HOUSE OP LORDS. -FRI DAY.

Lord BROUGlinivs EZ111:1
t r the consideration of
their lordships the state of t e la „—,
judiciously, in a speech of great length, in the course of
which he referred to his exposition of the subject some
twenty years ago. At that time a commission was formed
with a view to its improvement ; and the noble and learned
lord now stated all that had been done since that period,
and much that still remained to be effected in order to cure
the extraordinary anomalies hilts operation. The nobleand
learned lord concluded by laying on the table a bill to
amend and consolidate the criminal law of England so far
as related to indictable offences and the punishment
thereof.
The bill was read a first time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY.

Mr. HUME stated the nature of the motion which he in-
tended to make on the 23d of the present month. It
would be to the effect that the present House of Com-
mons did not fairly represent the property and industry of
the country, and that it was necessary to enlarge the fran-
chise to the extent of household suffrage, to adopt the sys-
tem of vote by ballot, and to limit the duration of parlia-
ment to three years.
Mr. Woon moved for a select committee to inquire into
the allegations contained in the petition of certain electors
and inhabitants of the borough of Stamford, which was
presented upon the 14th day of March last, complaining of
the interference of the Marquis of Exeter, a peer of the
realm, and lord lieutenant of the county of Northampton,
at the late and former elections of members to serve for the
said borough.
Mr. T. D'EYNCOURT seconded the motion.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had so much doubt in coming
to a decision on this subject. that he would not seek to
influence the vote of any hon. gentleman who might have
formed a different judgment on the matter. He thought
it would be well to have some further inquiry, in order to
set the public mind at rest, if the allegations could be dis-
proved. Under all the circumstances he would support
the appointment of a select committee.
Sir It. PEEL said the petitioners had put forward direct
allegations of bribery and intimidation, and the proper
tribunal to have gone before would have been an election
committee, where the facts could have been thoroughly
sifted. Not having done this, they had no right now to
come to Par liament and ask it to appoint a new tribunal
to investigate the matter. Under these considerations he
should vote against the appointment of the committee.
The House then divided, and the motion was carried
by a majority of 178 to 177.
The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud cheering from both sides of the house.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HIGGINSON V. SHAND.—An appeal in this case came
before the Lord Chancellor last week. It was against a
judgment of the Vice-Chancellor, who had refused to
dissolve an injunction that had been obtained ex parte by
the plaintiff, restraining the defendants, the Royal Bank
of Liverpool, from proceeding against him to recover the
sum of nearly £lOO,OOO. The plaintiffs were the late firm
of Barton, Irlam and Higginson, and the transaction out
of which the action arose, was of a complicated cha-
racter. The Lord. Chancellor allowed the filing of a sup-
plemental bill.
NECESSARIES FOR AN OXFORD STUDENT.—In the
Bail Court on Saturday, an Oxford tradesman brought an
action against an undegraduate to recover £2 14s. for a
veal pie, a fowl, dessert, cakes, and ice. It was conten-
ded that these articles were necessaries, because a gentle-
man might be too late for dinner at his hall, and would
have to send to a tavern for his dinner. Mr. Justice
Coleridge thought the veal pie might be for breakfast
instead of dinner. Of course, if a gentleman was out all
day he might be too late for dinner, but still he might
obtain what he wanted from the butlery ; and the same
with regard to having friends to dine. Cake, dessert, and
moulds of ice, prima facie, were not necessaries. The
plaintiff was therefore nonsuited.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 13.

Continued fine hot weather restricts sales of Wheat and Flour
to the requirements of present wants ; but the contrary effect
is produced as regards almost every other article. The trade
has been steady during the week, with a good demand for Oats,
Beans, and Indian Corn. At our market this morning Wheat
and Flour meet stow sale, at about former rates. All other ar-
ticles in moderate request, at prices fully equal to, and in some
cases rather exceeding, the quotations of our last.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
MAY 13. _

---
The weather continues remarkably fine, and the crops pre-
sent a very promising appearance, but a little rain seems de-
sirable. From the coast we have very light supplies, and the
arrivals from abroad embrace nearly all that we may expect
from Germany till the raising of the Danish blockade. To-day,
there was only a small show of Farmers' Wheat, which sold
briskly at 2s. per quarter advance. Of south country samples
there were scarcely any in the market. In foreign Wheats
there were but few dealings. Holders demand for good Ros-
tock 535. per quarter, Wahren 525. and Upland, 50s. per quarter,
60 lbs. per bushel, which are not yet obtainable. For good
malting Barley, there was still some demand at extreme rates,
but the season must be considered almost ended. Oats were a
shade dearer. In other articles no change. Wheat, Northum-
berland, red, 465. to 525. per quarter ; Ditto, white, 465. to 535.
quarter. Flour, Norfolk Households, per sack, 345. to 365.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNDAY.

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that in the clause of the Public
Health Bill, which constituted the superintending board, the
Govet nment intended to introduce an important alteration.
Instead of a paid commission, he proposed that the Chief
Commissioner of Woods and Forests should be the Pre-
sident of the Board, and that there should be only two
others, and those unpaid commissioners.
Mr. SPOONER admitted that this was a great improve-
ment in the bill, but regretted that Lord John Russell had
left the obnoxious centralization principle in full force ;
and to that principle he had the most decided objection.
The Board of Health would still retain its control over the
rights-of towns ; and he protested against the interference
of Government in the local administration of our corpo-
rate and municipal 'boroughs.
Mr. SLANEY said that drainage could never be effectual
until there was a good supply of water; and in many of
the large towns such a supply of water was absolutely de-
nied to the poor at present. This bill would give them
that supply of water., and was, therefore, deserving of sup-
port. He was convinced that if the llouse consented to
go into committee, it would be able to render this bill an
efficient instrument for improving the condition of hun-
dreds of thou: ands of our fellow-men.

