LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five.
After a short conversation on the subject of Mr.
BARRY and the new Houses of Parliament,
The Small Debts Bill was read a second time.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then complained of
the want of sufficient accommodation at the Harbours of
Port Patrick and Donaghadee, after which—
Lord STANLEY brought in a Bill to enable tenants in
Ireland to obtain compensation for improvements which
they might make in the land occupied by them. While
awarding all due merit to emigration as a partial remedy
for some of the evils under which the Irish laboured, the
Noble Lord said that he did not consider it as capable of
relieving the general distress which now prevailed in
Ireland. They must, therefore, increase the em-
ployment at home so as to make it adequate to the
wants of the population. There were vast districts in
Ireland, capable of being brought into cultivation, and
by thus affording employment to the population, for,
taken as a whole, Ireland was not an over-peopled
country. What they wanted was capital for the em-
ployment of labourers, and• the object of the Govern-
ment was to induce the occupying tenant to expend
capital upon the improvement of the land ; and the
only way to do that was, to give the tenant some security
for his investment. The Government therefore pro-
posed, that if a tenant were obliged to leave his farm
before he realised the benefit of his improvements, that
compensation should be given him for any improve-
ments he might have made in building, draining, or
fencing. He proposed that with respect to buildings,
they should be valued at thirteen ) ears' purchase, di-
minishing a thirteenth every year ; so that if a tenant
remained in possession thirteen years, after the erection
of a building, he should be entitled to no compensation.
In the same manner, he proposed to estimate drain-
ing at fourteen years' purchase, and he proposed
that the land gained by the removal of embank-
ment fences should be added to the holding of the
tenant, and estimated at twenty years' purchase.
The Noble Lord then proceeded to detail the machinery
by which he proposed to carry the plan into effect,
namely, by the establishment of a Board of Commis-
sioners in Dublin to act as arbitrators between landlords
and tenants, and to whom tenants might refer before
commencing the improvements.
The House was afterwards addressed by several
Noble Lords, ultimately the Bill was read a first time
and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next.

After disposing of the other orders of the day, their
Lordships adjourned at ten o'clock.
... . .

The House of Commons met at a Quarter before
Four o'Clock.
Lord EDWIN HILL took the oaths and his seat for
Downshire.

The ratification of the treaty with France on the sub-
ject of the Right of Search was laid on the table by Sir
R. PEEL.

In answer to Mr. S. WORTLEY, the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet stated that there were no negotiations pending for
a commercial treaty with Portugal. _

The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Scotch Banking Bill, and the whole of the clauses were
agreed to.
The House, after some preliminary discussion, then
went into Committee on the Irish Banking Bill.
Clauses 1 to 32 were agreed to, when the CHAIRMAN re-
ported progress, and the House adjourned at one o'clock.

