hearty welcome by every sportsman, but be found not less attrac-

ploits, as may be imagined from the title of his book, are sufficiently
diversified. He takes us from 'Madras to the Mauritius, the Cape,
St. Helena, Gibraltar, Tarifa, Tangiers, Malta, Gozo, Syria, Grand
,Cairo, Alexandria, the Desart, &c. ; and the list of sports described
is equally comprehensive: in shooting, from the wild pigeon and quail
to the hawk and eagle; in hunting, from the fax to the wild boar and
bull ; besides numerous piScatorial adventures. Independently, how-
ever, of the sporting details, the many amusing persOnal anecdotes
and sketches of the Colonel's brother officers and associates give ex-
traordinary vivacity to his pages. The work is illustrated with some
capital engravings."—Bell's Life.

INTERMENT IN TOWNS.

Mr. TURNER wished to ask the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, whether the Government in-
tended to submit to the House of Commons any, general
plan of cemetery interment?
Sir J._ GRAHAM said that more than one Hon. Mem-
ber had put a question_ to him of the same kind, at a for-
mer part of the session. He-could'onlygive a general
answer to the question. If he understood the Hon.
Gentleman, he wished to know whether the Government
intended to bring in a general measure with respect to
interment in cities.

Mr. TURNER explained that he wanted to know if
the Government intended to introduce a general ram .
sure on the subject, applicable to the whole country.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had already stated that it
was not his intention, on the part of the Government, to
introduce any measure that should prohibit interment in
the ancient churchyards of the country in which the
dead had been interred for centuries.
COUNTY CORONERS' BILL

On the motion for the Order of the Day for bringing
up the Report on the County Coroners' Bill being put,
Colonel T. WOOD said he objected to the Bill on prin
ciple, because it transferred the appointment of an ancient
county officer from the county electors to the town electors.
The consequence would be that the town constituency
would overwhelm the freeholders of the country. An-
other objection which he had to the Bill was, that it
clubbed together the country and town constituencies,
which were heretofore kept distinct. He should there-
fore move that the Bill be committed that day six months.
Mr. PAKINGTON said as he had several amend-
ments to propose, he thought it would be better that the
Bill should be recommitted.

After a few words from Mr. SCOTT, the Report was
received, and the Bill was recommitted.
After a few words from Sir J. GRAHAM,
Clauses 1,2, 3,4, and 5, were agreed to, with some
verbal and immaterial amendments.
Clause 6, was also agreed to, after a few observations
from Colonel T. WOOD.

and they went towards the car. Mr. Mortimer soon came
towards his house, walking by the chapel, in the belfry of
which Laurence Dowling posted himself. The other Dowling
stood at the lower chapel gate. The deceased got between
the prisoners, and Laurence Dowling struck him down, and,
extraordinary to say, they so soon effected their purpose, that
he lived only three hours afterwards.
Delany, the approver, was then examined, and corroborated
the statement of Counsel in opening the case. On his cross-
examination he admitted being concerned in the murder of
Mr. Hoyne, since the above murder. He also admitted that
he had been at the beating of two Connaught men, but he
could not say if either of them died. He went to steal a cow
from a man who owed him 205., but did not do so. He broke
into a house at night, and took a pistol one day. He was
with those who robbed a man of his papers.
The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and at half-past nine
o'clock the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The CHIEF JUSTICE then ordered that the men should be
discharged.

GAL IVA Y, March 15.

SPORTING ACTION-QUALIFICATION OF IRISH GENTLEMEN.
This was an action which arose out of the Athlone races,
in which Michael Kelly, Esq., of Myrehill, was plaintiff; and.
William James Young, Esq., Lieutenant of the 90th Regi-
ment, was defendant. The action was brought for the re-
covery of a plate, value 551., won by plaintiff's horse Bacchus,
at the races in that town, in September last, but which the
defendant refused to pay plaintiff, in consequence of an objec-
tion made by one of the riders, Mr. Moore, of Moorehall,
against Mr. Kelly, the rider of Bacchus, alleging his want of
qualification, as a gentleman, to ride the race. The jury
found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of the plate,
and 6d. costs.

.The Galway Vindicator says, " It was proved by several
gentlemen of the highest rank in the county, that they were
always happy to meet Mr. Kelly in their society, as a mnn
of the purest integrity, and yet, because Lady lanricarde,
Mrs. Laurence, Mrs. Blake, of Castlegrove, or Mrs. Lynch,
of Moynehill, do not come in their carriages and leave
their visiting cards for Mrs. Kelly, of Myrehill, Mr. Kelly is
,not qualified as a gentleman, nor ought he to look for his
just debts—so argues Mr. Fitzgibbon, because he is descended
from Con of the 100 battles—but the idea was scouted in the
nineteenth century. On the trial, one witness swore the
present Lord Chancellor was no gentleman."

average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on. the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.

