IRELAND. DCBLIN, MARCH 30. TRADES POLITICAL' UNION.—AII extraordinary meet ing of this body took place yesterday, at the Great Rooms, Corn Exchange, to take into consideration the Bill now be fore Parliarner:t for the relief of the Irish poor, with a view to petition thereon, &c. Mr. O'Connell entered the meet ing, and was received with loud and long-continued cheer ing, Ti•e. lion. and Learned Geneeman shortly after pro ceeded to address the meeting on the . subjects of an Address to the Princess Victoria, and Secret S.icieties. The lion. !Ind Learticdtontletnan moved resolutions to the same klifet ax those which had been adopted by the General As sociation. VOOtt LAWS. M. eillriten then proposed the first resolution, " That ti n ny viewed with the deepest apprehension the Poor-law Bill for Ireland now pendieg ;ti Parliament, and that their firm opinion was that such Bill was by no means calculated to mitigate the deep distress prevailing in this country." Nlr:llealy seconded the resolution. Mr. O'Connell then moved the third resolution, and pro ceeded to state the principal heads of the Irish Poor-laws Bill. In the course of a speech, which comprehended a full review of the subject, the lion. and Learned Gentle man said I care not. intaeli who are the officers appointed, or who may be appointe. - i, to administer its provisions, or superintend their execution ; if it. prove advantageous to those edio suffer from hunger and a want of the necessa ries of life—if it tend in any way to alleviate distress—l am perfectly eatisfied." He contended that after having traced the different systems of Poor-laws to the most remote period.; of their origin, and took the countries an which they had been instituted, he could not find one instance where Poor Laws had contributed to improve the condition of the people. He approver of the English Poor Law I3ill as amended, be cause it acted as a stimulus to industry ; but Irishmen re quired no such stimulus—all they wanted was work—all they required was small wages, for which they are willing to give much work. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, towards the conclusion of his long and elaborate speech, re marked that " The present Bill contained no provision of s ettlement, therefore it could not prevent tyrannical land lords turning out the poor on their estates. I have con eeived it my duty to lay all the details before you, in order that you may understand them. I will not oppose it, knowing the indescribable distress which prevails, and hop ing it may in some measure alleviate it. I also give up my cpinion with respect to it to silence the voice of calumny, as well as because there is a division among the friends of Ireland with respect to it. The opinions of those, though I conscientiously believe they are erroneous, I still respect, for we are anxious for the good of Ireland." Mr. T. Rey nolds, after some strong observations, adumbrating the Re peal of the Union, in continuation, observed, that " they would wait the experiment which was then pen ding, and every exertion they would make, and every pri vation endure, to preserve the impartial administration of the laws, which was to be maintained only by the continu ance of Lord Mulgrave in Ireland.—(Cheers.) But for his part he would make this emphatic declaration, without courting any one present to his opinion, that justice would not be rendered to Ireland but by a domestic Legislature. —(Loud cheers.) The question had been placed in abey ance, but if any man asserted that it was placed on the shelf, he was egregiously and grossly mistaken. They were making an experiment, and they would fairly work it out —but should the time come, and it was in the hands of that great political physician who had hitherto conducted them so successfully, so honourably, to the moral and poll tical regeneration of this country, with their great leader,- Daniel O'Connell, at their head, they would maintain the principle, and declare in the face of God and the world, that if justice were not . done their country, then a nation's unanimous determination would achieve and obtain a domes tic Parliament." A series of resolutions was afterwards put and carried. The meeting then separated. IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE ENGLISH DISSENTERS. The Reformers of the Queen's County, not confining their exertions to their own oppressions, are, we are happy to say, already taking measures to petition Parliament for the abolition of Church-rates in England—a requisition to that effect being in progress of signature. The English Re formers aided the Irish in their application for Corporation Reform—the Irish, by their passive resistance, having re lieved themselves from vestry cuss, disinterestedly and ho nestly come forward to pray that the Eng4sh people may also be relieved from this unjust and insulting tax.—Free anan's Journal. APPOINTMENTS.—The rumour set afloat, first by the Mail, that Mr. Lawless and Mr. Costello had been ap pointed to two offices now vacant in the Court of Exche quer, is without foundation ; and the Dublin Evening Post is of opinion that " these premature announcements of the public prints, we think, will be found to operate rather as impediments than otherwise to the wishes of the parties concerned." SECRET SOCIETY.