The Home then Trent into Comnfttee of Supply , csaiii Boeing With the Estimates for the British Mnfcmi . . B 2 JaUes Qkaham tiwn moved for , and obtained , leave to bring in a new Bill for the better regulatf * n 0 ! fcc ' -ories . It was read a firat , and ordered to te read a second time , on the 22 nd of April . The other orders of the day -were tben disposed ol and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One . Mokdat , April 1 . Lord Elioi moved foi leave to bring In the IrUh B ^ istiaiion and Franchise Bill . Ta&l , as to registration , the system established in England , under ?;« recent English Registration Act , i 8 to be adopf- ^ d » Or Ireland , with certain modifications ol deta' j , arising
from the differences in the machinery by Which the registration is to be worked in the l ^ tUJr country . Power is to be reserved to the Lord-tieutenant to erect conven ' e . nt polling places ; in place of the overseers and the church-wardens , who , in English caurties and boroughs prepare the list * , the baronial constables and the clerks of the pence are to be substituted ; the polling , as in England , is to be limited to one day in boroughs , and two in counties ; tha assistant barristers in Ireland -will do the duty of revising barristers In England ; and in appeals to the Exchequer Chamber , seven judges -will form a quorum . On the mere important point of the franchise , be entered into greater detail . In 1829 the forty shilling freeholder system gave 216 . 000 voters , of which seven counties alone
furniihed 102 , 000 of them—ihear , hear , hear ) . Toe Emancipation Act reduced the Irish county leasehold constituency to 52 , 000 ; the Belorm Act raised it , but on the -whole did not add more than 11 . 000 to the number . The perplexing decisions on the vtxtd question of what constituted a beneficial leasehold interest had long embarrassed the subject of Irish registration ; and it was now time that Parliament shonld interfere and give a def niticn of the franchise . The Government proposed that the qualification for a county voter should be ono of three distinct qualification * , the first of which is to be a holding of the clear yearly vaiue of £ 10 over and above all rent and charges . There were 4 i > 0 C 0 « f sach occupiers in Ireland , who are to be subjected to the solvent tenant oath . Then asto ttDants at
will ; thej intended to take the r&ting to tfee Poor la-w as a test , and all occupiers rated at £ 30 annually aTe to be entitled to the franchise . XXiere were 76 . occupiers so rated at £ 30 . The stricter definition of the freehold fr&nchue would reduce that portion of the constituency by about 25 . 000 ; and , making allowance for widows , minors , & ~ . in the class of the £ 30 rated occnpifcrs , there would be an addition in ihia class of about 55 . 000 . Deducting the reduction of 25 . 000 from the addition of 55 000 , it -would appear tfaa * the bill "will add about 30 . to , the existing county constituency . But in order t j lake up a ciass in Ireland analogous to the class of English yeomanry , the Bill intends to cwnfer the eonnty franchise on all who are possessed of a freehold of
infceut&oeaol the dear yearly value of £ 0 , or of a lease for lives , renewable for ever , -which is considered almost equivalent to a freehold of inheritance . It was heped that this -would have the effect of adding to tha Irish county constitntDcies small capitalists of independent characters and industrious habits . Turning to thb qualiflcationfor boroughs , hetxplained the dissimilarity baween the position of the English and the Irish borough elector * . Toters in English boroughs have only a few distinct and defined taxes to pay ; those in Ireland are perpltxed by a multiplicity of rates . The Biil is to simplify this state of things , by malriDg It tuflScient that the borough voter sbonld bb required to pay the poor rate , borough rate , and such aa axe made for police , lighting , paving , * c-
. Mr . Bcme asked what -would be the number of the borough constituency ? Lord Eliot replied , that at present it -was impossible to tell ; it was all a matter of guess . The oljsct of the Government - » as , aB far as possible , to create , if net an actual assimilation , at least a substantial equality in rights and privileges between the people of England anl Ireland . The question having been put , that leave be given to bring in the Registration and Franchise Bill , Loid Eliot again rc = e , and asked for leave to briDg in the Irish Municipal Amendment Bill ; the object of -which is to amend that part of the Municipal Act ¦ which relates to the qualification of burgtsses . Tbe Government , animated bv the same principle -which actuated them in the Parliamentary Register Bill , -wished , bo far as they could , to assimilate the municipal franchises of England and Ireland , and to confer the right of voting for corporate officers in Ireland on all -who paid rates and taxes .
