for non-effective forces, and 500,0001. for the civil
departments, and 3,000,0001. for the military estab-
lishments of our colonial empire, he is surely insisting
upon something more reasonable than the resignation
of that empire to the avarice or valour of even the
most energetic of the great powers in the eastern or
western hemisphere. No, it is a mere blinking of
the question at issue to pretend even for an instant
that the demands made by Sir WILLIAM MOLESWOBTH
and his supporters, go to lengths so flagrantly Quix-
otic in their exaggeration. What they are re-
quiring, what we the financial reformers
of. England are requiring in the House
and out of the House, through speeches
and through leading articles, on the floor of the Com-
mons and in the broadsheets of the public journals, is
not a niggardly evidence of parsimony, not a petty,
evasion of disbursements justly and equitably de-
manded of the Treasury, not a mean and miserable
restriction of the powers of Government going so far
as to stunt the growth of our energies, but a whole-
some revision of the expenditure in the colonial as
well as in the other departments of the Administra-
tion, to the end that economy may temper generosity
in the apportioning of the national revenues. Those,
we take it, were the principles advocated last evening
by Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH, and forasmuch as he
has been earnest, and we believe conscientious in their
advocacy, he is entitled to the cordial approbation of
the community.

The resolution for the repeal of the window-tax,
and the imposition of a house-tax in lieu of it, will be
brought forward this evening in the House of Com-
mons. To the first branch of the proposition, the
repeal of the tax on light and air, we do not anticipate
any opposition. All parties must be too well aware
of the injustice and impolicy of the present system to
desire its perpetuation. Even those who are advo-
cates for a house-tax clearly perceive that no more
injudicious mode of assessment could be adopted
than that on the number of apertures, which
not only interfered with architectural beauty,
but was exceedingly prejudicial to health, and
which pressed most unequally on the tax-
payers ; some districts being charged three or
four times as much in proportion to their actual
value as other more fashionable localities. The
Hon. Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire
has expressly declared that the amendment, of which
he has given notice for this evening was not intended
as an amendment to the motion for the repeal of the
window-tax, nor was he prepared to oppose that
repeal. If, then, the recognized leader of the
Agricultural Party does not object to the removal of
the unwise and inequitable impost, it is not probable
that any person will assume the invidious position
of champion of the existing abuse, or resist its abo-
lition.

PETITIONS.

LAW OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of
the Bill to amend the law of evidence. This Bill pro-
posed to admit parties interested in the effuse to give
evidence in civil cases. It had been decided by the
courts of law that a party was excluded from giving evi•
dente only by having an interest in tt.e event of the suit;
that point had been settled by the decision of the Court
of Common Pleas, when presided over by Chief
Justice Tindal, in the case of Worrall v. Jones. Since
then the evidence of persons having an interest was
admitted under the provisions of Lord Denman's Act,
passed in 1843. Tho Bill which he now proposed was
merely a corollary of Lord Denman's Act; since that
Act had passed the County Courts Act bad passed, and in
every cause tried under that Act the parties to the suit
were examined, and in the majority of instances they
bad been examined. He proposed to extend this provi-
sion to all cases. It had been said that this provision
would be an encouragement to perjury—(Hear, hear)
—but the refusal of such an enactment was
a temptation to subornation of perjury, and there were
not a few rea3ons to show that witnesses tendered by
parties were much more likely to commit perjury than
the parties themselves. No one could be better acquainted
with the case than the parties themselves, and under
cross-examinatic•n the perjury of such persons was much
more likely to be discovered than that of a suborned
witness. Again, how many persons were there who
would have a scruple at foreswearing themselves who
would not scruple to suborn others. Again, how often
did not partial witnesses give a colour to transactions
who would not commit the foul crime of perjury.
Again, the man who committed perjury in support of his
own case would make much greater shipwreck of his
character than the man who should give exaggerated
evidence as a zealous partizan.

PAPIST INTOLERANCE.

