police discovered a vast number of incendiary bombshells
at the residence of a tailor, in the Passage Violet. A
• quantity of gunpowder and eartouches, just made, were
discovered in other quarters. Amongst the persons
arrested are said to be Considere, who had been twice
tried and acquitted before the Chamber of Peers, and
Poncelet, who was convicted allaying been engaged in
the conspiracy of the Rue des Prouvaires and amnestied.
The judicial investigation was proceeding with the
utmost activity.

The Gazette rlf Upper Germany of the 4th instant
states, that when M. Pugeot applied to Prince Metternich
to enter into an arrangement relative to the Queen of
Spain's marriage, the Prince replied-Ist, that the
northern Powers would not interfere with respect to the
Queen of Spain's marriage until the favourable moment
should arrive ; 2dly, that they would not interfere in the
internal affairs of Spain, nor would they acknowledge
the existing Government ; 3dly, that neither the French
nor English Government could induce them to alter their
determination.
"We have been assured," says the Semaphore de
Marseilles of the 4th instant, "that Charles Albert,
King of Sardinia, has lately adopted a measure worthy
of the worst times of the middle ages. He has ordered
the expulsion of the Israelites from the town of Savona,
within three days, and the re-union in one of the filthiest
streets in Genoa (which will thus have its Ghetto) of the
Jewish population of that city."
The Prussian State Gazette states, that in pursuance

roy of Poland was about to issue a third series of Trea-

bearing interest at 5 per cent.
PAMLIAmENTAIVE.

Several Bills were forwarded a stage in the House of Lords
last night, and, amongst them, the Copyright Bill was read a
second time. The discussion is to take place on the Bill being
committed.
Lord Brougham moved the second reading of his Indemnity
Bill, and warmly defended the conduct of the Lords in muti-
lating the Bribery Bill sent up from the Commons last session.
He did not press his motion, on its being pointed out to him that
he ought to have given notice of his intention to move the se-
cond reading of the Bill.
Lord Clifford of Chudleigh drew their Lordships' attention
to the condition of the Catholics in the Presidency of Madras,
but declined to move for a Committee to inquire into the sub-
ject, because he believed the Government would pay proper at-
tention to it.
In the Commons, Mr. P. Howard moved that a new writ
should be issued for Nottingham, Mr. Roebuck opposed the
motion. Sir Robert Peel havieg also declared against it, the
motion was withdrawn.
Mr. Redington moved for leave to bring in a Bill to disfran-
chise Sudbury, and gave a description of the bribery and cor-
ruption in that borough. There was no opposition to the
motion, and the Bill was ordered to be brought in.
In an elaborate speech, which lasted two hours and a halts,
Sir Robert Peel explained the principle, and justified many of
the details, of the tariff.
Mr. Labouchere followed, and stated, at some length, why
he preferred the Whig commercial reform to that proposed by
Sir Robert Peel. At the same time, he gave his approbation
to many parts of the tariff.
From the Opposition Sir Robert received a good deal
of praise, from his own side very cold support. There was a
little dispute, too, as to who were the best free-traders.
Lord Howick withdrew for the present his motion about
colonial duties, to renew it on the next opportunity.
Major Vivian moved for the suppressed passages of Mr.
Aleek's Report. It was admitted that there were suppressed pas-
sages, but the Tories insisted that the fact could only have been
known by a gross breach of confidence. A warm, though a
short, debate ensued, Mr. Matthias Attwood and other Tories
supporting the motion, which ended by a division, when the
motion was lost by 67. The House went into Committee pro
forma, and it was settled that the tariff should be proceeded
with on Friday week. Ihe third reading of the Income-tax
Bill will not take place till after the Whitsun holidays.
Pursiac OPINION.
The Chronicle says, in reference to Mr. Roebuck's motion :
" It was impossible to listen to the debate last night without
being strongly impressed with the necessity of great vigilance
upon the part of the Liberal party, to prevent the object of
this inquiry being defeated by their opponents. While upon
the one hand the Government refused to take up the subject
themselves, there was an evident disposition among their party
to restrict as much as possible the limits of inquiry. It would
be manifestly but a mockery to enter upon it without such
powers as are essential to enable the Committee to go to the
very root of the evil. For this purpose, an Indemnity Bill
must be passed, and when it is proposed we trust we shall
hear none of that canting respect for the principle of our law
that protects all men from the necessity of criminating them-
selves, and which we have recently heard lauded with much
constitutional fervour. By all means, let protection be given
against the legal penalties of confessed delinquencies; but
beyond this protection should not be given. It it be, Mr. Roe-
buck's motion will terminate as it began, by a short-lived sen-
sation in the House of Commons and the clubs. Let us avoid
this as we would avoid inquiry by another tribunal, one of last
resort, to the exercise of whose jurisdictions upon such questions
we should look with the most serious apprehensions.
The Post sass—" Those modern luminaries in politics and
politeness, the Marquis of Normanby and Mr. Hutt, of Gates-
head, have certainly not been quite so successful in their Par-
liamentary on-sets respecting the Borough Magistracy as their
admirers, no doubt, expected. They have invited an exposure
of the misdeeds of their own party, which otherwise need not
have been made. Though to help a lame dog over a style is
not very glorious work, yet this have some journals essayed
with respect to the unlucky failure of Messrs. Normanby and
Hutt. They seek to add to the logic and eloquence of these
great senators such arguments as further thought has suggested,
and such as may, perhaps, be considered to soothe the disap-
pointment of those who expected some victory—alas ! how vain
the expectation !—from the united exploit of the Noble Lord
and Ilunourable commoner.,,

The following remarks are from the Times:—" There
have been few matters of greater importance since the present
session of Parliament opened, none of greater interest and
curiosity, than the Member for Bath's motion, respecting com-
promises in Parliamentary elections, bribery, venality, and the
host of mischiefs attendiag the present state of the represen..
tation. Those who delight in a high-flavoured meal may
of the Roebuck and of the
hHart.'feed
finall uhPn
business,u
however, was settled last
n
we trnst, but for the present, by what
we may call a general
Tycorrption as
acquiescence, for general ac-
commodation, that the business of inquiry had better
be confined to narrower bounds. Alas ! and is the
grand Parliamentary
.Reform come to this ? Yes ;
and we will tell the nation, what perhaps it very well knows
already, that corruption has extended up to the very bounds
to which the Parliamentary franchise has been extended : and
to whatever limits you stretch the franchise farther, sedet atra
cure behind it, an equal stretch or extension of corruption will
follow. We cannot alter human nature. Under the old system,
corruption was comparatively snug, quiet, and tranquil. Men
of genius, virtue, and talent got into Parliament by it. How
many of such have started to light, to distinc,ion, arid eminence
under the present system ? We fear to answer the question.
Lower the franchise, and you will of course get more ut a
coarser article."
