Unless w+-ay powers of sale of land far rates that avoids asertain time overdue, be given to the essaimiooses, we cannot persuade ourselves that the Hones et Omani will ever be brought to impose a national rate in aid upon the rest of Ireland. But, sure we are that if so flagrant a wrong be done, its will be far wider and more luting than rt a s ill 2rdv il te l d i projectors dream of.

The Polish members amount to 16. It is impossible to calculate positively the relative strength of the parties: but it may be &sly stated that the ultra democrats form about ose-half of the house, whilst the moderate democrats may be set down at 30 or 40.

THIINTERHINABLE BRITISH MUSEUM CATALOGUE. —Matters eon out about the British Museum Commisnion, in mho of the elleged endeavoun (which we, the AtAesserons, mast doubt) of the commiminers to conceal them.

SHIPWRECK.—News was brought to Lynn on Friday of the total loss of the schooner Hope, Clark, master, belonging to Shoreham, which foundered on the night of Thursday last, off the coast of Lincolnshire, with most of the hands on board. The Hope, it seems, was freighted for Leith, having on board, besides the master, a crew of six or seven hands, and a passenger, named Henry Needham, from Littlebampton, a confectioner.

Her unfortunate crew had not time even to jump aboard of the Lady Ann; the whole of the crew went down in the vessel, and, though every effort was made by those belonging to the Lady Ann, all of them, excepting one seaman, were drowned. The seaman saved himself by clinging to an oar floating away, as the vessel went front under hk feet ; he was picked up some time afterwards, very much exhausted. The Lady Ann brought to directly after the accident, chat to the spot where the vessel sank. She did not Natio without serious damage, her bowsprit, foremast, and bulwarks being stow in. The Hope sank in nine fathom water. Most of the crow were married men, sad have left fertilise.

The flames were dimovered by the policeman on the beat, at which time they were raging furiously ia the front warehouse. This part of the premi ses contained a great quantity of valuable furniture, and but few minutes elapsed ore the whole was on fire. Several engines shortly arrived, but in spite of the exertims of the firemen the vela. able stock in trade in the shop was destroyed, and the re mainder in the upper warehouse and show rooms injured by steam and smoke. The fire was caused by the overheating of a pipe stove in the shop. Messrs.

(From the Sundericad Herald.) The value of the living, according to Dr. Maltby, le 3,8281. • according to the Four.and-Twenty of Sunder land, it is 4,3'001.; end a writer in the Daily News—a journal which has earned golden opinions on all hands for its pains taking investigation into the revenues of the diocese gene rally, and its withering exposure of their gross mismanage. meat and malappropriadon--estimates it, in an article which we have transferred entire to another page, and which we beg of out readers the favour to peruse, at 4,695. The difference between the last-named se nsate and that of Sunderland vestry is more ap. parent than real, and arises, we apprehend, from the Daily New taking, as the latest annual return, the produce of the coal under the rector's manor last year, when it was 1,0001., whilst the Sunderland vestry, choosing to be within rather than above the mark, takes the return of the preceding year, when it was first worked, and which gives it at 7001. Assuming, however, the bishop's estimate to be the correct one, as founded on an average of years, let us apply the test of the aim' lest rules of arithmetic to his figures. Then, when 1,2001. is paid to the new rector out of 3,8281., the goodly sum of 2,6281. is left to bo " divided between his curates and the four incumbents." The latter are to have 1,6001. divided between them, which is preciPely 4001. a piece. This, again, leaves 1,0284 which divided of course between the two curates will be to them 6141. each ! How the curates of Bishop Wearmouth will marvel at their singular good luck, and rejoice that their lines have fallen in this pleasant and fertile nook of the Eng lish ecclesiastical land of Goshen ! How the worthy Mown bents of Hylton and Deptford will open wide their amazed eyes, and look unutterable things, and praise the good pro vidence that placed them under so bountiful and considerate a bishop ! And how each and all will be ready to take up and re echo the exclamation of the applauding ancients of Bishop Wearmouth: "Oh wise and upright judge! 0 noble judge ! A Daniel come to judgment !' In truth the whole thing appears so utterly incredible that we have strong misgivings as to the accuracy of the pub lished report of Lord John Rumell's statement. Nothing is more likely than that either 1,2001. to the rector is a misprint for 2,2001, or that the bishop has been unwittingly made to exaggerate the revenues of the rectory to 3,828/. instead of 2,8281 It is vain for Dr. Maltby to shelter himself under cover cd the Bishopweannouth veetry. The case cannot be permitted to rest where it is. Mr. Herman bu given notice of a motion for an address to the crown, and the merits of the qucition, as so admirably brought out in the Sunderland petition, and as they may otherwise be elicited before the house, era so convincingly strong that we do net see how the " People's House " can get over it without adopting mine such step. In the =centime, we earnestly appeal to the wealthy and right-minded inhabitants of Bishop Wearmouth, by all the hied sympathies and offices of friendship which link one neighbourhood with another, and by all the dutiful regards and charities inculcated by their common faith, to disclaim the odious responsibility of having stood between their poo rer brethren of Sunderland, Deptford, and Hylton, and im proved means of spiritual instruction. We are sorry, indeed, to see Mr. John Scott, our late excellent mayor, whose con siderate reason, and kind, courteous, conciliatory temper we have had frequent opportunity of witnessing, occupy the ' bad pre-eminence" into which the bishop has dragged him. But there is reason to suspect that he and hie friends were taken in the matter unawares, and we therefore hope that, on re viewing the whole circumstance' of tie cue, they will we the necessity of reversing the approval they gave to the new arrangements. Failing Mr. Horsman'e motion, however, and no proceed of a modified re-adjustment of the revenues in view, there la yet one other courro that the people of Sunderland can adopt. The can petition for the repeal quoad sacra of the act of 1719. If need be, we shall not fail to remind them of this, and hope to see the suggestion vigorously and success fully acted upon. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FEB. 17. The trial of Gavin Daffy was resumed yesterday morning. There was no crowd or excitement about the court, and ingress to the trial was very sparingly allowed. Nevertheless the court was filled nearly in every corner, and as the day was very hot, many were glad to oome out after having with much difff culty pot in. There was the most intense stillness as the trial went on, and the whole proceeding was more imposing than is asuaL One of the galleries was filled with some ladies, who were friends of the accused. Mr. Duffy hi mself was remarkably com posed, not exhibiting the least nervous excitement. But for his position in the dock, and his communi cating with kis council, no one could have supposed that he was so deeply interested in the issue of the trial. The crown examined several witnesses, amongst whom were the under-secretary, Mr. Redington, who deposed to fi nding certain papers in the trunk of Mr. Smith O'Brien ; Mr. Vernon, of the stamp office, and several of the witnesses who were examined in the Clonmel The crown put up two witnesses to prove the hand writing of Mr. Daffy in the articles set forth in the indictment. Upon the admissibility in evidence of the letter found in Mr. Smith O'Brien'. trunk, there was much argument, but the court decided that the letter was evidence to go to the jury. At six o'clock the court was adjourned till eleven this day. COMMISSION COURT—Famiy. TRIAL OF CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY.
