public opinion, which cannot be controlled by the Tmcs of this House, and independent of them.—(hear. ) ) never was more convinced of the truth of any proposition than this, vaat ribiie opinion will not sanction your proceedings It ts ry - bow with apparent submission, but not with appretalion, to your at` ,myt to throw impediments in the way of the Executive Go %eminent. It will not suction your vote of want of confidence, if Poch is meaet. to ',et implied by your proceedings.—( Hear, hear,) W'.y not declare that your object is not to throw out the present government, but to mal‘e the Government hi which you have no confidence undertake those measures. Are you confident in your c:n thoughts? You say you have a majority ; and if so, are you prepared to assume the executive Government ?—( Cheers.) That z a question which I think should. be asked. If you feel that no can count upon the support of the people and upon a majority this House, why not at once take that course which will decide the question, and assume that responsibility? I avow that I cannot undertake to enforce tbs proposition—l differ from you, and I give ton this fair - advice—l intend to object to the Committee—l intend is. object to the resolution—l intend to object. to the communica tion of that resolution to his Majesty.—(Ministerial cheers.) If, aster that, you persevere in this resolution, and that you intend to object to the progress of that measure—(hear. hear)—the pr;nciple of which, I admit, I am bound to believe is necessary to the settlement of the tithe question—if you perse eere in a principle which I cannot concur in, then I shall admit (the intention being clearly intimated) that it will be my duty to declare that it will be impossible for me to remain in the situation which I have at present the honour to fill.—( The Right Hon. Baronet ass down amid loud and long continued cheering from the Minis terial Benches.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that neither in the case in which sti pends were paid where there were no parochial schools and no ser vice performed, nor in the case in which the incomes of the clergy might be augmented where they were abundantly paid already, could any benefit result to the great mass of the population. The Right Hon. Baronet had asked him if he meant to pull down the churches. He thought there was something extremely odd in this inquiry. Where a church was properly established it could not re.. quire any very great expense to keep it up ; and he should think that. where there was a church, and Divine Service properly per , formed in it, it would be entirely wrong to disturb or interfere with it.—( Hear, bear.) The Noble Lord, the Member for Lan cashire, had said that he would not consent to anything of this sort bring done in Ireland, yet he might consent to it in Canada, and that it. was quite right there should be a different sort of establish ment in Scotland. Surely the Noble Lord forgot that the House was as much bound to attend to the interests of the people of Ireland as to the people of Canada or of Scotland, and that it was not bound to abide by the letter of the law any more in one case than in the other. w lt might be said, as it had been, that the plan proposed would go to affect the Church of England. Cer tainly, if he could suppose the Church of England to be in the situation in which the Church of Ireland now was, it would go to affect it. But what was the ease of the Church of England ? It had ministers in it preaching the religion which the people be lieved. There were tithes undoubtedly creating some discontent, but acknowledged - to be the law by the whole country. The estab lishment here was agreeable to the people ; it was with the consent of the people, and to their general benefit. The real question was that which the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated at the commence ment of his speech. He stated that the property consisting of tithes not having been in a due and regular course of collection for nearly four years, the question was, what course the House would pursue in order to secure the Church right to that property, and what was the disposition they would make of it? This was the real question, and so long as the House pursued the policy of the Right Hon. Baronet, so long would it be before they came to a satisfactory settlement of the question.—( Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") He had always been an advocate against that sort of legislation which was adverse to the interests of the people, repugnant to their feelings, against the principles of reform, and would not stand the test of a scrutiny, and he should continue to be so, because he was persuaded of the propriety of that course. So convinced was he of it, that if by any chance or accidentahe Right Hon. Baronet, instead of having been left in a continued minority since the commencement of Parliament, had been in possession of a large majority, and if he could even obtaW more than 100 of a xaajority on the present question, he was sure the real strength of the question was such, that it would be brought forward year after "year—( Hear)—and that it would be impossible for the House finally to maintain the system now in operation. On the other hand, he was sure, if the House adopted the other system, and now applied part of the revenuos to the education of the people, it would then show to the people of Ireland that this was not a sum to be collected from them in which they were to take no interest. They would show they wished to attend to them, and that when they ramie a law beneficially, they would make it effectually.