(Hier.) Er J. GRAHAM said that he would take the liberty for in somata of again alluding to the cmotitutional question ke great Importance of which bad been admitted by the Basle lord. He granted meet distinctly that it was very diktat is questions of this nature to preserve the har monious wending of two legislative assemblies. He agreed Nat collision we. to be avoided. But how was it to be avoided ? He believed that relianco on old constitutional sodas sad a strict adherence to them, would in the long tea be the beat way to avoid it. (Hear, hear.) He de fined to them that if it were held expedint with l enses to the peer-rate to abandon these maxims, to would infit.itely rather in the neat semi , a cf i nettensent, and at its commencement, coma to a resolution m indyint the waiver than multiply precedents of abandon ment. (Chine.) If they multiplied the precedents the How of Lords would avail itself of them, and would claim Ns right of dealing, not with poor rates only, but with all ihst local taxation which, &tending to the statement of the hes. member for Buckinghamshire (Mr. Dispels), the other night, alsnanted to 10,000,0001. or 12,000,0001. e Ily. The Lords would, in fact, claim a right of interference with all the other bramehes of local taxation. (Hear.) He was of opinion that it was fa safer to cme to a specific sur ruder of the poor rate than to multiply the precedents ; but he waa far from saying that he was to consent even to that surrender, (Hear, beer.)

Sir L. O'BRIEN looked upon the bill as consisting of two parts. In one respect it was a money bill, but it also ceetaingd a great ninny regulati.un for improving the workirg of the bill. The bill was not therefore, strictly rpcskiag. a mousy hill, and he thought the House of Lords had a fair right to amend it. He must, in that 'kW of it, vote against the amendment. Sir 11. BARRON' said that if the principle of the hon. member fur Montrose were to be carried out, that bona &add not, upon any measure of local taxation, go through tle mockery of rending it to the House of Leeds. Let that be the understood principle of the constitution if they were to act as that hon. member required. (Hsu, bar.) He should cote against the amendment. Sir J. WiLMSLEY thanked the right how. baronet, the member for Ripon, for the opinions he had expressed as this very important question. It had been stated that the two houses could Lot work harmoniously sakes the home of commons gave way amen this occasion. But they had obesity been favoured with strong reasons for not Riving way, and if they were obliged to do so he was satisfied that the opinion of the people out of doors would be this, that lithe two houses could not work kareacetiously, one of them mutt be refernial, and that one was the House of Lords. He trusted, however, that this house would never yiild one iota of it. privilege of keeping a just and a strict control over the taxation of the country. Sir J. YOUNG said it wu neutearito proceed cautiously, ea the Hume of Lords had, during the last half century, fre quently infringed upon the privilege of that house. He thought the amendments made by the Lords wen good, bat that was not the question—the question was, whether by yielding on this occasion they would endanger their prin. lege. Now, as the Howe of Lords were, in his opinion, such bettor qualified to deal with this question by their posi• !ion a large landed pr •prieton,aad as the line of dentate ition between local and general taxation was well defined, be saw no danger of the power that house exercised over the general taxation of the country, being infringed upon by yielding on this occasion to the upper house. Mr. HOUSMAN said the question wee not whether they ought now to give way, or ought always to give way to the House of Lords. But the question wee whether on this occasion the advantage to be Rained was wee* the price they paid for it. ( Hear, hear.) The prepaid el the amble lord and the speech with which be accompaMei it seemed to him the only thine wanting to complete the tell measure of ab surdity in their legislation on the bleb peer law. Five months ago they commenced their labours under the int prersion that the law was most defective, and required amendment. A committee was appointed, frequent debate', took place, and now when the measure was completed it appeared that it was not a material question in the seam . non of the government. His objection to what they were asked to do was this, that the principle, the policy, and the purpose of the bill had been taken from it by the Lords' amendments, end ttiat it was no sore like the original bill than the noble lord would be like a Prime Minister it he went into that house without his head and feet. (A laugh.) He concurred with the right hon. baronet that the present was an Ir:elision an wilds they ought to stud upon their privileges. Any man who looked to the questions which ware likely to arise, and that Web* cause a difference between the two homer, would at saes say that this was net a time when that hoses ought to give up any of their rights or privileges.

RUSSELL said that the bane having agreed to to into the armadosents en this bill, he had now to propose to them to ghee to the Laeds' amendatenu, omitting glasses I ar.cl 2. He did not intend, having in the previous part of the session h. quietly debated the question of a maximum, to st ate the reasons on which the proposed maximum yea tmode.l. file opinion was that a maximum proposed by law wopl.l he favourable to Intirradit hat them was great al tni m. on the enbjoet in the boom, the majority teeing at 0611 time f , r, and at another against., the proposal of the internment. When the hill went to the other house of per.

