HOUSE OF LORDS.—THurtsDAY

The Bishop of OXFORD wished to ask the noble lord
on the woolsack, whf;ther it was his intention to intro-
duce any bill for the regulation of charitable trusts ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied in the affirmative, stat-
ing that it was his intention to introduce a bill shortly
after the holidays. _

On the motion that the Crown and Government Secu-
rity Bill be read a third time,
Lord BROUGHAM said that he had no objection to the
reduction of treason to a minor offence, but he could not
allow that opportunity to pass without stating his convic-
tion that the offence of high treason was just as much
deserving of capital punishment as the crime of murder,
for offenders of that class often brought about civil war
which invariably led to great loss c,f life. The offence,
therefore, of high treason was often productive of great
loss of life, and it ought to be held in as much abhorrence
as that of murder or any other repulsive crime.
Lord CAMPBELL perfectly agreed with the opinion of
his noble and learned friend, and could assure the house
that no offence was fraught with so much danger both to
life and property as that of high treason. (Hear, hear.)
The Bishop of OXFORD said he was sure that the noble
and learned lord opposite (Brougham) did not wish it to
go forth to the world that he was anxious that capital pu-
nishments ought always to be applied to treasonable of-
fenders. It appeared to him that the opinion the noble
lord wished to convey to their lordships was, that the
Crown ought not to be deprived of the power of inflicting
capital punishment upon parties convicted of high trea-
son. (Hear, hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM said he was much obliged to the right
rev. prelate for giving him an opportunity of explaining
his meaning. He never meant to convey to their lordships
that he was favourable to inflicting capital punishment
upon all treasonable offenders, but simply that it was in-
judicious to take the power of inflicting that punishment
out of the hands of the Crown. It was absurd to say,
upon the authority " Thou shalt not kill," that capital
punishment ought to be abolished, for the same authority
asserted. that " whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall
his blood be shed."

The bill was then read a third time and passed

HOUSE OF LORDS.-SATURDAY

The Royal assent was given by commission to the
Crown and Government Security Bill, as well as to several
other measures. The House on its rising adjourned to
Thursday, the 4th of May.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of
the Crown and Government Security Bill.
Lord STANLEY would not oppose the bill, but wished
that a longer period had been allowed to discuss its pro-
visions.

Lord BROUGHAM was also in favour of the bill.
Before the noble lord sat down he took the opportunity of
warning the public press against reporting seditious

speeches.
Lord CAmrnELL said that he should be ashamed of
being a party to any measure tending to coerce the public
press, nor did he believe that the cause of sedi-
tion had gained any advantage recently by the publica-
tion of inflammatory speeches.
The Duke of WELLINGTON agreed with Lord Stanley
in regretting that more time had not been devoted to the
consideration of the bill, but conceived that it was abso-
lutely necessary, in order to check the rise and spread of
disaffection. Extraordinary times required extraordinary
measures, and the government would be left in a very
awkward position if they were only provided with the
ordinary means of suppressing sedition. lie hoped,
therefore, that the bill would pass unanimously, and in
the shortest space of time, in order that the Govern-
ment might but it in operation immediately.
Lord DENMAN expressed the highest admiration for
the noble duke, but thought him mistaken when he said
that there was a growing contempt for the law ; nothing,
so far as his observation went, could be further from the
real character of the English people.
The Duke of WELLINGTON explained his meaning,
and, after some further discussion, the bill was read a
second time.

DEAFNESS CURED, AND ALL DISEASES OF

THE EAR.
MR. BENNETT, the eminent AURIST, 28, NORTON-
STREET, Islington, Liverpool, has the honour of an-
nouncing his arrival in Liverpool from Lever-street, Manches •
ter, where, during a Six Months' Visit, 160 persons have been
permanently CURED by him of DEAFNESS, many having
been Deaf from Twenty to Forty Years, to whom those simi-
larly afflicted may be referred. For Lists of Cures perfortned
there see Manchester and Birmingham Newspapers ; also'
Reports of Cures performed by him. •
In cases of a recent nature instantaneous relief is afforded,
without the slightest pain or inconvenience, whilst those of a
more inveterate nature a few weeks suffices to perform a com-
plete and radical cure.
Those afflicted are informed that he may be Consulted at his
Residence, 28, Norton-street, Islington, Liverpool, every day,
Sundays included, from Ten till Fire, on all diseases of the Ear.
The infallible success attending his peculiar mode of treatment,
being free from any of those dangerous and experimental ope-
rations usually resorted to, is clearly exemplified by the nu-
merous cures performed by him, not only in Manchester and
Birmingham, above referred to, but in almost every town in
England, France, and America, coupled with the high Testi-
monials, both oral and documentary, from the Faculty, and the
number of persons, still resident in the town,.who have been
cured by him, render any further comment unnecessary.
Mr. Bennett's published Works on Diseases of the Ear and
Deafness are admitted by the London and Provincial Press to
be the best extant.

CELEBRATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
CURE OF FISTULOUS SORES AND PLEURISY.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokes-

ley; elated September 3d, 1847.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.

Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town,
desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been
bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest
benefit by the use of your Pills and Ointment. He is of a scro-
fulous constitution: a pleurisy had left a large collection .of
matter in the chest ; this eventually formed a passage through
the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which
discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try
your Pills and Ointment ; at this date he was apparently in a
(lying condition, the stomach rejected every thing it took.
Your Pills and Ointment had the effect of completel ycuring both
the cough and stomach affections, his strength and flesh are
also restored, his appetite keen, and digestion good. There is
every prospect that a little further continuance of your medi-
cines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBT. CALVERT.
The " Mofussulite" Newspaper, published at Meerut, has, on
the 15th October, 1847, copied an article from the " Benares
Recorder," of which the following is an Extract :
" The Prince Of MAHARAJAH BISSONATH SINOH, who was
temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with
Spasmodic Colic, and during his illness His Highness often
asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much
of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbour-
hood, and Professor Holloway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a
certificate which would have graced Lnd dignified his list of
cures."

The native Princes are now using Holloway's celebrated Pills
and Ointment in preference to every other medicine, they being
so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in India.

LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET, APRIL 20.
There has been a better demand for all descriptions of Sugar
at an advance of 6d. to Is. per cwt., and the sales amounted to
500 hhds. 8.P., 7000 bags Bengal, and 500 bags Mauritius, at
this improvement. In Foreign the business consistsof 180
cases 30 barrels brown Bahia and 2750 bags brown and white
Pernambuco, at some decline from former rates. The trans-
actions in Molasses are confined to a small parcel of Porto
Rico at 18s. to 195., and Demerara at 17s. per cwt.
The trade are still very reluctant to purchase Coffee, and
prices are very irregular ; the sales comprise 60 tierces Jamaica,
at 325. for ordinary to 110 s. for fine middling, and 400 bags Ma-
dras at 30s. per cwt. 100 bags Black Pepper brought 20., and
a small lot of Pimento 3kd. per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa or
Ginger. 120 tierces Carolina Rice sold at 16s. 6d. to 186. 6d.,
3500 bags Bengal at 6s. to Bs. 6d. for low to good broken, 9s.
to 12s. 6d. for ordinary to fine white, and 2800 bags Madras at
at Bs. to Bs. fid. per cwt.
The Rum market continues dull ; the sales are about 120
casks Demerara, 4 to 38 per cent overproof, at Is. 10d. to 3s. 6d.
per gallon, the latter for a choice mark.

- The transactions in Tea have again been limited, and the few
small sales that have been effected are at rather easier rates.

A few serons of Caraccas Indigo have found buyers at pre-
vious rates, but there has been a very trifling inquiry for East
India Drysaltery Articles, and the sales are confined to 10 tons
of Cutch and 40 chests of Shell Lac, without change. 600 bags
of Saltpetre brought 31s. to 325. d., and 500 bags Nitrate of
Soda 12s. 2d. per cwt.
The holders of the inferior descriptions of Guano being
anxious sellers, some parcels have gone at lower rates ; Ichaboe
steady at £7 ss. to .t 7 7s. 6d. per ton for fine.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
APRIL 22.

