The recent sales in Ireland under the Encum

bored Estates Commission would afford abundant
evidence, if any were necessary, of the vast im-
portance of providing additional facilities to the
owners of land in that country of procuring the a.d-
vances they might require for the preservation or
improvement of their property. Great sacrifices have
already been made that must prove absolutely ruinous
as well to the unfortunate inheritors as to the unfor-
tunate puisne creditors. - It was distinctly and posi-
tively stated by two Honourable Gentlemen, in
the House of Commons on Tuesday last, during
the discussion on Sir JOUN ROMILLY'S Bill,
that an estate in the ' county of Mayo, the
property of a Mr. MILOUGIILEIN, the annual rental of
which was 400/., bed been sold for 6001., or one-
and-eehe.lf yea's purchase. This statement, incre-
dible as it might appear, was not contradicted ; the
Solicitor-General certainly declared that "he re-
ceived with suspicion the statement that an estate had
been sold for a year-and-a-halrs value, if it were in-
tended to be said that that rent were such as the land
would fairly, set for at the present time." This
doubt, however, can scarcely be weighed
against the distinct and positive assertion of
another gentleman of unimpeached honour and
veracity, who spoke as if well acquainted
with all the facts and circumstances of the case. We
have a clear recollection of having been struck
with astonishment at seeing that certain lands con-
taining more than 7,800 acres had been sold for
ha
6001., the fortunate purchaser beingalaso Mrv. i rETEIt
having the
M'LOuGnLEN, the quondam owner
same patronymic. Full inquiry should, however,
made, that the public may be made fully a
with the real state of facts.

At a more recent sale, however, a further illustra

tion was afforded of the fearful depreciation of
property on the other side of St. George's
Channel: on the very day that the discus-
sion was taking place another sale came off in
Henrietta-street. A perpetual annuity or yearly
rent-charge of 2001. per annum was offered by the
Commissioners to public competition. It had been the
property of a Mr. VERO, and was amply secured on
the lands of Ballyeden, in the county of Wexford,
one of the most prosperous and favourite districts in
Ireland. Whatever might be the embarassments or
difficulties of the present proprietor of these lands,
there can be no doubt that there - was abundant se-
curity for the above annuity, which might be con-
sidered in the nature of a ground, or, as it is
termed in Ireland, a head rent. In ordinary
times such a charge would have brought,
even in Ireland, from 25 to 27 years'
and probably 30 years' purchase in this country. It
was knocked down after a brisk and active competi-
tion, in which several bidders contended for the prize
for 2,9001., or 141 years' purchase! or little more
than one-half its actual value. It is probable that a
property
every respect so eligible would have
in
brought
at least something approaching to a fair price
but for the Bill now before the House. The great
advantages that will be conferrehdyohneiangputrocahbalseedr

ciated capitalists. None, indeed, will come for-

ward until the Bill is disposed of one way or the other,
unless at prices, so mph beneath the actual value as
to amcunt not to fair sales, but actual confiscations."

And such will be the result to all, who do net come
within the jurisdiction of the " Henrietta-street
triumvirate," if the Bill pass in its present partial,
limited, unjust, and restricted form. An unembar-
rassed proprietor will be unable to dispose of a por-
tion of his lands for the improvement of the residue,
or in order to acquire other property, that may be
better situated with respect to his other
estates. He will be practically prohibited
&ern obfaining a loan on almost any terms, for
none will feel disposed to lend their money under the
present system, subjected to all the delays, vexations,
and expenses incidental to a protracted investigation
into title—a verbose and prolix deed of mortgage,
subjected to heavy stamp duty, and the certainty
that, if they should desire to get back their claim by
the transfer of that security, they themselves, in turn,
must submit to similar delays, annoyances, and ex-
penses to those by which the original mortgager
was inconvenienced and mulcted. Contrast with
this the facilities afforded to the debenture
holder, who may receive his security without
the slighest risk or danger—who will not have
to pay a solitary 6s. 2d. fee to his solicitor,
and who may part his debenture with equal ease, and
without the expense of a single shilling, at any mo-
ment, and who, while he chooses to retain it, will only
have to go to the Bank of Ireland, or other place ap-
pointed; for payment, and receive his interest on the
day fixed for the purpose, with certainty, as if it were
a dividend on a similar sum in the public funds. In
one case, the money advanced may be regarded as
" active" and in the other as " dead " capital,
and we need scarcely ask, which would be pre-
ferred? It would, in fact, be easier to obtain money
on one description of security at three per cent.
than it would on the other at five per cent. This, as
we have already stated, is neither just or equitable,
and we can never believe that the Imperial Parlia-
ment will sanction such grievous injustice upon the
existing proprietary of Ireland, a class already
deeply injured by the legislation of the last few years.
On this part of the subject we invite the attention
of cur readers to a second communication from an
esteemed correspondent, Mr. C. 11. BOWEN. That
gentleman is fully aware of the great advantages that
would be conferred upon his country by a general
measure similar to the one to which we are now al-
luding. He it was who first directed the public
attention to the beneficial results of the
" Prussian Landschafts," or " Mortgage Banks,"
and their extraordinary effect in restoring the
national prosperity when that country was involved
in difficulties similar to those under which Ireland is
now suffering. He also published an admirable scheme
for the establishment of mortgage banks in his native
land—a suggestion which we hope to see speedily car-
ried into full operation. Mr. BOWEN pertinently
inquires what would have been the feeling in England
if the Government had brought forward in the autumn
of 1847 " a Bill enabling the Bank of England to
relax its rules in favour of a particular section of a
particular class of merchants, and that in such a man-
ner as would necessarily increase the pressure on the re-
maining portion of the mercantile interest ?" What re-
ception would auch legislation have met with ? Would
it have been tolerated for a single moment ? Certainly
not. But that is the mode in which it is proposed
to deal with the owners of unencumbered estates in
Ireland ! !

