about abstaining to enforce the assessments, but the re-
turns showed that there was no foundation for what he
said, and he really did hope the Houso would insist
upon the reducing the poor-law establishment in Ireland.
Mr. TRELAWNY said if the Bill ware no boon at
all, as some Irish Members asserted, he was quite pre-
pared to refuse it altogether.
Mr. A. STAFFORD reminded the Hon. Gentleman
that the Bill was not intended as a boon to Ireland,
but to save a mass of people from dying of starvation.
Nothing was a boon which was done to sate life, and no
matter what the case of the starvation might
be, whether it arose from bad legislation or a
visitation of Providence, there could be no doubt that it
did prevail to an enormous extent in Ire-
land, and so far from its conferring a
boon on the sister kingdom, it was the
bounden duty of Government to provide some relief.
He called upon the House, if they wished to make the
Bill just and effective, to amend the clause, as it was
proposed, and not to allow their time to be fritted away
by the ill-natured remarks of Hon. Mem bens who had
neither the heart to commiserate, nor the mind to
comprehend the sufferings cf Ireland.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. FITZSTEPIIEN FRENCH was mot ashamed to
admit that he was grateful for this meant re, though he
was bound to say that there was too much money squan-
dered in Irelend upon officials. Much of Is fish misery and
Irish difficulty had been occasioned by lyad legislation,
and it was not only the interest but t'he duty of the
House to do something to relieve the Irish people from
their unparalkled sufferings.
Mr. CONOLLY hoped that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would consent to extend the time of repay-
ment over a longer period, as the expense of the work-
, ing of the poor-law was much greater than had been
calculated.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the addition of the proviso ... ... 91
Against it
Majority against the proviso ... —37
On our return into the gallery we found'
Mr. CLEMENTS on his legs, moving: that the Bill
should be recommitted for the purpose of amending
clause 70, and inserting words in other clauses, which
after a short discussion, was withdrawn.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.

The following letter from the Commissioners of
Woods, &c., to the Lords of the Treasury, on the sub-
ject of the ground appropriated for the site of the Ex-
hibition of 1851, was presented to Parliament on
Saturday :

"Office of Woods, &c., June 15,1850.
"My Lords,—We beg to acknowledge the receipt of
Mr. Hayter's lei ter, dated the Bth inst., in which we are
informed that her Majesty hat, tieeu pleased to give her
consent that the Commissioners for the Exhibition of the
Works of Induitry of all Nations should be allowed to
take possession of the site of the ground in Hyde-park
required for the building; and we are requested, before
giving such possesSion to the Commissioners, to submit
to your Lordships any suggestions, with reference to
this matter, which may appear to us as advisable to be
adopted.
"In compliance with this request, we have to state
that we are of opinion that the Commissioners should
be reqdired to agree to the following conditions in re•
gard to the ground in question, viz.:—
" 1.
.That the only entrance into the perk which shall
be used t.,r thecarriage of the materials, &c., for the
proposed building, shall be that called ' The Prince of
Wales's gate.'
"2. That the gateways inside and outside the park,
and the roadway in the park, to the extent of 25 yards
on either side of the gatcq, shall be paved with granite
at the expense of the Commissioners for the Exhibition,
and to the satisfaction of this board.
"3. That the ride called the Queen's Ride' shall not
beinterfered with in any way, einer by the construc-
tion of the works, or during the progress of the exhi-
bition.

"4. That none of the existing drains in the park
shall be interfered with so as to impede their action.
" 5. That no trees shall be cut or removed without the
previous consent of this board.
"6. That the Commissioners will now state the time
by which they will engage to remove their buildings
from the ground, and in the event of their fooling in the
fUltllaient of such enepgernent, that it shall be compe-
tent for this board to remove the same, to dispose of the
materials, and to apply the produce in reimbursement of
the exponses incurred in such removal.
" 7. That when the building shall have been removed,
this board shall reimtate the ground in its present con-
dition, and that the Commissioners of the Eahibition
ishatk4efray the expense of such reinstatement.

erected round the space proposed to be appropriated for
the building; but we forbear from pressing this as a
condition, the more especially as we think it will be ob-
viously for the interest of the Commissioners that such a
precaution should be adopted.

