surplus to be appropriated. I protest against any question of detail being entered upon now.—(l - tear, bear, bear.) Imy self am ready- to argue it, but lat once declare thrt I will not do so on the present occasion, because I will not give the Right Hon. Baronet the advantage of joining issue with me on that part of the question, and then calling upon the House to divide with hire on the general principle.(Cheering.) We will contend with the Right Hon. Baronet in the committee as to the details, but ire will not, I repeat, be driven to give him the advantage of a debate on the details before we get into the committee.—(Cheers.) The more straightforward course noeld have been for the House to have been called on tys ind its former r eso l ut i on.— ( H ear, hear, h ear .) A n d; any lion. Gentleman thinks he can vote for the present resolution. without rescinding the former one, let him call-to his receotee tien the cheers with which the announcement wos received by the Hon. Gentlemen upon the opposite benehee, that it was intended to negative one part of thin Hill and to carry the other part.—( Cheering.) The Right Hon. Baronet his not in effect. notwithstanding the appearances to the contras's', grappled with the question of figures ; nor have I; tate-seise I say this is not the right place to go into thee-Leo( WA cheer- , ing.) They wish us to argue one proposition, and they ask us to divide on another.—( Renewed cheers.) lam prepared to argue, and will go into all the facts of the case, when we get into the committee, after having negatived this resolution, as trust the House will do.--- - (Cheers.) But I will not allow what was a Parliamentary minority on a former occasion, to convert itself into a majority now, by a little slight-of-hand and legerdemain dexterity, such as moving a resolution which is apparently one thing, though most unquestionably it means another.—(Great cheering.) I say I will not, under these circumstances, give to the Hon. Gentlemen opposite the advantage of a discussion on the details one single hour before the time arrives for entering upon such a discussion in due course, and according to Parliamentary usage.—[There was protracted cheering after the Right Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat- Mr. LE FR OY contended that the resolution agreed to by that House amounted to no more than this, that if there should be a surplus, that surplus would be applied to the moral edu cation of all classes of the people.—( Hear.) A charge had been brought against his Right Hon. Friend for want of can dour in his statement, respecting the parishes of Cullen and Glengoriff. That statement he considered could he main tained. It was intended that the Bill in its operation should be imperative ; and was he to be told that there was not an infringement of Church property, when that property was laid at the feet of Commissioners appointed by Government, by a Government that would go beyond, if that were possible, the present Government in its proceedings against the Church ? —( Hear.) Was there, he would ask, no danger to the Church when such discretionary powers were given, as those conferred by this Bill, to deal with Church property ? Property could mot be consistent with such powers in any Commissioners; be cause the holders 'of it could not be secure of it for one hour. The principal part of the Protestant population was in the diocese of Armagh and Dublin. In Armagh were the largest endowments of the Church, and yet the Noble Lord would not aid those parishes with funds; but he would make them liable to be cut down to an income for the clergyman of 300/. a-year.—( Hear.) What provision was there made for the Protestant population in Armagh and Dublin ? They were told that there were 500,000 members of the Established Church in those provinces. Let it be so ; but why should the Noble Lord take a provision from them and reduce it to 3001. a-year, though in some of those parishes the population amounted to 4,000? The Chancellor of the Exchequer had taken a list of parishes, in which there was a scanty number of members of the Establishment, and in which the amount of the tithe composition was comparatively considerable. He admitted that the members of the Establishment were very scanty, and the provision very large; but then, upon the other hand, he bad taken a list of parishes in which the population of the Established Church was immense, and which would show that the endowments were proportionably small ' • in fact in the same proportion in which the income excee d e d the population in the parishes stated 'by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. There were 103 livings, in which the population at the lowest exceeded 2,000, and in the highest was beyond 5,000. In 103 benefices of this description there were not less than 30 endow. meats having considerably less than 3001. a-year. In one of these parishes the population was 3,543, and the endowment, including tithe and glebe land, 2961. a year. In another the population was 3,422, and the total provision was 1661. a year. In a parish with a population of' 2,240, the provision for two curates' salary, with a rector, was 294/. In a parish with a population of 4,032, having two churches, three curates, and a resident rector, the endowment under this Bill would he 2591. In a parish with a population of 3,700, having two churches, a resident rector, and two curates, there was an en dowment only of 2351. For a population of 3,735, where the tithes were partly impropriate, the provision only was 791. For a population of 4,026, there was to be but an endowment of 1501. a year, with 51 acres of glebe. For a population of 2,184 there would be but an endowment of 1401., and no glebe whatever. For a population of 2 586, with a church, a rector, and a curate, the endowment was but 266/. For a population of 2,700, the provision was 170/. ; for a population of 2,246 there was but a provision of 165/.—(Cries of " Question, question.") He begged to state to Honourable Members that when the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who disclaimed entering into details, had yet come down to that House with details cut and dry for the question—when this was done upon the other side, he could not avoid entering also into details, in order that full justice might be done to the eause.e--( Hear.) He was quite prepared to lay all those details before them ; but he could state to the House this, that there were thirty of these parishes in which the members of the Established Church were from 2,000 to 4,000, and in not one of which was there a proviSion for the clergyman amounting to 3001. a year, after this Bill should come into effect. In one of them the provision was only 791. a year, and in none was it so high as 300/.