—(Cheers.) Under those.eircumstances he could do no otherwise than ask the House to go into a Committee to consider this. It would be for the House then to say whether or not the resolution should be sent in an address to the Throne. It seemed certainly to him, that ac cording to the natural course of measures of this kind, such an ad dress would - be expedient. He could not feel it could be right to introduce a bill upon the subject without the consent of the Mi nisters. A measure of this kind ought to proceed irons Govern ment. He was confident that if the Right Hon. Baronet chose to undertake it, abandoning the principle he had assumed, great advantage would be afforded to it by the impulse he would be able to bring to its force. But while he did not bring forward the re solution in order to distress the Government—(Hear, hear)—he was quite convinced that the principle was of so much importance, that it contained so much within itself for the future peace and good government of Ireland, that he ought 'not to delay an instant in its proposal, even if he were told that its effect would be to embarrass or destroy any Ministry.—(Hear, hear.) As he had said it was a principle he was prepared to maintain against his Noble Friend, with whom he *regretted he had to differ on the subject, a question which he .had advocated when it arose from time to time in his official intercourse with his colleagues, and surely it could not now be expected that for the purpose of keeping in office a Ministry so weak and of so little inherent power as the present Ministry possessed, he should avoid bringing forward the resolution. The Learned Solicitor-General had powerfully argued against the proposition,: but he remembered a Solicitor-General who in that House opposed Catholic Emancipation. He after wards became Attorney-General, and then Master of the Rolls. He delivered an eloquent speech against the Emancipation, io which, amongst other things, he brought before their eyes all the horrors of the reign of Queen Mary ; but after a little time that same Learned Person took directly an opposite course, and he recollected hearing him say, when he was quoting an Act of King William to show that the Catholics were admissible, and in answer to another Member who said that he had taken a contrary course the previous year, " Yes, but since that time I have been prosecuting my studies." (" Hear, hear." aid laughter.") He had considerable hopes that the present Learned Solicitor-Ge neral, taking advantage of that example, would alio prosecute his studies—(Hear, hear)—and very soon come down to the House quoting the statute of Henry VIII., in order to sustain the posi tion of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Cambridge, that the ec clesiastical function properly included th e re li g i ous an d moral ed ucation of the people.—(Cheers.) Under these circumstances he would go with confidence to the decision of the House. He should indeed consider himself weak if he consented to wait till the end of May, or beginning of June, and then introduce a Bill to Parliament upon the subject, with respect to which, after he had taken consi derable F sins in framing, the Right Hon. Gentleman having got all his supplies—(Hear, hear)—and in possession of all he wanted, would tell him some day, on the third reading, or perhaps when it first went up to the House of Lords, that all his time and labour had been lost because it was the intention of his Majesty next day to prorogue Parliament.—(Cheers, and laughter.) Be fore the House came to a decision on the Tithe Bill, it was abso lutely necessary that its opinions should be taken on this principle. He was not disposed to pass any Tithe Bill in which the principle of appropriation was not rccongnized ; nor was he prepared to support any Government who by a Tithe Bill of this nature would continue the use of military force.—(Cheers.) He was persuaded notwithstanding all the taunts of his Noble Friend, the Member for Lancashire, and notwithstanding what had been said by the Right Hon Baronet, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that adapt ing a Tart of th e revenues o f t h e C hurch to education where Roman Catholics and Protestants could be educated together, where they might be taught many at least of the great principles of Christianity, and where it might. lie left to them to learn and to read their re spective peculiar creeds from their own ministers, on certain days and at certain hours, that that would be a plan which would contri bute in no small degree to promote harmony amongst these between" whom that discord and animosity had existed which all must de plore.