Evening .. 15 minutes after r). niffritirlt taw LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1846. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Wooisaok at F4re o'clock. .Various petitions baying been presented, The Earl of CLARENDON moved for certain papers relating to Oregon. The Earl of ABERDEEN objected to go into any discussion until the negetiatons should be concluded, and assured the Ilevse that the Government were disposed to adopt any cruciiiatory measure consistent with national honour ; and if they should he ;forced into a contest, he trusted the civi liLed world would do justice to their endeavours to pre serve peace. Lcrd Bar, LICIIAINI, in common with every Christian, would regret the occurrence of war. It was a thing to be avoided, Let certainly not to be dreaded. The Noble and Learned Lord then exp7ained, with regard to the globe, published by Mr. KNIGHT, to which he alluded on a former occasion, that Mr. EA E REIT, the Ameaican Minister, was not at all to blame for the publication in question, which was a mere publisher's speculation. The motion was agreed to. After a short conversation on the subject of the expeditious manlier in which the Bellerophon had been rigged, in the course of which high enlogiums were passed on the officers and men concerned in the operation, the House adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Kr. Chair atl: our o'clock. - 7 ---- Mr. ra.v took th e oaths and his seat for Limerick. read Several railway Bills were a second time and ordered to be committed. aterwo .a r n k Mr. LCCRITART then moved, t to notice, that the punt , di oe again re- Committee on the Glasgow Iv twelve o'clock. v i ye d, and have leave to sit on Thursdaili3aot 0 7 ? t s i aid that he The Hon.

After a short discussion, the motion was agre e d to Several petitions were presented against the reorga.nitation cf the Committee. Mr. LABOUCHERE presented a petition from the 'Wat er man's Steam-packet Company, complaining of the co urse pursued to them by the authorities of the city of Lond on , and asking the House to institute an inquiry into their juris diction on the river Thame& Zir. , WysE gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday next, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to promote the extension of art-unions. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of his intention, on the second reading of the Life and Property Protection ( Ireland) Bill In move certain resolutions. Lord DuNcAN postponed, to Tuesday, the 31st of March, his_motion for the repeal of the window-tax. On the motion for the further proceeding with the repori cn the customs (the tariff) being put, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN took occasion to complain that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had not proceeded with many of the measuro that had been promised at the commencement of the ses sion. He thought the House had a right to complain of the manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet had brought, or rather neglected to bring, what he called his great scheme before the House. He was anxious to know when the whole of the scheme was to be brought forward, and he complained of the absence of the Right lion. Baronet from the House. The CirexcEr.Lon of the EXCHEQUER said that the ab sence of the Eight }lon. Baronet arose from public business. The measures that had been alluded to were in a state of pre -I)aration, and would be brought forward immediately. There was every disposition on the part of the Government to put the House in possession of all these measures in order that it might form its opinion upon them, but it was thought desirable that the iLnpettant subjects new under considera- tion should have the full and undivided attention of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr. SHAW, stated that he intended to fix the first order day after the second reading of the Corn Bill for the first reading of the Life and Property Protection (Ireland) Bill. The House then resumed the further consideration of the report on the Customs Duties (tariff). On the question that the duty be reduced on the item of silk-worm gut, Mr. CAYLEY moved that the item be omitted. After a short discussion, Mr. CAYLEY withdrew his motion, On the proposition for the reduction of the duty on for reign brandy, Mr. Alderman THoMPSON moved that the words "spirits or strong waters" be struck out. He maintained that it would be much more beneficial to take ;he excise duty off soap than do away the great income that was derived from the duty on brandy. Mr. EWART supported the reduction, and expressed a hope that it would be an inducement to France to meet this country in a similar spirit. The Marquis of GRANBY was at a loss to know upon what ground the reduction of the duty could be supported, and he should therefore give it his most strenuous opposition. Mr. CARDWELL supported the Government proposition, and after a short discussion the Hcuse divided, when the original motion for the reduction was declared to be carried by a majority of '29 ; there being for the motion 64, and for Alderman Thompson's amendment 35. Upon the proposition for taking off the duty on oxen, bulls, &c., Mr. W. MILES opposed the motion, and moved as an amendment the omission of the words oxen, cows, calves, beef fresh and salted, but not hams; which, on a division, was lost by a majority of 49. The articles, foreign hides and linen, were afterwards agreed to. — On the timber duties being proposed, Lord G. BENTINCK suggested that the farther consideration should be postponed till Monday. On the suggestion of Sir R. PEEL, Mr. PARKER postponed the consideration of his motion on railway legislation. The - Cogwhippers' Act was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report of Monday that Sir ROBERT PEEL presented from the great mercantile bodies of the city of London a most influential petition, approving of the Ministerial proposition for the enlargement of our commerce, and praying that the House would lose no time in giving effect to it, since, pending their delibera tions, the free action of trade was seriously affected. It will also be observed that immediately after Sir ROBERT PEEL had resumed his seat Lord Jose RUSSELL postponed his motion with respect to the state of Ireland until after Easter. Of the propriety of the course thus pursued by Lord Jose no doubt can be entertained; it involves more over a just compliment towards