A Madrid journal publishes the following:—
" In San Felice de Guisols, a town situated between
Barcelona and Rosas, an Englishman has been established
some years, and gives employment to numerous work-
men and families by manufacturing corks from the ma-
terial growing in his neighbourhood, which ho exports.
Under these favourable circumstances he sought the
hand of a young lady of the same place, of good family
and untarnished reputation, but on applying to the
curate, was told that he could not be married in Spain
unless he turned Catholic. The Englishman's love for
his future bride induced him to consent to this sacrifice,
although with repugnance, under the supposition that
it would put an end to all difficulties. But this did not
turn out to be the case; the curate now exacted that he
should obtain the paternal consent, and the young man
wrote accordingly to England; the answer was, that if
he changed his religion, he would be disinherited and
completely abandoned. In this terrible dilemma he pro-
ceeded to Barcelona, and after consulting the English
consul there, was duly married by that functionary in
accordance with the Consular Marriage Act of 1849.
This step taken, the happy pair returned home with the
certificate of their nuptials, and passport en regle. For a
time they lived together unmolested; but their happiness
did not last long. The curate, enraged at what had ()s-
-carred, complained to the bishop, who ordered the sepa-
ration of the bride and bridegroom. They refused to
obey his mandate, and he then had recourse to the civil
governor of the province, who directed the alcalde of
San Felice to carry the separation into effect. Thia
official, however, confined himself to giving them notice,
and was in consequence prosecuted with the Englishman
and his wife. The former had recourse to his consul,
who reported the affair to the British Minister in Madrid,
who, in his turn, applied to the Spanish Government for
redress. Lord Palmerston had passed various commu-
nications upon the subject to cur Government, which has
referred it to the Royal Council. It appears that the
Ministers of the Interior, of Foreign Affairs, and Grace
and Justice, hare given contrary opinions, and that the
Royal Council has decided that the separation shall take
place until a dispensation is obtained from the bishop to
enable the curate to solemnize the marriage according to
the Roman Catholic ritual."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
Coastwise the arrival of English Wheat for our mar-
ket this week has amounted to 2,550 quarters, chiefly
in very middling condition. Fresh up to-day the
receipts of that grain from Essex, Kent, Suffolk,
&c., were small; whilst the show of samples of
both red and white was comparatively limited. The
attendance of both town and country millers hav-
ing fallen off, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
borne produce ruled inactive, but we have no change
to notice in prices. From abroad only 2,250 quarters of
Wheat have come in, and the quantity afloat is trifling. Se-
lected samples changed hands to a moderate extent, at
full currencies; but the middling and inferior kinds
commanded very little attention. Barley, the supply of
which was very moderate, moved off steadily, at prices
fully equal to those obtained on Monday. We had a
full average show of Malt, in which a fair business was
doing at late rates. The supply of foreign Oats being
considerably ou the increase, the Oat trade was lets ac-
tive; nevertheless, prices wero supported. Beans and
Peas were unaltered ; but Indian Corn afloat was held
for more money. We were heavily supp.ied with
French Flour; yet importers refused to accept lower
figures.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on offer in
to-day's market was again limited, the dernaud for that
description of stock, owing to the small number of buyers
in attendance, ruled very inactive, at Monday's quota-
tions. There was a further slight increase in the num-
bers of Sheep, which moved off slowly, at prices barely
equal to those obtained last week, the extreme value for
the primest old Downs in the wool being 4s ticl, out of
the wool 4s per 81bs. We had a very slow bale fur
Calves and Pigs, at previous currencies. Lambs ruled

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
,omy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted In the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted s ith ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

CANADIAN CANALS.

Mr. T. DUNCOMI3E wished to know if the report
of the American papers was true, that the Canadian
Government had closed their canals to the American
shipping?
Mr. HAWES had no official information on the
subject.