—That there is a secret society in Dublin, and an important one, admits of no doubt. On Wednesday evening last, between five and six o'clock, the greatest excitement was caused in Aldenham terrace, Somers Town, by a report that Mrs. Ulphe, residing At No. 5, in the above street, had committed suicide. Ser geant Cooper, 19, of the S division, who was on duty in the station near at hand, at once proceeded to the house, and forcing open the second floor front room beheld the unhappy lady lying on the bed, with her throat cut in a dreadful man ner ; the floor of the apartment was literally streaming with blood. Mr. Kenny, a neighbouring surgeon, was promptly sent for, and on his arrival paid every attention to the sufferer, who was soon afterwards placed in a coach, and removed to the North London Hospital, where she lies in a very preca rious state. A razor, with which the wound was inflicted, was found on the drawers by the window, close to the bed. The reason for committing the rash act is not known. STATE OF TRADE.—Opinions were somewhat at variance as to the feeling in the Market yesterday. On the whole. however, it may perhaps be said that the better de -rAnd for cotton in Liverpool on Monday produced a some what better demand for yarns and goods here.—Manchester Guardian. _ g SILK TRADE.—Letters received yesterday from Avignon, of the date of March 22, mention that the raw article continued to decline rapidly in price ; the cau3es as %igned for which were the bad situation in which the manufac turers were placed, together with the heavy failures which had occurred of late in the London markets. Letters have been received in town which state that the young Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, whose recent attempt at Strasburg must be fresh in the recollection of the public, has been landed in safety at Rio de Janeiro. 'Flip French frigate, the Andromede, had been charged to convey him to the United States, but on the arrival of the vessel at New York, the captain found new orders from his government, by which he was instructed to convey the Prince to the Brazil's. The motives for this change of destination arc unknown. Letters from Damascus, Jerusalem, and other parts of Syria mention, in terrific terms, an earthquake which hap pened on the Ist of January at sun-set. It seems to have first shown itself to the north of the Lake Tiberius, where there are many volcanic remains and explosive elements in active opera tion. Its effects were very serious for a distance of fifty miles in every direction, and at Jerusalem and Aleppo the shock was felt. Upwards of 6,000 lives are supposed to have been lost, and much property and several villages arc totally destroyed. The festivities closed on Thursday at Woburn Ab bey, when most of the visitants returned to town. Tie party. which did not exceed twenty, consisted of Viscount Mel bourne, Lord and Lady John Russell, Marquis and Marchio ness of Abercorn, Marquis and Marchioness of Tavistock. Lord Claude Hamilton, Hon. Nrthur Gordon, son of Earl Aberdeen. Her Grace gave a ball and supper on Moody evening, and dancing, in which Lord Melbourne joined with great spirit, having Lady Georgiana Ruisell fur his partner, was sustained with great animation until a late hour. The Duchess of Bedford permitted all the domestics to join in a country dance, and for the amusement of Lord Alexander RUA. sell and the juvenile branches, the old English figure of the cushion dance was introduced. EXECUTION OF BATES FOR MURDER.—Thomas Bates, who was tried at the late Buckinghamshire Assizes, for the murder of James Giltrow, the gamekeeper to Colonel Hanmer, last August, was executed yesterday morning, in front of the Town-hall, Aylesbury. The spot opposte the place of execution was nearly filled with persons anxious to witness the awful. scene. When the order for the execution was commu nicated to the convict he did not evince any surprise, as it was an event he had expected for some time. Since his commit ment to prison his conduct has been highly creditable to him. When he was committed he could neither read nor write, both of which he could do at the time of his trial. He addressed a letter to some of his friends, in which he cautioned his brothers to give up poaching, lest it brought them into trouble like his. Mr. Sheriff, the Governor of the Gaol, and the Rev. Mr. Cox, the chaplain, paid every attention to the unhappy man that his awful situation admitted of. He never indulged in a hope of the sentence being mitigated. Generally speaking his conduct and behaviour were firm and collected. His rife took leave ol him on Wednesday. The parting caused great pain to both. lie told her that his mind was much eased by the spiritual con solation he had received from the Chaplain. During the greater part of Thursday he was attended by the Chaplain, who read with hint such prayers and portions of the Holy Scriptures as held out a chance of pardon hereafter for the crime fur which his life was forfeited to the offended laws of his country. About seven o'clock yesterday morning the officers of justice proceeded to the cell of the wretched man ; they found him perfectly resigned to his fate. He submitted to the operation of pinioning with great nerve. After the usual preparations were finished the procession moved slowly on to the scaffold. He mounted the steps without any assist ance. Ile thanked Mr. Sheriff for his kindness to him during his confinement in prison. In a few minutes the drop fell and he appeared to die instantly. After the body had hung the usual time it was cut down, and placed in a shell, preparatory to its interment in the yard of the prison infirmary. LIVERPOOL COTTON MA RKET, MARCH 30. 