—(Hear, hear.) There was, at present, a deficiency of 200 churches in Ire land. How much greater would be the numbers, when the larger unions were broken up—when 1,121 utlions would be broken up into 1,545 parishes. In these there were but 1,358 churches. There was, then, a deficiency of 207 churches ; 190 places of worship had been provided by clergy men. Some of these were in stables, others in Petty-session Courts, and some in the clergymen's houses. In fifty-two of those places, as we understood the Hon. Member, the popu lation of the Established Church exceeded 500. The ave rage accommodation of the churches of Ireland was for 350 persons, which would leave a deficiency of 150 churches, where the population exceeded 500. The calculation of his Right Hon. Friend (Sir Robert Peel) placed it beyond the possibility of a doubt that a surplus would be hoped for ; but when his Majesty's Ministers declared that they would give 100/. for a place of worship where there were but fifty mem hers of the Established Church, why should they refuse to build a church in a parish where there were 1,000 members of the Establishment. There were 52 parishes in which the members of the Established Church exceeded 500 ; there were 30 parishes in which they exceeded 1,000; 16 parishes in which they exceeded 2,000; and 11 parishes in which the po pulation exceeded 3,000. These parishes should be provided ith churches before the surplus was applied to other purposes. —( Hear.) What was the state of Ireland with respect to glebe houses ? They were told that there were above 200 parishes from which the incumbents were absent. He did not vindicate those who absented themselves from their duty. He agreed with them who thought that all such abuses ought to be cor rected. But then this Bill did not promote residency—it did not provide for glebe houses. The Commissioners remarked that it was of importance to promote residency, and yet that they were from want of funds unable to provide for this defi ciency. There were 381 parishes in which glebe houses were not to be kept up, and there were not less than 695 parishes in which there was not a single glebe house. Now as regarded the Established Church, he did not see any reason why his Majesty's Ministers should not be anxious to remedy those evils. The Hon. Gentleman then alluded to a letter which he had received from a clergyman, in which he observed that when he took his living, it was then worth 9001., and a glebe house had been erected which cost 1,8001. That living had been com pounded for at 525/. He asked upon what reason then a man in such a position could be called upon to repay his instal ment cf the loan ? Let it be recollected that there were 715 parishes in which there were Protestants, and where the duties were regularly performed. Here the whole amount of income was 72,4530.1. Now taking the average of these parishes in every one of which the duties were performed, in 161 of them there was either a glebe house, or a church, or both. The Noble Lord proposed in such cases to provide for the Esta blishment at 1001. a year; here he saved 2/. a year for the glebe bailee, and in the rest of these parishes he proposed to allow the establishment, when the Protestants increased in number, a certain sum (from 101. to 501.) when they gave them in charge to an adjoining rector. But the Noble Lord forgot that he would find it in some parts of Ireland extremely difficult to get in cumbents to take upon them such a charge, because in some parts the operation of the Bill would be to take away all the in cumbents in some of the dioceses. Then what was the Noble Lord's principle ? Why, that he gave up the Establishment. He would ask him whether he could do this with due regard to the bone* of the Establishment, and how was it possible that the duties of the clergy were. to be kept up in the way he proposed? How was he to dispose of the 715 parishes amongst the remaining incumbents, who would have their hands full? Would they not have sufficient to do, because the Noble Lord was not to separate parishes where there was no duty to per form ? Now, independent of the impolicy of removing so large a body of resident gentry, he would put it to the Noble Lord, be put it to the tender feelings expressed for the clergy, whether it was right openly to overload these incumbents with parishes of the extent they were in Ireland, and which were adjoining or contiguous only to the parishes of these incum bents ? If the 13ill went to force a man to perform this ad- Otitional duty, he might say that he had not undertaken to execute it, and thus an excuse would be furnished- to any idle or indiffeeent clergyman to neglect the discharge of an onerous . key, Th en , w i t h respect to the case of small pa rishes, ny the effect of withdrawing the clergymen from 715 parishes, it would seem that Protestantism was put out of existence. It was not like the case of England, because in Ireland they had a rival Church in all their parishes. The non-maintenance of the Protestant Church in Ireland, was, (Ic facto, the establishment of the Roman Catholic religion— that religion being that of the rival Church. Therefore, lie contended that the system embodied in this measure amounted to th© establishment of the Roman Catholic religion, and the destruction of Protestantism. An Hors. MEMBER next rose to address the House, whose name we were unable to discover, said,—With reference to the question of the union of parishes, he should concur with the Riabt lion. Gent. in the amendment which he suggested. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded to argue that whilst he highly approved of the general principle of the Bill, still there were some details which be thought might be opposed to his views. But was it not fitting that the Church Establishment should be made more commensurate with the wants of the people generally in Ireland ?—( Cheers.) After the two great medsurcs'of Roman Catholic Emancipation and the Irish Re-, form Bill had been passed, was it to he exp , ected n t I t ne th; pre sent ant Ewe of the Irish Church could long co upon the Irish thought that this measure was an improvement sere—what advantage had been pained Church measure. What had occurred ed ? by ‘N da t yi o l " Od th b is ecr e re n : suited from the delii , last Session, when the Duke of Welling ton threw it out? Why, as a re med y for that evil the people of the country had had to pay 400,0001. for_ the delay -600,0001. last year out of the inillion_ advanced. It was now proposed to give up the question of the , repayment of the 690,000/., and the 4 00 , 000 /. ha d been paid ior delay, caused . by certain parties who chose to interfere to prevent the ad j us t ' ` - neat of this important question. — (Hear , hear.) In Zr" 1 what had been the consequence? The dere- j pweenreedsttiollhsiunlffelraisntgi7:der the nr . :- ...ure f mr,set i r si t i t fr reaffpd. , when hl 6;PAttc.l te South of Ireland at : me anueuwett'Slit of the rejecti on o f th a t measure ;va t s h e tin made' thtt In was in company with several gentleinen of, large rtiverty and a Clergyman orthe Protestant Church. '`i o the surprise of the company the Rev. Gentleman was the only person who expressed his satisfaction at - the rejection of-' the measure. The Clergyman on that occasion said, that he was quite sure that the Duke would never have thrown it out unless he was prepared to grant -another million for the main tenanca of the Clergy, and afford to them the restitution of their rights. He ardently hoped that an increased majority, instead of a decreased one, would mark the vote of that night. ( Hear, hear.) With respect to the resolution which the Noble Lord had brought forward, he thought it a most incon venient mode of taking the sense of the House, but he felt bound to support the principle. In this he was greatly con firmed by the Report which had been laid on the table 9f the House.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. G. F. YOUNG, when he looked to the state of Ire land, could not reconcile it to himself to hesitate in ...tying his vote against the proposition of tie Right Hon. Baronet.— . The Right Hon. Baronet bad failed in giving sufficient reasons to prove that the House ought to take the course which he called on it adopt.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. F. FRENCH said that the principle of appropriation was recognized in former reigns, and in Protestant countries abroad.