Lwl John Russell brought in the Irish Municipal Cor- jporations' Bill on Monday last, which led 4o a two-nights' debate. The speakers were the heads of their respective ^parties, which gives to the discussion great interest at the present moment. YVe have now distinctly before us the "views of the Government towards Ireland on this particu- lar measure; and we can clearly perceive the course the Tories would pursue, if again, the evil genius of the coun- try placed them at the head of affairs. The speech of the ecretary W'\S I I Noble Secretary was clear, manly, and statesmanlike, and furnishes a most triumphant vindication of the general policy of Lord Mulgrave's Administration. lie com- menced by correctly stating that the people of England were, not indifferent or hostile to the welfare of the people | of reland but he confessed there was so much misre- presentation on the subject, that it required both a lucid rrangement of facts, and a clearness and fulness of ex- pression, to adequately slate the case of Ireland. The o le Lord said this, although the Bill he purposed intro- ucing required no long defence or explanation, as it was merely to remedy the abuses and provide for the reform the Irish Corporations. The abuses which existed in lose Corporations had not been denied, neither was the remedy proposed declared to be an insufficient one and the whole question was, therefore, this—whether the abuses, being notorious, and the remedy sufficient, they would ap- Iply the relief they had granted to England and Scotland phis being admitted, and admitted it must be, Lord John HHuwell was warranted in characterising the opposition to ;he Bill as indefensible in principle, insulting in practice, Ind calculated 1o alienate the feelings and affections ol Ireland from us. England was inhabited by Englishmen, ind she got Municipal Reform Scotland was inhabited \y Scotchmen, and she was equally favoured but Ireland, tetng inhabited by Irishmen, she was deemed unworthy participate in the franchise conferred on the other raor« 5*voured nations. This was a national wrong, and Ireland both felt and resented it. His Lordship having gone at ,Ioine length into the details of the intended measure, Ihewing its justice and pointing out the benefits that might fairly be presumed would flow from its working, had at pwe the good faith and unflinching resolution to declare, that the question was one VITAL to the present Adminis- %ion. lie was fully sensible of the evils of bringing for- ward bills year after year, and suffering them to be de- eated and lost, without taking any FURTHER STEPS. He bought it right, his Majesty's Government considered it [r'gl>t, that Parliament and the country should have full (time to consider the nature of the Government established [{» Ireland, and the nature of the proposition which he l»«ad to make; but he did not think that the Government h*-uid permanently go on, if they remained as an Adminis- p- «i suffering principles to be adopted with regard to the j^'vemment of Ireland against which they decidedly and protested This announcernenrnf Mtn+strr* f Wi,J hailed with the utmost satisfaction by their friends tnd^potters throughout the empire.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, TfiUKSDAY EVBNINO. The whole of the Paris papeis have been received. Their clients are unimportant. From the Spanish frontier there are several communications in which Carlism is represented as re- duced to the lowest ebb of wretchedness. The contraband trade is stopped at last for want of money. The Cartists have no cakli, and the contrabandists know their customers too well to give them credit. General Evans has addressed a letter to the Electors of Westminster- which we cannot make room in our columns of this day- /eating them to extend his Parliamentary leave of absence, 'IV gallant General expresses a confident hope that his constituents, who have aheady given him such signal proofs of their sincere regaid, will extend to him the indulgence of the few weeks which will now suffice for effecting the over- throw of Carlism in Spain.—Sun.

