charges might be matte against them. The Right
Honourable Gender= proceeded to vindicate the
character of the Boardef Trade, and that of the Com-
mittees of the House from the attacks of Mr.

WALLEY. - •
After a few words from Mr. WARLEY, Mr.
BROTMIRTOR, and Mr. DARBY, the Motion was
withdrawn.
Mr. \VARLET then moved for a return of the- de-
scription of diplomas or licences admitted by the
Poor-law Commissioners as legal qualifications to
entitle medical practitioners to be appointed as medi-
cal officers to Poor-law. Unions, which, after a few
words from Sir JAMES GRARAM, was agreed to.

Captain PECHELL moved for certain returns re-
lating to the crushing of bones by paupers in work-
houses, and deprecated their being employed in such
labour.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM had requested the Commis-
sioners to issue orders to prevent it, but they could
not control boards of guardians in such matters.
Lord EBRINGTON defended the employment of
Pa'

,upers in bone crushing. If the work was fit for
independent labourers, it was net too bad for paupers.
Captain PECHELL and Mr WAHLET both animad-
verted severely on Lord EBBINGTON'S observations.

Mr. ROEBUCK taunted the Honourable Member
for Finsbury with his former speeches against the
Poor-law Commissioners, who, after all, instead or
being pinch-paupers, were the defenders of the poor
against the inhumanity of the guardians.
Sir C. LEMAN defended the employment of paupers
in this manner.

further happeni that the Mr. " W." O'BRIEN, who is
the subject of the Economist's statement, had
been appointed to that influential post in the South-
Eastern Railway, shortly after his brother's nomina-
tion to the aforesaid Commission. It happens

Mr. WAHLEY replied to the taunts of the Hon.
Member for Bath, and after a few words from Mr.
HENLEY and Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the motion was
agreed to.

- Sir JAMES GRAHAM then rose to move for leave to
relative to the conduct of the Messrs. O'BRtEtt, one
of whom had once held the office of secretary to the
Right• Hon. Baronet, but had since been appointed
one of the members of the Board of Trade, and called
on the Right Hon. Baronet for an explanation.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in allusion to the accusa_

the very moment that the price has declined
considerably in the market, on account of a manifest
informality which must have 'been fatal to the appli-
cation for the contemplated extension of the lines con-
fleeted with the South-Eastern, according to the
standing order of the House of ommons as to rail-
ways; this session ; but whi?l informality is
of the Board of Trade
mys-
teriouslyC,mrnit cured
in bfayvoaurreopofrntearly all the said proposed
undertakings, and against nearly all their opponents.'
Finally, it happens that on the 18th ultimo, the fol-
lowing notice was posted "on the Stock Exchange
in the usual course of business :"—"H 100 New
Dover Shares,' bought in the name of WILLIAM
O'BRIEN, at git prem., are not delivered on the 22d
instant, they will be bought in by J. W. SCOTT."
So far, the strange statement we have given on the
authority specified.
Is it a true statement ? Are, the facts as stated, in
their relations to Mr. W. O'Barsrs and his posi-

tion which had, been brought against Mr. O'BRIEN
of dabbling in railway shares, stated that that'
Gentleman, on whom he passed a high eulogium,
had been his Secretary before his appointment to
the Board of Trade ; that on his appointment, he
had, as far back as October last, sold all the railway
shares which he possessed. That the gentleman
whose name was referred to in the Economist, was
the brother of Mr. O'BazEtv, that he was not con-
nected with the South-Eastern Railway, and that both
gentlemen had solemnly assured him, on their honour,
that neither directly or indirectly had they held any
communication with the Person alluded to as having
taken advantage of information obtained from the
Board of Trade. If any suspicion attached to either•
of those gentlemen let inquiry be made, and let them
stand or fall by. that 'inquiry, but the character of
men of honour, • who' had served their country with

