STAMFORD RAFFLES starts into place without any of
these adventitious advantages, and establishes the empire li
of his country's political force and renown in Java, or gives
marvellous concentration to her commercial energy and
greatnesss at Singapore. He is only a "practical" man,
of no connexions but great natural talents, expanded by
observation, sharpened by necessity, and matured by
experience, into statesmanlike wisdom. He is a brilliant
exception but one of such note and mark as should at
once override the rule. We might in that event look for
colonial secretaries appointed in virtue only of their
extensive knowledge of colonial affairs, their dispas-
sionate judgment, temper, and patriotic disregard of
personal prepossessions er prejudices. We might then
hope for colonial governors, nominated on account only
of their talents for administration, their local know-
ledge, their ability to reconcile the legitimate claims of
individual interests with the paramount demands of the
public good ;—men distinguished alike for being con-
versant with the business of government, and gifted
with a knowledge of human character. On this last
point we are pleased to avail ourselves of the implied
reflection on the mistaken policy which inexperience or
ignorance of the character of the New Zealand Abori-
gines has induced English functionaries of all kinds in
that island to adopt, that was conveyed in the remark of
an Hon. Tory Member, with whore it is rarely our
fortune to side. But we do acquiesce, to the letter, in
these observations by Sir ROBERT Isnnts:—"From the
moment that we thus recognised them, all our pro-
ceedings in reference to them should have proceeded on
the footing of equal rights, Not of equal power, for that
was not possible. But, on the contrary, the case, as it
actually stood, was the case of a company of persons, and
the individuals composing that company were men of
character as high and principles as just as any who are
to be found in any part of the empire, the binding prin-
ciples of whom, it could not be denied, were principles of
pecuniary interest."

The SrEalea took the Chair at Twelve o'clock, and immediately
afterwards the House went into Committee on the

RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL

The remaining clauses of the Bill from 04 down to 109, both
inclusive, were severally put and agreed to without discussion.
The Committee then took up the postponed clauses of the Bill.

On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, a clause was intro.
duced in the place of clause 5, which had been struek out, giving
to owners and occupiers of land more specific recompense for the
damage or Injury they might have sustained by the construction
of railway works, or by the loss of the land taken for them.
The NOBLIL Lours also brought up a clause in place of clause 44,
for obliging railway companies t• make sufficient approaches to pri-
vate or other roads which were affected by the works of railroads.
On the motion of the same NOBLE LORD, several clauses which
had been agreed to in the Companies Clauses Consolidation Bill
were also introduced into this Bill. The Noble Lord said that as
these clauses had been fully discussed in the Committee on the
other Bill, he thought they might with safety be introduced into
this Bill, and they were agreed to.
A clause was also introduced to prevent railway companies from
making works to impede, cross, or in any way affect any creek or
arm of the sea, or to alter or amend the same, without the consent
of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, or the Lords of
the Admiralty being previously obtained.
Lord G. SOMERSET, in the absence of his Hon. Friend the
Secretary for Ireland, begged to move the introduction of a clause
which provided that no works should be constructed by railway
companies which would affect the fall, or discharge, or alter the
level of any stream of water without the supervision and consent of
the Board of Works in Ireland. The Noble Lord said that was
already partially provided for by the 6th Victofia, but the introduc-
tion of the clause would make the obligation general in Ireland.

The NOBLE LORD then moved an amendmentato the 20th clause,
restricting the power of a railway company to take temporary
posssession of land without previously paying the price of it. The
Noble Lord wished to exempt from this power cultivated fields,
plantations, approaches to a mansion-house, or any other orna.
mental road or ground. As the clause originally stood, a railway
company would have power to take possession of land for the pur-
poses of the line, extending in depth 1,000 yards from the centre
of the railway. The Noble Lord proposed to alter the number
of yards to 500.
Colonel SIBTHORP moved that the number be only 100.

Lord G. SOMERSET suggested that his amendments should be
agreed to, and then the Gallant Colonel would be at liberty to move
the omission altogether.
Colonel SIBTHORP was understood to agree to this suggestion.
Sir D. NORREYS thought the powers given to engineers by
this clause were too great.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that, if the clause had been made
more stringent in this general Act, the companies might have
obtained greater powers in a special Act than were proposed to be
given here. The words which he proposed to introduce were these:
" Not being an avenue, or other ornamental road, nor an approach
to a mansion.house."

