THE MALT TAX.

Mr. MUNTZ wished to ask the Hon. Member who
had given notice of a motion for the repeal cf the malt-
tax when it was his intention to bring it forward?
Mr. CAYLEY had intended to bring it on next
Thursday, but, at the request of several friends out of
doors, he now begged to give notice that he should not
bring it on till after Easter.
NAVIGATION-LAWS.

Lord JOHN MANNERS, seeing the Right Hon.
Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade in his
place, he wished to ask him if his attention had been di-
rected to the fact that a ship had been taken out of
Liverpool without the owner's consent. He wished also
to ask whether a foreign ship coming to this country to
be registered ought to pay the duty under the existing
tariff?

Mr. LABOUCHERE said the facts of the case re-
ferred to by the Noble Lord had come to his know-
ledge, and instructions had been forwarded to the
British Consul at Tampico to assist the owner
in recovering his ship in the event of its being brought
into that port. With regard to the second question, it
had always been held that a foreign ship coming into
this country for the purpose of being registered, was
not liable to duty, but if it was brought in for the pur-
pose of being broken up, it was subjected to a duty cf
25 per cent.
AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.

Sir W. AIOLESWORTH gave notice that in Com-
mittee on the Australian Colonies Bill, in the event of
the amendment being carried that there should be two
instead of one legislative assembly in Austraiis, he
should move that both of them should be elective,
THE COASTING TRADE.

Mr. NEWDEGATE said that he bad been consider-
ably surprised by the differences which appeared on the
face of some of the Governmert returns, and wishe4
therefore to ask the Right Hon. the President of the
Board of Trale to give some explanation of the discre-
pancy which appears in the accounts of the coasting
trade, as rendered in the Trade and Navigation Returns
by the Board of Trade, and shows an apparent excess of
clearances outwards over the entries iHwards, both in
the number of vessels and amount of tonnage.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the best reply which
he could give would be to read an extract from the re-
turns themselves. This the Right Hon. Gentleman then
did, showing that the papers were all in unison, and
concluded by saying that this was the best answer that
he could give to the question.
HOSPITALS IN DUBLIN.

Mr. GROGAN wished to ask the Right Honourable

the Secretary for Ireland, if it be the intention of her
Majesty's Government to withdraw the grants hereto-
fore made by Parliament for the maintenance of the
Dublin hospitals.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE was not aware that there
was any intention on the part of Government to with-
draw these grants, though ho did believe that there
would be some change in the application of them.
POOR-LAW UNIONS IN IRELAND.

MARKET N LW:.-{'PHIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Up to our market, this week, coastv,ise, only 1,160
quarters of English Wheat have come to hand; hence,
the show of samples of both red and white here to-day
was small in the extreme. The attendance of millers
being limitcd, the demand for all kinds of wheat of
home produce was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's
quotations. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been
confined to 2,520 quarters. All d,scriptions were very
slow in sale, but we have not the slightest change to
notice in vAlue. With Barley— both English and Foreign
—we were scantily supplit,d. On the whole a moderate
basiness was transacted, at previous currencies. Malt was
in g. od supply, and heavy demand, at barely stationary
prices. Good sound Oats were scarce, and quite as dear.
The inferior parc2ls ruled dull. Beans, Peas, and all
other articles were very Cull.

The Legge of Turin of the 29th ult. states that it
had been supposed that the important question of the
eligibility of ecclesiastics to be elected as Deputies
would have come on for discussion on the question
of the admission of Father ISNARDI, who had been
returned by the electoral college of Varnazze. Father
ISNARDI is President of the National College of
Genoa. This being considered an administrative
office under the Government, the election was declared
void, and thus the question of the eligibility of
ecclesiastics was not raised. It was supposed that
the Chambers would be definitively constituted on the
following day.
It is said that the refusal of the Government to
grant letters of naturalization to Count MAsistrexi,
was in consequence of the personal remonstrances
made by the Pope's Nuncio.
The Sardinian Government will, as one of its
earliest measures, present to the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives a Bill, by which all the restrictions at pre-
sent imposed upon British vessels arriving at the ports
of Sardinia are to be removed, and they are to be
placed in every respect upon the same footing as
national vessels.