WEDNESDAY

EVENING,

bility, of a knowledge of right and wrong, cannot be ap-
plied to such cases. Mothers have been known before
the perpetration ct the murder, to request their atten-
dants to remove the child. Such cases are commonly
known from deliberate infanticide by their being no at-
tempt at concealment nor any denial of the crime on
detection. Several trials involving a question of puer-
peral mania have been decided within the last few years.
Dr. Ashwell has remarked, that undue lactation may
give rise to an attack of mania, under which the murder
of the offspring may be also perpetrated."—G. H. Rep.
10, 69.)
Is there not, then, a remarkable coincidence be-
tween the conduct of this unfortunate creature and
that which she would adopt, if labouring under
puerperal mania, and also as to the exciting cause
What, we ask, would be more likely to bring on a
relapse, or to cause a derangement of the lacteal ducts,
than the exposure to the piercing cold of a March
night, and being without food or shelter for more
than twenty-four hours. She does not deny the act
when charged with it, but at once states the circum-
stances with the utmost candour. She yielded, in fact,
to the uncontrollable impulse of the moment, and it
must not be forgotten that the attack might only be of
a few hours' duration, so that all symptoms might
have disappeared before she came under the notice of
any person :who could speak as to her actual con-
dition.

Under all the circumstances of the case, we feel that
there is, to say the least of it, so great a doubt, that
it would be exceedingly dangerous to carry the ex-
treme sentence into execution. We trust that the
Home Secretary will see the matter in this light, and
think it a fitting opportunity to temper justice with
mercy ; and we are convinced that if be should do so
he will receive the approbation of the community.
There will be few, indeed, who could consider it ne-
cessary to make a striking example of poor, unfortu-
nate MARIA CLARKE.

rrivate letters from Madrid, dated the 10th, an-
nourxe the death of the celebrated bull-fighter Fran-
cisco Montes, in the town of Chiclana, near Cadiz.
It is not stated whether by accident or whether his
death was natural. It is probable that it was the
consequence of the severe injury he received some
months since in the ring. Francisco Montes was far
superior in manners, tastes, and education to the ge-
nerality of his class. lie had published an interesting
work on his art, in which he proves that there is
nothing shocking or cruel in its practice. The book
is a manual of bull.fighting. Montes was a careful
man, and must have died wealthy ; his age was
about 56.

BRAZIL MAILS

-----
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—The Royal Mail
steam-ship Tay, Captain G. M. Chapman, has arrived off
this port with the Brazil and South American mails, in
charge of Lieutenant Davies, R.N:, Admiralty agent.
Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, Feb. 27; Monte Video,
March 2; Rio de Janeiro, March 15; Bahia, March 19;
Pernambuco, March 22; St. Vincent (Cape de Verdes),
March 30; Teneriffe, April 4; Funchal (Madeira), April
6; Lisbon, April 10.
The Tay brings 101 passengers, and landed 57 at Lis-
bon, from the Brazils. The freight list comprises specie,
value 2,0001. ; diamonds, value 8,0001.; and a small
cargo.
From Rio de Janeiro we learn that a Brazilian
squadron, under Admiral Grenfell, would proceed on
the 26th March to the river Plate, to Act against Buenos
Ayres, but it was thought that no war would ensue, see-
ing that Rosas was quite unprepared. Copious rains bad
interrupted the regular arrival of coffee from the in-
terior. The crop was estimated at above 2,000,000
of bags. _

