" Circumstances have imposed extraordinary burdens ott the country, which has understood their necessity and courageously supported them. By means of the financial measures voted last session, our patriotic army has been maintained on a respectable footing of defence; we have sustained employment, the public treasury has been able to fulfil faithfully all its obligations, and the burden of the floating debt has ceased to press on credit. The future will recompense the sacrifices of the past. " The subsidies destined for extraordinary wants have been voted only until the Ist of September next, but, thanks to the prudent reserve which we bad imposed on ourselves with respect to the expenditure, the crea tion of new burdens will not be necessary ; and unless unforeseen complications interpose, the budgets already voted will suffice till the end of the year. " All our efforts, Gentlemen, should tend to maintain a good financial situation for Belgium; for on such a situation its strength and security mainly depend. The normal budget of the expenditure will be reduced. My Government is resolved to effect by degrees economical reductions. " Several imposts will be fundamentally modified, and in the partition of those burdens, we shall not lose sight of the duty of sparing those individuals whose livelihood is gained by their labour alone. With real solicitude, we shall continue to seek out all the best measures for improving and raising the condition of the laborious classev. " We are passing through a period full of difficulty for European society. Belgium will not allow herself to be diverted from the wise and sure path on which she has entered. By happy union she has been enabled to reconcile stability with progress, and order with the practice of liberty in every shape. In order to keep on that path, and suceessfully accomplish her mission of peace and labour, she has only to have faith in herself and remain united. You, gentlemen, who faithfully express her sentiments and her wishes, and who are en trusted with her dearest interests, will worthily respond to her expectations. You will afford to the Government that kind co-operation which it requires in order to fulfil its difficult task; and then again our common efforts will have deserved well of our country." On concluding the speech his MAJESTY was greeted with loud cries of " Vive le Roi !" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WINCHESTER RACES.—TUESDAY. The Great Produce Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft. New Mile.

BATHAM.-"CONTINUING " AN ACTION. This was an action to recover the value of goods sold. The plaintiff's attorney said the action was originally brought for 21. 13s , but had been stayed on condition of defendant paying the debt and costs. He paid the debt and several instalments, which, however, did not cover the costs, and it had therefore become necessary to bring the case before the jury ; but as the debt was extinguished he need not adduce evidence, and a verdict for nominal damages would suffice for the case. A juror said he did not see how he could find a ver dict even for a farthing without evidence, and still more so in the face of an admission that the debt had been paid. The Learned SECONDARY said that by defendant not Pleading at the time the action was brought, he admitted Something was due, and although the debt was settled the action could be continued to recover the costs, al though coming before the Court entailed a considerable additional expense. The jury gave a verdict for is. TURQUAND AND ♦NOTHER V. CURTIS. This was an action by the assignee of a bankrupt to recover for goods sold. There was no defence, and a verdict was given for 281. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Pederick Beevor, who described himself as a reporter, *IA brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having !tolen a guinea, the property of Mr. Benjamin Caunt, l andlord of the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane. , Tho prosecutor s t a ted, that in the month of Novem ber, 1 845, th e prisoner was sitting in his parlour, while wit -11e!s was tossing a particular friend for a bottle of wine. Witness was tossing with an old guinea, and just as he had placed the coin on the table his wife came and called him out of the room. He went out, leaving the guinea °2l the table. On his return he was surprised to find that the prisoner had bolted, taking the guinea with him. Witness subsequently wrote to him, and received the following letter in reply:— " Friday, Nov. 15-45. " Dr. , Ben,—l only just this moment have discovered that I am in possession of a guinea which belongs to You. Knowing that such a thing is a rarity, allow me to assure you that you shall have the selfsame piece re turned. I should have sent it by this, but was afraid of its being lost. I shall be in town again on Wednesday ° 1 " Thursday next, when you may rest contented that I s hall restore it ; or if I meet with any one whom I A llow to be trustworthy, and is coming to town, I shall d epute the party to deliver it. " Your obedient servant, " FREDK. BEEVOR." Witness, however, never received the guinea as pro rued, and altho ug h h e had repeatedly met him since, had no opportunity of giving him in charge till this The prisoner denied the felonious intent, and said his m other w ou ld r e ce i ve h e r pension in a few days, wh en e would pay Mr. Caunt his guinea. He would give a t l arantee for the amount if Mr. Caunt would accept it. ' l % Caunt declined doing so, and prisoner was remanded t ill Monday. r- ADVERTISEMENT].—STOWE.—We are requested 1 0 State that the sale of the magnificent effects at Sto we "64 I positively take place in the beginning of Aug us t kurther particulars fy l a wear ileA& week. THE SUN, LOND9N, _WEDNESDAY EV.ENING, JUNE 28, 1848. M(TNEY and COMMERCIAL IN .11 NY S. CITY, QUARTER TO THIci , ..E. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday continued steady, but was quiet. Sales 2,500 to 3,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway Shares advanced again. The mar ket was firm, and although there was not a large busi ness done, the improvement in prices was general, North- Western, Midland, &c., being in especial request. Arrivals from Sydney and some other places are an nounced, but the dates they bring do not appear to be later. The demand for labour seemed to offer an excel lent opening for industrious men, and capitalists can at the same time invest their means to advantage, as good sheep were very cheap. In Port Philip a fat wether was to be had for ss. 6d. The accounts which we receive from the continental Money-markets are nearly all of the same general tone. Everywhere there are ample funds at command for pur poses of trade, but great dullness and mistrust exist, consequently no one will venture upon trans actions further than immediate requirements ren der necessary. In Hamburgh this is especially the case, and much solicitude is felt regarding the prosecu tion of the Schleswig war, which most parties appear to think will be on a grander scale than previously, since the Swedes and Russians may have to be brought into play to meet the increased German force that is pre paring to oppose the Danes. Accounts of May 29 from Pernambuco furnish no in • telligence of importance. Trade continued inactive. The exchange on London, 3 months, was 25d. There has been a moderate demand to-dayfor grain, at Monday's prices. The enterprise of our transatlantic neighbours an nually developes to an extraordinary extent their bundant resources, and furnishes, at the same time, an excellent example to the adjacent British colonies. It is stated in a communication before us, brought by the last arrival, that " The Lakes of the Atlantic are united by ship-navigation. The Atlantic steamer Free- Trader is at Chicago, having arrived from Montreal, making the trip in six days, stopping at Hamilton, on Lake Ontario, Cleveland, on Lake Erie, and other places. She carries 3,500 barrels of flour, and runs hereafter from Chicago (Illinois), to Halifax (Nova Scotia). Wonderful, incredible, but true! What times, what a world we live in! 2,000 miles of lake and river naviga tion—leaving from any port of Michigan to any seaport in the world ! ' The probable effect of the important events at Paris upon France generally, and upon the disaffected towns of Germany, &c., is a matter of discussion in City circles, and generally the conclusion come to is, that so much blood will not have been spilt in vain. The great object of solicitude now, however, is as to the mode in which the National Assembly will determine upon carrying on the Government. A false step would impair confidence, and destroy also the good anticipated from the triumph of order. The Funds have been very quiet to-day, and the market keeps steady. Consols have realised 838 ; New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. 841 to 1 ; and the Three per Cent Annuities 838 to 84i. Bank Stock has been at 189 to 191. Exchequer-bills have been 38s. to 405. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, with the exception of Portuguese, in which there have been some transactions at the improved rates of 15k and 16} ; Mexican Stock has realised 16. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 221 to 224 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 43 to 434. Railway Shares have been held rather firmly again, and North-Western, Midland, Great Western, South- Eastern, and the York lines are rather higher. ONE CLOSING 'RICE S OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY A very limited supply of English Wheat has arrived for our market this week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. The quantity of that grain on offer to-day was small; while the demand for all de scriptions was steady, and Monday's quotations were well supported. No Foreign Wheat has come to hand since Saturday. With that article we were very scan tily supplied, owing to which the sale was firm, at ex treme rates of currency, Parcels in bond as well as on board were held at very full prices. No English Barley on offer. Foreign parcels were a slow sale, but we have no further decline to notice in value. In Malt, compa ratively little business was transacted; but we have no alteration to notice in value. All kinds of Oats—the supply of which was not to say extensive—were a slow inquiry, at low rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were very dull. The Flour trade was steady, and prices were well supported. ARILIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Oats.

LATEST FROM PARIS. Up to six o'clock last night Paris was perfectly tranquil. The Moniteur contains a decree, signed by General CAVAIGNAC, ordering the Judge Advocite attaché to the Courts-Martial of the first military division, and their deputies, to prepare evidence against the indi viduals arrested in consequence of the events of the 23d June and following days, in order that those persons may be tried according to the provisions of the penal code. The same official journal contains a decree, signed by General CAVAIGNAC, commanding that the power delegated to the officers of the judicial police shall be exercised under the direction of the military authorities. General PERROT has been named Commander-in- Chief of the National Guard of the Seine, by General CAVAIGNAC. We take the annexed account from Galignani s Messenger of last evening : The Univers gives the following relative to the mission which the Archbishop ofraats took on him self to fulfil with regard to the insurgents : "On Sunday evening the Prelate, accompanied by two of his vicar-gen era l s , proceeded by the Rue St. An toine to the Place de la Bastille where the combat still continued. The w e l come which he had received from General Cavaignac was but a prelude to what he met with in the places near the scene of the combat. His resolution was praised ; he was surrounded by citizens, soldiers, and women, who fell on their knees, and were unanimous in calling down bl ess i ngs on t h e head of the envoy of God, and in imploring his benediction. Some among them, more prudent than the rest, represented to him the danger, perhaps useless, which he would incur. His reply was, It is my duty to offer ap my life;' and he was heard to frequently repeat to himself—Bonus autem pastor dat vitam suam pro ovibus suis. On his route he entered several of the ambulances, giving his blessing and absolution to the wounded. On reaching the scene of combat, which was then going on with great severity, he asked the Colonel who was in command whether it was not possible to stop his tire for a few moments; he hoped by such a plan that that of the insurgents would also be suspended, and that during this temporary truce he might make himself known and