LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1146.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from
Kerry in favour of railways in Ireland. The Noble Mar-
quis suggested that it would be desirable that the Admiralty
should fix upon some station on the Irish coast for a packet
station.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII said that the matter lay with
the Treasury and not with the Admiralty.
The Marquis of CWIUCARDE then moved, pursuant to
notice, the address to her Majesty on the subject of the
report with respect to the New Houses of Parliament.

Viscount CANNING opposed the motion.
The Earl of REDESDALE supported the motion of the Mar-
quis of CLANRICARDE for the address.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought the subject ought
to be adjourned till the report had been printed.
The Duke of WELLINGTON agreed with the Noble Mar-
cull that the subject ought to be adipurned for the present.
After some further discussion the subject was adjourned
till after Easter.
The House then adjourned.

The official dispatches from the Governor-General and the
Cemmander-in-Chief of the army in the Punjaub fully con-
firm the favourable accounts which we published yesterday
of the utter defeat and dispersion of the Seikhs. The victory
was of the most decisive character. After the hard-fought
contest at Sabraon, near Hurreekee, where the Seikh chiefs
put forth their whole strength, and many of them sacrificed
their lives, no attempt was made to rally the scattered forces ;
and as far as can be judged from the reports of their move-
ments, the greater part of them made the best of their way
to places of safety, or to their own districts. It is rarely
that we find, even in the history of Indian wars, such a short
campaign so full of stirring events and so pregnant with
important results. Indeed it seems to be the destiny
of the Indian Government to go on every year
increasing in strength and extending its dominions,
not from any settled design of conquest, or a wish to add one
district more to its territory (with the exception perhaps of
Sinde), but from the force of circumstances, the inevitable
necessity imposed upon them of protecting their allies, se-
curing their frontier, and, we may add also, of rescuing the
oppressed inhabitants from the despotic thraldom of their
native princes. In the interior this has been almost the in-
variable course, and the entire of Hindostan is now quiet,
either as forming a portion of the British dominions, or under
the immediate protection of a people who may be reckoned
in numbers as only one to five hundred of the llindoo and
Slahomedan population. The policy of the Indian Govern-
ment has been for some time not to extend its boundaries.
They put down the Burmese, but left the Government, on
wing proper
security, to manage the affairs of the country
as usual. They treated in like manner the Nepaulese, and
according to the proclamation of the Governor-General, the
Punjaub is still to be left theunsdiewroii dominion of the legiti-
mate successor Of RUNJERT With this we find no
fault, but care must be taken at the
upon,
me time that we have
and that will act
a dynasty that can be depended
cordially, like the Old Lion of Lahore, in
against
invader from the west. England wants not aiding us
All she wants is security for the rest of her de territory.
India, and a free intercourse for merchandise and traffic
along the whole line of the Indus, and its tributary branches.
These important points cannot be lost sight of, s
d
from the pradence, moderation, and thanness, hitherto
displayed by Sir HENRY HARDDIGE, we may anticipate
that he rill establish a barrier against the Afrghana, and all

Invaders from the west, and at the same time not forget the
arts of peace, the encouragement of trade, the security of
merchants, and the full protection of the inhabitants against
such a ruthless banditti as the Seikhs, and corrupt and im-
becile rulers like those which bare succeeded each other in
rapid succession since the death of RUNJEET SINGH. On a
brief review of this campaign and its important results, it is
impossible to withhold the highest praise to the Gcvernor-
General. He evidently was not prepared for conquest when
he set out from Calcutta. His objects were to encourage an
amicable establishment of a stable Government in the Pun-
jaub, and to protect the neighbouring states, under British
dominion. But he was driven from his purpose by the
wanton and unexpected invasion of the Seikh army ; he was
compelled to fight at great disadvantage, and to sacrifice a
part of his scattered army to arrest the progress of these
plundering hordes, that threatened to overrun the interior
of Hindostan. This he did in the most effectual
and gallant manner—he kept them at bay till he
had mustered all the forces within his reach, and
then, by one decisive blow, dashed them to
pieces. He has thus obtained the right of complete con-
trol over the Punjaub, and neither the French nor the
Americans, nor any other nation jealous of England, can
charge him and his army with the crime of aggression. It
would be difficult to point out a system of policy so fair, so
moderate, and successful; and so striking has been its effect,
that even his malignant revilers have been compelled to
admit the fact, and, to save themselves from the scorn of
their countrymen, now praise his deeds in the most fulsome
strains.

