TIMBER DUTIES,

Mr. P. m.sliEwAwr gnva 'notice that in the Com-
mittee on the Customs' Bill he should move a reduction
of, the timber duties.
POOR LAW CONTINUANCE BILL.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY.wished to put a question
to the• Right lion. Baronet the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, connected with one of the provisions
of the measure he had proposed, for making some altera-
tion in the Poor Law Amendment Act, on which he had
reason to believe that great misapprehension prevailed
in different parts of the country. In the original Poor Law
Amendment AO, by the Interpretation Act, a general
order was defined to be one that the Poor Law CoMmis-
sioners w,re empowered to issue to' more than one
Union at a time, and that any order of the kind should
come under the inspection of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department and be
.reported to. Parliament.
In a clause in the new Bill, enacting certain alterations
in the law, the power of the Commissioners with respect to
issuing such orders was restricted. lie had reason to believe
that this clause had produced an impression, that by it these
'general ' orders . would be made universally appli-
cable, and that they would :take effect where they
did not now take effect under the existing law. It
.%% as therefore desirable that-the Right Hon. Baronet
should slate distinctly the real intention of this provision
of the Bill.

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Income-tax Bill was last night carried up to the Lords,
and read a first time. It is to be read a second time this day
week.

Lord Kinnalrd moved for a Committee to inquire into the
general distress; but after the Duke of Wellington had made
a few objections to the motion, the Noble Lord withdrew it.
Their Lordships sat till nearly Nine o'Cluck.
The Commons did not make a house.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Accounts from Paris,datedWednesday, state, that the
intelligence from Madrid, which we received by express
and published on Wednesday, had produced little effect on
the Bourse, but had occasioned considerable sensation
in the political world.
Although the news in question does not appear in the
Noniteur its correctness-is unquestionable.
In the highest quarters it was deemed certain that the
Spanish Ministers must resign, tor that they dare nut
dissolve the Chambers.
It was considered nearly certain that the new Mi-
nistry would obtain the supplies as speedily as possible,
and then dissolve the Chambers.
It was supposed that M. Olozaga would be commis-
sioned to form the new Cabinet.
The Parisßourse was much agitated on Wednesday by
the rejection of three railroad bills (Paris to Versailles,
Strasburg to Basle, and Bordeaux to La Teste) by the
Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The speculators in
these undertakings proposed to pay their difirences,
which were immense, and sold out of the public funds so
largely as to cause a decline in the Three per Cents.

The French Academy has just come to a decision
on an essay submitted to public competition, but which it had
adjourned 'in 1841. The subject was "to determine the in-
influence of Spanish works on French literature at the com-
mencement of the seventeenth century." As this was the first
time that modern literature was submitted to the Academy for
appreciation, considerable interest was excited. The prize was
awarded to 141. Adolphe de Puibut.que, of Paris, a member of
several learned societies, and formerly. a Sub-Prefect. M.
Victor Hugo, as reporter of the spreial committee appointed for
the occasion, stated, in a brilliant extemporary address, the
reasons whiciihad caused the prize to- be -awarded to the suc-
cessful candidate.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

The present Number of this veteran sporting peri-
odical contains two engravings, the best of which is
that representing a regatta on the lake of Winander-
mere. This is finished off with great delicacy, espe-
cially as regards the varying lights and shadows on
the noble expanse of water. Among the literary
communications, we find a chapter of an able new
novel by Mr. Mills, under the title of " The Stage-
Coach, or the Road of Life."

GREAT WESTERN MAGAZINE.

This is an American publication, and the contributors
are all Yankees. Some of their verse and prose is good,
but, as a whole, the Magazine reads heavily, and the

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

There is some talent in the dramatic sketch of
" Semele," which adheres to the old Greek legend
with singular fidelity. The closing catastrophe is
related with much emphasis. "Continental Literati"
gi% es a brief biographical memoir of the celebrated
French novelist, George Sand—alias Madame Dude-
vant-.-who is one of the new, shining lights of the
modern Parisian school of philosophy. " She is, in
our opinion," says the biographer, " the type of ge-
nius. Her faults are the extravagances or eccen-
tricities of genius--her excellencies are those of ge-
nius in its strength and beauty. She is full of faith,
of enthusiasm, of noble aspirations. If her opinions
be wrong, they are at least sincere. We also recog-
nisv in her passionate reception of every great idea
the characteristic of genius." The remaining articles
in the Number are of average merit.

THE BRITISH MAGAZINE.

Under a feeling that every great effort in painting,
from Timanthes to Raphael, has been executed under
the auspices of religion, the Reviewer for this Maga.-
zinc, observing the paucity of sacred pictures in this
year's exhibition at the Academy, considers that
the present age .is but little destined to speak
through the organ of painting to the future. Art,
undoubtedly, rises highest, when it expresses the
highest characteristics of our nature. A letter from
the Rev. Mr. llook, the Vicar of Leeds, contradicts
a late allegation made against him, that he ever
poured wine, whether consecrated or unconsecrated,
down a sink in his church, or stuffed the sacrament-
bread into a spout. In some comments upe.n
13ecketts " Wilful Maintenance of Wickedness in
the Clergy," as alleged by William of Newbery,
it is stated that more than one hundred murders
were, in eight or nine years, committed by the:
clergymen of the time. " The History of Pews
contains a curious etymology—" Pew' which was
unknown before the Reformation, is derived from the
Dutch puye, and had originally two meanings, viz.,
the seat in the theatre next the orchestra or amphithe-
atre, and also, a heap of stones. In this latter sense
there was a famous chapel at Westminster in the time
of Edward 111., called " The Chapel of our Lady of the
Pue," since huge heaps of stones had to be thrown
into the marsh where it was built before the founda-
tion could he laid.

