OS" DESTROYING SLUGS BY f,iifE.- A% the a -ason is again approaching when innumerable fields of wheat, which ought to be most productive, afford to the agricullurist but a miserable prospect, owing to the ravages of the slugs; we will inform our readers of a cheap and effectual cure, one which has been adopted for several years, and always with the grea'est success. As soon as the wheat shows itself from one end of ihe drill to the other, but which, owing to their voracious appetite, appears but on I lie milder and finer parts of tlie field, procure as many (our bushel sacks of uns'arked lime, fre..h frolll the kiln, as there are failing acres of wheat, and place the same in one or more heaps in the field, as occa- sion may require, and the dryness of the ground wi'l pei mit; then choosing the first mild and misty day, send two men as sowers into the field, each taking a breadth of four yards, the first man always keeping in advance from fifteen to twenty yards. The instant lie ha* scattered the lime, to extricate themselves ihey cast away their only shield of defence, which is their s'iirie the second man then overtakes them in their nuked state, the smallest particle falling upon them is instant death. Two great savings are effected by this itiode of killing tliein-tiine and expense. CHARGE AGAINST A MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATE -The announcement in the papers of Friday, under the head of Middlesex Sessions," that a magistrate of that county a accused of having offered, for a gratuity of £ 3,000. to obtain the dis- charge of a prisoner confined under a sentence of imprisonment in the House of Correction, Cold Bath Fields, has created a most exfraordinaiy sensalion throughout the metropolis and the whole of the metropolitan county, and variolls have been the ipeciiiatioiii; as to who the prisoner was a-id »ho the justice of peace alleged lobe implicated. From the inquiries we have m ide, although the greatest degree of secrecy is maintained on the subject by the officers of the prison, we have reason to believe that the person whose liberation was to have been effected is Mr Francis Hastings Medhnrst. Mr Medhnrst, it will be recollected, was convicted at the sessions of the Central Criminal Conrt, on the 13th of April, 1839, of the crime of manslaugh- ter, having, by stabbing with a French knife his fellow pupil, Mr Joseph Alsop, at the residence of the Rev Frederick Sumner, at Hayes, near Ux- bridie, occasioned his death on the 14th of March preceding, and was sentenced to three years' impri. soniii-nt w itliotit hard labour, of which term ( lie commencement of the imprisonment dating from the first day of the sessions) two years expired on the 7th insian1. At the time of ihe trial it was m.'n tinned lhat Mr Medhnrst would, at the demise of iiis grandfather, coine into the possession of con siderable properly (t"7f)00 per annum, acc r ling to Ihe report). Thai event took place shortly before Christmas last, and Mr Medhnrst consequently has coiiiinand over ftin(.I.; to a I;ir,,c ,-iin,)iini. We also understand that Mr Medhursi's liberation was not to be effected by an "escape," as is insinuated in some of (he papers of yesterday, but by a remis si.ui of his sentence. We need hardly say that the magistrate, whoever he be, must have been guilty of the basest falsehood if he declared that he possessed influence in the quarter he is reported to have named sufficient to effect that or any other object inconsistent with the strictest regard to public justice. With respect to the magistrate I ac-usd, although his identity is known to ever *v magistrate in the county, his name has not yet been publicly mentioned but "o are infomied that he is the son of an old and highly e-iteetned magis- trate of one of the p lice courts of the metropolis, has been several years in the commission of the peace, and was formerly a ino«t active member of ihe bench ai the Middlesex sessions.—-Observer. SARSAPARILLA.—Mr Wray, of Ho'b r,) Hill, the proprietor of the Alterative I onic Powders, h„v nr observed c»ns ant disappointment attending the exhibition of the pharmaceutical and other prepar- ations of Sarsaparilla, induced him to set on foot, w ith the as»is'ance of (lie ablest experimental che- mists, an analysis of its properties; the reslllt of which proves true Sarsaparilla. carefully selected mill separated from all impurities, is in iiibs,an -c most effecti.a', and that the variotis preparation* under the denomination of decoctions, ex-racts, essences, syrups, &c., hitherto u-ed, can tivy r be depended upon for producing any real or pefln, iiiiii benefit.