We are happy to find that Mr. BOWEN has pub-
lished a second edition of his valuable pamphlet, to
which we have already referred, although under a
different title.* It will well repay perusal.

CABINET Coln/cm--A Cabinet Council was held
this afternoon, at two o'clock, at the Foreign-office.
There were present Lord John Russell, the Marquis
of Clanricarde, the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of
Minto, Earl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George
Grey, Sir John Hobhouse, Sir Francis T. Baring,
the Right lion. H. Labouchere, and the Right Hon.
Fox Maule. The Lord Chancellor was absent through
indisposition. The Ministers were sitting when we
went to press.

NR. ANDERSON'S BENEFIT AT DRURY-LANE.—
The complimentary benefit to Mr. James Anderson takes
place this evening at Drury-lane Theatre. The performances
are the Lady of Lyons, and the magnificent spectac'e The
Devil's Ring. During the course of the evening an ad-
dress, written expressly for the occasion by Joseph Lunn,
Esq., will be spoken by Mr. Vandenhoff. We
trust that the lovers of the legitimate drama will do their
duty on this occasion, and muster in:great force to show their
respect to one who has not been content to do mere lip-
worship to our glorious drama, but who has exerted himself
ably and actively, and who has not scrupled to incur heavy
pecuniary loss in his praiseworthy attempt to revive a taste
ibr the most national of all our amusements.
POST-OFFICE AREANGEMENTS.—It has at length
been finally determined that the sorting duty necessary for
forwarding letters through London on Sundays shall be per-
formed in railway carriages, and that such duty shall com-
mence next Saturday night. The necessary instructions have
just been issued from the General Post-office to the pro-
vincial postmasters for that purpose. All letters that can
possibly be sent on to their destinations on blank days,
otherwise than through London, have been ordered to be
sent through country offices, so that all the duties which
will have to be performed in the railway carriages will be
the sorting of the stamped letters which'are posted in country
offices, which cannot possibly reach their destination except
by passing through London. As mentioned some time since,
the
,railway sorting clerks will only have to perform road or
divisional sorting, and will not make up bags for every office.
This latter duty will be performed by the principal forward-
ing offices, on the railway lines, and hence the reason why
the number of offices which corresponded direct with London
on Saturday nights was diminished some time since. The
true cause of the diminution was explained at the time,
while other journals declared that the object was to deceive
the public. The railway sorting will be done by London
Post-office clerks, who will proceed to the provincial termini
every Saturday, to work the up mails to London on Saturday
nights.—Morning Paper.

