BARREL ORGANS AND ADVERTISING VANS. Col. SIBTRORP wished to know from the right hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey), when he would lay on the table the copy of instructions which had been given t o th e p o li ce with regard to the discontinuance of those great nuisances barrel organs and advertising vans. Sir G. GREY said that a copy of the order would be presented to the house immediately. PAPAL AGGRESSION. Lord I. RUSSELL mid that he had stated that he would declare when the house met this day, what court the government proposed to take with mired to POWs amendments in the Ecclesiastical Titles Ili 1, which had been moved by different members, but more especially with Tisza's' to tie amisiolnia nts peopool by the honourable and ISArnol mercies r for Mi,U.ur.t (Mr. Malpule). With regard to the tint clause propumd by the hon. and learned gentle- Man, it was an amendment to which, in principle, the rvemnittit had no objection, hut they thought it was more efficiently carried into a lfet by the word. in the preamble of the hill. With rsgant to the other clauses proposed by the bon. and learned member, they found, after full coma .h.ration vt the matter, that they could not agree to those IMO WWI. ut%.

(near, hear.) I'ItOVERTY TAX BILL. (In t h e motion for the rosemial reading of this bill being put, Mr. sroONElt said tint he wished to state thy reasons why he could not moo rat to the second reading of this bill. In the year 1812 the house, uu the motion of Sir It. feel, toe mated to the imposition of an income tax fur three years to 'apply a altsficieney and to enable the government to re , duos indirect laves whirls were said to press heavily on the allergies of the country ; but it was distinctly stated and meta rstanal that this tat 1411.1 104 to continue beyond the period staid. Sir It. Peal hinted indeed that the 111011111 e tae might be requiira al for two or three yearn longer; but he said that was a twitter which was to be left to the discretion of the house. In ISIT the revenue had nut coins round to such a state as to justify the withdrawal of the income tax, rand its continuance for three years was again assented to, but likewise on the um!. r standing that the lax ss as not to be ptrnianent. Ire 1!11`1 tar Inutile in I rs.laital and the commercial distrms in Eug tand—a distress Mr.. ' •I, in his opinion, by an emotions policy—induced the house to content to the continuance of the income tax for another throe year; but again it was univerwilly declared that the tax was not to be a ptrmanent ma. Now they were railed upon again to consent to the imposition of this tax. But he wished to observe that at the present m o ment there were none of those causes in ope ration which influent the house to mount to the tax on former aascasiume. There was a surplus revenue. The country, they were told, was in a state of prosperity, and if, molar such cin•umstauers, thus house consented to this lax, they would be iirtually voting it as a permanent tax. (11cor.) Did the right loot. gentleman now mean to impose the tax us Ireland ("Hear. h. ar," and laughter.) If it was to continue it must fall upon the whole empire. (Hear, bear.) Ile warned hon. members that this country would not long submit to such a ; for, although there was tf mat poverty and destitution in Irtland, he had no hesitation an saying that in many districts of England the distress threatened tobeespially great, autl in Suffolk especially there w ens hued reds auf :won uut uf cultivation through the pressure of the ',our rate. Many persons paid the income tax who ought not to ray it. It was impossible that two *Ss of far mer., one Lannon good land, and paying high rents, the other farming had land, and paying low rents, could long continue to pay equally. If there were a greater profit in the one caw than in the other, capital would be abstracted and tranifernsal. In 11433, the late Sir Robert feed, fn speaking of the budget of Lord .11thorp, said that it eauld hinny emus notated that if a property tan were tato- Wished Inland sionild be exempted ; to impose such a tax on England and Si ualefol, anal to exempt IMland, would, in his opinion, he highly unjust. In ISIS, Lord Stanley oh screed, that if the *lowa of Commons were determined, on the Mat AptlCAr.lll.• of a surplus to reduce taxes, it would be idle mid useless to say that the income tux ways temporary tax. Ile wished now to say a few words on the subject of corn mutation. Ile thought it lied been badly arranged with reapers to the window tax. Thcy had released a great deal of property whir'[ should be liable, and given relief where it was not wanted. They heal especially neglected the formem, whom they had themselves acknowledged to flu in great distrees. If the hill should obtain a second mauling he hoped for the support of the noble lord at the head of the guava rainwnt procuri n g the exemption of sums paid for life assurance. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer haul pleated for the renewal of the income tax, that it cashier! him, among other things, to take the duty utf tirribtr. Now he (Mr. Spooner) had received a letter from a timber dealer in Yorkshire, informing him that there would lie no modifications in contracts in consequence of the alteration in the duties, that in consequence of the de mand there would he no alteration in prices. What haul the reduetiam in the brick duty produced ? Ile believed that the price of bricks was now within a shilling of its former prim. He Looked upon the whole of the present system of income tax as ruinous and inapplicable to the raising of large sums; anal themfores he begged to move as an ainenalismot that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. Eli ELD seconded the amendment. Mr. MI: N . rz said he supiwrted the amendment because he was more aide than most men tat show the unjust work ing of the tax. Ile lived among smell manufacturers, who were constantly complai ll it ig of the injustice with which they were treated. When they made a return, being unable w show their books, they were surcharged, and this WAS. in some caws, two or Mr.; times repeated. All taxes were disagreeable, but none had the• enormity of this. Ile would rather bait a bona fide property tax of double the amount than this inquisitorial income tax. Ills objections to the tax were —first, that it WAS inquisitorial ; mud second, that tine re WAS no likelihood of its termination. prim quit was to lit established that the moment there was ' a trick of surplus it was to he frittered away on bricks ur windows (although be differed from the hon. member as to „ the price of the former, which he knew to have come down S .64. the thousand), there would be no hope of the altos is tion of the , intim.. tax. Ili, opinion was that they should serer get rid of it. Mr. Fit ELD wish td to make one or two observa tidos, lest the vote he was shout to give should be open to ' snioconceptioo. The question was whether many of the objections to the tax could not be removed in committee. Ile believed they could ; and therefore• should not oppose she ',wood muting, at the *AMC time offering no opinion on the principle. has opinion the income tax fur the shortest possible tame, to enable the guyernment to eonsialer whether any and what aubstlttate could be Sound for the tax. The CIIANCELLOIt of the EXCHEQUER said that the mover of the am, nelment and his thief supporter were quite at, issue in their grounds of opposition. The hon. member for North Warwiekshire complained of the pres sure on the huselowntra in schedule A, while his seconder wished to doubly the rate upon property ; and while one asserted that bricks were nearly the same prism, the other admitted a fall of Se. tel. the 1,0011. The member for Bir mingham blamed them for removing the window tax, hut he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) remembered thet last row that hem. member voted for its total repeal. lie did not think it would require many words to prove the impos sibility of areedim: to this hon. member's amendment. Ihe house had acceded to the repeal of the window tax and the alteration of the coffee and timber duties, and therefore they must maintain the income tax. If they agreed to the amendment of the hon. member for North Warwick- shire, they meet not only retain the coffee end lienber Z e iss as they stood before 'keret/go, buy they must dai wilbewl the alteration in the window debts. tat c a ly arts but they must consent tothe impositiost of additional duties to make up the deficiency that. small be coaled. 1110 (the Chancellor of the Exchepaso) had stated befcite *at if the income tax were not renewed there would be i islicieney of upwards of a minim, and neat year of three maims and a half. Therefore, after the decisions the beam bad come to, they had no course left hnt to reject SOP itansdnient. As to the alterations mentioned they were immerty cumttions for committee, and at that stage he ansild be prepared to give them all careful and temperate enemideration. Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know whether the right boa, gentleman intended really to go into committee on Friday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intended to go into committee, but there wan an amendment upon the Speake g. r's leaving the chair which might occupy t he entire even r in M. MACOREGOR considered the tax in many respects unjust, hut as he was not prepared to vote against the bill altogether he thought the consideration of any suggestions for amending it had better be made in committee. If they refused the tax the house would have to reimpose taxes upon the food of the people, which he was not prepared to do, and though he considered that it ought to be modified in some respects, he could not consent to vote against the second reading. Mr. DISRAELI suggested that all the objections which had been urged were matters of detail, which were rather for the consideration of the committee than arguments against the second reading. He for one was not prepared to express an opinion by a vote against the second reading, that he was altogether opposed to the principle of the hill. As his hon. friend (Mr. :Spooner) had had an opportunity of expres.sing fully what his views were, he would pro- bably see the propriety . of not pressing his amendment to a division,but of proposing such improsements as he wished to be made in the details of the bill when they were in committee. (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER. accepted the suggestion, but preferred that the amendment should be put and negatived.; which having been done, The hill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Friday next. STAMP DUTIES ASSIMILATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER BILLS (11,;66,6001.) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, as was alto the Indemnity Bill. NEW SOUTH WALES. On the motion of Viscount JOCELYN, copies were ordered of the reports of 1846, 1648, and 1640, of committees of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, on the sub ject of steam communication with Europe; and also copies of any resolutions passed with reference to these reports by the said council. CUSTOMS CON! SI ITT E _ _ • Mr. MITCHELL moved that Mr. John Lewis liirardo he • member of the select committee on customs in lieu of Mr. Patton, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. The CH ANCELLOIL of the EXCHEQUER hoped his bon. friend would not persist in his motion. It was thought desirable when the committee was appointed that there should be upon it some member representing one of the Irish ports, and he suggested that that arrangement should be adhered to in tilling up the vacancy which had occurred. Mr. MITCHELL saw no reason for withdrawing his motion. The loon. member he had propped was every way quiditiml by his connexion with the trade and commerce of the country to, pit on the committee. The Secretary of the Treasury hail promised to suggest • gentleman MULL the vacancy but hail not done so. Sir J. T. BULLEU hoped if the hon. gentleman ob jected to withdraw his motion that he would consent to postpone it to allow the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider what lrish member was best fitted for the duty. Lord J. ItlL:nsikiLL also expressed a hope thnt the mo tion would not be premed, and suggested the newly elected member Inc Cork, Mr. Sevin:nut Murphy. Mr. MITCHELL objected to Mr. Scrjeant Murphy as nut being connected with commerce. Mr. Evan, the late member, represented the trefillg claws, and it was desirable that Ilia successor in the committee should do so. ale would "withdraw the motion, and move it again, if ne cessury, /111 a future day. The motion Was then withdrawn. The Inhabited House (Tax) Bill and the Oustoms Bill were severdlly brought in and read a first time.

Twalecinow—Yogamli. ma. ik. 333 a. LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 29. Toe more we see of the workings of the Roman catholic hierarchy, and of its head—the POPE—in Ireland and other European countries, the more we are compelled to entertain the disheartening fear that the great and glorious principle of religious tolera:ion, which has made such pro , ,,, , ress in the old world, and reached its full development in the new, is yet destined to be called in question, and that even in the most enlightened and free countries. The working and the influence of the Roman catholic system in Ireland has been in no way so I fully brought to light, and so glaringly presented to the world, as by a letter written by the Earl of eLt- RENDox, in Dublin, to the Earl of SHREWSBURY, in Rome. His mind and pen set free by that complete confidence which one peer must have in another's honour, the Lotto DEE'rENANT of Inland makes a clean bosom of it to the Earl of StinEwsurav, depicts the conciliatory and liberal conduct of the catholic prelates who rose to eminence by native choice, and contrasts them with the tur bulent, subversive, hostile, and rebellious policy of palates recommended to the PIE by the physical force party in Ireland, and sanctioned and appointed, by that Port: on no better grounds than mere spite to the English government for nets no wise concern ing Ireland. It is plain enough that the deprecatory letter of the Vtetmor was intended to appeal to the Yon: and to enlighten him. It acknowledges on the face of it, that his HoitsEss was far more muster of Ireland, than any British Viceroy or parliament, and that the Roman catholic episcopal bench in Ireland had but to 'rive its orders either upon education or upon land tenure, and that these orders ran paramount 'to either votes of parliament or proclamations of the crown. Is government long possible under such a system? Evidently it is only possible on the condition of yielding to every demand and every decree of that hierarchy. We doubt that it will at once put forward its full desires and demands. It will put forward its MURRATS at one epoch. to seal a compact and conclude a compromise. But it will have a M'IIALE behind to denounce them, and a CULLEN in futon, to treat former concessions as mere rubbish to be trodden down to form the solid floor of a fresh battery of new demands. Estimating future English governments at the average of weakness, eternally in need of con ciliating that powerful body which the Irish catholic' must gradually form in parliament, we may look forward, as to a certainty, to a series of concessions to the Roman catholic 'hierarchy of Ireland, until they are the de juror as well as the dr facto rulers of the country. The only possible barrier against such a spiritual tyranny would I* in the Roman catholic laity; but, masters of education, of the peasantry, and the con fes-ional. and cultivating the old divisions and hatred of the Celtic against the Saxon race. the clergy must remain predominant, and the catholic laity of Ireland will not have the power or the courage to resist their clergy. We should be glad to be proved wrong. but we seriously and sincerely fear that the Roman catholic church, built as it was fur the p of rivalling, beating down, and defending itself Zainst temporal despotism, is too strong. too authoritative, too dictatorial to be kept in harmony with the other powers of the state, except by temporal despoti , m. One thing is certain, that constitutional monarchies have not yet found the means, or solved the problem, 1 of living with a catholic hierarchy in peace. A separation of church and state, it is said. will solve the problem. No doubt it would solve a great many problems. As long as Roman catholicism is hut a sect insignificant in numbers or in the zeal and o faith which keeps it together and lodges power in the priesthood , so long its separation from the state might lead to no inconvenience. But an independent Roman catholic church, counting millions of men, minds, and aims, and led by a hierarchy with a shrewdly directed and hereditary po- Hey, wmitil soon be master of any government, monarchic or republican, that maintained no de fences or kept no guarantees against it. What these defences are we are not prepared to MT.

FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY ETZNINO. M. Semler, secretary of embassy at St. Peters burg, has been appointed French secretary - of em buoy at London. Until the arrival of General Auptck, M. Serurier will fulfil the functions at charge d'affaires ad interim. The Union pronounces to-day decidedly against the prolongation of the powers of Louis Napoleon. General Perrot held yesterday the first of a series of reviews of the various legions of the National Guard, after the completion of which a grand review h d e o lcl oo b t y omi the t o p f ees th i e de w o h t. ole n N e at e i , i e lt s i o a o l s G of uag e i e s oa t riti be on It o put a suspicious construction on this design. Five and twenty persons, accused of attempting to incite workmen to an entente on the 4th of May, were apprehended yesterday by the police in various taverns, and confined in the prefecture. The question of the day is the preparation of peti tions throughout France for the revision of the con stitution ; and, in the present humour of the National Assembly, with so large a mixture of waverers in the club of the Rue des Pyramides, no doubt a good deal of weight will be attached to the opinions of the country expressed in this way. It is, however, utterly useless to attempt to shadow forth results front the small beginnings which have been made in various departments. The Bonapartist organs call upon the Parisians to adopt one and the same form of petition, which is drawing up, according to the Bulletin de Paris, by some members of the electoral union. I announced to you, from the moment - that M. Guizot and his co-fusionists took possession of the Assembler Nationale, that it was a mistake to sup pose that this party would advocate the prolongation of the powers of Louis Napoleon. The following fact shows that I did not mislead you. The Duke do Valmy, a legitimist of the conciliatory section of the party, and one of the members of the directing com mittee of the Assendike N«tionale. has addressed a I circular to the electors of the Musette under the title of "Reply to Questions addres sed to tho Fusionist Committee of the Moselle," in which he passes in review all the candidates to the presidency —L. N. Bonaparte, Joinville, Ledru-Rollin, and Cavitigsac, and declares that that of Louis Napoleon is the least satisfactory mid most dangerous of all. To-day the Assembly proceeded to ballot for the nppointmeut of a member of the council of state. MM. Conte, Darcy, Mandaroux-Vcrtamy, and C. Lesseps were at the head of the list, but in two suc cessive ballots none of the candidates obtained the absolute majority. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss the se cond reading of the Sugar Bill, but no result what ever was arrived at. The stories in the papers about M. de Fulloux's interviews with the President and ministers are pure fabrications, that legitimist ex-minister nut having yet arrived in Paris. Donesso Cortes, the Spanish minister, and General Narvaez have broken utf intercourse. The committee on the Paris and Avignon Railway Bill assembled on Saturday, to hear explanations from MM. Seguin, Ferrets., and itousselet, repre senting the different companies which have proposed to contract for the line. M. Seguin undertakes to complete the line front Chalons to Avignoisin thirty months, on receiving an indemnity of front Iso to ISS millions. In the event of the state taking on itself the passage through Lyons, the company would make a deduction front the indemnity of 21 millions. It offers to lodge as a guarantee in the hands of the state a sum of 6 millions for 20 years. It also consents to leave to the state the profits over and above 10 per cent., and undertakes the haulage and the repair of the line at the rate of sfr. a metre. M. Ferre , re, who represents an English company, requested that the affair might be postponed to Tuesday next, in order that he might obtain an answer from England. M. Rousselet proposes to farm the line for 40 years. He offers to reimburse in capital and interest the sum which the state shall have paid to MM. Ribaud and Read, up to the amount of 200 millions, which is equivalent to an annual rental of 14 millions, and to deposit by way of caution-money a sum equal to the amount of one year's rent. The committee separated without coming to any resolution. Yesterday, the committee appointed by the Minister of Public Works for the inspection of the Lyons Railway, and consisting of MM. Dulaure, Daru, and Etienne, and other persons, started to examine the newly-completed section from Tonnerre to Dijon. The line from Paris to Chalons, 100 French leagues in length, is now finished; but before the official inauguration a trial trip is now making by the com mittee. The committee will then proceed to Lyons by steam-boat, examine the surveys for different lines lietween Lyons and Avignon, and, in fact, acquire on the spot all information tending to solve the various difficulties of the whole Question. The main object of the committee will be, however, to enable the Assembly to come to a decision as to the merits of 1 the plan of the company which offers to execute the section from Chalon to Lyons in three years, and has been recommended by M. Magne, the Minister of Public Works. The committee of supplementary credits has charged its president, M. Palsy, with the examina tion of Jerome Bonaparte's claim to 210,000 fr. for arrears of pay. Yesterday was inaugurated, with the usual cere monies, the little branch of the St. Germain railway, two or three miles in length, from Asnieres to Ar genteuil. A great number of merchants at Paris, more