Iderning 22 minutes after 0 J Evening,. 48 minutes after 0. stitution of the House of Commons, notwithstanding the Reform Act ! And how strongly does it prove the necessity for another Reform Act ! The bigoted and relentless Orange party in Ireland, though humbled and defeated, and disgraced by the frightful disclosures respecting their traitorous policy some ten years ago, cannot remain at rest, nor refrain from forming associations, and adopting proceedings calculated only to make Protestants and Catholics mortal enemies, and thereby prolong the sufferings of our unhappy fellow-subjects in the sister island. The latest scheme for these wicked purposes has just been completed, and is to be carried into effect by a society called the " Protestant Alliance." Any one may form a very correct estimate of its principles when he knows that Lord RODEN is the principal agi tator, that he is chairman of this new association ; that Mr. S. MAXWELL is secretary, and that they are backed by such men as Col. VERNER, Col. BRUEN, and the Rev. Dr. MORTIMER O'SULLIVAN, notorious for his inflammatory speeches at Exeter Hall. Their professions are peaceable in the extreme, and their great object appears to be the defence of the Pro testant religion, and, as a matter of course, the main- tenance, n its integrity and purity, of the United Church of England and Ireland, as guaranteed in the articles of the Union, and intended to have been secured by solemn pledges in the Act for Roman Catholic Emancipation." This is their first resolution, and from it we may judge of the rest. The Church of Ireland, one of the most absurd and wicked anomalies ever known in the history of any country, is to be maintained at all ,hazards ; clergymen are to be paid for doing nothing ; churches are to be built and kept in repair at vast expense, though the pastors are without flocks ; the sinecure ministers are still to spend their ill-ac quired gains at Cheltenham, cr Paris, or Naples, and not a farthing is to be given for the education or re ligious instruction of the half-starved Catholic po pulation, who are, out of their miserable pittance, to build chapels and schools, maintain their clergy and schoolmasters, and find a substitute for those tithes and church-lands which were originally granted for religious and educational purposes. And as if this were not sufficiently selfish and severe: on; the part of this Protestant Alliance, insult must be added to injustice, and a Jesuitical imputation implied that the Catholics had broken " solemn pledges " made in 1829. While such a violation of every charitable principle is committed, these wicked accusers solemnly resolve—" That while we are essentially a Protestant society, we are not actuated by any spirit of bigotry or intolerance. We desire the welfare of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and would scru pulously maintain their civil rights and liberties." Never was there more cruel mockery. These very men, who would maintain the " civil rights and liberties " of the Catholics, fought to the last against their right to sit in the Houses of Parliament, to fill any responsible and valuable office in the State, and even to manage their own corporation affairs. Another of the Christian objects of these agitators is to destroy that system of mixed education which has already had such beneficial effects, and which in time, if undisturbed, would do more to reconcile national antipathies than, perhaps, any other le gislative measure ; and in order to blind a cer tain portion of the Dissenters, whom they hate as cordially as Catholics, and have treated as unmercifully, the Protestant Alliance resolves "that it will oppose and resist a state connec tion between Great Britain and the Church of Rome, as contrary alike to the religious convictions of Church men and Dissenters, inconsistent with the principles of the British Constitution, and eminently tending to aggravate the evils of Ireland." But it is needless further to analyse the doctrines put forth by these Orangemen. They are too well known in England, as well as Ireland ; their main object is the supremacy of a small faction, and when the Minister of the day is making every exertion to compose differences and allay animosities, they must interfere with his humane purposes, and kindle anew the flame of reli gious bigotry in their native land. If hatred of Popery and the maintenance of Protestantism really influenced their conduct, they would look more narrowly into the Popish tenets professed by the men of Oxford, and covertly entertained by nearly all the young clergy of the Established Church. But of these fearful backslidings they say not one word. They use religion in Ireland for their political purposes. They inscribe the word "Protestant" on their banners in order that they may more effectually trample upon the persecuted Irish, and would, with the same good will, fight under " Puseyism," provided they could thereby raise a more numerous and powerful army. The packet-ship, New York, arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday evening, with intelligence from New York to the 17th, and from Washington to the 15th December, containing reports of the proceedings in the Senate on that