' .eY '" Y *- Z! 1 ); IUL LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1837. In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord BROUGHAM Presented 70 petitions, with 30,000 signatures attached to them, from different parts of the country, in favour of the Principle of the Government measure for the abolition of Church-rates. After some conversation relative to Turnpike Trusts, in 'Which Lord WHARNCLIFFE designated the measure that Palsed last Session a fraud upon every creditor of Turnpike Tivusts in the country, the Turnpike Trusts Continuation 13i11 was read a second time, on the motion of Lord DUN CANNON. .11e Bishop of LONDON said that a Morning Paper, which b_pa stated that a Clergyman at Islington had signed a petithA with the words " Jim Crow." was betrayed into a acandalcus• misrepresentation. The paper in question has Since stated that the signature was that of an apprentice, who had dope it for a joke. In Committee on the Dublin Police Bill the second c lause was rejected, by 28 over 17 ; upon which Lord I)uNcANNoN said that, after the decision which the Corn 2uittee had come to, he felt it necessary to move that the -House should adjourn, which he did accordingly. In the House of Commons, after some proceedings, prin. of a private description, Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that in consequence of the vote that had been come to on Tuesday night, relative to the Church-rates, he would call t he attention of the House to the present state of the nation. Lord J. RUSSELL then gave notice that on Thursday T 'lxt he would move for a Select Committee, to inquire into e mod e i n w hi c h l eases o f cathedral property and that of "ae Bishops were at present granted, with a view of ascer .Piaing wh e th er some b e tt e r mode might not be adopted. 2 answer to the question which had been put to his Right lan. Friend (Mr. Rice) yesterday evening, he had to say tzlat his Right Hon. Friend would not introduce any mea 14re on the subj ec t o f Church-rates, until the Committee lould have had an opportunity of taking evidence on the luk\iett. s ,:nne conversation succeeded respecting the recent trans psi on to Glasgow of the election writ for that city. Sir t • G. ItArc k m made it a matter of great importance and heavy "st Ire, that the writ was sent (as he said) by express , in 4of by post, as the Act directs. The Clerk of the pro 1 1 , n, ultimately, was ordered to attend on Tuesday , and L Ice at the bar the receipt for the writ at the Post-office. otx the motion of Mr. Hoy copies of certain papers , re iing. to the presents lately sent to this country by the King ODE, were ordered. 1 . 411 e House then went into Committee on the Irish Poor 4,5 Bill. The consideration of th e clauses, u p to the B . ttt 11 ?:, alm os t exc l us i ve ly occupied the remainder of the I ,, f rr he Prison's (Scotland) Bill was read a sec o n d time, and Ted to a Select Committee. The House was " counted , Pt at a quarter past Twelve, and stands adjourned til' - e are pleased to find that Ministers do no t mean : to let the Church-rate question rest in its present Position, Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimated in the i ., ll ause of Commons last night that he should, on •thurgday next, move for a Select Committee to in tlthuire into the mode in which Church property under :l eaa " ,agement of Bishops and Cathedral Chapte rs is t a b oi e `" The Noble Lord also stated that the Bill for i re — v isili ng Church-rates will not be brought i n, until , 1 . 1 Co mmittee has made a report on the evidenc e that a Y have been given before it. It would, we think, ; b better to have proceeded at once with the but there are some great advantages attending hec ourse prop ose d by the Government. One of the m gain arguments used by the factious opponents of the inisteri a l ~nisterial measure , was th e i n adequacy of the funds relied on as a su b st i tute f or Ch urc h- rates . Our readers Ca nnot I ha ve f orgotten, t h at on t h e fi rst i n t ro duction of the res o l ut i on b y the CHANCELLOR o f t h e EXCHE tjER) Sir ROBERT PEEL, in a speech such as, ib Point of ability (the Tories said), was neve' :., :irated e mre deli vere d w i t hi n t h e wa ll s o f P ar li amen t, demon to the entire satisfaction of himself and his ,Party, that a ll th e ca l cu l at i ons on w hi c h the plan was . botto med were erroneous—little better, in short, than l a° milline—and therefore contended that the effects of , r e measure would be an arbitrary and useless inter tii with the rights of the Clergy, and a degrada ° I n , of th e sacre d or d er o f Bi s h ops from Lords of the ;", letting lands and receiving rents, into petty ennui of ilt s receivi ng a year l y p i t t ance f r om a Board tak Co mmissioners.

