QIHOOTING.—The Heather-coloured JACKET
kJ of Llama Wool retains the principles of Shape given ii NicolPs
Registered Paletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, It
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in
the country ; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, is truly good. The Heather recommended, but many
patterns may be seen at most of the agents in the principal country
towns, or at the spacious Warehouses, 114, Regent-street, London.

Thus it is clear, Mr. Brewer's patent is not only more
durable, but possesses a sustaining power nearly double
that of the Government block, as, from the above table,
we find in the second trial with a single block, leather-
cogged, with wire strap, Mr. Brewer's block sustained a
weight of upwards of five tons, with no more damage
than merely straightening the hook that supported it,
whereas the Government block, with only half that
weight attached to it, broke, as it did in the great majo-
rity of the trials.

the Stock in Trade Bill.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD brought in the Tenants (Ireland)

REMOVAL OF PAUPERS BILL.
On bringing up the report on this Bill,
Sir DENHAM NORREYS objected to the provisions of
the Bill as making a provision for English paupers, while there
was no provision for Irishmen.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said hat, inasmuch as the expense
of the removal of these paupers that,
thrown upon the English
parishes, he thought, that if any one, the great towns, such as
London or Liverpool, where great numbers of Irishmen resided,
would have the most reason to complain.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD objected to the early por-
tions of the second clause, as separating families and dividing
the members from each other.

After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. PALMER,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that, according to the pro-
visions of this Bill, no head of an Irisltfamily could be divided
from the others without the Othorielrineurring very servers

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH.— A most important and interesting
trial of the sustaining and other service properties of the
blocks used in the Royal Navy, and a patent invention of
Mr. H. N. Brewer, of Bermondsey, has been made in
this dockyard during the last few days, by order of the
Lords of the Admiralty, under the superintendence of
the Master-Rigger, and in the presence of the patentee
and all the chief officers of the dock-yard, the result. of
which has proved beyond a doubt the vast svperiority
of Mr. Brewer's patent over the old mode of mane-
facture at present pursued in our dockyards. The plan
at present adopted in cutting blocks tor the navy is
cutting them the same way as the grain of the wood runs,
whereby the probability of splitting or breaking when a
strain is upon them is very manifest. Mr. Brewer's plan-
ant: patent consists in cutting his block the reverse way
of the grain ; consequently the adhesive qualities of the
block as well as the sustaining power are considerablyincreased, as the following tabl of the result of the trial
(which is copied from the Master-Rigger's report) will
prove at a glance :

IRISH POLICE FORCE.

Lord CLEMENTS then rose, according to notice, to
move the consideration of the petitions of John Conniff,
E. Kirwan, Robert Clegg, and Joseph Boyd, formerly in
the Irish police; and further, to recommend some change
being made in the regulations of that body. The Noble
Lord read at great length testimonials in favour of the
petitioners, and complained of the manner in which the
police in Ireland was managed. He was of opinion
that they should have a standing police force in Ireland.
An armed body was necessary even in the least disturbed
districts. He hoped that the Right llon. Baronet would
take these matters under his consideration, and take the
proper measures for the better regulation of the police
force in Ireland.

Sir T. FREMANTLE hoped he would be excused at
that hour of the night, and under the circumstances, of
going at length into the subject which the Noble Lord
had brought forward. The Right Hon. Gentleman then,
in an exceedingly low and rapid tone, referred to the
parties named in the motion, all of whom, he said, had
been removed upon good cause. They had been con-
victed of insubordination and general bad conduct, and
on those grounds they were dismissed the service. The
reasors upon which the step complained of was taken,
was to the Government quite satisfactory, and they exone-
rated all parties concerned from any blame.
Mr. SIIEIL wished to ask to ask a question. It was,
how the patronage of the Constabulary Force was ar-
ranged? Under the late Government, he understood that
two-thirds were appointed by Colonel M.Gregor.
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE—One-third. The
remainder were in the hands (.f the Lord Lieutenant.
The motion was then negatived without a division.
SUPPLY.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee of
Supply.

bags 200 casks Mauritius, 1,165 bags Bengal, 2,730 bags
Madras, and 218 baskets Java, nearly all of which found
buyers, but went off very irregularly, although generally at

ditto at 46s to 475, being, for the former, barely the previous
value, and at which prices there were not purchwers. The
East India was chiefly di-posed of at 34s to 42s 6d for good
ord. mixed to bold good yellow Singapore Java, and good
ord. Padang, at 255, which are about former rates.

e' songs are written, not only poetically, but
kelodousl, and we hope that Eugenia Parham
Rolfe will write many more ballads. The sentiment
of the wOrds has been well translated into the uni-
versal language, music, by Mr. St. Leger, and the
fl)rpaments prove that be is not a mere dilettanti
oposer of melody, but an accomplished, we may
add, a learned musician.

regarded the convention made between the American and
British Governments with respect to the slave trade would be
laid on the table.
Sir T. FREMANTLE said that he should be able to give
an answer on Monday to that question.
Captain PEC HELL inquired whether the Admiralty could
give any information as to the number of vessels belonging to
America employed on the African station, under the convention
with America.

