PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE—Fn the HOUSE OF LOR-DS, t-ist evening, after the presentation of a few peti. tious, Earl de Grey, in answer to a question from a Noble Friend on a former evening, said that Mr. Biddulpli had been struck out of the list of the Itish magistracy.— Lord Normanby, after blaming (he delay in this case, moved for a return of the correspondence relating thereto, and blamed the remisness of those whose duty it was to give the proper information 00 such matters.—The Parish Bill was then read a third time.—The Marquis of Normanby afterwards detended the Snnderland Magistrates from some nnfonnded attacks of the Marquis of Londonderry.—The latter Noble Marquis defended himself, but not very successfully, which induced Ms Gallant Friend, the Dukeof Wellington, to take bim nnder his protection, and convey him into safety. Their Lordships afterwards adjourned.. In the COMMONS, after a number of petitions had been presented, Mr. Sluil said, that seeing the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, in bis place, he ventured to ask him a question respecting a matter of which he (Mr. Sbiel) had given notice. It appeared that Mr. Biddulph, a Magistrate of King's Coanty, of considerable respectability, was fired at some time ago, and two persons, Colville and another, were tried for firing at him. No less than than three tials took pl:t<:e with reference to this matter—two under the late Government. At the last trial a complaint was made by Lord GharJeville, respecting tl»e«onslitniion of the jury. The last trial took place at the late Spring Assize*, whi n the prisoners were acquitted. It appeared that, on that trial, Mr. Keating, a man of distinguished ability, was sent down as connsel. Upon the examiaation of Mr. Biddulph, it ap- peared that be, in his capadty of magistrate, had conveyed advice to the two persons charged with the felony to abscond and By the country. 08 the cross-examination by Mr. Murphy, be (Mr. Murphy) said, I shall now leare yon in the hands of the Attorney-GeneraL" Mr. Keating was then the representative of the Attorney-General. After this Mr. Castles, Mr. Biddolph's steward, stated he bad been authorised by Mr. Biddnlph to advise the prisoner to 6y the country. Mr. Biddulph had since been dismissed by her Majesty's Government. He (Mr. Shiel) wished to know the day an which the trial had taken place, apon which Mr. Biddulph was dismissed.—Lord Eliot said, that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, upon the investigation of the circum- stances, had dismissed, Mr. Biddulph from the comtmscion of the peace for King's County. The first intimation that Government had received upon the subject was, from a question put by a Noble Person in another place. Under these circumstances he hoped the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman would feel satisfied with the course taken by the Government and the Attorney-General.—Mr. Shiel ex- pressed his satisfaction at the reply of the Noble Lord. In the debate on Mr. Roebuck's motion, tor a Committee to inquire into the late cases of Election compromise, Major Beretfmd declared his anxiety, for the sake of his own cha- racter, that the Committee shonld be appointed, and that its inquiry should be a searching one. He would willingly answer to a proper authority, though he had declined an- swering the Learned mover. Rumours of bribery were said by the Leara"d mover to be aBoat. Now there was also rnmnors that a Learned person had been elected in a former Parliament without due possession of his qualifica- tion, which had been conveyed to him in London only on the very thy on which he had sworn at Bath that he pos- sessed it. Perhaps those rumours were as false as some that were now relied on.—Mr. Wynn said, there was no precedent for such a Committee. The circumstances alleged did not necessarily imply corruption.—Mr. Ward thought that Sir G. Larpent's withdrawal, after two contests, and immediately upon the decision of a Committee in his favour, was a very suspicious circumstance.—Lord Palmerston said, particular compromises, so far from being contrary to statute, seempd to be directly contemplated by a clause in one of the Election Acts; and if they were alleged to be illegal, as breaches of privilege, this question was one at least of sufficient importance to require a previous discussion by tit.. House. A member, apprised that his agents have bribed and that he most lose his seat, was guilty of no breach of privilege in retiring without fnrther expense.