HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY,…
HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30. I SCIN'DE. Mr. Hume wished to ask whether any decision had been come to on the subject of the plunder taken at fcjeinde, and whether any copy of the minutes of council would be laid before the House. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the question was still under discussion between the Exchequer and the Board of Control. Mr. Hume wished to know whether the order would go out with the next mail. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought it would. INCOME-TAX ABUSES. I On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. Fielden called attention to the treatment which he and others had regeived under the Property Tax Act, and moved for certain returns connected therewith. It appeared that the hon. member's establishment at Oldham had been assessed to the property-tax at 1:24,000 per annum. Upon appeal the commissioners, when he was not present, had reduced it to £ 12,000, which was far greater than it ought to be. He had sought every means of redress, but in rain, and novv brought the subject before the House. He had offered to produce his books, showing his dividends of profits with his partners; hut without availing themselves of this means of ascertaining the real facts, the com- missioners, in his absence, decided against his appeal, and his goods were levied upon for the assessment on a profit of £12,000. Mr. Williams expressed his belief that this. only one of a thousand similar cases. The Chancellor of .the Exchequer regretted the incon- venience to which the hon. gentleman had been sub- jected, but that inconvenience was chiefly to be attri- buted to that boasted British viitue of resistance to oppression upon which the hon. gentleman had acted to an extent which others might think scarcely prudent, and which at all events had led to the annoyances of which he complained. He did not see how the House could relieve birii-all the proceedings were regular and legal, and even though the commissioners might have come to an unjust decision, yet Government were bound hand and foot by the provisions of the act, and however they might regret they could not assist the hon. gentle- man. Mr. Hawes said the result of all this injustice would be, that such a feeling would be created throughout the country that Parliament would be compelled to repeal the tax. Mr. Hume said the income-tax was, he assumed, an experiment on the part of the right hon. baronet with a view to ascertain how far direct might be substituted for indirect taxation; but in order to try the experiment fairly, it should not be clogged with impediments which created injustice and oppression, as in the case of the hqn. member for Oldham. I After some further conversation, Mr. Fielden withdrew I his motion. I RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. Mr. Bcrnal called attention to the recent accidents on railwavs, and contended that where parties were deriv- ing large profits from them the public had a right to ex- pect that every attention should be devoted to the safety of those who travelled by them. Sir R. Peel, amidst repeated cheers, said that the railway directors were bound to protect the public. It was no answer, when accidents occurred, to say that in coach travelling accidents were more frequent-they should seek to have no accidents at all. If railway pro- prietors failed in making proper provision for the safety of the public, he was satisfied that Parliament would not hesitate to diminish their profits, with a view to provide more efifcaciolisly for the security of the lives of those whom they conveyed. NATIONAL DEFENCES. Lord Palmerston stated some circumstances of mis- management on the Dover line which had come under his own observation after which he called attention to the state of our national defences. It was true, he said, that we were on the best terms with France, but it was to be recollected, nevertheless, that France had an army of 350,000 men—a large naval force, particularly in war steamers-that a steam bridge might be thrown across the Channel without any difficulty should the present good understanding unhappily be broken, which it might any month in the year, and that in such an event we were powerless for resistance. The noble lord argued at some length for the necessity of calling out our militia as usual for the full period of twenty-eight days, by which course we might reckon upon a force of .50,000 men, if requisite, in case of an invasion, at an expense of only £ 40,000; and he also contended for the necessity of taking a larger vote than the one already agreed to for the construction of harbours of refuge. Sir R. Peel said that this was a subject which from a sense of public duty he would not discuss in that House. There was no advantage in displaying to the world the extent of our resources but he would say this-that if a just war were to call forth the energies of the British nation, there never was a period in which she could make a more powerful demonstration than at the present mo- ment. With respect to the harbours of refuge, he was of opinion that they should proceed, as they were pro- ceeding, cautiously. With resp/ct to the calling out of the militia, he hoped the House would not press him to state the intentions of the Government. He would only say that he thought, in the present state of society in this country, that the present militia laws were not in any way adapted to it. He did not think that we should be running a race of rivalry, not of commerce and civili- zation, but of military display, with France, or any other power, though he admitted that it was a nice point to judge where the necessity of preparation for self-defence terminated. Lord Palmerston said he had suggested no rivalry of military power with other nations. He had only referred to the great military power of France, and its means of descent by steam bridges. Sir R. Peel said it was to be recollected that steam bridges were available to both parties, and that we had steam bridges also. Lord Palmerston.—Yes, but we have not an army. Sir C. Napier said that we were not so defenceless as the noble lord supposed, if it were really true, as he understood it to be, that in addition to 30,000 regular troops in England, we could at any moment call out 50,000 serviceable pensioners, who had fought our battles in the Peninsula and elsewhere. In reply to a question from Mr. J. A. Smith, Sir R. Peel said he had read the accounts, received that morning, of the calamity by fire at Quebec—a calamity which involved four-fifths of the town in destruction and he thought the House should show its sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers. He would, before the final close of the committee of supply, propose a vote for their relief. NEW ZEALAND. A debate ensued on the estimates for this colony, from which it appeared that negotiations between the New Zealand Company and the Colonial-office are again in progress. On a vote for the repairs of St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, a general feeling was expressed that it ought to be removed. STATUE TO OLIVER CROMWELL. The next vote was E20,000 for statues in the new houses of Parliament. Mr. Williams hoped that amongst the illustrious rulers of this country to whom statues were to be erected, Cromwell would not be forgotten. