After prayers had been read, Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, the Usher of the Black Rod, wactlireeted to require the attendance of the Com.

The French Papers, which arrived last night, are filled entirely with matters of purely domestic interest, and some private correspondence from Spain and Italy, on which little reliance can be placed. The advices from Madrid, which are dated 2Sth ult. state that the public tranquillity had been unbroken since the troubles on the 16th. Some of the leading members of the Apostolic Junta had been expelled from the capital on account of the share they bad bad in fomenting the late disturbances. An order had been directed to the Supreme Council of War, to draw up, without delay, a new code of regulations for the royal volunteers. The report had been circulated afresh since the return of the Court to Madrid, that the ancient Cones would be convoked. But though this report proceeded from the Palace, no one knew on what foundation it rested. The Colombian privateers infested the whole coast of the Peninsula, not only in the Mediterranean, but from Cape Finistere to Bilboa. The Moniteur, in its official part, announces that on Sunday, before mass, SIDI MAustoun, the Tunisian Envoy, had his audience of leave. The ministerial journals of Paris are preparing the public for the great work of reducing the rentes. The general state of Europe, and the internal condition of France, are both said truly to favour the undertaking. The Etoile, dated Tuesday, enters at great length upon the discussion of the two questions :—" Will the conversion of the 'mates be successful ? In case it should not, will the re payment of the rentes take place ?" After arguing that the political situation of the kingdom is altogether pecu liarly well adapted for the repayment, the writer pro ceeds : " We can affirm that the prospect of the affairs of Europe never seemed more calm, or afforded the assurance of a more profound peace. All the sovereigns have made thin engagement to their people. All are united by an alliance of which no period of his. tory offers an example; and it may be said that if England, yield iog to the interests of commerce, has departed from it by its trea ties with •%te new Republic of Spanish America, it has nevertheless done every thing in its power to persuade Europe that this was no, 'a recognition of independence. " Besides, England had announced this resolution for several years, and we do not see, though it is evident that it has been dis approved by all the great Continental Powers, that this resolution has produced any derangement of the policy of Europe. The King of England declared in his speech from the throne that nothing should be seen in this step but ` treaties destined to confirm the commercial relations existing between Great Britain and the new States.' Front that m)ment, therefore, we are allowed to consider the whole affir as settled; and this affair, at which people affected to be alarmed, has passed over without the slightest shock. Nothing is to be now foreseen in the question relative to the Spanish Colonies of a nature calculated to cause political embar rassment. " Greece remains; but it is impossible that Christian rowers should not agree In a question which interests Christianity. The enemies of the peace of Europe must therefore abandon the hopes which they founded on the state of affairs in the East."

' Several letters were yesterday received from Mexico. Those from the capital are not of later date than the had !lgen= we yesterday gave exclusively. Their contents are, however, not devoid of interest. The Treaty betwixt cheat Britain and Meo was ratified by the Congress on the 26th of April, after a division of 44 Representatives in favour of the measure, and 12 in opposition to it. With the Senate and Executive no difficulty occurred, and all differences were finally arranged on the 29th. Mr. Mo alLu intended to depart for England with the Treaty on the 10th of May. The foreign commerce of the Republic „had increased to considerably, that in the month of March the receipts of the custom-houses alone were equal to the lbtic expendil W- find that ;- at Mexico, from the' Vat:Adana Mining District. The: practice of the new system of amalgamation had been found in every way equal to the expectation of the tniners• The works were proceeding with much animation, and a considerable quantity of silver, in bars, bad been forwarded to Mexico to undergo the operation of being stamped with the Republican Eagle. From Alvarado the letters are dated on the 11th of, May, but they communicate nothing of political import ance. His Majesty's ship Egeria had received orders to be ready to proceed to England with 'Mr. Monica, on the 15th of May, and had been anchored at Sacrificios, there to await his arrival. From Guatemala information has been received, dated on the 3d of April. The Central American Republic at that period enjoyed all the advantages of profound tran quillity. The Government was employed in forming a code of laws. Smuggling was the chief vice against which the energies of the State were divided. Low duties, how ever, alone can extinguish this evil. Mr. Titomrsost bad been despatched by Mr. Monica from Mexico, to inquire into the political state of Gnati mala, and had been directed, as soon as he had satisfied himselr on this brad, to proceed to England direct, and communicate his information on this subject to his Ma jesty's Ministers, with a view to the riegotiation of a treaty of amity and commerce. We deem it one of the peculiar blessings of this country, and a chief cause of that high tone of moral and religious feeling by which Englishmen have long been so honourably distinguished, that