FOREIGN AND COLONIAL,

AMERlCA.—Adviees from Washington to the '4th, and
from Boston to the 7th ultimo, have been received by the
packet-ship Mary Ann, Captain Brown. This fine line of
vessels is rapidly rising in note, and well deserves success.
The political accounts thus received are unimportant. The
question of notice in the Senate had not been voted upon.
That assembly had been addressed by Messrs. Ashley and
M`Duffie, and with the progress of time the interests of
peace were consolidating. The commercial accounts from
New York are of no moment.
SPAIN.—The Phare of Bayonne of the 26th informs us
that the whole of the provinces under the Captain-Gene-
ral of Burgos have been declared in a state of siege. It is
evident from this that the spirit of insurrection is extend-
ing itelf. Lugo, Vigo, Tuy, and Pontevedra still hold
out, and Juntas had been formed, the presidents of which
are said to be Esparteris:s. Very great dissatisfaction
prevailed at Madrid at the date of the last accounts, in
consequence of the delay in convoking the Cortez.
PORTUGAL.—INSURRECTION ART MOVEMENT.—The
Madrid steam-ship arrived at Southampton on Monday
night, with 143 passengers on board. She brings impor-
tant intelligence from Portugal. A general rising of the
people had taken place in the northern provinces, com-
mencing at Minho, unaided by the military. The cause
of the outbreak was the excessive local taxation, which, it
appears, is so exorbitant, that it is irnposs;ble it can be
borne. The Minister of Justice had arrived in Oporto,
and had taken command of the whole of the disturbed
provinces. The habeas corpus had been suspended.
Troops had been sent from Oporto to quell the distur-
bances, and collisions had taken place between them and
the people, and consequently much blood had been shed ;
but the movement had by no means been put down. The
Minister of Justice arrived on the 22d, the day before the
Madrid sailed. The feeling throughout the country was
unanimous, and little doubt existed that the insurrecti-
onary movement would not be easily put down.
No fewer than 68 persons died in New Orleans from
sunstroke during the past summer.
By letters from Paris, it appears to be the general im-
pression that Lecomte is insane. He has several times at-
tempted to commit suicide.
The French Governor of Senegal (Capt. 011ivier) com-
mitted suicide on the 25th March, by cutting his throat in
a fit of delirium.
An edict has been posted on the walls of Rome, de-
nouncing the modern innovation of gas light, and order-
ing that all private gas works should be suppressed.
A petition was recently presented, in the Ohio legisla-
ture, from John Noel, praying that George Robebaugh
be divorced from his wife, and that she be given to peti-
tioner, in pursuance of a previous contract of marriage.
GERMAN ROMANISTS.—The dissident Romanists of
Baden have, by a ministerial order, been permitted to ce-

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY
Sir R. PEEL brought down messages from her Majesty,
recommending to her faithful Commons to make provisi-
on for Lord Hardinge and Lord Gough, whose public
services her Majesty was desirous of rewarding. The
Right Hon. Baronet gave notice that he would on Mon-
day next move that her Majesty's most gracious message
be taken into ronsidnation.
The case of Mr. W. Smith O'Brien was then brought
-under consideration. The hon gentleman refused to serve
on the committee of a private bill unconnected with Ire-
land ; alleging that, as he claimed for Ireland the power
of legislating for herself, he as an Irish member did not
conceive himself entitled to serve upon bills relating ex-
clusively to England or Scotland, though quite willing to
serve on those relating to Ireland.
Mr. ESTCOURT moved that the hon. gentleman was
guilty of a contempt of the house ; and after a long dis-
cussion the motion was carried by 133 to 13.
Mr. ESTCOURT then moved that Mr. Smith O'Brien
be committed to the custody of the serjeant at arms.—
Another discussion ensued, and the debate was adjourned
until Thursday.
Mr. P. SCROPE obtained leave to bring in a bill for
promoting the reclamation of waste lands in Ireland.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY.
On the motion cf Mr. ESTCOURT it was resolved that
all committees have leave to sit during the sittings of the
house.
Sir R. INGLis presented a petition from the clergymen
and other inhabitants of Bedford, praying the house to
take measures to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors
on the Lord's-day.
Mr. CoLQUIIOUN presented a petition from the persons
professing the Roman Catholic faith in the north of Eng-
land, praying the house to protect them against the domi-
neering spirit of the Vicar Apostolic of the Pope.
On the order of the day for the second reading of the
Factory Bill, Mr. Hume said he hoped some day might be
named for the discussion of the measure after the Minis-
terial business was disposed of. (The mention of so re-
mote a period excited general laughter.)
Mr. FIELDEN at length was enabled to proceed, and
moved the second reading of the Factories' Bill, limiting
the labour of young persons between the ages of thirteen
and eighteen to ten hours a-day.
Mr. AINSWORTH seconded the motion, although he re-
commended a compromise of eleven hours.
Sir I. GRAHAM said it had been his duty to reconsider
attentively the opinions which he had formerly entertained
and avowed on this question, and after the most careful
and sattious deliberation, he felt bound to declare that his
cipinialas remained unchanged on this subject, and that,
therefore, it would be his duty to join the hon. member
for MontroLe, and to vote against the second reading of
the bill. The Home Secretary obj-cted to the discussion
of this measure by the present parliament so soon after
the House had delibuutd on, and rejected the principle
a ten hours' limitation,--for lie denied that the house

