Sir E. FILMER presented a petition from Northfleet,
in Kent, against the Public Health Bill, the petitioners
expressing their apprehensions lest they should be united

the payment of heavy rates; also several petitions against
the Bill for establishing diplomatic relations between the
Court of Rome and this country.
Lord COURTENAY presented several petitions
praying for an alteration in the union settlements in
Ireland.

Mr. RICE presented a petition from a charitable
association in Dover praying for a remission of the

Mr. lIAMILTON presented a petition, signed by the
Bishop of Derry, the Dean, Archdeacon, and fifty-six of
the clergy of that diocese, complaining of the unjust
administration of the poor-laws in Ireland, as regarded
the property of the Irish clergy, and praying for an im-
mediate alteration thereof.

Mr. K. SEYMER presented a petition against the
Bill for establishing diplomatic relations with the Court
of Rome.

Mr. HUME said that in his opinion a more absurd
reason weld not be given for the rejection of the peti-
tion than that given by the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet the Member for the University of Oxford,
that it could nut be received on the ground that it was
opposed to the general opinion of the House. Why
those were the very kind of petitions which were
required, and which the House ought to throw wide
open its doors to receive.—(Hear, hear.) Petitions which
agreed with the House were not petitions that were re-
quired. It was the duty of the House to re
ceive every petition that was sent to it. If once
the House were to begin to refuse, at what
part would they draw the line of distinction ?
Nothing but evil consequences would ensue from the
rejection of the petitions of the people.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM said that he was sorry to be com-
pelled to pronounce an opinion upon the matter. He was
as anxious as any Hon. Member to offer no obstruction
to the presentation of petitions of the prayers of the
people upon all subjects which might be a matter of de-
bate before the House. He was glad that the pe-
tition had been allowed to be brought up and
read at the table, because be thought that
they would have been acting wrongly had they
pronounced any decision upon the subject in ignorance
of the contents of the petition. He could not say that
he went the full length of the Hon. Member for Mon-
trose (Mr. Hume). He Could net agree with him in
thinking that it would be consistent with loyalty
to the Sovereign, or respect to the institutions
of the country, to entertain petitions addressed to this
House, calling for the abolition of kingly government
and for a substitution of a republic in this
country.—(Hear, hear.) He could not with a
sense of duty subscribe to that doctrine. The
form of government established in this country
was a government by Kings, Lords, and Commons.
Lie thought that a line must be drawn with respect to
petitions to be entertained by the House, and that no
petition should be allowed to lie upon the table which
dealt with the fundamental interests of the country. He
thought that the institution under which they lived was no
less a kingly government than a government composed
of two Houses of Parliament, the Houses of Lords and
Commons; and if this opinion was well founded, then,
in his opinion, this House ought not to entertain
petitions wishing for the abolition of kingly go-
vernment. By a parity of reasoning, he would not
resist the force of the inference, that they should not
allow petitions to lie upon the table asking for the aboli-
tion of the House of Peers. He regretted the duty
which was thus forced upon him by the Right
Honourable Baronet the Member for the Uni-
versity of Oxford, but acting at once upon
the impulse of his judgment and feeling, ho felt
bound to say that if this question should be forced to a
division, he should certainly feel it his duty to vote
against the petition being allowed to lie upon the table.
Lir. BRIGHT wished to know whether it had not
been the custom of the House to allow petitions to be
received for the rejection of bishops from the House
of Lords. He thought that if such petitions were
allowed to be received by the House, there
could be no reason to believe that the House
was unable to receive petitions, praying for
the total abolition of the House of Peers. He did not
express any sympathy, and probably no Hon. Member
in the House would express sympathy, with the whole
of the contents of the petition. (Hear, hear.)
He was sure, that with regard to these particular peti•
Lions, the only effect of this discussion would be to
raise the petitioner, in his own estimation, and turn
the public attention to the discussion of questions
which the House did not wish to be discussed.—(Hear,
hear.) If the House determined not to receive the
fire e 441 petition he was sure that it would only lead
tom itiV presentation of other similar objectionable
petitions. He would express no opinion whatever upon
thill; petition; that was a matter of minor importance,
but he considered it of enormous importance that the
House should not take a false step on the present occa-
sion.