—( Hear, hear.) He denied that to appropriate for the purpose of education, was supporting error. On the con . trary, it was bringing error and truth into the same arena, and thus promoting truth, which from its own power was sure , to prevail. Mr. WALTER rose, but the greater part of his observa tions were inaudible in the gallery. The state of Ireland had long and frequently been to the House a subject of special at tention ; but that it had unprofitably been so was clear, for Ireland was as unsettled as ever, nor would the passing of this Bill conduce to its permanent tranquillity. If they looked back to the labours and Reports of their numerous Committes they would find that the never ceasing cause assigned for the distracted state of Ireland, was the penury of the great bulk of the population. The population, in fact, was not in want of education, but in want of bread. Dr. Doyle, in his pastoral letters, states that numbers peaished from want. To sustain this fact, the Hon. Member proceeded to read extracts from Dr. Doyle's wiitings. He ventured to ask what relief such a Bill as the present would afford to the suffering peasantry, for whom nothing had been done that Session ?—( Hear, hear.) He looked on all remedies proposed for the relief of Ireland—except they afforded some provision for the poor—(Hear)—as having some other object than that which they professed in view. Besides a provision for the poor, a Feat desideratum likewise was a legal provision for the ministers of that Church, which, although it was not es tablished, and he hoped it never would, was still the religion of the great majority of the people of Ireland. The most reasonable men concurred in the two measures he alluded to as essential to the tranquillity of Ireland. If he.thought that end would be gained by the present measure, he would vote for it, but as he considered that that result would certainly not be attained, he would vote for dividing the Bill.—( Hear.) Sir R. INGLIS differed from the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down on the policy and advantage of a provision for the Catholic Clergy. With reference to his recommen dation of a poor law for Ireland, there was great misappre hension as to the proportion which the population now rela tively bore to its extent in former times. He feared the en tire effect of this Bill of the Noble Lord would be that it would lead to the extinction of Protestantism in Ireland ; for he argued thus, that if this Bill had been passed some 20 or 30 years ago, that particular part of it which places the lowest limit to a parish which shall have a curacy or cure of souls to parishes which have 50 resident Protestants within it. Many parishes which would even under this Bill, have pastoral care, would have been deprived of it by such a regulation as this, which would have rendered it impossible that they should have a congregation sufficier.t to entitle those parishes to a regular performance of Divine worship or pas toral care, so as to form a parish, in fact, with cure of souls. —[ Here an interruption took place, by an Hon. Member rising at the farthest extremity of the House from the Speaker's chair, amidst cheers and discordant sounds from various per sons round him. It proved to be Mr. Forrester, who said he could not lon g er endure the interrupti o n th a t he expe r i en c e d from a Memb er behind him—the Hon. Member for Youghall. The interruption of the debate he conceived to be highly indecent—(" Hear, hear," and violent interruption)—and it was not, he must say, he first instance which he had wit nessed of similar indecent interruption by the same Hon. Member. Here the tumult and noise rendered it impos sible for any Member to be heard, though several attempted at the same time. Mr. John O'Connell, the Member for Youghall, was seen to come from the rear to a seat in front below the Ministerial Bench.] The SPEAKER'S rising produced a return to order, and silence was obtained, when he observed that it was not possible the Hon. Member alluded to should not see the very great in convenience that always resulted from attefnpts at interruption like that complained of. It was the fact that many Members who had addressed the House upon different subjects of late had complained, and strongly complained, of the increasing tendency to interruption within those walls. ( Loud cheering from all parts of the House.) A reiteration of that interruption, on its frequent occurrence, must be as discredita ble to the parties who caused it, as it was, undoubtedly, preju dicial in the public opinion to the character and dignity of that Assembly.—( Loud cheering for a considerable length of time.) He trusted that, after that admonition, the House and every Member of it would see the propriety of allowing the de bate to be continued without those interruptions or breaches of propriety which, he was much concerned to say, he had of late but too often witnessed.—(This address to the House was ve hemently cheered for some time.) Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL apologised for the manner in which, perhaps, he might convey his sentiments to the House on this occasion. He was not at all in the habit of speaking in that House, and he the was more embarrassed from the suddenness of the attack made upon him. He had been in that House since 1833, and hehad opportunities of witnessing interruptions made by the Hon. Member who now attacked him. He would now, since the Hon. Member had brought against him a charge of being more than any other Member distinguished by making a noise in this instance, that in saying so, he said that which was not the fact.--( Loud cheer ing from his friends.) The SPE AKER made an observation, which was lost to us from the tumultuous state of the House. Mr. C. FIT Z SIMON rose to moye the adjournment of the debate until to-morrow. The SPEAKER now rose to order. He observed that the person who had taken the most prominent part in the recent transactions had pursued a course of observation which most likely would lead to results it was the duty of the Chair and the House to prevent.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member below the bar had charged the Hon. Member on the floor with conduct which he described as indecent and unbecoming, whilst the Hon. Member for Youghall had retorted by stating that what the Hon. Member had said, in so charging him with being forward in disturbance, was not the fact. These were strong expressions, and it did not become the House to suffer them to pass without calling upon those Hon. Members to retract those offensive and personal observations.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. FORE ESTER instantly rose to say he was sorry he had uttered a word that was at all offensive to the feelings of any lion. Mcmher.—(Hear.) Mr. J. O'CONNELL, who had, previously to the late ex,. hortation on the part of the Speaker, retired, was now seen resuming his place. The SPE AKER immediately addressed him personally, restating what he conceived to be objectionable in what had fallen front him and the other Hon. Member. He acquainted him that in his absence the Hon. Member for Warwick had apologised to the House, stating that if he had said any thing which hurt the feelings of any Hon. Member, he was sorry for it., It was now necessary that the Hon. Member for Youghall should pay a similar tribute of respect to the orders and au thority of the House.—( Hear, hear.) , Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL said that, after the explanation made of the circumstances which had taken place since he left the House, he was prepared also to say that he was sorry he had used the expression that the Hon. Member had stated what was not the fact. Sir ROBERT INGLIS resumed the debate, but the voices in conversation were so loud, and the noise made by Members retiring so great, that it was vain to attempt collect ing what he said, as there was a- general cry for adjourning the question. Mr. HUM E, amid the confusion, moved the adjournment of the debate till to-day, which was carried. . _ The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the 110113 C adjourned at a' Quarter to One o'clock.

