MALT-TAX.

Lord RENDLESHANI presented a petition from se-
veral places in the county of Suffolk, praying for a re-
peal of the malt-tax.
NORWICH AND BRANDON RAILWAY (DISS

DEVIATION).

On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,

Mr. M. GIBSON moved that this Bill should be read
a second time that day fortnight. This Bill had been
reported against by the Board of Trade, a❑d he thought
it ought not to be read a second time until the report of
the Board of Trade was before the House.
Lord JOCELYN seconded the motion.

Lord HO Wit:a thought the object of the Honourable
Member for Manchester would be met by the resolutions
of the Railway Committee, v% hich would be presented
to-morrow.

Mr. BROTHERTON said, whether these resolutions
were passed or not, it could make little or no difference,
and therefore he would have no objection to support the
amendment.

Mr. BARING—The course suggested by the Hon.
Member opposite was one that bad reit been adopted iu
reference to any other Bil!, and therefore he (Mr.
Baring) could not see why it should be adopted in re-
ference to this Bill. He conceived that all the purposes
would be answered by the resolutions of to morrow.
Sir R. INGLIS was of opinion that the consideration
of the Bill should not be postponed for so long a time.
Mr. HA WES conceived that, as no other Bill would
be aff,icted by the motion, no objection could be made
to it.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said he would bring forward
the Bill for a second reading in the usual course, for he
could not sea why this Bill should not be placed in the
same position as others.

Mr: WODELIOUSE would beg leave to Fay be con-
ceived that, under all the circumstances, the postpone-
ment would be the most equitable course.
Mr. H. W. B. COLLETT—As the London and York
Bill had passed sub silentio. he could not see why this
little Bill should not be permitted to pass in the same way.
Mr. GIBSON, after a few words, withdrew his amend-
ment.

TOBACCO DUTIES.

Mr. HAWES wished to direct the attention of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to a recommendation
which had been made, and to an expectation which was
generally entertained, that some alteration would be
made in the tobacco duties, and to ask if it was the in-
tention of the Government to make any such alterations?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
aware that great anxiety existed on the subject,
and was, therefore, much obliged to the Honour-
able Gentleman for having put to him the
question. He was aware that it had been re-
commended that a differential duty should be imposed,
so as to make a distinction between leaf tobacco
and the other sorts of tobacco ; but he had to state that
it was not the intention of the Government to make any
alteration at present in the duties nn tobacco.

veral place s, against the sae of intoxicating liquors on

from sevcral places, in favour of Temperance Societies.

LAND-TAX.

S.r WILLIAM IIEATHCOTE presented a petition
from Basingstoke and several other places in the
county of S;)uthampton, praying fur relief from
the taxes on land and agricultural produce, and
stating that when the value of their produce was reduced
by taxation or adverse circumstances, they were obliged
to keep th it labourers and support ;hem, while the ma-
nufacturers Were enabled to discharge them. On this
ground they conceived themselves entitled to relief.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The benefit of Mr. Bunn
was attended last night by a highly respectable audience—a
tribute properly due to his enterprise and activity as a ma-
nager. The performances commenced with the English ver-
sion of L'Elisir d'Amore, played by Miss Romer, Mr. Stret-
ton, Mr. W. Harrison, and the other principals of the esta •
blishment. This was followed by a variety of other
entertainments in the shape of ballet and concert singing ;
and everything, during the time we were present, gave
mitigated satisfaction.

RAILWAYS TO THE WEST.