Accounts last night reached our offico, announcing the cheering success of Mr. Blewiu's canvnss in Monmouth. Mr. Wall's name was accidentally omitted in the list of the Reform Committee last week. MONMOUTH AND GLAMORGAN BANJC.—The first half- yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held on Monday, the 6th of February, instant, at the King's Head Inn, in the town of Newport,-Philip Jones, Esq., High-Sheriff of Monmouthshire, in the chair. The different clauses of the Deed of Settlement which author- ised the meeting and regulated its proceedings having been read, Mr. Jones addressed the assembled shareholders in a manly, straightforward, and business-like speech, in which he congratulated the company Upon its prosperous position, and pointed out in strong terms the superior ad- vantages to the public of a Joint Stock Banking Company, supported by the united wealth and influence of a number of individuals; otet that of a few partners; however opu- lent and respectabte eacii of them might be. With regard to the report of the directors, which he was about to in. troduce to their notice, and which would be proved to contain a most gratifying account of the company's affairs, Mr. Jones said, it would naturally be asked, were the statements contained in it to be depended upon ? The in- j dividuals composing the meeting well knew his character they knew also the characters of his co-directors, each and every one of whom stood pledged to the truth of the re- port. Were they men likely to practise delusion, or at- tempt to mislead those who placed confidence in their honour and integrity? [Sure we are Mr. Jones need not have asked such a question.—Ed.] Mr. Jones then read the report, from which it appeared there was standing to the company's credit, as the balance of the company's pro- portion of the premiums received upon shares sold to the 31st December last, after deducting certain preliminary expenses, the sum of £ 3780. 13s 4d and that the balance of clear profit for the five months from the 1st of August to the 31st December, after payment of all the current ex- penses of the company for the same period, amounted to the sum of £ 5081. 16s 3d.—That the directors had de- clared a dividend of X5 per cent. for the five months, being at the rate of £ 12 per centum per annum.—That after making provision for such dividend there would re- main a balance of £1964. 16s 3d to be carried to the re- serve surplus fund. The report announced that an ariange- menthad been recently effected for transferring to the com- pany on and from the 1st day of April next, the lucrative busmpssof Messrs. Jones and Davis, at Monmouth and Abergavenny. The reading of this report was received with general satisfaction, and the following resolutions were successively moved, seconded, and carried unani- mousty :— 1. That the report now read be received, adopted, and con firmed. 2. That the directors-are entitled to the waruiest thanks, of this meeting for their zealous attention to the management of the company's affairs, and for their most efficient services during the late period of doubt, difficulty, and general distrust in the monetary concerns of the kingdom. 3. That the thanks of the meeting be given to John Owen, Esq., the manager at Newport, and to the managers of the dif- ferent branches belonging to the company, for their zeal, assi- duity, and attention to the different duties confided to them. Fhanks were voted to Mr. Jones for his able conduct in the chair, and the meeting then separated. Mr. HALL.—The Welsh residing in London, on being made acquainted with Mr. Ilall's intention of resigning his seat for the Monmouthshire boroughs, have acted in a manner worthy of their national character, most compli- mentary to the honourable gentleman. Meetings have been held, and resolutions strongly expressive of their feelings of attachment and esteem have been passed they admire his patriotism, and declare their opinions that his moral courage and talents eminently qualify him for the representation of any constituency, however, important; ihey pledge themselves to make every exertion to facilitate his return to Parliament, 011 a dissolution taking place, ind request the co-operation of their brethren in the prin- cipality, to effect so desirable an object. Mr. Thomas, in •laying an honest tribute to our representative made a 'nistnke in calling Mr. Hall an Englislimam—he is a true Cambrian, and the son and grandson of Welshmen—of iiim the mountain land may say- 0 ct presidium et dulce ducus meum." LAUNCH.