—( Cheers. ) With respect to the amendment of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Weymouth, he did not see any reason for using the words proposed in the first part of the amendment ; at any rate he thought. it. would be better not to press that at present. If it should be the pleasure of the House in Committee to adopt thorn, be certainly should not object to it. As to the latter part of it, if the members of the church establishment increased so as to re quire a resumption of any part of the surplus, there could be no ob- j jection to that provision. The Gallery was then cleared for a Division, when there appeared -7 For the Resolution Against it • ..... Majority against Ministers 33 On the annofincement of the numbers from the Chair, it was accompanied with cheering for some minutes. The voice of Mr. O'Connell was piirtienlarly audible. Upon our return to the gallery, we found Sir R. PEEL on his legs, proposing that the debate, upon the bringing up of the Report, should be - post mined till Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to any postponement. He hoped the report would be brought up to-morrow. After some discussion the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. 322 289 During the whole of this discussion the greatest excitement pre vailed throughout the House. The Opposition appeared quite elated, but the Ministers could with difficulty educe a cheer. Sir R. P, el was paler than he was even upon the Address ; he spoke with hesitation and difficulty although lie endeavoured to make light of the matter. It, was quite evident, both from the countenances of the Right Hon. Tlaronet and his colleagues, that they considered that they Lad by this night's vote received their death -warrant as Ministers. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Three this morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NORTHAMPTON SPRING RACES, Arnm 2. The yeomanry plate of 501. . was won by Mr. Hill's Saccharina beating Mr. Dickins's Little Bo Peep and two others. The Open Stakes of 10 sovs. each. Mr. Wilkins's Denbies 1 Hon. C. Ongley's Cottager 2 Mr. Lambden's Little Rover Mr. Salloway' s C annon B all 4 The Tally-ho stakes of 25 sovs. each were won by Mr. Hobson's Mike beating Donnington, Radical Slang, Lady Emily and Audley (dis. ) Match, 25 sovs.—Mr. Brown's Profligate beat Mr. Earl's Virago. The Hurdle Stakes of 10 sovs. each were won by Cannon Ball 1-eating Figurante and three others. Match, 25 sovs. (hurdle).—Mr. Harris's Turpin beat Mr. Ru.s sell's &Tipton. The Farmer's Plate was won, after 4 heats, by Mr. Shaw's Cricket Ball beating several others. Little Bo Peep won the first two heats, but was disqualified as being thorough bred. The forced handicap was won by Little Rover beating Denbies, Radical, Vivian, and four others. The sport was excellent. The House last night exhibited much of that feli citous ventriloquism for which the last Parliament was so much admired. The braying, the mewing, the sounds of seemingly violent expectoration, and some indescribable noises, partly resembling the roar of a lion, and a cry of distress, were sent forth in regular succession. Amidst this scene of confusion,' some Hon. Members called for a division ; others clamoured for the 'question ; and appeals were made to the Chair ; and ,vociferous cries of " Question" and " Divide," became =maul more vehement. LORD J.

Mathews was subject to fits, and it was the general opinion that he would never reech the age of twenty-five; his nervous irritability was terrible, and he was so sensitive, that his existence must have been a torture to him.

We offer to our readers our most sincere and hearty congratulations on the result of the debate on the Irish Church. A splendid victory has been obtained—a noble triumph achieved. But when we say this, we do not allude merely to the triumph of one party in the State over another, although when we consider the respective prin ciples of the two parties, that is no small source of delight to us ; no, it is because, in this deliberate and well weighed decision of the Commons of Great Britain, we see the bold and open recognition of a principle based on the eternal foundations of justice, and in its application calcula ted to produce the most beneficial consequences not to Ireland alone, but to the whole empire—it is on this most important of all grounds that we hail with unspeakable joy the event—we will not hesitate to call it the ever-memorable event—of this morning. That this event, so pregnant with results, involves the fall of the present unprincipled 'Government, is, as we have already stated, a subject of rejoicing. Their fate is determined—their doom has been pronounced by the Representatives of the people, and their own Chief has declared his submissive acquiescence. The sentence will be ratified by the applauding voice of the nation ; and not of the nation only, but of every man, to whatever nation or tribe he may belong, whose mind has been cast in a liberal mould, and who regards political profligacy in the rulers of a people as a public calamity. Whoever has read over the debates which have termi- noted• so auspiciously for the national prospects, with any degree of care, cannot fail to have been struck by the leading idea in almost every speech delivered on the Minis terial side-of the House. Hon. Members seem to have .taken it for granted that it is impossible for the revenues of a Church to be too large. Their