his constituents of this great metropolis, where the impolicy and evil effects of pro crastination are asssuredly more keenly felt, and justly rea soned upon, than in any other part of our empire. No debate can take place upon Irish affairs, particularly when heralded in under the auspices of so distinguished a man as the leader of the Opposition, and particularly under the unfortunate circumstances by which that ceuntry is at present so grievously visited, without being suffered to run to au inordinate length. Neither can a man of such pa triotic views as Lord JOHN be insensible to the serious res ponsibility that would be incurred by offering any impedi ment in the way of the progression of such measures as the Ministry consider to be imperiously called for to alleviate the sufferings of the Irish. This is the first step to be taken, and, doubtless, influ enced by this impression, Lord JOHN has done well in delaying the bringing on of his motion till the time he has appointed, while disease and famine are stalking through the land with giant strides, as too painfully evidenced by the papers re cently laid upon the table of the House, unhappily con firming the threatening ravages predicted by Sir Rom =T PEEL at the opening of the session. Anxious as Lord Jonx RUSSELL may be to enlighten Parliament with respect to the views his own mind has embraced touching the condition of Ireland, physical, moral, and political, and no one is better qualified to undertake so vast a subject, his sense of public duty urges him to strengthen, and not to divert the arm of the Government, stretched out to mitigate, as far as human foresight can accomplish, the heavy afflictions im pending over millions of our fellow-countrymen. Again, by the postponement alluded to, it may be taken as conceded, that, in regard to prompt remedies for pressing grievances, Lord JOHN considers the Administration entitled to approval ; still, every one acquainted with the political career of Lord Jomx RUSSELL, and mindful of the great efforts he has made at every period of his life for the redemp tion of Ireland, and to which he has resorted under circum stances of such adverse combinations of public men, sufficient to have deterred any but the strongest mind, will rejoice that, by the notice given, a pledge is secured to the country that an experienced, comprehensive, and lofty mind will soon be devoted to the exposition of views touching our future policy towards Ireland, and by which we may hope to be, in a great measure, safely led to the much-coveted work of political re generation. The state of Ireland is the great blot upon the escutcheon of England's public policy; it is a stain which (hitherto indelible) every patriot would, for the honour of his countr7, desire to remove, by almost any sacrifice that a combined spirit of philanthropy and enlightenment could devise or dictate. Foreigners acquainted with the greatness and glory of this country would not believe the degraded and re proachful condition of one-third part of our empire, were not the fact too notorious to admit of a doubt. Impressed with the deep responsibility that attaches itself to our Govern ment during the paralysed condition of Ireland, it is en livening that we have among us the forerunner of civil and religious liberty—the champion who has struck off so many disgraceful shackles under which our statute-book groaned, and by which freedom was fettered—ready to address him self to the ennobling project of extricating us from the mani fold perplexities which have hitherto beset our path of legis lation for Ireland, and who, by tracing out some clear and bold outline within which we may successfully and proudly marshal all our resources, may enable us to elevate the sister isle to a just equality with England and Scotland. A Parliamentary return, showing how much, or rather how little, of the immense sums deposited for the railway schemes now before Parliament still stands at the credit of the Accountant-General at the Bank of England, and has not been invested in Government:securities, under the provi sion of the Act 1 and 2 Vic., c. 117, would throw very considerable light on the present connexion between railway enterprise and monetary scarcity. If we are rightly in formed, above six millions of the railway deposits are still locked up, directors, who have already lost in selling out of the funds in order to make the required dope sits, being unwilling to add to the loss by investing again at the higher prices which the funds have maintained since the time for making the deposits expired, and at the risk of subsequent depreciation, in the unsettled state of do mestic as well as foreign politics. The absurdity of the ex isting regulations as to railway deposits has been frequently expressed by us. The serious consequences of their ab • surdity are no w b e i ng deeply felt. If the sums required to be paid into the Bank to the credit of the Accountant-General, could either have been paid into the Bank in the name and to the credit of the directors of the several companies, or could have been paid in Government securities, there would have been no abstraction of six millions from the circula tio.n; and he who runs may read the share which an abstrac tion of six millions from the circulation has had in bringing about the present scarcity of money and derangement of the money-market. This important ingredient in the question will, we trust, not he lost sight of in to-day's diecussior . of Mr. PARKER'S muck-needed motion. A Bill is now in - rearliament for altering tte absurd regu lations we leave been complaining of. 