TO THE ELECTORS OF THE fC A'RDIGANSHIRE BOROUGHS. Gextleme.V, I f-TAVING now completed my Canvass, i am nappy to inform my Friends and Supporters that I have every ground for believing that my Majority over Jfty Opponent will be MOST DECISIVE. Be assured, that nothing but a conviction that this will be the case would induce me to expose these JBocoughs to the excitement and inconveniences of a ^Contest. 'The state of the Borough of Aberystwith, from the Returning Officer not having received the Register of Electors from the proper Official on or before the 30th • "Ofkst November, has caused me sincere regret. Out of respect to its Constituency, I endeavoured to place that Borough on the same footing with the othersfin the -CO.upty,t my proffered assistance has been declined. .Hoping to see all my friends around me at the Poll, I am, Gentlemen, Yours very gratefully, _.Mpar, 3bt,Jan.t 1849.

CARDIGAN BOROUGH ELECTION, 1849. j How unfpunded are the insinuations made by some of Mr. Harford's opponents, will best be shewn by the re-publication of his valedictory Address to the Elec-

TO THE INDEPENDENT RECTORS OF THE CARDIGANSHIRE BOROUGHS. GBNTLBMBN, I T CANNOT commence my parting Address without at once expressing my deep concern and regret at the subtraction of the Aberystwith Poll Books, whether it has been by accident or fraud; if the latter, I want lapguage strong enough to denounce the malignancy of .the act. The Mayor of Cardigan has made, in conse- quence a double return, although it is well known that Mr. Pryse has a majority of twenty votes over me. I beg leave publicly to state that under these circum- atanees I feel in honour bound to use no advantage afforded by the double return to impede Mr. Pryse from peaceably taking possession of his seat in the ensuing Parliament; and should the election be voided from the loss of the Poll Books, or any informality in conse- quence thereof, I shall feel equally restricted from Opposing his re-election. I reserve, of course, the usual right of petitioning against the present return on any legal grounds exclusive of those I have specified. This contest has been one of public principle. I en- ured upon it with a sincere desire to serve my country at this eventful crisis, and I carry away with me the con- ning reflection that no honorable endeavours have been Bating on my part to ensure success. The battle has been fought under various and great disadvantages. Had the Conservative party connected :lth these Boroughs, instead of being divided, by the in- lfuet>ee of circumstances well known to yourselves, been ""ftited in my support, our cause would have triumphed, and triumph it must and will hereafter if you are true to Ourselves cannot close without expressing a lively and grate- Tu1 sense of the energetic efforts made by my friends 444 supporters to secure my return, nor can I ever rget the kind and hospitable welcome, and the flatter-  reception, which I have every where met with from ? 26ctors and others connected with the Cardigan- Boroughs. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and devoted servant, JOHN S. HARFORD. Jttly 8th, 1841.

CUPI-SS,s CONSTITUTION HORSE BALLS. V BREEDERS of HORSES, and all those who keep JLF and value good health and prime condition in that noble animal the horse, are respectfully requested to read, the following important Testimonial Meaux Abbey, Beverley, June 29th, 1845. I Mr. Cupiss, Diss-Sir, Having been in the habit of using your Constitution Balls" for Horses, I find them to be an excellent Medi- cine for horses at hard work, and particularly for Grease, Cracked Heels, Surfeit, Hide-bound and loss of appetite. I tried them on a two-year old thorough-bred Colt, which is engaged in the Derby and St. Ledger, 1846, after try- ing a great many Medicines, all of which failed. I suc- ceeded with your Constitution Balls," in bringing him into prime condition, after a very obstinate case of sur- feit and Hide-bound; he is now fresh as a star, and as fine as a fawn. I wish to consult you, Sir, respecting the Constitution Balls as regards giving them to yearlings making up for sale at Doncaster Races, which I have been in the habit of doing every year, five or six of which are fed to the highest extremity from being two months old; I should feel obliged by your informing me the quantity to be given to each yearling, age fro,the 24th of Jan. to the 16th of April, 1844; you will, therefore, oblige me by dropping a line by return of post, on this subject. You are quite at liberty to publish this for the good of the Medicine, as I am confident there is nothing equal to the Constitution Horse Balls. I remain, yours respectfully, JOHN JESSOP. .THE CONSTITUTION BALLS ARE PREPARED ONLY BY FRANCIS CUPISS, M. R. V. C.

THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS JL Medicine for General Use is Frampton's Pill of Health, which effectually relieves the stomach and bow- els by gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly grateful to the sto- mach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve laogudr and depression of spirits; while to those of a full habit and free livers, who are continually suffering from drow- siness, heaviness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated. This medicine has for many years received the approval of the most respectable classes of society; and in con- firmation of its efficacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout, with permission to pub- lish it, and if requisite, to refer, any respectable person to its author. To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Heavitree, Exeter, April 24th, 1844. Sir,—I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsolicited testimony to the excellence of your I Frampton's Pill or Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them-very rarely having recourse to other medicines for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value as a friend in need;' certainly none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, *11 Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. Hd. and 2s. 9d. per box.

THE extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician, who savs :—" After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PILLS, I am determined, in my opinion, that the following are their true properties "First—They increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty- four hours, and. instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have im- parted a lasting strength to the body. Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve piUs you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take; and if you will persevere in regu- larly taking from three to six pills every day. your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found. after given them a fair trial for a few weeks. to possess the most astonishing and invigora- ting properti, that they will overcome all obstinate com- plaints, and restore sound health; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use; whilst their .i?dn.? as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. TO PERSONS GOING ABROAD. These Pills are particularlv recommended to an persons going abroad, and subjecting themselves to great change of climate. Officers of the Army and Navy, Missionaries, Emi- grants, &c., will find them an invaluable appendage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of those dis- eases so prevalent in our Colonies, especiallv in the West Indies, where a small box recently sold for 10s. In America also Its fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre- ciated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no country or port in the world where it will not speedily be- come an article of extensive traffic and general utilitv, as it may be had recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confi- deuce in its simplicity, and in its power to produce relief. None are genuine, unless the words "PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in White letters on a Red Ground, on the Govern- ment Stamp, pasted round each box: also the fac-simile of the signature of the Proprietors, "T. ROBERTS and Co., Crane-court, Fleet-street, Lond n," on the Directions Sold in boxes at Is. I id., 2s. 9d., and family packets at lis. each. by all respectable medicine venders throughout the world.

THOMAS HOWARD'S SUCCEDANEUM, FOR filling Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity. J. It is superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in mas- tication. All persons can use this SUCCEDANEUM THEMSELVES WITH EASE, as full directions are enclosed. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas Howard, Surgeon Dentist, to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, 17, George-street, Hanover-square, London, who will send the Succedaneum free by Post to any part of the king- dom.

Mr. Howard's Succedaneilm will keep good in India, and the Colonies for any length ottime. LOSS OF TEETH. i Mr. Howard continues to supply the Loss of Teeth without springs or wires upon his new system of SELF- ADHESION, and without extracting any Teeth or Stumps, or giving any pain whatever. This method has procured him universal approbation, and is recommended by nu- merous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented in all cases restoring Perfect Articulation and Mastication, and so perfectly natural in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining roots without causing the least pain, rendering the pain- ful operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth, where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. He also begs to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as practised by most Dentists, to inspect his painless yet effective system. Those in- terested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct.

It is particularly addressed to those who are prevented in consequence, from entering into the marriage state, and points out the sure means of perfect and secret restoration to manhood. It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings. PART THE THIRD treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for their treatment. The consequences of early neglect or of mistreatment, and of the abuse of mercury, in entailing broken health, and a miserable existence, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated by Seventeen Coloured Engravings. PART THE FOURTH contains a prescription for the Prevention of Disease by a simple application, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system. This important part of the Work should not escape the reader's notice. PART THE FIFTH is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its duties. The reason of physical dis- qualifications, and the causes of unproductive unions are also considered, and the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into.