He had the letter of a a most detiniaisbed chemist, residing in flotch-creacent, B ed ford. aquae, .- 1 beg to acquaint you that a discovery has been made in Ireland whthis will materially enhance the value of landed property in that country. It asthma in the aptitude of its millions of prat acres to produce at trilling menet 'little more than that of manual labour) oil napths, napthaline, piratic, mutate of ammonia, viecomar, pit. that, candles, pitch, tar, sad other principles, by a new process of dithWatima. Thee 'meal materials were submitted to me some mouths age by Mr. Owen, and from what I have seen an I testi d, I have no hesitation In pronouncing it one of the greatest discoveries of the age, tad cos which will become a source of unbounded wealth. I eon easily let you have a list of the several products derivable from the &vitiation ; and you nave my permission to give this 0.0 t in,. portent matter whatever publicity a l i ol irW pknee. Some of the products have been mean by, I believe, the s et Lere-downe and o th ers here, and I know the Irish court are eady eegnissat of the dis eovery.—Joas Warms, Y.D. It amazed by the testimony of Mr. Hodges, profaner of chemistry I n Belfast, and of an eminent chemist in Paris, who was also consulted, that Irish peat was capable of pro ducing oil of a superior quality—ail equal to that of the sper m •cetl, which was now used in manufactures to such se extent, and which. at present cost from 901. to 9.52. a ton. The manufacturers throughout England would hail it as • boon, that henceforth they could have oil of es great purity as that of spermaceti for • sum of 40/. per ton, teemed o Mi. He staked his honour that there was no foreign mate rial in the candle. We owed this to • man who was wholly unknown to the nation ; and with regard to his character, he knew be should have the seedy assurance of the noble lord the member of Bath, who had been acquainted with him for some time. Perhaps the noble lord would state what he knew with regard to the extent of the invention. Lrd ASHLEY bore his testimony to the character and 'Pretensions of the person alluded to. An appeal having been made to him he was unwilling that the name of the gentle man should be mentioned in the homes without bearing his testimony that a more discreet, ether, generous, and reli gious man, it had never been his good artune to meet. This gentleman had property anti • great business; he had foie/A his friendship for three years, and a pets in more capable of carrying on en operation of this kind he had never known. He had re quested Mr. Owen to call on him this morning, that he might take down in writing what he had frequently heard from his lips in the coarse of conversation, and he would give the house the result of this gentleman's statement. No doubt it might appear almost incredible, but let him press upon the house that it was not a matter of theory, it was the result of experiment. These things had been in operation mere than 12 months Lthe gentleman had invested considerable capital and received considerable returns; and the great value of this was that he asked nothing of the country—ell that he did was to show that there was a profitable 'nye. tment of money, and to invite espital for the cultivasion of the soil and the employment of the people. This gentleman said that with 100 tons of peat the labour of converting it would east about 81. These 100 tone of peat contained Carbonate of Ammonia, 26021135, vale/ £32 10 0 Soda, 21181 be r ,32 10 0 Vinegar, MO gallons. IP 7 10 0 Naphtha, 30 gallows,. " 7 10 0 Candles, 00010. That was to say, they contained of tie substance which was equal and superior to epermaceti for every 100 tone— camphine oil, 700ge ; common oil, 800 gals. ; gas of the value of 81. ; ashes, 11. 13e. 4d.