Protestant.—( Hear.) That for the same reason they will not pave the street before his honse, and that _they- will tell the watchman not to watch it ; and even suppose them to do all these things, how, I ask, is this to affect the Irish Church Es teblishment. Really, Sir, is hen this opposition is pot epote anything like a d e fi n it e groun d , i t necessarily sipptere so lu dicrous and contemptible, that we are driven to believe that something more is intended than is openly stated.—( Hear, Lear. ) There is no fear that these corporate bodice. will or can attack the Irish Church ; but it is believed that they will ace custom the people to self-government; that the great maseus will thus, by the protection afforded them, become mere power ful ; and that the oppression and insult se long the favourite pleasure of the persecuting minority of Ireland, will thus be entirely destroyed.—(Cheers.) The powers conferred arc not things dreaded ; the immediate Mischief to per sonal security, or to property, which is so much 'talked of, is not, in fact, appreLended ; but the habits that will be created among the people are, indeed, viewed uith intense and unecntrolable terror. We dread, 9lyt the peaceful Orangeman, he who has been a turbulent tyrant all his life, we d rea d t h e ag i tat i on that will be practis e d in these Corporations. There is nothing like giving an ill werd to a thing—( Hear)—this fashion of fallacy is as old as language. Let us, however, learn what is actually meant. What is meant is, that the people of the towns will now govern themselves.; they will be accustomed to elect their own councillors; they will daily, before the eyes of their constituents, carry on the business of the neighbouahood ; the people will watch them ; u ill acquire daily and hourly the habits necessary for the due use of the re p resentat i ve machinery. They will daily act still further beyond the subjection to which they have hitherto been accustomed. In short, Sir, they will hourly become a more independent and better convinced people.—( Hear.) Hence this opposition—hence all this anger—hence all this base dis simulation, this whining hypocrisy concerning religion and Protestantism.—( Hear.) Religion is not what they are anxi ous about, but power —power which they are about to lose, and which, up to the present day, the Government of this country has allowed them to employ to their own indivi dual benefit and the general ruin.—( Hear, hear.) In the hope of exciting the people of England to resist with them this desired reform, they have attempted to join their unholy inte rests to those of the religion of this country ; they are now trying to play upon our credulity, and seek, by the aid of fana ticism and bigotry, to maintain their own mischievous domi nion ; but. their day is over—( Hear)—their power is doomed to destruction ; and spite of the assistance and pious endeavours of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, justice will be done to Ireland. —(Cheers.) Before I sit down I hope the House will permit me to call their attention, and more especially the attention of the Right lion. Gentleman the Member for Tamworth, to the end which the opponents of this Bill must have in view. If we deny this measure to Ireland, we must be prepared to govern that country upon principles entirely different from by which the Government of Great Britain is guided.—( Hear.) Now, lam not going to ask if they be willing to do this. I would only ask the Right lion. Gentleman if he can do it? Does he be lieve that a whole people, amounting to near seven millions of souls are to be thwarted and insulted with impunity ?—( Hear.) Does he believe that at this period of man's history, and by the side of the most enlightened nation of the earth, principles and doctrines of government suited for the dominion of St. Peters burgh can be carried into actual practice ? Let me put the Puestion pl a inly : —D oes any one believe that the system of rotestant supremacy can be continued in Ireland without civil war ?—( Hear, hear.) Is he prepared upon any ground stated by him, or that can be suggested by his friends, to risk a civil war in Ireland ?_( Hear, hear.) If he be not prepared for this, his conduct appears without any defence. The world at large usually attributes to the Right Hon. Gentleman the qua lity of prudence. He has won this reputation by a regulated demeanour—by a somewhat precise, formal, and guarded man ner of expressing his opinions. A reputation of this descrip tion is, I allow, of great advantage, but it leads men some times to scrutinize severely conduct that in others might pass - without much comment.—( Hear, hear.) We assume that the Right Hon. Gentleman always knows what he is doing—that he has weighed the consequences of his acts, and that he is prepared for them. Thus in the present case we assume that be sees the great dangers of his course—we suppose that when he has aided in denying this measure to Ireland, that he is prepared to govern her at the bayonet's point—that he is pre pared to justify before the people the ruin, disaster, and blood shed that will follow his hopeful project. We pscsume that he tees these things._that he acts upon reflection—and we judge him accordingly,—(The Hon. Member sat down amidst loud cheers.) Mr. SHAW would at once direct his observations to the question before the House. It was asked why they refused to give to Ireland the same institutions as were called good for England and Scotland ; but the House had been told by the Hon. Member for Teignmouth, and the Hon. Member for Huntingdon, that Corporate Reform had done no good for the country.