, , tbey would . have been still greater were it not for one or ' two circumstances. In the first place, only eight days had elapsed since the abject of that assembly was announced to the people of Shropshire, so that many of the contribu tions were not as yet come in, especially from one portion of the inhabitants whose modesty held them back until they saw how that meeting would receive and support the efforts of their superiors in rank and opulence. The archdeaconry of Salop was not the whole county—D3 ex tent was only the three-eighths of it ; conser , ;,:, en tly that circumstance o p era t e d aga i nst them in more ways than one, and particul ar ly as t h e y could not call together the inhabitants so easily as in an archdeaconry which was co extensive with its county. Another circumstance that prevented many contributions from his archdeaconry was that the inhabitants looked to what support a like so ciety would receive in Hereford. He begged to mention that lie counted on the support of Lord Kenyon, and on that of his honourable brother.—( Hear.) Another cir cumstance that would subtract from the number of their friend; was, that they would not find on their list the name of his Grace the Dtike of Sutherland, since his Grace was pledged to building and endowing a church in the large mining districts with which he was connected. The same might.be said of t,ie Countess of Bridgewater, as that ex cellent noblewoman was similarly pledged. It was his belief, from what he saw in Salop, that all those parties intended to come forward and assist them. Influential gentlemen said they would take upon themselves, their neighbours, and their country to aid you in those parts in the cause of the Church of England ; that they respected their ministers, and would come forward with their sup port. In twelve or fourteen large places there was not cb:arch accommodation for one-fourth of the population ; and the general evil was aggravated because large churches were too far distant from the abodes of the inhabitants ; and in the next place it was aggravated by a want of sit tings for the poor. He had one word to say as to the general object of the meeting : however anxious the clergy might be about it, it chiefly concerned the lay inhabitants of those districts. The clergy did not step forward on be half of the clergy—no such thing ; they felt deeply in the cause, Lint personally it was not theirs. They came for ward in behalf of the general Church Establienment, as the grand and prime minister of God for the salvation of their souls, and which conferred benefits no zeal of theirs could repay, as well as in behalf of those artisans who sup plied them with the means of competency by their labour : it was in behalf of those, and of the welfare of their be loved country, that the clergy made the present appeal. It was necessary that church accommodation should keep pace with the increase of population, and particularly where dense masses were concentrated, since there the excitements to sin and crime were the most abun dant. For want oi this, accommodation it was that they saw so much seces3ion from the national faith, and so many departures from God end honesty. It was said by some respecting the build.; og of new churches, that the. clergy themselves might . ouild them by a proper distribution of their incomes. - c'ublic documents showed the nature 'and extent of those incomes.. The clergy, on an average, had 2501. per annum, to support themselves and their families. Could they, out of such an income, afFord to build churches ?--.(Cheers and laughter.) Notwithstanding the clergy did their share towards erecting churches ; and he ventured to predict that on the present occasion the clergy would contribute their share. He was not one to boast of what the clergy had done ; lie would not say they had done more than their share ; but he would put it to the assem bly, knowing their circumstance s , had they done less than their share ? For the sake, then, of Christianity—for its sacred Founder's sake—ha asked them to furnish the clergy with better means to discharge their sacred functiors efficiently. The Earl of BRADFORD proposed the third resolution, to the effect —" That with a view of rendering the churches more accommodating to the extending population of the J.locese, a Society be established for the Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, and its operations directed to pro vide additional sittings and chapels, and to the building of new churches ; and that a fund be raised to be applied to local objects—the building of churches, and the consecrat ing of them and burial grounds." The Archdeacon of STAFFORD (the Rev. Mr. Hodson) second'A the resolution. He would state that there were in the kingdom upwards of 2,000 livings under 1001. a year, and 3,000 livings somewhat less than 150/. per annum. Though there might be some difficulty in the mode of the distribution of Church revenues, it was clear that there would be nothing left for the building of new churches. In fact, there could not be more than enough for the aug mentation of small livings. He observed that the projec tors of this Society did net wish to interfere with the Building Society of London, but they hoped for the aid of that excellent institution, wherever its laws and regulations would admit of it. He then adverted to the small sum that would be required to erect places of worship, and said he had heard sonic persons assert that the bishops received for the consecration of a church so much as 500/. Why, the ancient and customary fee to the bishop for eonseel•a tion was 61. 13s. 4d. ; and more than that sum he evi;endezi in the journeys lie was obliged to perform to the 'places to be consecrated. Lord Viscount CLIFFORD proposed the r .ifth resolution. He should be glad to see more churches, and at the same time to see the labours of the clergy rnore equally distri buted. For his own part, he consi o .ered that the increase of what was commonly called education would do no good, unless the receivers of it were and morally taught the way they should go. He ::iad lately read a book written about France, and. lie (lid "not mean in any way to disparage the author of it (we s'appose the allusion was to " France, &c.," by the new I% _":iernher for Mary-le-bonne), and in it he saw some statist:. ca l tables, which went to show that the amount of cri' ne increased in France according as educa tion increased. That was the completest answer that some further r..nd ulterior instruction should be provided for the people.