ca l less interested in maritime commerce, are getting up a petition to the Assembly to adopt the sugar bill an amended by the committee, particularly . as regards the establishment of a differential duty in favour of French colonial sugar, and the reduction of the extra duty on foreign sugars. The question of theatrical censorship was yester day brought forward before the annual assembly of dramatic authors. M. Victor Hugo delivered a speech, in which he demanded the "abolition of the law, as contrary to the constitution." The meeting, greatly agitated after this demand, formally expressed the desire to see the word "constitution removed from the resolution proposed, and very marked interrup tions from all parts clearly proved that the dramatic authors, jealous above all of their dignity, will never consent to become the stepping-stones of a man or a party. M. Victor Hugo thereupon declared that, in consequence of the clearly expressed ill-will of the Assembly with respect to the constitution, and of the necessity imposed on him of withdrawing that word, he would not be responsible for the proposition so modified. M. Saint Hilaire. a vaudevillist, then took up the resolution as amended, and it was adopted, but only by a small majority. The notice of the Minister of War in the Moniteur de r.lroMe, which I mentioned yesterday, reminding military men of the existence of rules Which prevent them from publishing any composition without the leave of the Minister of War, has drawn much at tention. and meets with some very just reflections front the National. The existence of a decree which dooms to a mute servitude and entire abeyance of in tellect, in an active sense, so large a class of citizens, seems altogether incompatible even with the limited freedom which is enjoyed by the French under their republic. A more degrading feature of tyranny could not exist under the sway of the Czar or Sultan, but such is the humour of the Legislative Assembly that the mere fact of a motion for the emancipation of the army front such an onerous censorship, ema nating from the Mountain, would be quite enough to doom it to failure, and to perpetuate the obligation. The great avenue of the Champs Elysees presents a singular spectacle just now, in consequence of the preparations for the fete of the 4th of May. A por tion of the decorations consists in a douSle line of colossal statues in plaster, each some 30 feet in stature. All hi•torical celebrities connected with the French republic have been carefully excluded, while those Nov ayette, re which could reflect any creait upon the monar c hy and empire appear in marshals ' uniforms, d ou bl e t an d ruff, or But one rmedcaP-aftic the the grave Sully, and yond e r th e chivalrous Dus - mig . ht ll loo ere k iisnthe vain impetuousfor L Condoreet, or even Voltaire. Last year the republic wasrepresentedbya spacious female,—in 1851, even this plaster complement has been suppressed. But the really interesting part of the business is to ace the sculptors at work on these enormous figures, and the rapid dexterity with which they timber nailed together, and bound about with straw, with handfuls of gypsum, which gradually swell into well-proportioned 'limbs, suitably draped, with ex pressive gesture. A regular school of artists is To win the post of power, protection has to gain a preponderant influence in three kingdoms, or else to gain such a predominance in the greatest of the three as may enable it to dispense with the support of the other two. As the genius of protection has at all times been sanguine anclshortsightetl, and equally incapable of appreciating the forbearance or the strength opposed to it, we can readily imagine how it may have gradually come to believe that its retro grade principles arc really making progress in each, if not in all, the constituent portions of the empire. Inflated with its supposed importance, it struts about with the solemn airs, and talks in the grave incoherent tone of a madman who claims a peerage that is in reality extinct. The solemn gait and pompous gibberish are harmless enough, and so long us the maniac antics amount to nothing more we are disposed in humanity to let them have way. But all lunatics have, it is said, a certain dash of cunning in them; and they are all more or less disposed to be mischievous. We know of no mischief much greater than that of trying . to bamboozle the ignorant and credulous. Yet this, we fear, is what protection is about just now, wherever it can venture to make the attempt. The other day it ran down to Edinburgh, by mail train, pretending that all Scotland had called it, and stood with open arms ready to receive it. Lament able was its consequent exposure. Beyond a brace of baronets, a pair of professors, and some half dozen lairds of small degree, there was literally nobody coming to woo. The emigration from Lon don had even their misgivings as to the feasibility of their effecting a pacific entrance and unmolested retreat from the theatre of their enthusiastically no popular demonstration : and a story is told, we know not with what foundation, that having earnestly re requested the attendance of an influential function ary of the Fair City, he assured them of his readiness to give them what they seemed to require for one day—namely, " ample protection:" but that further he could in no way aid th .m. What happened after dinner on that distressing occasion, how the chairman talked loosely about the interest on the national debt, and how the professors tumbled un guardedly into a mess of mulled statistics, and were so scalded as to be seriously injured, it is supposed for life,—all this mods no repetition. As for the realm of Scotland, it