MISSION.

Mr. ROSS said the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel)
would recollect the question put to him the other night
by the Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley) to know
whether he had any objection to place some tenant-
farmers on the Landlord and Tenant Commission, in order
to dissipate the suspicions which undoubtedly in some
quarters attached tt,it. When the Right Hon. Baronet
expressed his doubts whether such tenant-farmers could
be found to undertake the duty, he (Mr. Ross) had been
of opinion that plenty could be found. The next morn-
ing he (Mr. Ross) had received information which satisfied
him that in the west and south of Ireland plenty of
tenant-farmers, with rents varying from 2,000 L to 4001.,
or 300/., could be found willing to undertake the duty.
The Right Hon. Baronet expressed an inclination rather
to yield to the wishes so expressed by the Hon. Member
for Finsbury. The question he wished to put was,

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FEB. 11.—For some time after the adjournment
of the Court last night, or rather this morning, crowds con-
tinued in the neighbourhood; but their demeanour was most
peaceable, although deep anxiety was manifest upon every
countenance.

During this forenoon there were considerable crowds in the
vicinity of the Court of Queen's Bench. The doors of the
court-yard were closed, and parties of police were stationed
in various places around the building.
Previous to the adjournment of the Court this morning,
Mr. Justice Crampton mentioned to the jury that the best
apartment in the Court should be assigned for their accom-
modation until Monday morning. It was supposed that the
jurors would be conveyed to a parish church adjacent to the
Court ; but this arrangement was abandoned, and a clergy-
man of the Established Church (the jury being all Protes-
tants) officiated this forenoon in the room allotted to the jury.
Yesterday afternoon and last night there was a very need-
less parade of military. The 34th Foot were under arms for
some time in the Castle-yard, and the gates to the passage
from Castle-street to Ship-street were closed.
Much difference of opinion prevails as 'to the course to be
pursued by the Crown in regard to applying for judgment
against the traverser;. It is said that the Crown Counsel
themselves are not quite clear upon the point as to their
right to obtain immediate judgment upon sentence.
Mr. O'Connell visited the Corn Exchange about two o'clock,
and seemed in excellent health and spirits. It is stated that
Mr. O'Connell intends to start for London at once, to be in
jioispu Russell's

THE GAME-LAWS.

Mr. BRIGHT moved for a return of the number of
persons who had offended against the game-laws, and
had been convicted at the several sessions throughout
England and Wales during-the year 384.3, specifying
the punishment and penalties inflicted, and in -what
county and upon whose property the alleged offence was
committed.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished to know whether the
Commission upon the la,nl tenure in Ireland was in-
structed to report generally upon the subject, or to re-
port upon only one branch of it, and if so, was that par-
ticular branch left to their own discretion?

Sir J. GRAHAM, who spoke in an extremely low
tone of voice, was understood to sad• that the nature of
the Report was left wholly to the discretion of the Com-
mission.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Her Majesty's theatre re-opened on Tuesday for the
post-paschal season. The opera was I Puritani, with
Grisi as Elvira, Mario as Arturo, Lab'ache as Georjio,
and Fornasari as Ricciardo. It was the first appearance
of these favourite artistes this season ; they were received
most enthusiastically. Fornasari, notwithstanding the
reports w hich have been in circulation as to the unsatis-
factory state of his health,looked exceedirglywel and sang
deliyhtfully ; we never heard him in b• tter voice. La-
blache, too, appears to hare completely recovered from the
severe i'.dispositiou under which he was labouring
during the winter. Never have we heard the magnifi-
cent duet, "Suona lit tromba," more magnificently
given. It was, of course, rapturously encored, as was
the charming polacca " Son B ergen vezzosa,"a hich was
exquis,tely given by Grisi. Mario sang his beautiful
seem in the third act with great taste and feeling, and
altogether I Puritani has never been more beautifully
represented than it was last evening. Carlotta Grist,
who has procured an addi:ional conge, appeared in the bal-
let as Esmeralda,and was as graceful and sylph-like as ever.
The house was crowded. Among the company present
were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied
by the Count Kielmansegge, and attend, d by Baron
Knesebeck. The Queen Dowager's box was occupi. d
by the Marquis and Marchioness of ()monde and party.