TH E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1835. VISIT OE LORD BROUGMA.3I TO LIVERPOOL. THE NEW MECHANI S INSTITUTION. (From the Liverpool Times of Thesday.) The foundation stone of the New Mechanics' Institution, about to be erected in Mount-street, in this town, was laid yesterday by Lord Brougham, in the presence of the Com mittee, of numerous friends of education, and a vast concourse of spectators. - His Lordship ar-;-- Etliw a Y abe•-" fit A.l),Orbti tAiiiit;!;` , :ti :ay the Corn- S Esq.,aeOin i p h a o n m i accompanied Esq., and other Gentlemen. The gates of the Crown-street station had been closed to exclude the thousands who had been Booth, as sembled to greet his Lordship, but the moment that he ap peared in the carriage he was received with cordial cheers by Henry from his friends. When the gates were thrown open, the cheering was renewed, and his Lordship proceeded through Crown-street, Abercromby-square, and Rodney-street, up Mount-street, to the site of the new building, accompanied by thousands of persons, and amidst repeated marks of public re spect. A kind of platform had been erected there, on which his Lordship ascended, accompanied by a great concourse of gen tlemen, amongst whom we noticed Charles Tayleur, William Brown, Hardman Earle, G. W. Wood, Henry Booth, James Drencher, Lawrence Hcyworth, Theodore Rathbone, Joseph Yates and Richard Yates, Christopher Rawdon, J. D. Thornely, Enoch Harvey, Thomas Blackburne, and James Mulleneux, Esquires ; Captain Bracken, the ReVerend Doctor Raffles, Doctor Rutter, the Reverend Edward Stanley, of Alderley, and many others. The concourse of persons assem bled to witness the ceremony, and to hear his Lordship, was immense, extending from the top of Mount-street to the bot tom, and covering the open ground. The wir lows were also crowded with ladies and gentlemen. Mr. JAMES MULLENEUX, after a brief but appropriate speech, in which he expressed his hope that the building about to be commenced would be productive of great and permanent ad vantages, not only to Liverpool, but to the country at large, presented the trowel to Lord Brougham, which bore the fol lowing inscription : " Presented by the Directors to the Right Hon. Henry Lord Brougham, &c., on laying the First Stone of the Liverpool Mecha nic's Institution, on the 20th day of July, 1835." Lord BROITGIIAM then 'went through the ceremony of laying the stone with the usual formalities. A glass bottle con taining a number of documents, was deposited in the cen tre of the stone, and covered with a brass plate, bearing the following inscription : " THIS FIRST STONE of an Edifice to be erected fora ME CHANICS' INSTITUTION, was laid on the 20th day of July, M.DCCC.XXXV., in the Sixth Year of the Reign of His Ma jesty William IV., by the RIGHT HON. HENRY LORD BROUGHAM and VAUX. The Subscription for its Erection was opened on the 15th day of October, 1832." The ceremony having been performed, Lord Brougham ascended the platform, amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the assembled multitude. Silence having been procured, Lord BROUGHAM spoke to the following effect :—" 'Gentle men, I consider, and I don't disguise, upon any occasion, my fixed opinion, that political meetings arc the right, and the privilege, and the duty of Englishmen.—(Cheers.) Never theless, as long as men are men, they will take different views of the same subject, and in proportion as the subject interests them, they will be apt to differ warmly and strongly in their opinions. The consequence is, that upon political subjects men have great differences, and they arc split into parties and shades of opinion, which the more intensely and more conscientiously they are held, the more difficult it will be either to compromise or surrender them. I have my own opinions, and many others, for whom I have the most sincere respect, having their opi nions, we differ from one another, and as I do not expect them to give up their opinions, they cannot expect me to abandon mine.—( Cheers.) The consequence of all which is that when I have met my fellow-citizens of Liverpool, on former occasions, I met only a part of the commu n i t y , and cnly that part of it which agreed with me in their po litical sentiments. But gentlemen, happily the present oc casion is one which allows of no difference of opinion at all—(Cheers.)—and Whig and Tory, Churchman and Dis senter, Priest and Layman, Catholic and Protestant, Eng lish, Scotch, and Irish, Radical and Constitutional, men moderate and violent—( A laugh)—all agree in favour of - Popular Education.—( Cheers.) This it is which gives me most sincere satisfaction in seeing you here assembled on the present occasion. I meet you upon neutral ground ; upon ground which knows no difference of opinion ; and I meet all my fellow-citizens, without any distinction of party or any jealousies; or any animosities whatever.—( Loud cheers.) Nothing, Gentlemen, can exceed the importance of the pursuit in which we are now engaged. It is to diffuse the blessings of knowledge, and to extend the means of instruc tion in the most useful arts to by far the most useful members of this community.--( Loud cheers.) The establishment of a Mechanic's Institution in Liverpool, as elsewhere, is one of the most important eras in the history of this place ;—to lay that foundation from which may be expected the greatest improvements in the arts and the sciences them selves, and the happiest results from the diffusion of the most important knowledge among the people.—( Cheers.) One thing only need be remarked to illustrute the truth of what I have said ; and it is this. During the last hour and a half I have travelled from Manchester to Liverpool, the only thought that presented itself at every step of the way, and, indeed, about the only subject which the immense velocity of our motion left one time to think about was, to whom and to what do we owe that extraordinary power, that mighty revolution of man's position on the globe, in their distances from, end yet their intercourse with each other, so that Man-, cheater is, as if by magic, brought within one-fifth of the distance it was ten years ago, and within one-tenth part of what it was a century before.—( Loud cheers.) What is it that has made this extraordinary revolution, which has given to man the wings of the dove, and which enables him to per form his various public and private duties, and to participate in the pleasures, the amusements, and the enjoyments of life, a dozen times in the course of a single day, and at distances so far asunder as would have taken him, in former times, a week to accomplish ? What is it that makes the distance be tween Manchester and Liverpool seem as nothing, and which will soon make the distance between Liverpool and Brumma gem—( A laugh),—and Brummagem and Lunnan--( A laugh) —take little more than the short space of ten hours to travel? —what is that which annihilates the space between different communities of men, and, walking on the waves themselves "like a thing of life," brings countries buried in the heart of America in proximity with the coasts of that mighty con tinent, and civilizes nations of savages by bringing them in close and regular intercourse with nations of civilized.men ? Why, it is to :team, which, generated by the power of nature, has been subjected to the uses of man, and made as docile, and a thousand times more powerful, than any domestic animal, instead of being a source of terror and dismay by its explosion.--(Loud cheers. ) And who subjected it to the use of man ? A common working mechanic--James Watt, whose namo ought to live, not merely in the history of his country, but of mankind.—(Cheers.) This common, working mechanic, although lie sprung from and was one of the people, possessed good conduct, genius, virtue, invention and knowledge, which a man may acquire, if he chooses, whether he springs from a peasant or a dike ' • and to this man, the working mechanic of Greenock, is the world indebted for the mighty dis covery of the gigantic power of steara.—( Cheers.) Now, there is not one mechanic who shall be taugi t at this institution, the foundation-stone of which has just been laid, that may not expect in after times to add to the discoveries of Watt, to extend the rowers of his species. to increase the resources of his country, and to be nefit all mankind by the application of his knowledge to the great est, the most useful of all pursuits in which mankind can be en gaged—l mean his triumph over the inert power and forces of mat ter.—(Loud cheering.) Having, for the first time, travelled on the railway, I could not see what I have seen this day, without at tempting to give expression to the emotions which arose ih my mind whilst surveying the triumph of human art, as displayed in that splendid specimen of mechanical ingenuity.—(Cheers. ) 1,..rd Brougham and a number of gentlemen then proceeded to the House of Mr. Thornely, M.P., where they partook of a cold collation. The multitude then dispersed. During the day his Lordship visited the Commercial Clerks' In stitution, St. Anne-street, the docks, and various other objects of curiosity in the town. On his visit to the Clarence Dock, his Lordship went on board the Robert Napier steam-packet, and was much pleased with all the arrangements. which cannot rest on any basis to good AS the foundation of good scientific, moral-, and religious education—(Cheers)—and I name these three branches in the inverse order of their importance.— (Cheers.)

