J 3 tolo of Lablache. Actors and audience were alike con-
Basilio, and he made Ilasilio, which has hitherto been re-
garded as a part scarcely worth v. atice, quite an important
character in the opera. His manner of giving the celebrated
"La Calumnia" was admirable. After I/ Barbiere we had a
scene from Linda, with Castellan and the young contralto,
Brambilla, which was very beautifully given. In the ballet de-
partment we had a pas de deux by Louise Taglioiiiand Perrot,
and "La Catania" with Lucille Grahn. The audience, as
Thursday's audiences always are, were hearty and -enthusi-
astic in their applause. The house 7ras crowded an every part.

stance at improving prices. Clumsy was backed at 400 to 10
in the early part of the day, and towards the close at 1,000
to 35. Corranna was friendless. A good deal of money was
hedged about Tom Tullock for the Derby, at 5 to 1 and
9 to 2 ; and at one time he appeared to be an equal favourite
with Sting; subsequent offers, however, gave the latter the
call. Spithead and Tibthorpe were in some request, and
several scores and small sums were laid out on the out-
siders at the odds returned. Brocardo went back to 25 to 1,
and left off, like railway scrip, with a " downward tendency."

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Feint.) •
FREDERICK FOX COOPER'S INSOLVENCY.
This insolvent was described as a dramatic author and
shorthand writer. He had been connected with various
minor theatres, both town and provincial, and to the failure
of these speculations were attributed his present embarrass-
ments. His debts amounted to 1,6251., and his assets (good
and doubtful) to 7831.
Mr. Sturgeon supported the insolvent, who was opposed by
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Cox, solicitors.
The ground of objection was that the insolvent had ap-
plied fur relief and had been dismissed, it being proved to the
satisfaction of the Court that he was a trader.
Mr. Commissioner FANE refused to entertain the insol-
vent's application, at the same time commenting with some
severityon creditors being harassed in this manner 1:7 debtors.

THE WEATHER-HARVEST PROSPECTS.

DUBLIN, APRIL 22.—The continued unfavourable state of
the weather for spring sewing gives rise to the most painful
apprehensions for the next harvest. We called attention to
this subject some weeks since; but there was a brief interval
of dry weather, which for the time dispelled alarm. How-
ever, it has again become cold and wet, and the ground is so
saturated that spring sowing cannot safely be proceeded
with. Generally, about the 17th of March this most impor-
tant agricultural business is nearly completed. Now, on the
22d of April, half the spring sowing is not gone through.
If the weather should not speedily change for the better,
people will become more alarmed for the next harvest than

DISTRESS OF THE PEOPLE.
The accounts received this morning present a most de-
plorable picture of utter destitution. There are further re-
ports of the spread of typhus fever. Several landlords are
most actively co-operating in providing against famine, and
amongst this class we are happy to observe the name of Lord
Rosse ; but there are many extensive proprietors who have
not contributed a single shilling.
Lord Cloncurry has subscribed 50/. to the Marro' ant
Abingdon Relief Fund. The Earl of Clare has subscribed
501. to the Poor Relief Fund in Limerick.—Limerick Re-
porter.
SPREAD OF FEVER.—BALLTNIIRE.—This town has been
visited with typhus fever within the last few weeks; not
less than twenty families having suffered under the malady
which comprised about a fifth part of the inhabitants of the
place. The visitation appears to fall on all classes alike.
Four deaths have occurred since thellisease commenced here,
and the symptoms are still sufficiently alarming —Banner •f

NEWRY.—On Saturday last a meeting was held in the
Court House, for the purpose of appointing a relief committee
for the town and neighbourhood of Newry.