the province of education has been al most exclusively confined to the clergy. The principal and assistant masters of our great public schools are, with scarcely any exceptions, clergymen. Most of tke Colleges in our Universities are, by their constitution, clerical, as far as regards the Fellows and Tutors. The greater num ber of respectable private schools ate under similar super intendence, and there is hardly a private tutor of respect ability who is not a clergyman. One advantage of this system is, that the nation has a great security for The moral respectability, as well as literary attainments, of those to whom the education of its youth is confided. Another is, that the rising generation are reared in principles of attach ment to the established religion of the land. In following this course we have the best assurance that the youth of this Christian country will be imbued with some knowledge of the evidences, the doctrines, and the precepts of the re ligion which they profess. Where there is systematic in struction in religious knowledge, the students are at least reminded of its importance, and not suffered to be ignorant for want of having their attention directed to the most important of all the subjects of human knowledge. So far is it from being true, as is asserted in the Morning Chro nicle, that at Oxford no religious instruction is imparted to the students there, that regular lectures are given in every College on some portion of the Scriptures, and at neither University, under the regulations of late years, can any young man proceed to his first degree, without undergoing an examination in the evidences of history, and contents of the New Testament. This is one of the features which honourably distinguish our English Universities from those of Scotland ; and it is the want of this provision for religious instruction—not simply the accidental want, but the deliberate and avowed exclusion of it—which we hold to be a fatal objection to the proposes! London Academy, in the eyes of every pious and sincere member of the Eng lish church. The distinction which is attempted to be taken between the case of young men residing in the Universities and those who continue to live with their parents (to whom the business of religion under the new system is to be left), might be worth attention, were it true—which it is not— that the parents of those youths who are likely to attend the London Academy lectures, were comp-tent and at /ei.rare to read lectures on divinity to their sons. Yesterday Parliament was prorogued by Commission. The Speech delivered by the Lone CHANCELLOR in his NIAsTBTN's name, is, as might have been expected, of no great length. It is only in seasons of public danger or distress that many topics can be found for a document of this nature. When the tide of national prosperity flown in an even and uninterrupted course, there can be but few subjects to which it is necessary specially to advert from the throne, on closing the session of the Legislature. In the first place, the Speech congratulates Parliament on the improved condition of Ireland, and the cessation of those extraordinay measures of rigour, which the public safety had required. The progress made in that country to wards a general melioration of the state of society, is, welave reason to believe, much greater than is generally supposed. It would be strange, indeed, if Ireland could 'remain without improvement, while Great Britain cond.: awes every year to go on increasing in power and wealth. There was certainly some alarm during the da)s of the Catholic Association, and for a short time after the rejection of the Catholic claims; but confidence is now restored, and British capital is beginning to take a direction favourable to the spread of industri ous and orderly habits among the Irish people. It is for this reason that we have lately witnessed what would otherwise have been entirely inexplicable, viz.—the removal of coercive measures simultaneously with the re fusal of a demand in support of which the majority of the physical forcc of the country was arrayed. If, under these circumstances, naturally irritating, at least to a large and reetive party, we see the public tranquillity nevertheless perfectly maintained and beano every daybeatee assured, we may condnde that all apprehensions respecting the peace of Ireland are at this moment without foundation. Unless the Catholic leaders should press too far on the for bearance of Government, there is no danger of disturbance. Though the symptoms have occasionally been rather equi writ], we have, after all, some confidence in the wa riness and good sense of Mr. OtoN Li.. Temperance is certainly no more an Irish virtue titan chastity; but we are priised for baring " reterned to die sound principles of commerce." Their claims to public gratitude go far be yond this. The truth is, they have practically introduced, for the first time, a system which no Ministers have hitherto had the wisdom or the courage to act upon ; they have brought into actual operation those principles l of political economy which have grown out of the progress of know ledge, and which arc the result of inquiry directed by pro found reflection, and confirmed by matured experience. It is in the application of those axioms of enlightened policy that, departing from the trammels and casting aside the prejudices of their predecessors in office, they have imparted a new and refreshing energy to the commerce of the coun try—they have breathed, as it were, into it the spirit of justice--the benefit to the mercantile world will be in calculable. In the Foreign Department, Mr. CANNING has *oat a difficult crisis to act in, and he has acted in it with great forecast, anti with