LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1845.

The House of Lords did not sit.
The House of Commons met at Four o'clock.
The transaction of private business and the presenta-
tion of petitions occupied the attention of the House
during the early part of the sitting.
In answer to Mr. TUORNELY, Sir R. PEEL stated
that under the reciprocity treaties, sugar, the produce
of the United States, would be admitted upon the same
terms as Java or Manilla sugar.
Lord LINCOLN
.stated in answer to Mr. REDHEAD
YORKE, that the cost of the new Houses of Parliament
would not greatly exceed the estimate, and that there
was every reason to believe that the new House of
Commons would be ready by 1847.
Sir J. GRAHAM stated, in answer to Lord EBRING-
TON, that it was not the intention of the Government to
introduce any measure on the subject of turnpike
trusts ; and in answer to Lord MAnoN, the Right
Hun. Baronet stated, that he did not intend to intro-
duce any measure to remedy the evils arising from
the interment of the dead in large towns.
On the order of the day being read for the House
resolving itself into Committee on the Property Tax
Bill,

Captain BERNAL OSBORNE moved as
i an amend-
ment, that the House do resolve itself into Commit-
tee that day three months.
Mr. MVNTz, in a humorous speech, supported the
amendment.
Mr. F. BARING condemned the financial policy of the
Government which had rendered the continuance of
the income-tax necessary. He did not see how they
could do without it, unless they imposed two mil-
lions of addltiontlptiMan, and that was his only
excuso'for votiiipoiitreßntinuance ; but he had a

CLEFT SPEAKING.)

both for the prosecution and the prisoner, the great
majority of whom will have to travel a distance of be-
tween thirty and forty miles. Wednesday next will be
the day named for the trial to take place, should it meet
with the approbation of the Court. The number of
persons who have made application to be present
during the proceedings (which are expected to oc-
cupy nearly two whole days) would fill the Court (which
is somewhat confined), even if it were five times its
present size. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, who had been retained
by the prisoner, to conduct his defence, will not, it is
confidently stated, be enabled to undertake that arduous
duty, Mr. Kelly having received a heavy brief with a fee
of five hundred guineas, in a cause to be tried on the Home
Circuit, at Maidstone, where the assizes occur in the
same week as at Aylesbury. Mr. Montagu Chambers
and Mr. J. J. Williams, who were present to watch the
proceedings at the coroner's inquest on the body of Sarah
Hart, at Salt-hill, on the part of the accused, will be en-
gaged elsewhere on their respective circuits. In the ab-
sence of these three gentlemen whom we have named, we
understand that Mr. Gurney and Mr. O'Malley have been
retained for the prisoner by his solicitor, Mr. Bevan, of
the Old Jewry. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Pender-
gast have been retained on the part of tee Crown. In
order to accommodate as many persons as possible
during the trial, various alterations and arrangements
are being effected in the interior of the Court, by the
orders of the High Sheriff. The prisoner continues to be
supplied daily with a dinner from the White Hart Inn at
Aylesbury, the prison regulations permitting an accused
person, before trial, thus to obtain his meals. He is
only restricted as to quantity with reference to wine and
beer. His appetite continues very good, and his usual
spirits, until within the last dry or two, have not forsaken
him. He has been taking hyarocynic acid, medicinally,
nearly ever since he has been incarcerated, the prisoner
alleging that he is labouring under a complaint which
renders that medicine necessary for his health. Several
consultations have taken plrce withiu the last few days
between the accused and his professional advisers. We
may state that he looks forward with confidence to the
result of his trial.

THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN."

We have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only

still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.

Committee from making any alteration whatever. The parties
who were to be protected were not the railway parties, but
the public. It was not reasonable, in securing the
interests of the public, that they should require
that 300.0 r 400 gates, and 300 or 400 gatekeepers should
be appointed, when, perhaps, their services would not be
required tftener than once or twice in the twenty-four hours.
Doing so would be highly expensive to the company, while
there would be no adequate, benefit to the public, and he,
therefore, 11,, ped that the House would negative the proposi-
tion of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth.

