AUCTION DUTIES BILL.

Earl DALHOUSIE moved thu second reading of the Auc-
tion Duties Bill.
Upon the question that the Bill be now read a second
time being put,
Lord BROUGHAM said that this was the only part of the
budget that he did not exceedingly approve of. He thought
it a very unwise and ill-c3nsidered measure, and that it pro-
ceeJed upon an erroneous view of the subject. Nobody had
objected to the existence of this tax, and nobody felt gratified
for its repeal. The Bill required that the auctioneer should
always have his licence in his pocket, and any Excise officer
might call upon him to produce it, and it lie did not immediately
do so or pay 101., and it might so happen that he had rot the 10/.
either, he would be liable to be sent to prison for a month.
The Bill was still mere objectionable in its provisions relating
to distress for rent. The Bill allowed any person to distratn
and sell tha goods by auction, provided the rent was under
20/, This remission of the auction duty was one of the re-
liefs which was the consequence of the property-tax, and he
was bound to mention this instance, because it deeply im-
plicated a certain department which he should not mention.
It did not reflect on the Government, but he should hand
them the paper which he held in his hand, in order that
the Government might take the proper notice of it. He
should state the circumstance as a warning to the property-
tax commissioners in every part of the country, that Parlia-
ment would visit such gross carelessness as was evinced

LYCLUAL

On Duly is the title of a pleasing two-act trifle pro-
duced at this theatre last evening. Keeley is "on duty"
as a certain Corporal Fritz, of the local militia of some
place in Germany, and while on duty he makes .a dis-
covery that Henrietta (Miss Villars), to whom he is
affianced, is in love with Count Frederick Lowenstein
(F. Vining). Such being the state uf affairs, the rest
may be easily imagined—Keeley gets into all sorts of
absurd situations ; among others he stands upon a pe-
stal in a garden as a Dutch painted statue, in order to
dr:A:over the faithlessness of his Henrietta—and is the.
most ludicrously ill-used individual upon earth. How.
ever, finding Henrietta is inclined to jilt him, he solaces
himself with tie charms of Madame Dentelle (Mrs.
Woollidgc), a widow who has been long anxious to
catch him, and Henrietta becomes Countess of Lowen-
stein. The character of Henrietta was very nicely
payed by Miss Viliars, who introduced a song, which
she gave very prettily, and in which she was deservedly
encored. F. ➢iathcws, as a frivolous, stupid, dancing
old Baron, with a young wife, was very funny, and con-
tributed greatly to the success of the piece, which we
doubt not will be On May at the Lyceum for some time
to come.

FRENCH PLAYS—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Her Majesty and Piiuce Albert honoured this theatre
with their presence last evening. The performances
commenced with Casimir Delavigne's comedy L'Ecole
desVieilturds, almost the last of the comedies of the legi-
timate and classical school of France. Mademoiselle
I'lessy, as Madame Danville, was admirable. She
seemed to feel that it was a great occasion, and to put
forth all her powers, and never did she exert them more
effeetivtly than she did last evening. Cartigny, as Bon-
nard, was excellent, and M. Pascal, as the Due, was ex-
quisite; ho is certainly one of the best dressers on the
stage—quite a French Mario. Oudinot, as Monsieur
Danville, was also very good. Her Majesty seemed
much pleased with the manner in which this admirable
comedy was produced. It was followed by La Gageure
Impreeue,in %hid' Mademoiselle Plessy again appeared,
in the character of Maclaine de Clairville. The house
was crowded to excess, by one of the most fashionable
audiences of the season.

The private accounts-current, as specified in the total ope-

75,883,477 f, as compared with the preceding three months;
the total sums received and paid on these accounts each
amount to about 52,000,0001. sterling. The total advances
on deposits of bullion amount to 14,978,000 f. ; the amount
for the same purpose for the three months ending the 26th of
December was 11,666,500 f. The advances on public securi-
ties were 5,429,000 f., being nearly the same as iu the pre-

The amount of bills under discount is about 3,650,0001.
The specie held by the Bank of France is about 10,300,0001.,

therefore, that the amount of specie, as compared with the

[LEFT SPEAKING.]

On Sunday night, as the family of Mr. T. French,
residing at 30, Oxendon-street, Haymarket, were about re-
tiring to rest, they were alarmed at hearing an unusual noise
in one of the upper rooms, and knowing their own family were
in the lower part of the house, Mr. French at once instituted
a strict search, and succeeded in discovering a man secreted
under a bedstead. Mr. French quickly dragged him from
his hiding place • he did not make any resistance, pretent:ing
to be drunk.—Upon2 the same evening a man was found
under nearly similar circumstances at Mr. Chambers', 42,
Whitcomb-street. The men were both handed over to the
police.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 7.
INCOME-TAX.