PINELLI was on the 29th ult. elected President of
the Sardinian Chamber of Deputiet.

THE NAVIGATION Laws.—The example of the
British Parliament in freeing commerce and naviga-
tion from every restriction is about to be followed
by the Sardinian Government. The Council of
Ministers at Turin has prepared a Bill by which all the
restrictions at present imposed upon British veestls
arriving at the ports of Sardinia are to be removed,
and they are to be placed in every respect upon the
same footing as national vessels. This Bill was about
to be submitted to the Chamber of Representatives for
approval.

KENILWORTH CASTLE

As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For farther particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fart that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
' paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must adrnirs his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—. Half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
tenrs," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears. or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love,
—ends in war, and the total destruction of

cease to represent a just proportion of produce, and
may become entirely:the reverse of a just proportion, by
a change in the markets. lie, therefore, thinks," that
every letting of lands, whether for a longer or a
shorter term, should be subject to a re-adjustment of
rent, according to the prices of produce—either an-
nually, or from time to time, es may be agreed on."
This is, in fact, the principle of " corn rents,"
which, although so little resorted to, is, perhaps, the
most equitable that could be adopted for all parties.
Mr. CnAWFORD is desirous of carrying out
his views practically with his tenants, and
for that purpose has inquired into the
rents charged on the different parts of
property on lands out of lease. Some which
had been charged according to valuations made by
himself were estimated at a low scale of prices, aid
would not generally require much change, but others,
which had been assessed according to a valuation
made by a professional valuator, appear to have been
valued at a higher range of prices than he considers
suitable to the prices now obtainable for agricultural
produce. This grievance will, therefore, immediately
be removed, the Hon. Gentlemen acting towards his
tenants on the broad and equitable principle of " live
and let live."

Mr. CRAWFORD does not conclude his admirable
letter without administering a seasonable rebuke to
the Protectionist agitators who are now disturbing
the country and deluding the people with the vain
idea that a bread-tax would again be tolerated, or
that the iniquitous corn laws would ever again be
submitted to. His observations on these points are
well worthy of notice. We shall not, however, at
present enter into the political part of his address,
but submit his conduct towards his tenantry as worthy
of imitation by all persons who, whatsoever may be
their political predilections and views, are alive to
the great fact that " property has its duties as well
as its rights."

mation of a most daring attack and highway robbery,
perpetrated by three rains on himself; on Wednesday

The applicant was recommended to proceed to the
station house at the rear of the court, and to relate all
the facts connected with so daring a highway robbery
to the inspector on.duty, particularly as it was perpe-
trated in a thoroughfare so near at hand. The appli-
cant

advice, and left the court fcr that purpose.

MOST DARING. AND IMPUDENT ROB-
BERY OF PLATE AT STAAIFORD.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Sunday momaing last, between the hours of
eleven and twelve, two man broke into the dwell-
ing-house of Miss Bolton, of No. 9, Ratland-
terrace, Stamford, whilst the family were at church,
It appears that two men were seen about twenty mi-
Amos past eleven to enter the front door (it is sup-
posed by insane of a pick-lock key) by some servants
of the adjoining house, who communicated their sus-
picions to their master that all was not right. The
gentleman thereupon went in search of the po-
lice, and ou. their arrival, and entering the
house, they four that the thieves had effected
their escape by the back door, having broken open the
plate chest, and stolen the following articles:—
Fifteen silver forks, eight desaert ditto, eight large spoons,
six small ditto, twelve tea ditto, one pair of sugar-
tongs, three large soup ladles, four sauce ditto, six salt
SPOOV, one butter-knik, two small forks, and a skewer,
all of the king's pattern; also was st den one 5/. note
of the Bank of Eaton, Cayley, and Co., and
foul. soverigns. A box containing jewellery was also
broken open, but the thieves, in their hurry, did not take
anything therefrom. A sideboard in the drawing-room
was considerably damaged, from the violence used in
breaking it open, but nothing was abstracted from it.
It is supposed the thieves, had some accomplice
in the town who well knew the premises from the ready
way in which they found the plate in Miss Bolton's
bedroom; that portion of it in use was in the
,kitchen, and as the thieves did not go below
trey missed it. The audacity of the robbery caused some
coosternation in the town; and the other inhabitants of
the terrace (which in all number twenty houses, and are
chieily occupied by the gentry, the majority of whom are
ladies), were much alarmed and terrified by this
daring robbery in the open day. The terrace is situated at
one of the outskirts of the town, leading from St. Peter's-
bill; it has no buildings opposite, and behind within 20
yards lie the open fields; the situation offering every fa-
cility for escape when once off the premises.
Information was immediately given to Mr. W. Reed,
the chief constable of the borough, who has been most
indefatigable in his exertions to trace the thieves. His
men (the police) were dispatched in every direction
to scour the country, with the view of capture ;
and telegraphic information was also sent to
all the principal neighbouring towns, and also to
London, and a few hours after the robbery handbills
were issued offering a reward of twenty guineas for the
discovery of the offenders, but up to the present moment
the thieves remain undiscovered.

