires at Alexandria, with the intel-
ligence that he had just obtained from the Pacha the autho-
risation to carry through Egypt the reinforcements that are
to be sent to India."
These papers contain but little news from Poland.
The latest accounts from Cracow are of the 10th. The
town was then tranquil, but nothing had bee■ determined
by the protecting powers as to the course to be pursued for
the permanent maintenance of tranquillity.
We learn from Posen, the 12th, that after having pro-
claimed martial law, a proclamation was issued declaring
that tranquillity was restored, and that the persons who
had attempted to create an insurrection, and who were in
custody, would receive the punishment decreed for such an
offence.
The Augsburg Gazette says it has learned, from a good
source, that the statement of the Austrians having set a
price upon the heads of nobles delivered up by the peasants,
was utterly unfounded.
The Reform gives the following account of the pro-
gress of the insurrection :
" The movement in Samogitia and in Courland is confirmed.
At Prague,' says the Augsburg Gazette, the Poles who
were studying in that city all disappeared, with the exception
of two.' A letter from Breslau, dated the 10th inst., relates
that during an engagement which took place on the frontiers
of Russia, several soldiers of Polish origin quitted the Russian
ranks and joined the insurgents. The Gazette of Voss con-
tains a letter, dated Kcenigsburg, the 7th inst., which an-
nounces that the Polish insurgents crossed the Prussian
frontier near Ortelsbourg, and captured 700 muskets in that
town. This fact proves that the insurrection was making
progress in Poland."
The National states that the subscriptions received
for the Polish insurgents by the Paris journals, together
with 43 provincial journals, amount to a sum of 88,528 f.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have
been on a very moderate scale. Although the attendance of buyers
to-day was by no means large, the demand for that article was steady
at fully previous quotations. In free foreign Wheat rather more
business was transacted at very full prices, while Corn under lock
was more inquired for. We have a short supply of Barley this week.
The trade was firm at late rates. Superfine White Malt was in-
quired for ; such goes off as it comes to bawl at full prices. The
arrivas of Oats are on the increase, yet the Oat trade ruled steady at
extreme currencies. In Beans, Peas, and Flour, but little was doing.

GROUP IX.

THE GLASGOW HARBOUR. DZINERILL
TERMINUS.
The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Lord Worsley la.
the chair, when the evidence on behalf of this scheme was pro-
ceeded with.

Captain Washington, one of the Royal Tidal Commmissloners,
was called and examined—He had been engaged some time ago hr
making investigations into the state of Glasgow harbour. Last year
a great number of witnesses of the first respectability, merchants.
manufacturers, engineers, and magistrates were examined, and they
all bore out the fact of the great pressure of shipping and the want
of accommodation. He considered •hat even the proposed decks at
Stob cross would not give all the accommodation required. It was
most important that the general traffic and the minerals she uld b.
separated as far as possible. The point selected by the General Ter-
minus Company was decidedly objectionable, as it was opposite to
the steam-boat quay, and if eight or nine tiers of colliers lay there,
as he expected should that scheme be carried out, the large Liver-
pool steamers would not be able to turn in the river. Looking
at the map, and calculating the almost certain increase of
trade down the river, and the extension of the quays,
he considered the Harbour Mineral scheme better than the other
two. He took no exception to the tidal basin except that it was
too small. Still it would do something towards relieving. the pres-
sure of the shipping in the river. Independent of the idea et a rail
wit.% -this place had been pointed out some time ago as a good place
for a dock or tidal basin. It would also have another advantage ; the
vessels would not be liable to suffer from floods and high tides as
they were in the river. Others had confirmed the evidence he gave
in a similar question last year before a Select Comniittee, that it
was highly objectionable to lay down rails along such crowded quays
as those of Glasgow.
In the cross-examination to which the witness was subjected, the
witness reiterated substantially all the points he maintained in his
examination in chief. He most emphatically dissented front any plea
to bring the mineral traffic np the quays to interfere with the general
traffic.

THE MAIL OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL STEAMER.—
The mails saved from the wreck of the Great Liverpool
steam-packet, have arrived this afternoon at the Ge-
neral Post-office. Many of the letters and papers have
been destroyed by the sea-water, and the remaincler are
so damaged and defaced, that it will be impossible to
deliver them before to-morrow.

We regret to hear, by accounts which have come to hand
this morning, that Captain Ai'Leod has destroyed himself at
Coruniaa. It will be recollected that this ill-fated gentle-
man was commanding officer of the Great Liverpool, which
recently had been totally lost. The accident, no doubt, has
preyed upon the mind of this gallant officer, and led to the
fatal result above stated.
There are not any late arrivals in the City from the British
Colonies this morning.
The only bargains in Consols made up to the present
hour were at 953/ % for immediate transfer, and at 961 for
the Account. The premium on Exchequer- bills is on the
decline, a pretty evident proof that cash is getting
scarce. Some sales have been just made of the 1,0001.

fall has occurred from 213 to 211. There were many of the
proprietors of the Stock of the Corporation, who expected
that the dividend would have been increased yesterday at
the meeting. The report inserted in The Sun, yesterday
' afternoon shows that no such determination had been come
to by the Court of Directors.
Not half-a-dozen bargains have been made this morning
in the Foreign Funds. Grenada Stock is quoted at 2134
the Deferred at 41,i ' • Spanish Three per Cents. for the kccount

the Four per Cents. at 94%.
For the Railway Shares and Scrips the demand continues
very slack. The latest prices are annexed.

fied to the Secretary of State for the Home Department 11:s Intent,n
to retire from his judicial office at the cud of the current qu?-r:er.
Mr. Traill, one of the presiding magistrates at the Southwark Police-
court, succeeds Mr. Grove, and will, on Mr. Greve's retirement, dis-
charge the duties at the Greenwich and Woolwich courts in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Jeremy. Mr. Traill will be succeeded at the Southwark
Court by Henry Lockett, Esq., of Raby-place, Bath, and a barrister
on the Chester Circuit, who was called to the bar of Gray's Inn the
22d of November, 1797. Mr. Grove retires partly on account of ill
health, and having, by the :death of his father (late a deputy-lieu-
tenant of the county of Stafford, residing at Lichfield), come into an
ample fortune, which has removed the necessity of his following any
professional occupation. tie is a gentlarean of retired habits, ;tll

and more particularly of the deervlug poor, towards whom his feel-
ings were always alive.