—and th, more, upon even 100 tons of rat, urn which 201. had been expeneed in labour, the total reeeipts were 911 18s. Bd. That was what he held forth as the result of his operations. When the peat was cleared away, the mil beneath was exceedingly fertile, beyond all description, become it was saturated with ammo nia. Therefore, net only would the country be benefited by this process, but the soil Itself would be broneht into culti vation. If one half of what he stated was true, everybody would allow that something very great was about to be un dertaken ; and, if the house bore in mind that this was the result of experiment, they would see that 100.000 acres of Irish peat were far better than the whole region of California. Sir D. NORRETS thought thee the bill, as the noble lord wished them to receive it, contained scarcely one principle worth having. Mr. P. SCROPE said that if the statement turned out to be true, he should regret that the proposition for taking pos eerie& of the waste lands of Ireland was not carried Into effort, for they might have discovered means at once to have paid off the natio.tal debt. Ile must protest against the session being allowed to close without the adoption of any 11110•111/01 of an ameliorative character for the west ef Ireland. Col. DUNNE was much disappointed that government should have abandoned the maximum clause eta it had re ceived the support of nearly all the Irish members. Mr. GRATTAN said thatthe poor I or was now generslly admitted to have been a failure. Many remedies were pro posed for the state of Ireland. One man proposed improved cultivation: but what encouragement was there for the culti vation of the land while the landlords were absentees, and the tenants could get nothing hut ruinous prices for their purchase 2 He believed, and English gentlemen would soon tied out, that the only remedy for the evils of Ireland was a domestic legislature. As to emigration much as it was ad mired, it was a preposterous proposition. Any statesman worthy of the name would laugh at the idea that the best way to reeve ace untry was to export its labouring popula tion. His opinion of the maximum clause was, that tiara was no sincerity in it, and the noble lord had set its proper value on it by permitting its rejection. Mr. FRENCH felt bound to thank the Lords for the amendments they had made in the bill. They had acted in accordance with the wishes of the Irish members, and the interest' of the people. The Lords amendments up to clause 10 were trend to. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the Lords' amendment, omitting Clause 10, be agreed to. The house having ac ceded to the omission of the maximum clause, the retention • of this clause would, in his opinion, be inconsistent. Sir H. W. BARRON opposed the omission of the clause. Mr. SADLEIR hoped the hon. baronet would not divide against the noble lord s motion. The notion was then agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL moved to agree to the Lords' amend ments, omitting clause 10, and to insert clause 10 of Lords' bill, omitting the word " resident." Mr. STAFFORD moved the ommision of the clans. al together. Mr. SADLEIR said that the officer wanted in Ireland was a man to supervise the workhouses. Mr. AGLIONBY wished to know what the opinions of the Irish members were t (A laugh.) He thought that amidst the variety of opinions expressed by the Irish mem bers, the best plan to pursue was to reject the clause. Some conversation ensued, and the home divided— For the clams Against it The clause was therefore agreed to. Sir G. GREY moved that clauses 18, 17, 18, and 19, omitted by the Lords, be re-inserted in the bill, After • dimension the house divided, when there ap , For the motion Bl Against it 22-59 The Lords' amendment, inserting clause 18 of Lords' bill; the Lords' amendment, inserting clause 19 of Lords' bill, with an amenliment, omitting all the words after " Rate book" in line 29, page 13, were agreed to. The Lords' amendments inserting clauses 20, 21,23 (with an amendment substituting the word', " one thy" for " two days"), 24, 25, of the Lords' bill were agreed to. The Lends' amendment, inserting clause 22, was rejected. Upon the motion to disagree to the Lords' amendment in serting Clause 27 of Lords' Bill, the effect of which was to enable persons who had lent money for emigration purposes to • union to set off their debt against the rate due from these, Mr. AOLIONRY and several other members supported the Lords' amendment. The amendment, however, was rejected. The Lords' amendment inserting Clause 29 of Lord.' Bill was agreed to. Oa the motion to agree to so mach of the Lords' amend meet inserting Clause 30 of Lord•' Bill as is contained to the proviso commencing line 10 of page 18, and ending line 31 of the same page, and to disagree to the rest of the clause, The house divided.