—{Loud cheers.) Lord Bacon had said that " knowledge was power ;" now if knowledge was power, ought it not to be placed in the hands of those who were taught to make use of it ? He was not one of those who had anything to say against education, but he thought that the parochial clergy ought to have the power of directing that education, or of following it up, at least among the lower classes. Proper books and tracts ought to be disseminated among those classes, and such a task most naturally devolved on the parochial clergy. If they wished to prevent the progress of error they must do it by increasing the number of churches. The progress of Dissent bad made rapid strides in the following way Many respectable persons had found a difficulty to find a sitting in their own parishes in the Established Churches to which they belonged, but they found the doors of Dissent ing Meetings open to them, and found every accommoda tion therein. At first they were not indisposed against the Established Church, but they took their children with them, and consequently they might be said to be brought up in the doctrines of the Dissenters, and taught to dislike what they of the Established Church had been taught to venerate. If the dem:l,nd for more room in the churches was not supported : the number of Dissenters would not be diminished, but on the contrary, it would be daily in creased ; and for his own part he contemplated great alarm at the effects that their increase would produce, under ex isting circumstances. But he hoped better things from what he witnessed that day ; and though the Church was in a crisis, and in (longer, such as it was in at the time of the French Revoletion, he hoped that it would be saved, as it was then, by the interference of Divine Providence. From the zeal manifested by the large and influential assembly before him, he bad no doubt but there still re mained in the country a large body of respectable persons desirous of promoting the interests of the Established Church, and the glory of God throughout the nation. The Noble Viscount concluded by moving a resolution, which related to the way of electing a committee of management for the next year. Sir J. WROTTESLF.Y, M.P., seconded the resolution of the Noble Lord, and was glad that it was not one that required much discussion. He considered that very great thanks were due to the present committee for calling the present important meeting : and as they were to form part of the commTdee for next year, they must be con sidered fit and proper persons. Many years ago the country made rapid strides towards dissent, in conse„ quence of the increase of population ; and he was "sorry to say, that though the population continw::t to in crease, there was nothing like an average increase in re ligious instruction. Since the time. of Queen Anne, little provision bad been made hy the State for the building of churches or the promotion of religious wor ship and knowledge. The poorer classes would have been worse off had not the divine founder of their re ligion instilled it into the minds of some to make some provision for their religious instruction. He would only now state, that it was impossible that there would not be a strong feeling that something on the subject must be done next session of Parliament, and he hoped, in deed he felt perfectly confident, that the right reverend bench would show their zeal, and that they would pro pose such measure,: of Church reform as both Houses of Parliament would joyfully put into execution.— (Cheers.) There was a strong feeling of the necessity of Church Reform, and the country would support anything that emanated from the right reverend bench, provided, as he knew they would, whilst aiding, at least not neglecting particular interests, they gave way in deference to the ge neral interests of the country.--(Cheers.) He trusted that, to promote the present object, everybody would come for ward with their donations : even the widow's mite would be most acceptable—since it would be a proof that they had the co-operafen of those for whose benefit, chiefly, they were assembled. (The Hon. Baronet sat down amid loud cheers.) The resolution rya,: then put and carried. Mr. S. DUGDALE, M.P., rose amid vehement cheering ~~ ~~~ ~- •:~ t ~• to propose the sth resolution. The meeting would give ' him credit for always speaking the truth.—(Loud cheers, and cries of yes, yes.) Well , then , he would now ;peak the truth, and assure thep that he felt , * most sincere at tachment towards the pieir_ a ' , - pie* taf Flip ,.E. • land (Cheers 1 tv ready i to ne.oikla that he was most —. evt'iy itistitutlinri the object of which wa s her are prohperity.—( Cheers.) He begged t o say t h at et he considered that infant institution would greatly tend to the promotion, of that object...-( Hear, heat.) --Every body must allow that there Was a want of accom modation for the lower classes in the Churches .throughout the country ; and therefore the exertions of all who belonged to, or wished well, to the Established Church, were, at the present -conjuncture, most peculiarly needed.— (Hear, hear.) . Since the time of the Reformation the ene mies of the Church were at no period more on the alert than on the present, and consequentli it behoved its friends. to be more than ordinarily vigilant, zealous, and practically active.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to propose the resolu tion confided to him, viz.—" That Messrs. Palmer and Green be requested to undertake the office of treasurers to the Society." But before he sat down he wished to state that his Honourable Colleague (Sir Eardley Wilmot) re queited him to state to the meeting, his deep regret that absence from that part of the country with his family pre vented his attendance ; but that -the Society had his warmest wishes. The Honourable Member, after express ing his satisfaction that Birmingham alone bad nearly given in donations to further the objects of the Society 10,0001., and had besides subscribed annually 6001., sat clown amid great cheering. The Archdeacon of COVENTRY, the Rev. Mr. SPOONER, in seconding the resolution, said that thOugh 10,0001. might seem a very large sum, it was still . exceedingly inadequate to the promotion of the object they• had in view. Even in Shropshire they wanted a great deal of money, though their spiritual wants were better provided for. But in that diocese how much more (lid they want, since it was stated that not more than one-fifth of the,poptilation of Warwick shire was supplied with church room. Why, nearly all the sum already subscribed would be absorbed in Birmingham alone. He hoped that the appeal now made would pro duce still larger donations, and he regretted that their own county of Warwick had not com . e . forward in the same de gree as.others ; but that lack, of zeal was, perhaps, to be attributed to the bustle and business and disagreeableness of the late elections, and to other unfortunate circumstances. He still felt confident that his county would follow the example of Staffordshire, and make up for its remissness by a greater spirit of liberality.—(Hear.) The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. T. HAwkES; M.P. for Dudley, proposed the next resolution, the object of which was, the choice of a secretary and vice-secretary, and the fixing the amount. of salary of the latter. The Hon. Member accompanied the resolution with no remarks. JAMES TAYLoi, Esq., seconded the resolution, and hoped that if there should be a Church reform, the working clergy would be better provided for than they now were. The resolution was agreed to. The Archdeacon of DEBBY presented himself to propose the, next resolution. It had been said, that in some places ()lily one-fifth of the population were provided with church rdom, and that in others the number accommodated was ag low as 1-7th of the inhabitants. He believed it, for he ktt4w ,of many places in which 4-sths of the parishioners were without church accommodation. He begged to ask, who those 4-sths and 6-7ths that were not accom niodated consisted of? Why, exactly of the persons that tiranted:accOmModation most, who had least 'means of religious instruction, and who, from want of it, were most prone.to,fall:into evil. In speAing before on this subject he said that they did net want to put their sickle into other men's harvests, but to have recourse to the grain stored up in their own tbarns. In common with his bre thren, he felt peculiarly "ttnxiouv for the-success of this in stitution, and he experienced the greatest pleasure in pro posing the present resOlutiOn, as he thought it would be a means of promoting similar institutions in other parts of the kingdom..