The one refers to the disposition—the other to the external behaviour. The one is a virtue-the othcr 1<; an accomplishment. The one is grace of chr;1.ctcr: it resides in the soul, and consists in tne benevolence of an amiable temper. The other is -,rac, of manner: it may be seen in the outward appearance, and consists in the elegance of a fasbionable exterior. A man may be courteous without being courtly. To learn the virtue of the text, it is not necessary to go to court, or be prac- tised in the ceremonials of fine and polished society. Courteousness is the virtue of all ranks: it may be seen in the cottage as -well as in the palace in the artificer's shop as well as in the gay and fashionable assembly in the awkwardness of a homely and untutored peasant, as well as in the reilned condescension of a prince who wakens rapture in every heart, and spreads fascination and joy around his circle of delighted visitors. It is of importance not to confound what is so essentially dif- ferent. A man may have civility without a particle of ferent.

Tidy, was one evening silting in tiie coffee-room of the well-known Blue Posts at Portsmouth quietly engaged in reading a newspaper, when a party of ofifcers of the American navy strolled in, and began to talk very loudly of their rights and privileges, the advantages of their mode of government, and the supe- riority of their nation in the world. Although an un- willing listener to this bombast, Colonel (then captain) Tidy continued apparently engaged with his paper, until he was especially addressed bv ohc of these officers, wlw chaliengeù his opinion as to the rights of American precedency over England herself. The former would willingly have declined the discussion, but the latter persisted on carrying it on. Finding that he could elicit no reply, he at la,t raised his voice, and thus attracted the notice of several new-comers:—"Now," pursued the American. how can you talk of freedom of opinion? Why, you look upon your king as dif- ferent to other :11En you dare not give your true opi- nion about him, you know you dare not.

CON CH7.CAN*, TI1F. IRISH OIL MAS. I We extract a passage from the third number of I'.r.s highly interesting work, descriptive of a lion-ng'e.t. V\ e should premise that Con is on boanl a yacht belonging to one .Sir Dudley Broughton, who amuses himself at stated periods by the playful but rude gambols of a couple of lion-whelps kept on board. A moorish boy, El Jarasch, has charge of the animals, between whom and Con there is mutual dislike. The boy being laid up with a wound from one of the lions, Con who has taunted him with cowardice, finds himself committed to a pro- mise to ta?c his piacc in ?xhibitin? th?ni for the Cap- ta.in's cntcrt'?inutent—this pntpr?inmp?t con?stin? it) teasing the beasts at feeding time. Con accordiu?ty goes down to El Jarach to obtain h,s st?t r which was a short thick truncheon of ot?, tipped with brass at each end, and the on]v weapon ever used by the Moor in his dan?eruus enterprises. The following graphically described scene then occurs :— So you're going to take my place!" said the black fellow, while his dark eyes were lighted up like coals of fire, and his white teeth glanced between his purple lips. Don't hurt my poor pet cubs; lie gentle with them." i Where's the staff?" said I, not liking the tone in ■ which he or \Ve,'? lie a?,i ccted eame;t or jest. I)r:crc it 1 lie liit. v,'t,,Ite W:] be enough without that. You'll not need the weapon the coward used and as he spoke, a kind of shuddering convulsion shook his frame from head to foot. "Come, come!" said 1, stretching out my hard; I ought not to have cJ.]Jed vou a coward, Jarasch that you are not! I ask you to forgive me will you r" lie never spoke, but nestled lower down in the ham- mock, so that I could not even ó;cc j¡is face. There, they're calling me already. I must be oil! Let us shake hands and be friends this time at least. When you're well and uo, we can light it out about something else '"Kiss me, then," said he: and though I had no fancy for the embrace, or the tone it was asked in, I leaned over the hammock, and while he placed one arm around my neck, and drew me towards him, I kissed his forehead, and he mine, in true Moorish fashion and not sorry to have made my peace with my only enemy, I stepped up the ladder with a light heart and a firm I courage. I little knew what need I had for both When Jarasch had put his arm around my neck, I did not know that he had inserted his }¡and bCJlcath the collar of m v shirt, and drawn a long streak of blood, from his own vein, across my back between my shoulders. When I arrived on deck, it was to receive the congratulations of the crew, who all were struck with my muscular arms and legs, and who unanimously pronounced that I was far fitter to exercise the whelps than was the Moor. Sir Dudley said nothing a short nod greeted me as I came towards him, and then he Tic, back with his hand, a motion, which, having something contemptuous in it, pained me acutely at the moment. I had not much tiP-1c, however, to indulge such feelings. The whelps were already on deck, and springing madly at the wooden bars of their cage for liberty. Eager as themselves, I hastened to unbolt the door, and set them free. No sooner were they at large than they set off, down one side of the deck and up the other, careering at lull speed, clearing with a bound whatever stood in their way, and when by any chance meeting each other, stopping for an instant to stare with glaring eyes and swelling nostrils, and then, either passing stealthily and warily- past, or, one would crouch, while tIIP. other cleared him at a spring, and so off again. In all this I had no part to play; 1 could neither call them back, like Jarasch, whose voice they knew, nor had I his dexterity in catching them as they went, and throwing all manner of gambols, over ;lnd upon them, as he did. I felt this poignantly, the more as I saw, or thought I saw. Sir Dudley's eyes upon me, more than oncc, with an expression of disdainful pity. At last, the great tub which contained the creatures' food was wheeled for- ward; and no sooner had the men retired, than the quick-scented animals were on the spot,—so rapidly, indeed, that I had barely time to seat myself, cross- legged, on the lid, when they approached, and with stately step walked found the vessel, staring, as it were, in surprise, at the new figure