people a taste fora higher description
of food. The irish people were discov
ering that they could work longer and
better, and We're altogether in better
condi tion, by the use Of meal, the pro,
duct OF Indian corn, than by the use oil
that watry food, potatoes, inspire con
fldence. Let it not be forgotten, too,
that we require foreign wheat 10 mix
with our own at cheaper rate than
the present duty of los. permitted; and
five could get oats and barley meal at
duty Of one shilling. instead of five or
six, it would be a great and desirable
addition TO our own supply, and he had
no doubt that an immediate importa.
tion would follow. At present there
was no treasury order, except in the
case of Indian corn, and all operations
In the grain trade were in state of
great uncertainty. Under these circum-
stances, he appealed TO Irish members
to withdraw their opposition to the first
reading Of the bill for the Protection of
Life and Property in Ireland, and allow
il, on their re-assembling, to pass that
state, with reserve as 10 its future
progress. 80 ~it-.= -s,s ID
A discussion arose shared in by Mr..
Halves, Mr.. Smith OBrien, Mr.. Caleb
Powell, and Sir James Graham, and
during which Mr.. Thomas Duncombe
severely censured the government for
their perlipacity in forcing on the Co.
ercion Bill, thus placing a stumbling
block in the way OF the Corn Bill.
Their conduct had raised doubts in
the minds of the public, as to the sin
cerity Of ministers in their commercial
measures. The subject ultimately drop

Easter recess.
POLISH INSURRECTION.
A Letter from Cracow states that on
the 2s;h of March, the director of the
police issued a proclamation by order
of Field Marshall Count CastigIione, by
which all strangers living in The city or
in the territory of Cracow, whose pass
ports are not in order, or who have not
special permission from the police,
are ordered to quit in fifteen days 9TH
erwise, they will be compelled to do
SO by force. .u
Accounts from Galicia, that the peas,
ants, fal from obeylng the order to re>
tire to their homes, have attacked the
Austrian troops al various places, and
are commanded by men of great mill
tary tactics. 49,. ... .....
The number of troops in Galicia
does not exceed $4,000 men. 1t is said
that there is an ill.feeling between the
Russian and Austrian officers.
The correspondence of the Deutsche
AHgeme1ne Zeitumg has been obliged
to quit Cracow, owing to the proclama-
ton of C. Castiglionc, regarding slran-
gers in general. At Warsaw on the
18th ult. two Poles paid their devotion
to their country with their lives. On
Tie same day M. de Theis, the French
consul at that city, who had invited
some of his friends and colleagues to a
parry at his house, on hearing that the
execution was to take place immedi-
ateIy, put offhis party.
This produced great sensation at
Warsaw. Every one understood the
motives Of the condnct of M. dc Thels,
which it must be said was approved by
the consulate body; but it was asserted
that Prince Paskewitch is very much
annoyed at it.
IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF Coon
.HopE-Threatened War by the Ka,irs.
I'VE have received Cape Of Good
Hope papers TO the 10th February, in.
elusive, which bring important intel.
Iigence 70 the effect that the Kaiirs Sc.
riously mediate an attack upon Gra
hams Town. The inhabitants of the
colony were thrown into state Of
great CONSERVATION by the reported
threat, and the Lieut. Governor put the
troops in motion to guard against any
such attack, while the inhabitants de.
termined to patrol and protect the town
relieving each other at intervals. The
latest information, however, received
respecting the Kairs movement would
seem to indicate that the contemplated
attack was without foundation.

the Ohio banks is beginning TO shake
