POOR-LAW COMMISSION.

Colonel SIBTHORP moved for certain returns which
he had moved for in the month of May last, but which
had not yet been laid before the House. They were a
return of the number of days each Poor-law Commis-
sioner has sat in discharge of his official duty at the
office appointed for such official sittings, or at any other
place for the same purpose. Also, a similar return of
the number of days each Assistant Poor-law Commis-
sioner has been engaged in the discharge of his
official duty, the place and periods at which those have
been performed respectively. whether at the office of
the Central Board of Commissioners, or in visits and
inspections, or other matters of official duty at the dif-
ferent unions or union workhouses throughout England
and Wales, the number of days employed therein, and
the amount of expo-nse incurred by each Assistant Poor-
law Commissioner, in travelling or in other incidental
expenses relating thereto.
On the question being put,
The HON. and GALLANT COLONEL said that he had
understood that it had been the intention of the Rip ht
Hon. Gentleman to make some observations before the
question was ut.
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON said that, perhaps, the
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman would postpone his motion
for the present. He did not know that there would be
any objection to the ground of return, but he knew that
his Right Hon. Friend was not at present in the House,
and that he wished to wake some observatiOns on the
sui:ject.
Col. SIBTHORP had no wish to tike any Hon.
Member by surprise, and he would postpone his motion.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Although the supply of English Wheat on sale was not to say ex-
tensive, it was by far more than equal to the wants of the dealers.
The demand for all descriptions was, therefore, very dull, and Monday's
quotations were not supported. So little was doing in Foreign Wheat
that the rates were almost nominal. The supply of Barley was ex-
tensive ; the best parcels supported previous rates ; but other kinds
might have been purchased on the same terms. The same may be
said of Malt. Oats, Beans, and Peas, had a downward tendency,
with a heavy inquiry.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, FE.II. 3.—A letter from St. Petersburgh of the
20th January, says, " Her Majesty the Empress attended
Divine service in the palace the day before yesterday, on oc-
casion of the celebration of the anniversary of the birthday
of her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands." The fact
proves that the reports spread by the German papers of the
pretended indisposition of the Empress, are unfounded.
The accounts from the interior of Russia give a very
melancholy picture of the situation of the Russians in the
Caucasus. A German journal affirms, that in less than two
years they have lost all the fruits of their efforts during six
successive campaigns. In the spring they will have to con-
tend with all the tribes which have hitherto remained
neutral. It is affirmed that the Army of Operations will be
increased to the number of 120.000 or 130,000 men.
Vxmi:sa, J.kx. 18.—Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg is
not yet quite out of danger, though his disorder has taken
a favourable turn.
A few days ago a young man was arrested here for having-
made repeated attempts to force his way into the Imperial
box at the theatre, and to present himself to the Imperial
family. As far as yet appears, his intellects are disordered,
and he has a fixed notien that he is a hitherto unknown
member of the Imperial family.
Accounts from Gray unanimously deplore the great loss
that threatens the poor of that city, by the inteitcalndcee:
parture of the eldest branch of the royal finny f
who have resolved to remove in May to family
near
Wienac Neustadt, and there to fix his permanent abode.

possibly have forgotten the immortal advertisement, ad-
dressed to two illustrious letters of the alphabet, of his being
" earnestly implored, if he would not return to his disconso
late family, to send back immediately the key of the tea-
caddy." Might not a similar one be addressed to Mr. Leader,
drawn up in the following style ?—" Mr. John Leader, you
are earnestly implored, if you will not come home to yuir
misrepresented constituents, at all events to send back the
repretiptation of the city you have taken away with you.
Pisses address to the Bteward of the Chiltern Hundreds."

POOR-LAWS.

Sir JOHN EASTIIO4IE presented a petition from the
Corporation of the Borough of Leicester, in council as-
sembled, with reference to the Bill about to be
brought in to consolidate and amend the law regu
lating the law of settlement for the poor. He
said that, perhaps, he would best discharge his duty
in reference to this petition, by stating that it came from
a very large meeting of the borough, and the subject it
treated on appeared to have been very deliberately and
carefully considered. He knew he could not enter fur-
ther upon the merits of the .subject without founding a
motion upon it, and therefore he would content himself
with the observations he had made, and present the
petition.
CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD .RAILWAY.
Mr. TOLLEAIACHE presented a petition in favour
of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Extension Bill.
—Ordered to lie on the table.

withen, Rector of Stoke, in the diocese of Exeter, pray-
ing that the statute of 2d and 3d of Edward VI , cap. 1,
and of 2d Elizabeth, cap. 2, might be repealed, and that
the House would cause to be mule a calm and temperate
revision of the Book of Common Prayer and of the
Canons of the Church of England. . _

The NOBLE LORD also gave notice that, on Tuesday
next, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill
to limit the exemption from turnpike tolls of carriages

The l'aris papers of Wednepday and Thursday make no mention
of receptions at the Tuileries for some days, but the reason is not
assigned.

The Cherbourg Journal says :—" We are assured that the Forte
and Rene Blanche, which tare now in this port, are to be imme-
diately fitted out to serve as the escort of the Prince de Joinville
in the voyage which he is about to perform to Brazil. The Prince
will, it is said, take the command of the squadron, of which the
Mogadore of the line will form part. The object of this expedition
is, it is added, the settlement of the affairs of La Plata. The Prin.
cease de Joinville will accompany the Prince, who will leave her in
Brazil during the expedition to La Plata."