And now, gentlemen, I might take my leave of you—( Cries of " No,") —and having called your attention to the principal subject of this evening's consideration. I have now one or two other things to allud e to, with your permission. When I came here, by the rail-road, for the first time, to-day—that stupendous work which literally unites Manchester and Liverpool—which has overcome the distance of space and time—which connects Manchester to this ' great outlet to the commerce of the world—when I performed that short ; journey of a long distance, I with pleasure remembered that the mechanic had removed alt the obstacles which lay in the way— that the proper application of the principles of science had led to the improvements of the arts, by which this wonderful work had been performed. I saw the difficulties of space overcome—mosses pierced through which, a few years ago, were scarcely stable be neath the foot of man or beast, and on which now were waggons laden with riches, bulk, weight—the valleys spanned by bridges— the steam carriages travelling over the water—rocks cut through— it was impossible to avoid admiration of the skill which had accom . plished all this, and the reflection presented itself, that all this— save the melancholy event which cost me a friend and you a repre sentative—that this, so fruitful in praise and the benefits it con ferred upon the whole family of man, had been accomplished with out the least loss of life—without one drop of blood.—( Applause.) At what a trifling expense had this prodigious work been accom , plislied—at what" a small price has this triumph of utility - been , gained ! Fifteen hundred millions of money have been squan dered in bloodshed—in war—(Hear)—in naturalizing barbarism over the world! In war, the curse of the human race—in war, which, thank God, can never again arise to such an extent, for the increased intelligence of man must utterly frustrate all future at tempts to control or destroy the liberty of the people.—(The im mense audience here simultaneously arose, and gave three times ' three cheers.) Believe me, I look back with shame, regret, and indignation at the course which our rulers pursued, which the people are too well informed to allow them ever again to pursue.— (Cheers. )—One hundred of those fifteen hundred millions, if em ployed in the arts of peace, would have made this country fruitful in blessings.—(Loud cheering.) As it is, I look back with disgust on what I speak of—we may see the day when, as it now is hateful to speak of, it may then be too incredible for belief. These wars in volved us in a present debt of eight hundred millions, having spent seven hundred more, ready cash, to keep it up before they went into debt. If, as I say, one hundred of these millions had been spent in such works, and if peace had been preserved during the thirty years in which we were at war with the world, how different would England have been ?—( Applause.) Gentlemen, besides the railway—on which I travelled for the first time to-day—l have seen Liverpool, which I never have visited without always finding it improved.—(Cheers.) I saw your magnificent docks—all Eu rope cannot present such another spectacle of that line, from the new dock to the great graving d oc k s , a ll o f w hi c h have been added since I was last here. And I must say that they are worthy the trade of this port, in which there is no gambling speculation as in other towns, London not excepted, and which is more healthy, if with less profits.—(Applause.) I witnessed another improvement. I was taken to a vessel lying in the dock. It is now a trader, and had once been a slave ship, captured by an American cruiser in the South American Seas. It had been filled with a crew of pirates, and I grieve to say, that three of them were Englishmen. The Captain was killed, and met his fate with a courage worthy of a better cause. In this vessel of 300 tons, there was a cargo of 750 slaves, besides a piratical crew of 75 ruffians. The three English men are now in a dungeon, about to suffer the capital punishment which the law has awarded.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, thirty or forty years ago, I might as well have my right hand cut off or my . tongue burned out of my head, as have uttered of that ship and her hellish trade what I utter now.--( Great applause.) Gentlemen, nations have gradually improved in laws, morals, or manners—this they have done in the course of years, but I will say, that Liver pool is the only community which within such a short space as I have mentioned, effected this moral miracle of being shamed out of this guilty trade.—(Loud cheers.) Perhaps I should apologize for the length to which these remarks have run. —(Cries of " No, no—we are not tired yet.") I thank you for the kind reception I have received from you to-day : peilaps I would have felt it more if I had less expected it, and your kindness l e cvu x as c re e dd e exceeds any m a g n oe y icnt p g o rna w yb • e o r fue l tu h tob a we ie ce io t t o titzn d et e nr s cribe my feelings.—( Cheers.) I am confident I do not degrade the station I hold, when I come for ward accidentally, I attended only ys o l n a(s e tA p Py o Pe l political dinner cl )d i i n n n nl e e r rh ianv partiese- Scotland be 7 eaxc that exception was a dinner to my friend Mr. Bannerman, at Aber deen, and thither I did go, of my own free will. But, voluntarily, I attended none other. I come to the ridiculous falsehoods—the absurd reports--for absurd and ridiculous they are—that Lord Althorp and myself had endeavoured to turn Lord Grey out of the Government. I say, I have two letters from Lord Grey whi,ch acquit me—but do you think we would be so ridiculous as to cut our own throats ? Lord Grey sent me two letters in which he admits that none gave him such assistance as Lord Althorp and myself. But, although I had these letters, I was constrained to dine with him at Edinburgh, because, if I had not gone to meet him, the reports in currency would have seemed to be true.— (Applause.) But, say those who carp at me, only think of a Chancellor travelling through and dining in Scotland—(Laughter) —not only a Chancellor, but a Lord High Chancellor.—(Loud laughter.) Gentlemen, I should not wonder were they to say next that a Lord High Chancellor should not dine at all. e —(Loud laughter.) But the charge is a serious one, and I must de fend "my order."—(Renewed cheers and laughter.) I am a ccusedlwilghaerevneeof going to publi c di nners. —G ent l emen , your l a t e repre sentative, Mr. H us ki sson , never fli nc h e d f rom meet i ng hi s fellow citizens i n pu bli c.— ( Loud applause.) He went among them not merely whe n th ey di ne d together, but when there was no di nner. T hwheiamscatnAmleywreoCourandnid: to n al ing, also your represe n tative : I supported Mr. Canning's government. I opposed the man, personally, for years, bec ause hi s op i n i ons were not liberal and mine were : s m up y p P or r t in . ciP l les r r— efu w s h ed enheca office, ae understanding that what support I could render him he heartily had. Gentle men,liberal, Mr. Ca nn i ng was not ashamed to dine with his fellow citizens.—{Applause.)n more Then there was th e l a te r. Pitt. No mlamented than M than I do the course that Minister latterly took, owing to some alarmists about the Court,—and in the same quarter the same efforts are now making.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, I would not heed those alarmists, and therefore have the satisfac tion of being out of office instead of in it.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Pitt was a great Minister : he sacrificed much to ambition, and much to love of place, which, with him, was not love of power— for he continued in office without that power which every Minister must have, if he wishes to act wisely and honestly. To the po litics of his early life I adhere—he started as a Reformer, and un fortunately permitted himself to be seduced from it. But he was a great and distinguished man, and I am defending Pitt when I de fend myself. Mr. Pitt, gentlemen, attended political meetings. When Napoleon became Emperor of France and King of Italy —made so by himself—he denounced our ships, colonies, and commerce. Mr. Pitt made a counter manifesto,—not sa tisfied with the victory gained at Trafaliar, by Lord Nelson, over the combined fleets of Spain and }ranee, he issued this counter manifesto at a dinner in London. The battle was fought on the 21st October, and on the 9th of November, at the Lord Mayor's dinner, he gave the toast " Ships, colonies and com merce."