'Under this Bill (in troduced by Mr. Morearr and i‘.:r. GISBORNE), the moneys are to be deposited in the Bank in the names of the directors of companies, and where any portion of the sum required to be deposited by the standing orders has been pre viously invested in the Three per Cent. Console, or Three per Cent. Reduced Bank Annuities, or Exchequer bills, or other Government securities, these securities are to be taken at the price at which they were originally purchased, the price to be proved by p ro d uc ti on of t h e broker's certificate of the purchase. So sensible a Bill should meet with no opposition ; but remembering, as we do, the Chancellor of the Exchequer's complacent mode of viewing things as they are, when Mr. llama' exposed their mis chievous absurdity at the commencement of the session, we fear that Mr. MoFearr may not have so easy a task before him as he ought to have; and we trust that he will be well supported, in case of need. The motion of Mr. PARKER to clay is for a Com mittee "to consider whether precautions eennot be devised by which the effects of the railway legislation now pending on the labour and met iey markets of this country may be provided against." Let the proposal in Mr. Mooeasn'e Bill for placing the sums at tha Bank in the names of directors, instead of the Accountant-General, be carried into effect instanter, as regards schemes of this That will rAeTtoovetha session, and the immense sums now locked up will irintle (ll Y become available for the circulation of the country. money-market, ParliaParrnoe:inpte.cutisusotrdfou. great Present load from the money market. t o u n r e e o f disturbance tt,_ o things; of the i t must either hold its h ingranting Acts this session, or must come to some general of the periods for completing the lne arrangement for - onid . be the a prolongation has s im fa at l ed lines which it authorises. There can be no doubt that the first most desirable. Sir Roneaer Paso veryourereawi his approval of the couree, but his CommitteeY him; and, judging from appearances in both Helves failed L eg i s l ature appears to be committing itself more and ;no r : deeply every day to the passing of as m any li nes as possible during the present session. The country is already c 0,... mitted to an expenditure of seventy millions on s e n t .„... v _ during the next three years; the calculation of 4: aa Cost - 0 ; the railways proposed this session to Parlia:„ent (dedurti::g for competing lines) is c omputed at th.lee hundred milli ons, ' 'in the next five y ears at which would have to be found with most. Such an addition to t le demand already sanctioned on the resources of the country cannot be viewed without great alarm for the effects both on the money and the labour market, There is one point which should not be lost sight of in estimating the future difficulty of getting in calls, and it is one which will make the difficulty less. Power is now taken in railway Acts to allow interest (four per cent.) on deposits, from the time of getting the Act. This was not so with 1 the first railway Acts ; and it is not fair, therefore, to con clude, from the difficulties which attended the construction of the first railways, that there will be the same depre ciation of shares and difficulties of getting in calls with these lately authorised, or now waiting for autho risation. Four per cent. interest, though paid, as it must be, till the works are completed, out of capital, will secure shares not falling below par. We believe that the shares in all the railways authorised last session, though they have in many cases fallen considerably from the high prices of the mania season, have not fallen in any proportion to the fall in the value of scrips. But still this may only increase the disturbance in other branches of industry, by the greater cer tainty of the absoption in railways of the large amount of capital required for the schemes of the present session, of which Parliament seems, as yet, to have taken no heed, but to which we trust that Mr. PARKER'S motion will awaken their most serious attention. Immediately upon the publication of the Duke of NEW CASTLE'S recent address to the British nation it was our intention to accompany it with such commentaries as we conceive it fully demanded : circumstances, however, of in finitely larger importance have hitherto occupied both our attention and our columns, and protracted our silence as to the manifesto issued by his Grace until the present moment. On returning to this extraordinary document, we are over powered by a sense of its solemn inanity and nothing ness. We are awe-stricken by the exceeding anti quity of the thoughts contained in this redoubtable epistle ; they breath cf the black• letter generation ; they reek of the curiosity shop ; they are of a hoary east— their most glaring characteristic is senility. The next quality in the production which arrests the reader is its won derful pomp and lavish exaggeration of style—what some persons would designate " ornate." Nevertheless there appears to us something diplomatic and cunning in the manner in which the strawberry-leaves generally display a preference to the grandiloquent order of composi tion. And by this subterfuge his Grace of Clumber manages to trick out a few wretched common-places after a fashion very brilliant and showy indeed. One puff, however, from common sense !—and the tinsel work is scattered offlike chaff in a whirlwind, and the ideas are again as bald and as miserably scalped as ever. " You have witnessed," says the Right Hon. Scribe, "you have witnessed with astonishment and detestation the hideous treachery and tergiversation of public men, which burst forth suddenly upon your incredulous view in the full blaze of its triumphant deformity, supported by a shameless effrontery, unexampled in the annals of well regulated states." Here we have an aristocratic cypher, tell ing the whole British population that they view the recent occurrences in Parliament with • detestation." This is pre cisely analogous to the quack doctor insisting that his patient had pains in this joint, and rackings in that, and cramps in the other—subsiding into the stage-whisper, that if those maladies were not per ceptible " they ought to be !" " Triumphant deformity," too, is quite an original substitute for an expletive, exceeded only in its boldness by the notion of deformity " blazing," inflammatory hunchbacks, combustible hare-lips, and in cendiary club-feet, wandering, doubtless, in the imagination of the agricultural Peer during the conception of the epithet. Of his Grace's redundancy, we shall merely observe that effrontery and shamelessness appear to us synonymous; no body surely can be shameless without effrontery, neither can effrontery be manifested without some indication of shamelessness. As a testimony, however, of the necessity of this sequitur, we shall content ourselves with a simple refe rence to the Lord of Clumber. Howbeit, there can be no possible utility in instituting a literary inquisition as to his Grace's grammar. The schoolboy ferule• marks have un doubtedly disappeared long since—slate pencil is not surely a fit weapon for an oligarch. The only "forms" with which a ducal head or heart can have any sympathy whatever are the forms of etiquette, and judging from the Newcastle "complete