Mackie, a respectable Quaker, dated Creenagh, near Loughal, Ireland, dated September I I tlt, 1848. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. RESPECTED FRIEND,—Thy excellent Pills have effec- tually cured me of an Asthma, which afflicted me for three years to such an extent, that I was obliged to walk my room at night for air, afraid of being suffocated if I went to bed by cough and phlegm. Besides taking the PiUs, I rubbed plenty of thy Ointment into my chest night and morning. (Signed) BENJAMIN MACKIE. Cure oj Typhus Fever, when supposed to be at the Point of Death. A respectable female in the neighbourhood of Loug- hal, was attacked with Typhus Fever, and lay for five days without having tasted any description of food. She was given over by the Surgeon, and preparations were made for her demise. Mr. Benjamin Mackie, the Quaker, whose case is referred toftbwet heard of the circumstance, anct knowing the immense benefit that he himself had derived from Holloway's Pills, recommended an imme- diate trial, and eight were given to her, and the same number was continued night and morning for three days, and in a very short time she was completely cured. N.B.—From advice just received, it appears that Col. Dear, who is with his Regiment in India, the 21st Fusileers, cured himself of a very bad attack of Fever by these celebrated Pills. There is no doubt that any Fever, however malignant, may be cured by taking night and morning, copious doses of this fine medicine. The patient should be induced to drink plentifully of warm linseed tea or barley water. CURE OF DROPSY IN THE CHEST. Extract of a letter from J. S. Mundy, Esq., dated Ken- nington, near Oxford, December, 2nd, 1848. To PROFESSO* HOLLOWAY. Srit,-My Shepherd for some time was afflicted with water on the chest, when I heard of it, I immediately advised him to try your Pills, which he did, and was per- fectly cured, and is now as well as ever he was in his life. As I myself received so astonishing a cure last year from your Pills and Ointment, it has ever since been my most earnest endeavour to make known their excellent qualities. (Signed) J. S. MUNDY. The Earl of Aldborough cured of a Liver and Stomach Complaint. Extract of a Letter from His Lordship, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, 21st Feb., 1845. To PROFESSC* HOLLOWAY. SIR,-Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my thanking you before this time for your politeness in sending me your Pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect; nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another box and a pot of the ointment, in case any of my family should ever require either. Your most obliged and obedient servant, (Signed) ALBBOROUOH. Cure of a Debilitated Constitution. Mr. Mate, a Storekeeper, of Gundagai, New South Wales, had been for some time in a most delicate state of health, his constitution was so debilitated that his death was shortly looked upon by himself and friends as cer- tain but as a forlorn hope, he was induced to try Hol- loway's Pills, which had an immediate and surprising effect upon his system, and the result was to restore him in a few weeks to perfect health and strength, to the surprise of all who knew him. He considered his case so extraordinary that he, in gratitude, sent it for publi- cation, to the Sydney Morning Herald, in which paper it appeared on the 2nd January, 1848. A few doses of the Pills will quickly rally the energies of both body and mind, when other medicines have failed. Sold at the Establishment of Professor Holloway, 24t, Strand, (near Temple Bar) London, and by most all respectable druggists, and dealers in medicines through- out the civilised world, at the following pricesIs. 14d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., lis., 2.)s. and 33s. each box.

THURSDAY, FEB. 1. I To-day the Queen in person, with the usual pomp and pageantry, opened Parliament. Her Majesty looked well, and was greeted by a dense crowd, the whole line of the procession, very cordially and respectfully. In the House of Lords the attendance of peeresses and other ladies was more numerous than it has been for some years. Every seat seemed occupied. The chamber itself looked brilliant, and seemed less glaring than it was last session. The foreign ministers occupied seats at the back of the Bishops' Bench. Their attendance was very large. The entrance of the newly appointed Russian Ambassador caused quite a sensation among his brethren. The representative of the Rajah of Sattara, Bunjo Rapogee, occupied a seat in the gallery. Among the peers who arrived early, were the Duke of Wellington, who appeared hardly so bale as he was, the Earl of Faversham, the Archbishops of Canterbury and Dublin, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Duke of Argyle, the Bishop of London, Earl of Ellesmere, &c.—The Earl of Minto, attired in his official costume, was the first minister that entered the House. Earl Grey and the Marquis of Clanricarde were the next arrivals. The Marquis of Lansdowne next arrived in his official costume.—The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at half-past one.—The judges present were Lord Denman, the Chief Baron, Barons Parke, Platt, Rolfe; Justices Pattison, Wightman, and Williams.—At a quarter past two a ffourish of tbe heralds trumpets ana a salvo of artillery announced the arrival of the Queen. Having robed, her Majesty, attended by Prince Albert and the officers and ladies of her household, took her seat on the throne at twenty minutes after two. Having commanded the assembly to be seated, she directed the usher of the Black Rod to summon the members of the House of Commons.