The resolutions which relate to wheat, barley, oats, rye, peril, and beans, and their respective meals, as also those which relate to buck-wheat, maize, maize -meal, and rice, hm-e; now been passed, and the Bill which is to regulate her ceforth the import duties on there articles of food will be brought in on this evening. The course which has been tek, - ,n by the protectionists with regard to the various arm odments of Mr. Smicram, Mr. Mmeas, and ethers, has uner:pectedly expedited the progress of Sir R. PEEL'S Inviure very greatly. They will have either the present protec tion or none ; they resist Sir R. PEEL'S measures in this spirit, awl with the intintico, if the measures pass, of ondevrettring to get them rei , ealed and to comeback to the state of things now ; they will not, therefore, be parties in any degree to any change, by supporting any modifications of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposals, and they wash their bands of all amend ments. When Mr. STANLET'S krnendment, on Friday, was supposed to be on the point of coming to a division, it was amusing to see the protectionist phalanx wheeling out of the House in compact body. Well, we are quite ready to compound for the protectionists' chance of getting protection back stain hereafter by their adoption of a course now which so materially facili tates the speedy enactment of Sir R. PEEL'S proposals• Once let Sir R. PEEL'S measure become the law of the land' and we wish the protectionists may get it rescinded. They look to a dissolution, infatuated men ! Let them depend on it that every week, nay every day which passes,increases the force of public opinion in favor of free trade, and brings its aid towards the future verification of Mr. COBDEN'S predic tion as to the result of an appeal to the country. The course which the protectionist party are taking in the Commons will, we presume, also be taken hereafter in the Lords; and if so, we get rid of a danger which has hitherto been present to our minds, of some modification in the Upper House which might cause the ejection of the Bill alto ther. There is now, however, no doubt that the protec tionist party are committed to abstaining altogether from support of amendments; and this being so, all doubt about the fate of the Bill in the Upper House is removed. We re . peat a statement which we made some days ago, that calcu lations, by persons most competent to form an opinion, make a majority of at least thiry for the Government in the House of Lords. The Austrian Government is said to be a paternal Govern ment, watching over the people with more than a father's care, chastising them only when they are in error, treating them with great kindness when they continue in the beaten tract, but punishing them with severity when they venture to think that they are wiser than their rulers, or that they are in any way capable of self-government, or judging for themselves. If this is paternal government, England may well congratulate herself that she knows not its blessings, and that by disobedience to its precepts she has emancipated herself from the thraldom of priests, banished a race of kings calling themselves the fathers of their people, and established a system of government, which has raised her to the highest pitch of power, and made her the envy of the world. But despotism is so attractive to those in office, that it is never given up but by force, and Austria, which knows that by force alone it can be retained, has taken care to keep herself fully pres.ared by a large army and its peculiar distribution to put down every attempt to wrest absolute dominion from her hands. Nothing but this consciousness of power could have induced the First Chan cellor at Vienna to issue a tyrannical edict against the new German religion. Never even in the darkest ages, or during the Reformation, when the Catholic Church was struggling for its very existence, did there appear such a wanton attack upon the freedom of thought, or such a determination to put down new doctrines by main force and persecution, as this attempt of the Court of Austria to destroy RONGE and his followers. The document, which appears in the Cologne Gazette, announces that the Catholics calling themselves German, not forming part of any religious com munity acknowledged in the Austrian monarchy, are an il legal association, and have no right of domicile in the em pire. Those who compose it are to be punished as crimi nals in case of any breach of certain articles of the code re lative to the rights of the Church. Foreigners professing the neve doctrines, if they enter the country without the permission of the Austrian Minister residing at their respective courts, are immediately to be expelled— in other wards, they . will not be suffered to enter the country. Foreigners residing in Austria professing these doctrines shall be ordered to quit the country without delay, and article 6th provides that in case of the death of any one of these sectaries no funeral ceremony shall be performed, un less the priests of the church to which he belonged shall have given their consent, and the body shall be buried in silence through the intervention ofthe civil authorities. And in the event of any Austrian functionary adopting the new doctrine, he shall be immediately proscribed and removed from office. But vain are all these safeguards for the Catholic faith. They have already been tried, and at every trial they only added fuel to the flame. All