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.

TO ARCHITEZ,"T;;: Engineers, Contractors,
Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
to Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Rematkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gl ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly fret' from any of the caustic:
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, cr crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a mo,t
• tant item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
important
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information atorded.

ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS

The LORD CHANCELLOR read her Majesty's
most gracious answer to the Address of the two Houses
presented yesterday. The answer was as follows :
" My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
" I receive with heartfelt gratification this loyal and
dutiful address from the two Houses of Parliament.

" I -am' thankful to the Almighty for his merciful
care, protecting me, and the Prince, my beloVed con-
sort, from this danger. I humbly rely on the good
providence of God, in preserving me from every
danger.
"IFirm in this trust, and sincere in the desire to
promote the happiness of my people, I am comforted
and supported by this renewed assurance of your at-
tachment to my Government and person."
The answer was ordered to be inserted in the- re-
cords of the House. . .
• CRIME IN IRELAND.
Lord EBRINGTON moved that the returns: of
crimes' in Ireland should be continued to a later pe-
riod than had been moved by a Noble Earl (the Earl
of Glengall) on a former evening. He thought those
returns might be brought down to the month oiMarch
last.

The Marquis of NORMANBY remarked, with
regard to the case of Mr. Biddulph, which had already
come before their Lordships, that it might appear at
first sight as if the blame of the delay which had
occurred in that case rested between the Lord Chan-
cellor of Ireland and the Lord Chief Justice. He was
anxious that the public should know where the blame
really did rest; and he would most unhesitatingly
state that it must rest either with the Crown
Prosecutor or the Crown Solicitor for not
having furnished the reports of the trial to
the Government, and thus keeping them in
ignorance of an important fact. He did not wish
to stir any further in this matter, but he thought it
due to the Government to say that the matter could
not have originated with the Lord Chancellor, or the
Lord Chief Justice.
The Motion before the House was then agreed to.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the'last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will lake place in December,
1846, being an interval of five Sear, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

THE BISHOP OF QUEBEC.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said that he understood that
when a brother officer of his died in Canada during the
course of last year, the officers of his regiment had re-
quested permission to erect a tablet to his memory,
in the Cathedral of Quebec, which permission had
been refused by the Bishop. He wished to ask
the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the ColonLs, if he had
heard of any refusal on the part of the Bishop of Quebec
to permit the erection of a tablet to the memory of an
officer of the 2d Grenadier Guards, in the Cathedral
Church of Quebec, and if he had seen copies of any cor-
respondence between the BiShop of Quebec and the
t.,fficer commanding the troops in Canada on the subject.
Lord STANLEY said the only information he had
r;ceived on the subject was, from common report upon
what had passed elsewhere on the subject ; and with re-
gard to the correspondence, he was not sware of its ex-
istence until that Hon. Gentleman had informed him
of it.

Mr. W. 0. STANLEY would on Monday repeat the
question to the Secretary at War, as he was aware there
was a correspondence on the subject at the Horse
G nards.

Englishman, who was menaced by an assassin, fired
at him, and blew out his brains. The police have not taken
any steps against the Englishman, but have advised him,
for his own security, to quit the city. A few days ago, the
palace of the wealthy Cardinal Del Drago was plundered in the
middle of the day of a large sum of money, and a quantity o"
jewels, amongst which was a crucifix in diamonds valued al

Extract from Editor's Notice to Abbotsford Edition :-
-It was a favourite pursuit of Sir Waltir Scott throughout
Life, but. especially in his most active period, to collect and ar-
range objects of art connected with the historical events and
personages recorded arid it ustrated by his pen ; and it. cannot
be doubted that a series of Engravings, representing the Pic-
torial and Antiquarian Museum at Abbotsford, would furnish
the most instructive graphic commentary that the body of his
writings could' receive from any one source whatever. This
collection, therefore, valuable in itself, and doubly interesting
as having been made by such a hand, has now been studied
with (tare, and its various curiosities faithfully copied, for the
exclusive purposes of an Edition of the Waverly Novels, which
is to bear the title of
THE ABBOTSFORD EDITION.
The aim, on the present occasion, is to give them whatever
additional interest may be derive 4 from the representation of
what was actually in the contemplation or memory of the author
when he composed them.
Accordingly, for this Edition, the real localities of his scenes
have been explored; the real portraits oF his personages have
been copied ; and his surviving friends and personal admirers,
as well as. many pub'ic bodes and injitutions, have liberally
placed whatever their collections afforded Et the disposal of the
eminent artists engaged by the Proprietors.