THE SUN, LONDON,

Mr. HILDYARD presented a petition from a place in I
Cumberland against the Jews Bill.
Mr. HAYTER presented a petition from Glastonbury
against the present postal arrangement; also petitions
from various parts of the metropolis in favour of the
Marriage Bill.
MERCANTILE MARINE BILL.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Mercantile Marine Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair.
On the interpretation clause being proposed,
Mr. WAWN moved to strike out the words after
"man," for the purpose of adding "and the ports
of the continent of Europe, situate between 48
and 63 degrees of north latitude." His object in
the amendment was to give the same facilities to
ships in the Baltic trade as was already given to other
vessels.
Mr.LABOUCHERE felt bound to oppose the amend-
ment, because its object was to alter the definition of
the coasting trade which was to be found in existing
Acts of Parliament.
After a short discussion the amendment was nega-
tived without a division.
The interpretation clause was then agreed to.
Clauses 3,4, 5, 6 were also agreed to.
clause 7.

Mr. MOFFATT proposed to omit the word•, "in
ships ordinarily employed as foreign going ships."
Mr. LABOUCHERE objected to the amendment.
He thought that there would be no difficulty in the
practical working of the clause.
A somewhat lengthened conversation took place in
which Mr. Moffett, Mr. Wawn, Mr. Anderson, Mr.
Cardwell, and Mr. Labouchere took part.
The gallery 'was then cleared for a division, when
there appeared—
For the amendment ...
Against it
Majority ... •••
Clause 7 was then agreed to.
Clauses from 8 to 17 inclusive, after a short discussion,
was then agreed to.
On clause 18, which gives power to the Board of Ex-
aminers to give certificates of competency to the com-
manders of merchantmen, some discussion arose as to
whether or no it would be right to impose upon the
examiners the duty to inquire into-the moral character
of the candidates for certificates, with the view to deprive
habitual drunkards of the means of obtaining the degree.
Mr. LABOUCHERE ultimately put a stop to the
discussion by promising to reconsider the whole subject
of the clause, and see if it could be so framed as to meet
the point which had been raised.
Mr. HILDYARD told the Committee that many old
masters of merit, who had long had the charge of ships,
would decline to submit to the examination provided
for by this Bill, and he therefore hoped the Committee
would have no objection to insert a proviso exempting
masters who had already attained a certsin elevation in
the merchant service from the examination. He pro-
posed the insertion cf words providing that the exami-
nation should not apply to parties who, for five years
previous to the passing of the Act, had been entrusted
with the command of vessels.

THE FACTORIES BILL.

Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this
Bill. He thought it better that they should take in the
Committee on Monday next the discussion on the only
point connected with the measure on which there could
be any difference of opinion among them.
After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND and
Lord WHARNCLIFFE, .

Lord FEVERSHAM said he believed that a very
strong feeling prevailed throughout the manufacturing
districts that if that Bill were passed in its present shape
a breach of faith would be committed against the work-
ing classes in those districts. He had himself presented
several petitions from operatives expressing that ►iew of
the subject. In their opinion Parliament would not
keep faith with them if, in passing a mere declaratory
Act to amend an accidental error in a preceding measure,
it were to alter that measure and to extend the hours of
labour from 58 to 60 hours in each week.
Lord KINNAIRD said he believed that the decision
to which the operatives had come upon the subject was,
that they would prefer a ten hours Bill, but that they
would sooner see the present measure carried than that
no legislation should take place upon the question in the
course of this session. He should have petitions to that
effect to present to their Lordships.
The Bill was then read a second time, with the under-
standing that the discussion on it should be taken in
Committee on Monday Uext, _

GERMANY.

A sitting of the College of Princes was held at
Berlin on the sth, The negotiations with the view to
a new interim have completely failed.
The Austrian army is to be reduced by 80,000 men
of infantry and artillery.
The French Journal des Dibats publishes the fol-
lowing correspondence from Vienna on the subject of
the relations subsisting between Austria and Russia.
It is dated June 30th :