remains true to its ancient character of knowing what it is about too well to throw away its big bread and cheap butter when it has got it. Scotland has a keen sense of tho pleasures of memory. It clearly recollects what it used to he to have to live on short commons; and it is perfectly determined never to try that mode of existence again if it con help it. Scotland scoffs at the notion of going hack to protection. Its mer chants, its manufacturers, its men of letters, its men of genius ; above all, its educated, orderly, frugal, and reflective millions, laugh the landlord - dodge- to scorn. Equally vain have been the recent efforts of pro tection to play the part of patriot in Ireland. For years there has not been so good an opportunity there for its purpose. The whigs arc confessedly unpopular with the masses of all persuasions in that polemically distracted land; and to be suspected of favouring them is the most damaging imputation that could be cast at the present moment at a cant dilate on the hustings. But hatred to rack-ren and land monopoly is deeper than dislike of the whigs ; and to be a free-trader covers a multitude of sins. Mr. Poxsositv was more than suspected of whiggery by the electors of Dim garcon ; was avowedly its bitter assailant. But the former professed himself manfully against raising the price of bread and the price of land (for they arc one and the same thing), while the latter confessed that he has of late become an advocate fir a fixed duty. The result was two to one at the poll in favour of Mr. PONSON BY. In like manner, at Longford, all the odds at start ing seemed to be in favour of the protectionist. A good landlord, habitually resident, and at the critical hour of nomination on the spot to answer all ques tioners and questions—liberal in religious views, and disposed to go a good way towards un accommo dation with the tenant league—Mr. STEATOR seemed to be the very man fitted to secure the popular voice. On the other hand, his antagonist was 3,001) miles off, with the livery of office still clinging to his shoulders, and with no antecedents calculated to render him a favourite either with ultra-liberals or 1 tenant-righters. But Mr:ol'pa m'. was known to he a decided supporter of the policy of free-trade, while his rival announced himself as a reactionist— towards high rents and dear food. The event is well known. Last of all comes the election for the city of Cork, where the only candidate declares himself to be de cidedly opposed, even on catholic grounds, to attempting to overthrow the present administra tion. Sergeant MURPHY had the pleasure of being suffered to walk over the course ; but with supererogatory frankness, he appears subsequently to his being declared duly elected, to have submitted to a searching catechetical examination as to the origin of political evil in Ireland. In the course of this animated scene, in which the serjeant was as ready to become the assailant as to defend himself, the controversy drifted, as if inevitably, on the sunken rocks of protection. The ex-candidate for Danger van energetically strove to gain a hearing for his arguments in favour of a fixed duty. But the cur rent ran too strong . and deep the other way. It would not do; and spite of all the advantages which a popular style, popular goodwill, and popular posi tion gave Mr. NIAGUIRE over the new M.P., the ver -1 diet was iu favour of free trade. Collecting their strength cor weakness) once more around their chiefs, and calling in all their wounded vedettes, the army of protection is about to be re viewed at Drurv-fane this day ; and atter the fashion of the grand humbug at Satory last Autumn, the officers after the parade of the morning, are to get a bit of cold chicken and a glwis of champagne.. We are not ill-natured by disposition, and the poor ,protectionists so frequently make us laugh. that we finch it difficult to be morose with them. We shall, therefore, only say, that we hope their collation, or dinner, in the play-house, whichever it is to be, will be more digestable and wholesome than their matu tired rhetoric, which, if it dues not differ widely from all the samples we have ever had before, is sure to be sad stuff. PASSPORT SI,TEM IN BELGIUM.—The inhahitanti of the town of Ootend,impregad with the unnecessary strict- nem of the measures adopted by the police, with regard to the passports of foreigner., have determined upon petition ing the Minister of Justice against the continuance of the annoyance to which strangers arc subjected by the existing police regulations. The petition state: that at a time when vast numbers from all parts of the world are about proceeding to the world's great fair, it is absurd and detnmental to the interests of the nation to offer any obstruction to the free passage of travellers, that Belgium by her geographit al position is calculated to afford the lest accommodation fur travellers to or from many pans of the continent, and that unless some alteration of the present passport system imnudiately takes place, tra vellers will be deterred from passing through Belgium, and that the ports of Calais, Rotterdam, Boulogne, and others, where less annoyance is offered, will decidedly have the preference over the ports of Belgium. The petition, which already bears numerous signatures, concludes with the ex pression of a hope that through immediate intervention on ' the part of the proper authorities the present annoying system will be put a stop to. illE AMERIC.tN 111.tu.s.