ours . Was it- impossible to accomplish some amicable arrangements , by which two great nations mi ght put a stop to this childish game of beggarmy-Ecighbour . -Lord J . Russell admitted that a popular prejudice existed arainst the management of the public doo k-yardU , but denied that it was well founded . ( Hear , hear . ) Considerable improvements bad been effected , rendering the works more economical and more efficient , and removing the stigma of corruption and favouritism . As to the number of men , it was below the average of the past ten years ; and with respect to construction expenses , it must be remembered that a new power bad lately obtained a vast development , rendering attacks " more easy
and rapid , and compelling a prudent provision of similar means for defence . ( Hear , bear . ) Steam had gone far to deprive this country of the security it once enjoyed from its insular position , and obliged us to look with more jealousy upon the means bf offence possessed by our neighbours . Under the circumstances , with an army comparatively so weak , and no reserve ef militia , the naval defences of the countrv were of incalculable , importance . ( Hear , hear . ) ' He did not fear invasion , yet could not look upon it as impossible ; and those verv free trade measures which extended relationships of commerce and amnity with the rest of the
world , at the same time p laced a weapon in the Lands of other nations who mightdeeplymjurens by slopping the supplies of food . ( Cheers and laughter from the Protectionists . ) As trade increased , so its safeguards ought to be preserved ; and considering how numerous were our points of contact , and chances of collision , with nations only imperfectly Civilised , the maintenance of the navy at its past average , could not be deemed extravagant . Be should postpone any detailed comment upon the African squadron ; but affirmed that the efforts of onr cruisers Jiad been very successful , and the cause was one of which we had reason to be proud .
Mr . Milker Gibsox joined issue with the Premier npon the plea that free trade had rendered a lanje naval force more necessary . ( Dear , hear ) The commercial influences were eminently pacific , and the increase of our merchant shipping was a practical increase to the available maritime strength of the country . The proposition was not to abolish the navy , hut turned upon a question of degree . ( Hear , hear . ) Considering that steamers required fewer seamen than sailing vessels , and that 30 , 000 men had heretofore been found amply sufficient for the naval service , he felt justified in voting for the retrenchment moved by Mr . Hume . He feared that the proceedings of the slave squadron had been injurious , especially in Brazil , to tbe very cause it was intended to support , by provoking hostility , and preventing the development of anti-slavery doctrines in that country .
Mr . Cabuweu . contended that the presence of onr ships on the coasts of Brazil had strengthened the hands of tho British negotiators , and aided in enforcing the treaties by which the slave trade was prohibited . Capt . Berkeley apprehended that merchant seamen , isnorant of gunnery , wonld prove very inefficient if drafted npon an emergency into the war navy . After a few words from Mr . Plojiptbe and Mr . S . Crawford , Col . Tuoirrso . v declared that he should vote for Mr . Heme ' s amendment , though not for that hon . member ' s reasons . The committee divided npon the amendment . JiTCS ••« «•* ••• •«• OX Xoes ... 169—108 The vote then passed as originally proposed by the government .
The following votes for wages and victualling , respectively £ 1 , 435 , 723 , and £ 500 , 632 , were also passed after some conversation . The vote for Admiralty salaries , £ 133 , 625 , being proposed , Colonel Sisxaonr accused the hoard of general incompetence and extravagance , and pronounced his own mistrust of the government generally . He suggested the propriety of reducing the official salaries , now that bread was so cheap . Mr . Wiluams remarked that the salaries this year were £ 11 , 000 higher than in 1814 , when the effective force of seamen was qnite as large . Several members having made some desultory remarks and inquiries , to which Sir P . Baring replied , a division took place , when Col . Sibthorp ' s amendment waa negatived by 193 votes to Simajority , 159 .
£ 43 , 635 for the scientific branch ; £ 134 , 699 for establishments at home ; £ 23 , 654 for establisments abroad ; and £ 676 , 416 for wages to artificers , were voted after some miscellaneous discussion . The house adjourned at one o ' clock . TUESDAY , MARCH 11 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —The Earl of PnzwLUiu , in presenting a petition , made some observations on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill , and after stating that though he did not go so far as some in their indignation against the Papal aggression , still he was desirous that some measure to repel it should be adopted , and wished to know if the alterations about to be made in the measure now before the House of Commons wonld tend to render it inoperative .
The Marquis of Laksdowxe replied , that certain alterations were about to be made in the measure to which Earl ftizwrxuAU had referred . The house wonld have ample time to consider the nature of those alterations when the bill came before it in due form . He could only say that the principle of the bill would remain untouched . Tho matter then dropped , and their Lordships adjourned after despatching some other busines . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —On the motion of Mr . Clements , anew writ was ordered to issue for the borough of Dungarvnn , Mr . Sheil having accepted the Chiltern Hundreds .