The Lords' Amendment, inserting clause 33, was then agreed to, and the house adjourned at 11 o'clock. DISASTROUS BALLOON ASCENT AT CARAT.— Com:melee Inuonor.—Cardiff, Thunday.—By Mr. Uphill, at Kewstoek, in Somerset, en Tuesda , on the body of a man supposed to be that of Mr. IZi Green, the aeronaut, who lost his life in attempting to croft the Bristol Channel, in a balloon, from this town. The body war washed sabot° on the previous Friday at Band Bay, about fotir miles from Weston Bum Mare, and its appearance indicated t h at i t had been is the water nine or ten days ; decompo sition in -fact was so great, that identity by the features was impossible. The body had on neither coat, necker chief, or shoes. Mr. Gill, the churchwarden, it appeared, saw on the eunieg of the 9th instant a balloon coming across the Channel, and after watching It some time, raw It, as he supposed, making a rapid descent. Imagining that it would fall on the declivity of the other side of the sand-bill, about three-quarters of a mile from his house, he called a couple of lads to run with him in order to render any &mildews she aeronauts might require. Before they leached the summit of the hill the balloon again rose about a mile and a quarter seaward, end soon obtained a considerable altitude, traveling in the dire*. Lion of Clevedon. Mr. Gill further obser ved , that such is the set of tide running down the Cleassel between where he imagines the halloos dipped and Bud-hill, that the best swimmer in the world mild not have reached the shore along the beach. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowsed." Vtt rt 00• THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1849. conquest." Such it is and such it must ever continue to be regarded by all who remember that the church of England was imposed upon their country, against its will, by form of arms, and that it is to this day sustained only by force of law. It is not the church of the nation, nor of half the nation, nor of a fourth of the nation—it be probably rot the church of one-tenth of the nation. It is em phatically the church of the oligarchy, by whose in strumentality and for whose benefit everything, whe ther temporal or ecclesiastical, has unfortunately been governed in Ireland, and amongst whose extortions none can bear comparison with this either in character or in degree. Of the tenets and the liturgy of the Anglican church we can never be mirunderstood as speaking with any other feelings than those of the most profound respect. Of the learning, piety, and worth of the vast majority of its clergy we ate equity incapable of saying one disparaging or incredulous word. But no individual excellence en atone for the sins of a system which his been founded on violence, and is maintained in violation of every acknowledged principle of right and justice. Upon no con ceivable theory of national endowments can the existence of a mere garrison establishment be de fended. It is felt by the great bulk of the commu nity to be a permanent trophy of their humiliation ; and while it remains we fully concur with the Irish representatives, who declare that neither permanent peace or prosperity can be reasonably looked for. But we own that we regard the document to which we have thus sought to direct attention in another and perhaps still more important aspect. It may be fitly deemed an appeal to the justice of the empire by the elective guardians of a long oppressed and injured community. It emanates, we believe, from men who are ready and willing to co-operate with those who in this country desire in politics only to do as they would be done by, and who seek the reformation of much that is evil to the condition of their own land and people. Disunion among the popular party has for many years conks sadly been its bane. Reformers of every race and realm need each other's aid and help against the powers that are everywhere arrayed spinet them. The interest, the true and abiding in terest of the people, is everywhere the same ; and no solid advantage can be gained for freedom in one place that does not tend naturally and inevitably to a like advantage being secured elsewhere. On selfish as well as generous grounds it is the policy of the friends of progress to invite alliance and to cement it with kindred spirits all over the world. how much more is it a dw y to do so within the precincts of the same constitutional realm to which men as fellow citizens belong? This sentiment, we have reason to believe, has for some time animated no inconsiderable number of the best men among the English and Irish sections of the liberal party in the Rouse of Commons; and we rejoice in being enabled to state, upon no vague or doubtful authority, that efforts which have recently been made to bring about a more cordial understand ing, and to foster the desire of mutual support on questions of common interest and importance. are at length likely to .be attended with success. Upon topics of a minor or local character diversities may and will of necessity arise; but on the great funda mental principles of progress there can be no real difference between Celt and Saxon. If ever there was a country that has had ample experience of the evils of an aristocratic policy in church and state, that country is Ireland. Her people are only too anxious to see their way by any means out of the sectarian and monopolising grasp that has for generations held them down. The recognition of full political franchise% is their daily lope and aspiration as well as ours, and it; in addition, they demand also the establish ment of religions equality, so far from grudging them that additional guerdon, we cheerfully and cordially offer them our aid in achieving it. In this light, therefore, we point to the declaration of the Irish liberal members of parliament on the chnrch question as an omen of better days. Faults there has been on both sides; let them be alike I'm given and forgotten. Neither English or Irish are too straw to despise reciprocal aid. Let them freely ' and fairly and faithfully unite their strength, and they will soon prevail. IT is pretty evident Vint not only Transylvania, bat the Banat, are cleared of both Russian and Croa tian invaders, and that the gallant BEM has defeated the three corps by which he and the south and east of the land were