—On Tuesday morning last, a fine barque, named the Amelia, about 400 tons burthen, was launched 'rom the building-yard of the active and enterprising Mr. John Young, whom the industrious mechanic of this town may well consider a valuable friend. A very numerous concourse assembled to witness the spectacle, and the ar- rangements having been made with great skill and caution, die fine ship entered the element of her operations in fine ,tyle, amid loud huzzas and waving of hats and handker- hiefs. She is commanded by Mr. Gabriel Forster, and is intended for the Liverpool and West India trade; her beautiful construction reflects the highest credit on the Guilder, and gives much satisfaction to the owners. On the same day Mr. Young gave a dinner to about seventy )f the workmen, a well-considered act, as attentive me- chanics well merit encouragement. Mr. Young and the captain enteitained, at a capital dinner, several gentlemen connected with the trade of Newport, at Adams's board- ing-house; the viands and wines gave much satisfaction the ship-building trade and the prosperity of the town vere the leading wishes and topics of the evening. All the gentlemen were, we understand, safely launched from Adams's wharf and went seasonably to hammocks, without ,oy injury to their f.gure-heads or timbers and we have 'lot heard that any one of the party has had an attack of lie influenza. Mr. Young has two other vessels (of 200 tons each) on the stocks. The 6ii £ .atKl fasj-sailiiy briii Po.rto SalvQ^flf this nprt. G. Burgess, master, bouruifrom Rio de Janeiro to Monte \'ideo and Valparaiso, was totally lost on the 211d of Nov., 1836, on a reef of rocks, four miles from Montevideo. The captain and crew arrived in the long-boat at Monte Video, after being among the breakers for seven hours, and saving suffered severely from exposure to the inclemency .f the weather and other circumstances. On Friday last, the names of Messrs. Parry, Watkins, did Morgan, were returned by the Town-Council of Mon- mouth, for the choice of the Haberdashers Company in London, to supply the vacancy which exists in Jones's Almshouses, of the former place. On Friday night last, the family of Mr. Richard Powles, lie highly respectable draper of Monmouth, were placed n a state of pitiable alarm, by the non-arrival of that entleman, who had in the afternoon gone to Newland on business. After waiting some hours in painful suspense, n vain, two of the young gentlemen belonging to his ystablishment were sent in search, who proceeded to the tbovc-named village, where, as also on the road, they could only hear that the object of their enquiries had been seen m horseback on his return to Monmouth. The youn^ j lien accordingly retraced their steps homeward, hoping to find their employer in the bosom of his fitmily they were in this disappointed, as he had not yet been seen, nor had my tidings arrived concerning him. Sergeant Fuller was dien dispatched with another of the young men, to make <till further enquiries, and after searching about for several hours, they at length, in the morning, about seven o'clock, tiscovered Mr. Powles making his way from the inclosures, ind proceeding with his horse, which he was leading, to- wards Newland. The worthy gentleman was unable to trticutate when he was first seen, and was nearly spent with the fatigue and anxiety which he must have encoun- tered through a cold night, and completely bewildered as he was in the inclosures. It appears that it became quite lark whilst Mr. Powles, on his return, was near the Cherry Orchard, between Newland and Monmouth, and that, near this spot, a road leads to the tram-roads and inclosures which Mr. P. followed, instead of turning at a point which the deep obscurity of the night prevented his seeing. The (Onsequence was,that he continued involving himself more and more in the labyrinth which he had reached, until the light of returning day enabled him to discover thesituation he was in. He was immediately taken to the first house .tt hand, and upon Sergeant F. conveying the information >f Mr. P.'s discovery to his almost distracted wife, a post- chaise was dispatched, in which Mr. Powles reached his home once more in safety. What added to the fears of his friends was, the circumstance of a great many quarries .:nd pits being in the neighbourhood of Mr. Powles's visit, •ind into one of which it was dreaded he had fallen. SUDDEN DEATH.