Since our last, we have had several arrivals of Wheat, Oats,
and Flour. To-day, we had a good show of Farmers' Wheat,
but the millers having bought pretty freely on Tuesday last,
were not anxious to increase their stocks; and to induce pur-
chasers, a reduction of Is. to 2s. per quarter from the currency
of last Saturday had to be submitted to ; notwithstanding
which many samples remained unsold at the close of the mar-
ket. During the week, several sales of Hamburg and Baltic
red Wheats have been made at 48s. to 50s. per quarter, 63 lbs.
per bushel. Holders were firm to-day in asking former prices,
but very little business was done. Barley met less inquiry.
Fine Rye sells in retail at our quotations. In Pease and Beans
nothing done. Oats in large supply—trade dull—prices nomi-
nally as before. Wheat, Northumberland, red, 445. to 50s. ;
ditto, white, 466. to 525. Flour, Norfolk Households, per sack,
355. to 365.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1848-04-25

WISBECH CORN MARKET, APRIL 22.

We continue to have a deal of rain almost every day, and the
farmers speak of their Wheats as generally looking very badly.
Today, the samples of Wheat is small; but the dull accounts
from Mark Lane and Wakefield cause the buyers to operate
with caution, and the trade is slow at about last week's rates.
Beans rather dearer. Oats same as last week. Prices:—
Wheat, new, white, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 48s. to 505.; extra, 525.
per quarter. Wheat, new, red, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 45a. to 475. ;
extra, 50s. per quarter. Oats, 10d. to lOid. per stone. Beans,
new, 65 lbs. to 664 lbs., 335. to 345. per quarter.

REFORM IN TAXATION,

We understand that a deputation from the Select Vestry,
consisting of the senior Rector and Messrs. Ferguson,
Urquhart, and Whitby, had an interview last week with
the special committee appointed by the Council to con-
sider the subject of our local taxation, when the former
gentlemen laid their views before the committee, but as
the conference was merely preliminary, of course we can-
not give any definite information respecting it.
It is evident, from what is taking place on all sides, that
this is becoming the question of the day; and, as another
move in the right direction, we are glad to perceive that
Mr. Parker (who is always active in the promotion of any
useful reform, and whose services are deservedly appre-
ciated not only by his constituents in St. Anne's Ward
but by the town at large) has invited the ratepayers of
that ward to attend a public meeting, on Mone.av next,
for the purpose of adopting " a memorial to the Town
Council to apply for powers to make the corporate and
dock estates contribute their fair proportions to the paro-
chial and other local rates."

No doubt Mr. Parker will be warmly supported in his
present effort, and we anticipate that the meeting on
Monday night will be numerously attended.

For him " the times are out of

which is offered to his acceptance !

Now, what would be the result, so far as regards
the improvement of their temper, of an effort on

restore to the working porters of Liverpool the
system of which we unwisely and unjustly deprived
them ?—for let it be borne in mind that we directly
framed for that body the system of which they
complain, whereas that under which the coal-whip-
pers of the Thames suffered had grown up, in
despite of both the working man and the merchant.

The effect would be two-fold. The old relations
restored between the real owners of the produce
which we import and store up in our warehouses,
and the working porters, such owners would pos-
sess in those men a powerful body, hound to them
alike by interest and gratitilde, and ready at all
times to protect the shipping and the property of
the port from outrage. The authorities, and the
merchants of Liverpool might laugh alike at the
threats of Chartism and Repeal, with those men
ready at a moment's notice to garrison their ware-
houses and to guard our docks. We durst
guarantee that such would be the feelings of the
great mass of the working porters. Restore these
men to their former position as independent la-
bourers ; take away the class of middle men, who
stand so injuriously between the merchant and the
working man; cease to hold out facilities for exact-
ing from the latter by unworthy devices a portion
of wage which he earns ; and you have them at
once ready and anxious to wield a truncheon when-
ever called upon, to repress disturbance of the
peace and the commerce of the town.
. .

By the same course you would check the immi-
gration of unskilled pauper labour from Ireland,
which so many of the middlemen porters and
lumpers employ in preference to that of trained
and skilled men, because the possessors of that
labour are ready to submit to reduced wages, and
to the numerous exactions practised by them. A
wholesome competition there would always remain.
But the over influx which at present operates to
threw hundreds of honest and skilled workmen
and their families upon the parish funds, whilst
their place is filled with raw and turbulent recruits
from the soil of Ireland, would cease to exist. We
should thus get rid of a continual source of tumult,
disease, and filth, and at the same time be enabled
to lighten the burdens of the already suffering
ratepayers of the town.