Mr. BUTLER presented a petition, signed by the
Mayor and Corporation of Kilkenny, praying for a resto-
ration to Ireland of its own Parliament, to be composed
of Irish nobles, Irish merchants, and Irish traders.
Mr. SCULLY presented a petition from Tipperary,
praying for a repeal of the Union.
Sir DE L. EVANS presented a petition, agreed to at
a public meeting held in St. George's, Hanover-square,
praying the House to institute an inquiry into the cue
of the late Raja of Sattara.
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY postponed
the motion of which he had given notice for a return of
the number of officers and men in the army at home, in
India, and the other British colonies, and the means of
instruction afforded to them.

against Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act. The Hon. Member

into its consideration. _ _

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hereford, March :15.
CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Justice CunsswEnn.)
Joseph Bishop, 24, %N as charged with a burglary in the i
house of Mary Cotton, n the city of Hereford, on the
6th of January, and stealing therefrom two silver cups,
several silver spoons, a silver sugar basin, and other
articles of plate and jewellery, her property.
The prosecutrix, a widow, is now the landlady of the
Greyhound Hotel, but at the time in question kept the
Maidenhead Inn, and retired to rest leaving the premises
all safe, and the stolen property also, at half past
eleven o'clock. The next morning it was found that
an entrance had been made into the house by raising
the trapdoor of the cellar, and so passing through
the vault, ascending the steps, and getting into the
bar, in the door of which, leading into the cellar,
two panes of glass had been broken. Various articles
were missed, and no clue obtained to the thief,
until ab,put a fortnight ago, when a female named
Prosser, pledged a ring with Mr. Myers, a pawnbroker,
and it transpired that it was given her by the prisoner
for a night's lodging, in lieu of money. This ring.
was identified by Mrs. Cotton as her property. In ad-
dition to this, it was shown that the prisoner was seen
loitering near the house at twelve o'clock on the night of
the robbery, and coming from that direction early the
next morning.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR bad no doubt that the petition
either came from an unenlightened Chartist or an ig-
norant Whig.—(Great laughter.) When the Hon.
Member f,r Montrose talked about ignorant Chartists,
he ought to recollect that he was one of the seven wise
men that signed the People's Charter.—(Great laughter.)
He trusted that in future the llon. Member tor Mon-
trose would express the same opinion in that House that
ho was in the habit of doing out of it.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME challenged the Hen. Member for Not-
tingham to state a single instance in which he had made
assertions out of that house that he did not uphold
in it. He was not, he begged to inform the Hon. Mem-
ber, one of those who was in the habit of using language
for the occasion—(Hear, hear)—and, as to his saying
that the Chartists were an ignorant body, he had never
said any such thing.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL believed that the Right
Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon had made a most

He was foUnd Guilty, and several previous convictions
established against him.
The Junun told him his whole course had been a
career of crime; reformation in him was hopeless; and
passed sentence of transportation for fifteen years.
John Beaven, twenty-six (who was deely affected),
pleaded guilty to an indictment and coroner's inquisi-
tion, charging him with the manslaughter of his brother
James, at Leintwardine, on the 4th of October.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE, on the part of the prosecution,
strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy. It was a
very melancholy case. The brothers were together at a
ball, when the prisoner struck his brother in mere sport;
the other returned the blow rather severely. The pri-
soner struck him a second on this, but it not appearing
violently ; but it way a most unfortunate blow, as the
next moment the poor young man lay stretched a corpse
at his brother's feet.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said, it was a most distressing
case, and if the prisoner had not been in prison ono
single day he should not have felt himself justified in
inflicting on him a more severe sentence than the cne
he was now about to pass, which was, that he be
further imprisoned until the rising of the court. The
melancholy catastrophe was entirely the result of ac-
cident, and he (the Judge) did not think any one in
court could imagine for a moment that the prisoner
meant to injure, much less cause the death of his
brot her.

As the Court rose at six, the unfortunate instrument
of a brother's death having received jutment at four
o'clock, only remained in custody two hours.
The a:s7zes terminated at six o'clock, and the com-
mission for Monmouthshire was opened by Sir J. Pat-
teson, who preceded Mr. Justice Cresswell.