who disputed tlmir meal with them. At last, the male placed one paw upon the lid, and with the other, tapped me twice or thrice on the shoul- dcr,with the kind of gentle, pattering blow a cat will sometimes use with a mouse. It was a sort of wild ad- monition to leave thct," nothing of hostiEty whate"e. being announced. I replied by imitating the gesture, so far a" a halt- closed fist wonlrl permit, and struck hiia on the side of the head. He looked grave at this treatment, and slowly descending from his place, he lay clown, about a yard oh'. Meanwhile the female, who had been smelling and snif- fing round and round the tub, made an effort to lift the lid with her head, and failing, began to strike it in sharp short blows with her paw; the excitement of her face, and the sturdy position of the hind legs, showing that her temper was chafed at the delay. To increase her rage, I pushed the lid a few inches back and as the savoury steam arose, the creature grew more cager, and at last attracted the other to the spot. It was quite clear that hunger was the passion upper- most with them, and that they had not yet connected me with the cause of their disappointment; for they laboured by twenty* devices, to insert a paw, or to smash the lid, but never noticed me in the least. Wearied of my fai- lures to induce them to play, and amiry at the indiffer- ence they manifested to rrre-, I sprang from the lid, and lifting it from the tub, Hung it back. In an instant they had each their heads in the mess the female had even her great paw in the midst of the tub, and was eating away, with t1:'t low, gurgling growl peculiar to the wild beast. Dashing right between them, I seized one by the throat with both hands, and hurled him back upon the neck. Aii f) it t o f j burst from the crew at the boldness of the feat, and with a hound the fdlnw made at me. I drooped suddenly on one knee as he came, and struck him v illi the staff on the fore legs. Had he been shot, he could not have fallen more rapidly down he went, like a dead nnss, on the deck. To spring on his back, and hold him fast down, was the work of a second, while 1 belaboured him about the head with my fists. The stunning effect, of his first fall gave me the victory for a moment, but lie soon rallied, and attacked me boldly. It was now a fair fight, for, if I sometimes succeeded in making him shake his huge head, or drop his paw with pain, more than once he staggered me with a blow, which, had it been only quickly followed, would soon have decided the struggle. At last, after a scutlle in which he had nearly vanquished me, he made a leap at!nythroat;Iputi))a!rowofsuc!ipowerwitli.tbe staff on the forehead, that he gave a loud roar of pain, and with drooping taii, slunk to hide away himself beneath a boat. Up to this moment, the female had never stirred from the mess of food, but continued eating and snarling, as though every mouthful was a battle: scarcely, however, had the roar of the other cub been heard, than she lifted her head, and slowly turning round, stared at me with an itiv dreams will I- c c 01 I had not yet recovered from the exhaustion of my late cnco!.1r.tr.r, and was half sitting, half 1medir.:>: on the, deck, as the whelp stood, glowering at me, with every vein in her vast forehead swollen, and her large, red eves seeming to dilate as she looked. The attitude of the creature must have been striking, for the crew cheered with a heartiness that showed hOlv much they admired her. So long ns I sat unmoved, she never stirred but when I prepared to arise, she gave one bound, and strikin<» me with her head, hurled me back upon the deck her own impulse had carried her clean over me, :l1Jd when she returned, I was already up, on my knees, and better pre- pared to receive her. Again she tried the same manoeuvre; but this time I leaped to my feet, and springing on one side, struck her a heavy blow on the top of the head. Twice or thrice the same attack, with the same result, followed and at each blow, a gallant cheer from the men gave me fresh courage. The beast was now excited to a dreadful degree, hut her very nassion favoured me, for her assaults were wilder ard less circumspect than at first. At length, just as 1 was again mailing the side leap by which I had escaped, my foot slipped, and I fell. I was scarcely- down ere she was upon me, not, as before, to strike with her paws, but with a rude shock, she threw herself across me, as if to crush me by her weight; while hcr huge head, and terrific mouth, froth v and steaming, lav within a few inches of my lace. Ilalkett and two others advanced to my rescue but I bade them go back, and leave me to myself, for I was only wearied, not conquered. For some minutes we lay tblls; when at length, having recovered strength once more, I grasped the whelp's throat with both hands, and then, by a tremendous 8:£,)rt, threw her bark, and roned myself uppermost. She soon shook herself free, how- ever, and turned upon me; I was now on my knees, ami with the stall I dealt her a fierce blow on the leg, A terrific howl followed, and she closed w11h me in feu; fury, Seizing my hhirt, she tore it away from my breast, and with her paw upon the fragmentt ripped it in a hundred pieces. I endeavoured to catch her by the throat once njoie, biif failed, and rolled over on my face, and, in doing so, disclosed the bloody streak between my shoul- ders she saw it, and at the samc instant sprang on m". 1 felt her teeth, as they met in my neck, while her terri- 11e cry—the most appalling ears ever heard, rang thrush ?i- I I I Save h''m! —save 'rhn she's killing him were now heard on every side but none dated to fire, for fear of wounding me, and tiie terrible rage of the animal deter- r"d all f]'o]HnpproachI.iicr.

"Shoot her put a bu'dctt through her!" cried Ilal- kett. "Let none dare to shoot her!" cried Sir Dudley, loudly. I just hcar fhese words, as, after a fierce struggle, in which she had seized me by the shoulder, I fell against the bulwark. With a last effort I staggered to my Knces, flullg open the gangway; and then, vviih an exeition that to myself seepied my v cry last on earth, I seized hfr by the throat, and hurled her backwards into the sea. On hands and knees I leaned forward to see her, as the rapid gulf-stream, hurrying onward to the ocean, bore her away; arid then, as n1Y sight grew fainter, I fell lJaci, noon the deck, and believed I was ,j dying.

