THE POOR-LAW BILL.—We stated yesterday that the
Ministers carried their object on Tuesday night of continu-
ing the Poor-law Commission for five years. In the Times,
however, of this morning, it is said, " that on Tuesday"
Sir James GYetham " did not carry a single clause." To
vindicate our correctness, and show the error of the
Tines, we transcribe from the Votes of the House of
Commons of Tuezday evening the following passage :
" Poor-law Amendment Bill considered in Committee—
First clause, Poor-law Commission continued." After
recapitulating all the divisions on the amendments, the
votesgoon—,'Question put, lirhat the clause as amended
stand rart of the Bill; the Committee divided—Ayes,
146.; Neves, 26."
PRINTING AND STA.TIOIERY.—ACCOrdiIIg, to a return
made to Parliament, the sums paid by the Stationery •
office for printing for the House of Commons during the
five years ending 1840, averaged about 32,000/. each
The charge for the year, 1840 was 32,152/. The
:xpense of printing for the flouse of Lords averages
somewhat more than the third of this amount, and was
for - 1841), 9,718 L The total value of stationery and
stureis vered by her Majesty's Stationery-otfice for the
same years averaged about 145,000/. In 1840-41 the
amount was 143,6511.

THE ASSIZES.-It is ►ratifying to find by our Circuit
Intelligence, that notwithstanding the prevailing dis-
tiTSS, the number of prisoners for trial is not greater than
usual. In numerous towns, indeed, we learn that the ca •
lendsr is very light. Tbis is highly creditable to a
starving people, an 4 should induce our legislators to
forego fiur a t►me at least their class interests, and relieve
our working population, who are not more remarkable
fur their industry when they can find employment, than
for their patient endurance under great privations.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

PARIS, JULY 13.

The Paris papers of to-day are wholly absorbed by
electioneering matters, each drawing their own con-
clusions, and each claiming the victory. The Debits, in
a laws confident tone, however, deplores the cheek its
party has received in Paris, hut trusts the great city
will remain true to its principles, and calculates upon a
majority at least eqtuVi to the last. This paper gives
the result of the general elections as follows :-422 re-
turned (249 Conservatives, 173 Opposition.) The Yrekse
merely confines itseh to the following result, without
any comment whatever :-427 elected, of whom 234 are
Conservatives, and 173 of di4Thrent shades of the Oppo-
sition. The Opposition papers, particularly the Nacional
'consider the advantages gained by Ministers in some cr
ILe provinces
.as more than counter-balanced by the re-
cult of the Paris elections. •

The Con.vt*tionticl calculates upon the Legitimishi
jolning the Liberals :arid the Radicals ; whilst the Guar-
fir)• rtancuis sums up the whole by saying that although
the majority for Ministers remains the same, they must
not reckon without their host ; for the majority of 1842
may be equal to that of 1840, but may feel very differ-
ently disposed ; it has gained some new recruits, but
the .loss it has suffered in such men as Delesser:, Le
Gentil, De Jussieu, Piscatory, Fould, Chaix d'Este,
Ange de Barbat, is not to be repaired, and may pro-
duce disorder in the Ministerial ranks ; in a word,
that the numerical result is scarcely favourable to the
Ministers, whilst the moral result must be their death-
blow.

The Co»unerce, a violent Opposition paper, does not
think it possible the Cabinet of the .9th of October can
hold out against the new Chambers. A Ministerial
crisis, it pretends, is at hand, and that M. Guizot had
better at once make his will.
The truth is, Ministers expect to gain about twenty
on the lute Chambers, and they are disappointed, and, as
the Opposition will have it, defeated.
Foust o'CLocK.—There now only remain six returns
of Deputies to be known. Ministers have the certainty
therefore, of 75 to 80 in their favour.