THE WEATHER. —At the Royal Observatory,
Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week
was 29,425 in. The mean daily reading of the thermometer
was highest on Sunday, when it was 54.4 deg., and lowest
on Saturday, when it was 46'2 deg. ; the mean temperature
of the week was 49•5 deg., or 5 deg. higher than the average
of the same week in 7 years. The mean temperature was
throughout the week higher than the average, and on Sun-
day was higher by 9.5 deg., and on Monday by 8.5 deg.
DETERMINED SUICIDE AT LADY VERNON'S.--At
an early hour this morning, the establishment of LaCy
Vernon, No. 5, Upper Belgrave-street, Belgrave-square, was
thrown into a state of consternation, upon its being dis-
covered that Susan White, her Ladyship's housekeeper, had
committed suicide. It appears that the unfortunate woman,
who is about 38 years of age, has but recently left the service
of Lady Barrington, where she had been some time, and she
had only been at Lady Vernon's five days, during which
time she had not shown any despondency or peculiarity of
manner. Shortly after seven o'clock this morning, the house-
maid knocked repeatedly at her room door, but was unable
to obtain an answer, and the door being fastened inside some
alarm was created, and police-constable 151 B, who was on
duty in the street was called into the house, when her room
door was burst open, and the unfortunate woman was found
lying on the floor with a cord tied tightly round her neck,
the ends of which she had bold of in both hands.. There
was a quantity of blood on the floor, which had escaped from
a wound in her throat, and another across the fleshy part of
the left arm, which had been inflicted with a desert knife.
In a few minutes Mr. Wilmot, of Eaton-place, surgeon, ar-
rived, and pronounced her to have been dead some hours,
and that she had died from strangulation.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, APRIL 16.—The
arrival of the American steamer early this morning, bringing
news of an advance in cotton, on the other side, together with
intelligence of an unfavourable nature respecting the crop,
has sent up the Liverpool Cotton Market fully %d. per lb.
Its effect upon our market has been to render spinners and
manufacturers firm in demanding an equivalent advance on
all articles. This has materially checked business to-day,
and very little has been done, save for the supply of
present wants.

THE DEANERY OF SALISBURY.—This preferment
has been conferred by the Premier on the Rev. Henry Parr
Hamilton, M.A., the author of a recent able defence of the
Committee of Privy Council on Education against the at-
tacks of the Tractarian pary. Mr. Hamilton was formerly
of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1816,
being tenth on the list of wranglers for that year. He is the
author of a work on the Principles of
.Analytical Geometry,
and also of an Analytical System of Conic Sections. The ap-
pointment is highly creditable to tke Government, which, if
it means to secure the good-will of the friends of progress,
must, in other instances, as it has in this, select their ob-
jects of patronage, not from an aristocratic clique or family
and official connexion, as has recently been too much the
case, but from those who render to the public such services
as Mr. Hamilton has done by his recent valuable pamphlet.
Mr. Hamilton is Rector of Wath, in Yorkshire, to which
valuable preferment he was presented by the last Marquis of
Aylesbury.

On Sunday morning last, April 14, a sermon was
preached at St. James's, Holloway, by bis Grace the Lord
Archbishop of Canterbury, in aid of the funds of the Hollo-
way Ragged School. His Grace took for his text the 113th
Psalm, verses Gth and 7th—" He taketh up the si.nple out
of the dust, and lifteth the poor out of the mire, that lie
may set him with the princes, even with the princes of his
people," and in an eloquent discourse set forth the claims of
this truly Christian undertaking. We rejoice to hail his
Grace's sanction thus publicly shown to a work through
whose instrumentality, under Providence, we may look for
the restoration of what now appears the most abandoned
portion of society. The collection at the dtrr amounted to
upwards of 50/. We ascertained from the honorary secretary
Mr. Aldrich, that ground has already been purchased, and'
that 900/. are still required to complete the building of the
school. We feel assured that in so good a cause the inhabi-
tants of Holloway, and the public in general, will soon place I
this stun in the hands of the treasurer,

