FEB. 2E Iv the debate on Mr. Du Cass's motion goes on mach longer, the public will naturally inquire with some impatience what is the precise object to be gained by such a serious interruption of public trasioe.s. The supporters of the motion did tittle last night toward. furnishing any satisfactory reply to this question. Mr. HUBBARD indeed, who com menced the discussion, went over a number of points connected with the Budget, treating them in the minute and detailed manner which special knowledge suggest., and which always imparts a certain air of r es p ec t a bility to a panda address. But the greater part of his speech had really nothiog whatever to do with the motion before the Mani.. That motion is a motion of principle, if it is anything, involving a consideration of the leading feature* of the financial statement, and of the whole pdicy it represents. But the greater put of Mr. HUBBARD's speech was a eritielion of details that would have been appropri.te enough in committee, but was wholly out of piece in discussing the general questions raised by the Member for North Essex. He examined, for example, at great length, and with almost tedious minuteness, Mr. Guerress's proposals with regard to Contract S tamps and Dock Warrants, pointing at the inconvenience, injustice, and delay they would probably °cession. But all this was to a great extent labour thrown away ; fur, as toe speaker candidly con fined, he reet!.y did not know how the general proposals on theme beads would be practically applied to the details of commercial life. This would of course bt expounded in committee, and it was premature to raise such a discussion on merely hypothetical points. Mr. HOnaIALL, indeed, stated that the explanations on this subject which the CDANCRLLOR of the EXCRIQUER had given to a deputation of wielders were, so far as they went, satisfactory, and tended to remove the objections which bad prey Musty been felt to his proposals. As to the general ohjrctio to um income tax, on which Mr. HtlinsieD insisted, and which els the fashion of gentlemen oh hlm 'id., of the House to bring promi nently torwara just now, they are not only known but notorious. To soy that the incidence of this tax is in many cues unjust, and that the people don't like to have it increased, is the Men drivel of po..tical common-place. Of course this is all true enough. But unless the Con servative party are prepared to effect large reduc tions in the . xper.ditute of the country, their con demnation of the tax is not only unmeaning and irrelevant, bat altogether insincere. If they were in power to-morrow they would at once avail them selves of this convenient source of revenue, as every Government has done for nearly twenty years past. Mr. Huse:mitt arguments against the Treaty, on the ground that it i. not likely to bring about any great increase of trade between this country and France, Were amply answered by Mr. Amines, who showed conclusively by a review of our exports during the last eighteen years--what has been proved over and Over again —that the ►emoval of restrictions has always been followed by a large inerea•e of our trade Ind cumin, roe. Since the abolition of the Coca Laws, foe ex .mpie, our annual exports have risen from fiftj m e millions to the enormous amount of a hundred and thirty millions. This increase of trade has of cour-e he, n felt throughout the country, not only in oar et titre. of manufacturing industry, but 'specialty in the sv:cultural districts, producing better wages (or the lob tura, larger profits for the farmer, and higher rents for the landowner. Mr. BRIGHT, in the first part of hi. masterly speech, brought out the s.eue fact in a very striking and effective way. He contrasted the con. deice of the nation in general, and of the agricridut eta .0 particular, now, w ith their eeeditine fourteen years ago on the eve of the repeal of the Corn Laws. Then distress prevailed in mr 23/PRENB, almost every district; the flamers, reduced almost le despair, sent petitions eldif lepatatione de -the Moose praying relief; committees were formed to *air. into the burdens on agriculture, and gloomy prophets predicted speedy and hopeless ruin. Now pa complaint is ever heard ; all connected with the ownership or cultivation of the soil being far better off than ever before. Mr. BII.IGWIt premed home this feet on the opposition landowner. in • forcible, earnest, and straightforward manner that was irresistible. " Why will you not understand this fact ?" said the Member for Birmingham, appealing to the country gentlemen. " You do understood it. Large land " owners and agriculturists in the South and " West, where the repeal of the Cora Laws was " most feared, have told me " (said Mr. Balowr) " that so party in this country had ever rendered . 