Mr. C. PEARSON objected to this bill, because it placed
the time-honoured institutions of this country, like
ricketty children, in the go-cart of 'Government superin-
tendence. It was an extraordinary circumstance that
Scotland, Ireland, fhe metropolitan 'boroughs, and the
city of London, were exempt from its-regulations; and he
suspected that they were exempted now to be sacrificed
hereafter, when isolated.

Lord ASHLEY gave Government credit for the boldness
with which it Itzti faced the difficulties of their case ; but
he also told Ministers that their measure was susceptible
of improvement.
After some further discussion, in which several hon.
members took part, the {douse then went into committee,
and the rest of the evening was spent in discussing the
clauses of the bill.

FRANCE.

The National Assembly met on Wednesday at eleven,
and commenced the ballot for the members of the Exe-
cutive Committee. The voting concluded at five, and the
following were the votes recorded for the successful can-
didates :—Arago, 725 ; Garnier Pages, 715 ; Marie, 702 ;
Lamartine, 683 ; Ledru Rollin, 458. These five are the
Government, with power to appoint the members of the
Ministry.
On Thursday the French ministry was declared as fol-
lows :—Foreign Affairs, Bastide; War, Charras ; Finance,
Duclerc ; Justice, Cremieux ; Instruction, Carnet; Com-
merce, Flocon ; Religion, Bethmont ; Public Works, Tre-
lat ; Marine, Casey; Interior, Recurt. The proceedings
of the National Assembly were of a desultory and trifling
character.
An order has reached Boulogne from Paris to put the
whole line of coast in a state of defence, and to mount
guns on the detached forts, which are built a little way
out at sea. The gates of th upper town are also to be re-
paired and fortified, This looks like a preparatioa for war.

ITALY.

DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST AUSTRIA BY THE POPE.

Letters from Civita Vecchia, dated the 2nd instant, an-
nounced that the Pope had confided to his modified ad-
ministration the power of making war if they thought
right, and that ministers had accordingly decided upon
making war against Austria. The conditions conceded by
the Pope are—l. No priest to be called into public em-
ployment; 2. Formal declaration of war ; 3. Pius IX. to
he the head of the government 4. Official bulletin to be
published daily of the war ; 5. 'Encouragement to young
men that they arm themselves. and assist in driving from
Italy the Austrians. Some arrests have taken place,
among the rest is that of the commandant of the fort of
Ancona. The Roman people are perfectly united. The
cardinals, seeing that their escape is impossible, are
gathering around the Pope ; it is reported that everything
is prepared for the Pope's departure. The ministry have
determined to push the war most actively, and will co-
operate with all the forces of the state to drive out the
Austrians. The ambassador from the latter power is to
be compelled to return home.

TO CORII.ESPONDENTS.

The space required for advertisements has prevented the in-
sertion of many articles which would otherwise have
appeared.
We are not able to give all the information required by " A
Tradesman in Birkenhead." The opponents of the new
Dock- iJdls are, we believe, the Liverpool Dock Trustees,
who object to the prop sed powers of rating, the bond-holders
of the Birkenhead Docks, and owners of property there who
appear to prefer an equitable amalgamation with the Liver-
pool Dock Estate, the owners of Coasting vessels. and the
Cheshire Junction Railway Company, who oppose the rating
powers as being inconsistent with the first act of 1844, on the
faith of which the railway company executed works of an
expensive character. There seems to be now some doubt of
the bills passing.
We have no room for any further correspondence between Mr.
Fowler and Mrs. Ideury. There is no prosoect of convincing
a lady who "My sentiments are those of every human
being who has common sense." and who has no further
regard for accuracy of judgment than to hazard the assertion
that "The Republic of the United States is the one Indy stable
government existing at this moment in the world." A cor-
respondent expresses his surprise why i" Mrs. Manry be of
a stable opinion she does not fix her permanent abode. in
that " one only stable government."

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY.

After the presentation of petitions on the subjects before
or likely soon to be brought under the consideration of
Parliament, the bill for the improvement of pauper luna-
tics in Scotland •vas read a second time, with the under-
standing that it should be referred to a select committee.
Sir G. GREY Bat moved the third reading of the Alien
Bill.

Mr. MOWATT moved an amendment—that it be read a
third time that day six months.
The motion was supported by Sir G. Grey, Mr. Bro-
therton, and Lord J. Russell; the amendment by Mr.
Hume, Lord D. Stuart, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Ewart, Mr.
Cobden, and Mr. Bright.
On a division, the original motion was carried by 146 to
29—mrsjority 117. The bill was then read a third time and
passed.
The house then went into committee on the Health of
Towns Bill, when Lord Morpeth stated that the Govern-
ment would consent to make some alterations in the mea-
sure, as suggested by Mr. Henley, after which an irregu-
lar discussion was kept up for some time, but no progress
of any moment was made with the bill.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY P.

Continued fine hot weather restricts sales of Wheat and Flour
to the requirements of present wants; but the contrary effect
is produced as regards almost every other article. The trade
has been steady during the week, with a good demand for Oats,
Beans, and Indian Corn. At our market this morning Wheat
and Flour meet slow sale, at about former rates. All other ar-
ticles in moderate request, at prices fully equal to, and in some
cases rather exceeding, the quotations of our last.
