In the House of Lords yesterday the Earl of RADNOR, on presenting a petition from the Under-Graduates of the Univer sity of Cambridge, praying for a revision of the statutes, took occasion to ask the Duke of WELLINGTON whether any College Reform was in progress at Oxford ? This question led to some conversation, for a full report of which we must refer to our Parliamentary intelligence. It will be seen that the Duke of WELLINGTON'S reply was not distinguished by much distinctness; " he believed that a very general desire existed to effect such alterations as appeared necessary." On the motion of the Earl of WICKLOW, a copy was ordered of the letter written by Mr. SENIOR to Lord J. RUSSELL, and all other communications which had passed between them, on the subject of the 3d and 4th Reports of the Poor Law Com. missioners in Ireland. On the motion of Lord ABINGER, the Limitation of Actions Amendment Bill was read a second time. In the House of Commons Sir W. MOLESWORTH presented a petition from Mr. SHERIDAN against Mr. BROADWOOD'S re turn for Bridgewater, on the ground that bribery and corrup tion had been practised during the late election. The valuable time of the House was then wasted by Sir ANDREW AGNEW, who pertinaciously evinced a determination to renew a discussion upon the already decided question of using railway. on Sundays. Sir R. PEEL'S remarks on the subject we•e characterised by sound sense throtighout, and his expressed opinion that encouragement of a better observ ance of the Sabbath was necessary, but that it should be by the promotion of religious feeling, is in strict unison with the sentiments ere have always maintained. Sir ANDREW subse quently gave' notice that he should move for leave to bring In a Bill to prevent travelling on Sunday on any ra il roa d i n Scotland. Th e Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway Bill was then read a second time without the prohibitory clause sought to be introduced by Sir ANDREW AGNEW. There succeeded some conversation between Mr. ROEBUCK and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, about granting a Royal Charter to the Banks of Lower Canada, and to the North American Bank. From what fell from Lord Jour.; RUSSELL relative to an adjournment of the House, Mr. ROEBUCK concluded that it was understood the House should adjourn over to-morrow, " but (said Mr. ROEBUCK) the noble lord was aware that the house never sat on a Th urs d ay, w h en i t was the Derby day. erhaps, therefore, the noble lord would give them two holy_ days." The adjourned debate on the Church-rate Bill was then re sumed, and did not terminate till Three o'Clock this morning, when the Ministerial measure was carried. The numbers were— For the Resolution.. Against it 287 282 Majority ••,,, I Her. Royal Highness the Princess VICTORIA, luiress presumptive to the Throne, attains her majo rity this day—an auspicious event which will diffuse universal joy throughout the kingdom. The city of London has very properly set the example of offering an allress of congratulation on the occasion, Mr. WiLsoN who proposed the motion observing, " with every wish that the reign of the present SOVEREIGN should he of long duration, it was a matter of pleas ing anticipation that he would in all probability be succeeded by one who had been born, and nurtured, and educated in England ; and under the care of a Mother, with whose domestic virtues the people of this country were acquainted. He trusted that in the young PRINCESS the nation would one day have a Queen, whose name might be placed next to that of ELizA -13 ETII without any abatement of reputation or glory, and he rejoiced that the Pitt NCEsS was so entirely English in her manners, habits, anti feelings." In the justice and good feeling which prompted these remarks, we cordially coincide—more especially in that portion of them where the speaker expresses his fer vent hope, that the " reign of the present SOVEREIGN tnay be of long duration." In our sanguine anticipations of the future, weshould not forget the present or the past. In looking forward cheerfully, and in a spirit of just ex pectation, to the public acts of the future Queen VICTORIA, we should not forget those of the reigning WILLIAM. If hope is for the one, memory is for the other. If the one shall enable us to reap the full harvest of Reform, we must never forget that it was the other who sowed the seeds. WILLIAM the Re former is a name clear to us all—a name surrounded with a sacred halo in our imagination--a name that we can never cease to recall with gratitude and venera tion, as long as we cherish a desire to fulfil our duties as citizens and subjects. Still the time must arrive, and that at no distant period, when our present Monarch—the most benefi cent that ever swayed the British sce p tre , w h ose w h o l e reign hith er t o has been one continued blessing to his people—the time must arrive when he must descend to the tomb of his ancestors ; and loOking forward, with regret, to that period, it may not be amiss if we indulge in a few remarks on the duties that devolve on as peculiar, as they are onerous, in their is not to be denied that the age in which VICTORIA lives, and which she will one upon to influence, is an age of unusua transition, Oki h'ithils are breaking up ; old prejudices 4way ; events arc following events with un ex7mpled rapidity ; the fountains of the rgtett t 1 c}i nee stirred ; and to arrest 0113 IttiVerni agitation, or force back public nplition into its old sleepy channel?;'; I'l6 ktger possible. The reign, thr_nrOie, of VICTORIA must, of neeessitn 11;Z , one of continued movement—of coutitmtd progress in the path of national imwett , merit. She must belong ertsentiAy to lie age ; and unlike the third and fourth GEORGES, be led to h'ek• tleti'ons by the interests of the rettl'it, instead of by the precedents of the , r.