In the House of Lords last night, the Marquis of
Dogmatises presented a Petition, numerously signed
by. Noblemen, Gentlemen, Merchants, anti others, from
Ireland, who had formed themselves into a Society for
the purpose of relieving Ireland from so many idle
bands by means of agricultural employment on a great I
scale, a project which cannot fail to be beneficial to lie-
;and and part °fits destitute populaudn. His Lordship
remarked, that the subject b4ii been Undev'the consider-
ation of his Majesty's Government, and had received .a
favourable hearing.
In -the House of Commons, last night, Mr. PAULST
Taligisos moved for leave to bring in a Bill •to amend the
['airy Laws. The Honourable Member' mentioned some very
strong cases In Nippon of his views, which went pOncipally to
remove the ',amities on usurious contracts. not to alter the legal
standard of interest. The Cuescettoti of the SUMMONS
glictrod that the *Mons evils of the laws, as they at present stood,
called for:anasdrerat. After a few observations from Sir R. Hmos,
Mr. MARTIN, Mr. Carrel, and Sir- JOHN SIIIIIJOHT, the 417-
irmunrr Gnaw. said, if the legal standard were preserved,
he should not feel disposed to oppose the Bill, but if it were
wit he should certainly resist its being passed into a law. 3dr. J.
lhorrst thought if the measure went no farther than the Attorney-
Giberal seemed disposed to sanction it, it might as well not pass at
*IL Mr. Cetcaarr was opposed to any repeal so far as respected
interest on mortgages. Mr. Baum thought that modification of
the usury laws was decidedly better than total repeal. Mr. Suomi,
116. MOONS, Lord Atenoae, and Mr. MAIWILL, made a few
obsereatiout, after which leave was given to bring in the Bill.—
A debate of rather a personal nature,took place on the question of
the second reading of the Bill for granting a pension to the Fa-
mily of the late Mr. Cannes. Sir R. Fitattusos. Mr. Loot
Kum, and Mr. Belize', animadverted with considerable force
we the Report of a Speech of Mr. S. • Rice,. which bad been
published. not in'the regular way In which debates are given to the
Public, and in which unworthy motives were Imputed to some
lioniterable Members who opposed the grant in the brat instance.
The deliate upon this subject will be found to possess no incon-
lidera* degas of interest.
We have received, by Express, the Gazette de France
and Message, desChavnbres, dated Tuesday ,10th April,'
and the Moniitar and other Morning Papers of Mon-
day. the- 19th. They contain no recent news from
Turkey. In the Sittings of the Chamber- of Deputies.
on Monday, the Report of the ?reject of Law on the
'Press was brought up ; after which, the debate on the
loan of eighty millions was continued. The Minister
of Maria, said, "The policy of France is easily under.
etood-; the King desires the maintenance of order, and
and of all legitimate rights—the'principle of the rights
of humanity. A policy so glorious, so honourable, is
not difficult to be judged of. It is not a War establish-
ment that we ask of you—we desire to place ourselves
en a respectable Peace establishment, in order not to
be surprised in any case by events."
BERLIN, May 6.
Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 24th of April,
my that the preparitions both in Bessarabia and Georgia
few the approaching campaign are more considerable
titan Russia ever made before, and that it never dis-
. played such a force even in a wir against France. It
seams certain that the Danube will be passed in several
places, and that General Paskenitsch will advance
from Erzertun.
