CUSTOMS BILL.

On the motion fir the third reading of this Bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the insertion of the following clause:—" And whereas
divers rules, orders, and regulations have from time to
time been made by the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Customs, in pursuance of the powers conferred upon them
by certain Acts passed in various sessions of Parliament,
some of which Acts have since been repealed; and
doubts have arisen whether such rulee, orders, and regu-
lations are still of legal force and efficacy; be it there-
fore enacted, that all rules, orders, and regulations
already made or issued by or under the authority of the
said Commissioners, under or in pursuance of any Act
or Acts relating to the Customs, or to trade or naviga-
tion, although such Act or Acts may have been re-
pealed, shall be and centinue in full force and effect,
so far as such rules, orders, and regulations are consis
tent with the provisions of e laws in force relating to
the Customs, or to trade or navigation, unless and until
the same shall be revoked or.rescinded, and that all acts
whatsoever done or to be done in pursuance of any such
orders, rules, and regulations shall be valid and effec-
tual." Upon which
Mr. HUME objected to the clause.
The House divided, when there appeared—
For the clause
Against it ...
Majority ...
The clause was then agreed to.
On entering the gallery we found
Mr. NE WDEGATE moving the following amend,
ment:—" In page 2, line 35, atter the words A true
account,' to insert the words,' of the quantities and r,al
value.' " His object was to enable the Legislature of
this country to obtain that accurate information which
the L.gislatures of other countries possessed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected
to the amendment, and hoped that it would not be
pressed at present, as sufficient notice had not been
given.
After a few words from Mr. NE PirDEGATE, the
amendment was withdrawn.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed,

L )rd REDESTIALE objected to the motion. The Bill
was, in fact, an Estate Bill; several persons were desirous
of opposing it br-fore Committee, and it ought to be
treated as a private Bill. lie hoped it would be per-
muted to stand over.

The Earl of CARLISLE hoped that their Lordships
would not delay the progress of this measure, which was
most important. All the parties interested had been
already fully heard.

with great force on the upper jaw, knocking out three of his
teeth, and injuring the bone. Had he received the blow on

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

FATAL AFFRAY WITH KAFIR CONVICTS.
On the night of the 28th ult., the head constable and heed
overseer proceeded to open the door of that portion t f
the barrack in which the Kafir prLoners are confined,
for the purpose of putting out the lights. Immediately
the dour was opened tho head constable was struck a
heavy blow on the head with a stone b) one of the pri-
soners; this was a signal for a rush. and notwithstanding
the efforts of the constables, 12 Kafirs contrived to force
themselves outside the door. The constables on duty
immediately fired, and the sound of the shots seemed to
damp the courage of those inside, and the constables at
the door succeeded in closing it. One Kufir was
wounded in both shoulders while in the ard, and fell,
and a pursuit was then commenced after the remaining
eleven. Three were shot dead, three more wounded—
one of whom is since dead, and another was made pri-
soner on a subs( quest night by Mr. Ousthuisen, of
Courney, while in the act ur stealing a sheep from his
kratl, the reunaning four are still at large, one of whom
is known to be severely wounded in the thigh. The be-
haviour of the constables and overseers is spoken of by
Mr, Superintendent White in terms if high praise. One
overseer, armed only with a bayonet, was engaged in
close conflict with a powerful Kafir, much above his own
size, for some atinut,s, during which the Kafir contrived
to wrist away the bayonet; the overseer succeeded, boa -
ever, in re covering it; but the Kafir would not yield
until be had received two or three thrusts through the
body. Sixteen of the most tuibulent among these men
have been brought under a strong guard to this place, for
the purpose of being forwarded to Cape Town.—Cape of

A GENUINE BRITISH TAR.

