Lord Stanley in this statement find reverts v. hat hr stated to her Majesty. (Lord John Itteried then read the extracts from Lord litunley's letter to the Cle. in rerbatots as reported in another column as read to tat 11..11-e of Larch by lord Stanley himself.) I mahmet Is, the house whether these extract• do nut fully la•ar out my statement that lord Stanley we, nut tt tbyti prepared to form a government ? (Cheers.) I have the gratification to say that, after I had made my Malmo. nt in the haute, fiord Stanley informed me that, `.7!::! - !' !le does not agree altogether in that statement, he does not wish to qualify in the least degree this last part of his litter. Now, sir, It IA satisfactory to me to be enabled to niche this statement, and to say that the extracts 1 have read have lawn read with the entire cons•ut of lord Stanley and by Lord Stanley's wish. (Cheers ) bating, therefore, the correction of what 1 nail on the Cornier "erosion, 1 have now to state that, having tern desired by her NI spyty to attempt to ruronstruet an administration, her Majesty w►s pleased, as l'rinee Albert observes in the wee. 1 have road, to desire the KIWI of Aberdeen and Sir J3M411 Graham to at tend her ; and that, by her Majesty's desire, 1 met Lord Aberdeen and Sir Janie+ Graham at the palette; and after wards Intl a communication with them epee the suhject. ' /IMO extracts from lord Stanley's letter, I feel it night to say that no perconal considerati.ms stand in the way of the Inrmatiou of a government by time *Mow• opinion, appear to prevail in the House of I• . If Lord Aber deen and Sir J. Graham eould not fonr at with me in the tarnishing of a government it wax not that any personal eon . coneur in the opinion I dezprewanl on the intnaluctiom of that bill. It is still my opinion that the ea-, sumption of those titles was an assumption of power on the part of a foreign prince and those who were comme.sioned by hint that it wan imposti hk for the parliament of England to endure. (Loud cheers.) I will ,av this, however, that I thought. and *till think, that the main object to be obtained was the vindica tion of the national independence on the subject -the wirer titre of the supremacy of the crown, and people of England, as against any foreign power whatsoever. But, par, with regard to the biU which we have introduced, though all paint were taken in the framing of it, we have been told by persons of comfit tent authority thet, looking to the proceisl sags of the courts of law in Ireton!, and having respect to what has been the practice both lwfore the year 1829 and since, that bill would, in its second and third clauses , inter-1 fere, perhaps, with the ordination, and certainly with the collation, of priests; and that it would also interfere with bequests which hail lwen previously allowed by the decisions of 'dation. courts of law. Now, sir, I will say at once that it wadi reit our iut..ution to interfere with anything belong ing to the regular order of the Roman catholic church, nor to prevent the Houton catholic,. from enjoying their worship j and ecele‘iasti.-11 functions undisturbed. So fur we were alllittlig to maintain the religious liberty that has prevailed i in this ewintry.

I was afraid to ere.ent myself lest it might lie considered presumptuous an one who holds no official cha- , tarter whatever at the present critical juncture of affairs, and lest also I might use any imprudent expression which might agftravate difficulties, which, from my heart, I would wish to remove. (near, hear.) 1 under- , stand, however, that some explanation is expected from me, and I will endeavour tumuli(' that explanation as succinctly, but as plainlyus it lies in my ',meta; and I hope the house will bear with me while I lay before them as much of what has pained ns I think I can consistently do without inertias ing present difficulties. (Ilear, hear.) On Saturday even ing, as the noble lord opposite is aware, Lord Aberdeen and I received the commands of her Majesty to wait opt her at !ft-kingham Palace, and there we were honoured with an audience, which informed us that, Lord Stanley not being then prepared to form an administration, Lord John Russell was empowered to make un endeavour to re construct 116 government; and her Majesty gave her MM. mandalltut, tiyin-,1 aside all political differences and diffi culties, we should meet Lord John Russell in a spirit of amicable arrangement. for the purpose of seeing if it were possible to form a government on a more extended basis, with a due regard to our own private convictions of what was necessary for the public service. Then. commands Lord Aberdeen and I obeyed; and it is superfluous for me to say that, having received a command from that, the highest, quarter, I would be wanting in grateful obedience, and in the gratitude of one who had served that rove . reign for many years, if, knowing that her wishes were for the welfare and happin,a and contentment of her people, I did nut do my utmost to meet the conjuncture, and to act with the noble lord its, in a v- it of eonciliatio- - • oppose- _.. _ ,pint eideratienes stood in the way.