would be utterly impossible for these Bills to have
the chance of succeedtng. One Company alone, I am told,
can muster as many asieighty votes. It might be that there
were man: railway proprietors who were Members of
Parlia-
ment also ; but he hoped that they would magnanimouslyforget

give
the ablermea hands

his own. He would willingly give the measure his sup-
port, and he trusted they would meet with no opposition on
the part of the Legislature. The Bill of last session, to which
he had referred, bad received the sanction ot the legal authori-
ties in that House, but he understood that the legal authorities
in the lower House had met it with some objections. He
would give his cordiA support to the measures.
Lord BROUGHAM said that he entirely agreed with '
the Noble Lords who had .already spoken upon this
measure. He (Lord Brougham) was one of those who
attended in Committee upon this subject, and, he
could only say, that every attention bad been given to
the preparation of these Bills ; and he was therefore sorry to
hear that they were likely to be objected to in the other House.
He considered that if a aright alteration could obviate these ob-
jections, they ought introduce them. As regarded com-
pensation for the loss of life, the law of England
was an exception to the law of every other country.
The law on the subject had zreen, that life was so valuable that
no compensation could be given for it. However logical that
might be, he could not give his assent to it. He thought it was
high tame that this opprobrium to their law should be removed,
and he thanked the Noble and Learned Lord for taking the
matter up, and introducing the measure.
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, to
the effect that they should make themselves satisfied o the
grounds on which objections to these Bills had been taken. so
that, on technical grounds, there might be no pretext here-
after for rej.cting them, the Bills were put and severally read
a second time.
LOAN TO TETE IRISH PEOPLE.
The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE presented a petition
from a place in Irelann, the name of which did not transpire.
in the prayer of which he could not agree, though it was
couched in respectful terms. It concluded with asking Parlia
ment 'or an immediate loan of three millions sterling, with an
annual roan, for the construction of public works in Ireland.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
The Earl of ELDON presented several petitions against
the Charitable Trusts Bill. The petitions were from the
'tasters of Trinity House in Hull, the masters and wardens
of the Paper Stainer's Corporation of the City of London, from
Middlewieh, in Cheshire, and the rectors and churchwardens
of St. Mary's, Whitechapel, in the county of Middlesex.
THE NEW HOr SES OF PARLIAMENT.
The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE said that he was not
about to move that report of the Select Committee on the
rebuilding of the new Houses of Parlia:vent should be taken
into consideration, in consequence of the opinion which their
Lordships had expressed on the last occasion the subject was
introduced, that it would be better that the matter should be
left in the bands of her Majesty's Government. ..He would,
therefore, beg to move that the order of the day .hhould be
discharged. But he would beg leave, before he would do so,
to hear his Noble Friend the Commissioner of Woods and
Forests make some statement on the subject. As yet he had
made none, and he very much feared that their
Lordships interests were not properly takeh care
of. If he was not deceived, Mr. Barry, in an-
swer to a question put to him, said that their Lorships
had not any foundation, from the evidence given at- the Com-
mittee, for the supposition that they would have their House
ready for their reception by the commencement of next ses-
sion. Now, he begged to say there was not one Noble Lord on
that Committee who was; not led to believe that such would be
the fact. That it would not only be most possible, but
most easy to effect it.—( Hear, hear.) And when they looked
to other countries anal saw the works which were daily carried
on of a much greater magnitude, they sh uld conclude that their
interests were not taken care of, especially when they became
aware that the House of Commons had ordered the preparation
ot fifteen or twenty rooms for the immediate reception of t heir
Committees. This might, he had no doubt, be most con-
venient for the dispatch of public business; but he did say
that it did afford a very strong ground of suspicion
that their Lordships' interests had not been attended
to. Great inconvenience arose to the law Lords,
who were so good as to sit many hours in the day in that
House for the purpose of the dispatch of public business
He wished, therefore, to know whether there was any obstacle
at present in existence to prevent the elder and more impor-
tant Member of the Houses of the Legislature from obtaining
the same accommodation. He wished to learn from his noble
relative what was the present condition of the buildings
at the present moment, what prospect there was
of the Houses being weedily finished, and especially
what likelihood there was of their I ordships getting into
their own Chamber at the beginning of next session?
He did hope that during the ensuing months none of those
paltry squabbles, which he had enderstood to have impeded
the works of late, would be suffered to inter-
fere with their future progress, for he deemed them
to be altogether unworthy of parties SO specifically
under the direction of her Majesty's Government, If such
-quibbles and disputes were not suffered to exist, not only
would there not be any intermission of the works, but they
would be so rapidly advanced as to enable their Lordships to
take possession of their new House at the beginnirnegoyoftonehttist
year. W
Viscount CANNING, Witte answering the question of his
Noble Relative on its *rain grounds, would beg to
remarks with respect to the House of COMmons. On the Ist
of the present Month the Speaker had sent notice that
a considetahle at to the number of committee-
rooms would be wanted on the inith ifiStant, and at the
inducement of the Speaker lathi Bergrkr.t.at.Arrns, an ehdea-
your was made to Bemire two or three houses in Palieesyard,
but they were ultimately fcend to be quite insufficient
for the purpose. He then spoke to Mr. Barry,
by whom It was agreed, that the vommittee. rooms
in Ors hew Houses might he made ready by that time.
With respect to the accuhimedition of their Lordships, there
were in the new Houses nineteen cositinsittte room,, which
were precisely in the same tendition as the committee
rooms of the Commons at the time Mr. Barry un-
dertook their preparation, and lOS believed that if it
were needed, they could be got ready with equal expedition.
If their Lordships should require further actiotitaihdatinn, he
had taken care to guard *onset that by desiring Mr. Baring
to open a further iiCtOtt to their rooms en the river front to
which their Lordships would have exclusive atices?. IN was
sorry to tal he could not aos*Or Witte other parts of the
Noble Lords' queetltih, particularly with regard to the time at
which their Lordships' House *as likely to be finished. He
regretted to say that they *ete hht in such a state of forward-
nets that had been expected. But with regard to the squab-
WS alluded to by his Noble Friend, as having taken place be-
tween Dr. Reid and Mr, Barry, he begged to say that it was
much to be re/retted that the differences that had arisen between
these twogent emen, Were of a much ttiore serious character than
mete squabbles. it appeared to him, from the report that had
been kid upon their Lordships' table, that those differences
were of so momentous a character, that unless a Government
investigation were to take place, that the country would
be put to an enormous additional expense, and ultimately
the delay would be much greater. He believed it had never
been clearly shown that the system of ventilation adopted by
Dr. Reid was such as would suit the House of Parliment, or
was, in fact, at all feasible, although the apparatus ii
required. extended ever eight or nine acres et
land.—(Hear.) Would their Lordships then peril the
safety of the new Houses by any hasty step ?
He had considered that the best course which could be followed
would be to select three gentlemen whose eminent positions and
professional and scientific acquirements would ensure a souud
opinion heing_given, and would enable Government to act with
confidence. The three gentlemen selected with that view were
to follow the instructions given to them, and they had been
reqUested to consider how far practicable, and if practicable,
how far it would be advisable to apply Dr. Reid's system of
ventilation to the New Houses of Parliament, and to all the
subordinated offices. Also whether the application of the
system should be restricted to the New Houses of Parliament
generally, or to a more limited portion, and whether it would be