—(Hear.) Not a single town had petitioned for a charter of incorporation. He would willingly give the same institutions to Ireland as England and Scotland, if the situa tions of the countries were similar, but he contended they were not. He had been asked why the people of Ireland should not be allowed to manage their own Corporation affairs. His answer was that they never could, for there was a higher power that would not allow them—the power of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny.—( Hear.) The Noble Lord the Member for Northumberland said the Church had been in troduced that night for the first time. Such was not the fact —it formed the subject of debate last Session. There could not be a doubt but that the object of the present Bill was to overthrow the Protestant Church in Ireland.—( Hear. ) That Church was obnoxious to certain parties who led the people on to the destruction of the Protestant Establishment. It was said that Corporation Reform was not denied, because the people were Irish, but because they were Roman Ca tholics. No such statement had ever been made. He did not think, however, that if power was given, it would be pre judicial to all parties. They all agreed that the old Corpo rations should he abolished, and a good and peaceful local government established. The only difference was as to the mode of obtaining it.—(Hear.) The Government said, give forty-seven Corporations to Ireland. Those who differed frcern them considered justice would be best administered by abolishing them altogether. He agreed as to the mode of ap pointing Sheriffs and police officers—he agreed to place those appointments under the controul of the Government. He also agreed in th e expe di ency of abolishing tolls, as far as possibl, and then to give the residue of corporate funds, if any, in equal proportions to every district, but not to have any Corporation in future. Ireland was divided into two great parties, which might be called the Protestant party and Catho lic party. The first was determined to support and uphold the Established Church ; they would part with all political and civil rights sooner than they would consent, for one moment, to give up the interests of the Church.—(Hear.) The opinions of the Catholic party might be und ers t oo d b y t h e l anguage and writing s o f t h e Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny, who said to the Protestants, " You have had your day, and we will now have ours."—( Hear.) The present was not a bone fide measure of relief to Ireland—it was not for the sole purpose of Corporation Reform, but to encourage normal schools of agitation.—( Hear.) The Hon. and Learned Member then referred to several clauses in the Bill, and the letters of Mr. O'Connell, which he contended clearly proved that the projectors of the measure were not actuated by the sole de sire of reforming corporations in Ireland. It was clear to him (Mr. Shaw) that the Government were suspicious of their own measure.—( Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches.) He would ask, was it likely to establish good government in Ireland to have annual corporation elections—( Hear, hear),_ to give opportunities for party triumphs, and to create a system of everlasting canvassing ?._( Hear.) S ure l y , t hi s was a cu rious remedy for the evils which existed. The House was told that nearly two millions of people in Ireland were border ing on starvation. He would ask, if giving them 47 corpo rations would do any good towards relieving their wants ?-e -( Hear, hear.) In fact, Corporate Reform would never have created the least interest in Ireland had it not been for the agi tetion of the lion. Member for Kilkenny.—( Hear, hear, from Mr, O'Connell.) The Hon. Member not only insisted upon Corporate Reform, but for the total abolition of tithes; and then in one of his letters lie said that the destruction of the Church would soon follow.—( Hear.) Suppose Lord Lynd hurst did use the expression that the Irish were aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in religion, but which he slid not admit—( Hear)—what was the language of the lion. Member for Kilkenny towards the people of England ? Let the House hear in mind the lion. Member's abuse of the English, and then they would not think much of what was called the insulting language of the Noble and Learned Lord. —( Hear.) Hon. Members on his ( Mr. Shaw's) side of the House, were also told that they gave rise to the National Association in Ireland. lie totally denied that statement ; but the objects of that Association were of the most danger ous description. Mr. Marcus Costello said the Association, in less than twelve months, would break the necks of their opponents.—( Hear.) Several appointments to Commissions in the Peace had lately been made of the most violent agitators ill Ireland. How then could good government be expected, or justice administered in such a state of things? The lion. and Learned Member concluded by saying that many lion. Gentlemen Mould vote for the present question, because it was one step further towards the destruction of the Protestant Church in Ireland.—( Hear.) Mr. BROTHERTON then rose. (it being three minutes ',net twelve o'clock) and moved art adjournment which was carried. The Orders of the the Day ;,;ere then disposed of, and the Ilouse adjourned at a queertei. past Twelve o'Clock. -- -- -------_ _____ , e have been informed that some infatuated wretches have revived the " Scotch Cattle" atrocities on the Hdlg.—Let the malefactors beware !An unfortunate man suffered an ignominious d ea th i n f ront o f the gaol of Mon mouth, in the Spring Assises of 1833, for joining a riot of this description ; and the Judges of the land will let the law take its Course on future convictions.--41Ierlin. The total number of petitions for private bills pre sented to tho House of Commons this Session, is 248; of which number there are 77 Bills for railways, 2.3 for roads, 11 'creanals, 14 for harbours, and 12 for inelosures.