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Cromwell was as worthy of remembrance by the people of this country as Napoleon was by the people of France. Less crime and less cruelty could be brought home to him than to any one who had attained such renown as a warrior and statesman. Mr. Hutt could assure his hon. friend who had pronoun- ced so eloquent an eulogium on Cromwell, that it was currently reported that a statue to his hen. friend's favourite ruler was not excluded from the list of those about to be erected. Mr. Williams I am very glad to hear it. (A laugh.) Amongst other votes, that necessary to carry out the new navy arrangements passed: after which the House adjourned. THURSDAY, JULY 31. I On the bringing up of the report on the Brazilian Slave Trade Bill. Mr. Milner Gibson reiterated his objections to the measure, and asked if it were not a fact that the Bra- zilian Minister in this country had protested against it ? Sir R. Peel, after defending the bill, admitted that the Brazilian Minister had protested against the measure, though he did not think that a sufficient reason for delay- ing it. When an answer had been given to the protest, both documents would be laid on the table of the House. The only other measure on which a noticeable dis- cussion arose was on the Waste Lands Australian Bill, which, having come down from the Lords as applicable to the different Australian colonies, has been now reduced to a single clause, relating to Van Diemen's Land ex- clusively. Mr. Hawes considered that they could take other measures to provide for the prosperity of Van Diemen's Land, and supply employment for the population. The admission of the corn of the colony duty free into this country, as recommended by Sir E. Wilmot, would benefit both. He moved the committal of the bill that day three months. After a short debate the amendment was rejected by 35 to 7. In committee, Mr. Hawes again urged his objections. At this moment the price of wheat in this country was rising, while we refused to admit duty free the produce of a colony admirably adapted for agriculture, and for the relief of which we were contriving the present expedient. Sir J. Graham urged the importance of providing employment on the waste lands of the colony for the convict population. Mr. Villiers thought that all opposition to the bill would be withdrawn if the Government would give them the assurance that next session the corn of the colony would be admitted duty free. He called on the agri- cultural members to express their opinion on the subject. No answer was made to this appeal, and the bill went through committee. The Chancellor of the "Exchequer having briefly stated the details of the two great fires which have de- solated Quebec, and given utterance to the feelings of sympathy which the calamity excited, proposed, in a committee of the whole House, an address to the Crown, that a sum of F,20,000 be applied to the relief of the inhabitants, assuring her Majesty, in the usual form, that this House will make good the same." After a few remarks from Mr. Hawes, Sir R. H. Ihglis, and Sir H. Douglas, the address was unani- mously agreed to. The remaining routine business was then disposed of. FlUJUAi, AUG. 1. I Mr. Ward moved that the London and York Railway Bill be re-committed, on the ground that the promoters of the Biggleswade line, the Midland Extension, and the York and North Midland Extension lines had not been allowed to bring their cases fully before the committee. Lord Courtenav maintained that the committee had exercised a proper discretion, and that their decision ought to be supported. Mr. Baring Walt reminded the House that there was one individual who had 600 miles of railway under his own control, and that became an element in the question for their consideration. He (Mr. B. Wall) wished to see carried out another great line of communication between London and York, as distinguished from the line passing through the country known as Hudsonia. (Hear, hear," and laughter.) On a division the amendment was rejected by a majority of 60, and the report was received. On the second reading of the Exchequer Bills Bill, Lord Palmerston adverted to the present condition of Greece, in the prosperity of which this country was largely interested. The expectations that Greece, as an independent kingdom, would advance in civilisation, had, unfortunately, not been realised. A political intrigue had set aside the minister to whom had been delegated the task of carrying out the provisions of the constitution, and M. Coletti was now pursuing a totally different policy. The liberty of the press was trampled oil revolting tyranny was practised; the country was disorganised; and it, revenues being recklessly squan- dered, the interest of the debt remained unpaid. The excesses committed by the banditti on the frontiers would in all probability lead to political complications which this country might find it difficult to assuage. He called on the Government to interfere, by strong representations, so as to restore order and peace, and thus secure to Greece the full beneiits of that constitu- tional freedom which had been guaranteed to it. Sir R. Peel admitted the peculiar interest of this country in the prosperity of Grtece, both as one of the powers which created its independence, and also as a national creditor. But it was also necessary to recollect that we had guaranteed self-government to Greece, with which we should be cautious of interfering. We had the abstract right of seizing portions of the Greek territory, in order to secure and provide for the payment of the debt due to us but the exercise of such a right might bring on a crisis fatal to the independence of the country, and the existence of that popular power which we have been instrumental in creating. Pronouncing an eulogium on General Church, he denied that the just influence of England could ever be permanently impaired in any country, so long as we pursued the strict line of international justice; if any country had been successful in producing the present condition of Greece, he wished it joy of that species of influence. We certainly did not enjoy any foreign influence founded on mischievous interference; but if the noble lord I affirmed that our just influence was never lower than it was now, he met that asseveration by a denial, though, considering the period of the session, and the state of the House, he would follow the noble lord's example, and furnish no proof of his affirmation. The formal business having been all gone through, the House rose at an early hour. I SATURDAY, AUGUST 2. I The house met at 2 o'clock, when The Lords' Amendments to the Duddleston and Nechels improvement (No. 2) Bill were read and agreed to. The Exchequer-bills ( £ 9,024,900) Bill, and the Silk Weavers Bill, went through committee, the reports to be received on Monday. The House went into committee on the Consolidated Fund Bill, when Mr. Cardwell brought up the usual appropriation clauses, which were agreed to, and inserted in the bill. The report was ordered to be received on Monday. The Waste