this, however, is in perfect keeping with the dull, despotic, and deadening policy which has so long prevailed in the Aulic councils, and they have reaped the fruits. It led to the defeat of every Austrian army when it came in contact with the French under the Re public, the Consulate, and the Empire, and it bids fair to dissolve the heterogeneous mass of states now kept in sub ; jection by 3.lterrEnserm, solely front the fear of banishment, perpetual imprisonment, or death. If we could have counselled Mr. ETWALL with hope of success, we should have said,--" Let the Andover Union wait till the Corn Bill has got through the House of Com mons." It meat be allowed, however, in justice to the Hon. Member for Andover, that he expressed his readiness to post pone his motion, if other Hon. Members who had notices after his would also postpone theirs, in order to allow the Committee on the commercial resolutions to come on. Mr. NEWDEGATE expressed his determination to bring on his motion for inquiry into the proceedings in the Warwickshire st ss e etr . a e,„ it 0., night was to be occupied, to the exclusion of free-trade, tho Hououraute Member for An dover had as much right to the night as the Member for Warwickshire ; and there is no comparison in respect of importance between the two motions. We yield to none, and have shown it often, in desire for the success, and the F speedy success, of Sir R. Pext.'a measures; but that does not bUnd us to the importance of the questions raised on Thurs. lay night, as to the mismanagement in the Andover Mika 1, the extraordinary mode in which the Poor. law Cone nissioners obstructed the inquiry which they had the] r selves instituted, and their peculiar treatment of the As& slant-Commissioner who conducted the inquiry, Mr. PARKER. There is no reason why the ad vel se division of Thursday should in any way injure the @a use of free trade. There is no connexion between the two qi lestione. As to the decision which is said to have been to sated against the Government by the protectionists, it sr Ay be so or it may not. If it be, we have only to say that the votes of gentlemen, given ag must the Government from pique, are worth as much as if rven (as they would have been given last session) for the Gl evernment, for no other reason than to help the Govern in !tut, and equally without regard to the merits of the case. it we have taken some trouble to analyse the division ; and we . find that in the majority of 92 for Mr. Citaisnes amend ,:nt (on which the division took place) there were no less a an 38 Members from the Liberal side, and among them S( one most zealous free-traders, that some Conser vative Members who support Sir ROBERT PEEL, as iv JOHN HAMMER, Mr. Alderman COPELAND,. and Mr. 1 ;01)13 tr, were also in the majority, and that a large propcltion of, the Conservative Members, who voted against the G overnment, have always been consistent opponents of the P•ooreCaw Commissioners. Tb .e unaveimity of the speakers in favour of inquiry into tint treatment of Mr. PARKE& is a much stronger and more st ri}eing. proof of its propriety than the majority of o , tes. Every one who rose, with the single exception of S JA sins GRAHAM, treated inquiry as imperatively twee:mai y, and if it had been necessary before, Sir JAMi os GitAxAm's speech, as Mr. lluj observed, made the nece: tit y stronger. Sir JAMES GRAHAM vindicated Mr. PAR MR'S dismissal, by charging him generally with indis creti NI and insubordination. Specific instances in support of thes• ; general charges Sir J. Gnatibi avoided mentioning. Mr. PARKER, after ten years' service in the Poor-law Com miss ion, having received curing that service many marks of the s tpproiiation of his superiors, is dismissed without cause assig nod, but under circumstances calculated to give rise to a; 1 sorts of suspiciOns and imputations; he is thrown back upon his profession, under great disadvantages; and the Home Secretary having an opportunity, in the How eof Commons, of explaining the reason of Mr. PA RK sn's disini ssal, if he does not choose to allow the House of Com mons to inquire into it, gives no explanation, deals still in genes al charges only, adds some general charges of his own, as if anxious to add to the load of disadvantage under which Mr. PARKER has been compelled to return to the legal pro les si ip e and refuses inquiry. We shall now ascertain, we presr cite, the specific complaints against Mr. PARKER. T 1 le Poor-law Commissioners claim, it appears, the pore r of removing these Assistant-Commissioners. The divisi ;on of Thursday has settled that question. But if the lions eof Commons had sanctioned such a claim, we say that there would have been an end to all chance of procn ring men of character and independence to fill the office of Assistant-Commissioner. The Assistant-Commis alone, 2 are generally taken from the bar ; and among thin are r .any members of the bar of high standing and reputa tion Mr. PARKER'S treatment might hare been theirs, if the G e , venament had had a majority. rj r nve rt tment is evidently convinced of the necessity which • exists ft, r some immediate settlement of the great commercial .question now before Parliament ; it perceives the injurious consequ sums which must inevitably result to a nation so pe ,!uliavly mercantile as Great Britain from any protracted del: ra t 3 - i a t h e transition of its commercial policy. That mg of C.o ,A m et m io o n n o s f ; tract 'i i :, t , oth internal and