menaced. BEM had from fifty to sixty thousand men under his command, and he seems to have concentrated them successively on the three different divisions of the enemy, and to have defeated them. His first victim was Ltmens, who with some 30,000 crossed the passes and occupied Kronstadt. BEM allowed him to do so, concentrating his force at Hermanstadt; and it was when LUDERS advanced to the latter town, separated by a mountain range from Kronstadt, that Beat fell upon him, put him to the route, and com pletely cut up his army. His next achievement was to crush the Ban JEL LACHICH. This general, at the head of the Croatians and of the rallied army of PrcnsEn, was in Syrmis, laying siege to Peterwardein. Hie first threat was that he would march north to Segedin, which Kosst..rn had made his temporary capital. And the Ban even published a despatch, in which he states himself to have advanced to Theresianopel. This, however, was but on paper. His next Taunt was that he would pass both Danube and Theiss to relieve Arad and Temes war. He did advance to the Theis. at 0 Beees, but was beaten back. Since then, he has taken courage, and hearing that KossuTH was in retreat to the Theiss, the Ban passed the Danube, aad marched north towards Segedin. He had, however, not long crossed the Francis Canal, and had but reached Hegeyes, when the Hungarians took him in flank. He was beaten, all accounts ad mit, and to have been beaten in such an advanced position, implies the utter annihilation of his army. It is difficult to believe that either BEM or BEM's army could have crossed the whole breadth of the Banat from Hermanstadt to the Theirs, and one would have been inclined to suppose that it was the army Or PERCZEL, now under the command of Oen. VErrEit, that defeated the Ban. But the accounts are positive in naming BEM, and attributing the vic tory to him. On Tuesday last we told the tale of this double victory, though without the particulars, that have since become known, and we &tided— Should Bens torn northwards with the force under his command he cannot but give a good amount of the Russian corps which penetrated by Bistntz. The eonjee tnre here ventured is found t 3 be ful filled in the following bulletins that appear in the Cologne Gazette : BIBTRITZ, J wiz 26. We have taken Bistritz to-day. No defence was made. Tke enemy retreated. I will pursue them to-morrow. Batt. BISTRITZ, JUNE 29. I have beaten the Russians. My outposts are at Rseken dart. My maiden army fought seven hours with the Russian horse and drove them back. Postscript.—My troops have entered Vallendorf. BEM. BISTRITZ, JULY 2. I have for the fourth time advanced to Bistritz by way of Gros Us and Verminly. I bold the enemy in the deifies of B )rgo, without having bad °canon to claim the assistance of our troops at Harlaburg. BEM. And letters from Constantinople add that the Rus sian corps has been beaten back into Moldavia. We wish we could say that matters in North Hun gary were equally satisfactory. But the fact is, that the unmolested advance of PASICEWITSCH from Galli cis through the passes to Debreczin and to Perth had nearly cut the Hungarians in two, and have forced GORGES' to abandon his line of defence on the Wasg and round Comorn. Every one asks what hes become of DEMBINSKI, and what of his army. Had he fallen back, even with inconsiderable force towards GORGEY, he might have checked the advance of Gen. Onsung. With this advance of GRABBE'S, by Kremnitz and Neasohl, with PAsxzwrracri's occupation of Pesth, and the Austrians' much to Ofen, it is a miracle that GOR GEY'S retreat to the east of the Theiss was not cut off. The Russians, however, stern to have been merely eager to grasp Peath, and to indite therefrom a bulletin. . . While they were thus employed, GORGEY had punished the Austrians a third time at Ace, causing them a lose, which has so annoyed the emperor, that both the generals, HATNAII and WOHLGEXUTII, are said to have been dismissed. Leaving a large garrison in Comoro, GORGET marched on Waitzen, met there the Russian rearguard, drove it in, and eon timed his route. The next day, the Russians hastened back from Pesth, and came up with Germ Ev's rear guard, with which there was some embargo of hostditiee. Oat of this the Russians and Austrians have made a bulletin. They had a great deal better have remained awake, and disputed the passege to Goanav's 40,000 men. For that is all that they allow him. It remains to be seen whether GORGET will operate in the mountains, or whether the whole Hungarian army will be concentrated in that space which Him hu cleared, and where it is now impossible to take them in the rear. TLe dismissal of their two generals by the Aus trians is significant enough. Tee Ban JELLACHICH was not even so efficient. So that the war will rest exclusively on the shoulders of PAuKEWITSCIL It is needless to say with what intense interest its progress will be watched. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.—It was generally expected that the King of Bavaria would protest against the conditions of the armistice and treaty con cluded between Prussia and Denmark, and it was even asserted that the government of Bavaria had combined with the cabinet of Hanover to induce the Reichsver wiser to disarm Prussia. The Weser Zei€ung, how. ever, in an article dated &vie, July 20, says that the Bavarian government, through its ambassador at the court of Berlin, Count Lerenenfeld, gave its assent beforehand to the basis upon which the armistice is concluded, and is consequt rally bound to it ; that regret is to be expressed at Munich respecting the conditions of the armistice; butthat the assent already given will be referred to as precluding the possibility of an independent line of action. Accounts from Schleswig state that the following persons were proposed to form the provisional armis ti.e government of Schleswig :—For Prussia: Adolph Von Moltke (member of the late general go vernment); for Denmark, B ton Karl Plessin; and fur Englaud, Baron Von Felkenberg. The former has positively declined, and the second intends doing so, and in place of the latter, Mr. Howard, secretary of the British Ambassador at the court of Prussia, who is thoroughly acquainted with the Schleswig- Holstein question, will, it is considered probable, be appointed English commissioner in Schleswig.