GRAND DEMONSTRATION OF THE MAN- CHESTER DISTRICT OF ODD FELLOWS. 4- On faster.Monday the several lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fello,s it, the Man- chester District celebrated their anniversary in a manner which, while it was calculated to gratify the members and their friends, and the public at large, redounded, at the same lime, to the honour of the order. The members walked in procession thrwgh the town, accompanied by banners and music, to St. Matthew's Church, whereat the re- quest of the officers of the order, a sermon was preached by the hon and very rev the Dean of Manchester, and a col leclion was made, the proceeds of » hlcli are to be devoted lo the funds of the Lying in Hospital and the Fever Ward. In the evening there was a dinner on a very splendid scale in the Corn Eschange. According to previous arrangement the members of the varioui lodg-e began to asietitble oil Ardwick Green, soon after eight o'clock. The morning being nne there was an immense crowd of spectators upon the Green, and every window along the line of march was filled. The procession extended up- ards of half a mile in length the members walked three a breast and their numbers were very nearly 15000. The utmost interest was excited by the appearance of the widows and orphans,who had been relieved by the funds of the order, in the midst of the procession. A strong detachment of police accompanied the procession, to preserve order alo ig the line of march, an l to prevent the members from being pressed upon by the crowds of spectators who lined all the streets through which they had to pass. The route taken was along Downing Street, Lon- don Road, Piccadilly, Mosley Street, Lower Mosley Street, Great Bridgewater Street, and Liverpool Road, to the church. The procession began 10 enter the church about ten o'clock, and by half past the spacious edince was completely filled, a ireat number of the members not being able to obtain admittance. The standard bearers and police remained outside during the service; and 'he widows and orphans, who had formed part of the procession, and who were probably fatigued by their long walk, were conducted to St Matthew's school room, where refreshments were kindly pro- vided for them. The service commenced a little after lialf past ten. Prayers were read by the Rev Thomas Bentley, the incumbent of St Matthew's. There was a very effective orchestra, the attendance of some of the most eminent singers in the town hav- ing been secured. The organist was Mr Seed, the organist of the church; and the choir included Messrs Isherwood, Standage, Cooper, and Abbott, and Masters Meadowcroft, Walker, and Cooper, of the collegiate church choir. The IIItlsiial services performed were particularly impressive and beau- tiful they were—the Veniie and Psalms of the day,-Clarke's chant in E sharp; Te Deum, Lord Momington's; Jubilate, Nares in A; the anthem, Travers's II Ascribe unto the Lord." The commu- nion service was read by the honourable and very reverend the dean, assisted by the Rev Thomas Bentley. The collection amounted to upwards of £43. The service terminated at a quarter after one. The procession then re-formed in Liverpool Hoad. Here some inconvenience was experienced owing to the gtonnd near the church being so fully occu- pied with shows, &c., it being the first day of the fair. However, by the excellent management of the marshals, the procession was soon got in order, and it then moved along Gartside Street, Bridge Street, New Bailey Street, Saltord, Chapel Street, &c., retm ning by Victoria Bridge. Shude Hill, Swan Street, and Lever Street, to Stephenson's Square, where the, procession broke up, a t a I it t Ie after I hree o'clock. The day throughout was fine, and the proceedings altogether went off in the best manner that could have been desired. An excellent dinner was provided at the Corn Exchange, at five o'clock, to which about seven tllllldred of the member* and their friends sat down rbe room was bedllliilllly decorated, all the flags and banners which had appeared in the procession being suspended around the sides of the room. The arrangements for the accommodation of the company were confided to twenty steward*. The principal guests were placed at an elevated cross table iit the bead of' (lie room; from tliiq,teti tables extended the length of the room, each capable of accommodating seventy guests. In the north east :orner of the room, immediately over the north entrance, was stationed the effective band of the loth infantry. The dinner was provided by Host King, of the Bush Inn, Deansgate, and was of the most substantial and profuse character. The chair was filled by P.G.M. James Mansfield. On his right sat the Rev Richard Parkinson, canon of Nlancliester, the Rev Isaac Robley,ol St Philip's, Watford. William ISeiId, Esq., William Garnett, Eq., George Clarke, Esq.