international, is clogged by the non ► of let continue in a stat e t t h h e a measures agriculturalea ures n andfiltering manufacturing through th e 11 )BERT PEEL'S propo sitions of comparative at all wholesome T% t( mant-farmers, or the industortaln* n ecessity, remain almost in industry dlis t Rouse ry torpor until Sir competition, have passed into a law; and , either among merchants, or complete generally, will, by r retection is actually, as well p.lete stagnation until as virtually de u defunct, is cc , 1 na P wledged by the very Minist er i a l pros ect u p on , - whic h ---- t he future proceedings of the representatives prospectus rQga / stet]. The Prime Minister has intimated his determination t o impel the various c l au s es of his statement, relating par t iCUlarly to food, through the lower Ho u se, and to give them his impulsion likewise, as vigorously, as earnestly, an d , 3 S i medily as circumstances will permit. In proof of his Si 2 cerity in this announcement Sir ROBERT PEEL brings fo til - ard his scheme of "Customs and Corn Importation" this e' ten ing before the Committee, resolved that no single wove n ism; which is available shall be neglected, and brought to t his re, solution, without doubt, as mach from a knowledge of t / to evil's which would arise from any postponement, 8 s from a conviction of the blessings which would 1 I like manner - flow from a speedy acceptance ( ,f his measures. Upon a position of affairs, there -4.m, 0 propitious to the FJ44Oa people, II aro most heartily rejoiced. We congratulate our fellow-countrymen upon the anxiety evinced ley their rulers not merely to annihilate their grievances. but to do so forthwith ; and, as it tends to expedite that annihilation, inasmuch as it leaves the Ministry without any incumbrance upon the action of its plans—the field entirely open for its progression—we must yet again express our satisfaction that the amendment introduced by Mr. CHARLES Vinuans has been definitively disposed of, and the question of free trade reduced once more tee the practicable views of Sir ROBERT, The minority by which that amendment was negatived has been, we repeat It, a source of sincere gratification to ourselves, since in that minority we perceive a peril escaped. Had the protectionists, for example with the mere vexatious intention of harassing the present Ministry, and of placing Sir ROBERT'S influence in jeopardy, sided with the Hon. Members comprised in that minority, the effects of that hollow co-operation, to say the very least of it, would have proved most prejudicial to the glorious cause for whose success the multitude and the more enlightened of the Legislature are striving together ; it might possibly (and not improbably) have rendered the continuance of the present Government in office most dubious. At the smallest calculation, it would have weakened a Ministry previously of very great and very beneficent strength, while the ultimate triumph of the amendment would have still remained more than simply questionable. It would have been an ignis fatuus a chimera a shibboleth —an illusion. Hence, as deserting the substantial for the visionary, the quiet overthrow of that amendment was, as we have already intimated, a sub ject to us of sincere self-gratulation. At the same time, let it be particularly observed, we do not intend by these tx pressions to impute any but the most reasonable, ti.e most laudable, and the most comprehensible motives to the Honourable Gentleman who introduced that amendment to the House of Commons. His position was peculiar, and, as such, it is deserving of every possible con aideration. The anxiety for an immediate repeal of those obnoxious laws which had hitherto prevented a just and ade quate importation of provisions, was an anxiety generated so to speak, in the Anti-Corn-law League; it consti tuted, in fact, the paramount object for which that noble Association had so long and so manfully striven. With the very name of the League immediate repeal was associated in the popular mind, and to the members of that extraordinary body thousands were undoubtedly look ing for a visible fulfilment of its engagements, for a Parlia mentary demonstration in favour of immediate repeal, for an amendment, in short, precisely tallying with the one pro pounded by the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton. A movement of this identical description was, we may say with perfect accuracy, incumbent upon some ore amongst the legislators associated with the League. They could not possibly act otherwise without some claim upon general reprobation ; the formality of an amendment was necessary for their character, inasmuch as they conscientiously believed the advantage of an immediate abolition of the Customs duties. Mr. VILLIERS was selected as spokesman, and surely a fitter person than the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton could not have been chosen. Mr. VILLIERS had unquestionably fought through "good repute and evil repute" for those principles which are so speedily to become incorporated with our constitu tion, and therefore was a most proper and worthy exponent of the League and of its aspirations. Some individual must hare introduced an amendment of this nature—the Hon. Members for Stockport, or Durham, or Mr. Grasos, or any other, in fact, cf the Parliamentary Leaguers. Mr. VILLIERS was selected, performed his part with perfect honour and consistency to himself, and was defeated. We refer to these