HOGSE OF COMMONS.—TnelisJ.u-, }!HCil 8. I Lord Mahon, pursuant to notice, railed the attention I of the House to the iEstrnc:iüns issued in l?? I", 1817, and 134$, with [rsp"ct to the transnorLltion and disci- i pline of convicts. He bc?aubycompta.inir.? of the re- peated fluctuations in the views and principles of Lord j Grey on this subject, ami asked for a distinct declaration of what their system really was. Hethenadvert.edto the abolition of transportation to New South Wales, reviewing the convict system and its administration in the Australian colonies, and censuring the meddling and vacillating policy of Earl Grey with relation to the sys- tem discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the I penitentiary system, and urged the mischievous conse- t quences of setting convicts, at the expiration of their t 1,ie exl)ii,i,,on of their term of discipline free in the mother countrv. In con- sidering the practical suggestions for the treatment of convicts, he observed that Captain Maconochie's were not all to be received with implicit conifdence his own suggestions concluded there-establishment of the colony of North Australia, which had been unwisely abandoned transportation, under an improved system, to New South Wales, and a reformed system of assignment in that colony and Van Diemeri's Land, under conditions, as an experiment. He concluded with a motion for certain returns. Mr. Herbert gave some distressing details respecting the increase of crimc and the crowded state of the prisons in Ireland, the numbers being swelled by convicts under sentence of transportation. Sir Gco. Grey thanked Lord Mahon for the oppor- tunity his motion afforded him to state the measures adopted by the Executive Government in the exercise of their discretion in carrying out the sentences of tran- sportation of convicts. He then defended Lord Grey, or rather the Government, from the charge of inconsis- tency, and reminded the House of the difficult position ie. which the question of convict discipline stood at the time the present Ministers entered office he explained the views and intentions of the Government with regard to tiie introduction of a new system of penal discipline, and noticed the erroneous impression which prevailed, that Government had come to the conclusion that the separate system of imprisonment kd failed; oil the contrary, every year's experience had added to their con- viction of its tialntary effects, both as a punishment and a means of reformation. In justifying the continuance i of penal labour on public works in this country and near home, as a second stage, lie considered the hulks as only I a temporary expedient. In the third stage, the removal of convicts from this country, he showed that the system now adopted pffeeted that object more completely than the old, besides securing other collateral advantages. He admitted the evil of the crowded state of the Irish gaols, which did not arise from the suspension of tran- spcrtation the increase of crime was eûnnC(\Clt with the recent state of that country, and the convicts were mostly of r. class uulit for transportation. Sir George then considered the rather meagre pnctical swzgestiüru of Lord Mahon, showing the inexpediency of carrying out the scheme of a settlement in New Australia, and of a return to the assignment system, which, in any shape, would be one of slavery. Subject to modi- fication, transportation, as a punishment, would be con- tinued by the Government, which must, however, be ( allowed a certain degree of discretion. Mr. Hume complained of the ever-varying plans of convict discipline; or the expenses incurred thereby, and of the absurdity of what was termed "hard labour." The present system of endeavouring to reform criminals at home would fail, and labour was wanted in the colonies, where thc assignment system should (H re- introduced. Sir J. Fakirigton said, the state of this question for the last few years hall been very unsatisfactory, and re- commended the adoption of the principle of Captain Maconochie's plan. Mr. Gladstone defended the principle of the probation system, the horrors of which in Van Diemcn's Land resulted from the defective instrumentality whereby it was carried out. He thought Lord Grey had been guilty of precipitan(;y-fir>:t, with regard to the breaking up of the settlement of Norfolk Islands, and carrying the convicts to Van Diemen's Land; and secondly, in send- ing the convicts of New South Wales to Van Diemen's Land, after a pledge given that transportation would not be renewed. He had heard, however, with great sa. I tifaction the authentic acknowledgment of Sir George Grey -that transportation would be renewed, and he suggested the great importance of extending the area to which transportation should apply, in which respect we had degenerated from the wisdom of our ancestors, who, in North America, had employed convicts in moderate numbers. Mr. Ewart, Mr. Alderman Sidney, and Mr. p, Scrape spoke shortly upon some of the topics in the question, and Sir G Grey gave replies to inquiries put. to him. The motion was agreed to. Me Disraeli n rose to move certain resfllItiuns declaratory of the unequal burdens east upon real pro- perty and the agricultural interests of the country, and pledging the House to take measures which may estab- lish a more equitable apportionment of the public bllr- dens. lie said he hoped to induce the House to consent to a great measure of conciliation, of justice, and of policy. Assuming the admission of great agricultural distress in the country, he declined discussing the causes of it, as unnecessary for his argument, or to enter upon a controversy as to the policy of the changes by which, according to Mr. Cobden, the agricultural class had not been fairly treated. He still thought that our new commercial system was founded upon erroneous prin- ciples, and he shortly enumerated some of the reasons upon which he founded that opinion but lie looked not to a sudden retrogression, but to legitimate means, for remedying the evils of this new system. The question before the House was extremely simple. No less them fl0,090,000 was levied last, veal' by direct local taxation upon Teal property, independently of £ 2,000,000 land- tax that is, a direct taxation of £ 12,000,000, from which other property was exempt was levied upon a rental of income of the country was £ 219,000,000 on what principle of justice "could. £ 12,000,000 of local taxation be cast, upon little more than one-fourth of that income ? \Vho would suppose that this burden was cast, in the teeth of the law, upon the proud and rapacious aristocracy, who always made laws for their own advantage ? He exposed the con- fusion of terms which annexed the idea of locality to these taxes,whereas they were of a much wider and more comprehensive character; and he illustrated this argument by an ingenious exposition of the nature and objects of these so-called local rates; and the local causes of some of our general national taxation. The grievance and anomaly of