We may state that it is not likely that any Bill for
extending the duration of the Encumbered Estates Commis..
sion will be introduced in the present session of Parliament.
Should such a measure be deemed, hereafter, expedient.
there will be ample time for introducing tin the next ses-
sion, as the right to present petitions for sales may be exer-
cised up to July, 11152. We may avail ourselves of the pre-
sent opportunity to contradict a report circulated, we under-
stand, very generally amongst the legal profession in Ireland,
that it is intended to transfer the Commissioners' jurisdiction
to the Irish Court of Chancery.
REPRESENTATION OP CLACKMANNAN.--My. W. P.
Adam has addressed the electors of the United Counties of
Clackmannan and Kinross. He proclaims himself in favour
of an extension of the franchise, and a liberal and compre-
hensive system of education. He also declares himself to be
a thorough free-trader. Mr. Adam is son of Admiral Sir
Charles Adam, of Blair-Adam and Barns, K.C.B , who silt
for the counties from 1831 to 1841, and was a Lord of the
Admiralty from Lord Melbourne's return to office in April,
1835, till his resignation in September, 1841.
THE DOCKYARD MEN AND THE EXHIBITION.---
An order has been promulgated among the workmen in the
dockyard this morning to the effect that the period of leave,
to be granted to them for the purpose of visiting the Great
Exhibition of the works of Industry of all na'ions is to be
extended to six days—the first half of the workmen to pro-
ceed to London on her Majesty's birthday, returning on the.
Friday following, and the second half to proceed on the mini.
versary of her Majesty's coronation. The Admiral has inti-
mated to the men that in case the fares of the railway are
not reduced to what may be considered a low figure, he will
place a vessel at their disposal for the purpose of conveying
them to the metropolis.—Portsnsouth Guardian.
A return made by the Poor-law Board to Parlia-
ment, of the cost of the in-door and out-door relief of tb.e
poor in 607 unions and parishes in England and Wales, for
the half-year ended at Lady-day last, has just been printed.
This return shows that the total cost of the relief of the poor
for the last half-year amounted to 1,679,429/., being a de-
crease of 140,4331., er 7.7 per cent., as conapared with the coat
of relief for the corresponding half-year in 1849-50.
NI SPURIOUS TEA.—Mr. Stevens, a respectable trades,-
man, was fined 2501., on Tuesday last, by the Liverpool ma-
gistrates for manufacturing an article called tea, from the
leaves of beech and plane trees.
Two females were discovered in barrels on board
a vessel bound to Charleston from Liverpool, a short time
since, after being fourteen days at sea. Several ;others, simi-
larly concealed, were subsequently discovered.— Boston Pap.:
PRESENTATION TO DR. J. F CLARKE.--A very interesting ceremony took place.
yesterday evening at the
private residence of Dr. Webster, 24, Brook. street, Groiree-
nor square, where a numerous party of the most distinguished
members of the meaical profession assembled to pay - grace-
ful tribute of respect to one of their own body, vihao,- from
his long connexion with the profession, and still more by
his able and discriminating contributions to the medical
press, has long been recognised as one to whom his medical
brethren of this and other Countries have been deeply
indebted. We allude to Mr. J. F. Clarke, vice-president of
the London Medical Society. The assembly was presided
over by Dr. Clutterbuck, characterisedthe father oil
the profession." Dr. Webster in a few words introduced tho
object for which they had met, and Dr. Clutterbuck, aftor
expressing his warm appreciation of the personal virtue am?
professional ability of his friend Dr. Clarke, presented Oa*.
gentlenlan with a service of plate and a very elegant ink.
stand. The presentation of the testimonial was suitably
acknowledged by Dr. Clarke, and various complimentary
and good-natured speeches were made in the course of the
evening. The following inscription was engraved upon tbe
nh
e
inkstand :—" To J. F. Clarke, Esq., Vice-President of