particulars from a feeling of justice : we do not wish to palliate Mr. VILLIERS or the League, because they require no palliation. They bad a certain specific act to per form, in consummation as it were of all their previous exer tions ; that same act has been performed with all due solem nity. Nevertheless, in exonerating the several mem bers of the Anti-Corn-law League, and Mr. VILLIERS amongst the number, from any pertinacious proceeding, we must take leave expressly and emphatically to repeat our satisfaction at the circumstance of Sir R. PEEL'S policy being now left entirely to i s own exclusive merits as the only possible and practicable free-trade scheme that could have been devised. Madrid papers of th• 27th ult. have been received. Oa that day the discussion on the Bill for indemnifying the lay titheholders was resumed, when the Finance Minister took the opportunity of making certain statements calculated to allay the anxiety of the public in reference to the new plans. The measure, he said, had originated with the former Go vernment, and so far from the new loan injuring credit, he was quite sure that it would have the contrary effect, and that public credit would soon rise. The law established one great point—the abolition of tithes, and the proposed grant for public worship and the clergy had been reduced by 9,000,000 real", which would afford additional means of paying the interest of the debt. The Gazett: publishes a royal decree appointing M. MARturu DE LA Rosa Am bassador of Spain in Paris. The prospect of a new loan had depressed the funds. The Three per Cents. closed at 30( for cash, and 30 13-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies some questions were put to the Minister of Public Works relative to a fat dl acci dent which, it was said, had occurred on the Lyons and St. Etienne Railway. The Minister regretted much to he obliged to state that a very dreadful accident had certainly occurred, the particulars of which he had received on Wed nesday morning from the Prefect of the Rhone. The shock was frightful. One of the locomotives was dashed to pieces, and several waggons were entirely crushed. On receiving intelligence of the accident, the Prefect, the Procureur du Roi, and the Procureur-General proceeded to the spot, and found that eight parsons had been killed and 30 wounded, of whom 10 very dangerou.•ly. "This melancholy accident," he added, "was not to be attributed to any defect in the construction of the line, but rather to a want of care and prudence on the part of the administration. The whole affair was at present under official investigation, which might call for punishment both criminally and civilly." He stated also, at the same time, that the cause of the fall of the Barentin viaduct was now perfectly well known to be a want of firmness in the bases of the columns on which the arches were constructed. In the Committees, the Deputies bad examined several bills, among others, two for the better fortification of Havre. By one a sum of 11,500,000 f were demanded for the fortifica tions towards the sea, and 10,000,000 f. for those on the land- side. By another Bill, the Government demands 16,000,000'.; for improvements in the harbour, and for the construction of four forts. Both Bills were approved of in the bureaux. Another Bill, demanding 19,200,000 f. for the fortifications ef Cherbourg was also examined, and ap proved of. The Postal Reform Bill called forth a length ened discussion, and was generally approved of. Several Members, however, warmly advocated a uniform postage. The insurrection in Poland is adverted to in most of the papers, but great mystery appears still to prevail on this; melancholy subject. It is distressing to hear of such gallant people constantly rising up against their oppressors, and often without the sl;ghtest prospect of success, only to be trampled down anew. Tie Journal des Debuts, in the following paragraph, attributes to Prussia and Austria merits to which they are not entitled, but the rest of it unfortunately is too true :—" Since the first par.. tition of Poland, now more than seventy years ago, the Poles have several times endeavoured to regain the independence of their country. They have always paid most dearly for their effort., which, though always heroic, were frequently inopportune and wanting in prudence. This last attempt, undertaken against the three powers, two of whom, Austria and Prussia, have shown great tolerence towards their Polish provinces, conforming besides to those principles of justice and humanity which cannot be denied their Govern ments, appears to us destined to draw down upon this unfortunate country only new misery." According to a letter from Breslow, of the 27th of February, the insur gents of Cracow were in possession of the town as late as the 95th, and the Provisional Government, in anticipation of an attack on the 23th by the Prussian troops, had ordered all the male inhabitants from eighteen to fifty years of age to take arms in support of the insurrection. A proclamation had been issued exhorting the people to exertion, and pro mising abolition of all their grievances. It is stated in one of the Paiia papers, that M. BotrrwrlEFF, the Russian Minister at Rome, had presented a note to the Pore, denying, in the most positive manner, the state ments relative to the persecution of the Basilian nuns at Minsk. Tile note contradicts the whole of the assertions alleged to have been made by the Lady Abbess.

