contain.

Mr. 'WALLACE, in reply said, that the advice which he
mad received from the other side, he had himself given ; the sug-
gestion would be found in his motion ; therefore, he had no
thanks to give them. He would open one page by chance of
the Return. (The Hon. Member here read a long list of
notes and money which had been stolen from the Post-office.)
All this had been taken in one day. He knew a great deal
about the Post-office.—(Cheers and laughter.) He doubted
if the Printing Committee knew any thing about it. It was a
universal rule whenever a bank-note, or a sovereign, or gold
passed through the Post-office that it never was returned.
Nobody ever heard of any property of this sort ever having
been returned; but he would admit to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer that when a letter contained a bill or property of
that nature, which could be negotiated only with some 'dif-
ficulty, it might be recoverable, but there never was an in-
stance of a letter containing coin which was once lost having
ever been recovered. He would appeal to his Noble Friend
the Postmaster-General if such was not the fact. He had no
doubt but that the Postmaster-General himself would not wish to
see the return published. He (Mr. W.) thought it advisable
to prohibit by law the sending of coin by letter. He would
consent to take the abstract, although he felt, that the ab-
stract would not give the information which the return would
give. He believed the system of plunder was so complete,
that the people at the Post.office knew every letter containing
money, that nothing escaped from them. No money got out
of the Post-office now at all. He thought it was
absurd to defend the conduct of the Printing Committee.
Members were treated in the most cavalier way by the Com-
mittee, and he thought he had just cause of complaint. He
would accept the offer which had been made of the abstract,
and withdraw his motion.
;Ir. HUME wished to know whether it was intended to
extend the time for receiving letters at the general receiving-
houses. At present none were received after five o'clock.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said time
had at least been extended a quarter of an hour.
Mr. HUME—That was only four of the houses.
likely to be expended to all ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could no
answer the Hon. Member's question, but he could assure him
that there was every disposition on the part of the rost ni a. ster -
General and of the Treasury to afford the public every facility
in their power.
The motion was then withdrawn.
SURVEY OF NEW 7.F.AL I.ND.
Lord INGESTRIE moved—" That an humble Address be
presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously
pleased to order a Maritime Survey of the Coasts and /Tar
boors of the Islands o f New Zealand." As a proof of the
growing importance of New Zealand, he would mention tha
in one year 152 ships had entered Port Nicholson, and during
the same period 18 vessels had been wrecked on the Coast.
This showed the necessity of having a survey in order to have
correct charts. There was no department of the Admiralty
more useful than the Hydroprapher's. As lie did not eish to
press suddenly upon the resources of that department he would
qualify his motion by adding to it the words " when vessels
can be spared for that duty without inconveniense to the public
service."
Capt. PECHELL was glad the Noble Lord had called at-
tentien to the subject. The Government, bethought, ought to
explain why the survey had not taken place long :incr.
Ile agreed with the praise which had been bestowed upon the
Ilydrographical department of the Admiralty. There was no
department better conducted, and none worse paid. The posi-
tion of the hydrographer's office was truly disgraceful, in a
miserable garret at the Admiralty. At the hale he was on the
coast of America during the American war, there was fre-
quently an error of a degree of longitude in the charts of the
American coasts, so that it was quite unsafe to trust to them.
He was sorry the Noble Lord had listened to the suggestion
which had been made to him, to make the addition to his
motion which he had done. In fact, there was no intention
whatever to make the survey, It might. perhaps be made in
the course of the next twenty years, but it ought to be made
immediately.—Agreed to.
Mr. COWPEIt postponed his motion for calling the atten-
tion of the House to the state of the Greenwich Hospital
Schools, and to move the following resolution—" That, in the
opinion of this House, the schools attached to the Royal Hos-
pital at Greenwich should be open at all times to the inspection
of inspectors appointed by the Committee of Privy Council on
Education, and that Reports of such inspection should be an-
nually laid upon the table of this House"—to the 12th May.
Mr. HUME postponed his motion for a Committee to in-
quire into the proceedings of the Commissioners of the National
Debt, under the Act 9 Geo. IV., c. 92.
FINES AND RECOVERIES BILL ( WALES AND
CHESHIRE).
Sir J. GRAHAM, in moving for leave to introduce a Bill
" for remedying defects arising from the misprision of Officers
in recording Fines and Recoveries in Wales anti Cheshire, and
for better recording the same," said, that under the ancient
jurisdiction of fines and recoveries, there had been very
gross neglect. When he said neglect, he used the mildest
term, for he had reason to believe that some very im-
proper transactions had taken place in that depart-
ment ; so much so, that many titles had been jeopardised.
In prov:ding a remedy great care should be taken not to injure
those titles which had been affected. This was a subject of the
greatest importance, and he had not introduced this Bill with-
out first consulting the highest legal authorities.—Leave was
given.
The RIGHT HON. BARONET also moved for a copy of the
Report of Mr. Block, on the subject of fines and recoveries.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BILL.
On the Order of the Day being read for going into Com-
mittee on this Bill,
Lord S NL EY said he hoped the Hon. Member opposite
(Mr. Hawes) would postpone his amendment to a clause
of this Bill until the third reading, and not take the sense
of the House on the Report. As the Honourable Gentleman
wished but one discussion, he (Lord Stanley) hoped the Hon.
Gentleman would consent to take it on the third reading.
Mr. HA WES said he thought the Noble Lord had hardly
done him justice, as he (Mr. Hawes) had already postponed
his motion, and he therefore could not consent to further
delay, but take the discussion on the Report.