FOREIGN.—The market has presented a firmer appearance
for yellow and brown Havannah this week, a fair business
has been transacted privately, and the rates paid exhibit a
small advance on those previously current. Holders of
Brazil have refused to further reduce their prices, and refrain
from offering any at auction this week. White has been
purchased with caution; brown is. however, wanted, and the
parcels sold privately were upon former terms: there is a less
quantity of all descriptions on offer. All kinds of Foreign
are cheaper than they were last year, white sorts in parti-
cular, and the stock is still less.
TEA.—There has been a much better dem ind for Congou
of all descriptions this week, but at present an advance has
taken place m prices. In Pouchong there has been rather
more business transacted, and holders evince more firmness.

Cop-Jul—This afternoon 253 bales, and 26-i bales Mocha
Cotree,‘,were submitted to public competition, the trade
evinced little desire to operate, and the sound was nearly all
taken in Ott moderate.prices.
RICE.—More strict attention has been paid to Bengal Rice
since our last publication, and white descriptions have brought
prices rather above those that previously existed.
SPIRITS.—There has been an extensive business trans-
acted in Calcutta Rum this week, and an advance on former
rates of Id to 2d per gallon has taken place. Demerara has
been in good demand, and stiffer rates are given. There has
been a wrong desire evinced to purchase Jamaica, and a
further advance in the value has taken place, but the supply
at market is far from ample for the demand. For Leeward
Island prices are still on the advance, and business has been
checked by the scanty supply at market. Although Brandy
is offered upon further reduced terms, still exporters and the
home trade have operated with much caution.
IsinGo.—Up to this day 11,670 cheats have passed the
hammer, of which the proprietors have withdrawn 3,93 Z and
bought in 1,453, leaving 6,2%16 actually sold. The attendance
of foreign and home buyers were exceedingly small, and the
sale, during the first four days, was very languid, and prices
very uneven.