—The Speaker, attired in bis robes, shortly after appeared at the bar, accompanied by about 100 of the members, who, in entering, made much noise, and caused many smiles, in their eagerness to get close to the bar-The Lord Chancellor then handed the speech to her Majesty, who read it with her usual dis- tinct articulation. [By great exertion we succeeded in giving Her Ma- jesty's speech in a second edition of the Welshman, but several of the mails had left previous to its arrival in this town, it was therefore of necessity omitted in the edition forwarded by those posts.] THE ADDRESS. The House re-assembled at five, and Earl Bruce moved the Address in answer to her Majesty's speech. On the topics of the speech the noble lord touched briefly, and concluded by moving the Address, which was, as usual, an echo of the speech. Lord Bateman seconded the address. Lord Brougham regretted that the assent which he was desirous of giving to the speech from the throne was not altogether so unqualified as he could wish. He greatly feared that, in the fair representation of manu- facturing and commercial prosperity of the country, his noble friends in the Government and their equally noble supporters had made some slight mistake in the as- sumption of a gain of ESOO,000 at the present moment in the revenue. He applauded all the measures which his noble friends on the other side of the House had taken, but he fpared that the fairy aspect of things would lose something of its beauty, when he reminded their lordships that this gain of £ 800,000 would absolutely pease this very day, for it so happened that this same £ 800,000 was last year received for the duties on corn, which duties had now altogether been virtually done away with. He (Lord Brougham) could not help feel- ing that an agitation of a popular description had been commenced in this country, under very unhappy aus- pices, against which he would take his stand in the out- set-an agitation against the landed interest. He saw no prospect of making with safety any great reduction in our military establishments. (Hear.) The noble lord then took a review of the foreign policy of the country, which he generally censured. He approved of what was said in her Majesty's speech with respect to Ireland, and of necessary measures of coercion for that country. He wished for the continuance of that new law but for the better executing of that new law, he wished Ireland had the inestimable benefit of new lawyers. (Hear, and a laugh). Would any man out of Ireland ever have thought of putting fifteen men on their trial for an offence under a new act of Parliament, without describing the offence created by that act ? But in Ireland they put a man on his trial without telling the court what he was to be tried for. (Re- newed laughter.) The noble and learned lord passed some severe comments on the crown lawyers in Irelaud. Lord Beaumont eulogised the foreign policy of the Government. The Earl of Winchelsea deprecated any attempt to reduce the military or naval strength of the country. Lord Stanley expressed his surprise that no one of her Majesty's Ministers had thought it necessary to re- ply to the comments of his noble and learned friend, Lord Brougham. But, my lords, continued Lord Stanley, I do really believe that such is the simplicity of mind of her Majesty's Ministers, such the art—the consum- mate art of my noble & learned friend, that her Majesty's Ministers are actually under the impression that the observations which my noble friend has made upon the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government were really intended to be of a laudatory character, and expressing an entire approbation of what they have done, and a perfect confidence in what they intended to do. (" Hear, hear," from the Marquis of Lansdowne). The noble lord then took a comprehensive survey of the foreign and Irish policy of Ministers, which he generally con- demned. He maintained that the assertion of pro- gressive improvement in the revenue was without foun- dation in reality, and concluded with moving, as an amendment, the following addition to the address: We regret, however, to be compelled humbly to repre- sent to your Majesty, that neither your Majesty's relations with foreign powers, nor the state of the re- venue, nor the condition of the commercial and manu facturing interests of the country are such as, in our opinion, justify us in addressing your Majesty in lan- guage of congratulation, and that large portions of the agricultural and colonial interests of the empire are labouring under a state of progressive depression, cal- culated to excite serious apprehensions and anxieties." The Marquis of Lansdowne defended the measures of Government. The noble lord was generally inaudible in the gallery. The Duke of Richmond trusted protection would again become the law of the land. He might be told that it was unlikely or impossible, but what was un- likely when it was remembered that, in 1841, the Peelites voted for the repeal of the corn laws. He would contend to the last for the principles of protection, and to his dying day it would be a source of regret to him that so many of their lordships had voted for the repeal of the corn laws against their own convictions. (Hear.) Earls Fitzwilliam and Yarborough and the Duke of Antyle spoke against the amendment. The Duke of Wellington entreated their lordships not to let it go forth that they disagreed on the subject of their foreign negotiations, and expressed his deter- mination to vote against the amendment. (Hear from the ministerial benches.) After a few words from Lord Stanley, the House divided Contents 52 Non-contenta. 