HOUSE OF COMMONS...—TUESDAX.
A new writ was moved for by Mr. E. J. STANLEY, in the
room of Sir R. Ferguson, deceased.
Mr.,HUME asked the Secretary at War if the statements
which had appeared in the public journals were correct, re-
specting the flogging of a soldier of the 11th hussars, on Sun-
day, the 11th instant.

Mr. MACAULAY said the facts were not precisely as stated
in the public papers, for the punishment was inflicted after
Divine service, and after the other regiment had been dis-
missed to its quarters. The right hon. gentleman contended
that no blame, on the score of want of humanity, could be
attributed to Lord Cardigan, for the sentence bad been ap •
proved of by the Horse Guards. It was, however, impossible
to countenance the infliction 'of such a punishment on the
Sabbath-day. There were, certainly, precedents for such a
proceeding, but it was the general opinion in military circles
that they could only be justified by the most extreme exi-
gency. Such notice, however, had been taken, and such
notice would be taken of the matter, as would be certain to
prevent a recurrence of siMilar cases.
Mr. EWART moved an address to her Majesty, with a view
to procure for the public free admission to the enclosed por-
tions of the Regent's Park. The hon. member adverted to
the increasing population in the surrounding neighbourhood.
where villages had grown into large towns, and dwelt upon
the immense public benefit which would be derived, as well in
a moral as in a physical point of view, by throwing open the
enclosures.

Mr. E. J. STANLEY said that a portion of the park had
been let to the Zoological, the Horticultural, and other so-
cieties ' • but there were other portions of it let to tenants,
who had been guaranteed against any interference of this de-
scription. It was, however, the intention of the noble lord
at the head of the Woods and Forests to throw open a very
large portion of the park to the public in a short time.
Mr. HUME suggested the necessity of having a park formed
for the accommodation of the east and north-east end of the
metropolis, where the population and building were so fast
increasing, that it must become unhealthy if some ground
were not purchased to be kept free for the purposes of a park.

Lord TEIGNMOUTH observed, that out of the 286 acres
from which the public were excluded, there were about 200
acres to which he could see no valid reason against their ad-
mission.

Sir R. INGLIS supported the suggestion of Mr. Hume as
to the necessity for a park for the east end of the metropolis.
Mr. WA KLEY said that the Regent's Park belonged to
the public, and they ought to have admission to that which
was their own, before proposing to give them new ones. He
quite agreed in the necessity of having a park in the east
end.

Mr. ENVART eventually withdrew his motion, in conse-
quence.of the intimation from Mr. E. J. Stanley as to
the woods and forests,.

On the proposal ftir reading the Arms (Ireland) Bill a

seconc

Mr. flumz said he thought it was high time to discontinue
bills of this description. By the returns they had already
on the table, be believed that crime was much less in Ireland
than in Great Britain, and he also thought that by further
returns, which he would shortly move for, the difference
would be yet greater in favour of Ireland. . .

Lord IVioaiETH admitted that there was less crime in
Ireland than in England, but still he said there were crimes
of such a character in that country as deterred him from
recommending that the bill should not be renewed for a
short time.

Colonel SIBTHORP complained of the non-production of
the civil contingencies, and gave notice that he should object,
when they were brought forward, to any further grant to
Dr. Bowring.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY.
At four o'clock 40 members had not assembled, and Mr
SPEAKER adjourned the house till Thursday.

COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE

NEW SOUTH WALES

The Hobart-town papers received to-day are to the 6th of
December, and alluding to the agricultural prospects of the
colony state, that the October frosts had damaged the early
crops of vegetables ; the grain crops would, however, greatly
exceed those of ordinary years, both in quality and quan-
tity. In consequence of the late great demand for wheat, a
large extent of land had been sown this season, which ought
not to have been sown, being worn out and fit only for fal-
low ; on this the crop would be very miserable, and much
would, it is said, not be worth reaping at the high prices of
labour and the low price of grain. The farmers were still
much cast down by the great depression in the prices of
grain, and many of them were already making preparations
for preserving their next crops in the stacks until the market
was relieved from the present glut. The wool season had
commenced, and a large quantity had been brought to mar-
ket, but buyers offered such low prices, that many of the
farmers who did not require advances were shipping it on
their Own account. It was noticed as remarkable, that, not-
withstanding the low price of wool, the premium for bills on
England continued 5 per cent. The highest price offered for
wool, remarkably clean and long in the staple, was 16d.
Wheat ranged from ss. to 6s. per bushel, according to
quality.
