CANADA. .

Mr. HUME moved for returns of the manner in which
the sum of 108,0001. granted to Canada had been ex-
pedned.—Agreed to.
BELFAST ELECTION.—RESUMED DEBATE.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had reported, as Chairman
of the Belfast Committee, the unanimous resolution of
that Committee that they could not proceed with any
satisfaction to themselves or justice to the parties with-
out having the power to appoint two agents, one for
each party. They came to this resolution after full
deliberation. He would therefore move that the power
be given to the Committee (as we understood).
Sir JAMES .GRAHAM said the proposal took him
by surprise, as it was a question of great importance.
He would •suggest to the Hon. and Learned Member
whether it would not have been more in accordance with,
the established rules of the House to have given notice of
tb, motion.

Mr. S. WORTLEY said that the lima difficulty. re-
ferred to in the case of the Belfast Committee, had been
felt by the Committee in the Southampton Election.
Sir G. GREY suggested that notice should be given
that the debate should be taken to-morrow.

Mr O'CONNELL said that his object was to give the
Committee, as near as possible, a judicial character.
He would not resist the proposition of the Right Hon.
Baronet, to postpone the motion till to-morrow ; and he
now gave notice accordingly, that he would'to-morrow
move that the Committee be empowered to appoint
the agents.
Mr. FERRAND gave notice that he would meet
the motion with a direct negative, and would divide the
House.—(A laugh.)
SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION INQUIRY.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY gave notice that he
would to-morrow move for a similar authority for the
Southampton Committee, as would be asked for by the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin for the Belfast
Committee.

Mr. FERRAND gave notice that he would meet this
motion also by a direct negative, and would divide the
House upon it.—(Laughter.)
FOREST OF DE AN BILL.

Mr. HUME postponed the motion of which he bad
given notice on this Bill, till the brinzingup the Report.

SCAUCITY OF SILVER.

Mr. HUME would take this opportunity of asking
whether the Government had found, in the course of
this day, that there v, as a real deficiency in silver or
not, because he had two or three representations from
the city, that the difficulty of procuring it was so great,
that it gave rise to extreme inconvenience ; so much so,
that an individual who had a number of workmen to pay,
every evening had sent to the Bank for one pound's
worth of silver, and was refused it. Unless some means
were taken by the Government before Saturday, the
day of paying wages generally, the greatest possible in-
convenience would arise.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was not quite three weeks since it v. as stated to him, on
authority competent to judge, that the quantity of silver
was so excessive that an application was made to the
Government to take it back. At present he believed
that the demand for silver was excessive.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the state of things at the
present .time, and not what was past.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,

the time he referred to Has three weeks ago:
Mr. HUME said the Right Hon. Gentleman had not
glven a distinct answer, and he wished to have a di-
rect one.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
the Hon. Gentleman could not have heard him. He had
stated that about three weeks ago it was represented
that the quantity of silver was excessive, and that
a demand was made to the Government to take
it back ; he had stated, also, that this day the
supply was represented to be deficient, and he had taken
all the means in his power to supply the deficiency.
DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the Order of the Day being read for going into
Committee on the Drainage (Ireland) Bill,
Lord ASHLEY asked fur precedence for his Bill on
the employment of children in collieries.
The SPEAKER said it could not be taken first, un-
less the two Orders of the Day standing betore it were
postponed till after the other Orders of the Day.
After some conversation it was resolved to take the
Orders as they stood. .
The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Drainage (Ireland) Bill.
Clauses from 1 to 6 were agreed to.
Clause 7 was agreed to, with some verbal amendments.
Clause 8 was agreed to.
Clause 9 was agreed to, with some verbal amendments.
Clause 10 and 11 were agreed to.
Clause 12 was agreed, to, with some verbal amend-
ments.
. Clauses 13 and 14 were agreed to.
Clause 15 was agreed to, with some verbal amend-
ments. ,

Clauses from 16 to 60 were agreed to without' any
amendments.

Clause 61 was agreed to after a short conversation.
Clauses 62 up to 110 were agreed to without amend-
ment.