In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of 81 per cent. was de-

Prince considered he had been sufficiently punished), tie
sailors were directed to pht him on shore, which they did,
but in-Jack's own way, which was a long way out of the in-
truder's road, as they rowed him about five miles up the river, and dropped him on the mud.--Verdiet, served him right.

. STEAM BOAT Comasrort:Lon Saturday night last
soon after twelve o'clock, the Royal Adelaide steam ship left
St. Katherine's wharf for Leith, with passengers, and a large
and valuable cargo, and about two hours afterwards run
down the sloop William, of Yarmouth, off Erith, and the
master and crew narroivly escaped with their lives. It ap-
pears that the night was very dark, and the wind blowing
fresh from- the east at the time the accident happened. The
sloop, which had a cargo on board of nearly four hundred'
barrels of Yarmouth ale, from the brewery of Sir E. Lucan,
was bound up on the flood tide, nearly in mid stream, and
the steamer was going in the contrary direction, nearly at
full speed. The Royal Adelaide strack her in the bows, and
such wa.s 'the force of the concussion that she began to fill

The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member must give
notice of any motion on the subject.
Mr. WYSE then gave notice that he would call the
attention of the House to the subject of the petition on
Monday next.
WELSH GRIEVANCES.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he should, before
the recess, inquire of the Home Secretary whether it
was his intention during the present session to propose
any remedy for the removal of the Welsh grivances,
whose existence had been recognised in the Report pre-
sented to the House.
NEW POOR-LAW.
Sir CHARLES NAPIER gave notice that, in Com-
mittee on the Poor-law Bill, ho would move that the
guardians should be authorised to give a higher rate of
relief to aged :people above sixty who had paid their
poor-rates. Also that in the event of a man possessing
a cottage of the value of 100/. being no longer capable
of work, he should be eligible to relief.
. Mr. VERNON SMITH said that in the papers which
had been presented to 'the House on the subject
of immigration the Noble Lord (Lord Stanley)
had inserted queries with respect to the possibi-
lity of relaxing the rule confirming the immigra-
tion of women in the colonies to one-third. He begged to
ask whether he entertained any intention of proposing
a relaxation of the rule which had hitherto existed.

Lord STANLEY said that in consquence of a repre-
sentation which had been made to him, he had written
to the Governors of Trinidad and Guiana to ascertain
whether anv practical inconvenience would result from
the relaxation of the rule. He bad only received the
answers five or six days ago; consequently he had not
had time to send out further instructions.
THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. O'BRIEN IN THE
COUNTY OF GALWAY.
Mr. BELLEW rose to ask the Noble Lord the Secre-
tary f9r Ireland a question respecting the appointment
of a Mr. Thomas O'Brien, as a magistrate in the county
of Galway, that gentleman having been until very lately
a violent and undoubted Repealer.

Lord ELIOT said the Hon. Gentleman was quite out
of order in making such observations. If the Hon.
Gentleman had any motion to make he (Lord Eliot)
would' be prepared to give him any information respect-
ing it.
Mr.. BELLEW merely wished to know on what
grounds the appointment had-been made.
Lord ELIOT said he must decline answering the
question.

MASTERS AND SERVANTS' BILL.

On the reading of the Order of the Day for the
further consideration of the Report upon this Bill,
Mr. HAWES expressed his dissatisfaction with the
measure. He thought the clause which gave the power
of imprisonment particularly harsh and oppressive.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had not been able to give to
the Bill the attention he could have .vished, but he had
been given to understand by his Hon. Friend the
Member for East Somersetshire (Mr. Miles), that the
clause was in its penalties only a re-enactment, but that
it was made to extend over work and labour done
under contract, which was not the case with the former
Act.
Mr. MILES said the only effect of this Bill was that
it repealed all old Acts, and consolidated them into one.
Clause 4, which the Hon. Member fur Lambeth (Mr.
Hawes) considered too harsh, was exactly the same in
its provisions and penalties as in the repealed Acts, but
it took a wider scope by giving a power over jub and
piece work ; but the penalties complained of were just
the same as those enacted by the 6th Geo. 111.
Mr. T. DUNCONIBE thought that some words ought
o be

cretionreferred to the case of a
young woman imprisoned,ii3li in Worcestershire,

was the
iie
for leaving her master's service without notice, her de-
fence being that she was compelled to go through a
man's bed-room to her own. The magistrate, in justi-
fication of the course he pursued, said the words of the
Act of Parliament were absolute, and therefore he had
no power to do anything else but sentence the young
woman to imprisonment, it having been sworn that she
had suddenly left her master's service. He (Mr. Dun-
combe) therefore thought that some words ought to be
introduced into the Bill, giving magistrates discretionary
powers.
After a short discussion, the motion that the Report
be considered was withdrawn, and the Bill was ordered
to be recommitted. _