—Sir R. Peel said, as to these particular charges, he did not think them definite enough to warrant the proposed inquiry. The practice of these compromises, he believed, had long existed and certainly the general impression had always been, that Election peti'ious were mere proceedings for the possession of the seats, and iuvolved no obligation to prosecute for the public. The fitness of a compromise would depend much en the circumstances of each case. A fitting Member of small fortune, pressed by a very extensive petition, might fairly choose retirement than ruin. If, however, on the other hand, a charge ot corruption were put upon record, he thought it ought not to go unexamined.—Lord John Russell was not of opinion that these compromises had been common aud the proper course would be to provide some mode of investigating such cases at the public expense.— Mr. Roebuck replied he vindicated his motion from the imputation of vagueness, and himself from the charge of asperity. He was willing to put the matter in this shape, that, at the places mentioned, there had beeu compromises made to preclude the investigation of bribery would that do ? In addition to the Committee, however, it would be necessary to have a Bill of indemnity: without that, the inquiry would be useless; and he wonld not carry it on im- potently, and to his own shame.—The motion, as altered, proposed the inquiry should be, whether in the cases men- tioned there had been corrupt compromises for the purpose of avoiding investigation into alleged bribery.—The motion was then agreed to without a division. The Report on the Income Tax Bill was then considered. —Mr. B. Wood proposed his clause to allow the losses in one trade to be set off against the profits in another trade carried 00 by the same person, in order to ascertain bis in- come. The Chanceltor of the Exchequer opposed it because it would open a door to fraud.—The clause was rejected, as ww also Mr. Gill's, by considerable majorities.—The Report was then I eeeived* The adjourned debate on Mr. Ferrand's Payment of Wages Committee was resumed, and in the end tbe Com- mittee appointed. The House adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. The large increase of Revenue upon last quarter in the Post Office department is ascribed, in England, to I be quantity of dunning letters, addressed by tradesmen to their customers, for-a settlement of their accounts. Tht Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London had au interview with Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham at Sir Robert Peel's house in Whitehall gardens, on Saturday last We understand that in consequence of the continued distress in some of the manufacturing dis'ricts of the country, and especially in consequence of the exemplary patience with which, speaking generally, tba distress has been borne by the labouring classes out of employment, it is in con- templation to issue a Queen's Letter, authorizing the clergy to make an appeal in their several places of worship, on behalf of the distressed, to the sympathy and liberality of the Public The Duke of Wellington intends to give a grand ball on 'he 19th instant, at Apslev House, in celebration other Majesty's birthday.

Mr. Newdigate, of Newdigate, will be returned in his stead, as one of the Conservative Members for the Northern Division of Warwickshire. The Rev Mr. Tomlinson. one of the Secretaries of the Christian Knowledge Seciety, has been appointed Bishop of Gibraltar It is reported that a large number of clergymen and influential laymen intend forming a new society, to be called the Church Aid Society." having for its pur- pose 'he active defence and guardianship of that Estab- lishment in every possible point of view. The intelligence of the sudden termination of the proceedings of the Nottingham Election Committee, was followed in that town hy information that Sir G. de H. Larpent was to accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and that Mr. Walter was agatn to offer himself to the constituency. A requisition to Joseph Sturge, Esq of Birmingham, was immediately prepared, requesting him to allow himself to be put in nomination as a can- didate for the representation of that borough in Par- liament. The requisitoin was numerously and res- pectably signed in the course of the day. The annual distribution of prizes to the students at J Guy's Hospital took place yesterday, after which the bus' of the late Sir Astlev Cooper, raised by his pupils to his memory, at a cost of 400 guineas, was opened to inspection. The bust has been executed by Mr. Towne, and stands upon a pedestal of white marble, with the inscription: —" Astley Paston Cooper. Alumni Gra'o Animo.

