THE PEOPLE.

Mr. PARKER brought up the report of the Committee
upon the Scottish Central Railway Committee, to the effect,
that it was the opinion of the Committee that the House ought
not to consent to the establishment of a railway station uplli
the piece of ground called South Inch, in the neighbonthoOd
of Perth. The report was received with considerable cheerio,►

IRISH RAILWAYS.

Sir GEORGE GREY in moving fora select Committee to
inquire and report whether any and which of the standing
orders which are enforced in the case of Railway Bills in Great
Britain are unnecessary, and ought to be dispensed with in the
case of Railway Bills in Ireland, and to move the following
names for the Committee :—Sir George Grey, Lord Granville
Somerset, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Mr. Labouchere, Mr.
French, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Strutt, The O'Conor
Don, Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Warburton, Sir 'William So-
merville, Mr. T. Greene, Mr. Rcdington, and Mr. Hamilton
(Dublin University ), said that he did not mean to throw the
slightest obstruction in the way of the construction of rail-
way s, more especially in Ireland; but as a series of regn-
lati-ns had been passed by that House, intended on the
one hand to check undue speculation on the part of Companies,
and on the other to protect private properties, he did not see
why in particular cases theso orders should be set aside, as its
the case of the Irish Great Western (Dublin to Galway).
Ireland. For that reason, and to ascertain in what instances
the standing orders, which we, e compulsory on English specu-
lations, should be set aside on Irish railways, he brought for-
ward this motion.
After a few words from Lord G, SOMERSET,
Mr. FRENCH said that the Right Hon. Baronet had
placed on his Committee eight Honourable Members-who
had before decided against this railway, and that out of a Com-
mittee of fifteen was a sufficient majority. He protested, in
the name of the majority of the other evening, against this
met ion.
Mr. W. PATTEN supported the motion.
Sir R. INGLIS thought the decision to which the Hone
had come to on the Great Western (Ireland) Railway Bill was
an unwise one, and that the Standing Orders Committee ought
to be supported.
Mr. SHAW did not think any Practical advantage would
arise from this motion. He thought the Committee
would end in nothing if it were appointe4. The vote
which he had given was not quite satisfactory to him-
self.—(A laugh.)

IRISH BANKS BILL

Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL wished to ask the Right Hon.
Baronet opposite when it was his intention to proceed with the
measure on Banking in Ireland?
S;r ROBERT PEEL sail that the Bill had been brou-ht
in and ordered to be printed. As far as the Treasury
business was concerned, he was anxious to proceed with it
as soon as possible. He could not state with accuracy the pre-
cise day, but he could say that it would be an early day. The
Right Hon. Gentleman then took the opportunity of saying
that as he was prepared to take estimates on Friday night next
be would, on that night, state what particular estimates it was
his intention to take.
PAROCHIAL SETTLEMENT BILL;

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD asked when it was in•
tended to proceed with the Yarochial• Settlement Bill?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM replied that it was not his inten-
tion to proceed with the Parochial Settlement Bill, which
stood upon the orders of the day for that evening, until after
the resolution to be moved by the Noble Lord the Member for
London should have been disposed of. He would, therefore,
postpone the second reading of that Bill till the 9th of June.
As he was about to trespass upon the indulgence of the
House somewhat out of order, in bringing forward an im-
portant motion, he would, if the House, cho e, sit down, until
the public.pet itions had beeen yr!sented.r--(

IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND HEREFORDSHIRE.

The SEIEPPING HOUSE ESTATE, TITHE FREE, Including
THREE FARMS, which SURROUND the MANSION, to.
gether with the MA NSION, and 715 ACRES of RICH
LAND (INCLUDING the FINEST HOP LANDS), EX.
CEEDINGLY COMPACT, CLOSE to the FAMED MAL.
VERN HILLS, the SITUATION ALTOGETHER VERY
PICTURESQUE and BEAUTIFUL, TOGETHER with the
GREAT and SMALL TITHES of the WHOLE PARISH,
the CHIEF RENTS and OTHER AUXILIARIES; AL.
TOGETHER an INCOMPARABLE INVESTMENT.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to offer
for SALE by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc..
Lion Mart, London, on 'TutfastuT, the '2. 6th of June, at Twelve
o'Clock, in Two Lots,
A singularly Eligible
FREEHOLD AND COPYHOLD ESTATE

(and a small portion of Leasehold), comprehending a Property
of considerable repute,

THE SHEPPING HOUSE ESTATE AND DEMESNE,
extending to

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ACRES,
of remarkably rich old
MEADOW PASTURE, ARABLE AND HOP LANDS.
The Mansion is prepossessing, standing amidst exquisite scenery,
substantially built, and the interior is so full of accommodation that
it will suit a family of the very highest respectability, but Mr.
Robins, adopting his usual plan, cannot resist the admission that
there is left sufficient scope for tact and judgment to be displayed
in such improvements and alterations as a mixture of good taste
and liberality will suggest.