—(Applause.) But Mr. Pitt was only a Chancellor of the Exchequer. —(Laughter.) Well, I must even defend my vene rable predecessor, Lord Eldon, from whom I never received any thing but th e grea t est persona l kindness ; whom, as a lawyer, I respect as a pure fountain of equity, the principles of whose court I have studied—he was twenty-five years in office, and I was only four ; but I must defend him, for he was a Lord High Chancellor, and he attended public dinners, year after year, while Mr. Pitt lived, and after his decease knew no better way by which to testify his respect for the person and principles of that great man, than to annually attend the dinner given on the anniversary of his birth.— ( Applause.) Thus, gentlemen, it is not unexampled for even a Lord Chancellor to attend public dinners. Nay, it is not merely the right of public men to meet the people, but it is the privilege of the people to meet public men, and no one would intrude on that privilege unless they wish to have the people more easily led- or misled—governed or misgoverned.—(Applause.) It is said, Gentlemen, that I hold opinions out of office different from what I held in office,—that I now magnify the power and raise the hopes of the people, and that while in office I shunned them. During the two years succeeding the passing of the Reform Bill, the Ministry opened the trade to the East—abolished slavery in the West Indies—renewed the Bank Charter—destroyed the monopoly of the East India Company— opened the trade to China—amended the Penal Code—reformed the Poor Laws—and improved the practice of the Court of Chan cery.—(Great applause.) I asked was this doing little ?' I hold the same opinions now. I apply to the present state of the Govern ment, and ask—have I not given constant proof of acting in 1835 as I acted in 1834?—(Cheers.) If any measures lay next my heart, they were Bills which I actually had in print—one for instituting Local Courts, to bring justice to every man's door at a cheap rate, and the other was to abolish pluralities and the non-residence of the Cler g y.—(Great applause.) I have abstained from bringing these Bills forward—l have not said a word to urge Government to take them up—albeit, they are neaaest my heart—besides, I considered that the all-important' measures, from which nothing should divert them, were a Reform in the Municipal Corporations, and what, I u e s b e. e ) gin l ni d n o g n nf ot ß w e is fo h rm thet t t h o e g l o ri On h farther or faster(Tiemtheann should not be precipitate—and when the people see that honest men is prudent.

I support them, but while they continue to act well and wisely, I shall be one of th eir hum b lest, an d pe r haps n o t q uit e superfluous ' supporters in a house where they have not overmuch support.— (Load cheering.) In a country where lam so well acquainted, I shall support them in doors and out of doors , until they force me to leave them , and then not alone shall I leave them , but the peo ple.— ( Applause. ) And this will be—if it should be—if they leave the people, I shall not delay to ask the question, will the people then go with me or them ?—( Tremendous applause.) Gentlemen, this is not a party meeting, and it has been named that I must not mention politics.—(No, no.) I grudge his opinions to no man—l turn not my back on those who were our adversaries and are willing. to be our friends. If a G r ey , a Russell , a Melbourne , a Welling ton, or a Peel were against us , and change their bad opinions, and do not change them to bolster up a falling column or a political them as friends.—( Cheers.) I supported Mr. he changedand introduced is ae lt e l e in pt istry whenhis opinions, principles into his foreign and domestic policy. In 1831 I ( ipc i b i a ( aer i nrt t h aynil e nlg- s ame by Lord Melbourne, Glenelg, Goderich, Richmond, and Palmerston, (all of whom supported Castlereagh's Six Acts) when they became Reformers. In one Cabinet, besides these Noblemen, there were Lords Grey, Al thorp, Russell, and myself. We had always been Reformers—the others had not—but when they became so, I said let us all work together.—( Applause. ) Gentlemen, it is said that the dupes of Liverpool are the only ones who would invite me to a public dinner. I do not know why they should ; / never bribe—/ never treated. ) When I came from Scotland, I had numerous in vitations from Yorkshire and Lancashire to dine. I reside - in Westminster; did my fellow-citizens of London send-a deputation LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1835. In another part of The Sun will be found some in teresting particulars respecting Lord BROUGHAM'S visit to Liverpool. - His Lordship arrived in that town early on Monday last, by the rail-way from Manchester, for the purpose of laying the foundation stone of a Mechanic's Institution ; and in the evening : , he was entertained at: a public dinner by the Liver pool Reformers, whom he addressed at some length in a speech which produced a deep impression o n a ll w h o had the good fortune to hear it. His Lordship com menced by some graceful and pertinent remarks on " the good effects that would result from the adoption of a system of general education ;" and then proceeded to observe that " no man could feel more anxious than he did, for the preservation of that great blessing, peace—peace with all nations ; peace with America, peace in Ireland, peace with the enlightened, the great people of France, our nearest neighbours, and therefore, as our sordid interests are concerned, our best customers." By furthering the cause of general education, and doing his best to raise the people from the state of gross, contented ignorance, in which the Tories, for obvious reasons, so long allowed them to slumber, Lord BROUGHAM is taking the most effectual means to ensure the continuance of that peace, on which he sets so proper a value. National edu cation is the best—indeed the only sure—guarantee for na tional tranquillity. Instruct the people, and you at once rid them of a hOst of prejudices and caprices ; and furnish them with means by which to arrest the schemes of any ambitious, unprincipled party who might desire, from mo tives of self-interest, to precipitate them into continental wars. Why has England so often, and so disastrously, mixed herself up with the European contests ? Because the mass of her population were incapable of thinking rightly for themselves. Why is it that she is now so de sirous to cultivate friendly connections with all the great continental Powers ? Because that same population, once so ignorant, has now become so generally enlightened— though not yet to the extent that could be desired—as to see and feel that war is an expensive luxury, in which, though the few may be gainers, the majority are sure to be losers. To the magnificent exertions of Lord BROUGHAM, it is, that this national improvement is in a great degree owing. He it was who, in a season of doubt and diffi culty, when a despotic oligarchy was at the helm, and when to be the people's friend, was to lose caste with the Aristocracy, and to be virtually excluded from the circles over whom their opinions had influence, persevered in his patriotic career, unmoved by the flat teries, undismayed by the threats, to each of which the Tories• alternately had recourse. Let us not, then, while now reaping the harvest of knowledge, forget that it was he who sowed the seeds. He is worthy of our highest praise—of our undying gratitude ; and this the more, because vulgar, interested calumny, to which the greatest benefactors of the human race .have ever been the most subject, are now stirring heaven and earth (but in vain) to lower him in the estimation of his countrymen. His Lordship's defence of his frequent, familiar intercourse with that class from which he sprang, and from which he boasts that he has sprung, and which he may possibly re gret that he ever left, was