Dr. 130 WRING said he believed it was generally under-
stood that the discussion should be taken on the Report.
Mr. HUME said that he himself approved of the clause, but
he wished a discussion to take place, and he thought more jus-
tice would be done to the subject by discussing it on the Report.
After a few words from Mr. Plumridge, Lord Stanley, and
Sir C. Napier,
The Report was brought up.
The consideration of the Report on the Colonial Passalgers
Bill was deferred till Monday next.
The Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill went through Com-
mittee. Report on Monday.
The Timber Ships Bill was read a third time.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at One o'clock.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—It must be admitted that the. ptoposal
of extending to land the existing taxes on the succes-
sion to personal property is not at present what can be
called a practical question ; that is to say, it is' not -a
question there is much practical prospect of carrying.
Neither is it what can be called a party question.
There are conscious and unconscious landed predilec-
tions on both sides the House. Lord John Russell
and Lord Howick showed no alacrity to extend im-
posts on inheritance. Sir R. Peel on the other hand,
showed no uncomprising front against it on principle.
This, therefore, must be regarded as an open question,
lemanding discussion, and which must be matured by
that process for ultimate settlement. It appears to us,
however, that Mr. Elphinstone was perfectly justi-
fied in brigading it under consideration at the mo-
ment he did. For what is that moment ? It
is that at which Parliament -are just about to
impose most unequal taxation, by most inquisi-
torial machinery, on the 'profits of trade and in-
dustry. Surely that was the moment, if any,
to meal its attention to the fact that existing taxes
arc not equally extended to all classes ! " The
Ih " says the Post, " had just agreed to tax
landed property by sevenpence in the pound
upon the income derived from it, when up starts
this philosopher to propose a new tax upon the same
description of property." And why not, pray, if this
new tax is merely equivalent to other taxes already
levied on other property, and from which land is un-
duly exempted ? The House is going to lay a new
tax on all income as well as landed. It is going a
step farther—just where arrested by Mr. Elphin-
stone.- It is going to extend its new tax to pro-
ceeds of capital which are not net income. It is
going to tax, as income, funds which are clearly dess
tined to replace capital. Before it consummates this in-
ustice against other classes than those which prepon-
derate so decidedly at present in Parliament, is it not
fair to ask it to begin by justice against its Givn class ?
Would it not call with a better grace for contributions
which really encroach upon capital, if it could first
point to a voluntary sacrifice of an unjust privilege?
With what degree of decency will it tax traders on
more than their income, after deciding that the public
revenue shall continue less than its just amount by
exempting from taxation the descent to property of
their own order ?
STANDARD.—The Southampton ComMittee has
made the proper use of the advice tendered to it, and
Mr. Fleming has not been pressed for the answer
which the committee had no legal right to compel,
and which, uncompelled, he could not give without
a violation of confidence. 'We hail this return to
the sound legal path with satisfaction, not only as
proof that the Committee's error in the first instance
was merely an error of misconception, but also as
affording a precedent which must render the acts
of this and other Committees more efficient, by
making those acts more sober and considerate,
and the Committees more respectable and more re-
spected. Many projects are offered from day to day,
having for their object the prevention of corrup-
tion; but, questionless, good Committees for the
trial of controverted elections, present the most
natural, the most simple, and the most constitutional
preventive. When men are taught, as such Com-
mittees will teach them in a little time, that they
must probably throw away the money which they
expend in bribery, few will be so foolish as to ven-
ture in a lottery so unpromising. "We much doubt
whether, if the writs were issued to-morrow, any purse-
laden adventurer would be found to take the chance
of Sudbury or Ipswich. It is no doubt proper to
punish the corrupting candidate and the corrupted
elector, and to punish them as severely as the laws will
permit—and such exemplary punishments, co-
operating with the diminution of the chances of
success and or impunity, would go further in check-
ing corruption than the ballot or fifty projects of the
kind ; but we are not to be told at this time of day
that it is the certainty of failure and punishment,
and not merely the severity of the latter, tha t
prevents critne—indeed the certainty of thilure is a
more powerful dissuasive than even the certainty of
punishment after success. We hear every day of
inen committing crimes, the punishment of which is
namifestly inevitable ; but we never hear of men out
of Bedlam attempting impossibilities. The most
desperate housebreaker never dreams of committing
a burglary upon the Bank of England ; its walls, its
locks, and its watchmen, more than serve the purpose of
penal laws in protecting that establishment. The reason
why a manifest impossibility, or even a great impro-
bability of success, operates more effectually to present
crime than the utmost dread of punishment, is
obvious without any metaphysical research. Oppor-
tunity is, of all the agents of the Evil One, the most
successful tempter ; but manifest impossibilities or
great improbabilities, shut out the sense of oppor-
tunity, and thus do what the fear of punishment can
rarely do—arrest the very first movements to.
crime. How does it happen that nobody hat, ever
yet made his way into the House of Commons Upon.
a forged return ? The thing could be effected with
less trouble and expense than a return by bribery ;
and it could not be visited with a heavier punishment
—not, as we imagine, with so heavy a punishment.
The reason is, because the enterprise, though it might
succeed for a day or two, would be sure to fail in the
end. Now, let the same certainty of failure attend a
return obtained by bribery, and you will no more
have such returns than you will haveforged returns.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the transaction of a great
deal of business.