Lands (Australia) Bill, and the Fees (Cri- minal Proceedings) Bill, were read a third time and passed. I MONDAY, AUG. 4. The House met shortly before Four o'clock. Mr. Hawes presented a petition from the Chairman of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company against the London and York Railway Bill, representing that many of the names on the subscription list were those of paupers and many of them were forgeries. He moved that the petition be printed. The motion, which was opposed by Mr. B. Dennison, Mr. Ward, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. Darby, and supported by Mr. Roebuck, was agreed to. Mr. B. Dennison then moved the third reading of the Bill. Mr. Roebuck moved that it be read a third time that day three months. The amendment, which was supported by Mr. Hawes and opposed by Mr. W. Patten, Mr. B. Dennison and Mr. Ward, was negatived, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Escott gave notice of a motion for next session, for the admission of Indian corn duty free. Sir R. Peel gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move the adjournment of the House till Friday. Mr. Smythe postponed, till next session, his motion on Portendic. In answer to Sir R. Inglis, it was stated by Sir R. Peel, that the subject of the propriety of rebuilding Westminster-bridge was under the consideration of Go- vernment. In answer to Mr. Christie, Sir J. Graham said that the Brazilian pirates condemned at Exeter were respited, in order to give time to have the legality of the convic- tion argued. Mr. G. W.Hope, in answer to Mr. P. Howard, said negotiations were still going on between the Govern- ment and the New Zealand Company. After a few words from Lord Palmerston on the sub- ject of the causes of the recent accident on the Dover Railway, and from Mr. Tufnell and Sir J. Graham on the case of John Mayes, supposed to hav&e been impro- perly convicted of felony, Mr. Moffatt asked whether the new Houses of Parlia- ment would be ready by 1847 ? Lord Lincoln said the Committee-rooms would be,but not the Hall. Sir James Graham, in answer to Lord Ebrington, said that measures had been taken to prevent the recurrence of such revolting scenes as had occurred at the Spa- fields burying-ground. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. M. Gibson rose for the purpose of drawing the attention of the House to the state of our relations with Brazil, and also to the question of encouraging the immigration of labourers into the West Indies. A brief discussion ensued, but Sir R. Peel declining to enter into the matter at any length, the subject dropped. Mr. Hawes then brought forward his motion respect- ing the conduct of Mr. Wray, which led to a long dis- cussion, in the course of which the House was addressed l -NV. Pttten, Lord John by Sir J. Graham, Ir. Sheil, Ir, W. Patten, Lord John Russell, and Sir R. Peel, but ultimately the motion was rejected, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past 11 o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY,…
HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, JULY 31. I Some conversation arose on a motion by the Earl of Besborough, respecting a prosecution of Stinton, the witness, for alleged perj ury before the Committee of Inquiry on the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill. As a doubt was started whether the evidence furnished was enough to ensure a conviction, without leaving legal loopholes in the indictment, a committee was appointed to examine the report and advise the House. GREECE AND TURKEY. I The Earl of Aberdeen, in reply to Lord Beaumount, made a short statement on the affairs of Greece, empha- tically denying that the legitimate influence of England was declining, or could be superseded either by France or Russia. The disturbances on the frontiers, though deplorable, were partly inevitable, owing to the turbulent and half-civilised character of the population, who were robbers by nature and education, but the extent of the disturbances had been much exaggerated. The pa- ternal relations of England with Greece entitled us to feel and take an interest in i:s prosperity. But one great evil in that country was the fact that parties were divided into English, French, and Russian, while the far more important matter of creating a Greek party was neglected. The business before the House was mostly routine, and was all disposed of with but little discussion. FRIDAY, AUG. 1. I The Earl of Besborough brought up the report of the select Committee appointed to inquire into the case of John Stinton, to the effect that, though it appeared that the said John Stinton had wilfully contradicted himself the committee were not of opinion that it would be expedient to prosecute him. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2. [ The House met to-day at 2 o'clock, the Earl of Shaftesbury presiding in the absence of the Lord Chan- cellor. On the motion of the Earl of Dalhousie, the Customs Laws Repeal Bill, the Customs Management Bill, the Customs Regulation Bill, the Smuggling Prevention Bill, the Shipping and Navigation Bill, the British Vessels Bill, the Customs Duties Bill, the Warehousing of Goods Bill, the Customs Bounties and Allowances Bill, the Trade of British Possessions Abroad Bill, the Isle of Man Trade Bill, and the Coal Trade (Port of London) Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. Messengers from the House of Commons, consisting of Mr. Green, Lord Sandon, Lord Ashley, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Brotherton, with other members of the Commons, brought up several bills, with the Lords' amendments agreed to. The Eastern Counties Railway (Cambridge to Huntingdon) Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Lord Redesdale, the house was ad- journed to Monday, at 3 o'clock. MONDAY, AUG. 4. I The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the South Wales, and Monmouth and Hereford Railway Bill, and to several other Bills. Lord Stanley moved the third reading of the Taxing Masters Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill. The Earl of Wicklow moved, as an amendment, that all persons to be appointed under the Bill should be solicitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, who should have been in practice for the space of ten years or upwards." The amendment, which was supported by Lord Cot- tenham, Lord Campbell, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and Lord Langdale, and opposed by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Stanley, and the Earl of St. Germans, was carried by a majority of 6, the numbers being-19 for the amendment and 13 against it. In answer to Earl Fortescue, it was stated by Lord Stanley that the execution of the persens convicted at Exeter of the murder of Mr. Palmer and some of the crew of the Wasp, had been respited, in order that the opinion of the judges might be taken on the point of law raised at the trial. The County Rates Bill was read a third time. The Duke of Richmond moved that the Portsmouth Railway (Atmospheric) Bill be recommitted. The recommittal was opposed by the Marquis of Northampton a long discussion ensued, and eventually the amendment was carried; shortly after which their Lordships adjourned.

