Several petitions were presented from different parts of the country against any alteration in the corn-laws. Lord CAMOYS presented petitions from Oxfordshire in favour of an alteration in the corn-lAws. Lord KI'iAIRD moved, pursuant to notice, for a return of the amount of fees incurred by the introduction of railway Bills into this House during the last session of Parliament; and by petition against such Bills; and I:ów applied.—Agreed to. In answer to a. question from Lord MONTEAGLE, The Earl of ABERDEEN said he had no objection to the production of the report of Mr. Walker, relative to the alteration in the American tariff. Their Lordships then adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Tue names of lion. Slembers exempt from sitting on Election Committees were read. A new writ was moved for the borough of Ripon for a 'goober to serve in Parliament is the roo m o f t h e appointed Master of the Ri g ht Hon. T. B. C. Smith, Rolls in Ireland. Aft ,, r t h e transacti-n of private business, Mr. SYDNEY in answer to a question, nstated that. the Gover nment 11:pel to be enabl e d to raisethe by a method less onerous than the ballot. iSir R. PEEL in answer to a question from Mr. P. M STEWART said that, with regard to the duties on colonial spirits wad molasses, it was not the intention of the Go alteration in those duties. ve runatlnt to propose any On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the DraLnage of Lands (Inland) Bill, being read, Mr. F. FRENCH complained that the Bill gave powers to - the commissioners for Draingge with which it would ba highly improper to trust them. Ire ohjectcd to giving to any body of men the entire superintendence of all public and private works of experiment in Ireland. The landowners were perfectly competent to decide in what manner employment wad to be given to the poor of Ire land on their respectiie estates. Sir T. VasuitAti believed that the general impres sion throughout ITr"tand. was that the members of the Board of Workstedzornaed their duties exceedingly well, and were de almost ofro confidence. He considered that it would be t possible to carry out these works properly except under the superintenden'e of the Commis6ioner. Sir H. Funcusort c that, in cr , wiequ - nce of t die en,:rinon, - era given to die Drainage Coale:as tioners, a gnat nuchher of I , :ndowncrs had ben pre vented from taking advant3ge of tie provisions of the Drainage Act ; therefore he must object to any increase of those powers. He considered the B;11 as one of the most objectionable that had ever been introduced NV ith regard to Ireland. Mr. O'CoNNELL supported the second reading of the Bill ; but he hoped that in Committee various modtflea tions would be introduced into it. The Bid was then read a second time. On the motion for reading the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Public Works (Ireland) Bill, Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH objected to certain clauses of the Bill, as giving too much power to the officers of the Gov - eminent. _ _ _ Sir T. FREMANTLE explained that he had More given notice, that on bringing up the report he should propose a clause which would obviate all the objections of the Hon. Member. . Sir It. - FERGUSON 'WORM suggest the propriety of having out the fifth clause altogether. It was neceEsary to restrain the compulsory powers given to the authori ties under this Bill. Colonel CONOLLY would be sorry to retard the pass ing of the measure, but he objected to the compulsory presentments, as calculated to cast a stigma upon the grand juries of Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the motion. The report was then brought up, and several verbal amendments were agreed to. On the sth clause being proposed, Sir R. FERGUSON said that, if were persisted in, he should tak ; the sense of the HOUEO on it. Sir T. FREMANTLE must press the clause. !Ur. F. FRENCH hoped the clause would be withdrawn The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted the House wculd support the Bill, as a means of providing employment for the people of Ireland in improving existing public works, as well as in forming new works. Mr. S. CRAWFORD disapproved entirely of the system of compulsory assessments, but if it were to exist he considered that there existed t.ie same grounds for just tifying it in this case as in other cases. Mr. HAMILTON, under the circumstances of the case, hoped that the opposition to the clause would not be ersevered in. Sir R. FERGUSON was determined to take the sense of the House on the clause. On a division there appeared— Fur the clause Against it Majority for the clause —94 The report was then agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT moved the reappointmen 4 t of the com mittee on the ga.no-laws.