these two forms of taxation had been long felt, and, as a remedy, a system of na- tional rating had been recommended; but to this he objected. He would not resist <Ill il1<:}\1iry into the sub- ject of the probate and legacy duties; for the resv.lt would show that a large proportion was paid by the lau d, or the property of the fit-rrer but this was beside the question as to the justice of throwing £ 12,000,000 of taxes upon one-fourth of the property of the country; and if the House would go into committee, he would otfer a plan, which was founded in justice, to remedy this inequality. In a spirit of compromise and conciliation, he should propose, the present system of local adminis- tration remaining, the present levy of rates continuing, that the local districts should be responsible for one moiety, and that the ether should be paid by the Con- solidated Fund. Mr. Disraeli then described, in forcible terms, the treacherous manner in which the agricultural interest had been treated on the subject of the malt-tax, the repeal of which lie nevertheless persuaded them not to press for, but to be contellt with the measure he pro- poscd--a measure founded in justice and he concluded with the following eloquent peroration :—" The measure or £ 0,000,000 of taxation o:T the real property of the country. Its benefits wonld be felt in ('\uy town, vi'lla.- c, farmhouse. It was not a scct:nian ;rrallS';(,- ment. It wouldbenent the farmer a hundred times more than the repeal of the malt-tax, while it would at the same time, confer equal benefit on the other classes of the community. He had been asked by the gentlemen of Ireland whether he intended that his resolutions should apply to their country. It was his intention that they should apply to Ireland. (Cheers.) There was no reason why they should not and, if he had not intrullaccd thc case of Ireland into the debate, it was because the analogous taxes imposed on that country were levied by a different machinery, and bc- cause he wuhed to keep the question free from any complication of details. But if the present motion should be assented to by the house it was his intention to follow it up with another measure in the same spirit, applicable to Ireland. Had his lamented friend (Lord G. Bentiuck) been spared it was his intention to have introduced into Parliament this year a measure that he (Mr. Disraeli) believed would have done more for Ireland than all the measures that had been introduced by Ministers for the last half century (hear) — more comprehensive and more beneficial even than the yreat ne"mevhi,h he unfortunately did not cany. (Hear, hear.) But it was uS¡CSs to attemp to assist Ireland unless Irish members would throw aside their party fe(I "ngs aiil remember the interests oflaud without which they could not muc h longer stand.

I have endeavoured — I trust in a hir way, I am sure not in an intemperate spirit (hear, hear)—the views and suggestions of those who complain of the grievances which I have alleged in the resolutions whieh I am about to place on the table. Those comphints are those various classes that, com- bined and united, form what is called in popular lan- guage the landed interest—a portion of this nation that, whether we look to their properties, or their numbers, or the weight and influence which neccssariiy result from their social posit ion, or from their interesting occupation, ma y still be countcd the most considerable order of our society. ( Hear, hear.) Sir, it would be disingenuous if iu this discussion 1 attempted to conceal that the landed interest do not merely complain of the grievances alleged in these resolutions, but of the great injury which they Ileeni they have received from the hands of this house.

It is not my intention now to enter into the policy or impolicyof those great measures which you passed three years ago —which yen passed and which I they deplore (clwel's from the Protection benches), but it is my duty to represent to you that dull or indifferent as you may sometimes have chosen to picture them, they ¡ have not been unmindful of what has happened in this country of later years, of much that has been done and said in tiiis bouse. They have witnessed the rise a L-i d devciopenient in this country of new piopcrties and new- "UUfCC5 "I influence, ami they have witnessed !hcm?ith-) ouf jealousy, for it is a part of their creed that national prosperity depends upon the union of all classes. (Cheers.) They have not witnessed wi.th any hostile feeling the rightful representation of these interests and properties in this bouse but although they have obser- ved these great, incidents, and with no other feeling but such as becomes "a manly mind, it is but right that you should understand that it is not without emotion they havc witnessed that the whole course of your legislation for years has been to invest those new properties with piiviieges, and simultaneously to deprive them of thdrs, (Lnud cheers.) They have not forgotten that they have been spoken of ill terms of contempt by Ministers of .t;tte (renewed cheers), aye, even by the son of a great house,—a house that always loved the land, and whom the land stiil loves. (Continued applause.) They have not forgotten that they have been held up to public odium and reprobation by triumphant demagogues. (Prolonged cheers,) They nave not forgotton that their noble industry, that in olden days was considered the in- vention of gods and the occupation of heroes, h'lS been stigmatized and denounced as a)-, iiietibiis upon English enterprise. They have not forgotten that Hen the very empire that was created by the valour and with the blood and the devotion of their fathers had been held up to public hatred as a cumbrous and ensanguined machinery- devised to pamper the luxury and to feed the rapacity of territorial houses. (Cheers.) The fact is, Sir, that these things are very hard to digest. They are not plea- sant, to the humble, and they are in tolerable to the justly proud, (Renewed cheers.) These are things which you may depend change the heart and the blood of nations and whether you think their feeliag is founded on justice, or whether you deem it baseless, I tell you—and every member of this house, every good and wise man must feel,—that nothing more is to be deprecated, that no- thing is more dangerous, than that considerable classes of the country should deem that they are treated unfairly by the Legislature. (lIear, hear.) It is a fact, Sir, that the spirit of the landed interest is deeply wounded, and whether they have foundation for their feeling or not, it is one which I would recommend any Minister not to treat with contempt. (Loud cheers.) I fancy that it has been somewhat too long the habit to believe that you migat conduct yourselves towards that interest with im- punity. It was a proverb, even in the time of Walpo'e, that t liey might be fleeced with all security, and I have observed that, at no time is the landed interest more unj ustly treated than when demagogues are denoun- cing them as