This is information of the most valuable description, s uch, as had there been time, it would • hate been desirable t o h ave had before the subject wa brought under the consideration of Parliament. may here offer our sincere c ongratulations to e laleurs the lessees, on the brilliant prospect which the appointment of this Committee—arising as it does out of their skilful manoauvring—holds out to them. We are sure they are in extacies at the anticipated result. In referring to the decision on Thursday evening, on the motion respecting the French Claims, we must, in justice, state, that the arguments of the CHAN CELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER do not by any means convince us that enquiry ought to be denied. On the contrary, we consider the mode in which the distribution of the French Indemnity Fund has been conducted to be a case which particularly calls for investigation by a Select Committee of the House of Commons, and that Members ought not to be led away with the fallacious notion pressed upon their notice that such investiga tion would re-open the case of the Baron DE BODE. It is truly lamentable to observe the inattention of many Members, and the indifference shown by others, to questions of great grievance of this nature, and to think of the clamour they make about some canting clause to prevent Sunday travelling, or some other trifling matter, which had better be left alone. Refusals of enquiry into real abuses similar to those which have taken place in regard to the British Claims on France, is only an'encouragement to a Treasury Board of any Government, and to a set of Commis sioners, who must always be the mere tools of that Board, to commit any act of injustice and oppression, however great, with impunity. It was generally expected that the marriage of the Duke of ORLEANS would call forth and rally round the monarchy of July the loyal sympathies of the French nation. The' heir apparent has all the per sonal requisites for winning the admiration of a gallant and highly cultivated people ; and it is but justice to add, that he has hitherto neglected no means which his exalted rank has placed within his reach to cherish the good opinion which all parties entertained of him. He prudently abstained from mixing himself up with political movements of any kind ; formed no exclusive associations ; appeared not to have imbibed any strong prejudices ; and seemed, even when importuned, unwil ling to employ the influence he was supposed to have over the Royal mind, save in instances where the object was to obtain pardon for individuals obnoxious to the Royal displeasure. Moreover, besides the admiration and esteem thus claimed by the DUKE on his personal account, as well as on account of the relationship in which he stands to the French nation, it was expected by many, and by ourselves among the rest, that the KING would have seized upon the occasion of his son's marriage to convince the people of France, by some proof not to be questioned, of his entire devotion to the promotion of their social welfare, and of his fixed determination to find in _ the reflec- . _ tion of their happiness the true interests of his family. We imagined the proud—the noble triumph of the KING, on taking, as it were by storm, the hearts of his people—on witnessing the enthusias tic devotion to his dynasty, inspired by a realization of the national hopes—and above all, on convicting the Ultra-Republicans of error, in propagating the belief that the patriots of July had shed their blood only to effect a change of despots. But we, it seems, and all who shared our anticipa- -- • lions, laboured under a delusion. The Royal nuptials promise to be no more than a re-representation of a familiar scene in the courtly annals of France. It is not patriotism, or wealth, or integrity, that must supply a passport to the presence, and procure an invitation to the table of the Duke of ORLEANS and his illus trious consort, on the occasion of their Highnesses' marriage. Blood—gentle blood—alone constitutes the true talisman of admission. Incredible as it may ap pear, such is the will of Louis PHILIPPE—such the pleasure of every member of the House of ORLEANS. Even the new nobility are despised or overlooked ; and if we may credit the statements contained in the French Journals, the wives of three Cabinet Ministers, and the mother of one of them, have all quitted Paris, to escape the mortification of being excluded from the nuptial festivities, on account of their plebeian origin. It is stated, moreover, that the Duke, reviving the courtly euetoms of the Regency, has caused his cypher to be engraved on a button, which is to be worn by young men of noble fami lies, to whom his Highness will present it, as a mark at once of his regard, and a proof of the nobility of their descent. Now, we hesitate not to pronounce all these things as Very foolish—very absurd—very dangerous. The antiquity of the House of ORLEANS is sufficiently established—its branches can afford to dispense with the prim scrutiny of upstarts—and its head stands in no need of imitating the littlenesses of the petty Courts of Germany, in which ceremony is invoked to gratify pride, supply the want of power, and screen from popular view the presence of poverty. If the KING'S motive be to do honour to the future Queen of FRANCE, he pays but a poor compliment to her understanding or her heart, in presuming that she will be happy to find excluded from her presence all to whose valour she is indebted for the Crown which she is destined to wear. If, on the other hand, his MAJESTY be resolved to attempt the gradual oblitera tion of the popular opinion with respect to Kings and Nobles, he will soon repent having provoked the hos tility of the most potent of all aristocracies—the aristo ' cracy of wealth. The fact is—though we begin to fear the KING knows 'it not—that France at the heart's-corn is thoroughly republican. We include the nation in a majority of nine-tenths of the entire population—for so many are there who would fight to their knees in blood rather than submit to such a despotism as that which existed in France before the Revolution. Now, by these persons the antiquated, ridiculous, and insult ing ceremonies of the Court of Louis XIV. are despised and detested. They look upon them in the light of fooleries unfit to employ the understanding of children ; or they regard them as the dishonest de vices of incipient tyranny. The race of the old French Noblesse is not extinct; but, politically speak ing, it is powerless, and its exclusive spirit—were there no other obstacle—must for ever prevent it from recovering its former position in the social Government of France. It still exists a