letter-writer," we should decidedly say that even those sympathies are restricted. It is with the morale, the object, the propriety of this unparalleled epistle, that we would engage; and after the most deliberate and patient— we may indeed declare, after the most elaborate consideration of the matter—we must acknowledge that a more remarkable piece of spontaneous and gratuitous impertinence has not proceeded from the split of a goosequill within our recollection. As well might Mr. Nobody, representing the opinion of the smallest parlour in Pimlico, bellow forth his recommenda tions to the multitude of Englishman throughout the United Kingdom, for all our countrymen care, The Duke of NEWCASTLE is less than in a minority, he stands almost alone as FALSTAFF stood with his " ragged regiment" behind the copse at Shrewsbury, while the bat tle was raging gloriously in the vicinity, and i occasionally his Grace rushes in as FALSTAFF rushed in to pummel away with a " right cowardly sword" at objects beyond the power or beyond the leisure of offer ing any opposition. But upon what ostensible footing does he undertake to demonstrate the necessity of warring against the Ministerial innovations ? Why, he simply maintains protection as a gentlemanly sort of thing, he upholds it be cause it smacks not of the canaille policy, and because also of the several pints of blood he carries in his veins. According to this line of reasoning, the feudal system should be alto gether resuscitated; for agricultural monopoly is unquestion ably of feudal extraction ; we should kiss hands again with every petty baron in the realm ; regulations of matrimony itself should be tampered with by a revival of the old, monstrous statute of the bridal night. Taking this as a fundamental principle in our logic, all our modern enact ments aro mere baubles, to be ordered out by the first CROM WELL of the aristocracy. Englishmen, however, have become too discriminating in their political creed to treat platitudes (even when they are platitudes of correspondents with coronets) with anything above indifference. Mr. COBDEN has so accustomed them to sound arguments and new illus trations, that our British public have become somewhat fastidious in legislative rhetoric : it therefore behoves his Grace of Num:arras to continue henceforth silent. We have received Madrid journals of the 9th. According is one of them, the Tiempo, the Spanish Government, by way of reprisal upon England for her interpretation of the treaties respecting the admission of sugar from Cuba, has resolved to increase the tonnage on all English vessels enter ing the ports of Spain. That journal approves of this mode of retaliation, as will be seen from the following extract :-- "It appears certain that our Government has ordered that English ships, in our ports, should henceforth be treated as not belonging to the most favoured nation;' consequently, British merchantmen will pay double tonnage duties, besides paying the same import duties on British goods as are paid by other nations with whom we have commercial treaties. This measure is adopted in consequence of the interpretation given by the British Minister, Mr. Gladstone, to the treaties of this kind existing between Sp a i n and England. Accord ing to the sophistical reading of the English agent, these treaties related to persons only, and not to merchandise. Consequently, in his opinion, we have not the right of intro ducing our colonial sugars into England without payment of the sur-tax, which places them in a worse position than those of Venezeula and North America. This absurd inter pretation, supported by force, excepted by the English Minis try, and renewed by Sir R. Peel in his new financial and fiscal plan, must have been, if not approved, at least sub mitted to by us. In such circumstances the plan of Martinez de la ROS 9, our Minister of Foreign Affairs, ought to have been to make the best of the matter. In our opinion that. Minister haszcted rightly in accepting the interpretation of Mr. Gladstone, and in declaring, in consequence, the onerous treaties of commerce existing between Spain and England null and of n o f orce ." On the 9th, the Three per Cents. closed at 29A at sixty days. The Five per Cents. wore not quoted. A ;:;seussion of some interest was expected to commence yesterday, in the French Chamber, on a motion of M. BE3IUSAT, for excluding all placemen from seats in the Chamber, and an amendment, or addition, proposed by M. ODILON BARROT, for the exclusion not only of placemen, but of all persons receiving pensions from the civil list. These two classes form a large portion of the Chamber. According to a report male by M. HEBERT on the subject, 156 Members are public functionaries, who hold their ap pointments at the will of the Crown or the Minister : since 1830, 51 Deputies, who entered as independent reprementatives, were appointed to salaried offices, and 162, who held appointments were raised to higher offices, thereby increasing the power of the Crown. The amendment of M. Onreox BAstecer is strongly censured by the Journal des Debate which It de clares is made chiefly to annoy the Ktene. "The Opposition," says that paper, "thinks to make itself popular by directing its attacks egrtlnst royalty itself, for it is well understood that the incompatibility sought by M, Opttexe liAntecer is only intended to include motile five or sit 06.1.tra who have the honour of belonging to the royal household, and who do not interfere in the slightest degree with the freedom of the deliberations of the Chamber. It is in royalty that the Opposition wis l ies to create distrust. This is the pretext used to bring forward questions which politeness would fore bid even ifthe charter did not." On the reading of the minutes of proceedings which took place in the Chamber on certain questions put to M. Gurzor by the Marquis DR LA ROCHE JAQUEI/X, a little animated conversation took place, in con sequence of a strong word used by the Minister having been changed for another in the report given in the Nortitettr. It appears that M. Geneve. had said that "it could not be ex pected that France should be the haunt (repairs) of all in surrections ;" while the word substituted for this in the Moniteur was diver, or rallying point. The alteration was readily admitted, which seems to have been made in defe rence to public feeling, and the matter dropped. The Con stitutionnel thus does justice to M. GUIZOT for making the alteration : " M.