This difficulty, don to tree trade. Itherefore, as related to a junction with my noble friend After some remarks from Mr. Sroomin and Mr. Wyso, , opposite, was insuperable. (Hear, hear.) the noble lord Mr. WAKLEY demanded whether there were any ad was willing to modify the bill, but he could not consent to ministration actually in existence ? It appeared that we abandon it. (Hear, tear.) Lord Aberdeen and I, on the were to be governed by the lag end of the Whig and tory other hand, viewing all the circumstances of the case— factions, and by incompetent binning's with aristocratic con seeing the imminent danger likely to arise from abstaining neetious. Why was not Mr. Iluwe sent for to take a Claire altogether from some interference—(hear, hear)—and seeing n the ministry ? He then, at great length, explained what danger from a perseverance in this legislation—(hear)—we the new ministry ought to do. could not consent to the measure before the house, even in Lord J. lit SSELL—There seems to he some misunder its more modified shape. (Hear.) The noble lord thus standing. What 1 stated was, that the late administration ascertained that this difficulty was insuperable, though, I had offered their resignation, and that now there was no believe, agreement on other points was not impaasible. Yet administration existing, and that it would, therefore', be this was cardinal—(loud laughter)—and it was impossible impossible fur me or any one else to state what were the to agree upon it. (Hear.) Now, here the objection to the measures of government until an administration is formed. junction was still more conclusive against Lord Aberdeen Alderman SIDNEY was convinced that any attempt to to form a government; for I do not dissemble from you prolong the income tax must destroy the administration who that the feeling of Great Britain has been so excited— attempted it.