sort of bastard body in the State—repelling all attempts to blend and amalgamate it with the more wholesome elements of social order. It has lost its power, its influence, and its overgrown wealth ; but still retains all the prejudices and. vices engendered by the abuse of wealth and power. And yet to gain the affections of this clique of Exclusives the Court of France has, for the last six years, submitted to a series of insults which the most sycophantic, toad eating plebeian aspirant to aristocratic distinctions would have spurned with indignation. Before it would ho nour the KING by an appearance at his Levees, it re gulated the cut of all the coats to be worn within the Palace, and dictated to the Sovereign a ceremonial code, from the strict observance of which his MA JESTY dares not depart, on peril of having the QUEEN and Princesses left to seek the society of Milliners. Things ought not to have been suffered to come to this pass. The KING could have easily crushed the insolent pretensions of an useless Aristocracy ; and it was his duty, as well as his interest, to have done so, seeing the desolation they twice before brought on the Royal Family and people of France. Heaven forbid that the Princess HELENA should be confined within the magic circle which proved so fatal to the beautiful MARIA ANTOINETTE! To keep the populace in good humour, there is to be an extension of the Amnesty. This is well so far ; but it will not cure the wounds inflicted on the pride of the wealthier classes by an exclusion from the nuptial festivities. Such wounds are indeed the hardest to cure— and in some natures they are incura ble. More traitors have been made at the Levees of Kings, than by the operation of all the laws against treason, promulgated since the reign of TIBERIUS— the first framer of such defensive appendages to the Royal dignity. The whole of the French Papers of Thursday have been received. The Clzarte of Thursday night con tains the following important telegraphic dispatches :-- BAYONNE, MAY 24. On tLe 21st Don Carlos was at Castellinar, uncertain as to the movements. On the 20th a tolerably strovig corps, composed of National Guards and troops of the Line, moved from Srragossa to Huesca; on the same day Burens entered Tudela with four battalions and 600 horse. lribarren was on the 21st at Jaurte, covering Saragossa, in order to come up with the Carlist expedition in the plains be tween Exea, Jaurte, and Zueva. NARBONNE, MAY 24, AT NIGHT. On the 14th the Carlists were in possession of the villages in the neighbourhood of Valencia. The National Guards had refused to go out of the city. Sorrador was at Xenia, and Cabrera and Forcadell in the Xenia Mountains. On the Bth, General Orra was preparing to march on Can tavieja. On the 18th everything uas quit in Barcelona, and Tarra gona had submitted to the Queen. Baron de Meer was in the direction of Cala. General Pastors has been named second in command at Catalonia. The Queen Regent has signified her thanks to the British fur their conduct on the 4th. Ever since the 20th, with the approbation of the Governor, the same flag as at Reus is hoisted at Puycerda, viz., green, red, and yellow. Rayo was on the 21st at St. Florens Nos d'Erodes ; and two other chiefs have taken possession of Villanova de Mayu, a fortified town. The garrison, expecting to be relieved from Lerida, where there were two brigades, defended themselves in the church. METZ, MAT 2% SIX P:24. The Princesses (of Mecklenburgh) have just arrived hither. Their entry has been superb : Princess Helen has been de lighted with it. On the frontier the fete has been brilliant. BAYONNE, MAY 24, EIGHT, LISBON, MAY 13.—0 n the 11th MM. Passos and de Sa Bandiera sent in their resignations, which were accepted. M. Diaz Oliviera, President of the Cortes, is entrusted with the formation of a new Ministry. Lisbon is tranquil. As far as regards Spain these dispatches are highly favourable to the Constitutional cause. The move ments of General IRRIBARREN have been prompt, judicious, and well executed. He can now prevent the passage of the Ebro, and if well seconded, so harass the Carlists as to afford no opportunity for the development of their projects. The Pretender has addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants of Navarre, inviting them to join his standard. The debate on the Sugar Duties' Bill occupied the Chamber of Debuties again on Thursday. M. DUCHATEL opposed M. Gout N's amendments pro posing the impdsition of a duty upon sugar manu factured from beet root. The debate had not termi nated whet► the mails left Paris. The annexed advices from Africa are copied from the Journals of Thursday : NEWS FROM AFRICA. (Private Correspondence of the. Constitutionnel.) ORAN, MA r 15. After much parleying a final arrangement with Maki Kader seems to be at hand. On the Bth four En voys from the Emir arrived in this town, and were introduced to General Bugeaud, with whom they remained for two hours. After this conference two of them set out to return to Mus• care with M. Allegro, orderly officer of General Bugeaud; the two others waited here for his return. On the 14th in the afternoon, M. Allegro came back with letters from the Emir, who, it is said, proposes to send as hostages his uncle and two of his nephews, to whom he is much attached. But the General requires that the Emir shall come in person to Oran to ratify the treaty, and this is said to be the substance of the dispatches sent to Muscara by the two Envoys, who waited for the return of M. Allegro. This officer was well received by the Emir, and had a very agreeable journey. After his conference with General Bugeaud orders were given to the Castor steam-boat, Captain Leveque, to be ready to depart, which it does to-day, with dispatches of great import ance. The departure of the expedition has been put off, in consequence of the arrival of the Envoys from the Emir. The army goes to the camp at Tafna, where it will remain till the end of - the month, by which General Bugeaud expects to receive an answer to the despatches sent by the Castor. The expedition will afterwards go to Tlemecen. The cam paign may be prolonged to the end of next month. General Bugeaud set out for the army yesterday, at noon, escorted by detachments of infantry and cavalry. Our Correspondent at Toulon writes on the 21st May, that " as the armi , will be long absent, General Bugeatid has taken all fit precautions to put Oran out of danger, whatever may happen. The following order was published on the 12th:— By virtue of the powers conferred on Generals-in-Chief, Governors and Commanders of fortresses, by the Imperial Decree of 24th December, 1811,— " Seeing the urgency of the circumstances which will shortly withdraw from Oran the principal force of the army, expose the place and the harvest of the environs to the attacks of an enemy who is within three days' march, the Lieutenant- General decrees as follows : " The town of Oran is placed in a State of Wnr, the National Guard is put under the command of the military authority, which has likewise tho police of the place. It may, in case of need, require the inhabitants to execute works of immediate necessity, either in the place or in the avenues of it. " No change is made in the jurisdiction of the Civil Power.