THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, a PICTO-

Sportine, Intelligence ; Science ; and a complete liecord
of all the Events of the Week, at Home, Abroad, or in
the Colonies; the whole Illustrated in a high style of art
by engravers of the first eminence, printed in a form con-
venient for binding, and comprising 16 PAGES, and 48
COLUMNS OF LETTER-PRESS, in a typography
consistent with the beauty and neatness of the engraved
embellishments.

The proprietors of THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS
have no longer to usher before the world a mere prospec-
tus of its purpose and design. The project which they at
first conceived in a spirit of sanguine ambition, has, within
a short period, been crowned with the most gratifying and
unprecedented success ;—with the rapidity of tropical ve-
getation, their seed has grown to fruit, and THE ILLUS-
TRATED LONDON NEWS is now the only FAMILY
NEWSPAPER, properly so characterized, which, ex-
ceeding all its contemporaries in the amount of public
patronage allotted to it, can claim a
CIRCULATION OF 50,000 COPIES,
and proudly takes rank as the first of all the weekly
journals of the empire.
This fact is a source of mingled gratitude and pride ;
of pride, because no expedients of imposition—no mean
subterfuges have been resorted to, but a stand has been
made upon the simple merits of a system which its pro-
prietors have only now to study to improve into as much
perfection as a newspaper can attain. To THE ILLUS-
TRATED LONDON NEWS, the community are indebted for
the first combination of all the varieties of public intelli-
gence, with the fertile and exhaustless resources of the
fine arts—the developement of a new and beautiful means
of extending and confirming the interest of society over
all the topics within the circle of its life and action—the
giving brighter presence and more vivid and palpable
character and reality to every salient point and feature in
the great panorama of public life.
And in the cementing of this new and happy union, the
Editor of this Pictorial Newspaper has sought no adven-
titious aids to attain his purpose of success. He has not
pandered to the prejudices of the high, nor the passions of
the lower orders of society—he has avowed the counte-
nance of no party in the state or among the people, but
taking the high ground of neutrality, has contented him-
self with the advocacy of justice, morality, and truth—to
raise the standard of public virtue—to palliate the dis-
tresses of the poor—to aid the benevolence of the rich—
to give a healthy moral tone to the working of our social
system—to uphold the great principles of humanity—to
promote science—encourage bell's lettres and beaux arts—
foster genius and help the oppressed—in a word, to enlist
all the nobler influences which impel the progress of civi-
lization and tend to dignify the character alike of nations
as of men. This should be the enlarged purpose of the
honest public journalist, and to take its humble part in
the promotion of such purpose is the cherished and avowed
ambition of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
To achieve this, the proprietors have not scrupled to
enlist the first available talent, both in literature and art,
and the consequence has been a declaration of public
opinion in their favour, and the recorded encouragement
and welcome of the whole provincial press.
When this beautiful work is considered in all its details
—the talent and skill of the artists—the elaborate execu-
tion of the engraver, notwithstanding the rapidity with
which many of the engravings have been done—the varied
talent displayed in the editorial department—the beauty
of its printing, the quality of its paper, and various other
items which could be enumerated, it must be acknow-
ledged, that even in these days of cheap literature, it .

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY

Lord BROUGHAM withdrew his motion for calling Mr.
13rowne, of the Kendal Gazelle, to the bar of the house,
having, be said, received a letter of apology from that

gentleman

The Scientific Societies Bill was read a third time and
passed, and their lordships adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.

The Fines and Penalties Bill was read a third time and
and passed ; the Customs Bill was read a second time ; as
were also the Slave Trade Treatise Bill, the Bills of Ex-
change Bill, the Episcopal Functions Bill, and some

others.
The house then went into committee on the Irish Arms
Bill, and a discussion arose as tar the length of time the
bill should continue in force, it being contended by Mr.
ROSS, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, and other hon. members
that it should only last for one year, the Government pro-
position being for five years ; it was at length suggested
by Lord ELIOT that the period should be three years.
Two divisions took place, but eventually, after some re-
marks from Sir R. ['Est., it was agreed that it should be
for two years, and to the end of the following session,
which in effect will make the period three years.
The remaining clauses, together with the postponed
clauses having been agreed to, the house resumed.
On the bringing up the report of the committee on the
excise duties which recommended a reduction of the addi-
tional Is. per gallon duty, laid on Irish spirits when the
income tax was levied on this country.