The sales of Cotton at I:'• ,r 'eel yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,200
American were taken for import, and 500 on specula-
tion. The market was quiet but firm. The sales com-
prised 3,500 American; 600 Pernam and Maranham, at
6#(l. to Bd.; 100 Bahia, at 6a ).; and 1,000 Surat, at
40. to sd. per lb.—Railway Shares were greatly de-
pressed, and the quotations were much lower.
The letters and papers received yesterday afternoon
by the Niagara steamer supply the following informa-
tion upon that most important subject the cotton crop—
Mr. T. J. Stewart, in his circular, stating :—" The crop
proves to be a short one, and if measured by the ability
of the world to consume, the shortest one since '4l-'42.
The falling off in the receipts regularly exceeds the pro-
gressive estimate I made some time since, and on which
I made up my table of 2,100,000,ba1e5. It will close under
two millions of bales ; Low, far below I cannot at prey
sent say, but the interior of the country is exhausted
' of supplies to so great a degree, that it is evident
that such a figure is totally impracticable. This proves to
be one of the few seasons that the estimates of judicious
observers bare been regularly reduced, duringDecewber,
January, and March, without any let up whatever. Tho
ratio of the delivery to the amount gleaned has been
about 6 pc r cent. in excess of the short crop season of
'46-'47. During Noverater last 2,300,000 bales was
thought a low estimate, and 2,500,000 bales was hoped for.
In my circular of 233 January, in advising my friends
to abandon any estimate over 2,100,000 bales, and to
form their plans of business on a possibility of less,
I assigned as my reasons fur such a conclusion, the
fact of being placed in possession of evidence that
the autumn, favourable to a degree as it had seemed,
had not counteracted the tendency of the plant, during
the summer, to run into stalk, and that the top bolls
throughout, on being submitted to the ginning prccess,
yielded less fibre, and a greater weight of seed—in
other words, the autumn saved, but did nut make;
2,2001bs of seed cotton in many cases being used up to
furnish a bale of 5001bs, whereas 1,40011,s is usually
deemed sufficient. The top crop is always deceptive;
soon after the fall cf the leaf, late in the season, it
is difficult for overseers to estimate the products,
within 15 per cent.; and yet several agents of English
houses, whirling through the country by stages and by
railroads, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, on the
route to their stations, in January, authorised state-
moats by circulars and notices in the English papers,
that ' the crop in the fields was enormous, and fully
equal to that of the past year.' And such was not the
actual appearance ; even to verdant parties it can only
be accounted for on the supposition that their object was
to aff, et prices by a general combination of misstatements.
The estimates made by me for the past four years have
proved in their result so uniformly accurate, I hope I
have been instrumental in guiding the operations of my
correspondents, in view of the great rise which must
ensue when the fact is generally known that the crop
when weighed off will prove smaller than the figures
indicate, as the deficiency of the receipts of New Orleans
is of,Louisia:a and Mississippi growth, always heavy
bales; and that Mobile will not exceed 325,000 bales
inste te.l of 519,000 bales delivered last year, and it is
well known that from that section we derive our heaviest
bales. For the planting of the next crop the
prospect as yet is very unfavourable. A large
body of land at the great South-West is now
under water, and it is probable that the mild winter
will hasten the melting of the snows of the Upper Mis-
sissippi and the Missouri, and the rise., which generally
comes eut of these rivers in May, be down upon us this
i month before the freshets from the Ohio, Red River,
&c.,can Fats off. The falling off; by last mail dates,
accurately compared with the same dates lest season, is
402,000 bales; by telegraph last night, 458,000 bales.
Whatever the figure of the crop may be, the mills
north cf this city will consume 575,000 bales of it—the
southern mills 25,000 from the pits in addition to
what they take from the interior, not counted
in the crop, Holders here appear aware cf the im-
poverished condition of European spinners, and
arc disposed to await their calls. A small amount was
sold, for three days after the arrival of the Niagara, at
a decline of half a cent; since each day prices have ad-
vacced, and now stand i cent buoyant over those per
Canada. Sales last week 2,500 daily, chiefly on specu-
lation."

Accounts of January 12 horn Hobart Town are
occupied with matters of purely local interest, Sir
William Denison's treatment of Chief Justice Peld,!r,
whom ha had requested to resig❑ owing to some differ-
ence of opinion upon political points. Wheat was de-
pressed, being 3s. per bushel. A Sydney journal states
that the Wheat crop was scarcely worth reaping.
Mauritius papers of Feb. 22 have been received, and
report that the colony was in much the same condi-
tion as previously, and with improving prospects.
At Amsterdam, on the 15th instant, Dutch Stock was
in moderate request. Spanish Bonds were active. PL.-
ruvian in request. Mexican flat.
The meeting of Spanish Bondholders is now being held.
The English Funds are rather firmer. Consols have
been done at 95i to 954 for Transfer, and 951 to i for
Account. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents.
have been done at 964 to 96j, and the Reduced Three
per Cents. at 94i to :`,l. Bank Stock is 205 to 207. Ex-
chequer bills have be en 68s. to 70s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the principal dealings have
been in Mexican, owing to the reported intelligence that
the remittance for the dividends will be about 80,000
dollars. The prices have advanced to 29 and 291. In-
teresting news is also said to be in town respecting a
proposed settlement of the debt. Spanish Bonds
have been 18i for the Five per Centr., and 37i for the
Three per Cents. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been 32 to 34. Brazil Stock is 87 to 1, and Pt ruvian
Active 70 to 71. Dutch Tw•o-and-a-Half per Cents have
been 55i to 56 ; Four per Cents. at 85k.
The Railway Share Market continues dull. The
Stock Exchange committee have adopted an important
resolution, v'ss., to compel parties to deliver shares on
the account day for which they were sold, and not a
fortnight after. The frightful extent of Bearing, pro-
moted by the sales of joint-stock banks which had made
loans, is the cause of this step.