argument is that Church property cannot, from its very nature, be diverted from the Protestant Establishment, though its amount should exceed, ever so far, the necescory or r'„ :t . . Ti 7.:: is Luidamental doctrine of the non-appropriators, and we find Lord STANLEY not only avowing, but practically applying it. I admit, says the Noble Lord, that there are numbers of parishes in Ireland, in which there is not a single Protestant —many in which there arc not half-wdozen—multitudes in which there are very few—and not one in which they are not a very small minority ; but still I cannot touch the sacred frame-work of Protestantism. I must keep up the same number of workmen, whether they have work to do or not ; and he who does much, and he who does little, and he who does nothing at all, shall fare alike—they shall all receive an equal reward. I cannot make any distinction, because, if I were to apportion the remuneration to the duties per formed, I should be compelled to have no parson where there are no duties. It is no stretch of this principle, but a legitimate and necessary consequence of it, to maintain that if there were not one Protestant in Ireland, the same Pro testant Establishment must be kept up, as if the whole population were of that persuasion. There is little danger that a proposition so extravagant —so shocking to common sense—should gain the assent of any man who makes a proper use of the understandin g which Goan h as given him. Lord STANLEY'S authority is great, weighty, grave—much more so, doubtless, than he thinks it ; but it will not bring over many converts to opinions such as these—even if he could conceal the curious fact that he has himself done, and been accessory to the doing of, more to violate this new-light principle of inviolability, than any other man alive. Witness his Tithe Bills, and that whole sale, Bishop-demolishing measure, by which he unfrocked half a score of Right Rev. Prelates with as little ceremony as if they had been so many supernumeraries in the colonial office. This is what some people call consistency We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The Moniteur states that General MINA has received a reinforcement to the number of eight thou sand troops, and that the Minister of War is expected in Navarre. The latter statement is however merely con jectural. General VALDEZ will not leave Madrid unless the health of MINA continue so delicate as to prevent him from taking the field in person. Several Mernhers of the French Bar, who were nomi- J, ut). nated to assist the prisoners of April, have gi►•en notice to Barcn PASQUIER, president of the Chamber of Peers, that their services have been refused, and that it would be dero. gatory to their honour to force such services on the pri. son ers. Brussels and German papers have been received. The latest accounts from Vienna state that the EMPEROR had been waited upon by a deputation of the nungarian Nobles and the Pat2iarch Archbishop of EsLAti, who presented an address to his Imperial Majesty, expressive of their deep regret for the loss the Empire sustained by the death of the Emperor FRANCIS, and professing the most devoted attachment to the reigning SOVEREIGN. The address, which was written in Latin, was most graciously received. The Landgrave of HESSE has just obtained a verdict in a lawsuit which has been pending for twenty years, relative to the dowry of his second wife, who was also his brother's daughter. The fortune he was to have received with his niece in marriage was 13,000 dollars, the accumulated inte rest of which amounts to 9,000 dollars. We shall offer no other comment on this, and similar marriages among the German Princes, than to observe that it sufficiently accounts for the hereditary insanity' and stupidity which distinguish some of the most prominent members of the Aulic Council. Nature cries out against such violations of laws engraven on the human heart. VIENNA, MARC!! 27.—Five per Cents. 1014; Four per Cents, 954; Bank Shares, 1343.—Allgemcine Zeitunq, March 29. PARLIAMEN TARP SUMMARY In the LORDS the third reading of the Oaths Abolition Bill was postponed till Monday next. Some smart discus sion took place on Church Property. In the COMMONS, a ballot was taken for the nomination of Members to try the Drogheda Election Petition. A warm discussion ensued on the presentation of a petition from Lower Canada. The adjourned debate on the all absorbing resolution of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was resumed by Sir J. CAMPBELL, who, with Mr. Sergeant WILDE, Mr. BUXTON, Mr. RICHARDS, Lord CLEMENTS, and Mr. O'CONNELL spoke in support of the motion, which was opposed by Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. Twiss, Mr. BORTHWICK, and Sir R. PEEL. Aftei: a reply from Lord JOHN RUS SELL, the House divided, when a majority of THIRTY THREE AGAINST MINISTERS- was declared. The House then resolved itself into a Committee pro forma. Sir R. PEEL wished to defer the further consideration of the re solution till Monday next. That course, however, was rejected, and the Resolution will be considered in Com mittee this evening. The House adjourned at half-past three. , (7. • •;:: 150 , r,./T DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.)

