THE WEATHER.-SLN OFFICE, FEB. 24.

' guarantee for Irish tranquillity. The race of agitators
is only to be extinguished by the extinction of, or at
any rate by a searching, comprehensive reform in,
the existing Protestant Church in the sister country.

The report of that "hedging" Bill, entitled the
" Horse-racing Penalties Bill," comes on for further
consideration this evening. If we had ever doubted
the inherent tendencies of such an assembly as the
House of Commons to the vice of class-legislation,
the frivolous and selfish debate on this question
last week would have effectually dispelled any
such scepticism. But believing always that such
tendencies are absolutely inseparable from the ele-
mentary constitution of a Chamber, which, even since
the passing of the Reform Bill, still continues
rather the representative of the two aristocracies of
rank and money than of the people and popular prin-
ciples, we are disposed to look upon the discussion in
question as the most characteristic which has taken
place, within the same walls, for some time past. The
Bill was introduced into the House of Lords by the
Duke of RICHMOND, with the candid admission that
its object was—what? To put down the frightful
practice of gaming ? To withhold or deter the rich
from setting a demoralising example to the poor, in
staking sums of money on the event of races to be
run between certain horses ? To impress upon the
ill-paid agricultural labourer, the small tradesman,
the plodding artisan or operative, the profligacy of
their reckless conduct in perilling the support of their
families, and the maintenance of their homes, on
wagers as to the uncertain issue of matches at any
rural or local sports ? To encourage the abstinence
of small farmers and their servants, of humble tenants
and humbler husbandmen, of provincial shopkeepers
and working men, from habitual betting and games of
hazard, by the disinterested promulgation of penal
Acts against such practices, at the special instance of
noble or opulent landlords, merchants, manufacturers,
and mill-owners ? No—nothing like this was the
avowed object of his Grace's Bill, as stated by Mr.
WORTLEY, who has charge of it in the Commons. It
was simply to protect some noble and other patrons
of the turf from qui tam actions which have been
brought against them by parties prepared to prove
the well-known facts of their having won and lost,
paid or received, large stakes at races, and other sports,
and hoping to realise, by such actions, penalties to
an enormous amount under the statute of Queen
ANNE. We need not recur to the recent deliberations
of the Lords upon this measure, or to the amendment
by which the operation of the Act of ANNE was su-
perseded for a limited period. It is our purpose to
look at the principle of the Bill, as it has been
brought into the House of Commons.
Now, how grossly partial, how palpably exclusive
this principle is—how clearly invoked, pro Mc vice,
as it were—to serve the turn, to meet the case of the
Lord GEORGE or the Sir JOHN, or the sporting Peer,
or the titled Commoner, whom the dreaded qui tam
" Ogres" were about to pounce upon, and tear to
pieces, like the Mr. BOND (who has, indeed, escaped
from their clutches, but with only a rat-like extrica-
tion, minus its tail)—enough, perhaps, has been already
premised to show. But the hypocrisy of the prin-
ciple, and the defectiveness of the scope of this Bill,
may be much more strongly illustrated. Why
was not the protection of the Bill to be thrown
around the copper or shilling " collection," " top-
ping 101.," contributed by the sturdy cham-
pions of the village green, as well as the " sub-
scription horses" and gold cups, the splendid plates
and magnificent sweepstakes, provided by the patri-
cian subscribers to the betting-rooms,--" the " Dii
majores" of the Grand Stands,—the ate of Tatter.
sail's ? But is this invidious distinction, thus sough
to be established against the poor, who may be dis.
posed to follow their native English bent for " sport-
ing," in common with their wealthier compatriots, an
imaginary grievance P There is very little of mere
abstract, inferential reasoning,—of purely sentimental
hypothesis in the practical illustration supplied by
Mr. WAKLEY
"A number of little boys were in the habit of amusing
themselves by playing at pitch and toss—which some
persons considered a highly immoral and injurious
practice, while others regarded it as innocent and one
to which no punishment ought to be attached; but lie
regretted to say that there were magistrates in this
town—stipendiary magistrates—who were in the habit
of sending little boys to prison and to the treadmill for
indulging in that practice. In the course of the present
week, only two days ago, three boys were committed
for having been guilty, as was stated in the warrants, of
the enormous crime of playing at' pitch and toss.' "
There are few country gentlemen who have had
more experience of the business of quarter sessions,
and of the sort of cases which come before county
magistrates to be summarily disposed of, than Lord
WuAaricurrE or the Duke of RICHMOND. There
have been few keener patrons of the turf and the
betting room than the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord
WHARNCLIFFE. Is either of these Noble Peers pre-
pared to bring in a Bill to rescue the infant patrons
of that most ancient of all games of chance, "pitch
and toss," from the avenging mittimuses of the magis-
tracy—unpaid or stipendiary ? Such a course may
be thought very incompatible with the dignity of a
present Lord President, or an ex-Postmaster-General
—but it would be conduct much more consistent
than the support of either to a " Goodwood" Bill of
this kind.
We are anxious not to be mistmderstood as being
the apologists of betting, or of gaming of any kind.
If we cannot go the whole length of Lord Howica's
serious appeal to the Legislature to discourage (by
some new enactment ?) " the practice of betting on
horses ;" if, on the contrary, we plead guilty to a
little secret passion for horse-racing, the excitement
of which, we find, years cannot quite extinguish—
we willingly concur with Mr. WORTLEY, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, and others, in wishing that the " practice
of betting" could be entirely abolished. But since
this is about as futile an expectation—since it is to
suppose about as complete a revulsion of men's
natures, as to look for the Bishop of LONDON'S
petitioning the QUEEN and the Parliament to be al-