A plea that the composition was made at less than the value will not avail, as in such case the Commissioners will not possess power or authority to increase the average ; as the average of the compositions will " fairly represent the sum for calculating a commutation of tithes" under the 37th Section. I should say that there will be very few cases where the Commissioners will have power to exert the privileges given them in the 38th Section. One, for instance, will be where parties, being entitled to tithes, have neither compounded for them nor taken them in kind—say cottagers' gardens. Now that the payment will fall on the landlord instead of the poor parishioner, the clergyman will have a reasonable claim to the average being increased, so that it be not increased more than one-fifth ; and thousands of instances will be found where the landlord's rent- charge will find its way to the cottager's pocket, from the liberality of the clergyman. Those tithe-owners who have given notice to take their tithes in kind, and others who increased their former composi tionl, under the persuaion that the rent-charge will be founded on an average value of the seven years next preceding the Como pulsory commutation, may detect their error by reference to the 37th Section of the Tithe Commutation Act.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—It is rumoured that the beautiful Lady M--.. N.--- is about to be united to Captain 11—, of the Guards. Earl de Grey is making magnificent additions and improvements to his country scat, Newby Hall, Yorkshire ; the interior also is being fitted up with great taste and expense. The Marquis of Waterford has taken Lowesby House, Leicestershire, the seat of Sir-Frederick G. Fowke, Bart., for the purpose of enjoying the celebrated hunting in that county. His Lordship generally has his house filled with sporting friends, principally his own countrymen. The Duke of Suaterland's seat, Trentham-hall, in Straffordshire, is rebuilding on a scale of great magnificence from the plan of Mr. Charles Barry, architect of the new !louses of Parliament. The Noble Duke and his family will chiefly reside at Lilies Hall, until the new mansion is recon structed. Sir Francis Burdett is, recovering from his late at tack of the gout. It was the most severe one the worthy Baronet ever had. Major-General Lord F.

DARING ROBBERY AT SANDWICII.—At Christ mas last, Mr. Coleman, of the Fleur-de-Lis here, discharged a man, named John Sully, who had lived with him as ostler nearly three years —there was, at the time of his leaving, no suspicion that he had acted dishonestly, although money and other articles had been occasionally missed. On Wednesday, the 15th instant, a commercial traveller arrived at the inn, his portmanteau, titc,, were deposited in the commercial room. In the morning, after breakfast, the gentleman had occasion to open his boxes, when he found that his portmanteau and driv ing -box had been broken open, and some wearing apparel and other articles taken away, A close examination of every per. son employ:A on the premises was instituted, but still no clue could be discovered, and it was even supposed that the rob bery might have been committed on some previous stage of the journey. Although every exertion was made, nothing was elicited till the evening of Friday, when a lad, named Henry Williams, employed in the stables, heard something among..th e hay in the loft above, to which he ascended, and supposing it to proceed from some strange cat, went down again for a lantern ; on his return he saw, to his great surprise, the man Solly standing before him with a bundle. Ile im mediately ran down, and having placed a man to watch the door, went and informed his master. In the meantime, Solly escaped at the back of the premises, and proceeded over the tops of the houses, descending and ascending with the agility of a monkey, pursued by a great number of persons, and was at length observed to descend into the yard of D. Hodgson, Esq., Banker, where, after a diligent search, he was found in ' the dung-heap, completely buried in the dung. On his being taken to the Fleur-de-Lis, and searched, there was found on his person three five-pound notes, eighteen pounds eleven shillings in gold and silver, and seven shillings and eightpence farthing in copper, also several small articles belonging to the traveller. The dung-heap was searched next morning, when a bundle, containing the wearing-apparel, tiLe , were found near the place he had been concealed in the night before.' He has since confessed that the money was stolen from Mr. Coleman. He was yesterday taken before the Magistrates, and fully committed for trial. Lord De Roos, a Peer, a kinsman of the only Irish Duke, has been found guilty of gross and deliberate cheating at cards. He was a gambler of the meanest, basest sort. Of such materials are hereditary legislators made, and of such stuff is rank and title composed.