The decision of the Board of Trade on the com-
peting lines to the West, has given very general dis-
satisfaction in this locality, and speculation is rife re-
specting the grounds upon which the scheme from
Portarlington to Galway has been preferred to that
taking the course of the Royal Canal, through Mul-
linger, with branches to Athlone and Longford. It
has seldom fallen to our lot, as public journalists, to
witness more universal support given to any public
undertaking, and on this account the disappointment
was the greater that a hostile report should have been
pronounced upon it by the Board of Trade. Surely,
if that tribunal had any knowledge of the wants of
this particularly rich and central district, which is
not surpassed by any other in Ireland, they would
not reject the line by Mullingar and Longford, re-
specting which there was no competition. We are gt
a loss to divine what reason can be assigned in favour
of the selection, as it is in direct opposition to the
recommendations of the Railway Commissioners fur
Ireland, and is alike destructive to the interests of
two canal navigations. We must confess we do not
place much confidence in the decisions of the Board
of Trade. The debates in Parliament, and the feel-
ing of the press, sufficiently convey the feelings of
the public respecting the utter incompetency of the
Railway Department of the Board of Trade to de-.
tide on the vast interests entrusted to their charge;
and unless we are greatly mistaken in our opinions,
it will turn out that several of their decisions, par-
ticularly as regards Ireland, will be altogether re-
versed. In our first page will be tbund the resolu-
tions unanimously entered into at a very full meet-
ing of the provisional Directors, held on Monday
last. We understand that the grand juries of this
and the adjoining counties are determined to put for-
ward their opinions on the subject strongly before
Parliament, and we, for our part, entertain the most
sanguine expectations of success. Dublin Times.

The first (14'060, on the 19:h July, lasted frem a quarter
to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the advantage gained by the first ship
over the fourth ship was not so much as a quarter of a mile,
and over the seventh not two miles and three quarters, and the
last only six miles and a half.' In some of the trials the rate of
sailing was only from one to three knots, and sometimes the
ships had little more than steerage way. The degree of incli-
nation varied. In a " cross swell," and the rate of sailing five
knots, the incli..ation was said to be—of Vanguard, 3 degrees ;

SATUT:DA Y. JUNE 3S, 1845.—Her Majesty's frigate
Cleeteety, end hit French Majesty's ships the Zelee and
the Ileeeeau. met Tamatsve Roads, according to the ar-
i aregenieet wereed to by the Gi,vereers of Bourbon and
ltaurir;u?. The nbiecti f heir voyage was to obtain from
Raeaeale Mo.ejaka less harsh conditions than tho-e which
had ireposed upon the European traders, whom she
heal threatened with immediate expulsion and the con-
fiseation of their property, if they did not become natu-
rali,ed Matgash—that is, staves. The representatives
of the two nations not, having succeeded in their nego-
tiations, an obstinate combat took place, the details of
•which have been brought by the Conway.
" Three hundred and fifty men, of whom 100 were
FreL eh soldiers and ihe other.: belonging to the crews
of the three ships, under the command of Captain
Feiseek and Lieutenant Heseltine, landed on tbe
afternoon or the 15th insant, and advanced across
.a plain, under a sharp fire from the fort and bat-
tery of grape and musketry The enemy was driven
cut of the battery, and the guns were spiked. The out-
work or screen, which had been suppesed to be the fort
itsel!', was stormed and taken. They here discovered the
real fort, a hich is a circular one, and mounting about 30
,guns, which were casemated, and in a circular gallery.
'The wall is about 30 feet high, and surrounded by a ditch
of about the same width. Possession was kept of the
top of the screen fur upwards of half an hour, and a con-
stant tire kept up. Having no means of breaching the
wail, and the men failing fast, they retired, carrying off
the flag. for the possession of which the French and Eng-
lis% sailors disputed for a long time, but it was finally
settled that it should be equally divided between the two
pantie:, the one obtaining a portion with the word " Rana-
vale,' arid the other with Manjaka,' inscribed. They
,burnt the Guard-house, Custom-house, and a con-
siderable part of the town. The firing from the men-of-
war wai excellent. They landed next day and carried
of all the remaining European property. The wounded
were all brought. off, but not the killed, whose heads
were next day exposed on the beach, stuck on pikes.
The men-of-war and all the merchant ships sailed from
the harbour.

English—Four men killed, and one officer and eleven
rien w,)l:nded.