—Agreed to. Sir T. FREMANTLE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to afford encouragement to the construction of small tiers and harbours calculated to extend the fisheries in Ireland. Alter a few observations from Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH, Mr. Boss, Sir HENRY 'WINSTON BARRON, and Mr. GREGORY, all of whom expressed their approval of the measure proposed by the Government, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Sir JANES GRAHAM laid upon the table, certain re turns relating to local taxation. The Sea Fisheries (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. . 97 Dr. PUSEY, who has raised such a commotion in the Erglish Church, and given his name to a new Protes tant sect professing Roman Catholic doctrines, made his first exhibition on Sunday as a preacher, since his sus pension in 1843, before the University of Oxford. Many of the young clergymen whom he had led astray during the period intervening between his suspension and the present time have acted an honest part, carried out their convictions like upright men, and openly enlisted them selves under the banners of Rome. They are still going over to the Catholic Church in considerable numbers, and if any doubt could exist as to the tenets, and doc trines, and conversion of PUSEY himself, the secession of his disciples puts it entirely at an end. But strange to say, the original offender, the cause of all this lament able backsliding from the Protestant faith, the enemy of the Established Church and the Refermation, not only still remains in the University to pollute the sources of mental instruction, but is allowed to display in all their naked deformity some of the most obnoxious and mischievous pretensions of the Church of Rome in her worst days. In his sermon on Sunday, so far from manifesting repentance or any contrition for acts which the University in its mildness only considered deserving of suspension, he boldly appealed again to the authority of the Fathers of the Church, and seemed anxious to place their authority above that of the sacred Scriptures. St. PAUL, and St. JAMES, and St. JOHN are only second or third- rate personages—the great favourites, the guides of truth, and the pillars of the Church, are St. TATIAN, St. CYRIL, St. IGNATIUS, St. CIIRYSOSTOM, St. Au- GUSTINE, and perhaps, also, another St. Icesautis, sur named LOYOLA. These are the men to whom this Canon of Christchurch looks up to as ex amples, and holds forth as models and instructors to the clergy of a Protestant church. It is curious too, on referring to his sermon (ef which we have merely given an outline), to find that the main doctrines en which it comments are of the most dangerous tendency in regard to morality, and are calcu lated solely for the advancement and establishment of clerical power. The Church in the dark ages strove above all things to put the laity under its feet. I; claimed power from on high ; it represented the POPE and Cardinals, and archbishops, and bishops throughout the rest of Europe, as the legitimate suc cessors of the Apostles, and assert( d for them all those miraculous and undefined powers which were con ferred on his immediate followers by the Founder of the Christian religion. The right of giving or with holding absolution is one of the most powerful handles to accomplish despotism ever invented. It makes the rich give up their treasures, and renders the poor slaves; it makes the crown yield to the mitre, tf rrifics the timid, and subdues the haul„hts and powerful ; it makes all except one class dependents and serfs, and raises that class to the regions of divinity. This, as might have been expected, therefore, is a favourite topic with the Puseyites, and on Sunday their pastor carried out its principles to their full extent. This is a hat he calls the doctrine of the keys—a doctrine by which the i:escendant of the Apostles has the power not to loose only but to bind; not to remit only, but to retain sin; and he thus traces this power to its source and maintains the right of the Church to it in the present day :—" Now, the commission upon which the authority of the Church rester, as it had ever been understood by the Church itself, was given in part in different words, at three different times ; before the resurrection first, to St. PETER as the type of unity, then to all the Apostles (both these being in promise), and then to all, in fulfil ment, in the text. The greatness of the power thus entrusted to man might well exceed our belief, and make us tremble to execute it, and almost doubt, as men had doubted, whether we had it. But our LORD premised his commission with these few brief words, conveying at once its extent, and the rule and guidance of it :—' As my Father bath sent me even so send I you. And when He had said this, Ire breathed on them, and saith, Receive ye the Holy Ghost ;' to show that he who created man in His own image, 4 breathing into