'We have had a dull market for Cotton to-day. The sales 2,000 bags at a slight decline in price. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MARCH 31.—His Majesty has taken his usual carriage drives during the week. To-day the - King, accompanied by Mademoiselle d'Este, drove out in a car riage in the direction of Eton. The Queen has not been out. His Majesty will go to town next Wednesday. Mr. Buchanan, Chief Agent. for Emigration in the Ca nadas, had an interview yesterday with Lord Glenelg. - Viscount' Melbourne left Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, on Thursday, for the seat of Earl Cowper, Pansbanger, Herts. Captain Bridges, Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency the Governor of Malta, charged with despatches for the Go vernment, arrived in town yesterday, and transacted busi ness at the Colonial - Office. The Chevalier de Birague left Farrance's Hotel, Bel grave-street, yesterday, for Windsor. Despatches from the Governor of New South Wales were received yesterday at the Colonial Office. Sir John, Lady, and Miss Shelley, left Belgrave-square, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Verulam, at Gor hambury Park, Herts. CIIILIAN BONDHOLDERS. TO THE EDI7' s jR'OF THE SUN. Sir,—As advertisements haveappeared calling a general meeting of the Chilian Bondholders, on the Ist of May next, to Lear the proposal of the Commissioner of the Chili Govern ment to the British creditors, I beg leave to suggest, through the medium . •of your widely-circulating columns, the following plan, as the most economical that can be adopted, and at the same time so clear, that -it cannot be. misunderstood, even by those who are most ignorant of business, which has not - been the caSl with some of the arrangements that. have been attempted on other similar'. occasions. It is, I believe, admitted on all sides that the Chili Government are now in a situation to pay the dividends regularly, and the only difficulty is as to the arrears that • have accrued, amounting to 63/. per cent. As John Bull has waited patiently so long, and now sees a really honest intention on the part of the Chili Govern ment to meet her engagements, I have no doubt but that a plan for the gradual extinction of the arrears will be satis factorily received. In adopting the follow:ug proposition, the enormous expense of creating new bonds in lieu of the Coupons will be saved, and it will also prevent the necessity of any increase to the capital of the debt, which would of Course take place by funding the Coupons, as they could not be expected to be done at a higher rate than GO or 65 per cent. The plan I suggest i 3 as follows, viz.:-- That the coupon or dividend which became due ' On March 1, 1827, be _paid on July 1, 1837 Sept. 1, 1827, - Jan. 1, 1838 March 1, 182.3, - July 1, 1838 Sept. 1, 1828, - Jan. 1, 1839 March 1, 1829, - June 1, 1839 Sept. 1, 1829, - Nov. 1, 1839 March 1, 1830, - April 1, 1840 Sept. 1, 1830, - Sept. 1, 1840 March 1, 1831, - Jan. 1, 1841 Sept. 1, 1831, - May I, 1841 March 1, I ti:32, - Sept. 1, 1541 and so continue one every fourth month during four years, and nftcrwards one every three months, until the whole arrears are liquidated. I am, Sir, yom's, very obediently, London, March 31, 1837. T. A. R. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES, WEDNESDAY.

These much talked-of races came off on Wednesday last ; cud the day being very fine, considering the late general In clement weather, an immense concourse of horsemen and pe destrians had assembled from Pontefract and the surrounding neighbourhood. The line selected was over a beautiful part of the country between Pontefract, Ilardwicke, and Charlton, to Wentbridge, a distance of four miles. The first race that came off was a subscription of 5 sovs. each, for horses that had been hunted with the Badsworth fox-hounds this seuson, each carrying 12st., excepting the winner of a steeple Chace, for which 61b. extra was carried; the last horse having to pay 5 sovs. towards the expenses. The following is the result : Mr. Chandler's eh. h. Sir Frizzle Pumpkin, aged Owner 1 —Owner 2 Mr. Edward's gr. h. Barnaby Mr. Wilmot's Jerry, aged (61bs. extra) Mr. T. Medley's eh. h. Trojan .Mr. Whitworth 4 Lord Hawke's gr. h. Angler, aged Mr. W. Nicholson 0 Mr. G. I l eale's br. ni. Lady Emily Mr. Stansfield 0 Capt. M. Ibbetaon's b. h. Gamester (61bs. ex. ) ,Air. Holmes 0 Mr. Watson's br. h. Lamplighter, aged Mr. Robson 0 Mr. Johnson's Jim Crow, aged Owner 0 The start took place in a grass field on the left of the turn pike road from Doncaster to Pontefract, in consequence of which they had to take a very