§l. More especially must her sympatli;vltVe with the Many, rather than with the rew. She must be the Queen of Grtat Britain, not the head of the Aristocracy, To support the Corinthian ; but the foundation of the sricial edifice, which is the People, is the first thing that should be looked to. The education that the Princess VICTORIA has re ceived leads us to the conclusion that, when the oppor tunity arrives, she will realize all the fondest wkhes of her subject.!, She has not been kept proudly and jealously aloof from the people ; but has mingled fa miliarly with them ; accustomed herself to their habits ; and been taught to take a deep interest in their welfare. She has not been led to believe in the doctrine of divine right and passive obedience ; but in the wholesome, constitutional creed, that Monarchs sway the sceptre exclusively for the benefit of those over whom ,the law has given them authority. English by birth, she is strictly English at heart. No prejudices of foreign growth ; no lurking habits of despotism, fostered by acquaintance with the habits of small German Princi palities, where the ruler is all in all, stand between her and the broad sunshine of popularity. It is her proudest and sincerest boast that she is in every respect an Englishwoman. Thus recommended, we feel assured that the reign of VlCTORlA—distant, far distant be its date I—will be one of unceasing advantage to her people. She will follow with eager steps in the path of WILLIAM the Reformer; and like him receive, not the cold, extorted homage, but the heart-felt gratitude of all who own her sway. The example of ELIZA BETII will kindle in her mind a generous spirit of emulation ; and when —her glorious task accomplished—she is gathered to the great anti good of past ages, she will leave behind her a name on which the historian will dwell with pride, and her subjects never recal without a tear. In no presumptuous spirit have we been led to offer these remarks : but simply because we thought them not inappropriate on a day like the present, when the voice of joy is loud throughout the kingdom ; when hope points smilingly to the future ; and when in town and country, from the palace to the hut, wherever England's dominion is recognized, and England's language spoken, the thoughts of all—the wishes of all—the sanguine anticipations of all—are directed as to one common centre, to our present Princess and future Queen, VICTORIA. May she long live to justify this strong national interest in her favour, and when she dies, may " Goodness and She fill up one monument !" The House of Commons came to a vote last night on the Church-rate question, when the Ministerial measure was carried by a majority of five. We do not conceal our disappointment at the smallness of this majority, and the country, we are sure, will par ticipate in our feeling. How Honourable Members could reconcile it with their public duty, to absent them selves from the House on an occasion which so impera tively demanded their attendance, it is not for us to con jecture. They must answer it to their constituents and that in all probability at no distant day. We can only express our hope that the men who have so basely betrayed the cause of justice and religious liberty, will at the proper time meet with their due reward. It is the duty of the Dissenters, in particular, to mark their sense of the conduct of those who have shirked this great question. Immediate steps should be taken by them to organise local associations, for the purpose of giving their support at a future election to such candi dates only as are prepared to vote for the abolition of an impost, which is no less discreditable to those who receive it, than it is unjust and oppressive to those who pay it. Some such organisation as this—some effectual me• thod of bringing the full strength of the Dissenting in terest to bear upon the Church-rate question, must, we conceive, sooner or later have been resorted to. The division of last night is the strongest possible argu ment for its instant adoption. There was little worthy of notice in the debate which preceded the division. The subject has been already so fully discussed, that it seems next to impossible to suggest an argument possessing the least claim to no velty on either side. The speeches may differ in length, or in the arrangement of their matter, or one speaker may exchange materials with another ; but when we come to examine the general result, we find no thing but the decies repiti!a—without the placcbil. Sir JANIES GRAHAM was as ponderous, as if he had had all the lead mines of Cumberland in his belly ; and every attempt on the part of the Right Honour able Baronet to interrupt, by what he imagined a bril liant sally, the sonorous indications of unconscious ness which assailed his ear from all parts of the House, proved utterly in vain. At last he gave it up for a bad job, and proceeded in his old jog-trot way, 'quali fying every now and then his staple dulness with a hearty spice of religious rancour. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S was about as unsuccessful a piece of special pleading as ever passed from his lips—. and that is saving a good deal. We see a laborious and even strained effort, ending in no result, or at least in no adequate result, and are irresistibly reminded of the mountain in labour. Mr. C. Bur, LER entered into some statistical details calculated to show the absurdity of the clamour about the want of Church accommodation, by the fact, that there is at this moment in almost all parts of the Metropolis a great deal of vacant accom modation in the Churches. But the only truly excellent speech of the night was that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to which we request the care ful attention of our readers. They will there find a complete refutation of all the factious and sophistical objections advanced against the Ministerial measure, and one of the happiest exposures we ever saw of po litical tergiversation in the remarks which the Noble Lord addressed to the Westminster apostate. TL joy of the Tories in the Commons this morn ing, on the announcement of the division, exceeded all ordinary bounds. There has been no scene equal to it in that House for many year. 3. The countenances of Mr. GoULBURN, Mr. CHARLEs Ross, and Sir G. CLERK were peculiarly refulgent—even Sir R. PEEL and Lord STANLEY displayed all the extravagance of the delightful surprise of schoolboys—the inferior class, more particularly the renegades, xvere frantic, and shouted and waved their hats, as if they saw in the dream of the moment the ‘. proximate Prime Minister" already seated on the Treasury Bench. The Liberals can well spare them this temporary and casual triumph. For more than six long years have they been doomed to the most dismal penance—scarcely a ray of hope has during all that time dawned on their care-worn coun tenances, and to grudge them a little momentary relief, under such circumstances, would betoken a hardness heart, and n want of brotherly charity, quite alien to the feelings and character of their opponents. For the sake of their future peace and comfort, however, let them not be too much elated, but consider soberly what it really is which they have gained. A question involving the personal interest of a number of Liberal Members and their con§tituents and after the most I deceitful and dishonourable means hare been resorted to for !t+e pitT;ise of in ,sicading the public, has been buried, in a Parliament chosen 'Nry Admi: tiistia.Cont by iti.a:ldity or only {lye. Have they any reason to be proud of such a result ? On the first division, tile majority was smaller than oil any great otustioo for tl!r hitt i.Wo veafs ; atid Mich We look at the clel'ectiOu I'6'o of hEAflEii, and the rettirn by die grossest bribery— the vacancy for Glasgow by the resignation of Mr. OSWALD—the absence of General EVANS, anti the il!ness of stvtral Ministerial stipporfeit, With thohi none of the Members in flit oppositt party would pair off, no great sheprise need exist that the majority is 81 small. Had there even been a majority against Ministers, there would not, under all eirenmetanees, have been any real grounds for this frantic exulta tion of the Tories and the Apostates. When they werc in office with a House of Commons elected under Treasury influence—when they had the favour of the Court—the support of the House of Louis, and nearly the whole of the Clergy and. public officers of almost every description—aid they gain one division ? And during the two years that the Whigs have been in power, have they lost one, on any Ministerial measure ? That is the real light to view the question in, and when the Tories and their new allies view it thus dispassion ately, they will find it prudent to moderate their exces sive joy. But they will only be thoroughly convinced by the results of a general election. The sooner that occurs the better. Though the very circumstance of a Ministry being able to carry on the affairs of the coun try with s Parliament chosen under hostile influence shows to careful observers the strength of their party, yet something more palpable is required to con vince not only the great body of the public, but persons in influential quarters, who bear no good will to the MELBOURNE Administration. The Tories may rest assured that Lord MELBOURNE is not to be fright ened by what they consider a victory, and that it must be some occurrence of a very different kind which will compel him to hand over the Irish people, who have so faithfully supported him, to the tender mercies of their bitterest enemies From a speech made by Saint ANDREW AGNEW, in the House of Commons last night, in support of an absurd proposition for saddling all Scotch Railway Bills with a clause against Sunday travelling, it would seem that Scotch steam carriages, like Irish bogs, are gifted with a power of voluntary locomotion, and that they occasionally traverse the country without the aid of human agency. " I can assure his MAJESTY'S