tion on the Staff of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany ? How did he get there ? Why was he selected
for that office ? Are we to infer that it was in virtue
of an old Irish mode or manoeuvre of jobbing, wherein
a sort of moral' influence used to be brought to bear
on the pliant convictions of. men engaged in the
management of private or corporate affairs, that it
would be for their interest td,inake a small nest in
their establishment for some. very worthy young
geptleman, a connexion of some other very worthy
person, in a high influential position ? The case as-
sumes so serious an aspect, that we still think the proper
_authorities ought to be instructed by Parliament to
ascertain and report, first, who the Mr. O'BRIEN of
the Stock Exchauge notice is; secondly, whether infor-
mation, in some unofficial shape, was afforded, and by
whom, to that Mr. W. O'BRIEN, on the possibility or
intention of the Board's overlooking the defective
notice, which was afterwards set right by the Board's
favourable report on this especial application to the
House of Commons ? Now, last night, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM most handsomely testified to the high and
honourable character of both the Messrs. O'BatEN
alluded to in this matter, his former and his present
secretary. After the Right Hon. Baronet's dis-
claimer, we are bound to believe they have, neither
of them, any communication with Railway Com-
panies. We are bound to accept, also, the Right
Hon. Gentleman's explanation of the retention of
the name of O'BRIEN on certain railway papers and
scrip. But Sir JAMES offereclno sort of explanation
as to .the grave charge, that secret information of the
proceedings of the Board is, notoriously obtained by
certain gambling speculators in the money market.
In England we cannot tolerate in public or official
functionaries, this tampering with the integrity so
rigidly demanded of theM by the tone of society and
the power of public opinion. The specific allegations
of our ConteMporary are still answered but in part.
This important question remains :—How came
Mr. D. O'BRIEN to concur in the Board's report
on these projected lints in connexion with the South-
Eastern, seeing that the • notice required by
the Standing Orders had . not been deposited
within the utmost limit slimed ; that is, by
the 30th of November lain ? Perhaps Lord
GRANVILLE SOMERSET will take the trouble of insti•
tuting these inquiries, and apprising Parliament of the
result of them. Some positive information of this kind
will not be long.dispensed with,. we are very confi-
dent, either by the House of Commons or the public.

During the recess he had received many communica-
tions on the subject ofthe measure which he had pro-
posed laSt year, all of,which he had attentively con
sidered. There were many parts of the measure to
which no objection' h,id been made. Those parts he,
proposed to retain. Great ;objections had been made,
to giving the Act a rettospectitevefrect ; and he 7theYeA
fore proposed thEeits operation should be prospective
only, and he was also disposed to give up the birth
settlement, and ,the five years' industrial residence,
but he intended to abide by the ether limitations
Which he had introdticed into the measure. He also
proposed to substitute union s4fleinenta for parochial
settlements, and would allow a sufficient time to
elapse before the second reading of the Bill to enable
the country well to consider: this important alteration,
After a short discussion, in which Colonel WOOD,
Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. riROTHEITON, and Mr. B. DENISOI
took part, leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Lord EBitiNGTON moved for, leave to bring in, a
Bill to limit the ,exemption from turnpike toll of car-
riages carrying her MAJESTY'S mails.
The motion, 'which was opposed by the CHANCELLOR
of 'the EXCHEQUER, was negatived without a division,
and the House adjouimed*Twelve o'clock.

We have received Madrid journals of the 3d inst.,

tain no accounts of rebellions, or plots, or the pronun-
ciamentos. The capital is quiet; so are the provinces,

When, on Saturday last, we directed attention to
the reply of Lord Graarsvnie SOMERSET, in the
House of Commons, to a home question that had
been addressed to him by Colonel SInTHORP, touching
the alleged connexion of certain members of the
Board of Trade Committee of Railway Bills Inves-
tigation; we had really no notion how near at hand
was a case for , the protest . we had entered
against the possible tendencies of the constitution of
the body in qiiestion; both' in that article, and in three
or four other previous papers on the same subject,
which may be in the recollection of the readers of The
Sun. It certainly did appear to us extraordinary at
the time that a public servant of' Lord GRANVILLE
SOMERSET'S high character—a man by no means, la e
should venture to surmise, addicted to the saying of
very civil things where parties have committed them-
selves to any impropriety—should have given so
jejune an answer to the Gallant Officer's inquiry. It
was at least a significant hope that the latter expressed,
that there was no truth in the rumoured interest in
, •
railway speculations attaching' to certain parties
among those who were delegated to report to Parlia-
ment on the merits Of 'new or competing lines of rail-
road coming before the Legislature for its sanction.
If Lord SOMERSET'S reply had been limited to his
simple protestation of e,niire ignorance on the subject
of this rumour, we should have had no comment to
make upon it. But for his Lordship to have coolly
replied to a charge against official functionaries
so grave as this rumour involved, "that if the parties
took his advice, they would get rid of all their shares
in such undertakings,rif they had any, as speedily 'as
they possibly could," did strike us as a very trifling
manner of animadverting upon the mere assumption,
even, of so gross and palpable an impropriety. But, if
we were to believe the statement which has been
published in a . paper of Sunday last, the matter
would almost cello to be any longer one of assurnp-
tion. It would= like " a great fact." The abuse
must exist. Tha*portunities of official station, in
this department, must-have been scandalously perverted
to purposes of private emolument. There must then
have been, in effect, as we surmised there might be, by
possibility, an antagonist influence at work in shaping
the decisions of the Railway Committee, against
which neither the merits of schemes, nor the legiti-
mate expectations of the enterprising capitalists, could
have any just or equal chance. No man ought ever
to have permitted himself, we repeat, to sit at the
table of that Committee, who knew himself to be,
either directly or indirectly, interested in railway
speculations of any kind. , That he should be guilty
of the indelicacy of adjudicating upon suggested lines,
in the success or rejection of which the storing of his
own private pockets must be a result immediately in-
volved, would suppose a recklessness of public opinion,
ari unscrupulousnesi of jobbing, an insensibility to the
sacredness of a :high State or Parliamentary trust, to
which we should feelit difficult to apply any epithet
of sufficient strength to-express our reprobation. ~
Now, the same journal had informed the world that
shortly after the appointment of Sir J. GRAHAM'S pri-
vate Secretary to 'a place at this Board, the brother
of that individual was engaged, at a large salary, as
manager of the South7Eastern Railway line. Poor
Sir JAMES ! In one respect=only—his official course
is very like the course of true love—" It never cloth
run smooth." He is always in a false position.
Now writing didactic epistles to magistrates or
governors of gaols, on the philosophy of imprison-
ment; or the moral luxuries of inventing model
prisons, and enforcing the Penalty of solitary confine-

