The House of Lords on Thursday cattle to a resolu tion rescinding that adopted by them on the sth of June last by a majority of twelve on the Hardiage and Gough Annuity Bills. On the present occasion, which was the first division taken by the new Ministry since their accession to power, they suc ceeded by no less a majority than twenty-nine in inducing their Lordships to re-consider their former decision. The Bills are now therefore restored to the state in a hich they were sent up from the Commons, and there no longer exists the di ff erence of between the..two branches of the LEgi , tiature, which_ pi m it have proved fatal to the e ncceaA of the meamires, and which in.7,tr!it have totally dep.ll%-,A the oble• Loris of any .compensation.. whatscver . . from the country, own to the .311 c cf those who wished that they should r n ee..".:ive a higher amount. The Bills, I being tney Bills, must be passed •by th e H o use of 1 Lords in the same manner in which they come up from the other House, and any alteration or amend- i ment would certainly be rejected by the Commons, who entertain the greatestj ealousy ofany attempt to interfere with their constitutional privilege—a privilege, too, on which a great part of their power is based. We confess that we regretted the course pursued by the late Government in reference to these annuities. We should greatly have preferred that the pensions, granted by the nation in return for valuable public services rendered by the distinguished noblemen in question, should have been made without reference to, or being in any manner dependent on, the li berality testified by the East India Company, for the important results secured to them by the exert ens and bravery of those gallant officers, and That both should have been enjoyed at the same time. We do not think that there is any very great probability of similar cases again arisin g , and rewards being con ferred for equally valuable services ; but should it be so, there are few who could regret the cause of such liberality from a grateful nation. A distinction was taken in the course of the present debate between the pecuniary rewards granted by the East India Company and the nation ; in the former case they were conferred as a recom pense for the valuable services rendered by the indi viduals themselves, and would cease with the lives of the persons by whom they had been earned ; but in the latter case the reward proceeded from the Crown, the fountain of honour. by whieh the individuals were raised to the peerage, and the pensions were not intended as a reward, but merely to enable the parties to sustain, in a proper manner, the dignity of the rank to which they had been raised by the favour of her MAJESTY. ' With this view the latter pensions were continued in each case to the two immediate successors of the Noble Lords. It would appear as if the pensions might as well be made to commence after their deaths ; but the object of granting it to them at once, with ,the contingent provi sion, that so long as they received payment of the annuities granted at the same time by the East India Company, the P ar li amen t ary grant should he withheld, was to afford a precaution against any dis advantage which might ensue from having received those annuities"! from a temporary] body, the exist ence of which could not be guaranteed beyond a certain time. In this point of view, the, contingency which at first sight may appear to have the character of mean ness, and to derogate from the liberality of the country, may be justified. It was also stated by Lord RIPON that the East India Company's pensions would be payehle out of a revenue administered by them under the provisions of an Act of Parliament, which was, in fact, the revenue of the State, though managed by them ; that the Act of Parliament would expire in nine or ten years ; and that they would then cease to have any control whatever over that revenue, unless the Act was renewed. The Noble Lords would then be receiving both pensions from the nation, and there would be larger sums thus payable than had ever been granted to a Governor-General. A letter was also read from Viscountess HARDINIR, expressive of the strong anxiety felt by the family of Lord HARDING E, that on this subject there should be no difference of opinion; and that, above all, that difference should not arise on a pecuniary matter; and that, as representing Lord HA RDIN GE, they felt confident that such would be his feelings, and that on his behalf they were perfectly satisfied with the amount of the provision, and the manner in which it bad been made, and the Bill introduced. These considerations, and more especially the letter, so creditable to the Noble Lady by whom it was writ ten, must have had considerable weight with their Lordships in influencing the course ultimately adopted. We cannot regret that a collision should be spared between the Houses on so very delicate a subject, from the result (f which the Noble Lords must have been the first sufferers, as it is