Ministers," observed the pious and Honourable Ba ronet, " that there is one universal wish through. out the country, that railroad travelling on Sun days should be prevented." If this assurance be correct, the people of Scotland can have no hand in the desecration of the Sabbath ; and therefore a law upon the subject, intended to affect them in any way, is manifestly preposterous. Steam Companies do not drive their vehicles for sport ; and even if they did, where would be the injury to the morals of a people that would neither occupy nor employ them ? It ap pears evident, therefore, that the saintly Member for Wigtonshire aims only at the repression of the volun tary but graceless vagaries of Scotch steam-carriages ; and, were his proposition adopted, we should not be surprised to hear of his presenting Parliament with some legislative concoction for preventing the Sab bath roamings of the Milesian bogs, so noted for their irreligious Sunday evening frolics. But, seriously speaking, the country grows sick of the cant of Sabbath legislation. The people of Scot land are the most observant of the Sabbath of any people in the world ; and we consider it an insult to them to propose that Parliament shall pass laws to prevent them from. desecrating a day which they exceed all nations in keeping holy. If the people of Scotland be as strict on the ques tion of the observance of the Sabbath as they are represented to be, they can easily, of them selves, prevent all Sundaylravelling, without the inter- fercnce of the Legislature ; and if they be not so strict, legislative coercion will only make them hypocrites and impostors. All legislation on the subject of the ob servance of the Sabbath tends to weaken the religious sentiments of the people, by mixing up a divine ordinance with the measures of a Government, and in some sort, substituting a human for a divine law—a penalty of five pounds for the threatened wrath of the " Lord of the Sabbath." Even the Tories begin to be disgusted with Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S repeated attempts at Sabbath legis lation, although for political reasons they have hitherto countenanced his fanatical freaks in that way. It was only a few days ago that Sir GEo. MURRAY boasted that Lord JOHN R USSEL'S opposition to Sir ANDREW would cost Ministers the Glasgow election ; and yet, when Sir ROBERT PEEL rose in the House of Com mons last night, and with great good sense denounced the Agnewite Sunday policy of the Saints, Sir GEORGE was not ashamed to unsay all that he had said in sup port of Scotch Sabbath legislation. This is a sample of the political consistency, and the boasted strong religious sentiments, of the Tory understrappers. For our own part, we would rather see the Minis ters defeated in Glasgow than see them stoop to hypocritical artifices, to win the votes of a few bigots among the electors. But we have no fears upon • this head. We know that before the article which we arc now writing reach Glasgow, the electoral body shall have proved themselves worthy of the opinion which the Liberals of England and Ire land entertain of their intelligence and integrity. By the arrival at FAhnouth of his IVIA4EsTv's brig Pantaloon, from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the I.sth inst., we have received advices from Portugal, an nouncing the dissolution of the Ministry. This unex pected event, which has thrown the country into a state of great excitement, ostensibly arose out of a division in the Cortes, in which Ministers were defeated, on the question of granting salaries to six Under Se cretaries of State. The Ministerial proposition was rejected by a majwity of 47 against 39 votes ; after which M. PASSOS, accompanied by hjs colleagues, waited upon the QUEEN, and insisted upon giving in their resignations. Her MAJESTY was taken com pletely by surprise, and it was the general opinion that she would experience great difficulties in the re-con struction of a Cabinet capable of carrying on the public business, and supplying by credit the deficiency in the revenue. By many it was believed that M. PAssos was glad of some pretext for resigning, as he began to be convinced that his financial projects would all break down, leaving him exposed to the malice of the Court and the hatred of the people. The following is a copy of the last financial measure which he submitted to the Cortes before his retirement ; but upon the expediency of which the opinion of the Chamber was not taken when Ministers resigned ; “ In my expose of the 24th of April, I stated to you that did deficit in the revenue, to the 30th of June in the present year, amounted to 6,717 contos, which, with 1,835 contos due to the Bank, forms a sum of 8,552 contos, to face which it is neces sary to raise sufficient means. " Whatever measures the Cortes may adopt to cover the deficit for next year, calculated at 1,923 contos, they will not have accomplished their arduous mission so long as the back deficit continues to exist. " The payment of anterior expenses and redemption of the mortgaged public resources are objects worthy of the greatest solicitude on the part of the Cortes ; for if so great an evil be not promptly remedied, it will be impossible for the Go. vernment to fulfil its engagements, whether at horns or