SNOW IN JULY !-On Tuesday morning the surface of country between Bangor and Bethesda, for an extent of three miles at least, was covered with snow to the depth of three inches and upwards.- Chester Chronicle. REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF IRO-i.At the monthly meeting of ironmasters, held here last Wednes- day, it was resolved to reduce the price of pig-iron 15s. per ton, making it now 65s., which, with the usual dis- count and commission, will nearly net the rates which holders have been selling the article at for some time past. -Glasgow paper. RAILWAY BUSINESS AND B.NKINO.-It will give some idea of the immense extent to which banking transactions have recently increased, in consequence of railway business, when we state that the amount sent to the clearing-house recently, by one firm in Lombard- street, was E2,500,000 and, as nearly the same amount would be drawn upon them, this gives the enormous sum of E-5,000,000 for the business of one firm in one day Under ordinary circumstances, the amount sent to the clearing-house by any of the largest bankers, did not exceed £ 1,000,000 daily.—Bankers' Magazine. RAILWAY Accil)E;T.-An accident ocurred on the Eastern Counties Railway, on Monday, to the train leaving town for Norwich, at half past eleven o'clock, a.m., by which the fireman on the train lost his life and one of the guards was seriously injured. From some cause which cannot at present be clearly ascertained the engine was thrown off the rails when passing over the embankment near Wendon, about 12 miles below Cambridge. It is thought that one of the wedges having started from its position was the cause of the accident. The engine and tender were thrown over upon the up- line of rails, and the trucks, with the passengers' luggage, and some of the carriages were very much broken. Most providentially none of the passengers were injured. The fireman was thrown under the engine and killed upon the spot. One of the guards had his leg broken, and the engine driver, or superin- tendent of the engine department, was much shaken by the concussion. FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday, the 27th ult., an accident of a truly terrific character occurred to Mr. George Graham, of Mabin hall. his wife and daughter, and the infant child of the latter, while returning in a shandry from Caton, near Lancaster, to Hevershani, While stopping to pay the toll at the penny toll bridge, which stands at an immense height over the river Lune, the horse suddenly became restive and ungovernable, and, to the horror of the party, backed the shandry to the brink of an awful precipice. There was time for nothing but a sensation of inconceivable horror before the horse, vehicle, and passengers were tumbled over the height to the depth of twenty-seven feet. In falling the shandry came in contact with a projection of earth which jutted out at the depth of six feet, when the whole of the partv were thrown out of the vehicle by the shock to the bottom, and the horse with the shandry was thrown backwards, feet upwards, and appeared to be flying in the aii-. The animal was projected a consi- derable distance, and was killed on the spot, but Mr. Graham and his family found themselves uninjured by the fall. The baby, a little girl, not six weeks old, was picked up at some distance from its mother among the pebbles, covercd with straw from the shandry, but quite safe although the child s little bonnet was nearly torn to pieces. The escape altogether was almost mi- raculous.— Westmoreland Gazette. SLAVE HUNT.—A rather dangerous insurrection had taken place amongst the slaves, in Maryland, which had, however, been subdued. The following are extracts from the papers :-The number of slaves who entered into the combination to escape is stated at 1UO or more. They they came from three counties in Maryland—Prince George's, Charles, and St. Mary. They were led by a resolute negro, and were all armed with bludgeons and clubs. They crossed the eastern branch bridge, on their way through Montgomery, and for Pennsylvania. The movement of so large a body of men spread consterna- tion among the people. This alarm reached Washing- ton, where Colonel Henderson had the marines at the garrison, and the navy-yard, under arms all the night of the 7th, and arms were given out to members of the Anacostia Fire Company, who volunteered their services to give chase to the coloured fugitives The Washing- ton Union subsequently adds, We learn that a gang of 3S of these negroes were discovered on the Fre- derick-road, about a fourth of a mile beyond Rockville. The negroes left the turnpike, striking into the woods, and were followed closely by a Captain Jackson and six men, who, with the rest of the citizens, were all mounted. Captain Jackson and his companions soon reached them. and called out to them to surrender, which they refused to do and, closing their ranks, commenced snapping pistols, with which many of them were armed, at their pursuers. Finding that their arms could not be dis- charged, they commenced an assault with stones and bludgeons, when Jackson fired and wounded one slightly. The whole body then retreated to a ria-aiiip oil the other side of the field. Soon afterwards, the main body of the citizens joined their companions, and charging into the swamp, Hred a volley on the runaways, which wounded eight—four .ser i ous  2S immedi- eight-four .erioljly, and one dangerous; 28 immedi- ately surrendered, and the rest made off. Those who could walk were secured with ropM, and marched into RockvUle, and lodged in the county pol. The wounded were conveyed there in a waggon. By last night, eight others have been secured and lodged in the gaol with their companions. The rest are probably re-taken ere this. Some of the negroes say that there is another gang of 30 out, but others deny the statement." SHI)ES.-One hint let us give to all. The secret of a well-fitting shoe, or rajier of a well-looking shoe-atid it is upon this principle that the French shoemakers go, but all English cobblers do not-is, that it should be much longer than the foot itself—at least an inch and an half longer. And for these two reasons—first, that since a squat, broad, dumpy foot is much uglier than a long thin one, you may always diminish the appearance of breadth by adding to the reality of length and next, when the shoes are long the toes have plenty of room, and commonly 'tis here" the shoe pinches." No one has corns on his heel or on the side of his feet, let his shoes or boots be narrow as he can well bear them it is upon thee poor pent-up, imprisoned, distorted joints of the toes that the rubs of the world come, and the corn- ing process goes on.—Blackwood's Magazine.-
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.…