Still, Sir Robert Peel is determined to maintain his post, until it is carried by assault, and then, that he will advise his Majesty to dissolve Parliament, is the prevailing opinion in the City. There was a great bustle at an early hour this morning at the various Coffee-houses in the city, politicians, speculators, and stockjobbers posting to town, all anxiDus to ascertain the division in the Commons last night (or this morning) ; and the moment they ascertained the important event, they immediately pro ceeded to the Stock Exchange, but, contrary to the general expectation, the defeat of Ministers had little or no effect on the funds. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 for the Account, opened at 91; ; at present they are 91 % g for the Account, with little doing.

THREE O'CLOCK In his reply, last night, Lord John Russell said that had Lord Melbourne's Administration remained in office, he had no doubt that long before the present time they would have had a Bill before Parliament to accomplish the objects which his motion had in view. Great dissatisfaction is expressed by the Dissenters of Brighton at the absence of Captain Pechell from the House on the evening of Thursday last, when Mr. Tooke brought forward his motion for an Address to the King pray, ing for the grant of a Charter to the London University. MURDERER APPREHENDED.—A person of the name of Archibald M'Grigor was apprehended at Glasgow on Saturday, by David Dow and H. M'Kay, two of the criminal officers, on a charge of murder. The crime was committed on Friday week in Mr. Hay's stables, West Regent-lane. The ostler there and the accused had quarrelled about some trifling matter, and the fo rmer wa s stabb e d in the l e ft e y e b y a pitch fork. When the officers apprehended M'Grigor, they found him concealed in a hole behind a bed in his mother's house, in Mitchell-stre e t. H e i s d um b, an d i s th oug h t to b e not alto gether sane.

A WHIP.—A Greenwich coach was nearly upset on Sunday afternoon by coming,into contact with the Deptford gate. Coachee's pace was better than his judgment. The passengers were mere frightened than pleased. Fortunately, however, no one was hurt. GREAT TOM.—The arrival of this distinguished stranger is expected to take place next week. We earnestly hope that the inhabitants of all grades and distinctions will unite to welcome the arrival of our old friend, by meeting him at the Bar-gate and conducting with all due honour and so lemnity to the important station he is destined to fill in our venerable Cathedral. The day on which Great Tom is ex pected will, we hope, be announced to the i n h a bit ants i n time for arranging with proper effect a procession or meeting suitable to the dignity of our long-lost friend and monitor....

On one occasion the assailants attacked the doors with sledge hammers, while the besieged defended them selvesr e by throwing shop wei g ht s an d pouring aquafortis upon he besiegers.

The Committee met at twelve o'clock to day. Mr. O'CONNELL having concluded his statement in support of the ap plication he made yesterday, for a Commission to scrutinize the votes in Dublin, in order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of bringing witnesses so great a distance, the Committee adjourned. Mr. J. J. Murt.pliv (Irish Agent for the Sitting Members) was ex. amined as to the probable number of witnesses that were necessary to support their case, and the expence that must be incurred in maintain ing them while attending the Committee. He stated that the attendance of SCO witnesses at least would be requisite for the sitting. He added that it would require 232 witnesses to prove the counter case, and sub stantiate their objections to the petitioner's case. There were other witnesses indispensably necessary to prove the acts of b•ibcry charged— the precise number of which he was unable to give. On the whole, the attention of 700 or 900 witnesses were absolutely necessary, all of whom resided in Dublin. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We have not room to-day for any detailed notice of the debate last night. The resolution of Lord John Russell, it will be seen, v. - as carried by a majority of 33—the numbers being 322 nod 289. Ane one who will take the trouble to refer to the debate will see with what danger the country is threatened. It is admitted that the funds of the Irish Church are to be reduced at present; that they arc to be further re duced, if the number of Protestants de.:reasas : that they arc to Ir aug. mented, if the number of Protestants receives addition. This, as Sir R. Peel truly observed, adds to religious dissensions the temptation of pe cuniary interest, and gives to the Catholics, who, it is boasted, are the overwhelming majority, a stronger interest in getting rid of the Proteitant population. Without attempting to raise the d: precated cry of " No Popery," we must be permitted to ask whether this may not be considered in Ireland as a premium upon the extirpation of Protestantism ? Mr. O'Connell plainly declared that he valued the resolution only as a sort of proclamation to the people of Ireland that they were to be governed upon a new system, and added his con viction, that if education were made general, and if