4 a greater service to agriculture them was effected "by the abolition of protection. Is it not true," Mr. BIIONT added, addressing the great land owners, " that you are far better MI now than you " ever wise before, not only in mere wealth, in the " possession of larger income', but in the coescions " ages that the condition of every class in " the .sentry Lae improved, and in the greater "security thus imparted to all the elements of " your prosperity ?" The Member for Birmingham, in fact, destroyed in • tew plain, brief sentences the cumbrous protectionist arguments that have been revived against the Treaty. Taking the Protectionists on their own ground, and replying to the oft-repeated objection that it is one-sided, he clearly showed that concession for concession the French give up far more by the Treaty than we do. The only duties we reduce that are worth speaking of in rela tion to are those on wine, brandy, and silks while on the other hand the articles on which the duty is reduced by the French Government are numerous and important. What are these articles P There are such large items as metals of all descrip tions, machinery, cotton, linen and woollen goods, hardware and earthen ware, which together constitute the large sum of 95,000,0001. of our yearly en ports. The duty on all these article. Is redacted to a point which renders the Freak tariff es liberal to our exports ae that of the United States. Now our exports to the United State, are 10 millions annually. When the duty is reduced, as the Treaty proposes, to a prise that will admit of our exports entering Fiume as they do America, what is to prevent • similar trade springing up between the two countries? The political objectiou to the free export of coal provided by the Treaty, Mr- BRIGHT justly stigmatised as trivial in the extreme. France not only has extensive coal beds of her own, but can obtain coal in abundance tram other coun tries ; and to imagine that by stopping the supply of Britishecal we should materially cripple her resources in war, is absurd. At most our refusal would may involve a rather larger outlay in the carriage et coal to the French dockyards and arsenals. Bat the most amusing part of Mr. BRIGHT'S reply to the opposition objections to the Treaty was his claiming their leader, Mr. Dlaltaat.'l, as its friend and supporter. The Member for Birmingham quoted a passage from the right hon. gentleman's most famous political novel, in which he laments that the Commercial Treaty, long talked of between France and England, which would enable us to ex change our earthenware for their light wines, had not been negotiated. The special evils arising from the absence of such a Treaty were illustrated by th e fact, that with all the superiority of the French is the art of cookery, their dinners are a failure, be cause the plates are never hot, French earthen ware not being able to bear the necessary exposure to the fire. Tuis exquisitely pertinent passage we. of course thoroughly relished by the House, the illustration coming home to the daily experience of its members in • very direct and feeling way. Nor was Mr. Baionr's defence of the proposed delay is carrying out the stipulations of the Treaty on the part of the French Government less happy. It combined the real and sufficient grounds of this delay with a powerful allusive argument ad Asnainini. Such great changes must be gradually effected in • country unused to them, and where large classes still oppose them. It was so in this country on the repeal of the Corn Laws. Sir H. PEEL did not venture on his great reform all at once ; and for years after the measure was carried he reminded the House that the present Tedder of the Opposition within Parliament, and a certain Mr. ellowLat out of doors, continued to utter loud complaints and menaces. The House tho roughly appreciated the reference to the French CHowLeas who are doing exactly the same thing jest now across the water in relation to this Treaty. Altogether it must be admitted that theOppositioo made little way lest night, the only able speech in their favour being delivered from the Government benches by Sir F. Esitm. Yet what a dreary, crotchety, and miserable display it was! Old in style, obsolete in sob •tanoe, petulant in tone, a com pound apparently of professional antipathy, political suspicion, and constitutional fear. THE IRISH CHURCH ILDUCATION SOCIETY AND TSB BOVIBNIIRAVT. Than Dublin Daily Express publishes a correspon dence Wines the Presidents of the Church Kdaration So ciety sad Mr. Cardwell. in which the former ask fur exten d= of aid to their schools, on the ground that the minciple of the National Society—that