calling for a detailed report.

the Great Western Railway Company, which bad reference
to an accident on that railway, by which a valuable horse,

NEW WRITS.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, a new writ was
ordered to be issued for Boston, to return a Member in
the place of Captain Pelham, deceased, and for Cork,
in the place of Mr. W. Fagan, who had accepted the
Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds.
INCOMES OF THE BISHOPS.

Sir B. HALL said an Act of Parliament existed re-
quiring the archbishops and bishops of the Church of
England to make septennial returns of their incomes.
One of these returns ought to have been made on the
lat of January this year, but none had been made, and as
a motion would shortly have to be made on the subject,
he should be glad to know if the Right Hon. the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department had any means
of making the Bench of Bishops conform to the law?
Sir GEORGE GREY said he must make inquiry into
the subject before he could answer the question.

-MILITARY KNIGHTS 01? WINDSOR.

Colonel SALWEY said, within the last few years
the revenue of the Dean and Chapter of Windsor had
increased to 22,500/. per annum, and they made
the unhappy Military Knights live upon the miserable
stipend of only Is. a day. He wished, therefore,
to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
whether the late Attorney-General, Sir Frederick
Pollock, and the late Solicitor-General, Sir William
Follett, gave their opinion on the case and claims of the
Military Knights of Windsor; and whether, iu case
such opinion was given, there is any objection by the
Government to lay such opinion, or a copy of it, on the
table of the House, with the papers, documents, and
letters relating thereto in the Home- office and in the
State Paper-office?
Sir G. GREY said, in the year 1844, at a time when
his predecessor was in office, the opinion of the then
Attorney and Solicitor-General was taken upon the
legal question in dispute between the Dean and Chapter
and the Military Knights of Windsor. Three opinions
which had been given on this subject had been com-
municated to the Secretary of State, and, acting upon
that opinion, the Home-office declined to advise the
Crown to take steps in the matter. It was contrary to
general practice to produce these opinions, and of course
he had no alternative but to conform to that practice.
Colonel SALWEY then gave notice that he should
on an early day after Easter move for a Select Committee
to inquire into the claims of the Military Knights'of
Windsor.

BRIG IN 1833.

Mr. GOOLD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether, on an inquiry before Admiral Sir Edward
Codrington, as to the conduct of Mr. Dillon on the 24th
of May, 1833, on the occasion of the capture of the
American smuggling brig Peru off the south-west coast
of Iceland, Sir Edward Codrington did net completely
exonerate Mr. Dillon from any imputation of cowardice
on that occasion; and whether it was not proved on that
inquiry that no man-of-war, revenue cruiser, :or preven-
tive service boats were out on that part of the coast on
the night of such capture, excepting the two boats under
the command of Mr. Dillon.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said as
the circumstance alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman took
place as long ago as 17 years, he was not in a position
to give a distinct answer. As to the other question,
he believed there was no other boat out from the shore
at the time of the capture.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office an—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.

The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted ~n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
Is largely interested in this question, and will consult his Interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tip e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, Without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

PORTUGAL.
INSURRECTION AT CINTRA.
Accounts have been rtceivA from Lisbon of
.he 10:h.

On the Bth an insurrection had broken out at Cin-
tra, at the head of which was the Duke of SALDANZIA.
He had been joined by the troops stationed
there, and by the 7th regiment at Mafia, and i
was marching on Santarem, where t was expected
he would be joined by the 4th regiment of cavalry, the
Ist and sth Cacadores and the 11th Infantry. DAR
ANTAS and the members of the Oporto Junta are
preparing to join him ; and it is expected that
the garrison of Lisbon will declare in his
favour. The. KING and the Duke of TBHCHIRA
had left Lisbon for Santarem with 1,300
men, but it was expected that &warms
would be there before them, and it was considered
not improbable that even these troops might go over
to SALDANHA. The object of SALDANHA'S
move-
ment is to banish THOMAR, and the cry of his troops
is "Down with THOMAR." There seems to be great
unwillingness on the part of the citizens of Lisbon
to aid in opposing the insurgents. The British fleet is
at Lisbon, but will take no part in the contest. The
regiments at Biafra shot two of their officers who en-
deavoured to prevent them from joining SALDANHA.

KILEUSH UNION.