AIESSAOE FROM THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the House of Commons brought up several
Hills, which were laid on the table.
CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT,

Mr. AGLION BY understood the lion. Member to object
to the clause iii the Hill, and did not believe that the Hon. Ba-
ronet the Member for Oiford intended to say that he admitted
there was any ground for the charge of bribers. Every Mem-
ber present had A, titohirstotta hltit, ft
Lie thought there was no
tnea. of getting rid, of the dal ulty, eteept by means of costs.
Lord J. MANNERS would be glad to know what the real
intentions of the trainer§ of the Act wete, and thought i clause
ineauimusly worth d ought to undergo some revision.
The AT 1 ORN EY- GENERAL said they had fallen
into a most irregular diteussion, for the House
had hothing whatever to do with the question before
them. It was for the Committee down stairs to de-
cide whether the notice was valid or not, at sthether the
notice Was so framed as to be an evasion of the Act of Parlia-
ment. The Act itself put a cheek upon improper objections
by rtivilit the etteithitted podgier to award Costs, and that was
the only passib!e means by which the Legislature could guard
againit improper and frivolous objections.
Mr. P. BORTH WI CK was Wad to find that his Hon. and
Learned Friend had now so much confidence its the law of
Election Committees, and trusted that this increased confidence
arose out of ref4ms which had taken place since a memorable
instance in which his Hen. and Learned Friend and himself
were ergaged...(Hear and laughter.) Both of them had
good reason to recollect that instance, and if he
remembered rightly the case was precisely similar
to that of his Honourable Friend the Member
for Bridport. He remembered that there was a great number
of objections, many of which turned out to be of so frivolous
and trivial a character that the Committee declined to entertain
them. He thought lion. Members should, fur their own pro-
tection, see that the law was properly amended so as to prevent
the recurrence of such cases as these. The Hon. Member for
Bridport deserved the thanks of the House for calling atten-
tion to this subject.
The question that the Committee should meet at eleven
o'clock to-morrow was then pet and agreed to.
Mr. O'CONNELL, who spoke in a tone so low as not to be
heard in the gallery, was understood to move for certain returns
connected with the present state of Ireland.
Captain LAYARD moved for a return showing the number
of men who had volunteered to regiments in India from the
last five regiments that bad been ordered home from that
country. The Hon. and Gallant Mensber also moved that
the petition from Chelsea Pensioners, complaining of deduction
of Five per Cent. (presented April 21), be printed.

Those officers were employed in the service of the Government
at_ the time they lest their lives in Bokara, and therefore he
( k‘fr. Cochrane) would be of opinion, he was sure that it would
oniy be an act of justice towards the families of those officers to
give some tribute of respect to them. He was not aware
whether Colonel Stoddart had surviving relatives, but he was
sure that Captain Conolly had, and he (Mr. Cochrane) hoped
that some provision would be made for them.
Sir R. PEEL said that the only sum which was left dis-
posable in the hands of the crown, as rewards for public services,
was 1,2001. per annum, that 1501. per annum had been allowed
to the two surviving sisters of Colonel Stoddart, and he was
not aware that there were any surviving relatives of Captain
Co°llY if there were, he was sure that that very eminent
and wealthy body
would, in accordance with their accumstomed
liberality, act with what they considered due with regard to
their servants.—(Hear, hear.) He regretted very much
that there was not a larger sum left for this purpose in the
hands of her alajesty's_Government.:7(year, hear.)

RELIGIOUS DISABILITIES ACT.

repeal of religious di•abilities.