The Marquis of NORMANBY stated it was
his intention, at a future time, to move for leave
to bring in a Bill to give the right of voting
to all persons paying the income-tax. He did this, be-
lieving that now the income-tax would become per-
petual. He should lay this Bill on the table of the
House in the course of the present session, and should
be guided by circumstances in taking further steps.
JUSTICES AND CORONERS.

The NOBLE MARQUIS gave notice of his intention, on
Thursday, to put a question to some of the Noble Lords
- -, with refer-
ence to prisoners committed for trial, relative to the pro
ceedings to be taken by the coroner wheu his inquisition
was depending at the time the prisoner was committed ;
and as to whether or not the party charged should be
brought before him ; and he wished to know whether
the Government had any measure to propose, in order
to put an end to the great scandal that existed on the
subject, in consequence of the differences that had taken
place latterly between the coroner and the magistrates on
this subject?
SANITARY CONDITION OF TOWNS.

In answer to a question from the NOBLE MARQUIS,
The Duke of BUCCLEUGH stated that the
subject of the sanitary condition of towns had
been much considered by her Majesty's Govern-
ment, and he considered that they would in a
short time be able to ley on the table of the House a Bill
upon the subject. With reference to the petition the
Noble Lord had presented from Limerick, praying that
the operations of the measure might be extended to Ire-
land, he could assure the Noble Marquis that there
would be no objection on the part of the Government to
extend its operations either to the sister kingdom or to
Scotland.—(Hear, hear.)

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1845,

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock.
The Earl of RADNOR. entered his protest against
the proceedings of Saturday.

In answer to Lord CAMPBELL,
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he could not tell
when the subject of Scotch Banking would be brought
forward, but that he would take care due notice of
the time should be given.
London, England, 1845-04-08

MAYNOOTH.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition
from Lanark against any increase in the grant to the
College of Maynooth, but said he did not concur in its
prayer.
Lord DENMAN presented a petition from the Dis-
senters of Huntingdon against the increase of the grant
to Maynooth, but said that he could not concur in its
sentiments, for he thought that the principles most
conducive to the spread of Protestantism was charity
and forbearance.
London, England, 1845-04-08

CUSTOMS DUTIES (GLASS).

The House then went into Committee on the Customs
duties, and
Mr. SPOONER moved that a 1 alteration should
take place in the time wfien the protecting duty on glass
should cease. It was proposed that they should termi-
nate immediately, but his proposition was, that that
operation should not take place uiti! the sthi of April,
1846. He thought it unfair that the glass manufac-
turers should be compelled to meet the competition from
foreign glass manufacturers when they were not prepared
to do so. Although he believed the glass manufacturers
of this country need not fear anything from competition,
ultimately, still they would be seriously injured by being
called upon to compete with foreign manufacturers
immediately. In the case of sheet glass, which was
a most important article, manufacturers in this
country were obliged to employ French manufacturers,
because the manufacturers here, in consequence of the
duty, could not afford to make experiments. The con-
sequence was, the English manufacturers were under
contracts to employ parties for some time to manufacture
that article. The immediate removal of the protective
duties in that respect would cause them great loss.
There could be no doubt that the Right Hon. Gentle-
man had given a great boon to the glass manufacturers
in this country by taking off the duty, but that boon
would be thrown away by taking off immediately the
protective duty. He hoped his Right Hon. Friend the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would consider the subject.
He moved that the line be altered to " On and after the
sth of April, 1846."
Lord INGESTRE had been requested by his consti-
tuency to make a similar request, and he hoped the
Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would consent to extend the time.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
quite certain whether the effect of the Hon. Gentleman's
proposition was not to augment the duty the House had
already agreed to, because, if the Hon. Gentleman's
amendment were agreed to, it would continue the duties
for a period of twelve months. But, independently of this,
the motion was inexpedient in ether respects. The duty to
the extent of one halfpenny per lb. had been retained on
glass imported from Belgium, whose manufacturers were
formidable competitors with the British, and he had al-
ways understood till that night that this course was
likely to give satisfaction to the trade generally.
The amendment was negatived without a division.
The remaining clauses were then agreed to and the
House resumed.
The Chairman then reported progress, and the report
was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.

SANITARY CONDITION OF TOWNS.

In answer to a question froM.the NOBLE hIARQUIs,
The Duke of BUCCLEUGH sta:ed that the
subject of the sanitary condition of towns had
been much considered by her Majesty's Govern-
ment, and he considered that they would in a
short time be able to lay on the table of the House a Bill
upon the subject. With reference to the petition the
Noble Lord had presented from Limerick, praying that
the operations of the measure might be extended to Ire-
land, he could assure the Noble Marquis that there
would be no objection on the part of the Government to
extend its operations either to the sister kingdom or to
Scotland.—(Hear, hear.)
London, England, 1845-04-08

LYCEUM.

