Railway, the Lyons- and Avignon Railway, and the old
Bordeaux and Cette Railway, half their respective caution
monies.

The Globe says the Board of Trade returns, for the
month ending February sth, show an increase in declared
exports of £1,410,000 over the same time last year. The
chief increase is in cotton manufactures, cotton yarns
silk and woollen manufactures, beer, haberdashery ant
millinery, hardware and cutlery, unwrought leather, sted,
and other machinery. On all the more important descrlP-
tions of metals, with the exception of copper in bricks snd
pigs, in which there is a large falling off, there is a eery
large increase on the various descriptions of iron ; it is
over one hundred per cent. on the declared value and
somewhere about half that proportion on the quantity
exported. Imports seem about the same as at thii time
twelvemonth.
SEIZURE OF AN EMIGRANT VESSEL.—The Suz states,
that the emigrant ship Salsette has been seized a,; Ports-
mouth, by an officer of the Bankruptcy Court. It aPPears
that Dunne and Venables, shipowners and macbants,
had been declared bankrupts. They purposed going to
Port Philip, the former as passenger and part owner of
the Salsette, the latter as master and part owner. She
left London with a valuable cargo, and thirty !migrants,
but was obliged to put into Portsmouth for frefh anchors.
Venables and Dunne joined the vessel there, but the
former was arrested by a sheriff's officer, and lodged in
gaol. The officer of the Bankruptcy Court proceeded
there, and found upon Venables some property and
letters disclosing the intentions of the parties to their
creditors. The value of the vessel and cargo, consisting
chiefly of agricultural implements not psid for, is esti-
mated at £2,500. The emigrants and a bankruptcy court
officer remain on board. Dunne has not surrendered.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

The house met at five o'clock.

Viscount CLANCARTY, in moving for certain returns
furnished by the commissioners of rational education in
Ireland, begged to call the attention of the house to the
operation of the system at presert pursued, which, he
contended, had totally failed in all the objects for which it
was originally intended.—Lord ABERDEEN, in reply, said
he was ready to admit that the system had not succeeded
to the extent which it was supposed it would • but he con-
sidered the failure owing to the opposition it met with
from the Roman Catholic clergy. He had no objection to
lay the returns before the house.
After a few remarks from Lord EGLINTON, Lord CLA.
RENDON. the Bishop of LIMERICK, the Bishop of LON•
D)N, and the Bishop of NORWICH, the returns moved for
were ordered to be laid on the table.
