The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Various petitions having been presented, Grienr rose to move that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, humbly to submit to her Majesty that this House, in compliance with the recommendation in her Majesty's most gracious speech from the Throne, has taken into consideration the frequency with which the crime of deliberate assassination has of late been committed in Ire land, and that we hope that the adoption of measures calcu lated to give increased security to life, and to bring to justice the perpetrators of so dreadful a crime, may be the result of our labeurs:; that we have also given our sanction to the measures proposed to us for relieving the distress occasioned in that part of the Usited Kingdom, by the loss of a large part of the potato crop of last season ; that having thus attended to what appear to be the most pressing exigencies of the actual condition of Ireland, we think it right hum bly to represent to her Majesty that Parliament has re peatedly found it necessary to make provision, by temporary measures, for difficulties with reference to that country, simi lar in character to those which have now demanded our at tention, grants having on various occasions been made for tile relief of the Irish people from the apprehended miseries of famine ; the Executive Government in Ireland having Also from time to time been armed with extraordinary powers for the repression of crimes • that we observe with deep zoncern that the ne cess i ty which has now again arisen for measures of this description, proves that their adoption heretofore has failed in eradicating the evils against which they were direct ed, and tha t the progress which might rea sonably have been hoped for has not Yet b4r at made in re medying the social disorders of Ireland. we are im pressed with the conviction that , under these circumstances, merely to grant pecuniary ass i stance for the relie present distress, and to pass severe laws for the detection and istitnent of cr imes, cannot be considered as fulfillgpi- the m ditties of the Imp erial Parliament towards Ireland, but that measur es ought, without furt her dela y , to be ado pted for the purpose of effecting a real and permanent improvement in the condition of this part of her Majesty's dominions. That to this end it shenld be the aim of her Majes Irish' — .Merit and of Parliatnent, by giving to the peopl e confidence in the equal administration of justice, to obtain their co-operation in the enforcement of the e l aw , and by remedying real grievances to allay evirit of discontent to which the prevalence of outrages and of vielence is to be traced : that without the co-operation of the people, the enforcement of the law must ever be uncertain and unsatisfactory,-and while the spirit of discontent con tinues to prevail, no systein of repression, however severe, • C.an be expected to prevent its breaking out from time to time in acts of outrage; that a change in the temper and disposition of the people, brought about by an improvement in the la" and -in the mode in which they are adminis tered, is therefore required for the establishment, upon a (solid foneidation, of the good order and security indispensably necessary for the development of the industry of the nation, and the improvement of its great natural resources, whereby alone the periodical recurrence of insubordination and dis tress, can effectually be guarded against : humbly therefore to assure her Majesty, that we shall be ready to co-operate with her Majesty in the adoption of measures having for their object to allay the discontent and conciliate the affec tions of the Irish people, in the earnest hope that, by the blessing of Divine Providence, peace and prosperity may thus be established in Ireland." The Noble Earl then went Into a detail of the evils under which Ireland suffered, and attributed the greater part of tleoee evils to misgovernment. The Noble Earl accounted for the failu of all past attempts at conciliating the Irish people by the fact tha: they had no confidence in the Gorerarheat, and that, cousequotip pr:. THE EITYN; LOINT1)0141; - TUESDAY MORNI vete enterprise was dead; and until they establish good order upon solid foundations, without having recourse to extraor dinary power, they never could succeed. He saw nothing in the measures proposed by the Government to inspire him with a rational hope that they would be enabled to establish good order without recourse to extraordinary measures. While a disposition on the part of the people to thwart the law remained, Coercion Bills were useless. This disposition must be changed, and it never would be changed by Coercion Bills. Like a dram to the drunkard, they afforded a tem porary relief, but they increased permanently the disease. The experiment of coercion had been tried and failed, and they must now consider the root of the evil, and endeavour to effect a reconciliation between the people and their rulers. The task was difficult, but not impossible. They had to efface the recollections of the past, and to convince the people that their rulers were abie and willing to serve them, and that the law existed for their benefit. At present the law was inadequate to secure to the poor man his rights, more particularly as related to the tenure and occupation of land. Injustice towards the poor man might take place under the present law. The statement with re gard to ejectments said to have taken place recently in Ros common might be inaccurate ; but it could not be denied that in Ireland the clearance of estates had gone on in a manner contrary to justice and humanity. It was disgrace ful to the law that such things should be possible. Im provements on estates were made in Ireland not only by the landlord, but by the tenant ; and it had happened that when a tenant had, by his industry, improved the value of his holding, he had been turned out by his landlord. These things must produce heartburnings. Then, where the land was sub-let, although the cultivator might have paid his rent, yet, if his superior had not paid the rent to the head landlord, he was liable to have his crop seized. The law was the same in England, but in England sub-letting did not exist, and therefore the evil, practically, was confined to Ire land. This law gave i ise to many cases of cruel injustice, but no redress could be obtained. The first step they should take should be to amend this state of the law. The subject was one of great difficulty, and that difficulty had been