1 The Lord Mayor laid before the Court her Majesty's most
gracious a,swer to the address on the subject of the Corn-laws:
Ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Court.
THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.
Mr. R. L. JONES brought up the Report of the Royal Ex-
change and Gresham Trusts Committee, on having agreed
with the Bank of England for the advance of the sum of
70,0001., for the Citv's moiety of expense of re-building the
Royal Exchange and the new Gresham College, and for
making a bond for 5,000/. part thereof.
On the Report being read, a conversation of some length
took place upon the subject of the- mode proposed for redeem-
ing the loan ; and Mr. Jones having offered no objection what-
ever to the postponement of the consideration of that part of
the Report, the Court agreed on the former portion, relative to
the negotiation with the Bank.

It sv.s mentioned incidentally in the discussion, by Mr. R.
TAYLOR, that it would be very well if the City Lands Com-
mittee would take care in letting the estates to prevent them
from being made burial places.—(Hear, hear.) And Mr.
HALL (the Chairman of the Committee) stated that the
Committee were doing all they could to prevent the extension
of the nuisance.—( Hear, hear.)
CITY REc"EIPTS AND EXPENDITURE..
The Chamberlain's annual account of the receipts and ex-
penditure of the Corporation was handed into Court, and or-
dered to be printed.
MANSION HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.

