POOR LAWS.

Mr. MUNTZ moved for a copy of a return transmit.
ted by the guardians of the poor of _Birmingham to
the Poor-Law Board, dated the 4th day of June, 1856,
showing the total amount expended for the maintenance
and relief of the poor, and the cost per head on the
populations, in 42 unions and paridhes, including the
parish of Birmingham, for the years ending Lady Day,
1354 and 1855 respectively. Agreed to.
WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS BILLS.

In reply to Mr. HADFIELD,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he intended to
proceed with this bill on the 23d inst., as the, day had
been specially fixed for the purpose, and the bill stood
the first on the orders for that day.

ST. PANCRNS WORKHOUSE.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Poor-
Law Board whetber any Progress had yet bedeaaetrinoisnmenaodfffretohimne
the correction of the great evils which h
the crowdid state and defective accommodation
St. Pancras Workhouse; and, if not, whether he intended
to take any steps to require and enforce the necessary
improvements ?
Mr. BOUVERIE said it would be in the recollection
of the houselhat, some time ago, he made a statement
with respect to the course that was intended to be 1„,._
sued in regard to this workhouse. On the 4th of
March an inspector was directed to inspect the
workhouse,: and on the 24ta of .the- same month
that gentleman- made a report, stating that
no material improvement had taken place in the work-
house. A correspondence then ensued between the
Commissioners of the Poor and the .door-Law Board,
the result of which was that a further term of two
months was allowed. That time would expire in July,
but in the course of the summer he anticipated
that a great improvement would take place, as
there seemed to be the greatest desire on the part of the
new commissioners to carry out the necessary measures.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said be presumed there was no
want of poorer over the workhouse authorities.
Mr. BOUVERIE said there wean° power to compel
a reduction of the inmates ; for other purposes the law
Vag sufficient.
Mr. KENNEDY asked the Attorney-General for
Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to
take any steps for Providing an increase of salary for
the clerks of Nisi Prins in Dublin, in consequence of the
increased duties and expenses imposed on them—first,
by the establishment of the " Consolidated Nisi Pries
Court" in Dublir ; and secondly, by the act called "The
Common Law Procedure Act ?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND said
further legislation would be necessary to take the step
alluded to. In the present state of Irish business in that
Louse it was cot intended to introduce any measure on
the subject.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale
to-day's market. The attendance of buyers was but mode-
rate, yet the demand ruled very firm, at fully Monday's
advance in the quotations.
There was a fair demand for foreign wheat, the show of
which was comparatively small, at extreme currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and rather
dearer. Barley sold briskly at extreme rates, but malt
commanded very little attention.
Tho few oats in the market sold briskly, and prices had
an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour were quite as dear as on Monday.

HURRICANE IN RATISROL—TiIe Netce Miunchenor
Zeitung gives the following account of a hurricane which
raged in Ratisbon (Regensburg) on the 31st May :
" A little before 2 a loud whistling sound was heard in
the air, the clouds literally flew in a north-easterly di-
rection, the atmosphere was loaded with sand, and
tiles and slates began to fall from the roofs of the
houses. Ina few minutes the timber of the roofs was
completely exposed to view, and hail as large as
pigeons' eggs fell into the houses. The floors were
soon flooded, and a great part of the furniture spoiled.
All the trees on the side of the town which is opposite
the Walhalla were either torn up by roots or broken in
the middle. The largest trees in the Max avenue broke
like glass, and not more than 10 of the enormous lime
trees at the Schiess-Haush are left. Everything in the
fields was completely destroyed by the hail. A waggon,
heavily laden with corn, and the Munieh ' Eilwagea'
(diligence) were hurled into the town-moat. People
were thrown down in the streets, and driven before the
blast. The great workshops of Maffei are a heap of ruins.
The beautiful stained glass on the south side of th e
cathedral has suffered much. The telegraphic wires are
destroyed."

This account is the one used in my examination before
the C.mmissionera, and is probably more favourable to
the corporation than many published before and
since. For instance, he have no opening of a Coal Ex-
change, and 7,0001. for the cast ; nor have we an Em-
peror of France, nor a King of Sardinia to swell the
amount by an additional 15,0001. or 20,0001., which
will appear in the last year's financial statement.
In connexion with income I have excluded the pro-
portion of coal tax paid over to the Government, and
made no reference to money borrowed, because they ex-
ercise no influence on the cost of administration, as all
the items enumerated would remain unchanged, whether
the income remained as above or amounted to a million
sterling.