Sir R. FERGUSON moved that the resolution should be
recommitted on the ground that the reduction should be
greater than the Government proposed to make it, or
orherwise it would not have the effect of puttiug a stop to
illicit distillation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
amendment on the ground that a greater reduction would
neither be conducive to the welfare of Ireland, nor to the
increase of the revenue.

Mr. F. BARING said he was of opinion that the duty on
spirits should be kept as high as it could be maintened
without giving encouragement to smuggling, and keeping
this principle in view he thought the reduction proposed
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer quite sufficient.
After a few words from Sir R. FERGUSON in reply, the
amendment was negatived without a division. and the re-
port was agreed to.
Leave was then given to bring in a bill founded upon
the resolution.

On the motion that the Admiralty Lands Bill be com-
mitted. . .

Mr. Hums moved that it be committed that day six
months.

_________
The house then divided, and the amendment of Mr.
Hume was negatived by a majority of 59 to 28.
The bill then went through committee, after consider-

able opposition.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY

The Grand Jury Presentment (Ireland) Bill was read a
second time.

The Earl of ABERDEEN laid some papers on the table
relative to slavery.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for certain corre-
spondence on the subject of the apprehension of offenders
in France. _ _

The Earl of ABERDEEN said he was not aware of the
existence of any such correspondence.
The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition respecting
the Irish fisheries; a subject which Lord MONTEAGLE
deemed highly important, and deserving of serious consi-
deration.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said he would take care
that it should be attended to in the proper quarter.
Their lordships soon after adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY

The Stock in Trade Bill, the Slave Trade Treaties Bill,
and the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill, severally went
through committee.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to a question from Mr. La-
bouchere, said he should, if possible, bring on the Ex-
portation of Machinery Bill on Thursday.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER asked Mr. Gladstone when it was
his intention to give an opportunity of a discussion of the
Customs Duties Bill, one clause of which had an import-
ant bearing on British agriculture. In reference to that
clause he wished to ask if it was the intention that the
agricultural produce of the state of Maine, in America,
should be admitted into this country at a colonial duty.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that an opportunity for the dis-
cussion of the bill should be given. With respect to the
second question he must be allowed to give only a limited
answer. The intention of the clause was to give effect to
the third article of the treaty of Washington. Any fur-
ther explanation he would reserve to a future opportunity.
Sir G. CLERK gave notice that in committee of supply,
on Friday, he would move additional supplies for Canada
and China, and also a vote for compensation to those
whose opium had been seized by the Chinese.
In reply to questions from Mr. EWART,
The Earl of LINCOLN said that the committee on the
subject of metropolitan improvement would not close its
sittings till the end of the present session, nor would they
lay any report relative to the embankment of the Thames
on the table during the present session.
Mr. Ht) ME then moved forleave to bring in a bill " for
the establishment of schools to promote a sound education
for the rising generation of the United Kingdom, at the
public expense, without wounding the feelings or injuring
the rights of any sect or clans of the community, but con-
fining the business of the schoolmaster to the secular and
moral training of the children, and leaving all religious
instruction to religious teachers distinct from the school ;
to the end that general instruction and a spirit of chris-
tian brotherhood and good will may be disseminated
amongst all classes and denominations." The honour-
able gentleman said his object was to confine the duties of
the schoolmaster to moral instruction, leaving the reli
gious and scriptural portion of it to the clergy of the sect
to which the child might belong.
Mr. EWART seconded the motion, but while doing so,
the house was counted out.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY

Mr. GIBSON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the government had considered the pro-
priety of extending to persons advancing money on the
security of malt or other exciseable articles the privilege
now enjoyed by bond fide purchasers ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that go-
vernment had not. _ _ _

...
The recond reading of the Export of Machinery Bill
was fixed for Thursday next. _ _ _ _

Mr. BANNERMAN Wished to ask whether the professors
who had joined the Free Church in Scotland had been
removed from their professorships?
Sir J. GRAHAM said that many had voluntarily sur-
rendered their appointments, but the appointments in
different universities were held under different tenures.
In some the parties were not required to hold office, as
in the Greek professorship in Glasgow, which was held
by an Episcopalian.
The Coroners Bill was then re-committed, and some
alteration having been agreed to, the house resumed, and
the report was ordered to be received on Thursday.
Mr. F. MAULE moved for a return of the names of the
different corps of yeomanry cavalry which have been or
are to be established on permanent pay under the esti-
mate of the present year.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had not the slightest objection
to the production of the papers moved for, but at the same
time he must bear testimony to the good conduct and gal-
lant and loyal behaviour of those corps-when called upon
during the late disturbances.
After some further conversation, the return was or-
dered, and the house adjourned.