SOUTHWARK.

William Thomas, a Smithfield drover, was brought
before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with cruelty to a cow.
Mrs. Ann Handcock, wife of a surgz.on, said that
about half-past three o'clock that day, as she ss as
standing at one of the windows of her house, her at-
tention was directed towards the defendant, who v< as
driving a cow that seemed to be in a very bad condi-
tion, and scarcely able to move along. At length the
animal fell down, apparently from sheer exhaustion,
and then commenced the brutality which the de-
fendant exercised towards it. He first seized the
animal's tail, and twisted it with great force ; but
finding this had not the desired effect of snaking
it rise from the ground, he then dropped the
tail down in a part of the road where a
'quantity of sharp granite was laid, and began to
jump upon it with all his might. Although the poor
animal seemed by the heaving of its body to suffer
pain from such extreme cruelty, yet it had not the
power to move from its position, and the defendant
then ran to its head, and thrusting several of his
fingers up its nostrils, by that description of pur-
chase made several ineffectual attempts to get the
animal upon its legs. The witness added that she
was so utterly disgusted with the brutality exercised
by the defendant towards a poor dumb animal, which
it was apparent, from disease and exhaustion, had not
the strength to rise from the ground, that she hastened
to the street and sent for a policeman, into whose
custody she gave the defendant. She further said
that a crowd of persons had collected on the spot,
and that even if she had not interposed he would
have been taken into custody, as several persons
were looking about for a policeman, in order that
such an offender should not escape the punishment he
merited. _ _ _

A policeman confirmed that part of Mrs. Hand-
cock's evidence which related to the defendant's
twisting and then jumping upon the animal's tail to
make it rise from the ground where it had fallen, or,
more properly speaking, dropped down. He added,
that he subsequently examined the animal's feet, and
fund they were in a very diseased state, and that
it must have been great torture for it to have walked
along.

say to the charge tillege3 against him ? Prisoner—

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived.
The Spanish Senate was occupied on the 3d and
4th in discussing a proposition of General Ros
DE OLANO and others, to the effect that the Go-
vernment should not be allowed to prevent mili-
tary senators, in non-active service, from remain-
ing at Madrid. General NARVAEZ and the Miniater
of War opposed the motion, and it was even-
ti ally r jected. No explanations were given in the
Sei..Le respecting the recent Ministerial crisis; the
Chamber of Deputies did not meet on the 4th, and
would not, it was believed, re-assemble before Satur-
day. Fears were entertained that the crisis was not
yet at an end. M. MoN was expected to return to
Madrid without delay, and his presence would, it
was said, strengthen the position of the Cabinet.
Mamma BoLsa, PEc. 4.—Of late the prices of the
Funds received by telegraph from Paris have helped
to depress prices here. To-day a telegraphic dispatch
speaks of a considerable rise at Paris on the 30th ult.,
and this has assisted in promoting the reaction against
the late fall, which has been as rapid as the fall
itself. The Three per Cents. were done to-day at