MUTTON LEGS.—Among the articles of food
brought from the United States of America, are legs of
mutton iu casks, in a salted, or slightly preserved state,
to be manufactured into mutton hams. The vessel just
arrived from New York has brought twelve barrels of
these mutton legs or hams, in the state mentioned. If
only salted, they are free of duty, but if they have un-
dergone the process of drying and smoking, so as to
bring them within the meaning of the term hams, as
commonly understood, they become liable to the duty
on that article. The same remark applies to the pork
legs brought in considerable quantities from the United
States of America.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
DOUSE OF COMAIOAS, March 27.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY (DE-
VIATION AT WILLING TON) BILL.

ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. lIINDLEY moved as an amendment that it
be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. COLV ILE seconded the motion.

Mr. RICARDO protested against the ex parte state-
ment which !sad been printed and circulated amongst
Members. The allegations contained in that paper were
untrue, and the map appended to it were untrue also.
Tne facts were these :—The North Staffordshire Com-
pany had brought forward a line which passed through
the estate of a gentleman who had proposed another
line, and the Committee rejected the company's Bill.
The line now put forward was the very same that gen-
tleman had advocated—taken from his own plan put up
in the Committee-room. This was a question of money
between the company and that gentleman, who had
asked 25,000/. for twenty acres of land, and which sum
the company had refused to give.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading 143
Against it
Majority for the second reading —l2B
The Bill was then read a second time.
SLIGO ELECTION.:

Mr. GRANGER, Chairman of the Select Committee
appointed to inquire into the allegations contained in
the petition complaining of an undue election return for
the borough of Sligo, reported to the House that the
Committee had come to the following resolution :
" That Mr. J. P. Somers is not duly elected to serve
in the present Parliament for the borough of Sligo, and
that the last election for the said borough is a void
election." _ _

From Marseilles we learn that Messrs. Rolland
Ruffio, and Co. have been enabled to resume business
by the receipt of remittances from the Levant.

Sir W. BARRON immediately after moved, and it
was ordered, that a new writ be issued for the election
of a Member fur the same borough, in the room of Mr.
Somers.

•resolution:—" 1 hat this House, recognising
legitimate source
would move as an amendment on the. order of the day the
following .
the `great principles that labour is the
.so. source of all
that labour, therefore,. should be the first
owfeaailtlhp;otwheart;the people are the only
to partake of the fruits of. its own industry; that taxa-
tion without representation is tyranny and should be
resisted, and believing that the resources of this country
would be best developed by a Government of represen-
tatives chosen by the labouring classes in conjunction
with others living by indu.trious pursuits—that, in re-
cognition of thew truths, this House adopts the princi-
ples of the People's Charter, annual elections, universal
suffrage, vote by ballot, (coal electoral districts, no pro-
perty qualifieatioi,3, and payment of Members of Par-
liament."—(The announcement was followed by laughter.)
In answer to a question from Sir J. DUCKWORTH,
Sir G. GREY stated that the Bill which had been
suggested in the last session relating to the management
of highways and alf?cting turnpike trusts had been re-
modelled in the recess, and would lse laid before the
House at the earliest possible period. It was not the
intention to propose the same central control which had
originally been contemplated.

THE POLISH PEOPLE.

The HON. MEMBER
_also preaeuted a petition from a

Mr. tI.NSTEY gave notice, that on Tuesday next

(this day week) he would move that an humble address
be presented to her Majesty, on the occasion of the
recent important political eventz in Austria, Poland, and
Prussia, praying her Majesty that she will not consent
to any new territorial or other arrangement in connexion
with such events that does not recognise and secure to
the ,Pelish people the full enjoyment of their lawful
liberties and independence.
Mr. AGLIONI3Y asked the Secretary for the'llome
Department how soon the Government would introduce.
a Bill for the compulsory entranchisenients of copyholds?
Sir G. GREY replied, that such a Bill had been pre-
pared, on the recommendation of the Copyholds Com-
mission, and was now in the hands of the Lord Chan-
cellor, and would be introduced at an early period in the
other House.
Mr. ROCHE asked whether it was the intention (.1
her Majesty's Government to bring in a registration
Bill fur Ireland ; and, if so, when?—(Hear, hear.)
Also, whether her Majesty's Government had any real
intention to reform the present grand jury system in
Ireland?—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL stated, in answer, that Bills on
the subj, eta referred to were in preparation, and would
be introduced whenever the chance presented itself of
securing a clear day for their discussion.