We close our comments on the debate by remarking
that the remedial measures proposed by Government
for the pacification of Ireland, are passable enough
in their way, but are by no means characterised
by sufficient comprehensiveness and liberality to meet
the emergency of the case. Much more must be
done ere there can be the slightest hope that the
Repeal agitation will die away into insignificance.
Meantime thus much good has been affected by the
debate—it has shown Ireland that she has a far more
numerous body of staunch friends in the House of
Commons than she ever supposed she possessed ; and
we trust, therefore, that in future we shall hear less
about " the vile, brutal, arbitrary Saxons I"

lowed to exchange his mitre and his see against the
surplice and "perpetual curacy" of some Rev. OWEN-
AP-MEREDITH, among the mountains of South Wales;
we must deal with the matter as we find it—an origi-
nal innate propensity of man, as strong in the rudest
state of savage nature, as in this most refined civili-
sation. The Bill before us, then, ought to have in-
corporated the broad principle involved in the amend-
ment moved by Mr. BRIGHT, which would have
crushed at once the pretences and the profits of a race
of men who are the common pest and nuisance of so-
ciety. He moved, " That on the motion for going
into a Committee on the Horse-racing Penalties Bill,
instructions be given to the Committee to extend the
provisions of the Bill to all proceedings of common
informers, under the authority of any penal statute."
The amendment—although supported in an excel-
lent speech from Mr. CHRISTIE (who argued that,
if the House passed the Bill to defeat the objects of
common informers in this particular case, they were
"bound to stop all proceedings of common informers
in every case")—was finally lost. Sir R. PEEL,
whom we shall henceforth be apt to regard as a
trimmer in legislation and public morals as well as
in politics, after deprecating the danger of the prin-
ciple involved in measures of this kind, which went
to intercept the operations of existing laws, made
this characteristic compromise of his constitutional
principle with the conventional expediency which is
ever his besetting sin :—" It was the peculiar circum-
stances of the present ease which made him ready to
grant the relief asked for."
Very peculiar circumstances, no doubt ; and among
them not the least is, if we mistake not, the accident
-of a namesake of the Right Hon. Baronet being one
of the victims whom qui tam voracity had contem-
plated for its peculiar delectation. The frankness of
Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE'S statement is much more
to his credit and to our taste. He described the Bill
as being " essentially a private and personal Bill, to
exempt certain noblemen ;Ind gentlemen from penak

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1844.

HAMBURGH, FLANDERS, AND
DUTCH MAIL.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
STOCKHOLM, FEB. 13.—According to the Afienblarl
the King had a very
restless night, from the 11th to the
12th, with great pain in the leg. Notwithstanding his
weakness, his Majesty had sufficient strength of mind, in
the latter days o. last week, to listen to the articles in
the journals, and to have the bulletins read to him before
they were published.
In the proclamation of the Norwegian Government,
announcing the transfer of the administration to the
Crown Prince, reference is made to a resolution of the
Diet of May 4, 1818, so that the doubts which were en-
tertained here, whether the transfer would be legal in
that kingdom, are removed. The cold increased here
from the 9th to' the 10th inst., from 18 to 25 degrees
(about 32 to 45 Fahrenheit below freezing).
We learn from Gothenburg that M. Axel Malmlen,
merchant in the city, has failed for 137,000 dollars.
COPENHAGEN, FEB. 17.—The Fadreland announces
that its number of the day before yesterday has been
seized, and that it contained an article, copied from the
Augsburg Allgemeine Zeituny, which defends the right of
Denmark to levy the Sound duties.
CASSEL, FEB. 11.—pome surprise was caused here by
the circumstance that in the genealogy of the Electoral
House of Hesse, which is always annexed to the official
calendar for the Electorate of Hesse, the Elector Wil-
liam 11. is stated this year to bo " a widower since 13th
February, 1843," and that no notice is taken of his third
marriage. We learn that this omission has given occa-
sion to a complaint on the part of the Elector, which
Privy Councillor Wohler, who has arrived at Cassel from
Frankfort, was commissioned to support.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 21.—The average price of wheat last
week was 16f. 83c., and that of rye 10f. 34c. The duties
on importation and exportation, therefore, remained as
before.
The Dusseldorf Gazette has stated that the subscrip-
tion for the construction of a railway from that town to
the Belgian railway, had been filled up, as it were, by
enchantment. We now learn from the Elberfeld Gazette,
that the persons desirous of partaking in the enterprise
were so numerous, that it was necessary to fix 10,000
dollars as the maximum, and to reduce to that sum those
which exceeded it. Soon after the deed was signed, the
share were sold at 1 per cent. premium; and the town-
hall seemed to be transferred into a stock exchange.
THE HAGUE, FEB. 23.—The Central Section brought
up its report on the law for regulating the claims of the
late King, the discussion of which was fixed by the
Chamber to follow that on the income-tax and the vo-
luntary loan, and that on the law for completing the
ways and means for 1844 and 1845, and for discharging
the debt to the Commercial Company. The debate on
the tax on property then commenced.
PIRACY IN THE INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO.—WC extract
the following particulars from the latest journals received
from Java:—