come to a parley with them. The Colonel, admiring the feeling of the Archbishop, yielded to his request, and the anticipations of the prelate were realised, for the firing ceased simultaneously on both sides. The insurgents mounted on the top of their bar ricade, and held the butt-ends of their m us k e t s i n th e air. The Archbishop and his two vicars-general, M. Jacquemet and M. Ravinet, advanced towards the barricade. One man alone, dressed in a blouse, preceded him, carrying a branch of a tree in his hand as a mark of conciliation. The insurgents, on their part, descended from their barricade, some of them appearing pacifically inclined, and others with menace in their features and in their language. By a zeal which can readily be understood, the combatants on the side of order could not reconcile it to them selves to see the Archbishop thus exposed to the rage of men who had on that very day murdered some persons who had been sent to parley with them. They, therefore, neglected the request of the Prelate, and ad vanced, and were thus face to face with their enemies. Reproaches and threats exchanged, and personal strug gles took place, the disastrous consequences of which the ecclesiastic sought to prevent in the name of religion, and of the Pontiff who came there to stop the effusion of blood, to save those who had taken up arms, and their wives and children. During these altercations which for some time delayed the ac complishment of the holy mission, a musket was fired, but it is not known on which side, or whether it was by accident or intentionally. In an instant a cry of • Treason, treason !' arose on all sides ; the com batants retired, and the firing became more severe than ever. The worthy Archbishop was thus placed between the two fires ; he showed no alarm, he never thought of escaping to the right or left. He ad vanced towards the barricade, and still accompanied by his vicars-general he mounted it and reached the sum mit. He was thus in view of both parties. The balls whistled round him, but at this time app eare d to res p ec t him. One of his attendants had three balls through his hat. The mediator showed himself and what voice could be more eloquent than this heroic apparition 1 What thanks ought to fall on the heart of the Pontiff, thus offering and giving his blood and his life for the people entrusted to his care. What glory also both for him and for the faith which inspires it But his sacrifice was to be completed. He came down from the Calvary where death had spared him, and had scarcely descended a few steps, when he fell pierced in the loins by a ball which appeared to have come from a window at the side. A faith ful servant who followed him unknown to his master, endeavoured to catch him in his arms, but was himself wounded in the side. Let us, however, render justice to every one; the insurgents ran to his assistance, and carried him to the Hospital of the Quinze Yingts, and placed a guard over him. They procured the signatures of all present to attest that be was not shot by the persons to whom he had first spoken, satnadtetdh." appeared s v o e f r y tt a e n e x y i o e u n s t t s o o o h n a se s • p r t e h a i s d through point ce st r: they Faubourg, and produced an extraordinary sensation. In an hour afterwards the firing ceased not to recom mence. The Christian calmness and serenity which in- duced and sustained the conduct of the 'Archbishop never left him. On the Vicar-General, M. Jacquemet, rejoining him, the Archbishop begged him, as a friend, to tell him what he thought of his condition. Is my wound serious ?' „.Itl is very much so." Is my life in danger?' It is.' Well, then,' replied the Arch bishop, let God be praised, and may ho accept the sa crifice which I again offer him for the salvation of this misguided people. May my death expiate the sins which I have committed during my episcopacy. He after wards confessed, and received the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, preserving throughout his severe sufferings all his presence of mind, and expressing a satisfaction full of simplicity and grandeur at having accomplished what he called his duty. 'Life is so short,' he often repeated, and the term which still remained to me could have been but short ; I have sacrificed little for God, for the meu created in hia image, and repurchased with his blood.' On Monday morning he was carried to his palace, and as he passed through the streets the people all fell on their knees with a feeling of venera • Lion. He was escorted to his residence by a party of the Garde Mobile. The countenance of one of those gal lant youths particularly struck him as he had seen him fighting, and after having received a wound in the head wrest a sabre from the hand of his assailant. He beckoned him to approach, and having still strength enough to raise his arms, he detached a small crucifix which he wore suspended round his neck, and gave it to the young hero, saying—' Never part with this cross—place it near your heart, it will bring you happiness.' The young man, whose name is Francois Delavrignere, of the 7th company of the 4th batta lion, joined his hands in an attitude of prayer, and swore to preserve for ever the precious souvenir of the vene rable dying prelate. The pain he suffers is still very severe; the ball has not been extracted, and his medical attendants have little hopes of his life." We learn that at one o'clock this morning the Right Rev. Prelate still retained possession of his faculties, and bore his sufferings with a fortitude which virtue and Christianity alone can bestow, but no hope remained of his surviving beyond a few hours. In addition to the atrocities committed by the in surgents, already described, it is stated that on a barricade in the Faubourg St. Antoine the body of a Garde Republicaine in uniform was impaled, and the bowels taken out. In the Pantheon the bodies of several Gerdes Mobiles were found hanging by the wrists and pierced by sw or d and bayonet stabs. Not only were jagged bullets used, but others were made with fragments of copper and cast-iron. In the Clos St. Lazare an officer of infantry, taken prisoner by the insurgents, had his hands cut off, and he died slowly on the ground from these frighful wounds. The feet of a dragoon were cut off, and he was replaced dying on his horse. The wound of General CHARBONNEL is not so dangerous as was at first supposed. M. DORNES, the Representative, and Lieut.