Ifs the Bill was understood to receive the support of many I Members in that House. Mr. BARING said, he had no wish to press his Amendment. At the same time he must observe, in an- swer to the Hon. Oentleman who saw so much danger in the oppoiotment of a Catholic Oovernor of Antigua, that it would be extremely difficult to satisfy such a mind as his of the adequacy of any securities. Mr. OOULBURN explained. A desultory conversation then ensued on the re maining clauses, as they were put by the Chairman in succession, between Sir J. Newport, Dr. Phillinsore, Mr. Baring - , Lord Castlereagh, Mr: M. Fitzgerald, Sir 0. 11111, Mr. Peel, Mr. C. Wynn, Mr. Bright, Mr. W. Couttenay, Sir 11. Parnell, Mr. F. Robinson, Mr. Rice. and Mr. Tennyson, when, after sonic partial modifica tion, they were all substantially agreed to. Mr. ELLIS (of Dublin) proposed a clause for more effectually excluding Roman Catholic Priests from seats in that House. Mr. W. WYNN opposed it as unnecessary. Mr. ELLIS said that his object was to render the Bill liable to as few exceptions ass possible. After a few words from Sir J. NEWPORT, the clause was (as we understood) carried. Sonic verbal amendments were then proposed and agreed to in the preamble, after which the House resumed, and the report was ordeted to be received to-morrow. Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, that as the Report was to be brought up to-inorrow, he would then move that tae Dill should be reprinted, and fix Monday next f r ti.e third 'reading. 4r. PEEL thought it but fair to state, that he bad every reason to believe that a division would take place on the third reading of the Bill. 'I he other Orders of the Day were, then disposed and the House adjourned at 12 o'clock. PRICE OF STOCKS THlbt Bunk stuck 3 per Cent.

As a sample of the sort of articles that were in currency &milt! then; to-day, we give the following we received at Loon from the city:— Royal Exchange., Tterlre o'Clork. "Various were the opinions and reports on the Chanae this morning, owing to the different accounts retched front the Contineut. Some n ot e for believing that the Austrians had positively entered Naples; others, who seemed better informed, thought the Neapolitans would not give up their capital without risking a battle; but the report most in circulation and credited was, a counter-revolution at Naples, which had the desired elect on the Funds. • Another statement was, that 100,000 Russians had taken their departure irons• i the Polish frontiers, on their route to Italy. On the other hand it was affirmed with great confidence, that an Italian house of some consequence in the City, had received an express frost Milan of a battle having taken place on the 14th it.btant, in which the Austrians were dthated."

This reciprocal sentiment will certainly be justified. (Signed) " FRANCIS, Regent." NATL.'S, MARC" 7.—The Prince Regent has ap pointed for his officers of Ordnance, the Duke of Casoli, the Prince of Allieno, the Prince of Terri's, the Marquis Brancacchio, Count Niscetni, and Count Partanna. A decree of the Prince Regent orders all land holders and farmers, as soon as they see the enemy ad vancing, to remove every kihd of provisions and forage behind the lines of the army. An account will be taken of their losses. Our troops occupy Ascoll, under the orders of Camp-Marshall Verdinosi, and maintain good dis cipline, with which the Pontifical Authorities have expressed their satisfaction. PARIN Maacu 26.—The King of Sardinia is ex pected here. Preparations are making at the Elysee de Bourbon for his reception. His Majesty's brother, the Duke de Genevois, has protested against the late proceedings at Turin. The several garrisons in Savoy are ordered ap to Turin. Baron Bender, the Austrian Ambassador in Pied mont, passed Mont-Cenis on the 21st. .% letter from Turin, dated March 20, states that oa the 17th a division of artillery msrched for the fron tiers. The citadel was to be occupied by the National Guard. The Coastitittionnel of Friday contains a remarkable paragraph, which we snhjoin : " Some of our readers reproach us for our silence on the actions between the Austrians and Neapolitans. Our silence speaks for itself." The following intelligence is from a private source, and is accompanied with a caution not to place im plicit confidence in the report : Paris. Tuesday Oct-moos, kali past 2 °Week. " MILAN, Mmtva 20.—" It is reported that the Austrians have made themselves toasters of Naples, and that they entered in consequence of a capitulation with the President of the tiovernment. It is said that the latter Is to grant a sort of Constitation as (avowable in its nature to the Aristocracy, as that of Spain is of a contrary character." " It is certain, however, says the writer, that the Austrian and Russian Ministers were very anxious to leave Turin, but that the new Sovereivi prevailed upon them to stay, saying that he was determined to take no part in the war on either side. " He then adds, two couriers arc Pat arrived from Rome, which they left on the 13th. They have bronght dispatches both to the French and Austrian governments, to the effect that the Austrians are every where received with open arms ! that they ex-i periesee ao resistance either from the people or the army, which latter not only makes no stand, but dis perses in all directions. " The relates opened at 77f. 50c. They are now 77f. SOc.

This does not exclude the laws made in the present Cortes, which shall not be subject to any Veto whatever. The executive power is in the. King, end his Ministers acting under his authority.

I tan assure you that this plan will have the most important results, and if it is accomplished, as 1 hope, Lima will be ours in three mouths from this slate.

La the House of Commons last night, a curious eon venation took place in the early part of the evening. on the affairs of the Bank of Ireland. It appears that the paper of that Bank WAS at one period considered worth duce and a half per cent. more than gold, and gold having been then sent in large quantities for their paper, the Rank being unable, under the Restriction Act, to reissue gold, refused under certain circum• sttnces, to receive deposits in cash. In the course of the evening, the Roman Catholic rll was carried through the Committee.

This is a great point gained; and it sheers the iris torn of delaying to pronounce an opinion, either of Clergy or Laity, until Loth Bills had passed the Committee : and it shews further, the folly and precipitation of those who stand forth to combat what may be, after al .