triumphant in the highest de gree. But though triumphant, assuredly it was super fluous ; and the same may be said of his reply to the trite accusation that he had intrigued to procure the dismissal of Lord GREY, to which no man in his senses ever gave the slightest credit. Sir „ItoBERT PEEL'S long meditated attack upon the Irish Church Reform Bill, was made last night, — and al though we were confident that the measure was in no dan ger-from such artillery as he could bring to bear upon - it, we did expect a much more vigorous and effective effort from the Right Hon. Leader of his Majesty's Oppo sition. Of all the speeches of Sir R. PEEL which it has been our fate to peruse, that delivered last night is, in our opinion, the least creditable to his talents, either as as a statesman or a debater. In this long and laboured affair, we can find nothing that rises above the tamest mediocrity. No enlarged views of policy, no striking illus trations, no happy display of argumentative power, inter rupt the dull monotony of that common-place verbiage and official phraseology which generally constitute the chief in gredients in the Right Hon. Baronet's oratory. The sole object of the speaker being to misrepresent the character of the measure in question, and to throw dis credit on the motives of those with whom it has originated, every puny artifice is resorted to by which its apparent de fects may be exaggerated, and its excellencies diminished. The dreadful injustice of openinf , up tithe compositions, which may have been fraudulently entered into, is dWele upon with much pathos, while not a word is said about- the compulsion which the Right. Honourable Baronet's own tithe measure proposed to exercise upon the landlords by transrerring, to them the whole burden of the tithes— the greatest stride in legislation as affecting property that perhaps ever was made. Again it is proved, logically enough, that there will be no surplus ; but then Sir Ro ➢EnT takes upon himself to fix 2001. as the 171i1111111int stipend for.every clergyman in Ireland I And he instances the stipends of the Scottish clergy as enforeing his argnment,—taKing care not to mention that in the deltic di s t r i c t s o f Scotland, where:the population is widely scat tered, there fig many regularly-educated Ministers of the Church located, under the name of. Missionaries, with sti pends of 601. or 701. - b. year, whose duties are far more laborious than those of any Parochial Minister either in Ireland or Scotland! We are sorry that we have not room at present to notice the Speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in reply, in which the misrepresentations of the Right Hon. Bart. are exposed, and the Bill defended in a masterly ntmner. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received. The following telegraphic dispatch, dated Bay onne, July 19, was posted up on the Bourse at three o'clock on Monday : " GENERAL HABISPE To THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR, "As I foresaw, a battle has taken place on the 16th inst. The Carlists were driven back upon Estella, and hotly pursued thither until nightfall. Their artillery took the direction of Le?.umbery. No details are yet known, but that a battle took place apptars to be certain. It is said that the three Castilian battalions, formal of Christine prisoners, have gone over to the Queen's troops." The insurgents in Catalonia have been defeated, wherever they have been encountered. The Governor of Berga has killed many of their men. Four bands, under the supe rior command of SAMS°, have vainly endeavoured to oc cupy the position of LA POLLA. The garrison of that place has repulsed them with loss. They have not been more successful at Gassols, where they have also been repulsed by the Urban Militia : 'Extract of a letter from St. Sebastian of the 12th instant " Fighting has commenced since the morning at the end of the bridge of the Bidassoa. Two Carlist battalions, under the com mand of Sagastibelza and Ottamendey, arrived from Oyarstin, commenced the attack. The Urbans vigorously sustained their fire. It is believed that the Carlists will retire this day in the evening, notwithstanding their great anxiety to obtain possession of this point in Spain." A letter from Bahobie says—" It is reported that the English cruiser stationed before St. Ander has captured a small vessel, richly laden, which was attempting, under cover of the night, to effect a landing on the coast of Spain. It is affirmed that the crew consisted of five sailors, that there were on board two persons ex tremely well dressed, and two ladies. At a time when so many adventurous enterprises are talked of, this arrest cannot fail to give rise to many conjectures." . FIU FUNDS —PARIS, Aux 20. Five per Cents., IC9f. 10:. sc. 108 f, 95c.

About 600 persons, comprising the principal reformers of Liverpool, sat down ; and, as each ticket admitted also a lady, there would be at least the tame number of ladies in the boxes. The cloth being drawn, the Chairman, Ismns BLA Neiman, Esq.. rose and gave the following toasts : " His Majesty the King, Duke of Lancaster," three times three. —Band, " God save the King." " The Queen and the Royal Family," three times th:ee. Band, " Hese's a hea . .th to all good Lasses." " His Majesty's Ministers." The company unanimously rose and gave three times three cheers, which were three times reite rated, amidst the waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies in the boxes. The CHAIRMAN, having called for a bumper, then said,—We have now arrived at the most important toast of the evening. We are this day honoured with the presence of an ilinstrious man, who is known not only to England, but to Europe and to all the world. —(Loud cheers.) Honoured and beloved as Henry Brougham by his country, and by his King as Lord Brougham, I propose his health as Henry Lord Brougham—the zealous and consistent pro moter of education, and the powerful advocate of civil and religious liberty.—( Great cheering.) The cheers were prolonged and renewed for several minutes, and, on Lord Brougham's rising to return thanks, the thunders of applause were again and again repeated. Silence being at length obtained, Lord BROUGHAM proceeded lo address the audience as follows: " Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to consider, without feelings of the most animating description, this occasion which draws together and is connected with cur assembling this evening ; for of all the improvements that have been made of late years, in the condition of the people in this country, the diffusion of knowledge, both of science and of art, among the middle classes, to whom our Me chanics' Institutions are devoted, stand in the first rank among the very first of those improvements.—(lmmense cheering.) They have spread during the last ten or twelve years prodigiously over the country,but it is a debt of justice to an eminent individual to remind you that it is not only ten or twelve years ago that Mechanics' Insti tutions were originated ; for although the London Mechanics' In stitution was established through the exertions of Dr. Birkbcelt, he had twenty-two years before that established the first Mechanics' Institution in existence in Glasgow, where he first gave scientific lectures to humble artizans.—(Cheers. ) Some have doubted if he was the first that suggested the London Mechanics' Institute,—be it that he had coadjutors in planning, as he certainly had coadjutors in executing it,—l care not for it—it was only taking a leaf out of his book twenty-two years old, which I have iri my possession, printed at Glasgow in 1800, and which contains the prospectus of the first course of lectures • ever delivered to the men of art.— ( Cheers.) And now, I hone that those who have assisted in laying the foundation stone, and (hose who are here to celebrate the fes tival connected with it, will continue to promote to the utmost of their power the cause of education, of popular improvement, and of public virtue, which is intimately connected with education —and '~"~ to invite me to dine with them, and I da'etrictl; ht'etite t have a constant opportunity of meeting them. It is strange, flied, that Liverpool, as well as London, should pay me this honour !

