- But enough of this subject. We propose no more than
to acquaint our readers with the mannerin which any ac-
' count of reverses sustained by us in any part of the World
is received by a porl,ion of the French Press. NOr do
the Ultra-Liberal Journals stand alone in this respect.
The organs of legitimacy are equally indecorously ran-
corous in the expression of their joy at the deplorable
events which took place in Cabool.
There is quite a dearth of political news in the French
papers of Monday. The following extracts from them
are of some interest:—
The Chamber of Deputies was summoned for Monday at three
o'clock, to receive a communication from the Government. This
communication is the presentation of a project of law on the iron
railway.
The Globe of Belgium. publishes the following news :—" We learn
to-day from a person who is so situated as to be able to give the
most correct inforniation, that the accession of the Grand Duchy
of Luxemburg to the German Customs Union, has at length been
agreed to by the King of the Netherlands. M Rochussen, the
Dutch Minister of Finance, has been to London to take the ratifi-
cation of the treaty to the King of Prussia. The following are the
terms in which the ratification on the part of the Grand Duchy is
said to be expressed.
" The Treaty is concluded for the term of one year; if at the
expiration of that year the King Grand Duke should think fit to
cancel the engagement, he is not to conclude any Treats with an-
other party till after the lapse of four years delay from the day in
which he signifies his renunciation of the present Treaty."
The Courrier Beige confirms this news.—Consfitutionnel.
The National announces that Mr. Chapino, Mont Laville, will,
en Thursday next, bring forward in the Chamber of Deputies, the
following proposal :
" Thenceforth the 24th Article of the Law of the lit Law of
the 17th May, 1819, shall be as follows :—The printers of writings,
the authors of which shall be prosecuted by virtue of the present
law, and who complied with the obligations prescribed by the 2d
head of the law of Oct. 21, 1841, shall not be liable to prosecution
merely for having printed these writings, unless they have acted
willingly (scientment), as is stated in Article 60 of the present code."
However, the printers of daily journals can never be considered
as having acted wittingly.

SPECIMENS OF PARLIAMEN-
TARY REPORTING.
Colonel Sibthorp made the following allusion to The Sun last
night in the House of Commons, in his speech on the subject of the
Better Regulation of Railways :
" He (the Hon. and Gallant Colone}) thought that sufficient had
fallen from the public Press on this subject; and he alluded, in
particular, to one Paper, from which he differed In political matters
—he alluded to The Sun, the comments of which on the unfortu.
nate accidents which occurred, were of the most salutary kind, and
whose efforts in urging that some efficient measure should be
adapted to prevent them, conferred great credit on itself."
This manly and generous notice of a political opponent, our
Morning Contemporaries slur over in the following style :
The herald says ;—" The public Press had also done itself
credit by what it had said on the subject. He (Colonel Sibthorp)
alluded particularly to one Paper, from which he generally differed."
The Chronicle does not condescend to notice either the allusion
to the press in general, or The Sun, in particular, but maintains a
total silence on the subject of both remarks.
The Times exhibits an equal reserve.
The Post contents itself with the following report :—" Sufficient
had been shown in public by the public press, to convince them that
an interference on the part of the Government was necessary."

pubitc Optnion.

" Who runs may read."

rostEra.
The accession of the Grand Duchy of w
Luxemburg to the German
Commercial Union has been agreed upon for one year.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the Minister
of Public Works read the Goverment plan for the railroads. The
lines proposed to be executed immediately, at the expense of the
State, are those between Paris and Brussels, by Lille, with branches
fo Calais, Avignon, and Marseilles, and Elle, Paris to Nantes, by
Tours and Orleans, Chalons and Dijon, to Strasburg.
M. Chapuis de Montaville, a Deputy of the Extreme Left, gave
notice on Monday of a motion for a Bill tending to except printers
from the responsibility of articles published in journals, tl.us leay.
ing the responsible publisher alone liable.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d inst. publishes a letter from
St. Petersburgh of the 22d ult., stating that the recal of Count
Pahlen was not connected with any political motive, and that conse-
quently the question of etiquette debated between France and
Russia had not originated with the latter Power. Count Pahlen
will not return to his post, the Emperor having resolved upon no
longer having any Ambassadors at the European Courts, but only
Ministers Plenipotentiary upon special missions.
PUZItIC OPINION.
The Morning Post denies, for at least the hundredth time, that
the present distress is caused by the Corn-laws, observing that the
vast enterprises undertaken without any provision for the recoil,
together with the cupidity, luxuriousness, and hard-keartedness of
the mere seekers after wealth in the manufacturing districts,
mainly tend to produce distress.
The Chronicle warns Sir Robert Peel not to compromise his
remedial measures I,r the eske of rote-catching ; and adds, that
it remains tor him to make the elevation he has conquered an ex-
hibition of glory or of disgrace, such as the greatest may envy, or
the meanest may despise.
The Herald states that the introduction of Lord Stanley 'a Bill
respecting ecclesiastical dignitaries in the West Ludes, is another
indication of business-like energy in the Government to which the
Noble Lord is attached.
The Times denies that the people's petitions are treated with
disrespect.