" For some time past the Government appears to 83-
sumo a more independent attitude towards Russia; and
the opinion that the co-operation of the Czar in the pa-
cification of Hungary no longer exercises any influence
on the Cabinet of the Court of Vienna gains ground
more and more every day. The negotiations which will
shortly be opened on the subject of the renewal of the
convention entered into in P 340 for ten years between
Austria and Russia, relative to the navigation of the
Danube, will be the means of testing the accuracy of
this idea. Taking advantage of the ignorance of the
Turkish diplomatists, and the carelessness of the Aus-
trian Ministry, Russia, in 1828, obtained for herself by
the treaty of Constantinople the Soulina branch of the
Danube, the only navigable one of that river, and in
1833 sbe by the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi made herselt
mistress of the Bosphorus. By the convention of 1840,
Austria sought to remedy her previous oversight by in.
sisting on Russia clearing the Soulina branch of the
Danube of the sandbanks with which the navigation was
impeded ; but, notwithstanding the solemn engage-
ments stipulated, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh al-
lowed all the obstacles to the navigation to con-
tinue, and even to increase to such a degree that it
became totally impracticable for large vessels, and even
small ones were obliged to land their cargoes in Russian
entrepot', and, after passing over the shallows, re-ship
them at another place. Russia hoped by this
means to close the river to every other power,
and thus the commerce of the rest of Europe,
as well as that of Austria with the Danubian provinces,
and the steam navigation of that power supplying Tran-
sylvania and Hungary, would no longer exist, and
Russia would have undoubted sway in the Black Sea,
on the Bosphorus, and to Constantinople. Wallachia,
and Moldavia, whose independence and prosperity de-
pend on their commercial relations by the Danube,
would henceforth become part of the empire of the
Czars. It has been therefore decided on by the Austrian
Cabinet to impose, as the first condition of the renewal
of the convention of 1840, the immediate execution of
the measures for clearing the navigation of the Soulina,
and the abolition of the quarantine, and the other
cbstaclee, which Russia makes as the pretext for
closing the river. The negotiations which are about to
be opened on this subject interest, not only Austria, but
all the other maritime powers, and the Cabinet of Vienna
appears inclined to adopt a policy which will be in no
way pleasant to Russia."

Georgians Hall, praying for a divorce. She had married
a person named Hail clandestinely, but the marriage
had never been consummated. Her husband bad sub-
sequently married another person in France. She had
obtained a divorce a mensd et thoro, and she now prayed
for a divorce.

Eirl GREY presented a petition from the Town
Council of Newcastle, in favour of the immediate
rescinding of the order prohibiting Post-office Sunday
deliveries.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Todmorden in favour of a real Ten Hours Act.

Lord BROUG II AM had felt it his duty to oppose the
original Bill as a mischievous interference between the
employ er and the employed, but he would not take any
un'air advantage, and he thought it would be most un-
just not to correct the inadvertent slip which bad been
made.

HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.

On the order of the day for the committal of this

Bill, _
The Earl of LONSDALE moved, as an amendment,
that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee,
to inquire and report whether the- preliminary forms
directed by the Public Health- AO, 11 and 12 Vict.,
c. 63, to be observed on confirming provisional or-
ders" by Parliament, have in the case of the Bill been
duly observed.
The Earl of WARWICK supported the amendment.
The Earl of CARLISLE said he- felt under the ne-
cessity of opposing the proposal of the Noble Earl. He
believed that the adoption of that proposal would lead to
unnecessary delay, and would in that way defeat the
purposes of the measure. He had further to observe,
that no distinct case of abuse bad -been stated, which
could justify the appointment of the proposed Commit-
tee. The measure was viewed with approbation by all
the places to which it was to be applied, and they had
made application that no further delay should take place
in its passing. .
After a few words from Lord REDESDALE and the
Marquis of SALISBURY,
The (louse divided, and the numbers were—
For going into Committee ... ... 47
Against it ... 11

The Bill then passed through Committee.

he thought would be necessary to make the measure more
perfect.
Lord CAMPBELL said, considering the office he had
the honour to hold, he thought it would not be out of
the way if he should make some few observations on a
Bill which was so important to the administration of
justice. Ho had been in favour of the County Courts
Bill. He thought it might be very beneficial to extend its
powers ; but at the same time he confessed he should
have been better satisfied to see how that Bill worked,
and where it might be extended.—(Hear, hear.) But
as the opinion of the country appeared strong in favour
of the present measure, he felt no wish to oppose the mo-
tion for the second reading. Ele thought it might be
extended beneficially so far as the amount of debt re-
coverable. But so far as actions of tort were concerned,
he would warn their Lordships against any rash ex-
tension of a summary jurisdiction to the County
Courts. There were actions of seduction, of
slander, of assault and battery, and other cases
in which the suit could not be reasonably
carried on without a written declaration on the part
of the plaintiff. It was common to speak of the un-
certainty of legal proceedings, and of the dilatori-
ness of the law. But ho could tell their Lordships
that nine-tenths of the time of the judges was spent in
trying to put a construction upon ill-made Acts of Par-
liament.—(Hear and laughter.) With respect to ques-
tions of common law there was no such time lost. He
had no objection to extend the jurisdiction of the Act
with respect to debts, but he cautioned their Lordships
against extending it in actions of tort. He did not
think he should be able to be present at the discussion
of any future stages of the Bill, but he felt confident
their Lordships would give it all the attention which it
demanded at their hands.