Mr. HAYTER said that he quite agreed that if these words
were inserted, the Committee would be deprived of the
power of making any alteration. He believed that
railways were of great advantage to the public, and he
should, therefore, protest against the insinuations
which had been thrown out against those Members who came
down there to render assistance in maturing these projects.
Gentlemen connected with the landed interest conceived
that all these projects were detrimental to them, and
they entertained a jealousy of all those who supported
these projects, and that their object was some private end,
and not the public good.—(" No," from the Ministerial side.)
He did not feel that he was actuated by any private end,
and he should, therefore, persevere in his course.
His object was to do justice, and that should
be done to both parties.—(" No doubt of it," from
the Ministerial side of the House.) What was the
case? If these gates were erected, two gatekeepers would
t•e required for every single footpath, and thus the company
would incur an expense of 100/. a year for every one of them,
and if there were 300 or 400 the expense would be 6001.
a year for all these footpaths. [The Hon. Gentleman was
corrected by a Member opposite, who stated the expense
would not be 6001., but 60,0001. a-year.l At any rate, it
would be enormous. In the case of bridle-paths, he ad-
mitted that some regulation waa necessary, and a clause
might be introduced for erecting a proper tribunal for direct-
ing the placing of gates ; but in the case of footpaths on level
ground, he thought they were unnecessary.

TILE EARL OF STIRLING V. THE OFFICERS OF STATE OF SCOTLAND

This appeal stood on the paper for hearing, but upon its being
called on, In consequence of soma informality, the case was again
referred to the Appeal Committee.

MACKINTOSH V. GORDON.

This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the
decision of the Court of Session. The question in this case
'was as to the effect of a bond executed by Alexander, the last but
one Duke of Gordon, on the marriage of his natural daughter to Mr.
Mackintosh, by which he settled upon her the sum of 5,0001. The
question in the case was whether by that bond the daughter took the
sum absolutely, or only a life interest in it. The Court of Session
decided that she took a life interest only, and from that decision the
present appeal was brought.
The arguments on the part of the appellant occupied their Lord-
ships the whole morning.

provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amount to
51,081/. 18s. 11d. Out of these profits the Directors paid last
September, a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum
for the half-year ending the 30th of June, and they now de-
clare a dividend, at the same rate, for the half-year ending
the 31st of December. After the payment of these dividends,
amounting together to 48,000/., there will remain a surplus
of 3,081/. 18s. 11d., to be added to the reserved fund, which
will then amount to 69,904/. 15s. 4d.
" Last year the bank obtained the power of accepting
bills drawn at a less term than six months' after date, and of
suing and being sued by its registered pablic officers—
privileges for which the Directors had been contending from
the commencement of the Bank, and the acquisition of which
removes a great obstruction to the conducting of its business.
" The three Directors who go out by rotation, are Matthew
Boulton Rennie, Esq., Charles Gibbes, Esq., and William
Haigh, Esq., all of whom being eligible, offer themselves for
re-election.

MONEY M&RIEET.

Our quotations for all descriptions of Bank Stock and Govern.
ment securities are nearly the same as those given last month,
since which, however, we have to notice the dividend declared by
the Union Bank, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The
high rates which have been ruling for some time past, and even
now (in the face of the large amuunt of capital required for the
speculations in opium and indigo) show no symptoms of declining,
which sufficiently manifests the state of our money market.

FREIGHTS.

Owing to the demand for tonnage for the Mauritius and West
Indies, our rates for Great Britain have been maintained.
Freight has also, we understacd, been taken on vessels touch.
ing at Demerara to land emigrants, at the rate of 41. to 41. 4s.

SINDE.

