Mr. Benton, of Missouri, suggested a division of the message ; that one part was appropriate to the one com mittee named, and another part to the other. The de fence against hostilities t;hould be referred to the Com mittee on Military Affairs ; that of carrying on war against Mexico to that on Foreign Relations. Mr. Allen and Mr. Sev ore ier both concurred in this view. , that they Mr. Cass took the same -view, and made a seech com batting the idea put forth by Mr. Calhoun , were not at war. Mr. Calhoun approved of the Th divi e sion of lling the me ostili ssage for reference ;it was pr o p er. repe h ties required prompt, energetic action. The declaration of war required grave, deliberate consideration. observa- Wh at Mr. Cass repelled was " the constitution," not tions of his. Mr. Morehead, Mr. Cam Mr. Davis (of Massachu setts), Mr. Sevier, Mr. J. M.

At the expiration of the half-hour the debate Wan accor ding to order, terminated , and after some othr a e n e h ours ' voting on amendments and substitute;: o f a ll de scriptions, a Bill was adopted, with the following pre amble : " Whereas, by the Act of the republic of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and the United States." And the Bill authorises the President — To employ all the militia and naval and military forces of the United States. To call for 50,000 volunteers. To finish all the public armed vessels now authorised by law. To purchase, or charter , arm, equip, and man, mer chant and steam•vessels. And places at his disposal 10,000,000 dolls., or about 2,000,0001. This Bill was passed by 174 votes to 14. On Tuesday, the 12th instant, the Senate met at noon, and the above-mentioned Bill was immediately brought • The message appeared in our yesgerday's impression. There is a considerable portion of the democratic party is the northern States who, so far from being in favour of a tariff for revenue alone, in other words, of free-trade measures, are opposed to them and wish to retain the present tariff, w ith i ts exorbitant rates of duties. The whole of the southern and western democracy, however, are in favour of free trade. The northern democracy,. however, are preeminent in intrigue, and Mr. Polk himself has always had fraternal relations with that section of the party, and, it is believed, did not wish to disoblige and offend them by pressing with all the weight of Executive influence (which, if heartily exerted, is almost omnipotent here) the repeal of the tariff of 1842. He knew, however, that if the southern democracy once believed.he had betrayed them on this point, they would turn upon him and bis Admi nistration and defeat it. Wishing, therefore, to conci liate the souther; men by appearing in favour of the repeal of the tariff, it is believed he has sought to accom plish the ends of the northern democracy by sending these troops first into Texas, and then to the Rio Grande, so that at any rate heavy expenses would be incurred, and if Mr. Slidell were not received perhaps a war provoked, and thus reasons given to the northern democracy for saying that they would not think of Vot ing for a reduction of the tariff, with such heavy and increasing expenses, and a war either on hand or in prospect. This is now sincerely believed by some of the southern democracy to have been a prominent cause of the course of action which Mr. President Polk has thought fit to pursue in regard to Texan and Mexican affairs, with the additional one, that if it should be, as it was universally believed it would be, a successful war, it would reflect glory on his Administration. I now state, on the best authority, that there is no Prospect of a revision of the tariff now, if this should t u r n out to be a war in earnest ; and that there is but little prospect of such a revision in the present session, even if two or three weeks should see the relations of the United States and Mexico peaceably settted.

In our list of auctions to-day our feiend, George Robins, indulges us with some of his best told tales, and they are all lengthened beyond his usual taste. The announce ment of Ford Abbey exemplifies this observation; this sale has literally caused a furor in the world of auctions; the historical account of this extraordinary monastery Mr. Robins takes no mean credit for—it is the handiwork we are told of the cleverest lady throughout the county ; it will, indeed, amply compensate for its perusal ; verily it must find a place (ab, and keep it too) in every one's library. The interest of the notori-us Judge Jeffreys is kept up throughout, and few there are who are aware of the extent of his fearful rob beries. The drawing gives a splendid view .of the monastery of which it is believed there is nothing like it on record. It is 300 feet long. INTOLERANCE IN THE ANERICAN ARMY.—The army of the United States, under the command of General Taylor in Texas, amounts to nearly 7,000 men, and of tills number 4,000 are Roman Catholic?. When men ere in daily expectation of taking the field against an enemy, and exposing their lives to the danger of death, it may be naturally supposed that intolerance, however savage at other times, would then relent and respect the conscientious feelings of fellow-creatures placed in a situation so impressive. Such has not been the fact in Texas, for the Catholics in the army in that new state, in disregard of constitutional rights, and in defiance of their unanimous protestation, have been forced to attend the preaching of a Presbyterian clergyman on Sundays !