the Protestants were enlightened, they would become converts to Catholicism,—they would "return to the folds from which they had strayed." We need hardly refer our readers to the speech of Sir R. Peel. We are as sure that every man in the kingdom will bestow on it a careful perusal, as we are certain that whatever temporary triumph the right hon. gentle Man's op ponents may achieve, the country will ultimately decide in his favour. The course to be pursued in this matter appears from the de bate to stand at present thus—Sir R. Peel has delared his in tention of opposing Lord John Russell in every stage—in com mittee—on the question of communicating the resolution to the Crown—on every subsequent proceeding in regard to this re solution. The question that the Speaker do leave the Chair was carried last night, and to-night Lord John Russell is to bring forward his resolution in committee. Sir R. Peel announced that if the Opposi tion should obstruct the Irish Tithe Bill he is about to introduce, he could no', consistently with his sense of duty, remain in office. Lord John Russell will not conse:►t to any Tithe Bill passing without his re solution being first carriel into effe..l. With that resolution Sir R. Peel says not only that he will have nothing to do, but that he will op pose it to the utmost. We shall soo:i, therefore, see, if Lord John Rus sell perseveres, the return of the " Incapablcs " to power, 4 reinforced by an accession of the " Destructives," and then God he:p them and the country Times. Notwithstanding the irreligious and revolutionary principle involved In Lord John Russell's motion for the spoliation of the Protestant Church in Ireland, and the able exposures of its consequences and ten dency which were given during four days of earnest and animated clic.% cussion, that principle was last night affirmed by a majority of the House of Commons, as will be seen on reference to the report. From the lateness of the hour at which our report of the proceedings was com pleted we can only refer generally to the able, argumentative, and unan. swerable address of Sir Robert Peel. Of this speech we may justly say (and no higher praise can be given), that it was in all respects worthy of the exalted reputation of the accomplished orator and statesman from whom it proceeded, and not incommensurate with the deep and awful importance of the occasion which called it forth. The Premier did not rise to address the House until late in the debate, a circumstance not to be regretted (fur who could have spoken after him ?) further than as it may, we fear, have the effect of rendering the reports of his in comparable address, which are now in the hands of the public, less per. feet than they might otherwise have been. It is an oration which is destined to command the gratitude and admiration not of the present age only, but of the most remote posterity, and it is fit that a gem which is to decorate and enrich the annals of Great Britain so long as British civilization and British literature shall endure, should be preserved in all, its perfection and purity. We hope that a more com plete and authentic record of this splendid oration will im mediately be given to the world than we or our fellow.labourers of the daily press can have preserved. This is due to history and to letters. But we advance a claim which will perhaps have still greater weight with a practical statesman like Sir Robert Pee', when we say that the most im portant interests of the living generation demand so much sacrifice of his valuable time and attention as may be necessary for this purpose. The nation is already beginning to move forward to the rescue of the Altar and the Throne from the daring and impious band who hang with insulting menace over both. To fan the zeal and invigorate the efforts of the people in the sacred cause of the Church and the monarchy such a speech as that of Sir Robert Peel is all that can be required.— Morning Post. We congratulate the country on the glorious result of the four days' debate. The motion has been carried by a majority of 33. The numbers were, 322 to 289. After this unequivocal manifestation of the opinion of the Representatives of the nation, it would be the height of madness in Sir Robert Peel to hesitate any longer as to the course he ought to pursue. The country ought no longer to be trifled with, merely that he may show how long lie can set the House at defiance. The vote of last night tells him, in language not to be misunderstood, that he cannot conduct the . Government of the country with advantage. Mr. Pitt, in 1784, might brave a majority of the Commons, because he could fall back on the nation; but Sir R. Peel is still more unpopular with the nation than the House of Commons. He has slaked his all on the issue of an attempt to preserve the Sinecure Church of Ireland untouched, and lee has lost. The question comes again before the House this day, on taking the report of the resolution into consideration, and for the sake of the character of the Right Hon. Baronet, we trust he will seize the occasion to announce his resignation. This deference to so decided an opinion of the House of Commons might be accepted as some slight atonement for the insult he has offered to the nation, by taking office to defeat its just expectations. It would be ridiculous to deny Sir Robert Peel the possession of good abilities, and that his speech last night was characterized by great dexterity. But the vote sufficiently shows that all his ingenuity is thrown away—that his exertions to gain for the To ries their old ascendancy are lost labour. Indeed, neither the people nor the real representatives of the people, even for one moment, were de. ceived by the professions of the Right Hon. Baronet. 