It might have been a matter of pure accident, that there
were not a sufficient number of Members present to con-
stitute a House for the Commons last evening. We know
it is usually said that the Government ought to be respon-
sible whenever the SPEAKER is forced to adjourn the House
for want of a competent attendance. Be this as it may, we
are satisfied that the country will regard very discontentedly
such remissness on the part of their representatives.
Is it credible, that with the hundreds who have taken
upon themselves the duty of attending to our national
concerns, not forty Members could be found sufficiently
zealous to repair to their appointed Council Chamber, at a
time when starvation is threatening millions of our country-
men in one direction, and the increase in the crime of mur-
der in another is represented to be so great as to require the
prompt and efficacious concession of extraordinary powers
from the Legislature for its suppression? With the greatest
inflictions pending ever us, and the most painful uncertainty
as to their results, Parliament was convened at a very early
period to deliberate upon what was best to be
done. The Minister acknowledges himself to be
perplexed as to which of two measures priority should
be given, such is the urgency with which either is required.
A direful exposition of the state of society in Ireland is
offered by the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
following up with amplitude, supplied from intervening cir-
cumstances, the kindred statement tendered by his colleague
in the House of Lords : Mr. OVONI4ELL at once challenges,
the night before last, to reply to the Minister, but from the
lateness of the hour, and the length to which his observations
would run, suggests the propriety of an adjournment till the
morrow. The leader of the House readily yields
to this proposition, conditionirg that all other no-
tices for that day should be postponed by the
different Members; and then, when the country would natu-
rally be looking with anxiety for any arguments by Mr.
O'Coissztr, against the Ministerial scheme for the prevention
of assassination in Ireland—an anxiety emanating from the
delight with which any reasonable demonstration would be
hailed, that the suspension of the ordinary privileges of the
Constitution is not necessary to be resorted to ; an anxiety
also, to which is superadded their conviction that the time
to be consumed by the discussion of the Bill sent down
from the Lords is hourly depriving an impo-
verished people from reaping the blessings of cheap
food, and the concomitant benefits involved in the grand
commercial policy of the Government—they are surprised
by the knowledge that of between six and seven hundred
representatives, not more than 31 could be discovered of suffi-
cient patriotism to facilitate, by their presence at four o'clock
in the House of Commons, the progression of these several and
all-absorbing matters of State consideration. This indiffer-
ence too, is aggravated by the recollection that the Wednes-
days have been by special arrangement devoted as an
additional day to the relaxation of the Members, thus re-
ducing the number of actually working days to four in the
week, upon the express understanding that there should be
a greater degree of attention given to the ordinary business
of the House on those days. No doubt some notice will be
taken in Parliament of this dereliction of duty. All we
can say is, that we trust such reprehensible inattention will
not recur during the present session.