3 Ir . JlOBE O'Fzhiull remarked that in the Registration Bill tfeu Govc : nmtnt had gone as far is their party will p * raiit tht-iu . He criticised some of the details giveo by LouJ Elioi , and expressed hi » fears that the £ 30 rating clause -would throw the county COE * titU £ ncy into the hands af the landlords . After seme remarks from Mr . Sbat * . Lord John Rtssell observed tkat the Cbandos clause in the Engiuh Reform Act bad mainly thrown the counties into thb hands of the landlords , and he feartd that the £ 30 raUst ; clause would have a more objectionable result in Ireland . He , however , reserved a general trpression of bis opinion . Mr . Bellew addressed a few words to the House ; and
Lord Ho-wick , while expressing a general approbation of the bill , remarked tbal the practice of granting leases was , unhappily , going out in Ireland ; but the Government would confer a great benefit , and facilitate the creation of an independent constituency , by rendering the conveyance of small paicels of land in fee simple more easy . Sir Robert Peel entreated the House to take time for consideration , and rot prejudge the subject by precipitate declarations . He re-adduced some of the statements made bv LoTd Elioi , as to the nature of the Registration and Franchise Bill , and contended that the Government were giving evidence of their intention to act with fairness towards the people of Ireland . Mr . French acd Mr . HrME followed , the latter expressing himself pleased with the Bill , as a move in the right direction , bnt felt convinced that it -was inadequate to satisfy the Irish people .
Mr . JJOStacce Gop . e was delighted by the Introduction of the Bill , the principle of which he considered to be justice to Ireland , and another means for linking it to England . Mr . aloRGAJ * Jobs O'Cossell remarked that the addition of 30 , 000 to the county constituency of Ireland , -wbici the Bill proposed to create , was only equivalent to that of » siBgle English county , as the " West Riding of Yorkshire . Protesting against many of the provisions of the Bill , he yet -would not oppose its introduction . Mr . Wvse , Sir Robert Peel , and Lord Eliot added some observations , by way of question and answer , en scBra pjinta of detail Leave -was then , given to bring in both Bills , the IrUh Registration and Franchise Bill , and the Municipal Amendment Bill .
Ltrd JoU 2 t Rcssell put some questions to Sir Robert Peel relative to a Bill before the other House for the appointment of a Judge to preside over the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council . Sir Robekt Peel paid the Bill wonld be brought before the House in the
TtJESDAT , April 2 . Lord J . Russell took occasion to advert to the policy of Governmtnt , internal and external , -whether in the management of their legislative business , or the disposal of the naval force , with a view to the protection of our interests abroad . Tha House had manifested its loyalty to the Crown , by freely voting the necessary supplies ; but there was & rumour tbat but one ship of the line was to be left with ova fleet in the Mediterranean ; and though nothing might arise , still -with an insurrectionary nuclens forming in Italy , and the probability of Spanish interference in Morocco , he disapproved of this departure from our usual policy .
Sir Robert Peel , in reply , said that the disposal of our raval force was a Bubject -which peculiarly belonged to the Executive under its responsibility , and acting on its own Tiew of what -wa » expedient tor the interests o ! the country ; and though , no doubt , Lord John Russell , in that confidence in his own judgment which frequently was so just , might feel himself competent to " take command of the Channel fleet /* he must beg of him to leare the matter in the hands of the Government . Sir Robert Peel brought up the Supplementary Chinese Treaty , aco said , as this was probably the lastact of the oiplomatic We of Sir Henry Pottinger , he could not srcffei the opportunity to paw witbont expressing his sense of the public service of that distinguished man . Lord Palmerston concurred in the ealogium thus passed on Sir Henry PottiDger .