Lord BEAUMONT, in reply, said that it was parti-
cularly in actions of tort that the benefit of the exten-
sion of the Bill would be mainly found.
The Bill was then read a second time.
BENEFICES IN PLURALITY BILL.

Lord LY rTELTON moved that the House should go
into Committee on the above Bill.
Their Lordships accordingly resolved themselves into
Committee, the Earl of SHAMTESEURY presiding.
A clause was proposed by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and also by the Bishop of Oxford. Amendments
were proposed by Lord Lyttelton, Earl Powis, Lord
Redesdale, and other Noble Lords and Right Rev. Pre-
lates, and after a long and desultory discussion, the Bill
passed through Committee, and was ordered to be re-
ported, with amendments, to-morrow (this day).

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1850.

Having been so decisively defeated on the second
reading of the County Courts Extension 13111' the
Government have acted judiciously in relinquishing
any further direct opposition to the principle of that
most salutary rnea,ure. e fear, however, that
there is still a strong inclination to neutralize the
advantages to be derived therefrom, and to prevent
the attainment of cheap and expeditious justice. If
some of the suggestions that were offered should
be: adopted, the new law, in place of being regarded
az h boon to the community, would speedily be looked
nl3Oll in a very different light, and be considered as
a curse rather than a blessing by the great body of
the people.

. -
One of the most valuable provisions of the Act
demands
for
the more easy recovery of small debts and
was that which empowered the judge to
make orders
•
for the payment of the debt at any future time or by
instalments. lie was enabled to inquire into the cir-
cumstances of the defendant, to ascertain whether he
required, and was deserving of, any indulgence; and,
in cases where, after a strict and searching investiga-
tion into his resources, and the mode in which the debt
wascontracted, he might, if he thought proper, extend
a certain degree of protection to the honest but unfor-
tunate debtor, and prevent an exasperated creditor
from gratifying his malicious and dictive feelings,
to his own serious injury, and thenabsolute ruin of
his victim. One of the greatest objections to the
principle of " arrest for debt," in cases where it now
exists, is, that it makes the creditor judge in his
own case. No opportunity is permitted of dis-
covering whether the defendant is really deserving
of punishment, or whether his default arose through
unavoidable misfortunes, from causes Wholly beyond

GERMANY.

The Universal German Grzette, under date of
Frankfort, 29th ult., tays :--" We learn that the
interim has been prolonged from the Ist May
next. Prussia would not consent to confide
the direction of the affairs of the Confederation to
a Congress - of - Plenipotentiaries of the German
Governments, as had been proposed. In order,
therefore, to prevent all difficulties, the interim is to
continue for sometime longer. With regard to the steps
to be taken to arrive at the settlement of the German
Constitution, it is said that Austria will assume the
initiative. The German Governments will be invited to
send plenipotentiaries to Frankfort, whose only busi-
ness will be to deliberate on a new form to be given
to the Confederation, in taking into consideration the
Cony:Alt:on of Munich of the 27th February. The
Central Federal Commission is maintained in its
functions for two months."

The Cologne Gazette has the following, under date of
Berlin, 29th ult. :—" An order of the day has just been
addressed to the army, which has caused a great sensa-

The Bavarian Cabinet has just addressed a note

to the Federal CommiFsion of Frankfort and
to the Courts of Vienna and I32rliP, in which
it states its opinion on the question of the
German Constitution. It declares that it will
refuse its consent to any provisional government

in which Bavaria shall nut have a voice.- As to the
definitive Government, it again comes back to that
of the seven members proposed by the Convention
of Munich, and supports that proposition by the
consent given by Austria, and its analogy to that of
Prussia in 1848.

The German Journal of Frankfort, under date ol

Hanover, 27th ult., states that the Ministers hart an
that day received, by the post, a packet from Erfurt,
bearing the seal of the Arbitral Tribunal, The
Ministers refused to open it.

GREECE.

Intelligence has been received from Athens to the
18th ult. At that date the differences with England
continued unsettled ; the Greek Court was intriguing
to gain time, until it should receive from St. Peters-
burgh an answer to its last communication. The Greek
nation admits the justice of the greater part of the
claims of England, and is desirous of coming to
settlement, but the Greek Government,
the inspiration of Russia, interposes every obstac e o
an amicable settlement. acting niidetr