Woods urn Fohesh . —Viscount Ddxcas moved a resolution that all the monies received from the royal forests and other branches of tbe land revenues of the crown should henceforth be paid into the Exchequer , and accounted for among the ordinary receipts of the national Treasury . The noble lord based his resolution upon the fact that out of a gross revenue of £ 2446 , 785 derived from the crown lands within the past seven years , only £ 774 , 000 had reached tho public Exchequer ; and supported his arguments by a voluminous detail of waste , fraud , and mismanagement arising out of the anomalous and irresponsible manner in which those revenues were now administered . Lord Seimocb referred to the old accounts of the
Woods and Forests office to show that the net revenue had been gradually improved , having advanced in England from £ 43 , 000 to £ 203 , 300 , since 1809 ; in Scotland from £ 14 , 900 to £ 26 , 800 since 1832 ; and in the Isle of Man , from £ 1 , 400 to £ 5 , 000 since 1827 . From these improvements he argued that the past management had not been altogether reckless . Turning to tbe figures quoted by Lord TJunean , he claimed , besides the £ 774 , 000 acknowledged on the face of the receipts , the further items of £ 145 , 000 balance in hand ; £ 116 , 009 paid under a vote of parliament for the Victoria Park , and £ 216 , 000 expended under the provisions of various acts of parliament , some of which were
as old as the reign of Charles II . Fort ^ ermore there were large sums appropriated toa series of improvements under the direction of the Board of "Works . These deductions would leave bat a comparatively small amount , and wonld come under tbe supervision of tha house if the resolution were carried ; ; and it would also throw difficulties in the way of the intended separation of the Board of Works from the Woods and Forests department He proposed as an amendment , a motion for leave to bring ia a bill to amend the management of the land revenues ef the crown and separating the stewardship of tbe royal estates from the superintendence of the Public "Works .
After a suggestion from Mr . Home that the resolution should be passed as a basis for the introduction of a bill hereafter , Sir B . Hall recommended that the crown properties which had been so unwisely administered should be treated as the incumbered estates of Ireland were treated and sold for the public benefit . He wished that the resolution before them should be passed , in order that parliament might get the estates into its hands and ascertain their value . Sir H . Wulouobbt adduced many instances of improvidence and waste in the past system of management , and stated that £ 1 , 200 , 000 value of lands and property bad been sold , the money being laid out unprofitable , or left almost wholly unaccounted for . There were very largs sums at stake , and a deplorable lack of checks and responsibility . Lord Dcscai * replied . . .
The bouse divided , and the motion was carried against the governmennt by a majority of 120 to On " the motion of Sir G . Pechell , certain returns were ordered respecting Greenwich Hospital . The report of the committee of supply on the navy estimates was brought up and agreed to . - Th . J ! econd re" *""! of the Metropolitan Build . iDgsBill was postponed unta Monday . The Coimnons Enclosure Bill passed tbroueb . oommittee . *^ ""« B " Adjourned at a quarter-past seven . rTEDHESDAT , Mahch 12 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . -The house met at loon .
Coustv Rites ahd ExpiSMTrjBK Bill . —Mr . M Gibson moved tha second reading of this bill . By this measure county financial boards were established , composed partly of magistrates and partly of representatives elected by the ratepayers . The principle of admitting the latter body to a share of control over the expenditure to which they COH * tribnted had been sanctioned by parliament last year , and was widely supported throughout the country . Sir J . Pibkikqtok strongl y objected to a measure which he said would materially interfere with the
!¦::.'. - -. Monday-; ! Mxhch 10i House ...
functions of the county justices , especially ^ by taking out of their bauds the control over the police and the gaols . He appealed to the . house and the Homo Secretary not to tamper with that valuable institution , the unpaid magistracy of the country , bv adopting an unjust and mischievous bill . •'•'•' ' Sir G . Ghbt replied to the appeal by declaring that he considered tbe principle on which the measure was founded , viz ., the admission , of the ratepavers to control over the county rates , perfectly unobjectionable . ( Hear , hear . ) There were , however , many details that would require amendment in committee , some of which the right hon . baronet proceeded to point out .
Mr . W . Miles thought in was the duty of the government to undertake the responsibility of passing a measure whose principle they adopted . From his own experience he doubted the possibility of managing the county affairs better or more economically than they were all present . Mr . Home supported the bill , as carrying out the great principle that representation and taxation should go hand in hand . After some further discussion , the bill was read a second time , opon the understanding that it was to be referred toa select committee , with the consent of Mr . M . Gibson and under thepromisedproteetion of Lord J . Russell .
Expenses of PHosEcono . vs Ban . —The motion for the second reading of this bill led to a brief conversation in the course of which Mr . Hume recommended the appointment of a public prosecutor ; and Sir G . Grey explained that tbe design of tbe measure was to check the irregularities and extravagance that had risen from the payment of prosecution expenses out of the Consolidated Fund . The bill was read a " second time , and ordered to be committed on Wednesday next . Apprentices isn Skhvaxts Bill . —Mr . Baixes , in moving tbe second reading of this bill , specified the defects in law which it proposed to remedy , and the nature of the remedies . The case of the Slones , he observed—and there had been others of a similar character—afforded an illustration of the defective state of the law . The first defect
was that , however clear might be the obligation of a master or mistress to provide food for the due sustenance of a young person , the criminal law afforded no means of enforcing it , save in tbe case of an infant of tender years . Another defect was that any case of refusal'to provide due sustenance , or any assault , however brutal , unless it came within the category of feloniously assaults , was merely treated as a misdemeanour , and the penalty could not go beyond simple imprisonment and fine . A third defecf was that , except in cases of felonious assaults , no means existed of providing for the payment of the costs of prosecution ; By this bill be proposed that where the master or mistress bf a young person under eighteen shall be legally liable
to provide food and necessaries , the obligation might be enforced by penalties under the criminal law , and if by the refusal to make such provision , or by reason of any assault , such young person ' s life should be endangered or health injured , without legal justification , the offender might be subjected to imprisonment with hard labour ; and he proposed to vest in the Court in such cases a discretionary power of giving the costs of prosecution . There was another defect in the existing law , which provided scarcely any means of protecting . young persons hired from workhouses or bound as pauper apprentices : and this bill required that such persons
should be periodically visited by an officer of the union , who should report to the guardians any case of cruel treatment . Lastly , when it became the duty of the parochial officers to prosecute in such cases it was doubtful whether the present law sanctioned the payment of the costs out of the poor-rate , and the bill proposed to authorise application of the funds of the union or parish to the costs properly incurred . Mr . Henley , Colonel Rawpon , and Sir J . DUCKWORTH spoke in condemnation of the bill , which Was read a second time . The house adjourned shortly after four o ' clock .