(From the London .Yew Price Current of May 29.) SUGAR.—To-day buyejs of West Indian Sugar were induced to operate with more freedom in conser a uence of merchants again sub mitting to rather lower rates, and a good business was transacted but chiefly by the refiners, the quantity sold amounting to 650 hhds. REFINED.—To-day prices underwent no alteration for Refined Goods, but the home trade operated with caution. In bonded Crushed Sugar a large business has been transacted, and 325. per cwt. is the value of first quality with a firm market. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Importers of Mauritius Sugar were disposed to sell, and offered 9,286 bags 30 casks at public sale:; the whole sold, but the rates taken were in some cases rather under those that previously prevailed. EAST INDIA. —For white and yellow Bengal rather lower rates having been taken, has occasioned the demand to be good, and pri vately several parcels have been disposed of. The genuine Dobah sorts are held for 50s to Ges, but there has been only a limited busi ness transacted by private treaty this week. Of Madras, there being little in the market, prices remain much the mina as previously quoted, but few purchases have been made privately, and none has been offered at auction. Of Foreign East India prices still rule above those of other descriptions of Sugar admissible for home consumption. FOREIGN.—There has generally been more activity in the market for Foreign Sugar this week, but at present little improvement has taken place in prices. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation chiefly sold, but holders were compelled to take previous reduced prices. Mocha is neglected, and 378 bales 252 half bales were all taken in—middling at 545, good mid ling green long bean 58s, good 60s, bold triage 425, black 12s 6d to 14s Gd, andgood pea berry 65s per cwt, being about the former value.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year:— --- IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY_ (DUBLIN TO GALWAY). A special general meeting of the proprietors, share holders, and scripholders, took place yesterday at the offices of the Company, in Whitehall-place, in pur suance of the sessional orders of the Houses of Par liament ' • Mr. Fitmtephen F renc h, M Y., in the chair. The SECRETARY having read the - advertisement con veninc, the meeting, ____ .6 Tice Citantstarrstated that he had received three hun dred letters from differentparties, who held 13,000 shares in the Company, empowering him to vote that the Bill should be proceeded with in Parliament. The spirit of those letters perfectly satisfied him that the directors had acted rightly in disregarding the various attacks made upon the Company in the public prints. The shareholders were no doubt aware that at a former meeting a proposition was made for leasing the line to the Cashel Company ; in consequence of that proposal a meeting was held of the influential shareholders of the Cashel line, at which a resolution was passed that it was expedient for the Cashel Company to purchase the Galway line. Mr. Carr, the deputy chairman of the Cashel Company, went over to Ireland in conse quence of that resolution, and called a special meeting of the Cashel Company to consider the matter; at that meeting a sub-committee was appointed to investigate the merits of the proposition ; that committee reported that it was not usual for an existing company to agree to lease another which had not obtained its Act, and it 7as therefore proposed, as soon as the Act of incorpora tion of the Irish Great Western Railway received the royal assent, the Cashel CoMpany should purchase the line at 41. per share, without any deduction for expenses. This offer to their own board, being proposed upon the re ceipt of it, the directors effect that th e y considered fbaessoeffder a a one, f r u e i s r olut i and do that'the they were pr e p are d to carry it out if it were sanctioned South h sequently by the shareh o ld ers , an d the agreement was confirmed by the b oar d o f t h e GreatS Western Railway C om p any , and immediately afteerarw and d advertised in the Gl o b e , w i t h t h e view of preven t n a•un ar du e speculation in the shar es . Th e shareholders wer'e aware that they were now called upon to decide whether they would proceed with their Bill or not. He did, not know whether it was necessary to trouble the meeting with any remarks upon the merits of the Bill.; but he should be happy to hear any observations from any honourable proprietor who might choose to make them. He was quite ready to give any explanation that might be required. Mr. YOUNG, the solicitor, then read a breviate of the Bill, and The CHAIRMAN said it was for the meeting to decide whether they - would go on or not. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said that there could not be a shareholder present who could object to the negotiation which had taken place with the Great Wsstern and South ern Company, because in the present state of the money market the arrangement which had been entered into was most advantageous to them ; and he thought that the cordial thanks of the meeting were due to the di rectors for having brought the concern to so favourable an issue. He wished to call the attention of the di rectors to a most important point :—should any obstacle arise in Parliament preventing the clause of sale from being inserted, he would wish to know what would be the condition of the Company.—(Hear, hear.) He took it for granted, from the accounts which had been read of what took place at other meetings, that the majority of shareholders were disinclined to proceed with the Bill unless the agreement with the Cashel Company were carried into effect ; and, certainly, if it was not, he for one should vote against the further progress of the Bill—(Hear, Lear)—for although Irish ca pitalists were ready enough to use railways made with English capital, they always evinced a decided disinclination to subscribe their own money towards carrying out those legitimate undertakings, and if he consented to the proceeding with the Bill without any such arrangement being entered into he should be in curring a very heavy responsibility indeed.—(Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, he put it to the meeting whether they ought not to have some under standing that, in the event of the agreement which had been made with the Great Southern and Western Com pany not being sanctioned by the Legislature,' the fur ther progress of the Bill should be stopped. He would, therefore, move an amendment, pledging the directors to such a course. _ _ Mr. STANFORD said he quite agreed with what 'bad been said by Mr. Harvey, but he wished to Make a few observations in reference to an attack made upon him by the directors of the Company, through the medium of an advertisement, namely, that he did not .hold a single share in the undertaking, and that he was retained, to oppose the line by another rival company. .Now such was not the fact. He held 500 shares, and it was the fact of his having a very serious interest in the concern which induced him to act in the manner whiph he• did. He considered that the agreement entered into with the Cashel Company amounted to nothing. They had merely the promise of the directors to endeavour to make their shareholders agree to the proposition. He would there fore propose that the meeting should be adjourned until a meeting of the shareholders of the. Great Southern, and Western should have been convened, and until they had expressed their assent or dissent to the. arrange-. ment.—(Hear, hear.) The CHnamlN observed that such .an amendment could not be put at that meeting, as it had been coa vened for a specific purpose, which they were` obliged to Mr. COLLETT, M.P., assured the meeting that there could be no doubt that the shareholders of the Great Southern and Western would approve of the proposal. He was a director of that Company, and could state from his own knowledge that moEt of the influential share holddrs were favourable to it. •. • The O'CoNon Dox observed that the line possessed great intrinsic merits, and that would be a sufficient rea son for going on with the Bill. After a desultory conversation, the polling commenced, when it was discovered that 15,793 shares were in favour of proceeding with the Bill, and 500 were against it,- the whole number of shares representing the capital of the Company amounting to 27,000, and the only dissen tient shares being those of Mr. Stanford. The meeting then separated. NAME OF RAILWAY. Week eliding May 23 Arbroath and Forfar •••••••• • • • • • • • Bristol and Birmingham . • ... • ... • • • Chester and Birkenhead .............

