SALE OF POISONS.

Mr. STAFFORD drew the attention of the Govern-
ment to the subject of the frequent occurrence of murder
by means of poison, and asked when a Bill would be
brought in to restrain the sale of poisons?
Sir G. GREY said there was considerable difficulty
in framing h schedule of poisons to be referred to in any
Act of the kind, and it was not the intention of the Go-
vernment to lay a Bill on the subject on the table this
session.

STAMP DUTIES BILL.
Mr. MULLINGS asked the Chanceller of the Ex-
chequer wriether it was his intention to proceed with the
Stamp Duties Bill, as at present framed, during this ces-
sion of Parliament; and if not, whether ho will endea-
vour to pass the Bill in this session in a modified form,
so as to repeal the duties now payable as for a bargain
and sale, or lease for a year, and for livery of seisin
on feoflments, and upon admissions to copyholds, con-
sequent on grants or surrenders made on sales and
ni !I tgagos, and for removing the doubts and difficulties
as to the proper stamp duty payable on transfers of mor-
gages, and farther charges and additional mortgage se-
curities ?

The CHANCELLOR OF the EXCHEQUER—It
both my iateutton anti my hope to pass the Bill as it
stands

EXTRADITION OF POLITICAL REFUGEES.
Lord D. S'ICART said that ho understood that a
person had been apprehended in Hug, on an application
from the Government of Frankfort, upon the ground that
h.) had been implicated in the murder of Prince Lich-
nawsky and General Auerswatd—that he had been de-
livered up to the Frankfurt Government, and that others
had been likewise (I,:smanded, and not been given up,
solely because they had escaped to America beforehand.
Tne question ho wished to :3,1 was, wheter it was true
tlat any foreigner had been demanded es a criminal by
any of the Governments of Germany; whether they had
in consequence been given up to any Government, or
what answer had been given ta any such demand from
any Government?
Sir G. GREY said he had no information whatever
with respect to the case referred to by the Noble Lord
as having occurred at Hull, aid he had reason to know
that no such case had ever happened. An application
had been made by a foreign Government not long ago
to the Foreign office, for delivering up two persons on
the ground that they were implicated in the murder of
Prince Lichnowaky and General Auerivvald; but as there
was no treaty existing between the British and that Go-
vernment for the extradition of offenders, the answer
that ho had returned was, that the law of this country
did not authorise the extradition of such persons. Ile
m'ght mention that there was no treaty between this
country and any other, txcept France and America,
which authorised this country giving up persons charged
with crime.

President of the College of Princes:—
" 'The delay of three weekr, primarily fixed for the

proposed by the Prussian Cabinet); the Government of

accomplish his desire to overcome every difficulty
which relates simply to form, has resolved to
submit a suitable proposition to his confederates.

In February IA an order was given by the Go-
vernment to allow the luggage of passengers and
small parcels of merchandise for Paris arriving by
the ports of Calais, Boulogne, Havre, and
Dieppe, to proceed without being examined
until their arrival in the capital, but a
condition was annexed to the order that the wag-
gon in which this luggage and merchandise were
conveyed should be accompanied by two custom-
house officers. The Director-General of the Cus-
toms has just abolished this restriction, on the ground
that a verification of the way-bill will be sufficient to
show that no abstraction has taken place on the route.

SEWERS.

Mr. D'EYNCOURT asked for some information with
respect to the statements which had been made in two
petitions lately presented, on the condition of the sewers
south of the Thames.

Lord EBRINGTON wished the question to be post-
poned for the present, as the statements referred to were
too well founded. The consideration of the drainage
south of the Thames had occupied the Commissioners
that very day, but they came to no conclusion owing to
the absence of three most important members of the
commission, Messrs. Rendel, Stephenson, and Peto.
However, on Monday they expected to see them in town,
and if the Hon. Gentleman would postpone his question
to Tuesday or Wednesday ho would be able to give him
a satisfactory answer.