-" French—Three officers and fourteen men killed, and
Oito nlficor and forty-two men wounded.

Z•lee and the Berteau lost each a topmast from

cut. Nearly ail their balls passed over the ships, which
ha l an,liored a'sout eight hundred yards from the shore."

(Provisionally Registered.) '
The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the
making of a railway from Ihndersfield to Manchester, the long-de-
sited object of opening a direct line of railway communication, from
Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddle Worth
and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself. •
To accomplish this object, it is proposed to make a railway, com-
mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield
and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and
Shelley Valleys, and thence by way of; or near, Barnsley, to Goole.
By th- proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man-
chester Railway, there wonid be then established one continuo/is
line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass-
ing through Manchester, and connecting the two ports of Liverpool
and Goole ; and also several important and populous manufacturing
districti would have the benefit of railway communication, for which
no provision has yet been. made by any existing Company, or pro-
posed by any 2Pliente now before the public.

The proposed line would cross the North Midland Railway at or
near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards.
The Portion.of the line between Huddersfield and the North Mid-
i land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex-

CIBSTYNATF: COMBAT AT TAMATAVE.-Our readers
are :!ready aware, frern cur publication of the 2d of this
e.ooth, Ittnay.4lo Manjaka, the Queen of Madagascar,
i-sued orders in the beginning of May, that all the
_English and French residing in her dominions should,
within eleven days, become her subjects, by having them-
s&ves registered and naturalised as Malgaches, or that
they should iumediately quit the island. On receipt of this
intelligence the Governor of the Mauritius, Sir W. Gomm,
Aisp itched her Majesty's schooner Thunder with the in-
formation to the Admiral of the station at the Cape of
flood !rope, giving the captain instructions to touch on
his way at Tarrettave, and to tell the terrified
tereigni-rs there that the British Governor of the Mau-
=, and the French Governor of Bourbon would, with-
.nit delay, send succour to them. The Thunder sailed
troll-. the Mauritius on the sth of June, and her Majesty's
ship Conway pr.:ceeded to Tamatave on the 7th, and the
Governer of Bourbon sent the French ships of war Zelee
en 1 Berceau to meet the Conway. Yesterday, through the
1-zindtiess of Gapt.ie Jones. of the Julia, which left the
Ittrititn on the 29th of June, we received the Cerneen
Extra rdinary. which we insert entire. It appears that
the British and French men of-war were obliged to give
up the stuck: they took away the foreigners from 'l'a-
tuatave. and have returned to Mauritius and Bourbon
for r-inforcements. The Mauritius paper is as follows:

THE SPO R 771% G RE VIEW

The illustrations of the present number are, a portrait
of " Iteraction," the winner of tl,e Oaks, engraved h)
Ilucker, from a portrait by A. Cooper, and a
boat iftil little picture (engray. d by Scott, from a paint-
ing by J. Haceman), entitled, " The Fruits of the First."
The stifij ict being the looking over the game-bags after a
day's partridge shooting. From the letter•press illustrating
the picture we extract the following sensible advice to
sportsmen t—.
"There isn't a pleasanter Month in the whole year than Sep-
tember, and there hit' a pleasanter sport in the whole month—
perhaps it would be but justice to add year again—than par•
tridge shcoting. But then a man must have the proper spirit
to appreciate it, and the proper tact in practising it. What a
pity that such a nice, social, round-the-farm sort of amusement
should ever become the outrageously magnified toil and trouble
some peopl- are so fond of making it. What really reasonable
reason can be given for a man knocking himself up at half-past
four A.m., to knock down partridges on his own home in
England, because such a virtue is necessary for the snipe-
shooting in the swamps of the Indies? Or why, forsooth,
should the man who does not disdain the aid of Jasper or Juno
to find his game, refuse that of Gimcrack or Jim Styles to
carry it ?"

" THE `CERN'",I EXTRAORDINARY.