--(Hear.) The resolution lie had to propose was, that the proceedings:of the day, and a list of the dona tions, should be published ; in such manner as the committee should direct. W. EVAYS, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. _ - The HIGH BAILIFF kit the honour of being allowed to express his earnest wishes for the prosperity of-the Society, and still more felt he the honour of proposing a vote of thanks to the Right Reveiend Prelate who had presided that day. The Rev. W. Wooal seconded. file resolution, whieh was then carried amid the lowl'est acclamations. The Bishop of LICIIriELD and COVENTRY briefly re turned thanks, after NO-licit-the assembly separated. Several large s':'uscriptions were added to the list, and a plentiful collection was made•,.if we might. judge from the loaded st..;te of the plates held by the fair receivers at the door'', of the Assembly-room. EMIGRATION. The following extract of .a letter to a gentleman in London, from a Mr. Walton, Editor of the Farmer's Advocate, a newspaper published at Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada, may be in teresting to those who have friends settled in that part of the country : " Sherbrooke, 28th Oct., 1834. " Our newspaper has been established little more than three months, and has already a circulation of One Thou sand, although it has, to contend with violent opposition. Besides publishing The Advocate we are engaged in pub lishing School Books, &c. We have at present in prepa ration by a competent individual, a small Geography and History of Lower Canada for schools. " I have been in the Eastern Townships now about two years, and am much better pleased with the country than I anticipated. It is to me surprising that emigrant farmers from the mother country, have not found their way into this part of the province, which for the growing of grain and grazing is certainly unsurpassed, if equalled, by any portion of the Canadas ; and in point of health has every advantage over the upper province. You ask -in your last, if the eastern townships have again escaped the ravages of the cholera? I answer, with pleasure, yes. Whilst al most every village in the upper province has been more or less severely visited with that dreadful scourge, not a solitary case of that, or any other epidemic or contagious disease, has, as far as I can learn, occurred during the season in the townships. In this village there has not a death occurred for the last two years, except a stranger, who was a few weeks since by being thrown from his waggo 7 , ; and we have a population of about 500. Whilst o. r cities and the upper province have been filled with niourning and lamenta tion, the voice of health and ; gladness has been heard throughout our . borders. , The labours of the husbandman have been crowned with abundant success, and with the exception of here and there an agitator, who have found out how miserable we are, we are enjoying the bounties of Providence in peace and contentment. Good judges say that double the quan tity of wheat has been grown the present than any preced ing season. All kinds of grain have come in well, even In dian corn, which has failed for two seasons, is a full crop, although but little was planted. The increased quantity of grain the present season is owing partly to the expecta tion of a large number of emigrants coming in next season. We hope this expectation may not be disappointed. " The land company have commenced operations by sur veying their lands. A Mr. Pennoycr is now surveying a route for a road, from this village in a direct co urse t o Mon treal, and if found practicable, o f which there is little doubt, it will shorten the distance as now travelled some fire or six miles. It will communicate with the Nl o '::treal road at the outlet of lake Magog. The 1 1. - ompany have also determined to complete Craip:-, -. Road, from Leeds to Dudswell next spring, and_ this road will probably be con tinued directly to f l- fis village, to communicate with the above route to I .slontreal ; so you see there is a prospect of plenty of 'work for migrants the next season. The agent of t / :,e company, Mr. Brooks, informs me that lands have ocen purchased during the summer to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, exclusive of the purchase of Mr. Goodhue's portion of this village in the spring. Our elections are now in the full tide of successful ex periment ! Mr. Gugy, Member of the late Parliament, and Mr. John Moore, formerly of the Royal Navy, are the constitutional candidates for this county. They are op posed by the editor of the Courier, and a Mr. Daniels, of Shipton. We have but little fear of the result." Advices were yesterday received at Lloyd's from Palermo to the 4th instant. They state that the English schooner John, Lauchlan, from Alexandretta and Beyrout, bound to Liverpool, with a cargo of wool, silk, pistachio nuts. and sponges, went on shore at Trefontine, a short distance from Mezzari, on the south coast of Sicily, and was so em bedded in the sand that there were no hopes of getting h er off. The Captain and crew were a ll save d, and it was expected the cargo would be got out. According to the quarantine regulations, however, the goods could not be admitted to a period of quarantine, all that would be permitted was, for the goods to be trans-shipped, to which effect applications were to be made. LONGEVITY.—The beginning of last week died at Treville Township, in Herefordshire, Ann Evans, at the ad vanced age of 107 years. She scarcely had ever a day's sick ness, and her reasoning faculties were perfect until a few hours previous to her death. Also at Tralee, a few days previous, Judith Brew, aged 110. She perfectly remembered the great frost in December, 1739, which lasted nine weeks, being then about fifteen years old. Sh e never wore either shoe or stock ing, and her general health was good until about a week before her death j ~:~. ; THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1835. FRENCH PAPERS. " A courier extraordinary, who left Madrid on the iq The following appears in the Paris journals of Tuesday fru inst., at three o'clock in the mor:- . - ocith _ digp 4atches,th; for England, passed ough Paris on the evetil was the bearer or tiv rblieWint ilitillig6De bg i3f —.OO the ninflitlig a the 18th, at an early hour, the 12 th 2 regiment of infantry, in garrison at Madrid (the Arragon regiment) revolted against the Queen's Governreentt took up its position in the principal barfackg and all tile Urban Militia