oligarchical usurpers. (Hear, hear.) l,tit this maybe dangerous play if you are outraging justice. You think you may trust their proverbial loyalty, Trust their loyalty, but do not abuse it. (Cheers.) I dare say it may be said as it was said 3,000 years ago, in the most precious legacy of political science that has de- scended to us-l dare say it may be said of them that the agricultural class is the lcast. given to sedition. (Hear, hear.) I doubt not that that is as true of the Englishman of the plain and the dale as it was of the Greeks of the isle and the continent; but it would be just as well if you also recollected that the fathers of these nien were the founders of your liberties, and that, before this time, their ancestors have bled for justice. (Ifear, hcar.) Yon may rely upon it that the blood of those men who refused to pay ship-money is not to be trifled with. (Loud cheers.) Their conduct to you has exhibited no hostile feeling, notwithstanding the political changes which that have abounded of late years, and all apparently, to a diminution of their power. They have inscribed a very humble sentence upon their rural ban- 11ers, but it is one which, if I mistake not, is calculated to touch the heart and convince the reason of England —" Live and let live." (Great applause.) You have adopted a different motto—you, the leading spirits on the benches which I see before me, have openly declared your opinion that if there was not an acre of land culti- vated in England it would not be the worse for this coun- try. (Hear, hear.) You have all of you in open chorus bee n always ready to announce your object to be to ob- tain a monopoly of the commerce of the universe, and to make this country the workshop of the world. Your system and theirs are exactly contrary. They in vite union. They believe that national prosperity can only be produced by the prosperity of all classes. You prefer to remain in isolated splendour and solitary maguificcnce, but believe me 1 speak not as your enemy when I say that it will be an exception to the principles which seem hitherto to have ruled society if you can succeed in maintaining the prosperity which you desire without the possscssion of that permanence and stability which the territorial principle alone can afford. (Hear, hear.) I Although you may for aflourish after this de- j struction.—although your ports my be filled with ship- ping—although your factories may smoke on pvpry plain, and your forges flame in every city, I see no reason why you should form an exception to that which the page of history has recorded that you, too, should not fade like the Tyrian dye and moulder like the Venetian palaces. (Loud cheers.) But, united with land, you will obtain the best and surest. foundation upon which you can build an enduring prosperity and you will find in that interest a consoler in all your troubles in dangers your un- doubted champion and in adversities your ready cus- tomer. (Renewed applause. It is to assist in producing this result, Sir, that I am about to place these resolutions in your hands. I wish to see the agriculture,the com- merce, and the manufacturers of England not adversa- ries, but co-mates and partners—rivals only in the ar- dour of their patriotism and the activity of their public spirit. (The hon. gentleman resumed his scat amid pro- longed applause.) Mr. Hume expressed his utmost astonishment at the remedy proposed by Mr. Disraeli, whose speech was not in accordance with his resolutions, and whose proposi- tion would impose upon the tenant-farmers (of whom he had said nothing) an additional income-tax of £ 6,000,000. He then showed that these rates were pro- perly laid upon the land, which had been purchased subject to them. Tie then entered at some length upon his favourite topic of the gencral reduction of taxation, and stated the particular tuxes he proposed to take off; and concluded by moving an amendment to Mr. Dis- raeli's motion to the effect that, if there be any inequality in the local taxation bearing upon real property, it ought to be removed; bat the public expenditure should be reduced so as to permit the repeal of the duties on malt and hops. At the close of Mr. Hume's speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer suggested that the discussion should be resumed on Wednesday next, and it was agreed to. A fter Ilr. Hume had resumed his scat, and some other business entered upon, Sir Robert Peel, with pen in hand, crossed the floor to where Mr. Hume was sitting, and took a scat beside him. The conference lasted for a minute or two, and had reference apparently to the terms of Mr. IIume's amendment. Mr. Aglionby obtained leave to bring in a bill to effect the compulsory enfranchisement of kinds of copyhold and customary tenure. Sir J. Pakington moved to nominate the select com- mittee on the Bribery at. Elections Bill. On the name of Sir J. Hanmer beitig proposed, Col. Sibthorp objected to the hon. baronet, on the ground of the strong part he had taken in relation to bribery. He moved to substitute the name of the hon. member for Peebleshire Mr. P. Mackenzie. The motion having been withdrawn, Sir J. Ilanmer was nominated. Colonel Sihthorp suggested to the hon. baronet (Sir J. Pakington) that it would be desirable for him to select the Attorney-General to serve upon his committee, be- cause no man in that house Knew more about bribery. (A The Attorney-General.—If tiie house wishes, I will of course serve upon the committee, but as the hon. and gallant member has put it upon such grounds I shali decline. < Colonel Sibthorp.—The lion, and learned gentleman is either very much conversant with bribery, or else he is very much belied. (A laugh.) The Attorney-General (with warmth).—The hon. and gallant member has no right to say so. I have already denied it.—(Colonel Sibthorp.—" What ?") What you say I have been guilty of. I have denied in this house that I have had anything to do with bribery.and the honourable and gallant member has no right to re- peat It. Colonel Sibthorp utterly denied having charged the Attorney-General with having been guilty of bribery. (" 011.") Sir J. Pakington hoped this matter would go no further. The House adjourned at 1 o'clock. FRIDAY, MA licit 9. I NAVIGATION L.VWs. 1 On the order of the day for the second reading of the bill for the repeal and modification of the Naviga- tion Laws, Mr. Herrics moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time on that day six months, lie contended that those laws were necessary to the maintenance of a great commercial marine, without which we could not support a navy commensurate with our maritime supremacy, Farther the proposed measure would destrov another branch of the industry of the country; it would do with tiie sea an their recent com- mercial legislation had done with the land-exposing our interests on both to ruin from foreign competition. Mr. J. Wilson replied and said, the repeal of the navi- gation la ws was demanded by our colonies, and especially by Canada, whose commerce was greatly