The more pacific character and generally-modified
tone of the last intelligence from the United States are
indications of a wholesome aspect in the relations of that
Government with our own, on which we heartily congra-
tulate our readers. In the recent Convention between
England and France for the repression of the slave-trade,
as well as in many of the discussions of the Chambers,
we perceive the grounds of a well-founded presumption
that the serious misunderstandings which of late years
have gone so near to precipitate a hostile collision be-
tween the two monarchies, are becoming day after day
less probable, or at least less dangerous. Yet still we
adhere to that fundamental maxim of an insular policy,
that the best guarantee for peace is a condition prepared
for war. And it is, therefore, that we give the Govern-
ment due credit for the unremitted exertions they are
making in the dock and building yards, and in the
manning of our ships, to get up the navy to that pitch of
efficiency which the periodical statements of Sir CHARLES
NAPIER, Captain BERHELEY, and other naval authori
ties, backed by the remonstrances of the Press, have
shown to be indispensable to the security and greatness
of this empire. We are willing to hope we shall hear
no more of such absurdities as the sending out ships of
war with peace complements, as they are called; the ab-
surdity of which may be thus illustrated: that if in war
time it takes so many hands to work a gun of a given
calibre and weight, and to handle sails of such and such
dimensions, and to work a ship of such a given tonnage,
in time of peace it will require no more than one-half of
the same hands to perform the same services and go
through the same work. An admirable device of the
Board of Admiralty to secure the loss of such ships
when gales and hurricanes take it into their heads to
blow, just the same as if they, too, were on a peace esta-
blishment, and for disgusting sailors in peace with the
double work which devolves on a ship's complement, re-
duced by one-half, that they will scarcely be tempted to
enter voluntarily in war time, when they must naturally,
though it be erroneously, even anticipate increased de-
mands on their physical energies. But it cannot be too
often insisted upon—first, " that in the event of a
war, its issue must be determined, so far as this
country is concerned, by the maintenance of a de-
cided superiority in that main arm of maritime power,
our steam navy ; and, secondly, that of all other de-
scriptions of naval force this it is which it is least
possible to provide and organise on a sudden emergency.
It follows that it should be a paramount object of any
English Minister's solicitude to be at all times prepared
with a fleet of war steam-vessels and ships that in point
of size and construction, of number, equipment, and effi-
ciency, shall be available for active service at the shortest
possible notice. Now, as to the requisites of size and
construction, we may reasonably hope that the awakened
vigilance of Parliament and the public, acting upon that
department of the national service which is more pecu-
liarly charged with the superintendence of naval affairs,
will have very shortly reformed past errors, adopted
all- tried and successful improvements, and brought
to bear all the zeal, perseverance, and industry
of a Board entrusted with enormous funds, and respon-
sible to a watchful and jealous people for their adminis-
tration is a manner to uphold the vital interests and
vindicate the honour of the country. With regard to the
essentials of equipment and efficiency, they may be, and
are, in reference to the number of the vessels, compara-
tive only. It is enough that there should be a nucleus
of first-class steam ships of war of the strongest force
and most formidable armament, fully manned, and
worked by the most powerful and best protected
machinery, provided you have the means of increasing
your steam fleet at the first outbreak of any hostile col-
lision, or in anticipation of its immediate advent, at a
very few days' notice. From recent revelations in the
House of Commons, it is to be concluded that we have
already something more than such a nucleus to boast of,
in a state of complete and effective preparation—and by
the time that the other large war steamers, already built,
shall have had those alterations and improvements com-
pleted of construction, position of engines, and adapta-
tion of the screw and the propeller, to the immediate adop-
tion of which Sir G. COCKBURN has pledged himself in the
most emphatic manner, we shall have a force of war
steamers superior to all the combined steamer fleets that
other maritime powers could bring against us. But if
we look at the number of armed steamers which England
at any moment would be in a condition to take up for
war service, whether on the high seas, or on the coasts
or up the hsrbours and rivers of an enemy's country, her
own superiority in this suprt-me arm of naval poser is
manifestly incontestible. The history of nations, per-
haps, does not present a parallel to such a cumulative
force.

A return, which was moved for by Admiral DUNDAS
on the 18th of March last, and was
on the 2d instant by the House of Co ordered to be • d
is now before
Commons, is
and us. It is entitled 6f A Return of thein printed
ports
horse-
power, the
descrip-
tion of all steam-vessels
and registeredwhere
inbuilt,
United iiingdom,
power, length, breadth, draught of water, :1;4 nwrh"a-t
armament capable of earrylog." We boli,ve that this
valuable document is mainly owing to the ill-
€l
uiries of a commissioner, dispatched some year and a-
half ago by the Government to the principal eutports,
with the view of tocertaining how many of the larger