On Duty is the title of a pleasing two-act trifle pro-
duced at this theatre last evening. Keeley is "on duty"
as a certain Corporal Fritz, of the local militia of some
place in Germany, and while on duty he makes a dis-
covery that Henrietta (Miss Villars), to whom he is
affianced, is in love with Count Frederick Lowenstein
(F. Vining). Such being the state of affairs, the rest
may be easily imagined—Keeley gets into all sorts of
absurd situations ; among others he stands upon a pe-
stal in a garden as a Dutch painted statue, in order to
discover the faithlessness of his Henrietta—and is the
most ludicrously ill-used individual upon earth. How-
ever, finding Henrietta is inclined to jilt him, he solaces
himself with the charms of Madame Dentelle (Mrs.
Woollidge), a widow who has been long anxious to
catch him, and Henrietta becomes Countess of Lowen-
stein. The character of Henrietta was very -nicely
played by Miss Villars, who introduced a song, which
she gave very prettily, and in which she was deservedly
encored. F. Mathews, as a frivolous, stupid, dancing
old Baron, with a young wife, was very funny, and con-
tributed greatly to the success of the piece, which we
doubt not will be On Duty at the Lyceum for some time
to come.

FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured this theatre
with their presence last evening. The performances
commenced with Casimir Delavigne's comedy L'Ecole
desVieillards, almost the last of the comedies of the legi-

timate and classical school of France. Mademoiselle
Messy, as Madame Danville, was admirable. She
seemed to feel that it was a great occasion, and to put
forth all her powers, and never did she exert them more
effectively than she did last evening. Cartigny, as Bon-
nard, was excellent, and M. Pascal, as the Duc, was ex-
quisite; he is certainly one of the best dressers on the
stage— quite a French Mario. Oudinot, as Monsieur
Danville, was also very good. Her Majesty seemed
much pleased with the manner in which this admirable
comedy was produced. It was followed by La Gageure
Imprevue, in which Mademoiselle Plessy again appeared,
in the character of Madame de Clairville. The house
was crowded to excess, by one of the most fashionable
audiences of the season.

original character of Arnold—that character itcwhieje
he was first introduced to a British audience,- I)4:earnest
character, perhaps his greatest and his bektnile was
superb last evening. The sweetness of some of his tones
cannot be surpassed, and so exquisite is his expression
that he completely carries away his auditors—now
melting them to tears by his impassioned tenderness—
now rousing them by his martial enthusiasm. The last
scene is the crowning triumph of the opera, and never
was Duprez greater. He was called for at the conclu-
sion and loudly applauded. Then there was a call for
Miss Romer, who, as Matilda, had sung and acted de-
lightfully ; and after a short time she appeared, led on
by Duprez. The opera, which was very well put upon
the stage, was followed by the ballet of Robert and
Bet trand.

GROUP Q.

The Select Committee on this group assembled at one o'clock
this afternoon, and agreed to the amended and other clauses in the
NORTH WALES MINERAL, RAILWAY.
The preamble to the Bill had been proved at a former sitting.
(LEFT SITTLNG. )

GROUP R.
DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN.

The Committee met at the usual hour, Mr. Gibson Craig, Chair-
man, when evidence on behalf of this line was gone into.
Mr. Moran, of Ballybeg, was the first witness called. He deposed
as to the amount of trade between Ballybeg and Dundalk. There
was a considerable trade in flax between the town in which he re-
sided and Dundalk. There was a considerable amount of agricul.
tural produce also raised there. At present it was cut off al.
together from port accommodation.
(LEPT siTTINo.)

GROUP SS.

The Committee met at the usual hour, Lord H. Vane in the

chair- feicitkSirekbeitilintigil VALLEY LINE.
Messrs. Calvert and Hope appeared for the promoters of the
Bill, and
Messrs. Talbot, Macaulay, Greenwood, and Wilmore represented
the opponents. . . .

Mr. CALVERT opened his case, by stating that the object of the
Bill was to open the trade of the coal fields through which the line
was to pass. The district consisted of sixty thousand inhabitants,
over a space of 15 miles. The traffic of this district would
be greatly increased. The superiority of railway traffic over
canal was quite manifest. The latter was subject to
the casualties of frost and drought. This line was selected by
Mr. Rennie in 1836, and, was favourably received by the House of
Commons. There were no engineering difficulties to impede the
accomplishment of the work. After the Learned Counsel had gone
into detail of the advi.ntages of the line, he called witnesses in
support of his statement.

(LEFT SirrlNG.)

GROUP X.
LONDON AND YORE LINE.

The Committee assembled at half.past twelve o'clock, and took
up the claims of landowners who oppose the preamble of the Bill,

on the ground of the proposed line passing through their estates,
spoiling their grounds, gardens, views, and intruding on their
privacy.

.51r. Powell, solicitor and agent to Lord Scarborough, produced
Inapt and plans of Ids Lordship's estates, and showoff the spot
through which the proposod line was to pass.

. .
Mr. Walker, land surveyor, deposed as to thr precise nature of
the injury that would be cone, and the amount of land that would
be taken up, as well as the farms, grounds, &c., that would be in-
tersected and divided by the line.