There was a dashing start, immediately after which
yellow and black made capital play for a few seconds;
stripes, who hardly appeared to have at first got so well
to work as the others, challenged them off the Star and
Garter, and rowed gallantly in advance. Yellow and
black made some determined efforts to overhaul them,
instead of which they found themselves very closely
waited upon by green, who, after a sharp spurt, took the
second place, off the 'Ugh Bridge or just about it. The
winners maintained their lead, and came in first about
five lergr,hs. There was nearly the same distance be-
tween use second and third. Yellow and black had, be-
fore the heat was started, divided the sporting interest
with the winners, each party being backed by their ad-
mirers to some extent. The award of to-day was a
purse of sovereigns, prizes being given to the whole of
those in the grand host according to their position.

ROBBERY OF NEWSPAPERS.

We wish the Post-office authorities would look a
little more sharply after the due and proper delivery
of newspapers entrusted to their special care.
Scarcely a day has passed for the last month that we
have not had complaints of missing papers. To such
an extent has the evil increased that several of our
subscribers now threaten to discontinue. The fault
is not ours, but we are to suffer for the evil doings of
others! We believe the General Post-office uses its
best endeavours ; but, unhappily, without success.
We will give them a hint. Whenever there is a great
sporting event to come off, or any extraordinary ex-
citement in the wind, then be sure the sporting or
•political thieves are doubly on the look out. We
half suspect some of the provincial postmasters, or
their promising helpmates, are a little inclined to
take a peep at the winner of the great race to see if "the
favourite has got it." Now we should not begrudge
the peep if they would but forward the paper to those
who are anxiously waiting with both eyes open to re-
ceive it. One good tiirn surely deserves another, and
in this case something more.

LIVERPOOL PETITION FORGERIES.

Lord BEAUMONT brought up the report of the Com-
mittee on the Liverpool petition forgeries. The report
stated that the Committee were of opinion that due precau-
tion had not taken place, but that there was no evidence to
prove that the parties engaged in fretting up the petition
had abetted the commission of these forgeries, although
there was great carelessness exhibited on the part of the
promoters of the petition, and that they were guilty of
gross neglect.

The report and evidence was ordered to be printed.
Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice that he should on
Thursday draw the attention of the House to this
subject. _ _

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1850.

Yesterday the Danish victory at Idstedt was fol-
lowed up at the Foreign-office in Downing-street by
the signing of the long-expected protocol by the

Plenipotentiaries. That protocol, partially accepted
on the 4th of July, was finally accepted, as we have
obaerved, on the 2d cf August. Those Plenipoten-

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

The Danes have proclaimed martial law in
Schleswig, and are taking every means to fortify
themselves in their position.
A bri,k cannonade in the direction of Kiel was heard
at Hamburgh on the 30Y1 ult. It was supposed to
proceed from an attack by the united Danish and
Russian fleets on the Schleswig-Holstein positions.
Reports have been current of the Danish general
having sent in a flag of truce, demanding a suspen-
sion of hostilities for four days. The case is the re-
verse : it was General WILLISEN who, upon the
evening of thG 26th or 27th, sent in a flag of truce to
the Danish head-quarters, asking for four days' truce,
but which was peremptorily refused by General
KROGH.

Omnibusses are generally consh ucted to hold 15, but some-
how they are made to hold 18, and on a wet night frequently
more than that.—Punch.

POWER. OF APPEARANCES.—The gross of men are
governed more by appearances than by realities, and the im-
pudent man in his air and behaviour undertakes for himself
that he has ability and merit, while the modest or diffident
gives himself up 4 s one who is possessed of neither. For this
reason, men of front tarry things before them with little op-
position, and make their dissatisfaction, do them the same
service as desert. —Eliza Cook's Journal.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, FEB. 2.—The Royal

Philip Mist, B. N., commander, took her departure this
afternoon with the usual British and Foreign West
Indian and Mexican mails, in charge of Lieutenant
South, R.N., Admiralty agent. Herroute is via Ber-
muda, Nassau, Bahamas, Havannah, and Mobile, to
Tampico and Vera Cruz. She took out 58 passengers,

ship Prince Albert, just arrived in the docks from New
York, Lai brought us three packages of cotton seed,
consigned to order. Although the importations of cot-
ton in a raw state from the United States are of so

the seed is not of common occurrence; and, for what-
ever purpose the present arrival of the article may have
taken place, it is of interest.