PARLIAMENTARY.
Lord Brougham, last night, presented the petition of the Edin-
burgh Conference against the Co: n.laws, and expressed his opinion
that Corn-law repeal was not a moral or a religions question, but a
political question.
The Marquis of Lansdowne on presenting a petition from the
woollen manufacturers of Somersetshire and Wiltshire against the
Corn-laws, drew their Lordships' attention to the disastrous state
of the woollen manufacture, both in the North and West of Eng.
land. Lord Ashburton was eloquent on the impropriety of alter.
ing laws whenever the people were distressed, and expressed an
opinion that the woollen manufacture was migrating from the
west to the north of F9gland. After a brief discussion, the peti-
tion was laid on the table.
Lord Clifford postponed a motion of which he had given notice
concerning the Catholic clergy and the Governor of Madras till
after Easter, but in doing so Made several observations on the
case. Their Lordships adjourned before Seven o'clock till Thursday.
In the Commons a great number of petitions were presented for
the repeal of the Corn-laws.
Lord Eliot, in reply to a question, stated that Government would
give no pecuniary assistance towards making ra lvrays in Ireland,
but it would encourage private enterprise to the utmost of its power.
In reply to Lord Palmerston, Slr Robert Peel said that the
treaty for the suppression of the slave trade was nut materially
altered from the time at which it was originally agreed to, till it
was signed, and that the_ ratifications were not to be exchanged
till the 20th inst.
Sir James Graham informed Lord Mahon that the number of
convicts kept at home was diminishing ; that 1,000 had been sent
to work at the fortress of Gibraltar; and that 1,900 or 1,500 more
would be sent away this year.
Sir R. Peel could give no information about Cabool, when asked,
having just received his despatches.
Lord Stanley obtained leave to bring in a Bill to appoint three
Bishops and three Archdeacons to the West India islands, instead
of one Bishop and two Archdeacons. Mr. Labouchere seconded
the motion, it being one of those questions on which both parties
agree. No opposition whatever was made. The new arrangement
will entail no additional expense on the country.
In a Committee of the whole House Mr. Gladstone explained
the new commercial legislation which he proposes fur our colonial
trade. It is somewhat similar to the Bill introduced last year by
Mr. Labouchere. 'We shall print Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, and
will not, therefore, now run the risk of misdescribing them.
Mr. G. Palmer, a Tory, expressed hostility to the measure.
Lord J. Russell defended Mr. Gladstone from his own friends, on
the ground that the plan was like that introduced by Mr. La-
houchere.
Mr. Wakley mocked at the Tories for introducing the Bill of the
Wh'gs.
Sir Robert Peel said he had supported the measure of the last
Government, and recommended the present measure to the favour.
able consideration of the House.
Mr. Labouchere approved of the plan.
The resolutions will be discussed again on the 22d instant.
Mr. Gladstone next moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the
better regulation of railways. After a short debate, leave was given.
Mr. Wallace moved an address to her Majesty, for an inquiry
into the distress at Paisley, which the Hon. Member justly de-
scribed as very great, 17,500 persons receiving relief.
Sir James Graham admitted the distress, and praised the good
conduct of the people, who had suffered with such exemplary
patience and fortitude; but the Government had already received
information of their condition from authentic sources, and he
therefore opposed the ;notion.
Sir Robert Peel, after several other Members had spoken, re-
commended Mr. Wallace to withdraw his 'notion, and not three
Members to vote against it.
Mr. W.illace consented, and withdrew his motion. The debate,
however, is interesting, and worthy of being read.
Mr. Godson obtained leave to bring in a Bill to secure the pro-
perty in copyrights.
The Attorney-General obtained lea. e to bring in a Bill to amend
the Municipal Act.
On the motion for granting a supply to her Majesty, Mr. Wakley
entered his protest against the manner in which the Queen's Speech
had been framed in the present and former Sessions, and avowed his
intention to move amendments in future, should the Speeches not
be different,

The House adjourned at Half.past Nine.
MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
The debts and liabilities of the Tweed Bank are 300,0004, and
somewhere about 10s. in the pound is expected to be paid. The
fishing waters were set up for sale on Wednesday, but let by auc.
tion for one year, there being no bidder.
From the Report of the Manufacturers' Relief Committee, read
at their meeting held yesterday, it appears that in the course of
their charitable labours, the sum of 30,0001. has been distributed
among the operatives of England and Scotland.

The Solicitor-General is at present unopposed.
The Committee of the Reform Association have recommended
the Liberal party to refrain from bringing forward a candidate fur
Liverpool during the present season of social depression and poll.
tieal apathy; but chiefly because a contest would only force their
adversaries to gratify the venal and corrupt among the electors. It
appears from an address published by Mr. Rathbone, the Chairman
of the Committee, that the venal freemen, at the election' in 1830,
received bribes amounting to 19.600/., of which 4,5001, was paid
by the Reformers, and 15,0004 by the Tories.

ber of the House of Commons vacates his seat on_ succeeding to a
Scotch Peerage.

MIS C ZIMANEO
The Forty-eighth Anniversary of the Licensed Victuallers' So.
ciety was celebrated last evening, at White Conduit House, when
between 400 and 500 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Secretary
read the Report, from which it appeared that since the establish.

had been distributed for different charitable purposes.
On the motion of Mr. Ewart a return has been ordered by thel
101/Se of Commons of the number of persons executed, for al
it London and Middlesex, during triennial periods from

for murder in the same periods respectively.
The solemnities observed on Ash Wednesday of old in the
Church were severe and exemplary. Silence was obs,rved; com-
mon prayers used, and ashes and holy water sprinkled on the heads
of the Monks, the l'ricsts saying, " Iteaumber you arc but dust,
and to dust you must return." On this eveving, also, boys used to

The boy Jones has again vanished in a most mysterious manner.
He left home in a clean chirt on Friday morning last, since when
he has not been seen, though a letter has been received from him,
bearing the Portsmouth post.mark, stating that he is going to sea
again. The letter is supposed to have been writen at the dictation
of others. We dare say that the boy will be again found shortly
in Buckingham Palace.

Mr, Maley, alluding to the recent railway accidents, observed
last night in the House of Commons, that " when one or two
Lords had lost their lives, the House would be disposed to sym-
pathise wills them; but until come noblemen had been •sacrificed