An important public meeting, which, it Seems, is
, .. the first of a series-announced to take place in the
. : . manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire,
, - was held; on Monday night, in the Music-hall, Lee
in favour of a Ten Hours' Factory Bill. Dr. Hool,:,

. 'that no consideration on earth should prevent him
from hiking an active and decided part in the fierce
. ; struggle now in progress between humanity, on the
•- one band, and self-interest, on the other. "I should
be unworthy of the post I occupy in this parish," re-
warked the reverend gentleman, "if I permitted any
, . . feeling of reluctance on my part to oppose her MA-
JESTY'S Government to prevent, by being among you

process, upon making a full disclosure and surrender of such estate
and effects, for payment of my just and lawful debts; and I hereby
further give notice, that the time when the matter of the said petition

THE PARISIAN E'EN

The Parisian Venus, nOw on exhibition at the
Cosmoratna-rooms, Regent-street, is .an exquiAely
dissected wax model of the human body.-- It is the
size of life, and as a work of art is per:ectly unique.
On first entering the room the attention is at,trac ed
to what appears to be a beautiful etatue, lying in a
recumbent posture. The proprietor of the exhiiition,
who is in attendance, then removes the integument,
and the superficial muscles, vessels, and nerves ere
brought into view—layer,after layer is removed until
the minute organisation of the limiest recesseS of ti-e
human frame is demonstrated. The viscera end
brain are removed . from the body and subjected to
the same process,: so that by the inspection of this
model a more perfect general idea of the structure of
the human frame may be acquired in a few minutes-
than could be acquired by the study of books end-
plates during a aeries of years. As a work of art it
is unique, while its accuracy in a sekntitie point of
view is beyond all praise. As a proof of the (*si-
tuation in which it is held, we niay mention the fact
that the Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to
sanction its importation free of duty as an, in:Artunent
of education.

FOOT HURDLE RACE BETWEEN JENKINSON

AND SMITH.

The two greatest runners of the day yesterday con-
tended in a race of 300 yards, with 15 hurdles. The
contest was for 401., the ground selected being the Bee-
hive, at Walworth. They effected a good start, and
went off at a rattling pace, side by side, over the first
three or four hurdles ; the Stag then jumped a head,
closely waited upon by his opponent, who in turn took
up the running ; it was a great race, in which neither
party could get away, and on coming to the last hurdle
the men took it together, or, if there was a shaduw of
difference, the Stag having it, and both touched the
ground, after the leap, at the same instant. Both de-
clared they had won, but the referee, whose great ex-
perience in these matters well qualified him for the post,
declared that, owing to the pressure around him, and the
closeness of the struggle, it was impossible for him to
determine who had touched the ground first, and that it
must necessarily be considered' a dead heat. In this
opinion he was confirmed by the best judges and most
unprejudiced persons on the ground. The stakes will
be accordingly drawn.
HAMPTON SPRING RACES.—We understand the time
for starting on Friday at these races has been altered

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL il, 1844.

Mr. RowLAND HILL will be remembered by the
British public hereafter, as among the most prac- 1
tical of its benefactors. His bold conception of a
plan of Post-office reform—followed out, as it has
been, with remarkable sagacity and invincible perse-
verance, to the establishment of a general penny post,
in lieu of that expensive, vexatious, and ill-arranged
scheme which had been 60 long tolerated under the
authority of Tory prescription ; his well-sustained
conflict with an official department, strong in a spe-
cies of administrative monopoly, and supercilious, if
not arrogant, in the tone of all its previous communi-
cations with private individuals or public bodies;
naust be accounted very signal efforts of a vigorous
talent for business. It would be great injustice to the
merits of this gentlemen to forget the long-established
, lnduence and credit of the Post-office direction, whose
management he impugned,
portant details he exposed,
whose ignorance of ini-
t. whose desire to consult
. and accommodate the convenience of the public he