On Saturday morning, during the raging of the high wind which prevailed throughout the greater part of the day, the extensive uoorcl" h manufactorv of Mr. Moss Lyons, situate in James-street, York-street, Walworth, was blown down. The Liver flour mills at Liverpool were totally de- stroyed by fire on Friday morning. The stock on hand was fortunately not very heavy, and a considerable quan ity of wheat and flour was saved, though much damaged from the effects of fire and water. COLLISION ON THE HfVER.- Yesterday morning, abont ten minutes past three o'clock, as the steam-packet Gazelle, Captain Hurst, which left HIIII for London on Friday evening, was pioceeding through Busby's Keacli, for Custom House Quay, a brig was seen at a short distance, with both topsails, foretopsail, and mainsail set. The wind at the time being blowing strong from about W.S.W., with a strong ebb-tide, the brig was running at the rate of lip. wards often miles an hour, and steering directly down npon the steamer. Fearful of a collision, the engines of the Gazelle were stopped, and then reversed; but she struck the Gazelle with frightful violence on the larboard bow, but with the exception of carrying away part of her cutwater the steamer did not sustain any other damage. The brig, which proved to be the Charles, Capt. Alexander, a regular trader between London and Yarmouth, and which only sailed from Custom Hnnse-quay wharf about three horns before the collision, immediately became very leaky, and as she was evidently sinking fast the crew instantly rushed to the forecastle for the purpose of saving what little property they possessed, and having accomplished this, they launched their hoat and put Captain Alexander's wife (who was pro- ceeding with her husband that voyage) on board the Gazelle and then returned to the Charles, which was still above water. The Gazelle, from the moment of the collision, re- mained by the Charles, and offered every possible assistance but about twenty minutes after the vessels were in contact she went down in about two and a half fathoms water. The master and crew having taken to the boat were all saved. The Charles was laden with a general cargo, nearly the whole of w hich was uninsured. THE M T'RDERER COOPF.R.- The man Cooper, charged with the murder of a Policeman at Highbury Barn (see p 4), was brought up a third time for examination yesterday, before Mr. Greenwood at the Cleikenwell Police Office. He seemed in a good deal better health then on the previous days. Several witnesses were examined, but the circum- stances detailed by them respecting the murder have al. ready appeared. The coat of the deceased was produced. The breast of the left side was quite singed. There was the mark of the bullet hole in the middle of the singed piece, and another mark of a bullet hole on the right side above the hip. The medical gentleman detailed the nature and description of the wound. There was no question that it canted Daley's death, and that almost instantaneously. Daley was a stoat-built man, and in perfect health when he met with his death. Poilce-constable North N 11, deposed to the capture of the prisoner, and his appearance in the station-house. Found on searching him two bullets. Had known the deceased policeman Daley about six years. He was particularly qniet, inoffensive man, and had left a wife but no children. This witness supplied the only link in the chain of evidence against the piisoner which was wanted—namely, that he saw him from the time he got over the Rev. Mr. Wilson's fence, until he reached the spot where the murder was committed.—The prisoner on being asked if he had anything to say why he should not be com- mitted, replipd-Nothing. The prisoner was then removed to prison. On Sunday from an early hour in the morning and throughout the entire day the neighbourhoods of High. bury and Hornsey presented the appearance of a fair, in consequence of the immense number of persons who at. tended there for the purpose of viewing the scene of the late murder of the policeman Daley, and in order to gratify the morbid appetite of the public, some of the persons who were present and who viewed the dreadful catastrophe, had broken a piece out of the paling where Cooper, the mnr. derer, stood, and had chalked the immediate spot where the poor man Daley fell, and where Mott, the baker was shot. It is estimated that there were not less than 15,000 who visited Highbury during the day, and the proprietors of Highbory Barn and other places in the immediate locality reaped a plentiful harvest.—Up to Sunday afternoon doubts existed among the Medical Gentlemen whether Cooper had really taken poison; but the phial, which he said he had thrown away when pursued, has been found in a field near Highbnry, and Mr. Drewry has analysed the small portion remaining in it, which he states to be metallic poison. It is singular, that when the phial was found, the cork was in it, so that the prisoner most have replaced it after drinking its contents.—An inquest was opened Friday, on the body of Daley; bat it was at once adjourned till Monday, and again until Wednesday, in order that the examination of the ac- cused party might be completed before the magistrates. THE CORN TRADE.—The weather has undergone a beneficial change since our last, the wind having veered round to the westward in the eavlier part of the week, and frequent showers having fallen almost daily, which must have proved highly advantageous to all spring Corn, and also of benefit to the late sown Wheat; during the last day or twe, however, the temperature has been tather low for the time of year.