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. We believe we may now confidently state that Parlia- ment will be prorogued not later than on Saturday next. If by any exertion the business of the session can be dispatched before, the prorogation will take place on Thursday, the 7th instant. Her Majesty will, it is expected, embark upon her continental tour in the evening of the same day, whether the House be dismissed on Thursday or Saturday.- Times. At the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Assizes, Mr. Addison Potter, son of the mayor of that town, was convicted of a gross assault on Mr. Hernaman, the proprietor of the Newcastle Journal. The French papers state that Louis Philippe, by an order in council, has sanctioned the immediate com- missioning of 10 out of 17 steamers which have been built by virtue of the law of the 16th of July, 1840, avowedly for the purpose of establishing transatlantic lines of correspondence. Six of these are of 450-horse power each, and the remaining four of 220, The first six were eighteen months ago ordered by the Minister of Marine to be kept in readiness either for the tran- sport of the mails, or in a case of emergency to act as war steamers. Signs of the impression made by the progress of sound principles on the ministerial members of the House of Commons have been given by Mr. Southeron, M. P., at a Wiltshire Agricultural Festival. He spoke of the ultimate success of free-trade as no longer doubtful, and told both landlords and tenants to put their houses in order." A few years more, and another election will, Mr. Sotheron unwillingly thinks, termi- nate the protective system. The Circuits are in progress but, if we except the trial of the slave-traders at Exeter, without as yet pro- ducing any instance of enormous or shocking crime, though yielding forth a superabundance of guilt of inferior dye. The quarrel between the bar of the Ox- ford and Western Circuits and the press, has very pro- perly induced the daily journals to suppress in their re- ports of the proceedings of those circuits the mention of any barrister's name; so that the bars are likely to lose in every point by the absurd and ridiculous course they have adoptel.-A tl(ls. So great are the misery and suffering produced by the two devastations at Quebec, that the Canadian Par- liament has voted E20,000 in aid of the suffering colo- nists-a wise and generous vote that will not be lost on the French Canadians. Complaints are made that the voluntary subscriptions set on foot have not come up to the expectations formed by their promoters or by the necessities of the case. The explanation of this is, we suppose, that between Quebec and England there is little connexion for Montreal is the commercial as well as the political capital of Canada, and gradually Quebec is sinking in importance. The Morning Chronicle states that meetings of all the principal landed proprietors in the kingdom are about to be held to devise some plan for guarding their property, and maintaining its value against the competition of rail- ways and that, where practicable, it is intended to pro- pose that the canals shall be converted into railways. The Provost of Eton, in the College Chapel on Sunday last, has, it is stated, made a bold, positive, and uncom- promising declaration of hostility against the Tracta- rian party. Somewhat late. Benjamin Ellison has been convicted at Bodmin of the murder of Mrs. Seaman, at Penzance, with whom he had been living for some time, whereupon Mr. Justice Erie sentenced him to be hanged. The Governors of the Charter-house met yesterday to appoint two new Governors in the places of Earl Grey and Lord Canterbury. Their choice fell on the Duke of BlIccleuch and Lord Devon. The Levant mail brings intelligence of the collision of two Turkish steamers in the Black Sea, by which 135 lives were lost. Sir R. Price was returned for the city of Hereford on Thursday, without opposition. A Mrs. King, who takes the title of the lion queen," has been exhibiting her daring at Glasgow, by going into the dens of the lions and tigers at Wombwell's menagerie, and compelling them to obey her like so many tamed animals. Duke Charles of Wurtemburg has lent the printers of Stuttgardt his palace in that city for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing. The Art Union of London are about to offer a pre- mium of f-500 for a group in marble, to be competed for by models in clay, the size of the intended work. They must be sent in by the 1st of July, 1846, and the work finished in marble by the 1st of July, 1847 E200 will be paid when the premium is adjudged, and the re- mainder on completion. James Balfour, Esq., of Haddington and London, de- ceased, has left in the diocese of Canterbury personal property to the amount of £80,000, and in Scotland upwards of a million sterling. The London papers state, that Mr. Lumlev has managed his affairs so well at Her Majesty's Theatre, that he has become the proprietor of that splendid establishment. It is also said that he is the principal proprietor of the Morning Post newspaper. The proprietors of the London newspapers are con- templating the increase of the price of their papers from 5d. to 6d., owing to the increased expenses of their enlarged papers. Charles Dickens has returned from Italy. It is rumoured that he will immediately bring out Letters from Italy," in two volumes. There are rumours also of a new work from his pen,—a monthly issue, like "Pickwick," in which the chief story will be that of two English families who travel on the continent, one family not being able to get along for want of knowing any language but their own. Mr. Brunei is said to have devised a new railway engine, to run fifty miles an hour, and to work on eight driving wheels. In the House of Lords' committee on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, Lord Redesdale was examined, last week, on behalf of the parties against the line, and gave a very conclusive reason against its formation. He said it would go through a fox- hunting country and would, therefore, inconvenience sportsmen Gibson's statue of Mr. Huskisson, for the town of Liverpool, is now casting at the royal foundry of Munich. A person in the county of Bucks has about 250 hives of bees this year; he imagines they will clear him £-100. His plan is this he has four or five hives at a cottage, for which he pays 2s. per year for each hive standing, and Is. for a swarm he has them standing from 10 to 15 miles round him one house in London takes all his honey his hives are all on the cottage plan. Mr. Joseph Andrews, hatter, Mansfield, has now in his possession a watch which hsjs been in his family for nearly 200 years. It was made early in the reign of Charles II, and bears date 1650. The present owner s grandfather wore the watch seventy years, and it is now in good condition, and keeps time exceedingly well. The Leeds Mercury mentions a railway speculator who was so well sweated with anxiety about the ups and downs of the share market, that he lost a stone of flesh in a fortnight. The annual soiree of the Manchester Athenaeum will take place in October next, under the presidency of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, the distinguished author of "Ion," supported by a host of noble and celebrated individuals. The monster bell was safely suspended in its destined elevated position, in York Cathedral, on Wednesday se'n- night, after fifteen hours' labour. A belt, or bandage of any convenient kind, worn tight round the body, is said to be an effectual preventive of sea sickness. Several instances of its utility have been related by parties known. Woodchester Park estate, Gloucestershire, which has been in the market some time, has at last been sold to a Mr. Simmonds, a gentleman residing in the manufac- turing districts in the north of England. He is a Liberal in politics, and a free trader. The purchase money is about 150,000 guineas. We understand considerable improvements on the estate are contemplated. The Directors of the Bank of England have contributed F,100 to the National Testimonial to Mr. Rowland Hill. —♦ -——————