high hedge—a regular hull fincher, with a large drop on the turnpike road ; after which they had to cross another road which leaps from Hardwicke to Carlton, then taking the heavy ploughed fields towards Went bridge, and winning in a field next to the river Went. The horses got well off, Trojan taking the lead at a moderate pace until they gut to the leap into the turnpike road, when Angler passed him and took the hedge in fine style, but shied at the opposite hedge, which enabled Trojan to get the lead again, which he maintained at a good pace until they crossed the next road, Sir Frizzle Pumpkin lying second, Barnaby third, Angler fourth, Jerry fifth, with the others well up. They then came again to some very heavy ploughed ground. Trojan still raking away at a good pace, the position of the others not changing till within four fields of the winning-post, where Sir Frizzle Pumpkin, who had been waiting the whole distance, passed Trojan ; but in taking the last fence but one, which wag a regular stiff one, newly topped and laid with thorns, Sir Frizzle bungled, which enabled Trojan to get well up with him, Barnaby, whose rider got rather too much to the right, also came up ; after which a beautiful race took place with the three, Sir Frizzle Pumpkin winning by only half a length. The five not place were nearly all together, but Jim Crow was the very last, consequently, his owner had 5 sovs. to pay towards the expences. The riding was very superior, and not a fall took place in the race. The winner is a very fine horse in racing condition. His success, however, may principally be attributed to Mr. Bowe, of this town, under whose unre mitting attention he has been since the 13th instant. - Lord Hawke's Silver Cup. for Farmers' horses, residing within the limits of the Badsworth Hunt, 12st. each. 11r. J. Sykes's ch. In Conservative, aged Mr. Simpson's b. h. Jasper, aged Mr. Latham's b. h. Valiant, by Rainbow, 5 yrs. As soon as the jockeys could get to the starting-post, • for this race, which took place over the same line of country as the last, the signal being given, Conservative took the lead at a very slow pace, until he got across the turnpike road, where the speed then became severe, Jasper lying second, and Variant last. In this order they came until the pace began to tell to Valiant, when Conservative took up the running, and had it all his own way, ultimately winning in a canter. Jas per, in taking the last fence but one, fell ; but Mr. Whitworth was not hurt. Valiant was beat a very long way. Owner • PIGEON SHOUTING. The Grand Pigeon Match for a superb Silver Cup and Cover, came off yesterday at the Red House Tavern, Bat tersea, and afforded a high treat to a large field of sportsmen. The prize, which was a very valuable one, was open to all England, and there was no lack of subscribers. .The beauty of the weather, and the scarcity of such matches lately, at tracted a large assemblage of persons. As the match was handicapped by distance, those who had won public prizes standing at twenty-four yards distance, and those who had not, being at twenty-one yards rise. The charge was limited to two ounces, and nine birds each. Nineteen contended :—Mr. Taylor, the winner, killing his nine ; Mr. Groom killed 8, at 24 yards; Mr. Curdle 8, at ditto; Mr. Ginger 8, at ditto; Mr. Nock 7, at ditto ; Mr. Stvayne 7, at ditto ; Mr. Ilarris 7, at ditto; Mr. flulsok 6, at 21 yards; Mr. Grad 7, at ditto; Mr. March 7, at ditto. The others declined. SriEdward Knatchhull, who left town, on Saturday „ last, tor atersham Hatch, his seat in Kent, to pass the recess, has returned to town. The Marquis of 'Exeter left Thornas's Hotel, for Burghley House, to entertain parties of sporting friends until the commencement of the Newmarket spring meeting. The Earl and Countess of Munster have left Pet worth, where they have been visiting the venerable Earl of Egremont for several days, for Brighton. Mr. Chickmareff, chamberlain to the Emperor of Russia, accompanied by M. Than, an officer of rank in the Russian army, has left Mivart's Hotel, for Dover, en route, for Paris. Baron de Herding, chamberlain to his Majesty the King of Bavaria, and who is sojourning at Mivart's Hotel, paid visits to several of the foreign diplomatists in town, yesterday. Sir Thomas Trouhridle, Bart., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, has arrived at Deal, and will meet his friends, the electors of Deal and Walmer, at the Royal Oak Inn, this evening. The Earl of Arran, accompanied by his brother, the Hon. Captain Gore, arrived in Dover-street, from a tour, TrUIk.,'SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, IS3-7, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l have read with some astonishment a statement in your paper of yesterday, respecting the nomination of Guar dians of the Poor in the Strand Union. With that statement I have nothing to do except as regards the portion of it which refers to my conduct as a candidate for the office of Guardian. It is stated that I am determined to agitate the parish and add to its expenses, although the general feeling of the Rate-payers is in favour of the late Guardians. Now, the facts of the case arc the very reverse. A Vestry Meeting was specially summoned by handball to con sider who should be nominated as Guardians to represent the Parish in the Strand Union for the ensuing year.; the result of that was, that a show of hands was taken, when the numbers were for— Mr. Walker ... 