If we had not the best warranty for the following
amusing circumstance, we should almost fear to find it
placed among those apocryphal anecdotes which are only
endurable beearter they are "characteristic." We can,
however, vouch for its uerf•ct truth :—The reader is fa-
miliar with the story of " Mazena," and its adaptation
te the stage of Mr. Batty% spendid theatre, Astley's.
A few evenings since a sailor, evidently of the man-
of-war breed, paid a visit to the theatre and occupied a
seat in the pit. He watched the course of the story
with attention. Ile sympathised with the true love of
the H'-:men and the " fayre young ladye;" he lamented
the interruption it experienced, and could not at all per-
ceive the justice of the proceeding by which the Pala.
tine doomed Mazappa to be lashed to the back of a wild
horse of the desert. In deference, however, to the pre-
sence of a large audience, Jack for a lung time witnessed
the whole proceeding with calmness, it not with patience.
At length his indignation rose to a high and ungovernabl
pitch. Seeing Mazappa, as he supposed, exhausted with
his long gallop over the steppes, he bounded from the
pit anti endeavoured to make his way over the orchestra,
in order to put an end to such tyrannical treatment on
the stage. He invoked his eyes and limbs to hear wit-
ness that he would not allow a gentleman to be so dealt
with. He had not deserved it, and he (Jack) would Le
—no matter what—if it should continue. The mu-
sicians in the orchestra remonstrated with the tar, and
endeavoured to persuade him that the whole was a sham
—a mere make pretence. That would not do for
Jack; he had the use of his senses as well as other
people, and he saw what was going on, and shiver his
titneers if he'd &tend it at any price. The musicians,
&.c., were, however, do many for the honest man•of-
war's•man. Unlike Mr. T. P. Cooke, who scatters a
whole army of opponents single-handed, Jack suc•
cumbed to the united orchestral force, not, however,
without expressing a hearty wish that he had his mess-
mate. Big Tem, by his side—he'd soon let them feel
whether a British sailor would sit quietly by and see
such a thorough gentleman as ALzeppa ill-used. At
length the blue jacket was induced to waive his interfer-
ence and silently await the issue. Great then was his
deli ht to fi'id that justice was at length done to Ma-
zeppa. and his true love restored to him with all honours
eno rejoicings. Ho would now have given a week's grog
to have been allowed to jump on to the stage and congra-
tulate the worthy gentleman on his ultimate triumph;
but as this was as much out of rule us his proposed vi-
el-urmis interfence, he contented himself with giving
three cheers for the triumph of justice, and making the
hest of his way home to recount the whole matter to his
old friend Big Tom. We treed not say that the entire
affair created the greatest amusement amongst a crowded,
au:!itory; and it is very much to Mr. Betty's credit that
he and his officers treated the poor fellow's unintentional
interruption with kindness and cc n deration.— United

From returns presented to the House of Commons,

remarked that in the diocese, now divided, there were no
fewer 'ban 16,000 persons stated as unaccounted for in point
of religious denomination, a circumstance which must be
mainly attributable to their deprivation of the means of
grace. The diocese was the largest in superficial extent,
with the exception of Calcutta, in the British empire, con-
sisting as it slid of 200,000 square miles. At the close of the
sermon the IRA,. communion was administer by the bishop,
Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Howarth, to upwards of 300 of the
bishop's friends. In taking farewell of the bishop, the mem-
bers of the congregation expressed towards him their feelings
of grateful respect and attachment for his welfare and happi-
ness, a compliment which his Lordship suitably acknow-
ledged. The bishop intends embarking for his new diocese
on Saturday, the 24th inst., and will be accompanied by his
chaplains and a clerical staff to be maintained by the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.

The Minister of the Interior of Florence has ad-

Duchy of Tuscany, enjoining them to be very

the case now stands, a contagion peculiar to that
class of persons would seem to have bruken out

LANDLORD INTIMIDATION.

