LUNATICS IN IRELAND.

Lord MONTEAGLE brought in a Bill for amending
the law respecting pauper lunatics in Ireland. The
Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read again
this day week.
The Earl of CADOGAN moved for returns of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, showing in what parishes
there had been a surplus of the funds applicable for the
purposes of the Commissioners, and in what way. such
surplus funds had been applied.
The Bishop of LONDON said that he had no objee
tion to produce the returns called for by the Noble Earl,
but he trusted he would modify his motion so as to ob-
viate a great inconvenience, for part of the returns which
the Noble Earl desired had been included in other
returns already presented to ti.eir Lordships' House. If
all the re:urns which had been moved for were presented
the production of them would cause an immense trouble
to the clerks, whereas, if the motion were modified, all
this would.be avoided. He (the Bishop of London) had
not the slightest objection to give every information,
end produce all the correspondence in the possession of
the Commissioners, and he would, therefore, suggest that
the Noble Earl shoeld move for the first of the returns.
The Earl of CADOGAN said that he acted simply on
public grounds, and that he wished to know how the
funds of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had been ed-
m:nistered, and where there had been a surplus. It the
Richt Rev. _Prelate would give the returns of those
parishes s•, here a surplus had bekil found, and how that
surplus had been adininietered, that was all he required.
Lord LYNDIIUIt:_'7,T suggested that the Noble Earl
should modify his motion.
The Earl of CADOGAN said that he would modify'
his motion, and would be prepared to say in what way
he would pat it to morrow.

THE APPROACHING SEASON.
_ _

MR. GEORGE ROB6T§legs;;;3 respectfully
to intimate to the moneyed world, that so soon as the pro.
longed and seemingly interminable winter takes its departure, and
the green freshness of the leaves makes its welcome appearance, he
will intimate to them the various sources with which he has been
honoured, to enable

HIS FRIENDS, THE GREAT CAPITALISTS,
to exchange their`Three per Cents, at par, into something quite as
secure; but with present and prospective views, much more en.
couraging. Sir Robert Peel has given to the profession a boon
they cannot be too grateful for, by having abandoned the odious
duty upon property transferred by public auction ; and it has
been vouchsafed at a period when it must be received as giving
new life to our calling. Mr. Robins has only to suggest by way of
conclusion, to all those who agree with him that land is the staple
commodity upon which to rely, to bear in their remembrance the
never.to.be.for-gotten

❑earing the vessel, they found the sea running over her, and
made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her; failing to do so,
they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortunately the
force of the na drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed her

being on the Committee, and he expressed a wish to the Hon.
Member for Durham that the Under-Secretary of State should
be on the Cominittee. To this the Hon. Gentleman at once
agreed. He then requested that six Gentlemen sitting on that
(the Ministerial) side of the House should be on the Commit-
tee, and to that the Hon. Member acceded, and he (Sir James
Graham) named Lord Marsham, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and
Mr. Bramston. He also nominated Mr. Grantley Berkeley:to
serve on the Committee. It turned out that Lord Marsham,
Mr. Bramstone, and Mr. Hope Johnstone could net attend on
the Committee, and he then nominated Lord G. Bentinck, Mr.
Cripps, and Mr. Mackenzie. The Hon. Member had fallen
into these arrangements, and had done all in his power to assist
the Government, and if the Hon. Gentleman should oppose
the motion for the rejection of Mr. Cowper, he( Sir J. Graham)
should sunt ort him.
Mr. BRIGHT could not accede to the pr >position of the
Hon. Member for Cheltenham. The Hon. Member had said
that six members of the Anti-Corn-law League were on the
Committee. This was not the fact, as only three were on the
Committee who were connected with that association. He
(Mr. Bright) could not understand why the Hon. Member
objected to the name of Lord George Bentinck, seeing that he
himself had put a notice on the paper on the 3d of March to
nominate that Noble Lord on the Oemmittee.
Mr. G. BERKELEY believed the Committee was formed
i n a mant.er likely to give satis'action.
After a few words from Mr. VILLIERS,
Mr. C. BERKELEY said he had resisted the appointment
of the Noble Lord the Member fur Lynn, because he believed
he entertained the same views as the Hon. Member for Dur-
ham. He should divide the House.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided. The numbers were—
For tie motion
Against it
...

...
Majority for the original Committee... -87
Mr. C. BERKELEY then moved that the name of Lord
Palmerston be nominated as a Member of the Committee, in-
stead of Mr. Thomas Cavendish.

Mr. BRIGHT, knowing that Mr. Cavendish would attend
the Committee, declared he should not accede to the proposition.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority against the Amendment 36
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock.