steamers engaged in the passage, or carrying, and the
coasting trade, could be converted in an interval of a
few days into vessels of offensive and defensive arma-
ments. The statistics of this paper are eminently satis-
factory in relation to those very important subjects of
inquiry. We have devoted some time to extract afe
results that may, in part, compensate for the want of
arrangement and simplicity which are to be complained
of in the preparation of the " return." The only clas-
sification attempted in it is of ports. But there are no
added up aggregates to guide the judgmen to' the
reader, or rather to facilitate it. We have summed up
a total of upwards of 800 steamers of all tonnage and
dimensions ; and the deductions to be made for disabled
or laid-up are so few, that they would scarcely infringe
upon that number. There are not twenty reported as
engaged in service abroad ; and of those the ma-
jority are serving in Egypt or in India. The whole
return is entirely exclusive, of course, of all steamers in
the QUEEN'S service, of whatever kind. For the port of
London are reported between 250 and 260 ; and of these
no less than 109 are armed, or capable of carrying the
armaments respectively assigned to them. These arma-
ments would comprise, of swivel guns, 2,3, and 4-
pounders, and " small guns," twenty-five; of 6-pounders,
ninety-four ; of 8,9, and 10-pounders, twenty ; of 12-
pounders, thirty-five ; of 12-pounder carronades, thir-
teen ; of 18-pounders, forty-five, and of 18-pounder
carronades a like number ; of 18 long•pounders, thirty •
one ; of 24-pounders, two; of 32 long-pounders, fourteen;
and ditto carronades, fourteen ; of 68-pounders, two
guns. One steamer is pierced for twenty guns ; fifteen
will carry what are designated heavy guns, to the
number of about seventy ; and another will moue:
ten guns. For Liverpool forty-two steamers are re-
ported; adapted for an armament of eight 6-pounders
to only four 12-pounders; twelve 18-pounders, and four
32-pounders, on 28 vessels. Bristol returns 27 steamers;
among them the Shamrock, of 301 tons; the Rose, of
340 tons; the Osprey, of 228 tons ; the Great Western,
of 679 tons, and the majestic Great Britain, which
" may be fitted for carrying 40 guns." Of these 27
vessels, 12 are armed, or capable of carrying armaments.
Hull returns 26 steamers, every one of which comes
within the more respectable category. Newcastle re-
turns the astonishing number of 146 steam-vessels, a
'large proportion of them of superior dimensions and
capabilities. Glasgow 61, of which nine are entirely
mortar boats, and many others carry guns of the largest
calibre. We may hereafter enter more largely into the
particulars comprised in this return ; but we have
enough, we trust, to justify us in saying that no
Englishman can look on the actual force—availa-
ble of immediate extension—and gradually increasing
aggregate of our steam navy, without a proud but serene
consciousness of his country's maritime greatness, and
unbounded confidence, if she be but true to it, in the ade-
quacy of its resources to meet any exigencies at any
moment—so long as this confidence shall not generate a
laxity of administration in the civil departments of the
service. There is still much to do; and nothing is to
be considered certain, humanly speaking, whilst aught
remains to be done in that further progress to complete-
ness and efficiency which our honour and our interests
alike demands.

The Madrid Gazette of the Ist inst. publishes a law
passed by the Cortes, by which the sum of 159,000,000 reels
(1,590,0001.) is appropriated for the maintenance of the clergy,
and also a royal decree appointing a commission of three
clergymen and two civilians, the Archbishop of TOLEDO, pre-
sident, to superintend the expenditure. Also a decree con-
firming the contract entered into with the bank of San Fer-
nando opening a credit of 100,000,000 reals for the stipends
of the clergy and the maintenance of public worship durng
the present year. The Finance Minister was actively en-
gaged in organising the system for levying the
income-tax passed last session, and the Minister
of the Interior was preparing the organic laws.
Subscriptions had been opened for paying the fines
which may be imposed on the proprietors of the Espectador
and Clamor Publico. The QUEEN reached Valencia on the
29th of May. Intelligence of the abdication of Don CARLOS
had reached Madrid, but not in an official form.

The Three per Cents. closed at 32% for cash, and 333% at
60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 221/ for cash, and 22% at
60 days.