PUBLIC WOIKS IN IRELAND.

Mr. FRENCH moved for a return of all cases in
which contracts have been made by the Commissioners
of Public Works in Ireland with any person or persons,
for the execution cf works of arterial drainage, or other
works of public utility, under the provisions of the
Act 12 Vic. c. 23; specifying, in each case, whether
tenders were required by public advertisement; and, also,
whether the lowest tender was accepted.—Agreed to.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. E. DENISON wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government what course he intended to
pursue in reference to the Ecclesiastical Commission,
and whether, in the event of his bringing forward any
measure upon the subject, he would have any objection
to introduce rules fur the improved management of
Church lands?

Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the first
questien, he begged to state that a Bill Lad bcea pre-
pared on the subject of the Ecclesiastical
Commission ; but as there was likely to L
a good deal of business in this House, it had
been determined to introduce it first into the House of
Lords, and the Marquis of Lansdowne would present it
this very night. With regard to the second question
respecting Church property, his Honourable Friend was
aware that a Bommission bad been investigating that
subject, and aft.er much discussion and inquiry it had
prepared a report which had already been presented to
her Majesty, and which Government hoped this evening
to be able to present to the House.
London, England, 1850-02-04

FRASER.

Could the author of thePaPe;On the State and Pro-
spects of the Country," in the present number ofFraser,
have foreseen the result of the two divisions on the
Address, he would certainly have greatly modified
the opinions therein expressed. For months past
Fraser has been halting between two opinions, but
has always rather inclined towards free trade; fright-
ened, however, from his propriety by the bellowing of
the Bucolic' (which, as having been admitted for-
merly behind the scenes, he ought to be aware is vox
et, preterea nihil), he ventures to predict "that either
this Parliament or some other will return to a mode-
rate system of protection." The day on which that
prediction was uttered the House of Lords rejected,
by a majority of 49, the Protectionist amendment to
the Address, and on the day following the
House of Commons, by a majority of 119,
rejected a similar amendment. We differ
from the author of the paper "On the Drain-
age, of the Metropolis." lie would still permit
the sewage to run into the Thames, we, on the other
hand, contend that no proposal for drainage can be
admissible which does not preserve the Thames free
from pollution. The interesting story of " The
Dom of Dantzic " is concluded ; as are the ad-
mirable " Sketches of North Devon." We have
a review of Mr. Bright's Opinions on Ireland,
which are, of course, unequivocally condemned by
the aristocracy-loving Fraser, an admirable review
by " Morgan Rattler" of Mr. Curnwalle Lewis's,
" Essay on the influence of Authority in Matters of
Opinion," an exquisitely beautiful Lyric "On the
Battle of Alliwal," besides several other papers of
interest.

NEW MONTHLY.
A poem, " Jaffar," by Leigh Hunt, contained in
the opening pages of the New Monthly, is gracefully
inscribed to the memory of Shelley, thus:—
" Shelley, take this to thy dear memory;—
To praise the generous is to think of thee."
Horace Smith's tale of " Leve at First Sight" is con-
cluded after the fashion of " all's well that ends well."
The drowned lady whose sad fate was recounted last
month was not the heroine, but her sister. The pro-
posed communications between the Atlantic and the
Pacific form the subject of a very interesting article.
That " the lore of poetry is not extinct " is gracefully
proved by lir. Alaric Watts in some stanzas bearing
that title, in which are enumerated a few of the innu-
merable and blessed achievements of the poet.
"As Muses-like, you struck the heart
With the charmed wand of song,'
is one of many beautiful thoughts contained in these
verses, which seek to prove
" The love of song can never fade
illhast gentle hearts are r le,
To feel the sunshine and the balm

Many very interesting papers are contained in this,
which is a very excellent number of the N P2C