In the House of Lords, yesterday, several petitions, differing in their objects, were presented, on the subject of Church-rates. Out of one of them, presented by Earl FrrzwiLLlAns, praying for the abolition, arose an interest ing discussion, which we have noticed in a separate article. The Report of the Irish Grand Juries Bill was brought up. The Births, &c. Registration Bill was read a third time, and sent to the Commons. The House then adjourned In the House of Commons, the new Members, Mr. IlmtcouitT, for the County of Bucks, and Mr. POWER, for the Borough of Dungarvan, severally took the oaths and their scats. Petitions embracing a variety of subjects were presented. Two, on the subject of the Deptford and Dover Railway, presented by Mr. WARBURTON, contained statements af fecting more than one Member of the House, who had in some sort connected themselves with the Joint-stock Com pany to which the petitions related. Petitions for and against Church-rates poured in again last night abundantly. Sir R. PEEL presented a singular petition from Dundee. It related to certain vessels which were confined in the ice at Davis' Straight ; and the petitioners prayed the House to take the case into its consideration, and grant a sum of money sufficient to fit out an expedition to go in search of the missing ships. They also stated that a communication had been made to the Treasury and to the Admiralty ; but they complained that they had not received that encourage ment which they considered they had a right to expect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having intimated that certain papers connected with the subject would prove that the Government ought not to interfere, Sir R. PEEL withdrew the petition, promising to take an early op portunity to move for the production of the papers alluded to by Mr. S. RICE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in reply to Mr. GLADSTONE, that lie felt confident he should be able to bring forward the measure of Church-rates at an early period on Thursday evening. Mr. Fox MAULE stated, in answer to Major BRUCE'S inquiry on the subject of the distress in the Highlands and Hands of Scotland, that the attention of Government had been directed to the distress which was said to prevail in Scotland. An inquiry had been instituted on the sub ject, and as soon as the result was known, measures to to meet the extent of the distress would be adopted. The adjourned debate on the Irish Municipal Corpora . tions Bill was then resumed by Mr. Sergeant JACKSON. After Mr. O'BRIEN, Mr. 13oLwER, Mr. G. YOUNG, Colonel PERCEVAL, Lord Howicx, Mr. Romcic, and Mr. SIIAW, had severally spoken, the Houso adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve. The arguments employed by the party, who deny that the Irish are competent to manage their own affairs were last night, it will be seen, as devoid of novelty and as destitute of interest, as they were found on Monday. An exceedingly narrow view of the question was taken by Mr. Sergeant JACK SON and hisparty, whose arguments turned mainly on isolated cases of persons who had been tried in Ireland. As was remarked by an Hon. Member, not one of the advocates for destroying Municipal institutions, dared to argue the subject on the question of good government. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report, that the intrinsic merits of the question were not approached by the Tory orators, who throughout evaded the real point at issue. The discussion on the Irish Municipal Reform Bill was again adjourned last night. The earlier portion of the de bate was intolerably heavy ; and no wonder, for Mr. Ser geant JACKSON kept repeating, with little variation, for nearly three hours, the same trite charges against Govern ment, which he had brought forward a few nights previously. It is clear, from the remarks of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, that the Tories cannot at all digest the cle mency lately exercised by the Lord Lieutenant, in the cours e of one of his progresses through Ireland. Had he sinned on the side of severity, they could have borne with, and even eulogised him ; but a sinning on the side of mercy is what they cannot by any means be brought to en nf erey the en dure.