aug mented by the conduct of the Goverment, in inducing Mr. S. CRAWFORD to withdraw his Bill on fixity of tenure, on the promise that the Government would consider the subject ; and in issuing the Devon Commission, an imprudent, unne cessary, and dangerous step, inasmuch as it created expec tations in the minds of the peasantry which could not be realised, and which was followed by an impotent and abor•• tive measure, which was produced only to be abandoned. He did not charge the Government with having acted thus merely to stave off a difficult question, but he did accuse them of an unpardonable imprudence. They must deal with this question not in the spirit of real property lawyers, but of statesmen ; and a large and a real reform of the law must take place. But it would not be enough to amend the law, they must look to thespirit of its administration. In order, therefore, to make the law obeyed, they must gain the affections of the Irish people. Men's hearts could not be gained by force—they might be won back, they could not be compelled back. Repeal, he admitted, it aas impossible to grant—no one would more firmly oppose repeal than him self; but he was convinced that there never was such an agi tation as that for Repeal, which had not its foun dation in some real grievance, and the removal of the grievance would put an end to the agitation. 1 Do for Ireland all that an Irish Parliament could do for her, ' and they might depend upon it the experiment would be at tended with the happiest results. He now came to the sub. ject of the Church. Let them remember that they had de voted to the use of a minority those church endowments which had been intended for the benefit of the whole nation. He was aware of the difficulty of the ques tio❑ ; but it was one which could not be avoided or eluded, and must be grappled with. The income of the church was 600,0001. a-year, and was devoted exclusively to the religious instruction of about 700,000 people . and, in addition to this, since the union, 595,0001. had been voted to the Protestant Church—a church consisting almost exclusively of the wealthy classes, while the Catholics, the larger majority of the popu lation, and at the same time the most destitute, had received no assistance whatever, except the miser able paltry grant for the: education of the clergy. During a century and a half the Protestant Church had only been known, to the Irish people as the cause of oppression and misery. Nothing could have been more unjust or atrocious than the tithe system—a system which, notwith standing the indignant remonstances of GRATTAN, had been continued without alteration until the people, by resolutely refusing payment, had taken the matter into their own hands. and forced some" sort of reform. The welfare of the people of Ireland was sacrificed to the pecuniary interests of the Church. Could they be astonished that the Irish people regarded the existence of this Establishment as something incompatible with their well-being? He had heard a Catholic Member of the other House declare, that if they were determined to refuse any alteration in the Church Establishment, they must give up all hopes of governing Ireland except by military force; and he felt that if he were in his Noble Friend's situation, such would be his sentiments. He insisted upon the principle of perfect equality between Catholics and Protestant. It bad been proposed to devote the whole revenues of the Church to secular education. He should be sorry to see such a plan adopted, although it would be better than the present system. It had also been proposed by one, whose memory he reverenced more than any men of modern times, Dr. ARNOLD, that the Catholic should be the Established Church of Ireland, but he doubted whether such a plan ought to be adopted. It was also pro posed that no tax should be levied upon land for the main tenance of the Catholic Church, that was good as a part, but not as the whole of a plan. He thought that as a portion of the Protestant revenues fell in, they ought to be devoted to the purposes of the Catholic Church, and he believed that if it was given to that Church in a proper manner it would be accepted readily enough. Formerly they might have obtained some control ever the clergy, now it would be madness to attempt it—neither would be accepted a direct payment to the clergy, but he believed they would accept a grant made to them in. one sum, to be administered by Catholic authorities. If they endowed one Church they must endow both, and they must ac knowledge the Catholic hierarchy, and give them their proper position in society. So far did he carry things, that he should wish to see the Catholic prelates taking their seats in that House He knew that great prejudices existed on this subject, but he trusted the Noble Lords opposite, taking example by 1829 and 1846, would not again - act the parts they did in 1825 and 1841, and by pandering to those prejudices for a third time, put themselves in a false position. The Duke of WELLINGTON denied that the granting the Devon Commission in any manner pledged the Govern ment to the doctrine of fixity of tenure. Considering that the abject of the Noble Earl was to found upon this address a series of measures for the extinction of the Established Church in Ireland, he felt bound to oppose the motion. The maintenance of the Church of England in Ireland was made an object of compact in the Act of Union. It was the foundation of the union, and to destroy the Church would be tending towards the repeal of the union, which the Noble Earl was desirous of maintaining. Undoubtedly it was their duty to legislate for the benefit of Ireland, and he must say that Parliament bad done its duty on the subject. There never was a country which had so ad vanced in prosperity as Ireland had since the Union. It was true there was great poverty in Ireland, as there was in other countries, but 'lreland was also prosperous, and was setting an example to other countries at this moment of constructing railroads at the expense of private capitalists, which was done in no other country except Eng land and Ireland. The Noble Earl was mistaken in his idea of the dislike entertained by the people of Ireland to wards the Established Church. These portions of the Catholic oath relating to the maintenance of the Established Church were inserted at the petition of the Catholics themselves. Now, it was not probable that there should be a total change of sentiment on that subject. He thought the most ample concessions would not put an end