his nostrils the breath of life,' was now about to recreate him in a more perfect and divine way by union with himself. And then he said, ' Whosesoever sins ye re mit, they are remitted unto them ; and whoscsoever sins ye retain, they are retained.' Understanding the words in their plain meaning, of a power lodged in the Church to forgive sins in His name, the ve ry word; ex pressed the fulness of the pardon ; the same word was used by which He himself forgave." And then he ex presses his great regret that the Church has not re tained this power to its full extent, and seems to rejoice that the Protestant Church has in so many instances departed from the principles of its great prototype, solely because the inevitable evils thus caused Mill more speedily bring her back to the right faith. "We might even be thankful," he adds, " that the yet remaining rules, requiring all her mem bers to partake of her ordinances, had passed into disuse ; to encourage indiscriminately the approach to the holy communion, without a corresponding inward system, whereby they who were entitled so to do should know intimately the hearts of those ea n fan c Gr o at u ooD r pf a :s g toh e rmao d nsa , ean b tiw a ifo, d h,nlo, : w r itni o ha u edi g ercis h iyo, t itd u roo s tra t i elo. known, a n . a amount 0 0 1 l u nl would w q o m r t h lan o kk i ee .m t carelessness e tn y wy s aa o s ho e oiin portion an?df His church, that He had at the same time by dence allowed almost all remains of that outw y ard tsll compul sory system to be broken down, and by His spirit within had aroused people's consciences to desire the full conditions laid up for the church." The4eare sufficient specimens of Dr. PUSEY 'S fixed sentiments, and it is needless to add one word of condemnation. The only question is, will the University still retain as one of its canons an o l to be de stroyed by enemi es a v o wed professor o f the most dangerous Roman Catholic iv). d o ctrines, and suff.:r 't t h h i e n its own bosom? so Churchmta the monopolist farming Tarnworth — thst is to sa y in terest of Tanivvorth—is resolved, apparently, not to allow Sir RODERT an opportunity of acting, in terial cepacity, with that independence which he him self claimed as the noblest prerogat:ve of a stets smart. Whet cannel be accomplished on a gigantic scale—a scele of demonstration prepertioned to the vastness of the proposed policy—they are now endeavouring to achieve through the must petty and preeumptuus interference. No unnecessary time is fritters d away by these gentle men in a calm, and honest, and dispassionate examina tion of the Premier's arguments; their opinions, for sooth! and their cash accounts, forsooth! and their market plans, forsooth! are not to be disarranged, and thwarted, and broken in upon, for the sake merely of that trumpery thing called commercial justice. A turn spit had been amply sufficient for the exigencies of their forefathers, and, notwithstanding the shortness of its wind, having so far competed with the short ness of its legs, as to interrupt the regularity of its movements, the old animal was satisfactory to themselves. True enough, the number of mouths which it was necessary to supply with provisions had become absolutely doubled, end' consequently more facilities in obtaining sustenance had become requisie :—Up with the ternspit of protection and -down with the bottle jack of free trade ! This is precisely the be haviour of those dogged sticklers for the exist ing corn-laws, who are now attempting to do minate the country fur a party purpose ; they resolutely shut their eyes against the day-dawn of ex perience, they forcibly close their ears to the trumpet voice of reason, and are for blundering on in their old, blind way. And, although the only feasible assistance e.hich could be afforded to a cause se untenable as that of protection would be something specious in the rhe toric of its advocates, their orations are mainly com posed of personal recriminations and utterly useless re solutions. Neverthele se, what they lack in ability they realise in determination and assiduity. Their philosophy is peripatetic and practical as far as language is con cerned ; but we rather conjecture they will find them selves in the predicament of the gentleman mentioned in the nursery puzzle—who " walked and talked, and half an-hour after his head was cut off !" We have already observed that these agriculturists perceive the impossibility of retarding a reform in commerce by any generalised effort on their part, and hence they resort to the final and Quixotic attempt of trivial measures— they determine, if possible, to destroy the present Ministry by turning the Premier out of his borough; to oust the First Lord of the Treasury from office by depriving him of his seat as a private Member of Parlia ment. This is indeed a dashing manceuvre on the