ISDYA AND CHINA.—By the arrival of the Times express in anticipation of the India mail, we have received intelligence from Calcutta to the 9th, Madras to the 11th, and Bombay to the 20th of June, and from China to the 6th of May. Cholera has been very prevalent in Bombay and Poonali it has also raged in Lahore to a fearful extent. The letters from Lahore repeat the announcement of the appointment of the Sirdar Jowahir Singh to be Prime Minister, and the retirement of Gholab Singh to his fortress of Jamoo. Prince Peshora Singh is stated to be in rebellion against the authorities at Lahore. The attack on Peshawur has been abandoned by Dost Mahomed and his son. The Governor-General remained in Calcutta, but it was expected he would proceed in October to the north-west provinces. From China we learn that a riot had taken place at Victoria it had been suppressed without much difficulty. The British troops had been withdrawn from Kolungsoo, in accordance with the terms of our treaty, on the 23d of March, and the Chinese had taken possession. A somewhat strange occurrence had taken place. An English merchant having built a vessel of seventy tons, gave the command it to a Chinese named Fowqua, to enable him to Umy a species of black mail on the native smuggling PBkts engaged in the opium trade. Suspicions were excited. Fowqua was seized, tortured, and denounced a hundred persons as being implicated in the transac- tion. The only other event since the departure of the last mail was a mutiny on board an English ship. The mate and gunner of the Ariel," having on board upwards of 100,000 dollars, conspired to seize her, but were ultimately defeated. The mate was killed, and the gunner wounded. BEAUTY soon fades," says the ancient adage and the preservation of a gift so fair yet so fragile becomes an object of first-rate necessity and importance. No surer foes to beauty no cause calculated more certainly to dim its lustre and and hasten its decay exist, than those which affect the skin, and, by inducing Freckles, Tan, Sun-burns, and the long list of Cutaneous evils, shorten the triumphs of the fair one, and bring her em- pife to a premature termination. It is fortunate, that modern ingenuity and perseverance have discovered a remedy for those evils, and that a specific has been dis- covered, composed of choice exotics culled by the hand of science and skill, which affords a safeguard against the dreadful result. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR needs only to be mentioned, to ensure in its praise, the suffrages of the Fair Sex, andjthe general encomium of the public. —See Advert.
|SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. I
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. I To the Editor of the Welshman." Grays Inn, 28th July, 1945. SIR,-Our attention having been just directed to the report contained in the Standard paper of Friday last, of the proceedings in the Committee of the House of Lords upon this Bill, we observe an inadvertent inaccu- racy, which, as solicitors for Sir Richard Bulkeley Philipps, we trust you will have the goodness to correct. It is stated that Sir Richard Philipps was decided to have no locus standi, &e. Now, as this Railway will intersect his estates to the extent of between three and four miles, it is evident that the Reporter must have mistaken the grounds of the decision of the Committee. The facts are these—Sir Richard, though objecting to the Railway on certain grounds (which it is not necesary here to enter into) connected with his desire that it should afford greater facilities to Pembrokeshire than it now proposes to do, had no wish unnecessarily to delay or risk the Bill at this late period of the session by a protracted opposition. His Counsel (Mr. Serjeant Wrangham, Mr. Wilkins, and Mr. Merewether) there- fore, after a short cross-examination cf the three first witnesses, solely for the purpose of shewing to the Committee the nature and grounds of his opposition to the Bill, rendered the examination of further witnesses for the Bill unnecessary, by stating that, with a view as well to save the time of the Committee as to avoid all appearance of a factious opposition, they would at con- siderable disadvantage to their client's personal interest state shortly the case they intended to prove, and leave it to the Committee to decide whether if this case were made out they would feel disposed to recommend the adoption of the alterations in the line he had suggested. The Committee after having retired for a few minutes stated their opinion to be that they could not adopt the suggested alterations. Upon this intimation of the opinion of the Committee, the Counsel for Sir Richard Philipps announced that all further opposition was withdrawn, and the preamble was then immediately passed. W- e remain, Sir, Your obedient servants, H.ANKEN, FORD, LONGBOURNE, & VICKEUMAN.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] RAILWAY COMMUNICATION…
[ADVERTISEMENT.] RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE SOUTH OF IRELAND. To the Editor of the" Welshman." SIR,—Having perceived with much interest, from time to time, your very copious reports of Railway meetings and Railway contests in Parliamentary committees, I have been induced to trespass upon your columns in offering a few observations upon some of the projects for the most speedy communication between England and the south of Ireland. Amidst the schemes to accomplish this object, none have been brought forward with such high pretensions as the South Wales Railway to Fish- guard, and the 'more recently projected Gloucester and Central Wales Railway, so fully detailed in your last paper. Both these lines, however, do not appear to answer the desired end to the fullest extent, as one runs too far north, and the other winds its tortuous course too far south from a direct line drawn from London to Wex- ford. A far better line, it is well known, was projected in the year 1836, but owino- to the failure of the projector it was abandoned, and it cannot but be a matter of regret in the present day of railway enterprise that this dormant project has not been taken up by the parties. The Welsh Midland Railway, however, occupies a portion of the same route as the above line, and although it was not projected solely for the purpose of communication with Ireland, it could by some slight alterations and extensions (for which, it is stated the projectors have amply pro- vided in their contracts ) be so adapted as to -fulfil all the purposes intended to have been accomplished by the England and Ireland Union Railway. In choosing the best line it must be obvious to every one that the line which otfers not only the shortest dis- tance, but also would OCCUPY THE SHORTEST TIME in passing from London to Wexford, ought to be preferred before all others, particularly if such line would also have the shortest sea passage. Taking the average speed of transit by railway at 30 miles per hour, and of steam- ers by sea, at 10 miles per hour, the following table will serve to point out the most advantageous line, and to expose some of the fallacies put forth by rival pro- jectors SRI 'Nliles by transit.