A very long discussion took place upon the Report of the
Committee, recommending the removal of the a'tic over the
ball-room at the Mansion-house.

The Report was ultimately agreed to, and referred back to
the Committee to be carried into execution.
THE NUISANCE AT HOLBORN HILL.

A petition w•as presented from Mr. Johnllelcl;;,;oposing
a viaduct as a means of remedying the evil arising from the
acclivity at Holborn-hill. &c.—Referred to a Committee.
SERVICES OF CLERKS IN OFFICES OF THE

CORPORATION.
Mr. R. TAYLOR moved, that it be referred to the Officers
and Clerks' Committee, to consider the length of service of
Mr. Benjamin Welton, and Mr. Henry Welton, of the Town
Ch rks' Office, and to report whether any increase should be
made to their salaries.

A discussion of great length took place upon this motion,
which was warmly seconded by Sir Peter Laurie, and supported
by Air. R. L. Jones and others; and opposed by Mr. Ander-
ton, Mr. Wire, &c. Every Member who spoke admitted the
strong claims of the two gentlemen, who have been for a num-
ber of years in the Town Clerk's Office, and have been distin-
guished not less for urbanity of manners, than for knowledge
of the business of the Office, and ability in communicating
information connected with it. The supporters of the
motion of reference contended that the Court would do
itself credit by recognising those claims in the most unequi-
vocal manner ; but the opponents a.f the Report urged that the
Messrs. Welton were the servants of the Town Clerk and not
of the Corporation, to which the Town Clerk was responsible
for the proper performance of all the duties ; and that, there-
fore, upon principle, the motion ought to be negatived, in what-
ever shape the Court might think proper hereafter to reward
those to whom the motion related.

Thu motion was finally negatived, and the Court adjourned.

THE METROPOLITAN PARLIA-

MENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION. --
A new Society, under the above title, has just been
organised in the metropolis. It embraces some of the oldest,
the staunchest, and the most distinguished Parliamentary Re-
formers. It has put forth a prospectus, and an address to the
people of Great Britain, and promises, we trust and hope, to
unite the great majority in demanding a real representation.
We shall take an early opportunity of further noticing this
Society ; we must now, from the pressure of other matter, dis-
miss it with a hearty prayer for its success.