no child shell be compelled to r ec eive religin@ teaching which his parents object to---is ob served in their school... They, however, add explanations which reduce the feet to this, that Ocoee they proclaim their Intention of teaching the Holy ficripturee, patents sending their children voluntarily most be suppeed townie their chu ck= to he instructed in them. In the next place they ok that if the government should doubt that their schools ore excluded on the principl. a of the established system, they may m otive aid as a srp.rate clam, on the principle upon which aid is given to convent and monastic schole. Mr. Cardwell re plies that two principks ►ave long been recognised by the crown sad ►y parliament, ea the only principles sppli colds to the tiresomeness of Ireland, in respect to religious end secular elm...tine. let. During school hours the educa tion given in school. deriving 'desistance from the sate must be of ai comprehensive a chamfer 55 not to ezeltide pupils belonging to any of the Christian chants,. 2nd. Before mid after school hours the patrons of any school are free to convey Christian instruction according to their owes distinctive tenets. But no child must at say time he required to receive or be present at any religious instruction of which his parents or guardians disepprove. If the Church 'ideation Seamy la able to make such meanest:news in the sc►ools .s may be compatible with them rules, her Majesty's government will be lumpy to co. operate with it; Lett they mast decline to infringe the rule which smarm to all Christiana the power of using any school shied by Use state during the hones rot spot for pastel insertur doe.

The answer of the Austrian cabinet to the English proposals, which has been remitted by Prince Met ternich to M. Thoavenel, bears date the 17th of February. The message of Count Rechberg commences by expressing the high estimation attached by the government of his Apostolic Majesty to the communication from France. The Austrian Minister is happy to discover in these friendly steps an evident desire to maintain a cordial understanding between the two courts. Passing to the examina tion of the four points proposed by England, Count Rechberg points out, under the question of non-intervention, two essential things—lst, The principle of the right of intervention ; and 2nd, The opportunity for its appli cation without prejudging the principle in any way. The Austrian cabinet recognises that in the present circumstances there is no opportunity either for Austria and France to interfere in Central Italy. The second point, as Count Rechberg ob serves, now applies to France alone, Austria having withdrawn her troops from all parts of Italy not under her domination. Referring to the third point, which regards the interior organisation of Venetia, Count Reohberg declares that, although this question must remain quite extraneous to the nego tiations between the powers, the Emperor of Austria loyally maintains all the promises of Villa franca as regards Venetia. If these promises have not yet been realised, the fault can only be attri buted to the intrigues and continued provocations of the Italian revolutionary party, which no longer conceals its intention of turning these concessions against Austria herself, in order to deprive her of Venetia. As regards the fourth point, Count Rechberg oonsiders it useless, at the present moment, to I engage in a discussion of the principle of the proposed combination for the settlement of the affairs of Italy. Austria confines herself to the expression of her own conviction that the re-establishment of, the former dynasties and the realisation of the project of an Italian confederacy would much better guarantee the future of the peninsula. She will leave it to time and the course of events to confirm the justice of her judgment. ROME. ENGLISH SYMPATHISERS WITH THE POPE. The following account of the interview of a depu tation of English Roman catholic' with the Pope is from one who wee present, and who gives it to a correspondent of the Morning Post: We had a most touching souse at the Vatican yesterday (the 18th). We, in accordance with an intimation from the English college, went to condole with eke Holy Father, and express our sympathy with him. We were upwards of 200, chiefly catholic. end all English. Cardinal Wisemac read the address., which he, of course, had written also. It was very beautiful ; but the Pope's reply surpassed everything I ever heard for touching and dignified eloquence. He did not reed, but spoke. He said, if it was the will of God Chet this chastisement should be visited upon his church, be, ea vicar of Christ, however unworthy, meat taste of the chalice, and that as