On clause 111 being proposed,
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN proposed the omission of
the following words from the clause :—" And the
same respective sums of money, with such in-
terest for the same as aforesaid, shall also be charged
upon all other land any part whereof shall be
situate within one mile of the lands so drained or im-
proved, and which shall stand settled with the land so
drained or improved, to the same uses, intents, and pur-
poses, by virtue of limitation contained in the same in-
strument or the same set of instruments, but s bject as
to such other land to the full amount of all incumbrance
affecting the same prier to the date of said award."
Lord ELIOT said he could not accede to the amend-
ment. The Hon. Member for Limerick stood alone in
his views on this subject

Sir R. i'EIiGUSON did not agree with the proposed
amendment, which was an Irish mode of improvement,
to lay out the profits of good land in cultivating what was
worth nothing.
The amendment was then negatived without a division,
and the clause was agreed to.
On clause 156 being proposed,
Mr. O'CONNELL moved the following addition :
" Provided always, and be it enacted, that nothing in this
Act contained shall extend to or affect the powers vested
in the Company of Undertakers of the Grand Canal Com-
pany, by an Act of Parliament passed in the Parliament of
Ireland in the eleventh and tvt elfth years of the reign of
George the Third, intituled, " An Act for enabling car
taro persons to carry on and complete the Grand Canal,"
and other subsequent Acts, amending and extending t!le
provisions of the said recited Act, nor to authorise
or enable the said Commissioners to interfere with
the woks or lessen the supply of water to any canal
or navigation in Ireland, made and maintained by the
authority of Parliament."
Lord ELLIOT objected to the clause. 11a
thought the original clause was sufficient.

DEATH OF MR. YATFS.—We regret tá announce
the death of Mr. Frederick Yates, the spirited, enterprising,
and talented performer- and nranager of the Adelphi
Theatre, which took place yesterday Ifternoon at Euston-
square, haying just reached town by the Birmingham Railway.

SPORTING.