to the cause of the mischief, which was the perpetual agitation for the repeal of the Union. There was no conces sion that could be nude which would not be followed by ad ditional agitation and additional discontent. Such was the case in 1829, when on the granting of emancipation the great agitator commenced agitating for a repeal of the tithes, church rates, and the union. And the Marquis of WELLESLEY, who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, had, in 1831, distinctly stated that agitation and agrarian outrage invariably accompanied each other as cause and effect, and as sure as they were to grant the mo tion of the Noble Earl, so sure would agitation recom mence for some new object. There was some cessation frem agitation in 1835 and 1836, owing, as it was supposed, to some arrangement made in London ; but in 1837 agitation recommenced, and in 1840, 1841, and 1842, the monster meetings were held, until in 1843 they were put down by proclamation. During these years the Tithe Bill and Corporation Bill were passed, and Parliament acted as if it were an Irish Parliament. The Noble Duke then enlarged upon the merits of the Church as a religious establishment, affording universal instruction, universal toleration and religious peace—advantges which he hoped their Lordships would not risk by adopting such a measure as that proposed by the Noble Earl. Earl FoaTES(L'E supported the motion. lie had given a reluctant assent to the Coercion Bill of the Government, and in order to prevent the necessity of being obliged again to have recourse to such a severe measure, he felt bound to support the present motion. Their Lordships were subsequently addressed by Earl FITZWILLIAM, Lord BROUGHAM, Marquis of LONDONDER Y, and Earl ST. GERMANS. - . . On a division, there appeared for the motion, 17 ; against 61 ; majority, 44. Their Lordships adjourned at half-past Twelve. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. VIVIAN moved the second reading of the South Wales Railway Bill. Captain BERKELEY moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. He objected to the railway crossing the river Severn by a bridge, and he was sure the Admiralty would object to a tunnel. Mr. RUSSELL said it was not the intention that the South Wales Railway should cross the Severn by a bridge, that they intended to do so by a tunnel, and that the adoption of that plan was consented to by the Admiralty. After this statement the amendment was withdrawn, and the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. On the motion for the second reading of the Midland Mil way (Oakharn Canal purchase) Bill, some discussion took place on the amendment of Mr. PACKE, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months, which ended in the mo tion being withdrawn, and the Bill being read a second time, and ordered to be committed. After a short discussion, Mr. MustTz withdrew his motion, that the minutes of evidence taken before the Sub-Committee on the petition for the West Riding Union Railway Bill, be referred to the Committee on the petition for the West Riding Union Railway Bill presented on the 10th inst. Lord WORSLEY moved, pursuant to notice, that it be an instruction to the Committee on Group No. 9 of Railways to proceed with the consideration of the Glasgow Harbour Grand Junction Railway Terminus Bill. After some dis cuss ion the motion was withdrawn. amalgam a ti on Mr ofafr; then moved for a Select Committee to considerW W. how commercial Y railways s under what regulation,. the further would be interests consistent of f i country. re- Sir G. CLE RK was a du gard to the e and general not appointme n t tfthe Committee. inclined to throw any objection in the way of the Mr. F. BARING, thou g h he o would Com mittee, thought the best course was not oppose the Corn as to throw the onus upon th e Government, as he was convinced that was the only way to ensure effectual legislation. Sir R. PEEL was assured that the House would find some dificulty in adopting the p ro p ositio n for the Committee with out some modification, because they had already consented to the appointment of a Committee on the m • otion of the Hon. Member for Inverness. Unless some distinct line was drawn between that Committee and the one now proposed, he was assured the greatest confusion would take pl ace . After some discussion, in which Mr. Fox MAULE, Lord EBRINGTON, Mr. HODGSON HINDE, Sir GEORGE GREY, an d Mr. PAKLNGTON took part, Mr. P. M. STEWART suggested that a Group should be appointed to consider the -amalgamation Bills alone ; the Group to consist of five members. He believed by the adop tion of that course the hest results would be effected. After some further discussion, in which Mr. MORRISON, Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEZ, and Mr. HustE, took part, nr, rArrvi o g4 tbat had 31,1tereci Wo mai" in a way that he trusted would meet with-the approbation of the House. He now proposed to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the principle of of amalgamation of the Railway and Canal Bills now under the consideration of Parliament. The original motion was then withdrawn, and the amended one agreed to. Mr. llusix asked the Noble Lord, the Secretary of the Board of Control, whether any dispatches had been re ceived by the Government, relative to the statements that had appeared in the papers in Paris, with respect to India • and. also, whether any attempts had been made by the dovernment to establish an overland post for India through Trieste. Lord JOCELYN said that the mail had not arrived, and no dispatches had been received. As to the rumours in the Paris papers—the mail was not ex pected to arrive before to-morrow. With respect to the other question, it was under the consideration of the Go vernment. Sir R. PEEL said that the telegraphic message which had appeared in the drench papers had been communicated to her MAJESTY'S Minister in Paris, and there was, therefore, every reason to believe it was correct. Lord PALMERSTON wished to put a question, of which he had given notice, to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, relative to the state of the relations with this country and Buenos Ayres. He wished to know whe ther this country was at war with Buenos Ayres or not; and if not, whether the acts that bad been committed in the River Plate had been approved of by the Government. Sir R. PEEL said that it had been with great reluctance that her Majesty's Government had contented to any inter ference of a forcible nature with Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. Notwithstanding what had taken place, he considered that this country were not at war; there had been no declaration of war; there was, it was true, a blockade ordered of certain ports in the River Plate, but he did not consider that that necessarily im plied a state of war. With respect to the ques tion, whether the operations of a hostile character had received the previous sanction of the Government, all he bad to say was, that no other instructions than those already laid on the table had been sent out. The expedition that had taken place up the River Parana, had not been con templated by the Government. Upon the question of the second reading of the Corn Im portation Bill, petitions were presented in favour of the mea sure by Mr. Sharman Crawford, Sir R. Peel, arid Mr. Etwall. Several petitions were also presented against it. Upon the question that the Bill be now read a second time, Mr. E. YORKE opposed the proposition, and moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. He trusted that every means that Parliament allowed would be adopted to defeat this measure. Sir J. Y. Buller, Mr. Paeke, Mr. Cholmondeley, and Sir R. Inglis, supported the amendment; and Mr. M'Geachy, Mr. F. Maule, Mr. G. Vernon, Captain Berkeley, and Mr. Childers, spoke in favour of the Bill. On the motion of Lord POLLINGTON, the debate was ad journed till to-morrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. The telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, which ap pears in another part of The Sun, will afford great satis faction to the public. The intelligence from the Punjaub and the British army on the banks of the Sutlej, has ever since the arrival of the last mail been anxiously expected, partly on account of the desperate resistance anticipated on the part of the Seikhs, the dreadful loss of life in the late battles, the report of the defeat of the division under Sir HENRY SMITH, at Loodianab, and the total uncertainty as to the plans of the Governor-Gene 1. All this anxiety has been completely removed by favourable news just received. According to the statements in some of the Indian papers, Sir HENRY SMITH, on the 21st, moved his brigade up the Sutlej, driving the enemy before him, when he came upon one of their fortified positions which fired grape shot among the British troops. Some of the na tive regiments, it was said, threw down their arms, while another account stated they had gone over to the Seikhs, and left the battle to two European regiments, and the commander of the division under such circum stances withdrew his troops. The Agra Uhbar called this retirement a defeat, and the rumour of the defeat in creased in strength on its way to Bombay. We at tached no credit whatever to the report, partly from the manner in which it was given, and from a full conriction of the loyalty of the Sepoys so remarkably displayed on the 21st and 22d of December. We were correct in the view taken of this af fair. Not the slightest allusion is made to it in the French telegraphic dispatch, and had there bee❑ any details unfavourable, we may take it for granted that they would not have been omitted. On the con trary, it is admitted that a great victory has been ob tained by this very division, that the Seikhs, at a place called Alivert (near the bridge over the river at Pliiloor, we presume, though it is not given in the best maps), were driven/across the Sutlej, leaving behind them al their artillery, and losing a great number of their troops. We have here only another proof that this law less horde of robbers, who are said to be disciplined, cannot stand before regular troops, and that a few Bri• tish regiments, supported by the brave Sepoys, can put twice their number to flight whenever they come fairly into contact. The result, as well as the dispatch altogether, affords great ground of satisfaction with regard to future operations. The battle took place on the 29th of January, more than five weeks after the victories at Moodkee and Feroaeshah, thereby showing that Sir HENRY HARDINGE is resolved not to commence the in vasion of the Punjaub till he has his whole force con centrated, and till Sir CHARLES NAPIER has reached the scene of warfare. He is evidently maturing his plans, and making preparations for taking vengeance in a manner that cannot be mistaken for this wanton, cruel, and unexpected attack upon peaceable neigh bours. Looking, therefore, at the present position of affairs, at the large force under his command, the strong batteries forming, and the powerful Sinde division under its gallant leader, we may, therefore, anticipate by the next mail the most important and favourable intel ligence. Our columns of Saturday contained the report of the case of "Woo Latex and others a. TOBY," which illustrates most forcibly the proverbial uncertainty of the law, and promises a geodly crop of litigation ; so that, if the numerous schemes which came before the public in the course of the last autumn did not prove very profitable to the parties embarking therein, there is at least every prospect of their doing so to the gentlemen of the long robe. It has been the first attempt to recover, by legal process, the deposit on shares allotted in pursuance of a letter of application, and seems to be in direct oppo sition to the principle of the case of HODGSON V. SPOTTIS WOODE, some:few weeks since reported in our columns. The present case was an action by the directors of the Direct Exeter and Plymouth Railway Company against a gentleman to whom forty shares had been allotted ; it appeared that his application was made on the 13th of October, and that the allotment was not made until the 15th of December, mow than two months afterwards, and long subsequent to the occurrence of the panic, which nipped so many promising schemes in the bud. Shortly after the date of the letter of allotment a new circular is issued, calling upon the allottees to pay a sum of three shillings per share on the amount of their re spective shares, on which they would be indemnified from all further liability thereon. All the elements of the former case of HODG• SCN V. SPOTTISWOODE, in which the allottee was held entitled to recover back from a member of the committee of management the entire sum paid by her as deposit, where the scheme was not carried into execution, existed in the present one. There had been a change in the committee of management, two gentle. men having retired subsequent to the application, and Previous to the allotment the full number of the shares had not been allotted, no scrip was ever issued, no share was in existence, and yet the defendant has been held liable to pay the full amount of the deposit claimed, 21. 