" SATURDAY. JUNE 28, 1845.—Her Majesty's frigate
('onway, and his French Afjesty's ships the Zelee and
e Berouati, met in Tamatave loads, according to the ar-
,ngement t!tzreed to by the G,vrrnors r,f llntrbon and
1 :4uritim. The',,bjeet of ;heir voycp was to obtain from
taavalo !e)is harsh cortditoons than tho,e whicb
s!:e hnd i,eposed tipoa thu European traders, whom she
thretvened with immediate expulsion and the eon-
'ag:a...ion their propery, they did not hFeorne natu-
ra7',-e.l Malgash—that slaves. The reprt.sentatives
of the two nations not having Fuccerded :n their nego-
tiations, an obstinate combat took place, the details of
vv. ich have b:-..cu Lrought hy th 9 Conway..

Three hundred and fifty men, of whom 100 wore
7, each seldiera and the ()there belonging to the crews
of the three :.hips, under tl:e command of Captain
heck awl Lieutenant Heseltine, landed on the
af,ernoon of the ;511 ins-ant, and advanced a'ross
a plain, under a sharp fire from the fort and bat-
tery of grape and musketry. The enemy was driven
wet of the battery, and the guns were spiked. The out-
le,,ek or screen, which had been supposed to he the fort
it ,elf, was stormed and taken. They here discovered the
r. al fort, ehi,..11 i a cireu7ar one, and mounting abut 30
y easeuvitt7d, ?gl in a circular gallery.
v‘all is 11.).eit 30 feet 110-s, ani feirrounded by a ditch
o about the sane width. Possteision was kept of the
• ) of the screen for upwards of hallan hour, and a con-
at ant fire kept up. Having no means of breaching the
w 111, and the men failing fast, they retired, carrying off
tt Hag. for the posse= sion of which the French and Eng-
sailers disputed for a long time, but it was finally
se :led that it sheu:d be equally divided between the two
pr ties, the one obtaining a portion with the word " Rana-
va'o,' and the other with Manjaka,' inscribed. They
bunt the Guard-house, Custom-house, and a con-
sideraWe pert of the town. The firing from the men-of-
r wet; excellent. They landed next day and carried
ofi all the remaining European property. The wounded
were all brought off, but not the killed, whose heads
were next day exposed on the beach, stuck on pikes.
'lhe men-of-war and all the merchant ships sailed from
the harbour.

" English—Four men killQd, and one officer and eleven
nen wounded.

French—Three offiezrs and fourteen men killed, and
01,0 offic..r and forty-two men wounded.
The Zeleo and the Berceau lost each a topmast from
the fire of the enemy ; the Conway had only a few ropes
cut. Nearly all their balls passed over the ships, which
he] anchored about eight hundred yards from the shore."

DOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLING
MAGAZINE.

We have but one chapter St. Giles and St. James
in the present number. St. Giles, attired in decent
livery, arrives in London to attend ou young St. James,
who has engaged him as a groom. On his way to St.
Jars .s's square, he passes the Old Bsiley, and sees
fifteen human beings hanging in frunt of Newgate. The
author thus proceeds:—
" Reader, pause a moment. Drop not the book with sudden
indignation at the writer who, to make the ingredients of his
story thick and slab,' invents this horror. No ;he but copies
from the chronicles of the Old Bailey. Turn to them, incre-
dulous reader, acd you will find that on the balmy morning of
the twenty-third of June, in the year of our offended Lord, one
thowand seven hundred and eighty- four, fifteen human beings
were hanged in front of Newgate : death- offerings to the laws
and virtues of merry England. It was the first day, too, of the
new drop ; and the novel engine must be greeted with a gallant
number. Fame has her laurels : why should not Justice have
her ropes? There was, too, a pleasantry—the devil, if he joke
at all, must joke after some such fashion—in trying the sub-
stance and capacity of a new gallows, by so much weight of
human flesh convulsed in the death struggle. And so—great
was the legislative wit l there were fifteen to be strangled. A
great example this to an erring, law-breaking world of—the
strength of timber
" The Lords of the Privy Council had met, with good King
George the Third at their head, to correct the vices of the
land. There was death for the burglar—death for the footpad
—death for the sheep-stealer—death, death, death for a hundred
different sinners. The hangman was the:social physician, and
was thought to cure all peccant ills. Horrible, ghastly quack!
And yet the King's Majesty believed in the hideous mounte-
bank, and every week, by .his Lords of the Council —the
wise of St. James's—the Magii of the kingdom—the
starred and gartered philosophers and philanthropists—
every week did sacred royalty call upon Jack Ketch
to cure his soul-sick children ! Yea; it was with the
hangman's fingers, that the father of his people touched the
people's ill. And if, in snoth, the malady vas not allayed, it
was for no lack of paternal tending, litce we find in the Old