We have, since cur last, received letters of the 25th from Kur.
rachee, of the 20th from Hyderabad, and of the 16th from:Sukkur.
From the seacoast the tidings are of little interest; Kurrachee
continued healthy and pleasant; the improvement of the canton-
ment, and advancement of horticulture, proceeding apace. The
news from Hyderabad refers chiefly to the continued sickness of her
Majesty's 78th Highlanders. The regiment, having been detained
in Sinde till not a man remained who had not been in hospital, left
for Hyderabaclabout:Christmas, in hopes of restoration from change
(plait The same fatal mismanagement which has attended all their
movements, seemed destined to afflict them to the end. The boats
provided for their accommodation were insufficient in number, and
inadequately fitted up. The men were crushed so together that the
heat and stench throughout the day were Insufferable, while their
sufferings from an opposite cause—the chilling river air—were
quite as severe at night as during the day. The first wing reached
Hyderabad on the Slst ; every preparation had been made for their
reception t extra hospitals had been fitted up by the engineers with
equal care and expedition; the whole medical force were in readi-
ness with bearers and helps of every kind to assist the poor fellows
to their quarters—and they sorely needed them all. Not a man was
able to disembark without assistance; 25 had died on the passage ;
three expired on landing; two were cut off on the first, and five
on the second day after their arrival-35 In all from their em-
barkation a week before. The second wing was still more unfor-
tunate than the first ; it lost the frightful number of 90 men on
the voyage down the river. The loss of the whole regiment be-
tween the Ist December and the ith January amounted to no
fewer than 182 fighting men in 34 days. They are, it is believed,
destined to proceed to Kurrachee, to share the European barracks
with her Majesty's 86th, sent there a few months back to recruit.
The arrangement is likely to prove detrimental to both regiments.
Seine 60 or 100 men of the Highlanders still alive are, it is feared,
past recovery; and nothing but the most careful, speedy, and com-
plete change of air, and the most careful treatment, can save the
majority of the remainder. Of a regiment which left Bombay one
thousand strong a year since, not one.third will ever more be fit
for geld duty In India. This is the best commentary that can be
offered on the climate of Sinde in the second year of our occu.
pation. Had the various opinions of the medical officers been
taken, it is universally believed that this frighttni state of mat.
ters Eight in a great measure have been averted. We men-
tioned in our last that Sir C. Napier with his staff had pro.
ceeded to the upper country, accompanied by 314 of the volunteers
from her Majesty's 13th, a portion of the Sinde horse, and camel
corps. Having left the troops at Larkhana, to avoid the pestilen-
tial air of the Indus, he proceeded with his staff to Sukkur. He
had on bis way snared much annoyance from the occurrence of

IRISH LINES.

BELFAST AND ENNISiILLEN.—A meeting of the inhabitants
of Dungannon and its vicinity, with Lord Northland in the
chair, was held in the Court-house, on Wednesday, to take into
consideration a project for connecting Belfast with Enniskillen,
by a railway passing in the immediate neighbourhood of that
important and thriving borough. The unanimous opinion of
the meeting was, that the proposed line would be one of un-
questionable advantage to the public generally, and more
especially to the town of Dungannon, and several resolu-
tions to that effect were carried wi.hout a single dissentient

voice.
TEMPLEMORE TO NENAGH AND THE SHANNON.--The
Directors of this Cx mpany have determined upon an amal-
gamation of the two lines, namely, that from Templemore
to Nenagh, with the original line from Nenagh to the
Shannon.
PROGRESS AT MARYBOROUGH.—The Messrs. Killen and
Moore are working their contract vigorously in the vicinity of
Maryborougb.. During the last week they increased their
workmen to upwards of 250.
THE GREAT COUNTY DowN.—The Newry Telegraph
says—" At a recent meeting of the acting committee of this
lioe, the sum of 5,0001. was subscribed to defray preliminary
expenses, out of a generous anxiety, on the part of the corn-
mittee, that the deposits should remain intact. the Marquis
of Downshire himself contributing the munificent suns of