12s. 6d. per share, when three shillings only was demanded from him, and which sum he can of course on the authority of HODGSON V. SPOTTISWOOIDE recover back from the company (with costs) when paid. We cannot believe it possible that this ver dict can be allowed to stand, that this litigation in a circle can be continued. To what extent can the doctrine be carried? If once it is at all recog nised, we shall have the projectors of the numerous defunct schemes turning with new vigour upon the various allottees ; persons, who had the shares come out at a premium, or had the undertaking proved a prosperous one, would probably never have had an answer to their applications, and whose request was complied with at the twelfth hour, will now be compelled to share in the amount of the expenses (in many instances most reck lessly) incurred. We did not at that time see allotments of 500 or 1,000 shares to the solicitor, or secretary, or others of the earlier promoters. No, the public indeed get tie full benefit of the scheme such as it was, and we may, per haps, yet see promoters of bubble schemes realising a considerable profit to themselves and their friends out of lines which it was never contemplated should be carried further than the allotment of the shares. We sincerely trust that a satisfactory conclusion may be come to, and that the decision of the full Court, de liberately arrived at after solemn argument, and not with the hurry which inevitably attends all nisi prius decisions, will settle the law on this interesting and important question. As we have so repeatedly taken occasion to comment upon the general character which the great commercial revolution of 1846 will obtain in history, and the con sequent blessings which it will entail upon posterity, any additional observations may at first sight appear somewhat superfluous. Scarcely anything indeed should induce us to recapitulate our sentiments upon this extra ordinary epoch. C erta i n l y, not hi ng o f an or di nar y kind could persuade us to utter once more those generalised views upon the free-trade victory entertained by ourselves, and with which our readers must be now tolerably well acquainted. Nevertheless, $ is impossible to avoid euzue itllusiqh, however momeu. tarp, to the expressions employed by a Contemporary, when analysing the present " State of Parties." Those expressions are so terse, so happily grouped, so discri minating, and so suggestive of thoughts to the peruser. Our epithets bear reference to a paper published in the recant number of the Westminster Review, and, if merely in commemoration for the twentieth or the hundredth time of men whose mea sures have rendered them for ever illustrious, or, if simply as illustrative of much candour in a political essayist, some especial mention of that disquisition ap peared to us as absolutely necessary. Never did a no bler theme for the philosopher present itself than the an nihilation of all restrictions upon commerce, viewing that annihilation (the commencement of which will date from the opening of the present session), as generative of a principle, to quote the language used by Mr. COBDEN on January 17, " which shall act on the moral world as the law of gravitation in the universe; drawing men to gether, thrusting aside the antagonism of race, and creed and language, and unitingus in the bonds of eternal peace." This is the most correct, as it is the most stupendous, aspect of free trade and its effects upon after genera tions ; and, considering the matter precisely in this aspect, the time, the words, and the men leading to its realisation, are surely not altogether unworthy of scru tiny and of a repetition of scrutiny. "We have opened another page of human history," says the Westminster Review ; " with the new year we see the inauguration of a change in the policy of nations, the greatest perhaps oa record ; a change differing from all the occurrences of the past, and, as it will be seen in the future, momentous in its results. At length, and for the first time, in a bond-fide sense, we abandon the principle of aggression and retaliation. A moral revolution is accomplishing. In the present state of parties we see signs of the progress of opinion, as incon testable and as marvellous as a direct revelation of the Divine will. A great victory has been won ; but when we look back upon the obstacles over come, old-world traditions, class-privileges, public apathy, the impression made upon the mind is one less of exultation than the thankfulness of devo tional feeling." The consequences to be deduced by time from the operation of the Ministerial measures are not in this paragraph over-estimated or exaggerated to a single tittle —no, not one jot. Not only is the pre sent a great " moral revolution," but it is, without the most shadowy question, the greatest moral revolu tion (strictly of human origin) which has hitherto transpired in the records of the most remote or the most civilised nations. As the French revolution, par excellence; was nurtured in a loathing for bodily sub jection, and matured from a sheer concupiscence of cruelty and lust and power, so has this revolution against a vile system of monopoly, by which incalculable evils have been showered upon our forefathers and upon our selves, germinated in an instinctive reverence for the laws of nature, and the precepts of OMNIPOTENCE ; and been conducted to its present prosperous issue by a zealous love of justice and brotherhood amongst mankind. What MIRABEAU and FoUQUIER TINVILLE and DANTON, were to the former half-glorious, but wholly diabolical revolution, COBDEN, and BRIGHT, and VILLIERS have been to a glorious, and a beneficent re volution. Nobly have they deserved of their fellow countrymen, and nobly will they be eulogised as worthy instruments to a grand end, by after times. In the panegyric upon RICHARD COBDEN, at page 226 of the Review, and which our readers may remember, as transcribed a few days since in our columns, we recognise one gleam of the honour which will be coupled with his name in future ages. And this, because the principles, towards the acknowledgment and acceptation of which his energies have been in such a remarkable degree conducive, are, in the strictest sense of the word, cosmopolitan. Of Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose name, from circumstances partially fortuitous and partially