-Colonel MICHEL, of the artillery of the National Guard, are both as well as can be expected after the severe wounds they have received, and are considered to be out of danger. General DAmEsNn is i n a very alarming state. General DUVIVIER'S wound is more serious than had been supposed, but is not dangerous. The Constitutionnel asserts t h at t h e words " Pillage Violation !" were inscribed on seve ral of the insur gents' flags. 'We rather doubt this, particularly as the words " Mort aux Voleurs !" was found in- scribed on the walls of severa l of the houses of which mthoeytto had d on t g the insurgentsakehpossession.lhis is a f avour i te on all occasion s though by no means genera ll y carrkd by the m into practice. At the barrier Rochechouart the insurgents had, it is asserted, a quantity of vitriol, with a fire-engine, to throw it into the faces of their assailants. M. Emux DE GIRARDIN is confined at the C on . ciergerie, and placed in secret confinement. Even Mme. de GIBABDIN cou l d not obtain permission to visit him. An application for his being l e t out on bail has been made and refused. The Paris Bourse opened yesterday pro forma, but no business w as done. The MOniteur publishes the speech of Cou n t MOLSE, the Minister of Denmark at the Court of Paris to the late Executive Government, on pre. in the smiting his credentials. He professes in it, name of the KING, the most friendly disposi tions towards France, and the desire to k uep up the old relations of alliance and sympathy. The I reply to the address of COUnt MOLKE was made by M. DE LAMARTINE. He declares in it that the Re public will have for Denmark the same sentiments as those shown by the old Government, and that " the form which nations give to their governments do not in any degree change their permanent rela tions of friendship with other nations." The accounts from Lyons by this day's post are very satisfastory. Not only was the capital tranquil, but there was so little apprehension of an outbreak, that some of the National Guards and troops of the line were holding themselves in readiness to march at the first orders to the relief of Paris. We learn from Marseilles, the 24th, that the insur rection, which commenced on the 22d, was effectually put down by the National Guards and the troops of the line on the 23d. After many vain attempts to bring the insurgents to reason, several pieces of cannon were brought to play upon the barricades, which were successively carried. The loss of life on the side of the friends of order in the second day's combat appears not to have been so great as might have been expected, considering the resistance made, particularly in the houses of which the insurgents had taken possession, and from which they fired upon the troops. The letters and journals of the 24th do not, however, give any return of the killed. After the taking of the barricades the insurgents were at tacked with great vigour in the houses, and 800 arrests are said to have been made. Among them were several women armed with poniards. The Moniteur Algerien of the 21st has the follow ing :—" The Governor-General has received a telegraphic dispatch announcing his being elected a representative, and authorising him to go and take part in the labours of the National As sembly. This has been confirmed by the follow. ing The Minister of War to the Governor- General of Algeria. You are nominated a represen tative of the people. General MAREY is promoted to be General of Division. The . Government wishes you to retain your post. Nevertheless, if it be your intention to come to Paris, you will place command ad interim in the hands of General MARRY." HUNGARY. The Hungarian Ministry has determined to march 30,000 men against the Croatians. AUSTRIA. The tranquillity of Vienna bad continued undis turbed up to the 22d inst. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and a Special Jury.) THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. PEARSON. This was another action by the Duke of Brunswick against the Satirist for the publication of a number of libels upon him during the two or three years which he was the publisher of the paper. The Duke has recovered verdicts for the publication of the same libels during the time other persons were the publishers. The Duke, as usual, conducted his case in person, and read a long speech to the jury, in the course of which he read nearly all the many libels that have appeared upon him in the ,satirist for years. Mr. HUNTER BROWN appeared for the defendant, and contended that as the Duke had recovered compensation from other persons for the publication of the same libels, and that the vindication of his character, if that was his object, had been as fully accomplished as it could be, it was impossible, therefore, to avoid the inference that the Duke was actuated by malignant motives, and such being the ease, he held that the smallest amount of damages would be amply sufficient. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,500/. OPENING OF THE EXTENSION OF THE SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The York -road Extension of the London and South- Western Railway was examined this afternoon by the Government Inspector, preparatory to its opening on Saturday next, and he expressed himself perfectly satis fied with the substantial and workmanlik e mann e r i n which this important, though short line, has been con structed. The Inspector was accompanied in his ex amination by Mr. Locke, and two powerful loco motives were employed in testing the safety of the various iron bridges along the line. The flight of a locomotive across the immense bridge spanning the Westminster-road, naturally excited a good deal of in terest in the neighbourhood. The construction of the 'line has been most expensive, the two miles of railway having cost no less than a million and a half of money. It has occupied about two years and a half in its con struction. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. GROUP No. 2.— LEEDS CENTRAL RAILWAY STA- TlON.—Opposition further considered. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP No. B.—The Committeeonthis group met for the last time to-day, to give their decision ou the 'following cases : EXETER AND COWLEY BRIDGE JUNCTlON.—Preamble not proved. Tow VALE RAILWAY AND Docx.