-AII the reports which we receive tend to confirm the opinion which we have at different times expressed relative to the shortness of the stocks of Wheat iu the bands of the farmers, and instead of increased deliveries, which might have been expected, consequent on the alteration in the Com Laws, the supplies from the growers have rather fallen off: notwithstanding, therefore, the sudden reduction In the duty from 27s. 8d. to 13s. per qr., the improvement in the weather, and other depressing circumstances, the price of Wheat has not given way more than Is. to 2s. per qr. at any of the leading provincial markets held during the week. Even this slight decline would probably not have occurred, had buyers taken their usual quantities, but being mostly impressed with a belief that a considerable abatement would immediately follow the coming into force of the new Bill, they were surprised at such not proving the case, and purchased even more cau- tiously than before. The least increase in the demand- and when we consider the present superabundance of capi- tal, there seems reason to calculate that speculators will not remain quiet much longer—wonld, unless we are much mistaken with regard to the quantity of Wheat in the country, cause an immediate rise in prices, and even with- out speculation the shortness of stocks (provided foreign be not entered in large qnantities for home consumption) must, we conceive, prevent any material decline.-Mark.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11. TREMENDOUS FIRE AT HAMBURGH.—An immense conflagration broke out on Thursday morning last in the ci v of Hamburgh. The district in which the fire broke out consists entirely of wood tenements, chiefly of five and six stories high, and covering an area of ground of about thirty to forty acres. The fire origi- nated in the street known by the name of the Stein Twite, in the warehouse of a Jew, named Cohen, a "ciear manufacturer, who, upon good grounds, has been taken up on suspicion as the incendiary. The wind a' the time blew a stout north-west, which caused the flames rapidly to spread, and stree' after street fell a prey to the flames A person who travelled with the mail has brought a list of dlese. which fills four pages in writing. Some thousand Hanoverian and other troops were marched into the city to prevent disorder It is reported that they had recourse to blowing up some houses in different parts to arrest the progress of the flames. The principal houses and hotels, among which were the Exchange, Strait's Hotel, St. Peter's Church, the Post-office, the Bank, Spinnhauss's Hotel, and several others, with their costly property, have not a wreck left. The whole presents a mass of ruin, fallen into the dykes which infersected rhe streets. There are upwards of 100 lives lost Owing to the inadequacy of the engines, little could be effected, and the strenuous efforts of the people themselves were of no avail. At the time of its occurrence no water was procurable, owing to the tide being low, so that the street-canals were dry. The following particulars of the catastrophe are extracted from letters :— Hamburgh, May 7.—God only knows where the fire will end, to his Divine interposition alone must the termi- nation he left. All human power to controul its fury has proved hitherto of no avail; and I may say, Hamburgh has lost in 48 hours, already, that value in property which will take upwards of 100 years to replace; and there is now every appearance of the fire consuming nearly as much again, having taken so sudden a turn towards the Steinthor districts, where the houses are closely built together. On a rough calculation from 3,000,0001, to 4,000,000/. sterling worth of property has been sacrificed up to this hniir, 12 o'clock, and to describe the appearance of the flames is im- possible. The picture of the destruction of Ninevah can alone give a somewhat adequate idea of the awful magnifi- cence of the scence. The wind being from the west, and the night completely dark, and of a stormy appearance, renders the picture dreadful in the extreme; and I again repeat, that nothing short of Divine interposition can pre- vent the total destruction of at least one half of the city, one-fourth of by far the best houses of the place, and many of them princely buildings in appearance, being already sacrificed to the flames. One half of the popula tion has left the place, and are seated in the surrounding vUlagesand in the fields, and the utmost misery that can be fancied pre. vails throughout." "The following are the names of the streets destroyed almost totally, and those where the fire is raging at this moment (nine o'clock): The Deiststrasse, half the houses destroyed; Rodingsmarkt, about 25 houses; Hopsenmarkt, totally, along with Nicolai Church, the dwellings of the clergy and the beautiful church; the Grosse and Kleine Burtsah, Graskeller, Attewall-strasse, Monkedain, totally; the Johannesstrasse nearly Grosse and Kleine Becker- strasse, Mublenhrucke, Boanenstrasse, Newnburg, totally; Schmeidestrass burninc, and several other minor streets, courts, and alleys, which it was impossible to approach. Of the publie buildings, the following are completely de. stroyed :—The Senate.house, and the Bank of Hamburgh adjoining, the treasury of which, consisting of silver and gold bars in fire-proof vaults underneath, is perfectly safe, and the books are removed, so that no obstruction will be caused to the pnblic accounts, and of which a pulJlic notice has been given to ease persons' minds as to the Bank's soli. dity. Twenty minutes past nine o'clock.