54 Majority. -2 The address was then agreed to, and the House ad- journed at twelve till Monday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY, FEB. 1. The House assembled at half-past one in the first in- stance, and was soon after summoned to attend her Majesty in the House of Lords. Amongst the members earliest in attendance were Lord Lincoln, Mr. Hume, Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Glad- stone, Sir De Lacy Evans, Col. Thompson, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. C. Anstey, Mr. Stuart Wortley, and Mr. Brotherton. ELECTIONS. At four the members re-assembled, when, on the motion of Mr. Tuffnell, new writs were ordered to be issued for Portsmouth, Horsham, Hull, South Devon, Leominster, aad Bolton. Messrs. Crowder, Bass, and Blair, took their seats re- spectively for Liskeard, Derby, and Bolton. MINISTERIAL MEASURES. Mr. Tuffnell stated the course Ministers intended to pursue. To-morrow the Chancellor of the Exchequer would move for leave to bring in a bill to consolidate the Stamp and Excise department. On Monday Lord J. Russell would move the sessional orders. On Tues- day Sir W. Somerville would move for leave to bring in a bill to continue the bill for the su<^ension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. On Friday Lord John Russell would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend and alter the Irish Poor-law; and on Monday week would move for a Committee of the whole House to take into consideration the repeal of the navigation laws. DURATION OF PARLIAMENT. Lord Dudley Stuart gave notice that he should ask for leave to bring ia a bill to repeal the Septennial Act, and to limit the duration of Parliament to three years.. THE ADDRESS. The Speaker having read her Majesty's speech, Lord H. Vane rose to move the customary address. The noble lord expressed his concurrence in all the policy of her Majesty's Government, to which allusion was made in the speech. Mr. Bunburv seconded the address which was then read by the Speaker. Mr, Grattan and Mr. Disraeli ro-e together. The (who was much cheered) then said that both in the speech which her Majesty had been pleased to ad- dress to her Parliament, and in the address which had been proposed to the House he did not find a candid statement either as regarded the internal condition of this country, or its external relations. (Hear, hear.) At this moment, important and nume- rous as were the subjects for their consideration, doubt- less the most excellent would seem to be the state of Ireland. The language which he found in a note he had made of the speech did not convey, as it appeared to him, the impression that her Majesty's Ministers were of opinion that the state of Ireland required any immediate relief. (Hear, hear.) The language was austere, and if it could be satisfactorily explained, it would show the advantage of discussion in the present instance. He thought it was very great importance to know what Ministers meant by the earliest" inquiry ? Was it an inquiry by a committee of the House of Commons ? In that case, inquiry, no doubt, might be early, but the oenclusion most probably would be de- layed: (Hear, hear ) And why inquiry by a com- mittee ? They had had sufficient experience of what inquiries by committees of the Honse of Commons might accomplish on subjects in which the Administra- tion ought to have the initiative. He was bound to say, also, that they were called upon to assent to a statement respecting the revival of commerce, which was contrary to the fact, and which was calculated to do a great deal of evil. The hon. gentleman then pointed out the inconsistency of some of the Irish members who now complained of the effects of free trade, yet had voted for the repeal of the corn laws, and expressed no regret for having so voted. (Hear.) He then passed the following eulogium on the late Lord G. Bentinck There was a policy once proposed in this House, with respect to Ireland, which by the Irish members was defeated, but which, if it had been pursued, would have produced very different effects in that country from what we now behold, and which in fact the Government wh o opposed it were obliged afterwards partially to adopt. (Hear, hear.) The proposer of that policy is no longer amongst us. At a time when everything that is occurring indicates his prescience and demands his eulogy, we have no longer his sagacity to guide or his energy to sustain us. In the midst of the parliamentary strife his plume can soar no more for us to rally round but he has left us the legacy of heroes-the memory of his great name, and the inspiration of his great example. (Applause.) Mr. Disraeli then stated that his opinion of the foreign policy of the present Government was unchanged. He severely censured the late agitation of the Leaguers. What is brute force ? asked the hon. gen- tleman. I find a man, with just as much facility of speech as enables him to command the attention of a multitude, haranguing great bodies of his countrymen, and making inflammatory appeals to them. That is what I call a demonstration of brute force—( cheers and