again, he is at his tortuous modes of defeating large

thousands becomes the victims. of their blind cupi-
ditY. From all accounts this mania is not confined
to Paris; but extends very.generally to the provinces,
as in England, and has such an alarming appearance,
that a Bill is to be brought into the Chamber of Peers
with the approbation of Government, with .a view to
check the evil. The anomainus state of the laW is
thus pointed out by the Journal des Debats, with the
main 'provisions of the Bill, which is to be introduced
forthwith :-- • . _

which has been exhibited for some time past in railroads is to
give birth in an early sitting. of the Chamber of Peers to a
proposition -which some of the Members will bring forward
with the assent Of.the Government. 'Each day sees a new

. ber of Peeks is to.cut abort not only; he real disorders which
have taken place, but the greater scandals which are possi-
ble, and which must in all probability occur, as . the fever
seems to increase each day.. -It is henceforward to be for
to open a subscription for any undertaking of public
works, of which a Bill had not previously authorised the con-
cession or adjudication. By that means the number of lines,
which might serve. as an occasion or pretext for the creation
of a company, would be extremely limited. The contraven-
tion of-this enactment is to be punished by the penalties of
imprisonment and fin, inflicted by 'article 419 of the Penal
Code against manoeuvres at the, Bourse.- Tel render sub-
scriptions more. serious, and to. .prevent a real' or ,ficti-
tious exaggeration of the ' nominal capital of affairs in

first payment must- amount to: a' fifth at least. Severe
measures are to be taken to, prevent the abuses to
which the deposits of considerable sums remaining for
a length of time in hands not'very safe might give rise.
The time during which a subscription is to remain open is to
be exceedingly limited—not more than a month at most.
That delay being past, of two things,. one either the subscrip-
tion has been made up, or the sums subscribed haVe been in-
sufficient. In the first case all fuhds paid into the projectors
are. to be transmitted within a- short 'delay, a week for instance
to-the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, which is to pay the
interest to the Company, if the latter, having obtained the
concession, shall-be definitively constituted, or to the sub-
scribers individually, if bolder or more fortimate competitor
shall become the persons to whom the adjudication is made.
Ire the second case—where the capital has not been sub-
scribed entirely—the repayment of - the sums paid in is to
take place immediately after the expiration of the month."
The late curious ' results, of the division by
ballot appears; to have made , a serious impression on
'the Chamber.; as 'well as the Ministry, .and , the
proposition of-,M. Duvnaciaa D'HAimpas toab-
rogate vote by ballot;' has been referred, with the
consent of the Government, to a Committee. On
Monday M. bncneTni., the Minister of the In-
terior, presented the Secret Service Money Bill, and
briefly adverted- to the state of the country. France
was at peace with all the world, -good understanding
prevailed between her and England, trade, manufac-
tures,:and commerce had greatly increased, Algeria
had been -conquered, and was now peaceable. In
short, the country had never been in a more healthfu

nistry towards him. He absolutely refuses to accept
the pension which they have obtained for him, and
insists, not only that the Bill for the grant should be
withdrawn, but that it be so done by an ordonnance.
This, he maintains, is the best compensation they
owe him for the precipitation with which they have
heaped upon hint the consequences of an affection
which, though serious, was but accidental and tem.
porary.
On Monday the Funds were rather more firm than
on the preceding days. The Three per Cents. were