Sir GEORGE GREY, in the absence of Lord John
Russell, moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn
until Monday, the 28th of April.
On the question being put,
Mr. MONSELL said he wished to,call the attention
of the House for a very few moments, to a matter which
he was sure would be of most painful interest to every
person who had paid the least attention to the subject.
A few days ago an Hon. Gentlemen called the atten-
tion of the House to the number of deaths
which had taken place weekly in the Union of
Kilrusb. It appeared that out of 5,000 inmates, 200
died in three weeks, or somewhere about 75 per
cent. Since then he had received the report of the
guardians of the union, and he found from
that report that they did in no degree deny
the statement which was made to the House.
There could not, therefore, be any doubt of the fact that
at 20 hours' distance from the metropolis, 75 per cent.
per annum of the inhabitants of a charitable institution
were dying.—(Hear.) In a letter which he had lately
received it was stated that in the neighbouring
union to Kilrush, which was under vice-guardians,
the number of deaths had been infinitely greater than
those he had stated. From the Bth to the 22d of March,
that was to say for two weeks, the proportion of deaths
were 253 out of 3,893 persons, or at the rate of 170
per cent. per annum. He asked the House to
recollect, that when out of two millions of
inhabitants in the metropolis, two hundred
were dying daily of the cholera, great attention was
paid to the subject by the House; and that even railway
accidents, by which comparatively only a few persons
perished, also came in for a share of legislative care.
Under these circumstances, he thought it was not too
much to ask the House to consider the matter he bad
mentioned, when so large a number of ber Ma-1
jesty's subjects were suffering such grievous and
extreme misfortune. (Cries of " Hear, bear.")
He did trust that something would be done for this mat-
ter by the House, for the affairs of Ireland seemed to
occupy but little of their interest, however often it might
be forced upon their attention. He did hope, therefore,
that the Noble Lord would take some steps for
relieving the terrible distress. The facts had been re-
peatedly reported to the Government by the board of
guardians, so that it was vain to say that the Ministry
were not fully acquainted with them. He was quite
sure that the Noble Lord was fully informed of the pre-
sent state of things, and that if it could not be considered

MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned to announce that this remarkable and splendid
FREEHOLD DOMAIN (a few years since the property and occa-

to PUBLIC SALE at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on TUES-
DAY, June 24, at Twelve (unless an acceptable offer shall be pre-

ANIERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, MIDNIQIIT.
By the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, which
arrived in the river shortly after eleven o'clock, we have
received New York advices of the 7th instant.
The Baltic brings 150 passengers and 827,000 dolls.
in specie on freight.
The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain
Nye, with the English mails of the 28th ult., arrived at
New York at eleven o'clock on the morning of the

We rejoice to find that the statement copied by
ourselves from the Daily News of Monday morning, an-
nouncing the death of Daniel Grant, Esq , of Manchester,
was entirely unfounded.

Mx. H. C. COOPER'S CONCERT.—On Monday
evening Mr. Cooper, the English violinist, gave a concert at
the rooms, 71, Mortimer-street, embracing a fine selection of
chamber compositions, and affording a rich treat to ,mateurs
of classical instrumental music, Mr. Cooper being ably as-
sisted by Mr. W. S. Bennett and Messsr. Sainton, Hill, and
Rousselot. Haydn's quartett in F minor No. 35, and Men-
delssohn's brilliant quartett in A minor:No. 2, were led by
M. Sainton with a thorough appreciation of their manifold
beauties, which he brought out with good effect. Spohr's
grand violin duet in D minor, which draws largely upon the
mechanical resources of the performers, exhibited tho powers
and style of execution of Messrs. Sainton and Cooper to
perfection, and was applauded with enthusiasm. The
great feature of the evening was the posthumous

by Mr. Cooper. This is by some considered to be the

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A further falling-off in the
receipts of cotton at the American ports, with a conse-
quent steadying of prices at New York, has imparted
some additional strength to the Liverpool market,
where the quotations are about id. per lb. higher than
they were on Friday last. These circumstances have in-
creased the disposition to raise their terms, which a grow-
ing demand was previously originating amongst spin-
ners and manufacturers. Yarns may be taken to have
advanced fully -id. per lb. since this day week, the gain
being most marked in warps, which are in request both
for exportation and for home manufacture. The Ger-
mans are cautiously increasing their purchases.
As the Indian markets are suffering from a
scarcity of money and an excess of imports,
the merchants have been inactive to-day; yet there is
some inquiry, on their part, for goods, and still more for
aresome

THE AYLESBURY PETITION.
The Sergeant at-Arms reported that John Strutt and
Charles Cunningham, the parties who had presented a
fictitious petition against the return of the Member for
Aylesbury, were in attendance.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that they be
brought to the bar for the purpose of being reprimanded
and then dischargA. He made this motion with the
sanction of the Committee who had investigated this
matter, and who thought the parties acted as they did
through error.
Mr. FFtESHFIELD thought, under the circumstances,
the Committ©e had come to a most merciful consi-
deration.

The motion was then agreed to, and the parties were
brought up to the bar.
The SPEAKER, after alluding to the inquiry which
had been instituted into the concoction
of the petition,
told them it was the bounden duty of the House, and a
duty which it owed to the people whom it represented,
to take care that the right of petition should not be
abused in any way. The right of petition was a most
valuable and important one, and it was therefore essen-
tial that nothing should be done with impunity which
could have the effect of impairing its usefulness. Now
it appeared that Cunningham had affixed the signature
of a third party to a petition, with the consent of his
partner Strntt, which was afterwards presented to the
House, and the House, to mark its displeasure
at such conduct, bad direeted him to pass a severe re-
primand upon them. The House was willing to believe
that this, added to the circumstance of the pain-
ful position in which they found themselves,.
would be a sufficient punishment for the act °I
which they had been guilty, and he had, therefore, t°
inform them that they would be discharged on preen.
of the usual fees.
Mr. STRIITT wished to address a few words to the
House, but the SPEAKER peremptorily ordered him to
withdraw.
The patties then retired from the bar.