becomes all Christiana, knowing that, although we cannot penetrate His motive., God in Ills eriedtew yet twice seething without en ulterior view, which view mutt be good. He requested us to kneel while he prayed for the church, and implored the Divine bless ing upon us all and our children and relatives—for England and all the English—England which, quoting from St. Gregory, he called " The Land of the Saints, " saying, in further allusion to the "non Aagli tad A ageli," that he trusted that England would annum, to produce angels—angels of virtue, angels of holiness, angels of perseverance in the ser vice of God. He gave us his b.nedietion, and cheerfully exhorted us to look forward to the good time when justice and mercy should meet and embrace each other. His voice never faltered, though the tears streamed from his eyes; and there was not one present whose heart was not deeply touched, as was manifest from their emotion. Tee demon stration comprised children, as well as old and young men and women. Amongst those present were the Roman ca tholic bishops cf Liverpool and New Zealand, and one or two more; the rectors of the English and &etch colleges; the prior of the Irish Dominicans, Fathers Howard and &rick land, and Mr. Cholineley, in the habit of private chamber lain to his Holiness. Monsignor Talbot was in attendenoe upon the Pope. Bid Holiness further stated that he received the addren seen earnest and an GRIM of the friendly feeling of England in his behalf; and that he trusted the country which had always hitherto been noted he its strict seam of justice, would not lad isomer or later to recognise the equity of his demuide.

PARIS, Tar BALMY Evans°. The Patrie has a short threatening paragraph addressed to Switzerland, who is recommended to hold her tongue about the annexation of Savoy to France, because it might be very easily proved that great part of the canton of Geneva belongs, properly speaking, to Savoy or to Italy. Is an extension of French pretensions, coupled with a sop to Sardinia, at the expense of Switzerland, in contemplation ? The Boone opened with much animation, and the Rente, which closed yesterday at 681 r. 25c., rose to 68fr. 40c. Several heavy sales in the after part of the day produced a reaction, and the closing prices were 68fr. 20c. for cash and 68fr. 15c. for account, being a fall of 10c. in each case. Mobilier closed without change. Railways left off rather lower. It was rumoured that the Bank of France, having very little discount businees at present, has con sented to make advances to railway companies on new obligations. Tame companies which would have to open subscriptions in April or May for obligations amounting in the aggregate to 250 millions, would thus be enabled to postpone the issue till July. i The Council of the Order of Advocates have re w►ved to carry M.

P We plainly tell you, well-beloved brethren, mistrust those sacrilegious pamphlets, the authors of which call them selves einem but independent catholice, sod yet com mence by trampling under foot the censures of the church against the despoilers of the Holy See.

Mistrust those men who all themselves independent catholic ; eighteen centuries ago the Saviour depicted them—dtteadar a Mai, prophstio.

THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S VISIT TO FERRARA. (FROM OCR SPICIAL COILIMPONDIXt.) FEMUR* Phi. 18. By the telegraphic message 1 sent you last night you have been already informed of the enthusiastic reception which the Governor-General of the &when provinces has met with in this city. His excellency, who arrived at Ferrara at half-put two, was met at the gate of the town by Marquis Tanara, the istetidents of the province, a young Bolognese nobleman, who was one of the most active initiators of the national movement in the Legations. The National Guard, and a part of the Ferrara Brigade which is now garrisoning this city, were drawn up in two lines before the ducal palace, exactly opposite the famous Lion's Tower, where, on the night of the 21st of May, 1407, the unfortunate Puisina and her paramour Ugo, whose story is familisr in England through Byron's poem, were beheaded. The arrival in a dull provincial town—for Ferrara, which onoe contained 100,000 souls, has now scarcely one third of that number—of a man so popular u Farini is a great event for the inhabitants. More over Farini is a native of Rossi, a small village not far from this city, and the Ferratese were anxious to greet the man whom they looked on as their coun tryman. Illuminations, balls, and joy ful demon strations of every kind, were not wanting to wel come him. Travellers who are tow visiting this part of the peninsula cannot but wonder at the progress made by the Italians