On the entrance of the guests, the "hole of the company rose, and greeted them with a hearty rOllnd of cheers. Ihe baud played some favourite airs d iring dinner. After the c'oih was drawn, llNon Nobis Domine" was song by the prolessional singers in attendance, including .Messrs Standage, Cooper, Walton, and Mcllor. Mr Charlton officiated at the piano.

IMP E RIAL PAR LI AM E X T. HOUSE OF LORDS,-TIIURSD.H, APRIL 22. The House resumed business this day, and the Lord Chancellor took his scat on the wou!sack, not tuning previously done so for several weeks, if) consequence of severe illness. The South Australian Grant Bill, the Harrowgilc Improvement Bill, the Ilaiicliesier and Leeds and Northern and Eastern Counties Railway Bill*, vvi'h several oilici, private Bills, were brought up from the Commons, and severally read a ifrst tine. The report of the Select Committee appointed to ascertain the expenditure of Select Committees of both Houses of Parliament was also brought up from (he ConPlloos. Lord DUNCANNON laid on the table certain correspondence relating to the expenditure of South Australia. The liar 1 of CHARLEVILLE then entered into some explanations of circumstances that had lately come lo his knowledge in connection with the sub- ject of the motion his lordship made immediately before the recess in reference to the working of ihe Jury system in Ireland. The Marquess °f NORMANBY said that he had nothing now to add to his Conner explanation on this subject, and then recapilulated liis view of the details. The Earl of WICKLOW said, that he had heard the statement of his noble friend and the answer of the noble marquess,and he thought that that answer was anything but satisfactory. There were two points ot charge it) this case. The first was, that the jury on the (rial of the persons who were charged with attempting the life of Mr Biddulph was an improper one. To that the noble marqaess answered that Mr Biddulph had expressed himself sa isfied with the jury—a statement which Mr Biddulph denied. The second point was, thai the law officers of the crown did not in Mr Biddulph's case exercise the privilege of challenging while at the trial of Samuel Gray, an Orangeman, al Monaghan, that privilege was extensively exercised. Here was an evident deviation from the rule of challenge, when an Orangeman was placed on his trial. The nobe marquess had stated, on the authority of the law officei-s of the Crown, that the same practice was adopted in both cases. Now, what turned out to be the fact? Why, it appeared that not a single person was challenged, except publican*, in Mr Biddulph's case but that in the case of Samuel Gray other persons beside., publican? were He believed that the noble mar- quess was the last man who would make any statement to which he did not himself give perfect credit but it was evident from the statement of his noble friend, that a serious charge rested on those from whom the noble marquess derived his in- formation. After some further observations from the Earl of Charleville and the Marquess of Norinanby, the con- versation dropped. Several petitions were then presented. HOUSE OF COMMONS,—THURSDAY, APRIL 22. After many pefitions had been presented, Lord MORPETfl made his promised statement on the subject of the Irish lte,-isti-atioi) Bi'l. The only material alteration is that Ihe amount of rating that is to govern the elective franchise will he raised froul -,tr) to tS, a,; far as counties are con- cerned. In the boroughs it would seem that no change is to be made in the original provisions of the hill. Mr O'CONNELL cave notice that in the course of next week h would move for Ipave to 1.11 in ill a bill to facilitate the proof of bribery in the elec- tion of Members of Pai liament. The learned Mem- ber at the same time expressed his regret at the announcement just made by Lord Morpeth of the intended alteration in the Irish Registration Bill. On Ihe motion of Mr FOX MAULE, the Small Debts Courts Bill and the Local Courts Bill were postponed until the 10th of May. Sir GEOllGE SINCLAIR again asked whether her Majesty's Government had or had not announced to Mr Candlish their inientionof appointing him to the Professorship of Biblical Criticism; and. if so, on what ground the appointment had been sus- pended or cancelled ? Mr FOX MAULK said that no intimation of his appointment had been made by Government to Mr Candlish, though they lr»d certainly intended to confer it upon him. In the mean lime, however, Mr Candlish, as was alleged, had vi<dated all interdict of the Court of Session, and until that charge were judicially disposed or, all proceedings in relation to the professorship had been suspended. To a question by Sir RobeitPeel, Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered that the official dispatches of the action near Canton had not yet anived, and that, of course, no authorised statement could 111 present be inserted in the Gazette. Mr G ItOTE next proceeded to move a series of resolutions on the subject of New South Wales, the effect of which would be to relieve the colony of half the expense attending the local police "sla. b'ishment and the maintenance of gaols. The lion. Member contended that this was a charge that ought to be shared by the ImperialTreasury, as the burden now fell so heavily on the colonists that the ordinary colonial revenue was inadequate to the demands upon it, and a necessity had arisen for (uaking np the deficiency out of the fund set apart for the purposes ol emigration. This circumstance, by abridging the quantity of labour, was an addi- tional hardship oil the colony. A debate followed/' observes the Post in its summary, "of lIearly fhe i.otirs' duration, in which the preponderance of ar- gument was against Mr Grote's motion. 13tit tlii-i g was I-ot so singular as the odd manner in which political parties were split on the question for instance, Sir Robert Peel agreed in the main with Lord John Russell and Mr Humein opposinz the resolutions, while Lord Malum and Sir Robert Inglis were in favour of them." result was tolerably decisive, however; for when the House divided the numbers were — For the motion, 8; against it, 52; majority against Mr Grofe's resolutions, 44. Lord C. Fl I ZROY then moved that the papers on the table of the House relating to the existing state of things in the Ionian Islands be referred to a Select Committee. The motion was was ohjecfed to by Lord John Russell, Sir Henry Hardinge, and Sir Robprt Peel, the last named riht honourahle gentleman observ- ing—" thai if an inquiry were to be instituted against a Governor on such a case as this, no fit man would hereafter undertake a Colonial Government. SirH. Douglas's high charac er had "een his so'e recom- mendation to his office." The motion was ultimately negatived on a division, by 28 to 10. On the motion of Mr FOX .MAULE, the Factory Bill was read a second time, with an undeistauding that the discussion should be taken on the next *1 jge of the bill. The Dublin Wide Streets Bill then went through Committee. .ø'l'rø.# HOUSE OF LORDS,—FRIDAY, APHIL 23. After the presentation of a number of petitions, the report of the Comllli; I ee on the Drainage Bill was received pro forma, in order that the clauses relating to Scotland might be printed; and the further consideration of the measure was post- poned till Tuesday. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from the Presbytery of Gatiech, praying fur the preservation and continuance of lay patronage as al present established by law in the Chinch 01 Scot- land The noble earl regretted that the Presbytery had thought it necessary to transmit such aped tion, as the source from which the auii-pationage petitions proceeded, and the meons employed for getting them up, were now so well known as to render these pretended expressions of public opinion perfectly innocuous. The Earl of FALMOUTH inquired if authority had been given by the Commissioners of the Duchy of Cornwall to their solicitors to write ti,e letter they had addressed to certain holders of mines in the Duchy, claiming a right on the part of the Crown to all sub-marine minerals? Ilis lordhip urged the vast importance of this question, as the step now taken had a tendency to reudrr iusecure the tenure of mining property. Viscount DUNCANNON promised to make in- quiries on the subject, and state the result of them on Monday. In answer to a question by Lord Lyndhurst, The Marquess of NORMANBY said that the newly appointed Solicitor to the Home Office only held the office of Secretary of Bankrupts for the present as a convenience to the Lord Chancellor, but that it had never been intended permanently to unite the ivo places. The Marquess of NORMANBY gave notice that on Monday be would move for a committee on the subject of Sunday trading on canals. The E'rl of FALYIOUTH gave notice that he would cn Tuesday present a peti.ion against the removal of the West India packet station from Fal- mouth to Dartmouth. Their lordships then adjourned. ##'#'1'" HOUSE OF COMMONS,—FRIDAY, APRIL 23. Mr ALEXANDER took the oaths and his seat as member for the county of Antrim. Mr Fox Maule's motion that all proceedings on bills for the Recovery of Smal' Debts be postponed till the 10th of May, was opposed by Mr Alderman COPELAND, on the ground that the pub'ic were tired of wailing (or a general measure on the subject. The II ouse divided, and the postponement was only cat ried by -10 to 39. Ir LUCAS gave notice that on the Gth