THURSDAY , March 13 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Sale of Arsenic Bill was read a second time . The object of the bill is to controul the unlimited sale of this poison ,. by requiring the vendor to enter in a book the quantity sold , the object for which it is stated to be required , and the name and address of the purchaser . Lord Brougham called the attention of government to the careless mode in which the income-tax officers performed the duties with which they were charged , a case having come to his knowledge in which a number of returns nnder the act had been left lying about in an inn . The Marquis of Lassdowss said care should be taken that the officers should in future be more cantiouf * . Tbo Designs Act Extension Bill was read a third time and passed . The Passengers Act Amendment Bill went through committee .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —There not being forty members present at four o ' clock , the house adjourned till Friday .
FRIDAY , March H . BOUSE OF LORDS . —During tho brief sitting of the house nothing but routine business was transacted . DOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord John Russell stated , in answer to a question from Mr . Piumptre , that in consequence of the motion given notice of by Mr . H . Bailie , in reference to the Ceylon Councils being considered as a vote of censure , be , should postpone the financial statement w $ | Monday week , in order to allow that motion W 3 W previously disposed of .

Sir R . Peel said , that he regretted to deviate from the present leader of a party -with which it was his feeling to be allied ; yet , as he considered Lord John Russell was actively and independently supporting both his principles of religious toleration , and also of firmness against the aggression of any foreign power , he felt it his duty to support the second reading of the bill . Mr . M'Colloh would give the measure every opposition . Mr . Page Wood defended the bill . On the motion of Mr . Moobe , the debate was adjourned to Monday next . The house adjourned at one o ' clock .

THE KAFFIR WAR . The Bosphorus screw steam-vessel , Capt . J . Vine Hall , arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday evening , having made the passage from the Cape in thirtyeight days , including stoppages . Tbe dates f rom the scene of war are to the 28 th of January . An unsuccessful attack by the Kaffirs on Fort Hare—an equally unsuccessful attempt of the rebel chief Hermannus against Fort Beaufort—and a brush between the Cape Mounted Rifles and the enemy outside King William ' s Town are the items of news brought by the Bosphorns .
The Condemned Criminals.-Confession Of D...
THE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS .-CONFESSION OF DRORT . The hope which bore up Drory through the trial , ( for till the delivery of the verdict he seems to have been confident of escape ) , forsook him on reaching the gaol after his condemnation . He was so exhausted that he was obliged to be assisted to his cell by two of the officers , and on reaching ithe flung himself upon bis bed and lay sobbing violently for nearly an hour . The woman Chesbam , on the contrary , exhibited no difference
in her behaviour , but goes through the usual routine which the discipline of the gaol imposes on her with perfect callousness , and appears altogether devoid of remorse . The judge ' s warrants have been received at the gaol , and the execution of both criminals is fixed for the 25 th inst . Thomas Drory has made a complete and thorough admission of his guilt , and that hisalone was the hand that committed the murder ; adding that be believed throughout that because the deed was shrouded in darkness , and its perpetration concealed from every human eye , it would be impossible for justiceto reach
Mrs . Chesbam , the other culprit , continues to assert her innocence . She asserts it waa the doctor poisoned her husband , and distinctly admits that she has taken off several persons by arsenic but declares she is not guilty of the murder of her husband . There is little difference in her manner from what it was before trial .

Satiobal Reform- Association. ., On Mond...
SATIOBAL REFORM- ASSOCIATION . ., On Monday evening the second monthly soirie for the present year of this association was held at the London . Tavern , Sir J . Walmsley , M . P .,, in , the chair . The body of the hall was crowded to excess , ' and hundreds of persons were refused admission at sin early hour . On the platform were Richard'Hartley Kennedy , Esq ., T . S . Serle , Esq ., Henry I . Slack , Esq ., " Denis M'Donald , Esq ., ; Robert Le Blond , Esq ., I » . Brewster , Esq . ( Connecticut ) , Dr . Ronay ( from Hungary ) , Charles Gil p in , Esq ., W . D . gaull , Esq ., George Sbiliibeer , Esq ., Alfred Walker , Esq ., Edward Miall , Esq ., F . G . Tomlin , Esq ., & c , & c . Mr . Fox addressed the meeting . The hon .