Accounts from Buenos Ayres state that the resigna-
tion of General Roses was the all-engrossing topic of
conversation. The subject was once more under celibe-
ration in the Chamber or Representatives, and commu-
nications had been read from all the interior provinces
earnestly remonstrating7;against his withdrawal from
the supreme Government. The whole question was
subsequently submitted to a Committee of the House.
The River Plate markets for British manufactured
goods were much overstocked. The produce of
the country continued in good demand. The severe
drogght continued unabated. Freights were firm at 455.
for salted hides. There was but one disengaged British
ship in port.
Pernambuco letters of the 20th March state that on
Exchange about 60,0001. had pa'sed for this packet at
30d., with a few sums at 29g. Cotton had given way
in
price. Supplies of sugars were abundant, and stocks
large. Freights firm, and the port bare of shipping.
Advices from Bahia of the 19th ultimo mention that
business in dry goods was exceedingly slack. Sugars
dull from want of tonnage. Cotton nominal. Freights
very buoyant.
The screw steamer Propontis, with the homeward
Cape mails, was coaling at St. Vincent's (Cape Verdes)
on the 29,h ult. She was to leave for Plymouth on the
31st. The steamer Sir Robert Peel, with the outward
mail., sailed from St. Vine&nt's on the 29th.
The Tdy brings home the captain and crew of the
schooner Sussex—that vessel having been lost on one
of the Give Verde Islands.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Iberia left Lisbon for Southampton twenty-four hours
before the Tay,- but has not yet arrived. The Tay ran
past her on Saturday in the Bay.

Maj6rity --63
Mr. HEADLAM moved for a Select Committee to
consider the policy of extending the law of mortmain,
so as to include personal estate, and generally to con-
sider whether any alteration should be made in the law
as it affects testamentary or other dispensations in favour
of religions, charitable, or permanent objects. The Hon.
Member explained, that his object was not to legislate
with respect to any particular portion of the community,
but to supply a defect in the law, end he pledged himself,
if the Committee should be appointed, to introduce a
practical measarp.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL expressed his gratification at
the Hon. Member's declaration thst his intended legis-
lation would not be directed against the Catholics in
particular.

The motion was then agreed to.
Lord U. VANE moved for and obtained leave to bring
in a Bill for abolishing the fees paid to county and other
coroners, and for providing for the payment of such co-
roners by salaries.

Notwithstanding that our market to-day was very
scantily
supplied with il'nglish Wheat, the demand for
that grain ruled very inactive, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monday. Most of the samples, especi-
ally those from Essex, were in improved condition. Up-
wards of 4,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in
this week. Selected qualities of both red and white sold
at full currencies, but the middling and inferior kinds
commanded very little attention. We were scantily sup.

SAXONY.

.6 Gentlemen of the Estatel,;:rtz:di
ceronyiction
last year I convoked you,
that you would agree with me as to the
ne-
cessity of restoring the essential principles of mat(l:,,ve
vative policy, and of relying on that Constitution °wlnthicrh:
for many years promoted the happiness of Saxony.
great ^.titMaction to me that this day I am enabled to say
that that 1 was not disappointed in my expectation. Though
it
was not possible to come to an understanding on the sub-
ject of the modifications in the Charter of the Constitu-
tion and the Electionary Law as proposed by my Govern-
ment, still part of the object:in view has been realised by
the abolition (in another way) of the fundamental laws,
while your consent to the modification of several para.
graphs of the Charter of the Constitution secures the
supplies for the want of the Administration in the event
of unexpected but still possible contingencies. The fo-
reign affairs of Saxony have of late assumed a satisfac-
tory aspect. The affairs of Germany, which last year
compelled me to take extraordinary rueasta" (ad pro-

scribed by my federal duties) have not yet been defini-
tively arranged, bet they are progressing peaceably and
so .tording to the dictates of the federal law.
"An important event,(viz., the opening of the Dresden-
Prague Railroad) has confirmed the union between
Austria and Saxony. It is the basis of an amalgama-
tion of the interests of the two States, and it makes
Saxony the connecting link between the north and
south of our country. This event has been the more
joyful to me, since I am certain that the great and
desired purpose of a German unity is attainable only
on the basis of an identity of interests of all the
German States. Thus, gentlemen, you conclude your
labours. May they improve the prosperity of the country;
may peace, order, tranquillity, and safety flourish, so
that our country may recover from the wounds of the
fatal past."

ITALY.
La Croce di Savoia states that the Austrian Go-
vernment has demanded a passage through the Sar-
dinian territory for its troops in case of any political
change in France, and also demands some fortresses
as a guarantee.