36 Mr. Charlwood Mr. Cuttriss Mr. Cooper .. 28 Mr. Yockney 27 Mr. Beaman Giving me a majority of 4 over the highest of my fellow candidates, and 11 over the lowest. The test of a vestry meeting called several days previous by handbill, specifying its object, is, I trust, sufficient to exo nerate me from the charge brought against me by the writer of the paragraph in question in the eyes of every impartial man. But if that is insufficient, I beg further to state, that I was nominated by upwards of 100 Rate-payers, or I should not have consented to be put in nomination. Your obeJient Servant, W. H. WALKER. April 1, 1837. MISS SHERIFF IN DUBLIN. It would appear that this accomplished and charm ing vocalist is making a great impression among our susceptible and well-judging friends on the other side the Channel, as the following extracts from the Dub lin papers testify. Indeed, the young lady is deserv ing of all praise. Miss Sheriff, as Rosetta, sung with great execution, and the taste which she displayed, left an impression of the most pleasing nature. The acting of Miss Sheriff was also calculated to fully satisfy, and when the curtain fell, she appeared to be at once established as a general fa vourite.—Saunders's News Letter, March 28, 1837. The favourite opera of Love in a Vil!aye was produced at this theatre last night. We have seen it sustained by an infinite variety of talent, hut seldom have we found so happy a combination of all that is most desirable in ope ratic representation, than we last night witnessed. Miss Sheriff's voice has many of the best qualifications of Mrs. Wood. Volume, compass, brilliancy, and sweetness, she is perhaps more judicious in her management of it, and is never betrayed into the extravagancies of style which dis figure the finest efforts of that inimitable songstress. Her power as an actress are of a superior order. In this re spect she has had no rival in latter years on the British .stage.---111u, wing THEATRES. DRURY LANE. Last night Mrs. WOOinlade her first before a London audience since her return from abroad, in the part of Amina, in La Sonnambula. The house was crowded in every part, and Mrs. Wood was greeted on her entrance with the most rapturous applause. She is somewhat stouter in person than when we last saw her„, and in every respect looked as one in good hwilth and spirits. Coining after Madame Malibran, and even Miss Romer, in the part of Amina, she looked,.per haps, a little too matronly for a young village girl. Her per formance was highly spirited ; her voice reta►ns all its best qua lities, and if there be any change at all, it was not perceptible by us. Remembering the power of her higher notes, we thought at first that there was a deficiency in this respect; but, in the finale of the first act, where she is discovered, after her som nambulism, in the Count's bod, her voice evinced no deficiency of strength. At the close of the first act, Mrs. Wood was loudly called for, and on her appearance before the drop scene, she received the warmest tokens of approbation. In the last scene she was very successful, especially in the pathetic solo. " Oh don't mingle one human feeling," which, notwithstanding the great exertions previously made, was sung with a sweet ness, taste, and execution which produced a great effect. Whcn the curtain fell, the air was encored and repeated. Never was a singer more rapturously applauded all through her performance. The opera was followed by a new comedietto, somewhat after the manner of Charles the Second. It purposed to em body an anecdote of Henry the Eighth's commencing reign, where the bluff young monarch, hearing that swine of his fa vourites were in the habit of maltreating his faithful Dogher ries, and ruffling the dove-cotes in the city, played the part of Harcun al Raschid, and made a nightly excursion. in the do mains of Cheap, in the appropriate disguise of a beef-eater. lie di.:covers the culptits flagrante (Nieto, and gives them a lesson accordingly. A little curtailment would improve it, and render its next representation more palatable to the audience THE FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES. 13 it ITIS tiVU N PS. Bank Stock Iper Cent.

From an article in the flandelshlad, of Amsterdam, it would appear that King William of Holland has expended the sum of 11,500,000 florins (about 23 millions of francs) in two years for war expen.es, without authority. Messrs. Van- Dam-Nan Yssclt and Van-Nes-Van Meerkerk have remon strated loudly against this proceeding in the Second Chamber of the States-General. The Bishop of Pampeluna, brother of Colonel An duani, who was taken prisoner in the Rincon, as he was cross in.,' the Ebro with Cabrera in December last. was condemned to death on the 21st instant at Logrono. The Bishop has made an appeal against his sentence, and at the same time has sent a petition for pardon to Queen Christina. It is fully ex pected that his punishment will be commuted.