part of the Warwickshire and Staffordshire agriculturists; and, inasmuch as it was developed in the meeting held in the Town-hall of Tam worth on Saturday, that meeting has a glimmer of importance. A fortnight since at a similar assemblage the fusee was ignited—it has now burnt down to the end and the bomb has exploded. The lan guage of the explosion is, " that Sir ROBERT PEEL do render back to the electors of Tamworth the trust com mitted to him." That language is to be conveyed as a requisition to the Prime Minister, backed with the sig natures of many among his constituents : and this is an epitome of the recent disturbance at Tamworth. Mr. HENRY Jolter PIE, whose enthusiasm for a continuance of the present system we had os•casion to mention some few days since, presided on Saturday as chairman; and assuredly his style of discussion is immense for its audacity, however Lilliputian it may he for its correct ness. When, for instance, he declared that " the Mi nister had, by his own admission, been stumbling on in et ror for the last thirty years," he was either actuated by an erroneous impression, or was testing the credulity of his auditors ; for, as we have formerly insisted, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S political career has been a career of progression—and a progres sion most palpably graduated ; his conversion to the great principle of unrestricted commerce has been cautious, slow, and clearly traceable ; and hence the assumption of Mr. Pan holds for ebselutely nothing. Neither do we perceive the force of his reasoning, when he maintains that the proposed reformation in trade should have been advanced by the League' orators, and least of all by the present Minister. Without reference to any other consideration, it was the most advisable, the most manly, and the most conciliating plan that Sir ROBERT PEEL himself should advance the doctrines of free trade in the House of Commune, and propose their general adoption. As to Mr. PIE'S corollary to this observation—" ralmani qui meruit feral'—such will he actually and inevitably the case according to the present arrangement. Mr. COBDEN and his colleagues will receive their just guerdon of applause, as among the originators and faithful upholders of the t prodigious agitation which is now reaching its u/tintetum of success. Lord Jotter RUSSELL will obtain the pro found approbation of his countr) men for being the first statesman who stood forward upon this great question and acknowledged himself to have been in error ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL will have the praise of posterity for an act of Ministerial greatness and political magnanimity which is without one single parallel in the records of a constitutional monarchy. The people will find that they have acted as an enlightened nation should, under cir cumstances of a like nature, namely, peaceably but with determination ; while the SOVEREIGN will feel an ineffable satisfaction in the happiness diffused among her subjeets, as well as in the glorious end bloodless victory which will illustrate her reign. Animated with these considerations, the Premier can treat the squab bles of his constituency with a placid and dignified self possession, seeing in them only. the appeals of Mammon and Monopoly. Madrid journals of the 2 sth and 25th ult. have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 24th, Senor SALAMANCA made a long speech in his defence against certain allusions of the Minister of the Interior, which he considered were directed against himself. He denied that he had made his fortune during the civil war, for he had acquired the greater part of it in Eng land, by his industry and integrity. Ile had likewise had dealings with the Spanish Government, which had been equal!y advantageous to the Treasury and to himself, and he had powerfully contributed to raise the national credit. At the same time he utterly disapproved of the present financial system, and especially the connexion of the Government with the Bank of San Fernando. Senor Must defended his financial policy, but we find nothing new in his speech. The marriage of the QUEEN with Count TRA PANI isstill aprincipal topic of conversation. The majority of Members who signed the paper binding themselves to insist upon a more decided explanation from tha Mi nisters" remain firm in their resolution. General NaavaEz, on the other hand, is equally peremptory in refusing to give any rublic assurance, on the pretei.ce that the demand is unconstitutional, and would be opening the door to revolutionary exigencies ; whilst it is aid that two or three of his colleagues are anxious that some sa tisfaction should be given, so as to tranquillise the coun•ry. It was currently reported that there would be a partial change in the Cabinet in consequence ; .but up to the last nothing has transpired. The Espanol, in