on the arduous path of freedom. Tnere is a striking difference noticeable between the national movement of these days and that of 1848. During the latter, which ended in a distressing failure, personal ambition, and a total ignorance of political science, were in the ascen dant. But ten years of suffering, and the moral in fluence exercised over the Italian people by Cavour and Parini htve altogether changed the nation and turned the Italians into practical men who know both what they want and what they are about. The greater _part of to-day has been spent by the Go vernor-Cleneral in visits to the hospitals, to the cha ritable institutions, and the monuments of the town. Everywhere he was received with the same marks of affection, and whilst I am writing a crowd throngs the Strada Giuvccca, through which the carriage of Farini is passing, and fins the air with tremendous cheering in honour of him and the gal lant King whom he represents. On the 6th of the mouth the first battalion of Austrian volunteers organised at 'Macerate, arrived at Ancona. It is composed of 600 men who were quartered in the Lazzsretto. Before their leaving Macerate these troops broke into a regular mutiny because the pay was not so high as had been pro mised them when they were enlisted at Trieste. On the morning of the &h a great many tri-coloured flags were seen hanging from the windows and the doors of Ancona to the astonishment of the papal police, who could not discover the authors of this new political demonstration. To arrest all the ene mies of the papal government would he an impossible thing, for hatred of the priests has taken possession of all classes of the community. The prisons are not spacious enough to hold all the men, women, and children at once, and this is the chief reason that the police is condemned to comparative inaction. In spite of this, however, the most influential citi gene of Ancona, Pesaro, and Urbino, have not been 'pared. and I am told that Palliano, Citta di Castello, and other prisons of the state, are now crowded with men whose only crime is that of desiring the Inds- I pendence of their country. A letter from Milan, of the 19th, says:—" As soon as the entrance of Cev.,ur in the la tx at the Scala, the night before hat, was remarked, • general cheering and wavieg of handkerchiefs and hats f Mowed. All other poor mortals immediately lost their attraltion, en I the only idea in the heads of dominoes, Fiereitet, and eVbardners seemed to be to approach the happy Prime Minister who bad sat down in front of the box. The difficulty was only how. One mask, bolder than her companions, began to 'goon.' the great man from one of the boxes just above the one in which he was seated. Having attracted his attention and finding encouragement on the part of Cevour, the w eak descended, entered Camper's box, end embraced him there, amid the frantic applause of the public. Scarcely had the other fem►le masks perceived the moms. of their bold com panion, when a regular hegira took place, everyone being anxious for the same honour. It gave one almost a wish to be prime minister for the time, f there wax no end to the hugging and kissing of the happy little man." Count Mamiani, Minister of Public Instruction at Tnrio, bee accepted the caodidateship offered him by the college of Bibbiana, in Tuscany. The rebellious students of the Sapienza University at Rome have been more indulgently treated than was at first apprehended would hese been the ease. Some of the most active p.r leipauva in the oulo da fe of the address were summoued before the pollee, but exculpated themselves on the ground that irritation had been felt at the forgery of some 0 their signatures, and that this feeling had been pro ductive of oonsoptences not at first contemplated. TEE DZI.MATI6; EQuirerlieN, AND MCCICAL 8101 PUND. BPFACII OF MR. THACKBRAY. The fourth annual festival of the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sisk I , and was Laid at Willis's Sauna CM Wednesday evening. Mr. Ts•c 22222 occupied tha otudr. After an excellent dinner and the usual toasts, the Coma. MAN introduced the toast of the evening with the following speech ..