very doubtful if the House of Commons would sanction the introduction of new Bills if their Lordships had adhered to their amendments. A report was stated by the Earl of WICKLOW, that since the introduction of the Bills, Lord GOUGH had succecled to a property of the annual value of from 4,000/. to 6,000/. a year. We believe that such a report was not well founded : it alluded to property supposed to have been bequeathed by the late Mr. RUMMY, M.P. for the county of Carlow, but the amount of which, we hwe been informed, did not exceed 300/. per annum. The Bills may now he said to have passed with the unanimous approbation of the Crown. both Houses of Parliament, and of the whole com munity, as they on Friday obtained their third read ing., and on receiving the royal assent, will come into full operation. _ Mr. O'CoimaLL has at length replied to the letter of Lord MiLizowN, to which we caller], public at 'cention last week ; and as might have been expected from his recent declarations on the subject, he has re fused to accede to the reasonable and moderate re quest contained therein, or to postpone the repeal agitation even for an hour. Much as we respect Mr. O'CONNBLL, honest and successful as his exertions on behalf of his native land have, hitherto, undoubtedly been, and great as the experience and foresight which a man of his extraordinary sagacity and mental power must necessarily have obtained during a career of agitation, as a leader of the people for more than fifty years, we are reluctantly obliged to question the wisdom of his decision, and the justice of the grounds which have led thereto, In the first itlstance, he pays a well-deserved com pliment to 'the noble writer, assuring him that he is ooe t,i the very few to whose authority he (Mr. Onoracum.) would feel disposed to surrender his own opinion. The energy and activity with which his Lordship has ever laboured on behalf of Ireland, the liberality of his opinions, and the readiness he has, on all occasions, exhibited in joining his brethren for the redress of the grievances under which Ireland has so long been afflicted, demanded such a compliment at the hand of Mr. O'Cornann, which he was not the less willing to render, as his Lord. ship's letter contained a pledge that he would join the repeal ranks in the event of full and perfect justice not being rendered to Ireland, and the recommenda tion of Sir R. PEEL in his speech on his retiring from office being carried into execution, by her being placed on a footing of real and substantial equality with England in her civil, political, and municipal institutions, within twelve months from the present time, a pledge of which Mr. O'CoNNELL intimates his intention firmly, but respectfully, to demand the fulfilment. Mr. O'Corniem. asserts that there are not the 1 materials for even the nucleus of such an Irish party ; that, with the exceptions of Lord MILLTOWN himself, Lord CLONCURRY, and his second son, there are no others in whom the people have confidence. Surely in this he inflicts a deep injustice on the many liberal and patriotic noblemen . and Fecetattleme will n who have laboured , a re labour in g, n continue ue and toits inhabitants, the . green conscientiously opposed to the repeal, which in its results they labour on although behal f oef believe calculated seriously t'.) injure not only Great Britain, but Ireland itr,i3if, in no less a degree. They all form an Irish party, anxious to promote her welfare, her Prosperity, and happiness, to raise her in the scale of nations, and to remove all well grounded causes . of complaint. Does not the improved spirit exhibited in the Legislature when any liberal and beneficial measure is brought forward, or sentiment uttered favourable to that country, attest this? Was not the declaration of Sir R. PEEL in favour of full and perfect equality with this country, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, received with most cordial approbation by the great majority of the HOLM ? And did not the statesman who proclaimed so liberal, so just a proposition, entitle himself to a place amongst the Irish party, embodying, as it does, all that the most zealous advocate for Ireland could claim or desire on her behalf, all that Mr. O'Cox- NELL himself for many years demanded, and in the hope of procuring which he tried the various ex periments he has himself set forth in his letter, and which led to the formation of the ".National Associa tion," the " General Registry Association," and the " Eecursor _Association," the avow e d o bj ect of each i and every one of which was " to, procure a per fo n t equality of all constitutional right:; and privileges for the people of Ireland with these of E! gland and Scotland II" Are not the senators by whom the pleasing entlucik, tion was so loudly eiteded, and who thereby evinced their readiness to carry it into full and perfect execu- 1 tion, who so readily joined in tke just end proper measure for sweeping the last renment o the penal code from our statutesbook, and