adverting to the Count TRAPANI, says :--" We want no more Neapolitans, no more ava ricious princes, no more members of a family wh ,se cold egotism forms such a contrast with the generosity and no of the national character, whose debility would make them easy instruments of influences foreign to the interests of our country." The papers of the 25th state that a Cabinet Council was held on the preceding day which lasted three hours, and that a " Ministerial crisis" was anticipated. A list of a new Ministry had appeared, in - which are the names of MM. ORLANDO, BENAVIDES, RONCALI, LARA and CASTRO-Y-OROZCO, with General NARVAEZ as President of the Council. On the 2 ttli the Three per Cents. closed at 321 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 234 at 60 days ; and the Coupors at 241 at 60 days. On Saturday, in the French Chamber of Deputies M. BERRYER proposed, in a speech of considerable length, his amendment on the sth and 6th paragraphs of the Address, relative to the line of policy France should adopt incase of a war between America and Eng land, and entered into a narrative of the differences that had arisen between England and the United States on the Oregon question. These had been adverted to in the Speech of Queen VICTORIA, and from that docu ment it appeared that the contention was not at an end. and that Great Brawn would make concessions only consistent with her interests and h-moor. An arbitration had been proposed, but the United States would evi dently refuse it. A quarrel was, therefore, imminent between those two great powers. What wou'd the policy of France be? M. GulzoT had given the Chamber to understand that it would be a neutrality, but the Address said nothing of it. France would be placed in a critical position, and it was of importance to fix the conduct to be pursued by her in a solemn way. In his opinion, th• Ministry had inclined in favour of a power which was not the real ally of France. Powerful interests and old recol lections seemed to connect France with the United States. It had been, perhaps, more pilitie to unite against a rival power that domineers over the world. Be this as it may, the Chamber ought to know to what extent France had been engaged, an d w h et h er the sacrifice of her dearest interest s had not been required. He next examined the conduct of France in the question of the annexation of Texas. He blamed the conduct of the Government throughout that affair, being convinced that it was not a French interest that had guided it. France had no reaaon to dread the aggrandisement of the United States, and no motive for opposing the annexation of "revas. All the arguments advanced by M. GuizoT had bt'tn groundless. What had been the motive for such a policy ? A desire t , ) please England. The dignity of Franc,: had been often compromised, and it behoved the Chamber henceforth to uphold and guard it. France had, without any interest of her own, been made to join England in her opposition to the American Government. The French Government bad not acted honourably to wards the United States in the matter. Ile then pro ceeded to criticise the French policy with respect to La Plata, Madagascar, and elsewhere, and maintained that in all concession to England was the dominant motive. Reverting to the declaration of neutrality made by M. Gutzor, he said, nothing could be more hostile to the United States than that announcement, or a greater deviation from the true policy of France M. Gutzar rose to reply, and was left speaking at the hour of post. The speech of M. BERRYER it was said did not make much impression on the Chambers, though his sentiments coincide with those of all the Opposition Members. Erglard can, however, see from it the line of policy that will guide the Right and Left in case of a war between England and the United States. Thediscussion on the University question, which had lasted for four days. was brought to a conclusion on Friday without a di vision. It was a long, tedious, and uninteresting affair, and has thus produced no result. The opinions of the Paris press on the new Tariff proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL possess considerable interest, and we therefore give numerous extracts from them. The Journal des Debate gives a sum mary of the plan with little comment. It states that the reduction of duties is perfectly spontaneous on the part of England, without any bargain or promise on the part of France. The ConstitutZonnel says : This plan, presented with great ability, is equally well concocted in all its detail'. But it shows that Sir R. Peel has yielded enormous concession to the manufacturing party, and that the compensation offered to the landed interest is little more than a nullity. The battle will be sharp, but can not be doubtful. Sir R - obert has the whole Oppwition r;ith him, and he will easily