gentleman commenced by expressing his approval of those monthly soirees , as being efficient means in working out the cause of Reform . Having given a brief but comprehensive sketch of the progress of the representative system , he said the obstacles arising to reform from want of loyalty amongst the body ofthe people did not at present exist , for he was old enough to remember . three Sovereigns , and within his memory there never was more loyalty felt and exhibited than at the present time . But much as he coincided in that sentiment of attachment to the Sovereign , he could not avoid assenting to the doctrine that if royal ty did not discharge its d uties and its functions , that it was not entitled to the affections ofthe nation , and that they were bound
to deal with monarchy as an institution , which if they were not satisfied to be content with , they had a right to abolish . Having referred to the part which Lord John Russell had taken respecting the extension ofthe franchise , he said be was not one of those who would refuse to receive an instalment of reform ; but , at the same time , he felt bound to counsel those whom he had the honour to address , as well as the whole body of Reformers , not to he made the dupes of any mean tactics—any vile party play , or any party political purpose . Having adverted to the observation of Mr . Disraeli , as to tho traditions of his party , he said that the Reformers had also their traditions ; and bow glorious were these traditions , embracing , as they did , the chivalry ,
the endurance , and the martyrdom oi the most ardent , patriotic , and enlightened spirits that ever the country possessed , and rendered illustrious by the deathless names of Sir Thomas More , and Milton , and Locke . The Reformers of . the present day were not introducing any innovations in the theory of politics ; they were merely endeavouring to develope more fully , and to reduce to practice the glorious principles which had been propounded by those who had preceded them in the cause of reform . They could not be called destructives , for all they were seeking to accomplish was what had antecedently existed , or what was the natural growth of that existence , and was suited to the circumstances of the present day . There was a period
m their history when they possessed annual parliaments , vote by ballot , and other democratic privileges , which they were now seeking to revive . He denied that the country was free so long as those who were taxed had not a voice in the selection of representatives . The great principle which was now developing itself throughout the country was that of self-government . Towards the attainment of that object there were many encouraging circumstances at the present time . For instance , there were the reduction of taxation , fraternisation amongst churches , and tho assumption of their proper places by talent and intelligence . No onecould doubt that the necessity for reform existed , for what was the fact ?—a fact which showed that
governing bodies m this country were selected from one class—why that Lord John Russell had advised her Majesty to call to her councils Lord Stanley , whose policy , he believed , would be most calamitous to the country . That was a proof that the government of this country was considered as the patrimony of the aristocracy . But the popular right would ultimately triumph over the present system . The Association should persevere in their present intelligent course and they would then accomplish their object . Was it to be endured that they should submit in the present day to the system of corruption and intimidation that was resorted to in order to debauch the constituencies ? He Would warn the community against any party , whether Whig " or Tory , that had recourse to bribery or intimidation , for so long as such existed , they could
not have representatives upon whom they could rely . He was not in favour of the ballot in itself , bnt so long as the present system of intimidation and corruption existed , protection from such influences was necessary for the voter . They should pursue reform in a spirit of independence , remembering that it was an intellectual subject , and that they ought to be able to give a reason for what they said , or for any views they advanced . The object they sought would be a life-work with some of them ; but it was an object worth the devotion of a life to its attainment . By judicious means they would accomplish their end , and if they showed that they were deserving of success , they would hasten to aggrandise that success . The hon . gentleman concluded a most eloquent address , during which he was most enthusiastically applauded .
; T . S . Serle , Esq ., moved the following resolution : — " This meeting desires to express its thanks to W . J . Fox , Esq ., M . P ., for the admirable lecture delivered this evening , and it hopes that the true spirit of reform which he has so eloquently ' described , may before long be found to animate all ranks of the people . " . g J 3 . Gilpin , Esq ., seconded the resolution , which jBftagrced to unanimously . Sgfir . Fox returned thanks . Ilgir J . Waluslet said that he was compelled to Muate the chair , as he was most anxious to attend jnev House of Commons to support Joseph Hume 'aJuMisbandofrefcmers , who were endeavouring Jtotbhtain for the people their just rights . gJr The hon . gentleman then left , and Mr . Serle was jguled to the chair . « j | J . Thwaiies , Esq ., moved the next resolution ,
which was to the effect— " That this meeting is of opinion that the Ministerial crisis has fully showed the folly of attempting to carry on the government of this country by the combination of a few aristocratic families , to the exclusion of men possessing tbe confidence ofthe people , and consider that all who desire honest and cheap government , will effectually promote it by contributing to the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . " R . H . Ktokedy , Esq ., seconded the resolution , which was adopted . J . Slack , Esq ., moved a vote of thanks to the chairman ( Mr . Serle ) . ! Mr . Townsend seconded the motion in a very eloquent and impressive address , in the course , of which he stated that , from a knowledge of the sentiments ofthe working class at the present time , he felt satisfied they were ready to unite with the middle class in obtaining reform . | The resolution was carried , and the vast assem-, blage separated .

Locke King on this spject is as follows : — "A Bill to make the franchise in counties in England and Wales the same as that in boroughs , by giving the right of voting to all occupiers of tenementa . of the annual value of ten pounds .

" * The words printed in italics are proposed to be inserted in committee .
Hints To Advertisers.—Some Of The Most W...
Hints to Advertisers . —Some of the most widely-circulated journals in the empire are the worst possible to advertise in . Their readers are not purchasers , and any money spent upon them is so much thrown away . A journal that circulates amongst tfie / amift' M of the district , and is read attentively by its circle of readers in their own houses , at their own firesides , whilst it also finds access to the news-rooms and libraries of its locality , is a far better medium for advertising than ohe whose circulation ia chiefl y confined to beershops . —jSnejlieM Timts .