abroad. " I need not remind the Cortes how disadvantageous is the situation o f a G overnment which has long been destitute of means to pay its creditors, and often unable to pay even the most urgent and indispensable expenses. " It being impossible, either by retrenchment, by taxes, or by thy; slow and Oifilcolt, sale, ,t,b,e.natlon . al, property, to ob tain, thC means of covering the deficit, eniCdiatciel fo the f:ltlth of JufiC neat,. reSotiree,rematris, and that is a loan. " I loinvi. th:tt the t - tite ct afkdir4 in Spain, the Consequent depreciation of our funds, and the pror : is:oiii l , of our constitutional organisation, are obstacles which must prevent us from raising a loan at the present moment upon advanta rtmos terms but there heinff no other wpyof saving the coun try front the flidst dt'caciftii public ta6mitiet, neeesS!ty must rdree,tis to i'Olke a gaerifle,:, 11 tlitrettire piiipEiSe that the tiovertiriiefit ittithofised to contract, at home or abroad, a loan for such attic:tint as tfill produce 8,552 contos (two millions sterling) in money. This authorisation being voted, it rests with the Cortes to provide teals and means for the current year, whether by taxation, or by faiMng the Etrnottht of thepropqactl loan to such sum as will be stiflidient to cover, not only the deficit, but tile expenditure and the interest on the same loan for the first year. ( Signed) "M. DA SIL.VA PASSOS, " Lisbon, May 6." The prospect which this financial proposition opens to the view of such as aspire to the direction of affairs in Portugal is most repulsive ; nor are we surprised to find it credited, that the ex-Minister was frightened into a resignation, to escape the responsibility to which its adoption would subject. him. As everything which has reference to the financial condition of Portugal is highly important to British capitalists, we readily 'ransfer to our columns the following remarks upon M. PAssos s proposition from the Lisbon correspondence of a Morning Contemporary " As the determination of the Finance Minister to have re course to this expedient, now that the last extremity is at hand, was already known for some days, the only revelation contained in his fine confessions' is that the sum to be borrowed is to be, not two millions, but what will produce two or three millions; which, from the low state of the credit of this Government, may be five, six, or seven millions sterling. You will perceive, from the third article of the project, that some branch of the revenue is to be offered to the lenders as a guarantee. Now, in order that the English people, to whom this proposal is to be made, may know in what sort of a bottom they are invited to embark their capital, let rue just enumerate the various branches of the Portuguese revenue. Firstly, there is the receipt of Customs, which is mortgaged in Colo to the end of next September, an], in part, for six months longer. Nextly, there is the land -tax, which the Government have not ventured to collect anywhere but in the immediate vicinity of the large towns, as the people of the rural districts can only be kept quiet by not being troubled with applications on that score. Thirdly, the sum of 300,0001. annually paid by the tobacco contractors for their monopoly, and of which the greater part has been taken up in advance to the end of 1838. The other resources are too insignificant to be worth notice ; and as for that once-boasted mine of wealth, the ' national property,' Mr. Passos himself acknowledges that its sale is both difficult and slow, the fact being that the only saleable part of it is gone long ago in exchange for paper tit tiles. The whole of these together leave an annual deficit of about 466,0001., in spite of all that it has been possible to do in the way of clipping and paring in the expenditure ; and the con sequence has been that every now and then, when the troops begin to clamour loudly for their pay, the Government has been forced to raise a domestic loan on the most usurious terms to meet the pressing exigency of the moment. Their plan on such occasions is to issue bonds at a discount of 150 or more per cent., which being admissible in full payment of du ties at the Custom.house, is but a mode of drawing in ad vance upon that department." The whole of the French Papers of Monday have been received. They bring no intelligence from Spain of a later date than the accounts published yesterday. The Moniteur contains a series of Royal Ordinances, announcing a number of official appointments, none of which appear to have been dictated by political consi derations. The following extracts include all that is of any interest to English readers in these journals The route taken by Don Sebastian is at length known, and, in spite of the Carlists' boasting, that Prince is far from having effected the passage of the Ebro. He has lost the advantage of the advance of fifty hours, which he had before his departure from Hernani was known to the Queen's Generals. These, and particularly Irribarren, were prepared to dispute his pas sage. It is authentic that the Infante arrived in the evening of the 13th at Huarte Araquil, with 11 battalions, 4 squa drons, and 9 pieces of artillery ; he passed the night there, after detaching 3 battalions on Echauri, to reconnoitre the ford of