—We understand that there is little doubt that the Royal Mail Steam-ships from Liverpool to sew York and Boston will at no very distant date receive orders to make llolylivad their mail-station. We are happy to believe, however, that this alteration will be confine d to the inward mails solely ; the outward being despatched from Lis rpood direct, in order to enable the commenrial men of the Mersey to avail themselves of the last moment of time previous to the departure of the steamers. We have not yet been able to procure official information on the subject ; but we hare every confidence that our statement will prove correct.—Lircrpool mounted on each scaffolding, and you see the scull. tor-in-chief surce);i;g the work as it grows, while a little complete model, about a foot long, is set up on! a stand to guide the modellers. Singular and gro tesque is the effect of the half-finished figures, and when you see the gracious heard and corselet of Henri IV. quite smoothly moulded off while his bowels of straw arc waiting for their clay integu ments, you are surprised that the artist can look so earnest during the incomplete stages of his own work. On the whole, one comes away from this prodigious perspective with a feeling of contentment that all the halt a million of francs voted for thefetc is not spent is lamps and fireworks, and that some hundreds of ingenious fellows are employed upon classical, although ephemeral creations, and you are struck with a respectful marvel of how much can be done in a few hours to affect the mind artfully with such coarse materials managed with skill and taste. There was a notable fall to-day in the funds. The Fives declined Ssc., and closed at 90-83. The Threes fell 43c., and closed at 36.30. GERMANY. The Intipendenec Beige contains a telegraphic despatch, dated Sunday evening, which states that General Itoehow, Prussian minister at St. Peters burg, will be offered the post of plenipotentiary at Frankfort, and that it is believed he will accept it. Our correspondent writes as follows : BERLIN, Aram 26. Count Arnim Ileinrichsdorff, the newly-appointed ant bassador to Vienna, is to leave on the 28th. his predeces sor, Count Dernstrolf, will probably be sent to relieve General Rochow at St. Petersburg. The lithographed Correspondence has received informa tion of a terrible and wide-spread conspiracy, whose purposes arc, of course, r : •volutionary. The head quarters of this body are said to be London, the chief scat of their opera tions the south of France, with active committees and sub committees in Germany, Italy, and Spain ; the conspira tors arc said to be provided with pecuniary resources, and to have established a perfect system of military organ isation, the ultimate aim of which is the procla mation of a European social republic. Information of the conspiracy has been received by the' governments of Vienna and St. Petersburg, and appears to 1w credited there. It has made a profound impression here, and may perhaps be made the handle to some new measures of oppression. The debate in the First Chamber this morning referred to the report of the Committee on Finance, and especially that branch of it referring ti the abolition of the govern ment banks for lending money on the security of goods, and the transfer of the ten million thalcrs of which their capital consists to the non-lwaring interest portion of the national debt. It was chiefly remarkable from the resig nation of his post as president of the commis sion, handed to the chamber by Deputy Kuhne, one of the best financiers whom Prussia pososses. After some discussion the recommendation of the committee was rejected, and the law adopted in its Original form. The loan banks are to be abolished, and the notes, to the amount of 10 transferred to the non-bearing interest por tion of the national debt. The eintliseation of the yesterday morning's impression of the Onatitationdle has been annulled, and the lonian." , returned to the publishers', but without cm word of expla nation. In the bailie journal is announced the fact that another number confiscated Eve months ago was returned today by the police. GREECE AND THE LEVANT. We have !revived, by the Levant mail. Athens journals to the ltith and Constantinople to the 11th. The Ciiiirrier d'.lth. , nes gives a list of hands of brigands now infesting Western Greece. The most formidable are those of Caramba, who is at the head of 12 men ; Gradoula with Li men, Caragounides with 17, and Bala& with 19 men, besides two more bands of Ili men each, whose chiefs are not known. It appears from all accounts that the system of bri gandage has spread over the country to a degree hitherto unparalleled. The Minerra estimates the total number of public robbers now in Greece at 1,000. The sub-prefect of Livadia has issued a cir cular to all the mayors, recommending the utmost vigilance on their part respecting the movements of the brigands. The Journal de Msatantilupple con tains no news of interest. The quarantine imposed at Malta on vessels ar riving front Constantinople is reduced to twenty-four hours. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. By the arrival yesterday at Liverpool of the Baltic, mail steam-ship, we are in possession of a week's later intelligence front the leading cities and ports of the continent of North America and of the British harbour connected therewith. The Baltic left the harbour of New York at mid-day on the 16th inst. She brings over 30,4001 in specie, and the largest number of passengers yet arrived by a steam-ship, above Ytx). - The case of the fugitive slave arrested at Boston has been decided in favour of the claimant. Every effort was made to place legal obstacles in the way of his rendition, but without success. On April 8 a second application was made on his behalf for a writ of Words corpus. This was argued by . Robert Ran toul, late senator from Massachusetts in the United States Congress. The court decided against the ap plication. On the 11th the fugitive, having been delivered to the agent of the claimant by the certifi cate of the commissioner, was put on board a brig lying :at Long-wharf, which was taken down the harbour by a steamer, on her way south, without any disturbance. At the recent state election in Connecticut, there was no choice of governor by the people. The whigs have a small majority in both branches of the legis lature. Charles Allen, the free soil candidate, is re-elected to Congress from Massachusetts, by a majority} of 250. The governor of New Mexico, James S. Calhoun, was lately inaugurated at Santa Fe. The census of New Mexico is completed, showing rt populat . in the territory of 61,571, of which 650 are Americans. Among the Mexicans over 21 years of age, one in every 103 has learned to read. It is stated that there is a doubt whether Texas will be entitled to two representatives in Congress by the population under the new census. Governor Bell is a candidate for re-election. A detachment of United States troops recently overtook a band of 1 Indians who had committed depredations on the Cihalo River. The whole of the stolen property was recovered, and two of the Indians killed, without any loss on the part of the troops. Chilly Mclntosh, head war chief of the Creek nation, has been or dained to the gospel ministry, and is now employed by the Baptist board as one of the native preachers. Jenny Lind sang at Cincinnati on April 14. There were 2,180 persons present, and the receipts exceeded I 11),(810 dull. A ticket had been sold at 575 dull., premium. Jenny Lind was afterwards to sing at Wheeling, and thence proceed to Baltimore and the' east. A letter dated New Orleans, April 11, says : "Mdlle. Parodi has arrived here. She gives her first concert next Monday, and intends visiting the prin cipal western cities. The crevasse excitement has subsided, and the river is falling slowly." From Mexico, we learn that Arista, the new Pro sident, is taking a firm stand in the accomplishment of his leading measures. "This," says the Tribune " is a favourable omen for his success, as no man can retain power in Mexico unless he holds the reins of government with a strong hand—a filet of which Arista appears to be no less perfectly aware than was Santa Anna." The difficulties between the Governor of Oaxaca, Manes, and the revolutionist Melendez arc no yet settled. A treaty was made between them a short time since ; this gave great offence to the people of Tehuantepec; so much so, that they threatened to take the lite of Munos. In order to reinstate himself in their favour, Munos pretended that the provisions of the treaty had not been ob served, and marched upon the town of Yuichatan, which was the head-quarters of Nlelindez. With five hundred troops he put Melindez and a portion of his followers to flight, while the remainder surrendered without a struggle. Melindez, at the last accounts, was with a party of his men among the mountains of Churielapa. It was doubtful whether ho would re turn to continue the contest or retire to Guatemala. The accession of Arista to the presidency was celebrated with great enthusiasm at Tehuantepec. The United States flag was hoisted at the American consulate, and the compliment was returned by a salute from the Mexican authorities. The American commissioner for the Mexican bound ary, at the last advices, was, with his party of 160, encamped at different places near Franklin, San Francisco, and the Socorro ; while the Mexican com missioner, with a party of 80, were at El Paso. The two commissioners had met and agreed upon a start ing point, but this has not been publicly announced. A son of the late Emperor Iturbidc is one of the Mexican party. The Americans have experienced many hardships, and many had become wearied with their enterprise, and were desirous of returning home. They will not probably leave their present encamp ment during the summer. We have dates from Yucatan to March tn.—The war between the whites and barbarians is still raging with great ferocity. The line of operations is established about thirty lea,,, , mes from Merida. Four teen thousand Yucatan soldiers are guarding the cordon, while some twenty thousand well armed Indians arc in hostile array on the opposite side. The Indians are furnished with arms aad ammuni tion by the English. There is no prospect of con quering them while sustained by such powerful aid, and the Spanish race in Yucatan seem doomed to des truction. Property has almost wholly lost its value. Families who a few years since were in the recep tion of an independent income from their estates, are now reduced to the necessity of manual labour. The troops arc destitute of clothing ; they have no supplies of food, and cannot sustain themselves long in their present wretched condition. It would not be sur prising if the Indians were to gain possession of the city of Merida in less than a month. No hopes are awakened by the substitution of General La Vega for Michelteviena in the chief military command. A violent norther sprang up at Tampico on the 6th of March, while the English steamer was waiting outside the bar for specie amounting to nearly 800,000 dols., and she was compelled to leave the coast at once, leaving the money, the mails, and the passengers behind. Among the latter was General La Vega, who was on his way to Yucatan, to take command of the troops in that pro vince against the Indiana. Gen. La ewes place as military commandant at Tamaulipas has been taken by Gen. Francisco Garay. COMMERCIAL. NEW I llltk, TuESDAY EVENING, Amu. 15. Mowrf.—ln anticipation of the opening of the Eris Cant.