find amupg his own friends a hun dred votes to give him a majority. Since the Reform Bill, the Parliament of Great Britain has not had any question of such weight to resolve upon as that which is now submitted to it, and the changes proposed will, if they be adopted, have most assuredly immense consequences on the economy of the country." - - The Presse, after giving the heads of the preposition of Sir ROBERT PEEL as regards articles of food, add,:— " As regards manufactured articles, Sir R. Peel could cut away at full liberty fur two reasons. First, because England, thanks to the secular protection which she has enjoyed, and all the mechanical resources which she has appropriated to herself before all other nations, is without a rival in all the great manufacturing branc es. Next, because by the intelligent reform which she effected in 1842, the raw pro duce which she receives from tbreign countries has been relieved from all duties, whilst elsewhere, amongst us, fur instance, these matters are still charged with heavy duties, which necessarily- increase the price of the manufactured article. In proposing to the English manufacturers to give up a protection altogether superfluous, Sir R. Peel reminded them, by a quotation from Adam Smith, that they had been the first to invoke for their profit, the establishment of these monopolies against which they protest loudly, now that they have no longer need of them. This little quotation, which has the merit of being just, was much applauded by the agricultural party. Sir R. Peel therefore reduces the tariff on cotton, woollen, and linencloths. It may be taken as cer tain beforehand that the imports from abroad will scarcely increase fom his doing so. As to silks it is another matter, as the diminution ofduties may facilitate some ventures from France, although the duty is still tolerably high. The avowed object of these reductions, and some others, is to in duce other countries to do the same. In this respect it is probable that each nation will consult its own advantage, convenience, and position, before considering iteelf bound to a reciprocity which for most of them would be perfectly il lusory." The Epoque says:—" Such are the general features of the new financial plan of Sir R. Peel. He proposes it boldly, reckoning on the wisdom of his combinations and on the re sources of the country to fill_up in.the Treasury the chasm which so many deductions ought seemingly to cause there, to serve even to the augmentation of the imposts which the grand interes. of the national defence nece-sitates. It is wholly in consulting the wants of England, and without having previously negotiated with foleiga powers, that he accords these new facilities to the foreign trade; the example of England will besides, he hopes, find numerous imitators." The. Sic/e: gives an analysis of Sir ii. Peel's plan, but makes only one observation of any interest. It remarks that the Minister, although he has announced a reduction of the duty on silks, which may have a beneficial effect on the manufactures of this country, says nothing about French wines, and proposed a smaller reduction in the duty o❑ brandy than was offered by the Whigs in 1840. The Commerce says, "These; reforms are extensive and liberal, and they ought to produce important modifications in the foreign relations of England. It will be curious to observe what effect they will have upon the manufactures of this country. First of all, however, it is to be seen whether Sir Robert Peel's plan will not undergo sonic material altera tion before it receives the sanction of Parliament." The' Courrier Francais offers no observations on the plan of Sir Robert Peel, but promises to give its opinion on the subject. The Quotidienne says—" Whilst our doctrinaire Ministers are endeavouring to escape from crises by expedients of cor ruption, Sir Robert Peel is showing how a man of strong mind can exercise a mastery in social traasformations. The contrast is a striking one. In this country the system of artificial majorities leaves all questions undecided ;—in Eng land a policy of reason resolutely attacks and solves them." The following are the opinions of some 02 the papers on the late gallant affair in the River Plata : CONSTITUTIONNEL —" it is with a just pride, mingled with regret, that the public will read the various episodes of this affair, in which the bravery of our soldiers and sailors wer. again displayed, but the result of which has been purchased by such sensible losses. An unhappy chance ax po,ed the St. Martin to the cross-fire of the bat cries of the enemy and to one of the vessels of Rosas. T e consequence was, a loss much greater on our side than on that of our allies. Our seamen were not wanting in bravery and skill ; what was wanting was the prudence which is not incompatible with skill and bravery. Here is a combat which