THE numerous instances which have lately occurred of liberal and popular parties struggling against an overwhelming force, rejecting all terms of accommo dation, and resolutely preferring to perish altogether rather than compromise their rights, is a very re markable feature of the time. Old parties, and governments, and statesmen, however absolutist, have shown themselves most ready to bow before an adverse storm, to accept any terms, even universal suffrage, when there was a necessity fur yielding. But popular parties seem to acknowledge principle alone, and are mad enough to ignore exped:ency altogether. Thus, the Sicilians persisted in defying Naples, and preferred being crushed so obtening but hslf the conditions they demanded. The same may be said of the Romans, the Sardinians. And last of all, it is the csse with the people of Schleswig. We sincerely regret that this gallant and enthu siastic people cannot be brought to accept the condi tions offered to them. These are certainly not what the Schleswigers deserved, or what the King of PRUSSIA promised them. The prospect of being separated from their brothers of Holstein, with a knowledge that the union of the Duchies made their force, and the necessity of accepting whatever con stitution the king of DENMARK may think fit in his hatred to octroy them, is neither flattering nor con soling. But the Schleswigers 'should feel that their cause is identical with that of German unity, inde pendence, and freedom, and that if the great German nation unable to secure and defend these, how can the Schleswigers hope to defend their asserted rights? The King of PRUSSIA himself bows to cir cumstances, and dissnwrestbs his head from the impe rial crown that already bound it. The Germans adjourn their great national desire, rather than wade to it through commotion. TheSchleiwigers should adopt the prudence shown by parties greater and higher than themselves, and submit. . . On the other band, the negotiators in this business have made a sad bungle of it. If the terms of peace were to be unpalateable to the people of Schleswig, some feeling, at least, of decency and justice ought to have been consulted in the arrangement of the armistice. Yet some of the conditions of that armis tice are of so preposterous a kind as of themselves to provoke opposition. Take, for instance, the prok ct of governing Schleswig during the interval between this and the final treaty by a Danish, a Prussian, and an English commissary. A country has b'e n in inser rec.ion for its nationality, and you subject it to the rule of strangers ignorant of the country and of its language. Conceive Col. HODGES or Mr. HOWARD going to Schleswig to govern it as commissioeer ; it would be like sending Csunt Svafiros and the Abbe GIOBERTI to form the provisional government of Ireland. The result of such a commis•ion entering upon the functions of goversment would be that every employe, from the head clerk to the under-constable, would throw up . his office in disgust, and every in habitant would join in a system of at least passive resistance. One objection to the English commissioner is, first of all hie incompetence, and then the neces sity, if his authority be impugned, of supporting it either by an English force or by the troops of some other country. Of all tasks, the last that an English functionary should undertake in any foreign country is that of coercion. And so strongly is this felt at Stockholm that his Swedish Majcaty has, we under stand, refused to furnish the neutral corps for garrisoning the north of Schleswig, demanded of him according to the tenor of the treaty. The Times would set about the redaction of Schleswig by the sabre. The writer in the Times is as much a Cossack, as his comrade of the Chronicle is a Croat. Let Mr. COBDEN insinuate that the Emperor of RUSSIA is not quite CRtESUS, and the member for the caret Riding is straight condemted to the knout of the Acglo-Rus sian press. Let it be hinted that Sardinia durst demur to the terms that Atlanta dictates, and let it be added that France considers such conduct on the part of Austria as overweening, then starts np the Croat-Colloredo organ to pelt and threaten all the world, as if it was Hungsrian, with its leaden ana themas._ - - The Times would make short work with the Schles wigers. It would disband the army and dissolve the government of the Duchies; and it imagines that warrant for this is found in the treaty. Tte fact is the contrary • the Schleswig-Holstein army is not to be disbanded. It is merely bidden to retire into Holstein, and we trust it will obey. The Stadt Haltershaft is equally to be maintained in Hol stein. And we believe the King of Prussia incapable of perpetrating the infamy, so vehemently recommended by the Times—that is, of imitating the conduct of England with regard to the regency of Oporto, and after first interfering for and abetting the liberal party, to betray and hand it over to its sworn foes. The king of PRUSSIA cannot imitate a policy that was so disgraceful to the British name, and which has contributed more than anything else to destroy all the influence of England and respect for it in the peninsula. We may care little what Portuguese or Spaniards think of us, but the King of PRUSSIA cannot afford to be stigmatised throughout Germany