On Saturday intelligence reayhed town Of 711( . total less of the Great Liverpoal steamer. which to..k piste on the 24th of February, off Cape Fitiisterre, by getting on shoals, at tour in the morning. Thg. catastrophe ap pears to have been wholly the result of accident. It is said that no blame whatever attaches to Captain the commander. Or.!y three lives were I,,st, 5,10 - :ough it is stated there were about one hundred and fifty souls on hoard. Mrs. Archer, from Bombay, a Miss Morris, aged seven, and an Indian female servant, were the three that perished by the swamping of the boat, while at tempting to escape. Seventy•nine of the passengers and twenty-one of the crew have arrived at Southampton I by the Pacha. which also had a narrow escape of being wrecked, having run on shore off Oporto. In the letter which follows, addressed by the captain to Mr. Allan, secretary of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company, there will be found a full account of the circumstances under which the catastrophe took plane. Among the passengers saved are—Captain Wright, Captain Arrow F. anon Bowen, Messrs. Homorton, Pugh, and Laforque; Mesdames Dunbard, Bradford, Prole, Laforque, Fearon, Edmonds, Dick, 13 children, and 14 female servants. " LOSS OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL. " Vice• Consulate•ofl'ice, District of Corcubion, Feb. 2S, 1846 " JAMES ALLAN, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. "Dear Sir—lt is with feelings of the most painful grief that I have to acquaint you, for the information of the managing directors, and all whom it may concern, that at four o'clock on the morning of the 24th instant, while steering N.N.E., with a strong wind from the S.S.W., and a heavy sea running, and about seven to ten miles from Cape Finisterre, the weather thick, dark, and hazy, the ship going about tin knots an hoer, we struck upon a shoal or rock, and made so much water in the engine-room, that she soon became unmanageable, from the fires being put out, and, consequently driftine to• wards the land, grounded on a small sand shoal, called Gueros, about a league and a half to the southward of Corcubion, where she lay, with her head to the south ward, broadside on the beach, at the distance of about three hundred yards, on which a heavy surf was break ing. The boats were all got ready for lowering, to land the passengers and crew, and the larboard life-boat was sent with a party of seamen and a line, to haul a rope on shore. which they with difficulty reached in safety, and we soon after got a hawser on sore, and the end of it made fast, an lhove taut from the ship. Mr. Hamilton, chief officer, was sent in toe launch with a party f passengers and crew. amongst whom were several ladies and children. All were safely landed, with the exception of Mrs. Archer. a child belonging to Mrs. Morris. about seven years old, and a native female Indian servant, Mho were lost in the surf on the beach by the swamping of the launch, though every exertion was made tnth by those on the beach and in the launch to save them. A !ter this the launch, which was with great difficulty hauled alongside by us on hoard, and baled out. made several succesful trips, and all on hoard were safely landed by eleven. A.M., going myself in the last trip, having previetisle ascertained that every person was out of the ship. The sea at that period was breaking heavily over her, and she was fast breaking up on the starboard side amidships. The pinnace was stove in in lowering, and the starboard quarter boat by the sea striking her violently. 0.. getting on shore, I found several articles. of ditferen• kinds, had already floated there, and a number of the people of the coast had come down, and were plunder. ing all they could get away, though all means were taken to prevent it. In fact, we have been most shame• fully plundered and robbed in every possible way. "Considering it necessary to communicate with the nearest a.nglish Consul or Agent, I dispatched Mr. Lane (purser) to Corcubion, where I learned a Con sular Agent resided, to claim protection for ourselves and property that might come on shore. On his arrival there, he found the Consular Agent (a Spaniard, and not speaking English), to be a person of no influence; indeed, apparently, incapable of rendering assistance of any sort; he therefore deemed it indispensable to pro ceed at once to Corunna, distance 45 miles, and com municate with M. Santos, the Consul General for Gallicia, and was promised by the Consular Agent that passports, horses, and guides, for himself, and three passengers, should be ready at half-past five on the following morning. Instead of this neither horses nor passports were ready, and, finally, a refusal to allow him to proceed. He afterwards found that the Consul had sent a message to Corunna that morning, without even allowing Mr. Lane to know he was going to do so. The passengers, I fear, have suffered much from the Vice-Consul not having sought or selected any place for them to go to; and also from the scarcity and difficulty of getting provisions of almost any sort, and the accommodation they have been enabled to get being of the most miserable description. "I am happy to say that every officer and man under my command behaved themselves, under these most try ing circumstances, to my most entire satisfaction; and 1 cannot omit mentioning to you the great assistance I re ceived, and the praiseworthy exertions that were made in our critical situation, by Captain Bowen, of the ship Hindostan, passenger on board, from Ceylon. " WEDNESDAY, 26TH.