(Hear respousibilities of government. hear.) But, then, I do not forget that 395 gentlemen of After a few words from Mr. SLANZT, who was understood this house have voted for the introduction of the bill, and to express his willingness to support any government under that the feeling of the people of England and Scotland, the existing difficulties of the country, the house adjourned roused in the extreme, is in every possible manner in unison at a few minutes before eight. with the opiaion of her Majoity s advisers, and is quite opposed to the view of Lord Aberdeen and myself. (Hear, hear.) To attempt to conduct the government on the prin ciple of not interfering would have been abortive — (hear, hear)—and to appeal to the people on the subject would, perhaps, involve them in a most vital and angry struggle—(hear, hear)—and we, therefore., came to tho conclusion that we could not advise her Moijesty to form a government on a principle which, I believe, is not in conformity with the bill. (Ilear.) Now, it may be said that this is an afterthought on my part--a subterfuge on my part to escape. the responsibilities of office. I wish to guard myself on that point, for I have irrefragable evidence that will do so. In the county of Cumberland, in the month of November, a requisition was circulated for a county meeting. I have an intimate friend, Mr. Howard, of (haystack, a gentleman descended from a Itoman catholic family, and first cousin to the Duke of Norfolk, and he said tt was wise to call a public meeting, for the purpose of addressing the crown, in order that room legislative mea sures should be taken on the subject of paled aggression. 1 addressed a letter to Mr. Howard on the 23rd of Noreen , her, stating my reasons why I thought that course inexpe dient ; and in that letter, not wishing to add to the ditlicul , ties of the government, which I knew were extreme—for I am bound to say that the step taken by the Pope in his brief, and by Cardinal Wiseman in his pastoral, Was of a ' character so uffensive—(hear, hear)-1 must say rendered more offensive, because it was the result of design and pre-1 ' meditation—(hear, hear) —that it was extremely difficult' for the noble lord opposite to allow such an insult to puss I unnoticed—(hear, hear). But entertaining my (objections L then to legislation on the subject, I thought it my duty to L state my objeetions somewhat at large, and, though un • willing to ask you to listen to them, I will nevertheless do t out, having received Mr. Iluward's permission to read the • letter. (Hear, hear.) It is couched in these terms— IRELAND. Desttx, FIR. 23. The address agreed to at the meeting of the Ro man catholic bishops, held in Dublin, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, has been issued. It bears the signatures of the whole of the existing Roman catholic hierarchy of Ireland, tw•o•or three of the bishops who were not present having signed it by proxy. Those who have yet had an opportunity of seeing the address consider that it is couched in much milder language than was expected, and that the ftvlings of the Roman catholic population of Ire laud arc now roused to such a pitch of excitement on this subject, that the tone of the document may cause some disappointment. Ido not think it likely, how ever, that it will have any such effect, but on the 'contrary the violent speakers at the meetings throughout the country will find it is quite a suffi cient text for their purpose. The opinion of counsel alluded to by the bishops has not yet got publicity, sonic delay having occurred owing to the leamed gen tleman (11f r. o'l I agan, Q.C.) who was consulted, 'king on circuit, and requiring to see a proof sheet of his opinion before it was allowed to go abroad. I under stand, however, that Mr. 011agan hies expounded the prowsed measure pretty much in the same sense in which it has been understood already by those who take the Itoman catholic view of the subject. The business of the spring assizes has commenced on all the circuits, but no trial of any public interest has yet taken place. In Clare, the trial of Mr. Smith, a magistrate. for a conspiracy to murder his mother, has been again postponed, and will not take place until next assizes. In almost all the places where the judges have vet addressed the grand juries they have complimented them on the great diminu tion of crime.

The house will remember that, on the part of Sir Robert f'eel's government, I was the person to move for the endow ment of the Roman catholic College of Ilaynooth ; a measure I ant bound to say, that, in my humble belief, shook the foundation and strength of the government by whom it was proposed; but which, nevertheless, I believe to have been a debt of justice due to the people of Ireland, and, whatever its effects, a measure which I never can regret. Above all, I was the organ of Sir It. Peel's government on the Charitable Bequests Act, an act, be it observed, which recognised the distinctions of Itoman catholic archbishops and bishops and clergy of Ireland. It uses, certainly, something of a periphrasis. It says, "Bishops officiating in divtricts," and "clergy having the pastoral cure of congregations." Now, what is a " district" ,but a diocese ; and what is lie who has ' " the pastoral care lof congregations " but a parish priest ? (Hear, hear.) That act, I need not say, hail most important and I think useful consequences, and undoubtedly gave to the Roman catholic clergy advantages which they had not before pos sessed in respect to the uses of charitable trusts bequeathed to them. .My letter proceeds :—" 1 see offended, indeed, by the arrogance and folly of the language which the l'ut'e and his cardinal thought fit to employ in announcing an ecclesiastical arrangement which I believe to bu lawful, and which I do nut consider dangerous.

I, however, did not conceal them. They' , were WOr unknow n in many quarters. But having put " them on record, I appeal to the house, I appeal to the , Icountry, whether it was possible, entertaining deeply the conviction of the truth of those sentiments, that I could ' have become a party to the further prismsvo of a bill, such us that which the noble lord's convictions have in duced him to introduce, and whether, also, I could hare formed part of a new administration, based upon a refusal to omit a measure of that description. (('heers.) It will , he evident that if I were pandering to the popular passions —if I could ever consent to seek power by such means—l should carefully have abstained from taking the course which I have taken.

(Cheers,) Step by step we should be dragged into penal legis lation.