CHELMSFORD and BURY RAILWAY.
EXTRACT from the REPORT of the RAILWAY DE-
PARTMENT of the BOARD of TRADE, on the Schemes for
EXTENDING RAILWAY COM 3IUNICATION in the COUNTIES
of NORFOLK and SUFFOLK.
Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 4th March, 1245.
"With respect to the London and Norwich Direct Railway scheme,
an inspection of the map will show that it does not fully accommo-
date even the thinly-peopled district through which it passes. It goes
through Bury, but the convenience of the smaller towns between
Bury and Stansted is sacrificed to obtain a short line. We are con-
vinced that the through-traffic will not, in this case, be suffich nt to
maintain the railway ; and we believe that both the through and
local traffic must be called into action to ensure a moderate return on
the outlay.
"It is necessary, in this part of our report, to advert:to a railway
sailed ' The Chelmsford and Bury Railway,' projected but not
brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of
which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway
appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that in-
tended to be traversed by-the London and Norwich Direct Railway.
Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost; there is
a strong local feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which
have been received by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants
of Braintree. Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelms-
ford and Bury, who are of opinion, that if the direct line be sane-
tioned by Parliament, they will be debarred from all chance of being
at a future time placed on a line of railway ; moreover, its promoters
allege that even as to distance, It gives as short a communication to
London from Bury as does the London and Norwich direct line.
However, while speaking thus of the Bury and Chelmsford scheme,
we must guard ourselves against implying that we have formed an
opinion on its merits or demerits, or to whether or not it is required
by the district. We now only advert to the scheme in order to show
that, supposing a direct and short line of railway between Bury and
London were required, # line alleged to bo as direct and as short
may be formed, which, at the same time, will accommodate a more
extensive population. And, further, that as the London and Nor-
wich direct line traverses a district but thinly inhabited; that as-it
does not even afford the best accommodation to this district; that as
the traffic which might come upon it, supposing the Ipswich and
Norwich extension line were made would not be sufficient to support
it ; and that even if it were, required, an equally, if not more useful
line might be found, we are of opinion that there are public reasons
whirh ought to he decisive against it."

These three sorts of Candles are all precisely alike in their bin,

the Price's Patent, and thence the difference in price. Even those

CLARK'S ROYAL WAX CANDLES !
NO PUFF 1 ! (Only Is. per lb.)
"Their equal is unknown—their superior will never come."
A. pure White flame—they snuff thetneelVe 3—are bard as alabaster
—pure an wax—glossy as glass—and cheap as common tallow can•
dies, is their true character. Composite candles, German wax, Mar.
garine wax, Botanic wax, and all such inferior candles must be
thrown aside, bearing no comparison to Royal Wax Candles. Their
great success has already created Imitators. CLARK and CO. do
not supply the trade, therefore all who purchase elsewhere cannot
have the Royal Candles. No arsenic Is used—inquiry is challenged.
Royal Wax Candles of all sizes required. Only Is. per lb.
Please write down the address, CLARK and CO., 447, West

NR. J. COHAN'S CONCERT.

- -
This concert took place at the Sussex Hall, Leadenhall-
street, last evening, and went off with great eclat. The
talented berieficiarc himself gave us three of his own exquisite
Fantasias on the Pianoforte, which were cleverly executed
and much applauded. The Distins were there, with the
Sax-horns, and John Parry with his comic songs. The most
wonderful performance of the evening, however, was the
guitar duet by Don J. and Don R. de Ciebra. In their
hands the guitar is really an instrument—an instrument of
expression, of power, and of compass. Until we heard
these gentlemen we had no idea that the guitar
could be made to discourse such excellent music.
They were loudly. applauded, and the duet was rapturously
encored. The principal vocalists were Miss Sara Flower,
Miss Canavan, a
.young lady of great promise, and the
Seguins. Signor Lanza conducted. The concert was very
well attended.

THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN."

We have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently
dfsappoin:ed in not reeeiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
cu
.'nether Gggracated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
oyice fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together-
with the " Prices Current" of all the: Markets, as well as Official
Prices. of Shires in Rai!icays, &c. &c.—The Betting at Tatteesatt's on
Afonday and Thursclaii—The lcitest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news irrictly in London af'er' three o'crock in the afternoon, when the
&cm& or Evening Edition goes !(') press.
h distant parts of the cmniry, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
nouns. IV ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early
intelligence.
In those places where the evening mail arrives in the Middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, itc. itc., wilt
onswer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves according'y.
Aesp-ectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any
neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The

representations.

being on the Committee, and he expressed a wish to the Hon.
Member for Durham that the Under-Secretary of State should
be on the Committee. To this the Hon. Gentleman at once
agreed. He then requested that six Gentlemen sitting on that
(the Ministerial) side of the House should be 011 the Commit-
tee, and to that the Hon. Member acceded, and he (Sir James
Graham) named Lord Marsham, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and
Mr. Bramston. He also nominated Mr. Grantley Berkeley to
serve on the Committee. It turned out that Lord Marsham,
Mr. Bramstone, and Mr. Hope Johnstone could not attend on
the Committee, and he then nominated Lord G. Bentinek, Mr.
Cripps, and Mr. Mackenzie. The Hon. Member had fallen
into these arrangements, and had done all in his power to assist
the G)vernment, and
.if the Hon. Gentleman should oppose
the motion for the rejection of Mr. Cowper, he (Sir J. Graham)
should support him.
Mr. BRIGHT could not accede to the proposition of the
Hon. Member for Cheltenham. The Hon. Member had said
that six members of the Anti-Corn-law League were on the
Committee. This was not the fact, as only three were on the
Committee who were connected with that association. He
(Mr. Bright) could not understand why the Hon. Member
objected to the name of Lord George Bentinck, seeing that he
himself had put a notice on the paper on the 3d of March to
nominate that Noble Lord on the Committee.
Mr. G. BERKELEY believed the Committee was formed
in a manner likely to give satisfaction.
After a few words from Mr. VILLIERS, . .

Mr. C. BERKELEY said he had resisted the appointment
of the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, because he believed
he entertained the same views as the Hon. Member for Dur-
ham. He should divide the House.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided. The numbers were—
For the motion
Against it
Majority for the original Committee —B7
Mr. C. BERKELEY then moved that the name of Lord
Palmerston be nominated as a Member of the Committee, in-
stead of Mr. Thomas Cavendish.
Mr. BRIGHT, knowing that Mr. Cavendish would attend
the Committee, declared he should not accede to the proposition.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority against the Amendment
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock.