The Strike-Of The;Seamen0f London. An Ad...
THE STRIKE-OF THE ; SEAMEN 0 F LONDON . An adjourned meeting ofthe master mariners and seamen ; of the port of London was held on Monday night , at the Temperance Hall , Princessquare , Ratoliffe-bighway ; for the purpose of resuming the discussion of the grievances under which they labour from tho operation of the Mercantile Marine Act . > The hall was , ' if possible , more crowded than on the former occasion , but the most orderly behaviour marked the whole of the ' proceedin es . i At half-past seven the chair was taken by Mr . John Kavanagh , one of the members of the late deputation to the Board of Trade . ' . The Chairman , in opening the business , said that
it was with regret that on Friday night they were unable to give the answer of the Board of Trade to tbo memorial on their . grievanees , which had been promised to be sent in time for their meeting . That answer , however , had now arrived ; and he must say , that the answer of the Board of Trade was in everv respect unsatisfactory , and unless the meeting took the matter into their hands , and got those grievances redressed , he felt assured that they would never . be able to sail with the same pleasure that they had heretofore done , and their fathers before them , —The Board of Trade had said they would withdraw the twenty-two clauses from the ships ' , articles , and that -they might be po sted in the shipping offices , but they gave an answer that
i hey would not be satisfied unless they were withdrawn altogether , for they did not mean to come back with a foolish answer , or be treated as children by any man . At their last meeting , they had come to absolution that they would not go near a ship or , shipping office until they had got their grievances redressed . in a : proper manner . The Board of Trade had promised that they should be so , but they had not done so . When they went before gentlemen , they did not expect to be deceived —but . they had been most grossly deceived ^ and such being so , he considered they were fully justified in thecourse they . had . taken , for tbe conduct of Mr . Labouchere was a downright insult to every seaman in the United Kingdom . ( Hear , hear . ) They
had been deprived of all their rights and privileges by their own government , and . he could not but with regret mention a fact , that when he was ont on Saturday last , endeavouring to raise a few subscriptions in support of their cause , several young men , in answer to his application , said they did not care about the Mercantile Marine Billj as they could fly to America , where they could get good wages arid constant employment ^ and that they would not trouble England any more . As tho Board of Trade , however , had not thought fit satisfactorily to answer their memorial , or to . redress their grievances , the only course they had to pursue was , -to get up petitions to both Houses of Parliament . -Should
they not be listened to—but he firmly believed they would be—they must then petition her most gracious Majesty the Queen . Should all prove of no avail , then their only hope would be to leave their native country , and fly to the land of freedom , where they would not be oppressed . ( Loud cheers , j If this opportunity was let slip , and they did not by orderly ,. peaceable , and quiet means , get their evils redressed , their chains would berivetted for life , and they . would never be able to shake them off . He called upon his friend , Mr . George Riddle , to move the first resolution ^ Mr , Gborqb K ' idmb said , that they had now got the answer of the Board of Trade to their
memorial , and he believed that that body could not have treated them with a greater insult—he repeated it , and he hoped the reporters would take down his precise words—that it was a gross insult to every sailer that sailed ont of any port of Great Britain . They had asked the Board of Trade to place , the shipping offices in the docks , where those who were to use them could goto them , and not to require men to travel from the East India Docks to Towerhill to go to them , for he knew no one who would pay the expense of his wear of shoe-leather , although he supposed there were parties ready to pay the expense of the '• ' footmen " who were constantly in attendance upon him . However , he would now read the answer of the Board of Trade to the memorial that had been presented to them . Mr . Riddle then proceeded to read the following document : —
" In reply to the memorial of master mariners and seamen of the port of London , I am directed by the President of the Board of Trade to state , that he cannot hold out any expectation that he will propose to parliament the repeal of the main provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act , such as the examinations of masters and mates , or the establishment of public shipping-offices , because he is satisfied that their maintenance is conducive to the interests of all classes connected with the merchant shipping . Some of the details of the measure may be found to require improvement ; and if , after some experience , this shall be the case , he will feel it to be his duty to submit to parliament such alterations as may appear expedient . There are , I am to add , some points in the memorial to which Mr . Labouchere will be prepared to give his best attention whenever such a bill shall be introduced .
" As there is one point—namely , the effect of entries in the " official log-book , " where it appears to be misunderstood by the memorialists , I have to point out that they are , in fact , a check upon the master and a protection to the sailor ; for whilst every offence must be entered in the log , arid cannot be punished without such entry , the entry is no proof of it , and if a charge is subsequently made , it must be substantiated by other independent evidence . I am , however , directed to state that Mr . Labouchere considers it reasonable that the entry , when made , should be read to the man who is charged with the offence , and he will be prepared to consider the point whenever further legislation shalltake place .
** with regard to the points adverted to in tho memorial which especially affect the port of London , Mr . Labouchere considers that the regulations as to fines shall be removed from the articles , because he finds , upon inquiry , that they have , in the great majority of cases , been adopted either wholly , or in great part , in the shipment of crews in London , . and because he believes that it is now fully understood by the seamen that it is altogether optional oh their part whether they consent or decline to adopt them . " As for providing an additional shipping-office for the public convenience , as the memorialists appear to desire , I am to state that Mr . Labouchere has communicated with the Local Marine Board of London on the subject , and thaJOftfis noUtfi j Present prepared , without further triai ^^ fflKiexlpgfsystem , to incur the expenses whion ^ ucn * airi ^^ iishment would require . v- «« T .