Graham and the house against tamely and laugnidly conceding to popish audacity. , The people of England were strongly excited upon the', , aggression question, and would be satisfied with nothing ' less than the late government's inmate, only regretting that it it did not go much further. Mr. JOHN 0 CONNELL denied that the people of England took any large share in the mischievous and facti tious agitation to which the last speaker had referred, and declared that such agitation bad its rise in the selfish terrors of the English clergy. Ile was mire that thu people of Ireland could net be insulted with impunity. The view taken by Sir J. Graham was replete with wisdom. Mr. B. OSBORNE complained that the ministerial ex planations had explained little or nothing. They were still DIAPERATE OVTRAGE AND BRAVE DEFENCE.— One of the most desperate outrages that has been com mitted in this county for a lengthened period was perpe trated on Monday night last, at a place called Limekiln, on the Broughal estate, within about one mile of the town of Frankford. About the hour of II o'clock the house of a farmer named Michael Carroll was attacked by a party con sisting, it is supposed, of six or seven armed men, whose object was plunder. Two sisters of Carroll's were very soon to start for America, and had made ample prepara tions for the voyage. Their clothing, with good sea store, and a handsome sum of money which they purposed taking with them, was in the house at the time. 'the funny consisting of Carroll, his sisters, an old man and a servant buy, had just retired to bed when the attack was made. The house was well secured within, and when admittance was demanded he refused to comply, and declared his determination to resist them at the risk of his life. The party then ordered him "to hand out the money which his sisters were taking to America." Ile &nit d that he had any in the house, when they insisted. he should hand it out, but Carroll still refusing to accede to their wishes, the party fired several shots into the house, Carroll pliantly returning the tire, and declares he saw one man fall, and immediately after he states that he heard heavy moaning. The finng then ceases!, and the party moved off, carrying with them their wounded comrade, hut in a short time the wretches again returutsi, swearing vehemently that they should have satisfaction, and at once proceeded to set the premises on tire. They remained around the house until the entire concerns were in flames, when they made off, Raring detection, as the dames would no doubt have attracted some of the neighbours to the spot. 'rhe Carrolls, after the gang had gone away, removed the fastenings. They got tout uninjured, and secured all their money except two W. notes which Carroll had received that day, and had placed in a box for security. A ton of oatmeal, fourteen barrels of oats, the beds and bed ding, &c. were all in flames. When the servant boy rescued himself front the fire, he mounted a horse and rode into Frankton! to apprise the police. Captain Fitzmattriee, the efficient magistrate, on temoorary duty there, accompanied by Sub-inspector Coe, Ileati-constable Melbourne and party, promptly proceeded to the scene of outrage, and re mained out all night searching the country. They arrested some prisoners. From the motive exertions heretofore of Captam Fitemaurice in repressing crime and outrage, we have no doubt but that every possible effort will be made by that intelligent magistrate and the police to bring the miscreants to justice. Since the foregoing was put into type further particulars have reached us. There is no doubt whatever but that Carroll wounded one of the party. Ile behaved gallantly ; he fired three shots, and having loaded the last rather heavily, he received a severe shuck and the cock of his From was broken. There has been no trace whatever of the wounded man ; all the inmates immedi ately after Carroll fired heard a shout, then groans. Car roll s entire premises have been consumed, together with his corn and furniture. Two of the prisoners arrested by the police are detained in tustaly.—King's County Chrunkle.

REPRESENTATION OF NOTTINGIIAM.—In the event of a general election it in understood that there will be an attempt made by the leading whigs and conservatives to secure the joint return of the lion. E. Strutt and Mr. Walter. Both these gentlemen are free traders, and in favour of an extension of the suffrage. A coalition of this nature would be very formidable, and would not, it is thought, unless Mr. O'Connor again presented himself, be at all opposed, and even then only very ineffectually.— Nottingham Reticle. REPRESENTATION OF HL LL.—The Right Hon. M. T. Baines, President of the Poor Law Board, has announeed that it is not his intention, at the next general election, to offer himself as a candidate for the honour of again repre senting the borough of Rull in parliament.