Discrepancies in salaries may appear a curious item,
hut there is the glaring fact Chamberlain's ac-
count gives 19,2831. as the salaries of certa'n offices The
same officers return their aggregate salaries at 29,348/.
The difference arises from a portion of the salaries
being received from fees. For instance, Mr. Brand is
entered as receiving 3001., • while, by his own showing,
he receives 1,0131. The Chamberlain appears to receive
15 guineas by his account, while lie is really paid 2,5001.
Some excuse for the extravagance is attempted to be
offered by the corporation having to meet the expense of
the prisons and the Central Criminal C,mrt. From the
artificers' bills I have struck off half the amount paid,
as probably belonging to the prisons ; and, if we strike
out altogether the salaries of the Recorder, Common
Serjeant, and Judge, of the Sheriffs' Court, the cost of
administering the funds of the corporation would still
exceed the sum I ,mentioned at the Common•hall—
namely, 114,0001. The balance of the funds-244,8921.
—is of course expended legitimately in sewers, prisons,
police, bridges, &c.
I have no wish to be parsimonious, but I contend
that, under proper managem-nt, the dignity of the city
may he maintained, and a saving effected of at least
75,0001. per annum. FRANCIS BENNOCH.

PROMOTION or THE ARTS.-Our Government gene-
rally, now that peace is restored, must turn their
attention to its arts, and should grudge no money,
spare no pains, in the work of education and re-
finement. It will pay even financially. Ask onr
Manchester people what they expend in France for
patterns : learn the statistics of Cie Paris trade in
paper-hangings, bronzes, and jewellery. Why, it has
been shown that last year Paris alone occupied nearly
30,000 workmen in cabinet-making, and produced work
worth about three and a quarter millions sterling, and
that about one-third of all that is made in France is for
exportation. Many things go to produce superiority.
The workmen of France in a department of manufac-
tures where they beat us industrially, " are intelligent,
clean-sighted, clean-handed, and for the most part they
work in light, cheerful ateliers, with flowers, or casts,
or engravings about them. The value of such premises,
commercially, says the reporter, is not yet half sufft•
ciently appreciated in this country.".

PRUSSIA.

The magistrates and municipal council of Berlin
having presented an address to the King of Prussia
on the conclusion of peace, his Majesty made the
following reply :—" I have seen with pleasure by
your address with what gratitude and joy you have
hailed the intelligence of peace, and I can assure
you that your congratulations have been most
agreeable to my paternal heart. May God, who
has kept the calamities of war distant from my
states, deign to support me in my efforts to make
Prussia participate in the blessings of peace r,

SPAIN.
MADRID, April 20.—A grand review took place
to-day to distribute colours to the national guard
of the province of Madrid. The most cordial good
feeling prevailed during the review between the
garrison and the national guard. Both raised loud
cheers for the Queen, the Constitution, and Mar-
shall Espartero. Everything passed off without
lan accident. The accounts from Valencia are
!good.

This account is the one used in my examination before
' the Commissioners, and is probably more favourable to
the corporation than many published before and
since. For instance, we have no opening of a Coal Ex-
change, and 7,0001. for the cost ; nor have we an Em-
peror of France, nor a King of Sardinia to swell the
amount by an additional 15,0001. or 20,0001., which
will appear in the last year's financial statement.
In connexion with income I have excluded the pro-
portion of coal-tax paid over to the Government, and
maths no reference to money borrowed, because they ex-
ercise no influence on the coat of administration, as all
the items enumerated would remain unchanged, whether
the income remained as above or amounted to a million
sterling.

Discrepancies in salaries may appear a curious item,
but there is the glaring fact :—The Chamberlain's ac-
count gives 19,283/. as the salaries of certa'n offices The
same officers return their aggregate salaries at 29,3481.
The difference arises from a portion of the salaries
being received from fees. For instance, Mr. Brand is
entered as receiving 3001., while, by his own showing,
he receives 1,0131. The Chamberlain appears to receive
15 guineas by his account, while he is really paid 2,5001.
Some excuse for the extravagance is attempted to be
offered by the corporation having to meet the expense of
the prisoni and the Central Criminal Court. From the
artificers' bills I have struck off half the amount paid,
as probably belonging to the prisons ; and, if we strike
out altogether the salaries of the Recorder, Common
Serjeant, and Judge of the Sheriffs' Court, the cost of
administering the funds of the corporation would still
•exceed .the sum I mentioned at the Common•ball— namely, 114,0001. The balance of the funds-244,8921.
:—is of course expended legitimately in sewers, prisons,
• police, bridges, &c.
1 have no wish to be parsimonious, but I contend
that, under proper management, the dignity of the city
may he maintained, and a saving effected of at least
75,0001. per annum. FRANCIS BENNOCH.

dishonesty, and to these individuals the injurious ru-