Were called under arms. The rebellious regiment placed sentinels to prevent any apprpach to the barracks, the windows of which were filled with sol diers ready to Are: teVeral times the militiamen endea voured to cause the barracks to be evacuated, but without being able to succeed. The Government was apprehensive , for a moment, that other troops of the line would make common cause with the rebels ; but happily these appre hensions were not realized. The capital was extremely agitated during the whole of the 18th, and it is asserted that the Queen was forced to offer a full and entire am nesty, on condition that the rebellious troops would submit. When the courier left, on the 19th, the city was calm, but great uncertainty prevailed upon the day just beginning:" The following dispatch, dated Madrid, the 19th instant, was received yesterday, by telegraph, from Bayonne ; " Yesterday, the tranquillity of Madrid was seriously dis turbed. A part of the 2d regiment of Light Infantry re volted, with a view to establish a more Liberal system.. After a very warm resistance in the Hotel of Posts, where they entrenched themselves, the insurgents made their sub mission, and quitted * * * (Interrupted by nightfall.)" The following is the report of the Minister of War to the-Captain-General of Arragon, upon the events of the 18th of January : " In the afternoon of this day the Sub-Lieutenant, Don Jose Cadero, of the 2d regiment of light infantry of the vo lunteers of Arragon, who filled the functions of Adjutant, succeeded in seducing and persuading to leave their bar racks, by means of a stratagem, and pretending to being or dered on service, a portion of the soldiers belonging to the said corps, as well as a sergeant and an officer ; and the whole body having proceeded to the Puerta del Sol, suds denly obtained possession of the guard of that post, and de clared themselves to be in open rebellion. The excellent Captain-General of the army, Don Jose Canterac, animated by his zeal and his patriotism, presented himself immediately before these deluded men, in order to induce them to return to their duty ; but he fell a victim to his devotedness and his fidelity, having been assassinated in a cowardly manner during the tumult, whilst the deluded soldiers were defend ing themselves, and profaning the expressions which are the most dear to all Spaniards. " The Government having been informed of this dis astrous and scandalous event, immediately adopted the most energetic measures for causing its authority to be re spected, and for preventing similar disturbances, should they succeed in attaining the ends their authors contemplated. " The garrison, including some companies of the revolted regiment, and the Urban Militia, assembled with almost incredible promptitude ; and, after having occupies? f it , .. ";in, threw them selveS upon the rebels with . posts which had been pointed out to f l . at enthusiasm and that br a . very by which they are characterised t at the isame time the fire of the artillery, which was directed with vigour from the Calla Mayor, mowed down the rebels, who threw themselves, in the midst of the utmost disorder, into the of the Post-office, where, profiting by the advantage offered by that building, they endeavoured to defend themselves ; but, finding themselves surrounded, and seeing the inutility of their efforts, and the enormity of their crime, they implored the clemency of her Majesty. the Queen Regent, protesting that they had been seduced from their duty. They declared that their sole intention was to defend her Majesty and Estatuto Real ; and they solicited the favour to be allowed to proceed to the army of the north, in order that they might expiate so serious an error, by combating for the cause of legiti macy, until the very last drop of their blood should be spilled. Her Majesty, whose love for the Spaniards is well known, exercised her clemency towards those deluded men ; and this very evening they left, with the rest of the regi ment, for the village of Alcovendos, in order to carry into execution the only means they had left to recover the ho nour they had lost in so unworthy a manner ; her Majesty reservin g to herself the right to cause the authors and prin cipal instigators of the revolt to be punished, in order to satisfy public vengeance, and to destroy every hope on the part of those who might be tempted to renew similar crimi nal attempts. The inhabitants of Madrid remained per fectly tranquil, and did not take any part in this criminal revolt, the theatre of which was confined to the Puerta del Sol. " The Government has the satisfaction to announce to you, that tranquillity is perfectly established,- and that ever watchful and firm in preserving the sacred deposit of public order which has been confided to it, it will do nothing by which its dignity might be compromised ; or, whereby the inviolable rights of Isabella 11., and our laws as esta blished by the Estatuto Real might be endangered. " The Captain-General of Arragon has received from Peralta, under the date of the 18th of January, a report, from which it results that our troops have had an engagement with the rebels between Mendoza and Asarta. The details are not known, but the Queen's troops were victorious." PARIS, JAN. 27.—The journals of the South do not yet contain accounts of the events at Madrid, and the great quantity of snow that has fallen lately, suspended in some measure the military operations in the Biscayan province. There was, howe ve r, a vague re p or t o f a n action near Gotella, and th e C ar li s t s cont i nue d th e i r a tt ac k o f Elisondo. There was also a report of an action at Orosco, in Biscay.

This, at least, results from the journals of Bayonne and Bordeaux, but we must now see what effc, - .A will be produced by the events at Madrid. General Dwernicki, in the name of the Polish rehires in France, has just addressed a letter to the Chamber of Deputies, protesting against any Claims that may be made by the illegitimate and illegal Government which now op presses Poland, and disputing its rights to make any claims, because in every case this right cannot be exercised except by a legitimated regular po wer o f P o l an d , f ree, ent i re , re generated and reinstated in it s i mper i s h a bl e r i ghts, a powe r emanating from the n a ti ona l w i ll expressed by its repre sentatives legally appointed , —Afessager, Jan. 27. CHAMBET OF DEPUTIES.