—The weather having mode rated for a few bourn, I went on board at low water, with the officers and crew, and succeeded in getting up and landing a great portion of the mails, a few packages of cargo, and some passengers' baggage, all in a most damaged state. On the afternoon of this day I came up to Uri! plisse to note a protest, being the earliest time I could gets away from the beach, but did not succeed in doing sc, till the following morning. " THURSDAY, 26TH.—Being unable to make the pro test in Spanish, I wrote it in English. and presented it to the-Vic s-Consul, a copy of which I enclose herewith. After tl Ifs I made an application to him, as to whether we coul d not get up from the beach (a distance of five miles, at ad over high hills) the mails and such articles as had elle tady been saved ; he applied to the Alcalde or Mayor )for twelve bullock carts, which was granted, and proceeded at noon to the beach, but on arrival there, the officer in charge from the Customs, a guards costs, would not permi t a single thing to be removed, although he ac knowledgi sd his inability to protect all the property from the ladros Les or thieves, saying that no order for their removal had been received. The carts, therefore, re turned e empty, and I immediately came back to the Vice Consul also to know how it was that he had not pro• cured a• a order if it were necessary. He said it must come / from the Minister of Customs, who just then came u p, and on applying t i him for an order to bring the mai Is, &c., to the Vice-Consul's house, i n s said the) must al I go to the Custom House at Corcubion, which is on the opposite side of the bay, to be under his custody. 110WOV4 ur, on reasoning with him, I believe he determined on alto wing the things to be put in the Vice-Consul', house (at least, until the arrival of M. Santos from Corunn a), and was to leave himself. at seven u'clock next m. erning for the purpose of removing them. "Du ring this time the officers and crew have been living c mder temporary tents on the beach, subsisting on such fo ad as could be got from the ship, with a supply of bread from this village (Cee). They are, of course. affordin g every protection in their power to the property, but the barefaced plundering that goes on is incredible. The sol fiery or caraboneros have even gone so far as to present the bayonetS at the officers and men while saving propert, y, which they (the soldiers) took in charge and 8 old aft. erwards themselves. - . " FRI DAY, 277134—During last night, blowing hard, the h'hip 'went entirely to pieces. The carts went to the beach, bin t from the state of the weather did not arrive in time to load ; they were in charge of the Minister of Customs. I deemed it proper to remain all night on the beach to Es cilitate the loading in the morning. During the night . a great concourse of people assembled, and lighted thir, teen fires around us from the wreck, and the most det,erm fined system of pillage was carried on with out the poss.;bility of preventing it. I sent Mr. Lane back to the village, to push thin s forward for the morn. ing, and on his arrival at five oclock, M. Santos, Vice- Consul from Comma, just then came in. The whole of the circumstances were laid before him, and he was fully cc minced of the badness of the Vice-Consul or agent b tore ; in fact, when he called him before Mr. Lane he seemed quite incapable of giving any explana- tion of Izi s conduct. M. Santos considered it best not to dismiss hl'm from his office at once, thinking it better to avail hi m self of his services until the settlement of the affair. SATES; RDAS, 28TH.—M. Santos arrived at the beach at seven t 'clock this morning, and through the authority with whiz h he came prepared, and his own unremitting exertions , sufficient carts and oxen, in addition to those already ngaged, to remove the whole of the mails and property ssved to the Vice-Consul's house by three p.m., accompanied by the whole of the officers and crew, who for the pl •esent occupy a large store-room of the Vice- Consul's. " Arra qgements have been made for starting the first batch of passengers to-morrow morning, and on the fol. lowing u torning another party will start for Corunna. Tie hdie s and children cannot po,sibly proceed until bide I :idol:a arrive from Quanna, which will be on Tues day heat.