day. The whole of the proceed ings, including the warlike remarks of General CAI., and other Senators, appeared in The Sun on Wed nesday, from the papers of that date, which were conveyed to Havre in a fast. sailing vessel at the close of last week. We had thus anticipated the intelli gence brought by the New York by two days. We have received Madrid journals of the Ist of January. The Gazette announces that the Govern ment have entered into a contract with the bank of San Fernando, by which that establishment is to supply 100 millions of reals per month, to be secured on the taxes. According to this arrangement the Government will be enabled to pay the interest on the debt for 1846. The Bourse was closed on New Year's-day. The intelligence in the Paris Papers relates chiefly to the preliminary proceedings in the two Chambers, the report of Admiral MACKAII, on the state of the navy, and the movements of ABD-EL-KADER. The debate on the Address in the Peers was expected to commence on Friday, and that in the Deputies on Monday. The Budget was distributed to the Mem bers on Tuesday, and on Saturday would be brought before the Committee, where probably its examination would last for a week. The Presse and the Journal des Debats contain long articles on the state of the French navy, and both praise the Minister of Marine for his exertions to raise it to a position worthy of the country. The Government paper says, there is but one feeling as to the necessity of the proposed mea sures, though it does not recommend an increase on the grounds urged by some of the Opposition journals, namely, the necessity of being prepared to contend with England, and the arguments in general are such as can give no offence in England, nor imply any intentions of hostility. The account of the navy, given by Admiral MACILAU, shows that it has by no means been neglected. He says, in his report:—" I hesitate not to declare, that the present stivation of the case is far from being such as to cause any alarm to the country with regard to the navy, which it now posseses ; the ships have been kept up with constant care and attention, and an im portant reserve is on the stocks, only awaiting com pletion ; seventy vessels have been within the last fifteen years added to our other vessels ; and with this fleet, insufficient as it may appear, has been ac complished the victories of Navarino, Algiers, Tagus, St. Jean d'Ulloa, Tangiers, and Mogadore." On this the Journal des Debats makes the fol lowing remarks : —" If the present state of our fleet, however, is equal to our expectations, if the state of our maritime population exceeds our hopes, it must be admitted that the state of the stores in our different arsenals is not equally satisfactory — and the Minister himself admits their insufficiency,— the causes of this it is not neceessary for us to repeat, for they have been often stated. It must not, how ever, be imagined that there is an actual diminution in the value of our naval materiel, for it has, on the contrary, increased in the course of the last fifteen years by 76,300,000 f.; it must be merely understood that the stores in depot in our arsenals are not equal to the anticipated demand in future, and that it is for this urgency it is necessary to provide. All the Minis ters of the Marine for the last 20 years have held the same language. On this occasion the demonstration is peremptory, and the Chambers will doubtless be satisfied with it. The question, however, is not now simply a vote of some supplementary credits to put our sup plies in harmony with the naval establishment as fixed by the royal ordonnance of 1837, and the royal decision of 1842, but a reconstitution of the navy on a more extended basis; Admiral DE MACK Au, therefore, proposes that the effective strength of the navy shall be composed of 200 sailing vessels, con sisting of 40 vessels of the line, 20 to be afloat ; GO frigates, 40 to be afloat, and 26 on the stocks, &c." The outline of the plan, with the total number of vessels belonging to each class, we published some days ago. - ABD. EL-KADER, according to all accounts, i 9 as active and hostile as ever; and Bou MAZA, said to have been killed about the middle of last month, has reappeared in the very neighbourhood of Orleansville• The Journal des Dibals gives the following account, which, of course, is the most favourable that can be furnished, and it is anything but favourable ; " Abd-el-Kader has not come down into the valley of the Chilif, as it was expected he would. He is said to be in the south of the country of the Flittas, on the Upper Mina, towards Tiaret. But this not by any means certain, and his movements are so rapid that our most active columns are almost constantly at default, and there fore are obliged to confine themselves to covering the most important points of the interior. The rainy season, which commenced with December, renders every ex pedition extremely difficult. The troops and convoys have much suffered from the loss of a great number of horses and mules, owing to excessive fatigue and want of provisions on their marches of from twenty to twenty fi'e days in the mountains, through the severe weather. Almost all the brigades are in want of fresh stores, and