She business -was chiefly of a routine nature ; and various motions on the paper , -which were to have ceme on for ducussion , were postponed till after the Eastex rec&sa . It WM agreed tbat the House , on its rising , should adjourn till the 15 th of ApriL Mr . -Gladstoke , in a brief statement , moved that the Hoass should go into & committee of the -whole House ; asd this being done , he moved resolutions , an -which several bills are to be founded , for the purpose . of gffecting its following objects : — " For the lustration of Joist Stock Companlef , and for conferring « & sach . companies certain privilege * of corporate bodies , subject to the payment of certain test , and on cerfojn conditions and regulations , and for preventing" its fistailifihment of fraudulent

Death of Howqda—This great Hong merchant died at Canton , on the 4 'h Siptember aged seventyfiw . Ho-wqua « yas once a poor lad of humble origin , and obtained his living by vending Oranges in the streets of CatttOJ * .. ! by his industry , skill , and attainmints he amassed immense wealth , became , Junior Woag Merchant ^ was made a Mandarin , ^ nd died t v ae richest man in China . Whilst thoeQ and other circumstances eecure Howqua a oage in the futaro history of Chinai his name , in connection with C&ptaiu Piddiug's- ^ thfl oaa as the compoander , the other as the importer of a famous mixture of Tt'a ? , well known as " Captain Pidding ' s Howqua Mixture "—will be remembered in Europo while one remains capable of appreciating this delicious beverage .
Howqua was by naturo gifted with a noble mind , and early showed himself imbued with a strong sense of justice aud commercial liberality . Davis , tho Hon . Company's suporoargo , after speakiug o his Kburality and vrealth , in his evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons , states that , ' If any Tea bought : Of Howqia turned out in Eng and inferior to eatnp ' e , he compeusatrd tho buyer by giving him two chests for every one inferior .

under his name—by parties too , as he would say , who , though as ' profoundly ignorant of China as of him , having never crossed the greatocenn , nor breathed the pure air of the celestial empire , or felt its transforming influence , knowin ? only in th ~ practice of deceit , and big to bm-oting with roady . lijsyet aud&cious ' y professed to bav" had dealings with him . Howqua , coild never undevstand how , in a country where , if a man forged anorh ^ rs's name on a scrap of pap < r ; for only fifty dollars , he waa- con oVmned to bo hung , it was yet permitted him to affix another ' s emincnl ; name "n goods ro anv extent and of any quality , however fictitious , to got a sale far them , and yet to so unpunished . Pease be to your mane ? , ! Howq'ta ; y > u were a good and a great nmz . It is we ! 1 for the f air consumor $ at homo—and fcirvst of thn fair . Victoria—that the
secret of compounding the mixture did "ot die with him . Howqua ,. hima-Mf highly talented snd cn'erprising , arimu'ed thesa qualities in others , and forming an parly friendRhin for Capf-ftin Bidding , then a young but asDirihg officer of a Company '^ phi ? , « -ho had succeeded in rendering him pome essential-personal service , imparted to him the secre . t of coinpounding his mixture . th < H ceU ' . brity oi' which-, uudt-r the title of Taptsnn Pidding's Howquag Misturt ' has since made both naaes so famous .

Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday , Mahch 30 —We had a small supply of "Wheat at this day ' s market from tho growers , but a fair show of samples coastwise , and our millera would only purchase for their immediate wants , which caused a very dull trade at a decline of Is to 2 s per qr . oa the

3 ar . TH 0 HAS Dbxcombb participated in the regret expressed by 2 dx . Cocbisce . Sir James GTaham had atated tbat there were thre « conreea " open to them , ccnsEqssnt on their defeat : bat he forgot that iiero -was & fonrUi , namfcly—instead of withdrawing fee Bil 3 , to TFiifrdraw ibemselrba , xehich "wonld give ^ reat jsatifcfacaon to ihe country . ,- The Home Secretary -was like ihe Captain of a West Indiaman , which Vaa freighted with cheeses and grindBtoDfea ; thongb the cbeetes were is much request , he refused to sell them -withc-Dt lie griudstouea . There rat Sir James Graham , who refused to give tiem a Pactoriw Bill Without the twelve hours- ; We are told by certain political economists , on our side , that our attempt to xegolaie ihe bows ol lab&cr is absurd , aod tbat the