I have deemed it prudent. after consulting with M. Santos, to remain here until I see everybody on their way to England, and I have therefore sent Mr. Lane with the first batch of pat sen gets, and instructions to proved with the dispatches by the speediest opportunity to St. Mary Axe. " The passengers have all been more comfortably housed lately, and both them and the ship's company are all well, with the exception of Lieut , nant William son, Admiralty agent, who has been very poorly since he left Malta.

LOSS OF THE CATARAQUE, EMI- GRANT SHIP. Lloyd's agent at Ifelh..urTw, New South Wales, in a lettsr dated the 4th October last, received on SaturdaN, furni-bes a little a . ltlitiona infertnation respecting the lamentable loss of the ship . Cataracpie, her crew and pas sengers, upon King's Island. The Colonial Governmc nt had taken steps for the in terment of the shipwrecked dead, and for the erec tion of a tablet - to mark the spot, and to record the calamitous event. At a public meeting convened upon the oecasion, it was observed that the fittest monument to commemorate such a melancholy loss of life, would be one which shonl'i guard against the future occurrence of similar catastrophes, by the erection of a light-house by Government, either upon the island or Cape Otway. • Imperatively as a light-house is required on one or other of those positions, to serve as a guide to the western entrance of Bass's Straits, there appears, it is said, to be but little prospect of its erection, although the occurrence of five wrecks upon King's Island since the year 1835 would seem sufficient evidence to convince the Government of its necessity. The Neva, with female convicts, in 1835, the Harbinger in 18—, the Isabella in 1840, the Rebecca in 1843, and the Catareque in 1845 have all been totally wrecked on King's Island. Wi reference to these wrecks, Lloyd's agent reratok•i. that the sailing direction for Bass's Straits appears to him to excite an 'unnecessary fear ef approaching the main Led of Australia on account of the swell prevailing from the S.W., and that the .swell is quite as dangerous if King's Island be approached, too closely, for that the Neva and Isabella were both driven on ihore by it. The inter colonial traders have no such fear of approaching the main land, and constantly coast from port to por': in Australia. Instead, therefore, of vessels approaching the Straits in lat. 40 deg. south, it would appear safer for them to sight the main land somewhere between Kangaroo I , 1 ind end Cape Nelson, and from tOence to take a fresh departure for Cape Otway. • Lloyd's agent also obe-rves that the lighthouse would be of more g' nerd. sent ice if [Awed noon Cape Ot mao , in preference to King's Island, se d an addit.onal reason for its being so placed, arises from the circumstance et King's Island being within the jurisdiction of Van Diemen's Land, which, in these ne,:h.,:ted colonic 5, would oc , ‘asion the . 10-s of much time brio re a-range ments could be made hetween the two governmenr, (New South Wales and Van Dietnen't• Land) for it, i. , rcetion there. In illoitrationof tt,i, rex6on, it is ob served that the olatter was taken in hand 'hy both ro, vernmerns in 1842. but that nothin4 whatever has b: cu done up to the present d,,te. A public subscription for the benefit of the survivors of th. , Caranique had been opened, and realized 151/ 3,4, which had partly been exoended in that manner. and ttie rereainder to Mr licw,e, and his parry, who supplied them with provision. &c. The wreck of the Cat,iraque and remaining c tug° had been sold for F 6/. - THE 'UN'' EXPRESSES. "TH le SUN" NEWSPAP u.—Thro ugh Mr. Gerrish, News Agent here (Devizes), we received copieA of the Mulling Sun before eight o'clock, within five hours of the termination of the debate, a triumph of speed which a few years ago would have been deemed impossible. For this act of kiudness we are doubly obliged to the spirited preprieter, as it enabler+ us to give the Mechanics' Institution the benefit of early infor mation by placing a copy on the table of their reading room. —Wiltshire Independent. EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—The great debate on Friclay night, preceding the division which to k place at a quarter past three on the following morning, was fully re,orted in The Sun of Saturday last, accompanied be a clearly written summary, and, by the enterprise of Mr. Murdo Young —one of the great pillsrs of the B. his!' press—Arrivel, engine, iu Sheffir ld, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the same day.