—I have just this moment been called away to view the St. Petre's Church inflames. It has one of the finest spires in Europe, and being 445 feet high. The district that must fall now is in- habited by a class of the poorest people, and all the open spaces around the town are already covered with people having no homes now to go to." FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. May 7. 6 to 8 o'clock.—The wind having increased has caused the whole of the Neuenwall to be cleared of its inhabitants, and the fire rages with furious violence. Up to the present time it is impossible to give any accurate account of the number of houses destroyed, but on a moderate estimation, I have no doubt that there are 500, including the old and new exchange, only recently opened. Nor can I say what lives have been sacrificed, bnt from forty to fifty is the nnmber mentioned, seven of whom were sacrificed in uobly endeavouring to save the church; nor conld they be brought away until it was too late for them to escape from the immense height of the building which they had been vainly attempting to preserve. The Nicolai Church was upwards of 370 feet high." May 7. 11 o'clock.—'The fire pnrsnes the same des- tructive course, rather worse than better and on all the roads leading away from the city are to be seen strings of carriages, waggons, and carts conveying the inhabitants and their furuitiue away. Houses are being continually blown up; and in this service there are Englishmen from the factory of Melus. Gluchman and Basse, engaged under the superintendence of Mr-Thompson, their manager. Explo- sions are conttntMlty sounding, yet the fire seems to increase, and where it will end God only knows. The loss is at present incalculable, and business of course cannot be thought of nor even entertained for some days to come. There is scarcely a family in the place which has not suffered in some way or other." (From the Morning Chronicle.) "The wretchedness and misery of the lower classes are Complete. Most of them bave lost their all, and even of the few who were insured, it becomes very problematic if they will receive anything, as they are chiefly insured in German companies, which there is every reason to fear are totally ruined. The English companies will suffer heavily, hut they enjoy the best confidence of the public. The amount of toss of life cannot be accurately ascertained, bnt it is known that upwards of forty persons have perished. The city pre. sents the appearance of a town sacked by the enemy. Fur- niture is to be seen in every direction, and the streets are filled with persons more or less interested directly in the calamity. There are at present more than 10,000 persons housetess, without food or proper clothing. When the Cale- donia was about to leave Cuxhaven, telegraphic despatches had been received from Hamburgh to three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. At that time Jacobi Church was on fife, and a gale was blowing from the north-west. Many of the poor people, who had been bnrnt out, bad been ordered to leave the city, and some thousands of Danish and Hano. verian troops had matched in, to assistin arresting the con- flagration by battering down houses with artillery, in order to prevent the farther extension of the calamity. This is the latest information which has reached England. DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR PARIS.—The Paris papers of Monday have arrived by express.— They contain no political news, but convey accounts of the most frightful railroad accident that has ever yet occurred, and which took place on Sunday evening on the Paris and Versailles tine The following are some of the particulars connected with this melancholy catastrophe: The train of the left bank was unusually long; it consisted of 11 carriages, impelled by three engines, and conveyed from 1,500 to 1.800 passengers. On arriving between Meudon and Bellevue the axle- tree of the first engine broke. The body of it, the fire, &c., fell to the ground. The second engine, so great was the impetus, smashed it to pieces and passed over it, and the boiler burst, throwing the unfortunate stoker 50 feet into the air. The carriages arrived of course, and passed over the wreck, when six of. them were instantly set in flames by the fire being newly painted, they instantly ignited. Three were totally consumed, and three others partially, without the possibility of escape to their unhappy inmates, who were locked up according to the dreadful practice of such establish- ments. The shrieks of the victims (whom it was impossible to aid, and more particularly of two unfor- tunate ladies, who were vainly calling to the last for water) are described as inexpressible dreadful.—The number of killed is variously es imated. The Prefect of Police sent a return to the Minister of the Interior, in which it was set down at 42. Another report states it to be 77, and the parish priest of Sevres, who re- paired to the spot immediately after the fatal occur- rence, and stopped there during the whole night, admi- nistering the consolation of religion to the dying and wounded, computed the dead at no fewer than 80.— The number of wounded is stated to be notless than 160 t

PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.—In the HOUSE OF LORDS, last evening, several bills were forwarded a stage. Lord Brougham, in moving the second reading of his bill for granting indemnity to the witnesses examined before Select Committees, defended himself, and their Lordships generally, from the imputation which had been cast upon them, of giving indirect encouragement, or at least impunity, to bribery, by having thrown out the bill which bad been sent up to them by the Commons in the month of June last. —Lord Wicklow complained that no notice of this motion bad been given and in conformity with a suggestion from the Lord Chancellor, it was decided that it shonld be read a second time at the early sitting the next day. Lord Clifford ol Chudleigh drew their Lordships' attention to the condition of the Catholics in the Presidency of Madras, but declined to move for a Committee to inquire into the subject, because he believed the Government would pay proper attention to it.—Adj. In the HOUSE OF COMMONS Mr. P. Howard moved that a new writ should be issued for Nottingham.—Mr. Roebuck opposed the issuing of the writ, on the ground of the in- quiry which had been ordered.—Sir Robert Peel having also declared against it, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Redlington moved for leave to bring in a Bill to dis- franchise Sudbury, and gave a description of the bribery and corruption in that borough. There was no opposition to the motion, and the Bit! was ordered to be brought in. THE TARIFF.—Sir R. Peel then rose to move the order of the day for the Committee on tbe Customs' Acltl. He regretted the dela^ in tbe consideration of the tariff; but it had at leaSt enabled parties affected to make suoh representations as they deemed necessary to the protection of tbeir interests. Those representa- tions, when reasonable, had received the attention of Government, however small the political influence of tbe parties urging them where representations bad been made without reason, no political inftuence bad preniled with tbe Government to give way to them. The great objects of himself and bis colleagoel had been to abolish prohibition, by reducing prohibitory duties; and to re- duce the duties on raw materials, aud on materials partly manu- factured. 81 these means he hoped to diminish tbe general expense of living in tbis country; not, indeed, that any individual IIrticle would be 10 cbellpeoed IS to afford any great relief, but that, oa tbe aggregate of eonsamption, the relief would be cOlUli.. diertbte and therefore it was that the Government had made its redactions on a great variety of articles, so as to give to almost every one of those classes which might inevitably suffer from some one or more of the reductions, a compensation upon others. For instance, the reduction of the duty on various kinds of seeds might, by letting in a supply from abroad, impair the profits of particular dealers; but the benelit thereby conferred upon agri- cultuie in general would be an important one. Again, in respect of lurfiiture-woods, the high duties had greatly discouraged the industry of cabinet-makers here, and induced importations ot foreign furniture. He trusted that the reduction of duty would establish an export trade in that manufacture, and lead to the extensive use of mahogany in some branches of ship-building to which it was peculiarly applicable. Next, as to foreign ores; for example, copper. At present that metal was smelted abroad, and copper there could be sold, and applied to the sheathing of vessels and to other purposes, at rates much below those at which the same objects could be executed in England, notwithstanding I our coal and our manufacturing advantages. Spermaceti and other whale oils were important articles in our manufactures, and it is now proposed to reduce the duties upon them, because whale oil had been 100 per cent, dearer in this country than in the United States, which had manufactures extensively consnming this article and successfully competing with ours. He reminded the House of Mr. Deacon Hume's dictum, that this country hav- ing plenty of untaxed iron and plenty of untaxed coal, wanted only plenty of untaxed wood to give ample employment to her industry and this was the principle on which Government now proposed the reduction in the duties on timber. He now came to the articles of foreign manufacture, on which it was contem- plated so to reduce the duties, that they should in no case exceed the maximum of 20 per cent. It was said that such a reduction, unless accompanied with a repeal of the Corn-laws, was a great injustice to the British operative. But, in fact, there had been, as the amount of duties in this very week evinced, a very great reduction in the duties on grain. Salt provisions, too, which had been hitherto under a total prohibition, would, under the new system, be admitted at a duly of about a penny in the pound. So. as to live animals, about which he trusted he should be able to make a folly satisfactory explanation So likewise as to fish, particularly that kind of fish in which the poor were most interested-namely, herrings. The duties were also to be re- dnced on the importation of potatoes, rice, and hops on the las: of which articles the reduction would he from 81. lis. to 4/. 