—Preamble not proved. _ __ - LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (Exeter and Credi ton, Taw Vale Railway and Dock, and Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway Companies' Arrangements).—Pre amble not proved. Thus this severe contest between the Bristol and Exe ter and the South-Western Companies, which has lasted forseveral weeks, terminated in the defeat of both parties. ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' majority was resumed, and in the course of the day the petitioners succeeded in striking off five additional votes. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were agreed to:— Brighton Gas Light and Coke Company. Norfolk Railway (Amendment of Acts and Extension of time for commencing Reedham and Diss Branches). REPORTS. The followi ng reports were considered : — Newport and Pontypool Railway Act Amendment. West of England and South Wales Land Draining Company Incorporation. Amendments were proposed and agreed to in both Bills. TIRD READING. The Mersey Na vigation (Amendment of Acts) Bill was read a third time. THE EXTENSION OF THE SUFFRAGE. Mr. LUSHINGTUN presented a petition from Man chester in favour of Mr. Hume's motion, and praying for a reduction of the expenditure. Mr. BROTHER TON presented a petition from Sal ford, stating that the persons who had signed it perfectly agreed with the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern ment, that universal suffrage was preferable to house hold suffrage, and praying for universal suffrage and vote by ballot. Mr. BROWN presented petitions from Manchester and another place to the same effect. SALE OF SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS ON THE SABBATH. Mr. B. HUGHES presented a petition from Car narvon against the sale of spirituous liquors on the Sabbath. _ MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. Mr. WAWN presented a petition from South Shields against the Merchant Seamen's Bill. ST. ALBAN'S. Mr. COBDEN moved that a petition he had presented, complaining of abuses at the last election for St. Alban's, be printed with the votes, which was agreed to. . SCOTCH MARRIAGES. An HoN. GENTLEMAN presented petitions against the Scotch Marriages Bitl and the Registration Bill. NAVIGATION -LAW S. Mr. BERRIES presented a petition agreed to at a public meeting in Glasgow, against any repeal of these laws. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. Mr. BAINES presented a petition from the Trinity . House against this Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE postponed a motion which he had on the paper, till the 23d of July, with respect to Sir T. Claridge. SPAI. Mr. BANKES postponed his N motion with respect to Spain until Tuesday next. An I - lox. MEMBER SLIGO. gave notice that he should shortly move that th e matters which had transpired in relation to the Members elected for this borough at the last election be referred to a Committee of Privileges. Mr. EWART postponed his motion, which was on the pap er f or yesterday, until the next Supply night. DROPPED NOTICES. Mr. STAFFORD, alluding to the dropped notices on the paper for yesterday, inquired whether it was com petent for the Member for Portarlington to proceed at Mee. or not, with his notice of motion with respect to the borough of Sligo? The Hon. Gentleman the Mem ber for Montrose had proposed and carried a motion, making it necessary that a day's notice should be given before a dropped notice could be proceeded with. The SPEAKER replied that all motions for new writs were matters of privilege, and as such had prece dence of other motions; but yet notice must be given. With regard to dropped notices that did not contain any debatable matter, they could be moved for at the time they were read; but they could not before other notices on the same paper. JOHN MITCHEL.—THE SHEARWATER. Sir G. GREY--I am anxious to make a brief state ment to the House, in justice to some naval officers, who feel themselves aggrieved by statements affecting them which have appeared in the public papers, and 'which have been made the subject of a question in this House. I refer to the officers of her Majesty's ship the Shearwater. The House will recollect that a question was put to me some time since by the Hon. and Gallant Officer opposite, the Member for Armagh, founded on a statement in the newspapers, that the pri soner Mitchel, who was conveyed in that ship to Spike Island, had been invited to breakfast by the officers of that ship. At that time I had no information on the subject beyond what was contained in the public papers and in a private letter to the same efftct. Since that time, however, Admiral Mackay, who was in command at Cork, has called for a detailed report on the subject from Lieut. Tumour, the commanding officer of the Shearwater, and his explanation is perfectly satisfactory, and com pletely exonerates the officers of that ship from the slightest imputation. It appears that the prisoner was placed aboard under the • charge of two police officers, and the chart-room was assigned b ti Lieutenant Tumour for their use during the passage. The steward was directed to furnish the pri soner and the police-officers with their meals in that room, and this was done, with the exception of their breakfast, on the very morning on which they came on board ; in consequence of the chart-room being occupied by the bed of the police-officers, the break fast was provided in the gun , room, but not until after the officers of the ship had themselves breakfasted. Lieutenant Tumour and the officers, though they felt aggrieved by the statement which had appeared in the papers, in this respect had very properly abstained, in obedience to general instructions in such cases, from justifying themselves by any statement made through the public papers, and although I otherwise should have felt it unnecessary to refer again to the case and feel that under these circumstances it is due to the officers of the Shearwater, that I should give this ex planation of the real facts of the case, which completely exonerate them from the slightest blame.—(Hear.) DERBY " SWEEPS"—IMPORTANT STATE MENTS. Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS said, about ten weeks ago he called the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet to certain advertisements which had been inserted in the newspapers for the purpose, of raising sweeps for the "Derby." He wished now to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, believing hardly any proceedings causes more demoralization and mischief, first—whether such advertisements or practices were illegal ; according to his view of the law, and the law officers of the Crown; secondly, if they were illegal, whether the Government was prepared to take any measure to prevent or punish such practices in the future ? Sir G. GREY said that in consequence of the atten tion that had lately been given to this subject he had made inquiry i n t o t h e state of the law, and he believed that by a decisio n o f t h e Court of Queen's Be nchin an 1845, it had been held that a lottery for the Derla, illegal lottery, and it appeared clea y was such advertisements as had been alluded to r by that the Hon. Baronet were prohibited, under the statutes of thet 42d of George IL and the 6th and 7th of W ta . , chap. 56. In consequence of these circumstances, some communications had t a ke n place between himself and the Board of Stamps and Taxes, in which it had been stated by the Board that it was their intention to submit certain advertisements to the consideration of the Home office. Those advertisements had not yet been received by hiin ; when they were, he could assure the Hon. Baronet he should give his best attention to them. RAIL WAY COMMISSION. Mr. BANKES said that he had a notice on the paper for next Tuesday of a motion for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Railway Commission Act. It was his in tention, with reference to that motion, to put a question to the Government on Friday next, the tendency of which would be to know whether it was the intention of the Government to oppose that motion. NO HOUSE YESTERDAY. Mr. EWART, after complaining that no House had been formed yesterday, gave notice of his intention to bring forward the motion which stood on the paper yes terday on the first night of a Committee of Supply. Sir WM. MOLES WORTH gave notice of his inten. tion to bring forward the motion which he was prevented doing yesterday, in consequenc e o f t h ere b e i ng no House, on the 25th oduly. Mr. COBDEN said it was notorious to all that when no House was made it was the fault of the Government, and the Government alone.—(Oh, ob.) There was not a single member of the Government on the Treasury benches yesterday. Sir GEORGE GREY thought the assertion of the Honourable Member was totally uncalled for and unworthy of him. (Hear, hear.) There were, as he understood, no less than six Members connected with the Government present yesterday, and if the Hon. Member was desirous of knowing what was the reason that he (Sir G. Grey) was not present, he begged to in form him that he was attending a Council at Buckingham Palace.—(Hear.) He thought it was the duty of Hon. Members who had motions on the paper to take care and make a House.—(clear, hear.) Sir W. MOLESWORTH had done all in his power to make a House, but several gentlemen who had pro mised him to come down had not performed their pro mute.—(Hear, hear.) He made no charge against the Government.—(Hear, hear.) After some further dis cussion, the matter dropped. SLIGO ELECTION. On the motion of Colonel DUNNE the evidence taken before the Slgo Election Committee was ordered to be printed. _ ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. On the motion that the House should resolve itself into Committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Mr. GORING opposed the motion. He could see no object that would be obtained by the Bill, inasmuch as the Acts which it sought to repeal were in fact obso lete, and virtually rethaled. The II mourable Mem ber alluded to the various anathemas which had been issued by the Pope egsinst the Protestants of this country, and which were unrepealed, and stated that the Pope still asserted the powers which were conferred upon him by the Church, and would exercise them if he had the power which the Hon. Mem ber for Youghal endeavoured to obtain for him by the present Bill. The it,He whichot e n r . M a en hemd b se e an r tdialsor containedely opposedreferred doctrinest t o o the t h e o " f C a a n th im ol p ic ro ß pe re r vi c a h r a y r , Protestant feeling in this country. In that book the doctrine inculcated by St. Alphonsus Liguori was ap proved of, that servants should be at liberty to steal if they were not paid sufficiently well by their masters. The Roman Catholic religion had lately been declared to be the religion of the state in Sicily to the exclusion of all others ; the King was obliged to profess it, and should he change his religion he was to be considered as having forfeited his throne. What security, therefore, had they that this would not be the case in Ireland, supposing the Roman Catholics were to get the Bill passed? He had attended to all the debates on the subject, and had heard a good deal about many grievances which were inflicted upon Catholics by certain obsolete statutes, but he had never discovered any real case of hardship, or any relief which the repeal of those statutes would give to their Roman Catholic fellow -countrymen. An argument had been brought forward, that if the Bill were passed there would be an end put to religious discussions in that House, but could they suppose that the zeal and energy of the Jesuit order would be relaxed, and that the high spirit of the Noble Lord (Lord Arundel and Surrey) would be satisfied by the all ? On the con trary, he considered that the Noble Lord would continue his agitation until all the boons had been granted by the House. He considered that the conduct of the Roman Catholics in Ireland had been such as not to entitle them to any such relief as was proposed to be given to them by the Honourable Member, and he said so on the authority of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), who had stated that the Roman Catholics had not been excluded from the jury upon the trial of John Mitchel because they professed the Roman Catho lic religion, but because they sympathised with the acts and views of the criminal. He drew the inference from that circumstance that the Roman Catholics were disaffected in Ireland. If the Bill were passed it would be viewed as an insult upon the loyal Protestants of Ireland, from whom they could only look for assistance during the periods of disturbance and rebellion, which he must say had been encouraged in that country by the truckling legis lation of the Noble Lord (John Russell). On these grounds he moved that the Committee on the Bill be postponed until that day fortnight. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY supported the amendment. Sir GEORGE GREY said, when they got. into Com mittee he would readily state the course Government intended to take in reference to this clause. He had, however, every reason to believe that before they reached the clause his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General would be in his place, ready to sup port it; and he, therefore, trusted the House would ne gative the amendment for adjourning the Committee for a fortnight. Mr. FORBES said he was opposed to the Bill alto gether, and he certainly should vote for the amendment. Sufficient concessions had already been made to the Roman Catholics, and if this Bill were passed a great , body of the most loyal people of this country would have cause to complain of the conduct of the House. Me. Sergeant TALFOURD said the topics which were urged against the Speaker leaving the chair had already been most fairly discussed and decided upon, and it was really too bad to raise another discussion upon the principle of the Bill. It was unfair to obstruct the progress of the Bill at this stage, and he re gretted that the Hon. Gentlemen opposite had not deferred their opposition till they had got into Com mittee. He for one was opposed to many parts of the Bill as it stood, but he felt it would be an unbecoming course for him to pursue had he followed the example of Honourable Gentlemen opposite. He should, however, strenuously oppose these objectionable parts of the Bill in Committee; and had Honourable Gentlemen opposite adopted the same plan, it would have been more honour. able to themselves and more ca l culated to a id the o bj ect they had in view, of modifying, if not throwing out the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE contended that the principle of the measure had not been efficiently discussed, while no member of her Majesty's Government had ever yet given an explicit explanation of their views in reference to many clauses of the Bill, and he insisted that those with whom he acted were perfectly justified in retarding the pro gress of the measure by every means in their power. The recent policy of the Pope of Rome in reference to Foreign Powers, fully demonstrated that he was anxious to ol tain an ascendancy over those Powers, and he warned N.. the House to be cautious how they increased the pri vileges of those who acknowledged the supremacy of the Pope. It was quite clear from the recent edicts of the Pope, that he would afford no protection to those sove reigns who did not acknowledge his own right to be the representive of Christ, and the spiritual head of all nations in the world, and if the House, by passing this Bill, increased the power of those who upheld that doctrine, they might depend upon it that sooner or later it would lead to disastrous colisions between the two parties. Why the Pope openly told all who adopted the Catholic faith that they owed no allegiance to that authority which denied his own supreme spiritual power ; and were they, on the lace of this startling evidence„to de liberately . sit quiet and allow a Bill to pass into a law which should facilitate the preaching of such dangerous doctrines? Certainly not, and with the experience:they had i❑ the fact that every Catholic Sovereign in Europe had felt himself at one time or other compelled to resist the aggressive encroachments of the Pope of Rome, he had no hesitation in telling the House that if they passed this Bill they would be jeopardizing the Crown and institutions of the State.—(Hear, hear.) lie wished to know whether the Government considered it consistent with their duty to their Sovereign, whom they had sworn to serve, to recognise, as they did, any bulls which emanated from a foreign Power which had never denied its hostility to the Crown and established religion of this country. He asked this question of her Majesty's Government, whether the amendment of the Attornoy-General would guard against that, and prevent interference in the appointment to benefices? Sir G. GREY said the lion. Gentleman asked him a question which he must know it was impossible for him to answer in that stage of the Bill. He should be happy to give the most ample explanations in Committee.— (Divide, divide.) Colonel CONOLLY opposed the going into Commit tee, because he believed that the Catholics were not sub jected to any arbitrary restrictions in the exercise of their religion. The House then divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee Against it Majority. —26 The House then went into Committee. Mr. NEWDEGATE repeated the question he had asked before the division. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his amendment would render the law more stringent than it was before. The Pope would, he apprehended, have no ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He had no jurisdiction in law in this king dom, and he could not acquire it by this Bill. But if parties thought proper to obtain directions from him, that was a matter which, perhaps, no law could prevent. After a few words from Sir R. H. INGLIS, /dr. NEWDEGATE wished to say that a bull w an authoritative document, and whether the Govern ment in allowing such bulls did not virtually place itself in a subsiduary and corroborative part. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL repeated that the Pope had no authority whatever in this country. The Pope might have authority over the consciences of some people in this country, but it was a fallacy to say that in the law he had any spiritual power. The Hon. Gentleman then proposed a verbal amendment in one of the early clauses of the BilL Mr. NAPIER objected to the amendment, contending that if it was adopted, it would encourage the issuing of bulls from the Papal see, and not, as had been stated by the Learned Attorney-General, act more stringently in preventing their being issued. Mr. C. ANSTEY said his only object in bringing in the Bill was to have granted to his Roman Catholic brethren the full measure of constitutional liberty which was enjoyed by the Protestants of this country. The clause would have the effect of enabling Roman Catholics to en joy that freedom of communication among them selves and with the head of their Church which already, in the abstract, was