The Resident at Riouw states that news had been
received from Sekana, a noted retreat of the pirates, that
several vessels had been equipped to exercise piracy,
from the coast of Malacca to Pailoc Pinang. In an ac-
tion between these pirates and the English steamer
Diana, one of the chief of these banditti was killed, two
others taken prisoners, and the vessel captured. The
others retreated into the river Tjaeny, near Tjambi, on
the east coast of Sumatra.

An attempt by the Dutch authorities to seize the
pirates was at first unsuccessful, but his Majesty's brig
the Windhond, the Janas schooner, and six cruisers
have been sent after them. They are to blockade the
river, and punish this nest of thieves as it merits.
The master of a native vessel of Serawak in Borneo,
who has arrived at Pontianak, relates that at the begin-
ning of July three English men-of-war .had anchored off
the river ; they were to undertake an expedition against
the pirates of Dayak. Accounts had been received that
the result of this expedition was that several Kampongs
in the district of Seribas had been taken; about 100 ha-
bitations of Malays and 30 of Dyaks, each 150 feet in
length, and several of these vessels were destroyed.
This news, however, needs confirmation.
The Malays and Dyaks, it is said, made a vigorous
resistance, but suffered very severely from the well-di-
rected fire of the English, who lost only two men.
Baas, FEI3. 21.—The King arrived at St. Hubert on
the 14th, and on the 15th went to hunt in the adoining
forest. The party soon found two wolves, a male and female;
the former escaped, but the female advanced towards the
King, who, when she was at the distance of 60 paces, fired
and wounded her, and with a second shot killed the animal.
This wolf, which is of extraordinary size, has been sent to
the palace of Lacken, where it arrived yesterday. The Queen
ordered it to be sent to Brussels to be stuffed. _ _

Our readers have not forgotten the unfortunate result which
many of our manufacturers experienced from the expedition
of the ship, the Count of Flanders. This vessel left Ostend
with a cargo of Belgian manufactures, worth 500,000 francs,
which was confided to the care of M. Commaille, our Consul
at the Cape of Good Hope, who was to sell them by touching
at several transatlantic ports. The vessel sailed in October,
1842, but encountered a violent storm in the Channel, and
was forced to put into Ramsgate. Disputes ensued. The
owners of the goods gave some particulars of the arrange-
ment made by M. Commaille with the shipowners, which
they disapproved, and a lawsuit was the consequence. We
now find the following notice in the journals of Bruges and
Oatelid

"This morning at ens o'clock, the Belgian brig, the Count
of Flanders, arrived here, after having stopped sixtoen
months in the port of Ramsgate. The vessel will proceed
to Bruges when the goods will be deposited in the entrepo4."
The Weser journal says :—" It is generally believed to be
decided that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will visit
Copenhagen in the course of the next summer, and that they
will perhaps be accompanied by some other members of the
Imperial family."
TURKEY (no date).—The Turkish Government has estab-
lished a mail for the conveyance of letters between Constan-
tinople and Bagdad, which leaves Constantinople once a
fortnight, and reaches its destination in 19 or 21 days. The
letters to Bagdad must be addressed to a correspondent in
Constantinople, who is to put them into the post in that city,