Lord BROUGHAM stated, on the faith of a letter from
a sharebroktT at Liverpool, that railway speculation had
revived with all its former fury.
The bill was then read a third time, and passed.
The Mullingar and Galway Railway Bill, and the Rail-
way Deposits Bill, were also read a third time.
In reply to an inquiry from the Bishop of Exeter, as to
when the house would go into committee on the Religious
Opinions' Relief Bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR, who seemed to consider the
question premature, said the amendments were of a new
and difficult characteimand required grave consideration.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE moved that the house should
go into committee on the Railways Companies Dissolution
Bill.
The Earl of RADNOR said that a great deal of gambling
had been going on during the last few days in railways,
some of which had risen from 50 per cent. discount to 50
per cent. premium. He thought that if 51 out of 100
shareholders in a company were desirous of dissolving it,
the minority of 49 would suffer great hardship on being
deprived of all benefit from plans, surveys, and other ex-
pensive operations, which had been paid for out of their
contributions. He was of opinion there should be some
provision for such contingencies. His lordship suggested
that it might still be left to the minority to carry on a
company on releasing from liability those who were op-
posed to its continuance.
The house, after a little discussion, went into commit-
tee, and several trifling amendments were made.

On Saturday night four persons were drowned at Wa-
terford by the upsetting of a boat.,
A few days ago, Mr- Brew, agent for Colonel Vande-
leur, of Kilrush, was fired at by ar person in female attire,

threatening to shoot any one who followed him.
EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.—It is calculated that
30,000 persons will have emigrated from Ireland in the
present year. Many of them are known to have consi-
derable sums of money.; but, at only £2O a-head, they
will withdraw from the small capital of this impoverished
country no less than £6oo,ooo.—Dublin Register.
There was a dull meeting at Conciliation Hall, on Mon-
day, Mr. Steele in the chair. A letter was read from Mr.
Smith O'Brien, on the relation betty, en the repealers and
the several political parties of England, by no means
complimentary to the latter. There was a fearful falling
off in the week's " rent," which only amounted to £7B.
Lord Cloncurry has received a letter from Mr. Peel,
dated Calcutta, March 7, intimating that an additional
sum of £2,000 has been transmitted to the Bank of Ire-
land, for the relief of the distressed Irish, from the Ben-
gal Presidency, with an intimation that more money may
be expected from the same benevolent source.
SPLENDID BEQUEST,.—The lite John Scott, Esq., of
Broad-street, London, has bequeathed the sum of £27,000
to each of three Societies,—the Church Missionary So-
ciety, the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, and the Bible
Society ;—and £9,000 each to the City Mission, the Lon-
don Missionary Society, and the Clerical Education-Aid