_ _ .....
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
On clause 1 being proposed,
Mr. DAVID BARCLAY moved that the clause
(which relates to domestic servants) be struck out, and
magistrates be authorised in petty sessions to act in
cases of masters and mistresses and domestic servants,
with respect to claims for wages. He wished to give
additional facilities to domestic servants for recovering
their wages. As the law at present stood they had no
such power, and in consequence it was not an unfre-
quent circumstance to find a poor servant girl who had
been arbitrarily discharged from her situation driven to
prostitution to support herself. He hoped. therefore, that
the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir J. Graham) would
agree to a clause giving magistrates in petty sessions
London, England, 1844-03-21

IMPORT DUTIES.

Mr. EWART rose to move the following resotution
—" That it is indispensable to the maintenance and ex-
tension of the trade of- this country, that those duties
be repealed which press on the raw materials of manu-
facture, especially the raw materials of the woollen
and cotton trade. That it is expedient also that
chose • duties be greatly reduced which press upon
articles of interchange in return for our manufactures ;
ecpecially such articles of interchange as, at the same
time, concern the subsistende of the people ; being (be-
sides corn, which is the subject of superior and separate
consideration) such articles as tea, sugar, coffee, bacon,
butter, and cheese. That it is expedient that
those duties also be greatly reduced which, by their
amount, encourage smuggling ; being at once injurious
to the revenue and dangerous to the morality of the
country ; such as the duties on tobacco, silk goods, and
foreign spirits. That whatever temporary deficiency of
revenue be caused by such reduction, ought, until the
revenue regain its former amount, to be sustained by the
property, and not by the trade and labour of the country.
He said that the repeal of these duties were particularly
called for in a time of peace, and still more so in a time
of distress, such as that which this country had lately
witnessed. •

THE BROTWERS.-COLLISION•

This was another —case. of consolidated cross actions, in
which the owners of the bark Brilliant and the bark Brothers
sued each other for the damage caused to their respective ves-
sels by a collision which occurred in the Channel on the 2d
of October, 1843; the Brilliant being bound from London to
Glasgow, in ballast, and the Brothers from London to the
Sands ich Islands, with gunpowder and general merchandise.
A similar conflict of evidence was exhibited in this case as in
the last, except as to the wind, which (contrary to most
examples) both parties admitted to be about N. W.
After hearing Dr. Addams and Dr. Robertson for the
Brilliant, and the Queen's Advocate and Dr. H. Nichell for
the Brothers.
The Trinity Masters were of opinion that the Brothers being
on the starboard tack, it was her duty to keep the wind, which
she did, and that it was the duty of the Brilliant to bear away,
and that, by attempting to cross the bow of the other vessel
the latter vessel had occasioned the damage.
Dr. LUSHINGTON was of the same opinion, and dismissed
the owners of the Brothers from the actions of those of the
Brilliant, and pronounced for the daimage claimed by the
owners of the Brothers in both cases, with costs.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.
The Epiphany Quarter Sessions for transacting county
business was held yesterday, at the Sessions-house in
the Broad Sanctuary, before a full bench of Magistrates.
The first act was to elect a Chairman of the Sessions
until the county day, inclusive of the Epiphany Sessions
1845 (standing order No. 4), when Mr. Sergeant Adams
was unanimously chosen, on the motion of Mr. Walesby,
seconded by Captain Berger, after which the Learned
Sergeant took his seat upon the Bench, and briefly re-
turned thanks.
The minutes of the last Quarter Sessions was then
read by the Clerk of the Peace.
The Bench next proceeded to rece:ve special Reports
of the Visiting Justices of Westminster Bridewell and
of the Committee for accounts and for general purposes,
on the applications received from candidates for the
matronship of the Bridewell, for which there were 41
candidates, amongst whom only 27 were considered
eligible for the situation, After which, the general Re-
port of the Visiting Justices of the Westminster Bride-
well was received, when
Mr. P. LAURIE entered his protest against the system
adopted in many of the metropolitan prisons. He con-
tended that many of tho prisoners were discharged from
those places in a state quite unfit to engage in any labour.
During the short period in which the Model Prison, at
Pentonville, had been in operation, no less than three
persons had been sent to Bethlem Hospital, in a state of
confirmed lunacy. He did not so much find fault with
the diet as the system of solitary confinement, which be
was confident produced insanity. In one instance,
namely, that of John Rees, who had become an idiot, it
was found that he recovered his mental powers upon
being a‘llowed to hold intercourse with the other