—.SITUING Of JAN. 26. .ne President announced that the order of the day was the explanation demanded by M. Isambert, on the subject of the Russian claim. M. Abraham Dubois, after demanding to be heard on the order of the day, said that M. Isambert had already ques tioned Ministers, by whom he had been answered. He (M. Dubois) conceived that the Chamber was not justified in obtruding itself as a party to the diplomatic negociations already commenced, and he, therefore, proposed that no further explanations should now be demanded, The President replied, that as the Minister for Foreign Affairs had professed his readiness to enter into explana tions, the order of the day ought not to be changed. Here a scene of the greatest confusion and tumult en sued. M. Isambert ascended the Tribune, but in vain en deavoured to obtain a hearing. Several Deputies of the Centre loudly exclaimed "To the vote." The President insisted that the Deputies opposed to the proposition of M. Dubois should be heard. At length, when silence was partialle 'restored, Isambert contended that the question now related Inot to fresh but to past negociations, and that, conse- I quently, he had a right to address questions to a Minister, especially as the latter had already answered, and as the Chamber had consented to that course. M. Viennet supported the proposition of M. Dubois. The President said that he at least would defend the rights of the Chamber, which he considered entitled him to demand the explanations noted in the order of the day. The Chamber might before have refused its sanction to the course adopted by M. Isambert, but as its permission had been granted unanimously, he (the President) would main tain the right of discussion.—(Violent murmurs from the centres.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs repeated that Ministers were ready to enter into the explanations demanded. After some further discussion, the Chamber decided that the explanations should be entered into, and the President declared that M. Isambert was in possession of the tribune. M. Isambert commenced with observations relative to the occupation of Poland by the French troops, between the years 1806 and 1812 ; and, after citing the text of the Convention on which the present claim of Russia was grounded, maintained that the treaty of 1818, signed by Prince Pozzo di Borgo as Minister Plenipotentiary of the Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, liberated France in the rrr%s l. r':`° ; .tive manner from all claims. In proof of this as sertion, he would appeal to the correspondence of M. de Richelieu, and one of the Emperor Alexander's Ministers, from which it would be distinctly seen that, in 1816, France had already paid 200 millions. In that correspondence also might be read the following words of the Russian Em peror's Minister :—" Had the negotiation regarded only his Polish subjects, his Imperial Majesty would, without hesi tation, have abandoned all negotiation ; hut, as other na tions are interested, a conference has be en demanded in which the respective interests may be debat ed." The Hon. Deputy, after saying that the production of the original dis patch would establish the correctness of his citation, then proceeded to read to the Chamber the pre an rble of the transaction of 1818, by the terms of which his contended that the foreign powers had liberated France fro , a l all claims. He also remarked that the 4th article of the Tr ea t ) of Aix la-Chapelle commences with the words "all act punts having been settled bet ween F rance an d the foreigr,k Powell the ' y s fi t x ,h e e d ir a .i t u ," .d & ic ; il He conceived that the terms of these merely m r v e e i l ntions were precise, and the Chamber should consider • mterpretationwere ad-t.n'litit:eindc,attilli°eninitfettioifnstolifethperinciple of contract ing, paliis might . be altogether set aside... On that priri ciPl thistht asie,tt that litid stiptilated only. or her bereaitary s t a t es . Pruss i a might have set op a claim, and these two powers might thus revive the claims of all their other States. With reference to the secret Con vention of 18161 the Hont Deputy maintained that the secret articles of a treaty. and especially of a former treaty, could. neither ,annibilate n9r modify articles which had be 6 HOAI ht all EiirBo6! aid heatik of the different nations. He also quoted the opinion of the Council of State in 1818, declaring France wholly liberated from the claims of foreign powers. After referring to the present situatieh of Poland; he bbserirtd; that if Russia made a claim in her own name, the 'treaty Of 1818 might be brought forward in proof that France owes nothing. But if the claim were made in behalf of Poland, France might deny the right of Russia to put forward such a demand, km= much as the 'add. had Mt tr4atfel Ot 1815 with regard to Poland. There was, however, one debt which France owed to Poland—her glorious companion in arms—but it was a debt of blood, which could only be paid on the field of battle. To the payment of that obligation the nation would consent.—( Hear, bear.) Let Ministers demand from the Chamber the means of discharging it, and they should be granted ; but the Chamber would never vote money only for the benefit of Poland's oppressor.— (Cries of " Bravo !") The Hon. Deputy complained that the Government had ratified another treaty, without sub mitting it to the Chambers—a treaty which exposed Prance to a war with one of her hitherto most faithful allies. He then returned to the subject of the Polish claims, and trusted that regenerated Franed Was reserved for a brighter destiny, than to be made the sport of foreign diplomacy. In conclusion, he would ask if the Ministers of the King could now call themselves the Ministers of the Itevoldinti of 1830 ?—( Hear, hear, from the left, and applause from the public galleries.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs stated, that notwith standing the assertion that all claims fiat Mitdd Witbiti tile period stipulated by the treaty of 1818 were null and void, an additional Article had been annexed to the treaty of the 30th of May, 1814, placing the Duchy of Warsaw in an ex ceptional position. It had been pretended that the Con vention of 1810 hat! tun been ratified, but this teal ail error, as the proces-verbal of the exchange of ratifications was deposited in the Archives of the Administration of Fo reign Affairs. Article 18 of the Treaty of 1814 was not applicable to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, which had been excepted by the addifftmal article already spoken of, simply because the Poles had not marched into Paris with the con querors t they had been conquered with Prance.—(den sation.) The sth article of the Convention even prescribed certain forms to be observed in making the claims, such, for instance, as the naming of Commissionere . .. He would now also produce a document o f th e Bth of July, 1818, in M. de Richelieu signed important instructions for the French Cetnrei”ioner,,proving hl Own belief in the excep tions Thad° in favour of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. Here several Deputies demanded that the document should be reed, but that Mite Was declined by the Minister, who observed in continuation, that after the Convention of 1818 a• negotiation had been opened, and had subsequently, for different reasons, been suspended i trst i because the French Commissioners did not arrive in suffieient time at Warsaw; and next, beeallge the necessary documents were wanting there. From 1819 to 1822 M. Hedouville, the French Commissioner, resided at Warsaw, where claims were pre sented to him. An article inserted in the ilionitcrir of the I,9th of August, 1818, proved that the Government by no means looked upon the Convention of 1818 as applicable to the claims of the Duchy of Warsaw. M. Isambert here remarked that the article in question referred only to the claims of French citizens,, The Minister lhr continuation, said dirt after a discussion which had arisen between the French. and Russian CommisSioners, and