HERRING FISHERY.

-I,,cenau, Auo. 30.—The fishing on Thursday was
(lie- -yesterday it was in general light. This morning
it i‘ :nude better, being a fair average fishing. From
the talLire in the north several new cures have arrived;
culling prire, 12s. per cran.
llestwicx, AUG. 29. Our fishing on Monday and
Teteelay was pretty good, but since that a failure has
:taken place., and this morning the boats are all clean,
rand we do not hear of any at all. We strongly advise
«Jur men to persevere till the end of September, as on
reimy occasions they have given over the fishing before
af'e grea'er shoals came in shore.
Norrrit SUNDERLAND.—The herring fishing has been
very unsuccessful during the last fourteen days, the
Peather being so bad as t) prevent the boats going to
' until the 24th invent ; and since then the fishing
ibe.s made little improvement, although some few boats
read :t pretty good take on Mondly morning, and on
Toe:flay some boats had as high as twenty-five craze..
0,, Vednesday morning the fishing looked a good deal
bet, er, and all the boats had herrings, more or less, from
one .o twenty-three crans ; but on Thursday the fishing
..vat not so good, the highest boat fourteen crans. Prices
hiring the week from 12s. to 14s.
EyEA ltrra.—During the past week the herring fish-
ingat Epenouth has been carried on with success. On
',fond-y, Tuesdisy, and Wednesday, the take was very
general, “iel tile average, each, may be stated at about
18 trans. On Thursday, however, owing to the tine-
z,.ss of the weather, and perhaps shifting of the shoal,
~berg' 11,e been a complete failure.
Wicie. 23.—Our fishing ',till continues to be
pro although, during the past week, it has been
mu& retarded by rough weather. There is now apros-
pcxtg. arm ndmeet in this respect, and as there are splen-
dtd apt earance.3 of fish on the coast, there is still a
hope cherished of our fishermen being able to make
up tie..ir le, way. None of the boats have yest left ; but
some °four curet.; have had sad work with the Highland
Wren, wan), of whom have sternly refused to go to sea,
m
:from euperstitious supposition that it would be unlucky,
i- long as toe body of one of those who perished here

CLERKENWELL.7-(THIS DAY.)

A young girl applied to the magistrate for a warrant against
:mother female for an assault committed upon her at a public-
house in Clerkenwell, where concerts take place.
The warrant having been granted,
The MAGIETRATE inquirsd if the house in question was
licensed ?--'1 he Usher of the Court replied in the negative.
Mr. GREEN wool) expressed his surprise that those houses
should be permitted to have these concerts without licence.
The Usher said only the lowest of the low went to them.
They were what was called " Cock and Hen clubs."l
Mr. GREENWOOD said that they were on that account, the
more dangerous to morality and order. If public-houses were
emitted to hold these concerts without a license, what need
of any public-house going to the Expense for paying for one.
Inspector Penny said the police were forbidden to interfere
in these matters. It was beyond their cognizance, the penalty
being 1001.