impeded bv the restrictions placed by those laws on the navigation of the St. Lawrence. Several foreign nations had returned favourable answers to our overtures for frc cxc\Hmg" and even if we should not be met by reciprocal conces- sions, he dd not fear that the British snip-owner was not capable of maintaining a suecp,sfu! competition "jth the ship-owner of any other country. He entered into long slatistiea] details to prove that the repeal of the na- vigations would be beneficial to our colonies, to our mer- chants, and our manufacturers. The second i-eadiiiq of the bill was supported by Mr. Cardwell, who earnestly advised that our large carrying trade with the Baltic should not be risked by provoking the hostility of Prussia and of Russia and he reminded the House of Mr. Huskisson's warning against the pos- sibility of their iij) some great maritime state to compete with us for the carrying trade; by maintaining their restrictions they were creating such a rival in the United States, and if their present policy were continued, the ships of that country would carry the produce of America and Asia to the ports of Europe. After a careful examination of the evidence taken on this ques- tion, he said the conclusion was what inhrht naturally be exnected, that this country which had the largest capital, where the interest of money was lowest, where the greatest energy and skill existed, and which had the ¡ command of the markets of the world, must prove su- perior in all competition. He did not pledge himself to support the details of the bill, but he advised the House to let it pass, in order that ail the wisdom of all parties in the Legislature might be br<.JU",ht to the perfecting of a measure required by the necessities of our commerce. The Marquis of Gran by led the opposition after Mr. Ilerrics, and quoted Mr. Maekay's recently published work, The Western World," to show the enormous industrial and commercial resources of the United States, and contended that w>e could not compete with the Ame- ricans in building or navigating vessels. lIe next endea- voured to show by statistics that foreign ships competed successfully with ours in all parts of the world, and he- insisted that if they were admitted to our colonial trade our own shipping interest would be destroyed. He con- cluded that the abrogation of the present laws would be injurious at once to our ship-owners, our shipbuilders, and their artisans, and would strike a blow at our naval j superiority bv destroying our mercantile marine l Mr. Henley followed on the same side, and remrk('d I that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cardwell had ?'m'n the n:ttiond iesiioii the go t, Those who sou?httoup?ctasystent under which for the last two hundred years the com- mercial marine of this country had grown with its wants, and the Royal navies were well slIppliNJ with seamen, wore bound to demonstrate beyond all shadow of doubt that, no injury can possibly* arise to our shipping interest from the admission of foreign competition. This had not been done, and he would not trust our mercantile prosperity and national safety to the chance of au untried experiment. On the motion of Mr. Gladstone the debate was ad- journed until Monday. The adjourned debate on Mr. Disraeli's resolution was II fixed for Thursdav instead of Wedne sday. The other orders of the clay, which were unimportant, were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at twelve o'clock.

I FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. I II FRANCE. 1. L .¡.I .-J. f I11 France, tiie subjects chiefly occupying the public II mind are the approaching elections (in which the Buona- partes still hope for an ascendancy) and the trial of Raspail and the other persons accused for treason to the state, in the great Red Republican and Socialist demon- strations. The trial has commenced at Bourges, but M. Louis Blanc and M. Causidiere, who escaped to Eng- land, have not returned to take their trial according to their promise, the alleged reason being that the tribunal is incompetent and informal. Galiynani's Messenger gives the following particulars of a domestic fracas which has just occurred in Paris. After stating that a gentleman had been shot by an out- raged husband, it adds The husband is an American gentleman, named Carreguy, of No. 80. rue d'Anjou St. Honore, and he has resided in Paris four or five years. The wife-is the mother of four children, and when the husband discovered her in the act of committing adul- tery, the youngest child was sleeping in its cradle near ¡ her. The adulterer is M. Charles Coctlouon, brother of the gentleman who lately fought a duel with M. Clement ¡ Thomas. On making the discovery of his dishonour, M. Carrguy rushed on M. Coetleuon, and a struggle ensued, in the course of which the lamp was knocked down, and they were left in the dark. M. Carreguy then drawing forth a pistol discharged it at the adulterer, and the latter at the same moment stabbed him with a poignant in the shoulder. According to another account, how- ever, M. Carreguy was wounded by a pistol discharged by M. Coetieuon. 31. Carrcguy's hands, it appears, arc bruised and cut, owing to his having broken some panes of glass in getting access to the bedchamber. The noise of fire-arms attracted M. Carrcguy's guests to the I ,ticsts to tli?2 spot, and by that time M. Coetleuon had escaped. The guests cried Stop him,stop him lie is an assassin and thinking that he had descended the staircase, rushed down after him, M. Carreguy heading them, armed with a pistol. At the bottom of the stairs they fell in with M. Borgonion, and M. Carreguy, discharged his pistol at him. After this scene it was fou, d that Madame Carreguy, who hail fainted during the affair between her husband and lover, had uisappeared. The commissary of police, who was called in, saw drop-s of blood on the balcony, and traced them to the rails which separated the balcony from that of the adjoining house. He then discovered that, the rail's had been sawn through, and, eventually, it was found that M, Coetleuon had passed through, had been followed by Madame Carreguy to his apartment in the next house. The wound of M. Coetleuon is grave the bullet entered the breast, and has not. yet been extracted but it is be- lieved that the wound is not mortal. As to 1I. Bor- gonion, his state doos not cause serious alarm, but his sufferings are terrible." I ITALY. ?, I    The Pope remains at Gaeta, whither also the fugitive Grand Duke of Tuscany is gone. Tii?re is ta;k of a Neapolitan force entering the Papal dominions to re- store the Pope; and it is stated that anarmy of ten thousand Spaniards will shortly come to his rescue. Meanwhile the Austrians having ordered a strong mili- tary force into Tuscany, upon the ostensible ground of protecting the eventual rights of the EmpM'oy to the Duchy, a7te said to have retired again within the frontier. It is a)so stated that a Piedmontese army has been or- dered to enter the Tuscan territory. AUSTRIA. I The war in Hungary