removing the las . t vestige of bigotry and intolerance who so readily received the measures for thelraprovement of the social relation between leattord and tenant, and protecting the latter as Lar as possible in the enjoyment of his holding, entitled also to admission into such a party. Have not the Ministry deserved some credit for what they have already effected, and for What they profess themselves ready to do? Mr. O'CoNNELL himself admits that they must make the attempt. Can he, doubt that they will do so honestly and efficiently ? They will have the energetic support of the Whig and Liberal party, of which they are at the head ; they will receive the assistance of Sir ROBERT PEEL, by whom, as he states, they have been taunted into active exertions, and his personal friends and fol lowers; and, though we confess we do not place much confidence in the promised assistance of Lord GROW:1B BRNTINCK and the protectionists, to which he also alludes, the unanimous wishes of all other sections and parties in the House, and their earnest co-opera tion with the Ministry, must render any oppo sition from that quarter useless and unavail ing. The Ministry are undoubtedly in a position of great strength on the subject of Ireland. Do not the re-elections of the new Ministry, without a single seat being lost in consequence of the accept ance of office, afford the strongest evidences that the feelings of the public at large in Great Britain are identified with the Liberal party in their wishes and intentions in respect to Ireland ? True it is that an occasional exhibition of bigotry, of intolerance, may have taken place ; but look to the uncontested return of the Secretary for Ireland, for Taunton, and the glorious and triumphant ma. jority for Mr. MACAULAY at Edinburgh, and do they not testify that those feelings were not participated in by a large proportion of the constituency in these towns ? We do hope that Mr. O'Cosaseke may him self, ere another year has elapsed, acknowledge that he was in this instance mistaken, and that when sa tisfied of his error he will give up the attempt for the dissolution of the Act of Union ; and by his great in fluence assist in cementing mere firmly the bonds of friendship that will subsist between the natiolis, and in promoting a real union, in which will exist strength and power, Accordirg to a custom which has become abso lutely habitual to the Hon. Member for Dumfries, he introduced on Friday, for the first time during this session, his educational haotion—a motion imply ing the expediency of an annual statement as to the condition and prospects of'education previous to going into Committee on the education estimates. With this primary other secondary motions were combined —as to the " formation of additional training schools, for schoolmasters to be encouraged" —as to aiding the accumulation of public libraries for the perusal of the inhabitants of the larger towns—and, finally, as to the expediency of " appointments to the subordinateoffices of Government being made, as fares possible, on the prin ciple of open examination of the respective qualifications of the candidates." A cursory survey of the somewhat desultory discussion which arose out of the scheme proposed by Mr. EWART for the adoption of Parlia ment, will amply attest the enormous discordance of opinions entertained in regard to this most important ,übject. The Hon. Member for Dumfries him ielf in sinuated that the system of education adopted in France demanded the serious attention of our Legislature, while Lord JOHN MANNERS, taking the undoubtedly clever compilation of :ti. CARMEN as his text book, inteighed upon the Gallic system as one of the most specious, but reprehensible charlatanerie. The Hon. Member for Weymouth, on the other hand, considered that the possession of a degree from the University of London should be declared a necessary qualification for any one desirous of being nominated to certain employments under Government, while Sir R. H. Isious.considered that such an arrangement wJuld prove in every respect pernicious. The Hon. Member for Montrose stoutly maintained, from cer tain statistical calculations which he had been at the trouble of making, that these islands retain a treater amount'of ignorance thatiany other country in Europe; while Mr. PETER ikiuTerwicx insisted no less emphatically that there is a greater pre ponderancu of crime in France, Spain, or Portugal than in the British Islands—two propositions diametrically at variance, one being, $ to speak, a mathematical refutation of the other. It is not, however, our intention to dilate upon this divergence of opinion as to the necessity or the particular mode of encouragement to education ; we purpose merely at this moment to direct attention to the abstract merits of the question, and to express our sympathy with the aspirations IA h:cli were uttered by the Hon. Member for Dumfries—aspirations for the earnest consideration of a suk e ect so intimately connected with the moral elevation and the social