Madrid journals of the 6th have been received. In
the Chamber of Deputies, on that day, the report of the
Committee on the restoration of Church property had
been presented. The majority are in favour of the
Government proposition, but a separate report was
given in by the minority, in which it is recommended that
further guarantees should be given to the purchasers of
national property, and that the property about to be
given to the clergy should not be placed at their absolute
and uncontrolled disposal. The editor of the Espettculor,
charged with publishing a libel on the Government rela-
tive to the execution of Zurbano, had been acquitted.

There are deplorable accounts from Prussia of the state of
the inhabitants of several districts. In the circle of
Cletzko it is stated that there were four thou-
sand families without food or work, and in Fried-
land one-third of the houses are described as being un-
inhabited and shut up. The mortality among the people,
owing to starvation and the severity of the winter, was per-
fectly awful ; and from the 9th to the 16th ult. the
deaths were as 6 to 1 to the births. During the winter
three-fourths of the cattle are said to have IR rished for
the want of proper shelter and nourishment, and the people
were reduced to such a state that in numerous instances they
preferred remaining in bed half the day to avoid
the cold, and console themselves for their scanty supply
of food. The agriculturists had not even the requisite seed
to put in the ground for the ensuing crops, and there was
little hope for them but from immediate assistance by Go-
vernment. All this is given in a communication from Co-
logne, and yet it appears extraordinary th at if matters are
so bad the Berlin Cabinet should not, ere this, have inter-
posed.
The Funds are firmer again, Consols having touched 99",z‘i
and par for Money. Nothing has been done in Bank Stock.
Exchequer-bills have been 665. to 68s. premium.
The value of Portuguese Stock has further receded, the
Converted being 65',4 to 66%. A reaction is to be expected.
Spanish Five per Cents. are up to 2934 and 304. 'The Threes
are 4031. Mexican Bonds bring 36,4 to %. Dutch Two-
and-a-fialf per Cents. are 631 .
Shares are rather fluctuating. South-Eastern have been
better, Churnet Valley rather lower, Direct Northern firm,
and London and York steady. Brighton are quiet.

Colonel ROLLESTON said the interpretation clause seemed to
be at variance with the limitations the Noble Lord had alluded to.
Colonel SIBTHORP said the limitations were all in favour of
the property of gentlemen. Now he knew of no class that ought
to be specially protected as gentlemen. In what situation did
the clause place the poor man or tenant, farming a few
acres of land ? He might have inroads made on his property for
mere temporary purposes, for the making of bricks, or for every
other possible annoyance. The Noble Lord said he might bring an
action against the company ; but would the railroad company pay
the expenses of that action, as well as the damage done to hire?
He (Colonel Sibthorp) was not sent to that House to defend
the property of what were called gentlemen; they could better
afford to part with some of it than the poor man, and though such
inroads might annoy the gentleman, they would altogether anaihi.
late the whole of the hard-earned property of the poor man. If
this was the law and justice dealt out by a British House of Core.
room!, then it was high time that another reform of it should take
place, and different men sent there. He solemnly protested against the
whole clause, and from nothing else but a desire to protect
the property of the humbler classes. The Noble Lord said he had
better take the sense of the Honse on it, and he would de so,
though he knew he should fail.
Lord G. SOMERSET agreed to introduce an asneminsent into
the clause that would limit the occupation of the land to the time
necessary to construct only that particular portion of the line.

The intelligence in the Paris papers is not important.
The Chamber of Deputies had resolved unanimously to
take into consideration the Bill of M. MURET DE BORT,
for the Conversion of the Five per Cents. The Finance
Minister said he had no objection to the measure being
brought forward for discussion, and pledged himself to
bring in a Bill on the subject next session. A tele-
graphic dispatch, dated the 10th, had been received by
the Government en Tuesday from the Maritime Prefect
of Toulon, announcing that the strike by the workmen
of the Arsenal had ceased, and that the men had re-
sumed their labours. The Paris papers contain some
additional particulars respecting the late fatal duel.
It appears that M. DUJARRIER, who was killed,
had the first fire, but missed his antagonist.
M. BEAUVALON, in returning the shot, sent his ball
through the right eye into the brain of his adversary,
who was immediately put into his carriage to be conveyed
home, but he expired before it reached the house. The
duel, it appears, arose out of ;a dispute at a party of
cards. The Droit says, " A writing stained with blood,
found in one of M. DUTARRIER'S pockets, dated Monday
night, twelve o'clock, and addressed to his testamentary
executor, begins in these words:—' At the moment of
going to fight a duel, on the most futile and absurd of
causes, I intrust to you my last will.' Then follows an
enumeration of the legacies, one of which is eighteen
shares in the Theatre of the Palais Royal, to an actress
of the Theatre of the Porte St. Martin. The Procu-
reur du Roi has named an examining magistrate to in-
vestigate the circumstances of the death, and an autopsy
of the body has been ordered. Warrants for the arrest
of M. BEAUVALON and his seconds have been issued."