LORD GLENGALL'S THREAT.
Purchasers of encumbered estates have a new kind
of obstacle thrown in their way. They are to be driven
from their possessions by popular hostility. Such, at
least, is the advice given under the shape of a predic-
tion by the Earl of Glen all. " Toe people of ire-
land," says that nobleman," would not recognise as
proprietors speculators from Threadneedle-street, who
bought property at a third of its value—they would
regard them as confiscators, and treat them ac-
cordingly." This is very pretty language, indeed,
for a Peer. What sort of treatment his Lordship
would consider due to exact justice in the case,
or what are the means he contemplates for car-
rying it into execution, he did not intimate;
but these follow of necessity, and are beyond
his control. The rights of property are secured by
law, and for him who would violate them, the means
can be bat of one character. We well remeinber
the common ob3ervaion made with revect to
agrarian outrage. English capital was sail to
be prevented by it from flowing into Ire-
land. Here, however, is an intimation thrown out
broader and clearer than any to which calumny
ascribed the assassination of lardlords. Verily,
the people of this country would be sunk to
the
lowest pitch of stupidity, if they could think of
doing any act against those who come with the
one recommendation of supplanting the present
i, the
race of owners. What ! title acquired
by honourable industry less sure], or supported
by weaker moral sanctions, tchhan that founded on
the sword ? Is capital
an evil that we
it ?
should rise up in arms against Let them not
be afraid. The lordly sneer
at Threadneedle-street.
meets with no echo here. For the information of
persons living at a distance, it may be necessary
to state that no man in Ireland commands

IVIPROVEMENT BILL.

Sir G. GREY ;tated that he attached it great import-
ance to the Bill, becau3e he considered would effect a
material improvement in the administration of justice ;
but as there were some classes in it which he could not
hope to have passed at the present moment., he should
postpone its consideration until the text session, when
be intended to bring it forward in its present shape at
an early pPried.
Mr. HENLEY considered the course pursued by the
Right Hon. Gentleman to be one at the same time pru-
dent and wise. It was a subject of the greatest impor-
tance, and required the fullest consideration.
Mr. AGLIONBY concurred in the course pursued on
this occasion also.

The order was accordingly discharged.
CHIEF JUSTICES' SALARIES BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL intimated that the Chief Justices'
Salaries Bill would also be abandoned. The whole sub-
ject in connexion with the report of the Committee on
salaries would be considered by the Government during

that the House would sit in the new chamber to-morrow
(this day).

servation intact of federal rights, and subject also to
the ratification of the treaty to be agreed to by the
different states of Germany.
London, England, 1850-02-07

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the olst ult. have arrived.
The Chamber of Deputies of Madrid brought to a
close on the 30th ult. the debate on the 13ill for
authorising the Government to levy the taxes ; the
authorisation was granted by 172 votes to 82. The
next day the Chamber resolved to adjourn without
fixing a day for meeting, in order to enable the Mi-
nisters to attend the debates in the Senate. The
Bill on the authorisation was presented to the Senate
on the Ist. It was expected that, immediately
after its adoption, the Cortes would be pro-
rogued, and it was considered likely that a disso-
lution would take place in July or August. The
Heraldo says that after his duel with M. GONZALEZ
BRAVO, M. Rios ROSAS demanded permission from
the President of the Chamber of Deputies, to make
declarations frcm the Tribunal which would satisfy
M. BRAVO, but the President refused. M. GONZALEZ
BRAVO was in a somewhat more satisfactory state,
and the bullet had been extracted from his breast;
but his sufferings were very great, and the wound
was so serious that fears were entertained of
a fatal result. Most of the eminent persons in
Madrid had called on him, as had also M. Rios
Roses.—Letters had been received in Madrid, stating
that Don CARLOS had had an attack of paralysis, but
had been relieved by bleeding.—Royal decrees re-
move Count DE MANILA from the post of Captain-
General of the Phillippine Islands on account of ill-
health, and nominate the Marquis DR LA SOLANO,
Captain-General of Navarre, to the post.—Referring
to the report in a French paper of the intention of
the Queen of ENGLAND to visit Cadia and the Medi-
terranean, the Heraldo intimates that her Majesty
would be well received in Spain.
A letter from Madrid, of the 31st ult., says : " It
is affirmed that on the sth February the Government
will announce officially the QUEEN'S pregnancy, and
that she enters on her fifth month ; moreover, that
this event will be communicated to the several Eu-
ropean Courts, so that their representatives may in
due course of time be present at the accouchement.
This may possibly lead to a reconciliation with Eng-
land, as probably a Minister may be invited to be
present on that ociasion