•—" I am rare It will sot require any special advocacy for the cases upon which lam now attest to speak. The toast which 1 have to propose you have all of you arranged lin your hearts to accept, sad if I break down in my remarks, as very likely I shall, you will cheer me all the same, in con sequ-hce of the excelketos of the cause upon which I happen to be speaking to you at this moment. I know you will drink with all your heath' prosperity to the 'Dramatic, Equestrian, and Mitrel Aka Final Association.' If all the world is a stage, se oe know by the ancient adage, and all the men and women are merely players, we know that the world is their stage, and that the players are men sad women of rater own time. We know that if Romeo and Mental° go to the Calf de l' Europe after the play and imbibe prodigious quantities of punch after their oyster'', it is pretty certain that those two gentlemen of Verona' would have to suffer for it. If Macbeth should not be • very prosperous Macbeth, but a very dressy man, we will say, in his nature, and determined to have • kilt and tartan from en expensive tailor, and be does not pay that echneider for the goods he fends homer Macbeth, however great his courage, however noble his resolution, will feel a little faint as he turns down Bond-street, and will have his fine mind • little disturbed, and his serenity put out of order. If Ophelia has • child at home ill and requiring a doctor, and all sorts of attention which her means will not enable her to procure when she comes to the play the next night her voice will fait her—her part fails her—the applause fails her that she was accustomed to obtain, and her engagement fails her when she requires it on the next occasion. Oh deer'. what domes tic dramas—what thrilling dramas of domestic life, bare we all heard of who know anything of these things! Every one of ne can tell of dramas of this kind which take place when the curtain is down and when the boxes are covered up in brown holland, and the audience have gone to their boons. I am trying at this moment to speak imam jolly a manner as I can patently. We are met here in mirth sad festivity. We per the cheering wine-cap and we give the loyal toast, and, es the evening y asses, We shall warm up and make speeches towards one another, in which we shell endow each other with every possible virtue. But along with this champagne and this froth we mean beaked.. You mean that you have an excellent, honour able, and worthy purpose to_ pursue for the benefit of the members of your pro:anion. You wish to say to them that you wish to embrece them all in the kindly grasped Christian Charity, and to see them all working for themselves, thriftily, piudeptly, prosperously, and respectably. It has been charged against our proteasion, that we are not careful enough of our money. I hope that better times are coming for both our crafts. I hope that that miserable, puling plea or excuse made fur men of Imaginative temperament—of palliation for men of genius and se forth—Nat humbug is, I hope, to be done away with deify until it entirely disappears from among Oa. If we wish to be respected, there is nothing for it but to be respectable. Macbeth and Runlet must be so as well as the individual who comes in to inform the prince that the play ere are come, or the fellow that goes oat and announces that the banner is hue( open the outer wall. It is within the scope of all minds; limos, when we talk of contribution. from the wealthy, and the people called swells,' and so forth, well and good. L t those gentlemen come forward and give out of their purses end their hearts towards those who have once amused them. Contributions from menage= come better still. Let the captains of fortunate ships that have passed through the hardship of the voyage, and sold their cargoes prosperously, minister to the comfort of the crews and the men whose good order, gallantry and per ieverance havecarried them through. Let than look forward to the evil times that way possibly fell upon themselves, Let Mesa think of the women and children, the mother. and wives at home, and endeavour to gather up something against the rainy day that might posintoy come. We can not all expect t.. do leading business in the drama of life, gentlemen, and that is the only moral of the little pony I have to tell you. Every WIN whether be be the Grave digger, or Rosenclardz, or Poloniur ' or Layette, or Hamlet, or (to come to the equestrian school) the eawduster in the circus, the squire of the ring, or the Bohemian cavalcador of twenty-four homers at one time—every one of those, from the highest to the lowest—can have the aim to be an honest man. We can all be good fathers and the friends of our neighbours; arid, by God's help, we shoold all wish to attain that position. If we tail in the moil, as the best of us way, if we break down, we alma have to cheer us after our deleat—not that pity which is akin to contempt, and from which the Lord deliver us all !—but that hearty sympathy and regard which an honest man will always give to other honest end brave men in misfortune. That in the toast, and I give it yin, I am sure, an advance only of the enthusiasm with which you will drink the roast of the evening. 1 give you. ' Prosperity to the Bromidic Benevolent Fund.