The French Chamber of Deputies was engaged, during
the latter part of last week, in discussing the Bills for lines
of railway from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon
and the debate on the first Bill was brought to a close on
Saturday, when, without any material alteration, it was
adopted by a large majority. M. MURET DE BORT had pro-
posed an amendment, the object of which was to compel
the Lyons Company to use the Orleans Railway line, as
a trunk common to both, as far as Corbeil, but the
Chamber negatived the amendment. The line will,
consequently, run from the Paris terminus, to be esta-
blished on the right bank of the Seine, near the site of the
Bastille, cross the communes of Bercy and Charenton, pass
"Villeneuve Saint Georges, between the town and the Seine;
ascend to the high grounds of the Brie, by the valley of the
Yeres, and proceed along these grounds to the town of
Melun ; thence to Fontainebleau, near which town it will
pass ; it will then traverse the valley of the Loing, between
Moret and St. Mamet, and following the valley of the Seine,
arrive at Montereau, proceeding along the valley of the
Yonne, as far as La Roche ; thence ascend through the
valley of the Armancon to Aisy ; then go through
the valleys the Brenne and the Oze ; cross at
Blaisy-Bas the high ground between the Seine and
the Saone, and arrive at Dijon at such a point
as shall be determined on by the Government. The Chalons
to Lyons line will be established on the right bank of the
Same, pass near Sennecey, on to Tournus and Macon, and
traverse the city of Lyons at a point to be decided on by the
Government before the public adjudication. The following
is article 64, which relates to caution money :—" Whoever
proposes to send in a tender for the adjudication must pre-
viously deposit in the Caisse des Depots et Consignations,
24,000,000 f. in cash, State stock, or public securities, of which
sum 6,000,000 f. shall be set apart specially as caution money
for the sections from Paris to Dijon, and from ChMons to
Lyons." The Finance Minister said, as the sum required
for caution money was only 16,000,000 f., out of the 24,000,000 f.,
he should propose that such sum be deposited pre-
viously, as required by the article, but that the other
8,000,000 f., which was considered as part payment of the sum
to be paid the State for the works which they might
have executed on the line, should be paid before the Royal
ordinance was passed approving of the statutes of the
Company. The duration of the lease is fixed at forty-five
years. The Lyons and Avignon line was also adopted, and
the amendment of M. BOISSY D'ANGLAs, to have it pass
on the right bank of the Rhone, rejected. It was announced
in the Chamber, that, on Monday, the Minister of Marine
would propose an extraordinary vote of credit for 10,000,000
francs, to carry out the new treaty for the suppression of the
slave-trade. Some of the papers state, that Admiral DUPE-
TIT THOUARSI will be appointed to the eommand of the fleet,
to be stationed on the African coast, for carrying the treaty
into effect. He will hoist his flag in a fiftygun frigate, and
Captain BOUET VUILI•AItu7, who attended the Duke DE
BROGLIE, in London, during the negotiations, will be the
second in command. The Minister of Marine had addressed
a circular to the Marine Prefects, recommending the use of
tubular boilers for the steamers of the royal navy, as the old
boilers became unfit for service. As these boilers are at pre-
sent entirely constructed abroad, the Minister recommend the
Prefects to direct the attention of the iron-masters to the
subject, in order to induce them to supply suck boilers
without having recourse to foreigners. The following
particulars of the arrival of the Royal Family at Bizy
appear in the Moniteur :—" On Wednesday, the KING, the
QUEEN, the Duchess of ORLEANS, the Count DE PARIS, the
Duke DE CHARTRES, the Duke and Duchess of S.txx Co-
BURG, and the young Duke of WUYTEMBURG, attended by
Generals Count FRIANT and DE CHABANNES, MM. DE MONT-
GUYON and DE MONTMORENCY, two orderly officers, and the
suite of their Majesties and Royal Highnesses, were received
at the Vernon station by the Prefect, General LALAING
D'AUDENARDS, the Commandant of the National Guard, and
the other authorities. The royal party immediately entered
their carriages, and proceeded to the Chateau de Bizy. The
KING soon afterwards came out again on foot, leading the
Count DE PARIS by the hand, and accompanied by the young
Dukes DE CHARTRES and WURTEMHURG, and reviewed the
troops drawn up on the road, by whom and a large assemblage of
the people he was received with loud and continued acclama-
tions. After the review his MAJESTY re-entered the chateau,
and received the Bishop of EvnEux, and the civil and mili-
tary authorities."
On Friday afternoon the royal party returned to Neuilly
in excellent health.

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :

" The Mode, a Paris journal, says—' Whatever may be asserted
to the contrary, the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies is de.
terrained on, and the new elections are to take place in the month
of November next.' "

" The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 4th instant announces
that, in consequence of the Minister of Commerce having re-
cently modified the quarantine regulations, without previously
consulting the Sanitary Board of that city, the members, consider.
ing their dignity compromised, and being unwilling to incur the
responsibility of acts to which they have not been parties, have all
sent in their resignations.

" The Egyptian steamer Nile arrived at Marseilles on the 2d
inst. from Leghorn, where she had called in on her passage from
Alexandria. Halim Bey, one of the sons of the Pacha of Egypt,
came passenger in that vessel, with 23 young Egyptians.
" A Vienna letter of the 29th ult. says One of our Archdukes
will go to Gotha to pay the compliments of the Court to the Queen
of England on her arrival there, and it is said that the King of
Prussia will have an interview with her Majesty, but it is net pro-
bable that this will take place at Berlin.'''

RA.U.WAY ACCIDENTS.--WO publish in another part
of The Sun, the return made by the Railway Depart-
ment of the Board of Trade of the accidents that have oc-
curred for the quarter ending the Ist of April this year.
It is a remarkable fact, that all the fatal accidents (which
amount to 22), except 4, happened t persons connected
with the railway lines. Only two p...ssengers, one tres-
passer, and a girl of eleven years of age, were killed.
The other accidents, not fatal, bear about the same pro-
portion. Indeed, the accidents by railways are not one
quarter of what formerly took place by coaches.