After a few words from Colonel Rottearox and Lord S. So-
snags?, th• clause as amended, was agreed to.
Mr. TATTON EGERTON, in the absence of the Hon. Mem-
ber for Sussex, who was engaged on an election Committee, moved
an amendment to the 21st clause, which gave a railway company
power, by depositing the estimated price, to take possession of any
land which might be required far slip banks, or side cuttings, and
to remove this power was the principal object of the amendment.
In the 22d clause it was provided that disputes between landholders
and railway companies should be referred to two justices of
the peace to see whether the railway absolutely required the land
for the public convenience, but the justices had no power to order
that the lands and materials should not be taken. The Hon.
Member therefore moved another amendment to supply this de-
ficiency. _ _

Lord G. SOMERSET complained of the vagueness of the lan-
guage in the amendment. It was liable to many and various con-
structions, and gave large discretionary powers to the justices.
He, however, would not object to the amendment then, but on
Monday he hoped the Committee would either be prepared to
modify or strike it out altogether.
The amended clauses were then agreed to.
Sir D. NORRETS proposed a clause to enable persons in
Ireland interested in obtaining water power, and of carrying currents
over or under a railway, to form the works necessary for such pur-
pose, and in case any dispute should arise between the railway
proprietors and the person desiring to obtain such water-
power, to submit the dispute to the Commissioners of Public Works
in Ireland, who should have to adjudicate thereon, and authorise
the construction of such works as they deemed not likely to be in-
jurious to the railway.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that they had not the power to con-
sider this clause in Committee, and the motion was withdrawn.
The CHAIRMAN having left the chair, reported that the =emit
mend had been agreed to, but it was immediately discovered that
an omission had been made with respect to the interpretation
clause.—The Bill was then recommitted, and the mistake was
rectified.

The accounts from Switzerland are favourable, and
strong hopes are entertained that the disputes will be
amicably settled by the,withdrawal of the Jesuits from
Lucerne, and the disbanding of the free corps. The Di-
rectory of Zurich has addressed a proposition to the
Diet, the object of which is to put down the free corps
in all the cantons, and the following note on the same
subject has been sent by M. G UIZOT to the French Ambas-
sador, the Count DE PoNToxs, which he had communi-
cated to the Vorort on the 7th. It is dated the 3d inst.:—
" Monsieur le Comte,—l have just received your dispatches
of the 28th ult. It is with the most lively satisfaction that I
perceive in them proofs of a complete accord between you
and your colleagues—an accord so necessary in the presence
of the embarrassments of which Switzerland is the theatre,
and which corresponds so well with the entente cordiale that
unites all Cabinets. The formation of the free corps is,
without contradiction, ;one of the most serious events of
the present state of things ; and already, more than once,
I have apprised you of the anxiety that I felt as to the
eventualities with which, not only the repose but also
the existence of the confederation, were menaced by
this organised anarchy. The imperative necessity of putting
an end to such abuses, and preventing a recurrence of them,
is not contested in Europe by any of the true friends of
Switzerland. In Switzerlaod itself it cannot be a question
of doubt for enlightened minds. At the moment when the
Diet is about to deliberate on the free corps, I expressly re-
commend to you to call the most serious attention of the Pre-
sident to the radical illegality and incalculable danger of such
an institution. Announce to him in the most formal terms
our full and entire conviction on this subject. Let the Diet
be convinced of the necessity of adopting, before it separates,
the most energetic measures to prevent the recurrence of the
attempts which have compromised the repose of Switzerland.
Insist on the enormous responsibility which, in the eyes of
Switzerland and the whole of Europe, would fall upon such
of the cantonal governments as should, in contempt of the
rights of nations and the stipulations of the federal compact,
tolerate, or not take means of preventing, the violation of the
public peace. You are authorised to communicate this dis-
patch to the President of the Diet, and to furnish him with
a copy of it."
The amount of business done on Wednesday in Rentes
on the Paris Bourse was trifling. The Three per Cents.
had not varied in price; the Fives had slightly advanced,
the formerleaving off at 851. 10c.; and the latter at 118 f.
for the end of the month. The market closed as follows :
—Five per Cents. for cash, 117 f. 65c.; for account, 118 f.
Three per Cents. for cash, 85f. 5c.; for account, 85f. 10c.