as the abettor of the Schles wigers in 1848, and their betrayer in 1849. It is, however, on the assumption that he will play this disgraceful part, that his Majesty receives by antici pation the praises of the Times. After all, we do not think that had the three powers taken council together as to the best mode of rendering Schleswig definitively German, they could have adopted any better or surer method than the one they have adopted. And if they want to ren der that consummation still more sure, they have but to adopt the recommendation of the Times, employ violence, dissolve native corps and councils, support I the English commissioner in his rule by a Cossack body-guard, proscribe all those who held functions during the late war, and in a word, treat the Schles wigers, and their representatives and rulers, as the Portuguese and the Junta of Oporto were treated. Why not at the same time make Lord RODEN Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, give him an Orange body-guard in lieu of a council, and let the principle of govern- ' in Ireland be the same as is recommended in Rome, in Path, and in Schleswig—viz., " crush and slay?" Lv another column will be found a document, the publication of which we hail with nnmingled plea sure. Its form is that of a declaration addressed to the people of England on behalf of the great body of their Irish brethren on the church question. It bean the signature of eighteen representatives of counties, and of fourteen representatives of cities and boroughs—Dublin, Limerick, Galway, and Cork being amongst the number ; and its purport is to give a prompt and peremptory de nial to the unfounded allegation put forward by certain parties in parliament as well as through their organs in the press—that the mass of the in habitants of Ireland have in any measure ceased to regard the exorbitant and exclusive endowment of tke Anglican church in that kingdom as an insult, a fraud, and a wrong. We rejoice to find such a number of the Irish re preventatives thus practically and wisely acting to gether in vindication of the sentiments and in terests of their country. Our wonder has often been excited at the prolonged trance to which this vital question of sectarian ascendancy seemed to be oonsigned. Of the unchanged and unchangeable feel ings of nine-tenths of the people we bad never any d ,übt.

DECLARATION OF IRISH REPRESENTA TIVES ON THE CHURCH QUESTION. TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN. It having been recently stated in parliament and in the press that the Icople of Ireland had ceased to take any interest in the settlement of the Irish church question, we feel bound to declare our conviction that the Irish people have not ceased to regard, as they never can cease to feel, the continuance of the esta blished church in Ireland, on its present footing, to be a symbol of conquest, a perpetration of religious inequality, and a most potent cause of the social de pression of the great body of the people of that king dom. We also desire to add our belief that so long as sectarian ascendancy is maintained in Ireland, per manent tranquility cannot be expected to prevail, nor can we hope for a cessation of those religious feuds which alike obstruct the prosperity of that country, and the establishment of its political relations on a sound and just foundation.

At the last Court of Aldermen, Alderman and Sheriff Finnis presented a petition from the importers of foreign cattle and sheep and wharfingen of the City of London. The petition stated that by en act passed in the 21st year of George 111. to prevent the mischiefs that had arisen from driving cattle within the cities of London and Westminster and liberties thereof, the mayor and aldermen stall have full power to make rules for regulating persons who drive cattle, 41:c., and to alter and amend them ; that the court did accordingly, on the 24th of September, 1839, make such rules, whereby it was ordered that no person shall drive, or permit to be driven, any cattle, die., into any street or place within one mile of Smithfield market on any Sunday before 11 at night, under a penalty of Qs. ; that since the date of the making of such rules the legisla ture had passed a law permitting the importation of fo reign cattle and sheep into this country, which the peti tioners were largely moaned in importing; that the vessels so employed discharged their cargoes at St. Katherine's Dock-whari,Brewer's and Chester quays,and London-bridge wharf, and it very frequently happened that, from the state of the wind and tide, and other causes, they did not arrive at their destination until Sunday morning; and, to facilitate the lauding of the eattle, the officers of Customs were always in attendance on Sundays for the purpose of Inspecting and passing them. That it was indispensably necessary that the cattle should be landed immediately on their arrival, and, on being landed, be driven to a place where food and water I I could be VOll to them. That the wharfs and quays could not afford the accommodation required. That the peti tioners had taken places in Smithfield for the express pur pose of there supplying the cattle, &c., so imported with food and water ; but, by the existing ruler of the court, it was an offence to drive cattle through the streets before 11 