The Ascot settling, which was heavy, took place on
Monday, and passed off without a default : this is
something, as times go. Some complicated cases
were disposed of by the Stewards of the Jockey Club,
and a great deal more was said than done about ar-
ranging the outstanding Epsom accounts. The an-
nouncement that no less than twelve new matches
have been made for the October meetings, thanks
being due for most of them to the Hon. and Gallant
Member for Westminster, shows that a proper spirit
is abroad—to speak more correctly, at home--and that
the absence of the many middle men tends rather to
increase than diminish sport—so •out of evil does
good arise. Meanwhile, let us to Hampton.
The popularity of the. Moulsey-hurst meeting is
astonishing. Richmond is the favourite terminus of
the four-in-hand club, but there are few teams that
do not run the second stage during Hampton race
week. Several of the regular bang-ups have, how-
ever, been absent this week, new ones, with
strange coachmen, being put on to supply their places.
As the railways have so entirely superseded stage-
coaches, the rising generation will not have the same
opportunity as their predecessors of learning the art
—the how and exactly which way to guide four run-
ning horses. I heard of no accident ; but as I was
asked the question, I certainly should prefer a seat
on the boiler to a seat on the box with some of these
modern Jehus. These railways ruin us, say the
pikemen—while the South-Western was crowded, the
road was scarcely dusty.
The stands were well-filled ; the gambling booths
more numerous than usual. Varied and astonishing
were the divertisements between the acts : Herr
Dobler himself might take a lesson, and the artistes
of her Majesty's 'theatre here see feats which would
make them laugh at their own more valuable pirou-
ettes. At a place like Hampton, the races are a
minor consideration; few people care or think of what
horses are about to run, and betting bows to cham-
pagne and cold fowl luncheon—the most important
part of the day's proceedings. Even Tommy Lye,
so certain to win all three races, forgot to inquire
what time they would start, arriving just in time to
hear what had won the first heat : the jockeys had
waited about twenty minutes, and it was of course
decided to be a start. Vibration, not good enough to
start for the Oaks, gives the winner of that race Nibs.,
and beats her, rather to the astonishment of those who
fancy they know every thing. The course at Hamp-
ton is a very awkward one, and two of the turns are
sharp. The favourite—Our Nell, as she is named—
went away just as she pleased, and my only sur-
prise was that she did not bolt altogether, so little
command did the lad (sst. 101 b.) appear to have over
her. Unpunctual as they were, the races were over
in good time.
Thursday is the grand dav: her Majesty's guineas
a greater attraction than the Cup, you think : not a
bit. People like a crowd, and unless a crowd there
be, the popular opinion is that there is - nothing worth
seeing : hence the orders and free admissions to the
different theatres. More drags, more gypsies, more
moutebanks, more Jim Crows, more ghosts of host-
lers, then are to be seen, on the middle day, than on
the Wednesday and Friday together. One is apt to
say, " Where the devil do they all come from ?" Rails
and roads this day had each their due share of patron-
age. The Hurst Cup, 40 pounds, all in specie (that
is, light sovereigns, I suppose), produced two capital
and two very moderate heats. Her Majesty's Plate,
which, after some discussion, was run over two miles
of ground (the proper distance), was won very easily
by' Vakeel ; claimed afterwards, for the second time in
seven days, for five hundred. This must prove a
highly satisfactory race to the owner of Ajax,
the nag that beat Satirist, rode by James Robin-
son, at even weights at Ascot. Poor Ajax ! he
has lived to do a great' thing : properly managed,
he may live to do another. Eight heats in the broil-
ing sun were too much for my complexion ; I there-
fore left the Albert Stakes to their fate, determined to
return and see the Stewards' Handicap run on Friday.
The liberality of the stewards (Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence and. Lord Southampton) should be men-
tioned, it being contrary to custom at Hampton to
hear of a Stewards' Plate of 1001. In the name of
all gypsies, conjurors, and other depredators, then, I
tender thanks so justly due. Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence was present each day, and Captain Beauclerk
acted on behalf of Lord Southampton. The racing
on Friday was first rate, and the Stewards' Plate pro-
duced by far the best race of the three days. Every
one thought Johnny would win, but the appropriately-
named seventeen-hand-high horse, Daddy Longlegs,
outstrided him : the other black jacket was not beat
a length. Humming Bird was pulled up very lame.
Fourteen started for the Innkeepers' money ; for-
tunately for the jockeys' lives, all did not go for the
first heat : fourteen, round the first turn, Derby pace !
a very pretty sight ; but throughout the week not one
charged the fence.
The police did their duty like men ; and, since the
Hippodrome is abolished, their duty for this season
ends here.

The most attractive meeting ever known at New-
castle-upon-Tyne commences this day. The St.
Leger there—a race celebrated for the first appear-
ance of Lanercost—boast a fair entry, and the winner
is usually a favourite' for the greater St. Leger at
Doncaster. No less than sixty-two horses have ac-
cepted for the Northumberland Plate ; but as these
were compelled to declare so long ago as the Monday
in Easter week, it may be supposed they are, many
of them, out of harm's way. Fourteen out of the
lot are in Scott's stable ; but I fancy many of these
must have been left in by accident. Alice Hawthorn
is naturally first favourite, but she meets a very dif-
ferent field to that she left behind her at Chester.
Ctibrera, the only horse that has ever run anything
like a race with Attila isin the Gateshead Stakes, but
I hear he will not show. Beeswing runs for both the
Plate and Cup, and is declared to run also at Good-
wood. I hope the old mare likes the hard ground.
There are three two year-old races, and the man in
the street says the brother to Commodore will win all.
The Bibury Club and Stockbridge meetings also
take place this week ; the club dinner being held at
the Star and Garter, Andover, to-morrow. There
are some heavy Produce Stakes, the Bibury Stakes
(gentlemen riders), and a Handicap Plate of 801.,
given by Lord Chesterfield, steward.

JUDEX.