expense of the invention has been greater than the time now
limited by law will suffice to reimburse." There are two
clauses in the Bill ; they provide that any patentee shall,
before the expiration of such patent, present a petition to
either House of Parliament, setting forth that he has been
unable to obtain a due remuneration for his expense and
trouble in perfecting such invention. If the matter of such
petition be then proved before a Committee of such House,
or at the bar thereof, or otherwise, her Majesty is to be ad-
dressed on the subject, and shall, if she see fit, refer it to the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. If such Com-
mittee, after investigation into the matter, report that a
period greater than the seven years' extension into the said
patent (given by the Act sth and 6th of William IV., c. 83)
ought to be granted, her Majesty is empowered to grant such
extension for any period not exceeding fourteen years. But
it is also provided that her Majesty may, if she deem it fit,
grant a lesser extension of the period than that prayed by
the patentee.
REFORM IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—At a
meeting of medical men, held on Wednesday night at the
Crown and Anchor, in the Strand, at which Mr. Waley,
M.P., Dr. Lynch, Mr. Cooper, and other gentlemen, were
present, an address was adopted, setting forth, in very pointed
and intelligible terms, the indignation of a portion of the
medical profession at the late Charter to the College of Sur-
geons, and the measures of medical reform propounded by
the Government. Mr. Wakloy addressed the meeting,
among other gentlemen, and congratulated them on the
appearance of unanimity presented by their present pro-
ceedings. For twenty years that he had been writing against
abuses under which the profession laboured, he had always
had to contend against the want of concentration and united
action exhibited by medical men. He promised them, now
that they seemed determined to persevere, all the aid he
could give them in Parliament ; and it would be their own
fault if they did not let Parliament know what it was they
wanted.—(Cheers.) The address was approved of by the
meeting, and it was agreed that it should be submitted for
adoption to an aggregate meeting of the profession, to be
called next month.
A YOUNG GIANT.—On Thursday an inquest Was
held before Mr. Carter, at the Archduke Charles, White Hart-
street, Kennington-lane, as to the death of John Newcomb,
aged 13. The deceased was the son of Newcomb, one of the
oldest officers at Union-ball. Upon the jury going to view
the body they were perfectly astonished at the appearance.
The boy, though so young, weighed about 14 stone, and his
height was five feet four. The circumference of his chest was
38 inches, and he dared not go out because he was so annoyed
by the boys in the neighbourhood. The Coroner and jury
upon their return said they had never witnessed such a sight
before. It appeared by the evidence of the mother of the de-
ceased, that he had from his birth been affected with some
disease o the chest. On Saturday he was very ill and went
to bed. On Sunday his mother was about getting fresh
sheets for his bed, when he suddenly turned over, and then
was found dead. After a good deal of evidence, the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Natural death."
LONGEVITY AND PEDESTRIANISM.--On Saturday
Mr. William Eaton, travelling packman, died at Brechin,
Forfarshire, at the age of 95. He had travelled with the
pack 74 years, and walked on an average 15 miles a day, ex-
clusive of Sundays, amounting to 347,430 miles, nearly 14
times the circumference of the globe.—Scotch Paper.
ATTEMPT AT POISON.—On Monday night last, the
neighbourhood of Brampton Moor was thrown into great alarm by
the report that a man had poisoned himself. It appears that John
Bond, a collier, was not on the best of terms at home with his
spouse, so he determined to try her affections. He went to Ches-
terfield, pledged his handkerchief, and bought some arsenic, and
thin returned home. Listening at the door, he heard his wife ask
a neighbour who the child was like ? The neighbour pronounced
its eyes like its father's, on hearing which he " bounced" in, and
exclaimed, " Yes, you will see how my eyes will be in the morn-
ing." He went into the kitchen, got a cup and mixed the poison ;
after which he threw the paper on the house floor, and pretended to
drink the contents, and then went to bed. His wife took up the
paper, and seeing " poison. printed upon the label, immediately
gave the alarm, and messengers were despatched for a doctor, who
immediately returned with Mr. Jones, surgeon, his assistant, and
Mr. eallimere. The poisoned man, perceiving expenses incur.
ring, protested against the operation of the stomach-pump. Mr.
Jones
informed him that it was useless to make resistance, and
called in four stout men, who held him while two others forced
open his mouth, and as soon as they introduced the tube lie bit off
the end; but they effectually:went through the operation, and to
their great surprise not one particle of poison could be found on
the stomach. The fact is, he had merely pretended to swallow the
ingredients, but lett them in the cup N.Dirtv liertrkr.

The division this morning in the House of Commons upon
the Irish question has been the subject, as a matter of course,
of universal conversation, and though, apparently, the majo-
rity is large against the motion of Lord John Russell, still,
with a force of 225 Members. approving of inquiry, it is
hoped that Ministers will come forward with some ameliora-
tive measures. Scarcely any effect was produced upon the
Funds by the decision,- and hopes are now entertained that
the real business of the country will be actively proceeded.

The transactions in the produce markets this week have

The Railway Shares are in very little demand, but gene-
rally they are held rather firmer.
The Funds have assumed rather a steadier aspect after the
fluctuation of yesterday, and the speculative sales of the
Hebrew party, based chiefly upon the Tahiti affair, have not
been followed by any large operations, though they have