o'clock on Sunday night, and that the cattle must therefore be kept on board until atter 11 o'clock at night on Sunday ; and from the crowded state of the vessel, it was imp Bible to give them the necessary food and water, whereby they suffered much pain and misery, and were greatly deteriorated and re duced in value to the petitioners, and the wharangers sus tained much inconvenience and annoyance by the cattle not being immediately landed and driven from their premises. The petition concluded with the prayer that the court would so alter and amend the rules as to the driving of cattle as the altered state of the law and the ezigenees of the case might . require. Aldermen SMITHERY, Sir P. LACRIE, WILSON, &e., opposed the motion for refertnig the petition to a com mittee, and it was supported by Aldermen Lawansica and Frmas. The LORD MAYOR said the petitioners had waited upon him on the subject, and stated some things which did not exactly correspond with the apparent object of the petition. He suggested that they should make some change In it, in order to enable a committee to undertake an investigation. Alderman FDINIS then withdrew the petition, but with the understanding that at the next court another application should be made upon t's subject. ARCH&OLOGICAL INSTITUTE. SALISBURY, FHID \lf . At the sectional meeting last evening, the Dealt of HEREFORD took the chair, and stated that the bulling to come Ward them would be confined to early and mediseval antiquities. Liam, Ywre.o, Eq., delivered a lecture on the instruments called " mils," whicn are found in such abundance, those discovered in the earlier barrows being formed of stone, and the later spetimens of bronze andilron. Mr. Yates' theory was that these instruments were identical with the " dolt brte," and be cited passages from Lies, Gelatin Curtin, and Tonkin, to show that from the time of Alexander the Great they hal been used in war as chisels, mounted on the end of long staves, to pick down the walls of fortified places. Mr. Yates, however, admitted that some descriptions of Celt were used for various domestic wee, as a spud, or small 'pack, &e. In support of his opinion, he exhibited two drawings from the Assyrian marbles lately discovered by Dr. Layard, in which soldier* were represented using a similar weapon in destroying the walls of a besieged city. Ho also stated that similes uses were made of the cell to this day in some pests of Iceland. Dr. Jogs' and Mr. J. M. Kamm.* strongly combated the opinion of the lecturer, en the ground that the size of the oslt wholly unfitted it for such a purpose. The latter gentle man also relined to his researches in Scandinavia, which confirmed him in his opinion teat although some use might be occasiocally mad. of the cell in war, it was applied to • variety of domestic uses, as a chisel, a gardening tool, &e., lying apparently almost the only implement in use among the early Celtic tribe s. Used as a small axe, the cell mighs be a formidable weapon; but the small depth to which it could be stilt d to a stick rendered it too weak for picking dawn stone walls or even mounds of earth. The Deem of HERBFORD also defraud from Mr. Yates, and contended that the three ages shown by the contents of the barrows on the downs—the first containing weapons of stone, the second of brats, and the third of iron— proved that the Britons did nut know how to work the iron in their soil until the Romans came amongst them and taught them to do so. no thought the dolabro: of the ancients were pro babiy a sort of adcr, or more probably the pick-are. Mr. YATES, in reply, undertook to show that the adze was a very different implement, and bore a distinct name among the ancients. This mousing the sectional meetings were resumed at the council chamber, the lectures being of the histo: ical class. EDWIN Gutsy, Esq., delivered a I..cture an the early British settlements in South Britain, in which he entered at great length into the progressive extermination of the native British by their Saxon invader", and veriti,d many impor tant state meats of the Saxon chrou;ciss. He also identified the town of Ames';usy, near this c:ty, as one of the three great Christian chcirs to Britain, under Aurelia' Ambrosi .us, awl showed that the reference made to that locality, in the most ancient Weish records, was nu t t o th e heathen motm- meat of Stou.henge, but to the great Christian monastery at Amesbury. lie abo showed, by collateral evidence, that the Britons maintained their ground at Old Sarum fur 2) or 30 years, after all the neighbouring country was conquared by the Saxons. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. J. M. KammAgaVe a very long,:and interesting lecture on the origin of the con stitutions ut Clarendon and the lite of Thomas a Becket. The connexion of this great event with the proceedings on the continent, when the Pope endeavoured to reduce the Gape-. ror of Germany to :be position of his vassal, was crawly traced. At the conclusion cf this lecture, the members proc , eds‘d to Wilton House, to inspect the valuable Pembroke collec tion of ancient worts of art, not 1:r the critical guidance of C. Newton, E•ci., of the British Museum. A splendid dveunet was provided at that princely man sion, by the Right HA. Sidney Herbert, for their entertain ment.