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 18th inst. have been received. Their contents are more favour able than we had ventured to anticipate. Order reigned in the capital, and the people seemed to rely with confidence o❑ the firmness and the resources of the Government. In the sitting of the Cortes, on the 16th, M. MENDIZABAL defended himself against the charge of having abused the vote of confidence about which the Opposition has clamoured so loudly. His speech elicited a general expression of satisfaction from the majority of the Deputies, who were almost all in attendance to witness the result. The question was not decided, when the President 'adjourned the sitting till the following day. A question of some importance to the public came before the Magistrates at Queen-square three days ago, and, after a short hearing, was postponed till this day. The Watermen's Company it appears have laid an in formation against a Steam-boat Company, which for some time has been running boats between Westmin ster-bridge and London-bridge every half hour ; and they call on the Magistrates to put a stop to the prac tice, on the ground that it interferes with the rights of the watermen, and if allowed to go will ultimately lead to the ruin of that body. These London monopo lising Companies certainly got strange clauses inserted in their charters ; but we doubt much if any privilege exists in this instance such as would warrent the inter ference of the Magistrates, and compel the public to pay two hundred per cent more to a waterman than to the proprietor of a Steam-boat—nay, even prevent the Steam-boat altogether from running between the bridges. If any such privilege exists it ought to be abolished by Act of Parliament. The Agent for the Company expressed his fears and sympathy for these ill-used watermen, while, in fact, the public are the only par ties who have aright to complain. If their trade is falling ofi; they ought to know the cause, and take the necessary steps for removing it. The insolence, the overcharges, and the rude language of these men, prevent respectable individuals, particularly ladies, from going by water ; and now that a remedy is found for the evil, and persons can be conveyed to the City, without the inconvenience and delay caused by crowded streets, an obsolete claim is to be put forward as a bar against it. The hackney-coachmen at one time, not more refined than the watermen, put forward similar claims against cabs and omnibusses; but the Legisla ture thought the benefit of the public of more weight, their monopoly was broken up, and both parties in consequence have been placed on a better footing. For what the public paid formerly 3s. they now pay only 6d., and these gentlemen have been greatly ci vilized by the change. We know of no class now who require so much this system of civilization as the watermen. PRINCESS VICTORIA, ENGLAND'S HOPE.—We have seen a medal, prepared by T. Emmett, 27, Holborn-hill, in honour of the commemoration of the anniversary of the birth-day and arrival at legal maturity of her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, which event was celebrated on Wednes day, May 24, 1837. On the obverse of the medal is a correct likeness of her Royal Highness, with her title, and date of her nativity; and on the reverse are three female figures, allego rically representing England, Scotland, and Ireland, offering their congratulations to her Royal Highness upon this great epoch of her life, and placing the emblems of their respective nations on the rock on which she is seated, resting on an chors, expressive of their confidence and hope. We esteem this present for youth a well-executed piece of workmanship, and highly creditable to the taste of the designer. ST.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls this morning delivered judgement n the following cases : LOWE V. LAND. The bill in this case was filed for the purpose of establishing the will of the testator in the cause, and carrying its trusts into effect. His Lordship stated, that he had since yesterday, when the case was argued, looked into the cases that were cited, and there was sufficient in them to persuade him, at least, that he was not acting in opposition to any recognised authority when he said, that according to the true construc tion of the will in question in this cause, the words " survivor or survivors" ought to be read as " other or others." There was en ultimate limitation in the will, clearly showing it was not the intention of the testator that the sum of 10,0001. should fall into the residue, except on failure of all the issue, and that intention could not be given effect to unless the words " survivor or survivors" were considered literally. A declaration was therefore made accordingly. lIODGSON V. lIODGSON. In this case his Lordship directed certain accounts to be taken before the Master. The subject-matter of the suit was devoid of public interest. MONTEITH V. NICHOLSON The question raised in this case was whether upon the true construction of the will of the testator, William Nicholson, his brothers and sisters took absolute interests in the legacies given to them on their attaining. the ages of twenty-one years, or whether they at that period took interests for life only in all or any of those legacies ? The words of the bequest in the first part of the will gave to the legatees absolute vested interests in 5001. stock, in the testator's share of his deceased father's furniture, and in his own residuary estate. The next clause in the will contained a limitation over in the event of the legatee's dying in the testator's life-time ; and the testator then declared that none of the legatees should be entitled to any bequest until they severally attained the ages of twenty one years. Taking all the several clauses together, his Lord ship thought the effect was to give an absolute vested interest to each legatee on attaining twenty-one years, and that the limitation over was to take effect only in the event of the death of the legates under twenty-one years of age in the life-time of the testator, or afterwards.—Declaration accordingly.