I may feel disposed to return to the cares of official life. It must be a strong Government, and an honest Government, and one which promises ranch for the people, that can induce me to join it. —(Cheers.) I congratulate you on the occurrences and the changes which have taken place in the social and political condition of our country since I last saw you. Our, adversaries are busy laughing at our efforts. Let them do so—they are perfectly harmless. They laugh at our penny literature, but I trust to see the day when all taxes on knowledge will be completely and for ever repealed. — (Cheers.) They will bring in the artillery of their ridicule. They may laugh at the march of intellectual improvement—the march of intellect, as it is contemptuously termed. I apprehend it will be found more correct than ridiculous. The highest prerogative of a mighty intellect is to leave its works behind. The greatest benefac tors of the human race have had their motives slandered, and their conduct misconstrued. Posterity, however, has done them justice, and nothing could yield more solid satisfaction than to have en graved on their tombs, " Here lies one in whom mankind lost a friend, and no man got rid of an enemy." The Noble Lord then sat down amid loud and continued cheering, which lasted for several minutes. After other toasts had been given, Lord BROUGHAM again rose, and, after complimenting warmly the bright constellations who adorned the boxes, proposed the health of the " Lancashire Witches."—( Great 'cheers and laughter. ) At this hint, which was very cordially responded to, the ladies all retired, and were followed by Lord Brougham, the Chairman, and others, at a quarter to eleven. Lord Brougham, we believe, will leave Liverpool this morning for Manchester. Pim:Es oi• STOCK , : Tuts DAY AT ONE O'COLCK. BAnk Stock 21514 216' New sper Cent — 3 per Cent. Bed - -- 3 per Cent.

In the Lonna' last night, Lord Joust RUSSELL, attended by fa considerable number of ,'Members of the other House, brought up the Corporation Reform Bill, which was afterwards read a first time without comment, and ordered to be read a second time nest Tuesday. Lord FARNHAM intimated his hostility to any such mew' sure of Municipal Reform for Ireland. A Bill, as amended, for preventing the lapse of benefices, passed through a Committee. The Foreign Postage Bill was read a first time. In the COMMONS', a Committee to try the validity of Col• Tito arson's return for Hull was hallotted for. The ATTORNSIt'" GENERAL, in reply to some remarks made by Mr. PEASE respect ing the large amount of fees that had been lately paid on the re' . newel of the charter for Malden, said that he should wish that the, cost, in such cases, should not be greater than the price merely et the wax and parchment. The Municipal Corporations Bill Was conveyed to the House of Lords, and received by the Vice-Chan`" , ocllor. A petition for the pardon of a person implicated in the Ips wich affair, and now confided in Newgate, was presented. At the re quest of Lord Moavavu, several members having deferred notices of motion, in order that the Irish Church Bill might be brought for ward, the Noble Lord, after some petitions had been presented, then moved that the House do resolve into Committee, on the Irish Church Bill. Sir It PF.EL, in a speech of great length, moved to the effect that the Bill be divided into two parts, so that that part" which related to the recovery of Tithes, and that which in volved the appropriation of the surplus revenues of the Es tablishment, might each form a distinct act. The Hon. Ba ronet argued against the expectation of any surpl us , a n d sal that the revenues of the Church had been overrated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ably opposed the amendment. His speech, which was received with loud and repeated cheers, will be found elsewhere in our columns. A somewhat disorderly inter ruption occurred during the delivery of Sir R. INGLIS' speech in favour of Sir R. PEEL'S amendment. , After order had been re stored, and the two Hon. actors in the scene had mutua:ly ex plained, Mr. HUME moved and carried an adjournment of the debate, THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK Our only arrival this morning is one French mail, with no letters. His Alajesiy's schooner _Viper has arrived at Falmouth, from Lis bin. Sailed on the 10th inst. with important dispatches for Go vernment, which have not as yet transpired. It is raid that they , relate to the marriage of the Queen of Portugal. THE FUNDS. Owing to the prevailing opinion in the City among the monied interest, that, nothing official will be known respecting the West India loan for several days to come, money has become more plen tiful, particularly for commercial transactions. Consols, which Icft off yesterday at 90} for the Account, opencil at the same price this morning, siece which they have been don° at 90;ki. Exchequer Bills, 29 31 ; India Bonds, 11 13 ; Bank Stock, 215 i, 216} ; India Bonds, 25515, 236.1, In the Foreign Market there also an improvement on the leaving off prices of yesterday. Spanish closed at 494, 501 ; opened at 50&' 51i1. Spanish Scrip left off9L ; at present 9 discount Portuguese left off soi 91, and opened at the same price. Three per Cents., 601 Colombian 361 7 ; Mexican 36% 7 ; Dutch 21, 544 %. The express from Paris is important; it brings a telegraphic de snatch from Bayonne, stating that the Carlists were defeated on. the 16th inst. in an attack they made on the Queen's troops, and retreated to Estella, with the loss of their artillery. Particulars of the battle have not yet been received. We stated yesterday that the Carlists had lost their charm—i t " nov appears% at their great General (Moreno), can do nothing; for The Batarier is arrived, bringing Dutch paprrs to the 22d lug , Two and Half per Cents., 55a; .5 per Cents., 101 9-16. No news of consequence. HALF-PAST ONE. The important information said to have been received by vernment from Lisbon has not yet transpired in the city. At one period in the morning Consols were 904 sellers for the Account, sinc e w hi c h th ey h ave rema i ne d s t ea d y at 904 a, w ith little doing. It is again asserted that in a day or two an na" cial communication will be sent down by Ministers, respecting the West India Loan, but the amount they will regtfre is doubtful' We also hear that four lists are forming for the bidding of tha above Loan. Exchequer Bills, 29 31 ; India Bonds H lower ; Bank Stocks 2I 16. The Foreign Market has been rather buoyant in the morning.; at present it is not so good. Spanish, which reached 514 is at pre- - sent 514 ; Spanish Scrip, w hi c h was , discount, is at present discount ; Portuguese, which was 601, reached 60.1, at iresent 604 • - Mexican. 37 ; Dutch No further Arrivals.