10s. He trusted, therefore, that a full disposition had been proved, on the part of the Government, to lower the prices of those articles of food which are principally consumed by the poor. He then argued as to the straw-phut and other manufac- tures, that under the present extent of smuggling as induced by high duties, there was in actual practice no protection at all. Now, he came to the great question touching the importation of live cattle. He had been strongly pressed to defer to the appre- hensions entertained on this subject; but he believed it to be a groundless panic. Advertisements had been published for sup- plying English towns through a firm at Hamburgh with meat at 3d. a pound, and people had been frightened by those offers into selling their cattle at a sacrifice. If they had waited, to inquire, they would have found that no such firm existed at Hamburgh, and that meat in that city itself was at 6d. a pound. He would not say that tfcere wonld be no reduction in the price of meat— there would be some; and some there ought to be, fcr the price of meat in England was now too high. The influx of cattle from Scotland and Ireland by steam, within the last fifteen vears, had been immense; yet the price of meat had still gone on increasing. A)) this, it must be remembered, went to swell the Navy Esti- mates. The meat consnmed by Greenwich Hospital alone cost 4,000/. more in 1841 than in 1835. The chief objection made against the intended admission of caltle was, that the duty was proposed to be uniform per bead, on the fat as well as the tean. Now the admission of the lean cattle was of course an advantage to the grazier, whose business was to buy them for fatting; and so far there was a clear benefit to one important class of agricul- turists, which benefit would be diminished if lean cattle of a large size were made to bear a heavier duty than lean cattle of a small size. But now as to the fat cattle. The great protection on fat cattle was n-1 amount of duty, but the length and roughness of the voyage; no fat ox oonfd ever cross the Bay of Biscay. France, however, was nearer, and the agriculturists feared an in- flax from her shores. But France, for many years, instead of exporting cattle, had on the balance been importing them, and the price of all sorts of meat had been rising throughout that country. He contended that the danger was equally chimerical of importation from Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the Prus- sian League. England had another security in tbe quality of her meat. So great was its superiority, that he did not despair of seeing England an exporter of that article. He would not revive the discussion on the corn question; that he considered as de- cided by Parliament; but, at the proper time, he was prepared to state the reasons why the Government did not consider the general principles of free trade (which they folly admitted) as applicable to the present state of the sngar and timber questions. They had endeavoured to act in the spirit of Mr. Huskisson, and to do as much general good, with as little individual hardship, as possible. Even for indmduals, they trusted, the measure would provide compensation and they believed that for the people at large tbe benefit would be extensive. Mr. Labouchere observed, that the principles of the tariff were those on which the late Government had intended to act; lie only regretted that any party struggle should have prevented the country from obtaining the benefit of them sooner.— A lengthened debate ensued, in which the measure was much praised by the Opposition, and coldly supported by Sir Robert's friends. —On the question, that the Speaker should leave the chair for the pur- pose of going into committee,—Majpr Vivian moved for some in- formation which he understood to have been supplied to Govern- ment by Mr. Meek respecting the importation of salt provisions and other articles, and which Major Vivian suggested that the Go- vernment withheld tbrough fear of alienating tbeir agriculturafsop- porters—Lord Worsley seconded the motion amid much noille,- Mr. Gladstone resisted it. He said it had been usual for everv Government to exercise its own discretion as to the publishing of any parts of any confidential communication. But in this case nothing of the least importance had been withheld.-A lengthened and animated discussion ensued, several Members pressing for the production of the paper, and Ministers refusing it.-The House divided, refusing the motion by a majority of 219 to 153 and, midnight being now passed, the committee was postponed. Sir James Graham, on a question from Mr. T. Duncoinbe, Itn. nounced bis intention to move the following afternoon, at 5 o'clock, for leave to introduce the Poor Law Amendment Bill. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and tbe Hosew adjourned. At the Central Criminal Court this day, Mr. Justice Coltman took his seat on the Bench. It is finally ar- ranged that Good's trial will commence on Friday morning at ten o'clock; the witnesses were all in at- tendance this morning, and went before the grand jury. The trial is not expected to be brought to a close he- fore Saturday evening. THE HOKNSEY MURDER.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Timothy Darley, who was shot by the man Cooper, was resumed this morning at Highbury Barn Tavern; when evidence of the most conclusive nature was adduced against the murderer. The Coroner's Clerk having read the whole of the evidence which had been taken at the present and previous examinations, the Jury returned the following verdict:—" That Timothy Daley was wilfully murdered by a man represented to its as calling himself Thomas Cooper." CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—The Fleet-street end of Fetter-taoe has at length been barricaded, while the houses are about to be pulled down to effect a communication of a proper width with Holborn and which will join the western end of the viaduct to be erected from the top of Holborn- liill (leaving §t.