'They knew that however skilfully he might act the character of a Reformer, he was still only acting. The hole.and.corner address to Sir Robert, concocted in the London Tavern, to which we alluded on Monday last, will be of slight avail to him in his difficulties, though there can be no doubt that great things were anticipated from its appearance at'a critical emergency. " What purpose beneficial to the nation (say these pretended Represen tatives of the Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and others, of London) can be answered by removing from the head of the Government a Minister who has shown himself to be distinguished by the possession of every quality that can fit him for that station, we are unable to discern." If these Merchants, Bankers, and Traders were in the secrets of the Court, they would have little difficulty in ascertaining that it was not for purposes beneficial to the nation that Sir Robert Peel was placed at the head of affairs. He is without the ore quality which alone can recommend a Minister to the people—he is without po litical honesty. He tither deceives the Tories or he deceives the nation. Perhaps he deceives both,—it is certain that he cannot satisfy both; and the people had their suspicions, which have been justified by the stand he le:s made in behalf of the abuses of the Sinecure Church of Ireland, that he would be obliged to sacrifice their interests to those of his Tory sup porters. Sir Robert, towards the close of a speech in which he exhibited all the doublings of a coursed hare, and appealed to whatever could possi bly influence a mixed body of upwards of 600 individuals, affected to be frank in stating the course he should adopt : " I give you notice (said the Right Hon. Baronet) that I intend to object to the Resolution in Committee, and I intend to object to the communication of that Resolution ;to his Majesty. But if you signify your intention to obstruct the progress of that measure, the principle of which I have propounded, and to which principle I must adhere; then I do say that such is the necessity that exists for the settlement of that question—l mean the '1 ithe Question in Ireland—without farther de lay, that if you mean to insist that that question is to be settled upon your own principles, I confess that I cannot conform to it. If you de. clare that you will not consent to the principle which I have laid down, then I shall consider that declaration as such an indication of the feel ing of this House, as, with my sense of duty, will render it impossible for me to remain in that situation which I have now the honour to fill." There cannot be a doubt as to the course which the Opposition will pursue with regard to the measure alluded to. They have declared that the Tithe Bill, without an accompanying measure of appropriation, would only irritate the people of Ireland, and, therefore, they must couple the appropriation with tire commutation of tithes. Neither, aiter the majority which they have obtained last night, or rather this morning, can there be any doubt that they have the power to give effect to their intentions. We are, however, inclined to think that a little cool reflection will induce Sir Robert Peel to terminate at once this un availing warfare. He admits that the course of his Government is di rected by his opponents. It is high time that he should abandon a situa tion which he cannot fill either creditably to himself, or usefully to the nation. What, in God's name, is to be gained by merely showing that, under the direction of his political opponents, he can retain office till they so modify the Tithe Bill that he must perforce resign. Let the Right Honourable Baronet have some consideration for the country which he holds in suspense. Something is surely due to its peace awl tranquillity. He ought never to have exposed it to the unnecessary agitation which has prevailed du ring his whole Administration—but to continue it by holding out, with out a shadow of hope, is a piece of factious pertinacity, ridiculous as being unavailing, were it not criminal as regards the nation. At this late hour we can only further remind the Members of the House of Commons, of the declaration of Sir Robert Peel, that he is to fight the resolution at every stage, and to lie in wait for every advantage. We must, there fore, warn them that they ought not to leave town, or absent them selves, without at least pairing, and to make no pairs without ascer taining that they are good men, as we are sorry to say some of the To ries have of late been found out in rather dishonourable doings in this way. Let us not allow the fruits of the victory of the people to be lost through any negligence.—Morning Chronicle. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYDS.