of May he should move for leave lo bring in a bill empowering creditors in Australia to attach Ihe wages of work- men to the amount of oue fuurtli when the debt did not exceed « £ 20. Mr J ER VIS gave notice of his inteution to move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the General Turnpike Act. Lord TEIGNM OU I'll postponed on the part of Mr Colquhuijn, the second reading of the College of Maynooth Bill till the lOili of May. Mr HUME moved for returns of the number of persons confined for criminal offences in England, Scotland, and Ireland, for the last three years, with the number convicted and acquitted. Oil the motion of Mr IlAVViiS, an account was ordered of the quantity of fresh fruit imported fro n 183S to 1340, and of the amount of duly received upon it; also an account of the produce of the additional five per cent imposed upon all excise and customable articles, together with the additional ten per cent. added to the assessed taxes of last year. The House then went into Committee on the Administration of Justice Bill. The consideration of the several clauses occupied nearly six hours; but the animated part of the pro- ceedings was that in which Sir \V. FOLLET moved an amendment on the clause especially introduced for the purpose of excluding Mr Scarlett from compensation for Ihe value of the office about to be taken from him by the arrangements of the bill in respect to the Court of Exchequer. For (his acl of injustice (be reason assigned by Lord J. Russell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was, that the appointment had been accepted by Mr Scarlett after intimation of the abortion of the office had been given by ihe intro- duction of a bill into Parliament that did not pass. The answer to this may be shortly staled. The place became vacant by death; it was incumbent on the Lord Chief Baron, under Act of Parliament, to fill it up; Mr Scarlett was duly qualiifed and the inere i(iteiilioii ofgovertin)eiit to ai)olisti the ofliec- if they could-at some future time, could not he considered as in any way binding. Mr Scarlett, moreover, had given up a situation of £51)1) a year on his appointment to the Court of Exchequer. On a division the numbers were — for the clause, 70; for Sir W. Folleti's amendment, 73; majority against ministers, 3. After a short conversation, Sir W. FOLLETT, subsequently undertook to introduce a clause to provide that, in case 11 r Scarlett should hereafter succeed to the Peerage, his compensation should cease. The CHAIRMAN then reporlell progress, and ob. tained leave to sit again oil Monday. Oil the motion fur going- into Committee of Supply, Lord MA HON asked what steps had been taken in consequence of the resolution adopted by the House iu March last, that the great increase in the number of convicts confined on board the hulks was highly objectionable? Lord J. RUSSELL stated that there was not at present a sufficient establishment of penitentiaries lor ihe reception of the convicts, and the Committee on transportation had expressed a strong opinion against lhat mode of punishment. After a few words from Si.. H. PEEL and Mr WAKLEY the conversation dropped. Colunel SIBTIIOUP then slated that, if the estimates should be one into at length, he must be under the disagreeab'e neces-ity of occupying the committee with a speech that might probably last some four or five boms. Lord J. RUSSELL, whether from alarm or not did not appear, said he on'y meant to take a vote for Exchequer Bills, as that was of urgent necessity for the public service. The House went into Committee of Supply, and a vole of of'21,6-0,320 was agreed to (or payment of Exchequer Bills. The tl,,use then resumed, and the other orders of the day were disposed of.—Adjourned. ,## HOUSE OF LORDS,—MONDAY, APHIL yd. The Annual Indemnity Bill was read a second (ime. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, in the ab- sence of the Bishop of Bath and \Vells, presented a petition from Balh-easton, praying that Roman Gathu ics should be excluded It-oiii seats iu Parlia- ment. Viscount DUNCANNON said, that in consequence of the question put to him on Friday evening, by the noble earl opposite, relative to the leases of certain mines iu Cornwall, he had made inquiries on the subject,and he foulld thaI notice had beer) ziveii (o the lessees of those mines 10 which submarine workings were attached, that, oil the expiration of their leases, they would not be renewed on the pre- sent terms. The Bihop of LONDON presented a petition from a place in his diocese aaiust Sunday (lading. The Ear) of W1NCHILSEA presented petitions from places in Kent, E-sex, and Suffolk, against any further irraut to Maynootli; a petition from a place in Suffolk against any alteration of the corn laws; from another place in the same county Cor an alter- ation of the Tithe Composition Act and from the ex officio guardians and others of unions in Lincoln- ,gicio muar(ii,in shin-, against ihe continuance of the Poor Law Commissioners Cor five years and further praying that the guardians should be allowed, at dis- cretion, to grant out door relief without applying to the Poor Law Commissioners for their sanction. Viscount DUNCANNON moved the second read. ing of the Metropolis Improvements Bill. The bill was read a second lime. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Acts Aniei.,Iiie,i( Bill.-A,i-ecd to. Lord MATHER I ON presented a petition from the boatmen employed oil ilic Liverpool and B r- C,i"zti, pi-ayi:i,- that they might not be compelled to work on Sunday. Lord NORMANBY said, in tising to draw the attention oC their lordships to the subject ot Sunday trading on canals, he wou!d presume (bat it was (he first duty oC (he government to promote the moral and religious observance of the Sabbath day. Numerous represent a tims had been made to govern ment by chairmen of quarter sessions aud othrrs, showing that the present state of the law subjected, not only the population thus employed, but much of the population generally through wldch Ihe callal passed, 10 considerable inconvenience. This was especially lamentable iu a moral and reunions point of view. Pilfering to a great extent, »nd other small crimes, were well known to have arisen from this practice of Sunday transport and a ctim", of the greatest magnjude bad occurred last year, for which two persons suffered die extreme penally of the law. The persons thus engaged were deprived of any means either of religi- ous or secular instruction. If their lordships granted the committee, it would be proved, amongst ui her things, that there was no class of her Majesty's subjects sa illiterate as the persons engaged in Ibis traffic. The Bishop of LICIIFI ELD most readily sup- ported the nio,in-i. The appointment of the committee was then agreed lo, and the committee was named. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid upon the (able a hilllo remove d )ubis as to the liabitii y of peers ot pai liament to punishn ent in certain cases of treason and felony. The bill was read a lirst timc, aud rheir lordships adjourned. .## HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, APHIL 20. The mreat and Ionic expected business in the House, was the committee ,n the Irish Registration (and Qualification) Bill of the Government. The Speaker having left the chair, L-ard HOWICK rose to move an amendment upon the first clause. tie laid it down as a principle, that the basis of the county franchise is not occupa- lioi), blit property; Ihe 1:50 tenant's franchise in England being no real exception from lhat principle, since a renting is itself an evidence of conxi- derable capital. The bl't franchise for an !rah county voter would, lie thought, be a ratinir on u certain amount beyond all charges and the rent specified in the lease. The letiaiit, teitil)t A tioll to put their values unreasonably high for the sake of their votes, would be countervailed by their desire to avoid paying too heavy a. rate. The excess cn which he would propose to require a rating, in order to confer a franchise, would be an excess of £5 beyond the rent and other charges. The "bene- ficial interest of XIO," contended lor by Mr 0 Con- uell, after the deductions which thal\meuiber pro. fessed to allow, would not be unlairly represented by this X.5 iitiiiz. There werp some persons, no' included in the £8 leaseholders' test, whom this £ 5 rating would admit: those, for instance, who paid a very low rent for a property not rateable in "Hat so much as £ S, but yet yielding to the holders a profit of more than i5 beyond that low rent. But as he was aware that on the other hand there would be many voters whom the iS leaseho!dei-s' tea: would admit, but whom his X5 properly rating WuUld exclude, he was disposed to move utso another change, admitting a large class of votei-,s-a change which would substitute, for the Government propo- sal of a rating on a lease, at a low rent a proposal of a ra'ing at a higher reni, but without any lease, The circumstances of Ireland, however, were so different frotn those of England, and her general wealth so far inferior, that the English £50 fran- chise would be too high for Ireland. What the pvoper amount would be he was not yet pre- pared tn state; but it should be all amount which would give a constituency at least as numerous as that which existed immediately a ffer the Reform Act. All he should now ask of the House would be merely to consent to the principle. It would be said that tenants