Now we must honestly acquit them on this score, at least as fsr as their condemnation of Lord Mur.- )Irtait'l3 clecrvitpolicy is concerned ; for we firmly believe that in condemning LIM fkif cletcl,ling fhb prerogative of mercy, they speak out right from the heart. No mere part j, feeling prompts them here. " Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh ;" and the Tory nature being essentially tyrannical and cruel, the faction cannot, even if it would, disguise its natural instinct. Hence the lavish severity—the unappeasable virulence—of its abuse of Lord MULGRAVE—abuse which has been repeated every night of the Session, and was last night urged with more rancour, if possible, than ever. Mr. BULWER'S remark that the Tories defended one crime by another—that is to say, " defended an unequal Protestant Establishment by depriving the people of Mu nicipal Corporations,"—was adroit and pertinent to a high degree. But indeed his whole speech was full of close, pithy reasoning, seasoned by piquant sarcasm, and made an evident impression on the House. What could be better than his query—" are wo to legislate for a nation, or are we to legislate against a man ?" The Tories felt the full I force of this hit, and showed that they felt it, by their fre quent attempts at interruption. Lord HOWICK disposed of the STANLEY sophistries in very summary style. If, observed his Lordship, it was sup posed that the granting Corporation Reform would be in jurious to the Protestant Establishment, because all the members of Town-councils, &c., would make a point of ex erting their influence against the interests of that Establishment, such a supposition was tantamount to a conviction on the part of those who entertained it, that the Protestant Church was held in general detestation throughout Ireland, which of course it would not be, without some good and sufficing cause. But the Tories and the Dilly driver hold an opinion directly the reverse. They consider the Irish Church every way suited to the wants of the inhabitants ; and yet at the same time they take for granted that all the Members of all the Reformed Corporations in Ireland will make a point of striving their utmost to injure it ! What absurd inconsistency is here ! We arc almost sur prised that Lord Howlck. should have thought it worth his while to reply to such drivelling sophistry. It is with great pleasure that we point attention to the speech of Mr. RoE Buck:. It was bold, lucid, convincing, especially that portion of it wherein the speaker exposed the utter fallacy of the Tory hypothesis, that the Protes tant religion would die if the Protestant parsons were not paid. Mr. ROEBUCK also made several happy allusions to Sir R. PEEL'S political sagacity—allusions with which, the Right Hon. Baronet will, we suspect, be more edified than pleased. On the whole, the debate was a heavy one, which is chiefly to be attributed to the persevering oratorical efforts of Messrs. SHAW, PIZACEVAL, and JACKSON. Earl FITZWILLIAM delivered a speech last night in the House of Lords which is calculated to produce, and which we are sure will produce a powerful effect throughout the country. The Noble Earl, in presenting petitions from Newport and Yarmouth, in the Isle of Wight, praying for the abolition of Church -rates, took the opportunity thus afforded him to tell the Right Rev. Bench some home truths, which may perhaps not be less salutary, although obviously less pleasing, than the flattering accents which are too often addressed to Episcopal ears. The Bishops were frankly told by the Noble Lord, that the hostility of the Dis senters to the Established Church was the natural result of the intolerance exercised towards them by the clergy, and that as these reverend persons had sowed the wind, they must be content to reap the whirlwind. "It was impos- sible," said he, " for the Dissenters not to recollect that so long as there remained a chance of maintaining those laws by which the Dissenters were excluded from the full enjoyment of the civil privileges and rights of their fellow countrymen, the hierarchy of the Church of England did not join with those who sought to relieve the Dissenters from the stigma under which they so long laboured, and those disabi lities under which they could scarely be said to enjoy the rights of Englishmen. On the contrary, they stood to the very last in the gap, and endeavoured to prevent the Dissenters from participating in the enjoyment of those privileges to which all the rest of their fellow subjects were entitled." These are memorable words. They aro the words of truth and soberness. They come not from a rampant enemy of the Church, hut from one of her most enlightened and devoted adherents—from one who considers it no part of his duty to give her that false support which arises from concealing her faults, and bolstering up her abuses, but who desires, above all things, to see her established on the strong foundation of Christian benevolence—of universal charity. The intolerant spirit of the Church of England has been its ruin. The fact is, it never was properly reformed. It threw off a few of the doctrines, but it retained the prin ciples of the Church of Rome. Above all, it clung to that principle which is the key-stone of the arch—the principle of