HARROLD V. WHITTAKER. Mr. Justice Parrzeorr (at the request of Lord Denim - A, temporarily absent) delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which was set down in the special paper, and will, h stood over, after arguments on pleas of- demurrer, for tLe consideration of the Court. The Learned Judge pronounce d the judgment to be in favour of the plaintiff. I GILES V. GILES. The Learned' Judge (PAirEsorit) also delivered judgme..e in this case, the points at issue being pleas upon demurre;-4, in which the parties on the one side and the other appear ni,t to have performed certain conditions of an agreement en tered into between them respecting landed property held by, one under the other, the said property being a demise undor a will, made by the father of the parties. The Learned JUDGE went through the facts, and on ; t second plea, pronounced the judgment of the Court to be :n favour of the defendant ; and on the first plea, to be in favour of the plaintiff. The full Court then proceeded to hear arguments in .t! e cases set down in the special paper. Mr. UNTllANKRATllNertillratvihiii: I :;as KaF ara p ciion brought I.:pc n a cheque, drawn by the defendant in favour of the plaiutttf, and dishonoured when presented for payment, on the grooLd that it was not presented in reasonable time. lle thoulit that such a position could not be maintained. Mr. COWLING, for the defendant, held that the cheq to should have been presented on the day on which it Iv is drawn, or at the farthest on the following day. In this c:: se the cheque had not been presented for nearly a fortnight after it was drawn, and was then dishonoured as not having been presented within a reasonable time.. He maintained that the party should suffer by his own neglect, and that tae verdict ought to be enter& for the defendant. A long argument ensued between the Learned Gentleman and the Judges, the latter holding that it should make no difference when the party presented the cheque; that it should have been paid, and that not presenting it in what the Learned Counsel called " reasonable time" was no rees.in why it should not be paid.. The Court ultimately ruled the point against Mr. Cowling EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES, Sce. In cons equence of the disaster which happened so:ger months since to the ship Robert Isaacs, which had emi grants on board for the United States, and proved to have been unseawerthy, her Majesty's Colonial Laad said Emigration Commissioners gave directions that every vessel, which intended to take emigrants, should be examined as regards her seaworthiness, and the law relating thereto strictly complied with. They issued an order— That all vessels which were not registered at Lloyd's, or which being registered and classed lower than the seeead dekription of the first-class, should not be considered eligible by the Government Emigration Agents for the conveyal ce of passengers, without having been first subjected to an ex A mination by Lloyd's surveyors." These surveyors, mistaking their duty, refused top - ,ss any American vessels unless they complied with all she arbitrary rules laid down at Lloyd's as necessary, in order to be classed on their books. In consequee,le, several of the new and first-class New York packe:s, and others, were denied the privilege of taking pass, a -1 gers ' at a time, too, when the rate of passage was very high. This caused great excitement among the Ame rican shipmasters, and others interested—as it would throw this important part of the intercourse bete een the two countries into British ships alone, to the excu sion of American—and caused a very bitter feeling. We are happy to learn that, through the representa tion of General Armstrong, United States Consul at Liverpool, who is ever watchful of the interests of leis countrymen, other surveyors have been appointed, u ho perform their duty to the satisfaction of all parti•~s. Upon this subject, the following communication l•as been addressed to General Armstrong : " Colonial Land and Emigration Office, directed to a oacknowledge citghee3tl o r n l i e a t l te L r an of d t a h n e d 2 E 2 m d i i tr s a t : a iz 9, Park-street, Westminster, April 27, 1846. Co " m S m ir ic - sio l ne a rs in received on Saturday, and to assure you that the Comn,is sioners are very desirous that no unnecessary obstruction should be presented to the sailing of any vessel which is fit for her intended voyage. The nature of the agency through which the survey of emigrant ships should be effected is u , der consideration, and will be decided before the end of the pra sent week. But, in the meanwhile, lam desired to acquaint you that the Commissioners take the same view which von Have expressed, that the seaworthiness of the ship is the only question to be determined, and that they have already furnished their officer at Liverpool with instructions wl ich (sill enable him to consent to the clearance without dela ; , , of any ship respecting which h e i s sa ti s fi e d th a t s h e i s sea worthy, so as to be fit for her intended voyage.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " J.