laughter)—a demonstration which, if there be any sense of spirit left with men of might and leading in this country, they will endeavour to put down as an intolerable and ignominious tyranny. (Great cheering from the Opposition benches.) I have observed, sir, that the hangers-on of the new system quote with much satisfaction the words of the great Swede: With how little wisdom the world is governed. Were I blessed with offspring, I would address my son in this style — My son"—(great laughter at the solemnity of the hon. gentleman)—"you see with how much ignorance you can agitate a nation." (Great laughter & cheering.) The Queen's Ministers are truckling to those men. (Hear, hear.) That is the position of affairs." He concluded by moving an amendment of a similar j import to that moved by Lord Stanley in the other House. Mr. H. Grattan moved an amendment to the address to the effect, that the disturbances in Ireland had not been renewed, but that a feeling of discontent, aug- mented by distress, still existed, which it would be their duty as speedily as possible to allay. This amendment was seoonded by m. J. O'Connell, and supported by Mr. Fagan. Lord J. Russell, in appeating to the House against the amendment, referred generally to the state of the country, for the last year, both in connection with its internal condition and its foreign relations. The atti- tude which it had been able to maintain was, after Pro- vidence, owing to the energy and prudence and the forbearance of the English people; but he did think that if the Government was-not entitled to credit in the matter, it deserved this at least, that it should not be condemned on the first night of the session. (Loud cheers.) I Mr. E. Roche and Mr. Herbert addressed the House on the affairs of Ireland. Mr. Hume severely condemned the colonial rule of the Government in Ceylon, Guiana, and the Mauritius. He considered that the noble lord at the head of the colonial office (Earl Grey) ought to be immediately removed. (Hear.) Mr. Stafford moved the adjournment of the debate, but after some conversation withdrew his motion, whereupon the House divided upon Mr. Grattan's amendment. I For the amendment 12 ¡ Against it. 200 1 Majority. 188 I The debate was then, on the motion of Mr. Stafford, I adjourned, and the House broke up at half-past 12. FRIDAY, FEB. 2. j -3- ]I, -'I wrus were uruerea lor iJonegal, vice Colonel Uonollv deceased, and for Cardigan districts, vice Mr. Pryse, deceased. Notice was given by Mr. Moffatt of a bill for the better recovery of debts from persons having privilege of Parliament, and for the exclusion of insolvent mem- bers from the House of Commons and by Mr. Grattan, for a return of the force employed in Ireland last year to suppress disturbances, of the number of killed and wounded on each side (laughter), and of the number arrested under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Mr. Mitchell presented a petition from the corporation of Bridport, against unnecessary warlike expenditure, and for international arbitrations. Sir J. Parkington inquired whether it was the inten- tion of the noble lord at the head of the Government to propose any alteration in the rules and orders of the house for the regulation of business, in conformity with the recommendations of the committee of last year ? Lord J. Russell replied, that he intended to propose several resolutions in consequence of the report of that committee. He also intended to propose some other resolutions on the subject of the sessional orders, which, he thought, would constitute a great improve- ment in the mode of carrying on the business of the house. He would bring forward this matter the first thing on Monday, but he would take care that the resolutions he intended,to propose should be in the hands of members to-morrow, It would be desirable to pass some of the resolutions immediately, but with respect to those not immediately pressing he should be ready to adjourn the debate, if the house should require time for further deliberation. Mr. Hume said, that a bill for the regulation of charitable trusts was last year in the course of progress, and he wished to know whether it would be brought forward again this year at an early period, so as to afford a chance of its being passed ? Lord J. Russell said that the Lord Chancellor had that measure under his consideration, and he believed that it was the noble and learned lord's intention to bring it forward again. Colonel Sibthorp trusted the noble lord at the head of the Government would give the house an assurance that a strict inquiry would take place into the conduct of all parties connected with the recent lamentable occurrences at Tooting, and that an endeavour would be made to prevevent the recurrenee of a similar misfortune. Lord J. Russell said that the whole subject was under the consideration of the Secretary of State for the Home Department and of the Poor Law Commission. He could not precisely answer the hon. gentleman's question, but he could assure him that both the right hon. Secretary for the Home Department and the President of the Poor Law Commission were anxious for the fullest inquiry, and that the dreadful scenes which had been recently heard of in connexion with Tooting should be prevented in future. (Hear, hear.) The adjourned debate on Mr. Disraeli's amendment was resumed by Mr. Augustus Stafford who followed his new leader in a general attack on the Government. After some observations from Sir John