Andrew Boume and two others, had been convicted at the Monmouth Quarter-sessions, of a burglary, and sentence of transportation for seven years passed by the Chairman upon the prisoner Boume, and transportation for life upon the others. The prisoners had been subsequently removed to the Court of King's Bench on a writ of error; and were now brought up in custody of two officers of the gaol of Monmouth, for the purpose of having the decision of the Court taken. Mr. PEACOCK now appeared in support of the writ, and contended that the Magistrates having passed sentence of transportation instead of judgment of death, as required by the statute, the judgment was erroneous, and must be reversed. The Learned Gentleman, in a very able address, cited several authorities in support of his view of the case, and concluded by moving that the prisoners be discharged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the Crown, would at once admit that the judgment was erroneous, but contended that that Court had the power either to remit the record to the Court below for the purpose of having the judgment amended, or do pass the proper sentence upon the prisoners before it. After a lengthened argument, the COURT conferred for some time together, and Lord DENMAN said that the prisoners had been capitally convicted, and no judgment but that of capital punishment could be awarded. The record being removed before that Court, it was contended by the Learned Counsel on the one band that the judgment must be reversed, and the prisoners discharged, and on the part of the Crown, that the record should be remitted to the Court below, or that the Court itself should pass the proper sentence. It appeared to them that they had no power either to remit the record to the Quarter Sessions or pass the proper judgment itself, and, as it had been admitted,that the judgment found was erroneous, that judgment must be reversed. Mr. PEACOCK then moved that the prisoners be discharged. The COURT immediately directed them to be discharged. The astonishment and surprise of all the unfortunate men can scarcely be conceived, and it was some time before they could be convinced that they really were at liberty to depart.

EDINBURGH.—We understand that a bill of sus pension and interdict, at the instance of the trustees for the city creditors, was served on the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, prohibiting them paying away any sums of money for the repairs of Leith Harbour and Docks, from the funds of the Corporation.—Edinburgh Courant. Had either of the silly persons, who fought a duel by moonlight, fallen on the occasion, the coroner's jury would have been doubly justified in bringing in a verdict of lunacy. It is said that such is the demand of hay from London to Scotland, that the salesmen find it difficult to keep pace with it. During the week before last, not less than 30,000 stones of hay were purchased for Leith, Peterhead, Aberdeen, and Banff. . _ _ Yesterday morning, about half-past 7 o'clock, a fe male, respectably dressed, threw herself over Waterloo-bridge. Fortunately a waterman, of the name of Godfrey, was passing in a wherry at the time, and with difficulty succeeded in saving her life. She was conveyed to Bow-street police-station. Her name is not known. At the meeting of the Renfrew Town Council, it was carried by a majority that the usual bacchanalian revels at the public expense, in commemoration of the King's birth day, should be abolished, and that those of the Council who consider such things necessary should commemorate them at their own expense. This is the first innovation on the old corrupt eating and drinking system at Renfrew, and the pre sent reforming Town Council deserve much praise for their exertions.—Glasgow Evening Post. - Last week Mrs. Castle Husband, of Dover, was found dead in her bed, and at the coroner's inquest held on her body the evidence was of such a nature that the jury were unanimous in agreeing to a verdict of " Appoplexy, brought on by excessive drinking." The deceased was a native of Folkestone, and had formerly been a highly respectable woman, but had of late sadly indulged in the unfortunate habit alluded to in the verdict. We are informed on good authority, that such ge neral inconvenience was experienced from the assemblage of carriages in the streets during the illumination on Wednesday night, that the police will be compelled to take the necessary measures, to prevent such obstructions on Monday night, and on all similar occasions; and no carriages can be allowed to stand still, so as to obstruct the public thoroughfare. An inhabitant of one of the minor Inns of Court, having to settle lately with his laundress, found, among other things, that she had charged him Is. 6d. for " skewering the stars;" which, upon explanation, turned out to be " scouring the stairs," DUBLIN-THURSDAY. (YRONI A CORRESPONDENT.) " Nequo ego hortor, quod smpe majores vestri fecere, uti contra injuries armati eatis. Nihil vi, nihil secessione opus ; necesse est suoinet ipsi more pracipites cant."