infallibility. Where such a principle is backed by the power of the State, it is impossible that it should not be the prolific source of persecution. The persecuting principle may indeed be held in check by the growing in telligence of the people—it may be overawed by public opinion so as to prevent those outbreaks which its natural working would produce ; but where it can, whore it dare show itself, it will. Do we not find that it has been so in fact ? Look to history, and it tells you that from the Restoration down to the present day, the spirit of clerical intolerance has been constantly at work, only with more or less energy according to the political aspect of the times. From 1662, when the Church of England expelled froM her bosom upwards of two thousand of her ablest and most pious ministers, because they would not violate their consciences by conforming to what they considered unscriptural practices, down to the present moment, when relief from the grievance of Church-rates is opposed by the Established Clergy, the most careless inquirer can not fail to recognise in the conduct of Churchmen towards Dissenters a uniform and undeviating career of intolerance, that intolerance, too, always carried to the utmost point that the circumstances of the times would allow. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY attempted to vindi cate the Clergy from the charge, but the Bishop of LONDON, with an honesty and a regard to truth which sv• were not prepared to expect from that quarter, confessed that it was so. The Clergy he said had been intolerant, and continued so longer than the Protestant clergy of other countries, but they were im proving. This is some consolation. The state of affairs in Lower Canada is deplorable. No ?concessions short of fundamental changes in the constitu tion of the Colonial Government will now satisfy the House of Assembly. By command of his MAJESTY, copies of the despatches which passed between the Colonial Secretary, Lord GLENELG, and his Excellency, the Governor-in-Chief of Lower Canada, Lord GOSPORD, from the 12th of No vember, 1835, to the 20th of November, 1836, have been submitted to Parliament ; and we need no other evidence to convince us that the question at issue in the Canadas will not be setAat rest by any measure yet seriously contemplated by the Constitutional advisers of the Crown. We rather fear that there are some members of his Majesty's Govern ment who lack the courage to cope manfully with real dif ficulties, and that on the part of the Cabinet generally there is a strong leaning towards a perpetual recurrence to tempo rary expedients. This is a most mistaken policy. The reforms which would entirely eradicate the abuses com plained of this year, must be quadrupled to prove effectual, if these abuses be allowed to exist undisturbed till the next. Wherever recourse is had to temporary shifts and expedients to satisfy the just demands of a suffering people, the most humble solicitations will be succeeded by remonstrances, and remonstrances by menaces. Governments should re member that it must ever be a sybilline bargain between them and the people. Popular demands increase, in propor tion as the amount of service and gratitude which they offer in requital decreases. Had the measures which we know to be now contemplated by the British Cabinet for the tran quillization of the Canadas been adopted in 1824, they would have permanent!) secured the peace and happiness of the Colonists ; but the delay in their application renders them entirely nugatory. Even so late as 1832 it was in the power of Lord STANLEY and his colleagues, to have taken decisive steps for restoring harmony between the local Governments of the Canadas and the Mother Country, without having recourse to the extreme measures which are now become "-nensable to our further retention of our only valuable North America. But it will serve no good nstant. purpose to dwell now upon the errors of former Govern- Merits, The present Ministers must make the best they tan of existing circumstances, The Canadians demand a LeFislative Council, in the appointment of which the prin. tilde of free election shall be exercised. Well, what is there that ought to dfitight rid honest Administration in this? No man in his senses would cddipare the Legisla tive Council of Lower Canada to the British flolti4t of tieeti=- - -1104 as that House is ; and the demand which seeks only td vtitify and controul the acts of such a body, is equally just and Constitutional, The Bri tish Constitution admits the existence' of a House of Lords, but it recognizes no mock shadows of that Assembly. Now, it is notorious that the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, even since that colony was ceded to England, has been, and continues to be, composed of place-men and pensioners, and every individual of any rank remarkable for subserviency to the dictates of the Crown. It is, therefore, impossible that the honest re presentatives of the people should everlastingly suffer themselves to be bearded by the mere tools of a Governor , in-Chicf. Most of the other demands made by_ the Canadians are not less reasonable, and ought forthwith to be granted with a good grace. Concession—full and entire concession—is the only effectual remedy for the