which had been settled in 1829, the negotiation was on the point of being resumed in 1830. Meanwhile some French citizens interested in the question, petitioned the Chamber, which had referred them to the Minister, thereby pronouncing, by implication, the same opinion on this point as the present Ministry. In Poland, also, claims had been addressed to the Emperor. It bad been agreed, at the commencement of 1830, that Polish Commissioners should visit Paris. From the series of facts, it resulted that the Duchy of Warsaw, and that Duchy alone, had claims upon France. The decrees of the Council of State had been spoken of ; its decision was correct, all claims except that of the Duchy of Warsaw being included in the convention of 1818. The Emperor Alexander's opinion had also been quoted ; but he had never abandoned the claim of the Duchy of Warsaw. In conclusion, the greatest confidence might be placed in the opinion of Government, that the Chamber might banish all uneasiness as to the result of the negotiation that had been commenced. M. Odilon Barrot said that a negotiation had been opened with Russia, and proclaimed in the Moniteur, not withstanding the existence of an article of a convention which formally liberated France from all claims of a date prior to 1818. It was right that government should be aware that the attention of the Chamber was awakened td its measures. France did not wish to hear it repeated, as in the case of the American Treaty, that payment must be made, or that war must be declared—(Hear, hear.) Go vernment persisted in thinking that the negotiation should be continued, on the ground that the claims of the Duke of Warsaw had been reserved by an article of the Treaty, adding, that the result would impose no fresh burdens on the country. These were melancholy arguments, which were disproved by facts. Commissioners of liquidation had been mentioned, secret notes and correspondence of which the Chamber had no knowledge—but how could these modify existing treaties ? The Convention of 1818 had a cha racter which it was impossible to avoid recognising, both on account of the publicity which it had obtained, and also on account o f it s signatures. In 1818 there had been an Ambassador representing the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. In the same year Prince Pozzo di Borgo engaged Russia and Poland in this important transaction ; and, when M. de Richelieu demanded a last sacrifice from the Chamber of Deputies, he stated that all was definitely arranged. His words were consigned in the Illonitcur—( Hear, hear.) It had been alleged that Poland had not fought against France. True but such was also the case with regard to other powers. For instance, Saxony, Denmark ; and yet all had been included in the treaty, The Hon. Deputy terminated by saying that the negotiation, if continued, must be so on the responsibility of Government.—( Hear, hear.) The Minister of the Interior wished to place the question in its real point of view. It was not because Poland had not fought against France, that she was placed in an excep tional situation. In 1814 and 1815 various sApulations had been made. The claims of States upon each other were pronounced null and void, but those of individuals were declared valid. M. de Richelieu, in demanding from the Chambers twenty-four millions of rentes to pay all the contributions, added that -the rights of individuals were re served. With regard to Poland, a series of transactions had taken place between the Duchy of Warsaw and France, from the year 1808 to 1814. Poland bad received from Napoleon money, ammunition, and troops, and given in return provisions to the French army of occupation. An evident proof that Poland had been considered an exception was, that in the treaty of 1814, an additional article had been inserted in her favour, for the appointment of a special commission charged to regulate the mutual claims existing between Poland and France. In 1815, when France had again to contend with a victorious enemy, the same system had been adopted by the 9th article of the treaty of that year. The same treaty contained an additional article, which also placed Poland in an exceptional position. This last a dditional article was not ratified by Russia, but it was afterwards replaced by the Convention of 1816. The Con vention of 1816 was a public treaty ; for a treaty was not secret, merely because it had not been printed and pub lished. During fifteen years the treaty bad given rise to no difficulties—to no objections from the two contracting par ties. After some commentaries on certain expressions con tained in the articles of the treaty, the Minister affirmed that after the final liquidation, the balance would be in favour of, rather than against France. General Demarcay—Then I recommend you to abandon your balance.—(A laugh.) The Minister of the Interior next proceeded to assert that though Poland was annexed to Russia at the period of the Convention of 1818, she had not lost her right of putting forward her claims against France, as neither the debts due from states to states, nor those due from indi viduals to individuals, were the objects of that Convention, but simply the claims which the coalesced states had raised against France. He would only observe, that petitions on the subject of the Polish debt had been addressed to the Chamber, which had forwarded them to Ministers. The latter had addressed themselves to Russia, and it was there fore natural that Russia should address herself to the French Government. He would conclude by again ex pressing his participation in the opinion of the Cabinet, that the liquidation of the claims would prove by no means dis advantageous to France. Odillon Barrot protested against the inference sought to be drawn from the presentation of petitions. It was by no means to be concluded from that circumstance, that France was the creditor or the debtor of any power. He had always considered it an established principle that a se cret act could not modify a public act. Consequently, the o n n tion of 1816 must fall before that of 1818. The convention had ably pleaded the cause .of Russia, but were it to be said to the most insignificant Juge de Paix in France t h e country, in 1815, entered " into engage men t s from w hich, in 1 818, she was liberated —how would he decide upon the case The Minister of the Interior denied that he had pleaded the cause of Russia, and retorted that charge Upon the Op. position, who had asserted that the system of negociotion might lead to the most extravagant demands on the part of Poland. If the dangers and difficulties of the negotiation were increased, that result might be attributed solely to the Opposition, M. Odillrin Barrot thought it but natural that the Cham ber should evince anxiety when the national dignity and the public treasury were threatened. In his opinion, Ministers Aught to take advantage of the discussion, and to consider it.as a ni6etisB likvl7 to furnish them with weapons against foreign claims. T,he President —Is the Chamber of opinion that the dis cussion shudid lie elbged? (Cries of " Yes, yes," from all sides.) The President—The discussion is closed. As there is nothing to put to the vote, the Chamber passes to the or ddr of tl-a day. Every body will think about it.—Ad journed at six o'clock. iitENCH FUNDS —l'Attlft, JAN. 27.