Very naturally indeed the agricultural gentlemen, or
rather the would-be leaders of our agricultural population,
have been casting about them for some means of moderating
their supposed downfal by the acceptation of the Corn and
Customs Bill. They will not, or cannot, regard the commercial
change now pending otherwise than as an instrument for
their personal destruction, and the destruction of the whole
agricultural interest. Hence they have been particularly
earnest in their endeavours to discover some feasible scheme
by the adoption of which their fall may in some measure
be broken. This at least is their ostensible object, though we
shrewdly suspect that their sole intention is the temporary
embarrassment of the Government and the negative obstruc-
tion of the Ministerial policy. They vainly expect to tamper
with the operation of free-trade measures by the introduc-
tion of some wily proposition partaking somewhat of that
liberal character. With this view a public meet-
ing of certain agriculturists from the counties of Kent,
Surrey, and Sussex, was held on Monday in Blackfriars,
for the purpose, so intimated the document by which the
meeting had been convened, of facilitating " the total and
immediate repeal of the malt-tax." Everything in connexion
with the assembly was in the most symmetrical keep-
ing. There was Sir CHARLES LAMB, Bart., in the chair;
there was a letter, read by the Secretary, from Earl
STANKurE, applauding the object of the meeting;
there were several significant resolutions proposed and
seconded, condemnatory of that obsolete system of taxation
of which the present impost upon malt was regard^d as a
glaring instance. We are far from wishing to squabble with
the individual motives of those who agitate in this move-
ment ; we are only desirous that nothing detrimental to the
interests of the country at large may be promulgated under
a specious and delusive aspect. Of this nature we consider
the proposed abolition of duty upon malt. We conceive that
by the realisation of such a change the pockets of the multitude
would in no single particular be benefited, while nearly five
millions sterling would be abstracted from the national revenue
—the only good, and undoubtedly it might prove no insignifi-
cant source of advantage,resulting to the body of agricultural
monopolists. In this manner, an amount almost tanta-
mount to the proceeds of the income-tax is derived from the
imposts levied upon malt, by destroying which
the benefit resulting from the former extraordinary
tax would be rendered wholly nugatory. Nor
by this alteration would any decrease in the
price of beer (or at least to any recognisable extent) accrue
as a recompense to the public ; with a greater demand for the
article the price of hops would ascend in proportion, by that
means feeding the purses of the hop-growing protection
party at the expense of the population, and at the expense
of the national revenue. Such are our objections to. the
scheme of repealing the malt-tax, and we conceive those
objections are based upon solid inference and logical
truth. The matter, in short, resolves itself into the simple
question, Shall nearly five millions sterling be withdrawn
from the Government Exchequer, to benefit a mere infini-
tessimal section of the community, without in any manner
relieving the people from a burden ? We conscientiously
think that common sense would agree with ourselves in
giving that inquiry a negative.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 24th ult. The
Tiempo, the only Opposition journal published, nobly main-
tains its character; and, though at the risk of prosecution
and the banishment of the editors, sets NARVAEZ at defiance.
It calls him one of the Tont Thumb Napoleons, who have
inundated Spain, and considers his conduct as a miserable
parody, in whieh irascibleness is mistaken for firmness, force
for arbitrary Government, and audacity for genius. The
same journal announces that the Espectador, the Clamor
Palle°, the Eco del Comercio, and the Universal, would be
prosecuted for having published that the Constitution
was abolished, and that sufficient guarantees did not
exist in the new system to allow them to de-
fend in a suitable manner their privileges. It adds :
" The excitement which prevailed in certain provinces offered
as yet but little cause for alarm. In Galicia, however,
matters had assumed so serious a character that the Govern-
ment had thought fit to remove Don llENnico, as the dis-
contented, and particularly the Progresistas, were endea-
vouring to place him at the head of a movement. An aide-
de-camp of the Minister of Marine left Madrid in a post
carriage on the night of the 22d ult., to convey to the In-
fante orders to set sail immediately for the Spanish Indies."
It appears, from various accounts, that NwavAEz and Queen
CHRISTINA are determined to carry through the TRAPANI
marriage at all risks.
On the 24th the Three per Cents. closed at 3214 for cash,
and 32N for the 28th of April. The Five per Cents. were
not quoted.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the
monthly appointment of Committees on Bills took place,
Both parties collected in great numbers, as several important.
questions, threatened by the Opposition, depended on the
result ; but they were signally defeated, for the Government
had a majority in all the Committees. The trial of 31. BEAU-
VALLON, at Rouen, for killing 31. DIMAKMER in a duel, was
brought to a close en Saturday, by the acquittal of the de-
fendant on the criminal charge, but he was sentenced to pay
20,000 f. (8001.) damages, as a compensation to the mother
and nephew of the deceased. The Journal des Debats
strongly protests against the decree of the Austrian Go-
vernment confiscating the property of Prince and Princess
CZARTORNSKr, and denounces it as an act of vengeance, as
useless as it is unjust.
The victory gained by the Anglo-Indian army over the
Seikhs at Sabraon, on the 10th of February, was known at
Paris on Monday, and appeared to come upon the good
people of that metropolis by surprise. They did not expect
that the warlike Seikhs, so well trained by European officers,
would have been so quickly put clown.
According to letters from Warsaw, the Russian Govern-
ment has adjourned for four years the execution of the mea-
sures decreed against the Jews, and which had caused
Sir Mom Monwioax to proceed to St. Futenburgh.

A letter from Naples, of the 17th, announces the arrival
there of the Empress of Russia.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday afternoon were 4,000
bales, 1,000 being on speculation, and seo for exportation. The
market was very firm, and prices were fully supported. Shares were
more active, and quotations higher, with a prospect of a further ad-
vance.

The glorious Intelligence received from the banks of the Sutlej
yesterday, continues to be the general topic of conversation in the
City, and it need hardly be stated, satisfaction is rendered by a
careful perusal of the full and official details that are now open for
public perusal. As tke military occupation of the I'unjaub is de-
cided upon, until the money demanded for the expenses of the army,
&c., be paid, and a settled and firm Government is established,
it is expected that the army in the Eat must be much further aug-
mented than at the present moment appears to have been contem-
plated. It is, therefore, not improbable that further contracts will
be taken for the transport service beyond those already announced.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals in the City to-day.

The Consol market has been pretty firm this morning at 9634 M

MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

The show of English Wheat samples here this morning (the prin-
cipal portion of which was left over from Monday's market) being
moderately extensive, and the attendance of buyers small, the
demand ruled heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. In
Forelga Wheat, free as well as in bond, so little was doing that the
currencies were almost nominal. The best 3lalting Barley supported
previous rates, but grinding and distilling sorts were a mere; drug.
Malt moved off slowly, yet prices were supported. We had very
few Oats on offer ; however the Oat trade was firm at Monday's ad-
vanced rates. Beans, Peas, and Flour heavy, but not cheaper.

The Court, we understand, is expected to remain at
Buckingham Palace during the Easter recess ; and it is stated in
Court circles that there is no intention on the part of the Sovereign
of delegating the holding of Drawing-roma, during her Majesty's re-
tirement, to her illustrious relatives.