'I'HE RAILWAY BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Lord DAL H OUS I E, in rising to introduce the Bill of which he
had given notice on the last evening of their Lordships' sitting,
together with the sessional ordet, would detain them but a
very short time in opening up the provisions of
the Bill, and stating the grounds on which he
would ask their Lordships to sanction it. On the
evening on which they had adjourned for the recess he had
taken the liberty of stating to their Lordship what was the
subject to which he wished to direet their attention, and to the
complaints which had been made by individuals connected with
railways, setting forth the evils complained of, and the pro-
position which he intended to make with a view of remedying
them. He had endeavoured then to trace the pro-
gress of the rise in speculation on railway undertakings for
the preceding year, but now he would take their Lordships a
little further back. He had stated then, that in the last year
• not less than from 1,200 to 1,300 railways had been provision-
ally registered as joint-stock companies, and out of this number
there had been deposited with the Board of Trade, on the 30th
November, 800 plans, which on the very last slay had only
diminished to 7* 0. He (Lord Dalhousie) had, at the
commencement of the session, thought it his duty
to direct their Lordships attention to the subject, and since
that time the expectation of the public with respect to rail-
ways had entirely changed. It was expected at that time, in
the first place, the test of the deposits would greatly reduce the
number of Bills which stood for the consideration of l'arlia-
rnent, but nevertheless a sum within a fraction of 15,000,000/.
was deposited with the Accountant-General. It was
also thought that in consequence of the extraordinary
rapidity with which these schemes were get up that the stand-
ing orders would considerably diminish them, but that Cons-
mittee had oily breathed light as a zephyr upon them, and the
number reduced was therefore only twenty. It was now dis-
covered that in consequence of the application of the enormous
amount of capital to ether branches of commerce, an uni-
versal coin plsint was poured in from every part of
the country, and these complaints were not merely
confined to those engaged in the ordinary commercial pursuits
of the country, but extended to the very pertiTt.s:ohu`,dwneroet

index of the barometer receded until it got down to zero. He
had stated on a former evening that it was often replied to
those
who thus complained, that they should dissolve their com-
panies; but this they were unable to do, because they had not
yet been constituted joint-stock companies, and unless
those who held scrip were to give an unanimous consent the
scheme must go on to completion. Their Lordships would
see, that in consequence of the difficulty of getting this unani-
mous consent in a company composed of such vast numbers,
Parliament was necessarily obliged to interfere. The Bill
which he now held in his hand, and which he would have the
honour of submittiag to their Lordship', had for it, object the
applying a remedy for this evil by giving power
certain number of the shareholders to dissolve
ttoheira projects. V. ith their Lordships' permission he would
now proceed to state the main provisions of the Bill.
On the requisition being presented to the chairman of a com-
pany, and the meeting called in pursuance of the provisions of
the present Bill, then the question to dissolution shall be put,
and the business of the meeting confined to that alone. It is
provided before the meeting takes place that due an-
nouncement of it shall be made in the newspapers and in
the London Gazette, so as to give notice to all par-
ties interested. Regulations are provided for the appoint-
ment of chairman and the regulation of the business;
but before the vote is taken scrutineers shall see that the vote
is properly taken. The actual holders of stock, whether the
original allotteete or the parties who have purchased the scrip,

Lord BROUGHAM wished to preent a petition to their
Lordships which referred to the case of Wm. Burton Newen-
ham. A petition had been presented to that House which,
Upon the suggestion of his Noble and Learned Friend upon the
Woolsaek, was set aside ori the account of informality. It was cen-
sequeotly withdrawn, and an amended petition had been framed,
which uron being submitted to his Noble and Learned Friend
had met with his approval, and he now begged to submit it
to theirLordships' consideration.
Lord CAMPBELL had understood that the parties to that
petition had never met together as man and wife, but if they
had rout together as man and wife in a single instance, and
'here had been i,rue from that marriage, he should most
decidedly oppose the reception of the petßion.

' ir• W. S. O'BRIEN rose for the purpose of asking the
Nlembers of the Government whether they intended taking
any steps towards rescuing Ireland from that appalling state
of starvation in which it appeared, by the returns lately laid
upon the table of the Howe (and which he hoped every
Member of that House had carefully read), that
that country
was in at this present moment.
These re, nrns represent many places as actually suffering under
the effects of famine. After this report, be wuuld ask, did the
Government invite the House to consider a measure for the
purpose of abridging the liberty of the people of Ireland, rather
than one for the relief of the poverty which so alarmingly
prevailed. Al they had however, to do that,
he should feel it to be his duty to call the attention