London through Hereford, ) Brecon, Llaudoveiv, 8c Vale i <>>*» 60 2i>c80 ri 13 "8 of Teivy, to Fishguard and ( ;J Wexford. By the above it appears that the projected line through Hereford and Aberystwith, although one of the shortst in point of distance is the most disadvantageous route, owing to the long sea passage occupying in transit full half an hour more than the circuitous South Wales line were if the latter is compelled to pass through Gloucester. The South Wales line if allowed to cross the Severn at the Hock Crib would have 40 minutes advantage over the line through Aberystwyth, but would occupy 20 minutes longer time than a line through Hereford and New Quay, which is the shortest of the whole, although this as well as all the others must yield to the superior advantages of the route through Hereford and the vales of Towy and of Teivy to Fishguard, the former of which would save one hour and eight minutes, and the latter nearly an hour and a half in time, and no less than 48 miles in distance over the Great Western and South Wales line through Gloucester, to Fishguard. The London and Hereford direct line in conjunction with the Weish Midland to Carmarthen and thence by the South Wales to Fishguard, form a line unequalled in point of time and of transit distance between the Metro- polis and our sister isle and as regards public utility this line would rank amongst the most important in the British empire. Should it however be objected that the break of guage at Carmarthen in passing through the South Wales broad gauge to the Welsh Midland narrow one, would be a drawback to the line above traced—the remedy is at hand by the Welsh Midland, instead of making its Western Terminus at Carmarthen, pushing forth a vigorous branch from the vale of Towy through the vale of Teivy to Fishguard, and so saving about 14 miles distunce, and preserving a uniform narrow guage from Fishguard^ to London. The Welsh Midland has sufficient capital subscribed to carry out such an extension, and it will be well for its d irectors to take the subject into their most serious consideration so as to secure to the country the best line from the south of Ireland to the midland counties of England as well as to London and the eastern parts of the kingdom. Trusting that these remarks may meet the eyes of some of the parties interested, I have the honour to remain, Sir, your most humble servant, GlanTeivy Juh'l?tl 1o. CEREDIU. Glan Teivy, July 12th, 1845.

To the Editor of the Welshman. Sin,—The perusal of your general remarks last week on the transfer of commonage rights, the rights o the poor to the rich, recalled to my mind the following rllsto- r ical fact: In 1513, the apprentices of London, think- inij that the inhabitants of Islington, Hoxton, and Sllore- ditch, had too much limited their usual places of exercise and recreation, by enclosing their grounds, determined to right themselves, and, on a signal being given by a man in disguise, who ran through the s rei s crjmg, 'Spades! sl)ades" they rushed in a body with proper instruments, to the devoted parishes, and levelled every fence." —-

CORSS AND BUNIONS,—" Paul's Every Man's Friend, for the cure of Corns and Bunions, has been so long before the public, and so highly approved of, that it is scarcely necessary to say any thiii in its praise. We can say that, where the directions have been properly at- tended to, we have never known it to fail in giving relief, and in most cases has proved a complete cure, without any of the painful and dangerous operations of cutting and filing so generally made use of by Corn Doctors, who style themselves Chiropodists." HOLLOWAY'S OINTNIrNT.-Woziderful cure of scro- fula or king's evil.—-Mr. C. Brook, residing at Stra- dishall, Suffolk, had the whole of his breast in one frightful mass of scrofulous sores and ulcers, besides similar large ulcers on his hip. He had been thus afflicted for ten years. He had been uuder the greatest surgeons in the country, and was for a considerable time at Worcester llospitai, without receiving the least bene- fit. He has, however, just been radically cured by the means alone of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, after every other means had failed. Loss OF TFETif.-In consequence of the complete or even partial ruin of the teeth, the face shrinks. The countenance assumes a different expression and wrinkles will prematurely furrow the face the only remedy fur this is to supply the loss with Artificial Teeth, thereby restoring clear articulation, perfect mastication and preventing the hollow and shrunken cheeks, the thin and contracted lip so characteristic of old age. The new Incorrodible Teeth introduced by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 64, Bcrners-Street, Oxford-Street, London, most fully answer this purpose, and are fixed without extracting any roots or teeth, or giving any pain whatever. They will also be found much more eco- nomical than any others.