continues.and the accounts of the rival factions are so conflicting, that it is impossible to arrive at an approximation even to the truth. Daron Jellaehieh, and his Croatians, have latterly given to the Austrian general only- a lukewarm support, refusing to j aid in crnshiug the Hungarians unless their own liber- tics are guaranteed. This has given the Hungarians the opportunity of gaining some advances, and a Russian force has entered Transylvania to protect the inhabitants, at their own request, and with the sanction of the European powers. According to the latest accounts, however, General Bern had signally defeated the Aus- trians, notwithstanding that the Russian troops had entered the towns of Cronstadt and Ilermanstadt, thereby releasing the garrisons of those places to the assistance of Puchner, the Austrian general. The Emperor of Austria has ordered that the 200 000 crowns tine paid by the inhabitants of Ferrara shall be placed at the disposal of the Pope, in order to "lve an evident proof that the sending of the Austrian°troops there was with the most honourab'e intentions, and only for its object to punish a city which had vi??ted the I?w of nations. PRUSSIA. 1 Count Trautmansdorf, who has represented the Court I of Austria at Berlin for many years, has been suddenly recalled on account, it is àÏlf. of nut having opposed with sufficient energy the pretensions of tlm King' of Prussia to be chosen Emperor of Germany. He :> is to be sucecedtd bv General Prokish. I The king has refused to H'110W the armistice of Malmo, though it is believed that its cessation will not endanger the continuance of peace. Possibly before the ,28th instant, when the armistice expires, the negotia- tiuns now progressing in London will have made consi- derable progress. -+-_u

I ORDINATION.—On Sunday last the Lord Bishop of Worcester held an ordination kt the Worcester Cat.he- lIral, wLen the following candidates amomrst manv i otlwrs, were admitted to holy orders. The Hon. Mr. i Pakenham, a nephew of the Duke of Wellington, as j Deacon, William Davies, St. David's College, Lam- peter, by letters dimissory from the Bishop of Llandaff, as Priest. FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday morn- ing a dreadful and lamentably fatal explosion of fire- j damp too,; place at one of the collieries of the Ince Hall Coal and Caunel Company, more generally known ¡ in the neighbourhood by the name of "The Middle Patricroft Colliery," and situate within a very short distance from the cotton mill of Messrs. Gidlow, on the I road from Wigan to Iliedley, and about a mile ami a ¡ half from each place. Eleven lives were lost on the instant, and three seriously burnt, of whom one has '?ince d!cd. After the explosion measures were in- stantly t?kcn to get down the pit into the workings, to rescue the sucvivors, who were very quickly got out. From evcry information that can be obtained from the I survi vors, and from every indication that can at present be seen, it has been caused by one of the workmen going with a naked candle into a portion of the works, contrary to the express orders of the foreman, who had a short time previously been through the workings and fixed up a fire-damp hoard, which the men should not pass when they see it fixed in any part of the mine."— MancherUer G uardinn.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I WETSERN CIRCUIT.—■WINCHKSXKK. THE ROMSMY POISONING CASK. — chemist, at Romsey, was tried on Tuesday, for haying caused the death of Mrs. Smith by administering poison in a prescription he made up for her use. The melan- choly facts of this case have already appeared. Mr Jones, it appears, had by mistake, employed a prepara- tion of stn'chnine 1')1' the tonic medicine salieine in making up the prescription, the two drugs being kept in bottles which stood side by side on his shelves. Mr. Justice Williams in summing up said, that if the jury believed that a culpable degree of negligence had been proved, the defendant was thereby guilty of man- slaughter, a chemist being of all persons most bound to use discretion and caution. The jury returned a verdict c,f M URDUR.—Ellen Heath was charged with having administered arsenic to her husband, witn intent to murder him. The prisoner, it appeared was in the habit of taking her husband his dinner. On the 13th of I October Lis meal consisted of a meat pudding, which ¡ she #ave him in a basin. He did not like the taste, and dd 1)i¡t e;lt much, but very shortly afterwards was taken ill with sickness and vomiting, and was obliged to leave his wo'k. The surgeon prescribed remedies, and pre- ¡ Rerved the remainder of the pudding. On these beiliell-I submitted to the usual tests, the presence of arsenic was detected. A po1icem;:m \!Wl1 was sent to the prisoner's house, and after a long struggle succeeded in taking from her a paper containing a white powder, which ¡ afterwards proved to be arsenic. On being taken to the station on the charge of poisoning her husband, she said to the policeman that she should not have done it if it had not been for a young man. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and judgment of death was recorded against her. Nisi PRIUS COURT.—Mr. Justice Williams tried pri- soners during the latter part of the day. ¡ Mary Ann Young pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging her with having stolen four 21b loaves, the pro- perty of Harriet Brown, a shuemaker. The learned Judge sentenced her to be imprisoned with hard labour for one month. The prisoner stooped down, took off her shoe, and then said, Thank you, ray lord, take thatand threw her shoc at the learned Judge's head. It however, for- ¡ tunately fell short of the bench. and did no mischief. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham. MATRIMONIAL FRAUD. — IV. II. Gibson, alias Lieut. Gordon, was arraigned for the forging of an order upon Sir J. Kirkland, the army agent in Pall Mall for 4:30. The offence, however, possessed features of a deeper moral iniquity than that laid in the indictment. It appears that Gibson had been a surgeon's apprentice, but had abandoned that employ and married. In Jane last he was living, apparently a bachelor, at Scarbo- rough, where he assumed a very dashing style of living, calling himself Lieut. Gordon of the 10th Lancers, and wearing decorations, which he stated he had acquired for services in India. Here he formed an acquaintance with Miss Wright, the daughter of a music-seller in Sunderland, to whom he paid addresses, and they were to be married. He took her to York, where ho pretended to obtain a license, and she became, as she believed, his wife, but no legal marriage, it appeared, took place, although he inserted an announcement in the local paper announcing the event, and designating himself as lieutenant in the Wallallajab Light Dragoons, one of the three officers of that corps who survived the fearful slaughter at Bhurtpoor, son of Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, of Danpsbury Park, and on j returning to Sunderland the prisoner called on Mr. Wright and easily prevailed on his supposed father-in- law to give him cash for the order upon the army agent, which formed the subject of the present charge. His offence against Miss Wright being one of which criminal tribunals took no cognisance, the crime laid against him was that of affixing a name not his own to hc document in question. Before the cane went to the jury the pri- soner pleaded Guilty" to the charge, and was sentenced to ten years' transportation. "WHAT WON'T KKEP A MAN.