There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday; and American was well supported. Sales 5,000 b ags, nearly all to the trade. A further improvement occurred in the Share market, which wore a better appearance than for some weeks past. The following interesting intelligence shows that Canada possesses mineral wealth as well as agricultural resources : " Some of the British officers in Canada have lately made an important discovery of some of the richest copper mines in the world. This discovery has created great excitement. Some of the O'Hara, .eo route to England, will carry with them specimens of the ore; and, among them, one piece weighing 2,2001b5. The ore is very rich, yielding, 86 we learn, 72 per cent. of pure copper. Part of the copper was taken from the bed of a river, and some broken oft from a cliff on the banks. The latter is six feet long, four broad, and six inches thick." The Peterel, with advices of Jan. 25 from Rio do Janeiro, does not furnih much news. There is some satisfaction, however, in reflecting that the balance of trade was last year rather more favourable to Brazil, and the grand desideratum appears to be the formation of such a system of finance as will increase permanently, and without resort to paper issues, the national revenue of the empire. There are no other ship arrivals to-day, with late intel ligence. __ _ The English Stocks have been depressed again this morn ing, and although there has not been much doing a sale of Consols has sent down the quotation to 95% again for pre sent transfer.

This appears to be one of those cases where lenity might be shown with little danger to society. There are great doubts respecting the sanity of the convict, and besides, from his own account, he was almost driven to madness by the cruel treatment of his master. This may be true, or it may not, for any evidence produced, but it is known to many, that the life of apprentices in London is too frequently of the most dismal character, and that insults and cruelties are inflicted on young lads which almost exceed human endurance. The law has given to the master the power and authority of a parent, while he has none of those natural feelings which rarely fail to miti gate punishment. The crime, we readily admit, was very great, but when we compare it, under all the circumstances, with many of those committed by persons arrived at mature years, who have had their sentences commuted, or who have, by accident, escaped conviction, we are strongly inclined to plead for mercy to this young man, who has only entered his twentieth year. MER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Verdi's opera of Ernani, was represented last evening for the purpose of introducing three new aspirants for public favour to an English audience. They were Madame Pasini, who took the part of Elvira ; Signor Castigliano, who appeared as Ernani ; and Signor Ben chich, who was the Don Carlos. Madame Pasini is a pure soprano, with a voice of somewhat high register, and rather thin in quality. It has, however, been well regulated, and her acting is impassioned. She is moreover, a good musician; and in theconeerted piecesshe was very good, her upper notes telling with great effect. Signor Castigliano is a tenor, a pure tenor, a voce di petto. Throughout the opera he never uttered a falsetto note. He possesses considerable power ; and if he did not occasionally sing in his throat, he might take the highest rank in his profession. This throaty-singing, however, is perhaps attributable to the nervousness in separable from a first appearance. It was most con spicuous in the first act, but he gained con fidence as be went on ; and it was not at all perceptible towards the conclusion of the opera. The splendid concluding trio, "Fermi crudele estinguere," was magnificently given by Pasini, Signor Castiglione, and Fornasari, and was en thusiastically encored. Signor Benchich is a barytone or great purity and power; his singing left nothing to be desired, and if his action were a little less exuberant, and his poses not quite so angular, he would be as good an actor as he is a singer. As it is, he is a great acquisition to the company. Fornasari's Ruy Gomez was superb; that tremulousness of voice, of which some hypercritics have (in our opinion most unjustly) complained was in this character a help towards pPrf:ction; it was the tremulousness of a strongly-excited, madly-impassioned old man ; and never has the union of old age with intense passion been more brilliantly exhibited than it was by Fornasari last evening. His Ruy Gomez is a perfect triumph of art—it is equal to the Lear of John Kemble. The fine chorusses were beautifully given, and full jus tice was done to the fine accompaniments by the or chestra, under the judicious superintendence of Balfe, who entered thoroughly into the spirit of the music, and who supported the singers, and worked in the lights and shadows (as it were) of the picture, by means of the in strumental accompaniments, as only one can do who has himself been a dramatic singer, and, therefore, practically understands where the accompaniment is to be subdued and were brought out in full force, so as to produce the greatest effect as a whole. Nothing could be more musician-like than the manner in which Balfe conducted this opera. Pasini, Castiglione, and Fornasari were called for at the fall of the curtain, and received the usual homage. The delightful ballet of Catarina, with Lucile Grahn as the heroine, and Louise Taglioni as the modele concluded the performances. The house was crowded with the elite of the beau monde. FIRST CONCERT OF THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. The first Concert for the season took place on Monday, at the Hanover-square Rooms.