the Arga, which is alw a y s we ll guarded. The next day he quitted Huarte Araquil, and marched towards Estella, and on the 15th was in tke neighbourhood of that town. General Irribarren, who returned from Pampeluna to Puente la Reyna on the 12th, was informed of the movements of the Carlists, and put himself, on the 14th, in communication with General Buerens, who is at Logrono with 10,000 men. On the 15th, the communications of General Irribarren extended as far as Vittoria, where another division was stationed. The day pre vious all the troops of Pampeluna left, with the Governor, to join the Viceroy of Navarre on the Ebro, the fords and bridges of which were watched by moveable columns, ready to concen trate at the first signal, and face the Infante. There is, then, every reason to believe that the project of incursion of the Carlists into Castile will not be realized without a battle, which they have no interest in seeking, in points where they have no retreat, in case of a check.—Phare de Bayonne, of the 18th inst. No telegraphic despatches to-day. A letter from St. Sebastian of the 15th, says, that the attack of Tolosa was anno unce d f or th e f o ll ow i ng day ; but letters from Bayonne of the 17th say that the Carlist division, commanded by Guibelalde, Iturriaga, Iturizza, and Vargus, defended the ground inch by inch at Ardouin, between Hernani and Tolosa. The Infant, Don Sebastian, was on the 14th at Estella, and his troops far from having passed the Ebro were, before the 15th, in La Borunda. This we find word•for-word in a letter from Bayonne of the 17th, coming from a quarter where all that passes in the Carlist camp may be known. On the other hand, General Irribarren writes on the 14th, in the evening, from Puente la Reyna, that he is able to pre vent the Carlists from passing the Ebro. The inhabitants were returning to Hernani, and to the vil lages frum which they fled at the approach of the Christinos. In the late actions a white and red standard was taken from the Ca lists. The journal of the Eastern Pyrenees of the 13th states that the communication between Peniscola and Valencia being im passable by land, the Captain-General applied to the com mander of the brig Alert, of the Royal Navy of France, to take on board a detachment of artillery, and convey it from Peniscola to Valencia. This request was readily agreed to, and the ship sailed on the sth of May. General Gourgaud, Aid-dc-Camp to the King, commis sioned by his Majesty to receive the Princesses of Mecklenburg Schwerin at the frontier, left Paris this morning at ten o'clock, Kith ono of his aide-de-camps.---Le Commerce. The Journal de la Guienne publishes the following let ters " BAYONNE, May 16.—1 t is known that in the night of the 11th, a Colonel seat by Cabrera arrived at the head quarters at liernani, and that an hour afterwards the troops were on their way to Tolosa ; and that on the 12th, in the evening, they - were on the road to Lecumberry. " TOLOSA, MAY 13.-1 drew our attention some days ago to the great events that are preparing. In the night of the 11th the Infante ordered the battalions under arms. Two pair of shoes were given to each man, and immediately they set out on their march. The troops that left Ilernani were com posed of ten battalions. Yesterday the Infante, with his troops, the Staff, the cavalry, and a respectable train of artillery, passed through this town, taking the road of Navarre by way of Lecumberry. The soldiers were animated with the greatest enthusiasm." Another letter from the same town, of the same date says: —" Yesterday morning, at one o'clock, the 3d, 4th, and sth battalions of Alava began to defile through this town ; they were soon followed by the grenadiers, the Ist of Castile, two Arragonese battalions; in all ten battalions, four squadrons o cavalry, the artillery, &c., his Royal Highness, his Staff, and all the Generals. There remain on the lines only Giubelalde, lturizza, Vargus, with the eight battalions of Guipuscoa, two of Navarre, and two of Biscay. They have withdrawn the artillery from the linen , and thus left the road open to the Christinos."—Gdzette de France. FRENCH FUNDS 111 AV 2?. Five per Cents., lufif. sc. 15c. 20c. 25c.

A foreigner in America expressing his surprise that the passengett 4n board a steam-boat should leave their beds in a foggy morning at four o'clotk o to watch till eight the ap pearance of the place to which they were destined, a fellow traveller replied, "If you knew my countrymen you would think it but a matter of course, that in order to arrive at nine they should rise at four. It is the nature of on American to be always in fear lest his neighbour should arrive before him. If one hundred Americans were about to be shot, they would begin for precedence, such are their habits of competition." Died on the 15th ult., Faude Fergerson, a free black of the mandingo nation, aged 130 years. He was ori ginally brought from Africa, a slave, but, like the rest of his countrymen, by dint of industry he soon obtained his freedom. It is a singular fact and worthy of remark, that on the Ist of August, 1834, there was not a single individual of the Man dingo nation in slavery on this island, they having all become free by their own exertions, industry, and good conduct.— figbart Town Paper.