THE GARDENS, AND PLEASURE GROUNDS
ARE EXTENSIVE,

THE WOODLAND SCENERY IN THE GROUNDS ADORNS
AND GIVES MUCH CHARACTER TO THE WHOLE.
The variety is indeed abundant, the sturdy oak (the monarch
of the forest) lifting its lofty head grouped with the chesnut,
beech, and elm, and the graceful birch blending its beauty with the
dark rich evergreens, are here and there varied by an ancient
tree, whose youthful stem might have vibrated to the echoes of
the martial war-trumpet in the glorious days of chivalry. Amid
this beauteous landscape, the Herefordshire beacon rears its head
as proudly as when its signal fires aroused twelve counties to the
clang of arms.
In the distance are seen

THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF CAMBRIA,
repoing in beauty, while

The ensemble is rendered quite perfect by
A CRYSTAL STREAM MEANDERING IN VIEW OF
THE MANSION,

capable of forming a sweet lake at a very little expense, and abound.
ing in trout.

" Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride,
Project their waving umbrage o'er the waters side,
While, gently perching on the leafy spray,
Each feathered v.,rbler tunes his various lay." _

There are now in full . ssom several rich orchards, forming a
beautiful contrast with the dense foliage and near the House, are
hanging woods.

trade of Canada had been extended since the passing of the
Canada Corn Bill, and told the Government that if they intended
to deal fairly with their own measure they would look to the
manner in which corn had been introduced into Canada from
America.

After a few words from Mr. PLUMPTRE,
Mr. HUTT shortly replied. He had no hopes, be said, -of
succeeding that evening, but the time was not far distant
when Government would be compelled to carry it by the threat
and intimidation of the colonies.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 12.—His Majesty presided in a Coun-

chapel of the palace.
The Minister of the Interior has just appointed a com-
mission, of which M. Kindt is president, to inquire what
are the best means of preventing fires, or of checking
their progress.
The shares of the General Society have experienced,
in the last six weeks, a rise of nearly 150 f., which does
not seem likely to stop there, for every day there are
applications for shares, which cannot be purchased at the
quoted prices.
M. Dethuin, a notary, of Mons, has just acted with a
degree ;of disinterestedness which deserves to be made
known. Madame Herendal bequeathed to him her whole
fortune, amounting to 50,000 f., to the prejudice of her
brother. M. Dethuin has declined this legacy in favour
of the lady's brother.

SCONE V. HUCGETT.-THE CLAIMS OF LODGERS.

In this case the appellant claimed to qualify f ,r apart-
ments which be occupied in the house, No. 17, Catherine
street, Strand. The claim was founded on the 27th
clause of the Reform Act, by which Mr. Cockburn con-
tended that the appellant, having a latch-key, and the
uncontrolled power of entry, was entitled to vote as for
a separate tenement. The Learned Gentleman referred
to a case from Stockpert, in which the Court, last term,
decided in favour of the claims of several persons who
rented rooms in ono mill, in which their machinery was
worked by one engine.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Court held
this claim to be upon very different grounds from the
Stockport case. In the latter each apartment was, in
fact, a separate workshop; but here the claimant had
free entry only by sufferance, and cyuld, be at any
time shun out by the will of the landlord.

r

'The seventh year of the Anti-Corn-law agitation
Ms commenced, and last night the first metropolitan
meeting of the League for the year 1845 was held in
Covent-garden Theatre. The progress of the free
trade question during the last six years has been im-
mense. Six years since, and a small room in an
hotel is Palace-yard was more than sufficient for the
accorimodation of the corn-law repealers. Last night
Covent-garden Theatre was crowded to excess by men
enthusiastic in the cause of corn-law repeal ; and thou-
sands of staunch free traders who were somewhat
lata in their attendance, were obliged to go away
in consequence of the want of sufficient room
for their accommodation. It was our intention to
have given a short review of the progress of the ques-
tion of commercial freedom during this period, but
we find, on reading the report of the proceedings of
Last night's meeting, that the subject has been so
admirably treated by the Chairman, Mr. WILSON,
that we ahall not do more than refer our readers to
that gentleman's opening speech. We sincerely con •
gratulate our fellow free traders on the immense
advance which the question has made, and we beg to
urge upon every individual who is theoretically a
free trader, the necessity of reducing his theory to
practice, by investing himself with the franchise
without loss of time. " Qualify ! Qualify ! Qualify !"
When every free trader shall have qualified himself

out. It will be reckoned among the things that
have been.