Williams (Stabat Mater) Overture, Lea Deux Journees Conductor, Signor Costa. This was Costa's first appearanee as conductor at these concerts, and never have the powers of the unrivalled orchestra o; the Philharmonic been so fully developed as they were that evening. His manner of directing and sub duing the orchestral accompaniments to the vocal pieces was admirable, supporting, but not drowning, the voice. On his appearance in the orchestra he was greeted with a most cordial welcome by all present, The gem of the evening was Haydn's Symphony of B flat. This, one of a set of twelve, composed by Haydn, when he was is England, for Salaman's Concerts, is, per haps, the chef d'oeuvre of the composer and it was performed last night in a manner worthy of him. In consequence of the illness of Mr. Lockey, the air, 0 cora immagine was sung by Mr. Rafter, a pupil of Signor Crevelli. Mr. Rafter's voice and style are both excellent; and we doubt not but that ere long Mr. Rafter's will be a name well known in the musical world. He was, as might have been expected, rather nervous last evening, and scarcely did himself justice. Spohr's con certo on the violin was admirably given by Sainton, who, as a violinist, is no unworthy rival of Sivori and Vieuxtemps. It was the first time of its performance in this country; we are under obligations to Mr. Sainton for introducing it. The other pieces have been so often repeated that they must be familiar to our readers. We cannot, however, emit noticing the admirable manner in which Beethoven's Eroica was given. Never before has the meaning of this magnificent composition been so fully brought out. The room was crowded to excess. The Duke ef Cam bridge and el the distinguished dilettanti in town were present. 2k; 418 EMIGRATION AND COLONI ZATION. A meeting was held yesterday at the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, " for the purpose of adopting resolu tions for providing the ministrations of religion and the means of education for our emigrant countrymen in the British colonies." The ball was crowded to excess with ladies. The LORD MAYOR took the chair shortly after one o'clock. After which the platform also became imme diately crowded. Amongst the gentlemen assembled were the Bishop of London, Lord John Russell, Monckton Milnes, Lord John Manners, the Bishop of Landaff, the Bishop of Jamaica, Archdeacon Manning, Alderman Copeland, &c. The proceedings of the day were commenced by the Lord Bishop of LONDON reading prayers, at the con clusion of which The LORD MAYOR said it was very gratifying to him to see so large an assemblage for the purpose stated in the advertisement. They would have the pleasure of hearing some of the greatest men in the City upon the subject, and it was a sense of great gratification to him or the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the world to have it in his power to place this hall at their disposal for useful a purpose, and he had no doubt that the use they would make of it would be creditable and satisfac tory to all parties.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Bishop of LONDON then rose, and having spoken in terms of high eulogium of the active interest taken in this society by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London from a very early period, he proceeded to read the first resolution, which was :—" That, while a greet present deficiency of the means of public worship end religious instruction exists throughout the British Colonies, about 40,000 persons, for the most part of the ?oorest class, annually go out as Emigrants, to settle in those countries." That resolution he thought might be objtcted to by some, and it might appear rather singular that he should call upon the meeting to vote in the effirmative of a mere statistical fact. He would rather. transpose the wording, and say, that " while 40,000 emi grants went out annually to their colonies, they were deficient in the means of public worship and instruction," a statement which certainly admitted of proof ; bet he was willing to take the resolution as it stood, and in that 'orm it involved elements of an argument the most im portant. If it were true, then, that 40,000 of he people .t this country were compelled annually to leave their homes for an uncivilised land, the question suggested itself, what provision was made for their spiritual wel 'are ?—(Hear, hear.) And when he remembered that the national income of this vast empire amounted to the enormous sum of nearly two hundred millions ; when he looked around at this, the greatest metropolis in the world ; when he saw this meeting attended by the great merchants and bank: re of the usetropoii e me: chants which had well been called the prince mercht nts of the earth ; when he remembered that the crest Creator had blessed the prowess of the British truly and navy in every part of the globe with con quest and success ; when he remembered all this, he was naturally led to ask himself, to what end bad the Almighty permitted all these blessings to fall upon this happy land? When so many of his fellow countrymen were compelled to forego the blessings f pa, e and re egion in their native soil for a distant colony, he wished he oould say that t'hey always carried out with them even :he necessary domestic comforts, but they certainly were totally bereft of the blessings of religious consolation. He wished he could say of this country what Spain boasted of in the early days of her power. He wished ate could say that. this great nation, whose dominions were so vast that the sun never sets upon them, that it had used, and was using, its power to secure to her henished children full and ample religious institutions. But it should be confessed with shame and sorrow, that in this particular they had as yet been sadly deficient. No joght reason s *night be given for this; it might be said that the troubles of th e ( ,:lhurch were many, that it had received many interruption to I:: usefulness by fie i n to the terterenee of monarchic a l governmen: ; these reasons - night be assigned for the n eg l eet attr i bute d Church, Brit let them not be teo teiete j but rattle.