—SALLUST. I stated in a former communication, that notwithstanding the impediments to the improvement of this country, pro ceeding from the still remaining polity of ascendancy, and the tardiness of the Legislature in removing them, Ireland was at this moment more tranquil and happy than at any period for many centuries past ; and I promised to give in detail the more immediate causes of this state of things. This promise might, perhaps, be satisfactorily redeemed by this single sentence : there is an universal confidence that the present Ministry are endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of Ireland ; but it may be necessary to point to the more prominent grounds on which such confidence has been founded. Among them are—the conduct of the Executive for the last two years ; the formation of the Registry Association early in the year 1836 ; and of the General Association subsequently, emanating from that most laudable, liberal Institution. It is, beyond all doubt or controversy, established in the minds of every rational man acquainted with the occur rences of this country, that the question of " Repeal" has been abandoned or postponed, only in consideration of the liberal policy and pledges of Reform held forth by the present Government. This is become so notorious by the numerous publications of the daily and periodical press within the last twelve months, that it would be supelfluoUs to advert to tha, subject more particularly. Now, the re linquishment of a question on which the majority of the nation had fixed its heart, could not have taken place without a very great revolution in the minds of Alen. That revolution could not have been brought about so effectually as it has been without very .cogent reasons. The first reason for this change of public sentiment is, undoubtedly, the confidence and hope inspired by the appointment of Earl Mulgrave to the Viceroyalty, followed by his Excel ency's firm and explicit plan of government as developed in his replies to the numerous addresses presented to him from all parts of the country immediately after his arrival. Next came the Registry Association, the founders of which impressed upon the minds of a numerous and respectable portion of the community, that had not previously inter meddled in politics, the propriety of seconding the efforts of a well-disposed Government. The present Attorney- General (Mr. Woulfe) and Mr. Pigott were amongst the most efficient and influential in getting up this Association ; and the Orange press only mistook and misrepresented the occasion of the latter gentleman's energy and patriotism, when they accused him of being the principal founder of the General Association. It was the former Institution that first enrolled amongst its members several men of property and intellect, who thought, and still think, that the elective franchise was a legitimate ground on which to fight the battle of the Constitution. Much was gained for the cause of Reform by this Institution, which is still in existence. It must be admitted, however, that it did not engage the sympathy and confidence. of all classes of Re formers in this country, many of the more active agitators, who had triumphed over Peel and Wellington in former days, as well as those whose subscriptions did not entitle them to become members, keeping aloof, under the im pression that it was something of an aristocratic club. Matters were in this position, when the " Lords," early in the last, as in the present Session, declared themselves hos tile to Corporate Reform and a settlement of the Tithe question. The great body of the people throughout Ire , land were roused, and became indignant at this intelligence. Their first impulse was to petition and protest against the injustice threatened to them by the Upper House, and a Petition Committee was accordingly formed, and met at the Corn Exchange, in this city, for the purpose. This Committee, urged onwards by reclamations from all parts of the country against the refusal of the Lords to bestow on Ireland a full measure of Reform, were thus constrained to call themselves the " General Association of Ireland ;" and under this name they constructed a moral machinery for rendering their body the centralisation; as it were, of public opinion. How far it is likely to succeed in this object, may be collected from the sums of money which were immediately and voluntarily contributed to its funds, and from the numbers of Protestant nobility and gentry, in addition to the old materiel of the Catholic Association that joined them. Here, then, we have an organization of public opinion, firmly bent in obtaining for this country a participation in all the blessings of Reform. Has any thing occurred during the present Session to weaken or di minish the spirit of this organization ? The Tories say there is reaction in England. It may be so : but how do matters stand in this country, which must be for some time the object of greatest solicitude to Government and the Legislation ? The entire country from north to south is meditating a de monstration against the faction, by which legislation and general improvement are retarded. It is only