—At the trial of Jona- than Bowron, at Durham, for highway robbery, one of the facts proved against him was, that subsequent to the robbery, and all making an escape from prison, he repaiied to his lodgings, and putting his hand into a hole in the mattress of his bed, drew out a small parcel, remarking to his landlady, This will keep me for some time." The inference drawn was, that the parcel contained part of the plunder; and his counsel, Mr. Digby Seymour, endeavoured to do away with the im- pression. It might not have been money at ail," he argued, it was just as likely to be a love-letter or a box of Morison's pills."—" Oh interposed Mr. Baron Alderson, "neither a love letter nor a box of Morison's pills would keep him. for' some time. K-ILNMR v. RAW LINGS. — This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins stated that the fair plaintiff is about 50 years of age, and filled the position of cook to Mr. G. Taylor of Hali- fax. The defendant is now a considerable farmer. In 1823—a long time ago—when in poorer circumstanccs, he paid his addresses to the plaintiff, Ln4Jiqvjng won the cooky's love And banished other beaux," th: plaintiff gave birth to two daughters consecutively of which he was the father. The defendant's love then cooled, the plaintiff's soft compliance having hardened his heart and lie thenceforv,aid transferred his affec- tions to another woman, by whom subsequently he also had two children. After an absence of upwards cf 20 years the defendant's truant passion returned to his first love, and in July, 1817, he wrote to her to put up the banns, as he would come over on the following Tuesday to be married to her;" but again was faithful Betty doomed to be deceived. The defendant suddenly changed his mind, and married the woman he first cohabited with. Since then the plaintiff had lived with her two daugh- ters, by whose industry she was supported. In all other respects, except her unfortunate connection with the defendant, the plaintiff's character was irreproachable, The defendant in his letters not unfrequently quoted Scripture, especially to deter tbc plaintiff from com- mencing a law-suit, as going to law would prove that she had no confidence in Him who hath said that all things should work together for good to them that love Him. It was proved.that the defendant had offered the plamtnl £ 400 to stop the present proceedings, and that he was a man of property.—Mr. Baron Alderson sum- med un, and the jury, after retiring for a short time, found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, £600. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —AVLF.sr.uuY. j Benjamin Isaacs was charged with having feloniously j received 13 watchcs, 100 brooches, 100 seals, 100 keys, I and other articles, to the value of £200, the property of Edwin Revel!, of Slough. In December, 1847, the shop of the prosecutor was broken into, and the property- stated in the indictment stolen. No clue was found to the robbery until six months after, when two notorious thieves, the one at Wakefield Gaol and the other at ¡ Miitbank, both under sentence of transportation, con- fessed that they had been concerned in the burglary, and that they returned to town and disposed of the pro- perty to Laacs, who always encouraged them to go forth on their denredations, even promising to send I money to them into the country, if they would convey their pickings to him in Petticoat-lane, London. For the plunder obtained at Slough, they said that Isaacs ) oflered them £ lo; it was worth £ 200. They agreed to take it, but not without some hesitation. Isaacs gave them rum and tictua!s,nnd asked them when they would be back again. Brown answered, When the £ lo is gone. The money was then paid in sovereIgns, Kndthet'ii'?cs proceeded after other business. Their evidence entirely coincided (although unheard by each other), even in minute cross- ex a- tion both of them showed considerable cleverness, but made the fullest confession of being concerned in mul- titudes of burglaries. Brown is on!y:6 years of age, and Constable 21.It was proved that the prisoner had absconded, and was eventually apprehended.—The Chief Baron, during the opening address of the learned coun- 81'1 for the prosecution, observed on the fact that none of the stolen property was found in the possession of the prisoner for unless there was strong corroborative evidence to bear out the evidence of convicted thieves, no London tradesman would he safe a single day.—For the defence a number of London tradesmen were called to testify to the previous good character of the pri- soner.—The jury, after half an hour's consultation, gave a verdict of Not guilty." The prisoner, how- ever, was detained, having forfeited his recognisance I of £,500. WORCESTER CIRCUIT.—MARCH lO. 1 Elizabeth Pritchard, alias Betsy Punk, aged 24, mar- ried, was indicted with one J. Smith (not in custody) with havin; aided in violently assaulting one Eleanor Ewens, and in committing a rape upon her. The pro- secutrix is an old woman 53 years of age. She stated that about midnight on the 17th of July last she was returning home up Copenhagen-street, and was met by the prisoner, the man Smith, and several other persons. The prisoner wished her to come to her lodgings, but she refused. But she was forced there the prisoner and Smith took her to a bedroom. Smith, who was de- scribed as a stout and strong man, threw the old woman upon the bed, the prisoner holding her down whiie he effected his purpose. They beat the old woman, dragged her across the room by the hair of her head, and then the man threw her down stairs. Smith after- wards dragged her into the street, threw her down, and left her. The crime was witnessed by two persons who lodged in an adjoining room, who being disturbed by the noise, got up and saw wh:ct was gain" on throuh was on through the cracks in the partition, but were afraid to interfere. The old woman was found at her own lodgings the next dav. but how she trot there has never Deen asccr- ,J tained. She was dreadfully beaten, the medical man who attended her describing her to be in the most pitia- ble state. The evidence clearly proved that the capital offence had been committed, and that prisoner took the part in it for W];d1 she was indicted. After a careful summing up by the Judge (Coltinan), the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Gwlty and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. The prisoner, addressing the judge, said, "Thank you, that won't hurt me."