VIENNA, JAN. lb.—An English courier has arrived here from London ; his despatches seem to have been of importance, Pie On 'Change, where it is soon guessed whether such an arrival is of much consequence, there was immediately much bustle and eagerness to purchase. It was said that the Duke of Wellington had given hopes and the assurance that he would make no change in the foreign policy of England, but on the contrary do all in his power to settle by amicable arrangement the still pending ques tions that affect the general policy of Europe. Accord ingly there is nO reason to apprehend an interruption of peace, which the French Journals feared on the return of the Tories to power. As it is likewise said that the Con ferences in London will soon be resumed to decide the affair of Luxembeio!, it is hoped that the Powers will soon be able to proceed to the reduction of' the standing armies. In fact, as matters now stand, the realisation of this hope not conceivable, except with the existence vf a Tory Admi nistration in England. Nothing but its consolidation seems capable of affording a guarantee fur the promotion of the prosperity and tranquillity of nations, for the contest which is carried on with so much bitterness in the Pyrenean Pe ninsula will not extend beyond the boundaries of Spain, but end in the defeat of one of the parties, which in the end cannot have such great influence on other countries as to make them think it necessary to keep their armies on the War Establishment. In general less attention begins to be paid to Spain, and there is no idea that a revolution like that in France will take place there. The Castilian gravity is too grotesque in a revolutionary costume not to appear ridiculous. Zumalacarregui, alone by his chivalrous manners, and by his endeavours to pull off the mask from the phantom of a Hispano-Moorish Liberalism, vindicates the honour of his countrymen. No apprehensions of Ultra revolutionary scenes in Spain are apprehended, and we wait patiently to see how affairs there will end. Spain is uncon cerned in the dispute about principle ; only one principle is possible in that country, viz., the principle of legitimacy.— Allgenteine Zeitung, Jan. 23. SIR R. PEEL AND THE DUBLIN DISSENTERS. The following is Sir Robert Peel's reply to the resolutions passed by the Rev. Mr. M'Crea's congregation in Dublin : " Drayton Manor, Jan. 14. _ _ " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the Bth of January, transmitting to me a copy of the resolutions entered into unanimously by the congre gation of which you are the Minister, disclaiming any parti cipation in the sentiments recently expressed at a meeting of the Dissenting deputies in Birmingham, with regard to the King's Government, and the light in which measures of relief originating with that Government ought to be viewed by the Dissenting body. lam gratified by the assurances conveyed in your resolutions of your disposition to ascertain the intentions of the King's Ministers, and to understand their measures, before you condemn them ; and, above all, by the just and liberal opinions you express with regard to the Established Church, and its intimate connexion with the true interests of civil and religious liberty in Ireland. lam bound, at the same time, to state explicitly, that I wholly differ from you as to the policy of curtailing the privileges which the Act of 1829 conferred on our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and that I consider it indispensable to main tain the great principle which has been practically incorpo rated into the constitution of the country—the equality of civil privilege and civil capacity among Churchmen, Roman Catholics, and Dissenters.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient and faithful servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " The Rev. J. B. M'Crea, D'Olier-street Chapel." CHURCH AND STATE. (From the Patriot.) [We have received a copy of the following hand-bill, printed at Poole, and sold at the rate of tracts by the 100. It may not meet the views of our friends, but seems well adapted to correct popular misapprehensions of the opinions and designs of Dissenters.] What do you mean by separation of Church and State ? We will answer, in as few words as possible; we are much misrepresented on this subject, therefore we shall be very plain. First we shall tell you what we do not mean. WE, do not mean to pull down the buildings called churches and cathedrals ; we do not mean to take away the incomes of the existing bishops and clergy ; we do not mean to take the tithes and church property, or any part of it, into our own hands, or apply it to Dissenting congregations or purposes; we do not mean robbery, or sacrilege, or destructive measures; we do not mean to urge any sudden or violent steps which may lead to confusion, strife, and individual distress ; we do not mean to injure any living being. Now, we will tell you what we do mean—We soberly ask for the deliberate and constitutional repeal of every law which in any degree inflicts injury and injustice on our property, per sons, or character, because we are Dissenters ; we ask for the repeal of every law that denies us any privilege or benefit, be cause we are not Churchmen ; we ask for the repeal of several laws which compel us to be Churchmen against our own will, by which we may be forced into the spiritual court, may be ex communicated, sent to prison, and deprived of our property, unless we will do penance in a parish church ; we ask for the repeal of any law which prevents us from getting possession of our own property, unless we consent to apply for it in the character of Churchmen ; we ask that the Universities may be as open to young men who fear an oath, as they are to those who will swear to anything, whether they understand it or not ; we ask that the duty may be takon off the timber, glass , and bricks, which are used in building a meeting-house, as it is in building a church ; we ask that our ministers may be per mitted to preach in prisons, workhouses, and convict-ships : we ask that we may bury our own dead; we ask to solemnize our own marriages ; we ask that certificates of Dissenter's baptism should be as good evidenee in a court of law as a Churchman's : we ask to be freed from paying thousands of pounds every year to renew trust deeds for keeping possession of our own meeting-houses ; we ask that the Churchman should no longer compel us to pay for the wine and bread with which he celebrates the Lord's Supper, for the washing of the Clergyman's Surplice, and the repairs of a Church in which we never worship. Now, we appeal to you as an honest, thoughtful, Christian man, is there anything unreasonable, unscriptural, or unjust in what we ask ? This, then, is what we mean by the separation of Church and State ! ! DUBLIN. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) • The Irish Elections have ended in sporting style. Whatever wavering there may have been at one period, the end is glorious. Brady's victory at Newry, so much beyond expectation, and the simultaneous suc cesses at Wexford, Meath, Louth, Mayo, Cork, and Kerry, have crowned the hopes of the Reformers, and struck dismay into the hearts of their enemies. It was boasted, at the commencement of the contest, that seventy Conservative candidates had taken the field — and this was held forth as an argument of re-action. But where are those seventy candidates now ? Twice seventy thousand pounds have they expended in at tempts to corrupt the people ; but their money has perished with them, and Ireland sends to the mighty struggle which another month will see begun, and, in all probability, ended, thirty-seven Tories—five men who, though doubtful, are considered rather Whig than Tory—and sixty-three determined, pledged, and united foes of the Peel Administration. Of those Tories, two will assuredly be unseated—l mean the declared members for the City of Cork ; and if the allegations contained in Mr. 'Wallace's letter and Mr. O'Dwyer's statement can be established, as little doubt remains of the dismissal of the two members for Car low County. Thus you see that Ireland has done her duty, and unequivocally told the King her mind. The following are the returns from the various Irish counties, and their boroughs and cities : Reformers.

On the balance of numbers with the last Parlia ment, the country has gained in the following places :--- Belfast, 1 ; Newry, 1 ; King's County, 1; Galway, 1 Waterford, 1. To counterbalance these gains, we have lost Mr. Pat Lalor in the Queen's County ; Blackney, Vigors, and Wallace, in Carlo* ; Talbot (a very sus picious person) in Athlone ; Callaghan, Baldwin, and , Stawell, in 'Cork and Kinsale. A Tory has also been added to the ranks from the doomed borough of Car rickfergus. This gives an advantage of FOUR to the adverse faction ! But when it is considered how greatly improved the popular representation is by tak ing such men into it as Wyse, O'Loughlen, Mus grave, O'Brien, Cave, Crawford, and M'Cance, and leaving out O'Reilly, Gaiwey, Keane, Macnamara, O'Callaghan, and Jacob, it must be acknowledged that in moral power and influence we have now more actual strength, than twice the mere numerical force we have lost, could supply. A FAIR TRIAL. Oat of thine own mouth do I condemn thee." Sir Robert• Peel, hold up your hand ! What, mute par contunzace ! Are you ashamed of the capital T, with which it is brand into the very bone ? Nay, but you will say, that is an obsolete barbarism- The world is now more just t:: , an to go back " sixty years since."—" To rake into the whole course of a man's life," said the constitutional ..11:dge Jefferies, "is very hard." No doubt he found it so. " Bah parlez-moi d'Adam et d'Eve !" said the fair Partizan of Napoleon, when Walter Scott twitted her with th e murder of D'Enghien. Take me as I am. Judge me by what I shall do from this day forth, and bury the past in oblivion. This is due to candour ! Softly, softly, Sir Robert. You take great credit to yourself for the reform of the Criminal Law ; and do you not recollect the new principle which you intro duced into that ? Is not your's, by an emphasis of ownership, that principle, akin to throwing water on a drowning rat, which brings forward to the prejudice of an arraigned culprit the record of a former conviction ? Did not your hand, that branded hand, interpose the plea of autrefois atteint betwixt the wretch and mercy ? Surely, therefore, in the face of that damning fact, you are the last man in this realm who shouia cry out for what you call " a fair trial."—" With the same measure that you mete withal, shall it be mew' sured unto you again." ESPERANCE. CHARGE OF MURDER. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr- STIRLING, at the Boot, Cromer-street, Judd-street, on the body of Henry Jenkins, whose death had been caused by a wound in his side from a table-knife. It appeared from the evidence, that the circumstance took place when the deceased was in his room along with a woman of the name of Georgiana Clarke, who cohabiteci with him. This woman stated that the deceased had received the wound accidentally, while cutting a piece of wood. It appeared, however, that they had had a quar rel about a young woman named Phcebe Dawson, who lived in the house, and that they did not live happily together. Mrs. Wilkins, the landlady of the house, stud that Clarke came down to her in the parlour to borrow o nutmeg-grater about eleven o'clock at night, and, on going away requested the witness to make less noise in rocking the cradle, as she had " stuck" Mr. Jenkins with a kvife• — : Elizabeth Wilkins, daughter of the last witness, said that on Saturday night she heard loud voices in the deceased! room, and soon afterwards she heard something fall' A few minutes after this, Clarke left the house ant returned with a medical gentleman. On the following morning the witness saw Clarke, who said that she had quarrelled with the deceased the previous night ; that he was in the act of striking her, when she, snatched up the knife and stabbed him with it ; and tha t the deceased fell on the floor and exclaimed, " You have done for me now, and God forgive you !" Phcebe Day/soot the young woman about whom the quarrel was said t ° have arisen, said that on Saturday night Clarke c alled her up to the deceased's room, and told her that he ba a hurt himself with a knife in cutting some wood, but tfue t he was more frightened than hurt. The witness saw hill' on Sunday morning, when he was in bed, and appeared very ill. He asked her whether Clarke had told any hod); of what had happened ; she replied, " Yes, Mrs. Wilkins on which the deceased said, then she has done for her-. self." The Jury returned a verdict of—Wilful Murder against Georgiana Clarke. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—A poor mall of the name of Battersby, residing in Lancaster, has, within th ese few days, experienced an unexpected reverse of fortune, . b „, l becoming entitled to a legacy of about 5,000/. on tho deit,; of a brother-in-law in North Wales. One morning, sitting at breakfast, the family was astounded by the receipt ° a letter announcing the above gratifying intelligence, and 31 1 ° 0 the sum of 141. inclosed, to provide themselves with respectab., apparel, and to pay their travelling expenses whilst on th e journey to receive the legacy.—Preston Pilot. About the middle of the last century, a shepherd ° f the name of Stewart, with his family, resided in a sheilisi during the summer months, in a certain pass between Glentl f ; chy and Glenlyon ; and, in order to better his circumstall e fa and benefit people travelling that way, he provided hir(?7, with a cask of whisky, (the favorite beverage of the 1 -11 ,,g r , landers,) and disposed of it as occasion might require. .."-t; wards the end of the season, when his family h a d returned _ t the strath, the whisky was still permitted to remain, so ti lt any person that might pass, and had been accustomed to tr,ci7B there for a refreshment, should not be disappointed. shepherd himself, however, being in the course of his oecu.P.,, e tion, daily in the neighbourhood, visited the shelling &out °v . , to time, to observe the results of this uncommon experiglet; and, astonishing to relate, never missed a drop of his liquor 0, what had been fully accounted for, by its value being def t ly sited beside the cask.