THE WAR IN AFFGHANISTAN.
The following letter from an officer of the 21st Na-
tive Infantry, will be perused with interest in the pre-
sent position of our affairs in India :
" Camp Quettah, Affghanistan, April 2, 1842.
" General England arrived here on the 22d ult.,
with a wing of her Majesty's 41st Regiment, 6th Na-
tive Infantry, two troops of Cavalry, and 100 irregular,
and one troop of Horse Artillery. He found here a
light battalion, composed of the light companies of
the 41st Foot, 6th, Bth, 20th, 21st, and 25th Na-
tive Infantry regiments, and gave the command, to
the major of my regiment (Mstior Abthorp), a
very good soldier and brave fellow and who has seen
a good deal of service. We marched on the 28th,
with a large convoy of treasure and provisions,
for the purpose of relieving General Nutt, at Can-
dahar, and Col. Palmer, at Ghuznee ; the latter was
perfectly in the hands of the enemy, as they cut
off his communication from all quarters. Now, the
former had a large force, but no provisions or ammu-
nition. I made interest with our Colonel, and got put
into the light company. As I am very hard up for
time, I must give you an idea instead of an account,
and then say good-bye. The first day's march we
saw the enemy's patrols, and had a skirmish, but no-'
thing of any consequence ; the next march we were
fired on from the hills, which occasioned great confu-
sion among the baggage, and obliged us to be under
arms till we marched the next morning, when we
came in sight of the main body of the enemy, who oc-
cupied a strong position on our left and to our right
front. Advancing their left position was a hill, stock-
aded at the top, from which .they first opened fire upon
us, and our six-pounders played upon them, but with
bad effect. The enemy put out a flag of defiance
on the right, which was a small conical hill,
with a breast-work at the top about four feet high,
and a wet ditch inside. The ground was very broken,
and the hill rather steep. General England Ordered
Major Abthorp to take us (the light bobs) up, and in-
stead of taking two columns to attack, he said he was
ready to advance us in line. Abthorp remonstrated
with him, but it had no effect, so on we went, and, as
we got to the foot of the hill, the enemy opened a
quick and regular fire upon us. Just as we arrived
at the top of the hill, and were cheering at our suc-
cess, the enemy, seeing the General had not backed
us neither by cavalry nor infantry, sent their
cavalry round the crest of the hill, and took us in
the rear, charging at a fearful rate, which instantly
broke the line, and obliged us to retreat in
terrible Confusion, and they managed to kill and cut
up a great number before we could rally and form
square. Captain May. (a nephew of Major-General
Sir John May, of the Royal Artillery) was shot as
we advanced up the hill, through the heart, it is sup-
supposed. Major Abthorp was cut down by the ca-
valry, and has since died of his wounds. I bound
them up in the field for him and sent him over to the
hospital. After we had formed square several were
wounded, and, on the whole, we lost 1 major, 1 cap-
tain, 5 sergeants, and 130 rank and file kided and
wounded, but I am afraid this is, within the mark.
We could not take all our dead and wounded off the
field, and the General would not attempt it again as
he was afraid of his convoy. We retreated to a small
village where we stayed for a day, and then marched
back here with our tails between our legs, the enemy
following us up all the way • •
" We have heard since that Ghuznee has fallen,
and all the poor fellows have been cut up. General
Nott has had hard fighting, and wants relief, so that ,
General England has determined to make a desperate
effort to relieve him. This will have a
.very bad
effect; it will make every fellow in the country rise

against us, and prevent our getting out of the country.
We are, I must sav, in a very dangerous position.
Lord Ellenborougg's intentions are not known yet,
but something must be done for our honour and
name, and to get back our prisoners. Shah Soojah
has played us a pretty trick, and Dost Mahomed
must come back, and we leave the country, or else
we shall be obliged to leave India, as our native regi-
ments declare they will not come beyond the Indus,
and quite right too, as that is the agreement when
they enlist. They say the Nizam's force are all in
open mutiny, and all the Mussulmans about Madras
ready to rise. '