We have to congratulate our readers on two most important triumphs, among many others of less mo ment, gained by the friends of religious liberty, peace, and concord over the factious or purblind supporters of Ecclesiastical oppression and all its train of disso cializing consequences. We allude to Public Meet ings in favour of the Ministerial measure for abolishing Church-rates which have been held in the City of Exeter and at Macclesfield. The public will not fail to appreciate at their just value these demonstrations of popular sentiment, on a question on which the Bishops and iheir clergy are labouring with might and main, through thick and thin, to deceive all over whom they happen to have any influence, as well as to hold up the result of this deception as a fair test of the' national opinion. Exeter, it may be supposed, is as favourable a locality for the parsons as could well be selected. It is a cathedral city, well supplied with prize-fed prebendaries, and other staff-officers of the Church Militant, to say nothing of the influence of various kinds, emanating from the episcopal palace, whose present occupant cannot be accused of want of zeal in the cause of Church ascendancy. It is, more over, that especial city which the Tories have always pointed to with feelings of seeming pride, as above all others devoted to their cause, Now, what says the ancient, populous, and influential city of Exeter to the great measure of conciliation by which it is proposed to abolish Church-rates, and at the same time to strengthen the foundations of the Church ? The following Petition is the best answer that can be given to the question—convincing it must be— satisfactory it can hardly be presumed to be to those who are so disreputably employed in deluding the public as to the feeling of the country regarding this measure, and who are maddened by every such glaring exposure of their false representations as this petition affords:— The following petition was then moved by Mr. Mark Ken. naway, and seconded by Mr. Tyrrell:— " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembQ. " 'l'hc humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the City of Exeter and its vicinity, adopted at a Public Meet ing, convened by the Mayor, and held in the Guildhall,of the said City, on Thursday, the 30th day of March, 1837 ; " Sheweth,—That your Petitioners have witnessed with much concern the evils at present arising from the imposition and collection of Church-rates ; namely, the offence thereby given to the consciences of many sincere Dissenters ; the delay and uncertainty created in providing funds for the pur poses to which this Rate is applied; and the feelings of ani mosity and scenes of strife frequently occasioned amongst parishioners. " Your Petitioners are fully impressed with the conviction that it is most desirable to put an immediate end to all these evils, by the complete abolition of Church-rates, and by pro viding less exceptionable means for supporting and repairing the fabric of Churches. Your petitioners have seen with great satisfaction that his Majesty's Ministers have proposed to introduce a Bill into your Honourtible , House, desi gne d to e ff ect t h ese o bj ects , b y su bstituting for Church-rat es a Fund, to be created chiefly by giving additional value to certain Ecclesiastical iltoperty, through an improved system of management. In the judgment of your petitioners, this proposal is well adapted to secure its main object, and to be attended with many collateral benefits. 66 Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Honourable House to give this proposed measure a favourable reception, and after all due consideration of its details, to pass it into a law, for the promotion of the interests of true religion and the peace of this country. 6' And your petitioners will ever pray, &c." Mr. W. SNELL moved that Mr: Divett present the peti tion to the House of Commons, and that Lord Brougham be requested to present it to the Lords. Be it observed, too, that the great meeting at which the above petition was agreed to, was not constituted after the Tory fashion. It was not an exclusive meet ing, called for a hole and corner pu►pose, from which all discussion is banished, and which people are told that they have no business to attend unless they enter into the views of those who have got it up. This was in the widest sense of the term a public meeting of the people of Exeter. It was summoned by the May or at the requi4ition of one hundred and ninety-six per sons, was convened in . the Guildhall, and attended both by the supporters and opponents of Church rates. The question was there brought to the test of discussion by the contending panics, and the result was an overw•heitning majority in favour of the mea sure submitted to Parliaurnt by his MAJEsTY's Ministers. We regret that we have not space to day to give even an abridged report of the interesting speeches de livered on this occasion : on Monday we shall lay them before our readers. Fur the same reason we are also compelled to postpone a report of the proceediNs at Macclesfield, where the men of Cheshire have given another signal proof of the truth of the statement made by a Right Reverend Father in God, that they are anxious for the continuance of Church-rates. The first Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the most efficacious way of advantageously promoting Railway communications in Ireland, will be found in another part of The Sun. To hazard a de cided opinion upon the result of a pending investiga tion accords neither with our duty, nor our inclina tions ; but if the germs of the system, which we