The CHAIRMAN, having again left the chair, reported progress,
and the Bill was passed through Committee. The report was or.
dered to be brought up at twelve o'clock on Monday.

LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL

On the•motion of Lard G. SOMERSET the House went into
Committee on the Lands Clauses Consolidation Bill, and clauses 1
and 2 were agreed to.
All the clauses up to 23 were agreed to.
Upon clause 23 being proposed,

Mr. T. EGERTON said he thought that was the best opportunity
for him to propose an amendment which he had contemplated. H•
proposed that the owner of land which was to be taken by the Corn.
pany should have the option of choosing either an arbitration
or a Jury. He could not conceive any mode fairer
than that of arbitration. In case of dispute, the
arbitration might be appointed by the Board of Trade.
To accomplish his object he should move the omission of paragraphs
23, 24, 25, and 26, and the insertion of those of which he had
given notice. What he suggested was adopted in the Scotch
Lands Consolidation Bill, and he did not see why the same prin-
ciple should not be applied in both countries_
Lord G. SOMERSET said, that if be rightly apprehended the
Honourable Member's object, it was to secure to both parties the
option, to a certain extent, say 1,0001., of settling their diffe-
rences by arbitration. To that extent he would not object to such
an arrangement, but he would not go beyond it.

Mr. G. CRAIG believed that Scotch landowners would be very
glad to have this option. It was, in fact, a necessary security to
parties whose property was taken by compulsion.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that he had no doubt but that the
sheriff would be able to secure the services of twenty-four indivi-
duals, who would act correctly, but he thought he ought not to be
restricted in his selection. He (Lord G. Somerset) himself had
been placed in a position In which, having a Jury to
select, he had been told that he could not find twenty-four
persons within that district who lived in the county, and
he was obliged to go out of the county. He had no objection to
accept the Hon. Member's amendment to the extent of I,OOOL,
but be would not go beyond tt. He thought that if the sum was
greater than that, that the company ought, as well as the land-
owner, to have the option of arbitration or decision by jury.
Mr. T EGERTON said, that according to the Noble Lord's state.
ment the company would have the advantage of the advice and
aisistance of engineers and other professional persons. Now
it was evident that the landowner was utterly unable to compete
with the company under those circumstances, and in the cases of
large towns It was well known that the landowner had no chance
whatever. But the person he wished to protect was the small land-
owner, the man who possessed three or four agree, and he hoped that
the Noble Lord would kindly consent to his amendment.
Mr. AGLIONBY said that he by no means wished to
depreciate the trial by jury, but he could by no means
put the same implicit faith in English juries that the
Honourable Member for Cheshire seemed to entertain, for he
did not believe juries to be by any means infallible.
He knew a case near Lancaster, where a beautiful
house, with delightfully ;situated grounds, at the end of
the town had been ruined beyond all power of esouey
to recompense, and what did the jury decide upon ? Why
they gave absolutely less fee the land taken than the proprtetor
had paid for it two years before. He (Mr. Aglionby) did
not see the necessity of employing a professional person at all, and
he thought that a plain man with a knowledge of land was
quite able to arbitrate as well as any other person.
lie would [engage to pick twenty-four men out
of the county of Cumberland who would arbitrate just as
satisfactorily as the best professional person in the world. He knew
of one case where the expense of arbitration was 1,2001, and the
landowner was actually compelled to receive 600/. less than he
ought to have done for the arrangement, which was a grievous loss
to him.

Tua WEATnnu.—The thermometer last night marked
12 deg., being 20 below the freezing point, and 2 deg.
lower than it has been at any period during the present
severe winter. The highest point which it reached yes-
terday was only 35, marking an intensity of cold rarely
occurring is the middle of March. We have had beautiful
clear sunshine all this morning, with a keen north-east
wind.