discontent that prevails in the Canadas, and we do not hesitate to con demn before-band„a recourse to any other. All further in. vestigations into •the cause of the disaffection can only ter minate in the useless waste of time and money. The Paris Papers of Monday, the whole of which we have just received, contain an official account of the dis covery of another plot to assassinate the King of the FRENCH. The head of the conspiracy, was a journeyman mechanic named CHAMPION . , who had planned the con struction of an infernal machine for the accomplishment of his purpose. In consequence of information given to the Police, he was seized at his residence on Sunday morning, and conveyed to prison. Proofs the most ample of his guilt were discovered in the apartments occupied by him. When interrogated, he made no mystery of his designs, and it is said, gave such evidence as will lead to the discovery of his accomplices. The momentary absence of the keeper of the prison, afforded him an opportunity of committing suicide, of which he availed himself'. When the keeper returned he was quite dead, having strangled himself by means of his cravat. His death has greatly disappointed the officers of justice, who hoped to be furnished by him with a clue to all the secret associations in the capital. One of the papers before us states that CHAm- PION was a dissolute, determined scoundrel. He had be longed formerly to a French corps, and served under Don PEDRO, in Portugal. The troop to which he belonged committed so many outrages and robberies, while in Por tugal, that it was found necessary to surround it with an English division, and forcibly convey it on board a vessel to remove it out of the Kingdom. Two of the Neuilly regicidal conspirators were members of this hopeful corps. Latterly CHAMPION employed his leisure hours in constructing an infernal machine similar to that of FIESCHI, but instead of one row of gun-barrels, he mounted three, in the form of a semicircle, so that it would have been impossible for the KING to have escaped the dis charge of such an instrument. The barrels were so le velled that if simultaneously discharged, each row would tell within a certain distance. The way in which the Go vernment was made acquainted with this affair was by anonymous letters addressed personally to the KING and the Prefect of Police. The letters were traced to an old clothes man residing in the same house with CHAMPION. When first found out by the police, be was in the very act of writing another monitory letter to the KING. He knewbut little personally of CHAMPION, but he had heard enough from his servant, who was CHAMPION'S mistress, to suspect him of a design against the KING'S life. The villain had confided his secret to the woman, and even pointed out to her the house on the road to Neuilly in which he intended, living when his plot was ripe for execution. The police found the machine, and seized CHAMPION, who offered no resist ante. His first exclamation was that he was lost—that his hair was long enough to allow the executioner to hold up his head to the people—that he only regretted having so long delayed the murder of the KlNG—but that as a last consolation he left those behind him who would not fail to strike the blow that would rid France of a tyrant. Before the Commissary of Police he repeatedly expressed his sorrow that be had not killed the KING, and appeatd to glory in his wickedness. This affair, dreadful as it is, has excited very little inte rest beyond the gates of the Palace. The people are so weary of plots, and so indifferent to the subjects of them, that they no longer trouble their heads about them. The care of her Kings is becoming too much for France. The more intelligent among the middle classes are convinced that the KING only wearies out the people, that he may seize upon the occasion which their lassitude will afford him to re-establish the old corps of Royal Guards. If, like PISISTRATUS, he can but obtain a sufficient guard for his person, he will soon throw aside the Constitutional mask in which he is now constrained to appear in public. The advice: from the North of Spain contained in the French journals represent Don CARLOS as making every preparation in his power to defend himself in Guipuscoa. The loss of that province would be a death-blow to him, as it contains the foundries that supply his soldiers with arms and ammunition. In his anxiety to maintain his pre sent positions, the Pretender has condescended to visit the works, and to encourage his men in person, to persevere in their mad resistance, while they have heads upon their shoulders. Supplies of money, clothing, and provisions for the use of the QUEEN'S army reached Pampeluna on the 10th There is little else of importance in the French Papers. The greatest disaffection prevails in the army, and on all sides appearances indicate the approach of serious troubles in France. Accounts from Africa represent ADD-EL KADER as disposed to enter into a treaty of peace with France on terms highly advantageous to the Citizen KING. As conquest is no longer the object of the French Govern ment, such overtures will be received favourably. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARII, FEB. 20. Five per Cents., 109 f. 65c. Hit. Four per Cents., 101 f.