Walsh, Mr. Monckton Milnes, and the Earl of Mandeville, Mr. Horsman expressed a hope that the retrenchment which the Government promised would be a real and not a fictitious retrenchment. He thought that Parliament should share with the foreign department any odium which might attach to the management of our foreign affairs. The great evil in our system of foreign policy was its secrecy. The public ought to be parties to it. The Hon. F. Scott attacked at some length the foreign and colonial policy of the Government, and, after some pleasantries from Colonel Sibthorp, Sir De Lacy Evans defended the foreign policy of the Govern- ment. He pressed upon them the necessity for re- pealing the legacy duty. Captain Harris characterised the whole of the speech put into the hands of her Majesty as a mis-statement of facts from beginning to end. Mr. George Bankes spoke strongly in favour of the amendment and after a speech from Mr. Urquhart in which he launched into an attack upou the foreign secretary, Lord Palmerston entered into a masterly defence of his policy, in the course of which he animadverted in strong terms upon Mr. Disraeli's censures A motion was then made for the adjournment of the debate. The house divided, when the motion was lost by a majority of 221 to 80. Mr. Disraeli's I"

I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has presented the sum of C200 towards the general funds of the Natioaat Society, and f50 towards the Welsh fund. We mentioned some some time since a rumour that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland was to have the garter vacated by the death of the late Earl of CarMsle. We are now enabled to state positively that bef Majesty has conferred that honour on the Earl of Clarendon. The First Lord of the Admiralty has conferred the first good service pension which has fallea to his pa- tronage on that distinguished oiffcer, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B., K.C.H who was for some time during the war commander-in-cbief in China. The Archbishop of York has been elected one of the Governors of the Charter-house, in the room of the late Viscount Melbourne. Lord J. Russell has ordered E200 to be paid from ths fund for special service" to Mr. E. W. Lane, the author of the Modern Egyptians." Mr. Lane is now compiling a lexicon of the Arabic language. An appointment as Military Knight of Windsor ir vacant by the death of Lieut. Colonel Campbell. Mr. Phillimore, who so suddenly re-appeared as a candidate for Leominster last week, has a second time retired, and left the field to Mr. Frederick Peel, who is now the only candidate. The cost of the Dublin police is estimated at E70,000 a year, towards which only £ 20,000 is collected, the rest being defrayed by Goverment. The reduction of the standing army at home is to be effected by the increase in the number of the Queen's troops serving in India. The 8th Hussars and the 12th Lancers are under orders for India. The recorder of Gloucester, (George Chilton, Esq.,) has resolved to disallow the expenses of tradesmen who having exposed their goods for sale outside their shops, have found it necessary to prosecute parties for robbing them. It has been calculated that every 74-gun ship te- quires 2000 oak trees of 75 years growth m her con- struction, and that such trees would occupy fifty acres of ground. The Roman Catholics of New York are about to hold a public meeting, to request the Pope to take up his permanent residence in America. A warrant has just been issued granting good conduct badges on the arm and additional pay to well conducted seamen of the royal navy, who will now enjoy similar advantages to those which have been enjoyed for some time by soldiers in the army. Meetings of owners and occupiers of land have beea held at Cambridge and Newmarket, when it was amasi- mously resolved, that the malt tax is a most unjust and oppressive burden upon the producing classes of thit great kingdom, and that the immediate and total repeal of the tax would be hailed as the commencement of just legislation towards the agricultural portion of the com- munity. Petitions to Parliament were resolved upon. On Saturday an Admiralty circular was issued to the various dockyards, transmitting 26 minutes, which con- sist of a plan for reducing the expenditure and increasing the efficiency of the dockyard establishment. The Rev. John Smith, M.A., of Magdalen-hall. Oxford, late a missionary in China, and author of a work of great interest on that country, has been nomi- nated by the Queen to the bishopric of Hong Kong.— Standard. On Sunday evening week, a long-beaded weaver, who had a loom allowed him in Wakefield house of cor- rection, fashioned it into a lever and a ladder. With the former he broke the bars of his window with the latter he scaled the wall of the prison. The governor saw him no more. Dr. Browne, of the Crichton Institution, has sent a donation of upwards of E20 for the benefit of the poor of Dumfries, contributed by the lunatics! The Germans say that English diet is too concen- trated, too stimulating, and they endeavour to improve it by villanous compounds of fruits and vegetables, greasy soups, and putrid cabbage. The meat, generally speaking, is very bad.