a firmness that, without giving any umbrage to Foreign Powers, has preserved to Great Bti tain her preponderating influence in the affairs of Europe. ! When we consider the feverish state of feeling on the Con tincnt, and the jealousy with which our poWer is viewed ! by its leading Potentates, the preserving entire the relations of pence and amity, and preserving them, too, in a sound' and healthful state, is matter of no light praise. The public business has been conducted during the whole of the Session with more than usual temper and courtesy on the part of the Opposition. We have witnessed nothing of that elemental strife—that war of annoyance—with which it was formerly the custom to embarrass the opera tions of Government. All this we are e .ail to perceive i s fast fading away. What has wrought this change of dis position? Have the Opposition, by common consent, broken their weapons of warfare? Have they determined for the future to follow no preconcerted system of factious , cavilling, and to speak only what they think? Not so, exactly. The truth is, that party ii97iienre has lost its h the public mind. The bulk of the people have arrived at that state in which men think for themselves, and cease to resign their judgment to the dominion of any body of men, either in or out of power. That age of ig norance and credulity, in which the bulk of the nation take everything upon trust, is gone by. An Adminis tration in these times mutat be calculated for the light of day, and it is the great praise of the present that it is so Names of parties no longer mislead the multitude. The standards of Whig and Tory are cast down, never to be raised again. The tone of the Opposition is lowered, be cause they know that public ()Pinion is with the Ministry, and deservedly so, for we may unhesitatingly assert, that the public interests have never been more anxiously attended to, or a stronger disposition manifested on the part of Government to advance whatever could tend to promote them, titan during the Session of Parliament which terminated yesterday. It is not unlikely, we think, that after the Assizes there will be a dissolution of the Parliatnen t. Of course we do not pretend to speak with any certainty as to an event which is never disclosed till the Cabinet have decided that it shall take place. The financial tables, which we publish in another part of this day's paper, •.till be found fully to justify the statements we made yesterday, with respect to the flourishing state of the revenue. Excluding the repayment by Austria, the increase during the last year amounted to 1,713,601!. In the Customs there is an increase of 1,851,7411., and in the Excise a decrease of 462,080/. We explained yes terday how this apparent fluctuation had occurred. Since the dth of April last, the duties on imported articles have been transferred from the Excise to the Customs. Adding, them together, we have on these two branches of the re venue an increase of 1,319,6611. during the last year. In Stamps the increase is 407,0381.; and in the Post-Office 70,000/. On the quarter, the result is even more gratifying. The total increase is 501,041!. In every branch of the revenue during the last quarter, there has been some increase. _ln the Customs and Excise, it amounts to £2:40791.; in Stamps 131,0561.; in the Post-Office 22,000/. ; in the As sessed Taxes 116,7911. No proof more certain can be given of the steady and solid proarrity of the country. The improvement is progressively greater every quarter, in spite of the reductions that have been made in the rate of taxation ; and considering the new fields of enterprise, which are opening to British skill and capital in the vast regions of the New Work', we may fairly calculate, net only upon the continuance of our present prosperity, but upon a large and growing increase. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A good deal of business was done to-day in the English Funds This was the first thy for private transfer at the Bank, but, as had been anticipated, the holders of stock willing to transfer it at the present prices were few. The Consols are consequently a shade higher titan they were yesterday, fili having been the steady value of them for the settlement till the closing of the market. It has been rumoured, that previous to the settlement an eminent capitalist would &live; a million of stock. We are however war ranted in asserting that he mill be a taker at the settlement. The Consols are now six per cent. lower than they were last autumn, and there is no other cause for this effect than some heavy specula tions in cotton and colonial produce, which are at present in transit, and which render country bankers unwilling to invest their surplus capital in the funds until the result of the speculations become more manifest. Next week 31. .. de Rothschild will hold a Congress in Lon don on their own private affairs. On the Foreign Stock Exchange this day the operations are not extensive. South American Securities have suffered little from the trifling opposition which the Treaty with Ehttiar.d met wish in are Mexican Congress. In Shares no alteration can be noted. A small mem, called the London and Doulohme Steam-packet Association, has been brought forward this mozning, of which the shares hare commanded a premium of 2 each. The chisf business, however, was in the Scarlet Dye Company ; the shares of which were suddenly in great demand ; the consequence of which was, their rapid advance to 6 premium. The transactions in 111incing-la-m were extensive and buoyant' The Countess of Dartmouth's reacen , l.:y on T.liaJay evening in Berkeley-square, was attended by ne.aly 'JIM tashionables, in cluding the Duchesses of NlontroFe and Rutland.