particularly shoes, from the delay in the a rr i va l of the convoys. Some days of repose in towns or entrenched camps have become necessary to restore the greater part of the columns to such a condition as will en able them to resume their operations. Still the ex traordinary activity displayed by the army at the end of the autumn is not without its fruits. The whole pro vince of Algiers has been kept in subjection, and Abd• el- Kader prevented from entering it. The different tribes situated within the circle of Orleansville have either been chastised, brought to submission, or dispersed. In the province of Oran, one-half, and that the most important part of the circle of Mascara, has returned to its duty, and, in fine, no attempt at revolt has been made with success in the rich province of Constantine. At Tlemcen it was announced by the Moniteur Algerien of the 30th ult., that the frontier tribes had also made their sub mission ; but it appears from the Echo of Oran that the Khalitas of Abd-el-Kader, taking advantage of the ab sence of General Cavaignac, had come down in force to compel the tribes to emigrate. Nothing is known of the designs of the Emir in thus forcing the tribes to emigrate to Morocco, nor of the organisation which he proposes giving to the forces that he may henceforth have at his disposal in this quarter. The Moorish embassy is said to disquiet him, as it leads him to apprehend some co operation on the part of Morocco with the French troops. The death of Bou Maza is not confirmed ; but, on the contrary, it is stated that this pertinacious and enter prising chief has reappeared in the circle of orleansville. endeavouring again to raise the tribes, although he has with him but a very small body of men." The General Council of Commerce of Paris has adopted the following resolution, on the motion of M. T. Ducos, the Deputy of Bordeaux :—" The Council recommends that authority be given for the introduc tion from foreign countries, free of all duty, of iron and sheet iron, destined for the construction of French commercial ships, whether of wood or iron, and what ever may be their destination or tonnage." A letter from Vienna of Dec. 31 says :—" Our EMPEROR desired, on the arrrival of the Emperor o RUSSIA, to pay him a visit on the same evening, but the Emperor NICHOLAS sent word that he was then indisposed. He, however, proceeded at a later hour to the Imperial Palace. The review, which took plac e to-day, collected together about 10,000 troops, and the Emperor NICHOLAS commanded the regiment of Hussars, which bears his ,name. It is supposed that he will take his departure on January 2." The Paris Bourse opened firm on Wednesday, but as the day advanced. the market became rather more flat, and left off at a slight decline. It closed as follows : Three per Cents. for cash, 83f. 15c. ; for Account, SRI'. 15c. ; Five per Cents., for cash, 121 f. 30c. ; for Account, 121 f. 30c. ; Bank of France Shares, 3,330 f. ; Neapolitan, 99f. 75c.; Spanish Threes, 37 1 / 2 ; Ditto Fives, 37 ; New Loan, not quoted. The Share-market was not quite so good as on the previous day. Paris and Orleans closed at 1,265 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,032 f. 50c. ; Rouen and Havre, 830 f. ; Avignon, 1,005 f. ; Viezron, 715 f. ; Strasbourg and asle, 257 f. 50c. ; Boulogne and Amiens, 570 f. ; Northern, 762 f.

TIIE ROYAL STAG HOUNDS. —The meet on Wed nesday,lwilich was numerously attended, took place at Bea consfield. Amongst those who were present were his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by Mr. George Wombwell, the Earl of Rosslvn, and several military offic-rs from Windsor. Th e deer Tied Rose, its second ap pearance in public, upon being- uncarted at Holtspur Gate, took away at the back of the town of Beaconsfield, through Mr. Dupre's park, out into the London road, where it doubled to th e l e f t to Gould-hill and Chalfont-grove, and thence, crossing the brook, between the two Chalfonts, to Gravel-farm, o n t o t h e Ph easant at Ch a lf o nt St. Giles's. Th e deer then made away for the Vetch, in the direction of Charley i‘"ood Common, doubling to the right to Newland park, wh ere , a f ter runn i ng a r i n g, and then onto Hord en -hill , between Chalfont St. P e ter's and Rick nansworth, it was th ere taken after a very capital run of an hour and three quarter s . gPrreiantcepoGreoiir,ngeofothf the Feld well placed at th e fi n i s h . The Cambridge, the Earl_ of Rossi} n, and a meet on Monday last, appointed to take place at New Lodge, Winktield, was postponed in consequence of th e f rost. MR. WAGHORN'S EXPRESS.—We have been re quested to contradict one of the numerous misrepresentations on this subject. We believe the experiment was made by Mr. Waghorn at his own expense. He offered to bring the dispatches fur all the morning papers, and he did so. He certainly was not employed by us, nor paid by us, for the experiment, or for the carriage of our dispatch. We subse quently subscribed to the testimonial on his behalf, but that subscription was in no way connected with the express, and only in acknowledgment of the great services he has per formed in bringing one of our most important colonies within a month's journey.—Times, Jan. 9.