According to a letter front Goritz, the ex-Royal family have
determined to remove is the spring to Frolisdorf, near Wiener
Neustadt, and to fix their residence there.
Several of the Paris Journals state that the widow of General
Michel has sent to the Minister of the Interior a petition against
the inscription of—La Gardc rneurt et rte se rend pas, intended to
be placed on the monument to General Carnbronne at Nantes.
These words, says the petitioner, were spoken by General Michel.
It would be absurd certainly to attribute them to Cambronnc,
who surrendered himself prisoner at Waterloo.
Accounts from the interior of France give melancholy intelli-
gence of the effects of a snow storm. Marty lives had been lost.
Nearly the whole of the posts intended to support the conduct-
ing wire; of the electric telegraph on the Rouen railroad are fixed.
They are about 5 metres high, and from 23 to 23 metres distant
from each other. It is supposed that the telegraph will be in a
state to work about the end of the month.

The opening of the Chambers of Wurternberg took place on the
Ist. The King, in his speech from the throne, congratulated
himself on the fact that, notwithstanding the extraordinary cx.
pences of preceding years, caused by the construction of railroads,
no deficit of revenue or augmentation of taxes is found in the
budget.

that we are not now, as we were at the close of last
session, looking anxiously to a settlement .of a- question
with France, a question which threatened a rupture of our
amicable relations with that country. lam happy to find that
our relations with that country are close and unbroken, and
that they are likely to continue so.—( Cheers.) Sir. there is
another question to which (though 1 certainly do not mean to
enter into detail) I cannot help adverting for a moment. I
mean the question between this country and the United States
of America. Without at all interfering with the discretion of
the Executive Government, or at all dictating to them any
course opposite to that which they may think fit to pursue for
the settlement of the question of the Oregon boundary, I still
will venture to say to them that the opinion that I gave to the
House at an early period of the session, is entirely un-
shaken by anything I may have heard, or anything I
' may have read on this subject.—( Hear. hear.) The
Right Hon. Gentleman on that. occasion said that the

do, the loss of the distinguished man who was
Minister to our country from the United States ; yet, mingled
with that regret, I rejoice see that an'sther distinguished
man, who was here some years ago, has replaced Mr. Everett
as our Minister from that country. I trust that they will act
with discretion and moderation in determining the question
between the two Governments, without, at the same time,
losing sight of the essential interests of either country, and with

MEDICAL BILL.

In answer to a question put by Mr. WAKLEY, in reference
to the Medical Bill,

Sir J. GRAHAM sail that the Bill had, for some time,
been in the hands of the printers.

IRISH" WORKHOUSES

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer
to a question from Mr. Hume, said the Irish workhouses had
been built, not by order of the Government, but under the
provisions of an Act of Parliament, entitled the Poor Relief
Act. However, after those workhouses had been built, it ap-
peared by the representations of those in whose parishes they had
been erected, that they were not worth the sums charged, and
that it was soucht to compel them to pay more than the sum
o iginally contracted for. A very experienced officer was then
sent down to make inquiries, and the result was that the Go-
vernment had agreed to make a reduction in the original
amount demanded.

Mr. HUME said he would bring on a motion on the subject,
as he conceived it a violation of the rules of the House.

Sir D. NORREYS asked a question as to the mode of
valuation under the poor-law to be adopted in Ireland in future.

Sir T. FRENIANTLE said that a measure had been intro-
duced into Parliament upon the subject ; but he regretted to
say it was reje,tted in the House of Lords.
Mr. M J. O'CONNELL hoped that sufficient time would
be given to the people of Ireland to consider well whatever
means might be proposed to be introduced on this subject next
session.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
-

AILWAY. FROM MACCLESFIELD,
.11_11, passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.

PIiOVISIOkALLY REGISTERED.

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Chunict Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.

This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by Use Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Talley Company—will not, comprise snore than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with Use Grand Junction or
any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land-
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Highfield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.

the powers, capabilities, and qualities of Old England, Wea-
therbit, Pam, Arkwright, and Sting. I consider Weatherbit
and Pain's chances for the St. Leger to have vanished entirely,
and Old England run his race in the most " lubburly" manner
imaginable. His push in the straight running proves beyond
doubt, that he is rot capable of going /Teter when approach-
ing she winning post, fur I could plainly perceive that he was
hi 3 best against Longitude at the finish of tfr.• race for
the Drawing-room Stakes. Arkwright looks w,ll tut. next
„ear's Derby, and Sting will sting his opponents it. the ring
b-fore the Epsom Meeting for 1846 is recorded in the annals

1 iie Brighton Meeting commences on Tue,day with the
Pavilion Stakes, which will or ought to be booked as a cer-
tainty for Sting, Tug Net being second. Besides this race,
'here are only the Brighton Stakes which are likely to attract
aoy particular notice, for which about cloven will show, say

COMMUNICATION WITH NEWFOUNDLAND.

Mr. PAKINGTON wished to know if the Government
were in a position to afford steam communication between St.
John's, Newfoundland, and this country?
Mr. HOPE said that the Government were aware of the
importance of giving such a means of communication to that
colony ; but it appeared that great delay would be occasioned
by the present steam vessels calling there, even in summer,
in consequence of the quantities of floating ice, and in winter it
would be out of the question; besides, the present contractors
were nut bound to do so.

which, to all appearance, would be prolonged till next session,
as there appeared no prospect of the writ being at present

He made these remarks, as he believed the difficulty arose from
the Noble Earl (the late Lord Howick) not taking those
prompt measures that were required to qualify himself for a
seat in that House.