His Lordship was of opinion there was no ground for the petition, and ordered it to be dismissed with costs. ROLLS COURT.--(THIS DAY.) BUOWN V. itY.NEDITII.-JUDGMENT. This was a bill filed for the purpose of establishing the right of Mrs. Ann Hall to dower out of the estate of her first husband, and have it declared that the plaintiffs were entitled to such dower. His Lordship the MASTER Cir 7 Rou,s gave judgment, and was of opinion that Mr. Hall had not rkssigned his wife's claim to dower to the plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs had no right to the relief they asked therefore the demurrer which had been put in to the bill must be allowed. LYNN V. ' , MATER AND OTIIERS.-JVDOMPNT. In this case the plaintiffs, John Lynn, and his ion, James Lynn, and the defendant Carnwath, were the joint owners of a ship Called The Friends. The share of Carnwath was mortgaged for more titan its value to the plaintiffs. They were desirous of selling the ship, and employed Mr. Lynn as their agent for that purpose. Lynn end a person of the name of John Wright, acting for himself, and, also, as it ap peared on behalf of the defendant Chater, agreed to pur chase the ship for 7501., one third of which was to be paid im mediately in cash, another third in three months, and the remaining third in six months. On the 16th August, 1833, the parties met to complete the purchase, and three bills of sale were executed. On that occasion a 2 , 1 M of 2501. was paid by Wright by a cheque on his banker, and Wright ac cepted two bills for 2501. each, drawn on him by the plaintiffs, one payable in three and the other in six months. On the payment of the 250/. and the &livery of these acceptances, the _possession of the ship was given up to the purchasers. The two bills were dishonoured when presented for payment, and Wright became a bankrupt. Upon an action being brought by the plaintiffs against Chater, he pleaded that by the exe cution of a bill of sale whereby 492/. was expressed to be paid, the plaintiffs were precluded from saying the defendant had not paid for his share for the ship. The plaintiffs being ad vised that the plea was good, abandoned their action and filed the present bill, which prayed that the defendant, Cha ter, might be ordered to pay the amount of the two bills of exchange, or that the ship should be re-sold, and the proceeds applied in payment of those bills. The defendant, Chater, alleged that by the agreement he was not to be liable to pay the bills ; that Wright had money belonging to him in his hands ; that this was known to the venders, and in conse quence thereof agreed that the bills taken in payment should be the bills of Wright alone; that he, Chater, had nothing to do with the payment of them ; and for these reasons it was contended on Chater's behalf that the bill must be dismissed, for its sole object was to obtain, as against him, payment of the money due on the acceptances. The MASTER of the ROLLS, however, thought that the reasons assigned by Chater for the acceptance of the bills by Wright alone were altogether disproved by the evidence that there was no previous agreement that Chater should be exone rated; and therefore his Lordship was of opinion that Chater remained liable for the payment of the unpaid purchase money, notwithstanding the form of the bills given for the amount. The decree must be for an account of what was due in respect of the purchase-money ; and, if that money was not paid, there would have to be a re-sale of the ship. The ship was at present in the possession of Chater, and his Lordship directed an injunction to issue to restrain him from parting with the ship until he had paid what should be found due from him.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received Jamaica Pipers to the 20th of April, from which we extract the following : " Our Colonial files do not possess their usual interest. The apprenticeship question seems to be wearing out in the Islands, much in the same way as in Jamaica. Considerable excitement exists in those districts placed under the control of ignorant, and partial, special, magistrates, and its injurious consequences are felt. Crime is said also to be generally on the increase. The scarlet fever has broken out in I3arbadoes. The small pox has made its way in almost ail the Island. His Excellency the Governor and suite embarked on April the 9th, an board the steamer Echo, on a tour round the Island." Barbadoes Papers, received to the 16th of April, have the subjoined :-- 41 A gentleman, just released from quarantine, informs us that, at the time he left Demerara, there were only two cases of small-pox, which were at the Hospital, and not a single case had occurred in the town. Our Grenada Papers inform U 3 of a fearful spreading of the small-pox in that island." By the arrival of the Lisbon mail this raornin,g, we have re ceived accounts of the resignation of the Portuguese Ministry on the 11th instant, the cause of which has not transpird. The Queen had sent for Senhor Oliveira, Deputy from Madeira, to form a new Ministry. No arrangement had taken place when the Pantaloon sailed. The Ramona Post-office packet arrived at Palmonth on the 2d inst.—left St. Thomas Ist May. The only news is that Charles Town, Nevis, is entirely burnt down, and also the Post-office. The Jamaica Mercantile Intelligences gives the Exchanges on London :—The Commissariat and Colonial Banks premium for 30 days' Bills is 18 per cent., payable in gold. The Jamaica Bank draws at 90 days, at 18 per cent. ; at 30 dais, 19 per cent. No particular coin specified for payment. Private bills at 171 per cent. THE FUNDS.