dis• cover in this Report be expanded in those which may follow it, we anticipate for the Commissioners the thanks of this country, and the gratitude of Ireland. These gentlemen appear to have gone the right way to work. They inform his MAJESTY that in commoic ing their proceedings, they looked at Ireland with re ference to the amount, distribution, and employment of the population—to the value of the national traffic— its channels and emporiums. They next examined the physical capabilities of the soil, and the obstacles to the carrying of lines of road through various districts. Having satisfied themselves upon these primary points, they directed their attention to the advantages li:%ely to result from establishing a Steam communication with America from the western coast of Ireland, and we are delighted to find that their inquiries confirm all that we have hitherto advanced in favour . of the practica bility, and the great desirableness, of such an under taking. The Commissioners recommend that neither the great lines of Railway, nor the management of them when finished, shall be left to the selection and the controul of private Companies. In the good sense and sterling importance of this recommendation we entirely concur. We believe that we were the first Journal in England to insist upon the right of the Government to assume a sovereign controul over the selection and direction of all the main lines of Railway throughout the kingdom—leaving, however, to Companies and Corporations the power of extending branch communi cations, at their own risk, where no just objection to such branches were made on the part of the actual oc cupiers of the soil. In fact it must appear evident, to all who will take the trouble to reflect seriously upon this question, that if every local Company had the power of selecting the line for connecting its vicinity with the capital, or the leading emporium of national wealth and industry, the Meander never showed so many windings as it would exhibit in the course of fifty miles. The value of pig-sties and potato-gardens would be more considered than a zig-zag in the Rail way ; and thus the nation would be ruined, in the vain attempt to reconcile all individual interests with the success of a project involving the commercial prosperity of millions. To prevent imposition in the several forms enume rated by the Commissioners, we also are of opinion that the Government ought to regulate the speed and charges upon all the main lines of road both here and in Ireland. No power ought to be left in the hands of any Company capable of being_ exercised in a way calculated to impede the national prosperity. Where objections are started by Companies or individual share holders, in the case of lines approved of by Parliament, the country would gain by an arrangement enabling the Government to become the purchaser and holder of the shares thus to be disposed of. The project for establishing a Steam communication between the western coast of Ireland and America, merits all the support that the Parliament and the country can give it. We are convinced that the scheme, if tried, would be found practicable, even supposing the experiment to be made by some of the larger steamers plying in the Mediterranean. A proper Railway and Steam communication from London to Birturbuy Bay, on the extreme west coast of Ireland, would abridge, by nearly one-third, the distance to America ; and we need not add that it would take from the voyage nearly all its dangers, as that fact is already generally admitted by all who have navigated it. To Ireland the advan tages of such intercourse would be inunense. Capital would flow into the country from every corner of the old and new world, and with capital a plentiful demand fur labour. Education in its highest sense would fol low ; and in less than two generations the nation would not be behind any in Europe in the enjoyment of the blessings of peace, plenty, and high civilization. Letters from San Sebastian of the 25th ult. state, that on that day General EVANS had ordered two twelve-pounders and two eight-inch howitzers to be carried on board the Rhadamanthus steamer, and to be landed at Socoa, preparatory to a grand attack on Irun and Fontarabia. On the same day letters from Bilboa to the 22d had been received, contradicting the report of ESPARTERO'S defeat, and assuring the Anglo-Christinos that their fellow-soldiers under ESPARTERO continued in possession of Durango and Elorrio. IRRIBARREN was, on the 24th, at Larrainzar, whither he had been obliged to retire for rations for his men. The following extract from a letter, published in Galignani's Messenger of Thurs day, contains the only details of the Carlist move ments in the centre that have reached us of a latter date than the 20th ult.:— " ST. JEAN DE Luz, Mattett 25.