-4,-.
HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a bill for extending
to Scotland and Ireland the power of the Lord High
Chancellor to grant commissions to enable persons to
take and receive affidavits, &c.
The Libel and Defamation Bill was read a third time ;
and, on the motion that it do pass,
Lord BROUGHAM, in the absence of Lord Denman,
proposed certain words to render the sixth clause more
stringent in the case of persons threatening to publish
any matter or thing with intent to extort money ; and,
after some discussion, the question was ordered to stand
over till Monday, in order to give Lord Denman and
other noble lords an opportunity of considering it more
fully.
--
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.

The Marriages (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that he would on Friday
take the opportunity of Sir R. Peel's moving the adjourn-
ment of the house to Monday of making some observa-
tions on the present state of public affairs.
On Lord ELIOT'S moving the order of the day for
bringing up the report of the Arms (Ireland) Bill,
Lord CLEMENTS proposed as an amendment the second
reading of the Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill ; but
the motion, not being seconded, fell to the ground.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD then moved as a resolution, "That
the unrestricted power of having, carrying, and using
arms, for all legal purposes, is a right enjoyed by Eng-
lishmen and Scotchmen, and is one of the essential safe-
guards of freedom. That to limit or withhold this privi-
lege as regards Irishmen creates an unjust, impolitic, and
insulting distinction, and is a violation of that equality of
rights which can be the only safe and just basis of impe-
rial legislation. That, therefore, it is the duty of this
house to reject any measure which would impose or con-
tinue such restriction." The hon. gentleman contended
that the Irish people were not fairly represented in that
house, and therefore it was that they held that they were
entitled to repudiate all enactments passed by a legislature
constituted as the House of Commons is.
Lord ELIOT said that, as the house had affirmed the
principle of the bill, it was not requisite to open the ques-
tion again.
The house divided—For the resolution, 44 ; against it,
99 ; majority 45.
Lord J. RUSSELL thought the best course for the Go-
vernment would be to continue the present act in
force for one year, and not to introduce the new bill. He
opposed the provision in the new measure which gave the
power to magistrates, and constables acting on their war-
rants, to enter any person's house either by day or by night.
A noble lord (Lord Joceyln) and other members, when
discussing the branding clauses, had expressed a wish
that, if it were necessary to pass laws to preserve the
public peace, those laws should be enforced upon them-
selves as well as the poorest person ; but these clauses
were not likely to be enforced against the rich. Why not

confine the operation of these stringent clauses, by which
houses might be broke open at any hour, to places only
where the public peace absolutely required such a stretch
of power ? Ile would remind hon. members that when
that country was in a distracted state in 1819, the legisla-
ture had enacted a power to enter houses to search for
arms, but they confined it to those districts and counties
which were proclaimed, giving to his Majesty in council
the power of extending it to any other districts that might
seem fitting. Now in adapting a similar law to Ireland,
he did not see why a power should not be vested in the
Lord Lieutenant and council to proclaim certain districts
as being in a disturbed state, and then to apply the provi-
sions of the act to those districts. The noble lord con-
cluded by asking leave to introduce a clause to prevent the
entry of houses, &c., unless representations should have
been previously made on oath to the justices at quarter
sessions, and that application should have been made by
them to the Lord Lieutenant, by whom the county or
district should have been proclaimed according to the pro-
visions of the act. _ _

Lord ELIOT complained of the inconsistency of the
noble lord in proposing by his clause to renew the provi-
sions of a law under which a right of search of a much
more stringent character existed. It appeared to him that
it was impossible for the Lord Lieutenant to proclaim a
county as being in a disturbed state, unless the presence
of an armed body of men was ascertained ; because merely
agrarian disturbances and outrages would not form a suf-
ficient ground for such a step. The noble lord had refer-
red to the bill of 1819, which had been enacted in that
country ; but it had been introduced under entirely differ-
ent circumstances. On that occasion there were large
bodies of armed men acting in open resistance to the law,
which was, he was happy to say, not the case at present in
Ireland. He beleived the right of search would give the
loyal and peaceable inhabitants a feeling of security they
would not otherwise possess ; and on these grounds he
must oppose the clause.
After some disscussion the clause was rejected by a ma-
jority of 44.
The remaining clauses of the bill were disposed of, after
some debate and two or three divisions. and the bill was
ordered to be read a third time on Friday.

The Poor Law Amendment (Ireland) bill went through
committee.