AGRICULTURE, MARKETS, &e.,
AGRICULTURE, MARKETS, &e., (From the Mark Lane Express" of Monday). We have been at considerable pains to collect infor- mation respecting the actual state of the wheat plant; the reports on this subject arc, however, so extremely conflicting as to render the task of estimating the inj ury sustained one of no ordinary difficulty, and we are forced to confess that we have hitherto been unable to arrive at a definite conclusion. The complaints of blight have rather increased than diminished, particularly from those counties where the crop is most forward. In many parts of Essex and Kent the mischief likely to result from this cause is too apparent to be longer questioned, and we fear that as the plant progresses to maturity in the more backward districts, similar defects in the ear will be found to exist. The continuance of wet, cold weather has naturally occasioned much excite- ment in the wheat trade enhanced rates have been demanded, and obtained, at all the principal provincial markets; at some places the advance has not exceeded Is. to 2s., but at others it has amounted to 3s., and at some places to 4s. per qr. The total rise from the lowest point, taking the kingdom collectively, may be estimated at 10s. per qr. at least: so important an advance must speedily effect the averages; and, from present appearances, a sixteen shillings duty is by no means improbable. Respecting the appearance of the Lenten sown crops the reports are still, on the whole, favourable. Barley has been more or less lodged by the rain and wind; but fine warm weather might, in a great measure, remedy the evil. Malt has excited a moderate degree of attention, and in partial instances somewhat enhanced terms have been obtained for the finer descrip- tions. With English and Scotch oats we have been scantily supplied; from Ireland the receipts have, however, been pretty extensive, and several cargoes having arrived from abroad, the display of samples has been fully sufficient to satisfy the demand. s. s. s. s.

During the past week, the imports of live stock from abroad for our markets have been on an extensive scale, they having amounted to 175 Oxen and Cows, together with 163 Sheeps, and 27 Calves, per the Columbine, Ba- tavier, and Giraffe steamers from Rotterdam, while the Caledonia has arrived from Hamburgh, having on board 50 Oxen. The oxen from Holstein fold at from £ 11 to £ 16 5s.; those from Jutland, £ 10w £ 13 each. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 700 Scots, homebreds, and short-horns from the northern districts, 200 short-horns, &c.; from the western and midland counties, 600 Ilerefords, Runts, Devons, Ic. from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 380 horned and polled Scots the remainder of the supply being derived from the neighourhood of the metropolis. For the time of year the numbers of Sheep were very limited, and their condition was by no means good. The primest old Downs were in steady request at full rates of currency, but all other kinds were a slow inquiry at barely sta- tionary prices.

Registry, Carmarthen, 29th July, 1845. ) PARR'S LIFE PILLS. rriHE extraordinary success of this medicine is the X wonder of the age it has been tried by hundreds of thousands as an aperient, and has in every instance done good it has never in the slightest degree impaired the most delicate constitution. Tens of thousands have testified that perseverance in the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS will completely cure any disease, and are living witnesses of the benefit received from this invaluable medicine.—Testimonials are received daily, but it would be impossible, in a newspaper, to publish one-half re- ceived; and the following are selected as people well- known in their respective neighbourhoods, and whose testimony is unquestionable. Further Sheets of Tes- timonials and the Life and Times of Old Parr" may be had gratis, of all Agents. The following Cases of Cure by Parr's Life Pills, are communicated by Mr. C. Rutter, Chemist and Druggist, Shaftesbury, Dorset, Agent for Parr's Pills. A respectable farmer residing near Shaftesbury, had for years been subject to the most distressing attacks of giddiness of the head, frequently attended with severe head-ache. The various medicines he used at different times, did him little or no good, till he was induced to give Parr's Pills a trial. The very first dose afforded much relief, and he has found them more serviceable than any other medicine he has taken he always resorts to them on finding any symptoms of the complaint coming on, and they invariably relieve him. The attacks have been much less frequent since taking Parr's Pills, and he believes by continuing their use his complaint will entirely leave him. Dated, April 26th, 1845. Copy of a letter addressed to C. Rutter, April 2 5th, 184-5. Sir,-I think it but right to inform vou of the wonderful cure performed by the box of Parr's Pills I purchased of you a short time ago. For more than nine months I had suffered most severely from Rheumatic Head-Ache. The pain was most severe, so much so, that I was often obliged to give up work entirely for days together. I had heard from many persons of the fame of Parr's Pills, and at the strong recommendation of a neighbour pur- chased a box at your shop. I am very thankful I ever heard of these wonderful pills, and should not grudge the money, even if they were a guinea a box for befawf I had taken half a box, the violent pain I had so loW, suffered entirely left me, nor have I had any return of it since, although it is now more than six months ago. I have no objection to your publishing this if you think proper, as I should wish other sufferers to obtain the ease I now enjoy; and I have so high an opinion of Parr's Pills, that I think they are worth a trial in almost every complaint. Yours, respectfully, E. IVILKT-NS. Champion Office, March 5th, 1845. Gentlemen.—I think it only fair to mention that a man named Scannon, residing in Sligo, porter to the Bianconi Car, on purchasing a box of your pills declared to me that for the last eight years he has suffered severely from a bad stomach, no food resting on it, and SWeUin -? often existing, and that after finishing one box at Is l?d he felt not only better but well; can now eat any lid and his appetite and spirits increase. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant. C. VLIRDOX.