—On the evening of Thursday week List, an awful instance of the uncertain tenure of human life occurred, at Monmouth, to Mrs. Grace Toombs, relict of Mr. Richard Toombs, formeily grocer of that town. The deceased had been ailing for some short time past, but not so much so as to create any feelings of alarm in the minds of her relatives. On the evening in question, Mrs. Lewis, a tenant of the deceased, and with whom the latter resided, accompanied her to the bedroom when Mrs. Toombs retired to rest, and left her, as Mrs. L. imagined, perfectly comfortable. Shortly after the daughter of the latter went into the room of the deceased for the purpose of removing the candle, when shepercived an unusual ap- pearance in the features of the old lady, and also heard her heave a deep sigh. She immediately told the circumstance to her mother, who repaired to the bedside of the deceased who she found had breathed her list. Mrs. Toombs was in her 76th year. In addition to the few particulars which we last week mentioned respecting the untimely fate of the young gen- tleman who was accidentally shot at Newland, Master Gun Cunningham, we understand that the day on which the ac. cident occurred he was to have left his relative, P. Ducar- rel, Esq., preparatory to his return to school. The de ceased, though young, was remarkably fond of shootint;, and was an exceedingly good shot; and it is supposed that he was in the act of drawing the pistol from his pocket, it being at the time incautiously loaded, when the fatal weapon got entangled in his dress, and must have immediately discharged its contents in his heart. The de- ceased was a most amiable (young man, and possessed of mental powers of the very first order. On Sunday morning last, the Rev. T. Mansell, the re- spected curate of St. Mary's church, Monmouth, was obliged to omit the communion servic and sermon, in con- sequence of an attack of influenza. The Rev. Gentleman apologised to the congregation, and declared his inability to proceed with the service. SCOTCH CATTLE.—We have been informed that somein- fatuated wretches have revived the" Scotch Cattle" attroci. tiesonthdHiUs.—tetth" malefactors beware! An un- fortunate man suffered an ignomillous death in front of the gaol of Monmouth, in the Spring Assizes, of 1835, for I joining a riot of this description; and the judges of the land will let the law take its course on future convictions. John Guest, a prisoner recently committed to the County Gaol, charged with receiving stolen mutton, the property of Mr. John Church, of St. "00110", died on Friday last, aged 56. The deceased had long been in an unhealthy state.

EXTRAORDINARY FOOT-RACE FHOM LONDON TO BRIGHTON, HETWEFN TOWNSF.ND ANI) BEttrtY, FOR .€50 A-SIDK. 1 Ills match came off on Monday last, from the Elephant and Castle, Blackfriars-road. Townsenrl was the favourite in London, but in Crawley, Berry was taken for choice, the latter lia?Jng trained at the Sun, in that town. Townsend is 45 years of age. Berry 36. At three minutes past eight, Townsend was started he wore an elastic shirt, flannell drawers, cotton stockings, and ancle shoes had on a dark cap, and his waist bound with a handkerchief of the same colour; he went off at from eight to nine miles an hour, and was followed for the first nulf by hun- dreds, who afterwards turned back to see Berry start. At 20 minutes past eight, he came out in a similar dress to that of his adversary, saving that his head was tied upinabtue and white spotted handkerchief, and his wind bound in with the like. At 23 minutes past eight, he went off at about six and- a-half miles an hour. Townsend went ofFat score, and main- tained his pare for the first eight ,lJllleJs} Berry improved his, and ultimately got beyond nine hour, doing between London and lliegate, one nine in otT(r>iflutes. At every point inquiries weie made as to how far the old one was a-head, and B. it was found gained upon his opponent about one mi- nute per mile; T. occasionally walked, which n. did not; he took a glass of jelly at the seventh mile stone, and actually ran into lliegate, without breaking once, in two hours and 3)) mi- nutes, thus winning many bye bets at this point lownsend was only four minutes a-head of him the latter proceeded, but Berry stopped at the Swan, Reigate, to icfit he lemained there 15 minutes and here, it is conceived, his backers made their second mistake—their first being the suffering their man to make Reigate at the pace he did. He started again, at 14 minutes past eleven at a terrific rate. Poor lownsend had hardly left Riegate ere he began 10 cramp—run he certainly could not—the pain he suffered was evident by the contortions of his countenance, and nothing but invincible courage could have carried him on he did manage to walk, and now and then trot a few yards, but that with difficulty i. and Berry got in sight at the 