afforded to them by the existing law s; and, ab ove all, would take away from our statute-book several obsolete provisions, which, if they had done nothing more, had afforded stock in trade to agitators. Mr. NEWIEGATE said the Attorney-General's duties appeared to be most onerous and important, for after making a statement to the House, he had not waited to hear the discussion upon the clause, and the House was now left, in doubt as to its effect. He trusted that the House would not permit any such introduction of a foreign power into this country, as was sanctioned by the amendment. If the Bill was passed as amended, it would permit the exercise of bulls in this country which were issued by the see of Rome. Sir G. GREY said the amendment would have the effect of limiting the introduction of bulls, as it was originally proposed by his Learned Friend the Attorney- General. After a few words from Mr. Henley, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Anstey, and Sir H. Willoughby, Mr. WALPOLE said he was only opposed to such repeal of the statutes as would be detrimental to the Protestant institutions of the country, and he would at once give his consent to the abolition of those absolete enactments which had been referred to in the course of the discussion. He would therefore support the amendment introduced by the Government, because though it sanc tioned the admission of bulls, it would exclude those which were decidedly objectionable. Mr. NEWDEGATE had great respect for the opinion of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Walpole), but be considered that it was advisable to take the opinion of the House upon the matter. After some discussion of a desultory nature, Mr. HENLEY moved that the Chairman do report progress and ask leave to sit again. Sir G. GREY having deprecated the waste of time that had already taken place, The House then divided on the motion, when there appeare!:— - For reporting progress Against it 110 Majority against reporting progress —4 On our re-admission to the gallery we found, The CHAIRMAN putting the question on the amend ment proposed by the Attorney• General, which, after a short discussion, the House divided upon, K hen there appeared— For the amendment ll3 Against it . Mr. BERNAL gave his casting vote in favour of the amendment, and the words proposed by the Attorney.. General were consequently added to the clause. Sir R. H. INGLIS put it to the House, after what had taken place, whether they would proceed further with the Bill that day. He would move that the Chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again. A short discussion then took place, in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Henley took part, after which the House divided, when here appeared— For reporting progress .. llO Against it Majority against it The clause was then agreed to. Sir R. H. INGLIS again urged upon the Committee the expediency of reporting progress in the existing state of things. Mr. JOHN STUART supported the suggestion. Lord HARRY VANE trusted the suggestion would not be adopted, particularly as Wednesday was the only day open to the Bill of an independent Member. It was too bad for Hon. Members to come down at four o'clock, to make speeches without having heard any of the previ ous discussion, and hoped in future when these important measures came forward, Hon. Members who proposed to take part in the debate upon them would take care to be in their places a little earlier than two hours before the adjournment of the House. After few words from Mr. HUDSON, who com plained of the latter observation of the Noble Lord, Sir G. GREY thought at this late period of the day it would be better to report progress. Mr. C. ANSTEY had no objection to do so if the Right Honourable Baronet would undertake to devote part of a Government night for the further progress of this Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY could not give such an under taking without consulting his colleagues. Mr. lIUME felt that, in the present state of the House, it was useless to think of proceeding further with the Bill to-day. After sotne further discussion, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY proposed that the following provisoes should be added to the clause last agreed to:— Page 3, line 10, after the words " Roman Catholics," insert (the 13 Eliz. cap. 2) provided always, and be it declared, that nothing in this enactment relating to an Act passed in the first year of Queen Elizabeth, chapter 1, 1 . shall ;authorise or render it lawful for any person or persons to affirm, hold, stand with, set forth, maintain, or defend the authority, pre-eminence, power, or jurisdiction, spiritual or ecclesiastical, of any foreign prince, prelate, person, state, or potentate, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, nor shall the same extend further than to the repeal of the parti cular penalties and punishmentstherein referrcd to, but in all other respects the law shall continue the same as if this enactment had not been made. Provided always and be it declared, that nothing in this enactment contained, relating to an Act 13 Eliz , cap. 2, shall authorise or ren der it lawful for any person or persons to import, bring in, or put in exe cu ti on w ithi n thi s rea l m , any bull, writing, or instrument of the See of Rome; and that in all respects, save as to the penalties or punishments im posed by the said Act, the law shall continue the same as if this enactment had not been made. _ _ Mr. C. ANSTEY had no objection to the insertion of the provisions, if the Hon. Gentleman would consent to strike out the words " therein referred to" in the first paragraph, and to insert in their stead the words con sequent thereon," and to strike out the words " by the said Act," in the second paragraph, and to substitute the word " therein." Sir H. WILLOUGHBY i declined t o ma k e the altera tion, on the ground, that f the proviso was se worded, the common law as it well wo u a l s d t h h a e v s e ta th tu e to e r ff Y c p t e o n f al r t e ie p s 7 . aling After some discussion, Sir G. GREY expressed himself adverse to the ad mission of the propused provision. It was agreed that the Chairman should report pro gress, and ask leave to sit again. The House having resumed, the clause was reported accordingly. The r e maining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Six o'clock. MR.