v «*« w v , VUO VyWIUIIllUUCD VI VUUUWi for Trj | le , March 8 , 1851 . " Jfow this was the answer of the Board of Trade . ^ Hr . Labouchere had said that he would be prepared to give his attention whenever further legislation should take place upon this subject . Who , he would ask , was to take up this legislation ? Was Mr . Labouchere anxious to throw the disgrace of his dirty work upon some one else , or why , if further legislation was required , did he not originate it himself ? He was the President of the Board of Trade , and the whole matter was in his hands . There was not one satisfactory point in the whole answer . He concluded by moving that the seamen of the port of London unite in petitioning both houses of parliament to repeal the Mercantile Marine Act of 1850 . ( Cheers . ) Mr . John Anoerson , of South Shields , seconded the resolution . The resolution was then put , and unanimousl y carried , after which tha meeting separated .
Thb Sailors On Strike , Who Visited Manc...
Thb Sailors on Strike , who visited Manchester , early last week to make subscriptions on behalf of their brethren at Liverpool , are still in that town to the number of 180 or 200 , and go about in companies of three or four , collecting subscriptions from housekeepers , shopkeepers , and others . On Saturday last they presented themselves at the mills at wage time , and the hands coming into possession of money were generally disposed to be liberal in their donations . They have a committee-room at tho People ' s Institute , Heyrood-street , Ancoats where the public are invited to visit them at their meetings , and they have it in contemplation to get up a ball . On Sunday morning they proceeded , a little before eleven o ' clock , in a procession to the Cathedral Church . . As they went through the streets , thousands of people collected about and accompanied them . They were too late for the
opening orservice . The cathedral was crowded with a fashionable audience , whose gay dresses would have contrasted strangely with Jack ' s more homely attire ; but the admission of such a body of men to the sacred edifice at that time was out of the question . The Mayor of Manchester and Mr . Birely , senior churchwarden , left the church to have an interview with them , representing to the leaders the crowded state of the edifice already , upon , which they retired , not much pleased With having to do so . Hjtherto they havo so conducted themselves as to leave little room for inteferenee with them . Their leaders maintain something like discipline , and any misbehaviour , such as drunkenness or swearing , is punished by cropping off nearly the whole of the hair , after which the cul prit is taken to the railway station , his fare paid to Liverpool , and sentence ot banishment carried out without appeal .
Seamen ' s Waoes in thb Nohthebn Ports —It will be recollected that one of the objects of the late strike among the sailors in the northern ports of England was to obtain an advance of wages the demands made by the men being as follows — £ i 10 a . per month from tho 1 st of October till the 1 st of April ; £ 3 V ) a , from the 1 st of April till the 1 st of October ; and £ 3 and small stores in the Baltic and American trades . The owners of vessels ready for sea gave these wages rather than detain their vessels ; but the ship-owners of Sunderland as a body have now determined to lower tbe rates in order to keep up their wages , the seamen of ' that port had formed a permanent association , regulated
Thb Sailors On Strike , Who Visited Manc...
by certain rules ; one of which was , ' that in the event of the owners refusing to give the above rate of wages , the member of the association so refused should be relieved- from the funds of the- association ; another rule is , ' that no member of this association shall sail in any ship belonging to this port , the crew of which also belong to the port . unless tbe crew are all members of this association ; and that if a strike takes place for wages in any port in the north , and the owners of such port apply to this port for seamen , each member pledges himself that lie will not go to man the ships of such owners to the injury of . the crew of the port . " An important meeting of the Shipowners' Society of the port was held on the 7 th inst ., when a committee which had been appointed to consider the question of wages reported that , in their opinion , " the wages required by tbe seamen are far beyond what the
present freights will enable the shipowners to pay ; that the effect ofthe combination will be to restrict trade , and thus operate to the injury both of employers and . employed , and that some effort ought to be made to effect an arrangement for a fair and reasonable rate of wages such as the shipowners may be able to . pay and the seamen ought to be content to receive , . That your committee recommend the following scale , viz .: £ i per voyage in winter , extending from the 1 st of November to the last day of February , and ; £ 3 per voyage from the 1 st of March to the 31 st of October for the London trade . The west country rates to be 7 s . 6 d . per voyage below the London rates . The American , Baltic , and Archangel rates , £ 215 s . per month , and small stores . That the voyage to Hamburgh be equal to a London voyage , and 10 s . additional . " The recommendations of the committee were
unanimously adopted b y . the meeting , and a deputation of the shipowners was appointed to . confer with the seamen with reference to the matter . This deputation met with a deputation from the seamen in the afternoon , and the resolutions of the shipowners having been laid before them , they undertook to submit them , to a meeting of tbe seamen for consideration .

Clerkenwell.—Disiunnino A Congregation.—...