neces sary, will be mainly and illustriously identified with the triumph of free-trade, our reviewer speaks, if possible, with double emphasis and with double propriety. " Sir ROBERT PEEL stands upon high ground. His present measures are wholly free from the imputation of party tactics. As a Minister he gains nothing and risks everything, by his determination to carry out a prin ciple. He knows that, to attain that one object, he alienates friends and creates enemies, who may at any moment combine with his old opponents against him. To see this without recognising honesty of inten tion (now at least, if not before), and moral courage sustainirg that honesty of intention, would be to convict ourselves of moral blindness." " Pos terity will not occupy itself with the vascillations and defects of the present generation of statesmen. It will remember, as we remember of the past, great names only as connected with great deeds ; and the greatest achievement of this age is that which destroys the 'feed power' of a banded oligarchy, breaks up monopolies, and proclaims the rights of peaceful industry. With this the name of Sir ROBERT PEEL must now be inseparably connected, and it is a great honour ; there can be no higher reward for personal ambition." In the utmost limit of these expressions the vast bulk of Englishmen now living and yet unborn will ae quieece ;—a thought pregnant with incitement to one labouring for a great achievement amidst the debris of many gigantic factions, and fraught with consolation to one subjected to incessant vituperations! It is in this utter dismemberment and assimilation of parties that one of the chief benefits of the movement consists. " There can be no more exclusively Tory or exclusively Whig Cabinets," says the reviewer; this is an inference too manifestly correct to require the authority of further argument; and in its veracity is centred the welfare of future millions. It is in the consideration of the character of Lord PALMERSTON that we cannot induce ourselves for a single moment to coincide with the Westminster Review, otherwise its strictures are dictated with much discrimination and impartiality. The fact of the vic tory, however, will constitute its noblest history; the enumeration of those statesmen who have shared in its achievement will form their truest, and surest, and most imperishable eulogium. Accounts from Madrid of the 16th announce the for mation of a new Ministry. NARVAEZ, it is thus seen, constructs a Cabinet with wonderful dispatch. On the 12th MIRAYLORES and his temporary colleazues were told they were no longer wanted, and three days after their places were supplied from a list most probably drawn up before their dismissal. Of this new Cabinet NARVAEZ is the chief and at the same time acts as Mi nister for Foreign Affairs. Senor ORLANDO, a devoted adherent of the Captain- General, is Minister of Finance, Burtoos, who filled that department in the reign of FER DINAND, succeeds ISTURITZ as Minister of the Interior, D'EGANA, formerly editor of the Correo National, is ap pointed Minister of Grace and Justice, and General PENZITELA, a Carlist, Minister of the Marine. All the members of ROSA'S Cabinet aro excluded, and NARVAEZ has so far attained his objeot. On the 14th the Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 28 15-16 for the SOth of April ; the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 21i for the 30th of April ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, 255 ; ditto of Isabel, 168, &c. In the French Chamber of Peers the discussion on the Secret Service Money Bill was brought to a close on Friday evening, and on a division the numbers were for the Bill 106, against i t 22; majority for Ministers 84. Thi speech of VICTOR HUGO, on the Polish insurrection, was listened to with great attention, and is much praised for its noble sentiments, as well as moderation. " Two nations," he said, " for the last four centuries, had played a disinterested part in European civilisation— France and Poland. The former had shed light on all sides; the latter bad kept back the incursions of barbarism. France had been the missionary of civilisation, and Poland its knight-errant. When a people had done well to humanity, it resembled a man who has done good service to his fellow-men. Gratitude was due to it ; and if, in the course of time, it by chance fell away from its lofty position, it still remained surrounded with that halo of glory which memory shed around it 1 Such was the case with Poland 1 She was still great and noble, notwithstanding her partition. And why was she so? Because she had bean always most useful to European civilisation—because she had bravely defended it when threatened eighty years back; when she was struck from the list of nations, a universal regret was manifested. The remorse of FREDERICK was caused by his having mutilated that kingdom, and the regret of NAPOLEON by not having restored it to its former rank. lie (M. V. lItico) was not one of those who counselled an European conflagration. Writers, thinkers, philosophers, were men of peace. If he raised his voice at present in favour of this unfortunate nation, it was not to urge ether na tions to war, but to protest against the late attack on Europa!' civilisation. He could see nothing more odi ously inimical to peace and civilisation than the fact of the Austrian Government having excited the lower classt s in Gallicia against the nobles. What, then, was it he asked from the Chamber? Not to furnish fleets, or armies, or wealth, but to nobly put forward their great moral ascendancy. A protest ought to proceed from that as sembly—the tribune where he stood ought not to remain mute ! What he demanded was a moral intervention — that their voices should reach abroad, and that this truth should be heard —that a nation could not be effaced with impunity from the map of the world. In such a mani festation every party could join. The influence of France was great. France had inherited the power of Rome in the middle sips, and possessed at present the G I MARCH 24, LAI, same authority in civilisation as Rome had dens in re• ligious matters I Let, then, France speak, and much would be done ! That was the intervention which he demanded, and the Chamber might rest satisfied that it would be of powerful effect." These sentiments were loudly cheered. On Saturday, in the Chamber of Depu ties, General JACQUZMINOT brought forward a motion to increase the number of officers in the National Guard of the Seine, when M. ODILON BARROT took the opportunity of blaming the Government for disbanding the National Guards in several of the provincial towns. The motion of General JACQUZININOT, it was understood, would be carried. The following dis patch, received by the French Government, brings news from Algiers up to the 16th instant. It will be seen from it that ARD EL-KADER has again escaped from his pursuers, probably to surprise them in some other quarter:— " PintrIGNAN, MAncit . lB.