the suspense created by the expected digression in Church -rates, and the aspect that things may wear after said discusssion, that has delayed several parts of Ireland this week past from fol lowing the example of the counties of Wexford and Dub lin. In the meantime the Orange party here are goading the people on to madness. They are proceeding in their Tithe campaigns with relentless and remorseless perseve rance. Nothing daunted by the ill success of all their efforts heretofore, to recover an impost which the people are determined never to pay voluntarily, they issue their executions " coute qui coute." To them the peace of the community, or the shedding of torrents of human blood, are as nothing when compared to the upholding of ascen dancy. If they had no other object in view than the re covery of legal and vested rights, they need only state the difficulties attending the recovery of tithe-money in Ireland, and petition the Legislature for redress. Their petitions joined to the efforts of the Ministiy, would soon set at rest the Tithe question and give peace to this country. But no : they had rather exhibit the symptoms of civil war, by marching troops from one county to another in the hopes of driving the people into distraction and rebellion. The proceedings which have lately taken place in the county of Wexford, where cattle worth 200/. were sold to a medical student for 171., and which cattle are still in gaol guarded by military and the posse cwnitatus, may give some idea of the state to which Ireland must be brought, if the healing measures of Government be much longer frustrated or delayed. IRELAND. DullLis, MAT 26. NATIONAL TRIBUTE.—ARCHBISHOP MuanAv.—The J Rev. Dr. Murray, in a letter dated the 24th inst., addressed to D. Lynch, Esq., one of the Trustees of the National Tribute, conveys to the fund his subscription, 10/. In re ference to the conduct of the faction that, seeking to per petuate the reign of injustice in Ireland, array in hostility against (her) civil rights all who will listen to the call of bigotry, Dr. Murray writes, " While this unwise iniquitous course is pursued, the most apathetic amongst us are re minded, to turn with gratitude to the max who has been its ablest and firmest opponent, the uncompromising advo cate of equal laws for every class of this great empire, and the efficient supporter of that paternal Government, which is straining every nerve to apply to the wounds of our suf fering country the only remedy that can effect their cure— the balm of impartial justice." Judging from the accounts contained in all the provincial papers, the collection pro mises to be completely successful. WATERFORD COUNTY MEETlNG.—Gervaise Bushe, Esq., High Sheriff of this county, in compliance with a re quisition, signed by Mr. Villiers Stuart, Lord Lieutenant of the county, the county Members, and a large proportion of the Gentry, has convened his Bailiwick, at Dungarvon, on the 2d of June, to petition for a full measure of Corpo rate Reform, and the abolition of Tithes. The IVateifurd Chronicle states that " the princi pal subscribers to the requisition calling on the Sheriff to convene a meeting of that county, to petition Par liament against Tithes, and for a full measure of Cor porate Reform, are Protestants—a fact," continues our contemporary, " we mentioned in our last to tell abroad the flagrant falsehoods of the factious and unprinci pled portion of the public press, which exhibit every thing allied to Reform as of destructive tendency to the Established Church, and the existence of Protestantism in Ireland. It is a truth impossible to controvert, that the active leaders of Liberalism—the soul and spirit of the cause in which the people are embarked, are those whose religious notions are opposed to theirs as darkness is to day —as error is to truth, and that those are they who sincerely conceive justice, policy, prudence, and everything dear to the human heart urge them to support the principles they advocate." A hostile meeting took place at Curnmin, on Wednesday morning ; the parties (one of whom is the Editor of the Sligo paper), fired three shots each ; on the second fire the aggressor received his antagonist's hall through the ti owsers below the knee, which carried away the skirt of his frock ; the third shot perforated the skirt of the gentleman's coat who was so treacherously assailed at the occurrence which caused the meeting. The Countess of Chaileville, who has been seric ius l y indisposed at the family seat, Charleville F,rest, in Ireland, is, we are happy to state, from the last ac counts received in town, slowly recovering. Madame Devrient has left Drury-Lane Theatre. There are many versions of the Ca' as , ; but we believe the right one is, that she expected to be . paid her salary (eighty p;itilds) for the evening.on which Pt ista gave a concert, which Mr. Bunn did not feel disposed to r to, as she did not sing. Taglioni receives one hundr pounds for every night she dances ;—who would not be a disciple of Terpsichore? We have been told that Madame Devrient asked a thousand guineas for attending the eusui•jg.