CLERKENWELL . —DisiunniNo A Congregation . —A portly looking man attired ' in a suit of mourning , who gave his address as William Frederick , gentleman , of No . 29 , Union-street , Clarendonsquare , Somers-town , was charged with disorderly conduct , and disturbing tho congregation of St . Paul ' s Church , Camden-sqiiare , St . Pancras . —Mr . Jennings , verger of the church , said that on Sunday morning the prisoner entered the church and took a seat in one ofthe aisles . The service had begun , when the prisoner behaved in a most extraordinary mannerj first standing up , then walking about , arid resuming his seat , and joining tho responses in an extravagantly loud voice . He then marched round , oeleing the ladies through an eye-glass . ; The
prisoner continued this course of proceeding whilst the clergyman was professing the Belief , and the annoyance became so great that witness and several gentlemen remonstrated with the prisoner , but this only had the effect of increasing his violence , when he put himself into the most ludicrous gestures ' , still ogled tbe ladies , and in one part of the church there were sixty young ladies belonging to a board-JDg-SChool , who could not be kept from laughing at his peculiar antics . Witness at length was directed to eject the prisoner and to give him into custody . — Mr . Tyrwhitt asked whether the prisoner was sober at the time ? Witness ' I think he was sober , but ho smelt very strong of tobacco . —Prisoner ( excitedly ) : You revile me . "Oh , Father forgive them ,
they know not what they do . "—An Inspector of Police said the prisoner was a gentleman of independent property and highly connected . A gold watch asd £ 5 in gold , some silver , and a prayerbook were found in his possession . —Prisoner : I have a stentorian voice , and I happened to sing and speak too loudly , when he ( the verger ) came up and seized me round the bod y to put me out ; that was an assault , your worship . I live at 29 , Unionstreet , Clarendon-square , with a widow lady . My brother is Lieutenant-Colonel Augustus Frederick , of India . He added that Colonel Yandeleur and the Rev . Dr . Gross knew him , and he begged ofthe
Worthy magistrate to send and make inquiries about him , and place him at liberty , as he had been locked up in the station-house since he was taken into custody . He would pledge his honour as a gentleman never to go to St . Paul ' s Church again if he was liberated , and he would make his appearance at this court at any future period . —Mr . Tyrwhitt said it was not to be tolerated that congregations should be disturbed in such a way , and he must communicate with his friends and produce somo seeurity . for . his good behaviour , He ordered that the prisoner should bo detained , and in the course ofthe day he was bailed and liberated , when he left the court with his friends .
LAMBETH . —A Young ScoutiDBBL .-Richard F . Loder , a youth of fifteen years of age , was charged with assaulting and threatening his father ' s life . — From the evidence of his father , who resides in Penton-place , and is a collector of rents , it appeared that for the last two months the prisoner had conducted himself in so outrageous a manner , that he went in personal dread of him , and left and re-entered his house in perfect terror . The prisoner , after breaking the panels of two of the doors , brandished a knife upon being remonstrated with , and threatened to use it upon him . —The younger brother of the prisoner corroborated his father ' s account , and a police constable , who was called in to remove tbe prisoner , said that , in his
presence , he admitted striking his father , and also making use of the most violent threats towards him . —The prisoner , who treated the matter with the greatest levity , was ordered to find bail for his good behaviour for two months . MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-A Drunken Assault . —John Godfrey , William York , and George Addison , were charged with having been drunk and assaulted tho police while in the execution of their duty . —Policeman 38 D said he was on duty on Saturday night in Oxfordstreet , when his attention was called to the prisoners , who were the worse for liquor , and fighting in the road . Witness desired them , to go home quietly , and on their refusal he called assistance and conveyed them to the station . On arriving at the latter place the prisoner York made a bolt and
made off . Witness followed him , and recaptured him in Davies-street . The prisoner resisted very much , and bit his hand nearly through . The other prisoners were also very violent , and titeubk liim and his brother constable several time ^ pMr Bingham committed York for ten ^ dan ^ pd fined fheotber . two 10 s . each , and in deffuYtrtonBe committed to the House of Correction . THAMES . —Biting on ? A Man ' s Lip . —Jeremiah O'Leary , was charged with biting off a mail ' s lip . William Sullivan , an old Irishman , said he lived near Soloman ' s lane , Limehouse , and the prisoner was his coutryman . He was with him near Limehouse-causeway , on Monday afternoon , and they quarrelled . The prisoner wanted to fi ght , which he
reiused to do because he was too old . The prisoner followed him , and threw him down several times , and bit his under lip off . The poor fellow who spoke very imperfectly , was in a weakly con dition from loss of blood , and the frightful injury be received , and his face , head , and lips , were bandaged . —George Kennard , an Englishman , gave a better account of the transaction . The old man , was peaceabl y disposed , and the prisoner , who was as big again , and thrice his strength of the other , taunted him , and wanted him to fight , and on his refusal to stand up before such a powerful adversary he was struck and slapped about the head . Sullivan ran out of the bouse , and the prisoner folhim into the street , and knocked him down .
Sullivan got up bleeding , and said let me go , on whioh the prisoner threw him down and repeated this several times , and fell upon the old man . Sullivan got up again , and tho prisoner bit his lip off!—Mr . Yardley : Was he up or down ? Kennard s Tj p , sir . O'Leary hugged him , seized his lip with his teeth , shook him like a dog , and bit his lip off . Sullivan shrieked out" Murder , " and said , " He has bit my lip off . " The prisoner said , " If he did not like that he would bite his nose off , " and was advancing towards the old man again , evidently with the intention of doing further mischief , when the old man was pulled away and taken to a . surgeon . —Mr . Yardley : Did ho bleed much ? The witness * be did , indeed , sir ; he bled a good deal . —Mr .