grand panacea lor all our evils is the repeal of the Cora I » ysra . Now , I believe , if the Goru Lsws were repealed to-morrow , the doe limitation t > f the hours of labour would be more than ever Eeeessary—( loud cries of hear , hear ") . I have seen with nmeb regret the course taken by tte gentlemen of tbe Anti-Cora Law Xsague on this subject . I am sorry they have not shown tb& > thej , its master manufacturers , are prepared to make sacrifists for the beaiSt of ihe people . H they bad done so , I think they woi \ ld have been ia a better position to appeal to the landed interest , and call on them to maie s sacrifice too by tha repeal of the Com Laws . It is quite clear that tbe 'working
classes cannot , by possibility , submit to further sacjificea ; and that these must be made by those who we better able to bear them —( hear , and cheers } , lir . Xtencoinbe condnded by moving , that after the Verds •? the order of the day , & . C ., be discharged , to insert these words—•• Trith a view of not only carrying Into effect tny future measure the recorded decision of this House , that the labour performed by young persons snd females should be less than twelve hours-a-day , bat also with the view of maintaining that good faith and confidence in the integrity of our votes , which are indkpeusiile to our character and existence as & representative £ nd delitsrative assembly . " -
iord j&shlet explained that he bad been advised fcy members on both sides of tbe House , and his own judgment concurred in it , to adopt his present course t % the best for the question . The Bill , as it cow stood , ¦ was reduced to & mia o ! sronfrmon by the dofftrtnt divisions ; snd if he had taken & debate at the present afege it would hare been 021 mete technicalities intlead of some intfclligifcli issue . He would have been defeated , and the defeat would have been misinterpreted throughout tbe country . It had been imputed to him that he had been actuated by interested motives ; he denied it , and declared tbat be -would maintain the QnestioE withent reference to the feelings or the fate of any Gtrremment whatsoever . Thanking b » tb sides of the House for the con tinned and umaerited kindness ¦ with which he had been always treated , be once more called on the supporters of tbe principle of the ten bonrs to stand by H * ti in his future advocacy of it .
An Exchange of explanations took place between Mr-Cochrsn © aad Lord Ashley . lord Howick considered tbat the Government ¦ were pursuing as extraordinary coarse by bringing in a new £ 01 , similar in all its main provisions to the old one , and thus bringing back the House to the point from "whence it had started befcra tbe divisions on the question of the ten boun . The more natural and usual coarse would have been tie recommittal of the present 2 JuL Compromifie bad been repudiated j yet the adoption ol the " eleven 1 ' hours might have been a conve nient middle term , and would have enabled them te make the experimfcnt to what extent tbe redaction of the hours of labour wonld haTe betn accompanied by a fall in wages . Bnt at tbe presrat stage of the proceedings , he thought it bet > tr not to effer any opposition 10 Bib -withdrawal ol the Bill , and the introduction of the finr one .
Sir H . Isglis and ill . Acla > d shortly addressed the House . lord Joh ^ Rrsszi . 1 felt that the course adopted by the GoTercment was a Mow to the authority of tbe House . Four divisions bad been taken , three-of which lrere Against the " twelve" hours , &cd -but one against the ten feonrs . Yet they were called on to assent to tbe introduction of a new Bill , containing tbe provision against which the House had repeatedly decided . Bat at the came time , he thought lord Ashley right
in the course he had adopted , as he would otherwise 2 » tb prejudiced his cause by resisting the witKdrawal of the BiUL Nevertheless , so member of the House could shake eff his responsibility by Ehrmting from the maintenance-of his opinions and retts , because it might posably sifect the security of tho Government Tbe House ought to maintain Bomething of ita legislative authority , and net to resign large questions into the hands of an Executive Government , *» ho were xespon-* ible fcr their candnct to their Sovereign and their country .
Sir B . Peel defended the conduct of the = GovernxnenL Mr . Cbabies "Wood approved of tbe condoot of tbe Government , cna expressed hia strong conviction of the injury which would arise to the labourer himself , from Ihe adoptien of the ten hoars . He also declared that tbe operatives did not wish for the BilL lord Palxessxos , feeling the importance of the House upholding its own decisions , woold support the . amendment , if pressed to a division , simp > y in order to indicate to the country the feelings of msn-* era . iSx .

Mr . Iieu > es ipoke a few -words , and then the amendment we * ueg&trsed "without & division . The ¦ order of the d * y for proceeding vith the -Factories Bill ¦ iras then discharged .