without leases would be deficient in inde- pendence. He then moved to omit those words a: the end of the first clause which abrogate the bene- ficial interest francltise created by Ihe Reform Act, for the purpose of enabling him, in the second ciiiiii;r-, to define that beneficial interest by the C5 rating propounded in I lie earlier pari of his speech. Lord MORPETH said, that though the propo- sals of Lord Howiek might have been unobjection- able if moved as addilions to the franchise provided by the bill, they would not be eligible as substitu- tions for that franchise. As to Ihe amendment proposed on (he first clause, he regarded it as merely verbal. He believed that the test proposed by the Government was the most advisable, and by it he wa" preparell to abide. Mr C. WOOD observed, that Lord Howick's object was to avoid that sweeping disfranchisement which the bill proposed to indict on all the existing voters, many of whom the new iest contained iu lhat bill would not reinstate; and the amendment proposing lo omit ihe words of disfranchisement would leave certain classes of the present voters still in existence, without preventing ministers from afterwards adding their own new qualifications also. lie then showed the result which, according to the returns, the plan of an £ 8 rating would produce it would disfranchise no less than one 4ixtliof the ^10 voters in 14 oflht, Irish unions. Sir C. GREY opposed the amendment, which he said was much more than a verbal matter. Mr C. WOOD added a few words; after which, Lord STANLEY rose. That amendment was no verbal one, he said, which raised the question whe her the whole existing law and principle of beneficial interest should be swept away. The country would not easily he persuaded to treat that as a trivial matter, lie agreed wiili Lord Howick that all undue and unnatural diminutioll of the Irish constituency, from the amount intended by the Reform Bill, was not lo be permitted. It was assumed lhat such a ùilllilllllion had already taken place. Alr O'C,,niiell, however, had expressed his opinion during the progress of the R. form Bill, that it would not bring the numbers up to 30 000. There was so great an excitement on the first registry after (hat bill, and so little opposition, that the numbers amounted to 52,000. They siill increased, nomi- nally, till the octennial period; and Ihen, of course, they were reduced by the striking off of many thousands. Yet at this day they were between 40,000 and 50,000, exceeding by many thousands persons the numbers which the Reform Bill was framed and expected lo yield. When he should see all abrmillg elimillutioll of the constituency, he should gladly co-operate wiih L'»rd Howick for the redress of that evil but he would not, because some gen- tlemen declined to grant leases of their property, consent to inundate the eonslituency by telling in voters without any property whatever. Mr O'CONNELL instanced several counties it) which, through registration had been stimulated by contests, tlie number of volers was, in his opinion, unreasonably small in proportion to their popu- lation. Lord J. TlUSSELL said, that when the Legisla- lure bad taken up Ibis subject, there was a very general feeling that before it dealt with the question of registry it ought to settle the question of fran- chise. He had thought £5 the proper sinouioi he had given way to the proposal for in the hope that this important mailer might thus be settled, consenting to endure, for so great an object, the taunts directed ilie Government. lie did not consider this amendment to be much mare than a question of wording; but he was not disposed to concede it, because it would introduce inconvenience into subsequent clauses. lie citt-d some of the printed returns, to prove the inellicacy of Lord Howick's proposal for a f5 test. Sir It. PIEL said, referring to the expectations entertained by the flafllPls of the Refoim Bil, and by Mr O'Conuell himself, with respect lo the num- bers of the II ish Constituency, he showed that these numbers did now far exceed all (hose expectations. But if the numbers were really diminished, what were the remedies proposed ? In oi Irish counties, the Government proposed the same uniform fran- chise which belonged to the borough; excluding propertv, and giving everything to occupation. If property w-re exciti,l,,d from the county franchise iu Ireland, how it could it be retained in England ? And what conifdence could lie placed iu ihe legis- lation of a set of .Ministers, who, after taking time to deliberate throughout the recess, had brought forward such a measure as this, suddenly changing, two or three days ago, their X5 to all .1:8 qualifica- tioii ? Lord John had twitted the Conservatives for not accepting il)e :Ci. Their objection was not to mere amount—it was to principle they required for the counties a qualification of property, not of OCCUIHJlioll. To (he general principles laid down by Lord Howick he agieed, although he did not iniend to suppo t his details. The effect of the present amendment was the same as if it had been an ab- stract resolution affirming the principle of beneficial interest as a part of the franchise; and that amend- ment he should support. If it were carripd, it must be fatal to the principle of Ihis I)ill-to tliikt principle which %eiii to exclude property from ils influence in die fr;1IIchise {If cU\I\lIieo¡' <lnd if coun!