casts us 18 killed and 70 wounded. Will the consequences compensate for this painful sacrifice? This, unfortunately, is very doubtful. It will be said that by the destruction of till batteries the Parana is open t , commerce. This will be the case so long as the allied forces shall be present; but it is not evident that when they shall have removed, Rosas, who is master of the country, will again close the passage. It is against the power of this man, who is the enemy of civilisation, that we should direct our blows. It is himself whom we should con strain to respect the rights of European commerce, and the liberty of independent nations. As long as Rosas shall not be rendered powerles to annoy, the European question in the Plata will not have advanced a single step, and the generous blood that is shed will produce no fruit." NaTiosars—" Our seamen covered themselves with glory, and their intrepidity produced from those who witnessed their bravery the most honourable and spontaneous testimony. This is a new proof of what we may expect from our army and navy when well directed. We do not hesitate to declare that the English squadron also did its duty nobly, nor must we forget that the soldiers of Rosas made a valiant resistance. We do honour to ourselves in rendering justice to our rivals and enemies. May the fresh blood which has been shed on the tanks of the Plata efface some of the stains inflicted by the cowardly policy of our Government." tit COURRIER P RA NCAIS.-" Whatever may be the result of this affair, we canot help first of all making the remark that here, as at Madagascar, the loss mid damage have fallen more particularly on us, and that here, as at Madagascar, it is England that will profit by the combined interference. We are no lovers of a glory that must be shared with others. France reserves to herself the honour, and lets others reap the profit. Here, besides, as it will come to pass at Madagas car, this first victory will not prove anything. To bring under ;subjection the Gauchos, as the Hevas, it will be ne cessary to occupy and pursue after having conquered. To pursue the Gauchos in their immense and desert pampas is dangerous, and would be useless. It wilt be necessary, therefore, to occupy some points on the banks of the river, as we shall have to do ias the coasts of Madaga-car. What will be the result ? That England will be there before U 3, with or without us. We abstain from every other re flection." IBRAHIM PACHA was expected at Paris on Saturday. On that day the Funds were firm.

RESIGNATION OF LORD ASHLEY, M.P.—We have to announce that Lord Ashley has resigned his seat for Dorset shire. The Noble Lord, there is reason to believe, communi cated the fact to his leading supporters in the county on Saturday last. We hear, from a source which leaves no doubt of the truth of the statement, that the most illustrious personage in the kingdom takes a lively interest in the repeal of the corn laws; and hip, on snore than one occasion, warmly advocated the measure, against the opinions of certain Noble Lords, who are es strongly opposed to it.—Morning Paper. The Hon. Miss Isabella Plunket. third daughter of Lord Plunket, was married on Wednesday, at Old Connaught, Wicklow, to Henry Quin, Esq., of Wingfield. A respected correspondent, residing at Chelsea, men tions, that, in consequence of the City authorities closing Chandler's Pier on Milbank, Mr. Cubist is now erecting a splendid pier opposite his factory in Thames Bank. MIDDLE TEMPLE, JAN. 31.—A s,cond call to the bar in Hilary term of members of the Middle Temple having been made, the undermentioned gentlemen were this day sworn in and admitted —namely, Frederick A) rton, John Roberts ' Thomas Campbell Foster , H enr y John Plinth], Randall M`Donnell, John Henry Druery, Samuel Sidney Smith, Hugh George Robinson, William Campbell Sleigh', Edward Kemble,nd Henry David Erskine , Esqu ires. John Burgess Karslake, Francis Worsley, James Stephen, and en, Accounts from Cherbourg of the 27th state that the Ph country round that place presented the appearance of an immense lake. The lower part of the town is inundated to the depth in many parts of five feet, and all communication is interrupted. At Liege the inundation has made frightful Progress ; the waters of the Meuse had risen as high as tho centre of the town, and all circulation in the streets near the river had been s t oppe d. The communication between Liege and Namur h as b een cu t off, the diligence a hich left the former place on t h e 27 t h no t having been able to reach its destination. Namur was in the same de p lorable condition as Liege. On Monday night last, as two sailors of the English schoonar Eliz a b et h, moore d at the Qttai de Plsle. at Havre, were returning on b oar d their ship, they both tell into the w ter. A su b -officer of the C u -toms, named Paris , imme