Al TEMPT to MUIKDFR in FRANCE.
At the sitting of the Court of Assizes for the
Vos-
ges, held at Epinal, on the 9th inst., a shepherd, who
was known by the name of Jacob Mayer, was tried
for robbery, attended with an attempt to murder,
under the following circumstances :—On March 15,
Francoise, the wife of a wooden-shoemaker, named
Corniot, living at Midrevaux, set out alone early in the
morning to walk to Neufchateau, to make some pur-
chase. As she passed along she was observed by
.Mayer,
who was keeping his sheep near the road, and, Judging
from her appearance that she was richer than she
really was, determined to waylay her on her return.
Between four and five in the afternoon he saw her
coming back, and immediately, and without ad-
dressing a word to her, gave her a violent
blow on her head with his crook, and knocked
her down, continug to beat her, not only
with the same weapon, but also with large stones
picked from the road, and, finding that he had not
yet killed her, he stamped upon her chest with his iron
shod shoes. aving thus reduced her to a state of in-
sensibility, he dragged her off the road to a retired
spot, took from her person all the money and other
articles of any value she had about her, and left her,
believing her to be dead. Night coming on without
her re-appearance-at home, her family became alarmed,
and went out in search of her. At eleven o'clock they
found her lying where Mayer had left her, covered
with gore -- her head, her hands, her arms,
and her whole person exhibiting the effects of
the violent treatment she had received, and the strug-
gles she had made in her own defence. Still she
breathed, and was carried home. With great skill
and care she was restored to her senses, and, after
a time, was able to relate all the circumstances above I
related, giving an accurate description of her assail-
ant. Two shepherds were arrested and brought into
her presence ; she recognised Mayer, who was de-
tained, and the other man released. On further exa-
mination, the blouse ofMayer exhibited stains of blood,
and also spots from some syrup of gum, evidently from
a bottle of that liquid, which Francoise Corniot had
brought with her from Neechateau, and was broken in
the conflict. Fragments of the bottle were found on the
spot, and also marks of the liquid were perceptible on
some ofthe stones used by the assassin to consummate his
crime, and, particularly on one he had placed on her
cap, which had come off in the struggle, to prevent
its being blown back to the road, and thereby betray
the spot to which he had dragged the body. It was
also observed that the iron of his crook had been
newly filed, either to take out some notches made
by his desperate use of it, or to obliterate the
traces of blood. All these concurring circum
stances, added to the depositions of Francoise Cor-
niot, were so damning, that Mayer, at length,
confessed his crime, and point( d out the place where
he had concealed the money of which he had robbed
her. • This confession, he repeated at his trial ;
Francoise Corniot also appeared as- a witness against
him, being sufficiently recovered to go into Court,
but still in a state to convince all who saw her that
her health was ruined for ever, and probably her life
shortened. Yet, such was the stolidity of Mayer,
that he did not show the slightest sign of remorse
on seeing the lamentable condition to which he had
reduced her. The jury pronounced him guilty, but
added that there were extenuating circumstances,
and consequently the Court could only sentence him
to hard labour for life at the hulks. lie received his
'udgment with the same insensibility he had displayed
throughout.

THE « LIGHT GOLD"
INFLICTION.