He would t. 4.111; aseiet Those so cieties ; and, in doing they would be agaiiig the r--' , 41 of which they were members, The Right Rev, , Prelate then read an extra ue recent eommunica- Q',4 tion received from the Bishop of Montreal, showing the great deficiency of missionaries in that BiThopric. Ile then went ou to say, that as yet they had been able to send out to all their colonies only 300 missionaries, which was by no means adequate to the wants of the emigrants in their colonies. In Newfoundland the num- ber was greatly deficient, and it was only within the last three years that a Bishop had been appointed there, whom he had now the pleasure o f seeing at this meeting, and who bore with him proofs of the happy fruits reaped from the seeds he had sown in that colony.—(Hear.) He would not further enter into details, but he would observe, that though the subscriptions of this Society amounted to 50,000/. a year, still, when he remembered that the national revenues of this kingdom amounted to 200,000,0001, their subscriptions bore no adequate proportion to that vast revenue. If but one millionth part of the private incomes of the people of this country were but contributed, they would have a fund more than sufficient for nil their purposes. With these observations he would conclude, by moving the adoption of the resolution in the form he had suggested. Mr. E. BARING, M.P., seconded the resolution. In doing so, he said he feared it would be presumptuous in him to add anything to what had fallen from the Right Rev. Prelate upon this subject, even if he could do so ; but he had not, he regretted to say, acquired as much information upon the subject as he could Nish, and there fore he would content himself with seconding the reso lution. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Right Rev. the Bishop of JAMAICA proposed the next resolution. He said he felt happy at the honour that bad thus been conferred upon him ; but he feared he should appear to great disadvantage before this meeting after the admirable addresses they had heard, not only by reason of the physical disability under which he laboured, but also from the fact of his natural inability to do justice to the subject. But he would ob serve, that he had travelled over hundreds of miles of the Canadas, over which were scattered, thinly and dis tantly to be sure, the population, who knew nothing of the presence of either church, ministers, or teachers. In the great district of Nova Scotia also there were only 47 missionaries. In New Brunswick, a country as large as Ireland. there were but thirty ; and in Newfoundland, with a population of 100,000, there were but twenty seven missionaries. In fact, they had altogether but three hundred, while they required at least double that number. He hoped then that Englishmen would never let it be said that their countrymen in distant lands were lost by a spiritual famine.—(Hear.) The Right Rev. Prelate concluded by proposing the following resolu tion :—" That the poor labourers and workmen, who are compelled to seek an independent subsistence for themselves and their families in the colonies, and are thus deprived of the advantages provided for them at home, in their own parish church and school, have a strong claim on their countrymen for help, in providing themselves and their children with the ministrations of religion and the means of education." Lord joint RUSSELL came forward to second the resolution, and wns received with loud cheering. He said, he rose to address this meeting, not only as being connected with the city of London as one of its re presentatives in Parliament, but likewise as one who recently held a situation under the Crown, which gave him many opportunities of knowing the situation of their colonies ; and that position also afforded him the means of learning how valuable were the efforts that had been made by this society for the diffusion of the Christian religion in those colonies.--(Hear,) It was, therefore, with great pleasure that he rose to second a resolution which spoke of the advantages of givivg to the poor la bourers and workmen, who were compelled to seek an independent subsistence for themselves and their fami lies in the colonies, and were then deprived of the ad vantages provided for them at home in their own parish church and school. The Right Rev. P re l a t e , w h o h a d just addressed the meeting, had spoken most truly of those advantages, while the labourers of this country; who were compelled to seek employment in a distant land would be driven from religious instruction ; and he (Lord J. Russell) had recently received from the Bishop of New Zealand a communi • cation to the effect that that Right Rev. Prelate had heard a report to the effect that the labourers and others who had gone out to that colony from Devonshire, were calling loudly for religious assistance and instruction.— (Hear, hear.) Those men, when at home, were accus tomed to hear the sound of the bell of their village church on the Lord's-day, and to hear the Gospel from their village pastor ; and in the hour of sickness and distress, to receive religious instruction and consolation from their parish clergyman.—(Hear, hear.) And in the event of any temporal accident or misfortune, they were accustomed, in the first instance, to have recourse to their clergyman for such temporal aid as he had it in his power to give. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Was it wonderful, then, that such men should feel, in going out to a distant foreign land, desirous to have these comforts of their spiritual welfare continued to them ?