We were indebted to The Sun newspaper for this express; none of the morning journals arrived until the usual hour.—Nottinghent Review. NEWSPAPER ENTEEPRIZ E. —The quickest transmission of intelligence which we have ever had to Cambridge was effected by The. Sun newspaper last Saturday morning. The division en the corn-laws took place a few minutes after three, and at a quarter before six, that is in considerably less than three hours after the division, we had a full report and analysis of the debate, with the division, down in Cambridge. The papers were of course sent by special engine on the rail. —Cambridge Chronicle. Txa Dtvtstobt.—The result of the division on the corn-law debate, which took place at three o'clock on Saturday, was received here by the train at three in the aftemoon—at which hour we were furnished with the whole debate by Mrs. Noble, news-agent, of the Market-place. The Hamburgh st -saner being about to sail for Hamburgh that afternoon, copiPs of The Sun and Times were sent out by her, and woeld probably carry the fi7 - i. , tolligence to Gerntnny.—fia ,idrertieer. " THE ST -4' Sattirdn.y - warning, shortly after eight e - cbek, a copy of that morning's Sun, forwarded by Murdo Young, Esq., tho proprietor, was left at our office, containing the close of the great debate in the House of Commons, and- the division, which tonic plate at half past two o'clock—the House not adjourning till a quarter-past three. The other morning papers also sent expresses, but The Sun was the first delivered, and the first to spread the news along the road. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Young for his liberal and polite attention, which enabled ns, at so early an hour, to put our readers in possession of such important intelligence.—Korfolk Chronicle. THE DIVISION ON THE CORN- LAW DEBATE.—SPECIAL. EXTREMES OF THE DAILY PAPERS. —ln the third edition of our last week's paper we acknowleditcd the early receipt of The Sun newspaper and of the Du ly News, containing the closing speeches of the debate and the division. Boih the papers reached Leeds about one o'clock by special engines, and within a few minutes of each other; and we attributed the successful arrangements to Air. W. H. Smith, news-agent, of 192, Strand, London. This we learn wax an error, the ex presses, in these cases, having been under the sole direeti , at of the newspaper offices. It may, however, be mentiened as an evidence of are vigilance and spirit of Mr. Smith, that the cost of the special engine expresses, furnished by him on other occasions during the debate. alone has amounted to nearly 1,0001. We believe too that the acceleration of trains li tween London and the North. referred to in a paragraph in our Supplement, fe. chiefly owing to the representations made by Mr. Smith to Mr. Hudson, M.E. Ltatl4 is among the towns which experience the advantage of this acceloratioe, the Mocning papers of each_day arriving nOw at a qwrter to t)tr4ii, instead of a quarter to four r.ss. Wonderful as the circumstance of the London r,e s being ie Leeds so - arly after its publication in the metropolis would have o, thought a few years since, it is haight that might be made which would hrii.g it stil earlier than the pre:9ent to all Rims of the norzt. Should a plan to effect that object be suggested to the railway aut.horhie..,. we hope it will meet with their favourable errnideration.— Afereury. We have to acknowledge our ohligstions to Mar& Young, Esq., the spirited proprietor of The Sun, by whose exser hers we received, on Saturday evening his:, intelligeiree by express of the division in the House of Commons on Sir R bert Peel's measure. The arrival of The San anticipated the mail by I 4 hours.—North Devon Journal. RALLWAY SPEED —The Sun newspaper, which tnt the example in expediting important intelligence througho:!t the kingdom by nwans of ExpreNs editions, has frilly tnain tained its character during the lace deba e. On Saturci;:v, early edition of that influential and will-conducted j,ittnal anticipated even the Times in almost every place whither both papers were sent. We have been—in common with the rest of the press--under so many ohlig.ztions to The Sun, that we have great gratification in thus announcing how— for the two hundredth time—it has communicated - intelli gence to the public in advance of all competitors.—Railway Express, Mits. TIViLLOPE'S NEW WOEK, " THE ROI3ERTS'S ON THEIR TaAvErs," will be generally regarded as one of this popular writer's most successful works. Her caustic powers are exerted in it to their full scope; and while the vulgarities and absurdities of "The Roberts's" during their grand tour in France, Germany, and Italy, are as amusingly sketched as can well be conceived, the moral purpose of the story (which is not its least recommendation) is never lost sight of. The Quarterly Review has observed of Mrs. Trollope, that "she is beyond a doubt one of the cleverest and most remarkable writers of the day. With a quickness of observation which takes in the whole object at a glance, an insight into motives that seems instinctive, a keen perception of the ridiculous, and strong powers of humorous delineati. al, she is tie person of all others to expose p[eteasi,nis, or unniesk These remarks could not be better applied than iu the case ,f "The Roberts's on their Travels."