-Medical Times. A clergyman not long since called at a house in his parish, near Uxbridge, which is let out as lodgings for travellers," and in the room was a map of the county, with the principal houses inserted, underieath which was written—" The red lines denote the 'nha- bitants that give, the black that do not." His own was un- derlined with the former, which he altered to black, and the diminished number of calls was most marked. A lady" assuming the somewhat romantic name of I Mrs. Beverley," has been victimizing some of the Clifton tradespeople this week, and has succeeded in getting clear off with her booty. At Austin and Gre- gory's Berlin repository, besides selecting some of the choicest needlework and fancy stationery, three purses were ordered to be made in the most expensive and elegant style, two of them being required immediately, to send out to her brother in India, but the other was not in so great a hurry, as it was intended for a friend whose wedding was to take place in the early part of this month. The Misses Goodland were also favoured with orders for millinery to theextent of L4, and various other shop-keepers are losers for smaller amounts. On Wednesday Mrs. Beverley left her lodging, having paid for them, and intimating her intention to return in the summer. Of this, however, there are but slender hopes. as, from inquiries being made of the only person with whom she was seen, it seems that Mrs. Beverley also bore, at times, the name of Miss Boyce, living with her aunt, and the character which she sustained under this title may be easily inferred. Mrs. Beverley was of light complexion, middle height, dressed rather in the extreme mode, and is by no means remarkable for attention to the rules of Lindley Murray. Should she pay a visit to any of the neighbouring towns, we have no doubt that an intimation of her whereabouts would be acceptable to any of the Clifton tradesmen whom she has patronized. CIVIL WAR.—A worthy miller was reading an sr- count of the first disturbances at Berlin, and, among other matters, he read that the burgher guard and the people shook hands in the most amicable manner." Ah, said he, now I see-now I see—that's what they call civil war, I reckon." He had heard of civil war before, but never could comprehend the civility of it till then. UNNATURAL LITIGATION.—A case occurred the other day in the Court of Common Pleas, reported as the Dean and Chapter of Ely versus Cash." We never heard of Dean and Chapter having any objection to Cash before. This law-suit can only be a lover's quarrel.—Punch. How TO OET A LIFT.—" Pray," said Mr. to a gentleman he overtook on the road, will you have the complaisance to take my great coat in your carriage to town ?" With pleasure, sir, but how will you get it again ?" Oh, very easy," replied the modest applicant: I shall remain in it." YORKSHIRE JURORS. I remember," says Lord Eldon, Mr. Justice Gould trying a case at York and when he had proceeded for about two hours, he ob- served, Here are only eleven jurymen in the box where is the twelfth ?' Please you, my lord,' said one of the eleven, he is gone away about some business, and he has left his verdict with me." CALIFORNIA.—California is said to have been visited by Sir Francis Drake in 1578, and was discovered by Cortes in 1536. During a long period California continued to be so little frequented that even its form was unknown, and in most Charts it was represented as an island. During the last century the Court of Madrid appointed Don Joseph Galves to visit this peninsula. His account of the country was favourable he found the pearl fishery on its coast to be valuable. and he discovered mines of gold of a very promising appearance. It is inhabited by various tribes, but acknowledges no head or chief; each father is a prince over his own family. ORIGIN OF NEGROES.—The lower order of Brazilian* entertain the following singular belief as to their original formation :—" At the time," say they, of the- creation of Adam, Satan looked on and formed a man of clay, but everything he touched becoming black, he determined to wash him white in the Jordan. On his approach, the river retired, and he had only time to push the black man on the wet sand, which, touching the soles of his feet and the palms of his hands, accounts for the whiteness of those parts. In a rage, the devil struck his creation on the nose, by which the flatness of that organ was accomplished The negro then begged for mercy as no blame could be attached to him; upon which the other, somewhat pacified, patted him on the head, and by the heat of his hand curled his hair in the way it is seen at the nT"- dn "-1), Adam Clarke. W HAT DIn HE SAT. LIDDY ?"—Good old Mrs. Call wa quite hard of hearing, being somewhat ad. vanced in years. Her daughter Lydia was a bonnie lass, who loved a good time," and knew how to get it up. Lydia had arranged a junket, and the young men and maids were all at hand; among the rest was the general, then one of 'em. In the midst of the fun in popped old Deacon L., to see how the widow fured. This was a wet blanket upon the merriment; and the deacon he hunir on till Lydia was all out of patience. She kept wishing and wishing he would go, and by-and-by he jiets up to depart. Oh, deacon. deacon," said mother Call, don't think of going before tea! Oh, do stop to tea. won't your" The deacon, so strongly ureed, replied, Well, 1 rather think I will, as the folks will not expect me home before dark." What did he say. Liddy ?" said the widow. Lydia had a ready answer—" He says he will not to-day, as the folks expect him home before dark. Why, how deaf you grow, mother Oh, well, come some other day, deacon now do" won t you. said Mother Call, as she bowed the deacon out. Smart al th