—(Hear, hear.) Was it wonderful that they should wish to see their clergy and their church esta blished in that land, and have the same instruction, and receive the same assistance, which in their homes in their native land they had been accustomed to and re membered with so much affection.—(lie r, hear.) He hoped he would be permitted, in speaking upon this subject, to allude to the state of the people of other nations, who had not had the blessing of knowing what the revealed gospel was; and of other nations, which though having the revealed gospel, had not the means of receiving instruction upon it. There were some Hues in Homo-, describing the foundation of a colony by a Pagan, who built houses and surrounded the town with walls, and dried up the fields, and built a temple.— (Hear, hear.) Was it not plain from this that the founder of that heathen colony, though mistaken in his worship, yet felt that worship was duo somewhere ? (Hear, hear.) Then let them look at what had been done by their own ancestors in the time which they called "barbarous," a time when even the gentry of that day knew not the simple arts of reading and writing. Even in those days the landowners took care that in their demesnes and villages, where dwelt those tenants who wielded the spear and the shield to be prepared to fight the enemy, that they should have their village churches, and their clergymen to in struct the minds of those poor men in the adoration of God.—(Hear, hear.) If such, then, were the feelings of the Pagan founders of the barbarous chiefs, how much more anxious should they not be who, in the present enlightened age of the world, enjoJel so many of the blessings conferred by a thorough• knowledge of the divine religion.--(Hear.) The position to which he bad alluded as having held under the Crown, made him aware of the fact, that every other religious denomina tion had endeavoured to establish Christianity in the colonies. The Roman Catholics had their bishops in them ; and the Baptists, and the Churches of Scotland, and many other forms of faith, had made great efforts in this behalf ; and he rejoiced, that as regarded the Church of England, the efforts of the missionaries of that church had so far been most fruit ful.—(Hear, hear.) Time was, and that not far distant, when colonies, which then had only five missionaries, now had fifty, and in a very short time had that advance been made, and all by the aid of such societies as this.— (Hear.) And this was the only way in which it could be done. What in former times was the work of the State and the Parliament was now the result of the la bours of associations such as this.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. R. Mammas, a New Zealand director, spoke to the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The third resolution was proposed by Mr. Archdeacon MANNING, and seconded by Sir G. LARPENT, and was in - these words :—" That the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London, whose commercial inte rests are so closely interwoven with the prosperity of the colonies, are specially called upon to promote their moral and spiritual welfare." The fourth resolution was as follows :—" That a sub scription, in behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel be now opened ; and that, with a view of carrying the foregoing resolutions into fuller effect, a Central Committee of the Society be formed, for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions and donations from all classes in the city of London ; that Special Com mittees be formed in each parish or district ; and that the clergy and churchwardens be invited to act on the Committees, in their several parishes." Mr. Alderman COPELAND proposed the resolution, which having been carried, the usual vote of thanks was passed to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated. There were present at her rliskiesti's theatre last night His Royal Highness Prince George; the D u k e an d D uc h ess of Beaufort; the Marquisses of Huntley, Cl anr i carde, Tich field, and Palacino ; the Marchionesses of Douro, Worcester, and Clanricarde; the Earls of Wilton, Falmouth, Liverpool, Lonsdale, March, Chesterfield, Munster, and Cawdor ; Counts Koudraffsky, Esterhazy, and D'Astorg; the Countesses of Essex, March, Westmeath, and Clare; his Excellency the Russian Ambassador and Baroness Brunnow, and Baron Rehausen ; Lords W.

AND JUMP LEGISLATION.—The public have good reason to be dissatisfied with the eagerness exhi bited by the Government to pass the ne - v Metropolitan Bui4 ings Bill into a law. No good can possibly result from such unwise haste, and evils which might be anticipated and avoided, will most probably be produced. On Saturday last, the Bill was first published, on Wednesday it was read a third time and passed the House of Commons without the slightest discussion. A copy of it in extenso will be found in our present number, but we fear we shall fail in our object, which was to call the attention of the public to its several features, and to elicit suggestions. We are foiled in this, at all events so far as the House of Com mons is concerned. Let us hope that the Upper House will give the measure a more calm consideration, and allow of its points being discussed out of doors before it pas.ai into a law. It is greatly to be feared, that passing the Bill in question will have the serious effect of postponing the much called for evision of the existing Act. --Builder.