Sir T. FREMANTLE replied that if the Admiralty were
in possession of the information desired by the Hon. and Gallant
Member he should have it.

had been taken by the Government with respect to the guano
which was at present obtained for nothing from the vicinity of
the Cape of Good Hope by vessels going. there.
Mr. CARDWELL said that permission had been given for
the guano to be taken at present ; but some arrangements were

CALL OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. HUME said, as he had understood from the Clerk
of the House that there was a sufficient number of Members to
attend the Railway Committees, and to attend those which
would be yet constituted, he would not press the matter further,
but let his motion drop. Such was the wish, he believed, of the
House generally, but if there had been any necessity for a
larger attendance of Members, in order to discharge the public
business, he would most certainly• have pressed his motion.
Notwithstanding the backward state of public business, there
had been no House on the previous evening, though there was
a sufficient number of Members attending the Committees up
stairs to constitute a House. He thought that when that was
the case in future those Members should be summoned by the
Sergeant-at-Arms.

The SPEAKER was understood to say that the appearance
of the Sergeant at-Arms with his mace before a Committee
would not only terminate its sittings upon that day, but alto-
gether.—(Laughter.)
Mr. ESCOIT gave notice that he would on Monday ask a
question relative to the dismissal of Lieut. Holies from the East
India Company's service.

AC!atEMICAL EDUCATION (IRELAND).
Sir R. INGLIS requested of the Right Hon. Baronet to
postpone the second reading of this Bill. He made the request
at the instance of a great number of individuals, who felt
deeply interested in the measure.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that as the Irish Members on both
sides of the House were desirous that some time should elapse
between the first and second reading, he would postpone
_the
second reading to Friday next.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

It was then moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn
until Monday next.
POOR-LAW AMENDMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. HUME hoped the Government would postpone the
second reading of the Poor-law Amendment ( Scotland) Bill,
in order that the people of Scotland might have time to ex-
press their opinions upon so important a subject.
The LORD-ADVOCATE said he would postpone it to
Friday next.
Mr. HUME said that period was too near.
Sir R. PEEL said it could then be further postponed.
Mr. M. BELLEW put a question regarding the manage-
ment of the Dublin Scientific Societies, which was not audible.

Sir T. FREMANTLE said he had not been able sufficiently
to give his attention to the subject to be in a conditimi to give
an answer at present. He would inquire more particularly
into the matter.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mau 23.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Mr. P. HOWARD moved, " That it be an instruction
to the Committee on the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car-
lisle Railway Bill, to consider the petition of the Car-
bile Carel Company (presented 30th of April), notwith-
standing the same was not presented three clear days
before ihe day appointed for the first meeting of the
Committee."

Some discussion arose, but the motion was ultimately
(as we understood) withdrawn.
The report of the Great North of England (Rich •
mond Branch), was brought up and laid on the table.
On the motion of Mr. LIDI)ELL, the report on the
Wiltshire, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Bill was
further considered, and ordered to be printed.
Sir G. GREY brought up the report of the Committee
on Irish Railways, which was r rdered to lie on the table.
The Lady's Island and Tacurnshin Embankment Bill
was moved for a second reading.

It was opposed by Mr. REDINGTON and supported by
Mr. F. S. MURPHY.

'The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the motion
For the a nendment
Majority
The Bill was then read a second time.
Mr. WODEHOUSE presented petitions agains the
Eastern Union Railway Bill.
Mr. I)EE DES presented a prlition from the Earl of
Romney against the Rochester branch of the South-
Eastern Raills ay. Also a petition from the Earl of
Romney against the Croydon Railway Extension.
CoIsnieIROLLESTON presented a petition against
the Erewash Valley Railway.
Mr. S. WORTLEY rose to move a resolution, in con-
formity with that recommended by the First Report of
the Committee on Railways of last Session, viz.:—
" That the following clause be inserted in all railway
Bills passing through this House :—And he it further
enacted, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed
or construed to exempt the railway by this or the said
recited Acts authorised to be made from the provisions
of any general Act relating to such Bills, or of any
general Act relating to railways, which may hereafter pass
during the present or any future session of Parliament.
And that the said resolution be a Standing Order of