We noticed yesterday Mr. GLADSTONE'S significant farewell to the constituency with which he has been connected from his first entrance into public life. " Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illia," says or sings Mr. GLADSTONE. " Ternpora mutantur, et non mutamur in illis," rejoins the Lord of Newark and Clumber for himself ; and in the irreconcileable confusion of these various readings Mr. GLADSTONE is forced to bid good bye to Newark and look out for a close borough elsewhere. Mr. GLADSTONE has no right to complain. The Duke of NEWCASTLE means to do likewise by his own son and heir, Lord LINCOLN, in South Nottingham shire. The amount of nomination among the Members of the Government in the House of Commons is a strik ing point of view from which to regard the present state of the representation. Where they are not abso lutely nominees they will be found to represent small and corrupt constituencies. There is not a repre sentative of a strictly popular constituency among them; and almost all are nominees. Take - first the members 'of the Cabinet.' Sir R. PEEL returns himself for the borough of Tamwortb, which numbers 452 electors. Sir J. GRAHAM is turned for Dorchester (396 electors) by Mr. LIAMS, the banker. Mr. GLADSTONE'S farewell letter is a confession that he has hitherto sat by the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S nomination for Newark. By the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S nomination Lord LINCOLN at present sits for South Nottinghamshire. Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT is Member for South Wiltshire through the influence of his brother, Lord PEM• BROKE's, and his own possessions. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET is nominated by his brother, the Duke of BEAUFORT, for Monmouthshire. The only other member of the Cabinet in the House of Commons is Mr. GOULBURN, returned by the University of Cam- bridge—not so popular a constituency as to atone by itself for the nominations of all his Cabinet brethren. We descend below the Cabinet, and first on the list is Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, Secretary for Ire land, by the grace of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM Member for Buckingham (393 electors). Sir GEORGE CLERK, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, is Member for Stamford (638 electors), by permission of the Marquis of EXETER ; and Mr. BARING, Pay master of the Forces, for Thetford (192 electors), by nomination of Lord ASHBURTON. Dr. NICHOLL, the Judge Advocate, represents Cardiff (710 elec tors), a family borough. Mr. YOUNG, Secretary to the Treasury, sits for an Irish county, Cavan, by permission of Lord FARNHAM ; while Mr. CARDWELL, the other Treasury Secretary, is the only representa tive of a manufacturing borough among all the mem bers of the Government, and that borough, a small one Clitheroe (412 electors), which, however, will never return him again. Mr. CORRY, Se cretary to the Admiralty, is Member for the Irish county of Tyrone by virtue of his brother, Lord BEL-. MORE'S property. The two Secretaries to the Board of Control are Lord JOCELYN and Lord MenoN, the former of whom represents Lynn (980 electors), a borough notoriously corrupt, and the latter is Lord SALISBURY'S Member for Hertford. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, Under-Secretary for the Home Department, and Sir FITZROY KELLY, Solicitor-General, together represent the immaculate borough of Cambridge (1,904 electors). The Attorney-General, Sir F. THESIGER, when driven out of Woodstock by his Grace of MARLBOROUGH, got Mr. DUFFIELD to make over to him the 315 electors of Abingdon, and they are still his. The Irish Attorney-General and Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, one of the Lords of the Admi- ralty, are the two Members for Ripon (341 elec tors), made so by the late Mrs. LAWRENCE, and continued so by Lord DR GREY. Admiral BOWLES, another Lord of the Admiralty, sits for Launceston (344 electors) by the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND'S influence; Captain GORDON, another, for Aberdeen shire, by his brother, Lord ABERDEEN'S influence; and Mr. FITZROY, another Lord of the Admiralty, for the pure borough - of Lewes (900 electors), it would be supposed by bribery, but that Mr, FITZ ROY has called GOD to witness, on the floor of the House of Commons, that he never spent a shilling in bribery or corruption. The Lords of the Treasury are, Mr. GASEELL, Member for Wenlock (949 elec tors), Mr. BARING, Marlborough (256 electors, pa tron, Lord AILESBURY), Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE, Peebleshire (Duke of BUCCLEUCK, patron), and Mr. CRIPPS, Cirencester (496 electors, Lord BATHURST pa tron). Colonel PEEL, Lord ARTHUR LIMO', and Sir FREDERICK TRENCH hold offices in the Ordnance : the first sits for Huntingdon (374 electors), by Lord SANDWICH'S nomination ; the second for Chichester (789 electors), by the Duke of RICHMOND'S; and Sir FREDERICK TRENCH is Member for Scarborough ( 5 37 electors). The Lord Advocate sits for Ar gyllshire, by permission of the Duke of ARGYLL. Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS, Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital, is LORD WARWICK'S Member for Warwick (911 electors). The following members of the Household are in the House of Commons as follows :—Colonel DAW• SON DAMER, Member for Portarlington (185 electors), a f am ily borough ; Lord ENNEST BRUCE, Mr. BARING'S co-nominee for Marlborough (256 electors) ; Lord JERMYN, Member for Bury St. Edmunds (744 electors), through his father, the Marquis of BRIs- TOL'S influence ; Captain METNELL, Member for Lisburn (331 electors), by the Marquis of HERT FORD'S influence ; Lord C. WELLESLEY, Member for South Hants, of which his father, the Duke of WEL LINGTON, is Lord• Lieutenant ; and Captain DUN COMBE, Member for East Thetford (2,596 electors). The general results are very striking, and should be known. Of thirty•nine members of the Govern ment, in the House of Commons, twenty• nine have their seats notoriously by nomination. Twenty-seven represent boroughs, the whole united number of whose electors is 16,14.5,—n0t so many in all as the con stituency of the City of London—hardly more than the electors of Liverpool —less than a quarter of the number of electors of the five metropolitan boroughs of Finsbury, Marylebone, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets, and Westminster. Such is the composition of the Government in the House of Commons. And by the state of the Government you may judge the state of the representation. There is another very striking cir cumstance in the list of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government —the number of members of Sixteenthear f is t t h o e c G ra o e v y e . rnment, ih out thHouseoftt thirty-nine members o H of on a our co a t b te le n s lsp th th o e u e g r h , o th f e C h o e m ad m o o f n s tbe a m re all ijrds is the andon who prides himself, as well he may , upon his origin. Lords What a comme n tary is this on the aristocratic con- FLANDERS MA IL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 6.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 3d of January, was 23f. 80c., and that of I-) e, 18f. 23c. A Ghent journal states that the dike of the canal of Terneuzer from the Custom-house to Meulestede, is in danger of giving way to the impetuosity of the currents of the Lys and the Scheldt, which overflow the ditches of the town from the Bruges-gate to that of the Sss. The agents of the department of bridges and highways have taken every measure to prevent such an event. On Sunday night the dike near St. Gelles (in the district of Waes) gave way. A part of the commune is under wate , :. The King of Prussia, following the example given by the King of Bavaria, has resolved, in consideration of the high price of provisions, to grant to the subaltern officers an addition of 25 per cent. to their salaries during the first six months of 1846. A letter from Frankfort of the 3d, says, " This morn ing the melancholy intelligence was spread here of a collision between two locomotives on the railway near Mannheim. The number of persons killed or wounded is said to amount to forty." ANTWERP, JAN. 7.—The Government of the King of the Netherlands has just published a decree raising the import and export duties on a number of articles, both ' national productions and manufactures. The Journal de la Hay does not attempt to conceal the fact that the decree is positively directed against Belgium, but it ap pears to us that in the end it will fall with its whole might on the Dutch c. mmunes. The war of tariff is a two edged sword, which requires skill in wielding it. Thd Belgian Government knows henceforth what it is to expect from the Dutch Government. As for us we see nothing except a treaty of commerce which can put an end to a state of things which is contrary to the in terests of the two nations, and we believe that the actual hostility is only a prelude to it.

Jan. 7. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of C o tt on at Li verpoo l yesterday were 8,000 bales, one-half being on speculation. Prices were firm. Shares were not so goo d . The intention of Government to plaice the Militia in an effective state, is a matter which has for the last few days led to much conve rsa ti on i n t h e Ci ty c ircles ; and, strange as it may appear, there are many of the old stagers who de sire to keep their berths, as officers, who are now past the age at which their services are required.