No alteration took place in the price of the Foreign Exchanges. This being settling-day in the British Market, the chief business doing is settling accounts.

LITERATURE. OPINIONS OF LORD BROUGHAM, Co!burn, London, I 837. We are surprized at the small dimensions of this , work, considering that it professes to be a record of a . l ll l the puhlie opinions delivered by Lord Brougham,' Parliament and elsewhere, during the twenty or thirtY years that he has stood forward as one of the leal statesmen and writers of his age and country. tiaia the work been in two volumes instead of one, we sh °u 0. have been better pleased ; for it would h ave been ring over with matter of the most valuable descript7; which at present is too much abridged , and dive° the fa, too meagre, aphoristic a form. . For inst ance, ramous speech on Law Reform which occupied lir wards of six hours in the delivery ; which is learned-- r chooh ts argumentative—witty—sarcastic—full of lo,t y v he and shrewd speculations—unbounded, in s hort, in.' e ran pes ge and power of its eloquence ;—this master is cut up into brief, detached fragments, a nd 10' 1 g trips within the comp skelr ass of some five or six pages ; conveying no juster idea of the original, than the .5 ton conveys of the living man. Now if eve r there Iv:, an orator whose speeches can less bear t his sort wholesale, remorseless curtailment than another, I,°rd _ ,e Broughain is that man. His eloquence is clot ' ts eloquence of words, but of ideas ; and his a r g unienh e are not summed up, and dismissed in a terse pas sa °, or two, but are spread over, and worked out throve, : pages, enriched by illustrations, and enforced by an., logics without number ; so that to give merely at% lines as a sample of their style and quality, i s like g v ` o ing a brick as a sample of a building. Of the " f leading orators of modern times, Brougham an d Can re ring, we hesitate not an instant in assigning t he P r ; ference to the former. The speeches of the one pare characterized by polish ; those of the other by e l e c i Canning seldom soars above an ingeniously turn classical common-place ; Brougham thinks for buns AS and teaches his hearers to think also. The one 'rhe grace of fancy : the other vigour of understanding• u. 5 one is limited; the other unbounded, in the range °f intellectual acquirements. Canning delights by apt re p tee, polished and well-selected phraseology, ready 1 tation, playful humour, and a display of all thos e 1 ; 4 '; nary resources which disciplined rhetoricians have el „ at command : Brougham astonishes by the lavish o'4" lence of his knowledge ; his stern and searching sar i casm ; his far-sighted views ; his original power s - e thought and style. Canning is a light and tlex terP n u e fencer ; Brougham, a sturdy gladiator. Th e P h - e wields his weapon with the grace of a Mercuti o ; t other with the energy of a Spartacus. Thnse: /rh o think that in this crude and hasty parallel, vveill accorded an undue preference to Lord Brougham' do well, before they condemn us, to peruse attentilevi this digest of his Parliamentary speeches. Here th d e i i will find specimens of every description of intellec t " - excellence ; impassioned declamation ; fancy In e/11 . . ° ,: t dized by reason ; abstruse learning that sets off; encumbers, the subject matter ; humour quaint an d" ; expected, lint never far-fetched ;—in short, 46 tio u g that breathe, and words that burn ;" and these setirert l i i er with a reckless prodigality that it were vain to lo ok out of the pages of Burke, whom in the exten t t re acquirements, though not in his imagination- - O r t h o e t il the author of the " Reflections" is re' Brougham strongly resembles. The volume is P: faced by a brief, well-written memoir of h 1 Lordsh.: and is calculated to be of infinite service, by teach! rest its readers to think, and think justly, on all the $ political questions of the day.