Sir,—l am more grieved than surprised at Mr. D'Ey court's letter in this Evening's Sun, wholly denying, and somewhat " offensively," if not " discreditably," the accarieg of the report in the Morning Advertiser, of that part of speech on Wednesday, at the Lambeth Victoria Dinner, r. garding. Sir F. Burdett having joined the regiment of Tend gades, &c. Without stopping to ask how Mr. D'Eyncourt could have meant only a " class," when he spoke of " the Hon.—if he might so call him—Baronet," I take the liberty, through the medium of your Journal, the question of hone_ t or dishonest reporting being in issue, to call upon Mr. D'Eyncourt to point out the words attributed to him that he did not utter, and making the corrections still more con clusive against me to narrate what he •really did utter on the occasion and subject. And I beg leave to say, with all due deference, but de liberately and advisedly—having consulted and been con firmed by a clear-headed, experienced, and expert short hand writer, Who also heard the speech—that until Mr. D'Eyncourt shall have done so, I abide by my report. I neither desire to misrepresent, nor do I seek for publi city ; but if you, Mr. Editor, deem it right and requisite, you have hereby my leave to attach my name to the end of this declaration of the substantial correctness of my report. -Yours, &C. May 26. THE ADVERTISER REPORTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A most exaggerated and inaccurate representation haying appeared in some of the Morning P a p ers , o f a fi r e which took place last night in the yard of the cooperage of these Docks, I beg to state that the fire originated from the heating of some old pieces of gunery, which had been shut in a corner of the yard amongst other rubbish, preparatory to its being removed out of the Docks ; that the damage done does not amount to 10/. ; and that the statement as to there having been tar, pitch, and cordage deposited in or near the place, is a fiction. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES CARTER, Superintendent. St. Katharine Dock, Saturday Morning. CHURCH-RATES. (From the Norwich Chronicle.) " ARCHDEACONRY OF SUDBURY. " On Monday se'ennight the Venerable Archdeacon Glover held his visitation at Ixworth, on which occasion he delivered a charge to the clergy of the district, of which the following is the substance:— " The Archdeacon began by saying, that if it were noon due course for him to address his Clergy this year, et the importance of passing events seemed to demand it at his hands. Indeed, so important did he deem the present situ— ation of the Church, that it would doubtless form an epoch: in her history. lie beg,ged his Rev. Brethren to take al dispassionate view of the great measures which were pro— posed, as he judged, with perfect good-will to the Church, and with an earnest desire to accommodate it to the al— tered condition of the country. One consolation was, that; it was only the temporalities of the Church which wero iu dispute : no question had been raised upon a single article o their faith. They ought not to deprecate change tnerelr. because it was change, for had not the Church in al ages been improved by subjection to this process ? Who greater change than from the Jewish to the Christian di pensation ?—effected too by the direct counsels of the .Vl., mighty himself ! Again, at the Reformation what a mighty change !—a change which was, as they must allcw, coming out of darkness into light. Though, as watchmen, r they were called upon to sound the trumpet of alarm, ma stand upon their watch when their Zion was threatened. yet they should remember that in quietness and confi— dence shall be your strength.' And judging from what had been done, he thought they might be assured that; whatever was proposed would be with the same usefu' tendency. He instanced the equalization of the shoprics, so as to prevent the necessity of commendarrke. and also to do away with translations. The Tithe Bill' was undoubtedly a great boon to the Church, if only• viewed in a pecuniary point of view, but more especially as removing a constant source of irritation between thee minister and the most influential part of his flock. H e . expressed an earnest hope that the clergy would manifest ta disposition to forward the voluntary commutation, both a., a means of saving themselves expense, and of showing thei r anxiety to promote peace and harmony in their parisb.es. This measure, he surely had a right to maintain. was enacted in the best spirit towards the Church ; for durinv: its discussion in Parliament not a single petition from. the. Clergy was presented against it ; even the Bishop of Exeter (who could not be suspected of looking with a favour able eye to any measure of the present GovernmeAti had declared it to be one likely to produce great pre,sent. good to the Church, and the only objection he could c•anjure up against it was some . undefinahle evil at a very rer.tote pe riod. With regard to the Bill for the abolition of Church rates, he could not help thinking it had not rece; cod an un prejudiced consideration : he did not wonder, when the, people were told by the parochial Ministers that it was a scheme to pull down their Churches, that they should eagerly petition against its becoming a law.. No did. he think it ought to be viewed merely as a boon to Dissen ters ; he looked upon it as a benefit to Churchmen to be relieved from this tax, which often fell very unjustly. He instanced the case of his own parish, where repairs were called for amounting to 3001. It might so happen that. tenants were on the point of quitting their farms, and they were thus called upon to contribute to what they would never enjoy ; or new tenants might be coming into the pa rish, Vvha were thus mulcted for the dilapidatior.s of perhaps many years. He thought no injury could be done to the proprietors of Church lands, as their present incomes would be insured to them ; and a great national benefit would be se cured by improved culture, and increased value conferred upon property, as in the very recent case of the Crown lands, from which the metropolis was enjoying so many improvements, and at the same time a source of revenue was opened to the State , without any injury to the possessor of the throne. lie dis approved of some of the details, as the dispensing with the , attendance of Churchwardens at visitations, which be con sidered a good means of keeping up a connection with the laity. He did not wish for an increase of powers, for he had never in a single instance been obliged to call into action those which he enjoyed at present. He had always had the greatest attention paid to his recommendations by the Churchwardens. He was aware he differed on these 3u1.- jects from the great majority of his reverend brethren ; but. he did not respect them the less for their manly exprision of their sentiments. A Church all warmth or all coldness was equally objectionable ; and he trusted he bad kept a middle path, and one which would hereafter be justified by is wisdom."