happiness of the people of this great empire. It cannot be forgotten that previous to his re-election as their representative by the citizens of the metro polis, Lord Jous RUSSELL particularly specified the education of the multitude as one of the principal matters requiring the attention and the active inter ference of Government. In his' observations upon the motion of Mr. EWART, the Prime Minister has, if possible, enforced that declaration: He acknow ledges himself " impressed with the conviction that the absolute amount of ignorance in this country is in itself a most lamentable fact ;" and the inference which can alone be drawn from such a confession, and especially when uttered by a statesman so peculiarly associated with the Reform Bill and with free trade, is, that (a grievance so intolerable existing) it must be eraai cuttd ! That is the only rational deduction from such language ; it is the only honest corollary to such a premise ! We may therefore, without much fear of meeting with disappointment, anticipate the in troduction of some wholesome and comprehensive reform. Nor are we the less sanguine upon this par ticular, when we hear the Premier declaring that the subject of education "is one in which he feels a deep interest, and which he has very much at heart;" or again, when he pronounces himself unbiassed in favour of any antiquated modes of tui tion, regarding the writings not only of CICERO to be useful, but those of JEREMY TAYLOR to be instructive. Before a very Fong period has ebiTs-Al we shall hope, with Mr. Jo. SZPIE LLLML, to sec SUO,CM. voteci for the eductition c.O the people, and considerably less than 870,000/. for 1 the prosecution and punhlenent of crime. The Duke of SAXE ColltiltG has just presented to the Assembly of the States two sills, which have been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The first declares that the property of hi mse lf and his Canny shall no longer be exempt from taxes and dues, but shall pay the same as other property. The second orders that three•fifths of the revenue of his private estate shall be set apart to pay the public debt ; and that, when the debt shall be liquidated one-fifth shall be for ever employed in relieving his subjects from taxes and contributions to that amount. Madrid papers of t he 11th have arrived.

How e\-et, it is certain that this grave attack, from a man so high in the Church, has caused a great sensation." We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The 2lfoniteur Parisien says that the pit at Fam poux, into which the carriages fell on the occurrence ofthe accident on the Great Northern Railroad on the Bth, has been carefully explored by fifteen hussars, who have plunged into every part of it, and that no bodies were remaining there. The Patrie of Wednesday evening has the fol lowing : " A report was current to-day at the Binirse that a second very serious accident had happened on the Northern Rail road. According to our usual prudence we have again ap plied at the office of the company, and th e secretary has declared to us that no news of this kind had reached it. We sincerely hope that this contradiction may not have the fate 4of that which was given a week ago." T who passed th roug h Ai x on he Dk Saturday, u and p Tj ndcei lE' v A e L dthe troops in garrison there, has arrived in Paris. Accounts have been received from Algiers to the llth. The refractory tribes in the province of C on . stantina have all submitted and pail up their contri butions, and five Arabs who were concerned in attacking a convoy of wounded soldiers have, been delivered up to the French authorities. The Courrier de la Giroede gives the following account of the state of the crops in that district :—" The 'wheat harvest has nearly terminated throughout all the depart ment, and in many places advant-ge is being taken of the fine weather to thrash the corn. Tlts operation but toofully confirms the fears entertained that the hot weather of the early part of June would affect the quantity of the crop. The potatoes looked tine at first, mid held out tavourable hopes, but at present there Is reason to tear that the quantity will not be great, but should this be the case it will be in some measure compensated for by the goodness of the quality. The field vegetables, such as beans, lentils, &c., have been So intich injured by the late dry weather that a very light crop is expected. The vine has been highly favoured by the weather of the last month, aad the late rains have tended much to improve the swelling of the fruit; its vigorous growth is a matter of astonishment even to those who daily watch its progress. From the failure in the crop of certain vineyards, and the havoc caused by the late storms, we may however calculate that this year will be but a middling one_ with regard to quantity, but there is every reason to hope that the quality will be good. If the present weather con tinues, we may expect the vintage to commence in the early part of September." Courts AUTSENTIQUE.—PARIS.