—Espartero's troops are at Durango and El Orrio. The General himself, escorted by a battalion, is gone to Bilboa, to confer with General Seoane. On the 22d, the French Legion was attacked in its canton meats of Lizazu, at Larrainzar ; but these troops fought alone against four Carlist battalions, thus sustaining a continued at tack for four hours with admirable heroism. They at length defeated the enemy, killed 400 of their men, and captured, at the point of the bayonet, a standard and eighty prisoners. The loss of the Legion was one captain killed, eight others wounded, and about 100 men put hors de combat. Irribarren, on the 231, after having exhausted in the defiles the four days' rations he took with him, returned to Larrainzar for fresh supplies. Ile kept up a constant running fire, from eight in the morning till eight at night, against seven Carlist battalions which harassed his division. lie did them much mischief ; and 'Lis vanguard, coming in contact with four battalions which none posted in advantageous positions to intercept his passage, completely put them to the rout. Irribarren has displayed great military talent in thus leading his troops through almost impracticable defiles, impeded by the snow, and with no other loss than a few men wounded. The loss of the Carlists on the two days amounts to 900 men, without reckoning upwards of 150 prisoners ; for several charges with the bayonet, and the fire from the moun tain guns, which were served with great skill, made conside- rable havoc. The news of Espartero's defeat is completely false." General EVANS has addressed a second dispatch to ESPA RTERO, detailing more fully the events of the 16th. lie has also addressed a number of general orders to the troops under his command, the subject matter of which can be of no importance. We quote f►orn one of them a well-merited tribute to the bravery of a number of British ar►d Spanish officers, whose gallantry during the late Movement attracted the notice of General EVANS " It now but remains for the Lieutenant-general to express his warmest thanks and acknowledgments to Brigadier-Gene rals Chic!water and Fitzgerald, for the distinguished intrepi dity, zeal, and skill, which they displayed throughout the whole of the late operations, from the 10th to the 16th inst. The Brigadier-General Le Nlarchant, Adjutant-,Genera , and to Colonel Jochmus, Deputy Quartermaster-General, he is equally indebted, and owes a similar expression of ackno% ledg meas. " In the lamented fall of Colonel Oliver de Lancey, who re ceived 4 mortal wound at the head of his regiment on the 15th ;h instant, ouiv: - .rsally eEte, , med and respected as he a'as throng life, this force has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and the British army one of its most promising officers. " To Colonels O'Connell, Claudius Shaw, Malcolm Ross, Cannan, Fortescue, and Wakefield, to Lieutenant- Colonels Beelikham, Campbell, and Hogg, to Colonel de la Saussaye, Major the Baron de Uurgoldt, and Captain Serrano, of the Spanish army, attached to the staff-of the Legion, for their gallantry and conduct, the arm: of her Majesty aru much in. , debted. And the Lieutenant-General would commit en injus• tice, were he to omit expressing on this ocea3ion his high sense of the conspicuous zeal, courage, and activity constantly displayed by the officers of his personal star, both Spanish art English—Lieutenant. Colonel Don Ricardo Shelly, Lictde nant-Colonel Don Rafael Escodero y Alava, Captain lion Ig nacio Gurrea, Lieutenant-Colonel Merman, military secretary Lieutenant-Colonel Woodbridge, Major Meade, and Captain. Kent Murray, aides-de-camp." The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday hal e been received. They contain not a word of news--• foreign cy.' domestic. As for the Ministers, they Are still yoked to the same team, pulling, as usual, each against the other. Guizo'r, fearful of being deserted by the KING, is paying his court to the Duke of ORLEANS, whom he places all but on a perfect equa- I:ty with his Royal Father. Louis PHILIPPE is well acquainted with the intrigues of the Minister of Public Instruction, but he has the prudence to dissemble his feelirgs. The following are extracts from the Journals of Thursday : The letters fr: m Bayonne and Madrid had not reached ts this morning. The Carlist journals of this morning gave no thing more relative to news from the frontiers than VO:lat WC have already published after the letters from Bayonne of the 25th. We shall content ourselves with observing 't%lat a morn ing journal publishes a letter from St. Jean de Luz of the 25th, which says, " The Carlists expect the army of Espar rem°, whose troops are at Durango and Ellorio, and that that General is gone with a battalion to Bilboa, to confer with General Seoane." A letter from Bayonne of the 25th, 7 o'clock in the even ing, published by a morning paper, says that the actions of the 21st and 22d were to the advantage of Irribarren, and that the loss of the Carlists was 900 men. The Carlists said that the Christinos had withdrawn to Pampeluna. A letter from V,Ogarlos of the 23d says that two battalions had been detached tirket provisions in that city, but that it is the intention of Irribarren to maintain his position in Ulzama. The Garde Nacional of Barcelona of the 22d and 23d inst. does not contain a single remarkable fact either from Catalonia or Navarre. A great quantity of snow fell at Barcelona ou the night of the 21st. The Carlist Junta at San Lorenzo has published an order by which the drivers of beasts of burden may travel all over Catalonia on paying four piastres per month for each mule. They are, however, forbidden to travel in the districts of Tora, Sanahiefa, Bergs, Cardona, and Sol sona. A despatch from General Castellano had arrived at Barcelona on the 22d, with news from the Northern provinces of the 15th. The defeat at Hernani was therefore not known in that city at the departure of the mail.—Journal du Com merce, March 30. There is no official article in the Moniteur this morning.

The Carlists, however, still maintain that Espartero had been de feated on the 21st, near Zornoza, and compelled to re-enter Bilboa at 12 o'clock that night. The letter from Estella, dated the 23d ult., which conveys this intelligence, states that he had lost between 3,000 and 4,000 men, taken prisoner?. and would not have been able to bring to Bilboa the rest of his army if he had not been favoured by the bad weather, which was truly awful.