THE FIGHT BETWEEN- JOHNNY
BROOME AND DUNGAREE, FOR £6OO.
The above contest took place on Wednesday, a few
miles the other side of Newmarket—and since the
days of Molineux, who came from America to wrest
the laurels from Old Torn Cribb, the Champion of
England, and Dan Donnelly, the Irish Champion,
who left Paddy's land to knock about the nobs of the
descendants of John Bull, there has been nothing
like it. The excitement has been kept up for the
last three months all over England, more especially
as Bungaree was termed a foreigner! It is true be
was bOrn in Australia, and born of English parents,
who were settlers ; according to his account, he
had beaten several good men in Australia.
one denominated Old Dutch Sam, from his
likeness to that tremendous boxer of the light
weights ; and Dungaree had also defeated one of the
Clalkers, renouned for their pugilistic achievements
in that part of the world ; but it should seem accord-
ing to the mill yesterday, that fighting in Australia
is rather different as to character and style, to the
scientific boxing in England. Dungaree on going to
scale weighed lOst. 61b., and Broome but 9st. 81b.
The latter had fallen offhis weight in the last four days,
owing to indigestion, but in every other respect he
appeared as fine as a star. The road appeared as
usual in high bustle and style; so much interest had
been created in the lordly nobs of the Corinthians,
and also in the " upper stories" of the commoners,
" that it would be in bad taste for a foreigner to
crow over Englishmen."
Bungaree with great confidence first threw his tile
in the ring ; and Broome soon afterwards exhibited
the same token of defiance ; both of them were well
received by the spectators. On sitting down close
together in the most friendly manner, previous to
stripping and the commencement of the battle, Dun-
garee observed, with a smile upon his countenance,
" Johnny, I shall lick you easily to-day—l am cer-
tain of it." "You have got that to do yet ; and as a
proof that you have overshot your mark, I will bet
you 25/. to 201. that you lose it. Nay, more, I'll
make it 30/. to 201." And he immediately went up
to a sprig of nobility, who had made a trial of Bun
car e abilities, and also backed him, saying, "Noble
Sir, lend Bungaree 2O/." However, no bet took
place, and the fight commenced. The odds 6 and 7
to 4 on Broome. Seeing what we have previously seen
in the P.R., Bungaree stood badly on his pins, wide apart
and not like a winning man. But, nevertheless, he
appeared confident, and, after the exchange of a few
blows, Bungaree was thrown. In the third round,
Bungaree put in a heavy right hander on the nob of
his opponent, which appeared, for a short period, to
leave something like a dunning effect; but Johnny
soon shook it off, and then had it all his own way, by
giving the first clear knock down blow, drawing the
first claret, and gaining everything in his favour to-
wards winning. Broome now clearly saw his way,
and his practice in the Ring made him go to work
with a certainty that conquest would crown his
efforts. Bungaree received repeated knock-down blows;
the superior fighting of Broome was manifest to the
spectators; and the odds from all parts of the Ring were
loudly offered upon Broome. It is but justice to say, on
the part of Bungaree, that he proved himself a game
man ; and he could make a good hit with his right
hand, but whether the conceit had been taken out of
him, or that he was getting abroad, he did not use it,
and he had no character as a scientific fighter. Both
his peepers had been "measured for a suit of mourn-
ing," and the last two rounds he fZ)ught totally in the
'dark. The chance being against hito, his friends re-
quested of him to surrender the victory to his oppo-
nent, but he would not. However, as he could not
see his way, of course Johnny Broome, amidst loud
shouts of his backers and friends, was declared the
victor in fifty-five minutes. Dungaree might have
been able to have continued the contest for some time
longer, as the fight was not exactly out of him, but
he would not consent to have his eyes lanced. He
was punished about the body. Broome,- excepting a
hand blow on the side of the head, had little to com-
plain of, and, after the fight, dined with several of his
friends at Newmarket. On the colours of Dungaree
were to be seen in large capital letters, " Australia
advance." From the specimen he has exhibited as a
fighting man, it might now be prudent to take on
him, " Australia retreat."

Broome arrived at his house iii Air. street, early
this morning, and his mug did not show much that he
had been engaged in a pugilistic cont:st. All the
houses belonging to the boxers were crowded to an
overflow last night ; nay, Air-street was filled with
persons 8.4 early as five o'clock, and did not feel the
least sort of fatigue at waiting till past one o'clock be-
fore anything like an accurate statement of the fight
could be obtained ; yet so confident were the backers
of Broome, that, at seven o'clock at night, three to one
were offered that he had won the fight. Jcm Burn's.
house, Swift's, Spring's, Hannan's, and Peter Craw-
ley's, were crowded to suffocation, giving an indica.
tion of rather a revival of the sports in the prize-ring
against the horrid introduction of the knife.

SEVENTY-SECOND REGEVIENT.

SIR,-1 beg, to correct a mistake in your paper of
Wednesday respecting the statement, given by a Corre-

72d Regiment, the corps which your Correspondent has
reference to. My father served in the above regiment,
and entered it when first raised; and I myself was also.
in the same corps.
For a correct and interecting sketch of the turn ckt
on Leith Link 3 I refer your readers to an article. in

NATIONAL CONVENTION,
The Convention met yesterday morning at nine, at the Dr.
Johnson Tavern, Fleet-street. Mr. D u cA N took the chair.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.
A great number of letters were read from different parts of
the country, enclosing signatures to be added to the National
Petition. The petition already numbers three millions of sig. natures. N, other business came before the Convention.
Adjourned till nine o'clock this day.