—The Montezuma, which left Algiers the day before yesterday, arrived to-day at Port Vendre. General De Bar writes to me from Algiers on the 16th. On the 7th Colonel Crmon retook from Abd- el- Kader, on the south of Bugler, the booty he had carried otr from our allies. General Jussef attacked the Emir on the 13, eighteen leagues to the south of Zahzz, and captured his baggage and mules, which were en their way to Boucads. Abd-el-Kader saved himself with great difficulty. Lieutenant Lacoste and the interpreter Levy were rescued, both severely wounded. Marshal Bugeaud was expected at Algiers on the 17th or 18th.' We regret to find that on Saturday a fatal railway accident occurred on the Paris and Rouen line. A special train, which left Paris on Saturday morning, with the Government Commissioners sent to inspect the Fortifications at Havre, ran against a diligence mounted on a truck, which had been carelessly left on the rails. The diligence, which contained twenty-two pasengers, was completely destroyed ; three persona in it were killed and four wounded. We have accounts from Berne to the 16th inst. The Constituent Assembly was opened on that day by a speech from the Avoyer M. DE TAVEL, which he con eluded by a prayer to the ALMIGHTY to bless its labours. The Assembly afterwards proceeded to instal its provi sional board, and Messrs. SCHNEIDER and FUNK, the Radical candidates, were elected—the first President, And the second, Vice-President. M. NENHAUS only obtained eight votes, and M. BLOESCH three. The Com mittee charged with drawing up the project of regula tions for the Constituent consisted of Messrs. SCHNEIDER, FUNK, STCEMPFLI, and KOHLER. " On the 18th," writes the correspondent of the Journal des Debate, " Divine service will be celebrated in the Catholic and Protestantfchurches, previous to the opening of the ses sion. A solemn sermon will afterwards be preached in the cathedral by the Protestant minister WZYERMANN, who bas acquired a great reputation for sanctity in Switserland by heading a free corps in the expedition against Lucerne." On Saturday the Funds and Share-market was very firm on the Paris Bourse. The following are the prices of the Funds:— Five per Cents., 120 f. 50c. 55c. ; Four per Cents., 126 f. 50c. ; Three , . . , per Cents., 84f. ; Bank Actions, 3,400 f. ; Rente de Naples (Roths chilal, 101 f. 50c. ; Rotnans, 101 U ; Belgian Bank, 945 f.: Belgian Five per Cents., 1840, 1024; ditto, 1842, 103% ; Bpanish Passives, 5 1 ,4 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 1845,.37%.

PILESENT To Hart MAJESTY.—Some time after the passen gers of the unfortunate Steamer, the Great Liverpool, had been safely landed, it occurred to the late Captain M'Leod that it was possible to save from the wreck a box which had been specially consigned to his care, containing a present to her Majesty from a wealthy native merchant of Bombay. Captain M‘Leod, accompanied by the chief officer, Mr. Hamilton, and two of the crew, got on board the steamer, and cut through the deck to the place where the box was deposited, and with great danger and difficulty got it on shore, and from thence it was conveyed with the mail boxes to Corunna, and consigned to the care of the consul, who fearing it might have been damaged by being so long under water, unpacked the box in the presence of the captain and officers. Although it was inclosed in many cases, the water bad penetrated through them to the morocco case, which was richly ornamented with the royal arms of England. The present consisted of a large sized and richly wrought gold box, an exquisite specimen of Eastern work manshipZ worthy of Benvenuto Cellini ; the box was sup ported by four stands in the form of snakes, and it contained several dresses of the most elegant and costly fabric, worked by the needle, and of cobweb texture, but the salt water had penetrated, and the consul's wile had them carefully washed and repacked, and they were transn;itted with the mails to Southampton. It was fortunate that the box escaped the clutches of the Spanish brigands, whose infamous conduct has been already described. Just before Captain M‘Lcod committed suicide, he gave into the charge of the consul a handkerchief containing gold, with which he had been entrusted, to deliver to a merchant in London, with a special recommendation that it should be forwarded to its destination. The escape of one child was miraculous, and has not yet been mentioned in the accounts published of the disaster. The first boat, it has been stated, was upset in the raging surf, when three persons lost their lives, and a second Child was supposed to have been drowned, but when the boat righted the infant was found floating at the bottom, and was taken on beard the vessel as it,was going to pieces; restora tives were applied, and the child was saved. The chief officer, Mr. Hamilton, was not on duty at the time when the steamer struck, and is now in town. Sir Robert Peel had a dinner party on Saturday at his residence in Whitehall. gardens. The Low Moor Iron Company are busqy engaged in casting cannon of considerable calibre. THE LATE JOHN LANG/N.—The mortal remains of John Langan, celebrated in England for his pugilistic en counters with Spring, the English champion, arrived in Dublin on Friday night, and were interred on Saturday in Glasenevin Cemetery. We regret to announce the death of Lieut.• General Foveaux, which occurred yesterday. The deceased General's services were of a very useful description, and highly appre ciated. From 1789 to 1810 he belonged to the New South Wales Corps (afterwards the 102 d Regiment); and from 1811 to 1814 he was Inspecting Field Officer at Cork and Waterford, and subsequently Lieutenant-Governor of Norfolk Island and Acting-Governor of New South Wales. His com missions bear the following dates :—Ensign, 26th May, 1789; Lieutenant, sth June, 1789 ; Captain, 6th April, 1791 ; Major, 10th June, 1796 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, 29th April, 1802 ; Colonel, 4th June, 1811; Major-General, 4th June, 1814; and Lieutenant-General, 22d July, 1830.—United Zcrviee Gazette.