Yardleyand what became of the lip ? Kennard : it fell from theprisoner ' smouth into the gutter . It Was lost , sir . The prisoner ' s mouth was bloody A police constable was called to the scene of the outrage , arid arrested the prisoner . Sullivan had then lost his under lip . It had been torn from his mouth , and the teeth were exposed Mr . Yardley ordered that the case should be adjourned for the attendance of a surgeon . On the re-hearing of tho case Mr . Ronald Robertson mm ., of Poplar said he was called S & attenoV the wounded man ,, and found the creater part of his under lip bitten off . It was a laSed ITh , t M ° v ^ , in len « th ' and half «• ^ oh in depth .-Mr . Yardley : It must have been a verv strong bite to have taken the lip clean off . Mr . Robertson . Mr . Robertson i A very strone bite indeed Sir . It exposed the teethf sewedL £
, wound , and applied bandages . —Mr . Yardley : Really 1 must commit tho prisoner for trial . It is not a felonious wounding within the meaning ofthe statute . It has been so decided ; but I ought not and cannot dispose of a case like this summarily . Ihe act is more like that of a savage wild beast , than a human being . It is shocking . The worthy magistrate then directed the policeman who had charge ofthe case to mention to the inspector that he ( Mr , Yardley ) thought some assistance ought to be given to the prosecutor ; the poor man had met with a frightful injury , which would disfi gure him for life , and , and no costs would be allowed him . He did hope some assistance would be rendered , and that Justice would not be defeated * O'Leary was wiirautted to ih & sessions .

ST . JAMES'S THEATRE . Mr . Love , the celebrated Pol yphonistJ commenced his series ot Lenten Entertainments at this theitr « last week . This gentleman is a great adept in ' tho art of ventriloquism—none- who havo preceded him having sbown . superior facility , while at the present moment he has no rival , either in tbe development of the natural gift , or in the dexterities necessary for its . effective application . His transformations are not only rapid , but complete . He assumes cha * ractor as well as costume , and his differeat perfor , mances are as unliko as possible—voice , size , figure features—all are changed , and each individual ho represents stands out sharp and distinct . His 1-apU dity in changing his costume , and assuming a totally new identity , is well calculated to awaken as « tonishment . The theatre was crowded , and Mr . Love was . greeted with immense plaudits through . ! out the whole of his very clever entertainment °

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE . Miss Glynn took her benefit on Tuesday ni » bf and the crowded audience was perfectl y commoiisul rate with , the popularity she has obtained . Comini " to Sadler ' s Wells Theatre without previous renown * she has , by dint of her own intellect and by unwea ! ried perseverance , earned for herself a reputation that spreads far beyond the precincts of theatrical Islington . With a great deal of native force and feeling , and with a countenance eminentl y tragic she has been trained in what may be called tha ideal school of acting , and is the sole representative
of that style which is generally associated with the Kemblefamily . Her . Cleopatra , her Queen Katb . e « rine , and her Duchess of Malfi are among the most remarkable personations of the modern s " ta <» o . Tha last of these characters was selected for her benefit and with reason , for it is by her judicious handlin * that John Webster ' s sanguinary old play is rendereS tolerable . That her versatility mi ght be displayed the abridged comedy of Katkerine and Petruchio fol lowed the dismal tale of Malfi , and she played the shrew with terrible vivacity .
Astley's Theatre. The Chief Attraction A...
ASTLEY ' S THEATRE . The chief attraction at this far-famed establish * ment is Filzball ' s historical drama of Joan of An , or , the Maid of Orleans . The plot and incidents are too well known to render description necessary , and the piece is produced on a scale of costly splendour for which this theatre stands unrivalled . Prince Charles was well personated by Mr . N . T . Hicks , and Mrs . Moreton Brooks ably sustained the part of the heroine . The celebrated ' * Momus " Barry , and Mrs . Beacham , kept the audience in a roar . The Bomische Polka , by . Mr . and Mrs . Harvey , was rapturously encored , and Mdlle . Gaddoni , who ia certainly a most accomplished artiste on the tieht
rope , was deservedly called before the audience . Tho scenes in the circle were of a very attractive character , and the performers , both biped and quadruped , gave unbounded satisfaction . We must not omit to mention the clever and daring acts of horsemanship by Mr . A . Bridges and Mr . C . Adams , Tho entertainments concluded with the laughabla farce oi Jonathan , or the Man with Two Masters . We perceive that the Polish and Hungarian Refugees will take a benefit at this theatre on Mondav night , the 17 th inst ., when we trust the house will be filled to overflowing , which it will be , if all in tha metropolis who have expressed sympathy for tha noble exiles are present on that occasion .

Corn. Mark Lakh, March 10.—The Quantity ...
CORN . Mark Lakh , March 10 . —The quantity of wheat offering from the neighbouring counties was very small to-day , and it was taken by the millers at fully last Monflav's prices ; With foreign wheat we were pretty well supplied , thcra was , however , altogether more disposition to buy at late quotations . Floating cargoes of foreign wheat were held at higher prices . Flour in better demand , but without leading to much business . Barlty sold more readily , though without improvement in price . Good oats met With increased inquiry , and in some instances a slight advance was obtained .

meeting on the Exchange . 'Ihe slight extent to whicli the American advances have effected the Liverpool cotton market ( to the extent of Jd per ft . only ) , encourages spinners and manufacturers to hold out more firmly against a reduction ihsn might be expected , whilst buyers are eviaently . unwilling to trust the market , until there i * a nearer approximation to natural pric « s .