Ïes ill Ire'alld, then of counties in England also. He vindicated, by reference to ihe testimony given in 1825 by the leading Catholics, (he disfranchisement of (lie 40s freeholders under the Relief Bill; and concluded by strongly declaring his opinion lhat the conduct of ministers oil this question had disentitled them to the confidence of Parliament. Mr O'CONNELL referred to some details on the disfranchisement of the 40s freeholders. Ile told the House they knew little of a people, five mil- lions of whom never tasted the liquor of intoxica- tion. Lord IIOWICK his object was not, as had been suggested by ministers, to restrict the franchise but 10 elllare it. The House then divided, and defeated The Minis ters by a majority of 21; the numbers being 291 and 270. A little discussion ensued as to the next day of sitting. Lord J. RUSSELL proposed to adjourn till Mon- day but to this delay Ihe ll"«se would not consent and Wednesday was finally fixed.

ARGus LIFE OFFICE. The annual general meeting of tins company was held at i |K» oiffce in Throgmorton Street, on the oth ultimo, for the usual investigation of the year's accounts, and also for receiving (he septenn a1 valuation of tlie company's liabilities lo the 31st of December, 1840. Mr Shei iff Fdrneotnb.on takinglhe chair,expressed himself much gratified at the numerous attendance of proprietors upon an occasion which gave loth meeting a character of peculiar interest. At tl)c present moment, when so much was said and written agaiiisi low rates of assurance, the directors were inust tilixiotis to give the fullest information regard- ing the company's atf'iirs, so lhat not only the pro- prteiois bu( the public might know thai the Argus Company was founded upon sound and honoiirabl principles. An accurate calculation. by the actua ry, of the company's liabilities to the 31st of Dec mber, 1840 was produced. This calelllation had been rigidly scrutinised and proved by mosl competent persons, and it was with much pleasure that he could now confidently state to the meeting that the operations of the Argus ill the lasi seven years h II been eminently successful. The board of director had watched wiih all anxious eye the progress ol the company's affairs, and ihey felt themselves jus. lified ill savillrr Ihal no rloubt existed in their minds of (lie stability and success of the Argus, under a s/stem of prudent and economical management. The chairman proceeded to slate that, upon exami- nation of the accounts on the table, it would be seen that, after setting- apart Ilw sum necessary to ineel the liabilities, a large suiplus fund remained,which was left to accumulate ns an additional secuiity for ihe assured, Ou a review of Ihe transact ions of Ihe company it appeared that up to the end of last year 3,361 policies had been issued, that the amount 01 new premiums had steadily and gradually increased from year to year, that the company's income amounted to fifty thousand pounds a year, and that there was, in addition to the subscribed capital of three hundred thousand pound*, a vested capital of considerably realcr illtlOllllllhalllhe estimaled value of the whole of the engagements of the company. Resolutions for appropriating ihS surplus fund having been passed, votes of thanks were unani- mously given 10 the board of directors for iheir prlldent and able management of the affairs of the company, and to the Chairman for his conduct in the chair. number of speeches were made, for which we canuol find space. The general teeling, however, of the proprietors at the meeting was strongly in favour of a liberal policy towards the public, under which the practice of life assurance, assuming a commercial as well as a prudential character, may become generally available in mercantile and profes- sional transact ions and it was deemed satisfactory that a company, whose object has been to extend to the community at leIIge the benefits of lice assn rallc on terms which, although comparatively I. w are ascei't lined to be sccur1, was rapidly advancing in ihe estimation and confidence of the public.