27th, and passed him on Hookvvood Common at the 28th milestone, just where the boundary is marked between Surrey and Sussex. Berry's pace would have beaten any one but,Townsend, who, despite cramp, coW^nd-wef, w_alked-»w,- meaning, to use his own phrase, to do all he knew or die upon the road." To the 33rd milestone Berry ran, without having walked even a single yard It was strangely exciting to see that nothing lived with him—horses that staited fresh from London, broke down at or a little beyond Reigate; dogs tailed off, after a few miles and a lot of joskins, in velveteen jackets, corduroys, and leather continuations, who started with him at different points between Sutton and Crawley, were re- gularly blown and beaten off in a quarter of a mile. After he Oroke to a walk, it was evident to any one who knew the man, that he had been too fast—he did not walk soundly his cotour became leadji, his hands were numbed, and he complained of cold at the Swan Peaseporridge-gate he stopped one minute, and had some hot brandy and-water, and went to the Old Pitt's Head (now called something else), and changed again here another quarter of an hour was lost, and here it was evi- dent that the man was "done," unless something went wrong with the old one this in fact did occur, for lownsend's cramp increased, and he was compelled to pull up, we believe at l'easeporridge-gate, but being on before Berry at the time, we are not certain; he waited some time and tried again, but at Hickstead he regularly knocked up; he had some tea and sop, and his friends urged him to start, but he declared his inability! and said he must lay down he did so for 22 minutes his legs were in a dreadful state, knotted up like a gnailed oak • he attributed his cramp to the state of the roads, as his stock- ings were one mass of mud. Townsend's illness assumed a serious aspect, arid though the pace was out of Berry yet he was on the road and a-head; at that juncture Mr. Parker of Riegate, came to the rescue, and recalled the energies of the old one, who suddenly flung off the blankets and ran out of the house, with a determination that was evidently not to be con- quered. Five to one was at this time freely offered against him. Berry's pace became worse and worse. His friends drove be- fore him to shelter him from the sleet. A gentleman, who was on hoiseback beside him all day, spread his Mackintosh for the same purpose, and everything was done that judgment and hu- manity could suggest, but nature was failing him and even the addition of a coat and of double flannels did not warm him. His backer at one point, got out and ran with him, but he could not ratty when he passed the Plough, he was about four mi- nutes a-head of his opponent, but he could no longer trot, or even make a try for it, and his walk did not exceed three miles an hour. In Pyecombe parish Townsend liaw his man and, with the emphatic phrase, I've got him now," weut away at a slapping pace. Near Patcham Berry declared him. sell beat; but on the gentleman before alluded to sayina that an aCCIdent might yet win it, such as Townsend's falling, £ «., he "ent on. By Patcham, Townsend ran past, and calling to'his opponent, come on Jack," went a-head. The fare of the loser was at this moment indicative ot great mental and bodily affliction and at the windmill he stopped. A blacksmith came up, and reported Townsend a full quarter of a mile be- fore him and Berry's backers instantly threw open the door of their barouche, he was assisted in, covered with their coats, and the gentlemen consoling themselves with the old adage. bad lurk now, better another time," drove rapidly into Brigh- ton, arriving there before Townsend.

He did hisdistance in 8 hours and 32 minutes was instantly placed in a vehicle, and taken to Mr. Saunders's New Ship Inn, Brighton, stripped, rubbed, placed in flannels on a sofa before the fire, and in 20 minutes he put Oil his clothes, and was as fresh as a lark. Berry was taken to the Golden Cross, phy- sically and mentally distressed he wept bitterly, and seemed shockingly depressed about the losses his fiiends had sustained, li is due to them to say, that they did their utmost to cheer the man, and bore their ill luck with a good grace. About nine o'clock he rallied, and drank some brandy-and-water. Both the men afterwards were conveyed to London.

E. T. Foley, Esq., and K. Hoskins, Esq., Member for He- rtford, have paired off for the first fortnight of the Session.— We are sorry to learn that in consequence of suffeiing from the influenza, Walter Wilkins, Esq., and his family, are prevented going to London.