We noticed last week a strange report current in po litical circles, to the effect that Lord Arthur Lenntx had. felt himselfcompelled to leave abruptly a recent protection . ist dinner party given by Mr. Hudson, in'. conseluence-- , Of cerain remarks made by his host. We haVe - since receiVed'a letter from a protectionist partisan present at this remark able gathering, which goes far to confirm the truth of that report; for though it states that our version of the affair is incorrect, it admits the main fact, namely, that Lord A. Lennox on hearing the speech of Mr. 'Hudson in pro posing Lord G. Bentinck's health, thought it incompatible with his personal or political respect for Sir R. Peel to remain longer in the company. Our gallant correspondent tells us, indeed, that it, was not intended that Lord Arthur Lennox should have been one of the party, and that his presence there was owing to the accidental misdirection of an invita tion destined for Lord H. Lennox; but this mistake most assuredly ought not to have disentitled Lord Arthur to that gentlemanly ;:onsideration which a c' urteous hort ever extent ' s to his guest, teiiaigh he b. not a welc,me one, as in the presew instance.

DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN PAVEMENT NEAR TRE BANE. —On Friday, in making excavations for the formation of a sewer in Founders -court, near Tokenhouse-yard, between there and the Bank of England, the men discovered at, a depth of about thirteen feet from the surface, several feet of a Roman pavement. Its appearance showed that it. had been much worn. It had fottned the ground floor of some apart ment, as the walls still remained, and were constructed of Kentish rags, strongly cemented together.

In the accounts re , ceived this week, we And Various prognostications of short crops, and among them the following, by a firm in one of the southern states:— "These figures speak so conclusively for themselveg, that without entering into any elaborate argument, they must tend to place the future prospects of the planter in a more flattering light than we have been enabled to represent them for some two or three years past. The only circumstance that could materially al:ct these expectations would be the recurrence of an over whelming crop, an event which the developments of the sea son thus far scarcely lead us to apprehend. On the contrary, the accounts from various sections of the country induce us to the opposite belief, inasmuch as the cold and rainy spring has, in many portions of the cotton-growing regions, inflicted such severe injury on the plant, that without venturing oft any estimates with regard to the yield, we may be permitted to say that there is not much prospect of any great excess next season."

The third of the performances of Mademoiselle Rachel took place or. Friday. The play chosen was The ad of Corneille—that aagedy which, condemned by Cardinal Richelieu, was yet. approved of by the whole of France, and the production of which secured to the great Corneille an immortality. The story of the play is taken front the Spanish, and, alneit, it, is treated classically, the plot itself: is essentially of the romantic school. From the time of th:, prudnetkon of Le Cid, Corneille tended more and morn towar& a most fortunate thing for the Viscount Virt ,-, r Ilin - •;o, for had the tendency of the eri, t t Corn,ille been towards romanticism OP!, I , .arned Viscount wt:ulti have been forestalled, in which case, Prft'lla;s, he would have came out as the reviver of the elassic , il drana. have given us a " Cinna" instead of an ilernani." Mademoiselle Rachel acted the part of Chimene, the daughter of Don Gomez, who is betrothed to Don Rodrigue, the Cid. The father of the Cid is an old man, and Don Gomez pointedly offers him the most deadly in sult. Called on to protect the honour of his house, Don R o d r igue challenges the insulter of his fat her to mortal com bat, and Don Gomez falls. The love of Chimene for the Cid is turned to hatred—she loudly demands the death of hint who slew her father According to the laws of chivalry she is allowed a champion. She has, however, an interview with Don Rodrigue before the contest--her former love re turns, and she urges him to defend himself to the utmost. Don -Rodrigue is victorious. There is an . alarnt given of the ap proach of the Moors, Don Rodrigue defeats them, and on his return is hailed as the saviour of his country. The King ap peals to Chiniene to forego her prosecution of him—she yields at length. Don Rodrigue is pardoned, and it is understood that after a proper time shall have elapsed he is to be re.. warded with the hand of Chimene. The character of Chimene is one of strong contrasts—filial duty and love are in it constantly contending, and finely, very finely, was this combat of the passions (we should rather say the affections) delineated by Aldlle. Rachel. The character of Chimene, to the mere reader of the play, appears inconsistent and unnatural. It was the glory of MadeinuisAle Rachel last evening to reduce to unity this apparent inconsistency, and to prove that the character has hitherto appeared unnatural only because it has not been brought out fully, with All its lights and shadows properly worked in. . She was called for at the conclusion to receive the rapturous applause of one of the most crowded ant'. fashionable audiences of the season.