This difficulty was imposed upon Mr. Freeman by a strike amongst the Scotch quarrymen. ACCIDENT TO COUNT RODOLPHE KINSKY.—We re gret to hear that Count Rodolphe Kinsky, who has been visiting the Duke of Rutland, at Belvcir Castle, while hunt ing a few days back, at Croxton- park, with the fox hounds. was thrown from his horse, and in his fall dislocated his collar-bone. The Count was conveyed to Melton Mowbray, where medical assistance was instantly obtained, and though confined to his room, lie is doing well. COURT CIRCULAR.

The flatness of the market yestefday after Boon cannot be attri buted to the want of hackers. They were plentiful enough, but the layers were more than unusually shy, and, in consequence, a great number of commissions in favour of horses for the Chester Cup, New market and Metropolitan Handicaps and Derby were only partially executed. This remark may be applied to Hope, Miss Burns, Best Bower, and Clumsy for the Chester Cup, and more particularly so to Brocardo for the Derby ; the odds quoted against the latter having been laid to about 201. only out of several larger sums sent up for in vestment. At present the events to come off at Newmarket and Epsom are dead letters.

DREADFUL FIRE FOUR LIVES LOST, AND SEVERAL PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED. On Monday morning, shortly before one o'clock, a fire. attended with fatal consequences to four persons—father and three children,—and serious results to several other parties. broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Timpson, chemist, No 77, Crawford-street, Marylebone. The dis covery was made by a policeman of the D division, whilst passing along his beat. Smoke which he saw issuing from the shop window-shutters convinced him that the building was on fire. Without delay the officer raised an alarm, and after some trouble succeeded in arousing several of the inmates. Other constables having arrived at the spot, some were sent for the fire-engines and escapes. The Royal Society for the Protection of Life from fire had the escape from Baker-street, Portman-square, station very early at the scene. The first thing the conductor of the machine attempted to du was to ascertain if all the parties had escaped. Before, however, be had succeeded in affixing the escape to the front of the premises, a female, apparently about forty or forty-five years of age, suddenly approached one of the front windows, and threw herself into the street. She fell partly on her back and head. The poor creature was picked up, but she was so dreadfully injured that the only thing she could say was, " Oh, my poor children are in the house." This becoming known, the conductor of the escape ran up the machine in the expectation of being enabled to save the parties in the place. Whet. however, he had got upon the top of the escape, a sort of ? explosion occurred in the shop, which blew the shutters off, and the flames rushing through set the escape in a blaze. The poor man attempted to slide clown the canvas bag, when he fell through the hole made by the action of the fire. Falling upon his head he received a serious, if not fatal, injury to the skull. The female and the man were promptly removed to the hospital. The engines of the brigade from Baker-street, Portman square, King-street, and Wells-street stations were early in arriving, and were set to work under the direction 01 Mr. Staples, the foreman of the district. The Ceunty engine from Regent-street, with Mr. Garwood and the com pany's firemen, followed immediately after, and also the pa rochial engines of St. Marylebone. The mains of the West Middlesex Company afforded an abundant supply of water, and the engines having been set to work, a powerful stream of the antagonisti element was thrown into the blazing build ing, but upwards of an hour elapsed before the firemen file ceeded in getting the flames extinguished. By that period the shop, kitchens, staircase, and the major part of the se cond floor, were destroyed, and the remainder of the premises seriously damaged by fire. As soon as the building was sufficiently cooled, a number of firemen entered the wreck to search for the parties missing, Upon entering the second floor a sight of a most distressing character presented itself. In one of the rooms were to be seen the bodies of Mr. Robert Batters and his three children. They were not much burned, and death appeared to have re sulted from suffocation. They were got out as soon as pos sible, and taken to the house of Mr. Bateman, a surgeon op posite, and afterwards conveyed on the police stretcher to the workhouse. The unfortunate man Batters was the husband of the female before spoken of as having jumped out of the window. They occupied the second floor. Had it not been for the explosion of something in the shop, which set the escape on fire, it is highly probable that the whole of the inmates would have been rescued by the machine men. By the abolition of the auction and glass duties. salaries to the amount of 52,6361. annually have been saved by the discontinuance of the army of officers employed to collect those taxes. ARRIVAL OF INDIAN CORN IN DUBLIN.—We feel highly gratified to announce the arrival of a steamer in this city from Cork, laden with Indian meal.

This is the first visit of the Royal Family to any theatre or place of public amusement, and it is fully antici pated that her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert will accompany their illustrious children. Mr. Batty, fully appreciating the honour, has determined that nothing shall be wanting to render the entertainment, which will be conducted with the strictest privacy, worthy of Astley's. LEGAL CLAIMS OF FIREMEN.—At Marlborough street Police-court, on Saturday, an important question to housekeepers was disposed of, in reference to the remunera tion firemen are entitled to in cases of a false alarm of fire. Sparks were observed to escape from the chimney of the Wyndham Clubhouse, St. James's-square, and in a short time an engine attended, and it was for this attendance com pensation was demanded. In answer to the claim the steward of the club stated that the kitchen was furnished with a steam engine, and the draft occasioned the sparks to fly out of the chimney ; but he denied that there was any occasion for the attendance of the brigade, as no danger was apprehended by the inhabitants. Mr. Hardwick decided that the firemen were entitled to compensation in conse quence of sparks having been seen, but he left the amount to be decided by the parish. FIRE IN THE BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.—On Saturday night, shortly before twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises occupied by Mr. More ing, a fancy toy-dealer, carry ingd on business at so. 8, Blackfriars-road, near the It( e itui h t R a d .