The Orangemen, or Protestants, or Conservatives—
or whatever other alias they please to give themselves
—of Ireland are beginning to get up an active and
clamorous demonstration against the Government
Education Scheme. We stated some time ago in The
Sun that this would be the case, for the symptoms of
discontent among these impracticable partisans have
long been manifest, and nothing has prevented them
from breaking out into open mutiny against the PEEL
AdrniniStratiOn but the disagreeable conviction which
they entertain, that, by so doing, they will be weaken-
ing themselves, and playing the game of O'ComiELL
and the Whigs. But their discontent has now reached
3uc4i height that they can no longer keep it under.

ARRIVAL OF AIR. O'CONNELL.

Mr. O'Connell is to arrive in Dublin on Sunday even-
ing next, and is to attend the meeting of the Repeal
Association of the following day. It is stated that the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman intends shortly to pay a
visit to his daughter, Mrs. Fitzsimon, who is in Belgium.
The Pilot of this evening will contain the following
letter from Mr. O'Connell :

" Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 10, 1843.
"My Dear Barrett,—l mean to postpone for a few
days my second letter on the Bequests Act. I am
tremulously alive to the apprehension that any one should
conceive that my first letter was in any degree disre-
pectful to any of the prelates who have accepted the
commission. I wish to postpone the second that I nay
be able to apologise for, and indeed, repudiate any such
meaning. lam not the less hostile to the Bequests Act,
or to any concordat, or State provision for our clergy,
because of this postponement. Because I expect that the
letter which his Grace the Catholic Archbishop of Ar-
magh certainly received from the Propaganda, on the
subject of the repeal agitation, should appear before I
publish another letter.
" What a ludicrous situation the Ministry are in, as
having procured from the Court of Rome such a letter,
in direct opposition to the oaths they have taken, that
the Pope has not, and ought not to have, directly or
indirectly, any power, authority, or jurisdiction, civil or
religious, within this realm!

"-Besides, the interval between this and my second
letter will be well filled by the admirable pamphlet of
Mr. Sergeant Shee. He is, you are aware, I suppose,
an eminent English barrister—an Irishman by birth, or,
at least, by parentage—and, what is more to the present
purpose, a strictly practical Catholic. His authority
will, deservedly, have great weight with all our prelates;
and for my part I should not be surprised if it produced
a breaking up of the commission by the resignation of
our prelates. At all events, it cannot but have a most
powerful effect on the Catholic mind of Ireland against
the Act. He cannot be considered as the partisan of any
section, spiritual or lay, of the Irish Catholics. His
opinion is, therefore, justly calculated to have that weight
which is naturally refused to mine.—Faithfully yours,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL.

taken in the proceedings by the audience—the

cool, sagacious, matter-of-fact reasoning of Mr.

DINAPORE.

A letter from Dinapore, dated the 18th inst., says:—
" We are all in great fidgets here, I mean the mili-
tary, in consequence of an order having just come down
to the officer commanding this division, to have a corps
in readiness to take the field at a moment's notice.
The Ist N.I. is the first for active service, but it is said
they will not be allowed to go, as they are not complete,
and have at present very few officers with the corps.
The wise heads seem to think that the 36th Regiment
will go, as they have only one soldier short in the
regiment, and are very strong in officers. I don't envy
the lucky ones that have to march down, they will not
.have to go very far—only to Sewgowlie on the frontier;
it will be a trip there and back again, I dare say, without
even one shot being fired."—Bengal Hurharu, Jan. 27.
The following is an extract from a Dinapore letter of
the 27th ult.:—
" The artillery who went up to Benares for their
annual practice some time back, and sent after forth-
with on account of the disturbed state of the Nepaul
frontier, are now, would you believe it, under orders to
trace their steps to that station to finish what they had
left undone ? A fine thing this to be subject to. Where
the fault lies we know not ; but that one has been com-
mitted there can be no doubt of, as we have heard from
very good authority that the disturbance was greatly
exaggerated. The 49th reached this on the 25th, and
started again the evening of the 26th. Their present
destination is Benares ; they have suffered greatly from
cholera since they left Dacca, having lost about.2oo
sepoys, and left a considerable number at Bhagulpore in
a very precarious state. Captain Mitchell commands the
regiment, as Colonel Fernie appeared before a medical
committee, and is off to the Cape. The Ist regiment
N. I. were reviewed this morning by Colonel Right.
Her Majesty's 39th Regiment went through a great
many evolutions with steadiness and celerity, reflecting
great credit on its worthy commandant and officers.
Their file-firing was excellent, and kept up with great
spirit ; their light infantry manoeuvres had a pretty
effect. The officers of that corps entertain Colonel Right
and staff this evening. The 23d N. I. are to be reviewed
on the 30th, and the 36th shortly after.—Englishman.