Fund.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.-011 Saturday week, Corpo-
ral Kenneth Brodie, of the 73rd regiment, stationed at
Cork, shot himself with his musket in his room, while
under confinement on a charge of intoxication. The de-
ceased had his boots on and was apparently cleaning his
musket, when he took off his right boot, and having placed
the muzzle of the gun to his mouth pulled the trigger with
his toe, and litterally blew the roof of his skull off, scat-
tering the brains about in all directions.
The Commissioners of Public Works, in Ireland, acting
under the Drainage Act of the present session, have issued
a notification that they are ready to receive loans for the
execution of drainage and other works. The amount re-
quired for the present year will, probably, be £200,000.
The sum at present required for the works in Louth,
Meath, Monaghan, Cavan, Tipperary, and other counties,
is £92,000. The maximum rate of interest is five per cent.
The security is a first charge on the lands to be drained
or improved.
OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.—According to a parliamen-
tary return, the number of outrages specially reported to
the constabulary-office, Dublin Castle, in 1842, was 6,535;
in 1843, 5,8;5 ; in 1844, 6,327; and in 1845, 8,095. By
returns from the Chief Secretary's office, it appears that
the number of persons committed for trial in Ireland, in
the year 1844, was 19,448, and in 1845, 16,696. Among
the outrages reported to the constabulary-office, threaten-
ing notices or letters form a prominent feature. They
numbered last year 1,944, and in the preceding year, 862.
Of homicides, there were 106 in 1842, 122 in 1843, 146 in
1844, and 139 in 1845. Outrages in attacking houses
numbered last year 483, and incendiary fires, 478. Of the
number of persons committed for trial in the second re-
turn, it is stated that in 1844 out of the 19,448 there were
8,042 convicted, 10 found to be insane on arraignment,
and 13 acquitted as being insane, and 11,406 acquitted ant;

FASHIONS FOR MAY.
(From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.")
Foulards in various styles; bareges in both large rid
small checks ; chine'royal in stripes on either dark or light
grounds; poulls de soie, taffetas, and pekins, with foul-
ards in narrow satin stripes of gray cerise lilac, green
nankin, &c., with plain popelines and poils de chevre,
compose the materials for spring toilettes. Dark colours
will be confined to morning wear ; whilst pink, blue, and
lilac glaci are worn for the promenade ; the corsages re-
main tight and high with jackets; but bareges, muslins,
&c., will be with full bodies on bands and ceintures ; the
sleeve half-long or quite abort, with gloves of piaci kid.
Ribbon flounces on silk dresses are very fashionable, as
also fringe, which is made very deep and full, matching
the dress ; piaci, ombr6, &c., rows are placed on the bot-
tom of the dress, or en tablier, with a new style of tassel;
flounces will be worn, particularly on thin dresses, on
which several are placed. Visitee are still the fashionable
style in pardessus ; they are made of glace silks in light
colours ; some are rather short behind, but trimmed with
lace half-a-yard deep ; but the usual trimmings of visiles
are of giinp, or biais laid one on the other.
Open fancy straws are very much worn, as well as the
chapeau guipure; the new form is very pretty, particu-
larly with the wreaths of exotic plants. Copotes of crape
and tulle bonillonnd are lined with fringed ribbens, and
ornamented with flowers ; white crape bonnets are trim-
med with point lace, and wreaths of spring flowers.
Pailles de riz will be very fashionable; their forms are a
little open, but the ornaments inside are full—flowers

IMPORTANT TO MEDICAL CORONERS.—At the Wigan
Borough Sessions, last week, before Mr. Seear, Recor-
der, upon the coroner's bill being presented, Mr. William
Ackerley objected to the costs of an inquisition held on the
body of William Kenyon, when it was proved that the co-
roner, who is a surgeon, had been attending the deceased
previous to his death. The Recorder deemed it a case
that did not require an inquisition, and disallowed the
claim.
REPUDIATION IN THE IRON TRADE.—BAILEY AND
OTHERS V. DICKER.—At the Court of Exchequer, on
Thursday, the above action was brought to recover da-
mages for a breach of contract. The plaintiffs in the
case were Messrs Bailey, Brothers, and Co., of this town,

the defendant, who was fearful that the prices would fall,
had sold, through the agency of Mr. Short. a retired
ironbroker. to the plaintiffs, 2,000 tons of Scotch pig-
iron, at 675. 6d. per ton. Prices, however, suddenly
rose to 80s., and the defendant repudiated the contract.
Thejury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—dama;es,