MORTALITY IX TIM ➢iETROI'OLIS —The number of deaths
last week was 1,141, being 111 above the average. The
excess is still almost entirely confined to diseases of the lungs
and the other organs of respiration, especially bronchitis,
and pneumonia. Deaths from small-pox are on the decrease,
though still rather above the average. The number of deaths
from burns and scalds is enormously large, amounting to 22
cases. There are 4 suicides.

The Cambridge crew arrived at Putney on Wednesday after•
noon, and are staying at Avis's, the Bells Tavern, for the
purpose of paying the utmost attention to their training, as
also to practise over the course selected for the aquatic
struggle. They took a tour up to Mortlake immediately
after their arrival, which they repeated yesterday, shortly
before dusk. The wind from the north was so severe that
they could with difficulty grasp their oars, and where the
slightest damp touched their clothes they became frozen
whilst they were rowing. They appear in the finest possible
condition and spirits and average eleven and a half-stone per
man. The Oxford were expected yesterday, and much cu-
riosity was manifested to see them at work, but they had not
arrived late yesterday evening. W. Harrison, Esq., the Com-
modore of the Royal f hames Yacht Club, has consented to be
umpire on the occasion. The race will be started upward,
the distance being from Putney-bridge to Mortlake church,
and will take place at about five in the afternoon.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a public
meeting was held at Willis's rooms, in aid of the funds of
this hospital, the Duke of Buccleuch, K.G., in the chair.
Amongst the nobility and entry present were Lord John
Russell, Lord Radstock, It N., the Bishops of London and
Lichfield, the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone, M.P., Mr. Alder-
man Copeland, Mr. Cotton, &c. The secretary read the re-
port, which, after enumerating the many benefits conferred
upon the poor and on science by the hospital, stated that
the charity would be compelled to close its doors against
many deserving applicants for relief, unless its funds were
replenished. In conclusion, it stated that since its opening
in 1840, the in and out patients who had received medical
and surgical treatment numbered 553,286. The Bishops of
London and Lichfield, Lord John Russell, Mr. Gladstone,
and others very ably and eloquently advocated the cause of
the charity ; after which it was unanimously resolved to
raise 15,000/. towards the maintenance of the hospital. Do-
nations to the amount of 1,658/. and 45/. additional annual
subscriptions were announceo. Amongst the donations were
the following :—Her Majesty (fifth), 1001. ; Queen Dowager
(fourth), 150/. ; Prince Albert (second), 52/. 10s. ; the
Bishop of London, 1001. ; the Duke of Buccleuch, 100/. ;
Archbishop of Canterbury, 521. 10s. ; Joseph Green, Esq.
(third), 50/. ; Lord Radstock, 20/. ; Lord Manvers, 521. 10s. ;
Messrs. Twinings, 31/. 10s., &c. Thanks having been voted
to the Noble Chairman, the meeting broke up.
This morning, Messrs. Boutcher, Meek, Drake,
Beasley, and Cox, being a deputation from the leather trade, bad an
interview with Sir George Clerk, at the Board of Trade, Whitehall.

Mr. Forbes, Sir Denham Norreys, and Mr. Fitzstephen French,
expressed their dissatisfaction with the clause, and hoped the amen&
ment would be adopted.
On clause 89 being put,
Mr. AGLIONBY objected to the time and place for holding the
jury being fixed by the warrant to the sheriff requiring him to
summon the jury.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE--FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been on a mo-
derate scale, especially from Lincolnshire and Norfolk, yet the quan-
tity on offer was rather scanty. For all descriptions the demand was
In a sluggish state, and Monday's prices were with difliculty- sup-
ported. Foreign Wheat was again dull, yet sales could not be effeoted
on lower terms. Bonded Grain quite nominal. Barley was in full
average supply, and heavy inquiry ; and the same may be said of
Malt. There was rather more life in the Oat trade, at full prices.
Other Grain sold slowly, at unaltered currencies.

Our market was but moderately supplied with Beasts, as to num-

Prime Scots were In steady demand at full prices ; but all other
kinds met a very slow inquiry. Scarcely any Foreign Stock was on
offer; but the fresh arrivals ftom Scotland embraced 90 horned and
polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were rather limited, while the