diate! plunged into the sea after them , a nd saved one of the men, but the ot h er was d rown ed, and his body has not yet been seen. Y MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 5,000 bales, all to the trade, and at about former prices. There was some hnprovement in Shares, and the market closed better. There are dates of Dec. 13 from the Cape of Good Hope. The colony, although prospering in respect to seasons, &c., was suffering from political excitement, and the emigration from Natal had not ceased. The new point of attraction now to the Dutch farmers was a place within eight days' march of Delagoa Bay. About three hundred men had arrived there ; . and the country, as is usual with new settlements, is described as being more fertile than the districts the adventurous farmers had just quitted. There had been a shocking murder committed by the Caffres on the frontiers of the colony, the Rev. Mr. Schultz, a newly arrived missionary, being the victim. The hard road had been formed at last across the Cape Downs. The schooner Charles, with 140 tons of guano had been wrecked on the Bird Islands, and although the crew were saved, they lost all their own effects as well as the ship. Nothing very different to what has previously come to hand is contained in the American advices. The English investments have not been quite sustained at the elevated point of Saturday, but this arises probably from the comparatively limited business that has been doing. Consols have realised 94%a for present transfer, and 95 to 1 / for time. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been also rather lower, viz., 235. to 28s. In Bank and India Stock we have heard of no bargains. South Sea StoJE is 105 to 106. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to %, and the Three per Cents. 95% to A. Money is rather tight still. For foreign stocks the demand has not been active, but still there is rather more doing than there was at the close of last week. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 to 1 4, and the Three per Cents. 38% to 1 / 2 . Portuguese Three per Cents. have been 59%. Mexican Stock is heavy at 30% for the Five per Cents., and at 16% for the Deferred. Buenos Ayres Bonds are worth 41 1 / 2 , Equador 3 1 /, and Peruvian 38.

A new drama, in three acts, from the pen of Mr. Hell, entitled Leolii:e, or Life's Trials, was produced at this theatre last evening. The story is so, n told. Leoline (Mrs. Yates) is the wife] of Charles Darville (Mr. Howe), a prosperous Parigian tradesman, a good tempered, easy man, but wantirg in firmness-4n short, "nobody's enemy but his own." He meets with an old schoolfellow, a certain &ail° 'Mongerand ( Mr. 0. Smith), a regular stage villain of the regular 0. Smith school, Mongerand endeavours to seduce Leoline, and, failing in his endeavours, works upon the' easy Darvilk induces him to become. a gambler, a drunkard, and a pro digal, and ruins Darville and his family.

Leoline has been left a competency by a relation, and is residing with her daughter in the e ivirons of Paris. Darville, who has passed his five years of exile as a sol didr, hes regained for himself name and fame, and re turns to regain his wife; Mongerand has escaped from the gallies, and in the lowest depth of distress has been relieved by Darville and rescued from starvation. He again tries to induce Darville to turn prodigal, but in vain, and in the night he breaks into the cottage, and endeavours to rob the hotte and murder Leoline. His attempt, however, is frustrated by Darville, and finally he is shot by a party of gens d'armes, who are in pursuit of him as an escaped convict Th-re is a comic underplot, supported by Wright. Mun yard, and Miss Woolgar, which ever and anon aff ceded a welcome relief to the more serious portions of the , Irama. When we say that the two . principsl characters were supported by Mrs. Yates• and Mr. 0. Smith, and that they were each admirably fitted, it is tanta mount to declaring that the drama was decidedly SUCCS3- ; but it stands wofully in need of curtailment. There is a vast deal too much of sermonising in it, and the sermonising consists of the most common-place sen timentality of melodrama. If all this were cut out, the piece would then act closer, and be greatly improved. Mr. Howe, as Charles Darville, acted with taste, pathos, and judgment. The piece was announced for repetia.on every evening, amidst the loud applause of a very crowded house. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA TTE RSA L L 'S. —1 EsTE n Dar.

Miss Burns and Mickey Free also receded, and Best Bower, coming rather strongly into play near the finish, left off first favourite. Colleen Dbas, scratched as such, but left in, as the filly, by Rust out of Annie,was in request, and a few small invest:l-lents were made on Billy Purvis, Hope, Mermaid, and Q wee of the Tyne.