The following is a copy of the Address lately agreed to by
the Convention to the people of Great Britain :
" Fellow Countrymcii,—The members of the National Con-
vention, in the reports made by them of the present position.
and future prospect of the Chartist cause, have stated that.
much excitement prevails In various parts of the country, con-
cerning the different movements directed against the present-
system of government, and the particular line of action we
have adopted for the attainment of our principles; ne, there—
fore, conceive it to be our duty togive you our advice as to the,
proper course which should be pursued in regard to these di-.
visions. It is our unanimous opinion, adopted after mature.
deliberation, that you go on with your present movement for-
the People's Charter, whole and entire, riasur AnuxuaNc..-
EVEN TO THE NAME.

" Extend your present organisation in England, and Scot
land, and Wales. Unite your energies for an attainment of-
that object for which you have so nobly struggled during
many years, amidst reviling, persecutions, and misrepresenta-
tion. Turn neither to the right hand nor to the left. Keep
the even tenor of your way on principle alone. Extend the
right hand of cordial welcome to men of all rinks, classes, and
creeds, to induce them to unite with you in the great struggle
for national regeneration and enfranchisement.
" The People's Charter has become a household word : its
principles are engraven on the hearts of millions of our fellow_
countrymen ; and the name is endeared by the recollections of
the long sufferings endured, and perseverance exhibited, in its
behalf. Amidst adversity and prosperity, in the hours of per-
secution and distress, we scorned to deny it, and are not dis-
posed to abandon it now, when its banners wave triumphant,
over all other national standards. Each succeeding day snakes
converts to your principles, proving to the distressed of
classes that it is only through their truth and justice that they.
can be freed from the errors and wrongs of class legislation.
As the process of conviction and conversion goes on aniongst,
those that have been hitherto opposed to you, various offers of
union and support will be proposed to you, modified, according-
to the knowledge, prejudices, feelings, and position in life in.
which the parties may be placed. Some will only perceive, or
acknowledge, your principles in part; others will acknowledge
them entire, but object to your desimiation of them, or the,
manner in which you strug;gle to attain them. To the first,
your answer must be your conviction of the truth of your
cause, and your hope that time and honest inquiry will im-
press that truth on them ; to the others, that you have no cause
to be ashamed of your name, and cannot abandon it to suit the
prejudices and fastidious taste of those that may ever and anon.
arise to find fault with it, while they adopt the principles it;
designates. A naine to be fairly judged, ought to be so by the.
principles it represents, and not by the actions of any person or-
persons that may have borne it ; for those that act not in ac—
cordance with the principles, are not entitled to the name:
therefore, those that adopt our principles, and shrink at their
name, evince a weakness of mind winch we lament, as show_.
ing them unequal to the stern and unbending purpose which.
should nerve the patriot in his contest against wrong sustainedt
y prejudice, falsehood, and persecution.
"We look to you, then, fellow-countrymen, to proceed
wisely and firmly in the work in which we are engaged; keep
your present organisation, adding to it the power that increased
experience gives you, remembering that on each and all of yesa
e
responsibility
in your
y of makingo,.n persons. Go oil,
your principles and
their
the
name res
then, in the even course of justice arid right—hail with:
r
pleasure all movements based on the Charter that may
arise to assist you in attaining your objects.
If men
are so weak
as to object to your name, bear with them—
quarrel not with them about a name ; but do not imitate their
weakness by abandoning your own; insist on a stern adherence
to isrinciples ; let these be your guide; watch earnestly for any
wavering or compromise in those that profess to be with you
fur yours—then, and not till then, condemn and resolutely
oppose them, but let all your oppoili" your foes be
for
by mild firmness, appealing to the truth of your cause for suc-
cess ; have faith in that truth, and
rest assured that, if the people
honestly do their duty it will triumph over falsehood, wrong,
and oppression."

A fire broke out on the evening of April 20, says
a letter from Orleans, in the woods of M. Lonet de Alainville,
in the commune of illarsillpdu-Villettc. The inhabitants,
and the gendarmerie of the neighbourhood, got the fire under
in about four hours. The space laid bar© by the conliagra-
tion extends to about eleven acres. The origin of the fire is
not stated.