You can form no adequate conception of the embar-
rassment produced by the ill-judged proclamation of the
Tories relative to the gold coin. The working people
are the greatest sufferers, as many of them had sove-
reigns at full weight in their pockets on Sunday last ;
and such. was the panic spread abroad that gold of al:
descriptions, light and heavy, was refused in ninny
places, and numerous families were deprived of their
dinners in consequence.' In some instances, two shillings
discount had to be paid on a sovereign that was only
twopence-halfpenny deficient in weight. • Had the pro-
clamation been to call in the light sovereigns on a given
day, or had the expense of recoining formed the subject -
of a separate estimate, no complaint would be made ; •
but the suddenness of the proclamation is denounced as a
Tory trick, and must operate against them hereafter,
when the long account is to- be settled.— Correspondent
of the Ross-shire Advertiser. " •
The stories in the London papers of the effects of the
monetary panic in the metrepolis have been fully
equalled in the country. Some symptoms of the diffi-
culties that aftera ards occurred exhibited themselves in
Southampton before the close of the last week, by the
refusal of several shopkeepers to take light sovereigns,
but on Saturday the panic spread universally ; and as
scarcely one shop in a hundred possessed gold scales,
sovereigns and half-sovereigns were indiscriminately
refused, unless at a.discount of Bd. for the former and
-4d. for the latter ; this was the case in French-street
and in the market, where great numbers of the working
classes resort on Saturday evening to make purchases.
At some shops a reduction of 6d.- for sovereigns and 3d.
for half-sovereigns was made, but in many others the
most scandalous trickery was used, and where people
had come in from the country, or the hour was late, Is.
and even ls. 6d. in the pound was exacted. In the case
of working people this shameful extortion. was in too
many cases submitted to, from the parties having no
other resource. This deduction was made upon the coin
indiscriminately by the majority, but in the course of
the day a supply of Birmingham balaittes was thrown
into the market, and did good service for a time, as
being improperly constructed they weighed down with
light•sovereigns. Some shops exhibited labels intimat•
ing that light sovereigns were taken there for goods and
did a good extra trade in consequence. As might be
expected, the panic induced the production of much
horded money, in excellent condition. The coinage of
George 111., issued in 1817, and of George IV., in 1821,
1823, 1824. and 1830, are generally light, but on an•
average to not more than a depreciation of 1 and 13- per
ceut,.as stated by the Members of the Government on
Tuesday night in the House. We know of an instance,
however, in which a deduction was made at one of the
banks of 4s. 63. on five pounds, in which there were four
half sovereigns. On Monday last at a large shot) in the
High-street, Is. 6d. in the pound was deducted on a pur-
chase by a lady, and we therefore.wish to put our readers
on their guard against.sw.h. scandalous imposition. On
an average a deduction of lid. in the..pound would cover
all loss, and certainly a discount of 3d. is the utmost
that should be submitted to .in a sovereign, and 2d. in a
half sovereign.—Hampshire Advertiser.
LIGET SOiiEREIGNS.—As proofs of the prevalence of
light gold, we may mention that a gentleman took one
hundred to one of the banks in Gloucester, 011 Wednes-
' day forty-one of which number Were deficient in weight ;
andanother persott took fifty, all of which were declared
light, and sixpence paid upon each !—Hereford Times.
There has been a dreadful hubbub here about the pro-
clamation respecting the light sovereigns. This procla-
mation has been followed by another, commanding an
issue of half-farthings. Truly these proceedings of our
rulers seem not a little puzzling : what possible use the
half-farthings can be the Master of the Mint can pro-
bably, tell, but certainly nobody else.—Cheltenham
Looker-On.

We cannot avoid coming to the conclusion that the
Government, in setting about this necessary reform, has
set about it in the most unjust, odious, and oppressive
manner. It is unjust, because it makes the whole weight
of a measure for the general public benefit fall unequally
on a portion of the public only, and upon a portion no
more responsible than any other for the evil ; and it is
odious and oppressive, because it doubles the loss by the
mode in which it inflicts it. In our opinion, the duty of
the Government would have been, as fast as sovereigns
came in in payment of public revenue, to have melted down
all those of old dat worn but not intentionally defaced,
and to have supplied their place by new ones ; but if it
did not choose to assume that burden, the least it could
have done, and chat would have entailed on it nothing
but a little trouble, would have been to accommodate the
holders by taking light sovereigns in all public offices at
full bullion value, by which the loss and inconvea2nce
would not he, generally speaking, one-half of what it is
now. It might have done so up to a certain time, and
afterwards, if it chose, enabled people to protect them-
selves, by giving notice that no sovereigns would pass
current below a certain weight, and thus, in the exercise
of its supreme wisdom, save some ten thousands a year
by inflicting on the land a general plague of scalcs.—
Liverpool Journal.

M. de Melcy, who, as our readers remember
suffered the judgment of separation sued for by his wife, Julia
Grisi, to go by default, ha, just Redressed a letter to the Ga-
zette des Tribunaur, in which he declares that there was not
one word of with in all that was stated on her part to the
Tribunal, except the fact that he had refused to receive her
back. lie adds, that if Madame Grisi has not lost her me-
mory, she must know why her husband refused to receive her ;
that the separation de facto took place so far back as the llith
August, 16.36, and was resolved on for wrongs that were not
on the part of the husband, in terms sett!cd and agreed ups n
by honourable mediators, which leave no grounds for any
charge against him, M. de Alelcy, and that since this period he
has neser seen her.

A gentleman who was very lame in one of his legs,

that was the cause. "But why, then," said the gentle-
man, " should not my other leg be as lame as this,
seeing that the one is nu older than the other ?"—Liver-