Feb. 16. 1301,4 157 X 71% ST: The last published number of the Portfidio contains the opinions of a writer, whom the Editors of that work describe as " one of the most eminent jurists in Germany." On the legal question of the capture of the Vixen by Russia, those opinions are entirely opposed to those advanced by the Imperial Cabinet. The writer, on a careful examination and review of the main facts—having first proved by authentic documents that Circassia neither did nor could belong to the CZAR—has arrived at the conclusion, that under no possible circumstances could the Vixen have been seized and confiscated by Rus- • : .4. a : _ d rio ak Tat " , " Zibt ITU+ roREIG sin for trading with the Circassians without the commission of such an outrage as would justify Great Britain in declaring war against the EMPEROII. Presuming this view of the question to be approved of by Parliament, we beg to direct particular attention to the following extract from an article in the same Number, entitled, " Further Observa tions an the Pretensions of Russia :" " At such :4 moment it may not be uninteresting to con sider what are the present disposable forces of Russia. " Until the middle of April, her fleet at Cronstadt will re main ice-botted, at the mercy of a few Congreve rockets, which would change the aspect of the Baltic, re-establishing, the freedom of commerce with Poland, and securing the in dependence and national dignity of Sweden, Denmark, and Prussia, from the continual insults offered by Russia to all and each of those porters. '6 to the Euxine, several of the Russian ports will be still closed for another month. _ " Russia dare not yet enter the Bosphorus. A single English line-of-battle ship at the mouth of that channel would, in conjunction with the forts, secure the Sultan's ca pital against attack, and ensure the safe arrival of a British squadron at Constantinople, if his Highness should desire it. A small force at Alexandria guarantees the allegiance of Me.- hemet Ali to his sovereign. " The immediate frustration for ever of Russia's avowed designs would necessarily produce an entire financial and ad ministrative change from the Vistula to the Pacific. The abandonment of Russia's military system, like the overthrow of the Strelitz, or the Janissaries, would necessarily be fol lowed by civil reforms, or by the restitution of those muni cipal rights which almost every Russian town looks forward to with hope, and which the most ancient of them for ages enjoyed as a fundamental principle of Sclavonic institutions. " It is impossible to calculate the advantages which will accrue to England, by seizing the favourable incident offered to her by the affair of the Vixen, to maintain the maritime and commercial rights of all mankind, whilst vindicating her own. By depriving Russia of those means of aggression, which no one in his senses can imagine were ever destined for anv other end than to be ultimately employed against our selves, we secure the peace of the world for generations yet to come. We secure to Russia herself a futurity of peace, an emancipation from the anti-social system which represses the energy of her docile and intellectual population. Her magnificent rivers, her fertile soil, her immense resources, would form a field for European and for Russian enterprise, incalculably vast. " Let us for an instant imagine 'the Russian empire libe rated from the intolerable thraldom by which her population is oppressed, and compare what might be her commerce under an enlightened administration, and under equal laws with that which the United States enjoy. At present, her Tariff imposes a duty of ten per cent. on the exportation of raw produce, in addition to the duty fixed previous to the year 1818, and the object of this duty is stated to be the improvement of internal navigation.' If we turn to the United States, we find that, with a population of thirteen millions, that country annually imports to the value of nearly four times the •amount, is our annual customer for less than a million and a half, and yet more than one quarter of the volume of the European rivers flows through Russian territory into the Black Sea alone. " The intense anxiety with which the public mind awaits the expression of Parliamentary opinion, on the late atrocious outrage, is universal. " Indications, such as have never yet been manifested by the different parties in the State, give reason to believe that the Imperial Cabinet has for once miscalculated the character of a British House of Commons, and that, fully alive to the importance of the subject, they will support the Government to any extent in vindication of the dignity of the Crown, our national interests, and the honour of our flag." CHANCERY COURT.---(THIS DAY.) VIVIAN V. lIUMPHRIRS. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment this morning in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls, directing a new trial. The case was argued soroo few days since, and the question (which related to land ill Cornwall) was, whether there had been such a dealing with the property demised as amounted to a forfeiture, and gave the lord a right to re-enter and make a new grant. His . Lordship agreed with the Master of the Rolls in thinking that Oie Learned Judge, in his summing up, had not put the case stf ficiently clear tothe jury, and, therefore, there ought to be,lt new trial.

It was generally stated yesterday that a meeting was to be held by the Liverpool Merchants, with the intention to make an application to Government for advances of money on the security of produce now housed in the Government warehouses. Since then, it is said that accounts have been received from Li verpool, stating that the intention of applying to Government for assistance has been abandoned for the present, owing to the favourable accounts received from the United States, and particularly the rise in the price of cotton on Monday last. This fortunate event bad reinstated confidence, and hopes were entertained that the difficulties would soon disappear. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday were firm, but no marked improvement took place in them. The various funds had dull appearance in the course of yesterday, and closed heavy.. This might be in consequence of the settling of the Account in Consols to-morrow. Consols, which closed at 90-, and for the April Account at 904, opened this morning at 90 for Account and time.
